Glory!! I’m glad you’re reading the word of God. Same here, I am on the fourth book of the Bible, Numbers. Just remember this: James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. If you haven’t done so already, I would HIGHLY recommend that you keep a journal just for Bible notes and that you take notes and jot down verses that speak to you as you read. Or highlighting/ taking notes in the Bible. It’s all about reading AND applying the word of God to our lives. Whatever works for you!! God bless.

This is exaclty my issue. I want to use it for the glory of God, but then I just end up wasting time scrolling, allowing junk to be put before my eyes. Not only instagram, but even Facebook and KZitem. And so I'm stuck in this position where idk if I should delete my accounts or keep them and try to control the way I use them. Is that confidence in the flesh? Idk. It says in Matthew if your right hand causes you to stumble cut it off and throw it away, so that makes me think I should just delete it. But then I think about all the connections I'll be losing to share Jesus or how I can use KZitem to learn more about God and the Bible. It's this difficult tug of war, and idk which way to go.

@@marshallturner6085 There’s so many ways to share the gospel. Social media can lead you to sin. To help you better 1 Thessalonians 4:11 Says make it a goal to live a quiet life, minding your business and working with your hands. We are always meeting people everyday. The way you treat others daily with love. People will see how holy and a child of God you are. God called me to become a farmer. He wants to use me and on the other hand I’ve just finished my masters in Digital marketing and that means I have to be on social media. I have no choice but to go with his way. I asked God I don’t know how to be a farmer and he told me that I shouldn’t worry he will take care of it. My spiritual gift is giving. I will pray for you Marshall😊🙏🏽

That's interesting because I see the opposite. He's using the fake "Christian pastor voice" with those nuances. It's the same as when Cali people and young people across America put a strain in their voice. It's to hide their actual current emotions from people. It's worse because he's a Christian trying be a platform. Deceit is deceit. he needs to say what and how he actually feels with the emotions that will naturally come from him . Not suppress it and be afraid of people interpreting your frustration of one thing to another. (and no, a explanation by him would be irrelevant. You can clearly hear it in his voice as you would hear people who use the strain. It's those same fake nuances)

I personally felt very led by the Holy Spirit to officially ditch social media for good. Ever since then I’ve never felt more present in life and closer to God. Social media can become an idol and that’s something I think can be overlooked in our generation. When you begin to measure your life through the lens of society and comparison but not by the word of God and how you feel like your relationship is with Him, it’s time to pray&act.

I agree, I felt really led by the Holy Spirit within my one year of knowing and walking with Jesus to start getting off social media. I felt like I knew more of who God was calling me to be and felt more present with God. I also had lot of peace without social media. I had so much anxiety/comparison/ ect with it. I kept being pointed to Philippians 4:8-9 on what we should be meditating and thinking on. With social media it was hard to think of these things and instead I would think of worldly issues. I do not want to get back on social media unless God speaks to me and wants me to do ministry this way.However, I feel called to step away at this time..I think Christians in this generation should know maybe some of us are not called to online ministries and that is okay. So many other ways to preach, share the gospel and to live it out so we can be light to others. I personally am able to walk in spirit better without social media distractions. I guess we all need to be led by spirit to see where God wants us ❤️🙏.

This was very enlightening - I was working 40! Hours a week on my channel for over two years and then when I announced the upcoming release of my spiritual memoir testimony KZitem shut my channel town without warning or valid reason. I'm 63 and alone so I felt cut off but also relieved because I have been obsessed with it - getting burnt out but I also felt like a failure - some distance opened me up to other social media options which might actually be easier to promote my book - it's difficult though because I feel like everyone is on KZitem. I'm now on Dailymotion and Facebook but maybe that is better ,- yet I feel social media is so all consuming - I want to have more time with Jesus but I could not sleep all night and ended up watching KZitem til five in the morning I could have been praying - I think the loneliness is overbearing at times so KZitem is an escape.

i love this video. you explained everything so well :) one thing i do wanna say that God is revealing to me about my generation (Gen Z) i’m a 20 yr old girl btw. is that God knows your heart behind EVERYTHING. so if you’re on social media and you see all these christian influencers and you wanna share this and that. that’s great! but God truly knows your heart behind what you’re posting those things for and if you’re starting to get a lot of followers and “clout” for sharing the gospel but you actually don’t know Jesus and you’re not doing it with reverence that most of these christian influencers don’t have… you won’t make it to heaven and Jesus will say “Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, “We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles.” But I will tell them, “I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!”” Matthew 7:21-23 CEV trust me it is way better to have a true relationship with Jesus than to get some likes or “fame” on a vid talking about him. make sure you KNOW who He is. ❤️🔥🫂

5:26 I experienced this exact phenomenon but instead of it being a boat it was a room. Jesus would approach my room, knock on my door, and ask if He could enter. I would flippantly tell Him to come back later, too involved in my own misery and sin to care. He'd return often to knock on my door but I would turn him away. As time passed the lock on my heart began to weaken until unbeknownst to me I had left my door ajar. Each time Jesus knocked on my door the door would be open just a little bit wider then the time before. Then one day I looked up from my misery and Jesus was standing before me in the middle of my room. I was in complete shock and asked how He got in. He pointed to the door and said "You left the door open so I let myself in." And I couldn't be more grateful! 😊

A lot of falling into idolatry, sometimes we don’t even realize it, social media is one of those things that is a blessing a curse. I agree its a platform used for promotion but it can become our “God” when we rely on it to be. When God has a greater purpose and plan for your life and you continue to put these devices and things that are meaningless above him he will use those things to show you why you shouldn’t value it over him. Long story short my hair fell out and my skin was ruined from a burn. The value in that lesson was to stop idolizing these things that don’t give me value. The beauty of the story is that my value comes from within, the fruits of my spirit that harvested in my trial that allowed me to persevere is what transformed my outlook on life. God is all we need, Ecclesiastes say’s everything on this earth is meaningless it will one day all be destroyed and we will look to God for purity and happiness.

Major props to your strong faith and determination to log off of social media, other than KZitem, for an entire year… That’s huge! I’ll remember the separation and proclamation for the kingdom of God, and to practice being less consumed by all socials (especially if it isn’t glorifying the Lord), but I was wondering-why did you find this instance from Luke 5:1-3 to be very applicable and special to you? Just curious about that

I love your calm demeanor .. God Bless You and your family About Social Media..I believe it is not pleasing to God God Commands us to have No Other God's before Him Social Medium is a God..can expose you to troubles and woes.. Posting things ..pictures etc..not good..mail pics.. It is trusting in a thing.. More persons have experienced trouble from doing these and using Social Media.. Cursed is He who trusts in the flesh Jeremiah 17:5 KJV This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.

I don't believe social media is inherently evil. In fact it's a productive way to reach people. But social media, just like anything else, can be a caveat when it's used in excess and more precisely when it becomes a form of idolatry.

In my opinion. They should. It's just a matter on how much you use it and how you use it. You can use it to edify people and evangelize. Social media it's a great platform if you use it wisely. I mean yes there is alot of bad stuff but we as Christians should use these platforms for the kingdom of God to win souls and to edify people by spreading the gospel in every way. That's my personal opinion.

Decent points were mixed in there about social media, but that had nothing to do with the context of that passage. Don’t try to speak for the text. Let the text simply speak itself. That’s where the power is.

Hi, i have a question. I have a instagram account where I promote God, but instagram does tempt me a lot with lust. What do I need to do?
@marshallturner6085

Pray pray pray. Is the temptation something you can cut off? If not you should really consider deleting. I understand the desire to use social media to share God, that is awesome and admirable! But if that comes at the cost of your own personal relationship and fellowship with God, then it's not worth it. God can still use you off social media, remember that! I am also dealing with this in a way. I don't keep social media on my phone, just on my computer. But I still find it being super distracting, and I use it in the wrong ways. I will spend hours scrolling and wasting time, which tends to also end in me being tempted sexually by something that crosses my screen. So while I want to use social media (YT, FB, Insta) to glorify God and learn more about him, I have to consider the possibility of deleting it due to my own inability to use it properly. I will be in prayer for you, Mentuss!

This is great. I haven't been on since 2021....one of best decisions ever. I have been closer to the Lord like never before. I tried logging in a week ago and the site blocked me for security so i think God is saying not yet....iam on YT and my church community whats app and that enough. If God allows us me to get social media again is to share the good news of Jesus that's it. 👌

As a teen in this world its hard to do things like deleting social media since we were born into this era of modern technology. I've been struggling with this decision myself for quite a while and have deleted my insta hoping an improvement in the quality of my life. although at the back of my mind i miss it terribly. I've been putting off watching this video dreading the end result that you, Alex, came upon. but now im glad i've finally watched it. thank you for guiding us once again

Your gentle voice in this is almost like Jesus speaking to me, telling me that I can let go, I can separate from the things and people on socials and it’s gonna be ok, like I’m gonna be ok. So thank you for being the example and letting go of socials. I’ve been debating it since last year when you first said you were getting rid of them. Well, I guess it’s more that the lord had been trying to have me let go. I think I’m ready now. Thank you so much🫶💖

Fb, it's all good, I use it for my "Bread of (Life" (put in the word) section. Excellent what u have said. The bible tells us we must have a 'sound mind'; this in Greek is actually prudent, (a masculine noun derived from sṓphrōn, "truly moderate") - properly, safe-minded, issuing in prudent ("sensible") behavior that "fits" a situation, i.e. aptly acting out God's will by doing what He calls sound reasoning ( 2 Tim 1:7). We must develop and model this behavior. Thank you for your sections as well. I love them.
