    I dont know how many times I've had a crisis, come to the end of my rope & told God I can't do this, I'm giving this problem to you & I'll trust you with the outcome, even if its a catastrophe & almost immediately God performed a miracle & solved the problem...

    I feel scared most of the time I cannot sleep well at night. I live God I've been a Christian since I was 10, I read through the Bible every years since 2020, and it has been so much stronger. I am married to my wonderful husband he is a Christian as well we have been married for almost 9 years I Am The breadwinner in our family and the weight of the that responsibility is very hard for me. I have a really good job and I'm really good what I do God has had his favor on me in this company I know he is the one who gave me this job but I still worry and am fearful of the future and what would happen if I lost my job. Please pray for me.

      So sorry to hear that!!🙁Hey this helped me sleep at night when I needed peace. Fill yourself with the word of God as you sleep! Peace scriptures set to music, it really helped me! ❤
      Also, rebuke the enemy in the name of Jesus! You have authority over him if you are born again! Don't let him bully you anymore!🙌🏻

      God never intended the average woman to be the bread winner of the family but rather the support for her husband.
      He must have a special plan for you and it would behoove you to step into all that He has for you.
      And read and reread Esther again and again. She was responsible for the lives for 1 million Jews. But there was still an older man that Esther trusted advising her every move. Look around who does He have for you?

      And by the way I prayed for you this morning that you would worry less and trust more and move out in the direction you hear to go. You will be redirected if you heard wrong.
      I love the story in the Bible wherein King David believes that LORD GOD should have a temple as nice as David’s palace and tells his advisor of his plans. His advisor Nathan agrees, “What a marvelous idea!”
      God visits Nathan that night and says “No. I have no interest in David building me a Temple. But what I do want from him is for him to fully grasp how much I love him. I chose him when he was simply guarding his dad’s sheep. I chose him to guard and rule over my people to be the ascendant over the ONE to come who is the Alpha and Omega.
      But if a Temple for me is really on David’s mind. Then also tell him that his son who will succeed him will in fact build that Temple.
      I pray the same for you Lonna. That you come into the knowledge that God loves you just as much.

    At the morning I was asking God, why is this life so hard?(and it's not just about my life). And I heard: "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"
    Later I was listening this podcast, it was actually what I need to hear! Thank you! And Thank to the Lord for the deep answer, that had changed my perspective ❤️‍🔥

      Praying for you Hun, I can't say I'm going through the same but we are definitely going through something HARD, but remember what it says "fear not for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you , I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10.
      Whatever the outcome is, let it be His will 🙏🏼 he will not forsake us. And He isn't done doing miracles!!!

    John and Lisa thank you for helping us in our spiritual walk. I'm engaged to my fiancée and have been unemployed for 4 years. Thank you for teaching me to cast my fears/worries to God. My situation has brought discouragement in my life. From today all my cares i'm giving to the Lord.

    I loved this message. It is so hard to be single and live without any financial support net. Today I remembered out loud the various valleys God has pulled me through - He has been doing miracles in my life - Thank you Father! You are faithful! Psalm 138:3. It's insane and totally out of the norm to remain calm and in peace, trusting God to be in control. The enemy sometimes screams at me that I've gone crazy trusting God and even had someone close to me tell me You're praying? What has that gotten you? Yet I am trusting God to work all things out for His good and purpose. He has promised I will not be ashamed in Isaiah 54. Thank you for the reminder to Believe, hear Faith and Trust God. Thankful I am active in my local church and have a strong Christian to pray together as often as needed.

    Anxiety loves a fight. I remember reading this from the book 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels. Anxiety and all negative conditions want us to keep our minds preoccupied with fighting them, because it's what energizes them. That's why silence, meditation, and mindfulness are so powerful....takes away that "thinking mind" and allows anxiety and depression to simply be present and allowed to pass.

    So thankful for this apple of gold in settings of silver for me today! Former pastors now set in the marketplace by God, my husband and I are walking through a severe cancer battle. You spoke of the fatigue from trauma all around us. I needed fresh bread today and I have psalm 112 now on my plate! Be joyful always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks … this has been our blueprint for mental and spiritual health through this battle. God is moving and we are in His grip. Thank you for the practical help today! Love from Dallas❤.

    At the 19 min mark John said how people give their cares to God but then they take it back on themselves. This is really important, to be aware that you do not take it back on yourself. You have to make an effort to consciously be aware all the time not to do that. This is so good I'm going listen again. Thank you

    My 55 year old daughter had a very severe stroke and is paralyzed on right side and has difficulty speaking plus they found she has gall stones and they also found a lump. As a senior on a pensionthis the financial difficulties are great and I find myself very stressed at times. God has been good to us through all this and I know He is control. I really needed to hear this thank you.

    My back is broken. I can barely get around. I can drive 2 miles to the church I watch online, but can no longer sit in their Sanctuary chairs. My last church thought me a heretic when I showed them Scriptures believers are "saints not sinners" during a small women's group.
    Prior to back surgeries, I was outgoing. The isolation is painful. My husband said a sinner's prayer and stopped there. Doesn't want to read, study, church or hear about God, is a porn addict that thinks that is okay, has not been a husband to me in over 8 yrs. He's 11 years my junior, I'm 74. I am overwhelmed. John and Lisa, I have studied the wilderness teaching, attend your zoom calls, but still find myself crying God, where ARE you? No one is more disappointed in me..than me.

    All my life I've had the toughest time turning my life over to God. I'm pretty sure I believe in him. But to listen to people who are able to give there lives over to God I just can't get there. I've been fighting Multiple Sclerosis for many yrs. My family all moved away to Texas without telling me. The only person I have left in my life is my girlfriend of about 5 yrs. She suffered a massive stroke about 18 months ago. Unfortunately not only did it take away her walking. The use of one arm. But it affected one side of her brain. Alot of times when I'm with her it's like being with a 12 yr old. I hate for it to sound like oh poor me but I'm pretty much all alone now. I spend a lot of time with Karen but she's not really there anymore. I've been fighting depression for many yrs. Well now I live with it from the time I wake up till the time I'm able to fall asleep. And that's been a huge problem. My brain don't shut down so alot of times I just stay awake all night. Which ruins my time with Karen cause I'm in a fog. I don't know how to get out of this rut. I promised Karen 18 months ago that I'm not going anywhere. I will always be there for her. I'm 64 yrs old. So if this is how I'm meant to spend whatever time I have left being by Karen's side then so be it. She is all I have left in this world. But I still have to deal with all the b. s. That has happened in my life. I have nobody to say how you doing Tom. Take it easy Tom. How are you feeling Tom. I didn't even get that when my family lived around here. They ignored me a good part of the time. I'm angry as hell at my family but my mom is 85. My younger brother since moving to Texas has come down with health issues. So who can I get mad at. Nobody. I carry it around with me everyday. I've never felt so lost in all my life. If you read this. Thanks. Open to any suggestions
    Tom

      I will Pray for you, for peace, comfort, strength & healing, Our Father is SO GOOD, it is such a challenge for me to acknowledge the Blessings at times,
      I believe consciously giving thanks each day for 3 things will help!!
      ❤ & Prayers Tom!!

    @erintusubira121 9 месяцев назад

    This is good, but not as helpful as I was hoping. Sure, there's a lot of discouraging news in the world, but a most of that hardly affects our daily lives. What about when it's your home life that's been discouraging and challenging for so long? What if you are unable to find the godly community to encourage and encourage you?

  • @dennissudjian8223

    WHERE WAS THE LOVE > ❤️
    I love you both but I HONESTLY believe that you deliberately avoided to tell us about these rivers of LIVING WATER that flow from those who believe in Jesus (John 7:38).
    You also deliberately avoided to do & say so VERY MUCH about the POWER of GOD.
    PLUS the way the two of you portrayed your relationship as husband & wife was also in my opinion deliberate, and you know what I'm talking about > 🤪
    SOME EASY QUESTIONS FOR THOSE WHO QUALIFY TO TEACH THE WORD:
    1). What (according to the Scriptures) is greater than faith?
    2). What (according to the Scriptures) are we suppose to dwell in?
    3). What are we (according to the Scriptures) suppose to be doing at all times while denying ourselves?
    4). Who is GOOD?
    5). Who is LOVE?
    DEFINITION OF LOVE
    1 Corinthians 13:4-8
    GOD IS THE GREATEST > 💯
    1 Corinthians 13:13 NRSV
    And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
    What is it to fear the LORD?
    Who hates evil & loves righteousness?
    How can we not become polluted by the world?
    We can overcome evil by doing what?
    Who is GOOD?
    A NEW COMMAND > ❤️
    John 13:34-35 NLT
    [34] So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. [35] Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
    ARE YOU HIS FRIEND > 😇
    John 15:12-14 AMP
    [12] “This is My commandment, that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another, just as I have loved you. [13] No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. [14] You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command you.
    WHAT IS GOD'S WILL FOR US IN CHRIST JESUS?
    1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 NRSV
    [16] Rejoice always, [17] pray without ceasing, [18] give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. [19] Do not quench the Spirit.
    PERSONAL NOTE!
    When God saves us never forget that He is saving others from us TOO!
    So we should take the sanctification process VERY SERIOUSLY if we have a sincere love for GOD and for OTHERS.
    We are living inside The Potters Shop & guess who created all the vessels?
    Psalm 33:13-15 NRSV
    [13] The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind. [14] From where he sits enthroned he watches all the inhabitants of the earth- [15] he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
