Amen Jacob. I believe this is my 4th time listening and following along. Thank you for your testimony!
I need prayer warriors to join me in prayer. My wife has filed for divorce. I love my wife, and believe that Christ brought us together. I pray that God will rejoin us and place Him at the center of our marriage, so that His glory and power will shine through. There is nothing God cannot do, no heart or mind that he cannot change. Praise Christ, because I believe He can open any door, and He has heard our prayers.
My Brother Bob
Jesus said; I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Thank You Father for sending your One and Only Son Jesus for our brother Bob , Thank You Jesus for your Holy Blessing Of Peace from the Cross to be with you , by the power of The Holy Spirit through Jesus , In Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen Amen Holy Trinity Amen
Praying for you & your family ❤️🔥🙌❤️🔥
I pray God keeps you together
I have been praying to the Lord for a miracle to happen in my life. A miracle which involves restoration with a loved one. It’s been months of praying, fasting, sowing seeds and weeping, but it seems like nothing is happening. It was taking too long. Only yesterday I prayed to God and wept before Him. I felt defeated, distressed, anxious and asked Him for guidance on whether I should just give up and move on, or continue praying about the situation. I asked Him to tell me in a clear and precise way on what I should do. I was ready to give up….UNTIL this message. Somehow the Holy Spirit led me to this message. As I listened to the message, the Holy Spirit told me that is what I should do. Keep praying, keep pushing, be expectant and my miracle will be birthed. It’s taking a while because it’s a heavy pregnancy, it’s a big miracle. I must keep praying and pushing!!! Thank you dear Father you heard my prayer yesterday and you gave me the clear and precise guidance I asked for on what I should do about my situation. It’s all very clear to me now, I will continue praying, pushing and expecting and I WILL have my testimony!!! 🙏🏼🤗
TrustGod Always I am literally going through the same situation praying and weeping for a restoration with a loved one as well and I prayed and begged the lord for some sort of sign so I can have direction, low and behold I came up on this video and I feel it gave me strength as well to keep pushing so I hope you continue to push as well. God bless.

@@ajgould931 I too went thru what you ate going thru. 2014 I and my wife separated. I needed a miracle. It looked like we were headed for a divorce. Everything she did was in the direction for her to lead her life without me. BUT I was looking at webcast my eyes was seeing, I prayed, i prayed and prayed. Month after month went by. Without my wife was painful, I prayed for a miracle, and 2015 it all changed, she came home. I could not see what my prayers were doing I could only see what she was doing. Prayer works, God Listens. I asked her months later why she come back. She stated she felt a strong urge to return home. She ignored the urge..until she came home. Prayer works, stay in the fight, dont listen to people’s negative outlook of ur situation. Push on..
LLCOOL M. Thank you so much this definitely inspires me, it’s a painful road but i’m doing my best to remain positive and trust in the lord. At times i feel like giving up but i always find a little strength to keep on pushing and i’m glad that you also never gave up. Take care and God bless.
LLCOOL M. I’m going through the same exact thing with my husband. I am left with our newborn daughter, and other two children and all hell as broken loose. I have been praying for restoration and I feel so defeated I can’t even get the words to form in my mouth. How long did you continue to pray for? And how did you pray even when feeling defeated like you have cried all you have in you?
I can listen to Dr. Evans all day. He is so articulate in explaining the word with basic every day life ‘stuff’, for lack of a better word. This man’s words from his mouth are a blessing to all of us who are willing to listen.
I love this Pastor! He has a way of simplifying so we can understand God’s word and character. May this live on forever.
YES
its more than that. He has a way of taking verses I’ve read or heard a number of times but he’ll focus in on just a word or two that I blow past and turns that into the sermon. Showing the power of God’s word in the hands of a real preacher man!
I was there in Columbia SC. Thanks Linda.
Tony Evans is real blessing to us in it’s simplest form of understanding 🙏🏽👌🏽

Hello everyone I am a 47 year old Woman who have been waiting for fruit of the womb for 14 YEAR’S and I stand on my Faith that God will not forget me just like he remember Sarah 🙌 and my faith is just as strong as it was 14 YEAR’S ago 😭 but I’m not Embarrassed to come and ask for prayers because when too or more comes in agreement HE HEARS US 🙌
Praying with you. Peace in Christ.
I pray Jesus will see fit to bless you with a child! HE can do it. I’ve had 3 beautiful children all grown & gone now. But, all 3 births were difficult for me as I was older in age than most women. After hearing this sermon, I realize I’m not done with heavy labour pains in my spiritual life. Jesus will see me through spiritually just as He did physically!!! ✝

5:55 “Before you call I will Answer…“ I can testify that this is true. Don’t give up! If it’s worth praying for, it’s worth fighting for! ❤
