Share one decision you made this week.
No choices made so far. Won't somebody help me!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hawayu Life Church & I Want 2 Say Honestly I Have Made a Decision That I Want 2 Be Diligent & Honest With Myself, My Friends, My Family & at My Workplace & God Bless Yu Life Church So Very Much.🙏
My pre-decision? I'm never going to the bathroom with my phone.
I decided not to drink with the other soldiers, because I know it can get out of hand.
Got off Amazon buying
I am ready to follow Jesus. My wife left me because I was so terrible to her and to myself. It broke me in half. And I'm tired of being a slave to my sin. To my anger. To my lust. I'm tired of being a slave to the devil. I give you my life oh Lord.

I am a Jew but have come to know that Jesus is the son of God...even though my people still don't recognize Jesus there is a remnant of us who are saved by faith in Him
We're so glad you're here with us, James!

Genesis 39:11 is completely overlooked. Joseph went into the house knowing there were no other men or workers of the house there. He was alone with Potiphar’s wife. Message: don’t put yourself in that situation thinking you can overcome the temptation! He did get out but with great consequence!
👍🏾
Help me be reqdy
Thank you Pastor for your video message talk. Praise God a real good message the wonderful truths and promises of God's word Amen. Real good Godly advice in the Lord Jesus Christ .God bless you Amen.
Good point my Brother !
But you have to understand Joseph situation he had not choice to be there in that place . It was his duty sadly he was a slave . .. but we can apply the same action he did he flee from temptation . A run 🏃 out of there before is to late
@@Im_A_miracle my point is he could have taken someone with him, spoken up about it, or not gone in at all by doing other work around the house. He was not forced to be alone with her. He didn’t purposefully find a way out of being alone with her. That is a big problem with men - married or not. If you see a sticky situation, pray about it and seek a way out. God will help you get out of temptation.
*Brothers & sisters in Christ never stop praying!Never stop believing!Never give up!Your miracle is on the way!Pray without ceasing!*
Amen!●●●●

this!!! need this right now
I do love the encouraging vibe of this comment, but like... Idk I don't think it's right for us to say stuff like "Your miracle is on the way" when we ultimately don't know. We ultimately aren't God and don't have that say of whether or not a miracle is coming our way. I think that's gonna leave a lot of people disappointed in the end. Nonetheless have a good day.
I am ready to follow Jesus. Fill me with your Holy Spirit..

I’m praying for you sister
Yay! Streamers! Balloons!
YES Staci!!!
GOD BLESS YOU. YOU HAVE MADE THE BEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE! AMEN!
Thank you😢 I needed this. I have private sins, I am not involved with any guys... but I sin alone. I feel guilty because I was consistent in praying and reading the gospel. Truly the devil is gonna come to destroy us, but my God is greater so I will move the line away from sins, I will pre-decide, and ask the Father to make me ready. 🥺😢
I am ready to follow Jesus and follow HIM!

Tamala-Psalms 37:3 Trust God & Do Good
As a Catholic, I find your videos refreshing, I am a retired Navy Vet, I live in Tampa, single, never married (I am still trying to figure that out), temptation sucks. I know that God watches over me daily and answers my prayers, for me, I pray every day that God will bring someone special into my life because when I am alone that is when I am the weakest, I know that God is with me, I just yearn to have a GF that would turn into something more. I will continue to pray and hopefully it will happen.
🙏🏽🔥
Help me be ready Lord
🙏🏽
Help me be ready Lord for you are all I need my God so that your name can be glorified and not ourselves but you in Jesus name
Pastor Craig I honestly believe listening to the word of god through you saved my life. God gave you an amazing ability to deliver his message.
🙏❤️
God bless Life.Church
I’m ready to follow to Jesus❤️
Jesus never sugar-coated anything. Whe have to say it like it is, and we need to hear it like it is. Thank you Pastor.

A decision I made this week is to do what’s best for me rather than people pleasing & to also not be so critical of myself or others💯 Awesome message as always, Pastor Craig👏🏾
👍🏾🔥
Amen!🌷🌷🌼💐
I am ready to follow Jesus
🙌
Thank you for this sermon.
It touched me greatly and gave me a lot to think about
Pastor is so so right about our tendency to overestimate how strong we are at resisting sin / temptation. No amount of willpower or relying on your own strength will work. We are not strong enough to do it consistently. Only the power of God can! Striving to live by the example of Jesus and walk in wisdom regarding temptation. If the enemy uses strategy on believers, we should also live strategically 🙏🏾 God bless you all
Don't use your disappointments...period!👊👊👊👊
@@melaniemartin4319 amen! 🙏🏾
♥️
@@life.church bless y’all ❤️
"People tend to overestimate their ability to resist temptation" I'm a living proof to that. I need God's help a LOT
Temptation is BAD...period!👹👹👹
🙏
"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). Like Pastor Craig said, push that line further back than the one at the edge, then PRAY, PRAY, & PRAY some more.
I’m ready to follow Jesus.

I learned so much today..thank God for your life Pastor Craig. Deciding is so difficult for me.now I learned a very important thing I can use for a lifetime 😇

Amen, what a Perfectly timed sermon.
Just today this morning I woke up with the words “better is a good name than riches” in my mind, I know it’s no coincidence and that God used UA-cam to recommend me this video, I thank Jesus for his Faithfulness. He is Good, He is Good.
Amen.
Now I have started draw lines to keep me out of struggles.
I thank Jesus that although I am not worthy, He by grace in faith am I Saved.
