We new God always we all need to be close to God so when we do need him or more importantly we will be ready to serve and be alright with loving him because when we know God we know how to deal with the circumstances of life like he said with the world we only get temporary good thing even though God bless us with these things and want us to enjoy our blessing but it shouldn’t stop us from putting him first not second I learned that today in this word thank you for releasing this and I pray that God bless you and care for you all both you who’s reading and those who serving right now I pray that God blesses you and that you have a blessed amazing day with god thank you for reading amen

People tend to misunderstand what prosperity is; it is more than just material things. If you have God's favor and you don't have much, you are prosperous; no matter what, God has your back because you have a really close relationship with Christ.

Don’t trade him for people either, because people will let you don’t, but He will never leave you .

What shall it profit a man if he gains the world and yet...lose his soul?

The *Thirst* That Puts God *First*
*What is your* thirst ? *Recruit* the *Ruin* To The *Righteous Rule* Of Our *Ruler* Christ Jesus Our Lord.Matt.6:33

[Kairi]

I am fairly confident that neither I, nor anyone else, will ever "need" god.

Maybe we should focus on being good to each other and taking care of people and worry less about making some invisible god happy

[sagenosnibor]

Backround music is too distracting(please lower next time)

[angeladams]

Can you please explain Acts 2:38. I was raised in a Apostolic church. I believe in baptism in JESUS NAME and the receiving of the tongue talking holy ghost. It takes more than just repeating word's to receive the full gospel of CHRIST. I didn't get this great feeling from just repeating some words, it comes from GOD HOLY SPIRIT. What you feel comes from GOD the HOLY GHOST.
