I need prayers, I’m starting to go through the seasons of getting bored, and I truly hate it when I get this way because I start to get to a point where I’m not touching my Bible and it sometimes last for a year to two years, please pray that I stay focused on Christ! Thank you and God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ!
Bobby Dillashaw You need encouragement. Do you go to church? Do you have anyone to study with? The bible says its important for us to go to church and to meet with one another to encourage and stir each other up in our faith. Meeting with other Christians regularly is helpful and prayer helps too. Ask God to guide you in His word and make it a habit every morning or evening, I started off by giving thanks during dinner time, it may sound small and you may think that it does nothing but I tell you the truth, the enemy doesn't like it. He doesn't want you giving thanks and praise and glory to God period. I hadn't come to realise the power of prayer until I had decided to make this a daily thing. I noticed over time after i had made this decision to give thanks EVERY night to God. One day i had finished work, pretty much ate nothing all day and i was hungry and i was thinking about what to eat for dinner and then out of nowhere my appetite just went and I didn't understand why. Just out of nowhere it was like something said to me, "I don't want to eat dinner". I knew that this was the enemy not wanting me to eat cos he knew I was going to give thanks to the lord and the food i was about to eat was blessed. That's the thing, he knew what I was about to do because I made this a daily habit. Its almost like its torcherous for the enemy to hear you praising god. So after that i decided to start giving thanks during breakfast as well lol little by little you start spreading Gods word into other areas of your life and applying it daily. I started praying for all kinds of stuff mostly guidance through Gods word. Then I started reading my bible and meditating on Gods word. So what I'm trying to say is, it may seem like a small thing to do to give thanks over dinnertime and it may seem like it doesn't do anything. The devil is a liar. So I encourage you to start with prayer. Start praying every morning, everyday and watch different sermons on UA-cam as well. TD Jakes really helped me. His sermons I found are really encouraging. There's tonnes of them online. Anyway, I hope this helps you, I pray God guides in His word the way that He has with me in Jesus name. My walk with Him its still early days, but I've received so much from Him so far. Its just revelation after revelation, its awesome! Anyway god bless :)
Mel Mel haven’t found a church yet but there is one I recently checked out, I’m just in awe of the churches out here, they are huge which is one of the things that keeping me from going, just not use to gigantic churches, I feel uncomfortable I guess you could say, but as for praying, that’s been a part of my life for many years, I even got the kids knowing before I sit down that they wait to pray before eating 😀, also I don’t know anyone out here yet. But yes, when I used to do bible study with my friends, I was consistent and had the support I needed, thanks for your reply brother, you are right, I need a church home!
@@bobdillashaw4360 Its been 4 months now. Have you tried out some churches? If not maybe try thinking about it in this way: If you are nervous and uncomfortable I think that's completley fine. It will mean that much more in the eyes of God that you do it. I think the strongest faith is when you do things that are difficult in the name of God. That's my opinion on it. I am very new to christianity but give it a shot. What could go wrong!? Btw I had expected to go to church by myself for the first time last Sunday. I had only went one other time years ago with my mom. When I woke up Sunday morning I was feeling a little under the weather and decided not to. Partially that was the reason why I didnt go but a big reason was I was intimidated. I knew the opening hours started at 800am as the website said but for the exact sermons it was vague. Just before 12:00pm I felt much better and was on my way to the mall. I decided I needed to go at least drop by and ask someone there the exact times so next time I was prepared. I went there and the doors were locked. It was sort of a strange feeling like I missed out. Someone drove by and stopped. Really friendly man who answered a couple of questions I had. Now next Sunday I'm more prepared. How about dropping by not to attend a service but to get the times of sermon. That way it wont feel like you're diving head first in an ocean but dipping your toes in a pool lol
Hi, Bob! Big churches can be very intimidating-I know! Join a community group/sometimes called homegroup at your church. You'll be hanging out every week with 5 or more Christians and discussing the Word and praying for each other etc. I wouldn't even call going to church on Sundays even being part of that church, especially if it's a big church. Once you've joined a homegroup, you can start exploring how you can serve 😊
Brother Allen Park knows the Word and there are people on UA-cam whose eyes are being opened, ears are being opened, and they're now walking in the Word of God.
I really enjoyed this series. I've been born again for many years. There really isn't anything mentioned that I haven't been doing already. However, I have to confess, over the years, I have experienced a dry time when studying the bible. I have asked the Lord to reignite the passion i once had, restore my hunger for him. Be honest with God. He really does understand our weakness.
I've been there Cindy. I truly have. However, it's great when God ignites that flame once again inside of us. I hope and pray He does it for you. Blessings,
I want to be honest and say level 6, but only because of the glory of God. He is amazing and continues to help us deepen our relationship with Him, Halleluyah!
I have been a Christian my whole life(I am 38), very lukewarm for the past 24 years. I have always loved and believed in God, I feel like I have been saved about 2 weeks ago. I am still trying to play catch up on the bible and the word of God. I feel like I am about a 2 or close to 3.

@@thebeatagp I have been inspired to accept, read, research, recall, and respond to the word of God by your UA-cam videos. I have been praying for God to give me wisdom and understanding and I thank the Lord everyday. May God Bless You and your UA-cam channel.
God has been having me listen to 1 John constantly for weeks and all the times that the verses have come up into situations in my family lately is amazing. Great video, brother.
This series is helping me so much! I especially like the teaching on the armor of God; never understood it before. Also, the teaching about salvation, if we are convicted of sin, if we want to please God, etc, are signs we are saved. I know I am saved but have been struggling with doubt recently. Not doubt in God, doubt in my sincerity. This series has helped me see that, though not perfect, I am on the right track. Such a relief and freedom that comes with that. God bless you brother Allen and may you never leave your UA-cam channel, you are helping me and others so much.
Amazing series! Thank you! I’m under major spiritual attack at the moment and you have given me so much to use! Glory to God! I pray blessings on you and your family 🙏
Those who are still in level 1, I advised you to listen intently to the bible teacher or speaker. Don't jot down what they are teaching nor copy what they are writing, just listen carefully and intently. If what they are teaching is genuine then the Holy Spirit will remind you when you need it on the spot. As a Sunday school teacher for 12 years, I had observed that those who listen intently are more advance than those who are copying or jotting down what has been taught. This experienced of mine was backed up by a scripture: Romans 10:17, " Faith comes by hearing the word of God.." not by writing or jotting down.
josiah nissi Depends. I am not an auditory learner. I am visual and kinesthetic. Which means I learn by reading and doing. Taking notes helps me remember what I hear because I’m moving my hand and reading as I write. Not everyone learns the same way.
Fanci McGuffin Yeah, very well if you are stereo minded then that's it. But most men are monominded, means they can only concentrate to one direction. It's either to write or listen. Of course I can't memorize every speaker says but as long as I can receive the life of their teaching then that's it. I can only remember when I need it. I tried jotting down when I'm a new convert. I can study my notes later and teach it but it has no life already. That's when God showed me scripture in my dream (Romans 10:17). From then on I just listen intently and accurately. Maybe in your case it's different, you are a good administrator or manager if you can do 2 different things at the same time with your body.
I finally got my bible dictionary Allen! I can soon start back on your bible study that I was so grateful to win! I just love Stephanie Rodnez 💕 Great teaching here! Thank you! God bless all🙌🏽
Brother Allen all of your videos always encourage me.They teach me and lead me and draw near closer to my Jesus.Thsnk you so Much for all you do.God Bless you Brother! 💕
I feel as though I fell to a level 1 or 2. I've always been a believer and I used to be at a level 5 or 6, but whenever I picked up my bible it just seemed like I was going through the motions after a while. I haven't lost my belief or my salvation, but my faith has been taking hits lately. I don't know God's purpose for my life and I feel I am just filler. I could really use a prayer or two.
I am at level 5 I am currently in a hard spot in my life so I have plunged myself into the Bible in response I was at 2 for a majority of the time before the last year and a half because I hadn't committed to it and to some extent I still haven't done it fully for level 6
I do all of it but I still have a problem with shopping which I know God will take care of soon. Thank you Allen for your informative and encouraging videos! :)
Hi Brother in Christ, Matt here. I just wanted to added this scripture about the Armour of God. It's in Isaiah 59:15-21. This word was given to the prophet Isaiah during the time when God had seen that sin was rampart (spreading) throughout Israel. I think this verse ties in quite nicely with the Armour of God in Ephesians 6. Matt.
Matt - NZ the word is Rampant Matt. I think Rampart is used in a battle, a way of getting into a Castle. Check it in a Dictionary, can't find mine at the moment.
Please pray for me to be strengthened on Recall. I want to be able to remember the reading of the day and where to find it in the Bible. Any suggestions ?
ESV Scriptures journals from Amazon gives you space to write down things you learn or scripture you want to memorize or think about. Just a suggestion.
Allen, I have throughly enjoyed this series. Thank you 🙏 I do have a question for you, answering this may bring me to a better understanding...if God has already won the battle, why do we still have to fight through them? Thanks!
I’m currently at level one because I’ve always struggled with reading in general. I honestly dislike reading and studying. I want to get to another level but idk how when reading and studying gives me complete anxiety

Responding to the word James 1:22-25 (NIV) Do not merely listen to the word, and so decieve yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard but doing it-They will be blessed in what they do." *Note: The goal of the bible is not information, its tranformation
Allen love your teachings thank you so much I share them with My 2 Bible study groups.... But if you don't mind I give you some feedback.. the music and drum beat While you are teaching is annoying & distracting...❤
I used to be number 1 until I heard you can lose your salvation and I became a number 4 and read that bad boy and now I know OSAS is biblical And now I know I can interpret the Bible
Hey Allen so I have been searching and I may ask my pastor but I don’t know if I’m comfortable enough to do it. My name is Brady and I’m 14 years old. I have been dating a girl for awhile now but she doesn’t believe in god. This troubles me sometimes as I don’t always wanna date someone who doesn’t believe in god but I feel like it was my calling to bring her into Christianity and I need help because she’s super stubborn. Do you have any tips? I would appreciate anything
Hi I would advise you to end the relationship on the basis of verse in the bible which says that you should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. You could always become her boyfriend again, after she becomes a christian - but for now it's not spiritually healthy for you to continue in this relationship. I know it's not easy, but you have to break up with her. If you can't, then try to fast and pray and ask God to give you the strength to be obedient to His word. I feel it with you as I know what you going through.
Help. Recently joined church and the army of God. Well the minister announced yesterday he would perform gay weddings. I sought refuge from LGBTI in the church... but it's in church now. Help. What do I do? I cannot continue in this church as much as it breaks my heart.
Hey kylee, I’m not sure if this will help and if I’m wrong some please correct me, but what I would do is leave that church and try to find one that teaches biblically and practice biblically, and during the process I would keep reading and studying the Bible and pray for guidance from God. Also while you are searching you can try listening to online sermons like John MacArthur from Grace To You Ministries, or John Piper Desiring God, or Charles Spurgeon. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless
I need advice. I have one of the most relentlessly unpleasant men I’ve ever known as a son-in-law. After 13 years of marriage my daughter is broken and bitter. He claims he’s a Christian. He supposedly rededicated his life just recently. In your opinion is it wrong to pray for a complete personality change in him? I’m not exaggerating-when I say he is one of the most unlikable people I’ve ever known.
Fanci McGuffin What's their problem? Had you tried to stepped in in ask them both if what's goin on? If not yet then how about if you treat your son-in-law alone to a coffee or lunch and try to talk to him. Try to talk to him as a friend not as your daughter's husband. Maybe he can share why he's so unpleasant and grab the opportunity to offer him your advise. And yes, you can pray to God to change him since we have no power to change anyone.
Fanci McGuffin I can imagine how hard your daughter's life is. If you had tried everything but no change then try to investigate your son-in-law's past. Maybe his past before he was married has something to do with that attitude. How he was treated and how he grow has a big impact of what he is now. Maybe he has unforgiveness or biterness in his heart. My first son is very rude and impatient toward her sister, when I investigated he was bullied in school from elementary to high school. From then on, we prayed for him to be able to forgive and we are loving him even more. But until now, the after shocked of that attitude was still in him so we kept on praying. Don't lose hope Fanci, kept on praying and love him even more. If time comes that he will hurt your daughter, talk to his family and bring him to a mental doctor.

Depends. I am not an auditory learner. I am visual and kinesthetic. Which means I learn by reading and doing.
Taking notes helps me remember what I hear because I’m moving my hand and reading as I write.
Not everyone learns the same way.

I think when you say to click the Bell to be notified, you should say "so you won't miss a *beat* ." I'm pretty sure that's a pun, but idk.
Ha! Man, why didn't I think of that! I think I'm going to switch to that! Great thinking! Ha great wit! Thanks for the idea,
Haha he totally does that now, how cool!!!
@@TheWarriorLV Right lols
So this is where it originated
@@thebeatagp so that's where that slogan came from! :)
I feel as though I fell to a level 1 or 2. I've always been a believer and I used to be at a level 5 or 6, but whenever I picked up my bible it just seemed like I was going through the motions after a while. I haven't lost my belief or my salvation, but my faith has been taking hits lately. I don't know God's purpose for my life and I feel I am just filler. I could really use a prayer or two.
I don't journal as a rapper putting a verse in a song makes me remember it
I am at level 5 I am currently in a hard spot in my life so I have plunged myself into the Bible in response I was at 2 for a majority of the time before the last year and a half because I hadn't committed to it and to some extent I still haven't done it fully for level 6
Hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏
Well done good bible study, thank you and God bless you!!
This is a very important message. Thank you for making a video on this important subject. Now I know which ways to improve in my christian life.
Thanks brother!
I struggle with reading the word of GOD it's like I rather do anything else daydream clean but I'm going to do better good WORD brother allen
Great teaching
Thank you so much for this series brother Allen!
Part VII - Rest in the Lord 🙂
I do all of it but I still have a problem with shopping which I know God will take care of soon. Thank you Allen for your informative and encouraging videos! :)
Excellent teaching thank you for upload 💙
This was super comprehensive and helpful, thanks man. I'm barely at level two/three, but I'm hyped to explore the rest.
Hi Brother in Christ, Matt here. I just wanted to added this scripture about the Armour of God. It's in Isaiah 59:15-21. This word was given to the prophet Isaiah during the time when God had seen that sin was rampart (spreading) throughout Israel.
I think this verse ties in quite nicely with the Armour of God in Ephesians 6.
Matt.
Matt - NZ the word is Rampant Matt. I think Rampart is used in a battle, a way of getting into a Castle. Check it in a Dictionary, can't find mine at the moment.
Thank you Allen, really learnt a lot from this series.
My spirit is hungry has been hungry for a while
Still grown brother. Thanks for the video
brother, thank you for inspiration!
I'm at level 1, because of YT and church. I think also level 2 to some extent though, not fully.
Amazing. Thank you
Yesssss
Thanks for this amazing video!!
Amen
Where are the rest of the Spiritual Warfare videos? I have seen 1,2 and can't find the rest! Thank you Allen & God bless you!
Another amazing video bud! This helped a lot!
Please pray for me to be strengthened on Recall. I want to be able to remember the reading of the day and where to find it in the Bible. Any suggestions ?
ESV Scriptures journals from Amazon gives you space to write down things you learn or scripture you want to memorize or think about. Just a suggestion.
I'm gonna be honest lol. I'm at level 3 but I'm trying to make it to level 4
Allen, I have throughly enjoyed this series. Thank you 🙏
I do have a question for you, answering this may bring me to a better understanding...if God has already won the battle, why do we still have to fight through them?
Thanks!
Thank you pastor for the Word.
Level 6 responding is also like sharing the Word to other?
Thank you for the video, Allen! Is there going to be part 2, explaining how to slay the enemy with the Word of God in prayers?
I say level 5, but I don’t do enough of 1-5 every day. So o guess I need to do level 1-5 to move up and grow.
Allen Parr can you talk about Mark 3:28-30 and Matthew 12:31-32
I’m currently at level one because I’ve always struggled with reading in general. I honestly dislike reading and studying. I want to get to another level but idk how when reading and studying gives me complete anxiety

Levels of relatioship with word of God:
1.) Recieving the word (including: sermons, bible study, small group, youtube, christian radio)

6.) Responding to the word
James 1:22-25 (NIV)
Do not merely listen to the word, and so decieve yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard but doing it-They will be blessed in what they do."

Allen love your teachings thank you so much I share them with My 2 Bible study groups.... But if you don't mind I give you some feedback.. the music and drum beat While you are teaching is annoying & distracting...❤
I used to be number 1 until I heard you can lose your salvation and I became a number 4 and read that bad boy and now I know OSAS is biblical
And now I know I can interpret the Bible
I’m trying to use bible study link and it’s not working. Please give me the correct link

I'm level 4, I'm trying to get to level 6
I need help. I used to have a strong relationship with god but now it isn't as strong what do I do.
Hey Allen so I have been searching and I may ask my pastor but I don’t know if I’m comfortable enough to do it. My name is Brady and I’m 14 years old. I have been dating a girl for awhile now but she doesn’t believe in god. This troubles me sometimes as I don’t always wanna date someone who doesn’t believe in god but I feel like it was my calling to bring her into Christianity and I need help because she’s super stubborn. Do you have any tips? I would appreciate anything
Hi I would advise you to end the relationship on the basis of verse in the bible which says that you should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. You could always become her boyfriend again, after she becomes a christian - but for now it's not spiritually healthy for you to continue in this relationship. I know it's not easy, but you have to break up with her. If you can't, then try to fast and pray and ask God to give you the strength to be obedient to His word. I feel it with you as I know what you going through.
5:58 - LOL!! you ain't brush yo teeth, and you right in someone's face talking about the football game lastnight :)
I think I'm at 4 1/2....😇😇
Thanks for sharing. Not a bad score! Keep it up!
Help. Recently joined church and the army of God. Well the minister announced yesterday he would perform gay weddings. I sought refuge from LGBTI in the church... but it's in church now. Help. What do I do? I cannot continue in this church as much as it breaks my heart.
Hey kylee, I’m not sure if this will help and if I’m wrong some please correct me, but what I would do is leave that church and try to find one that teaches biblically and practice biblically, and during the process I would keep reading and studying the Bible and pray for guidance from God. Also while you are searching you can try listening to online sermons like John MacArthur from Grace To You Ministries, or John Piper Desiring God, or Charles Spurgeon. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless
I 'm trying to free friend from a cult... which level should I be on? Currently level 5.
Darryl Thompson no person can free your friend, only God can change his heart and show him the truth
I need advice. I have one of the most relentlessly unpleasant men I’ve ever known as a son-in-law.
After 13 years of marriage my daughter is broken and bitter.
He claims he’s a Christian. He supposedly rededicated his life just recently.
In your opinion is it wrong to pray for a complete personality change in him?
I’m not exaggerating-when I say he is one of the most unlikable people I’ve ever known.
Fanci McGuffin
What's their problem? Had you tried to stepped in in ask them both if what's goin on? If not yet then how about if you treat your son-in-law alone to a coffee or lunch and try to talk to him. Try to talk to him as a friend not as your daughter's husband. Maybe he can share why he's so unpleasant and grab the opportunity to offer him your advise. And yes, you can pray to God to change him since we have no power to change anyone.
Fanci McGuffin
I can imagine how hard your daughter's life is. If you had tried everything but no change then try to investigate your son-in-law's past. Maybe his past before he was married has something to do with that attitude. How he was treated and how he grow has a big impact of what he is now. Maybe he has unforgiveness or biterness in his heart. My first son is very rude and impatient toward her sister, when I investigated he was bullied in school from elementary to high school. From then on, we prayed for him to be able to forgive and we are loving him even more. But until now, the after shocked of that attitude was still in him so we kept on praying. Don't lose hope Fanci, kept on praying and love him even more. If time comes that he will hurt your daughter, talk to his family and bring him to a mental doctor.
I hear better than I read.
Do you time travel in heaven ?
Can you be a little of all this!!!
I’m at level 3
lv 1
