This is so helpful as I have family members dealing with hoarding. The surplus of stuff is harming physical, emotional, and their relational health. God wants us to be free of the weight of taking care of things, so we can focus on him and be used in action by him in the world. It is not better to have time to love more items than more than time to love people. We are called to love others. It is more blessed to do more for God than have more. ❤

I'm in the middle of preparing for a huge move to the other side of the country, and I need to take as little items with me as possible, so I really needed to hear this today. I have had such a hard time letting things go, and this video helped me realize that most of it is junk. I'd been keeping old Christmas decorations that reminded me of my ex-boyfriend. I have over 70+ books that I know I'll never read again - they served a purpose during my adolescence, but not anymore. I've outgrown them. I have a sewing machine that I keep around "just in case" despite the fact that I hate sewing. I've got mountains of clothes, but typically only wear the same five or six outfits on rotation. There is no way I can bring all of it with me, so today I've got to make a BIG change and lighten my load, and I know that I can do it with God supporting me.

I'm with you there!! We're planning a move across country too. And I just went through boxes that some if the stuff I have carried with me since I was in HS. I'm nearly 40. I have 5 kids. I had a whole box of STUFF from my one daughter's 1st and 2nd grade years. After this message I'll need to go through it again lol Amen!!

Once you get the material things or people you've always wanted, the excitement ( newness ) wears off quick💯. For me it does anyway👌. I live with the necessities only now. Glory to GOD ALMIGHTY 💯💞.

Did get upset about shops being difficult for my family in Australia. And God told me later on in the day, don't be upset because this is not your home.

He is so, so wise and hilarious was a great guy!

I… wow. God really is telling me I’m making the right decision. Slowly, I’ve reverted back to my old self in a lot of regards. Perhaps I never changed, merely changed my methods… but I’ve been committing idolatry while telling myself I wasn’t. It’s only been a day of letting go, yet it feels like a break up. That I think is very pathetic, that there could be something in my life that I let go of that makes me feel as if my heart is breaking. As if I’m loosing something significant when in reality it is nothing. I’m praying to stay strong

I struggle with buying junk food on the weekends when money is too short for it (e.g. it could've gone to a bill, or transpo/gas to get to work). I ended messing myself. I'm trying to overcome this addiction as it's what I do to cope on the weekends and get away from the stresses of the week. It's my "fun time." I am trying to focus more on God when my cravings hit. It's hard, but He'll make a way. Another great sermon. 🙏🏽 thank you.

Lord, I thank you for @shuyuar. I thank you that this addiction does not define them, and that their identity comes from You. I pray that You would give them strength and courage as they fights this addiction. God, I ask that you would surround them with comfort and strength. God I pray that she begin to celebrate the little victories because it's the habit of little victories that can lead them to freedom. Thank you for the work you're already doing in their heart. We love you Jesus and ask all these things in your name, Amen. Tamala-Psalms 37:3 Trust God & Do Good

This message meant a lot to me am I am pretty sure God put this here for me. Thanks so much to Pastor Craig for speaking over this topic. It already has effected me and I literally just finished watching it. I plan on getting rid of a lot of things to fix this greed. I was really inspired by the quote, Are you accumulating on Earth what you cannot keep? Or are you investing in the Heaven what you cannot lose? Once again thank you so much to everyone and this is an amazing message.

Wow. So much stuff just sitting in my closet that I've never used and don't even remember when I bought it. None of it matters to my life. God let me give this away and be a blessing to many. Thank you, Pastor Graig

Be grateful!!!!

Amen glory to God

In the past 22 years I've moved 9 times and although I don't necessarily recommend this method, its really resulted in helping me get over "stuff-itis" With each move I've let go of so much unnecessary "stuff ". I hate clutter! Still working on the mental clutter, but I WILL GET THERE!!

The one handed illustration! So so so Good! And of course he has to have the cheeky line 😅😅😅 memorable.

3rd. Love this message

its always a blessing to hear from Pastor Craig, this message is for me and I thank God for this!!!

I am just waiting for the truth to show up. 🙈💕

This is exactly what I needed to hear. This year I have spent way more than any year on Christmas gifts and we actually were able to buy some things for my kids because every year we would always ,"give then receive", that was are principle ,but I did not have peace over it. I understand now what I need to do and pray that Holy Spirit will guide me towards tranquility. THANK YOU P.C #Godanswered

God is speaking to me. The what if I need this or could use this has taken up valuable living space in my home. FAITH I already have what I need or will be provided at the needed time is the key word.

Excellent that this ,man is passionate to help us to change and let go with Jesus

Thanks 😊

Thank you for this Message. It's a good one. My take away from this message is that we hold on to the wrong things. When the right things come, we don't want it. I will keep my old things, Thank You". We never want to change. Sooner or later, we have to let go of Stuff, like it or not. God Bless You.

Apparently God doesn't want to give us stuff sometimes because we forget about him, and he wants us to trust him mostly

Thank you for this great wonderful truth this is weak up time for all of us what a blessing to hear this message it helps to put things in the proper place May God richly Bless You💖👏👏💖

I pray that Your Presence will provide Peace and Hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen You’re not alone in the doubts you’re facing, and you’ll find a safe place to wrestle with those doubts at Life.Church.

I took in a homeless man so he wouldn't be the 5th person to freeze to death that winter. I also want to move, and I am not into "things" anyway. So for the last 5 years, I have been trying to get him to understand that I don't need MORE STUFF, I NEED LESS!!!! BUT BECAUSE HE'S AN ADDICT, HE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO HELP HIMSELF. 🤔 IT MAKES ME CRAZY. BUT I'M SO CRIPPLED UP NOW, I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO PUT UP WITH HIS CRAZINESS.... AIN'T LIFE GRAND!

Thank you, Pastor. I am moving across the country in a month, and with very low income. I keep trying to pack old journals and picture albums, and pictures, and still trying to figure how to get my stainless steel pan and pot on the airplane. What to take and what to leave behind? My favorite rose colored bedroom lamp that I cannot find anywhere else, but my debt is high and I am nervous about trying to mail items as well as to leave them and then try to replenish what I have lost. At the same time I want to be rid of everything and feel light, light, light anyhow. I have a back disability, managing chronic pain therefore having to manage that too during this move and thereafter. Keeping the faith though, because this move will be very adventurous for me that I need the change. Letting go, and having the faith to believe that what comes up ahead will meet my needs without me packing what I think I will need once I get there. Long distances we must let go and think light. Thanks for this video, it is encouraging.

Life does NOT consist within the abundance of stuff Simplify your life TODAY and the rest of your life.

And more of what does

Jesus had no bank account and no sports car, and he turned water into wine and did okay, and also walked alottt

Jesus said to "sell your possessions and give ALMS." ONE way churches can do this is have a yard sale, and then give the alms to the poor and needy. In particular, "the WIDOW and the FATHERLESS, since they are who the TITHE IS FOR ( DEUT. 14, and DEUT. 26).

Just an honest question I could really use help with as a new Christian,,how does a pastor preach about dropping our nets and letting go of material needs yet live in a huge giant mansion? Any help would be appreciated

Hey Vinny! Thanks for engaging with us here. Not everyone who is a Christian or even a pastor is perfect in their walk with Jesus. And lots of times there are things about their finances that we may want to judge from the outside but aren't ours to judge. One verse that helps me with this is Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7 which remind us to first seek God about the sin or hypocrisy in our own life before calling out others. This helps me focus on my own growth. Hope that helps! --Kendra

It's not "common knowledge" because the "world" says the exact opposite and unfortunately many Christians get swept along in the current. If you don't renew your mind to truth, you will buy the lie!
