  • No greater friend!

    

  • Good!!!

  • Yes....I am a friend of God....coz, He calls me friend.....

    How amazing is that because, God almighty, the creator of the earth, stars, sun, this whole universe, cosmos....call me Friend.....

    noone calls me.....but God does...

  • @cecilsunny2009 Haha, awesome

  • To the person who wanted someone to explain their beliefs and convictions...I have always believed because from a young child I saw a miracle happen right in front of me. Even though I saw that, I battles for many years with unbelief. I knew God could but I didn't know if he would do it for me. I had allowed my feeling to lead me, and not the Word of God. It was a long process for me, but God in his mercy and grace peeled the layers like a onion off me so I could learn to trust him completely.

  • @growinginmyspirit What was your miracle?

  • I used to be a christian and have a very hard time believing again. I want to know how people can stay with their beliefs more strongly than I did. My family and girlfriend are Christians and I worry sometimes about how my doubts will affect things. Could anybody explain the strength of their convictions?

  • @eulerkaku faith comes by the hearing and the gearing of the Word of God. all you need is a little bit of faith. the bible says that whoever knocks, the door will be open for them and Jesus will come and dine with them. Open the doors of your heart and Jesus will become a part of your life and will be around you and within you by His Holy Spirit. thats wat gives us "christians" the conviction of Jesus Christ because we have experienced Jesus in our lives. God bless you brother :)

  • @christianmetalpwns But I don't believe God exists. It seems odd to believe that God is real when I see a world without an omnipotent being taking care of it

  • @eulerkaku what your saying is how can there be an omnipotent God is things like terrorism, murder, rape, and such things happen? ... well the problem isnt God the problem is, sadly, humankind. We as humans, we dont want to submit to God because of Adam's sin. we want to do whatever we want and we dont want to do wat God wants for us. God doesnt want these things to happen; natural disasters, wars, poverty, and such. the earth is dammed because of human kinds rebellion

  • @christianmetalpwns ask God so that you can have an experience with Him so that you can know Him. not just to hear from Him but to know Him. He wont let you down. you are His son, you are His beloved. even before creation, He had plans for you and He thought of you. make a sincere prayer to Him and invite Him to show you who He is..

  • @christianmetalpwns Well God could stop those things if he didn't want them to happen, right?

  • @eulerkaku yes he could but if he did peolpe would just go back to doing what they did before sometimes it takes things to happen to cause us to think on our ways and give jesus a try.. as christianmetalpwns said before this is because of humankind the sins of this world have caught up to them... i hope i helped you in some way and i pray you become a believer again this life is the best life to live.

  • @Jesusforpresident1 What exactly do you mean by go back to the way they were before? In some cases that would be awesome. What is the purpose of children with cystic fibrosis?

  • pretty sure the gregorian calendar wasn't invented before Gods creation. Any and Every day is a beautiful day to worship the Lord!!!!!

  • Or By God for that matter\

  • Over the years He has been a much better Friend to me that I could ever be to Him...but I am working on it...and will continue to work on it every day for the rest of my life..and throughout eternity....

  • Love it! Joe Sanolick

  • I LOVE SATURDAY CHURCH THATS THE TRUE DAY THAT GOD CALLED IT TO BE

  • THIS VIDEO IS GOOD

  • I love this song it is such a blessing.

  • stupid  ads make vids slow down

  • Cant wait for SUNDAY Holy Day Praises to the Almighty!!!!!!

  • My favorite Song... yeeeeeeeess

  • Listening this while struggling with schoolwork assures me that at the end of the day, getting into heaven matters more than getting into college. God is great!!!

  • @missnance12 God will get you into college too, work,work,work and pray, pray, pray, pray.

  • John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

  • John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-14 (in Context) John 15 (Whole Chapter)

  • Who is that on keys? Aaron Lindsey?

  • OH WOW DIDN'T KNOW THAT OUR JESUS DOES CALL US HIS DISCIPLES NOW HIS FRIENDS OH THANK YOU LORD CAN'T WAIT TO JUS WORSHIP FOR ETERNITY GREW UP IN CHURCH BUT MAN HE IS SO REAL REAL REAL REAL REAL REAL TO ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHEW

  • @SoCaLhauser funny how you didn't say "I CAN PROVE THE GOD OF MY RELIGION IS REAL!!!!"

  • @TheRaveninflight: This song is biblical. Jesus Himself called His Disciples His friends. This is what Israel is referring to in this song...

  • I am more than a friend of God I am one of His best friends. He tells and shows His best friends everything. I encourage All believers to go deeper with Abba father and allow Him to be your best friend. For the non believers I challenge you to befriend Jesus Christ He will never leave you nor forsake you and He never breaks His promises Selah!!!

  • @Samou579 - The fact that you like this song shows God is truly in your heart. You have not forgotten God. Most people I know who claim they don't believe on God are going thru something or angry about something in life.  But, obviously from your post, our Heavenly Father, not Bhudda nor Allah, etc, but God, the Father of Christ, is still on your heart and you can feel Him. Praying for His peace upon you. Much love to you :))))

  • if only you christians could channel this much love and passion to make the world a better place. Wasted great people with a washed brain.

    Deep down inside i have a strong faith that one day you all will realize the truth, Then that time we shall all unite for the good of mankind. No beliefs to halt our progress. One day, i hope i live to see it.

  • My favorite song. :D

  • great, Praise the LORD

  • I'm an atheist but this is one of my favorite song... when i listen to it, it was as if a song for my dad....

  • Wow, I am a FRIEND of God! He calls me friend! It's AMAZIIIIIIING!!!

    Thanks be to God for Israel Houghton and Michael Gungor, for He gave us this wonderful song through these two men of God.

Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! If you say praising the Lord is of the devil, show me chapter and verse

  • "WOW".........................­...........

  • oooh thank's God I love iu! :D

    gracias por darle a tus hijos la musica!

  • That bass player is grooving in a deep, deep pocket. I never understood the gift of music until I played in a praise band... I didn't know why I couldn't stop playing the bass. I tried, but always kept my main bass, an Alembic Elan 5 string. I struggled with life, and love, and work, and everything. She was always there, waiting for me to pick her up and give glory and return the gift. I finally got my calling... over the telephone. "Would you consider playing in our church band?" Sure..

  • You can feel the Holy Spirit Moving all over this place. How Great it is to be a friend of God.

  • i just have to comment again. To the ppl who say that satan exists but there is no evidence that God exists. How do u kno that the devil exists?........well that is the same way we know that God exists. God is worthy of praise and worship!

  • To ALL those ppl who made those disgusting, ignorant comments, the bible says that the ppl were destroyed for a lack of knowledge!!

  • @grindcorepete My friend that is only to proove His love for us. We wouldn't send our only child to dye for another but He did. cause He is God and will always be God ALL MIGHTY!

  • @DeanRamsey he wouldnt kill them...but to blasfeme against Him....mph. Lets just hope that God doesn't decide to unleash His rath.

  • Comment removed

  • i heart the brass section!

  • is it a sin to say god damn?

  • @rambo7149 Yes. It is taking His name in vain. God says He will hold no man blameless those who take His name in vain.

  • @jbstrevel94 then why does 3/4th of america say it? even people who believe in him?

  • @rambo7149 I don't care if they believe in Him or not. If you take His name in vain, he is not going to hold you blameless. And just because you say "I believe in Him", DOES NOT make you a Christian. You have to act on your love. If you were married to someone and you constantly said "I love you. I believe in you". And you never hug her, kiss her, take her out on a date. There's nothing showing that you do love her. You say you love her but there is no evidence. That's how some people are.

  • @jbstrevel94 i am christian i embrace it and shit but i say god damn as do most of america..

  • @rambo7149 The Bible says "If you love me, you will obey my commandments". And His commands are to not take His name in vain. God says whoever says they love God, but hate their neigbor (Some translations say brother, but it means your fellow man), then He is a liar. If there is any hate in a man, then he does not love God. You cannot love God, without loving others. Because God is love. And we love, because He first loved us. He had the greatest love the world has ever known.

  • @jbstrevel94 That is sooo true....the fact that he woke us up to see abrand new day is proof enough that H loves us. i really wish ppl would stop writing His name in common letters. He is God!!!

  • Jesus loves you <3

  • @hais2640 61 People don't have imaginary friends.

  • big up to the bassist!! better yet, big up to Jehovah Himself!!

  • PRYS DIE HERE!!

  • what an ahmaazing song? Feel the power of God through the screen!! Blessing!

  • I am a friend of God and you can't do anything about it...
