that's amazing, praise God!! ive just started reading the bible in a year and it's been great so far, God's been encouraging me to keep going so i can know His word inside out and think biblically about things. :)
Ray, I have been a Christian since age 4. I am almost 71 years old. The first time I was in church was when I was in my mother's womb. I have had a number on Godly Pastors preach with such passion and clarity but I must say that no one has ever approached people with the passion and clarity as you. I appreciate the fact that you do not compromise the Gospel as some ministers of today do...... it is heart breaking that I see a slip in the truth being preached.May God continue to bless you as I know He will.
Ray, you’ve been a huge part of my maturing in Christ these past few years, though I have Christian family members who disagree with the way you approach people and they also use Romans 2 as an excuse not to bring up sin, that hasn’t stopped me from seeing the incredible work you do for the Lord and the seeds you plant. Some of your videos I end them literally saying “wow”’out loud with tears in my eyes at how good God and the Gospel is. Blessed by this video, thanks brother :))
Just read Romana 2. How your family thinks of what Paul is saying, compared to what Ray is doing here doesn’t really compare. All he is doing is showing this person who thinks she is “good”, that she is guilty by illuminating her guilty against Gods Holy Law, that no one can keep. So then if we are wise, we will seek our only Savior, Christ Jesus… Daily! Amen In seeking Christ Jesus, daily I believe it keeps our sinful flesh at bay. And when we do slip up, the Holy Spirit convicts and we are back at the feet of Jesus asking for His mercy. He loves us so
"Those who died yesterday had plans for this morning. And those who died this morning had plans for tonight. Don't take life for granted. In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never know when you may not have that chance again.” 🙏🙏🙏📖📖📖 Just going to church doesn't make you a born-again Christian any more than going to a doctor's office makes you a doctor, or going to a garage makes you a mechanic. Half obedience is still disobedience! Blessings and peace to all! 🙏📖😇

Thank you for this response. I actually like the beard personally, but the question made me feel a little uncomfortable because it seemed to be focusing on appearance and not God’s Word.
No beard. Moustache looks good with your glasses. However you need to add some white hair on your head to give yourself that educated person look to go along with the wisdom and love folks are experiencing while you speak into their lives.😁
Why no beard? Isnt it god ordering his people to not shave their beards? If god has no problem with beards even encourages to not shave it, why do you go around disagreeing with him? Peace of god with you
Unfortunately he does not share the Gospel. He does not teach the message of the cross, but the mixed message of trust that Jesus paid your fine so believe on Him to be saved, but also "Turn from your sins" otherwise you don't really believe. Which is false for two reason, it's a double speak message, Jesus paid your fine, now to be saved you must pay your fine by turning from your sins. And the second reason is that NO BODY has ever actually stopped sinning or turned from their sins completely. If repenting of your sin's were a requirement for Salvation, God would demand perfect repentance of sins because He is a perfect God. And no one has perfectly repented. Every time he and those like him see repent or repentance in the bible, they always hear of your sins, even though the scriptures do not say "of your sins", Biblical repentance or repenting simply means to change your mind. In the context of Salvation it means to change your mind and TRUST ON CHRIST ALONE, for righteousness. Not Christ plus your repenting of sins, not Christ plus keeping the commandments. not Christ plus your obedience, but Christ alone, on His payment made for you, to present you blameless before the Father. Aid one work, and that's where your faith is, not on Christ, therefore your sins remain and you remain unsaved. See Roman's 4:5. Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, Titus 3:5, John 6:28-29, The entire chapter of Romans 3, and these are only a few, I could list with enough space and time well over 100 passages that tell you it is BY FAITH ONLY without ANYTHING you do other than trust, faith, belief on Christ.
I was a Christian but still, you changed my life 2 years ago when I was watching you for the first time on UA-cam. I thought I was happy and now I'm happier and more confident, thank you Ray comfort and God Bless. and I go with the beard 🧔♂
May God continue to use these videos to grow more laborers in the field, in boldness and truth with the Gospel. God bless you Ray, and everyone involved with Living Waters. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I had to learn what Ray is doing is lovingly “warning” people of the consequences of sin. He is not “condemning” them or “judging” them. It’s essential to clarify sin for people so “fear of the Lord” can do it’s work in them. The Spirit of fear that comes from knowing God’s righteousness and judgment is the beginning of Wisdom. This fear awakens us to God. It’s the school teacher that leads us to Christ. Knowing the Law and the consequences of breaking the law births humility and opens our mouth to ask for mercy.
His great love for us humbles me. As bad as I am, He still loves me and died for me. I remember being absolutely fearful that God was going to kill me and send me to Hell. I was about 5 or 6 years old. That's what I understood from hearing it in Church. Bad people die and go to Hell. I didn't die; but I did want to get to know Him when I didn't. I believed there was a God, but He didn't like me or wanted to even be bothered with me (that's why He didn't kill me, I thought). My mom said I was just like my father. He drank too much at bars after work, gambled, and slept around. I got the idea he was bad and that meant I was too. I had a hard time with God being a loving Father and a Just Judge while growing up. Praise be to God; I learned to trust my loving Father and reverence the Just Judge. He is always right about everything, amen. I'm almost 66 and still here, praise God!!! He is good to us!!! Hallelujah!!! Grace, peace, and love, to you and your loved ones, amen!
"Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one. Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:19-28
No beard, the mustache looks great on you! Also, I wanted to say that you have literally changed my life. I’m pursing to be an evangelist. I dropped all my future dreams of being an architect, to go serve God and help people come to Him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel I have a calling, and you’ve helped me a lot, so has God revealed a lot to me.
I vote no beard! Thanks for all you do, Ray. My son and I love your videos, especially watching them together, and are so encouraged by your ministry. I just got the Evidence Study Bible for the son of a friend of mine who isn't a believer yet but he really wanted a Bible and they are asking many questions - some you've helped me answer. I am praying for you and those you speak to.
Hi Ray, met you at Kindred Church. I'm the guy that told you that you've made it so easy to share the gospel. You're definitely my modern day hero of the faith. BTW, no beard. Greg
Your ministry is truly inspiring and you have it down to a science. It’s incredible how you can carefully guide the conversation to get the gospel out to different people regardless of their knowledge, worldview, ideology, intelligence, culture, etc etc. And they are almost always left thinking “that actually makes a lot of sense” It’s just wow
I feel the same way. I'm 49 years old but I jokingly say that when I grow up I wanna be like Ray Comfort...😁...sharing the gospel truth, without fear and full of the knowledge of God's word and Spirit! 🙌🏽✝️🙌🏽
Yes, she is truly a very special young lady with so much hope and promise waiting for her once she asks Jesus in to her heart and be her Lord and Savior today! 💖
For some reason, although I have watched SO many of your episodes that I have the "are you a good person" test memorized (& used it), of the people were more open, the interaction with this lady seemed to be one of your more unique ones to try to get through.
Your STARTER KIT is really good and effective... especially because there are people who fear being shamed or belittled. If you give one of the contents of the kit to someone, then they can read and come to an understanding on their own. Great stuff.
@@juansoriaperez209 Ray comfort was the first Christian channel I watched. He opened my heart and eyes to God, I use to be confused and agnostic. God bless you all.
I watch a lot of these, I just love the way Ray articulates the truth & brings people to a place of understanding. To date, this has been my favorite one. God bless you Ray!!!
Ray- I love you brother and I so appreciate you and your spreading the truth of Jesus. I am a sinner and I repent for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my savior, the one and true God. May the Lord bless all who read this. I love you all.
Thank you Ray please pray for me, and also for my relatives. I'm not flapping my arms anymore. Need a miracle of healing and restoration today. Praying for you God bless. ✝️💕🏃🌎💨
To be honest Ray it really doesn't matter to me but i was surprised when i saw just the mustache but your beard is just how i am used to seeing you. Also i would like to say that the Lord that he gave you the wisdom of evangelism if i had not watched (hells best kept secret) which i didn't know if it was a satan video also i had no clue who you were but when i watched it it broke me because i thought i was saved but i wasn't then i gave my life over to him in tears after that video. Thank you for your videos!!
Bless you my friend, I don’t have the honor of knowing you personally but I’ve been following you since my early years in high school, little old over here, there’s been some 20+ years that I’ve been following this great man, bless you Ray.
I absolutely love my Evidence Bible! I highly recommend it! I’m working on reading it from cover to cover right now! I can’t help but read every single insert you’ve put together before turning the pages too. Highly recommend for a Christmas gift! ❤️ Love your videos! Thank you!
I love my EVIDENCE BIBLE, too!!!! I lost count how many I have purchased for others. Best Gift ever. Except eternal life to which the BIBLE Teaches leads I have dozens of bibles from years & years ago, but never (needed) bought another bible for myself since- just for others . Thank you, Ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wear hats 🧢 & tee shirts that read John 3:16, Jesus is LORD, God Is Good, etc…. It’s a good way to break the ice 🧊 and get you and someone else to talk about God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit & Bible stories. Don’t Be Afraid… Ask & Pray 🙏🏻 to God The Father in Jesus Precious Name Amen 🙏🏻 to give you courage to share The GOOD NEWS!! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 The Gospel
Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? KJV
First time writing during all years I watch. Thanks God for you! You don't want to be a pastor, but you helping many people. No beard much better for you Ray. I know it takes time every day...
Thank you Ray for posting your videos and helping Christian at all levels. I’m a new Christian born again and I watch your style of approaching people to spread the good news!! I have the upmost respect for you and what you are doing through your videos!! I am learning to break down my wall of shyness about being a born again Christian brick by brick and to tell others the good news!! God bless you my friend and I think you look good without the beard!!
As much as I’d like to see you with the beard again, the stache does bring back memories. The only thing we need now is Kirk Cameron and we can have a Way of the Master reunion. Ray, if it’s possible please give us a teaser for the next season. God bless you.
While watching this video, I read a notification from the bible app. Hebrew 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
I just love how his approach opens up peoples eyes, mind and heart. Ray is truly a gifted communicator, blessed by God. I love the moment people realize the truth he is sharing, you can see it in how peoples facial expression change, like they are instantly repenting their sins
Ray I love hearing you present the Gospel and I pray one day we will meet! I listen to you every time you post you have such a great way of presenting the Gospel without offending people. It’s a gentle approach but you never hold back. God bless you! Also in my opinion you look better without the mustache.
Ray, I have learned so much from your open air preachings, old sermons, videos, tracts, and so much more. But please, grow the beard back! Thank you Ray, you are a blessing. I thank God how bold and faithful you are to the Lord, and reaching out to the lost.
l really want to be able to witness as well as Ray. l tried it a couple of times, but one person just laughed, and the other got angry, and wouldn't talk to me anymore. l didn't do it very well. l love your videos Ray! May you be blessed richly. :D
Same with me.. there are people that completely blow me off, however I believe there are still seeds planted when the truth of the law and then the gospel is shared. Thank you Ray for your ministry and teaching with these videos!
@@LivingWaters ~ Thank you Ray! At first l blamed myself, but then realized that those people weren't rejecting me, but they were rejecting our Lord. l just prayed for them. Keep these videos coming Ray! They REALLY are special, and helpful! :D
@@WeighnMeasure ~ l get taunted by satans minions l think too, because when l walked away ...l was getting the thought that l'm no good at it because ''Jesus didn't, and doesn't WANT to save you''. SO many times the enemy tries to tells me things like ''The gate is narrow, and many will go to hell. What makes YOU think that God would pick YOU out of all the billions of people? He only goes for the cream of the crop'' Stuff like that .... Yea! that happens sometimes, and l have to put on the armour of God. Especially the belt of Truth! Thank you Matthew! l'd rather be rewarded in Heaven! :D
I like the beard but mostly love Ray for how fearlessly he brings Tho Word of God to those who may not have heard The Good News and he does it with such gentleness and love for others. God bless you, Ray Comfort 🙏🏻

Ray, thank you for faithfully sharing the Gospel. You are such a blessing! I love that God has empowered you not only with the desire to share the Gospel but also answer questions that some might shy away from. (Study to show thyself approved.) Honestly, I can not count the times that I have cried tears of joy as God works through you, reaching the lost. We serve a mighty God, rich in mercy! Thank you for shedding light on the true Gospel and false conversion. I trust in Jesus and what He did on the cross for me. I trust God’s Word and His love letter to us (Holy Bible.) In His Service, Late to the Party
You have helped me to witness to people, Ray. Watching your videos has given me confidence and help me to see how these interactions can go. God has used you! God has now used me as well. Glory to God!
May the Lord return quickly. Praise the Lord! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!
Thanks for your teaching Ray. It is always appreciated. The most interesting thing (to me) in your witnessing videos is to see the person's reaction to the gospel. Always makes me joyful to see a person really listen to what you have to say.
I love reading in the KJV all the times where the Lord Jesus Christ (GOD), showed up or spoke with men and those people didn't say a single word, but immediately face planted themselves in the ground, acknowledging the LORD. Beautiful. Credit where credit is due. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, thy GOD.
The "Kinsman Redeemer". He not only took onto Himself the impossibly high debt we owe for sin, but also makes *His* richness of perfect righteousness ours. Good News like no other. Peace be with you - God's peace, peace with God!
Ray, your inspired method of sharing the truth of the Holy Scripture; people's view of their own life, death, sin, interaction with others, and Christ's she'd blood to cleanse those with a repentant soul, clean of those sins. Thanks. I'm a born again Christian, with Christ and His Holy Word/Spirit, as my Savior. Amen. :)
I watch your videos for myself, of course, but I am also studying your techniques and stories! I want to lead the lost to Jesus Christ. Thank you, Ray.
Ray, we love the loving way you interview these strangers on the street, love watching still! It’s amazing how God placed you in our path 11 years ago! We love your passion for the lost a true inspiration to us when we go out to witness or open air preach God’s truth. You’ve been blessed with a great support team too we love them as well! We are forever thankful to our Good Lord for providing your ministry to help us and all saints reach the lost! A blessing to us and others! Thanks Ray!! In all honesty, you look more approachable and more like Elvis without the beard!!!! It’s up to you & Sue brother! God bless you and your precious family and we hope to see you sometime soon if not here in this world, then home in heaven!
"Growing a beard is a habit most natural, Scriptural, manly and beneficial" - Charles Spurgeon -Google. I will admit that it seems as though that may not be an accurate quote and is out of context (according to a glance at a Spurgeon website)... but, he had a beard... Ultimately, I think whatever your wife likes most. Would 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 ("I become all things") be a consideration to this? I doubt you encounter many 'beard-onlyists'. I say all this light-heartedly. Thank you for the video, Ray. This is a blessing in many ways.
I think many of us Believers were once like that wonderful lady, I didn’t know what I didn’t know, even though I had a religion, I did not know the Gospel and I certainly didn’t think I was a bad person! Once I saw the Law as a Schoolmaster, just as Paul once said. I saw my fallenness and the urgency to repent, I came to believe, Christ opened my eyes. I use the Law when I share the Gospel, and I thank Ray’s ministry and the Way of The Master series, which taught me how to wittiness. Jesus is so good. I’ll be praying for that young lady, I believe God was preparing her heart for that exact moment!
Thank you Ray. You've helped me so much with my faith. It was really the holy spirit but you did your part. I'm always asking God to help me with sharing the gospel and I've learned so much from you.
Beautiful. 🙏🏼💕 The Holy Spirit always brings tears to my eyes and weeping in my soul for the lost. WE DEVOUT SERVANTS MUST keep witnessing and sharing Jesus the Messiah's love, mercy and justice to lost souls. Thank you. Shalom 🌎😊🙏🏼💕
I’m almost done reading the Bible in a year started Revelations yesterday. It’s been an amazing experience all glory to God!

Aid one work, and that's where your faith is, not on Christ, therefore your sins remain and you remain unsaved. See Roman's 4:5. Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, Titus 3:5, John 6:28-29, The entire chapter of Romans 3, and these are only a few, I could list with enough space and time well over 100 passages that tell you it is BY FAITH ONLY without ANYTHING you do other than trust, faith, belief on Christ.
And your voice is so comforting and peaceful even when you say the hardest things to hear. Truly gifted.
I love, enjoy and respect your teachings Ray Comfort!
I was a Christian but still, you changed my life 2 years ago when I was watching you for the first time on UA-cam. I thought I was happy and now I'm happier and more confident, thank you Ray comfort and God Bless. and I go with the beard 🧔♂
"Was", a Christian?
Yes I agree with you!!
May God continue to use these videos to grow more laborers in the field, in boldness and truth with the Gospel. God bless you Ray, and everyone involved with Living Waters. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I had to learn what Ray is doing is lovingly “warning” people of the consequences of sin. He is not “condemning” them or “judging” them.
It’s essential to clarify sin for people so “fear of the Lord” can do it’s work in them. The Spirit of fear that comes from knowing God’s righteousness and judgment is the beginning of Wisdom.
This fear awakens us to God. It’s the school teacher that leads us to Christ. Knowing the Law and the consequences of breaking the law births humility and opens our mouth to ask for mercy.
Yes! Much better answer than mine below 👍🏻
His great love for us humbles me. As bad as I am, He still loves me and died for me. I remember being absolutely fearful that God was going to kill me and send me to Hell. I was about 5 or 6 years old. That's what I understood from hearing it in Church. Bad people die and go to Hell. I didn't die; but I did want to get to know Him when I didn't. I believed there was a God, but He didn't like me or wanted to even be bothered with me (that's why He didn't kill me, I thought). My mom said I was just like my father. He drank too much at bars after work, gambled, and slept around. I got the idea he was bad and that meant I was too. I had a hard time with God being a loving Father and a Just Judge while growing up. Praise be to God; I learned to trust my loving Father and reverence the Just Judge. He is always right about everything, amen. I'm almost 66 and still here, praise God!!! He is good to us!!! Hallelujah!!! Grace, peace, and love, to you and your loved ones, amen!
"Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one. Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:19-28
That is prob true of an unbeliever. But God has not given us a spirit of fear but power love and a sound mind.
No beard, the mustache looks great on you! Also, I wanted to say that you have literally changed my life. I’m pursing to be an evangelist. I dropped all my future dreams of being an architect, to go serve God and help people come to Him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel I have a calling, and you’ve helped me a lot, so has God revealed a lot to me.
God Bless You!
I love this lady-she’s very open, honest, and perceptive.
Beard! God bless you Ray for all your faithful and dedicated work for the Lord!
I vote no beard! Thanks for all you do, Ray. My son and I love your videos, especially watching them together, and are so encouraged by your ministry. I just got the Evidence Study Bible for the son of a friend of mine who isn't a believer yet but he really wanted a Bible and they are asking many questions - some you've helped me answer. I am praying for you and those you speak to.
I agree, no beard.
I truly hope she reads and cherishes that book directly from Ray😊!! I ordered mine online and had to wait patiently with no ‘Ray’ in sight lol!
Hi Ray, met you at Kindred Church. I'm the guy that told you that you've made it so easy to share the gospel. You're definitely my modern day hero of the faith. BTW, no beard.
Greg
Your ministry is truly inspiring and you have it down to a science. It’s incredible how you can carefully guide the conversation to get the gospel out to different people regardless of their knowledge, worldview, ideology, intelligence, culture, etc etc. And they are almost always left thinking “that actually makes a lot of sense”
It’s just wow
I feel the same way. I'm 49 years old but I jokingly say that when I grow up I wanna be like Ray Comfort...😁...sharing the gospel truth, without fear and full of the knowledge of God's word and Spirit! 🙌🏽✝️🙌🏽
Yes, it is just WOW!! 💖🙏😊
I really liked that this lady, who is intelligent and respectful, really listened and is contemplating the wisdom of God's word.
Yes, she is truly a very special young lady with so much hope and promise waiting for her once she asks Jesus in to her heart and be her Lord and Savior today! 💖
For some reason, although I have watched SO many of your episodes that I have the "are you a good person" test memorized (& used it), of the people were more open, the interaction with this lady seemed to be one of your more unique ones to try to get through.
God bless her Lord. May she open her heart ❤️.
Behind the scenes footage would be cool. Like how Ray handles the tough ones that dont want to talk, or even get seriously angry.
Your STARTER KIT is really good and effective... especially because there are people who fear being shamed or belittled. If you give one of the contents of the kit to someone, then they can read and come to an understanding on their own. Great stuff.
I watch every upload lol. Thank you for the posts. God bless you.
Yo también 👍🙏🏻
me too hehehe
@@juansoriaperez209 Ray comfort was the first Christian channel I watched. He opened my heart and eyes to God, I use to be confused and agnostic. God bless you all.
Ray you definitely touch the lives of so many. ✝️🙏📖⛪️✨🥰 Thank you.
I watch a lot of these, I just love the way Ray articulates the truth & brings people to a place of understanding. To date, this has been my favorite one. God bless you Ray!!!
Praise God for your evangelism videos!
No beard Ray. Thank you for the lessons on proper evangelism. Your teaching has changed the way I approach presenting the Gospel.
Ray- I love you brother and I so appreciate you and your spreading the truth of Jesus. I am a sinner and I repent for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my savior, the one and true God. May the Lord bless all who read this. I love you all.
Thank you Ray please pray for me, and also for my relatives. I'm not flapping my arms anymore. Need a miracle of healing and restoration today. Praying for you God bless.
✝️💕🏃🌎💨
Praying.
I'm praying for you my friend!
Greetings from Poland. Thank you for your work!
To be honest Ray it really doesn't matter to me but i was surprised when i saw just the mustache but your beard is just how i am used to seeing you. Also i would like to say that the Lord that he gave you the wisdom of evangelism if i had not watched (hells best kept secret) which i didn't know if it was a satan video also i had no clue who you were but when i watched it it broke me because i thought i was saved but i wasn't then i gave my life over to him in tears after that video. Thank you for your videos!!
Keep it up Ray, I never get tired of watching these videos. God bless.
Bless you my friend, I don’t have the honor of knowing you personally but I’ve been following you since my early years in high school, little old over here, there’s been some 20+ years that I’ve been following this great man, bless you Ray.
God bless you and your ministry
Praying for you in Korea 🇰🇷 🙏❤
I absolutely love my Evidence Bible! I highly recommend it! I’m working on reading it from cover to cover right now! I can’t help but read every single insert you’ve put together before turning the pages too. Highly recommend for a Christmas gift! ❤️ Love your videos! Thank you!
That’s wonderful!
I love my EVIDENCE BIBLE, too!!!!
I lost count how many I have purchased for others. Best Gift ever. Except eternal life to which the BIBLE Teaches leads
I have dozens of bibles from years & years ago, but never (needed) bought another bible for myself since- just for others . Thank you, Ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is actually one secret: In Revelation, John heard seven thunders, and God told him not to write what he heard them say.
Sir Ray, you always makes it look easy. I am honestly still seeking courage to share the gospel.
You can do it. Praying for you. Ray
I wear hats 🧢 & tee shirts that read John 3:16, Jesus is LORD, God Is Good, etc…. It’s a good way to break the ice 🧊 and get you and someone else to talk about God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit & Bible stories. Don’t Be Afraid… Ask & Pray 🙏🏻 to God The Father in Jesus Precious Name Amen 🙏🏻 to give you courage to share The GOOD NEWS!! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 The Gospel
Luke 11:28
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
1 Corinthians 11:13
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
KJV
Thank you for sharing this sir. She took it serious at the end ☺️
First time writing during all years I watch. Thanks God for you! You don't want to be a pastor, but you helping many people. No beard much better for you Ray. I know it takes time every day...
God be less you Vlad.
@@LivingWaters perhaps 🤔 God bless
@@VladyslavKapelnykov 😂 bless
I think no beard. ;) I'm so thankful for what God is teaching me through your videos! I pray God will continue to bless your ministry.
Thank you Ray for posting your videos and helping Christian at all levels. I’m a new Christian born again and I watch your style of approaching people to spread the good news!! I have the upmost respect for you and what you are doing through your videos!!
I am learning to break down my wall of shyness about being a born again Christian brick by brick and to tell others the good news!! God bless you my friend and I think you look good without the beard!!
Thanks for teaching us how to share the gospel Mr Comfort!
I’d love to be on your team helping get it done!
No beard!!
Some gotta have a beard. Then they are not Bare-faced liars!
Oh I grew another one!
God bless you, your family, your ministry and all you meet Brother. Thank you. 🕊
As much as I’d like to see you with the beard again, the stache does bring back memories. The only thing we need now is Kirk Cameron and we can have a Way of the Master reunion. Ray, if it’s possible please give us a teaser for the next season. God bless you.
While watching this video, I read a notification from the bible app. Hebrew 11:1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
No beard. I like seeing your face. Love listening to you!
I just love how his approach opens up peoples eyes, mind and heart. Ray is truly a gifted communicator, blessed by God. I love the moment people realize the truth he is sharing, you can see it in how peoples facial expression change, like they are instantly repenting their sins
Ray I love hearing you present the Gospel and I pray one day we will meet! I listen to you every time you post you have such a great way of presenting the Gospel without offending people. It’s a gentle approach but you never hold back. God bless you! Also in my opinion you look better without the mustache.
Ray, I have learned so much from your open air preachings, old sermons, videos, tracts, and so much more. But please, grow the beard back!
Thank you Ray, you are a blessing. I thank God how bold and faithful you are to the Lord, and reaching out to the lost.
l really want to be able to witness as well as Ray. l tried it a couple of times, but one person just laughed, and the other got angry, and wouldn't talk to me anymore. l didn't do it very well. l love your videos Ray! May you be blessed richly. :D
I have bad days. Keep going Theresa.
Same with me.. there are people that completely blow me off, however I believe there are still seeds planted when the truth of the law and then the gospel is shared. Thank you Ray for your ministry and teaching with these videos!
@@LivingWaters ~ Thank you Ray! At first l blamed myself, but then realized that those people weren't rejecting me, but they were rejecting our Lord. l just prayed for them. Keep these videos coming Ray! They REALLY are special, and helpful! :D
@@WeighnMeasure ~ l get taunted by satans minions l think too, because when l walked away ...l was getting the thought that l'm no good at it because ''Jesus didn't, and doesn't WANT to save you''. SO many times the enemy tries to tells me things like ''The gate is narrow, and many will go to hell. What makes YOU think that God would pick YOU out of all the billions of people? He only goes for the cream of the crop'' Stuff like that .... Yea! that happens sometimes, and l have to put on the armour of God. Especially the belt of Truth! Thank you Matthew! l'd rather be rewarded in Heaven! :D
@@WeighnMeasure ~ Thank you Matthew. You are very kind. See you in heaven, as The Lord wills. :D
I feel a really sweet spirit in her. I Pray she start living for CHRIST there is definetly nothing better Praise GOD. And GOD Bless you all.
I like the beard but mostly love Ray for how fearlessly he brings Tho Word of God to those who may not have heard The Good News and he does it with such gentleness and love for others. God bless you, Ray Comfort 🙏🏻
TX Ray, you stand on His truth and shout it out loudly! God bless
3:15 - Psalm 147:10-11
5:55 - How to respond to someone who says, “I don’t think He would be angry with anybody; we’re all His children.”
6:20 - Do we know right from wrong? Excuses
6:35 - “Any judge who dismisses a case saying the guy didn’t really know what he was doing, his shoes were too tight, he had a bad upbringing, isn’t a good judge. If the judge is good, he must see that justice is done.”
7:34 - Goes into the Ten Commandments
8:02 - What is goodness?
8:55 - Taking His name in vain
9:54 - Revelation 21:8
10:17 - Romans 6:23
11:02 - diving into the meaning of His sacrifice
11:13 - John 19:30
12:38 - Psalm 23:4
God is going to take care of us when we leave here he's going to show us the right ways
These is effective evangelism.
God bless you Ray and your ministry 🙏
Thank you Ray
God is angry with the wicked everyday. The beginning of wisdom is FEAR of the LORD.
ABSOLUTE LOVE LIVING WATERS!! !!!RAY IS AWESOME !!!!!!
Ray, thank you for faithfully sharing the Gospel. You are such a blessing!
I love that God has empowered you not only with the desire to share the Gospel but also answer questions that some might shy away from. (Study to show thyself approved.) Honestly, I can not count the times that I have cried tears of joy as God works through you, reaching the lost.
We serve a mighty God, rich in mercy!
Thank you for shedding light on the true Gospel and false conversion.
I trust in Jesus and what He did on the cross for me. I trust God’s Word and His love letter to us (Holy Bible.)
In His Service,
Late to the Party
Well, you made me cry.
How beautiful, to share Christ with that young lady. Hopefully one more for the Kingdom of God.
You have helped me to witness to people, Ray. Watching your videos has given me confidence and help me to see how these interactions can go. God has used you! God has now used me as well. Glory to God!
Ray, I can't even begin to tell you how much your videos are helping me as a born again believer.
May the Lord return quickly. Praise the Lord! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!
Thanks man this helped a lot
Amen yes praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏽🙌🏽🕊️ God bless you for telling the truth, God bless you for this encouragement.
@@fugly-keith please don't call or think of yourself as FUGLY.
@@SavedTraveler-1975 no man I'm not it's just a thing I did with my friends
Amen! God bless you too my brother
Great one Ray! I thank God for you! God is good! Much love to all!! ❤❤
Great video 📹
Thanks for this Ray
Thanks for this message sir! No beard! You look younger! :)
This Gospel is really some great and wonderful news. Ray has a wonderful way of explaining it! Awesome!
Thanks for your teaching Ray. It is always appreciated. The most interesting thing (to me) in your witnessing videos is to see the person's reaction to the gospel. Always makes me joyful to see a person really listen to what you have to say.
I just ordered my Evidence study Bible off Amazon cant wait to start reading and sharing with my family.
Love you Ray. Thank you for all that you do to further the Kingdom of God.
What is the kingdom of God?
I love reading in the KJV all the times where the Lord Jesus Christ (GOD), showed up or spoke with men and those people didn't say a single word, but immediately face planted themselves in the ground, acknowledging the LORD. Beautiful. Credit where credit is due. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, thy GOD.
The "Kinsman Redeemer".
He not only took onto Himself the impossibly high debt we owe for sin, but also makes *His* richness of perfect righteousness ours. Good News like no other. Peace be with you - God's peace, peace with God!
I love the way you articulate the 10 commandments through the death sentence, and TRUST in Jesus.
Ray, your inspired method of sharing the truth of the Holy Scripture; people's view of their own life, death, sin, interaction with others, and Christ's she'd blood to cleanse those with a repentant soul, clean of those sins.
Thanks. I'm a born again Christian, with Christ and His Holy Word/Spirit, as my Savior. Amen.
:)
Brother- Well done, good and faithful servant.
I watch your videos for myself, of course, but I am also studying your techniques and stories! I want to lead the lost to Jesus Christ. Thank you, Ray.
Thank You cheers from Pennsylvania 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ray's form of evangelizing is amazing. Make people realise that they are sinners therefore they need a saviour.
Be Blessed Brother Shine On
The plain and simple truth of the gospel that sets people free. When we know the truth of the gospel message we are set free indeed.
Ray,
we love the loving way you interview these strangers on the street, love watching still!
It’s amazing how God placed you in our path 11 years ago!
We love your passion for the lost a true inspiration to us when we go out to witness or open air preach God’s truth. You’ve been blessed with a great support team too we love them as well!
We are forever thankful to our Good Lord for providing your ministry to help us and all saints reach the lost!
A blessing to us and others! Thanks Ray!!
In all honesty, you look more approachable and more like Elvis without the beard!!!!
It’s up to you & Sue brother!
God bless you and your precious family and we hope to see you sometime soon if not here in this world, then home in heaven!
"Growing a beard is a habit most natural, Scriptural, manly and beneficial" - Charles Spurgeon -Google. I will admit that it seems as though that may not be an accurate quote and is out of context (according to a glance at a Spurgeon website)... but, he had a beard... Ultimately, I think whatever your wife likes most. Would 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 ("I become all things") be a consideration to this? I doubt you encounter many 'beard-onlyists'. I say all this light-heartedly. Thank you for the video, Ray. This is a blessing in many ways.
God Bless Living Waters and anyone who wants to spread the love and truth!
I love your videos. Thank you so much !
Love you Ray! Thank you
I think many of us Believers were once like that wonderful lady, I didn’t know what I didn’t know, even though I had a religion, I did not know the Gospel and I certainly didn’t think I was a bad person! Once I saw the Law as a Schoolmaster, just as Paul once said. I saw my fallenness and the urgency to repent, I came to believe, Christ opened my eyes. I use the Law when I share the Gospel, and I thank Ray’s ministry and the Way of The Master series, which taught me how to wittiness. Jesus is so good. I’ll be praying for that young lady, I believe God was preparing her heart for that exact moment!
You are exactly a man of God, Ray. I thank God for the wisdom He instilled in you.
Thank you Ray. You've helped me so much with my faith. It was really the holy spirit but you did your part. I'm always asking God to help me with sharing the gospel and I've learned so much from you.
Beautiful. 🙏🏼💕
The Holy Spirit always brings tears to my eyes and weeping in my soul for the lost.
WE DEVOUT SERVANTS MUST keep witnessing and sharing Jesus the Messiah's love, mercy and justice to lost souls.
Thank you.
Shalom
🌎😊🙏🏼💕
I think the beard suits you better, God bless you Ray, i love your videos
Mario from Sweden
Like you with a beard ray! Also thank you for helping me on my Christian journey, God bless you and your ministry in his name ❤️
