Pastor Mark as a 25 year old man thank you for properly teaching the word of God. One day when I have children I will use every ounce of guidance the Lord and you give. I’ve learned a Christian’s life is a consistent daily repentance and change. I am truly thankful and blessed. What an amazing faith we get to believe in! GOD BLESS
@thechosenone5924 actually he's lying a lot. He is still an offering plate filler. He has a rock concert to make everyone enter a spirit of entertainment. Then he'll preach about being an Elijah. Then he'll contradict everything he said about Being an Elijah (the most anti women's rights guy in the Bible) and then tell men that loving their wife means letting her be in leadership, and have a career and submit to another man, then he'll say that Deborah wasn't really a stay at home mom, she was a warrior. When in all reality she stayed home and that is where she judged from. The scripture continually states that women in leadership is a sign of God's judgement on a nation. And even Deborah tried to encourage the men to take leadership and not force her to go to leave her home and go to the battle ground with the men. Then when the men said no we want you to go to the battleground, she state's " the glory that BELONGS to you men will go to a women if you make me leave my home." Then Mark also believes in child prevention method's. Which have always been a form of abortion. All throughout scripture you find women who would give their life to give birth to that one last child. Child prevention method's are nothing new. They have always been practiced by the unsaved pagans and heathen's. So people who practice this murder are God's enemy. Every person in the Bible, including Christ was prophesied of long before their birth. Most of the time, thousands of years before their birth. This means that each of these people were a preconceived notion in God's mind for his glory and purpose. And Mark teaches coa toa to your wife and let her prevent your children's (satanic child sacrifice) lives. And you'll be a great Elijah. Oh wait, the feminist murderer of God's people, Jezebel, Elijah was far from kind to. He even killed all of the men who followed Jezebels (a woman) leadership. In other words, women who are in leadership and prevent children's lives(satanic child sacrifice) are Jezebels, and deserve to be thrown out of a window by Jehu, and the men who follow a woman's leadership deserve to be killed by Elijah.
Philippians 3:13-14 KJV Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.❤
Wow, I’m 25 and I’ve yet to see my children it’s been about a year and a couple months now the guidance and teaching in the revelations I have caught. I really helped my walk though I am still battling with things that I should’ve let go off like nicotine And marijuana I know that God can deliver me. I just have to dig deeper. God is good. He’s showing his favorite and mercy on me and my children a couple days ago I was able to talk to him on the phone through somebody that is in the same area and a close family friend, God will restore we just have to dig deeper. Pray and let go of the hurt the backstabbing, the pain, the resentment, the bitterness, the pride know God will change everything in my life.
Brothers and sisters I need prayer from as many of you as I can possibly get. I just went through a miscarriage my wife and I and since then satan the adversary has kept us under constant attack spiritually. I already have PTSD and am disabled with nerve damage from the events that gave me PTSD. Nerve damage and please my wife and I thank the lord for how blessed we are thank the Lord we now know we can get pregnant which we were unsure of. Please pray for us. I’m desperate
May your mind be settled as you press into his word.. may his comfort be with you and your wife.. I do pray for deep healing and deliverance.. may your bodies line up with the word of God ❤ Philippians 3:13-14 KJV Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Pastor I weep every time you speak, not from sadness or mourning but from a place of healing. Love you bro grateful for how God uses you to build men for the kingdom.
I am forwarding this. It was beautifully spoken even though I am female this message applies to us as well. Love you Pastor Mark and what a powerful men ministry you have. May God continue to bless it and you. ❤
I'm 53 years old and I smoked pot for 35 years!I didn't won't to let it go until God changed my heart and mind about it!I've been quit smoking in 2018!and God blessed me with a great job for letting it go!God has a big sense of humor because I work for a company now named Magic Pipe!
Pastor Mark, I was driving to the gym and speaking to God the Father just about life and how much I appreciate everything he has done. Right before arriving to the parking lot I asked the Holy Spirit what he would like to listen to. I opened UA-cam and this sermon was the first option. It just so happened this was exactly what I needed to listen to. Bitterness has done everything to me what you talked about. I have been listening to your sermons the past week and started with your 1 John the father heart of God. You are true in your word and only speak what God wants you to say. Thank you but most importantly I thank the Holy Spirit for working in me to be closer to Jesus!
I am standing, I have bitterness and unforgiveness, I want to release the bitterness dso that I may forgive those I am bitter towards. Thank you Pastor Mark 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Pastor Mark. This word liberated me from a prison I've been held in for over a decade. The connection between bitterness, brokenness, self-destruction, and unforgiveness, as you explained it, opened my eyes to why I pursued self-destruction and hurt myself time and time again. GOD BLESS YOU. PS: I would love to help bring these messages to a Portuguese-speaking community. Ministries like yours and Angus Buchan's in South Africa are what men of GOD need at this moment to be healed, rise up in the name of Christ, and guide the world in the direction of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you very much.
I understand the want for a killdozer. It is 6am here. I have been up all night depressed. Feeling abandoned and betrayed by life. Listening has me crying. I could believe this was written about me at the beginning.
I've been listening to you for over a year now. Love your sermons. This one really hit home with me. I was beaten almost every day as a child and watched my Mom get beaten. I took that anger and bitterness and took it out on others on the football field. I became a police officer I dedicated myself to helping and assisting families caught in the cycle of domestic violence. I saw the kids as me. I was able to work with my church and have the pastors reach out to me when a woman came in and was seeking help regarding domestic violence. The women blamed themselves and did not want to get a restraining order because they would lose the man's income. I talked to them from a kid's point of view and the church assured them they would assist with rent/money. My dad died before I could really talk it out. Your sermon just now hit home and explained the bitterness I have been feeling all these years. Thank you for what you do.
Happy Birthday Pastor Mark and Greetings from Baltimore MD. I'm a newly wedded man & I've been watching your sermons hours a day since I came across your channel. I have to from all the brokenness I see when I drive to work in the city. God Bless
God bless you pastor. I appreciate your truth and vulnerability to get a strong message across. I look forward to meeting you one day, whether it's before the rapture or after I do not know but God does. Take care.
Thank you so much for this sermon Pastor Mark. You've been a powerful guide as I begin my new walk with Christ. This sermon has provided more healing and insight than I've been able to find in the past 30 years. You are such an incredible pastor whose work is indescribably necessary in these days of broken, lost man. Thank you and the Lord bless and keep you sir. 🙏✝️
Pastor Mark this sermon is so touching. I'm a single mom but I listen every week I look forward to seeing what you teach these men. I encourage my son on what you preach. Bitterness is something we all have. Thank you for teaching me how to release it and to forgive and why I should. God bless you , your family and trinity church . Amen
Thank you Pastor Marc! You’re the only Pastor that has made any sense to me. You don’t hold back and I thank you for that. It has changed my life. God bless you.
Pastor Mark i was one of the many thousands you preached the gospel to overseas, rice rally 26th Aug 2008 Sydney Australia to be precise. I was a very bitter person back then that i was constantly in the abyss and conversing with the evil one. Thank You for being the messenger of the Lord and planting the seed of the Lord in my heart which is the gospel, i have given my life to Christ since and been through healing and transformation since and though its hard i do not regret my decision since. I hope this can be an encouragement for you as you do your ministry and for others who are also called to christ
Glory to God!! Philippians 3:13-14 KJV Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Pastor Mark, God Bless you in the teaching of forgiveness for men, in this video. Watching, I realized a source of bitterness from decades ago that I thought I'd forgiven, but realize now that I just buried it with time. Thank you for the blessing from the Lord that I just received from your teaching, and realizing the correct way to forgive and put it away for good. I'm 66 years old and have been carrying this since I was about 10 or 11, so it's a huge relief on y life. Thank you!!!
Man, this convicted me. Third sermon this week that’s made my long term bitterness and unforgiveness totally apparent. Good gut punch. I’m gonna go get right with God.
God i pray for Your annointing over every man you are calling out of the darkness into Your marvelous light. Lord equip us with the grace and mercy we can only recieve through Your Holy Spirit. I pray that we be strong and gentle. I pray that we be unapologetically honest yet loving. Help each one to stand tall in their faith and lean completely into You. Thank you Jesus for Your faithfulness. We are more than conquerers and in You and You alone we have the victory. I declare these things in the mighty manly name of Jesus, amen.
48 year old woman from the carribean praying for the men in my community and nation overall am so happy God has preserve genuine men and raising up men that has a heart for his will his way, thank you jesus keep up the good work you're doing pray God continued to keep you and family , blessings
This was so Good. I started listening to this while Working at 2 am. It’s now a little past 3. This might be my ne of my favorite words from Pastor Mark. From a brother at StrongerMen Nation up here at GCC in Wenatchee Wa, I thank you. I love what God is doing down there in scottsdale, Arizona amongst you Men. Real Men and the Real Faith Ministry is an inspiration. Love you Beothers!
This subject was one of the big reasons I started watching you. When I saw you were more concerned about a person's soul than a person's feelings, I knew I needed to start watching. Me and my wife now watch each week and I listen to the recording while at work.
This made me cry! This is by far one of the most raw and real messages that God will use to transform lives. Thank you for being vulnerable. Blessings upon you and your family in Jesus’s name ❤️
I thank the Lord in using to you to convey this message. There have been a few areas that the Sword of Truth pieced and pried open in this message that made me realize that I was holding onto bitterness and grieving the Holy Spirit. I cried some tears of pain and then joy, and it enriched the Gospel even more. God Bless!
Father thank you for Brandon's life.. I pray he would release his son so he can make room for the pure and abundant life you died for ❤ Philippians 3:13-14 KJV Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
I also believe that Joseph wanted to know if his brothers had grown up. His test was to threaten them to hold Benjamin. When Judah begged to take Benjamin’s place, Joseph knew that they had. Judah was much different with Benjamin than he had been with Joseph.
Pastor Mark, man I hope you tried helping that couple to heal their marriage. I’ve been through a divorce and I get the nature of this teaching, but the idea of being at one of the lowest points of your life and to have a man of God in your life to only be abandoned in your time of need stings. Hope there is more to that story, hope that couple has healed. But I do appreciate the teaching on bitterness. That concern was just a side note. Love you bro, I’m sure you did the right thing!
God has blessed me so many times over and over. I just can’t thank him enough. Mark Driscoll has truly changed my life. I would love a way to contact trinity and plan a visit from Texas
My abusive mother blames me for her choices in life - every phone call is a punishing ordeal in which she guilts/blames/shames me for not coming to her rescue. I try to forgive... but the toxic treatment continues. Every morning I repent - and by nightfall I am bitter again. Please pray for me, friends.
Could not trusting people be a mask for unforgiveness? As soon as the pastor said I didn’t have to trust the people that have done me wrong my first thought was, sweet, I don’t like them and I never did. That’s easy. But blessing them… like I feel betrayed by my government and the VA and my countrymen…I’ve thought blessing them would mean my absence at times. Idk. I needed to hear this and now I need to do something about it.
Can forgive and release. But I don’t believe we are to continue to return to abusive and/or toxic relationships. Just heard this pastor say in another sermon “how many times did you go back to a person that He tried to tell you was bad for you ?” So forgiving is one thing. Going back to toxic behavior and patterns is another.
Luke 17:1-4 When Christians Sin against each other it Grieves the Holy Spirit. If a Prodigal Sins for them to repent they don't blame the Father. Adam and Eve deflected their SIN AFTER they were deceived Zaccheus had a change of heart when he said I will repay those I ripped off 4 fold.
Yes, they do. Go on their website, search Trinity Church in Scottsdale AZ. His wife, Grace, has a section for REAL WOMEN, which will take you to her page.
The liam Neeson time got me bad 😂😂. (brother mark i love you brother) And the house one, why not just give me a low ball offer and il accept it just to tick my wife off. The Lord is GOOOOD 😮😂
I don't get bitter because I pray for revenge lol. And like don't do anything, because I know God will do it, and He did it many times before, if I was actually right, and persist in praying for it.
Is there a way i can get a printed transcript of this message? Yes, i realize i am a woman watching this, but how it has opened my eyes, convicted me, and granted me fresh perspective. And my God, how i have needed that!! And yes, i want to share it with others - those that are willing (not force it by forwarding this video, cuz many will just delete it then). If there is an email that I can send this request to, or a phone number i can call, i would SO appreciate it. Thank you, Pastor Mark.
God save me from anger god save me from bitterness god heal my heart so I can forgive god make me the channel for thy peace god make me a champion of forgiveness for I am willing ✝️✝️✝️
So I have to choose almost every day to forgive my soon to be ex-wife as almost every day she communicates something meant for evil usually via text. I've been getting better about forgiving and not being bitter. I never had equated forgiveness with blessing though. It makes sense and is biblical, I just never understood it that way. I'm going to add to my daily praying to have my eyes opened to how to do that. At the moment I do not see any practical application of how to bless as it is a struggle to forgive and not be bitter daily. Thank you for that and I hope God is praised somehow throughout my situation. Second thought kind of related to my bigging, what do we do with unrepentant evil and injustice we see every day that isn't necessarily directed at us but is so pervasive in society, my mind goes to abortion. I feel the need to pray for however do not feel my personal forgiveness and blessing for those who commit these atrocities is warranted. God will judge but with a sense to defend the orphans in this case my heart grieves every day.
i'm pretty sure driscoll's idea of winning a battle is becoming a leader of a church so he can have access to the church's money to buy copies of his book, making him money. this is what he did in 2011. This is what people who think they are the shit do. Don't do what he says; i don't think he even does.
There is no war, and there is no enemy, except the devil's lie that needs to find evil enemies to fight. The evil enemy is YOURSELF your sin, your own deceitful heart. Jeremiah 17:5-10 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately corrupt; who can understand it? "I the Lord search the mind and try the heart, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." Matthew 26: 51-54 And behold one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I can not appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?" Romans 12:9-21Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited. Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. No, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not overcome evil by evil, but overcome evil with good. Ministers who are trying to find biblical justification for a holy war crusading bloodbath against God's enemies and to weaponize the gospel and word of God are perverting and distorting the word of God; if they continue to wilfully and knowingly rebel and sin against God by continuing to do this wicked and devilish thing there is going to be a terrible judgment coming, the very thought of which makes me tremble. It would not surprise me that this might be a judgment of absolute destruction and eternal death and damnation, the same judgment that belongs to the devil and all his evil seed and host of fallen angels. Yes there are times and seasons, and dispensations where God will use the violent means of war to defeat and destroy his enemies, but that belongs to a day of wrath and judgment and not to our day of salvation, grace and richly abounding mercy. If the test is by their fruits you shall know them, and if the fruits they bear are like the vile figs that are so rotten that they can not be eaten without causing a foul taste in the mouth and a bitter and painful reaction in your guts, like being poisoned unto death, it seems pretty clear that such fruits that cause such hurt and damage are not of God, and not of the blessed tree of life, but the cursed tree of death.
Forgiveness is only bringing others back together because true repentance has taken place.. repentance = stop, think and turn from sin.. they own it, are specific in asking for forgiveness from the one they have hurt. We forgive them with the lords help.. we render our hearts to him and ask him to free us as we know it's right to forgive.. ask the lord if we are to go back around that person and speak to them..
Pastor Mark you said forgiven for everything past present and future. Is that for everything literally? I'm going to play this for my husband this evening or was profound. But I felt I needed to ask you this because I'm afraid. I pray and ask for forgiveness but I don't deserve it. So I don't feel like this is true. I've done some horrible mistakes in my youth.
Yes, they do. Go on their website, search Trinity Church in Scottsdale AZ. His wife, Grace, has a section for REAL WOMEN, which will take you to her page.
In the history of the world? Wow! That means that the Trinity church is more biblical than the one Jesus pastored during his earthly ministry. That’s pretty good going, mate.
Thanks Pastor Mark... If you call all this stuff hard times. What does good times look like? I thought dealing with all that stuff came with good times because God lifted me out of them. Gave me new problems to face. Plus i live in a state that has very few active Christians. Most are satanic worshipers that want to get theirs. I've just come to accept it. And not expect another Christian.
can someone explain how God speaks Audibly. if this is a fact and so many say that its not, is there something scriptural that validates what Mark believes? and is it more than an ambiguous verse. are there multiple passages that God speaks to us Audibly? sincerely. not trying to say its not a fact, doing my best to understand. seriously, don't be a sarcastic A~clown when answering this. just dont answer it if you feel the need to be Lame...
You missed the point completely my dude, and I’m not quite sure why you go into disclosing home prices? Pretty unrelated left field comment in my opinion. I’d recommend rewatching and listening to his words in context. Take care.
Pastor Mark as a 25 year old man thank you for properly teaching the word of God. One day when I have children I will use every ounce of guidance the Lord and you give. I’ve learned a Christian’s life is a consistent daily repentance and change. I am truly thankful and blessed. What an amazing faith we get to believe in! GOD BLESS

Thank You for being the messenger of the Lord and planting the seed of the Lord in my heart which is the gospel, i have given my life to Christ since and been through healing and transformation since and though its hard i do not regret my decision since. I hope this can be an encouragement for you as you do your ministry and for others who are also called to christ
Glory to God!! Philippians 3:13-14 KJV
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Pastor Mark, God Bless you in the teaching of forgiveness for men, in this video. Watching, I realized a source of bitterness from decades ago that I thought I'd forgiven, but realize now that I just buried it with time. Thank you for the blessing from the Lord that I just received from your teaching, and realizing the correct way to forgive and put it away for good. I'm 66 years old and have been carrying this since I was about 10 or 11, so it's a huge relief on y life. Thank you!!!
Man, this convicted me. Third sermon this week that’s made my long term bitterness and unforgiveness totally apparent.
Good gut punch. I’m gonna go get right with God.
God i pray for Your annointing over every man you are calling out of the darkness into Your marvelous light. Lord equip us with the grace and mercy we can only recieve through Your Holy Spirit. I pray that we be strong and gentle. I pray that we be unapologetically honest yet loving. Help each one to stand tall in their faith and lean completely into You. Thank you Jesus for Your faithfulness. We are more than conquerers and in You and You alone we have the victory. I declare these things in the mighty manly name of Jesus, amen.
48 year old woman from the carribean praying for the men in my community and nation overall am so happy God has preserve genuine men and raising up men that has a heart for his will his way, thank you jesus keep up the good work you're doing pray God continued to keep you and family , blessings
This was so Good. I started listening to this while Working at 2 am. It’s now a little past 3. This might be my ne of my favorite words from Pastor Mark. From a brother at StrongerMen Nation up here at GCC in Wenatchee Wa, I thank you. I love what God is doing down there in scottsdale, Arizona amongst you Men. Real Men and the Real Faith Ministry is an inspiration. Love you Beothers!
Oh this is some great teaching!!! Yes!!! Amen! Being honest! I was just as bitter! Ohhhh this is great!!! My youngest son sent me this!!'
Such a strong message and very true thank you pastor Mark.
Thank you for speaking on this. It hit home on so many levels for me and helped heal some very broken areas of my life.
God brought me here to hear this. I knowbhe does it but man its like you wrote the sermon about my life right now.
This subject was one of the big reasons I started watching you. When I saw you were more concerned about a person's soul than a person's feelings, I knew I needed to start watching. Me and my wife now watch each week and I listen to the recording while at work.
This made me cry! This is by far one of the most raw and real messages that God will use to transform lives. Thank you for being vulnerable. Blessings upon you and your family in Jesus’s name ❤️
I thank the Lord in using to you to convey this message. There have been a few areas that the Sword of Truth pieced and pried open in this message that made me realize that I was holding onto bitterness and grieving the Holy Spirit. I cried some tears of pain and then joy, and it enriched the Gospel even more. God Bless!
Thank you Pastor Mark. This predication was much needed. I wish i was a part of your church.
Thank You Pastor Mark for releasing your anointing and blessing us men with your words and leadership.
My biggest hindrance isnt bitterness, its pride...
Thank you Jesus.
That was a huge. Prayer for me Brother ..iv been a mother and popa by myself for 39 yrs
Amen! "Anger is not a sin".
Nice sermon... ❤❤❤
Struggling. Prayers appreciated. God bless all.
Father thank you for Brandon's life.. I pray he would release his son so he can make room for the pure and abundant life you died for ❤
Philippians 3:13-14 KJV

Thank you for this pastor 🙏
I also believe that Joseph wanted to know if his brothers had grown up. His test was to threaten them to hold Benjamin. When Judah begged to take Benjamin’s place, Joseph knew that they had. Judah was much different with Benjamin than he had been with Joseph.
Watching from China, this was such a blessing
"Treat them the way Jesus treats you." Amen!!
Pastor Mark, man I hope you tried helping that couple to heal their marriage. I’ve been through a divorce and I get the nature of this teaching, but the idea of being at one of the lowest points of your life and to have a man of God in your life to only be abandoned in your time of need stings. Hope there is more to that story, hope that couple has healed.
But I do appreciate the teaching on bitterness. That concern was just a side note. Love you bro, I’m sure you did the right thing!
I want to be like Pastor Mark when i grow up
Thank you .. deeply.
Im not a guy but a single mama of 9 and have been abused hugely ..its so hard thank you,.
Single mom of 7.. I feel it. Jesus literally gets me through the day
So good Pastor thank you
Thank you
This hit HARD. Keep it up Pastor.
Amazing message!
My debt is overwhelming I can’t pay…my only hope is forgiveness help
I can relate. Will keep you in prayer 🙏🏾
Awesome!!!
This is so good!
God has blessed me so many times over and over. I just can’t thank him enough. Mark Driscoll has truly changed my life. I would love a way to contact trinity and plan a visit from Texas
My abusive mother blames me for her choices in life - every phone call is a punishing ordeal in which she guilts/blames/shames me for not coming to her rescue. I try to forgive... but the toxic treatment continues. Every morning I repent - and by nightfall I am bitter again. Please pray for me, friends.
This one hit different..
Could not trusting people be a mask for unforgiveness? As soon as the pastor said I didn’t have to trust the people that have done me wrong my first thought was, sweet, I don’t like them and I never did. That’s easy. But blessing them… like I feel betrayed by my government and the VA and my countrymen…I’ve thought blessing them would mean my absence at times. Idk. I needed to hear this and now I need to do something about it.
Can forgive and release. But I don’t believe we are to continue to return to abusive and/or toxic relationships. Just heard this pastor say in another sermon “how many times did you go back to a person that He tried to tell you was bad for you ?” So forgiving is one thing. Going back to toxic behavior and patterns is another.
Horizontal =forgive others
Veritical = God forgives
I forget the meaning when they met on the cross ( Holy Spirit? )
Jesus highlighted bitterness for me I need to let go and let God
Excellent
Luke 17:1-4
When Christians Sin against each other it Grieves the Holy Spirit.
If a Prodigal Sins for them to repent they don't blame the Father.
Adam and Eve deflected their SIN AFTER they were deceived
Zaccheus had a change of heart when he said I will repay those I ripped off 4 fold.
I may not be a dude but I am raising one so I tune in !!
Amazing sermon. Life-changing. Anyone know what the intro/outro music is? Love it
Does Grace have a Ladies Group/Page/Channel?

The Lord is GOOOOD 😮😂
💎💎💎🔥🔥🔥
I feel so unforgivable toward self…

I don't get bitter because I pray for revenge lol. And like don't do anything, because I know God will do it, and He did it many times before, if I was actually right, and persist in praying for it.
Is there a way i can get a printed transcript of this message? Yes, i realize i am a woman watching this, but how it has opened my eyes, convicted me, and granted me fresh perspective. And my God, how i have needed that!! And yes, i want to share it with others - those that are willing (not force it by forwarding this video, cuz many will just delete it then). If there is an email that I can send this request to, or a phone number i can call, i would SO appreciate it. Thank you, Pastor Mark.
God save me from anger god save me from bitterness god heal my heart so I can forgive god make me the channel for thy peace god make me a champion of forgiveness for I am willing ✝️✝️✝️
This is great. This is God's word. But how does it tie into his message of cutting out toxic and ungodly people out of your life?
23:57
BROTHER MARK !!! I need to find you
do i have to forget?
How many years does it take to build a house
So I have to choose almost every day to forgive my soon to be ex-wife as almost every day she communicates something meant for evil usually via text. I've been getting better about forgiving and not being bitter. I never had equated forgiveness with blessing though. It makes sense and is biblical, I just never understood it that way. I'm going to add to my daily praying to have my eyes opened to how to do that. At the moment I do not see any practical application of how to bless as it is a struggle to forgive and not be bitter daily. Thank you for that and I hope God is praised somehow throughout my situation. Second thought kind of related to my bigging, what do we do with unrepentant evil and injustice we see every day that isn't necessarily directed at us but is so pervasive in society, my mind goes to abortion. I feel the need to pray for however do not feel my personal forgiveness and blessing for those who commit these atrocities is warranted. God will judge but with a sense to defend the orphans in this case my heart grieves every day.
i'm pretty sure driscoll's idea of winning a battle is becoming a leader of a church so he can have access to the church's money to buy copies of his book, making him money. this is what he did in 2011. This is what people who think they are the shit do. Don't do what he says; i don't think he even does.
There is no war, and there is no enemy, except the devil's lie that needs to find evil enemies to fight. The evil enemy is YOURSELF your sin, your own deceitful heart. Jeremiah 17:5-10 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately corrupt; who can understand it? "I the Lord search the mind and try the heart, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings." Matthew 26: 51-54 And behold one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I can not appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?" Romans 12:9-21Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited. Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. No, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not overcome evil by evil, but overcome evil with good. Ministers who are trying to find biblical justification for a holy war crusading bloodbath against God's enemies and to weaponize the gospel and word of God are perverting and distorting the word of God; if they continue to wilfully and knowingly rebel and sin against God by continuing to do this wicked and devilish thing there is going to be a terrible judgment coming, the very thought of which makes me tremble. It would not surprise me that this might be a judgment of absolute destruction and eternal death and damnation, the same judgment that belongs to the devil and all his evil seed and host of fallen angels. Yes there are times and seasons, and dispensations where God will use the violent means of war to defeat and destroy his enemies, but that belongs to a day of wrath and judgment and not to our day of salvation, grace and richly abounding mercy. If the test is by their fruits you shall know them, and if the fruits they bear are like the vile figs that are so rotten that they can not be eaten without causing a foul taste in the mouth and a bitter and painful reaction in your guts, like being poisoned unto death, it seems pretty clear that such fruits that cause such hurt and damage are not of God, and not of the blessed tree of life, but the cursed tree of death.
Can you share the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation? Does forgiveness mean restored relationships?
Forgiveness is only bringing others back together because true repentance has taken place.. repentance = stop, think and turn from sin.. they own it, are specific in asking for forgiveness from the one they have hurt. We forgive them with the lords help.. we render our hearts to him and ask him to free us as we know it's right to forgive.. ask the lord if we are to go back around that person and speak to them..
He welded metal around it, not bulletproof glass.
Pastor Mark you said forgiven for everything past present and future. Is that for everything literally? I'm going to play this for my husband this evening or was profound. But I felt I needed to ask you this because I'm afraid. I pray and ask for forgiveness but I don't deserve it. So I don't feel like this is true. I've done some horrible mistakes in my youth.
Do you have stuff for the women?
Yes, they do. Go on their website, search Trinity Church in Scottsdale AZ. His wife, Grace, has a section for REAL WOMEN, which will take you to her page.
O-o Audibly. hmmm. Cools
In the history of the world? Wow! That means that the Trinity church is more biblical than the one Jesus pastored during his earthly ministry. That’s pretty good going, mate.
Thanks Pastor Mark... If you call all this stuff hard times. What does good times look like? I thought dealing with all that stuff came with good times because God lifted me out of them. Gave me new problems to face. Plus i live in a state that has very few active Christians. Most are satanic worshipers that want to get theirs. I've just come to accept it. And not expect another Christian.
Hi
PERPETUAL ENERGY IS NATURAL LAW.
PERPETUAL ENERGY IS GODS LAW.
Why do you look on everything as a battle.
can someone explain how God speaks Audibly. if this is a fact and so many say that its not, is there something scriptural that validates what Mark believes? and is it more than an ambiguous verse. are there multiple passages that God speaks to us Audibly? sincerely. not trying to say its not a fact, doing my best to understand. seriously, don't be a sarcastic A~clown when answering this. just dont answer it if you feel the need to be Lame...
That's not an accurate representation of the kildozer guy.
Truth doesn't need help by misrepresentation of facts.
Why do you talk about being “real men” and talk about sleeping with your girlfriend but not disclose the price of the house?
You missed the point completely my dude, and I’m not quite sure why you go into disclosing home prices? Pretty unrelated left field comment in my opinion. I’d recommend rewatching and listening to his words in context. Take care.
I luv u pastor but I absolutely hate your horrible LEAD IN MUSIC!!!!
Thank you
