Listening to this and just was obedient to the Spirit to send my resignation letter to my employer. I been fighting this feeling for months and my health has been paying for it. I dont have another job in place just my creativity and talent I’ve been gifted with to minister with. I’m scared , I’m terrified but Lord I trust you .
Trusting GOD will always pay off! I obeyed GOD five years ago when He gave me confirmation to retire from my job with the federal government. I was very fearful but the LORD gave me peace when I obeyed, this sent me into a season of serious testing but we know that our faith has to be tested before promotion. Every time I questioned GOD about what I was going through He dropped Proverbs 3: 5-6 into my spirit! Five years later I’m about to give birth to my spiritual baby!! So Excited!!
Not to say it will take this long for you because God knows what we need for where He’s taking us!
Be Encouraged! It’s worth it!!🙏

LORD, please bless me so I can bless others! Please LORD show me my purpose in your Kingdom.
He has already showed me and told me it is time for me to activate it. To walk by faith and not by sight in to believe that he would never leave me nor forsake me according to his word it is written.

Amen!!!!!!! Wow!!! Thank you Jesus for Tony Evans. I am a domestic violence survivor. In 2019, I was falsely accused of Domestic Violence and forced out of my children’s lives with a restraining order against me. I did not understand why God “left me”. I was homeless and unable to see or even message my children. I couldn’t even say “good-bye” to them. On my way to work each morning, pastor Tony Evans sermons were playing in the radio and through these messages God spoke to me and transformed my life. I was convicted, rededicated my life to Jesus, I was baptized, I was discipled. For 52 weeks I was court ordered to take batterers intervention program and a domestic violence class. I have paid for almost 3 years for something I did not do. But, God gave me the strength and prepared me to use that opportunity to share my faith.
I am now a Certified California Domestic Violence Victim Advocate and trained for Prison Fellowship Ministry. I participate in local and global outreach ministry. I say all this to say: God can and will use anyone and any circumstance to bring glory to His name. If it wasn’t me, He would have used someone else. We can be used in all circumstances. All the glory to Him.
I’d love to share your testimony in a book I’m writing. Can i send you my email address?
Glory to God!!! I pray that the Lord will restore your relationship with your children in Jesus name ❤✝️ our God is able 🙏🏾 🙌🏾 ❤️
Many are the afflictions of the righteous:but the Lord delivereth him out of them all . He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Amen .!!!

*Tony Evans is such a blessing to all. I obeyed his words and achieved success*
”Experience is something I always think I have until I get more of it.” Can you give more ideas on how you achieved success by practicing the words of Tony Evans? I want to do this.
Tony Evans enlightened me on how the rich don’t teach how to attain success. They seek the ideas of financial consultants to help grow their finance and claim to attain success themselves.
To achieve success, a financial consultant is needed to achieve your goal. I engage in various investments through guidance from my financial consultant and have so far achieved great returns. (the amount is confidential).
The substantial approach you got here; we all need this, feels so good to be here. God bless you. 🙏
Deserve all the attention. I’m delighted to partake in this experience. 🙌
Psalms 54:2
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
Tony Evans makes it clear how the bible needs to be preached
Yes he does. The Bible tells us to listen TO GOD’S WRITTEN WORD FOR UNDERSTANDING. Pastor Evans perfectly translates scripture to daily life without deviating from GOD’S WORD. A lost art umognst men of GOD.
Yes he does!
Absolutely! He’s a great teacher. A REAL ONE.

BEST PRESIDENT EVER. HIS LEADERSHIP IS OUTSTANDING. ❤
I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God “God please give me a child!!!!!” that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test… it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He’s turning 1 in a few days! God is good!**
❤❤❤ Our God is faithful!! Beautiful!!
Praise God and His Holy name!!!! GOD bless you.

Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Isaiah 14:1
“For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Isaiah 14:2
“And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.”
2 Esdras 6:9
“For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.

I’m starting my Ministry today And this just happened to pop up as a suggestion to watch I was very blessed and encouraged by Pastor Tony Evans.
God bless you🎉
Was disobidenant to the Holy Spirit and moved to Kentucky with now my ex partner. The holy spirit convicted me and I was in spiritual warfare as soon as I stepped off the plane. Lost everything and one day I picked up my Bible and never put it down ever since. I am now moving in obidence and moving back to Florida to tackle an assignment God gave me after God prepared me for this during this time of Isolation. I’m nervous but I know ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER TO THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD!
He’s brought me back from 3 hospitalization overdoses . The third one I was in a coma on life support until Jesus woke me up. He brought me home from 10 calendar years in the penitentiary. He has brought me back from several respiratory failures. Hallelujah! I’ve been saved for 1 year walked away from everything and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.
PRAISE. THE. LORD!
That’s such a beautiful testimony, I’m so happy you found Jesus. He heals the broken.
Wow! Keep running strong, enjoying Jesus. ❤
Praise YAH !!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hallelujah
