This was the message I needed to hear today! I appreciate Titus's ministry so much. I want to come down and fellowship and help build the church building with you all. Lives are being changed by the work God is doing through Titus! Praise God. May the Lord's warring angels be all around you and Titus, may the power of the Lord and his warring angels shut the mouths of all falsely accusing and slandering this mighty man of God , in the name of Yeshua Ha'masshia, amen, amen snd amen!
Great video and great teaching. Verse shared Highlight: Psalm 66:17-18; and yes we should forgive one another, love one another, let God judge and revenge is His.
yes...so that means let go of wrath or a need for revenge...but I don't think the 10 Commandment or 7 Deadly sins include forgiveness. Jesus is the ultimate forgiver too....I don't agree that humans should forgive everyone of EVERY kind of sin....to me that is borderline condoning bad behavior? It blurs the lines between good/bad which was not Jesus' intention. You know Jews do not forgive as Christians do...because they are not trying to mimick Jesus in all their dealings because Jews don't recognize Jesus... So juice will sometimes spit after saying the name of a person who greatly harmed their family.... And I think that's kind of appropriate.And healthy
@@exposinginsanityI think it’s okay to feel negatively towards someone but that doesn’t mean to actively hate them or wanting to exact revenge or wish them ill. I think the thing is by showing those individuals the glory of God in being able to forgive and accept them, if they can also find Him they will feel beyond convicted and sorrowful towards their wrongdoings. I say that because those who do not know God sometimes don’t feel bad at all or justify their actions. In feeling conviction they will feel the need for atonement both in His eyes and their fellow man, while ALWAYS knowing they did something wrong. And that should be plenty enough without everyone around them turning against them. They know and will always know (if the conditions are met).
So clear. God gave us the simple rules. Well put Pastor T. God bless you. We need to be intentional in the word and let it dictate our steps and actions. 🛐❤️
Titus. Thank you for the purity of heart. And love of Jesus you contagiously spread. Praise God almighty. I have just listened to the happenings that has happened to you and a little girl who does the videos. I am so glad she is away from him!. I pray for her safety God is the final rewarder. I have joined you in prayer and everyone involved. I totally appreciate your effort and all your love and so many people who has found Jesus through your faith. And yourself being who You Are beautiful inspirit body and Soul. Absolutely. If you were not doing what is right you would not be attacked. I pray for God to take care of this evildoer his vengeance is better than mine. We shall see! In yeshua's mighty name 👍🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼!
Jesus taught us how to pray the Lord’s Prayer and the key line is “Thy will be done”. Too often we pray that our wants and wishes be met without thought for Gods plan for us. Or the purpose of trials and the refiners fire. In his most extreme moment Jesus prayed “take this cup from me”, but then in his selflessness he added, “nevertheless Thy will be done”. Gods will for us should be at the centre of our wants. God allowed Satan to afflict Job in order to demonstrate Jobs faith. Job in his refusal to lose faith proved Gods purpose.
Jesus wasn't saying some worse sickness would fall on him than the sickness that Jesus healed him of. He was saying stop sinning or something worse would happen to him than his sickness---ending up in hell. It wasn't about certain sins causing varying degrees of sickness. We're all subject to sickness and physical death because we're in fallen flesh but it's all temporal. The more important thing is the spiritual, eternal reality.
We can talk to our father ourselse.We really don't need someone else to talk to our father.Our father wants us to talk to him No human has more. Power than you yourself, talk to God as a best friend. He is your friend. He's my best friend and he also talks back But you have to listen and it's not with words
Please pray for me to be smarter With my finances matters. I've cut out a lot of stuff that i thought that I could do without. But it's been really tight, even with what I've gone without. Just please pray that I can be smarter and wiser in what decisions i have to make.
Matthew 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and his righteousness and all of this shall be added unto you. Seek him with all your mind, soul and spirit. He will teach you how to live simply and humbly. Phillipians 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7: And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Jame 1:5 If anyone lacks wisdom ,let him ask the father of lights who gives to all men liberally. You can ask God for wisdom, you don't need someone else to pray for it for you. Jesus Christ died so that you can be one with the father and go directly to him. Our fathers word has the answers to everything. It's the bread of life. Trust in his word and he will speak to you.
The only prayers I ever offer for anyone is to repent of their sins and surrender their life to God. This is because God gives his blessing to the just and unjust alike, make the rain to fall and the sun to shine on the good and evil like.
Thank you for speaking, such deep wisdom and nuggets of truth. I’m thankful to be able to hear this and digest it, some stuff is kinda an “ouch moment” but in the end a good thing
You can use this advice or not but what Titus is talking about is true, but to start the path where Christ can work with you on prayer there is something you can do. First ask for guidance each night on the subject that is on your mind. Continue to do this over and over until guidance is present. Then as you release that pain the prayer and work with work through as the guidance brought you to that change or event. Then if you are praying for another try not to ask for them for a specific thing that you want or others to want but pray that Christ enters the mind. It does not mean a major event like we want but soft subtle things that God and nudge that person. Think about it this way. Titus nudges Peter all the time. When he says we are friends no matter what is him saying I will never leave your side whether you are here or we never see each other, but those thoughts will always be the same. God works through humble prayer and offers his hand to guide you and nudge you. Just my thoughts.
How old of man do you want? And what state? I traveled a bunch working in the Nashville Christian Music Industry 14 years, and I have Christian male friends that are single all over the place.
We are essentially saying if we die in our sin we go to hell .. even if we have confessed Christ ? So if the man died in a car wreck before he died from cancer before he told his wife his sin he would of gone to hell even though he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior from his sin ?
@@Standingearth you re asking for Her to ask Her Son for Graces..Jesus refuses NOTHING from His Blessed Mother..as in the wedding feast when they ran out of wine..He even told Her it wasnt His time yet.....BUT....He preformed His First Miracle anyways ,only because She asked Him...They are of the same flesh....They are fully united with each other...She takes are unworthy prayers and polishes them up for us and then presents them to Her Son..who again..refuses Her NOTHING...would you not also give your own mother the highest place in Heaven if you had the power to do so...She IS The Queen Of Heaven....just as your own mother would be...just as alot of the other queens in the bible were..they were the kings mother..Ave Maria😇😇😇
I did hear of a woman who experienced a spontaneous healing with dr joe dispensa... But apparently for this to happen.She had to remember the faces.And all the actions of three men who had raped her.... And she had to forgive them in her heart.... For me this would be an act of disloyalty to myself.... To forgive something that evil.I would have to be agreeing that the evil was okay? I simply couldn't do it.... Even if I found out that all 3 rapists were abandoned by their mother's as babies? I still could not forgive them because I would feel like I was forgiving the devil
I think it is possible that we have misinterpreted the sacrifice that jesus made to take away our sins.... I don't know that we are supposed to be Jesus when it comes to forgiveness or taking away sins. I don't know that we should have a habit of being a martyr to evil doers..... Because as the time passes I think the evil has become bigger than even what jesus experienced? Did jesus run across a Charles Manson.... Did jesus run across hamas?
I have always had a hard time with forgiveness.... Because many people have done things to me that I would never ever do to anyone.... And then instead of apologizing sometimes they have said it was my own fault and I deserved it? These people are narcissists.... And because they did not have remorse... And they did not ask for forgiveness.... I have not and will not give it to them... Because I am not jesus... I think only jesus can take away all sin. I think we were meant to emulate him but we cannot BE him. And so for instance to forgive a hamas soldier that killed your baby ... I don't think jesus expects that of us. And while you need to let go of your anger/wrath against that soldier.... It is kind of an abomination against goodness and life to forgive them. They can take their murderous ways and lack of remorse and die to go be with the damned for eternity...in my opinion.
People need to seek the Lord by reading the Bible praying and fasting and to stop sinning. People also need to stop eating sugar and grains if you have bad health. The grain giants lobbied hard against meat farmers. You cannot eat most of the crops farmers grow. Animals eat grass and we eat animals. Fruits and vegetables are a treat and so is bread. Pancakes are not breakfast food it's like eating doughnuts for breakfast. Do you feed your kids doughnuts for breakfast? Skim milk and cereal will fatten up hogs better than anything. Food is making people sick and contaminated drinking water.
We have become a fourth generation of obese, petulant, incontinent, arrogant, and prideful goats that would make our great grandparents shudder in horror. We must repent as a nation or fall as a nation and that time is soon
I am going to agree that if the sinner harms someone to an extreme point.... I e costing them the life of a loved one... It's not a sin to withhold forgiveness.... Especially if the sinner does not ask for it or show remorse
