      Thank you so much for this excerpt. Excellent choice of 5 min message of trust in God’s character and his word alone, that is needed for everyone. Stops us from seeking additional stimulants of our faith when His word is enough and perseverance is needed “I know my redeemer lives” type!

      We are in the great Deception, and even the elect will be Decieved if possible, according to scriptures. What we don't know doesn't get us in trouble, it's what we know for sure that really isn't True, that gets us in trouble. The fact is we live in the backwards world. Everything you were ever taught is a lie. Everyone on this plane existence grows up under Government. Govern = rule Ment= mental or mind. They have been ruling our mind since birth. The only thing we ever learn in life, is what we are taught by our parents, who were raised under Govern- ment. Then you go to a school, A govern- ment school. I mean you really have to, or your parents go to Jail. You have to be programmed. Next you watch public TV, In which they tell you it is programming, we will return to the programming after these messages. Operation mockingbird, a CIA psyop, that started in the late 40s, with subliminal messages and flashes of light, look it up. Scriptures says, All the Information that comes from man is carnal. Most of it comes from the experiences one has had, and that ends up being the knowledge, that He, or she, gathers up in his, or her lifetime. What a person believes has nothing to do with what is fact. Facts are absolute, anything else is false, and from the enemy, and a lie. Even the name Jesus is false.
      Fact: He was born A Hebrew Baby named Yahusha Bar Yoseph. Yahuah the Creator manifest Flesh. Scriptures clearly state, there is one name that you can be saved bye. That name is not Jesus. To deny Yahusha, and call him by a defiled name, when they know his correct name, is Rebellion. 1st Samuel 15:23 for Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry, because thou Hast rejected the word of Yahuah, why he has also rejected the.
      Next Yahusha wasn't hung on an cross, he was hung on a almond tree. A sacrifice is not a sacrifice, unless it's done on an altar. A Roman cross is not a alter. The Mount of Olives is the Eternal altar of YAH. The budding almond Rod from the Ark of the Covenant. Was planted there by King David with the skull of Goliath. Which became the tree, Yahusha was hung on. The cross is a 4000 year old death symbol. It comes from Egypt, and represents the sun god Tammuz. Scripture tells us, Yahuah is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. So How could He Have Two sets of Rules, old and new Testaments?( Who Did Away with The Eternal Covenant?
      Isaiah 42:8 I am Yahuah; that is my name. I will not give my glory to another, ( who is Jesus?) neither my praise to graven images ( who is Jesus?)
      1st John 3:4 (kjv) Everyone who sins breaks the law, in fact sin is breaking the law (Hebrew) He who sins transgresses the Torah, for sin is transgression of the Torah
      1st John 2:3-4 kjv And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments. He that saith I know him, and keepeth not his Commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Isaiah 30:9 This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Yahuah. That would say to the seers, see not, into the prophets, prophesy not unto us right things, but speak unto us smooth things, prophesie deceit. Are you comfortable in your life? Are you where you need to be Spiritually? Do you know everything you need to know, to walk in Freedom and confidence through the coming events? Because the Rapture is a made up doctrine By John Nelson Darby in 1831 ALL lies. 2nd Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the Earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Upon his second coming, the heavens, and the Earth are destroyed. Where do all the left-behind people live, come on think about it.
      Are you Saved? I hear I'm saved, or he's not saved. I hear that all the time. When scripture says those who endure to the end Shall be saved. The end hasn't come yet. Who are you kidding? This Is a process, and this process, is a painful process. You have to start over completely. You have to process all this false information you have been indoctrinated into. Learning things that contradict everything, that you ever been taught. Fighting Cognitive Dissonance the whole time. And most everyone suffers from cognitive dissonance. Please look it up. It refers to the mental conflict that occurs when a person's core beliefs do not align, with new evidence that contradicts that core belief. It may also happen when a person holds two beliefs that contradict one another. Cognitive dissonance causes feelings of unease and tension, and people attempt to relieve this discomfort in many different ways. Anger is the primary defense. So when you mention, The firmament, or the flat Earth, your instantly A nutcase, when in actuality, they have the disorder of Cognitive Dissonance. They cannot stand to even hear it. Immediately they shut you out. We all know that rejection without investigations is the epitome of ignorance. But it's exercised every day, almost every time it's brought up. It starts early, let's take school, your taught that you evolved from a monkey, and that you live on a roundball flying through space. School, Public television (cartoons), NASA and your parents all, taught you we live on a round ball, flying through space at 666 million miles an hour, while you're flying around the sun at 550,000 miles per hour, while your spinning at 1069 miles per hour, that's a lot of movements for you to not feel one thing. The Bible is a flat earth book. Their are over 400 places in the King James 66 book cannon bible, that states somehow that the Earth is stationary, and does not move. The Sun and moon were made on the fourth day, what did earth revolve around until then!! Come on! You don't believe Genesis!!! If Genesis is wrong, then all Scripture is wrong. Scripture is the only truth, in this plane of existence. We do not believe our own eyes, and our own senses, or the holy scriptures, we believe what somebody tells us. Nobody can prove curvature, because there isn't any!!
      A simple Lighthouse proves there is no curvature, NASA says 66 feet of curvature at 10 miles, 6666 feet of curvature at a hundred miles, how can a 70 foot Lighthouse be seen for 30 or 40 miles, Google it. The stature Liberty is 300 ft tall and it can be seen for 60 to 70 miles at 60 miles it would be under over 2,000 feet of curvature. Water is always level, it doesn't bend. It can't be round guys, no matter how much you want it to be, because you've been taught that. It's a LIE, and if they can make you believe a lie that big, what else do you believe.
      Look around you ladies and gentlemen, how many people are wearing masks for no logical reason. Face it none of them are 5 micron masks, they give absolutely no protection. You cannot keep mosquitoes out with chainlink Fence! They are Decieved into doing respiratory, Heart, and lung Damage, to themselves, Because thier breathing thier own carbon monoxide, and bacteria. Unbelievable!! But 2nd Thessalonians 2:11 For this cause YAH (God) shall send great delusion upon them that they should believe a lie. Most everybody in this world worries about what other people think about them. And they don't even care about what the father thinks. When he's s the only one that matters. He knows your every thought, What makes anyone think they can hide anything from him. They lie, brag, put on thier masks ( not the physical ones everyone is duped into wearing) the image, or the portraital, of who they want people to think they are. People use their mouth, to say, I believe, I love the father. But do they show it? 1st John 2:3-4 kjv And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments. He that saith I know him, and keepeth not his Commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Saying it is one thing, how do they put it into action? Just pay attention to what they do, it doesn't match their words. I call it talking out both sides of their mouth. Scriptures say, For not hears of the law are just before Yahuah, But doers of the law shall be justified. Fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom, proverbs 1:7 . Knowledge has nothing to do with wisdom. Wisdom is putting knowledge into action, and faith is a verb. James 2:18 Yea a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. Hope this is a wake-up call. Kdwarner5@gmail.com

      Do you know what the difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven is? Most believe that those are interchangeable terms and they're not far from wrong. Jesus reigns until he has defeated all of his enemies which are all power dominion and authority and then death itself. Then he returns the kingdom back to the father so that God may be all in all. I happen to know that death will be defeated before the asteroid hits that creates the bottomless pit AKA The abyss. This is mentioned in Revelation 9. So the end of death begins the kingdom of God. In the end the New Jerusalem will come down from space and load into it select individuals and the glory of the Nations. Then it will leave this earth and it's destination is the new Earth. And there is a list of different types of individuals that are not allowed into the New Jerusalem. Revilers and blasphemers and sexually immoral and greedy etc. The point is that once the New Jerusalem leaves this Earth it will then be the kingdom of heaven. I'm just not sure if it takes a thousand years to get there or 10,000 but regardless by that time we will be immortal. But those who are killed for the word of God and bear the testimony of Jesus Christ which is prophecy, will not face the second death. The way to win is only through the grave. But these people nowadays wish to live forever in this flesh. Anyone who seeks to save his life will lose it but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it. This is where the parable of Lazarus and the rich man comes into play.

      Used to have this too, anxiety is not our portion anymore. The enemy is trying to hide us from the world. The light of God that the world needs. Anxiety isn't something that will stay forever. Anxiety is not from God! It never was and never will be. Trust me this used to be a Huge issue. I did not want to go to school, work airplanes, the bus, church, public transport. Anything public made me wanna puke. I felt sick when i went outside. But when i chose to go even with my anxiety, when i chose to trust God. I get that in the beginning it's not always easy but literally it's worth it. Do it now! It will be a lot easier if you do it now, then if you would wait another year to overcome it. For me It's going away, i can step into the bus again, i can go out again. Fears are something that we have to conquer. And when we do, we will look back and think well that was a whole lot easier with Jesus then by myself.❤

    This is so true. My child was critically ill a couple of years ago. I felt no comfort. None. It was the most desperate time of my life. I have never been that low. And I felt nothing but despair. I remember going into the bathroom of the hospital room and crying. That’s the only prayer I could find - tears. And I constantly thought of what Jesus said, “never will I leave you and never will I forsake you.” I told Jesus I believed him over my feelings. I felt abandoned, but I knew I wasn’t. My feelings were not greater than his truth. That was eye opening. My son is healthy now after 6.5 months of medical treatment. But that was the lowest point of my life. And whatever I felt or didn’t feel, He was with me. My faith grew a lot from what I learned in that time.

    I remember being a young Christian in my teens and going through the back and forth of "sensing" (feeling) the presence of the Lord. Now, as an older adult, I look back as I grew in age and experience, that my most precious times were when I was physically ill, desolate, in heavy need, desperately alone and abandoned by family, life, and my God during those years.
    I never want to live those times again, but I've got to tell you...he saw me through and I don't know how. Because it wasn't because of my faithfulness or strength or my ability to hang onto the truth of Scripture during that pressure, but because He is the one Who simply will not let go, because He "will not lose a one of those that the Father has given to him"...Before, I only knew about Him, after, I knew Him.
    Such hard times, and I hate to even thank Him for those, but how can I not?...He has the words of life

    This is the EXACT situation I am in currently. I just recently became a Christian, only a few weeks now, and I think back to the day I was baptized and the day I first accepted Jesus and the day I felt the Holy Spirit come to dwell inside me, and for all my doubts I know the truth. Which is why when those glorious feelings are now absent, I wonder if I have committed the unforgivable sin or have lost my salvation.
    Why does God not appear right now to you and me? Because when He leaves, what will we say? Do you have faith in the sky? No, the sky simply is.
    Blessed are those who believe and have not seen, that is what we know, but for we children of Christ today it is blessed are those who believe in light even when basked in sheer darkness.
    The darkness of the world is doubt and loneliness and mistrust in God, how we used to live before we came to Christ. And we see the darkness for what it is now, and even though we are surrounded it in the same things that once gave us pleasure make us feel sick to our stomach.
    The Lord has NEVER abandoned us. How could we ever think that? Christ is proof our creator has NOT left us. It truly is as simple as the understanding that Lord has not abandoned us even when we feel alone. Because it is when we are at our lowest I feel we are closer to God than ever, when the world crushes us that is when God is closest to us. The Master did not come to heal the sick, he came to heal the broken.
    This isn't God leaving us, for God never leaves us. This is God getting us to stand our faith on its own two feet, a father teaching a child to ride a bike by letting go of them as they ride. Blessed be the Lord our God, I can't believe I didn't realize this.
    Thank you, Mr. Washer, you have helped me so much. I have never said this before, but I know it is the truth when I say it now- you are doing God's work. Thank you. May God bless you and I pray I one day get to meet the real you.

      Woah, what you said just spoke to me, well rather, Jesus has used it to speak to me. I've been praying, and praying and praying and sometimes I ask God "Lord, why haven't you done such and such instantly?" but I realised God wants to take me through a journey of patience, and trusting - relying only on Him and His promises no matter how dire it looks. Sometimes I can be swayed, "Did God really say that, or was it just me?" and then it's confirmed that _Yes, God did say that_ because He shows me another sign! It's hard, it's very hard to be patient and joyful in affliction and suffering but I know that God is in control, and my Redeemer lives! What He has promised, He _will_ perform, all I need to do is just trust and obey. Instead of having this prayer answered instantly, Jesus is using this to make me learn, and so I can preach to more people. What He has promised, He will also perform. I believe.

    I have been experiencing and learning this throughout the past year as well. In the beginning I thought that I was supposed to be “feeling” more, “seeing” more, “experiencing” more. But it is a wicked generation that seeks for a sign from the Lord. Having recently discovered in my walk that it doesn’t matter whether I “feel” something when I pray or cry out to Him. I KNOW, in my faith, that He hears me. He’s God, He is everywhere and He fills the earth: there is no way He can not hear me when I cry to Him. I often remind myself that what Christ did for me is sufficient for the rest of my life, no matter what happens. Christ is sufficient. He is my peace, He is my salvation, He is my love and my forgiveness and my strength, in all the moments I don’t feel that I have it in me. Christ is in me, and I am in Christ. And He is sufficient. ❤️ Reading through Hebrews and soaking up every delicious word was a big help during this process. By faith!

He has saved us from eternal death.

    I started feeling like this in 2020, when things were stripped from me. I was angry, and could not figure out how to turn it to righteous anger. I lost my churches because they were false, yet I found teachers of Truth; I lost 40% of my income during the shutdown, and God kept my business running. Each day I'm more acutely aware of my past sins and idols that I had no idea I was worshipping. I'm alone in my household with my praise and worship, and feel the weight of the world and my sin all the time. It's so selfish- I don't want to live life looking through my rear view mirror only.

    I went through this phase recently, I felt so miserable to not feel the presence of God, felt like God was choosing to be silent. It was so bad that I couldn't take it anymore (because when you have experienced God's presence and guidance every minute, you will feel extremely empty when thats suddenly gone) and decided to pray about it and cried to God, pouring all my heart into that prayer! At the end of that the day I felt the presence of God, through still small voice! Its been a couple of days since that, and I didn't think about it much. Now God spoke to me through this sermon!

    When I was first born again it was absolutely profound. It felt like a window to heaven had opened inside, and all the fear left and was replaced by love and peace. I was glowing. Now going on 4 years later, I feel that only sometimes after intense prayer and worship but even then not always. But when I close my eyes in bed and think about my Savior - my hope, I know ...I can feel my spirit bear witness. But not everyone's experiences are the same. And feelings don't mean jack diddly if you aren't bearing good fruit, looking to Christ.

    My lowest points were born of the heartbreak of betrayal in the midst of fighting for my children. Little hurts worse than seeing your kids despised snd rejected by worldly people with christian makeup, and that feed their despair from very real experiences. Nothing brings more joy than seeing them walk with God in faith.
    I have recently seen some of God's goodness pouring into them. I don't understand why he's so often silent when we cry out to him and why there is such vast cowardice within the church, but God is good and is not like man.
    God doesn't hide behind platitudes, presumptions, or self congratulatory posturing and excuses. He suffered yet was blameless. He alone is faithful and true. His goodness is far above and beyond our struggles and he weaves them into our good and his glory.
    He truly is worthy of all praise, glory, and honor. Let God be true and every man a liar.

    Hearing this today has enabled me to make sense of what happened to me over roughly two and half years of my life. I knew God hadn’t left me, but I thought I must have done something wrong, or not be doing something I should be. It felt like utter darkness and despair...I pleaded with God to help, and yet, it felt like nothing happened. It made no sense to me. I repented, thinking it must be that, but felt no relief. My joy was gone, I fell into confusion and a feeling of such misery. I longed to hear God's voice. I felt stuck. Nothing I did seemed to help.
    Only when I shared my pain with a friend at the end of those two and half years and how I’d got hurt by her, and wanted to move forward with her, and rebuild what I felt I’d lost (that was the thing that hurt so much...I felt everything of the LORD, I.e. all that I cherished, had been taken away). It wasn’t until these conversations with the friend, that things shifted. I am not back to what I was before yet, and it has been a mystery to me wha5 happened to me and why...so many questions. I have struggled with a huge sadness of loss because of this lady's words prior to the 'darkness' coming.
    However, this sermon has made sense to me on so many levels, and I can now see that it is perhaps what I went through myself. God was strengthening me. He was showing me that I would still be ok, despite not feeling Him, and instead feeling utterly in darkness and despair. I thought it was something I had failed to do that He had previously taught me that I wasn’t applying....but I tried everything.
    I wished that I had understood what was happening to me at the time. This was partly why it was so scary, because it was like nothing I knew that could happen to a believer. It scared me.
    I am so glad I have heard this sermon extract today.
    I have felt that I had wasted years of my life because of it...but now I can see nothing was wasted.
    I pray more people understand about these dark-feeling times and that people not be judged by their churches when experiencing them.
    At the time, it felt that I had been cursed - yet, It was a gift.

    Amen. I can fully and completely relate to all this. God has put me in places where I feel nothing but utter hopelessness, so much so that even the Cross of Christ and His sacrifice lost all meaning to me. As though it no longer defined the truth but rather it was just an empty opinion that lost all its weight and power. But God has guided me through the darkness. And I now see Christ and His Cross and His sacrifice as the only means of hope I have. Nothing on earth or above can save except through Christ and faith in Him, this hope has been burnt deep upon my heart, upon my understanding of things and the reality that we need a Saviour and there is no one other than Christ Jesus Himself. And I just ask for more of God's grace.
    The Psalm's have been a great comfort to me. Psalm 38, 39, 77 to mention a few.

    For the past couple weeks, I’ve been constantly praying over me not feeling anything. I was stressed out that maybe I was just repeating words and that my faith wasn’t genuine because everytime I said something regarding God, it was like a blank in my mind. I knew all the things in the Bible were true yet it was like I didn’t feel anything. I compared it to knowing that the earth was 93 million miles from the sun yet not saying “wow, space is insanely big! 93 million miles??” I was wondering if my lack of realization was evidence of ingenuine faith, yet I still found myself praying daily and also seeking to do anything that would make Jesus happy. Then this video comes into my recommended list.
    Maybe my “empty” feeling isn’t fake faith but rather evidence that I don’t rely on the mushy feelings of faith in order to seek to please God. This will definitely stick in my mind for times to come.

    This was a very powerful message. I'm glad that came across pastor Paul washer preaching who the Lord character in his nature and who he is. As a Christian I suffer with late-stage Lyme disease and what it did to my body I lost a lot of weight I had to get three bone marrow biopsies done at finding out that I have few less cells in my bone marrow currently at 20% to 25% and should be at 70% for my age. Even though I was misdiagnosed for almost a year wasn't treated correctly and I only can do so much with the income that I have. But through my six years I've been walking with the Lord when I got sick the Lord has been strengthened me build in my character and shaping me and molding me into a pottery other person that he wants me to be in his image to our Savior Jesus. Everyday I'm still learning to be spiritually mature and everyday I'm learning to be mature as a human being as a man. I know for myself and many others we can't go based on our feelings all the time on the days we don't feel the Lord's holy Spirit within us or his love we need to remember to go based on his promises and hisand we can trust everything that he says in his word because the Lord never changes he's the same God yesterday today and forever and for eternity. Now there's days where I think the Lord for my suffering because Paul says suffering produces and what's more. Even though I'm still suffering today with chronic issues and other things I know the Lord it's going to work everything out for good even if it looks bad. But I also need to remember I can't be selfish before him and when I start noticing complaining before him about certain things I need to ask for the Lord's forgiveness and mercy and his grace...✍️✝️🕊️ Isaiah 41:10 Isaiah 12:2 proverbs 3:5-6 Psalms 8: 3-4

    Our belief in God is never about feelings, it is based solely on faith ... Today more than ever many churches teach how to "feel" better but never do they teach solely from the word of God ... this "feel based" teaching leaves the believer empty and nearly faithless which many times leads to apostasy

    I’ve been dealing with feeling inadequate to receive God's presence. People around me at church always seem to receive pictures from God but I never received one, or am able to discern whether it's my own thoughts or God. With this in mind I was thinking, what’s the point in believing if I've never had a tangible experience from God besides in worship and tearing up a bit. Why not just live a life far from God and recklessly on my own terms? But no matter what I can't. Deep down I know that God is Good and Faithful and Loving. I know this because I’ve seen it in other people's lives and most importantly all over the Bible. So instead of straying when I don’t hear or feel God, I try to seek more of His presence, read his Word, serve, go to church, etc. I'm more of a thinker anyways, so when I learn more about God, through my growing knowledge of Him, my wonder and faith in Him grows even stronger, even when I don’t feel Him.

    WHEW! So glad to hear this!!! Never saw it from this perspective before! But it sure confirms my spiritual journey.
    (It's a tiny bit like Job-right?) I have known a whole lot of silent blind darkness even though I'm still believing, reading His word every am & pm, attending a weekly small group & regular church services, stumbling & fumbling with flimsy clumsy prayer & trying to focus on somehow someway building a relationship with someone I can barely find in the dark. But especially since Covid I've found my trust & faith is slowly growing grain by grain, drip by drop to a point I hardly recognize my spiritual self anymore! I'm now more grounded in Christ than ever before! More confident than ever before! Though I felt completely alone at times before, now I know that I know that I have NEVER BEEN and NEVER WILL BE alone! Praise His name! All thanks & honor & glory to Him! He has been with me all along! HALLELUJAH!

    I have listened to the entire sermon from which this excerpt was taken from but, I gotta say it's like I'm hearing this message anew. Over the past month, I've been struggling with the feeling that I'm not a Christian whereas the past me would have confidently say I am because I've begun to see just how great a sinner that I am. I thank God that our faith is never (neither should it be nor will be) dependant on how Christian we feel but in his character and words alone. Because the heart is deceitful above all things.(Jer 17:9) Bless and praise God for his character that's the anchor and the truth when storms hit and we find ourselves in darkness.

    I feel for those who are suffering without joy. I agree that pressing forward in truth is the only option. Meditation on 1John is a great way to move past it. John is warring against a cold, self satisfied, hard hearted loveless spirit that craves only knowledge and self satisfaction. John encourages us to meditate on “Jesus came in the flesh”. He concerned Himself with the lowly. Love is evidence of a right spirit. Knowing is a goal but not a fruit. Beware!

    Thank you for your messages. This past 22 months have been the darkest of my life. My husband of almost 25 years told me I had God and the church and we were going 2 separate ways. Then he left me know he had found someone else. He betrayed me, abandoned me, and divorced me. I felt hopeless and like my life was over. I had only dated him because he was called to be a missionary and was in Bible College as was I to serve the Lord full time...I felt so deceived and broken after years of abuse and living for God without him. I realized I could change him and wasn't the cause of his choices....and God will bring good our of the evil meant to harm me.

I was enlightened by this message just right now, and I will thank the LORD for it. To trust God's character even when life seems dry like desert and seems nothing like wilderness. A way in wilderness and a river in the desert.

    I’ve only been saved for about 8 months (so I think). An this explains me perfectly. I feel so far away an empty when it comes to emotions and feelings an love. I know I’ve slipped up an fell
    Into sin but I no longer swim in it. Even tho I feel far an feel like god is not listening to me I still
    Pray an try to follow his word. But no matter what I could
    Never go back to the pot smoking, partying, porn loving, watching violent movies, games hanging out with the wrong crowd. Because I know that is Sin in the eyes of the lord an I no longer love it. My conscience won’t let me live like that am I truly believe it the Holy Spirit that won’t let me live in darkness again. I pray I’ve been battling with this for months but I pray that I will soon see the full love of the lord and be closer to him then ever. I know I’m
    Still very new as a believer but I could never just walk
