Intimacy with God - Andy Stanley

Awesome message very timely and spoke directly to me. Thank you Lord!

Best sermon ever.

touched... thank you from the bottom of my heart

Mr. Andy Stanley: You believe in God, but you do not believe God. You base your understanding upon your own corrupted and defiled carnal reasoning. You remain a 'natural' man / 1st. Adam who's alienated and cut-off from God; still dead in trespasses and sins. Your teaching, as God defines, are man's 'wisdom of words' to which He laughs and counts as nothing. You constantly bring God down to your level so as to explain to the perishing, a God that makes sense. And you'll never come onto the knowledge nor saving grace of my Lord by using "the smarts that god gave you". A man is born again (from above), not of blood, nor the will of man, nor of the will of the flesh, but of God: born of the water (God's Word) and of the Spirit of God. You can't get there from here through logic, because that's not God's way. Which is so simply, an eight year old can say with all confidence that he asked the Lord Jesus into his heart and can proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord. Then when asked how he knows this, he'll say because the Bible told me so. That's called faith which comes before one believes. For me, faith is the substance that beckens one's confidence to believe God, no matter what. Man always gets it backwards and God does that for the simple fact that He is a jealous God who knows our hearts and how much man wishes to glory in self; thereby, robbing God of His glory due.. look around. Opinions are like butts, everyone has one. So get yourself the truly inspired Word of God (King James Authorized Version 1611) which is able to save your soul through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. Thank you.

this is sooo gooooodd..i love it. so much God's truth.

This was so needed tonight💜

Andy thank you for being a blessing and for this encouraging truth.

Hearing Andy Stanley for the first time, has definitely brought a deeper meaning to me. Intimacy with God is so real and wonderful. As a listener of Dr. Charles Stanley, he is a great man and his son will follow in his foot steps. Great work" and God Bless You"

Thank you for restoring my faith in the Christian people. It give me hope to know there are people like you out in the world.

holy shit, this was too good to be true

lol that's the reason I don't go to churches here because it's too fking fake and stupid. No vulnerability. It is so empty. That is Las Vegas!!

omg this was soon good. lol. perfect description of American culture and lifestyle

America is so sad when it comes to relationships. Ew. American people miss out on so much. The world really needs a balance cuz the poor miss out on a lot of worldly things but they are truly filled in spirit.

So true

I like the music that is setting the tone for peace in a world that needs it. Not the loud music where I have to plug my ears even tho I'm in church and they are trying to get me pumped up for the lesson or whatever. I don't think we need to get pumped up but be quiet and listen sometimes. I mean there are times to celebrate but not always. change up the formula.

Happy Sabbath! :-)

This is so on point! :-)

Preach! :-)

Break it down! :-)

Pastor Andy, you ARE definitely your dad's son & you both are definitely God's sons. :-)

Thank you for relaying this message Andy

two years ago, jesus appeared to me in a dream. i thought it was funny at the time because he started to sing 'im a genie in a bottle baby, you gotta rub me the right way!' Then i looked at him. his pants were down nd he was jerking off. i got down on my knees, opened my mouth, and munched away on my daily bread. mmmmm buttery jesus

Beware. God does not and did not submit to man. God in the person of Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for mankind that all may have hope of salvation/heaven. He did not submit himself to man...Jesus submitted himself to God the Father. Learn the difference.

HA! Another 'preacher' that can't call your money...money. Like all the others he calls it 'finances'. God wants your 'finances'...Give of your 'finances'....ha
