Just lost my job on the verge of loosing my car and my marriage is on the rocks. I came here for a little motivation and got it. Most important thing I heard was to keep God first. Bless y'all and keep pushing
I hope and pray that it all works out for you my friend, may you always know god will never give up on you❤
@monroeking597 i pray that God heals your marriage and aligns everything for you w car and a job. You and your wife compliment each other. God created the two genders to compliment each other. The woman is meant to have submission under the man, but that’s it the man is with a mission and a purpose. The man needs to be submitted to God also. God gives you your mission and purpose. You are the head not the tail. Above and not beneath. Stay in the word of God every single day. Don’t miss out and the word of God as powerful as it is will change your life and guide you. And your spouse will be very happy to follow.
Good luck to you and may God continuously bless you.
May the Lord Jesus already walking in you through faith and putting Jesus in your house . God teach us to Wait Be patient no matter how long it takes Be in Prayers kneeling down in your knees as humility to God who provides and Trust God almighty no matter it takes to receive that answer . Keep in mind God is the answer of all our problems because He loves us so much and it will never change . God Bless you and your family . Be at peace while waiting for Jesus answer . Amen and Glory to Jesus the author and finisher of our Faith. Be faithful in fellowship with Christ Body in the church with your wife and children . Amen Amen and Amen 🙏
Hope u got the job and everything is going well for u ❤

"Say thank you in advance for what is yours already..." “True desire in the heart, for anything good, is God's proof to you, sent beforehand, to indicate that it's yours already.” - Denzel Washington I have been listening to / watching this video for the past almost 4 years, as I was starting a new journey as a freelance actor. It's been very helpful and comforting to know that God is leading me and has been with me all this time. Because I can see that things and signs are happening to show me that the direction I took was right. May God bless Sir. Denzel Washington for all he has been preaching through his acting craft and art.
No. 1 “Put God first” No. 2 “Fail Big I listened to this every morning for 3 years. It got me through the toughest times in my life🙏🏻
Thank you for saying that because I want to do the same

"DREAME IS NoT WHAT YOU SEE IN SLEEP, A DREAM IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T LET YOU SLEEP", I Pray that anyone that reads this will be happy and extremely successful in life.
So that means I have never slept.. um ok, the second part is true though...keep the motivations up.
Lovely karter thanks for sharing that qoute.
Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to over come
If you don't fail you are not even trying" 100% true

DG K God is all we have, all we need!
mrg5550 ..God will supply all your needs clothing, food, shelter, etc as long as you pray ,have faith and trust in God that he will bring the right people in your faith ,being a real Christian is not about material things , money, fame , being famous nor being popular, etc it's about being a servant to the people , being humble contrite, compassionate and about helping others acheive their goals and in return God will bless you for your scarfrices just like God sacrificed his one and only son Jesus Christ for us for our sins .

“In everything I see, I see God before it, I see God in it, and, I see God after it.”
🔥
It’s a quotation by Adolf hitler but he used Germany instead of God.
💯
Yeah..I say 💕🌸🌸🌺
I was just about to say the Hitler thing and how the animal was able to feel okay with turning a swastika into a horrible horrible image for a group of people that have issues changing their views on things it's very difficult to come back from the swastika. But the history of things need to be left as they are and actually talked about on both ends good and bad but it needs to be solidified and protected for us to do any good in any of this because without God we have nothing but we have God!!
This is why I have the utmost respect for this man! He is open, honest and gives God all of the praise for where he is today, without apology! Hollywood should listen and learn from this man ( although we know better than that)!
"Stick with him in everything you do"

Got me tearing up, thank you Denzel for your inspiring words. Always when I chose to put god first my life seemed more full and purposeful but when I chose to not do so my world seemed grim. True life and meaning is on that side with God, I can’t tell my whole story but I know he is true and everything I’ve been through is because he was trying to get me to this version of myself and I’m still on the path. Thank you God, for everything 🙏🏾

God first ❤
Always make sure you put God first 🙏 🙌❤❤
The greatest man in history is Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called him master. He had had no degree, yet they called him teacher. He had no medicine, yet they called him healer. He had no army, yet kings feared him. He committed no crime, yet they sentenced him to death. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
Beautifly said brother!💗

If he runs for president 2024, he will get my vote and I would campaign for him in Michigan. We do need people like this to lead and to inspire our people in the right way. God bless him in anything he does
@@rudyzoma Can you imagine him and Trump on a ticket? Let the fireworks begin! It would be epic!
@@carolynwaskovich7614 that would be great 👍but honestly I would rather see him running for the president, if he runs with Trump, the ceazy left will accuse Denzel of being racist 😄
This video/speech changed my life 6 years ago. It is amazing to come back to it, listen to it while looking back at how far I have grown as a husband, father and now business owner. I chose to do a scary thing and bet on myself while listening to this every morning for a month straight 6 years ago. Glory to God and thank you Denzel. Fail big!!! This is still just the beginning.
Rare to.see a celebrity preach i love it jesus is king amen 🙏
"I didn't always stick with Him, but He always stuck with me." More relatable words were never spoken.
Haven't been to church in 12 years I'm 28. My fiance threw my stuff out of my house only five bags. Here I am being upset about losing what I "had" but now I see It's just a new beginning.
AMEN!!!!! He never leaves. When people say "God has walked away" He never does........we wander away but He never does anymore than the Prodigal's father who waited for his return.

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (GOD'STIME MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +234 905 592 7488) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you....

Put God first. In everything you do. By the grace of God, it’s a gift. I’ve been protected, I’ve been directed, I’ve been corrected. I’ve kept God in my life and it’s kept me humble. I didn’t always stick with God but He always stuck with me. So stick with Him in everything you do. Dreams without Goals are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment. In order to achieve your goals you must apply discipline and consistency. Just because you’re doing a lot more, doesn’t mean you’re getting a lot more done. Don’t confuse movement with progress. It’s not how much you have, it’s what you do with what you have. The most selfish thing you can do in this world is to help someone else. Joy and success is in helping others. I pray that you put your slippers way under the bed tonight, so that when you wake up in the morning, you have to get on your knees to reach them. While you’re down there, say thank you for grace, mercy, understanding, widsom, parents, love, kindness, humility, peace, prosperity. Say thank you in advance. True desire in the heart for anything good is God’s proof to you sent beforehand already to indicate that it’s yours. Each one teach one, don’t aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
Thank you for putting this in writing..God bless you...I wil use this almost everyday
Amen
Strange denzels film role choices, putting God first, not judging him, I think it's going to be some fellas from a broken marriage maybe who welcomed the lord into his heart,never married again and say put his daughter through college by selling the big issue, I'd say that person will be exalted in heaven
Hvala Vam za ovaj pisani trag✋

I didn't always stick with Him, but He always stuck with me So powerful 🙏 this man is a hero

Hahaha I understand and Respekt People that believe in God but for me it doesnt make Sense and Im sure there is no god
Our father never gives up on his children 🙏
I guess if you truly believe in one of the thousand gods it could be a great motivator.

“I Gave Up On Him, But he Never gave up on me.”
His voice will always keep running in my head forever...☺.and all generations will live to respect denzel for sure...God bless you sir.
1. Put God first in everything you do 2. Fail big Don't be afraid to go outside the box . Make a plan,( Monthly goals, weekly goals, daily goals), apply discipline. And remember dreams without goals are just dreams. 3. Help someone else . Finally: Go to your knees and put them in the hands of the Lord. Say thank you in advance for what is already yours. Don't just live, but live to make a difference.
Remember Christians power of words do we have too say fail big?....
All of this has measureable value except for your references to god, there are absolutely no validated instances to demonstrate this claim.
I wanted to listen thats bible says every day and then God change to My life
Yes God will be free in my heart haleluya
@@kuethmok3431 - Behold with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day." (II Chronicles 21:14-15) How's that for biblical motivation. You can find great motivational guidance in a thousand different philosophers without being deluded by a book filled with lies, false history, impossible physics and science and the ignorances of the men who wrote it.
There is a reason Mr. Denzel Washington has excelled. He always knew that God was there with him. This is one of the most beautiful commencement speeches I have ever heard! God bless him and his family!
And...and, he worked hard, like he said. Hard work is what successful people do. Bless God forever, there are a few He has reserved unto Himself. Be aware of that, look for it, see it, glory in it. Thank You Jesus for loving me/us first. Help us to love one another.
@Nicholas Huguet did you forget to factor in age in your conclusion?
@Nicholas Huguet Denzel was talented + he was diciplined & commited, fueled by his faith, nothing handed to him, he deserved everything that came his way.
🙏🏿
@Nicholas Huguet you seem like you need God as well, I’ll pray for you
Thank you for such a beautiful prayer. It touches every area of my life and circumstances I'm going through right now. God is good and His mercy endures forever! ❤
These speech gets me all the time. To everyone reading this comment I pray to God that you never lack anything.
Some people are too “famous” to speak like this, kudos Denzel!

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Other words: Put God first and All things will fall into place.
Amen
I looked back at my KZhead to find this video back in 2017. I was nearly a year in undergrad. I was AFRAID, ANXIETY RIDDEN, LOW SELF ESTEEM, OUT OF SHAPE, sleeping on my sisters couch in her 2 BR apartment in Louisiana that literally was pissed soaked from all of her kids. I would wake up early and go to the library to study and be there late at night after studying and getting knocked on campus. I HAD to get out of there. I couldn’t go back home. It’s 2023, I am working on my masters, I now weigh the same amount I was back then but replaced the fat with muscle (I had gained 25 lbs throughout college and continuing to lose more fat), I have my dream job now in Colorado. I now now my self worth and am actually getting a divorced after years of verbal and emotional abuse. Sucked the soul right out of me. I am so high on life. Life will continue to have its highs and lows. But always go back to your roots.
Perfectly said. Glory to God. Amen
