How can we be praying for the pit you're in?
I can't even answer that about the pit I'm in!🐬🦋🐛🦈🦕🐉
Pray for clarity and for Godly wisdom. For my mouth to utter only what is pleasing to God for the betterment of those around me. For revival and redemption of my husband’s heart. For change and healing in my own heart. For ultimate and lasting healing of our marriage. God’s will to be done.
I have actually stated multiple times this past week- “ everything sucks right now.”
Please, I'd like you to pray for my health. I'm in deep depression. It's hard to get out of bed to do anything. I wanna go back to being the happy person I have always been. Everything is grey, even though I live in Brazil where the sun shines 365 days a year. I've had professional help, I'm takings the meds, but it doesn't seem to work. I know only Jesus can bring me back to life, I pray and fast, I have a wonderful relationship with my Savior, but I find myself in this super deep pit. People have given up on me, they say I have no reason to be depressed, they are probably right, but I did not chose to be.
Today, watching this sermon, I see what I should do while waiting in the pit. I just don't know how to find the energy to get up from my bed. I feel embarrassed/awful for not taking care of myself, my body is the Holy Ghost's Temple, so I'm being disrespectful.
I'm sorry for asking for prayer, it all probably sounds nonsense.
Well, thank you for reading.
Didn't mean to make you waste your time.
I hope God takes me Home soon...
@@raquelmartinsMe I’ll pray for you. My daughter committed suicide this past summer and I will never get off my bed again. I lay here all day and watch RUclips and wait to die. I couldn’t do anything to help my daughter except pray. Please don’t give up, for your mother’s sake, and I’ll lift you up today 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@katylee1914 my dear sister in Christ, I'm so so so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I can only tell you that the Holy Ghost is there to comfort you and He's never gonna leave your side.
Now that I've read your message I promise you I'm not gonna end up my life. I don't wanna hurt Jesus, you or anyone by doing that. Both my parents have passed away and now I only have Jesus. So, I'll pray for you too. We will be delivered, we will find joy again in Jesus. Don't you worry, you are not alone. Sending you lots of love from Brazil.
God bless and thanks for writing.
My wife of 25 years recently passed. I thank God for our time together and am seeking Jesus to help me through this pit. I love her so much. Thank you God.
Prayers to you. Grief hurts. God can heal. I'm sorry for what you are going through.
I needed this sermon so much!!!! I’m in the pit of divorce. It was an abusive marriage but now I have to coparent with him which has been hard while putting the pieces of my life back together. Some days are so painful. I want to be a light to my son who’s only 6. But God….He is so faithful, this message certainly has given me hope.
KC.....I've been there sweetheart 30 years ago...it is difficult when all dreams have been shattered...but it's a new beginning...you did the right thing for you and your son!!! Don't go back but keep going forward with Jesus..you may not know what's ahead but Jesus will guide and direct in your path and light the way...LOVE YOURSELF and be kind to yourselve the way our Father God loves you with delight and a wonderful future for you..Jeremiah 29:11-14
I am so sorry you are going through this. I understand totally. I am 57yo. My divorce occurred 21 years ago. Parental alienation is a threat in high conflict divorces. I'll be praying for you!
I get it and am in the same spot as you. This message really spoke some good stuff into me. I'm going back through it today and taking a lot of notes. I've known and studied the life of Joseph all my life, but this particular message hit good. Hang in there, friend. God is good, loving, and in control no matter our circumstances.
Prayers for you KC 💕💕🙏🙏🙏
Yes!! This sermon brought us together
"The Suck-Fest is for a purpose... Use your new super powers." 🔥🔥❤
Best message I’ve ever heard of the life of Joseph. Thank you, pastor Levi.
I love his humor! The earth needed a guy like Levi.
Pastor Levi has me cheered up with his humor.
It was funny to hear Pastor Levi speak. It’s such a casual delivery. But don’t be fooled, God’s message is there and it’ll hit you when you least expect it. Walking with God, going through pits looking ahead…it all resonates. I especially loved how the scripture was read and used with such ease.
Just WOW 👏 This message deserves to go into the "Message Hall of Fame!" May God especially bless you Pastor Levi.
Worship in the pain. It will heal you and give you wings as eagles to fly above the storm clouds ⛅️.
God I offer my life to you alone forever and ever.thy rod and thy staff. Comfort me.
I need to go personally to one of his sermons, what a man of wisdom and such a bright soul, love you Levi ❤️
I am so sorry
Goodness, suffering successfully…hurt with hope….this was an amazing message and so very needed! Thank you!
“Hurt with hope” thats my phrase during this season, such a simple yet powerful phrase thank you so much for that word
Good message have listened to it many times to get it to sink in. Love that this man doesn't use church speak to communicate his messages. He is willing to put his vulnerabilities out there.
Thank you so much!! I cant tell you how much I appreciate you giving the steps of how to keep our heads in the clouds n not just to do it. esp when we're in the pit it can be hard.
But I am so grateful that God led me back here on a particularly difficult day. The sermon was just what I needed! Thank You Lord!! 🙌 And thank you Fresh Life Church! May God bless you all! 🙏🙏
God's doing something in my heart😭🔥 didn't even know I needed this but God new I needed this . Thank you Jesus I want your will not mine.
Wow what a powerful sermon. I really needed this message today. Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you. I appreciate being reminded of God's goodness, His plans for good and the fact that He can use my worst hurts to bless others through me. Praise God.
Right on I love it when a few preach real
God blesses all good Christians 🐅
I am from Latin America and I love your Ministry guys. My mother language Is Spanish but I learn a lot (even in English). God bless you guys!!!!
What a Powerful Message!
Thank You So So Much for a Real message for people like me... a sinner.
I'm not proud of it and sometimes I sin with out thinking, thru my thoughts and words.
You spoke to My Heart, You totally talked to me especially about grief and pain and letting go.
Thank You so Much and I look forward to seeing more of You.🙏❤️
We are human ♥ God's grace will cover you in these struggles. Faith is hard but being alone without help from God can be so much harder. Love your way.
To be fruitful hopeful in pain 🙏

Excellent.
Thank you for this I needed it so much
I really like Levi's messages. I will say that I am VERY uncomfortable when he says 'I swear to G_d...' I will never be comfortable with this, as it feels like you're taking G_d's name in vain.
Amen 🙏to this msg 🙏
God works in mysterious ways. 😍
Wonderful, thank you! 💖

I'm a "Joseph". My whole life has felt like a pit, from family, to friendships, romantic partners jobs, etc. I've been feeling bitter about life b/c I've had big dreams since I was a child and everything I've done to go after them has been to no avail. I wander why God has given me such a hard life. What you said about not focusing on yourself, but noticing those around you was comforting and what I want to focus on. I have no friends or family now, so I struggle to know who to pray for sometimes.
I struggle with some bitterness due to to hardness of my life. I've been trying not to be as mindful of the "promises" and just focus on what's going on now, but it gets hard b/c sometimes I can't help but notice how long I've been waiting. Prayer sometimes can trigger the anger or frustration of it when I go to pray and then remember some of the same things I've been seeking God on for years. Feeling left out and sad is understatement for me. I am very honest with Him though and sometimes, it's not pretty or respectful and in the heat of those moments, I don't care b/c God has put me through the wringer! I often do feel like where I am is my life b/c I've heard promises for years and haven't seen the prosperity. I feel tired of prayer often. Maybe I'm a bit depressed.

Beautiful scripture. Thank you Jesus for bringing this message today.
Turn off the tv, put down the cellphone and get off the internet. Thats revelation that came to me. Get in a loving real church, not church people or religious people but real people. One of my pastors said when you say why don't they like me, why are they so mean, why don't they like me, remember...if they didn't like Jesus Christ, what makes you think they're gonna like you. That was deep. One of the brothers said look at what you do have, not what you don't. Also don't overthink it. I relate to you, you sound just like me. But if you think about it, there is a lot of good. You gotta pray, trust God, seek God, be baptized innthe name of Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Ghost. Im an aspie too. I do get it. We overthink. We think others have it together but i don't. Youd be surprised how many have it worse. Plus times we are in. A fallen world. Read the Bible, get away from social media. My other pastor said we're all a hot mess. Im 56 you sound like me. Except you still have your hair. I miss my hair. Decent people will pray for you. Please God not man. Enjoy little things. Its just the way we think, highly intelligent, overthinking, feel different. Its just most people don't have self awareness. Some of us do. Love God, love each other. Listen to the birds chirping. They always tell us anytime you wake up this side if the ground you can handle anything else.
Good morning
The good the bad and the ugly
God just loves to play with us and make us suffer
No He loves for us to be tested and come forth for His glory.
You pray 🤎 You just don’t pray for yourself… you give just 1 dollar to a church that would use >89% of the money to do good work 🤎
And you pray for all animals and good people out there!!!!!! 🦃

Here's what NOT to do when your life sucks: become a Christian. Then it will really suck.
Hahahaha! Funny, but true. God at best provides a placebo effect: you think a powerful, invisible king gives a rat's ass about you, and that *alone* will boost your morale. God has very little to offer, but boy does he have demands! Sexual continence, turning the other cheek, praying for your enemies, being content and happy with whatever crumbs God deigns to give you etc. In God's insane economy, if you have food and shelter, you should be content!🤣
If anything is to be, it's up to me/thee. And financial freedom will give you infinitely more in terms of peace of mind, contentment, happiness than praying fervently to Jeebus for 50 years will ever begin to do for you. Fucking fraud.
