I was excited 4 minutes into the sermon because I felt like the message was for me.
I was near tears at the end of it because it really was. God bless this Ministry, you've poured so much into me today. I could type a whole thing but the words wouldn't be sufficient.. God knows.
🙏🏽❤️🙌🏼🔥
What is he talking about when he said you are probably over sessionalizing something what does that mean
What did he was talking about when he said maybe you're over insessionalizing it what does that mean over sensationalizing it
What is sensationalizing mean he said that's probably what you're doing is over sensationalizing the the whole thing what exactly does he mean by that can you please explain to me that's what I was trying to tell you but the other words just got tongue tied
@@bessieschaedel3890 I think the word your looking for is sensualizing. means your trying to force a spiritual high moment on your emotions. Trying ti force emotions on yourself that you deem to be Godly emotions or emotions you have during spiritually high moments, in my life I did it to try and trick myself into thinking that my efforts of drawing near to God were successful. Now thats probably something only I have a problem with, but in general its overplaying a spiritual experience to be more then it actually is, by either forcing your emotions to be stronger then they naturally are or whatever.
If a sermon is boring I will tiredly sit through it, but this was POWERFUL through Jesus! I sat through every second of it eager to hear the next words to be spoken!
I've felt the presence of god. God has blessed me with many things in my life. But in the past few days, I had a big disappointment in my life, and have since been sinning. I've lost the conviction of the spirit, that feeling of disgust that comes with sin. I don't want my sin to be in the way of my relationship with god, but I don't know how to regain the passion I once felt. lord please save me. I miss you Jesus
Lord I feel as though I have let you down I haven't been a true Christian my faith has slowly deteriorated and I pray in Jesus name that I am brought before Your presence again so that You may work Your miracles like You did before Amen

That's exactly how I've been feeling lately.. 💜 Let us continue to seek God and know that He is there! "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." -Hebrews 13:8
I've become so distant with God just so tired from hurt
@@cjlouise11 I pray that the peace of God fills your heart, the facts are you feel far the truth is He is nearer than you think. He formed you, He knows your coming and your going, your lying down your rising. Even when you make your bed in hell He is still there. His love for you will never change. He sees every pain and He is a healer I can testify. He looks at you and sees a precious jewel, He sings over you and He is bringing you to His love, joy and peace. Hold on❤️❤️
God’s presence isn’t always goosebumps, chills, hair raising or a flutter in your heart… although these feelings come sometimes we are not lead by our feelings but by our Faith which is THE WORD OF GOD, this is why reading God’s word as much as possible we get to know Him outside of our feelings!! This message is so needed for this day and time, because a lot of us rely on our feelings to confirm the presence of God but on the contrary. God Bless You All!! 🕊
The peace that comes during a bubble bath is the presence of God too! All good things come from the Father. And peace is not of the flesh, but of the spirit!!
Indeed!🌅🌅🎊🎊
Amen hallelujah thank you Jesus for baths!
Amen!💘💘💋💋

I recently surrendered my life to Jesus. In the last 2 months my life feels like in ocean tides. My marriage, my health, my family relationships, my finances are stumbling and in danger. During the storm I received the message;
"Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called"
1 Timothy 6:12
Thank you God for allowing me to know you more!!!
Me too!🦋🦋🤍🤍
Praise God!! Thanks, Jorge, for sharing that! Yes!! Keep your eyes on God. He is faithful!!!

“Whoever finds God, finds life!”
Sometimes we think that when we ask Jesus into our heart everything will be better... In in innumerable ways it is... But once you give your life to Jesus the enemy doesn't want you to stay on that path... And he will attack in all kinds of ways to make you doubt God because he's causing all this bad stuff. But hold tight to Jesus and you will have eternal life and all the things of this world will work out to show God's glory in the outcome! He works all things together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose! And that's you!!
I’ve given my life to Jesus 7 years ago and I will say this is one of the most beautiful moments And teachings I’ve experienced ever 😭❤️❤️❤️
Recently I’ve been numb to feeling and every so often I’ll get a feeling but dark and negative thoughts follow. I’ve been praying and praying but keep falling to lust. I really needed this today. Thank you
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. We’re praying that God will give you clarity, day by day. If you’re looking for encouragement from people who’ve navigated doubts of their own, this is a great place to start: finds.life.church/tag/doubt/

Wow..what a beautiful, powerful sermon..God bless you indeed❤
God wants to be pursued. If you seek God with all your ❤ He will reveal himself to you.
Just because God feels distant does mean He’s absent. 👏🏾 👏🏾
This is something I just recently learned and still learning after feeling separated from God after my divorce. I stopped seeking when the divorce was finally then was angry at God and became extremely depressed. Then wondered why I didn't feel the presence of God.
He was still in my presence. Next to me. Loving me. While I was angry at him and hurt. I'm so thankful for God's love.
We’re praying for you as you navigate these feelings of anger. If you’re looking for encouragement or wisdom from people who’ve had similar experiences, you can find those here: finds.life.church/?s=anger&is_v=1

God with us yesterday,today and tomorrow
Amen! 🙏🏻
The part where YouVersion’s verse of the day is hand picked just for us is so relatable. God’s word isnt just comforting, but it also teaches us, gives us wisdom, and gives us guidance. God is good 🤍
Great god-topic-coverage:
Genetically Modified Sceptic.
I can relate fully to this message. I know will not always feel God, it would be nice in this time of my life though. I'm losing my faith for sure. I will bounce back soon. Prayers appreciated
AMEN
All the time
God is good and only god can do that and not only does the word give us those things but it gives us life.
I’m giving my life to Jesus

He feels so far away at times! My 27 year old mother of 4 daughter died on the 7th!
They say only the best die young. So your daughter must've been one of the best. Death is hard to handle no doubt. But God had his reasons. God Bless you and your family.
I'm sorry..I lost my husband in February and still miss him and I LOVE HIM EVEN MORE NOW THAT HE IS GONE!!
🙏🏽So sorry to hear of your unimaginable loss, Ruth. What deep grief you must be carrying. We’re praying for you, and we’re here for you. If you’re looking for encouragement as you navigate this difficult time, you can check out others’ stories here: finds.life.church/tag/grief/

Hi 👋 Ruth how are you?
I needed this so badly! I can't do anything without GOD! GOD I need YOU more than anything! I'm pouring my heart out to YOU! I'm at the end of my rope. I'm looking for YOU right at this moment! Please rescue me from my sins and they are many! I don't know what to do so I come to YOU! Show me the way! Be with me and show me what to say and do! Take out the things in my life that need to go! Remove me from the people, places, and things that need to be put out of my life, right now in the name of JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR! Cleanse me from all unrighteousness and fill me with YOUR HOLY SPIRIT! AMEN AND AMEN!
God bless you..never give up..He is always there..he always loves you.
@Jennifer Sturgess Thank you and may the LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU!!
I gave my life to god. This is new to me. Going on a month looking for a church and want to learn all I can cause Jesus is great and almighty

Thank you Jesus, You took me out of a life threatening addiction to heroin that I COULD NOT get out of on my own. I love You, Jesus. You are my King. YOU ARE MY WORLD.
Praise God!!! Thank you for sharing how He delivered you! - Melissa, Team LC
Melissa…I have been in that exact situation,just know that the lord has you…as me,there was a time I thought I’d never get out of the cycle of using..you know how it goes…I come to listen to this sermon and found your comment…hope you have a blessed day🇮🇪✊🏻🙏😇
the holy spirit just told me maturing in your relationship with god is like growing up, you do the stuff you did when you was young you feel responsible regret its the same way with god he shows you what to not to do and we ignore the signs and do them anyway, you may not fall to lust or rage or nothing big but you feel the little sins you do and thats why i felt so far away from god is because i was so worried about the big sins i forgot about the little ones
I re-dedicate my life to Jesus, only him can fill my heart desires, I’ve tried my own ways but it just ends with disappointment and emptiness
I feel the presence of God today. On my knees, hands raised in prayer. Legs shaking, tears streaming.
🙌🏼🙏🏽❤️
That’s how I feel every time I open my RUclips in the morning to listen to the word.. it’s like the first messages/video that pops up is the word I needed for that day. I give my life to the lord.
Jesus:
John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
Jesus: John 8: 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
Acts 5: 32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
John 6: 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
James 4: 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
May God help me and give me.
Philippians 4: 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [d]comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [e]lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [f]dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

4 minutes in and I am so excited! I have been struggling with this disconnect for so long, and these past couple of weeks I have been bringing it up more and more. The fact that 4 minutes in he's describing my feelings exactly feels like an answered prayer wow!
🙏🏽❤️👍🏾
God is so good 💕 I really hope this brought closer to our Father.
I'm still at 2:57 after almost one hour. This because i pauze the video so often to have a chat with God about this in my situation.
And while i'm doing this.... God is telling me things. Joyce Meyer is one of my favorites too.
I'm not feeling God's presence right now, but that doesn't mean to give up searching for Him.
It's not a cardinal feeling it's spiritual feeling nothing else matters it's a joy when I'm in the presence of God and nothing else matters but the holy spirit is near me plus I get the lord gave me the gift of spiritual
I step towards you Lord. I am saved and know you but my desire is to be closer to you Lord

For a few months now I've been praying for a man named Edgar. He is connected to Life Churc in some way.
He said that he couldn't feel Jesus in his life.
Today I pray that he sees this sermon.
I know I needed it. Praise God!
Thank you Life Church
Friends I need your prayers really really bad, I am desperate for God to reach out to me and touch me and heal me , Lord you seem so far away - come near me Lord and touch me Jesus
This is one of the all time greatest Life Church sermons for reaching not-yet Christians. The challenge is getting them to watch it...
God, we pray for Polyester Avalanche’s loved ones. Send people into their path who will show them how much You love them. Help them to see and understand the truth of who You are and how much they need You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God is with you today, and for always ❤ I love you all and I pray for your salvation. I feel God's presence when I pray and when I learn about and grow closer to him, I hear that inner thought that just happens to tell me the answer to my question or issue. I see the results of the guidance I ask to receive. I feel him all around me.
I recently moved past my doubts and fears, through self research and study, finally I can say that I am now able to fully commit my life to our holy father. I owe him everything!!! I fear yet love him, just as I should. I regret taking til the age of 27 to realise this. I have many years to make up for!! ❤ I pray that anyone reading this, that has doubts, can find their path to true faith and understanding and cast those doubts out for eternity.

This sermon has blessed me so much. I've been a Christian for a long time, I've felt God many times. Right now I'm going through a hardship, while I was listening to this sermon, I got down on my knees and I just started crying. Thank you for preaching God's word.
GOD Bless you
I have cried through half of your sermon. Praise God for his spirit and I thank him for his presence and his forgiveness. My prayer is for all people to change their mind if they don't believe,,, because GOD is real and true. There's none like him!
That's amazing, Barbara! So glad you enjoyed it. ❤️ Amber S. -Team LC
Thank you! I have hardened my heart from being hurt by the church, and I know what I need to do. Thank you...
The church is full of spiritually sick poeple. Christians are saved by grace but not yet perfect. So don't put your faith in poeple but trust God with your whole heart.
Thank you God, for being always with me.
Thank you for your love, help me to be an extension of your love through my actions, thoughts and words.
The Lord loves you tremendously! He is so merciful towards us!

I accepted Jesus as my savior at 11 and quickly growing up fell into a sinful and shameful life. I have committed adultery and am a recovering drug addict. And I am hurting inside for the things I have done. I am asking for Jesus to redeem me and to give me the strength each day to follow his commandments because I love my King and want to serve for His will and purpose. Please pray for me. God Bless everyone and God Bless this ministry.
Thanks, James, for sharing.

I grew up as a very spiteful young man who resisted my beautifully religious family’s faith and practices and would drag my feet to church every week. Since moving out I’ve found god and found my faith and went to church today for the first time in years, and the first time in my life willingly and looking forward to seeing god again as I had when I discovered him for myself. The mass today was so powerful and I really felt the spirit. I have been praying since and I hope everyone can make it on their path. Amen

I have been a "Christian" most of my life, I became a "Born Again Christian in 2010 after an Alpha Course. I have been baptised by immersion. There have been so many times when I have felt God in my life - but it feels like I have not been feeling him for a long time now. Your message helped me today. It made me realise that I might not be feeling God right now, but I am still seeking him in my life. I lost my son two years ago, and I have been struggling with enlarged prostate problems for a long time that mean I get very little sleep, I am often tired. But today I realised something, I am not achieving the things I want to achieve in my life and lack of achievement, lack of purpose, and not recognising the good things that are there are making life feel dull and empty when actually it's not. I am helping many people through a mobility service I set up, and I am 11 months into the best relationship of my life. I live in a very beautiful part of England. God is in my life - I am just failing to notice it.
I wasn't expecting to cry, I actually wasn't expecting to feel any emotion from this video but I highly believed I was touched and I really needed this. God is so good, and when we seek him we still surely find him in the most unexpected ways. All glory to God. How good he is. 🩷🙏🏽

Jesus:
John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
Jesus: John 8: 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
Acts 5: 32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
John 6: 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
James 4: 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
May God help me and give me.
Philippians 4: 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [d]comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [e]lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [f]dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
God is with you today! 🙏
Wherever you are, whatever you are going through, God is with you. Do not be afraid. Our heavenly father never leave us ❤

”Whoever finds God, finds life!”
Thank you for this message. My daddy passed away in a motorcycle accident. I felt so lost and far from God for an entire year. I decided to start seeking God because I knew He was with me through the entire process of letting my daddy go. The grief was overpowering my faith and all I needed to do was seek God. Go to Him. Thank you for this confirmation and clarification.
Hello @Joanna Gonzales👋.Thank you for openly sharing about your loss. We’re so sorry about your loss and we are glad to hear that the Lord is healing your heart and walking with you through your journey.🙏
We're praying for you and your family. And thank you for joining us.

Lately I've been feeling so far from God, I try to listen to praise and worship songs but I still feel I'm not there. It gives me so much peace when I feel the presence of God in my life. There was a time in my life when I felt like my life wouldn't be the same anymore. My friend was talking to this certain man of God and he ended up talking to me too. When we begun to pray I burst in tears because I realised how much God loves me and suddenly I felt a breeze, I physically felt God's comfort and he told me that everything will be okay in my life😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️...that cry relieved me of all the pain that I felt🥺
Amen!!! The LORD loves you so much!! May the Lord heal every part of your soul in Jesus name! God Bless you!
