The Parable of Ernie

[vladimirkovalski]

The pope is the antichrist who controls the new world order. The pope is the anti christ the lord jesus warned his people about. The prophecy of the bible warned us that the anti christ would come out of the divided roman empire kill Gods people change the sabbath day and glorify himself as high as christ . The popes achieved fullfing Gods prophecy conserning the anti christ. The pope and his jesuits worship satan secretley they are serving satan they control the freemasons and illumanati

[nettieheartful]

yes there is alot of apathy and all of that attitude of he hasnt come back!

[raqueltoth]

I tried to help 3 sick birds, but unfortunatly they died.. I'm happy for your little friend!

[AVIVAH4EVER]

Thank you for Your Sweet message about Ernie, He or She reminds me of The Dove, the Holy Spirit leading us in all truth. Let us pray for the Dove, the Ruach Ha Kodesh, who will lead us to bring Praise unto Yashua Messiah. Shekinah Glory fill us with your annointing oil and keep us under Your Wings. Psalm 91. Peace and Blessings!

[pilgrim4truth]

Thanks bro for sharing. There is no security in this world, only Jesus Christ can offer any form of security. No matter how much we care for someone or something, our care alone is insufficient, their security is not found in us or another but only in the God of creation through Jesus Christ.

[RAP511]

I watched this video a long time ago, and today a found a baby dove that was alone on the ground. I thought of this video soon after. I am trying to take care of this baby. What kind of stuff did you feed him? All I can get him to take is water. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

[emmthreejonny]

Kind of broke me what happened to the bird after seeing how happy it looked on the pictures.

[JustFollowChrist]

What an adorable bird.

Yes this is a great lesson, thank you.

May you stay blessed in Jesus Christ our Lord

[brentpieczynski]

This story was nice enough for me to, share with my mother.

[worshipHim4]

Very touching and moving story.I'm sure you and your family made his time on earth a very happy and meaningful time. Sorry he had to be taken in such a way.Much love and comfort to you.Thank you for sharing and posting.Lisa

[lilchrizz123]

thats beautiful man ..Gods creation is so beautiful hmm..God Bless you guys

[timm9]

Very Nice! On a Side not I use to raise pigeons and they are alot like Doves,but like doves they are hawks favorite food. It's sad,but a very normal common thing that happens so don't feel bad.

[carrrrera]

That is the sweetest story, I have a cockatiel who is very loving ,but I can tell the dove is the sweetest thing I feel bad though how the falcon took him away. I would be so heart broken too.

[lavay74]

That is a wonderful video. We should all be so caring. God Bless.

[silmalila]

Your video had me in tears, thinking of all of my friends who do not know Christ and are without hope.

[bibleortraditions]

There is always hope until they take their last breath. This is why we must present the Gospel to them. They may shrug their shoulders now or even make jokes. We may even feel uncomfortable approaching friends. But in the end it is all worth it and they will thank you for teaching them.

[silmalila]

They do far worse than shrug their shoulders and make jokes. There are former friends of mine who are filled with hatred for me. Others make outrageous and foul comments about the Saviour, which is more than I can bear. Usually my attempts at leading people to the Lord are met with derision and ridicule.

I gladly play the fool for Christ, yet I have yet to lead someone to Him.

I will continue playing Johnny Appleseed, however.

[bibleortraditions]

I am really sorry to hear that they make jokes, but try not to be too discouraged. We just do our best and remember that it is the Holy Spirit that ultimately brings people to salvation. What one man plants, another waters, and the Holy Spirit makes it grow.

[siftedby666]

good for you,you will be blessed for your efforts

[Kalaunu1991]

the reason the riticule you is beacuse there a. just assholes or b. people dont tend to like people takeing away there internal freedome of human decision. turn people that are willing to christ. people that riticule and are sad will see joy and later join christ.

[Xkin2thekingX]

[xxSOLDIERofCHRISTxx]

i'll stick to my fat little gold finches they don't like me, but they sure do love my thisle seed i provide for them :)

[daveh240]

This is great!!! You truly are a beautiful soul... Thank you for putting out such wonderful videos. May the lord bless you so that you may put out many, many, more...

[Adelina1389]

My little canary was attacked by some animal, and we found him almost dead on the balcony: he couldn't move, speak, and his eyes were barely opened. We took care of him in a little shoe box, and now, almost two months later, he is just like before-but, he will never be able to sing because of the shock he experienced. God taught me that He, too, took us when we were dead and He took great care of us, and gave us life-I still believe that one day my little canary will sing again!

[princessmarthajandio]

I'd love to hear your little canary the moment he recovers of that shock.

[Adelina1389]

i would love that moment so much, as well! But God has His own timing! Thanks for the comment!

[zionic144nz]

cool

[aetherdream]

That's a great story, I really enjoyed it.  Very touching.

[flowerchildA]

This is a turtle dove..we have many that come to our bird seed we put out daily....this is a precious thing to do for one of Gods creatures

[bibleortraditions]

He is actually a Mourning Dove. Wikipedia has a lot of good info on them. Thanks for posting.

[princessmarthajandio]

This is really touching & ture.

Thank you very much for this message.

[Ramohog]

Life is not fair... fortunately God is. We all need to accept His gift of salvation, and follow the ways of His Son. Beautiful story, and a great life lesson. Thanks for sharing!

[judithorloffmd]

so sweet this video is!

[3lias9ulido]

great vid i feel kinda bad for ernie tho :(

[aethiops007]

Amen!

[gospel4christ]

Fantastic message!

God Bless!

[windshield48]

This is touching the heart...to take care and help a little bird as much as possible...

Thank you so much for sharing this story!

[skintightpotato]

Oh my goodness, how sad...I really wasn't expecting that (which I suppose is appropriate to the message). Good message and reminder that we need to keep oil in our lamps.

For his short life and premature demise, he was at least able to touch and teach others with his story, which is much to be said for a bird. A life worth lived.

[bibleortraditions]

Thank you!

[feba2]

great story and warning...

[pelitomojao]

This reminds me when Jesus said : if you recieve this little ones  you recieve me, when he was speaking about how to treat others=treating Him.

[galaxydreams]

Works may not matter but you did a really great thing helping that little guy. What a blessing for him and a blessing for you! I am so sorry that you lost him :( Please keep your chin up.

[bibleortraditions]

Thanks... It's all good. Ernie did have a God-given purpose in this world, and his short lived life is a blessing for many. I am just thrilled that so many have commented and rated.

[valambiguous]

Your story should be written in a children's book, and published. So wonderful how God comforted you with His word.

[damildlyshreddah]

This is such an amazing thing. ^__^

So... is he saved yet? ;)

[BSwitzerland]

Very nice

[samus215]

Beautifully put.

[PonyGirl4Jesus]

What a great story. Blessing,

Rebekah

[Chosen1ofJesuah]

Yes it is sad to lose a friend. My hope Fath is to bein the number of those who is with the Lord Jesus. THANK YOU

[ChristHeartEternal]

Aw..

[OurLordComes]

Thanks Brother!

[dazeycutr]

powerful and true. once again

[thesonking1]

Also, If we rest in His Peace, than we will be transformed and soar like an eagle, by the power of His Spirit.

[thesonking1]

Well Spoken

[nacky132]

great lesson

[madzndean]

I was nearly crying tears of joy for Ernies rescue and growing into a loverly bird, then you said he was killed, Im heartbroken now, sad how life turns out sometimes, sorry for wee Ernie, bless you for taking care of him and thank you.

[bibleortraditions]

But you know, Ernie lives on in a good lesson for all of us. God is sovereign and has a purpose for everything. Maybe Ernie's was for the inspiration to make this video. And if just one person finds the inspiration to give his/her life to Our Lord, it is all worth it.

[bibleortraditions]

I want to thank each and every one of you for your comments and well-wishes. You folks have really touched my heart and I am truly blessed by a wonderful YouTube community!

[beverly92552]

Nice video

Poor thing

God Bless

[GodsTwoProphets]

Well put.

[kjvonly01]

Good stuff, and I already subscribe. God Bless Thee.

[Andrewkinghorn15]

By the way as an Ornithologist, I think it's a Turtle Dove, just incase you didn't know.

[fellowservant34]

So true! We are a mere breath away from eternity, let us live with a sense of urgency knowing that the Kingdom is at hand.

[Mystwicca]

Amen, great story........

Ernie gets to sit on Christ's shoulder now :)

[terecart]

that's sad, but the story had a great lesson. Thanks for sharing this.

[AtruthSeeker502]

Thank you for sharing your story.

[Jive51]

This comment of MelancholyWindmill is so great that I decided to quote it:

"This was great man, and your ability to see a biblical connection in something so apparently unconnected especially to the point you made goes to show of your sincerity of faith."

[coppertop1964]

Poor ernie!

[Temple420org]

thanks

[NephilimFree]

Very good brother. There are always things to be learned. It never ceases to amaze me how much wisdom is packed into the words of the Bible. It stores wisdom like DNA stores information, with overlapping sequences as efficiently as possible. So too the bible contains wisdom, where one single verse can have 2 or even 3 important things to say.

[humkina]

I am soo sorry about your bird. That was a great message though.

[MelancholyWindmill]

This was great man, and your ability to see a biblical connection in something so apparently unconnected especially to the point you made goes to show of your sincerity of faith.

[totallyautomatic0]

God Bless

[sheepwoman]

so sorry for ernie poor thing.. i sent this along for others..i am glad that you have a testimony for the Lord

[apostleds]

A great video.

Brother Don

[sheepwoman]

[carolannej]

great parable!

[swingbeep]

Very well put. Good wake up call.

[nonew3]

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. What a sweet little bird. I like to think that little Ernie is in heaven now cooing with the angels.

[jerrybeelerjb]

Awsome lesson, I m sorry bout your little dove, God bless.

[xspiritfire]

[rideswithastorm]

I am PROFOUNDLY moved by this.. AMEN.

EXCELLENT PARRALAL..

my brother, let's pray that when our Lord returns, we all will be found WATCHING AND WAITING, and FILLED WITH FAITH.

Thanks brother.. I LOVE your work,it's the HIGHEST QUALITY.. God has blessed and anointed you greatly.

[themistoklisp]

I was very sorry for the little bird. These days a mother pidgin has lade eggs on our balcony and we are waiting for the chicks to hatch (this is the second time this year this happened).

GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

[THEGlobalAwakening]

That's a moving story, very well told!

Poor little birdie!

Thank you!

[Wishes6336]

i saw a bird helpless, little thing... one day in the parking garage... i didnt know what to do :-/ i am still messed up because of it... i was too scared to touch him :-( im sorry to hear of your loss but grateful to hear how God used this for His glory.

[islamsins]

What a sweet story, and relevant allegory. I hope we'll all be ready in that day when our Great God and Savior appears, our King of Kings, Christ Jesus.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. :-)

And, I'm sorry about little Ernie. Peace is so often destroyed by the opportunistic predator.

[tobigforyou]

Great analogy brother Donald. Amazing how even in loosing your good friend, the Spirit still leads you too teach scripture.....All thing end up working for good, a greater end

[piscesR2cool]

Oh I'm so sorry for the loss of Ernie your little friend.
