Its miraculous how I stumbled upon this sermon. It spoke directly to all the biggest issues I have now. “Seek forgiveness “ “ Change language “. Thank you . God bless you.
It is beautiful how God uses us to minister to brothers and sisters we haven't even met through messages like these. I have always struggled with thoughts of self-hatred and even after becoming Born Again, I've had such a deep rooted "habit" of speaking negatively about myself, specifically my physical appearance. Isaiah 53 helps encourage me when it speaks about Jesus' appearance - that He had no form nor comeliness and that there was no beauty that we should desire Him. The deeper the weakness is embedded in our souls, the harder they are to resist, I find. As God's children, we fight a brutal war with our flesh, casting down thoughts that aren't pleasing to Him continually throughout our day. There are some sins God drives out little by little overtime, because He is glorified in the work He does in us. Praise the Lord! God bless your dad for this message. God definitely used Him to speak to me today.
Thank you for these wise words . I’ve failed countless times now and I’m only 19 . I thought myself a failure, loser , dunce you name it haha . But now I know Jesus doesn’t think of me as a failure because I still believe and have faith in him. In hindsight my failures have actually brought me closer to the Lord ! Now I thank God for everything , even the failures! I hope the lord has a great plan for me someday.
Please pass along my thanks to your father for that wonderful message. It felt like it was meant personally for me. Such a blessing. Give him a hug for me.
Great message! I see you had a firm foundation in your dad. He lays it out so clearly, that even a child would understand. May God bless him, and your ministry as well Dave.
Thank you for this message, it has blessed me greatly as I do struggle with failure, rejection. Would you kindly pass my thanks on to your lovely father please, Dave. I'm very grateful for your messages and have learned so much and always look forward to each upload. God bless you and yours. Kellie.🙏
Thank you for this message, and please thank your father for his sermon it was just what I needed to hear, as usual, I am always blessed by your messages and eagerly await each one.
I forget this, God looks at the heart, I feel like a failure but I know I'm not. I love and care, I just need to remember and keep trying. Be the person God knows you are. We are made in his image.
Thank you Brother Dave. Tonight I felt led by the Spirit of God to listen to one of your videos before going to bed after a long, trying day. I learned some troubling news tonight about a family member who has struggled for years thereby making bad decisions after bad decisions. I was tempted to think they will never change, but after listening to your message the Lord seems to be saying to me that He is working in this loved ones heart, and to continue praying/believing for change to come. Thank you for the message. I am grateful the Lord led me to RUclips to be taught more of Him and His Word.
Hearing your Dad reminded me of Corinthians 1:27. When your Dad started talking about the ugly duckling, it immediately took me back to my entire childhood/time at school. I was the youngest of 9 siblings and we were very poor. Any clothing I had was hand me downs and patched up. I really did dress like Oliver Twist! I was always bullied, ridiculed, had no friends and was considered thick. I eventually left school with nothing much. I'd never met my dad as when I was 18 months, my family were rescued from him as he use to beat my mum and elder siblings. Because I had no dad growing up, God became my Farther early on in my life. I did (inter alia) what your Dad said: use to compare myself to my piers in terms of intelligence, looks, appearance, worldly goods etc. In fact, I tried so hard to be like them, that I forgot to be who My Farther intended me to be; which was "just me". When I broke away from all that nonsense, this was the beginning of the end of my ugly ducking phase and the beginning of my transformation. Several years later, I ("the thick kid") somehow ended up creating and running my own company's, employing people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money to recover millions of pounds that these smartly dressed, rolex wearing, degree holding, popular people had lost because they were so incompetent and had zero common sense. 35 years later, I stopped doing that job and happily gave up my 6 figure income to be poor again in worldly & material things and rich again in My Farthers work. Whilst I may never have got an academic degree, My Farther gave me one of the most useful qualifications I could have ask for :a degree in hindsight Looking back, and just like in Corinthians 1:27 (and Mathew I think), The Farther used me to shame the wise and the strong.
