      She needs to mega dose on B2 and B12. All the B vitamins are important but those two are most imperative to healing cervical cancer. She also needs to stop getting vaccinated as this weakens the immune system. Lastly, she needs to douche with clean filtered water, lavender essential oil, mixed with baking soda and iodine. Finally, make sure she is taking magnesium chloride. God bless. Tell her to eat clean and clean her blood by semi-regularly consuming raw garlic (like in a fresh salad).

      I completely understand. I'm going through the same thing. I feel like like I'm losing everything and everything around me is falling apart. At first I got really mad at God, but I'm starting to come around, to really trust Him, not just in the good times but also in the bad, through all seasons of life.

      In 2016 I nearly lost my marriage. My wife and I separated, a family member spread some nasty rumors about me cheating on my wife and dug into my life to find past sin and exposed it, to my church and act as if I was still involved in those sinful things. Durring this time, unknown to my wife and I, our children were being emotionally and verbally abused by their grandpa. I hit a massive of low point, where I contemplated taking my own life. But it was in this season of pain, I learned what it meant to really lean on and trust God and how to truly forgive. I am so thankful for that season, because God grew me and though my past sin was exposed, it became a part of my testimony.
      God is good, he will never forsake you, I have faith he will hold you tightly when you endure pain and he will lift you up, so your testimony will bring Him glory. I am praying for you!

But....no matter if someone does it a hundred times, if you seek God/Jesus's forgiveness and accept salvation from Jesus you will still be forgiven...it says in the Bible that even one sin cannot enter Heaven and Jesus is the only way to God and through him all sin can be washed away.

      Be My Bagel Babe
      Isaiah 55:8-9
      For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
      neither are your ways my ways,”
      declares the Lord.
      9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
      so are my ways higher than your ways
      and my thoughts than your thoughts.
      Job
      42 Then Job replied to the Lord:
      2 “I know that you can do all things;
      no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
      3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’
      Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
      things too wonderful for me to know.
      4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
      I will question you,
      and you shall answer me.’
      5 My ears had heard of you
      but now my eyes have seen you.
      6 Therefore I despise myself
      and repent in dust and ashes.”
      Epilogue
      7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. 8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.
      10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver[a] and a gold ring.
      12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
      16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And so Job died, an old man and full of years.
      God is merciful, graceful, and compassionate. We as humans are limited in our perspective, but God can see all of history from beginning to end. Ultimately, God’s work is best realized or understood when we have seen it behind us.
      Job held on to God. He was confident in God and knew that he was sovereign over his suffering and would literally die if it were His will. The book of Job illustrates that all people at some point in there life will endure tremendous suffering and that we all the choice to either have confidence in God or not. The ending of the book of Job reveals God’s Grace, once again.
      Life is suffering. The question is: what/who are you going to turn to? Only Christ is sufficient. God bless.

      @@brappsniffs3924 God restored everything back to Job that he lost and DOUBLED what he had before. God never remains in debt to anyone, but He often repays more for what is lost, working all things together for the good of those who love him. At the end of the day, it's all about God's glory, not ours. I understand that may be difficult for a non-believer to accept, and that's okay. If God wants you to "get it" He will reveal that truth to you in time.

    James 1:12
    “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
    When we are being tested we should always rejoice, knowing that God is their with us. Though we may lose the world, if we are to gain him we have all things. Like Paul said, “I consider all former things as garbage, compared to the worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”

      PowerHouse Fit Paul is false . No such thing as self appointed apostle ! He has his own gospel not of Christ . I could go on but go to Rod C Davis for Truth because for one he has much. Do you know what an apostle is ? Or is it because you believe the bible is the word of God? The Word was made flesh . That is not a book written by antichrist and his minions . Seek Truth LuvTruth. The Gospel of The Holy Twelve and Clementines Homilies as well as other's recently found Prove the Bible was edited to keep Hebrew law. Discarding doctrine of Christ. Jesus came in part to stop the blood sacrifice but the LIERS instead turned Him into one . Innocent blood does not wash away sin and never did. Seek Truth LuvTruth. Info will increase . Rod C Davis show's us much Truth.

      32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

      sometimes blessings is a great test..if you wanna see Hows your faith in Him..A blessing could be our great struggles also if you doubt whats your purpose..You dont need to go thru alot of heavy struggles to be stronger in faith and feel Gods direction sometimes its already your blessing that will be a struggle for you to questions your belief but uave faitj and recognized its God who will put faith in your heart you just need to accept the gift of faith and not worry if your not being tested like others..For only Jesus being crusified we only need to believe in Him not try to replaced what He done on the cross for us..Its done..There's nothing we could do to save our soul except believing in Jesus..We re given instructions and laws to be able to make our christian living not in vain but then again salvation is based on Gods goodness not on u not on us not in our works..We are only asked to have faith and work according to our faith so when we carry the word to the world where lots of people doesnt believe uet they will be able to recognized Gods work easily thru us..

These people ultimately end their anger or grief by denouncing the Almighty, showing they have no faith, and they no longer believe! A lost situation.

    In my limited experience, tests are what you say: benchmarks for where you’re at with trust in God. They can also be wake-up calls when I’m falling short. I’d also like to say that I believe temptations can be a part of that test, but that the temptations never come from God.
    I’m always amazed when I’m going through a major test and spiritual warfare simultaneously how God is working and using the situation for His glory. I suddenly become aware of God’s hands in the circumstance, and it’s then that I am not afraid, but in awe of His sovereignty, love and support in that hard place.

I have been here for almost three years and have not dated because God asked me for three years of only me and Him. I struggle being alone so it was hard at first but now at the end of these three years I see why He asked me to be alone for that long, I needed to depend on Him as my one and ONLY source, not a man! He has done SO much in me during these three years and in October when my time is finished I believe He is going to do something amazing with my life! All we need is Him. Finally knowing that has made everything in my life fall into a perfect place ❤️ He was testing my faithfulness to Him. He is worth every trial we go through because they draw us closer to Him.

    I prayed since then day and night, the sermon last sunday strengthen my faith, I believe God was trying to reach me through the sermon, the pastor talked about Abraham and his faith to God, the key words are dont worry, dont be afraid, God knows, He can, and He'll handle everything, the only thing He wants from us is faith, that's the only thing God wants from me and I failed last week, but now I give it to God, His will above everything I want.

    It’s clear that you are not expressing personal opinions, but rather expounding on what God’s Word has taught us about how to walk with Him since the beginning.
    May God continue to bless your ministry. Blessings from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷

    I’m so blessed to be where I am today and that I’m no longer where I was last year and previous years before. My life had not been easy and it seemed like I was being tested every time I woke up and I often wondered what it would be like to live a “better” life. After having a nervous breakdown and being hospitalized for anxiety last year I had time to reflect and realize why all of these things happened to me because they were meant to. Yeah, I did gripe (and still do sometimes) about my “hardships”, but I know I can take them and so does the Lord. He doesn’t give us more than we can bear, even though countless times I wanted to die I didn’t because there’s a reason for all of this. I’ve jumped from countless careers to look for the perfect job, but all of this time I had the perfect job within me and this year and onward I’m putting my best foot forward to make His vision real. No more excuses! I’m going to make history with His story of my life!

    Thank you awesome teaching. I needed that now to always remember this when I go through a trial 😬🤔 I’m still learning almost 2 years following and I’ve lost everything...but I never gave up on God...He restored so much back to me since then including my identity the most critical one...it wasn’t easy to lose what I thought I needed, He was there the whole time giving me understanding and when I questioned Him I did everything you wanted me to do, He gave me the wisdom to understand that what happened needed to happen. He wasn’t only about saving me but also my family and He was using me to do this...so He nutured me through the most difficult time of my life then He empowered me to help others. I’m still learning these videos keep believers encouraged coz this world will always discourage you. Thank you again God bless you your family and ministry

    Two things came up today. Your video and the idea of Jesus being tempted in the desert. The weird part is I think "desert" it's not a place but a time of scarcity. Someone just proposed an illegal business and I just got your video in mind and refused. Thank you and Godbless. Keep it up 🎯

    We all go thru such trials ect. We never will stop learning and growing with God...we have to trust him always thru all things. I have recently went thru alot. Not going into detail here. However i have trusted..love him .praise and worship him thru it all...and he made a way for me. He always will. Always has. There is no greater love. I love his ways.

    Amen, Amen!!! Perhaps God is asking all of us parents to be willing to let go of our children to live for Him. Sometimes our children are our idols. We place them above the will of God even though they will not obey Him or honor us. It is possible that letting go gives us an opportunity to experience greater trust in Christ as well as leaving our children to find Him for themselves.

    • @ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger
      @ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger  5 лет назад +2

      Yes, depending on the child's age, letting go is sometimes the only option as the father of the prodigal son did in Luke 15

    There was a person from the Old Testament, Job. He had received every good thing in his life that God has given him. But one day, Satan heard of that Job received everything good from God. So Satan and God made a deal to see if Job would stay loyal to God or curse in God’s face by losing all he had. Yes, the tragedies and losses were emotionally upsetting. But despite the tragedy and losses that Job went through, he never gave up on God and as for Satan, well he lost the deal with God and had nothing else.
