When Opportunities Appear - Dr. Charles Stanley
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Do you sometimes feel bored by the Christian life? That isn't what our heavenly Father intends for His children. Our lives, from the moment of salvation until we see Jesus face to face, should be characterized by excitement and adventure. How? Through the invitations the Lord provides to draw closer to Him and to participate with Him in touching the lives of others.
God commands us to be careful in how we live. He instructs us to be wise in our decisions and alert to the opportunities He provides (Eph. 5:15-17). In this sermon, Dr. Stanley looks at seven biblical passages in which men and women had the choice whether or not to respond to the Lord. Through their examples-good and bad-we can learn more about how our lives can be characterized by adventure and promise.

- Responding to Opportunity
- Turning Our Crisis Into an Opportunity

I just heard of Dr. Stanley passing.... April 18, 2023 God has called his very faithful servant home..🙏🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
Don’t you know there was a party in heaven on that day!!!! ❤️
21 days after my 25 year old son died. Heaven gained 2 more great men.
❤
He preaches better the older he gets ❤
These teachings are GOLD to the younger generation among all the foolishness they’re being led to believe. Thank you for solid teachings.
Amen & Amen

Dr. Stanley is timeless! I listen to his teachings every single day! I am so thankful for UA-cam!
2/3 of the older generation needs them. How does one think the young got where there at………how do we think we got where we are in this country……..following God, I think not.
Yes, absolutely.
THIS IS THE ONE PREACHER THAT I TRUST COMPLETLY TO TEACH THE WORD OF GOD!
Amen!
Amen
He speaks truth straight from The Word! He is so anointed!
Amen and amen!!
I read his book when I was in prison in Brasil, and it helped me greatly to be where I am today in Christ. Victory Over Life Challenges. 10 years in Christ.
Please make a Movie of his life! He deserves the recognition for all he did for the Christian movement. 💥❤️ God keep Blessing his Ministry.
Yes a movie about him would be wonderful ❤
yes i agree,but it should be acted by born again
A movie of his childhood and becoming a man of God 🙏
How about a truthful documentary since movies are for entertainment…….beware some documentaries are heading more towards movies than documentary too. He speaks of his childhood in few messages if you listen to enough. 20 years on my way to work Mr Stanley messages helped me love the lord as I suffered abuse thru the work day. Was a beautiful way to give me patience and strength and wisdom to deal with this ole world as people started taking their disappointments out on people who had nothing to do with them. You know what are friends and others for right.
I’d rather be at the feet 🦶🏼 of Jesus listing his wisdom.
Yes amen!
I totally agree, everytime I listen to dr. Charles Stanley, things that I was confused about, become very clear, thank you Jesus for sending us this godly Man, what a blessing he is in my life ❤️🙏
LORD JESUS HELP ME TO LIVE EXCITED ABOUT LIFE LIKE I USED TOO-PLEASE RE-STORE JOY IN MY HEART-PLEASE JESUS THANK YOU!❤😊😊❤
even me , diseases is mostly consequences of choices
His teaching is anointed and so easy to apply to my life! I just love him and I am so thankful for these videos!
🙏 His sermons are great
He is so missed, I still listen to him every night 🙏🏽My he RIP 💔 He taught me so much & he still is~
Jesus loves you and He cares. ❤
I was depressed. I grew up in a chaotic environment with a family filled with violence and every kind of maliciousness bitterness rage anger and addictions. I am a silent person and what happened was I threw myself in books after the first book to live in an imagined world but one day I thought if I could put my heart the way I put my heart to my mangas to the books I read how great that would be now I am reading the bible like never before after it had collected dust from my neglect.
I have to reply to you because I too immersed myself into every book I could get my hands on to escape from the extremely dysfunctional environment I was raised in. I completely understand you, I went through the same exact things. I'm glad you are still able to hang on to your faith, I was an atheist for most of my life and only recently did I truly became a Christian. Now I'm just trusting God and I have more clarity on the subjects that matter the most to me. Reading the Bible is a must. Sending you much love and praying God blesses you abundantly.
I grew up the same way. But now we Have Forgiveness of Sins/Eternal Life/A Relationship with God Almighty through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit lives IN US helping us everyday!! You are Loved sister.
I am so sorry you had a bad environment to grow up in.
Jesus loves you and wants the best for you.
I am praying for you.
I can relate without God , couldn't imagine where I would be .
Lĺlllllllllllkklklllllllllllllllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
This Is A Godly Man

Could you imagine a world without Dr. Stanley? I cannot, more importantly, God did not.
For real tho. How he delivers the word is beyond unreal and powerful. There aren't a lot of people who preach the Word Of God these days as he does. He is so practical about it too.
@@abeekuworldchanger380 I agree

Dr. Charles Stanley just passed away on April 18th he passed away on April 18th 2023
Amen Dr Stanley. Everyday I pray that Jesus open the roofs of Washington D.C. and drop some of his Good Soul in there.Amen.
When I was unsaved and dead in sin, I was unaware of the goodness and mercy of God. Now, I'm alive and find actual joy in sharing the Gospel with people.
Thank you, Father.

Amen praise God!!! I felt on my heart to preach, I've known I been called to minister. I prayed "lord where do I start? I have little money and will need your spirit." I felt to call this old church down the street. It so happened the owner was in town and we talked. He told me he rents the whole building for $20 an hour. Everything excluded... praise God. God gave me an opportunity to start his ministry with me.
I'm always listening to Dr.Charles Stanley's sermon everytime.Thanks God for sending him
for preaching the gospel of our" Lord Jesus Christ"and for reaching out for those who are unbelievers.
Yes I very much agree. His preaching always renews me!
It is Awesome to Rejoice in the of Jesus our Savior 😊
Thank you Dr Stanley, a true man of God. I work from home and I try to listen to one of your sermons daily, thank you for making the gospel and God so simple to understand! You put it in such beautiful perspective. Praise God!
Thanks be to God...I ask that all of you pray for my sister who has stage 4 liver cancer, and my son who is mentally sick.
Prayers.
Lifted up.God Bless you.🙏🙏🙏
Another great sermon from my favorite pastor! He is now with the Lord, but his teachings and classic sermons it'll always be carry on in his legacy
I praise the Lord for the opportunity to be able to listen to your sermons every night before I go to sleep! I have for almost a year now ! God bless you for being such a blessing !
It's five years later April 18th 2023 and dr. Charles Stanley passed away
Anointed teacher of the word
So beautiful! So accurate!
I thank God, that He never gives up on a child of God! I was like that dead, dark forest at one time in my life but Jesus came in and " Revived, Renewed, Refreshed and Restored my life forever! Years ago I asked the Lord, " Is this all it is to life, is that you grow old roll over and die?" The Holy Spirit said to me-- ' you don't have to grow old, you can just roll over and die.' I tell you for a fact! Our God is a great and loving God!!! Amen?! Amen.
A stagnant bored Christian is not moving in step with the Holy spirit he is always moving, lord Jesus christ please help us to keep in time with you and go when you say to and wait when you say to. God help me to listen to you master lord Jesus christ yeshua messiah, I want to sit at your feet and always listen to You lord Jesus christ. Father God and his son Jesus christ and Holy spirit be with us always thank God you really are with me. Glory to God hallelujah.
Dear God💗❤️💗❤️💞🙏in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the , life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
God, I'm sober today, praise Jesus!
Amen 🎉🙌So happy for you. Stay strong in faith❤
Its time for a jesus movement time to show the world not to have fear but to trust and have faith in god because he is in control
Amen to that . I was having doubts and the lord lead me to this mans messages ❤️❤️ Blessed

THANK YOU FATHER &LORD JESUS...FOR THEE EVERLASTING TEACHINGS...FROM THEE STANLEY'S FAMILY...GOD SENT...LOVE 😍 LESSONS...&MORE...KEEP IT COMING😊
Living by faith through opportunities. I love opportunity and once the Lord brought six different opportunities to me. I prayed , fasted, asked for confirmation, and said, 'Lord, I will. Open the door if you want me to do this. Close the door if I want to do this.' All six opportunities closed. Then God opened the door He wanted me to follow.
Be slow to respond to opportunity but RUSH to Jesus Christ for salvation.
Always ... TODAY, is the day of salvation! Open Door!
❤❤❤❤

Thank you Lord for the teaching.
Anima Christi, Dr. Stanley This Catholic loves you.
He is so uplifting, preaching God's truths!
God is AMAZING! I'm listening to this sermon, and a coworker that I've been wanting to talk to about the Lord pops up into my desk. He instantly jokes "forgive me father, for I've sinned. It's been 41 years since my last confession". We have a little chat and I tell him to try the Lord again. It didn't go good or bad, but I'm glad I spoke of the lord either way. He's been hurt, so I'll just pray for him. Thank you God for the opportunity!!!
Dr Stanley, thank you. I have been listening on and off to your teachings since the early 1990's. My grandmother absolutely loved your teachings.
Dr Stanley is God sent and his sermons speak to my heart. God continues to speak to me through this man of God. God bless you Dr Charles and may God grant you many years. Heaven is your home.
