0:00 - Intro
1. 0:35 {How to have More Self Control} You mentioned in a past session the issue of “becoming slaves to our desires” instead of "just doing the right things we don't feel like doing." Whether it’s reading Scripture, doing the housework, eating the right things, etc., I struggle with this daily, and my whole house is a disaster. Please, can you offer some advice on how to target this issue?
2. 12:27 {Is Marriage Required after Kissing or Sex?} Some say that because my ex-boyfriend and I French kissed, we must marry. We broke up 2 years ago and he didn't answer when I asked to talk. I want to be free to marry someone else, but I'm scared to sin against God. Help. How can I know I am free?
3. 16:34 {Why Isn’t the Greek OT More Authoritative?} Why isn’t the Greek Old Testament more authoritative? Its manuscripts are older and are referenced in the New Testament. E.g., Jesus mentions Greek version of Isaiah 61 with “blind” in Luke 4: 18.
4. 20:54 {Is it Unfair that Certain People Receive God’s Forgiveness?} People in my life push against "saved by faith alone" asking “How can people like Hitler accept Jesus right before death and then go and sit in Heaven next to Mother Teresa? How do I address that?
5. 26:47 {About the Elect & The Tribulation} Can you be saved but not elect? I’m confused by Mark 13: 20. Will the elect be taken by the rapture, or will they suffer during the Tribulation?
6. 30:35 {Is Self-Forgiveness Biblical?} Any thoughts on self-forgiveness? Do you think it’s biblical?
7. 34:33 {Is Contraception Sinful?} Why do people say there is no biblical basis against contraception when God kills Onan for it (Genesis 38: 8-10)? And the punishment for that is not death according to Deuteronomy 25:7-10.
8. 41:07 {About Parachurch Ministries / CRU} What do you think of parachurch organizations like Cru? They don't seem biblical to me because they assume the duties of a local church. I would love to know what you think.
9. 43:35 {About Conviction of Sin} How can someone know if they are truly feeling convicted about something? I am trying to get right with God, and I sometimes feel everything I do is damning. I don’t want to sugarcoat things - I want to be realistic.
10. 48:41 {Will we See the Father & Jesus in Heaven?} Jesus said that no one has seen the Father except Himself. Do you think when we get to Heaven, that we will be able to see the Father, as well as Jesus?
11. 50:48 {Did Moses Write in Hebrew or Hieroglyphics?} I am curious about the theory that Moses wrote in Egyptian Hieroglyphics, not Hebrew. Arguing for an oral tradition, not a written text. I had never heard this before, and I'm a little baffled.
12. 52:47 {Scriptural Support for Continuationism} Is there Scripture that supports being a Continuationist? I am a "soft-charismatic," but personal experience is not convincing to a Cessasionist claiming I'm being unbiblical, or even heretical.
13. 56:30 {Could a Gentile Become a Jew in the OT?} In the Old Testament, God worked with the Israelites. Could a Gentile become a Jew in the Old Testament and be saved?
14. 59:52 {Can Christians Marry Non-Christians?} Would you recommend marrying someone of a different religion? Say, Seventh Day Adventist, for example?
15. 1:02:51 {About the Fall of Satan} How could the devil fall, being perfect (moral excellence), knowing the full comprehension of God? How could he even think evil thoughts?
16. 1:05:14 {About the “Lying Spirit” in 1 Kings} How do you interpret the lying spirit in 1 kings 22?
17. 1:12:26 {Theism vs. Biblical Christianity} I’m a theist, but I am not a Christian. What are some attributes of God? And how does Jesus exhibit them in specific situations in the Bible? Could you please pray that God gives me confirmation in my mind of the deity of Jesus? Or at least whether or not Jesus rose from the dead. No matter the evidence, I can’t tell. I want the truth.
18. 1:16:10 {About the International Christian Church} My wife and I recently left the International Christian Church (ICC). Do you know about this group, and what advice would you give us, moving forward?
19. 1:18:59 {How to Honor our Leaders} How do we actually honor leaders that we find personally dishonorable? Some find President Trump dishonorable, and some find President Biden dishonorable. What does honoring them actually entail?
20. 1:24:58 {Why Doesn’t God Reveal Himself to More People?} If Jesus can show Himself to Paul, why can’t He show Himself to everyone?

Hey Mike! Always love your teaching.
Audio comment: can you please turn your gain up 4 or 5 dB? It’s a little bit soft for a talking level.
Mike, I love your channel. You really do help us think biblically.
I wish I could ask you this question:
Why do you call yourself "Pastor Mike"? There is no biblical precedent for using ministry gifts as titles. We never read anyone addressed as "Prophet Jeremiah" or "Pastor Peter" or "Apostle Paul" or "Evangelist Philip" in the Bible. Doesn't the use of titles lead to a clergy-laity mindset such as the Catholics have, which they got from Gnosticism?
Thank you for letting us know the timestamps Sarah because I just got out of work and I'm tired.
Thank you brother Mike Winger for your work in the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏❤️.
Thank you brother Mike Winger for uploading this video dude and your work in the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏❤️. People who use The Scriptures to justify such treatment of others especially their own children and spouses are despicable in my opinion. I really appreciate your Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content . This has nothing and everything 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 fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. 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 " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it 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.
I am a person with severe Dyslexia. I was not able to study the Bible. And no one understood. They called my lazy. Until someone showed me the reading function on the Bible app and the Lord gave my a part of scripture to unpack and it has made a hug change. Also listen to paster that do verse by verse study.
Audio Bibles.
I used to teach sixth grade English, and while I was restricted in my ability to share my faith with my students, there is no law against students sharing their faith in class. One of my favorite moments was when my student with dyslexia opened his Bible in the library and the rest of the class came and sat around to hear him read it aloud. He stumbled through it with determination and boldness, and every student in the class listened with absolute patience. I was so impressed by him that day.
I love this. My husband will say he learned to read by reading the Bible as a 24 year old new believer.
David Suchet the British actor who plays Poirot, has narrated the whole Bible beautifully. It is here on you tube.
@@deborahgonzalezknight168 I know this one. David has a better voice then the app.
Not wanting to minimize all of your hard work, but your wisdom is 100% fruit of the Holy Spirit…May God richly bless you🙏
Some time ago I was thinking how born again christians, when they‘re being quoted, it ideally should read - let‘s take Mike Winger as an example; if he‘d be quoted after the quote it would say: Mike winger, Spirit-lead.. or.. Mike Winger through the Holy Spirit.. or… Mike Winger, Holy Spirit (co-authorship in a sense).. I haven‘t found the ideal one yet but I think the idea has some merit. Only quoting the human but not God who lives in said human doesn‘t seem right 😄
Mike's hard work is abiding in the vine and I think would happily give all credit to the Holy Spirit for his wisdom.
@miriam mura, I think that could be dangerous. I see you wanting to give glory to God for his truth and wisdom but can you image someone quoting Joel Osteen by the power of the Holy Spirit says thus.
@@miriammura9549 The Holy Spirit *is* God. He's provides the fruits (to true Christians) from an indwelling position.
When a Christian is ministering, the idea is to "decrease as God increases" within them, so as to talk right in the Lord.
I believe that Pastor Mike is correct in admitting to the imperfection in humankind--including himself.
I don't know about measuring percentages of vessel-ship either. I know that many have found blessing here, as God and the Scriptures are center-stage and the Spirit of God certainly runs all up down and through this ministry.
But, again, the comment did reverence God the Holy Spirit. 🙏
Glory to God always
I don't always agree with all of Mike's opinions or interpretations of scripture or theology, but I'll be hard-pressed to find any other notable "UA-cam Pastor" who delivers ideas, opinions, and teachings as kindly, gently, and without harshness as him, and that is sorely appreciated.
Check out Robert Clifton Robinson. His website might be one of the best online
Different format from Mike but lots of Audio as well as written material. Like Mike, a really nice guy with a deep anointing in the Holy Spirit. Best go to his website as very limited content on here. Bless.
@@Gamefan86 Somebody enjoyed their purchase of "Zeitgeist!"
@@Gamefan86 you’re really with this. In regards to Christianity, every statement you’ve made here has been debunked. Mike has a video on his channel explaining it.
@@Gamefan86 Any one that has to write comments the length of a book, is a person full of hot air.
@@sheilasmith7779 and then reply to all comments to the video with the exact same comment. Along with the occasional smart aleck remark . . . What a sad hobby.
Yes! "Acknowledge we are forgiven, not forgive ourselves" love the content
Amen that’s so true. We are saved and forgiven by grace, and not of our selves
“Blessed is he who believes and has not seen”
Amen
To understand scripture and receive revelation, is, seeing God xxx
Amen
@@Gamefan86 this is very lost and miss guided diatribe
@@Gamefan86 I am sorry you do not understand. I had faith without proof for most of my life until he proved it to me through the most amazing miracle words cannot describe, not of this earth and no I cannot prove it to you. Peace. Eventually I will share more on my channel.
Hi Mike, thank you for pushing through your own laziness. I'm so glad you did, and do, because your content has brought so much hope and clarity into my life. Your answer to question #1 left me in tears. My husband and I both struggle with laziness, but we also have chronic health issues that affect our daily lives. We never have energy. Basic tasks can be a struggle each day. As you can imagine this doesn't pair well with laziness. I often wonder how to make sense of these two things. But I knew God was speaking to me tonight when you were finishing up answering the question, you quoted Matthew 6:33-34. This verse has meant so much to my husband and I ever since we were saved. Through your encouragement I knew God was telling me "I love you, let's take it from here!"...no matter big the bucket and how small the drops, we can rest assured God won't give up on us. Can't thank you enough brother.
Please consider googling Dr. Livingood for advice...good health to you.
Thank you
@@Gamefan86 None of what you just said is true. The Son us not the Sun. The sun was created by God, the Son. The Bible has some symbolism, but is not entirely sy.bolic. Read Protestand Biblical b Interpretation by B ernard Ramm.
My Brother, My Brother, I so needed to hear your advice about that first question. I have been struggling so much lately, like at the lowest state mentally of my life. God bless you Brother Mike.
Amen I just prayed for God to give you new strength and continued strength to break your laziness and ti be productive
Commenting to first question..made me think if that person may be struggling with ADHD. In ADHD the executive function is compromised substantially and their motivation is very low to complete or begin tasks. That’s why they wait until the urgency of the last minute to finally get to things. There are so many resources to help those people and would encourage that person to consider a diagnosis. That may explain their issues and help them understand why the struggle is so paramount verses a neurotypical person who can just do those things you recommended and be good. Like for a person with ADHD, they need lots of support and tools such as ones given to overcome these challenges including even possibly medication.
LOVE your channel! Thank you for all you do! God bless!
As someone who has symptoms of ADD, I totally agree. Even going after the resources is a task lol. No excuses, but it's not fair to dismiss one's struggle because you (the one dismissing) don't experience it.
I have ADD (no H in my case) to a pretty severe degree, as well as an extreme case of vehophobia (fear of operating motor vehicles) and social anxiety. I focus on prayerfully overcoming what God does give me the ability to overcome, and try not to "beat myself up" for not being able to do things nearly as well as a "normal" person can, though that is a major struggle. Thankfully, God has blessed me with an overnight security job that allows me to support myself financially, drive only at night when traffic is minimal, and only interact with a handful of people most of the time. That allows me to be financially self-supporting, at least, rather than being a burden on others. The trouble with "resources" is that they cost money I don't have, and require processes I literally fear more than death. Also, I was tried on medications when I was younger, and none of them had any effect on me.
I don't have any mental conditions that prevent me from interpreting anything socially or intellectually but I have an older brother who's high functioning autistic so I've always cared for him and sought his best interest because people will try to take advantage of his good work ethic and naivety. Thank you brother Mike Winger for uploading this video dude and your work in the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏❤️.

I had the same thought. When you don’t know about your ADHD life is so hard, but because you don’t know it any other way you think that’s normal for everyone. Gotten diagnosed few years ago and everything makes so much sense now. Learning more and more to get sensible for the way God created me and praising him for that.
@@fortissima94 i delay what is important for me right at the moment. And procrastinate doing useless things. Does this get better?
I never thought about the concept of forgiving yourself as being the incorrect way to think about forgiveness. But this makes sense to me. Thanks!
Amen I just prayed for God to give you new strength and continued strength to break your laziness
@@johnlewis8934 hi John. Thank you for praying for me. Why do you think I'm lazy?
I wanted to thank you so much for your channel ministry. It has blessed my life in numerous ways. We came out from Mormonism 6 years ago after being raised in that 'church'. Channels such as yours helps us so much to understand what The Faith and the true gospel is. Myself, husband, and all three of our children have all come to Christ and been completely transformed. I love what you say here in regards to the transforming work of God. we have experienced this and will forever be grateful to God for his salvation and transforming work in our lives.
You will probably never meet me and would not pick me out in a crowd. That being said I have been watching you since I was touched by God.
Even though I know you’ll probably never hear this ….. I want to be more like you and I’ve learned so much from your videos. (That Dude who said you should give up the UA-cam dream…….. tell him about me) my life has been completely altered and I am so very grateful for what you do.
Left the original livestream a month ago during Q1 after feeling convicted. Living a life of perpetual procrastination & other self-control issues (college student).
I think im ready to watch & learn this valuable information. Thanks Mike 👍
Q14: Marriage of a Christian to a non-Christian is prohibited ("do not be unequally yoked", and the bulk of 1 Cor 7), but I wouldn't consider the SDA to necessarily be non-Christians. But even among Christian denominations, I'd think it highly unwise (perhaps not outright prohibited) to marry one of a sufficiently different tradition that you couldn't worship together. And even in a closer case--if you're Baptist and she's Presbyterian, and you have kids, you're going to come to terms on how and when to baptize them. It's better if you reach agreement on this before you're really committed to each other than after--and if you can't, it's better that you know *that* sooner than later.
Q2: There's no scripture that directly addresses French kissing. Certainly at some point (and at some point short of actual intercourse), sexual activity outside of marriage is a sin. But that doesn't obligate the couple to marry--subsequent marriage doesn't retroactively make the activity not-sin, the activity doesn't constitute marriage, nor does it obligate you to marry. If you believe you sinned in doing this, repent of your sin, but you aren't married to your ex-boyfriend, nor are you obligated to marry him.
Well said!
Just wanna point to something I learned recently in a Tommy Nelson sermon, Song of Solomon 4:11a says "Your lips drip nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue", which sure sounds like a French kiss to me! So perhaps there is precedent for that to be reserved for marriage, though of course that would be more of a wisdom than a sin thing.
And of course I agree wholeheartedly that there's no compulsion for you to marry someone you crossed boundaries with; Jesus saves, girl. "Fear not, for you will not be ashamed; be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more." Isaiah 54:4
@@Sharpman76 That's an interesting point on Song of Solomon 4:11--I don't think we could really take from that a strict limitation of that activity to marriage, but it might lead that way.
But I was largely intending to leave open the question of where the line is. I'd say it's pretty clearly somewhere past holding hands, and certainly if you're getting naked together you've gone too far. But there really are two, or maybe even three, lines to consider. There's some point at which the activity is objectively sin--where that point is can be hard to determine, but (again) if you're getting naked together (ignoring bizarre edge cases), you've passed it. This line is sin regardless of what your conscience may tell you. The second line is the line of your conscience--for example, if you believe it's wrong for an unmarried couple to French kiss, and you do it anyway while unmarried, it is sin for you. This is the principle of Romans 14:23. Whichever of these is the more restrictive controls. The third line is the line of wisdom. It may not be sinful, exactly, for a dating couple to spend lots of time alone in a private setting, but it probably isn't a very good idea.
It sounds like whoever gave Q2 this advice to marry has a very distorted view of scripture and relationships and should be steered clear of!
I don't see "forgiving oneself" in the bible. I hear people say "God forgave me but now I have to forgive myself." I think that train of thought is a lack of faith in Jesus forgiving you. Thanks Mike for explaining this.
I've always been humbled to the core by those sins
I Was Not Aware Of Until I Witnessed It In someone else .This becomes my first chance , every time, to Witness to them about GOD'S GRACE ...🥚🐣🐤🐥🕊 repeatedly 🥚🐣🐤🐥🕊
The Hitler question always makes me think of Paul, who was saved after overseeing the genocide of many Christians. He spent the rest of his life defending his ministry and working to prove himself because of this exact sort of question. Not only was he truly saved, but the Lord decided to entrust him with a significant leadership role, setting him up as a clear witness to God’s great mercy and ability to completely redeem any person
I was busy typing out how if I lack motivation I tell myself do it to glorify God I have chronic pain from medical complications and I often wake up feeling as if I can’t get up today. But I pray in that moment that the Holy Spirit help me motivate me give me strength and this leads me to do Bible study and before I know it I got through the day cleaning and being productive within even thinking about it just truly keeping my mind occupied with scripture and prayer… this blows my mind every day so at night I am in awe of how amazing it is to have the Holy Spirit guide you and strengthen you because I am 💯 confident in the fact that God carried me through another day and couldn’t have done normal everyday tasks without Him so this makes me so grateful for His grace and love. So yes what Mike said do all things as if unto the Lord start by just setting an alarm earlier and spend time praying even if it is just “ Lord give me strength, Holy Spirit help me bare the fruit of the spirit so I may be the salt and the light, use me Lord I surrender my thoughts and actions to Your will” Jordan Peterson did a biblical series about how Scripture gives your life meaning and how it helps you to find order in your chaos I can really recommend it.
I get compliments on how clean my house is so some people might not believe it but I often struggle with laziness too. My house is definitely not always 100% clean but I have found ways to make chores much more enjoyable. Actually one of the ways is putting in headphones and listening to UA-cam videos like this one. I have a much more positive outlook on life when I'm focusing on a video that glorifies God.
Yes! Podcasts like this are my motivator to clean! 😆
Same! I love listening to Mike’s podcasts while my son is napping and I’m cleaning up. Sometimes when my husband gets home early he will take the kids to the park while I cook dinner and listen! Listening to this podcast, among others, is so uplifting and keeps my mind thinking deeper throughout the week!
@@anonymousbosch586 Haha! Same.
Keep up the good work! Your ministry has been a blessing
I REALLY appreciate these Q and A sessions. They're helping me fill in some blanks, thinks about things from different perspectives and increase my understanding of Scripture.
I’ve been thinking about getting out of bed early…but this means I must sleep early, stay away from blue light in the evening, get my things laid out the night before (for bible and prayer, sleep up in exercise clothes, coffee ready)
I finally just finished watching ALL of the videos on your channel. I been watching them one by one for over a month now and just got to the end. Great stuff. Glad I'm all caught up since I only just subscribed and found you a few months ago.
Which series did you enjoy the most/get the most out of?
@@levifox2818 I loved many of them but I would probably go with the Mark series, followed closely by Jesus in the old testament.
@@Gamefan86
I’m not sure if you’re just trying to be funny or not, so I’ll respond as if you’re serious.
First, Christianity (which came from Judaism) existed well before the December 25 date was used for the celebration of Jesus birth. And even then, that’s not the date of the resurrection of Christ, which was during Passover time.
Second, most of the other similarities you draw have no significance. Walking on water = the sun’s reflection? Coming on the clouds = sun rays? I could probably prove your life was a copy from sun worship with this level of comparison.
Third, I’d be great if you could name all the savior miracle workers who had twelve disciples independent of Christianity-there are few to none.
In conclusion, you really need to do more research and use a little more common sense.
If you want to discuss Christianity, I’d love to converse with you in a respectful manner. If you’re just trying to be a troll, you’re probably waisting your time with this one.
@@levifox2818 I immediately ignored his ramblings/lies. He left 41 comments on the channel that all say the same thing. I'm pretty sure that falls under the spam category and should warrant some sort of report.
Mike, please keep pushing through your barriers, your work has helped me so much in regard to laziness. Thank you, God bless you!
Hi Mike Winger ☺️ Loved the show. I really liked how you explained Hitler and Mother Theresa how we are all sinners no matter what, and our salvation comes only through faith in Christ.
Hey Mike, i'm just gonna do a little word dump here...
For about 2 years now i have been working every sunday and haven't had the chance to go to church, though i really miss the days i would go and it weighs on my heart. I work 3 jobs, 1 requires me to work every sunday, the other requires me to work 5-7pm most nights of the week and the other requires 12 hour shifts on mondays and tuesdays so i am so hard pressed to find a church/fellow ship to join. I know you disapprove of your ministry being the equivalent to church for many followers but i learn so much from your videos and you have helped me so much by spreading the word of the gospel.
I promise you wont be one of my only sources of biblical knowledge for long but for all the months you have helped me, thank you.
I’m really grateful that my ministry has helped you in this season. May God open a door for more fellowship in your life.
@@MikeWinger it’s funny you mention that, I think he has just this week opened a door for me to pursue the career I’ve been working towards - without compromising my Sundays. He works in mysterious and wonderful ways, it’s an awesome feeling to know my prayers are being heard. God Bless you and your ministry Mike ❤️
The Bible-based wisdom of your last comments on #6 can be seriously life changing. I wrote it down to remember, ponder, and then share.
Wow question #6. Yes! Acknowledge my forgiveness. More forward. Stop sinning! It’s isn’t us, it’s Him who allows us to move forward and walk with Him!
The question about satan (question 15 I think)……I would recommend Dr Michael Heiser …..he really rocked my whole world view
The real lazy man hears GOD say “ First take care of your house” and even then I only get half done and move on. Here’s my problem is that it can be perfectly clean and I am perfectly capable but I quit after it’s “good enough” and I need to change my attitude because I fear that what you said about major character issues might apply to me. I loved the teaching thanks for sharing GOD Bless and continue being a light for us in the dark. You’re much appreciated by the lonely and the lost, loved and the righteous.
Obsessive is just as bad as indifferent .
As for forgiving yourself, there is another element to this. My wife had been party to some very bad things before she knew Christ, and some of those things left lifelong scars on her children. There came a point when she approached a Pastor we trusted about this, and he said what was in my mind, that she had to forgive herself. She started off saying that she knew that she was forgiven because of the Cross, but what she didn't understand was that she was still holding her sins against herself, regardless of the forgiveness of Jesus. The fact was, she felt so guilty about hurting her children, that she wasn't able to rest in God's forgiveness until she realized that she needed to have compassion for her former self, and accept that she was forgiven, receive that forgiveness, AND AGREE WITH THAT FORGIVENESS. So yes, we can condemn ourselves for what we have been already forgiven for, and we need to accept that we are forgiven, and forgive ourselves - not in arrogance, but in humility, accepting God's judgment that we have His mercy.
I think Pastor Mike’s point was that “forgive yourself” isn’t the best phrase for it. Accepting the graciousness of forgiveness is more accurate. In concept I agree almost entirely, but the wording can lead to strange ideas. Many people legitimately believe we are ultimately accountable to ourselves.
@@levifox2818 : Yes, I see Pastor Mike's point (and yours), and I agree. The element that I am referring to is more like condemnation than anything, where you feel AGAINST yourself, that you are bad, or you feel terrible about what you've done, and you hold it against yourself, or judge yourself as evil, even though you have repented. This is separate from what Mike was referring to, and is something I myself have had to work through.
It took the Lord about a solid month of constantly telling me that His mercy endures forever, and that I am forgiven, before I could accept that I was forgiven. Truth be told, there's a part of my heart still struggling with forgiving myself, even though I know I am forgiven by God, and He has reminded me that He is the Judge, and not myself. This makes not forgiving myself an act of pride, because humility is agreeing with God. The thing is, the consequences of my sin have created such sadness in me, that even over a year later I am still struggling inside. Without God's forgiveness, I would have zero chance of forgiving myself and getting past it. As it stands, I have good days and bad days, and I continually work to agree with God in my heart, and not stumble into self-condemnation anymore. This is what I am referring to, and it is a very different thing than what Mike referred to. I don't know how many people struggle with forgiveness, but I can understand now why they do. Sometimes we can disappoint ourself so utterly, that it becomes very difficult not to hold it against ourself.
Unfortunately Christians tends to do this weird thing where they will only acknowledge one of the several meanings of a word or expression and then condemn people for using those other meanings.
Yes only the forgiveness of God can erase a sin and yet in scriptures we are told for forgive others. So clearly the bible acknowledges both the type of forgiveness that erase sins and the type of forgiveness connected to letting go of resentment and other negative feelings.
And that forgiveness that we re supposed to extend to others we also have to extend it to ourself when we are the one those negative feelings are directed toward.
This is not being self-centered, this is not being prideful, this is accepting the healing for our souls that comes from God.
@@alexmarysaint2523 : Yes, you get it. Thanks for writing this, because it's difficult when no one seems to understand. Glad that you do, and I hope you are okay with yourself now. Blessings in Christ.
I also think there are times when we need to have compassion on ourselves but don’t need forgiveness from Christ because our actions weren’t necessarily sinful, just emotionally painful. For instance I had an accident at work while I was pregnant that led to complications, everything turned out okay but we both almost died. Had my son died I would have struggled with a lot of guilt, but that guilt wasn’t due to any sin. What happened was an accident, no one was at fault. A mother might struggle to forgive herself for giving a child up for adoption even though it was the best option at the time. Many people feel guilt over the decision to euthanize a pet or to discontinue life support from a loved one. This isn’t because the choice was sinful or wrong but just because it was emotionally painful. So I think it’s a little more complicated than Mike had time to address.
Thank You for edifying us Pastor Mike
Thank you, Mike.
I really appreciate your ministry. Thank you for what you do, and those who help- thank you!
Enjoyed the commentary !!! God Bless!!!!!
What a beautiful song.
Powerful message thanks Rod
#4. Wow. Needed to hear this! Amen 🙏🏼!
I had closed head injuries in 1991. GOD used this to stick my head in HIS WORD. HE hardwired my brain with WORD references and a few key words. Having been abused sexually many times, healing was important.
thank you for your practical Biblical answers
Thank-you pastor Mike, it's 2:30am and I was anxious and bothered by the fact I failed to finish my 4 year apprenticeship. I did it for 2 years and half way through I stopped because of the lion on the street and lost two years, i would have finished this time this year. I start the journey again this thursday May the Lord give me the grace to finish what I began and hopefully 2024 i will be qualified by Gods grace. pray for me🙏
I’ll pray for you
@@auntieb02359 I appreciate you 🙏 and may the Lord give you victory
Regarding the first question there are a number of external causes possible for this other than laziness, it could be depression, undiagnosed anaemia or even ADHD.
I've had some severe anaemia from lack of proper nutrition and I spent all day sleeping, I could not find motivation for anything. It took me a long while to realise I was not just being lazy but it was actually a serious health issue.
Now with a proper diet I have energy and motivation again.
Thank you so much for what you do Pastor Mike!!!
In regard to the first question, some people who are neuro diverse (like Asperger’s / autism) may have problems with executive functioning and the outcome is not being able to follow through or finish things. It’s not a character flaw in that case, but a brain issue and therapy can help with it.
You're awesome pastor.
Great wisdom thank you Pastor Mike.
So helpful today in my little life. Thank you.
Thank you for doing these questions and answers sessions. Interesting to see where others are in their interests and questions. You are blessing us all so much!
The first question hit home. I appreciate the motivational speech.
The first one could also be signs of a few different medical conditions. I have a thyroid disorder and lack of motivation is a common early warning sign.
Thanks for the response on the contraception question.
I believe that we should look at the heart of Onan and the heart of married couples who want no children (deeming themselves "child free"). It seems that Onan's motivation was rejecting the authority of his father and selfishness for his own gain. It seems to me that married couples who actively work to ensure zero children are rebelling against the natural creation of their Father God and are usually acting out of selfishness in not wanting the extra work or "inconvenience" of children.
I think it is a different situation than couples who already have children and obviously for women whose lives would be endangered by pregnancy. I think Catholics are closer to God's intention that all married couples should be open to God blessing them with children. Whether or not he does is up to him not us. We just follow God in purity whether it is celibacy in singleness or intimacy with our spouse in marriage.
Separating the sex act from procreation has created many of the horrible social problems we see today with promiscuity, unwed pregnancy, abortion, and fatherlessness which leads to poverty, gangs, drug use, and prison.
Thanks again!
@@Gamefan86 Christianity is based upon the historical person named Yeshua of Nazareth called the Messiah who lived, died, and- according to much historical evidence- also rose again. Christianity is an outgrowth and fulfillment of the true Jewish religion which goes back approximately 1500-2000 years before the birth of Jesus, and Christians accept the Jewish Scriptures as authoritative as well as the New Testament which details Jesus' life, how the Jewish Scriptures were fulfilled, and how we are to live our lives. Through Jesus, the worship of the one true God has spread all over the world just as the Scriptures prophesied. God bless.
As a more/less cessationist Calvinist Baptist who married a continuist Armenian Charismatic (and started attending her church), I can tell you two things:
1) It shouldn't be a deal-breaker
2) It is a source of endless frustration and controversy
Love these videos!
Well done!! And so helpful!! Thank you, Mike!!😊❤️
Thank you, Lord, the message is received and understood. Thank you too, Mike, I needed this message at this time.
This was excellent. Thank you.
I hope this can get seen by anonymous question #1, there is a lady, calls herself “The Flylady” she’s a believer and has developed an amazing system for tackling cleaning your house. There are a ton of videos on UA-cam both from her and others who have used and adapted her system. Hope you see this and it helps.
I used the flylady system whilst I cared for my mum in law until she passed a couple of years ago...it helped me be able to carry on even on the worst days 🙏
Yes, I would recommend The Secret Slob and The Awkward Mom here on UA-cam, they both utilize The Flylady System
For me, it was just getting rid of extra stuff! If my kids cannot put away all of their toys in a reasonable timeframe, we have too many toys.
Thank you, for doing what you do. Words rarely do a good job expressing the heart. I love ya brother, in Christ. See you in glory.
I absolutely love your videos. I pull my Bible. I take notes. This is sooooo good Pastor! I appreciate how God is working through you. Just know it’s reaching His people. It is! It’s good!
Stopped watching to do my homework haha
Just paused at 12:27; thank you Mike.
Great videos brother ✝️🙏🏿
Thank you very much. Very helpful. Glad you did study God's word. Yes, do it as into the Lord, good reminder.
Thank you!
Great answer on "forgiving ourselves" - it is so important to understand the concept of no longer being under condemnation for our sin because of the forgiveness we have receieved through faith in Christ and His work on the cross. Thank you for your ministry!
I love that you aren’t afraid to say that you don’t know something.
I love question 4. In light of "how can (insert worst sinner here) be forgiven?" we look at perfect Christ pierced for our transgressions. Seems just when you think about it that way, and oh what hope we have in context of the Gospel. Praise God!
Ty Pastor Mike
To God YWWH be all the Glory 🙌
Amen an Amen in the Holy name of Yeshua 🙏
God does reach us in ways that are unique to us. He appeared to Paul blinding him.
The running analogy is absolutely on point and the feeling that comes after you’ve pushed through the wall, is called; getting your second wind. It’s amazing how much wind you get.
Thank God for you Mike. I really appreciate all the work you do and your heart for God to be glorified and for people to be walking faithfully with him. I needed to hear the word today on self control. I pray God continues to bless your ministry to the glory of the name of Jesus Christ! Thanks for your humble attitude and hard work for the Kingdom of God.
Had a bad week I thank God I heard this🙏
Although disagree with a few things in the later parts..
🙏
About the Hitler and mother Theresa question, we would be rewarded for how we serve Christ here on earth. I cannot say that I know for sure Mother Theresa was saved, and doing good deeds apart from salvation doesn't guarantee anyone a place in heaven. " Except a man is born again, he will not enter the kingdom of God."
Thank you so much. I can work hard away from home, but working to clean my room stresses me. This video I think helps point me not to stress over how where I put stuff now might make my life harder in the future. I can just clean my room, and if placement becomes a problem perhaps I can just fix it when I come to it.
Like always.... great video Pastor Mike. 🇿🇦
Thank you so much for all you do. One minute you say something that brings tears to my eyes and the next minute you make me laugh. This video was so relevant, I am watching a week late, but so glad I made the time today to watch. Forgiving ourselves means absolutely nothing if we don't have God's forgiveness that is all that matters. Never thought of it this way. Thank you God for pastor Mike and God bless him and his crew, Amen.
48:47 I loved the answer to question 10 that was beautiful. God us so good I can’t wait to be close to him and a knowledge him and praise him in all of his glory ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
"Go out of bed" (me, lying in my bed on saturday morning)
Thank you so much for this video. I struggle with this ALL THE TIME! Even when doing something I like to do because everything is "overwhelming" I'm going to take that word out of my vocabulary, make my to-do list, ignore my feelings and check things off as I go. I know I'll feel better when everything is done.
Regarding the first question -- no matter WHY you are struggling to keep your house clean or your life in order, may I suggest 2 resources? The book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, and the housecleaning system called "FlyLady" -- the UA-cam channels Diane in Denmark, and The Secret Slob are great places to learn that one.
Also clutterbug, she's self confessed lazy so she's made it easy to keep things nice.
Flylady is my favourite though ❤️
I Corinthians 13 talks about cessation of certain gifts. Dr. John Barnett has a great message on that. Just recently listened to it.
God Bless you Pastor Mike!!! This video explains what God has been telling me. I prayed for Him to show my faults.
I am a sluggard and make excuses for everything. I have other faults but my sluggard way is so destructive. Thank you!
Thanks Mike.
Thank you for your answer for number 12.
Thanks 🙏🏻
As someone with ADD, you have given me the motivation to take the first step to take the lion in the streets and finish my CPA qualifications.
@@Gamefan86 Mike has an entire video on this. It’s simply untrue.
The part about laziness left me feeling challenged. I'm one of those people who is never actively doing wrong things but if you're not actively pursuing God then what's the point! Thanks Pastor 🙏🏾
Be blessed
Thankyou.
Mike Winger aren't we called to forgive those who trespass against us?
Wouldn't forgiving yourself fall under that. Because we are trespassing against ourselves when we sin
Hi Pastor Mike, I love your content. Everytime I watch a video you have done, God blesses me. I was so happy when you said that it's not true that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. If that was true, why would people commit suicide? Why would people (as I have been in the past) be paralyzed by having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have heard people saying that all my life. THANK YOU!!!!!
"Don't trust that internal sense, about how hard the job is." I really need to hear that right now, I'm struggling. There are a lot of things going on in life. A lot of things that are very discouraging. Thank you, and the Holy Spirit for speaking this truth.
@@Gamefan86 You do realize it's possible to make any real life event into a myth. You can find symbolic reason for why your real life neighbor wore a red shirt on a random Monday in 2022.
You could say that red symbolized the "biological males' " repressed anger, that, as a male existing in 2022 the general population looks down upon "him" (nonspecific "him" as there was no real person according to this myth) as an oppressor. The first letter of this particular day of the week happens to be "M." M is relevant for three reasons
1) He is "M" MALE
2)There are masses who believe "his" (still not specific "his") helpfulness at work is mansplaining "M" MISOGYNY
3) because he is "M" MARGINALIZED while being accused of marginalizing others simply because he is a, streight, white, male.
But in all actuality while those connections could be strikingly similar in correlation to his life, and, the time in which he lives. He is a real man, who happened to be wearing a red shirt, on a Monday. Which happened while society was undergoing changes to world view, and, thought process. All of these things are facts that exist along side one another, in separate although similar spheres.
I am a female btw. I do see the correlation. But correlation does not equal causation. Just because there are similarities or (mental connections which we can make) does not mean that this Pagan Myth spawned the story of Jesus.
I'm more than happy to talk about these things, but, I don't expect that either of us will change the others minds.
I see that we may have a common ground. It seems you study or listen to opposing views. I do as well. I listen to Bart Ehrman an agnostic (or on the fence atheist) historian. I like to honestly listen and pour over the claims he makes.
What brings you here, under Mike Wingers Video?
#4 amazing answer
Your humility, your high view of Scripture and truth and your passion for the gospel are encouraging and, (why not?), contagious.
While I disagree with your soteriology, I feel such a strong fellowship with you and admiration for the work that the Lord is doing in your life.
Thank you for your service to the body of Christ.
Greetings from Brazil!
Where and how do you disagree with the doctrine of salvation that Pastor Mike preaches ???
@@karenreynolds349, I believe that the T.U.L.I.P. is more in line with what Scripture teaches.
Pastor Mike has attempted to refute that view already. I didn't mean to make that part the highlight of my comment, but I stand by what I said: while I disagree with him on that part I still benefit greatly from his giftedness.
“Don’t tell my wife. Hehehe… she knows” I love that😂
Super interesting! Last answer was particularly AMAZING! Way to “Sock it to ‘em!”
Best quote: "Truth feels rude sometimes."
Question 18: I will say those that say 'Don't just follow what I say, but double check everything I say with the Bible.' Those teachers tend to be the better ones to follow in my experience because they are willing to admit that they are wrong in relation to the Bible and change to the Bible's ways.
You are a prophet of the Lord
Describing how not reaching perfection makes you despair really hit the mark for me. I have ADD, and dyslexia, so my focus has always been SO BAD. A professional organizer said something that has truly changed my life: SOMETHING is always better than NOTHING. I can't keep my house immaculate. But I CAN pick up as I'm going about my day. Laziness is a battle, and you just have to keep fighting.
My motto is "if it's worth doing it's worth doing poorly" it has been the best hack for my unmedicated adhd brain
Faith = Trust in
Hallelujah 🙌
