how to draw near to God, so He will draw near to you amenpodcast.com/ #God #sermon #podcasts #amenalex #biblestudy #sermon #amenalex #amenpodcast #alexwilson INSTA: / amenpodcast
“What kind of Father must he have been if Christ willingly went to the cross, KNOWING what it would entail” This floored me. This is exactly the kind of question that highlights the truth of the Gospel. This is a starting point to the feeling and the knowing I personally felt as a younger kid growing up wondering how could someone do this.. how could Jesus in all his anguish and pain, say to his father in heaven “forgive them, they know not what they do” That is constantly a mystery I reflect on, and this question helps me to access the stillness in knowing that truth. Abiding in that truth. What a great teaching. I feel so fulfilled in this message. So encouraged and ready to wake up extra early tomorrow. Praise Jesus, and thank you both for your steadfast love for Jesus Christ and for us viewers. 🙏
This was so good! It helped so much as to why God wants me to set boundaries at school with my friends and people I talk to. And the part when you were about talking about how Satan can deceive us to think we are already drawing near to God when we aren’t, and how we want to experience God but not his Truth, so good! Thank you so much! As a 15 year old girl trying to navigate her way away from the world and becoming separate, your podcasts help very much. So thank you!!🤍
And a 13 year old Boy who is doing the same as you and what God Has called me to, I'll he preying for you and everybody who hears this that Satan's lies won't work against you, but rather give you strength to endure his lies and to learn what his plans are
I really needed to hear this today because trouble has been near me. I feels like my world has been turned upside down. And God can only pull me out of this darkness.
148: I take it as when I’m in my trials, the dark times in my life, I will stay awake in the word of God. I will not fall into slumber of the world. I will not give into the temptations of the world. Meditate on the word when I’m in my trials. On his promises that He is faithful and full of love and grace.
Thank you for practicing what you preach. There's a lot of responsibilities as a teacher of the word. N your wife is just as much a teacher. She is there always supporting and being your companion. May Yahweh give you the strength to continue to walk in truth a raise up your children for him.
Thank you for the episode! Right now I am training to be a nurse in the army and I am unable to go to my Seventh-Day Adventist church like I could before. However, I am thankful that I can still observe the Sabbath with a community and friends that teach me the word of God. I used to always love listening to this podcast but I would do it more so as background entertainment to whatever I was primaily focusing on. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with the opportunity to see how beautiful of a ministry and teaching this podcast is by focusing, reading, writing, and intently studying along with the sermon. I appreciate your family and the ministry you all are serving. Please keep being encouraged and motivated becasue you are doing fruitful labor for Christ our Lord.
When I'm working, I always listen to Amen podcasts all day long, about at least 4-5 episodes. I'm proud to say I've listen up to all of the episodes and I repeatedly listen to it. It has been helping me build a stronger relationship with God, all thanks to you guys. I cannot thank you enough for doing this. May God bless you both abundantly. Im always looking forward to new videos. ‼️‼️But this new episode on the app ain't available. I keep trying to play but it doesn't let me. I thought it was my internet connection or my phone, but other videos work as I play it. If you can recheck it, that would be great. ‼️‼️Thank you.
Needed this episode more than ever in this time. There’s so many things in my life right now that are stealing my time with God (but I’m also just giving it up) and I was losing that passion that I had to spend time with God and pray and talk constantly. It’s been giving me lots of shame but this episode helped remind me how to draw near once again
You do not have to meet requirements to get into heaven. You believe in the story of Jesus. He was born from a virgin, He lived a sinless life, He died for us, and he resurrected. That’s what gets you into heaven. That is repeated in the Bible. With love! ❤️
That God will draw near to you if you let him. If you want to be near him you have fight the spiritual warfare of your flesh and the world. And that he will use the things around you for you to serve.
This was absolute deliciousness!!! Alex I am soooo thankful for your gift and insight and I just love hearing you and Lokalani in every podcast! I love you both! I'm so glad to share in this faith with siblings like you guys! 💓 May God's face continue to shine upon you ✨️ 🙏
hey guys, ever wondered why their videos don’t have ads?? Creators have to add ads to their videos in order to make money off the video, these people are truly doing it for God, not for the money. Thank you.
Every episode you two make is always so amazing and you always make the reminder of the gospel, that because of Jesus we don’t have to fear anymore and that we have a God who loves us more than we imagine. Thank you for staying so faithful to this podcast and the viewers, what you do is such a blessing, and although it’s not easy, keep up the good work
I've been wondering if God is still working in my life cause I find myself struggling with my faith you know not hearing from him having demonic attacks in dreams and im trying to clean up my life. I've seen this verse on my devotional now on UA-cam then this video is hear called near. I believe the lord is talking to me through this verse and wants me to know that it will be ok and he also wants me to draw near to him. I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6)
Wow this was so good. Meat and potatoes! Thank you for the work you do for the kingdom. Thank you for that breakdown and thank you most of all Lord for your word! Bless them and keep them! Amen and amen.
Amen very well said God's Mercy starts at dawn God's mercies is 24/7 365 amen yes absolutely it's so amazing how we those of us can wake up at that and wait for the sun to rise that's an illustration for us how God raised his son up how he raises us up that we are raised that is a living illustration for us that we can live again a reminder to us that we have the living Christ that is risen for us and that we too can rise with him amen amen
Gods nearness is there even when my face is not turned towards him, I can be so ignorant to his presence but his nearness is always true while my ignorance is quickly proven by his grace.
Lately I've been waking up at 3:49 a.m. and I know the Lord calls me to prayer I sometimes ignore it and go back to sleep bad me I have the stomachs issue and coming from surgery now I know what's more The Lord has shown me so much how important what's more important is the word of God and food I mean the word of God is food for our soul and our spirit and food is worldly I mean we can have a little bit food be done and not have to overindulge in all this food I'm learning late in life about the Bible getting into the word more I've been studying Romans book of Romans how God's chosen people was the Jewish and how they should have known better about God's commands and how God needed Jesus come and change things around because God's laws are very strength very strict and he wants to if we're going to follow God's laws we cannot have no kind of sin but he says well that's not going to work so he had to create his own a son in his image to understand man's ways and not that he had to have that sin danger he had a temptation but he never fell into sin anyways that's what I'm learning so anyways and that Jesus is a gift for us for his gift to us is his salvation we don't have to work for it earn wages for it it's just a gift it's like if someone gives you a Christmas gift except the Christmas gift and this is what Jesus is he's our gift and yes he is our Christmas gift right amen
Thanks for this, brother. Great word! Really had a good laugh at you mentioning the alarm clock and the kids being up at 4AM with you crawling all over. LOL.
Hello God bless you guys i have an important message - For any of us who sometimes wonder is this (Christianity) all true? or just to anyone figuring how to evangelize. As someone who is involved in Apologetics do we understand that we have such a strong case for Christianity even in a non-faith perspective? Here's how: The marvelous & organized universe. The complexity of DNA and the precise & perfect multitude of laws that govern earth like gravity & mass(that if were changed a little bit we would not exist) all clearly prove the existence of God History and secular Scholars all agree to these facts just research em - Jesus did exist and is a Historical figure - Every Scholar affirms His Crucifixion as a Historical fact -Many Historians agree the Resurrection did happen -Jesus did Claim to be God and worked miracles Historically - The Gospels are Historically Reliable and it has Not been corrupted (as muslims claim) even Bart Erman the biggest critic of Christianity agrees on this -The Old Testament has been perfectly preserved as the Dead Sea Scrolls prove (These are Manuscripts from 3 BC and there is no difference with our Bible today) All this Demonstrates the essential truths and the message that God loves us and offers us a free gift to salvation which He on judgement day will hold us accountable for now it's our choice to accept or reject it. So brothers and sisters be rest assured even though Faith is a major part the facts also prove Christianity and we have no execuse to deny the faith as Romans 1 says because all the evidence points toward the truth of Christianity so don't doubt God trust Him and love Him today!
Fortunately for you (judging by the comments on this video), your subscribers can't tell the difference between real insight and some guy who sounds good rhyming his points while saying nothing of practical use. Am I supposed to just wake up earlier to pray to get nearer to God? Is that the big takeaway? And when has anyone ever used the word "lake" as a verb in the 21st century? Seemed like you were really reaching for rhymes. Maybe you should put as much energy into making sense as you do finding ways to rhyme your points. Might've been a lot more helpful
The sleep part was deeeepppp🔥. It’s a huge blessing when we all wake up by the power of God. Great message 🙏🏿

God is always closer than what we realize. Its so important to remind ourselves and neighbors this. Thank you Jesus!

Omg yess this definitely resonated with me as well, especially setting boundaries at School and dying to myself to get closer to God!!💗
And a 13 year old Boy who is doing the same as you and what God Has called me to, I'll he preying for you and everybody who hears this that Satan's lies won't work against you, but rather give you strength to endure his lies and to learn what his plans are
15 Year old guy, I feel you my sister in Christ!
I really needed to hear this today because trouble has been near me. I feels like my world has been turned upside down. And God can only pull me out of this darkness.
I thank god for y’all podcast it’s been a big help in my life and try to be more near to the father I pray y’all and everyone else be blessed

Thank you for all you do- praying for your family continually- your shared words are an incredible blessing to me and my sisters.
Alex should make and sell windbreakers… with Amen on the heart and mark 14:36 on the back it would be 🔥🔥🔥💯

2 Corinthians 4:3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
Amen!!! loved this message:)) God bless! I have learned that God is always near us and he protects us daily from stuff we might deserve.
Matthew 18:27
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Amazing sermon Alex
Lately I've been waking up at 3:49 a.m. and I know the Lord calls me to prayer I sometimes ignore it and go back to sleep bad me I have the stomachs issue and coming from surgery now I know what's more
The Lord has shown me so much how important
what's more important is the word of God and food I mean the word of God is food for our soul and our spirit and food is worldly I mean we can have a little bit food be done and not have to overindulge in all this food I'm learning late in life about the Bible getting into the word more I've been studying Romans book of Romans how God's chosen people was the Jewish and how they should have known better about God's commands and how God needed Jesus come and change things around because God's laws are very strength very strict and he wants to if we're going to follow God's laws
we cannot have no kind of sin but he says well that's not going to work so he had to create his own a son in his image to understand man's ways and not that he had to have that sin danger he had a temptation but he never fell into sin anyways that's what I'm learning so anyways and that Jesus is a gift for us for his gift to us is his salvation we don't have to work for it earn wages for it it's just a gift it's like if someone gives you a Christmas gift except the Christmas gift and this is what Jesus is he's our gift and yes he is our Christmas gift right amen

Amen God bless you 🦋🌅
God bless
This was great! Is there any way we can get notes for the podcast at all? Love you guys, God bless!❤️
wonderful word
Hello God bless you guys i have an important message - For any of us who sometimes wonder is this (Christianity) all true? or just to anyone figuring how to evangelize. As someone who is involved in Apologetics do we understand that we have such a strong case for Christianity even in a non-faith perspective? Here's how:
The marvelous & organized universe. The complexity of DNA and the precise & perfect multitude of laws that govern earth like gravity & mass(that if were changed a little bit we would not exist) all clearly prove the existence of God
History and secular Scholars all agree to these facts just research em
- Jesus did exist and is a Historical figure
- Every Scholar affirms His Crucifixion as a Historical fact
-Many Historians agree the Resurrection did happen
-Jesus did Claim to be God and worked miracles Historically
- The Gospels are Historically Reliable and it has Not been corrupted (as muslims claim) even Bart Erman the biggest critic of Christianity agrees on this
-The Old Testament has been perfectly preserved as the Dead Sea Scrolls prove (These are Manuscripts from 3 BC and there is no difference with our Bible today)
All this Demonstrates the essential truths and the message that God loves us and offers us a free gift to salvation which He on judgement day will hold us accountable for now it's our choice to accept or reject it. So brothers and sisters be rest assured even though Faith is a major part the facts also prove Christianity and we have no execuse to deny the faith as Romans 1 says because all the evidence points toward the truth of Christianity so don't doubt God trust Him and love Him today!
Is the podcast episode on the app not working for anyone else?
Hey what’s the instrumental in the beginning of the video? I would love to know, god bless brother.
Love the podcast! What are the chords for your piano instrumental? I love it!
I like your bible where did you get it?
What background piano song is that guyz ?
Did you guys leave IG? I can’t find you anymore!!
Fortunately for you (judging by the comments on this video), your subscribers can't tell the difference between real insight and some guy who sounds good rhyming his points while saying nothing of practical use. Am I supposed to just wake up earlier to pray to get nearer to God? Is that the big takeaway? And when has anyone ever used the word "lake" as a verb in the 21st century? Seemed like you were really reaching for rhymes. Maybe you should put as much energy into making sense as you do finding ways to rhyme your points. Might've been a lot more helpful
Amen
Thanks!
Amen
amen
