Thanks, Chris. This message really ministered to me personally, as well as the illustration. Both are so spot on for what God wanted to say to me. Something happened a couple of days ago which stirred up some painful memories and the pain made me really angry. Not at God but some other people but I told God, "God, I need to tell you, I still have a lot of anger about this old wound" (It brought up some old, ugly feelings I thought I had totally surrendered a long time ago). Yeah, because I let it distract me. I knew immediately, I had areas I still needed to surrender to God but, I was struggling. I really didn't want to surrender them. I wanted to stew in my anger a bit which was robbing my peace and joy. It was me being selfish. Normally, I cast vids to my TV but my phone just happened to be in my hand when I got the notification you had posted a new video. I recently cracked the screen on my phone. I honestly had forgotten about it and I went ahead and watched your video. I didn't turn it to landscape I just kept it in portrait. So I was watching you, and it looked like you had a bunch of gum coming out of your mouth. Like a big wad of gum lol. I know it sounds so silly! I thought why is Chris chewing on a big wad of gum while he's doing a video? That's so out of character for him. I don't even think I've ever seen you chew gum. 🤣 I then turned my phone to landscape so I could see you speaking better. There was no gum. It was then that the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart in the most tenderest way and said, "your screen is cracked and it was distorting your view". As soon as you turned your phone so only Chris filled the screen, you saw the correct, full, view. When you trust me and keep your mind fixed on me, you stay out of that old distorted, buried, place of hurt and anger and in exchange, you walk in my peace. 🙌🙏 Thank you Lord for loving me and for gently bringing me back to the place you are when I turn away. Praise your Holy name. Thanks for being obedient Chris and speaking what the Holy Spirit placed on your heart. He used it to free me. ♥️🔥
Chris, we were just talking maybe an hour before we watched this, about the futility of being anxious and worrying. This is an area that I personally still battle at times, feeling overwhelmed with all I see on my plate before me. This message was Godly timed for me and us, and we both love you both. Thank you always brother🙏🙏
