How do you know if you're in God's PERFECT will or God's PERMISSIVE will for your life? That's what today's video is all about. I hope you enjoy this as it's more of a "sermon" than a typical teaching. Enjoy!

[ByTheBookMinistries]

The fact that God permits us to go our own way, yet still end up where He wants us to be... Is not only mind-blowing, but speaks to His sovereign will and love for us! Thanks, brother Allen for another great video!

[unthi]

God is so generous and patient with us.

[RachelW]

I literally just asked myself this EXACT question a minute before it was posted. God answered my prayers through this video. Thank you, Allen.

That’s the one thing I need to start saying (and doing) more in my life:
“Aye man, I’m sorry bro. I checked with God...”

[percs]

This came up on my screen while I was watching a movie about the rapture, i think God wanted me to see this

[lionoffireministries]

Friends, God is closer to you than you think!!!
He sees you in the crowd. He knows you by name.
His thoughts about you are more numerous than the grains of sand!!
You can trust in His love for you always, and trust in HIM!!! 😊🙏😇

[HaleyPrettyEyes]

I still don’t know what God wants me to do but this helped a lot. It let me know he is still there & that he still cares

[Derek_Baumgartner]

A few notes from watching:

-Fully surrendering to God: this means not holding anything back from Him.
-Living your life questioning God's will is, in a sense, holding back your trust from Him: in other words, not surrendered.
(Asking questions and wondering what God's up to is not necessarily a bad thing, but you know that's not what I'm talking about: I'm talking about distrusting God or asking 'Did God really say' - what the serpent said to Eve)

-Seeing something the world has to offer (pleasure, money, power) and using that to question God's will is one way that the devil and this world will want to use to make you question God's will.
=Remember that Jesus is worthy, and sin never is. While God can redeem situations to His glory, if you choose sinful situations, you'll be bearing a cost that could have been avoided. It's *never* worth it to pick sin over God.

-If circumstances 'line up' with something that's bothering you: God's probably trying to get your attention. It's important that you listen to Him!
=Especially if disobeying becomes 'harder'. That's a good thing: if you still want to disobey after so much, that means you're idolizing something over God, and that means you're headed for disaster.
Reality *does not work* without God 'at the top.' Living as if He's not - placing something else 'first' - is to live upside-down.

-If God-fearing people start warning you against things (think: why did this video pop up now?): is there something you're being warned against? Something you want to do but know you shouldn't?


I agree with another comment here in this section:
'That’s the one thing I need to start saying (and doing) more in my life:
“Aye man, I’m sorry bro. I checked with God...”"

---
A key thing we often forget, I think.
Whatever God's calling us to give up is worth it. Why?
Often, in our own view, we're likely viewing 'giving up something' as leaving part of our lives empty.

Imagine a cup of dirty water. 'Better than nothing' one might think.
Now imagine a friend with water wants you to pour out your cup that he may give you the clean stuff, but you're too afraid to listen.

God doesn't want you empty: and He doesn't want you filling yourself with, sin, either.
Are you too full of this world for the water of life?

Trust Him!

I confess that I was guilty of being in God's permissive will a while back. I realized that for the past couple years, I have made Broadway an idol in my life. I have graduated from college not too long ago with a music degree, with an emphasis in voice. For the past couple years, I was so focused on how much I wanted to use my musical talents that God gave me to become a broadway star, and how being on broadway was what I wanted for my music career. Because I have chose to follow my hearts desires over God's good advice, I would often stumble and fall, and would even feel like competition with my other cast members in a show. Although I still enjoy broadway musicals, and I still believe that God wants me to use part of my music degree to be in musical theatre productions, but he may want me to use it for other things as well, like singing opera and gospel music, writing songs, etc. I am thankful to God that he has blessed me with the gift of music, and I want to use this gift for his glory, and not for my own. I now realize that if I have a strong desire to do something, before I make the decision to go after this thing, I must stop and ask God: is this the direction he is calling me in? Because if these things leave me to feeling empty, and it is hard to feel the Holy Spirit's presence as I participate, then it just might not be. Now-a-days, I could care less about whether or not I make it to New York for Broadway. But even if that doesn't work out, I can perform in other places (there are even some pretty good locations close to home). I now realize that I don't have to be one of the top best performers to be good enough to be in a show. That is a lie from the Enemy that I have believed for quite some time. You just need to be the best you can be through Christ Jesus. Just be still, and trust in Him, and everything will work out for the better. God bless you all.

You actually DID preach. Felt that one. 🙏

[lightshiner]

Wish I had seen this video 7 years ago. I went through each of those wills and now I'm in God's Prevailing Will, and it's hard to believe I'm truly hearing His voice after all the mistakes I've made. But I believe that I finally on the right track. Encouragement to anyone who reads this: if you believe God is speaking to you about something, and it lines up with scripture or a promise He's given you, don't doubt, don't confuse yourself, and don't let others confuse you. By faith walk in that belief and conviction, no matter how painful it is. You'll save yourself a lot of time and a lot of grief

[generatingideas]

this is probably one of the best videos on this channel

[beederbodder]

I was just praying and I felt something in my head saying that you uploaded. Funny enough, I was praying about this exact topic. I know the Lord lead me here.

[Pigskincoach]

Brother Parr please get excited I like it when you preach !!!!

[MrCaribKaraoke]

Easily top 10 channels on youtube....simple and informative and Godly

[neydigarcia]

My daughter was playing w my phone and clicked on this video! This is exactly what I am going through at this very moment, I have been going through bad thoughts and they were getting stronger but I do feel that you were speaking directly to me and many others! Thank you for this!

[ty-the-christian-guy]

You know? One of the things that helps from my experience is not going in the direction the Holy Spirit tells me not to go in. It helps assure me that I’m moving in the direction God tells me to move in. Cause let me tell you, I’ve went where God told me not to go and I regret it.

[sentfrhevyn]

When i say GOD is ALWAYS RIGHT ON TIME !! AMEN thank you for this ❤

[rinusiby]

thankyou I really needed this, god bless you
