Wow. I’m such a victim to conforming to this world. Please pray for me. I’m so weak. I’ll do good for a day or two. Maybe even a week. Then it’s back to doing as the world does. Jesus I need you all day and night.

Love that quote "When we yield our bodies to sin, our mind goes along with it.". 😬🤦 Yikes!! "But Godly living always carries a blessing!"

I thank you so much for this teaching. I listened to what I will call secular music but now only listen to anything that is glorifying to God. I get a lot of slack from others telling me that it is legalistic. I only quit listening to secular music not because I think you will go to hell, but because I felt led to for me because when I did listen to secular music, my mind started to dwell on things that brought about a change in me and stinking thinking that I didn't feel was what Jesus would want me to think and do. After your teaching, I now know that I am definitely not being legalistic at all but listening to the Lord about what is right for me as an individual. By way, music (mainly soul) was extremely important to me but since I have stopped listening to it (for many years), I feel so much better and at peace with myself. I don't miss at all. Praise God!

Fasting will make you a new person. The Holy Spirit will transform you and then you’ll be doing stuff you would have never thought to do before and you’ll be kinder, more considerate, have more peace, and even be wiser. It’s amazing.

Now I do like and agree with alot of what I hear you preach..However, the statement of "trendy doesn't equal worldly" made me hesitate for a moment...Yes, I agree but sometimes trendiness in attire can be unholy and not modest...And the scriptures let us know that there should be a difference from us and world...Sometimes trying to keep up with trendiness will prove your to be carnal...We are dead in Christ, and our passions should be on high...I used to wear earrings because that was the trend for guys, but as I began to read and submit to the scriptures and Spirit,And to see that the Spirit was conforming me to the image of Christ, I was putting in my earrings one day and the Spirit spoke to my heart and said "Why are you wearing the earrring, you are in Christ"..I was so convicted, and that was about 6 years ago and I took them out...All trendiness is not worldiness however going after trendiness is what the world does without contrition, because they are representing themselves, but we are representing Christ...And men and women are suppose to even look different from one another, but today's trendiness leads to gender appearance confusion through attire and hairstyles..And these trends are an insidious plan from Satan and the world...And that is not holy nor godly...We have to be really careful even about what we look like to the world, because we are to be holy in deeds, in lifestyle and appearance, because we are holy in Christ by faith.....And that's not legalism, that's the fruit of holiness and righteousness from the Holy Spirit..

Mike, I am 68 and I love your teaching. We never stop learning, walking in the truth and growing closer to God👏👏👏👏

Man, I'm so happy I'm not the only one. Thank you for this sermon :)

Biggest excuse I hear from making worldly decisions, for example watching game of thrones, listening to secular music with bad lyrics, etc, is THE HOLY SPIRIT HASN"T CONVICTED ME YET. I AM LEAD BY HOLY SPIRIT. and this drives me up the wall. in my opinion you don't need "him" if it is explicitly clear in Bible already. just my experience with this topic.

I like this clear explanation of what conforming to the world is actually.

Just started watching your videos and have been blessed. Thank you so much for your obedience and speaking the truth.

Renewing your mind comes from spending time filling your mind with the Word of God.

This message found me at the right time.

Thank You Mike! Your teachings are so spot on and have helped me understand God's will in terms of His Word and how it relates to transforming us to be more like Christ.

I like the CSB translation, "Do not be conformed to this age." "Age" helps me get a better sense of what is being communicated.

Thank you for praying at the end-I felt I needed to pray but couldn’t find the words. That’s when you said “let’s pray” and I thought YES Lord! I receive this!!

Thank you so much brother for making the point that the sinful people in Romans 1 are the same but saved people in Romans 12.

Coolest way of simplified teaching. I love it!! Praise God.

WOW… such an impactful sermon! I’ve used every excuse in the book to verify my worldliness. Thank you for calling me out! I need that. I want that. My desire is to conform to God’s heart. 💖🙏

A great lesson and so relevant to everyone- especially in today’s times.
