You studied and understood the bible only to be a salesman in this video. Why do all content creators who are followers of Jesus christ tend to fall into the devil’s trap by selling merch? Aren’t the likes and subscription of your audiences not enough to support your needs? Whatever reaon you got may it be charity or for-a-cause etc., YOU are not to use any thing that has something to do with Jesus Christ to earn a single penny!!! Your biblical wisdom won’t matter if you try to use it for Sales.
God so loved the world that he sent his only son to die for our sins amen praise Jesus and spread the gospel at pel
This is so good! You keep me on the track I feel motivated after watching this video . Im so lucky to just bump up with your YouTube channel. Thank you please continue to inspire us.
This helps thank you
I love this channel! I started a Christian channel and would appreciate the support!
Amen
For someone so pure be injected by the sins of the whole world, it would have been so uncomfortable and dread for our Lord.
This is crazy, yesterday I prayed for God to show me how to have self control and I randomly decided to read 1 Corinthians 9 yesterday, and then today I found this video. Thank you so much.
I also have a comment about Tip #5: Look At GOD 10:24 , and it is that I believe that the effectiveness of this tip is highly dependent on how we perceive/view/know God which is also directly affected and built by first surrendering your will and self to GOD, then spending time with Him in prayer and study of the Word to build that relationship and love for God. It is hard to hurt someone who 1.) you TRULY love and 2.) the GOD of the whole UNIVERSE once you truly come to know the weight of that statement (both are built through surrender, prayer and study of the Word of God because why date (build a relationship with someone in preparation for marriage) if you won’t get married in the end?). To surrender simply ask God, be real and say its hard to surrender. He will help you–He will help us. Thank you, and stay blessed.
Praise Jesus
About religion and discipline, here’s a fun thing I learned about Ancient Egypt:
They didn’t believe in punishment in the afterlife.
Despite the whole Weighing of Heart, the idea there is that if you have too many burdens, Ammit eats your soul, and you simply cease to be. No eternal torment in the beyond. It is greatly dramatized to be a "fate worse than death", but at the same time is rather merciful, because those burdens would prevent them from being able to move on at all.
Additionally, in the Journey to their Paradise after the Weighing of Heart, they would undergo trials/tasks to earn their place, and from what I know there’s no consequences for failing other than "it will take longer to get there".
What awaits them in the Paradise? Fertile lands, bountiful harvest and hunts for forevermore. They continue to work, enjoy of the fruits of their labor, rest, repeat, but all this reflects that the soul continues to live a life in the beyond, their journey on earth done, so that it can continue in the beyond
Bottom note: Ancient Egypt didn’t believe in "punishment in the afterlife", only "trials", and even to have their soul eaten by Ammit would require excessive burden and could be seen as an act of mercy by eliminating all burden and suffering.
Additional: Buddhism underlines a similar idea, but in that everyone is bound to the Wheel of Karma, and their highs and lows in reincarnation depends on things they did in life, and only those who attained enlightenment would be free from the Wheel of Karma and ascend to a higher plane of existence.
And no, I don’t have a religion, I just observe them all to find out more about them, I like being free to open eyes to everything, everywhere…
I’ve learned that denying yourself is helping your self.
Praise Jesus Christ, The Lord of Lords and King of Kings!
Spread the gospel
The timing is just amazing (God’s plan)
Thanks, man. I’ve been struggling to get self control, this helped alot

Start at 2:24 to get what the title is offering and get by the undesirable marketing. That said, I really enjoyed this video and agree with the suggestions.
The animation is great. Thanks for adding Jujitsu Kaisen in there. God bless your ministry ❤
I am never disappointed with your studies. They really refresh me spiritually. This is truly God’s blessings
Amen
Here’s a solution: Jesus lives in us all so let His self control power shine through us
Please pray for my young adult son.
He loves God very much & has gotten very close and obedient to Him. Because of his Asperger’s, he struggles with his faith & anger towards God when he thinks that God might be abandoning him.
Please pray for his full surrender to God and the comprehension to understand & appreciate God’s love for him & to help with his anger that comes along with his Asperger’s.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Something that I’ve been struggling with and I was talking to my pastor about today thank you Jesus so much. God will always show us a way. This was such a helpful video.
For two minutes and twenty-five seconds, it takes to get to the actual subject of the video….smh
Love 1 Corinthians 9:27
How can I be an example to my sons, if I don’t first set the standards of discipline and walking with Christ
Bearing fruit is not a struggle. It is evidence of the seed.
Such a beautiful & helpful video. God bless y’all
Amen!
