Program 2623 ................... - Sin - Love - Religion ..............
Recorded at The University of North Florida - October 2023
Join us in person for a Sunday service at 9:30amET at Grace Community Church located at Grace Farms (365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan CT, 06840).
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

Though I haven’t been necessarily happy lately. I still recognize and acknowledge the purpose of life and that’s Jesus Christ.
First letter of Peter( I Peter ) may be of some assistance in your moment of trials my friend. Stay strong. Our strength lies with Jesus
PROVERBS 21:31
The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance 𝘢𝘯𝘥 victory are of the Lord.
Happiness is for woman and children
I'm praying for the Lord to give you a little jolt to bring you joy. He saved us when we deserved to burn in Hell. He has our backs every day, and he Loves us. So celebrate Jesus and get the devil off your back. Christ is Lord, and he's coming to get us. Can't not be happy when our sins have been washed away.
You don't need to constantly feel happiness nor need anyone to be happy dude get your Life together and in order.
@@pdubsyyyy The Bible says you need the spirit of a child… so you’re wrong.
It's December 2023 and Cliffe still rocks. Keep on keeping on Sirs!
True. Just started my journey towards christ and I've been listening to nearly everything from cliff and his son. I love these 2 and they have helped me learn so much.
I love is son too. Their style is very similar but feels completely different. If this was wwf they would win the tag team challenge lol
@@dynasty7298inspiring philosophy is a good channel, Jeff Durban, Dr Turek, there are a lot of great preachers on UA-cam and Rumble. Fun to watch and listen but don’t forget to read your Bible. Discussion is great but the gospel is more important
FACTS 🔥👊
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf he would be drums for sure lol he keeps the pace
Jesus Christ saved my life! I’m never going back. Thank you Cliff for what you do!
I was there at UNF, what a blessing from the Lord to hear him speak ❤️
When was this? It looks like an old video
@@mrhow2712recorded october of 2023. its in the description.
I like how the students are respectful and allow Cliffe to speak. At many campuses today there are students who would shut down talks like these.
@robertmitchell-tv5yf like Men Can be women and vise-versa. And men can get pregnant.
As for shutting down speakers like Cliff, it's not because what he states cannot be proven or has not been proven truth for a minute, it's because it shines a light on the degradation of society. Be it abortion, promiscuity, irresponsible actions, break down of the nuclear family, promotion of single mothers, fatherless children and so on. If his words and that of others like him were baseless, noone would make a Fuse about it and just walk beside him as if he were not there.
The Light bothers those who try to shut him down.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yfGood thing Cliff provides lots of good evidence
Then VS now
@@robertmitchell-tv5yfthe Bible predicted that the Euphrates rivers would dry up if you've looked at the news lately you will see that that's now happening. Keep in mind this book was written 2,000 years ago and ask yourself how that's possible if it's not inspired by God
I cant tell you evidence from Cliffe because I havent watched every Cliffe video or know every thing Cliffe has said, etc. But, I can tell you the evidence for Jesus Christ being God that I know. First, there are many non-christian accounts of Jesus from when he was alive. Those accounts consist of saying his works were sorcery. Second, 500 people saw Jesus Christ resurrect. There are accounts for his resurrection. One being Paul, who murdered Christians not for any gain. Who ended up seeing Jesus rise, and believed in him. and him and so many others were willing to be martyred, persecuted, and even die on their belief on Jesus Christ. Paul literally went from a man killing Christians for no reason, to standing on his belief as a Christian so heavily that he was willing to die. Third, after Jesus died, the only explanation for what happened after is that he rose again. Other than the accounts of him literally raising again, Paul and so many others willing to die for the fact that he rose, but also because his body is no longer in the tomb he was literally buried in. And lastly, the fact that Jesus has four times the amount of accounts, than that of the emperor, Tiberius during the time. Jesus has 40, Tiberius has 10. God bless you, I love you and Jesus loves you more
I love the Knechtles so much, they're authentic, respectful, and well-informed on what they say.
Not all of the time and I'm a fellow Christian but they're wrong or won't admit when they don't know the answers to certain questions sometimes but I do love them
And even get fired up when people are acting stupid which I love even more, they are human and have no problem admitting that! 🙏❤️👏🏻
This man will never stop, keep going Cliffe and Stuart.
every time i get a craving to smoke cigarettes i say the lord's prayer and it goes away. even if i get a craving every 3 seconds all i have to do is repeat it until the craving is gone. if you have to go 2 hours on it, do it. god is stronger than our sinful self-sabotaging desires
And what about cakes,cool drinks ,cookies etc. Some people just must not smoke simple,to call it a sin is pathetic.
@@ericscaillet2232 what are the benefits of cigarettes? Do they cause cancer? Is it a sin to damage your body for pleasure?
Yes sugar should also be cut off. It's embarrassing that the government legalized sugar, tobacco, alcohol. Everything that damages your body should be illegal. Cigarettes, weed, whatnot are all sin. If you wouldn't want a kid to smoke, why an adult is fine? Health is the priority, not hedonism
@@black-crossgood job.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yfNo one is forcing you to light up a plant or drink till you can't walk straight
Smoking and alcohol can destroy your internal health
Every day's a good day when you've got two scoops of Jesus!
The Lost must be found and the broken must be mended. He who mourns today shall be comforted
Amen all glory to God🙏🏾
though i struggle with lust and am probably doomed to be alone for the rest of my life, i still am thankful to God for having mercy on me for my sins and know his judgement on me is just.
Rebuke the lust in Jesus name
You'll find someone, don't worry
It’s wise of you to confess of your struggles with lust for it’s the beginning of the overcoming process. Others will be covering you with mercy. I speak of men as I am one and if it’s any consolation I can tell you that most of us male believers are either freed from lusts of the flesh, or are still trying to be free of them. And as God moves in mysterious ways we therefore cannot predict who will and who won’t be married. But losing the lust of the flesh is the great milestone in this lustful day and age. But we must play our part by abstaining from looking at porn. We have to deny ourself which initially is hard to do but eventually becomes plain sailing. If we play our part God will surely do the rest.
I'm old and never found someone because God hates me
@@tree777tree3 That is a lie from the enemy. You are loved by me and God and many more people. I never met you but I still love you because God loves you and me. God is a loving father and he blessed you with clothes on your back and food to eat. Can't you see the love he has for you. The enemy is a liar, never listen to him you have power over him. Every bad and evil thought is from the enemy. God is love, peace, kindness and just. Don't be discouraged but be strong and read the Bible and you'll see the love he has for you.
Bless you both for shining the light, illuminating Jesus Christ in the education sector, our young generation who will become the future leaders, God bless you Cliffe and son ❤🙏🙌❤
Keep on spreading the Good News and may God bless you and ministry
Thanks for continuing to do this cliffe! God bless everyone!
I think that's because, "death is the ultimate thing (no matter what way) that can happen to a person, and blood is what keeps us alive, which we couldn't live without. God bless you Pastor Cliffe and Stuart! With 🙏's and love.
When I started seeing cliff's videos he had 100k followers, nows its up to 225k. Glad to see Christ's message being spread thru cliff's speeches. Truly
I am Catholic and hold true to the faith but I enjoy his talks.
If we love God and His infallible word found in the King James Bible, we no longer need to say any more Hail Marys-but instead let the Bible and the Bible alone be our great teacher.
I came from a Catholic background. A pious mother. Two uncles who were priests. A great uncle who was a priest. And a nun who was my aunt. Yes I agree with you. Cliffe and Stewart are great to watch. Very helpful.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf Though I am addressing this to you, I am, in actuality, writing to the believers.
God orchestrates the lives of those whom God knows will eventually obey Him. These are not many. They are few, though it’s God’s desire for all to be saved.
And this orchestration happens from the time of birth. This is referred to in the holy scriptures as predestination. And without this orchestration none would be saved. Hence its existence.
And this explains why great sways of people have no interest in God whatsoever. God leaves them to their own devices. And plants them in jungles and cities. They are not guided by God. For God only guides those whom He knows will be obedient and obey Him.
Some unbelievers are puzzled by the belief of the believers. But unbelievers do not believe because God has not given them belief. Nor will they be given belief if they intrinsically lack this capacity to be grateful to God by obeying Him.
And though God arranges the life of those who are yet to obey Him, He does not force them to do so. Instead He brings them to a place where repentance is possible. It’s a choice they make of their own free will.
He did this with Paul the apostle on the road to Damascus. Throwing him off his horse and speaking to him audibly knowing Paul would respond favourably.
And whilst some unbelievers like to point out that many became believers because of external circumstances and influences such as coming from a religious family as it was in my case. This did influence my decision to love and obey God.My background played its part. And without it I might not have become a believer.
But God orchestrated my life this way so that I could obey Him. Because within me, albeit unbeknownst to myself, I had this inherent wherewithal to be obedient to God.
And though there are atheists and agnostics along with those who believe in God’s existence but disobey Him, they are what they are, because God has not chosen them, because of their will to not obey Him. And because of this they have been rejected by God.
However though God knows who is predestined, we do not know until it shows up in the life of a believer. Therefore we give everyone the benefit of the doubt by assuming they all are predestined. Sometimes it’s the least likely as it was with the apostle Paul.
But there will be a time to shake the dust off our feet and move on from those who are steadfast in their unbelief.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf To the believers.
Though salvation is only possible with predestination , nevertheless there will be those, albeit very few, who through logic, will arrive at conclusions, that turn them into believers. But these believers will also be predestined.
We do know that all those who go to hell will know they could have become believers if only they loved the truth instead of lies.
A vivid example of lovers of lies is well expressed by the flat earth society. Let’s analyse them. These are people who refuse to entertain any logic that opposes their erroneous belief in the flat earth. But why do they buy into it. Here is the answer.
It’s all about power.
And let’s not underestimate power. Because power is delicious.
In this situation they obtain power from feeling important. And they feel important because they feel very special knowing what many others don’t know. Namely that the world is flat, though it’s not flat.
And in order to maintain this special feeling or power, they have the preference for the earth to be flat. They actually want the earth to be flat. The power has seduced them so much that they refuse to recognise they have this preference for the earth to be flat.
And without this recognition they cannot be reasoned with because logic will not prevail.
But the unbelievers in whatever form they manifest in, are also obtaining power. Their power comes from defying God.
In all rebellion there is power. And they have the preference, in order to maintain their power, to justify their rebellion to God. This might be atheism/agnosticism or simply a refusal to obey God.
And as they have either the preference for God to not exist or the refusal to obey Him, they therefore, because of this preference, cannot be reasoned with.
But for those of them who are in actuality lovers of truth instead of lies, that allow themselves to recognise they are being governed by their preferences, will with their newly found lack of bias, eventually extricate themselves from their rebellion.
But it all begins with the recognition of the preference.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf If you read and studied scripture you would have these answers. In short, Jesus Christ says in Luke 6:
"35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" Read this carefully, Christ speaks about a condition of the heart. If you never knew Christ because you are .001% of the population, you could still follow in his footsteps and may be saved. I should also add that the roman catholic church, that i do not support whatsoever, conquered south america and trust me they all know who Christ is.
Cliffe you are truly a role model to me and have helped me grow so much in my faith, I love you , blessing to you and family ❤❤
Cliff you are a legend bud. Thank you for all that you do. God is amazing.
That story of the French father sacrificing for his son. Wow praise God .

Not as catchy. Maybe try "without lies and deception, athiesm dies in it's conception"
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf No
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf ok
Teachers of Christ,I am Proud of you guys 👍 good work for the GREAT FUTURE that awaits us ALL.... THE MOMENT OF TRUTH
Wow, this was amazing from Cliffe and Stewart. Thank You!
Jesus is so wonderful and good, and there are not enough words to do justice to how awesomely good Jesus is! In this world we get to know more than enough about Jesus to be able to turn to Jesus and be saved by Him if we want, and one thing is certain, Jesus has done the finished work, but we need to receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour! Jesus said, "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, No one comes to the Father but through Me"! ✝ Matthew 3:11 / John 14: 1-12 / Romans 10: 9, 10.
Cliffe and Stuart Rock!
Praise the Lord for the ministry that Jesus gave to Cliffe ❤
When I was a new Christian many years ago I went to see a visiting American preacher in Auckland New Zealand.
And when he got up to speak this is what he said.
“ The purpose of this life is to make sure we get everlasting life. “
And after he said these words he sat down. That was the entirety of his message.
I have never forgotten what he said. Yes we were disappointed by its brevity but we never forgot it.
Profound!

Another absolutely free class these students are getting, and its the best class. Well done again guys
I'm so glad to see you guys went to my hometown. I moved to South Florida literally within a week of this or I would've showed up for some fellowship. Grace and peace to you brothers.
✝️🙏🏽❤️
Hallelujah to JESUS no matter what 🙏
The purpose of life is to honor God (Deuteronomy 6:5/Matthew 22:#7/Mark 12:30/Luke 10:27). He created you, you owe your whole existence to Him (Genesis 1:26/Psalm 139:13); you rebelled against Him (John 3:19) & He STILL died & rose from the dead for you (1 Cor 15). How ungrateful to not worship the One who bent over backwards for your best (Romans 1:18-20). May the triune, infallible, omniscient God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man’s limited knowledge of theories (Romans 1:22)
Why should we trust your fallible man-theory about God?
I'm not in college or anything like that but I absolutely love cliffe and Stuart and wish they would preach in my area
Awesome! We serve a Great GOD!
Young people need this kind of conversation about JESUS.
💯% Amen 🙏
Brothers and sisters in Christ please pray for a young man who was shot in the head for preaching the gospel in Glendale Arizona. He's fighting for his life. He has a family as well! Thank you!
We are here for each other and to serve the Lord.
Thank you!

VERYY NICE
This was so beautiful the black man asking that question made me look it up and now I’m curious to see illustrated version of the Bible so good
To be fruitful and multiply
And to find your way back home❤
Miami schools and universities needs desperately this people
The Word says we are to rid ourselves of iniquity. We have to “Work Out Our Salvation With Fear and Trembling.” In other words, With God’s help and our dedication to live a holy life, we are to work on getting rid of the things that beset us. You smoke? Work on stopping. You watch porn? Work on stopping, etc. Is it easy? NOPE. You can’t do it on your own because the flesh craves what is evil. But with God’s Holy Spirit, the Word, and accountability, you will eventually see change. Will you slip up and sin again? Yes. But it becomes less frequent. To God be the glory.
❤
18:19 look how loving sir cliffe is with others❤
Cliff i have learned lots of things from you, you really helped me keep it up man 💯
AMEN 🙏👊❤️. It's good in December 2023 to see the Knechtle family preaching while people are still chill and respectful even if they disagree at times. As humans we're limited by our physiology and temporal reality but God isn't limited by anything but Himself if The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob exists. Imagine not believing in a Creator in 2023. SILLY ATHEISTS TRIX ARE FOR KIDS 🤣. I love brothers Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle's Apologetics ministry and I'm glad you all enjoy their studies of biblical history and Christianity. It's obviously not the burden of proof for believers but God Himself to meet the burden of proof which He has for us Christian theists despite what Atheists claim are just unsupported claims. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology but I accept micro Evolution such as speciation and adaptation because there's no evidence of macro Evolutionary biology nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
Suffer the children who come unto me...that statement to me says....we will suffer...it's part of life... Jesus related to the suffering as a man. He experienced way more than we ever will...for our sake...that's love!
It's been a year now watching sir cliffe video sharing the gospel of Christ to everyone, no distinction.keep on Sir...Shalum❤

You don't know me, but I've been binging your content for hours at a time during this blizzard we all had, you've helped me realize some of the flaws in my demonination and others as well, I no longer identify myself as a catholic or a eastern traditional Christian, I am a follower of christ, I hope I can afford to get a plane ticket to visit your church soon, I want to meet you guys and thank you personally.

God suffers ?

@@giarose6493
ordained suffering is not personal suffering. You’re making a category error.
It’s utterly irrelevant that Jesus was physically injured. He could not have suffered when he desired for it and ordained it.
You’re completely wrong
God never suffered, this is a false doctrine. Our suffering could also be avoided by stopping sin because sin is what creates pain and suffering. (our own sin and the sin of others)
Some people suffer because of other people’s actions and are completely innocent
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life
Why does God allow evil? Generally we don't say: When the children do evil why do the parents allow it, normally parents don't allow it, but that doesn't prevent the children from acting in evil!
Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -
[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -
(Al-Quran 67: 1-2)
The purpose of life is to recognize GOD..
We as human being and both physically and spiritual
We are beings that are given the power to give everything meaning
We as human beings are purpose givers, we give everything purpose
How do you know that?
@@jasonnoble7302 The only evidence i can give you is for you to “Look at Life)”
Apart from that, the only other evidence i can give, I don’t want anyone to ever go through it..
It’s Anxiety and Depression.
I smoked weed less that 5 times in my life
And on the last time, i saw things and experienced things I spiritually couldn’t handle.
But in that moment when i felt like i had no purpose, when it felt like suicide was the best option even though i was scared I would’ve done it, i realised that things mustn’t be this way and that i can change it..
From the beginning of my decline, i was scared and always in prayers up until the end i am still im prayers. I self healed from anxiety and depression
Of course it wasn’t alone
I had my family and friends around and most importantly, GOD.
I say i self healed because
I only took 1 pill from the dozen antidepressants pills i was given and after the negative feeling it gave me, I burned the rest.
The rest of the healing was all me and my God…
It was my toughest year and my toughest journey.. i went through every withdrawal symptom even though it was just 1 pill i took. That is my point here
The fact that i gave it so much purpose that after 1 pill, i went through everything i saw people would go through after quitting drugs cold turkey..
If i wasn’t a purpose giver, i wouldn’t have given all of it that much meaning and would probably have no thoughts or effect towards any of it.
One other thing i can tell you is
When you experience depersonalisation/derealisation, you begin to understand that this life is not yours, it’s God’s life..
He gave it to you, it doesn’t belong to you.
He created you, it wasn’t by your power..
So why go against your creator, be humble, the same way you all want AI to be humble lmao.
Just serve HIM!!!🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️
Job was put through tribulation, that is part of this life. It isn’t a correlation that people rejected God at some previous point. This life has a purpose and part of it is to overcome the opposition of tribulation and find joy from hope in a just future, patience, and trust that things can be made right even if their is some fault and obscuring now of God’s perfection. To have faith in God is to trust what God says is true and part of what God says to us is to “be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
Yay we got a new camera
I was just thinking about that lol
been depressed lately please pray for me
I think God allows us to go through things because through pain there is growth through struggle there is maturity. If he automatically took these things away from us we wouldn't have the process of growing and becoming Stronger by working our way through them and the Holy Spirit is there to hold our hand and guide us the whole way.
We must also remember the Bible says a man of faith will fall down seven times and get back up several times.
How can we be tested if God saves us from the test?
God bless you
I also struggle in my thought life. The bible says Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:7-8). Eventually that demon that is hounding you with these thoughts will know that you will NOT have ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! (I say to my self and sometimes out loud when i have a nasty or perverse thought. "I rebuke that thought in Jesus name, " or "I rebuke you satan and i plead the blood over that thought in Jesus name."
The battle begins in our minds and we have to squash those devils fast in Jesus name! Lusting after women is when you just not look at them and think they are beautiful and that is fine, it is when you go into your mind and imagine you and them in sexual positions, That is when it becomes sin. I used to masterbate and watch pornagraphy and those demons come back and they try to get back in, but I WILL RESIST THEM THE REST OF MY LIFE in JESUS NAME.!!!
Surely the you will be victorious. You’re onto it. Keep up the good fight.
I'm sure this is the last thing people are looking at but the motion in these videos are blurry. This is either due to the shutter speed being too slow and/or the fact it was rendered for old TV formats (via interlacing or certain codecs). There's a few programs that can fix both issues, some even baked into mainstream software.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved
I'm about to travel 2 hours just to ask cliffe Bible questions that I've had my entire life
Looking for a pat on the back
Pat pat
👏
what are the questions
I worship Jesus…but I- too- struggle with lust and not knowing what I want to do with my life. Lord…please have mercy on me 😢.
Your debt has been paid.
Your chains to sin, broken.
You are forgiven.
You are not your sin.
Create a battle plan.
Rage war on it.
No mercy for sin.
Only Christ.
Push forward, inch by inch.
Find men of God and lock shields with them.
@@JoshuaDuke …thanks man. I really need that-especially the last part. May Christ be with you, as well.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf well said! …thank the Lord he cleans us when we seek him.
@@robertmitchell-tv5yf I guess I was the chief of the sin of the lust of the flesh. And it took years to be free of it. Too many years. But perhaps if I knew how wonderful it is to be without it, I would have been free of it sooner. It’s the grace of God that eventually takes it away. But in my case I have also benefited from understanding women in a way I didn’t previously understand. I thought they were like men thinking they were also desirous of being fornicators. But when I realised that in actuality they were only accomodating men’s desires, it changed my attitude towards them in a most beneficial way. If we allow ourselves to appraise women correctly, by recognising that whilst we are equals, nevertheless they are weaker-this realisation prevents us from needing to feel important by debasing them with fornication. Hence lustful desires subside.
Jesus has it purpose of living and teaching
To the guy fighting thoughts he doesn't want to have.. we live in a fallen world and propaganda is absolutely everywhere and it comes in many forms. The slippery slope started many decades ago and it's been accelerating ever since. "Culture" is programing us and I'm sure God understands this. Fighting these thoughts must be pleasing to God because it directly implies that you choose Him over sin. The important thing is to not entertain these thoughts, do not let them take root and/or allow them to take action. Fighting these thoughts begin with unplugging from social media, the news, mainstream movies (especially horror), anime, pron and playing foul videogames. Easier said than done, I know. I'm fighting as well. I just wish that I realized this 20+ years sooner..
Thx Amen 🙏
Amen God Bless you thank you for the words of wisdom. Indeed fighting these thoughts must be pleasing to God because it means we choose him over sin. Thank you for this answer and Thank you God for you.
