There are things people say with words like MOST ALL MANY.. to which is not true. Some say few Churchs follow the spirit and many of thiefs and are Satan. So people like that I have gone to in love asking.. and to this day never got an answer. There are things said by some that they can't back up with the word.

And God does not talk like this. We all have the right to defend our selfs. He does not judge nor condemn. He never speaks that leaves you in fear worry and doubt.

So.. since this video is posted.. always look to what any one says if its written. Learn to know how GOD talks...and then about others :) Just what GOD would say and show us. I would not ever listen to this young man.

How about.. try this.. seek pray ask GOD just about Churchs in your home town. He will never ever speak negitive about them. Nor will He show you. Now He could show you something.. oh but then.. He also told you to GO to that Church and tell them. BUT. God Had already show them WHY they should listen to you..

YOUTUBE if is full of GOD talking to.. and wow who are they? Who knows them? And when you put them together .. so much confusion. To many leaders.. each know they are right..

Again clear answer is GOD will never use fear.. its not of God. Even the FEAR of the lord is not mans definition of fear.

ME PERSONALLY.. YOUTUBE FACEBOOK TWEETER.. not places I go to HEAR seek God. I always look for WHO ARE YOU WHO KNOWS YOU..how long have you walked in what you preach teach. Be suprised how many DON'T will not go to Church and have no one over them. Even the 12 answered to each other. NEVER EVER alone! :) PLEASE not here to offend.

ANYONE that says JESUS is lord..came in the flesh died on the cross for the words sin. Was buried and rose the 3rd day is the only way to the Father.. Is of Him. We go where we were never called.. we put our selfs to walk in a office we were never called to. Its how we speak about others.. I always say Father if I am wrong forgive me and change me. The other? Duh there not wrong.. :)

I pray to Jesus daily. Or I think I do anyways.

I pray a lot most days. But I'm scared that I'm praising the wrong Lord. How can I know what Jesus really sounds like? How will I know what it sounds like?


I don't want to go to Hell because I was praising the wrong God. I really don't. I don't.

I have been thinking about your thread and I realize that right now at this time saying don't go to YouTube is akin to asking someone to chop off a limb because at this time some people need things like this. So with that in mind I would first recommend The ten minute bible hour and here is a video from him:


and I would recommend anything from EWTN like such


and there are much better videos than that guy in your post.

I wanted to say something but words escape me. I'll try to say something though. Anyway, I wanted to encourage you and to tell you that you don't have to live with that kind of fear, obsessing about details or even your faith to the point of despair. We are the weak ones, the confused ones, we are the ones who err, we are the ones who only know in part. We can accept this, and trust that God is the one who knows, He is the one who is perfect, He is the one who saves.

At some point, we have to carry our faith, instead of trying to have someone else's faith. We don't have to fixate that much on other people in a desperate effort to look up to them, for them to be the carriers of our faith. Also, we will learn patience, and we will learn that we have a lot to learn. If we want the faith of a 100-year old, we will have to live to be a 100-year old, we can't have it today. We can't carry our cross for 100 days worth in just one day, we have to understand the importance of growth and time.

We can look up to God, look up to Christ, like children, as we are, and trust Him with whatever faith and trust we have. Down here we are so imperfect, and we will have our troubles in this world, but Christ has overcome this world.

Some of us have ill minds, some of us might be plagued by fear and anxiety. It can be especially hard in spiritual matters, when fear rules over us, because then we start to panic and our fears get plenty of ammo from even the kindest words. But there is a point where self-examination stops being useful, and where it starts to become about endless anxious self-occupation with no relief. Desperate need to know all, to be right, to feel right, in the middle of so many differing denominations and labyrinths of dogma.

But no matter where we are, no matter how weak we are, no matter how confused we are, we can turn to God, He knows our hearts, He knows fully who we are, He knows fully who He is, nothing escapes Him, nothing fools Him. He gave us His Son when we least deserved it. We didn't reach up by our 100% pure faith, understanding and effort, we didn't climb up to impress Him. No, we did the opposite, but He came down. He already lowered Himself, in His Son, who died for us, righteous for the unrighteous, God for the ungodly.


Try not to fear, give all your worries to Him. He hears you just fine. Even the Spirit prays and intercedes for you. Have hope, choose to have it. Don't let the confusion of this life scare you. We're all just people, each of us very imperfect in ourselves, and different to one another.

"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God."



You don't have to hear voices. I don't either. I can just trust with the faith I've been given, no matter how I feel - my feelings are irrelevant as they are so often against me in my illness - and I can choose peace, choose to leave it in God's care. And instead of obsessing about myself, turning inward to the point where my heart is twisted, I can trust in His love, His power, His strength, and I can start to step out of myself and to try and love my neighbor with a happy heart.


"for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"



Said a prayer for you, Christ be with you. Try not to burden yourself brother. We all learn, we all grow. For new believers, and even sometimes for old ones, there can be this anxious need to be somewhere right now, like we'd have to run 400 miles in a day. We want to skip the journey. But we will learn patience and many other good things as well, we can't help it. One day at a time.

I just don't want to go to Hell. Or anyone to go to Hell for that matter. I want Hell to be empty, but sadly that's not the case.

It's terrifying knowing that people that lived hundreds of years ago are still burning to this very day. Forever.
Nobody is burning right now, and they do not burn forever when they get thrown into the lake of fire - they will be destroyed, forever.

I don't trust anyone outside of the bible that says they hear an audible voice from God or Jesus. ESPECIALLY if what they claim to hear runs contrary to scripture.

As Justin Peters puts it "If you want to hear God speak, read the bible. If you want to hear Him speak audibly, read it out loud."
I'm praying to the Jesus that I read about in the Gospels, that's who I want to hear my prayers. If that's the wrong Jesus, then I guess all of our faith is in vain. Because we have to believe that God came in the flesh as Jesus Christ, we have to believe that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected, and we have to believe that the bible is the word of God in order to know those things.
Without faith that the bible is the word of God, we have no foundation for our faith in Jesus.

People may do Bible research to gain instruction. Those born of the Spirit might find themselves speaking God’s instructions to others.

In Acts 8:26-40 You may find The Spirit said to Philip, "Go near, and join yourself to this chariot."

Philip started to talk to the Ethiopian eunuch riding in a chariot while reading Isaiah. Philip told him the good news about Jesus and baptized him. After this the Holy Spirit directed him to another place.

Fear is not the fruit of the Holy Spirit. This man, though he seems to have some good intentions, is causing you to stumble, doubt your faith and even doubt your salvation. This particular video is egregious. It sews doubt into your relationship with your Lord and if that is what you get out of his teachings then IMHO he is a false teacher. Remember satan can come as an angel of light. I will pray for both you and him so that the "Good News" is spread among the weary.
Be blessed and stay healthy!

Fear not. You weren't, and you aren't. God knows your intent.

I like the way C. S. Lewis said it in Chapter 15 of The Last Battle. In it, Emeth tells of his meeting with Aslan:
Then I fell at his feet and thought, Surely this is the hour of death, for the Lion (who is worthy of all honor) will know that I have served Tash all my days and not him. Nevertheless, it is better to see the Lion and die than to be Tisroc of the world and live and not to have seen him. But the Glorious One bent down his golden head and touched my forehead with his tongue and said, "Son, thou art welcome." But I said, "Alas, Lord, I am no son of thine but the servant of Tash." He answered, "Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me." Then by reason of my great desire for wisdom and understanding, I overcame my fear and questioned the Glorious One and said "Lord, is it then true, as the Ape said, that thou and Tash are one"" The Lion growled so that the earth shook (but his wrath was not against me) and said, "It is false. Not because he and I are one, but because we are opposites - I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. For he and I are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Therefore, if any man swear by Tash and keep his oath for the oath's sake, it is by me that he has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him. And if any man do cruelty in my name, then, though he says the name Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves and by Tash his deed is accepted. Dost thou understand, Child?" I said "Lord, thou knowest how much I understand." But I said also (for the truth constrained me), "Yet I have been seeking Tash all my days." "Beloved," said the Glorious One, "unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly seek."​

Youtube is full of wacky people. Dont get sucked into their world.
True 'dat. I'm not sure that that guy really means that it's vitally important to know exactly what Jesus looked and sounded like, but if he does then he hasn't the slightest clue what he's talking about.

I know Jesus, and I know Peter. Who the heck is that clow... er,... guy?

Boxman,

Faith that Jesus died for your sins and rose DEAFEATING death and hell for you ONCE AND FOR ALL. End of story! Youre being bullied by “fear of hell” which is the root of all these concerns. Notice you go from asking....

1. Am i praying to the right Jesus? I dont want to go to hell.

2. Am i living as he wants, or praying enough? I dont want to go to hell.

3. Am i doing this right? I dont want to go to hell.

Notice the pattern. You get one question settled and another comes up. All having to do with going to hell. Tell those thoughts to shut and answer them with the Word of God......

God gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him, SHOULD NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE !
Stop listening to those thoughts, squash them. You know Jesus. God says you have ETERNAL LIFE.

What God says goes! End of story!

Stay away from YouTube! It seems to trigger you.

I will. I always feel like I NEED to see his videos for some reason. Idk why when they bring me fear.


Its not if your watching Youtube but who you are watching. I recommend Doug Batchelor, End of the Age, and Discovering the Jewishness of Jesus. Unsubscribe to the guy if his channel is causing you to fall. Also nobody is in hell yet, judgment day has not come yet! (Daniel 12:2 Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace)
(Revelation 20:12-14 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death)

But how do I know that it is Him that I am hearing? How do I know that I'm not being led astray?
I have prayed before, but maybe I'm not praying right.
Boxman,

What sends people to hell is UNBELIEF in the gospel, that Jesus died and rose to save them from death and hell.

Belief and faith is confidence and steadfastness that Jesus Christ is your savior by what he did for you. Unbelievers do not get life. Do NOT be wishy washy and keep questioning your salvation. He wants you to be confident, knowing he isnt a liar.
Unbelief is the worst sin.... THATS what keeps you from getting the promise of eternal life.

He tells us to keep our confidence STEADFAST to the end. Hes done all he can do when he sent His Son. Hes not doing it again. His shed blood was sufficient to save you from hell ONCE and FOR ALL!
There is no other salvation.

UNBELIEF in what Jesus did for you is the deadliest of all. Never ever ever question that again. Ditch those scary thoughts that keep bombarding you, that cause doubt in you.

I understand what you are going through. I went through the very same thing many years ago. I lived in fear about it for over a year. Make no mistake, this is an attack from Satan. He is the father of lies and there's nothing he loves more than deceiving the saints of God into believing that they are not who they are. You are a saint of God. I know this just by the very fact that you are worried about this.
At the time, I had spoken to many people including my pastor about it, trying to find an answer, but nothing helped. Finally one day like I said about a year into it I was praying in my car, my Bible was next to me and for what ever reason I opened it, it opened to what I call a slick page. They're all though the Bible I have with different prayers and such on them. I read the slick page and it said in no uncertain terms that what I was missing was Faith. I had stopped trusting God and was only listening to my fears. After I read the slick, I looked to the regular page next to it, it was Hebrews 11. At the time I had never read Hebrews 11, it was all about Faith. I then experienced peace that I hadn't felt in quite a while. I went home later to show my wife, that slick page was no longer there. I couldn't explain it. To this day it's still not there.
I hope this helps you remember who you are and remember to trust God. God will never let you go, He paid way to much for you.

Boxman,

There are lots and lots of scriptures that clarify you are saved by believing the gospel. There are also stern warnings of those who fail to believe, due to unbelief. He wants you to believe and have assurance. Thats the whole reason he sent his son.

in fact, Hebrews warns of those who will fail to enter into his rest and receive His promise.....

Hebrews 3...
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN NOT your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

The unbelieving could not obtain the Promise and enter into His rest,,,,,he warns of having an EVIL HEART of UNBELIEF.....it says in DEPARTING from the living God.
A heart of unbelief God says....departs from him! Stand firm and dont budge off his promise of LIFE!

Do not fear, as Hebrews 13:9 says, we shall not follow strange teachings. Strengthen your faith, where it’ll be so strong that the Holy Spirit with debunk those who doubt our Lord Jesus Christ. I recommend the YouTube Channel “Inspiring Philosophy” who debunks plenty of these doubts.
