I'm from Nigeria 🇳🇬, this channel which I stumbled on while on sick bed has really helped me refresh in all ways of my life.

Pastor John has really preached the undisputed word of God in here.

Glory to God!

I hope to make heaven afterlife.

This cannot be a coincidence. I’ve been going through some spiritual warfare and I called upon Jesus. He knows the problems that I have endured, and sent a gift in the form of a New Testament Bible with sections for which sins someone is struggling with. I had an addiction to pornography and I want to make sure I don’t slip back into it. I’ve been wanting to know how to become born again and now this video comes out. It’s a sign from God!

[IsaiahEli]

Jesus is coming, the season is now!! 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!

This is so beautiful, the Church and the world needs to hear this again, and again 🔊🔊🔊
For they don't seem to know anymore...

I was born again on my 43rd birthday! I went to the Kingdom of Light and my soul freed from the dark and it was rejoicing and praising God! My ♥️ is now His ♥️ and when He commanded me to be baptized I was in a horse trough! All Glory to The Father! ✝️🙏

[veekee]

[vdmerwejo]

Thank you. Please ask Pastor John in a follow-up "How do you gain assurance that you have in fact been born again?"

[PeterProf]

You must let go of your emotional baggage. You must lighten up and be like a little child. You must be playful and see everything as new. You must see life with wonderment. If you have a lot of fear, you are not born again. If you are self-deprecating, you are not born again. If you believe you deserve eternal hell, you are not born again. If you judge othes and yourself, you are not born again.

You must enjoy life. If life is a drag, you are not born again.

[TheZXGuru]

easy you are born again when the Spirit takes up permanent residence in your soul. he becomes one with you. Therefore he quickens you into the spiritual realm and transforms you from a dead state to an alive state with Christ.

[Lakeslover]

This made complete sense. Thank you so much.

Being born of water and Spirit is being baptized in water and Spirit. These are two parts of the one baptism that saves us.
Acts 2:38 is how we become born of water and the Spirit.

[ShamelesslyRed]

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
The "word" here is this verse in greek is Rhema (not logos) It is the literal spoken word that one hears through the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe this is the "calling" that scripture speaks of

Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ like you would trust a parachute.

What do I mean by that? A parachute when used correctly when won’t stop you from falling but a safe landing is guaranteed. Our faith in Him is the same way, we will still fall but we have a safe landing. Meaning we will still fall (sin) but since we have Jesus then we will land safe in Heaven. There’s a big misconception that when you are saved you are “perfect” or “sinless”, that couldn’t be further from the truth, when you are born again you will lose your desire to sin, some people lose it right away some lose it in a short time, either way you will thirst after righteousness and you will despise all sin, especially the sin that is personal to you. Also, you have to repent every time you sin, cry out to God with godly sorrow. The perk about being born again is that you will not let every small thing go to the side like it’s no big deal, you’ll hold yourself accountable. Just keep repenting and trusting in Jesus, He knows your struggles and once you’re truly saved then you are always saved because you would rather die then take extreme pleasure in sin as you once did.

In simple words if every time you sin you are heartbroken and you will fight harder next time, and even succeed in saying “NO” to your sin then you are born again, especially if you pair that with righteousness. You’re patient, you’re loving, you are kind. You are keeping the commandments, and encouraging others to do so. Everything that God would approve of, do it!! You see someone struggling with depression, share the gospel with them and watch their life completely change! It’s beautiful!

Works on your own will not save you but a faith that lacks works is a dead faith because no one who truly loves the Lord will let everyone willingly sin. You’ll tell them out of love that they’re going down a dangerous path.

You and I all broke God’s law, that is a serious offence punishable by death (the second death). God’s law is so serious that we are murderers if we do much hated someone, it’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God! However there is good news, we are guilty but we are to be set free because our fine was paid. Jesus (God in the flesh) lived the perfect life that we could never live, died in the cross and on the third day He rose! He said before His Spirit left His body “It is finished”.

Your life is precious and you never know when you’re going to die! Trust in Jesus today and repent of your sins! Stay humble always! God bless you all!

The Holy Spirit "makes alive" those who believe the Gospel message in 1 Cor. 15: 3-4.

[grammyg.]

Pure and simple believe in your heart the finished work of what Jesus Christ did on the cross for us sinners, like the thief on the cross that was crucified along with Jesus Christ, he believed, and the Lord said because you believed, you will be with me in paradise this day ... we are sealed in Him once we believe in our hearts that Jesus died for us, He paid our sin debt ... for the wages of sin is eternal death ... we can miss Heaven by 18 inches, just by believing only in our minds and not our hearts ... just that simple believe in your hearts ...

[mosessemondo]

First of all "we are not sinners by nature"
Yes we have a fallen nature which tends to sin but we always have a choice to make in regard to this. Man is born with a choice. We are not robots please. Sin is and has always been a choice. If we do not CHOOSE to sin then we cannot CHOOSE to be saved.

[Jaditzatpsn]

The Gospel = Good News
1. Believing that God risen Christ on the third day from his tomb
2. Confessing that Yeshua is Lord and Savior
3. Becoming Baptized in Water.
4. Live a Godly Lifestyle
5. Keep his commandments
6. Repent for your sins daily and pray
7. Have Faith Trust and Believe

Even those who are believers will not make it
Because they cannot follow 1 - 7 above.

Heaven is Paradise filled with God love
No Pain, Diseases, Disorders, Health Problems
Everyone is in perfect health
Yes you are able to eat and etcetera
-

Hell is the opposite
Which is pain, agony & suffering

-
It's the separation from God

The Most High True God of Israel
Does not dwell in Hell

Hell is in the shape of a human body
There are different areas
Based on sins, Hell is more hotter then the Sun

The Pain is unbearable
All those who are in Hell

Are being tormented forever
With no rest for all eternity

All that go to Hell
Know the reason why they ended up in this awful place.

-
There is no water, food in Hell and etcetera
It's pitch black down there
Even more darker you won't be able to see

The screams from the people
is so unbearable

-
People who are in Hell
Thirsted for water, Jesus taught us that water is life.

Breathing in Hell is like a person on earth
Drowning in the Water
-
People souls in Hell still have their 5 body senses
1. Touch
2. Hearing
3. Smell
4. Taste
5. Touch and etcetera.

I'll give you an example, If you had a cut on your finger
On earth you will only feel it in that area of your body

But in Hell, that little cut will feel like every inch
of your soul has been cut all over.

People souls in Hell, Are drained of human strength
Doing basic tasks, Are almost impossible down there.
-
Yes, everyone has a mind
In Hell, with a memory of everything
They have done on Earth.

Hell was made for Satan and his Angels
For sinning against God

Sin has made man-kind go to Hell
That's why The Most High God

Sent us Jesus to save us from this place
Called Hell, He defeated sin and death.

Yeshua. "Jesus" Purpose on the Earth - Verses Below.

John 3:16
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17
New International Version
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
-

There is no way around him, Jesus is the only way to Heaven

Salvation is a free gift from God.
If you are willing to take it

In Christianity, salvation (also called deliverance or redemption) is the "saving [of] human beings from sin and its consequences, which include death and separation from God" by Christ's death and resurrection, and the justification following this salvation.
-
True repentance which is only accepted by Christ...

You have to come to Christ with a true repentance heart
By confessing and asking for forgiveness of your sins

Turn away from your sins and by stopping them
Live life Holy - day by day.
