I have followed your journey on UA-cam. Not many people would give up their career and the fame for Jesus. So proud that you listened to the Lord and obeyed. Prayers for you and your family and this new journey.
Many would if they are a tuned to God’s Spirit and moving because they were listening. It is not hard when the Spirit of God is so present.
As sad and as big a loss your family has had Jesus has directed and you have followed. God Bless 🙏👵🏻
Grainger , thank you this video of your's is the first time that I have watched and listened to the entire thing . I have book marked this video and will watch it again . Your message was that strong and it was so very much of an effect on me I love what you have done for the Lord and are continuing to do please do not stop , stay strong and continue . Go with God Grainger , go with God !...!...!
Granger, Dan Arms mentioned you on UTube. He spoke of your tragedy and your book. I googled your name and was lead to this sermon. I needed to hear this.I am a Christian and I needed this. I also ordered your book.
he needs this discipline to get over the grief of River.
Chapter 8 ❤
If you’re reading this, read the New Testament all the way through. Read every night, the quantity doesn’t matter but the CONSISTENCY does. Pray that God will open your heart and your eyes…and I promise you that HE WILL ANSWER.
Amen
Why not the Old Testament too?
@Matthewstevens I think the reason he said to read the New Testament is because we no longer live by Old Testament law. I am not saying there are not wonderful things all throughout God's Word but the most things that can apply to today with so much application to our life and living today is found in the New Testament. Psalms is an encouraging book with praises of David throughout. So yes, there are absolutely great truths in the Old Testament and things we can apply like the praises in Psalms. And I do believe the whole Bible does have purpose. I am just explaining why I think he said only the New Testament. I may be wrong, but that is my thoughts.
@@matthewstevens2994 Good question, I actually started reading it a few months back every night also. The New Testament is a lot easier to grasp and learning about who Jesus is and what he did definitely makes the Old Testament A LOT easier to grasp. Pray and give the Bible a fighting chance, EVERY NIGHT, and something is going to rattle inside!
@@tacosmuggler7264 for a little context I’m in my second year of Bible college double-majoring in Global Engagement and Bible & Theology. I was more asking a rhetorical question to see what your reasoning was for saying NT. Keep reading and learning more and more!
Brother you've changed you're different from who you were and it's for the better! I can see the glow the calm of the Holy Spirit within you! God is about to do great and mighty things through you! May God's will flourish in you and your family! ♥
I have no words for how touched I am seeing your love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Us too here in Pennsylvania...May God bless all.
My Daughter and Husband are at your last concert right now. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND FILL YOUR HEART. You will be missed.
Today's the day! 08-26-2023. Thank you Granger Smith, Band & Crew for all the touring moments. The passion, love, attention to detail & audience is unmatched in the music industry. To quote Chris, THE BEST TIME!!! THANK YOU. BLESSSINGS TO YOU ALL. Paul, Brian, Ian - catch every moment on film today. If only YeeYee Nation could all fit in that venue tonight. LiveLikeRiv 🎈
Next, God's full plan. It was already written. Let's go, Jesus!!!
God bless you and yours Mr. Granger Smith.
Thank you Granger 🥰🙏🏻 I have your Book Like a River ! I’m not an a reader, I read the whole book in three days ! I’ve have a good life, I’m going to be 80years old in Dec.

Now I feel the grace of God. 🙏🏻

Oh brother Granger! The joy, peace, and love of Jesus is just leaping from you with every word! I am so excited to see what God has planned for you as you follow His leading in your life! To God be the glory indeed!
I love being able to hear your sermons. I've stepped away but am working on finding my way back to Christ. He loves me unconditionally and forgives me over & over, so so many times. Please remember me in your prayers. Im so glad God has led me to hear your story. God Bless you & your family.
You should hear his other sermons on here from last November called Act like Men and the other They don’t really know God, they changed my life last year and I’m on my third time reading my Bible this year. Praying for you.
Prayers for you Lenetta on your walk with Christ. Thankful for Gods mercy and grace when we need it most. 🙏🙏🙏
We have all back slidden..before .May God lift you and direct your path..this sermon wow a great start.and as Granger has Said before ..reading the Bible daily..Just ask God to guide you and open his word through the daily Bible reading ..to you..God bless
I have followed you for years, granger, you, your music have gotten me thru some of the toughest times in my life. God Bless you, and your family.
thank you, Granger, when i lost my son years ago your music helped me through it and now your book is helping me again from my daily struggles with my sons death still hurts he would have been 10 on the 18th of this month and hope you'll continue helping people especially now with God and Jesus' help
Amen G! "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." *2Corinthians4.7* ❤✝🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this message … Amen. I needed to hear this and so do many others. Praying for all those who have heard it and will hear it. Keep telling people the good news of Jesus. Thank you thank you thank you. God bless you. Praying for you and your family.
Having my own emotional and mental breakdown last year, I prayed to God for a reset button. Since then I’ve found my own love for Christ and listening to your podcasts is what helped the most. I’ve been listening and going over these same verses for the past few weeks now and listening to this sermon has put a whole new perspective on it and my life. God blessed you with this opportunity to reach out to everyone and you nailed it. God is loving, God is forgiving, and God is graceful, but most of all God is good.
Dear soul..May God be ever near and all Granger sermons are so good..and daily Bible reading..God bless
Praise be to God!
Wonderful message. God bless you and your family as you follow His will.
I hadn't heard of you till I watched Daniel Arms on his UA-cam channel in the past year or so, I'm 60 and never was a music follower, who sang what sort of thing. I will say I thank God for you and your family, this episode was directed to me, it has been a beautiful blessing to me and I will be watching it over a few more times Im sure. I first starting watching the Arms Family because of their faith and loved them ever since, I can see the same thing happening again for you and your family. God bless and keep you Granger, may his love shine upon you, may he keep y'all in his loving arms. ❤
My wife and I had the opportunity to see you live three times (and I one additional time). We had a lot of fun watching you and Earl rock the stage. But ultimately, the only stage that matters is the one that we all serve to our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for sharing and thank you for the memories.
Watched this Sunday and I loved it. The pace, delivery & God's message. TY Preacher Granger K. Smith.
That was a powerful message. God bless you!
Watched this Sunday afternoon. Great message! Thank you!
I just discovered your story and listened to this sermon....I believe that God is doing an amazing work through you. We serve an awesome God!!! I will continue to pray for your ministry and your family.
Nice job! I love all your music and now your preaching! Amen brother! Thank you for sharing Gods Great Word!
So thankful we got to be a small part of YeeYee Nation in Pittsburgh Pa. It was an awesome concert!

This was a great sermon. You have such a platform and obviously the gift of teaching and preaching. God bless.
What’s up Granger! I love your videos and love Like A River, thank you for all you do ❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This week started off rough due to the feelings old memories stirred within me. I greatly needed this message and had no clue God would guide me to your video for a timely message of encouragement. Thank you for being obedient and faithful to share your heart, and may God continue to mercifully enrich you and your family!

This 65 year old man cried listening to this.
Such an amazing sermon! Thank you for sharing!
The last week of Granger going on tour! I’m hoping to get your book Granger! Hope you’ll still be hosting AfterMidnite. Yee Yee!
Awww got it and one to share..
Hi Granger! Wonderful sermon! I finished your book and really loved how the Lord used you to glorify Him by writing it. May God Bless you richly as you continue to walk with Him and be led by Him!🙏🕊️ P.s. I have a scripture verse to share with you Philippians 1:6 He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
Great verse 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 Amen
Great message Granger, your life and willingness to surrender all is an extremely powerful testimony. A lot of Christians talk the talk, but very few walk the walk. Even less, take up their cross and follow Him. Well done.
How PROFOUND! Thank you so much for sharing this, I know it's gonna touch so many including me. ❤
This seed will sprout, grow and multiply.
Granger you gave an awesome sermon. Thank you. God Bless and I love y'all 💕💕💕
It's so awesome watching God work in and through the Smith family! Thank you for this beautiful message!
Hello from Waco Texas Neighbor/Brother. I
'm excited to follow your journey.
God is so good and he's going to keep blessing you and your family!
I came over from Arms Family Homestead.
I wish I could have heard the worship song at the end to worship with you. You are a wonderful testimony of Christ.
Wow, what a beautiful sermon! Thank you so much! Words that we all need to hear! You deliver your sermons in such a relatable way! Thank you!
Agree we all needed...God bless all
You found the treasure. So precious. We all need him so desperately..
Amazing word! I can see that God is totally leading you to greater things in Him. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Amen
You were my first ever country concert, at the Clay County Fair, in Florida. Then I saw you again in Jacksonville, Florida. I wish I could be at your last concert, but I praise the Lord for giving you new life and I look forward to seeing you again one day down the road.
Thank you for this sermon. Amen!
Granger that was a Wonderful Sermon!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Everyone should hear this! ❤ God Bless & YEEYEE
And let's all.share ..I agree Amen
Thank you, and may God bless. I was led here. I cast my God, but Through going back when I heard is interview with you. Today, thank you.
Powerful testimony. Thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful soul.
So excited God led me to this video this morning. You don’t know how much it has opened my eyes to not have to deal with guilt anymore the way I have been. And I also asked God to save me and come into my life fully and he has given me a new heart!!!! Thank You for your message and God bless you on your new journey!!!
This is super cool! I would encourage you to get plugged into a local church if you haven’t yet. If you’re need help finding one then let me know and I’ll send you an email address and I can connect with you and help you out with that. Life after Christ is certainly not easy, but there’s no place I’d rather be then where He wants me to be. There are times where you’ll still wonder why God has you where He does, and often times that’s because you don’t need to know yet. Trust God with your life, and you will never regret it!
Praise the Lord!! Remember that he will never leave you or forsake you!! And that verse is in the Bible! Also no one or anything can ever take God away from you. Remember we are all flesh until we reach Heaven. We were all made in the " likeness of Christ" just as we were to be before Eve took fruit from the tree after God created them and gave it to Adam and he ate it too. You may sin but those sins were already paid for when Christ died on Calvary. There is a word that happens when we accept Christ into our heart. It is "Justified". We are justified when Christ comes into our heart. Justified means "just as if I never sinned" Another thing is to remember God gives me us "eternal life" that is in a verse in book of Romans and other places in be God's Word. God will "NEVER " take salvation from you no matter what you do. He says "I will never leave you nor forsake you". Also eternal life spoke of in the of Romans means your salvation cannot be taken away. The Bible also says that "neither Height, nor depth not principles nor powers shall be able to separate you from the love of God". That does not mean we do not need to ask for forgiveness of our sins after we get saved. We do need to even though you will not lose your salvation if you do not. It will affect your relationship with Christ and your rewards in Heaven but you never need to ask Christ to come into your heart again for any reason! Now what if I as a saved Christian since 1973 were to walk away from God, church, and everything that has to do with Christ and go down the wrong path?? Remember, Christ will not leave you! God NEVER leaves you! We as Christians can walk away from God but according to His word God will never walk away from us. If you have never read the Bible start with the book of Psalms. It is a great place to start. I personally like the KJV (King James Bible). It is the closest to the original Bible and it was the first Bible that came out in the 1600's. It is the closest to the actual words that Christ used. I do have an NIV (New International Version) that I use you study to help me more fully understand verses when I do not get the verse or words in a verse. But my main Bible is KJV. Another thing to help you grow in your Christian life is to start reading the Bible every day. I do studies on certain books of the Bible etc like twice a week because that takes longer to do. . I also ordered Our Daily Bread which is a donation of any amount to get it sent to you but if you find one that you like here use it!! I like it because it is a shorter devotional for each day and is very good with a theme verse and a short devotional leaving me more time to pray daily. Last, it is important if you can at all get into a good Bible believing, Bible Preaching church. The Bible says Pray without ceasing!
Love you man. Amen to what you’re doing. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Thank you Granger. May you continue to walk with the Lord. Best wishes.
Awesome.....to God be the Glory!
I wish I had someone like you to talk to. Sometimes you just need to clear your mind and have someone to listen who understands what you're going through and been there themselves. GOD Bless You. Yee yee!!!
You found the Pearl and your purpose. Through you and your obedient, joyful heart many others will too. Thank you for your witness!
Your last concert was the best! It was good to see you one last night as a musician! I wish you and your family the best in the next chapter of your lives! Also, I just finished reading your book today. Some parts of it were difficult to read. I loved that your book can relate with a bunch of different people of all backgrounds.
wow this is fire! I did not know Granger was a believer! Shared this with a few people.
Great lesson. Granger. My parents live in Texas. I'm going up to see them next weekend. Would love to meet you someday. I have been following you for a while. God bless
Praise and glory is the Lord's. Hallelujah!!!
Saw you in Arizona and excited to see you at Billy Bob's. Hope you still play in your home town and smaller events!
Can’t wait to see you tonight for the first and last time!!!
Praise the Lord for this new journey He has you on! God bless you and family!
That was outstanding GRANGER....Unbelievable...Good for your you....
Thank you for sharing that through you we may know our savior better.
Amen😢
Grangers going to miss new music from you, but you have so much more to share than music. God Bless you and yourfamily❤
Amen
Good evening Grainger I just finished listening to this and it is totally awesome to me or just like Moses and Joseph put yourself before the Lord and trusting him that is a great step you have taken to do what you’re doing now to me as more important than anything to win souls to see people healed in the name of Jesus may the Lord bless you and keep you and I just love what you’re doing. God bless and have a great adventure
Amen. I was here for every minute
Thank you, Granger, for being a vessel for the Lord to use by sharing the Good News of the Gospel. Only Jesus saves and cleanses us from sin, shame, and guilt. Oh, what a precious Savior! God Bless you and Amber as one chapter ends and a new one begins. 💗😇💗
Wonderful sermon all glory and praise to Jesus.
Excellent
Powerful message, Granger! Amen! Thank you for sharing this! To God be the glory! ❤
Thank you SO much for sharing. All I can say is WOW! I really needed this today big time.
I had to share this with some people I absolutely respect your decision and it is wonderful to see your passion with no regrets and you have definitely put your mark on this Earth and you are doing way bigger things than the last 24 years that might sound crazy to some but that's okay you have a beautiful family and friends and I love all y'all💯 R.I.P R.I.H Little River such a beautiful soul💚🙏🙏🙏🥰
Proud of you. Keep impacting people for Christ
Thank You, Granger For That Awesome Sermon.
Such a good sermon. Thank you Granger for speaking the truth that we all need to hear
We all.sure did..amen
God bless you, Granger, and may the Lord have mercy on you. ☦️
Excellent sermon, the Holy Spirit spoke wisdom through you. Amen! Growing up in an old fashioned church, they always played this song at the end of each sermon, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus....Look full in His wonderful face, and the things on earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace." Best wishes in your new journey! You're doing a fabulous job already. :)
SO GOOD! Thank you for bringing this word Granger ❤🙏🏻
AMEN! No idea how much I needed to hear this as this very moment in my life. Thank you God through Granger.
I wish I could listen to your sermon every Sunday.
I do have guilt. My mom was in the hospital and she grabbed my arm & kept asking me to help her & I told her the nurses & drs were helping her & she said no, no one is helping me. I asked what I needed to help her with & she looked me in the eyes and said I’m passing away & I don’t want to go. I told her she was going to be okay and that she wasn’t passing away & when she asked are you sure I said yes your gonna be okay. Things were ok that night but she couldn’t talk the next morning. She tried but we couldn’t make out what she was saying. 6 days later she passed away on 5/2/2023 on the 13th Anniversary of my dads passing.
I am gonna watch this more than just this once to keep hearing your message. Thank you Granger. ❤
I know I can’t be the only one crying and tearing for joy at the end. Because it’s so nice to see someone who loves Jesus Christ with a full heart and he loves him that much to quit his 24 career in music and follow the loving path of Jesus . It’s a powerful statement to all of us it doesn’t matter how sinful your life is. With the love of Jesus Christ can always change your heart. It’s beautiful to be able to look at Ganger life and see Jesus work through him. God bless The Smith Family .❤️🙌😀
We felt the same..and cryed buckets of tears..and this renew our walk with Christ..God bless
@@estaisadore6188 your comment is making me feel joyful inside and tearing up again. I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels like this. God bless
Thanks Granger, powerfully spoken, i really needed to hear your message, 🙏🥰
8/31/23 Hello Mr. Granger Smith it is nice to meet you and your family on HERE 😊. My first time hearing your name (sorry). I'm a big fan of (Daniel and DeeJay) and they talk so highly of you and recommended your book you wrote regarding your son I will be ordering that to send to my mom first then I will get it and read. I am so sorry for your loss 🙏. Please know I am praying for you sir and I know there is an angel in heaven with wings and DJ has said you're a great singer so I will be looking up your music and we'll be trying to find it so I can download it to listen.
God bless you and your family stay safe stay strong always know God is with you praying for you always. God is Alive🙏🙏🙏
