Holy Spirit will You be my daily minute by minute reminder of why I am here?
Amen and amen, in Jesus mighty name, amen.
Amen.Hallelujah Thank You For sharing this devotion God’s Word with us.
Amen! Thank you for sharing valuable information ! God bless!
Amen. it's choosing God all the time. it's striving to be holy everyday of your life. it's putting your trust to God like a child literally. it's choosing to do what is good and right all the time. following God isn't really easy but will give peace in your heart. we are not perfect so if we commit sins we confess our sins and ask God's forgiveness. but always remember God knows what you're up to so if you think that you can just easily commit sins because you can just ask for forgiveness anyway, you're just fooling yourself because you cannot hide anything from Him. He knows what's on your heart and mind. in other words be serious when it comes to following Christ make Him a priority in your life. what usually happens is that we follow Christ based on convenience if it's not convenient to us we don't follow him.
Thank you Jesus: amen!
AMEN YES

Good word.
Beautifully said!

Lose your life…what?
To take up the cross means to be willing to face temptations, repent and do good works in the Lord's name. The cross represents temptation. To deny oneself is to love the Lord and our neighbor more than ourselves. To love the Lord is to love the good from Him. Good is of love and love is of good. His love is the Divine . The Lord's Divine Love is the Father in Him and what is in a person is the soul. The Soul of Jesus is the Father. That's how the Father and Son are one, one as Soul and Body in the Lord. Jesus said, My Father and I are one. Soul and body are one AMEN
Thank you brother Stanley
Thank you so much Dr.Stanley for this sermon. Teaching us to walk in gods way.
Amen
This is a PERFECT explanation of this scripture passage.
Amen!
Sometimes it does mean that following Jesus we must deny things to ourselves. For example, do I go to see a football final or do I go to church? Do I upgrade to a newer, larger TV, or do I make a donation?However, the closer we walk with Jesus, the less of a sacrifice these choices will feel, until choosing to follow Jesus becomes a daily habit, a new way of life. At that point, we are a new creature. We are born again.
We can't be crown wearers there …if we are not cross bearers here
Heavenly father, In agreement with this whole message I loosen the promise of luke 9:23, 2 corinthians 6:14-15 my for life and the lives of my opponents at all times, everyone will carry it's own cross daily, binding every lie of the devil I should carry another one's 'karma' to the pit of hell upon no return in my life, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
Oooooohhhhhh! Oh my gosh! I literally thought I had to deny my feelings completely and like just be a robot for God. It means place God at the center of everything… obey Him. Think like Him… Allow Him to guide you… Ooohhhh! God bless Dr. Stanley a million fold! Thank you, sir!
This was the first of your videos I've watched but it will not be the last! Y'all stay blessed
Lord thank you for Mr Charles Stanley that you use him to help me in my Christian walk
Thank you now I know what it actually means.
Amen.
I needed this
Praise the Lord!
Help us to keep you the centre of everything we do each day Lord!
Praise God. Amen.
Thank you, am Blessed to understand the way of the Cross, The cross itself has two pieces one piece horizontally placed and the other is vertical. The horizontal one which carries the spread hands is the sign of touching other peoples life , so its good to talk to the Lord everyday how and who you should touch on that particular day, write them down and listen to the holy spirit, then you will find the best direction for that particular day. The vertical Piece is the one which the feet, heart and head are attached. This means it symbolize and reminds us to let our minds be transformed by God's word, our hearts to carry the message and do it with passion and our feet will only move in Jesus Direction no matter how stretched our hands, Thank you
Thank you so much!!
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ of the blessing of this video.
Amen.

God has spoken let the church say Amen
