Ephesians 2:8-9 “for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this is not through yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works so that no one can boast.” Edit: You should be doing works because you are saved and have faith, not to earn your salvation. Salvation is free you just have to have faith to earn it. You should do these works because you are saved and have salvation. You should do them to glorify God and to show your faith in him. ❤️❤️❤️
10 For we are his WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. When we follow Christ Jesus with our full heart our work comes through the heart which is what he wants. Our work is made from love when our hearts are transformed through faith and following Christ. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:17-20 Faith alone will not sustain you. When you have faith and keep Gods commandments and pursue Jesus as your foundation of life THEN our works are put to fruition through love from Christ because our actions reflect Christ when our heart is changed through Him. You can have “faith” and “go to church every Sunday” and still not have your life reflect Christ. Also, repenting for sins is a big part of it. There’s a lot of false doctrine saying “believe in Christ and you’re saved” but then you justify a sinful life or one that reflects a judgmental Pharisee or Sadducee life where then when you meet Christ in heaven he will say “depart from me ye that WORK iniquity” Matthew 7:23. You must get the whole context of scripture to get the true answers.
Works of the law are not good works. They are different as paul himself explained And James did in his epistle. The holy spirit is.given to those who obey God which is to do all that chrust said to do. We were not told to attend church every Sunday and stand and sing and pray and call it well and line the pockets of false teachers. Many of which are unable to tell you how the law and prophets were fullfilled. But I ask you what were we told to do? Matthew 25:31-46 Does this mean that Good works or anything that we can do gets us into heaven? Or is it by faith, and dying to the flesh and living in the spirit as a new creation as a follower of Jesus christ in the washing of regeneration? Good works do not save us. But without them our faith is dead. If you possess somewhat anything and you see a brother or sister in need, and you offer to pray for them and then continue to walk to Starbucks to get your 5th 12$ latte of the day. Your faith I tell you is no more than the pagans. James chapter 2 explained this well. Yes the chapter nkt a single verse or 2 verses. But I assure you that theesson and message of each section of scripture is seen in its entirety and not carefully picked out single verses such as you've seen here and with nearly every other so called pastor. Replacing scripture with thwir individual interpretation that oft goes well against scripture or what is even said or meant in what they quote. Taking out of context that which is to be followed as is. Not covered in Glosses by the idea of man. I beseech you all do not fall to temptation of the ear tickling teachings of man saying you need only faith and good works are not needed. By his own example I offer you this Ephesians 2:4-10 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Do not heed their false teachings. These men were warned of by Peter as well. 2 peter 3:14-18 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
I received the Holy Spirit truly seeking God and praying for Him to help me to believe in Him. The spirit came in me at work and I broke down crying with love and joy and God is so good because I no longer am ever alone
My great grandmas name was Grace, the most holy person that I have met. I strive be a fraction of her every day. The Holy Spirit comes to me now daily through my prayer and love for Jesus.
Hi Johnny I listened to your live on Sunday and you were mentioning the significance of Jesus crucifixion wounds and when you detailed Jesus side piercing and how that was significant to Adam’s wound ( bars!) homie , that hit me hard , it made me cry because I thought what other man would receive that kind of torture for us , and I gave thanks to the Lord for our salvation what He did at the cross . Thank You brother ❤
No act can earn salvation. Nothing comes close to the fulfillment of the law established by Jesus Christ. Our faith is what brings fruits of the spirit. And like fruit, our acts are meant to spread God's word and glorify God as well as bless those around us.

Do you know that I have been diligently following Jesus my very best. I read the Bible every day and I will still catch myself trying to "work" for my salvation, which I only have by His grace. He has recently taught me some very important lessons and I needed it. Thank you for the way you put things. God bless you.
I absolutely love this 🙏🏻💗✨️ . I love , I trust & I walk with God every single day . God gave us eternal life ! God is everywhere, even the universe, we're all have a piece of God within us all . God is our very heartbeat that never stops beating in our hearts and souls, for all eternity's never-ending Amen 🙏🏻💗✨️ , thank you , father 🙏🏻💗✨️ xx

Depression sometimes can bring you to grace. As it is also scary it was for me at same time familiar feeling where at the start. The feeling hurts emotionally. But then, it gave me humility and humbleness with graciousness. The pain (awakening) made me forget alot about everything that has been programmed in me in the flesh.
When you have the Holy Spirit you are sure you have it. Its not an experience, it's God being with you. When you repent, believe, give your life to Christ and become born again is when God starts being in you. May God bless you!
Had it recently, I was heavily addicted to drugs, weed, heroin, alcohol, sleeping around. I cried out to Yeshua and I’m now 17 days sober. There is NO WAY I could have done it on my own.
When you speak in feel like your in the room giving a bible study. Must be your grace and presence of the Holy Spirit with you. God bless you brother, sincerely
Johnny, your testimony really shifted my perspective of the faith. I never thought i could be redeemed, but your story and countless others really solidified my belief and my understanding.
FAITH IS THE FUEL TO ALLOW CHRIST TO WORK THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU AFTER BEING SURRENDERED FULLY THEN HE GUIDES YOUR STEPS TOWARDS JESUS WILL FOR YOUR LIFE 💯🙏
Always keeping you in my prayers big homie Johnny 👑❤️🔥👑🎼 sending prayers of love and respect, strength, energy ❤️🔥 I pray in Jesus name 👑 Forever Always. Talley 💙👑
James tells us to be doers of the word and not hearers only. We must be careful to read the whole council of a truth. He will help us , but remember we also must Obey! Jesus said,” if you love me , you will obey my commandments.”
AMEN! Only by what Christ did on the Cross! That is the ONLY work that matters. What I do is nothing but filthy rags! Thank you Jesus for the gift of the Holy Spirit!!
I was wondering with what you said in another video, if you were genuine. Then I saw this, you didn’t even have click bait or anything, you literally put the answer on the video title and put it into greater detail in the video. God reaffirmed that you are truly transformed and also gave me a message that it’s nothing I can do on my own, keep it up Johnny, may God continue to bless you and help others through your hands and with the Spirit of God. And a good reminder to take note of what you said in another video of yours because I’m being confirmed of it rn and as soon as it happened, being confirmed that we have to acknowledge our sinfulness , I just got a heavy attack. Thank God for his mighty hand cuz my ears felt like they should’ve burst then the sound stayed and the pain wasn’t there anymore and I just had the Holy Spirit come upon me and I was like “Thank you God!” And it was pretty hardcore. God is good! For explanation I’m undergoing a type of deliverance from vaping rn too, the attacks haven’t been fun, please pray for me if you guys are willing, peace✌️🫡👏
Amen amen and amen! When others say that once saved always saved I question because in Gods Word it does also state that one must pick up his cross every day and deny thyself and follow Christ So just because we are saved by His Grace doesn’t mean we ought to or get to coninute living in sin See, true repentance doesn’t come from the cycle of feeling guilty and promising never to do X Y X again without a game plan, for you’ll fall right back into this cycle. Rather true repentance comes from recognizing Gods Grace and because of His Grace and His Love for us, we change our mind and thus hearts about our thoughts, behaviors, actions, habits, lifestyle More tailored by Christs example and we are often the very first representatives of Christs Love to other especially children
I’ve done exactly what the Galatians were guilty of… let people who aren’t teaching sound doctrine twist my mind and view of God by emphasizing ME and MY works for assurance of salvation and whether I will “make the cut” on judgement day as if Christ’s blood wasn’t enough. I can see why and where some people could get this idea in scripture but ultimately I think we misunderstand and jump the gun and it leads people to ruin. We cannot do enough and never will do enough to be worthy or earn Gods favor and love, that was all done for us 100%, and EVERYTHING we do needs to flow from that instead of forcing it and trying to do more on your own strength. That led me to a severe confusion and I started to get very bitter and frustrated with God. The confusion was so intense and I became SO depressed it has been hard. The Lord is slowly leading me out of that and back to the simple truth I knew so well when I first gave my life to Jesus, it hasn’t been easy but I can see now it all came from entertaining the idea that Jesus sacrifice wasn’t quite enough and now I have to maintain a certain level of obedience, and works to make sure I “keep” my salvation. Frustrates me so bad that people teach this stuff, and I feel like they completely ignore clear promises from God in the Bible that He will finish the work He starts in us, and will never leave or forsake us because some verses “seem” to insinuate you can lose salvation by willful sin or things like that.
@@CAsnowman so should you go on willfully sinning? Our part is to pursue righteousness 14But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them. 15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
@@4thetruth62 obviously we shouldn’t go on sinning willfully, and if you’ve accepted Christ and been born again I don’t believe you’re ultimately going to want to live a life of sin. I agree we need to seek to live holy lives and to flee from sin, but that is not what our salvation is based upon.
Ephesians 1:13 King James Version 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, What must you believe to receive the holy spirit? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 King James Version 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
Hey Johnny, I know you don’t do plastic care or whatever. But I was hoping you can help me work through. I have been caring for my mum who is at the tail end of Dementia through this journey much closer to the Lord I see his guidance and relationship so much But what I’m finding is for what I think I’m doing right by the Lord and my mother in honouring her I feel absolutely punished by this disease. I am completely exhausted and I question why aren’t I strengthening I’m not expecting it to be easy Johnny and they are definitely times that the Holy Spirit is there and there are beautiful moments but I’m reaching a point where my flesh can’t cope
“Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” acts 2:38
But don't get confused! Amazingly, without repentance, we can even boast in our faith. Faith without repentance for your inevitable sin is worthless also. Grace is no excuse to sin without remorse.
Hello Jhonny 😊 i heard you said a Lot of times everything start with a thought. Can you please give us an advice for the moments where emotions and thoughts are kicking harder and harder , how can we make it stop and stay peaceful and positive? Thank you❤
AMEN 🙏. I pray that I can learn and remember the scripture in the Bible. I have a hard time remembering and sometimes understanding the Bible. I have the Bible app but still becomes confusing at times.
When you receive The HOLY SPIRIT the people they know you very well, will wondering and asking what happened to you. Others who don't will come with questions interesting to find out who you ARE!? When walking alone in the open country side you get the largest portion you can imagine. Strangers 🐺🐾 🐕 😺 can't handle the dazzling.
Wouldn’t kind, graceful acts put you in alignment with pure faith? I think that if one acts with grace and good intention and sees the result of it in others, the responses of the value that it creates in their life, the relief in their eyes perhaps, then one can you achieve pure faith through the joy it would bring to oneself.
How many people wants to receive the Holy spirit?? Comment 👇
I do, but have already and if you all have believe, then so have you.
Amen
ME!
Amen I definitely do 🙏🙏

Works of the law are not good works. They are different as paul himself explained
And James did in his epistle.
The holy spirit is.given to those who obey God which is to do all that chrust said to do.
We were not told to attend church every Sunday and stand and sing and pray and call it well and line the pockets of false teachers. Many of which are unable to tell you how the law and prophets were fullfilled.
But I ask you what were we told to do?
Matthew 25:31-46
Does this mean that Good works or anything that we can do gets us into heaven? Or is it by faith, and dying to the flesh and living in the spirit as a new creation as a follower of Jesus christ in the washing of regeneration?
Good works do not save us. But without them our faith is dead. If you possess somewhat anything and you see a brother or sister in need, and you offer to pray for them and then continue to walk to Starbucks to get your 5th 12$ latte of the day. Your faith I tell you is no more than the pagans.
James chapter 2 explained this well.
Yes the chapter nkt a single verse or 2 verses.
But I assure you that theesson and message of each section of scripture is seen in its entirety and not carefully picked out single verses such as you've seen here and with nearly every other so called pastor.
Replacing scripture with thwir individual interpretation that oft goes well against scripture or what is even said or meant in what they quote. Taking out of context that which is to be followed as is. Not covered in Glosses by the idea of man.
I beseech you all do not fall to temptation of the ear tickling teachings of man saying you need only faith and good works are not needed.
By his own example I offer you this Ephesians 2:4-10
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Do not heed their false teachings.
These men were warned of by Peter as well.
2 peter 3:14-18
Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Matthew 25:31-46
Does this mean that Good works or anything that we can do gets us into heaven? Or is it by faith, and dying to the flesh and living in the spirit as a new creation as a follower of Jesus christ in the washing of regeneration?
Good works do not save us. But without them our faith is dead. If you possess somewhat anything and you see a brother or sister in need, and you offer to pray for them and then continue to walk to Starbucks to get your 5th 12$ latte of the day. Your faith I tell you is no more than the pagans.
James chapter 2 explained this well.
Yes the chapter nkt a single verse or 2 verses.
But I assure you that theesson and message of each section of scripture is seen in its entirety and not carefully picked out single verses such as you've seen here and with nearly every other so called pastor.
Replacing scripture with thwir individual interpretation that oft goes well against scripture or what is even said or meant in what they quote. Taking out of context that which is to be followed as is. Not covered in Glosses by the idea of man.
I beseech you all do not fall to temptation of the ear tickling teachings of man saying you need only faith and good works are not needed.
By his own example I offer you this Ephesians 2:4-10
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Do not heed their false teachings.
These men were warned of by Peter as well.
2 peter 3:14-18
Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
Depression sometimes can bring you to grace. As it is also scary it was for me at same time familiar feeling where at the start. The feeling hurts emotionally. But then, it gave me humility and humbleness with graciousness. The pain (awakening) made me forget alot about everything that has been programmed in me in the flesh.
When you have the Holy Spirit you are sure you have it. Its not an experience, it's God being with you. When you repent, believe, give your life to Christ and become born again is when God starts being in you. May God bless you!
Had it recently, I was heavily addicted to drugs, weed, heroin, alcohol, sleeping around. I cried out to Yeshua and I’m now 17 days sober. There is NO WAY I could have done it on my own.

Your videos are very helpful. Thank you I learn a lot. I love Jesus. Jesus is King. God is good.

Everything of God by faith, not works! Believe and receive!
If faith is not accompanied by works of love it is, in fact, not faith.
Praise the LORD
Amen! ✝️🧎🏻🕊️
I love this message ❤
Amen 💕✝️
James tells us to be doers of the word and not hearers only. We must be careful to read the whole council of a truth. He will help us , but remember we also must Obey! Jesus said,” if you love me , you will obey my commandments.”
AMEN! Only by what Christ did on the Cross! That is the ONLY work that matters. What I do is nothing but filthy rags! Thank you Jesus for the gift of the Holy Spirit!!
That's good brother! Amen!
HalleluYah 🕊️🤍🙏🏾
In Jesus name Amen❤

I was wondering with what you said in another video, if you were genuine. Then I saw this, you didn’t even have click bait or anything, you literally put the answer on the video title and put it into greater detail in the video. God reaffirmed that you are truly transformed and also gave me a message that it’s nothing I can do on my own, keep it up Johnny, may God continue to bless you and help others through your hands and with the Spirit of God.
And a good reminder to take note of what you said in another video of yours because I’m being confirmed of it rn and as soon as it happened, being confirmed that we have to acknowledge our sinfulness , I just got a heavy attack. Thank God for his mighty hand cuz my ears felt like they should’ve burst then the sound stayed and the pain wasn’t there anymore and I just had the Holy Spirit come upon me and I was like “Thank you God!” And it was pretty hardcore. God is good!
For explanation I’m undergoing a type of deliverance from vaping rn too, the attacks haven’t been fun, please pray for me if you guys are willing, peace✌️🫡👏
Thank you
Amen 🙏
AMEN ❤
Amin❤
Amen amen and amen!
When others say that once saved always saved I question because in Gods Word it does also state that one must pick up his cross every day and deny thyself and follow Christ
So just because we are saved by His Grace doesn’t mean we ought to or get to coninute living in sin
See, true repentance doesn’t come from the cycle of feeling guilty and promising never to do X Y X again without a game plan, for you’ll fall right back into this cycle.
Rather true repentance comes from recognizing Gods Grace and because of His Grace and His Love for us, we change our mind and thus hearts about our thoughts, behaviors, actions, habits, lifestyle
More tailored by Christs example and we are often the very first representatives of Christs Love to other especially children
I’ve done exactly what the Galatians were guilty of… let people who aren’t teaching sound doctrine twist my mind and view of God by emphasizing ME and MY works for assurance of salvation and whether I will “make the cut” on judgement day as if Christ’s blood wasn’t enough. I can see why and where some people could get this idea in scripture but ultimately I think we misunderstand and jump the gun and it leads people to ruin. We cannot do enough and never will do enough to be worthy or earn Gods favor and love, that was all done for us 100%, and EVERYTHING we do needs to flow from that instead of forcing it and trying to do more on your own strength. That led me to a severe confusion and I started to get very bitter and frustrated with God. The confusion was so intense and I became SO depressed it has been hard. The Lord is slowly leading me out of that and back to the simple truth I knew so well when I first gave my life to Jesus, it hasn’t been easy but I can see now it all came from entertaining the idea that Jesus sacrifice wasn’t quite enough and now I have to maintain a certain level of obedience, and works to make sure I “keep” my salvation. Frustrates me so bad that people teach this stuff, and I feel like they completely ignore clear promises from God in the Bible that He will finish the work He starts in us, and will never leave or forsake us because some verses “seem” to insinuate you can lose salvation by willful sin or things like that.
@@CAsnowman so should you go on willfully sinning? Our part is to pursue righteousness
14But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them. 15From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
@@4thetruth62 obviously we shouldn’t go on sinning willfully, and if you’ve accepted Christ and been born again I don’t believe you’re ultimately going to want to live a life of sin. I agree we need to seek to live holy lives and to flee from sin, but that is not what our salvation is based upon.
Amen ❤
🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
Amen bro!
I was "possessed " by a demon/spirit thing for almost of my whole life. I still recognized God and JESUS and salvation.
Thanks so much
🔥🔥🔥
Amen..
Deep🔑🙏❤️😇
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Romans 10:17
Works won't grant us salvation but Works is proof that we have faith, though.
Amen
Keep me in your prayers brothers and sisters I haven't received the holy spirit yet 🙌
Very good
Holy Spirit Fire 🔥

Ephesians 1:13
King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
What must you believe to receive the holy spirit?
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
King James Version
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures

Hey Johnny, I know you don’t do plastic care or whatever. But I was hoping you can help me work through. I have been caring for my mum who is at the tail end of Dementia through this journey much closer to the Lord I see his guidance and relationship so much But what I’m finding is for what I think I’m doing right by the Lord and my mother in honouring her I feel absolutely punished by this disease. I am completely exhausted and I question why aren’t I strengthening I’m not expecting it to be easy Johnny and they are definitely times that the Holy Spirit is there and there are beautiful moments but I’m reaching a point where my flesh can’t cope
“Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
acts 2:38
But don't get confused! Amazingly, without repentance, we can even boast in our faith. Faith without repentance for your inevitable sin is worthless also. Grace is no excuse to sin without remorse.
🙏
The Holy Spirit is giving to them that obey Him.Its Christ works through us when we surrender to him.
Hello Jhonny 😊 i heard you said a Lot of times everything start with a thought. Can you please give us an advice for the moments where emotions and thoughts are kicking harder and harder , how can we make it stop and stay peaceful and positive? Thank you❤
AMEN 🙏. I pray that I can learn and remember the scripture in the Bible. I have a hard time remembering and sometimes understanding the Bible. I have the Bible app but still becomes confusing at times.
You not alone it takes months or years
Acts 2:38
Rememeber the song Tokyo drift from fast and furious 😅 I chose John 😅😅😅

When you receive The HOLY SPIRIT the people they know you very well, will wondering and asking what happened to you. Others who don't will come with questions interesting to find out who you ARE!? When walking alone in the open country side you get the largest portion you can imagine. Strangers 🐺🐾 🐕 😺 can't handle the dazzling.
Wouldn’t kind, graceful acts put you in alignment with pure faith? I think that if one acts with grace and good intention and sees the result of it in others, the responses of the value that it creates in their life, the relief in their eyes perhaps, then one can you achieve pure faith through the joy it would bring to oneself.
Baptism is key to receiving the holy Spirit and salvation. Without it, you are dead in your sins. Romans 6.
I don’t understand how I haven’t been able to see this before
