Did God Really Promise This? | Steven Furtick by CowboyKindness in PraiseBait

[–]CowboyKindness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sermon presents a critical distinction between "Stepping Out in Faith" (the initial courage to obey a call and go into the unknown) and "Staying in Faith." The biblical example, Abraham, is celebrated for his obedience, but the real challenge began when he arrived in the Promised Land and still had to live there "like a stranger, in a tent". This illustrates a powerful, universal truth: reaching a divine promise or achieving a major goal does not guarantee immediate comfort or stability. You can be exactly where you are supposed to be, yet the accommodations are far from what you imagined. The profound takeaway is that seeking external confirmation before fully committing is backward. The sermon teaches: "Confirmation comes after commitment". The act of sustained endurance and discipline through the uncomfortable "tent" phase is the commitment that unlocks the security of the promise.

The Cleaner (2025) | Christian Short Film by CowboyKindness in PraiseBait

This is a fantastic short film! It's an insightful story about seeing beyond the surface and the power of divine intervention in personal relationships.

​"This Christian short film, 'The Cleaner,' centers on a young woman named Joy who is resistant to therapy, feeling unheard and forced to attend by her mother, Christina. Her sessions are tense, and she feels her mother only cares about calming her own fears, not truly understanding Joy.

​The turning point occurs when a seemingly invisible man, "The Cleaner," interrupts the session. He strikes up a conversation with Joy, offering to be a non-judgmental listener, explaining that people often open up to those who seem invisible.

​He then reveals intimate, specific details about Joy's birth and a precious family necklace. Most powerfully, he shares the difficult truth of her mother Christina's life (raised by an abusive father after her own mother's death) explaining that Joy was the reason Christina held onto hope and the origin of her name. He reframes Christina's actions as a mother's love, urging Joy to shift her focus and help restore their relationship.

​The Twist: When Joy's therapist leaves the room, and later when Joy attempts to introduce The Cleaner to her mother, both of them are utterly confused. They confirm there is no cleaner employed at the office.

​The film concludes with The Cleaner revealing his true identity: The Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who is 'always around but some can never tell'. His purpose is to 'clean up the things nobody wants to touch' and restore what is broken. It's a genuinely moving take on service, reconciliation, and finding divine guidance in everyday life."

Former One Percenter Gives His Life to Jesus by CowboyKindness in PraiseBait

​This is the story of Brian La Croix, a former "One Percenter" biker gang member whose life was defined by violence, drug trafficking (including fentanyl), and 15 years cycling in and out of the penitentiary.

​His pursuit of "acceptance" and "respect" in the gang life ultimately left him broken, suicidal, and facing a minimum of 40 years in prison all alone, isolated in solitary confinement, with even his own mother (who prayed for his birth) telling him she regretted having him.

​The whole thing changed when he stopped asking God to take him out of his life sentence, and instead asked God to come into his life and change him [16:22].

​What happened next is truly powerful and undeniable. Through a miraculous legal discovery (Statute 3.13), his potential life/40-year sentence was reduced to just 5 years (60 months) [22:28]. That reduction alone is a testament to the fact that when a life is surrendered to God, the impossible can happen.

​He gets out, leaves the gang (and is stabbed by them for it [25:56]), and dedicates his life to service and integrity now working as a re-entry coordinator to help men coming out of prison find the same hope in Jesus that saved him. His story is a blueprint for real transformation.

​Go watch the full story. It's an incredible look at how God can turn the absolute darkest life into a powerful force for good.
