    I performed this poem for the first time Jan 11th live at For The King's "Lights Out" event. Because it was my first time I was a little rusty on the delivery. Be looking for a produced poem of this poem (the way we film our other ones) in the next few months! Also be looking for the next Lights Out event in April.Get my audibook FREE here: www.jeffbethke.... my audibook FREE here: www.jeffbethke.... my audibook FREE here: www.jeffbethke....

    "How dare you call yourself worthless when god says you're priceless"
    That's just marvellous!

    I am so impressed by the gift God gave you Jeff. I am 60 years young and after years of listening to all kinds of people trying to communicate the true without any spin, you seem to have mastered what the Master wanted you to say. I've been sharing your great videos with all of my under fifty crowd hoping they are a little bit inspirted by what God is sharing through your special gift. Keep up the good WORK!

  • @LarissaLeeWordpress
    @LarissaLeeWordpress 11 років тому

    As a non-Christian, I'd like to say you (and others like you) are proof that your God is great. Sometimes, in the sea of angry Christians looking for a scapegoat and pointing fingers, it's hard to remember how beautiful His path can truly be. I look forward to future videos.

  • @prajgoodwin
    @prajgoodwin 11 років тому

    As a youth pastor, I use your videos all the time. Its a great way to bring God's word to youth. Makes.it come alive to then on a different level than just hearing a message or a devotion. There is definitely an anointing on you and your ministry. Keep it up Jeff.

    No one can ever prove the existence of God but life being transformed by God is evident. People who are born into violent environment. Born to do evil. Their hearts can be changed by the grace, peace and love of God if they are willing to let Him.

    I believe in God because He gave both my paents second chance to live. My dad was in the hospital for 3 months and on the verge of death because of Bronchitis, but God saved him. My mother was diagnosed with a tumor on her head, but because of God's mercy it was removed, my parents are healthier as ever now. If it wasnt because of God,I wouldnt have gotten to go to college this Fall, have a roof over my head, and have blessings. He loves you and all of us like no one else. HE LOVES YOU! :D

  • @amoore1004
    @amoore1004 11 років тому

    Yes! I'm so glad you commented that because I've thought the same thing. What's their goal? I want to tell them "Go live your life without hope or faith in anything but yourself and leave those WITH the faith, truth, and hope, alone!" I don't understand these people but it's really disheartening and appalls me that so many people stir up debate over EVERYTHING from the picture of an ocean to the color of the sky. Sickening. But what they don't realize is that they are dark and miserable.

    He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory. He demonstrated this power in the Messiah by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavens far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

    @MomotarosSWORD 11 років тому

    When we fear or worry we need an unfailing peace and assurance and promises we can count on. God doesn't exist because we created Him, we are created because He exists. You see God can be anything that we put supreme (money, partner, boss). But all those things fail too easily, if we put our all on them and they fail, we fail.

  • @grantyoder5266
    @grantyoder5266 11 років тому

    Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens. For He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to His favor and will, the praise of His glorious grace that He favored us with in the Beloved.

    Because I feel a kind of warmness while talking, singing or praying to God. And, I know it's hard to understand and believe, but somehow I just FEEL it's the truth. The emptiness, this void inside I've been trying to fill for months, overflowed when I gave God control! Just try to talk to God, He's eager to give you the same feeling!

    I spent many years of my life "believing" in God, but the reality was I had devoted my self to dream and that dream tried to become reality. I really wish there was a god, I would prefer it to be that way. I became a much more open and happy person once I left faith and haven't looked back

    We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure that He planned in Him for the administration of the days of fulfillment to bring everything together in the Messiah, both things in heaven and things on earth in Him.

    I'm a Wiccan, but my beliefs fit those presented in "Stranger in a Strange Land" (book). All paths are valid only within their own structure, but souls are fluid and able to pass from one to another. In other words, I believe in the Christian God, but I also believe that my path is my own to walk.

    We have also received an inheritance in Him, predestined according to the purpose of the One who works out everything in agreement with the decision of His will, so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory. When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
