Charles Stanley. Run Time - 0:40 --------------------------------------
The teachings continue looping in the above order.
Our programming schedule often includes anointed men and women of God whom we respect and from whom we learn much. We do not necessarily agree, however, with every word they say, especially when it comes to using the word "Lord," which is an incorrect translation used in many versions of the Bible. (Why? Read more HERE)
We acknowledge that you need in some cases immediate answers of reassurance. Please know that you are being prayed for. When we receive news like some of you submit, it takes time for us deal with the shock and pain the losses cause us. Our prayer warriors prefer giving you answers gained through prayer and compassion rather than through emotions. Know that there are those who immediately begin praying for those faced with difficult situations. They wait to see who the Holy Spirit wants to respond to each individual. We thank you for your understanding and patience.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I am in great trouble, my brother stole my car keys and wrecked my car. He has no liceince. He drove into a parked car and wrote off both cars. The told the police that I gave himthe keys and told him to go to 7-11. He 15 years old and always causing trouble. Now my insurance company won't cover my car because ofhis statement. I need a car for work after school but I do not have 10,000.00 for a new one and my insurance company told me to find another insurer. What can I do now? My parents have decided to believe Mark over me because of the police statement. They have refused to help.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Joshua, The first thing you have to do is forgive your brother, forgive your parents, forgive the police, forgive the insurance company, and forgive yourself. Then turn the pain and the problems that your brothers activities have caused you over to Jesus. At this point you will be able to claim your lost car as a seed to your brothers repentance and then claim that |it was Satan who stole it so that Jesus can replace the car and the lost income 7 times over. And just keep thanking the Father for your new car.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I came home this evening to find that my dad beat up my mom so bad that I had to call an ambulance for her. He was no where to be found. I am only 17 but I feel like a volcano that is ready to explode. Should I take this opportunity to smash up my dad until he learns a lesson and not attack my mom?Or should I just cut off his arms so that he can not lift another drink?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Should i confront my dad about my suspitions? He works in a northern diamond mine for 3 months at a time. He then returns home for three weeks. Everybody goes out of the way to welcome him back and show love to him. However he acts guilty all the time and he barely touches my mom. I think that he has another lover up at the mine and some place near by. Should I ask him about adultry?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Troy, You have definately gone through an expirience that would build a lot of anger-rage. Seeing the result of your mom having been abused and not being their to protect her can cause an unexplanable amount of pain, guilt and grief. But wrecking your own life to get even with your dad is not the answer. Let your mom press assault charges against him. It will force the courts to push him into getting help. However the pain, guilt, grief, and trauma that you are suffering under need to be addressed. In order to set your life back into order, you need to forgive your mom for her not being able to defend herself, your dad for abusing her, the police for not stopping him, and your self for failing your mom. The turn your anger rage over to Jesus and all pains. This will allow youto forgive God for allowing the attack on your mom. Then you will be able to deal with the trauma in the communion service. Check out A-Z on church site. We pray for your peace and for the spirit of forgiveness to strongly touch you so that you can be healed and free.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Amie J. The question is realy one for your mother to ask. However if she is unable than I do believe that you should ask the question. Your fathers activities do not seem normal in the slightest, that is unless something is going on that should not be. We pray that you have the wisdom in asking this question so as not to start a war.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I am forced to live at my aunts home because my parents have decided to get a divorce. I think that my aunt is a witch because she keeps voodoo dolls of people that she want to get even with. She denies that she is. Today I found she had a doll of me. The was a large needle going through the stomach. And all day long I have suffered with stomach pain. What would happen if I grabbed the doll and hid it in my school locker. Or if I burnt it? Can I safely remove the needle? Should I make a doll of her and stick needles in it?

Re: Questions from or about Youth I go to a christian high school. I have refused to date or get sexually involved with anyone because I believe that such is part of marriage. My bio teacher asked several of the guys why they were not dating and having sex as it was just natural. When I told her what my stance was, she declared before the class that I had to be a homosexual. She said she would not recant her judgement unless I had sex with someone before school resumes. My parents have said that I should go for it. Does God require us to break his laws to prove that we are not gay?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Chriss,No. Stand strong in Jesus. Forgive all who cursed you and who encouraged you to sin against God. Reject the authoritative curse of homosexuality your teacher spoke, and seal it in communion. We congratulate you on your stand in purity, and we pray God will continue to strengthen you in His grace. You are a witness and a light in the darkness of your pseudo-Christian, religious school. God will reward you greatly for your courageous stand. Lay down the pain to Jesus.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I saved for 3 years to buy my own car and pay for my insurance. I had to walk or take a bus everywhere I needed to go. My older brothers would not drive me anywhere in their car. But now that Peters car has broken down, I am expected to let him use my car and my gas when ever he wants to without any compensation. I have to walk to work while he goes out with his girlfriend. How do I get justice in this matter? How do I get my parents to see that this is totally wrong? If I refuse to give him my keys, he knocks me down and takes them? He even took my pay so that he could buy a gift for his girlfriend. My parents did nothing but say I owe it to him as he is the eldest. An I a nothing in their eyes?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Durmain. You can declare the you reject the voodoo curse of the doll, bind the demons to it and release as no longer belonging to you anything that she may have taken to attach to the doll that belonged to you. The needle then can be safely removed. Forgive your aunt and the slightly bend the needle. It cannot be used again on you.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Kelly, your parents are obviously out to lunch. Are they doing drugs? I have seen this type of stupid reasoning from drug abusers. It is your car and it is in your name, with your insurance. Let them know and your brother know that this abuse stops now. Make a recording for the record. Your car is no longer available to your brother or anyone else. If the keys are stolen, they police will be called. They are also going to beinformed that it has been used with out your permission. I would also suggest that you find another location to which you can call home. Where you are at now is unsafe and determental to your future.

Re: Questions from or about Youth My dad came home last Saturday night stoned. He snuck into my room and raped me. I feel so shamed that I don't know how I am going to back to school in January. He warned me to never talk to my mother about what happened. How does a 15 year old face her friends and life when they have been sexually abused by their father? I go to a christian school, and they do not approve of students who are not virgins. And I will no longer be accept in our church youth group as they are intollerant to any sexual activity before marriage. I know none of my extended family would allow me to be in their presence because of happened. How does life go on after a teen gets raped?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Why do teenagers become so rebellious when they become 15? My daughter always used to obey now it is only arguement after arguement. Is it better to just through them out when they get to be 15?

Re: Questions from or about Youth My girlfriend and i are considering marriage. But with all the problems in the world and the coming chaos we would like to know if it is worth considering children in the marriage. Would it not be like inviting them into suffering and death instead of joy and life?

I felt tired and went to bed. They then sent this 17 year old women into my room and she literly raped me while they videoed to whole thing. Now they have said they will show this to anyone I choose to marry who is not approved by them. I feal violated, abused and betrayed. How should I handle this deal with this besides killing them?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Gilles, This type of excess control, is very demeaning and distructive. Your parents need help from a psychiatrist. And you need Jesus to redeem this horrible situation and trauma that you have just gone through. You have been violated, raped and betrayed. And your virginity has been stolen from you. It is almost like they fear you are gay because you will not be involved with just anyone. Forgive their error in judgement, their labeling, their betrayal, their abuse, their theft, and even the spirit of blackmail that they have evoked. They just do not know what they are doing. Then deal with the trauma under the instructions in Freedom Church of God --A to z site. I suggest that you find some other place to live until they come to their senses.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Jerred, do not enter a marriage out of fear, you will destroy each other. Find Jesus first, find his peace and let your faith grow in His word. The current world conditions are nothing compared to the power of our Jesus to defend and provide for us.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Charles S. Throwing a child out of the house because they turn 15 is not the answer. Look at what you argue about and start correcting those things in your life. Your daughter is reacting to you because you have betrayed her and lied to her. Without you seeing her as a young adult you are driving her love for you far from her and you. Change your approach before it is too late.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Liza, my wife and I are continuing to pray for you and your situation. The trouble is your are so bitter from your parents betrayal, that you are refusing to let Jesus give you his answer. Start by forgiving them and yourself. God did not tell your father to rape you, inorder to punish you and ruin your future, Satan did. So blame him. You have a choice as to how you want your future to turn out. We will give you more later.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I am 14 years old, and my world has exploded.

Re: Questions from or about Youth My son 15, goes into these comotose like transes that last upto 3 days. He says that he is meeting with Jesus, but he has the most horrible cantankerous attitude you could ever imagine when he comes out of them. I think the devil has got hold of him ever since he started to go to magic based movies. What can I do for him?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Stanley, You can take authority over you son and bind and send the demons that are possessing him. You can stop him from chasing after magic for answers when both you and him need Jesus. It is obvious that you have not been hearing what your son has been telling you for years, you have not seen him as a person and you have not let him be blessed into growing up as a man. We pray that you will see that the best thing you can do is ask for forgiveness and correct the errors in your approach to him.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Evan, In the last couple of years, several teens have come to me with this same problem. It seems this is a more common problem than I expected.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I just got home from a church youth year end party, it was supposed to be no booze, no drugs, and no sex. I ended up having to walk home because I refused to get drunk, smoke drugs or participate in group sexual activities. My parents refused to pick me up so I had a 14 mile walk home. Does Gods word say that teens have to be involved in these activities in order to have fun and be accepted? I want friends but not if I have to act like a fool. How do I find friends when I can not stand for what they believe? And why are my parents so adament that I should have joined in? Are 16 year olds supposed to live only for pleasing the flesh?

Re: Questions from or about Youth My family is out at a party to celebrate the new year. Their goal is to get drunk as a means of bringing in good things for the new year. Can anybody explane to a 14 year old how such activity brings in good and makes one prosper in a new year? It seems conterproductive to me. When I asked my parents how this works I was told to go to my room and mastrabate until I got the answer. What has happened to sound thinking?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Evan, The situation you have discribed is extremely promanent in JHS and HS. In some areas it is expected and therefore normalized by the school standard. This goes back to Nephilim worship. As a society becomes more insecure, it resorts to more and more perverted activity. And they have to find out what box level they fit in, by the comparison to others. Knowing where you belong with Jesus will allow to not comdemn them but understand them and recognize that they are trying to find an identity outside of Jesus. Pray for them, show compassion, but do not do as they do.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Jon B. Your parents are covered with spiritual blindness. So is your school. Rather then move into disgruntalment, be thankful that you past the temptation that Satan tried to trap you into. Thank your heavenly Father for his support and strength. And move in thankfulness that your parents will be touched by the spirit of repentance and that the will have that spiritual blindness removed. And forgive them for their lack of support and for not picking you up. You have made a big step into spiritual maturity. Keep up the good work and stay close to Jesus.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I came home from church today and our youth pastor has singled me out as the most unpopular person in the church. He said I stole everyones joy of the day because I have asked to many questions about what we are supposed to believe. He said that God hated me because I was a hater of Jesus because I questioned the doctrines of the church. Does God not ask us to prove all things? Does He hate me for asking for proof on things? Has He made me the most unpopular christian because he wants me punished for asking to many questions? Should i go an commit suicide to do God and the world a favor like the pastor said?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Nollan. It sounds like the pastor is a warlock. If you are singled out as the most unpopular person in the church, it is probably because you are the one closest to Jesus. Yes, we are instructed to prove all things and hold fast that which is true. God knows those who are His. He does not hate you for doing as He instructs. Forgive the pastor and break off and reject the death curse in communion. Claim the abundant life Jesus has for you. And find a church that will help you grow. Keep asking questions and proving all things. Don't do anything that you can not prove in the Word of God.Blessings of wisdom, discernment and strength, from Jesus.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Nollan, Your youth pastor is not a man of God nor a followerer of Jesus. I suggest that you no longer listen to him, no longer attend that youth group and most definitely do not carry out his suggestions for you to commit suicide. The Father loves you, Jesus loves you, the Holy Spirit loves you and we love you. You are a young man with an anointing from God to know the truth and to be able to teach it. So walk in the love of Jesus and forgive, learn, grow and then teach the truth that you have been lead to understand. Be blessed in Jesus name.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Where does a youth pastor get the nerve and the authority to talk to anyone in their care like they talked to Nollan. I think that their should be some type of charges that should be laid.

Re: Questions from or about Youth Ted and Nollan, the Youth pastor has no authority to talk like that from the bible, the law or the churches. He is in sin and he is out on a very dangerous limb. Churches that allow such pastors should be avoided, they do not walk with Jesus nor do they walk with love.

Re: Questions from or about Youth I am 15 year old and in special olympic training for swimming. Our coach said that we need to be building our mussles and that means that we need sustained erections that last over an hour. He has suggested that we buy Cialas or Viagra off of him at 10.00 a pill. Is this something that God designed or is just a nessesity in this day and age? I do not want to be involved in anything that my Father does not approve of.

Re: Questions from or about Youth All 6 of my friends listened to youth alive, and we all enjoyed it. We would like to hear one on how you to get parents attention when we see something wrong and they will not listen because they are lost in their own world of fantasy.

Re: Questions from or about Youth When God says that he is going to give us length of days does he mean that we will be able to stay up longer each day so that we can accomplish more. Or does it mean that time has been changed for us? Or that we will live longer than other people?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Our gym teacher was saying that girls need to learn about sex and pleasing their man by first getting to know an older man. I thought that a man and a woman were suppose to learn to go together and in how to please each other. Did I miss somjething from God's word?

Re: Questions from or about Youth Veronica, When I was in high scholl a number of years ago, our gym teacher said much the same thing, the boys could not become men until they had sex was one of his favorite saying. My father countered by saying that they lock themselves into maleness but it would make it impossible for them to be loyal to a mate and to be proper husbands and fathers. I later from out from watching what happened to my friends at school that my dad was right. And I am very glad that I listened to him and not the teacher. I later found out that without my dad even knowing it, he was explaning principles that are part of God's word. Veronica, what your gym teacher is saying is a common lie, that can only make your future full of regets and self condemnation if you ever listen to it. God has blessed you with wisdom to check first and prove what is right.
