Is it easy or difficult to believe in miracles?
Thank you for this message but…why did you classify the lady from the cafeteria as African-American? Why can't she just be a lady? 😢
I don't understand the purpose of pain,heal my heart Lord.Remove the grave clothes from my life.I believe you died and rose …thank you Jesus
Does anyone no were I can purchase the Bible they use ?
Maybe a bit of my current testimony will also encourage someone…
I cannot even begin to explain how much this message is such a complete confirmation for what I am in right now. I have had God tell me in so many ways since Dec 21, Be still and know I am God. So now that it is March, I have been asking God do I still wait? Or can I begin moving past this struggle and broken heart? Just to be fair, I did plenty of my own damage to our marriage as well. After tons of prayer and therapy, I could finally identify the "why" of many of my actions that haunted me and kept me under condemnation. I could finally let them go, and then God did a miracle in me for that as well. Twenty-seven years of high functioning anxiety, insecurity, shame, and depression fell away like a giant concrete wall of a prison split down the middle and vaporized… There's more to that story too, and is ALL GOD's Glory!
Just had our 7th wedding anniversary. My hubz has another woman and I honestly believe she does not know he is still married. A few days before our anniversary, he flat out told me straight up that I'm not his wife and told me again to ahead with the divorce. Which I reminded him I refuse and absolutely will not be the one to file, not because it isn't tearing me apart, but because God simply told me, "Don't", last summer when I was about to hit print for the petition. He just scoffed at me. His heart is so hardened toward me and toward God. BUT I know there is a miracle coming for our marriage. God started dealing with me about it just a few weeks after I moved out in 2020 due to his abuse – telling me I need to love him as God loves and sees him. I told God, NO. Told God, I'm human, that's impossible. Then He says, Love never fails. And I told Him, well Your love doesn't bcuz you're God… Mine does, so You can love him all You want, but I'm done! I fought with God on this for over 2 years. My hubz did do a 180 and tried really hard to get me back up until Jan 2022. The trauma was so deep, I couldn't see past the fear and anxiety that imprisoned me. BUT GOD! August 23, 2022 God set me free at the altar after church the 27 year struggle I mentioned above PLUS the pain of the abuse I still carried. God flooded me with a new love for my husband I cannot explain and a peace I could not deny. A peace that felt more like an anchor deep in my soul.
So why am I saying all this when God has yet to reveal the biggest of the miracles by fully restoring a completely dead marriage? Because WHEN He does, I 100% believe and know God will get the glory not just for our miracle marriage restoration, but for all the other marriages that will be saved, restored, and made stronger by our testimony. We couldn't be more culturally or personality opposites with completely different upbringings. Together, I honestly cannot think of one other typical marital challenge that has not been thrown at us. Everything in the world and even friends and family are saying to just let it all go. The church is even saying divorce even from both sides is completely justified biblically. BUT GOD….. Though I do get doubts and discouraged, I do know what God has said, shown, and confirmed through so many different sources. Now, I'm just being still and waiting on our miracle.
Thank you for this
Prayer Request: Plead the blood of Jesus: Stronghold of Stubborn Evil Spirit's on My Mind
Great Message!
I truly turn it over to the Holy Spirit for I do not always know what to pray. I am far beyond putting timeliness or expectations on Jesus. I still have some prayers but God's way is not of my understanding. I just ask his will be done.
This is an amazing message. I needed this
When I pray, it is no different than conversation. I don't know how to pray fancy prayers with all the Christians words. Some people are professional prayer sayers. I go blank when I start trying to use words that are not my daily vocabulary. My daughter can pray like a pro.

This agony is unending. But having Gods love gives me hope that things might go back to the way things were. Or maybe God has a better plan for me. Whatever he has planned for me, my heart and my life, I surrender to His glorious throne, and I wish to place all of my burdens and suffering at the foot of the cross, but i know I have to carry my cross up the hill to His, that like the thief, He might remember me as He enters into His Kingdom. PLEASE HELP ME GOD IM IN SO MUCH PAIN I NEED YOU IM SO SORRY FOR BEING SUCH A PATHETIC, SENSITIVE, NARCISSISTIC, SELFISH, CYNICAL, PESSIMISTIC, WORTHLESS, UNWORTHY, UNRIGHTEOUS, USELESS, UNLOVEABLE, DRUG-ADDICTED, NAIVE, FOOLISH, MALEVOLENT, CORRUPT, EVIL, SEXUALLY PERVERTED, DISGUSTING, SELF HATING SINNER
Thank you. I have been suffering for years in loneliness and darkness. I feel just as alone, just as depressed as when I started to realize that I was not okay 5 years ago. After all of this pain, suffering, effort, and pleading to God I find myself no better off. I still get rejected by women all the time. I still have these bad habits that I've been earnestly fighting for years. I still cry myself to sleep every night. I still hate my life, and myself. I still think I'm worthless. I still struggle to get out of bed in the morning, to go to the gym, to cook, to go to work, to go to classes stay in college. The people who I love the most are the very ones who have hurt me. And much was prophesied over my life in the last several months, and much was lost in the last several months too. A breakup. Loss of my grandmother. Loss of community. None of what has been said will happen (the breakthrough I've been waiting for years to receive), and the promise was that I would no longer be stuck, and I would be released, honored, loved, and receive joy in THIS season. But all I see are other people getting showered with blessings, God is suddenly silent towards me. I have fallen back into my habits, and obeying his leading has led me to pain and heartbreak time and time again.
I'm done fighting. Culture has lied to me my whole life saying that my situation was my fault. The good news, they said, was that because it was my fault, I could do something about it. The biggest lie I have ever been told is that "With enough time and hard work, it'll get better". I've been working hard for years, and I honestly feel worse off than I was before because now I'm quickly approaching the end of the line. Time is my biggest enemy. In the moment, the days seem to last forever, and the thought of living even another year is dreadful. On the grand scale, however, time and life seems to pass me by while I'm trapped in a cage. I've tried everything in the books. None of it has helped. My own willpower has not been strong enough to lift myself out of this pit. And I am incredibly discouraged. I feel put to shame by God, like he has just put me up on a pedestal so that others can laugh and make fun of me. Like he has led me to him just so that he could kill me and watch me suffer. I can't take it anymore. I'm done waiting. Waiting is all I ever do. I'm done being abandoned. Rejected. Neglected. It's all I ever feel. I'm tired of always being in pain, not enjoying or looking forward to anything. I've never been happy. And at this point, I don't even feel like I can ever be. My parents have cursed my family line through their actions, but the curse goes back generations. My childhood is over. I can't be un-bullied, I can't be un-neglected. I can't ever go back to the innocence and joy of a young child. Even now as I write this I'm crying just grieving the loss of myself. Why did it have to be this way? Nobody said life was supposed to be easy, and they say that suffering is a part of life. YES. a PART. What are you supposed to do when all you experience is suffering? How can I believe in God again? For all I know, the next place God leads me could be even more suffering and shame.
Pastor Chris.. this happened to me about 5 years ago.. my son was born and the doctor said he didn't know if this child could recover (at that time his lungs and heart were not perfect and in critical condition) yes right I remember there was a friend of mine who had a child too had leaky kidneys and survived so at that time I prayed that God would heal my child.. I went to church once a week (before maybe 1 year once).. a few moments later my child was allowed to go home and a few moments later he was checked again and his heart his lungs are no longer a problem.. God not only saved my child but he also saved me.. while praying at the hospital, I confessed my sins and promised to go to church and that was the first time I was hungry and thirsty for him. . and finally now I understand that he is actually not far away even though we feel far away, honesty, confession of sins, and believe he can heal .. at that time I know he can heal because my child Man, I am healed.. as in the Bible verse, people who come to ask to be healed because they hear / see people being healed,.. it's that simple but God sees
What a wonderful message. One of my dearest friends is dealing with pancreatic cancer.
Can someone please pray with me for restoration upon my relationship with a person in my life. His name is Cayden and we got separated a month ago and since then it's been an ongoing prayer that the Lord would bring us back together. I'm starting to loose faith in my prayers because nothing is happening and today I found out that he and another girl is talking to each other but something is telling me that I should keep on praying and that this is not the end. Please pray for me and with me that the Lord would bring us back to each other please.
Thank you so much for this powerful message.
I am the resurrection and the life ❤
Miracles are always worth waiting for.
My 38 year old son has metastatic melanoma. We need a miracle. Please keep Micheal in your prayers!
