Charles Stanley | – Walking In The Favor of God – Part 1 – Dr. Charles Stanley


The world was a sinful and wicked place, and it grieved God so much that He regretted ever creating mankind. Yet Noah found favor in the eyes of God (Genesis 6:5-7). In this three-part series, Dr. Stanley uses both the story of Noah’s obedience to God and examples from his own life to help us discover how we can listen, trust, and obey the Lord. God may not be calling you to build an Ark, but He is most certainly calling you to fulfill His will. When we make wise decisions that honor and bring glory to Him, we will find His favor in our own lives.

  1. Charles Stanley was a servant to God to speak and train me up. After I excepted God and my life changed I was introduced to his sermons on the radio and they always was in line to what I learned in Sunday school and church that week. I thank God for Charles Stanley's spirit to always do his will.

  6. If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if His love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Book of Philippians chapter 2(MSG)

  7. I have had a rough time this year, as many others have had as well. Feeding my spirit with God's word is all that is pulling me through. My You and I all find peace and happiness through this man's Godly message.

  8. Heavenly Father I thank you for the gift of Pastor Charles Stanley, his preachings inspire me to live a Godly life, gives me hope. I pray you will take good care of his health and give him long long life to continue his ministry. I pray too that you will give him a clear sharp memory for as long as he preaches Amen.

  9. Amazing Testimony of God completely Curing Pancreatic Cancer!!!
    My name is Dae Gyung Kim. I am the
    senior pastor
    of Sarang Jeil Church in Ban Weul Dong,
    Hwaseong city, Gyeongi province.
    Our church is part of The General Assembly
    of Presbyterian Church in Korea.
    I was diagnosed with the deadly pancreatic cancer.
    One morning I collapsed suddenly and was rushed
    to the S Hospital in Seoul.
    Doctors told me I should begin to make
    my funeral arrangements.
    The cancer cells had already spread
    throughout my lymph nodes,
    stomach and intestines,
    and brain so there was no chance for me to survive.
    I received a death sentence.
    But God healed me miraculously.
    Through earnest request I once again received
    a CT scan, an MRI, a spinal examination,
    a radiation examination, a blood test, etc.
    These detailed tests revealed
    that all the cancer cells
    had completely disappeared from my body.
    Doctors said that this was impossible
    and that it was a miracle.
    I did not even go through
    with the 36 chemotherapy treatments
    that doctors ordered me to have.
    But a medically impossible healing did happen to me.
    Only by God’s grace did I receive healing from cancer.
    I was given the gift to heal diseases through intercessory prayer.
    I want to upload my testimony to YouTube
    to be a witness to the living God’s power
    I recorded a short, two minute testimony in both Korean
    and English so that this truth could be proclaimed
    over the whole world.
    I’m so filled with thanks
    that I am using the comment section
    to let everyone know what I have experienced.
    Surely God the creator is alive
    and is in control of all things.
    Please watch this video
    and share it with people close to you
    and let them know that there is a way to live.
    For those who desire their illness to be healed,
    If you leave your prayer requests
    in the YouTube comment section of
    <Reverend Dae Kyung Kim healing prayer>.
    We will pray on your behalf every Sunday at 4PM.
    For English speakers,
    you may upload your prayer requests in English as well.
    I hope you live a long and healthy life
    and afterwards, we are able to meet in heaven.

    If you request a healing prayer by comment,
    I will pray in order within 30 minutes.
    Please write your name along with the prayer topic.
    I call each and every one to pray.
    Please watch the healing testimony
    and YouTube video posted at the beginning
    of the comment and pray with faith.
    The healing prayer time starts at 4pm every week.
    It proceeds once a week at the same time in order.
    I will continue to pray for those who requested prayer even during the morning prayer time every day.
    Please pray with Amen as you listen to the healing prayer video every day.
    If you pray for not only yourself, but for other patients, you will be healed.
    My wife, Kim Myung-sook, was also cured of diabetes while praying with tears for curing the diseases of the saints.
    I believe that God will hear you
    if you repent of all sins and pray
    with a pure heart.
    Please recover your health and devote your life to the church
    you attend and live a blessed life.
    Healing is done by God.

  10. After listening to many,many pastors preaching , I have to come back to listening to pastor Charles. He is a godly man. I feel relaxed, safe, happy with him . I feel like I found my true home. I trust him and respect him. His videos have no commercials. This shows that he cares for us. He wants us to listen to him peacefully. I feel kindness from him. What is in the heart can touch people. Our soul knows…
    Every night, I listen to him and I am happy.

  11. The four letters given to Moses as our CREATOR’s name were YHVH pronounced as YAHUAH. Some people insert a “w” and make Yahuwah which is wrong.

    Some people claim they were YHWH from which they get Yaweh. Problem with this is that the letter “W” was recent addition. Please google it.

    The Jehovah’s Witness claim it to be JHVH. The problem with the is that the letter “J” is also a new addition. Please google it.

    The four letters given to Moses were YHVH. How do you get god, jesus, christ, allah, shiva buddha, from YHVH? You cannott. Even the Bible translators like Wycliffe agree.

    Some people use the name YAH. This name was used by the women when the Jews were in bondage in Egypt when they wrote their songs of deliverance because at that time they did not have the true name because Moses have not received it yet.

    Now that we have the true name why use a make believe name like “YAH”

    Christ is from krishna, jesus is from zeus both coined and popularized by Constantine the Great. God is a generic pagan deity.

    ("PRAYERS destroy the enemies plans." (the late Pastor Stephen Darby):

    GOD'S message to ALL believers IS /and herein lies our POWER:
    2 CHRONICLES 7:14:

    Then if MY people, who are called by MY NAME will humble themselves, if they will PRAY and seek ME and stop their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and I will HEAL/RESTORE their land.

    (HE did it for the righteous kings in the OLD TESTAMENT.) (KJV  )
    HE can surely do it for us.

    GOD will Bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you (HIS people.)     Pass it on….

  13. Thank you God for Dr. Stanley for his powerful teaching. Thank you Jesus for giving me the courage and strength to wait upon your well for me and my family and I am so greatful that I am highly favored. Thank you so much Jesus. Hallelujah Amen

  14. WARNING: I received a reply here to my comments as did at least one other person who is portraying themselves under Charles Stanley's name with his picture, but they are asking for money for Nigeria and account information and the way their reply reads is not the way of Dr. Stanley. I'm certainly not going to reply to the scam. I hope Dr. Stanley is aware.
