Room temp Christian here! I do my Bible study, pray, go to church. But I work in an office all day. So this Saturday I'm volunteering! I'm helping at a store I'm gonna let my light shine so everyone can see the glory of God!
@@coffeebux You can work in an office and not be lukewarm. We must be ready to share the Gospel, love others at all times and be ready for Jesus to use us. He has us planted everywhere 💕
I respect the honest brother and even better you've got a plan to improve it. I feel an inspiration to donate some time next weekend. Soup kitchen, we've got one of those. Anyways good for you man. God bless you.
I always watch these “are you a lukewarm Christian?” Vids thinking I am. But then I come to the realization that I am literally on FIRE for God! I could not be more relieved! I pray that everyone who is here turns to become an on fire child of God! ❤❤ Jesus loves you!
@@JakeAKAthat1trombonist The church has turned from following the Lord. Christians resist the Holy Spirit and follow men and men's doctrines. They can't take the truth and hate the brethren. You can't have fellowship in a Babylon church building, and have fellowship with Jesus. They're enemies of God.
@@TheFightingSheep it depends with the church you attend. my church is very open and the people are much happier when you're on FIRE for God, like singing your heart out! that's one thing. God bless you
It’s so good of you to recognize your own area of lukewarmness. Jesus has you, keep leaning into Him and He will help you. He loves you so much. Don’t forget it
1 John 5:14 (ESV) "And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us." if you truly want a relationship with God, find peace in knowing that God will make it happen at the right time. it might be today, it might be tomorrow, or it might be a decent distance in the future, but if you keep that desire up, it WILL happen. hope this helps and God bless! ❤
I was lukewarm. I then lost my wife to divorce, our 18motnh daughter taken away for 50/50 custody and I have been struggling in my loneliness and love for them. My faith is stronger than ever now and I pray for my family to be restored. Please pray with me
Lord I pray for this man, I pray you help him Lord that you will bless him like Job in the Bible I pray you bless him after all of the struggle that now his faith is stronger. We thank you for this man Lord Jesus. Amen
@@bombasticbelle thank you. I’m waiting for his mercy and love to show. I know it will, just pray my family is his plan for me. I know he cares for them as I do.
I know this is not the time for now but... Does anyone wanna become my lawyer? I have evidence of my Mom cheating and it breaks my heart and sick to my stomach whenever i read the messages... Can anyone pray for my moms downfall?
I know how that feels man. I got saved a few years ago and recently i started becoming lukewarm especially after moving countries and having a tough time at school but slowly as I've made friends, I have tried to show the love of God and preach the gospel to some of my friends. For it is written “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Although the journey as a Christian is at times difficult, through God's strength and the power of Holy Spirit we are lead back onto the right path and can continue to preach the good news of Jesus!
i'm also going through a period of lukewarm Christianity, and it scares me, but i find peace in these two sayings: God made a way out before, and He'll do it again. if God led you to it, He's gonna lead you through it and bring you out. God bless and may God lead you back to Him. remember how the shepherd will always leave the 99 on the mountain to go after the single one that went astray. Jesus loves you ❤
That's wonderful... As for me... I don't know... I'm not against God, and yet, I don't usually go to church since I'm busy, and still too shy to share about my thoughts for God... But I'm still trying to gain bravery someday, and I still have so many questions and I prayed to God why and how... I just don't know...
I've been a lukewarm Christian for years, but I thank Jesus for He called me during difficult period where I lost my way. Now I understand that as a sinner I always need to repent and turn back to God. Thanks to His Holy Spirit who guides me to His way, I'll be able to get up and keep following Jesus. I know that our works cannot saved ourselves, but only having faith in Jesus we can be saved. Thank you Jesus for saving me 🙏❤️
I gave my life to Jesus back in 2021 but I fell into sin very hard that I was living in depression and anxiety for 3 years and I could hear the enemy telling to end my life all because I was saved (when he actually wanted to commit suicide). I didn't know what to do until I had this feeling to text my friend, who helped me with accepting Jesus as my Savior back then, on what to do and I did and she told me that Jesus loves me and He wants me to go back to Him. I was so ashamed to see His face and asked His forgiveness because I thought He doesn't want me anymore. Then I went to UA-cam and your video on "What To Do When God feels Distant" was recommended to me and I was able to go back to Him. And I've read my Bible and pray like I should've and now I found healing. And I feel joy that I never felt before. And I could feel God's presence again. I wanna thank you guys for your videos. Keep sharing God's love and Discipling people. ❤🙏
Honestly, I feel like most churches today are lukewarm. And I feel that sometimes I’m hot or cold. Hopefully I can grow stronger in faith and character in dark times.
It took me to lose everything until God restored my life and since then… my new faith is unwavering. He saved my life. I leaned on him when I exhausted all of my options and my own understanding. I believe he pulled me closer to him by taking everything away from me because I couldn’t do it myself. I learned my lesson.
I'm a 14 year-old girl and I also wanna say - this was a great video for me to watch today. I have been kinda prioritizing secular needs instead of spiritual. My brother was diagnosed with lung & leg cancer and instead of praying about it or doing anything like that I just shoved everyone away and tried to keep everything together. But now my uncle just passed away and my family was gathering and praying for him to go to heaven and I realized that I had been ignoring God for the last year and that I need to get back into reading my bible and leaning on God in my everyday journey. Thank you for reminding me that I should be focusing more on my spiritual walk with Jesus. (Btw I'm a new subscriber :)
I am really struggling with lukewarm Christianity.I am tired and i hate myself a little bit.I know God is calling me to share the Gospel at school but i don't listen,i am scared.And yes i am not so good at praying or reading the Bible.I feel like a fool. I want to quit but i can't,i know trough God ALL things are possible and i pray for deliverence and God to save me but idk i just am sad for my spiritual being because i see that it is not so good. Every prayer is welcomed and i will try this and there is NO chance that i will give up no matter what. May God bless you all and deliever you who are lukewarm christians.☦️✝️🕊️❤️
@@MarkyMarc89why is the Father always depicted as a human but the Holy Spirit isn’t when aren’t they both not human? Only Jesus is human but in most like paintings the Holy Spirit is a dove
@@vivialanis9521 I don’t have the answer to that question. I too have asked myself, _“If the Bible says that the Holy Spirit aka the Helper, New Counselor, etc. is a man why is He always pictured as a dove?”_
❤ I'm glad to know that you are giving your children the knowledge of God. So thar they will grow in faith and will rely on God in seasons of comfort and hardship for them.
I have been lukewarm. I started going to Bible study once a week and the more I'm involved in the church and around other believers, hearing their own journey and struggles, the more I learn. We pray for each other and build a friendship.
You uploaded this at just the right time for me. I have been lounging around doing nothing for the past few weeks now, and I have had this feeling that I need to get closer to God, but I never did anything about it. I have been struggling with being committed to God ever since I found Christ last year, and this advice is great. I am going to pray, read my Bible (that I haven't opened for way too long), and contact my church to find out how to get baptized now. Thank you for posting this!
I feel like I have just started to Understand What Jesus' Death means for me about a year ago. Although I still sin, instead of forgetting God's name I go straight to him for forgiveness. Although I do not do as much as I should as a Christian, I am taking it one step at a time and still try to remember God first above all else.
Small steps forward, is better than standing still or going backwards. As long as you keep going forward. Even if you fall, fall forward. Gal 5:16 says if you fulfill the desires of the spirit you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. YOU GOT THIS!!! ❤
Hi❤ I'm a very young kid who has felt the need to get closer to God, I listen to the Bible in the morning and in the night I pray every night, I used to say 5 prayers at night and I did that for months but I realised that I wasn't speaking with my heart I have stopped promoting arguments and drama in group chats etc. Yet I still feel quite distant from God I feel like he isn't answering me, so if I am frozen or a fire my answer would be that I am neither, I am in the process of making a fire, I'm walking away from evil slowly but I feel like I am not walking fast enough I feel like I should be running towards God so I ask you to help me ignite my fire to help me to run towards God and to help me to everlasting life. God bless 🙏❤
I came to this video thinking I wasn't lukewarm. I read a couple of verses in the bible a day, I pray about 4 times a day, (Either to bless my food or to talk to God), And i've been wondering if it was signs of being Lukewarm. But when I saw this video and how you mentioned my affecting of other people, I really started to wonder. Thank you for this video man, it always helps and puts a smile on my face. I pray that we can all overcome Lukewarmness, and we can truly Walk with God, no matter the hardships. In Jesus Mighty name I pray, Amen. 🙏🏼✝️😁😊😇
This is not true friend...this people dont know what they talking about...They sell you religion,because they have no other explanation... But Ill tell you this. Big majority of teachings ,like this one is pointed to those that want to be shepherds...It has nothing to do with common believer. As you see,He say they think they are rich. Rich in Gods eyes is not money rich. But wisdom,knowledge. So they think they have figure it all out,and they know all. Than He is going to tell them to buy from Him knowledge,wisdom so that they may be clothed..Because there is no other way John 6 : 45 John 10 : 1 say who does not go thought the door is no Shepard,but thief and robber. So all those ``scholars``popes,pastors included..If you learn from man,you know nothing except what they indoctrinate you with.. Mat 7:8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Opened what ? Mat 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate/door Rev 3:19 “As many as I love, I rebuke/correct and chasten/teach. Rev 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven.
I thank my Father in heaven that I found your channel. One of the questions I often ask myself is “Do I love Jesus? Is He my top priority in my life?”, and sadly, my answer often came to “No”. Honestly, even though I feel that God has led me through a lot of highs and lows, I always felt like exactly what you said, that I haven’t really done anything with my faith. It terrified me, but I’ve learned that part of that reason was because I was living in sin. I just recently had to let go of one of my old favorites because I never felt good reading it, even though it was still fun to me. It’s still hard letting go, so pray for me that I’ll be able to overcome my fleshly desires. Thanks to this video, I realize that I am more zealous for God than I gave myself credit for! I still have a lot to learn and adapt to, but just caring about what God wants for me is a good first step! I pray that whatever it is God wants me to do with my faith, that he’ll bring me to make it happen! God bless you and your crew, Impact, and good luck in Japan!❤❤❤
I’ve had a really hard time with this. I’ve been lukewarm. I pray and I read my Bible everyday but I feel like I’m getting nowhere. I try to use what I read in my Bible in my life but it’s like I forgot everything I read. I do what I don’t want to do and don’t do what I want to do. It’s so hard for me to share the Word and I even feel ashamed of it at times, like when a Christian video pops up when I’m with people I feel embarrassed and I know I shouldn’t. I pray and pray but again I feel like I’m going nowhere. It’s so frustrating and I don’t know what to do.
Young man, I say that with all due respect because I am older than you, I thank God for your obedience to Him through the work you do on this channel!!! May God continue to bless you as you bless others through your obedience to Him💜💜💜
How do you spread the Word of God to the unsaved? How do you start that conversation? I want to be on fire for God, but I feel like I keep falling short.
Me personally, I start small by asking how somebody feels about God. That's where I gradually build it from small talk, and try to delve deeper by asking about faith and if they know the Bible. I'll even throw in a few Bible verses if I can. I've always found that starting off with "Devote your life to Jesus" or something was far too rushed and pushy. Just remember that, at the very least, you should give them some insight about Jesus. But don't force them into it by suddenly telling them to serve Jesus, for it's ultimately God's job to reveal Himself to them, and it's up to the person to accept it.
Pray and ask God to share the gospel to people at the right time, and for wisdom to share it in the right way :) And that will help you to know at that time, if you need to share the gospel to a certain person/group. God can guide you to share it awesomely. Some practical tips: 1) HOW TO START: Ask if that person has a faith. He/she can talk about it if he/she has it. Then you can naturally bring up about your faith as well. When you discuss your faith, try to share the gospel *as soon as possible* so she/he can receive it. If he/she asks about other parts of the Bible, we can politely ask to explain that following the sharing of the gospel. 2) HOW TO SHARE: Remember this: GOD - MAN - CHRIST - RESPONSE. First, GOD: Share about who God is (He is a Holy God, and He created all things, including Man, plants, animals, the universe! He wished to have a loving relationship with us. ) Second, Man (The first humans God created are called Adam and Eve. God gave them everything they needed and loved them deeply. He enjoyed coming to the garden to spend time with them and even gave them dominion over all the animals. But there was an important rule God gave: “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” However, Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and this disobedience is called sin. They wanted to be Lord over God, their creator! And the punishment for sin is the curse of sin - spiritual death - guilt, shame, fear, sorrow, misery from sin and eternal suffering in hell) Third, CHRIST (But God is so merciful! So merciful that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. He gave His only Son called Jesus to be born in this world, and He lived the righteous life and deserved no death. But Jesus wanted to pay for our sins, so He died in our place, carrying all our sin and paying our punishment in full. The great news is that He also overcame all death and sin! ) Fourth, RESPONSE: (However, it's important to note there are only two responses we can take to this: acceptance or rejection. If we accept this and want to turn back from our sins, and believe that Jesus has paid for our sins and overcame all sin and death, we gain the forgiveness of sins in His sacrifice and can have everlasting life with Him! If we reject Him, then we have to be the sacrifice for our sins and suffer eternally in hell. I urge you to consider this choice carefully, and in love for you I share this, in hopes you may be saved. God loves you, brother/sister! 😁) Hope this helps! There's more you can learn about the ways to share the gospel online. GOD - MAN - CHRIST - RESPONSE is just one of them! God bless you
This is one of your best uploads. Sometimes it can sting a bit to be convicted by the Holy Spirit, but as you stated, this is what the Lord will do with someone he loves. I love also that you not only address the issue, but give multiple ways to correct yourself and get back on track. Your channel is a blessing, work and school have given me excuses to neglect my walk with Christ and this video helped me wake up out of my apathy. It will always be a challenge to not let the business of life get in the way of our relationship with Jesus but I’m encouraged to have UA-camrs like you here the share the gospel
Jesus is coming soon. Repent of your sins. Jesus is the only way. Have a relationship with God. He loves you. We are in the last days. I'm here for prayers. God bless.
@@savedbygrace609 no offense but nobody knows when he is coming back Jesus himself says he does not know when but the father does and the his return is certain and he will come back like a thief in the night. So how can you say he is coming back soon when even Jesus himself does not know. Plus we are not living in the ends times people have been saying this for decades. Things like rumors of wars have been happening for a long time . I do agree with needing to repeat that is important
We are not in the last days and nobody knows when he is coming back but that his return is certain people’s have been saying he is coming’s back soon for decades we won’t know so don’t say he is coming back soon like you know when we don’t .
my mother is lukewarm and she doesnt listen to me when i tell her being lukewarm isnt a good thing. she i proud to say that she is lukewarm. she wears inappropiate clothes, her boyfriend as well is lukewarm, she leaves and comes home the next day and when people confront her about it she tells them she is her own big woman, she's not trying to change, she has sex outside marriage, she treats me unfairly, etc. i pray that God opens her eyes and guides her down his path. i pray that he protects her, helps her realize she needs him in her life. its really hard on me especially as a 13 year old girl that doesnt really have her dad in her life and sometimes her mom but i know im going to make it through this.
I think I’ve been lukewarm for a long time and I just was too young to even care, so now that I’ve realized it, it is difficult to battle against the enemy. I feel like before I became more closer to God it was easier for the enemy to manipulate me. Now that I’m closer to God he is having to fight. Last night I committed the sin that I’ve tried to break free from the longest. It’s like my flesh is messing up my spiritual growth. I know that we’re not perfect, but to be lukewarm is not a good feeling.
I feel this so much, im young, like still in my teens but God opened my eyes one day, and i havent turned back but its been hard, i feel bad when i sin but sometimes i cant help it but i know i can do all through God who gives me strength
The lord gave you his spirit don’t be afraid, repent and confess your sin he will forgive you. Pray so the lord keeps working on you, don’t forget you are a new creature in Christ follow him.
@@GemonteMitchell-up5wgdon’t worry there always people around you that love you and want to pray for you and your relationship to God. Don’t forget we’re heavenly Family❤️
My favourite person in life is my little cousin , ethan , but i prioritise god more ! So keep in mind , Even if you have someone you love a lot , and you dont feel god is your priority remember that he is trying his best to save you from the fire of hell!
This was so beautiful and instead of the condemnation that I was feeling about being lukewarm, I am now convicted I’m going to go study the word of God. God knows how to get our attention I love Jesus and how he lovingly corrects.
This actually helps I'm a lukewarm person so now I understand what I have to do , I need to be a hot Christian and I think this was sent to me to show me that I must be better
I am a lukewarm and I really need to focus on my spiritual needs more I have really realized that if I keep on being lukewarm things get bad for me so thank you for this video it now helps me with what I need to do every single day
I was literally just thinking that I wanted a good explanation of this passage since it gets interpreted differently by many people. Your channel is such a blessing!
I love how the endings almost always ends in and remember "Jesus loves you".. ❤️ I look forward to that at the end of the videos 😊 These videos are so refreshing and heartwarming.
Thank you for this, this was so timely. I was convicted a few days ago how my faith hasn't been as active as I wanted it to be and this video helped me realize what being lukewarm is like. It hurt being convicted of this, but God disciplines those He loves and I'm now making efforts to seriously grow in my faith. God bless!
Ive been a “Christian” all my life i starterd going to church with my cousinback in 2019-mid2020 it closed for obvious reasons i havent gone back to church im trying to become closer to god and your helping me alot i really love your channel keep up the good work
Christ said to the Church of Laodicea in Revelations that they were being lukewarm. Little story: the water that came to the near cities was either hot or cold, so useful in both cases (hot for boiling food, cold for drinking). The water that came to Laodicea was lukewarm, cause it was really distant from water sources. So Jesus is basically telling to the Church of Laodicea that they were not being useful to the plan of the Lord. He would have spat em out, meaning He would declare them a church no more. Look how we are talking about a group here, a church, and NOT individuals. Cause remember, we cannot lose our salvation! (Romans 4:4-5. John 10:28. John 6:39. 2 Timothy 2:13)❤✝️ God bless
Amen brother. So many like to use this passage as proof that you can lose your salvation. But what does it go on to say? " Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.". The consequence was punishment, not loss of salvation.
Young Christian here. I found god about half a yr ago, and was feeling GREAT becoming closer w him and building a relationship. But I got into a fight w one of my close friends, and did not act in the way of the lord. I’m not proud of how I acted or what I said, so I I just hid from god for a while. But I’m finally feeling better and want to repent for what I did, and seek to live in the way of the lord again. This video rlly helped me. I love ur channel, so pls keep making videos!! 💗
thank you so much you guys help me with my bible study a lot and I learn most on your videos especially the references with the verses, explaining them makes it so much easier to understand! :)
Hey quick question if I listen to some music that isn't Gospel music but that doesn't have curses to it does it still count as seculr music ????????????? The instrumental doesn't sound bad or Demonic neither sounds normal in my opinion please someone please answer me.
Thank you for this man! I feel whenever I distract myself or choose to not focus on God and do what I desire, I lose a bit of that fire for him. And then go into a spiral of doubt and disappointment to where it’s restricting, but the second I stop and choose anything revolving around God whether it be this, worship him, go to church or talk with my family it goes away and I remember that God still loves me and understands my every intention! He’s so good to where I don’t give him enough credit!!!
It might be through symbols in a dream or through something a person says but in my experience it isn’t always “Hey, God told me to tell you this “ it’s more of like a riddle and mystery that you eventually pick up on
@@get2it7dreams are the most delusionnal thing ever. I dreamed last night about Mar Mari Emmanuel. The reason why I know this is all bs is because he still had his two eyes 😂
I love your videos you really opened my eyes and answered questions I had about Christianity for a while which is why I have a couple questions to asked for for your insight if you want to answer them
“Being lukewarm is not a feeling, but a choice you are making.” Wow that helped me. I realized from this video that Jesus wasn’t saying this to punish His believers but prepare them and correct them because the times that those churches reflected also reflect this time now. We are in the Last Days of the Last Days or End Times, and God is preparing His believers to be a witness and carry the poured out power that the Spirit has given us! This video was so awesome and I see the gift of teaching shine and absolutely shine from you. God bless you and thank you for your Holy Spirit fired teaching.
So then I'm lukewarm..? When I started to walk in God I changed a lot and actually tried to tell my testimony and show love to ppl around me, I know that's good bc it's how I started to follow Jesus and leave abomination but, I'm still not ready to preach, I try telling my testimony of God's work in me but I'm just.. Not ready to preach yet, I'm trying to help a Muslim friend I got to see how Jesus actually is, same with my brother when my mother brings godly theme up, etc, I just dunno yet, but if I'm lukewarm then I gotta try harder to please God.
preaching isnt for me too, i tried sharing with my mom and my words gets jumbled everytime, its frustrating... now i found a way i can share God's words and its that every time i post my artworks online i always attach scriptures...
What I am trying to do is just live like Jesus without telling them just yet why I am how I am so that they can figure out for themselves why I’m this way or trying to be like Jesus because if you make a mistake that person might see you as fake Christian.
I don't feel conviction from this, nor do I feel cold. I been talking to God daily and doing devotional everyday. The only problem I have is reading (let alone studying) the Bible because I have a learning disability and it is so hard to read and remember what I read. I try so hard and so I kind of got discouraged and so been avoiding reading the Bible. Been talking to God about this and having faith He will help me understand the Bible by His spirit.
Oh hey! Me too! I’m 26, not that age matters here but I too have a learning disability. Was never much focused and had a hard time in school specifically around math and sciences. It was more of an IEP but I guess that counts for having a learning disability. I don’t feel convicted from this but I also noticed that there are good tools here for me to use to further grow and improve my spiritual self. I’ve recently come back to the Lord a couple months ago after decades of being lukewarm so I feel like I definitely know what lukewarm is. But yes in agreement with the Holy Spirit being the teacher. Couldn’t ask for a better one.
@@chloesept17 I'm 27 years old. I just doubt most of the time if I have holy spirit because I rarely feel conviction and holy spirit doesn't talk to me like He used to. 😭 I also haven't been hearing from God in awhile. I don't know what to do.
@@LambChild77 what have you been doing to grow closer to God? I can tell a story that had happened to me at work. I was really under a lot of self doubt and fear and worry about having done something wrong or offensive to God or if I had grieved the Holy Spirit. But as I was sitting at a table on a break. I saw these two trash cans and the windows reflective glass and while the cans had read "trash." which allied to how I was feeling, I noticed that the windows reflected the word "heart." (due to the weird font the cans had) and I realized, by that little message God left for me was that even though I feel like trash and am burdened by so much garbage and when I felt bad about something, God knows my heart. He knows my intentions behind every action. It does suck, and it's hard and it will always be hard. But through suffering, there is knowing that that suffering won't last forever. I have been focused on my spiritual growth. Surrounding myself with friends of the same faith who are on fire for God, taking prayer walks and just talking to God in my head or writing letters to Him about my day and dating them so I can go back to see just how far I've gotten. When you feel distant to God, it's because Satan is putting distraction after distraction after distraction onto your path. Maybe, what you need, is to start one of these habits whether it's reading the bible daily, writing a letter or walking, or finding friends who are on fire for God to help you grow. It's all in His power. And, perhaps this is a spiritual attack you are facing. Maybe you are in a season that God has you in and the devil is terrified of it because he knows that you will become something stronger. Just like how it is with learning how to ride a bike. It's scary, we don't know how it works yet, and we lose our balance and fall, scraping our knees and then we don't want to do it anymore because it hurts and it's frustrating. But, God is our father. If we allow Him, he will run to us, pick us up and clean our wounds and encourage us to try again. It's new. It's scary, there are no training wheels. But when we fall, we just get right back up again because we have that mercy. I recommend reading Romans 7 and Psalm 23.
I am sad about my self and kinda insecure , i hate it when i get shamed , and i kinda just feel sad from the inside . But i still have faith and i hope the sadness will fade , it is working ! So keep your head high and have faith!
I've been concerned of the passage 'I never knew you'. Genuinely petitioned in prayer for Jesus to not only take the wheel but the whole vehicle. I do recognize I need to get back into my daily reading, despite the constant work load. But I have to testify that he has been taking the wheel and leading me in places that allow me to share my faith around those confused or angry. While maintaining those relationships for further exposure.
Weather we think we are luke warm or on fire the truth is we could always use more time in prayer and in good works to glorfy God. Even if you feel like youre giving all of yourself, give more. Study more, pray more. Just my opinions though.
I just want to cry after watching this.. I have strong faith in Jesus, but I don't feel like I do anything much. I don't influence my friends, and every time I look at my bible, I tell myself I'll read later, then I never do.. This is so refreshing and inspirational, I really wanna cry
The only thing that matters, is accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. Better to be hot, warm or cold and believe, than not accepting the gospel. Jesus died for all sins. We have eternal life. Amen
I have this feeling, that god is not with me. And I have a feeling that, I'm not happy to go to church anymore and do cell group, I can't feel my Holy Spirit. Am I a Luke warm? I Don't want to be a Luke warm 😢
God is always with you read this verse Psalms 16:8 NLT - I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. The devil will continue to try to make you think god is not with you, don’t listen to the lies of the devil. My friend god is always with you, just trust him meaning to give everything to him and not worry . Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). God is working and has a plan for you life so trust him. Repent, trust Jesus, follow his word, don’t listen to the lies of the devil, follow the word, flee from the devil and draw near to god. Be happy to go to church and worship god truly from the heart and watch your life change. Jesus loves you man God bless❤
I had the same feeling brother, let me say this: God is with you all the time like the ppl already said. Your temperature might change for time for time, but lukewarm is not longing for Jesus no more. Long for that relationship keep that conversation alive, Cause that’s what he wants. God loves you so much he won’t leave you alone. All my life he was with me and there were a lot of times where I tried ho get away from him. But NO he didn’t let go of me cause he knew he loves me and that I love him. Every battle I face is just to get me closer to him, to understand his grace and love is all we need. You’re blessed in the name of Jesus Christ. Don’t let your prayers sink on the floor, raise ‚em up and praise the almighty lord. I speak life and prosperity into your life. You will not fail cause you have Jesus and God by your side
I find it fascinating that people say that god is with them everywhere and everytime. So much so that everything that is remotely interesting would immediately be assimilated with him. I dunno who are the geniuses who made the bible, but they sure are machiavellians
I may not go to church every sunday, I may not read the bible every day, but I accept God, and he has chnaged me for the better. He has given me so much and this is my payment, even though its not enough. He has made me better and happier.
Being Lukewarm means to believe we are ‘Sinners saved by Grace’. We are either Sinners or we are Saved, but we cannot serve two Masters at the same time!
Wow this really helped me out. I used to judge myself and others for being lukewarm and even referenced that scripture a lot. Thank you for opening my eyes and not letting me get judgmental. Being judgmental isn’t going to bring about the faith you’d like for people to start moving in!
i admit I have been a lukewarm Christian. i have been lazy to talk to God, and sometimes abusing his gracefulness. sometimes I also have trouble believing that Jesus loves me and wants me to try, which is a big reason of why I have been lukewarm. i pray that I get better. I also understand that God wants me to find my way on my own.
2:25 I can't tell you how much I love geography, especially Biblical geography. And yes, I struggle with lukewarmness, because I give up easily. Please pray for me, brothers and sisters in the Lord. And God _bless_ your ministry extensively, IVM! Amen!
Thanks Impact! I was feeling lukewarm for a while now and I am very grateful that you made this video to grow in our faith. I pray that your ministry will continue to do the work of God and change the spiritual lives of believers. God bless you Impact 😀
Praise God for this mesage, it was very encouraging to All christians, who are 50/50 in their faith, we must all repent in Truth and Do Gods will in spirit and truth.❤❤❤
I’ve been struggling with my discipline for God lately. Just now I was trying to read the Bible, but I couldn’t get myself to do it, so I opened UA-cam and this was the first thing I saw! I love these small little incidents that happen cause it just shows me that God sees my struggles and he wants to help!
absolutely love it. I love your channel man, and spreading the word to help better our brothers and sisters, regardless of how near or far they are from god is a great thing to do.
This video did hit me cause now I know what actually a lukewarm Christian is and what Jesus knocking on the door actually means, I am by far not the best at doing something with my faith, all I do was just reading the Bible everyday hoping doing that would change to a better person. Now I know that not doing something like sharing what God has told me to others is what I"m lacking, so thank you for this video. And I wanna share this scripture that hopefully may help you guys Proverbs 18:21 "The tougue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit"
I really needed this video. Lately, I've been feeling doubtful because I felt like my connection with God was getting weaker and I was starting to doubt my connection. But thanks to this video I now feel hopeful and know what my next steps should be for my path to Christ.
I remember at one point in time I would be considered lukewarm, my spiritual needs were not being satisfied in the church I went to, and I honestly felt very lost in all of this. Through my brother's ex-girlfriend, I had my eyes opened to the stance that Catholics are doing, and I left that church behind. I remember I had once dreamt of hearing someone telling me about the verses in Revolution regarding lukewarm believers. When I read this passage, it opened my eyes to my stance on my faith. I decided to read the Bible in full for the entirety of 2023 as a New Year's resolution and finished it in one year. My spiritual growth took place during that year where I read God's laws and statutes, what was deemed holy and what was deemed a sin, and I feel my stance is on fire as a believer. I'm still reading the Bible as a way to continue my spiritual growth, after doing it the first time, I can't see myself not reading the Bible. There are things I understand now that this world is living in rebellion, especially during last month's "pride month," but I'm calling out the sin as it should be called out, not celebrating it or anything like what has been going on.
Your videos are always so impactful to my life and I feel as though are a tool God has used you for to help me and others through our walk with God. This one video showed up at the perfect moment really opening my eyes I guess you can say to where I'm at right now. Thank you for pursuing your faith in God and all glory to the Father. Ty for your videos.
Thank you so much for this video, your videos have inspired me more than any other video. Because of you I’m planning on encouraging my sister to pray and praise more, for she is lukewarm. God loves you.
brother, it was a long time, and I started to be a lukewarm and felt so empty because we couldn't do anything without God. Thank you for useful remainder it's helped me 🙏
Always thought that lukewarm simply meant that someone only tries follow God's commandments to get to heaven and not to actually build a relationship with Him, but this interpretation is definitely interesting. It provided a detailed answer that actually made me put it into consideration. The Bible DID tell us to set ourselves apart to be holy... Thanks so much, Impact Video Ministries. You're the reason this whole journey in my walk with God started.
Amen! Needed this thank you so much God bless you and you all and your family and friends! Have a blessed day!! God loves you all and know your not alone God is with you and knows your heart. 🙏🏽❤️❤️
Room temp Christian here! I do my Bible study, pray, go to church.
But I work in an office all day.
So this Saturday I'm volunteering! I'm helping at a store
I'm gonna let my light shine so everyone can see the glory of God!
May God bless this day for you!
@@coffeebux You can work in an office and not be lukewarm. We must be ready to share the Gospel, love others at all times and be ready for Jesus to use us. He has us planted everywhere 💕
I respect the honest brother and even better you've got a plan to improve it. I feel an inspiration to donate some time next weekend. Soup kitchen, we've got one of those. Anyways good for you man. God bless you.
AMEN!!!
Get it ! Be aggressive
I always watch these “are you a lukewarm Christian?” Vids thinking I am. But then I come to the realization that I am literally on FIRE for God! I could not be more relieved! I pray that everyone who is here turns to become an on fire child of God! ❤❤ Jesus loves you!
God Bless You ❤️🙏
If you go to church and Christians accept you, then you know you're lukewarm.
@@TheFightingSheep may I ask u to expand on what you mean by that
@@JakeAKAthat1trombonist The church has turned from following the Lord. Christians resist the Holy Spirit and follow men and men's doctrines. They can't take the truth and hate the brethren. You can't have fellowship in a Babylon church building, and have fellowship with Jesus. They're enemies of God.
@@TheFightingSheep it depends with the church you attend. my church is very open and the people are much happier when you're on FIRE for God, like singing your heart out! that's one thing. God bless you
Every time I hear the final "Jesus loves you" my eyes burst into tears.
😭
How sweet. Keep that love in your heart.
For real tho 😭
Same!
It really does hit your feels, doesn't it?
Im new to Christianity and this is really helping me, Thank you!!
I have no clue to know if i am a lukewarm Christian or not?
All God wants to do is help you
Serve God with the same passion you have in running for your charger when your phone reaches low battery.
Sorry but your PFP is making me laugh hysterically🤣
Welcome to the family!
when i saw the title i said "I am". Yes i am, and i dont wanna be proud of it! Please save me Jesus, amen!
May The Lord Jesus Christ save all he desires In Jesus’ Name Amen
It’s so good of you to recognize your own area of lukewarmness. Jesus has you, keep leaning into Him and He will help you. He loves you so much. Don’t forget it
1 John 5:14 (ESV)
"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us."
if you truly want a relationship with God, find peace in knowing that God will make it happen at the right time. it might be today, it might be tomorrow, or it might be a decent distance in the future, but if you keep that desire up, it WILL happen.
hope this helps and God bless! ❤
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽God is more than able!!!!!!!!!
Praying for you, my sibling! God loves you-- whoever comes to Him He will never drive away (John 6:37)
I was lukewarm. I then lost my wife to divorce, our 18motnh daughter taken away for 50/50 custody and I have been struggling in my loneliness and love for them. My faith is stronger than ever now and I pray for my family to be restored. Please pray with me
Lord I pray for this man, I pray you help him Lord that you will bless him like Job in the Bible I pray you bless him after all of the struggle that now his faith is stronger. We thank you for this man Lord Jesus. Amen
@@JustARandomFob amen!✝️🙏❤️
Jesus loves you so much, more than you could ever imagine, and will never forsake your nor leave you.
@@bombasticbelle thank you. I’m waiting for his mercy and love to show. I know it will, just pray my family is his plan for me. I know he cares for them as I do.
I know this is not the time for now but... Does anyone wanna become my lawyer? I have evidence of my Mom cheating and it breaks my heart and sick to my stomach whenever i read the messages... Can anyone pray for my moms downfall?
I've drifted into being lukewarm of late after being saved in January. Praise be to Christ for calling me back to passion for the Lord. Amen. ❤
I know how that feels man. I got saved a few years ago and recently i started becoming lukewarm especially after moving countries and having a tough time at school but slowly as I've made friends, I have tried to show the love of God and preach the gospel to some of my friends. For it is written “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Although the journey as a Christian is at times difficult, through God's strength and the power of Holy Spirit we are lead back onto the right path and can continue to preach the good news of Jesus!
i'm also going through a period of lukewarm Christianity, and it scares me, but i find peace in these two sayings:
God made a way out before, and He'll do it again.
if God led you to it, He's gonna lead you through it and bring you out.
God bless and may God lead you back to Him. remember how the shepherd will always leave the 99 on the mountain to go after the single one that went astray. Jesus loves you ❤
That's wonderful...
As for me... I don't know... I'm not against God, and yet, I don't usually go to church since I'm busy, and still too shy to share about my thoughts for God... But I'm still trying to gain bravery someday, and I still have so many questions and I prayed to God why and how... I just don't know...
I've been a lukewarm Christian for years, but I thank Jesus for He called me during difficult period where I lost my way.
Now I understand that as a sinner I always need to repent and turn back to God.
Thanks to His Holy Spirit who guides me to His way, I'll be able to get up and keep following Jesus.
I know that our works cannot saved ourselves, but only having faith in Jesus we can be saved.
Thank you Jesus for saving me 🙏❤️
Only Jesus. Only Jesus. ✝️⬆️❤️
Amen...
I gave my life to Jesus back in 2021 but I fell into sin very hard that I was living in depression and anxiety for 3 years and I could hear the enemy telling to end my life all because I was saved (when he actually wanted to commit suicide). I didn't know what to do until I had this feeling to text my friend, who helped me with accepting Jesus as my Savior back then, on what to do and I did and she told me that Jesus loves me and He wants me to go back to Him. I was so ashamed to see His face and asked His forgiveness because I thought He doesn't want me anymore. Then I went to UA-cam and your video on "What To Do When God feels Distant" was recommended to me and I was able to go back to Him. And I've read my Bible and pray like I should've and now I found healing. And I feel joy that I never felt before. And I could feel God's presence again.
I wanna thank you guys for your videos. Keep sharing God's love and Discipling people. ❤🙏
@@DafellaChristyChallam WOOO! KEEP GOING! Love you, from a brother in Christ
GO YOU, YOU ARE SO STRONG YES YOU GO 💜⚘️💜💜
Amen
Honestly, I feel like most churches today are lukewarm. And I feel that sometimes I’m hot or cold. Hopefully I can grow stronger in faith and character in dark times.
It took me to lose everything until God restored my life and since then… my new faith is unwavering. He saved my life. I leaned on him when I exhausted all of my options and my own understanding. I believe he pulled me closer to him by taking everything away from me because I couldn’t do it myself. I learned my lesson.
@@sadflamer23 have you heard of the book of Job? Because he went to the same thing as you did, so you’re not alone.
@@darrylbonner7208 Yes, it’s one of my fav. ❤️
I'm a 14 year-old girl and I also wanna say - this was a great video for me to watch today. I have been kinda prioritizing secular needs instead of spiritual. My brother was diagnosed with lung & leg cancer and instead of praying about it or doing anything like that I just shoved everyone away and tried to keep everything together. But now my uncle just passed away and my family was gathering and praying for him to go to heaven and I realized that I had been ignoring God for the last year and that I need to get back into reading my bible and leaning on God in my everyday journey. Thank you for reminding me that I should be focusing more on my spiritual walk with Jesus. (Btw I'm a new subscriber :)
Praying for you and your family
@@Jesuslovesyou4ever34 I appreciate that :)
🙏
I am also 14! I have the same problems too 😢
@@LolaReimann I hope you find peace with God.
I am really struggling with lukewarm Christianity.I am tired and i hate myself a little bit.I know God is calling me to share the Gospel at school but i don't listen,i am scared.And yes i am not so good at praying or reading the Bible.I feel like a fool.
I want to quit but i can't,i know trough God ALL things are possible and i pray for deliverence and God to save me but idk i just am sad for my spiritual being because i see that it is not so good.
Every prayer is welcomed and i will try this and there is NO chance that i will give up no matter what.
May God bless you all and deliever you who are lukewarm christians.☦️✝️🕊️❤️
Psalm 34:4 says, "I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears".

*Reminder:* The Holy Spirit is not an “it”. The Holy Spirit is a person who is the Spirit of God Himself.
@@MarkyMarc89 By "it" he meant the drawing, not the Holy Spirit
@@BartroxPL Oh, I must have misread the comment. Thanks for clarifying it.

I was just wondering if I was Lukewarm, then this video appeared...
God bless, thank you Impact Video Ministries. :D
God provides a way
Amen
i wanted just say:please God bless all of peaple that are lukewarm, make them change finding the rigth path!
God bless you all,please. Amen!
I have been lukewarm. I started going to Bible study once a week and the more I'm involved in the church and around other believers, hearing their own journey and struggles, the more I learn. We pray for each other and build a friendship.
The "Remember that Jesus loves you" at the end of those videos always gives me shivers. Thank you for your work, IVM Team ❤
You uploaded this at just the right time for me. I have been lounging around doing nothing for the past few weeks now, and I have had this feeling that I need to get closer to God, but I never did anything about it. I have been struggling with being committed to God ever since I found Christ last year, and this advice is great. I am going to pray, read my Bible (that I haven't opened for way too long), and contact my church to find out how to get baptized now. Thank you for posting this!
Me too, now I’m on fire for God!!
I feel like I have just started to Understand What Jesus' Death means for me about a year ago. Although I still sin, instead of forgetting God's name I go straight to him for forgiveness. Although I do not do as much as I should as a Christian, I am taking it one step at a time and still try to remember God first above all else.
Small steps forward, is better than standing still or going backwards. As long as you keep going forward. Even if you fall, fall forward. Gal 5:16 says if you fulfill the desires of the spirit you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. YOU GOT THIS!!! ❤
Amen!!!!! You are on the right track!!!! Stay anchored in the Cross of Christ 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi❤ I'm a very young kid who has felt the need to get closer to God, I listen to the Bible in the morning and in the night I pray every night, I used to say 5 prayers at night and I did that for months but I realised that I wasn't speaking with my heart I have stopped promoting arguments and drama in group chats etc. Yet I still feel quite distant from God I feel like he isn't answering me, so if I am frozen or a fire my answer would be that I am neither, I am in the process of making a fire, I'm walking away from evil slowly but I feel like I am not walking fast enough I feel like I should be running towards God so I ask you to help me ignite my fire to help me to run towards God and to help me to everlasting life. God bless 🙏❤
You got this! Fight the good fight and keep in the faith. Remeber that God loves you
@@bernadetteriohunter6520 Really appreciate it ♥️
I love spending time with Jesus and writing my journal every morning plus the Holy Spirit drawing is so cute i'm obsessed with it!🤗🕊️
Same, literally the exact same thing I do 😃
I came to this video thinking I wasn't lukewarm. I read a couple of verses in the bible a day, I pray about 4 times a day, (Either to bless my food or to talk to God), And i've been wondering if it was signs of being Lukewarm. But when I saw this video and how you mentioned my affecting of other people, I really started to wonder. Thank you for this video man, it always helps and puts a smile on my face. I pray that we can all overcome Lukewarmness, and we can truly Walk with God, no matter the hardships. In Jesus Mighty name I pray, Amen. 🙏🏼✝️😁😊😇
God has spoken to me through this video. I had no idea what a Lukewarm Christian was and now i understand i need to get closer to God.
This is not true friend...this people dont know what they talking about...They sell you religion,because they have no other explanation...
But Ill tell you this. Big majority of teachings ,like this one is pointed to those that want to be shepherds...It has nothing to do with common believer.
As you see,He say they think they are rich. Rich in Gods eyes is not money rich. But wisdom,knowledge. So they think they have figure it all out,and they know all.
Than He is going to tell them to buy from Him knowledge,wisdom so that they may be clothed..Because there is no other way John 6 : 45
John 10 : 1 say who does not go thought the door is no Shepard,but thief and robber. So all those ``scholars``popes,pastors included..If you learn from man,you know nothing except what they indoctrinate you with..
Mat 7:8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Opened what ? Mat 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate/door
Rev 3:19 “As many as I love, I rebuke/correct and chasten/teach.
Rev 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven.
I thank my Father in heaven that I found your channel. One of the questions I often ask myself is “Do I love Jesus? Is He my top priority in my life?”, and sadly, my answer often came to “No”. Honestly, even though I feel that God has led me through a lot of highs and lows, I always felt like exactly what you said, that I haven’t really done anything with my faith. It terrified me, but I’ve learned that part of that reason was because I was living in sin.
I just recently had to let go of one of my old favorites because I never felt good reading it, even though it was still fun to me. It’s still hard letting go, so pray for me that I’ll be able to overcome my fleshly desires.
Thanks to this video, I realize that I am more zealous for God than I gave myself credit for! I still have a lot to learn and adapt to, but just caring about what God wants for me is a good first step!
I pray that whatever it is God wants me to do with my faith, that he’ll bring me to make it happen! God bless you and your crew, Impact, and good luck in Japan!❤❤❤
I’ve had a really hard time with this. I’ve been lukewarm. I pray and I read my Bible everyday but I feel like I’m getting nowhere. I try to use what I read in my Bible in my life but it’s like I forgot everything I read. I do what I don’t want to do and don’t do what I want to do. It’s so hard for me to share the Word and I even feel ashamed of it at times, like when a Christian video pops up when I’m with people I feel embarrassed and I know I shouldn’t. I pray and pray but again I feel like I’m going nowhere. It’s so frustrating and I don’t know what to do.
@@julie4508 we're on the same situation, let's pray for each other, God bless us all!!
The part about “cold faith” finally makes sense!
Young man, I say that with all due respect because I am older than you, I thank God for your obedience to Him through the work you do on this channel!!! May God continue to bless you as you bless others through your obedience to Him💜💜💜
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤
How do you spread the Word of God to the unsaved? How do you start that conversation? I want to be on fire for God, but I feel like I keep falling short.
Me personally, I start small by asking how somebody feels about God. That's where I gradually build it from small talk, and try to delve deeper by asking about faith and if they know the Bible. I'll even throw in a few Bible verses if I can. I've always found that starting off with "Devote your life to Jesus" or something was far too rushed and pushy.
Just remember that, at the very least, you should give them some insight about Jesus. But don't force them into it by suddenly telling them to serve Jesus, for it's ultimately God's job to reveal Himself to them, and it's up to the person to accept it.
Pray and ask God to share the gospel to people at the right time, and for wisdom to share it in the right way :) And that will help you to know at that time, if you need to share the gospel to a certain person/group. God can guide you to share it awesomely.
Some practical tips:
1) HOW TO START: Ask if that person has a faith. He/she can talk about it if he/she has it. Then you can naturally bring up about your faith as well. When you discuss your faith, try to share the gospel *as soon as possible* so she/he can receive it. If he/she asks about other parts of the Bible, we can politely ask to explain that following the sharing of the gospel.
2) HOW TO SHARE: Remember this: GOD - MAN - CHRIST - RESPONSE. First, GOD: Share about who God is (He is a Holy God, and He created all things, including Man, plants, animals, the universe! He wished to have a loving relationship with us. ) Second, Man (The first humans God created are called Adam and Eve. God gave them everything they needed and loved them deeply. He enjoyed coming to the garden to spend time with them and even gave them dominion over all the animals. But there was an important rule God gave: “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” However, Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and this disobedience is called sin. They wanted to be Lord over God, their creator! And the punishment for sin is the curse of sin - spiritual death - guilt, shame, fear, sorrow, misery from sin and eternal suffering in hell) Third, CHRIST (But God is so merciful! So merciful that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. He gave His only Son called Jesus to be born in this world, and He lived the righteous life and deserved no death. But Jesus wanted to pay for our sins, so He died in our place, carrying all our sin and paying our punishment in full. The great news is that He also overcame all death and sin! ) Fourth, RESPONSE: (However, it's important to note there are only two responses we can take to this: acceptance or rejection. If we accept this and want to turn back from our sins, and believe that Jesus has paid for our sins and overcame all sin and death, we gain the forgiveness of sins in His sacrifice and can have everlasting life with Him! If we reject Him, then we have to be the sacrifice for our sins and suffer eternally in hell. I urge you to consider this choice carefully, and in love for you I share this, in hopes you may be saved. God loves you, brother/sister! 😁)
Hope this helps! There's more you can learn about the ways to share the gospel online. GOD - MAN - CHRIST - RESPONSE is just one of them! God bless you
This is one of your best uploads. Sometimes it can sting a bit to be convicted by the Holy Spirit, but as you stated, this is what the Lord will do with someone he loves. I love also that you not only address the issue, but give multiple ways to correct yourself and get back on track. Your channel is a blessing, work and school have given me excuses to neglect my walk with Christ and this video helped me wake up out of my apathy. It will always be a challenge to not let the business of life get in the way of our relationship with Jesus but I’m encouraged to have UA-camrs like you here the share the gospel
Jesus is coming soon. Repent of your sins. Jesus is the only way. Have a relationship with God. He loves you. We are in the last days. I'm here for prayers. God bless.
@@savedbygrace609 no offense but nobody knows when he is coming back Jesus himself says he does not know when but the father does and the his return is certain and he will come back like a thief in the night. So how can you say he is coming back soon when even Jesus himself does not know. Plus we are not living in the ends times people have been saying this for decades. Things like rumors of wars have been happening for a long time . I do agree with needing to repeat that is important
We are not in the last days and nobody knows when he is coming back but that his return is certain people’s have been saying he is coming’s back soon for decades we won’t know so don’t say he is coming back soon like you know when we don’t .
my mother is lukewarm and she doesnt listen to me when i tell her being lukewarm isnt a good thing. she i proud to say that she is lukewarm. she wears inappropiate clothes, her boyfriend as well is lukewarm, she leaves and comes home the next day and when people confront her about it she tells them she is her own big woman, she's not trying to change, she has sex outside marriage, she treats me unfairly, etc. i pray that God opens her eyes and guides her down his path. i pray that he protects her, helps her realize she needs him in her life. its really hard on me especially as a 13 year old girl that doesnt really have her dad in her life and sometimes her mom but i know im going to make it through this.
I'm really sorry about that, I pray for you and your mom, God bless ✝️💖
@@EddieNarrea God bless you too
I think I’ve been lukewarm for a long time and I just was too young to even care, so now that I’ve realized it, it is difficult to battle against the enemy. I feel like before I became more closer to God it was easier for the enemy to manipulate me. Now that I’m closer to God he is having to fight.
Last night I committed the sin that I’ve tried to break free from the longest. It’s like my flesh is messing up my spiritual growth. I know that we’re not perfect, but to be lukewarm is not a good feeling.
I feel this so much, im young, like still in my teens but God opened my eyes one day, and i havent turned back but its been hard, i feel bad when i sin but sometimes i cant help it but i know i can do all through God who gives me strength
The lord gave you his spirit don’t be afraid, repent and confess your sin he will forgive you. Pray so the lord keeps working on you, don’t forget you are a new creature in Christ follow him.

What ever you have done or are feeling its never too much for you to be forgiven if you geniunely repent.
My favourite person in life is my little cousin , ethan , but i prioritise god more ! So keep in mind , Even if you have someone you love a lot , and you dont feel god is your priority remember that he is trying his best to save you from the fire of hell!
I couldn’t sleep at night cause I was scared that my heart was not right with God but seeing this helped me with my problems, I can’t thank you enough
This was so beautiful and instead of the condemnation that I was feeling about being lukewarm, I am now convicted I’m going to go study the word of God. God knows how to get our attention I love Jesus and how he lovingly corrects.
This actually helps I'm a lukewarm person so now I understand what I have to do , I need to be a hot Christian and I think this was sent to me to show me that I must be better
0:32 ???
I am a lukewarm and I really need to focus on my spiritual needs more I have really realized that if I keep on being lukewarm things get bad for me so thank you for this video it now helps me with what I need to do every single day
God has felt kinda distant lately. This video was what I desperately needed to hear to help me get back on track, God bless you.
I was literally just thinking that I wanted a good explanation of this passage since it gets interpreted differently by many people. Your channel is such a blessing!
I love how the endings almost always ends in and remember "Jesus loves you".. ❤️ I look forward to that at the end of the videos 😊 These videos are so refreshing and heartwarming.
"With God, all things are possible. Keep believing! ✨"
Thank you for this, this was so timely. I was convicted a few days ago how my faith hasn't been as active as I wanted it to be and this video helped me realize what being lukewarm is like. It hurt being convicted of this, but God disciplines those He loves and I'm now making efforts to seriously grow in my faith. God bless!
Thank you for this video
It was amazing and one thing I've always wanted is to be with on fire Christians, that would be a blessing ❤️
Ive been a “Christian” all my life i starterd going to church with my cousinback in 2019-mid2020 it closed for obvious reasons i havent gone back to church im trying to become closer to god and your helping me alot i really love your channel keep up the good work
God bless you brother in christ 🙏.
Christ said to the Church of Laodicea in Revelations that they were being lukewarm.
Little story: the water that came to the near cities was either hot or cold, so useful in both cases (hot for boiling food, cold for drinking). The water that came to Laodicea was lukewarm, cause it was really distant from water sources.
So Jesus is basically telling to the Church of Laodicea that they were not being useful to the plan of the Lord. He would have spat em out, meaning He would declare them a church no more.
Look how we are talking about a group here, a church, and NOT individuals. Cause remember, we cannot lose our salvation! (Romans 4:4-5. John 10:28. John 6:39. 2 Timothy 2:13)❤✝️
God bless
Amen brother. So many like to use this passage as proof that you can lose your salvation. But what does it go on to say? " Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.". The consequence was punishment, not loss of salvation.
@@blackwatch4709 FR, thanks brother✝️❤️
This is really the right interpretation as it directly speaks to the people of Laodicea with their historical context.
Exactly
God bless you, Jesus be with you, may the Holy Spirit guide you further.
Young Christian here. I found god about half a yr ago, and was feeling GREAT becoming closer w him and building a relationship. But I got into a fight w one of my close friends, and did not act in the way of the lord. I’m not proud of how I acted or what I said, so I I just hid from god for a while. But I’m finally feeling better and want to repent for what I did, and seek to live in the way of the lord again. This video rlly helped me. I love ur channel, so pls keep making videos!! 💗
thank You God for Your FREE gift of salvation. please help us not to be lukewarm and help us to be totally on fire for you.
thank you so much you guys help me with my bible study a lot and I learn most on your videos especially the references with the verses, explaining them makes it so much easier to understand! :)
I love ur vids u help me so much as a Christian
Hey quick question if I listen to some music that isn't Gospel music but that doesn't have curses to it does it still count as seculr music ????????????? The instrumental doesn't sound bad or Demonic neither sounds normal in my opinion please someone please answer me.
@@gregkareem9824 Impact has a video on this, I would recommend watching it
@@gregkareem9824 Well this channel has the exact video for your question, and to summarise, no it's not wrong to listen to music that you described.
@@gregkareem9824you can watch it as long as you don't feel any bad conscience
This is such a blessing! I was feeling defeated and left feeling inspired and thankful for God's love and continued grace ❤
Thank you for this man! I feel whenever I distract myself or choose to not focus on God and do what I desire, I lose a bit of that fire for him. And then go into a spiral of doubt and disappointment to where it’s restricting, but the second I stop and choose anything revolving around God whether it be this, worship him, go to church or talk with my family it goes away and I remember that God still loves me and understands my every intention! He’s so good to where I don’t give him enough credit!!!
I wish I knew how to actually hear God… I just never do, even when I try
He talks in mysterious ways. Through dreams and visions and sometimes it’s not like how a person communicates face to face and direct.
It might be through symbols in a dream or through something a person says but in my experience it isn’t always “Hey, God told me to tell you this “ it’s more of like a riddle and mystery that you eventually pick up on
It might be through a song in the radio . You will know though when He does because it might seem like a coincidence at first
@@get2it7dreams are the most delusionnal thing ever. I dreamed last night about Mar Mari Emmanuel. The reason why I know this is all bs is because he still had his two eyes 😂
I love your videos you really opened my eyes and answered questions I had about Christianity for a while which is why I have a couple questions to asked for for your insight if you want to answer them
“Being lukewarm is not a feeling, but a choice you are making.” Wow that helped me. I realized from this video that Jesus wasn’t saying this to punish His believers but prepare them and correct them because the times that those churches reflected also reflect this time now. We are in the Last Days of the Last Days or End Times, and God is preparing His believers to be a witness and carry the poured out power that the Spirit has given us! This video was so awesome and I see the gift of teaching shine and absolutely shine from you. God bless you and thank you for your Holy Spirit fired teaching.
So then I'm lukewarm..? When I started to walk in God I changed a lot and actually tried to tell my testimony and show love to ppl around me, I know that's good bc it's how I started to follow Jesus and leave abomination but, I'm still not ready to preach, I try telling my testimony of God's work in me but I'm just.. Not ready to preach yet, I'm trying to help a Muslim friend I got to see how Jesus actually is, same with my brother when my mother brings godly theme up, etc, I just dunno yet, but if I'm lukewarm then I gotta try harder to please God.
preaching isnt for me too, i tried sharing with my mom and my words gets jumbled everytime, its frustrating... now i found a way i can share God's words and its that every time i post my artworks online i always attach scriptures...
@@playamelodythateverybodyknows that's great! And thx for the idea though, I could try it in another channel or other social media, tysm!
What I am trying to do is just live like Jesus without telling them just yet why I am how I am so that they can figure out for themselves why I’m this way or trying to be like Jesus because if you make a mistake that person might see you as fake Christian.
@@playamelodythateverybodyknowsyou can also just do it by living by example instead of “preaching” to them …for lack of better words
Leading by example is the right term
I don't feel conviction from this, nor do I feel cold. I been talking to God daily and doing devotional everyday. The only problem I have is reading (let alone studying) the Bible because I have a learning disability and it is so hard to read and remember what I read. I try so hard and so I kind of got discouraged and so been avoiding reading the Bible. Been talking to God about this and having faith He will help me understand the Bible by His spirit.
Oh hey! Me too! I’m 26, not that age matters here but I too have a learning disability. Was never much focused and had a hard time in school specifically around math and sciences. It was more of an IEP but I guess that counts for having a learning disability. I don’t feel convicted from this but I also noticed that there are good tools here for me to use to further grow and improve my spiritual self. I’ve recently come back to the Lord a couple months ago after decades of being lukewarm so I feel like I definitely know what lukewarm is. But yes in agreement with the Holy Spirit being the teacher. Couldn’t ask for a better one.
@@chloesept17 I'm 27 years old. I just doubt most of the time if I have holy spirit because I rarely feel conviction and holy spirit doesn't talk to me like He used to. 😭 I also haven't been hearing from God in awhile. I don't know what to do.
@@LambChild77 what have you been doing to grow closer to God?
I can tell a story that had happened to me at work. I was really under a lot of self doubt and fear and worry about having done something wrong or offensive to God or if I had grieved the Holy Spirit. But as I was sitting at a table on a break. I saw these two trash cans and the windows reflective glass and while the cans had read "trash." which allied to how I was feeling, I noticed that the windows reflected the word "heart." (due to the weird font the cans had) and I realized, by that little message God left for me was that even though I feel like trash and am burdened by so much garbage and when I felt bad about something, God knows my heart. He knows my intentions behind every action.
It does suck, and it's hard and it will always be hard. But through suffering, there is knowing that that suffering won't last forever. I have been focused on my spiritual growth. Surrounding myself with friends of the same faith who are on fire for God, taking prayer walks and just talking to God in my head or writing letters to Him about my day and dating them so I can go back to see just how far I've gotten. When you feel distant to God, it's because Satan is putting distraction after distraction after distraction onto your path. Maybe, what you need, is to start one of these habits whether it's reading the bible daily, writing a letter or walking, or finding friends who are on fire for God to help you grow. It's all in His power. And, perhaps this is a spiritual attack you are facing. Maybe you are in a season that God has you in and the devil is terrified of it because he knows that you will become something stronger. Just like how it is with learning how to ride a bike. It's scary, we don't know how it works yet, and we lose our balance and fall, scraping our knees and then we don't want to do it anymore because it hurts and it's frustrating. But, God is our father. If we allow Him, he will run to us, pick us up and clean our wounds and encourage us to try again. It's new. It's scary, there are no training wheels. But when we fall, we just get right back up again because we have that mercy. I recommend reading Romans 7 and Psalm 23.
I am sad about my self and kinda insecure , i hate it when i get shamed , and i kinda just feel sad from the inside . But i still have faith and i hope the sadness will fade , it is working ! So keep your head high and have faith!
I've been concerned of the passage 'I never knew you'. Genuinely petitioned in prayer for Jesus to not only take the wheel but the whole vehicle. I do recognize I need to get back into my daily reading, despite the constant work load. But I have to testify that he has been taking the wheel and leading me in places that allow me to share my faith around those confused or angry. While maintaining those relationships for further exposure.
Comment amen 🙏 🙌 👏 if you love the lord
Amen 🙏
Amen
Ty jesus loves you 🙏
Weather we think we are luke warm or on fire the truth is we could always use more time in prayer and in good works to glorfy God. Even if you feel like youre giving all of yourself, give more. Study more, pray more. Just my opinions though.
I just want to cry after watching this.. I have strong faith in Jesus, but I don't feel like I do anything much. I don't influence my friends, and every time I look at my bible, I tell myself I'll read later, then I never do.. This is so refreshing and inspirational, I really wanna cry
I love how this breaks it down and makes me fully understand everything about luck warmness 🥺
It warms my heart to have watch this today 🥺✨
The only thing that matters, is accepting the Lord Jesus Christ.
Better to be hot, warm or cold and believe, than not accepting the gospel.
Jesus died for all sins. We have eternal life. Amen
I have this feeling, that god is not with me. And I have a feeling that, I'm not happy to go to church anymore and do cell group, I can't feel my Holy Spirit. Am I a Luke warm? I Don't want to be a Luke warm 😢
Do you have any friends you used to go to church/bible groups with? Ask one of them to be your accountability partner, I think that would help🤗
If you believe, you are saved forever. Our temperatures may change, but God will never leave us. He will never leave us ! Amen
God is always with you read this verse
Psalms 16:8 NLT - I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
The devil will continue to try to make you think god is not with you, don’t listen to the lies of the devil. My friend god is always with you, just trust him meaning to give everything to him and not worry .
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).
God is working and has a plan for you life so trust him.
Repent, trust Jesus, follow his word, don’t listen to the lies of the devil, follow the word, flee from the devil and draw near to god.
Be happy to go to church and worship god truly from the heart and watch your life change.
Jesus loves you man God bless❤
I had the same feeling brother, let me say this: God is with you all the time like the ppl already said. Your temperature might change for time for time, but lukewarm is not longing for Jesus no more. Long for that relationship keep that conversation alive, Cause that’s what he wants. God loves you so much he won’t leave you alone. All my life he was with me and there were a lot of times where I tried ho get away from him. But NO he didn’t let go of me cause he knew he loves me and that I love him. Every battle I face is just to get me closer to him, to understand his grace and love is all we need. You’re blessed in the name of Jesus Christ. Don’t let your prayers sink on the floor, raise ‚em up and praise the almighty lord. I speak life and prosperity into your life. You will not fail cause you have Jesus and God by your side
I find it fascinating that people say that god is with them everywhere and everytime. So much so that everything that is remotely interesting would immediately be assimilated with him. I dunno who are the geniuses who made the bible, but they sure are machiavellians
I may not go to church every sunday, I may not read the bible every day, but I accept God, and he has chnaged me for the better. He has given me so much and this is my payment, even though its not enough. He has made me better and happier.
Saturday
All glory to Almighty and Lovley Lord Jesus Christ Halleluyah Amen🙏🙏
Being Lukewarm means to believe we are ‘Sinners saved by Grace’. We are either Sinners or we are Saved, but we cannot serve two Masters at the same time!
So, you are saying that you are sinless? Maybe perfect in all your ways ?
I dont think everyone whos saved is completely sinless
I just looked this topic up a few days ago, specifically wanting to see a video about it from this channel, and now here it is… Amazing
Thank you brother😊 God will bless you 🙏
wow...i just prayed about understanding what laying up your treasures in heaven and this pops up PTL!!!!
Wow this really helped me out. I used to judge myself and others for being lukewarm and even referenced that scripture a lot. Thank you for opening my eyes and not letting me get judgmental.
Being judgmental isn’t going to bring about the faith you’d like for people to start moving in!
I think you seriously helped me find the answer to why I wasn't growing in God...
i admit I have been a lukewarm Christian. i have been lazy to talk to God, and sometimes abusing his gracefulness. sometimes I also have trouble believing that Jesus loves me and wants me to try, which is a big reason of why I have been lukewarm. i pray that I get better. I also understand that God wants me to find my way on my own.
Thank you so much for making this video! May the Lord bless you and keep you!
Jesus is the LORD I Love You Holy Spirit I Love You Father I Love You Jesus Jesus is the LORD
2:25 I can't tell you how much I love geography, especially Biblical geography. And yes, I struggle with lukewarmness, because I give up easily. Please pray for me, brothers and sisters in the Lord.
And God _bless_ your ministry extensively, IVM! Amen!
Thanks Impact! I was feeling lukewarm for a while now and I am very grateful that you made this video to grow in our faith. I pray that your ministry will continue to do the work of God and change the spiritual lives of believers. God bless you Impact 😀
Praise God for this mesage, it was very encouraging to All christians, who are 50/50 in their faith, we must all repent in Truth and Do Gods will in spirit and truth.❤❤❤
I’ve been struggling with my discipline for God lately. Just now I was trying to read the Bible, but I couldn’t get myself to do it, so I opened UA-cam and this was the first thing I saw! I love these small little incidents that happen cause it just shows me that God sees my struggles and he wants to help!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS!! thank Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour!!!
Thank you for this ❤❤❤
absolutely love it. I love your channel man, and spreading the word to help better our brothers and sisters, regardless of how near or far they are from god is a great thing to do.
This video did hit me cause now I know what actually a lukewarm Christian is and what Jesus knocking on the door actually means, I am by far not the best at doing something with my faith, all I do was just reading the Bible everyday hoping doing that would change to a better person. Now I know that not doing something like sharing what God has told me to others is what I"m lacking, so thank you for this video. And I wanna share this scripture that hopefully may help you guys Proverbs 18:21 "The tougue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit"
Amen you will be blessed!
Amen 🙏 thank you so so much Lord Jesus Christ for all that you have done/yet to do!! 😊
I really needed this video. Lately, I've been feeling doubtful because I felt like my connection with God was getting weaker and I was starting to doubt my connection. But thanks to this video I now feel hopeful and know what my next steps should be for my path to Christ.
Amen
Ty
I remember at one point in time I would be considered lukewarm, my spiritual needs were not being satisfied in the church I went to, and I honestly felt very lost in all of this. Through my brother's ex-girlfriend, I had my eyes opened to the stance that Catholics are doing, and I left that church behind. I remember I had once dreamt of hearing someone telling me about the verses in Revolution regarding lukewarm believers. When I read this passage, it opened my eyes to my stance on my faith. I decided to read the Bible in full for the entirety of 2023 as a New Year's resolution and finished it in one year. My spiritual growth took place during that year where I read God's laws and statutes, what was deemed holy and what was deemed a sin, and I feel my stance is on fire as a believer. I'm still reading the Bible as a way to continue my spiritual growth, after doing it the first time, I can't see myself not reading the Bible. There are things I understand now that this world is living in rebellion, especially during last month's "pride month," but I'm calling out the sin as it should be called out, not celebrating it or anything like what has been going on.
Your videos are always so impactful to my life and I feel as though are a tool God has used you for to help me and others through our walk with God. This one video showed up at the perfect moment really opening my eyes I guess you can say to where I'm at right now. Thank you for pursuing your faith in God and all glory to the Father. Ty for your videos.
Thank you! This is the message I needed!
Thank you so much for this video, your videos have inspired me more than any other video. Because of you I’m planning on encouraging my sister to pray and praise more, for she is lukewarm. God loves you.
brother, it was a long time, and I started to be a lukewarm and felt so empty because we couldn't do anything without God. Thank you for useful remainder it's helped me 🙏
Always thought that lukewarm simply meant that someone only tries follow God's commandments to get to heaven and not to actually build a relationship with Him, but this interpretation is definitely interesting. It provided a detailed answer that actually made me put it into consideration. The Bible DID tell us to set ourselves apart to be holy...
Thanks so much, Impact Video Ministries. You're the reason this whole journey in my walk with God started.
Amen! Needed this thank you so much God bless you and you all and your family and friends! Have a blessed day!! God loves you all and know your not alone God is with you and knows your heart. 🙏🏽❤️❤️
Thank you for this. To God be the glory!
Thank you... just thank you
