    Moses knew who he was. His mother was able to nurse him when he was an infant and raise him for the first instrumental years of life. When he was older he had to choose whether to be an Eqyptian Prince or a Hebrew slave. He showed his choice when he killed the Egyptian slave-driver and fled Egypt, only for God to call him back 40yrs later

    Storytelling and video experimentation have become my recent passions. VideoGPT gracefully entered the scene, enhancing my content with its subtle yet powerful impact.
  • Why is Satan always called out at the end of prayer? With his name Amon-Amen 🤔
  • This is my first time listening. One thing I was so grateful to hear is how gracious is God, and explaining the laws. I’m reading the Book of Samuel. I stop and say to God, why is this happening. The thousands of men, women and children that are killed. Sometimes I just don’t get it. It does not stop me from reading the Bible, and sometimes God enlightens me in a way that I understand. I guess you would say I’m a fairly new Christian of 10 years. Brought up Catholic, left the church in my early 20’s. I have always had a personal relationship with Jesus. I’ve gone back years in my journal, I’m always telling Jesus everything. I’m 78 years old, and I have since destroyed those journals. When you get to be my age, some things only Jesus has to know. I have been Baptized by water on a mission trip to Africa in 2018. I have gone to several churches, but during Covid I found Pastor Rick. I do belong to Saddleback Church, but I only live stream. I will be following your podcast. Thank you, thank you Jesus for guiding me to YouTube.

  • Warum wird im Gebet zum Schluss immer Satan gerufen? Mit seinem Namen Amon-Amen 🤔 Why is Satan always called out at the end of prayer? With his name Amon-Amen 🤔

    The only book people feel or think they don't have to read from beginning. It's like watching Matrix 4 without seeing Matrix 1,2 and 3 and think they know or feel what the Matrix is. WOE to pastor is uttered for a reason but can they stop deceiving those who be living the lies they be spreading? Heaven is not promised like the land is forever.

    Why didn’t god have a wife and daughters like all of the other gods?
  • What is your source that law revelatory and what is the date of that source? Since there are death penalties and other severe punishments associated with these laws I find your statement a little hard to believe. Hey, ceremonial law, that tells us about the nature of God, but the law we are told is the schoolmaster to bring us onto Christ that is to say That by our failed attempts to fulfill the law, we see that we are Lawless sinners, and need a savior. But it only works if you actually trying to fulfill it, if you try with all your heart to keep it, it will prove to you or unable to keep it. There’s no man that lived upon the Earth who has not sinned safe for Christ? Who is GOD himselve incarnate. The soul that Senator chill, die, a reference not just a physical death to hell, as was the case with Adam, who died in the moment 38 of the forbidden fruit, and yet lived to 930 or so years. The law shows us that we are sinners and unable to save ourselves. That’s God has provided a lamb as he told Abraham, who said my son, my son, my only begotten son, as if he forgot Ishmael existed.
  • CREATION ---> 24 ELUL 4005 BC SIN ---> 14/16 NISSAN 3971 BC 3971 BC + 1948 = 2023 2023 + 75 = 1948 AND WHY STILL 1948 (ABRAHAM) BECAUSE 1948 IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR GOD ---> ISRAEL IS BORN AGAIN SO SORRY BUT YOUR TIMELINE IS WRONG FROM THE START
