      My Lord Jesus Christ. I come before you Dear father lifting my sister in Christ Julier Ann up to you. She needs your strength to keep moving forward. I pray Romans 8:28 into her life As you cause All things to work for good for those who love you and are called according to your purpose for them. You are the creator of the heavens and the earth and the creator of us. I pray Jeremiah 29:11 into her life. It is written in your word The Lord says: For I know the plans for you, they are good and not for disaster. But to give you a future and a hope. She is yours Lord and you are good, amen

    This sermon was so comforting for me. I’m a single mother and I was ready to give up …. so weary of my 28 son, David that’s addicted to crystal meth and his behaviour, rude antics, destruction of things in house just too much. I feel so weary at times and can hardly pray for God to set him free in Jesus name. I need a breakthrough for him. I wish there was a church with a great pastor like You . If there is Lord God lead me to the right church and prayers who can pray for us in Jesus name. Amen 🙏

    Driving home from a trip with my Husband and listening to this amazing Sermon. Both my Husband and I prayed without ceasing for a spouse. Let me tell you, I labored, he labored literally on our faces crying out to God to allow us a Spouse living for the Lord. And let me tell you,Our Prayers were heard our tears counted. We know 100% God put us together. We are still praying and living for the Lord. All praise, honor and Glory be God’s.

I’m fighting against fret and despair. I’m no longer a child of God, but a beggar…hoping He will condescend to me and grant my petition soon. Thanks for sharing your testimony.

      OUR ALMIGHTY FATHER YAHUAH AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON YAHUSHUA
      Whoever has ears to hear let them hear.
      The churches have changed the name of Our Almighty Father Yahuah 7000 times in the Bible to either God or The Lord. The name God only originated in the 6th century. The word lord in the English language in a religious context occurred in 673AD and 735AD.
      This means it is not possible for our Almighty Father to call Himself God or The Lord and He didn’t. Also, the name Yahweh has been used which is not possible as the letter W was never used in the Hebrew language. His name is Yahuah.
      Exodus 23:13 And all that I have said to you take heed and make No mention of the name of other mighty ones let it not be heard from your mouth. (God, The Lord and Jesus Christ).
      Isaiah 42:8 I am Yahuah (not The Lord this is a title) that is my name I will not yield my glory to another, or any praise to idols.
      Revelation 14:1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb (Yahushua) standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 having His Father’s Name written upon their foreheads.( written on their foreheads means that Yahuah is their foremost thought).
      Do you really think that God or The Lord (and which name is it) would be written on their foreheads….Yahuah Yes but not God or The Lord.
      Yahuah is a name above all other names, God or The Lord are not as these are titles given to many people and idols.
      Check the Encyclopedia Britannica edition 11 for their meanings.
      The names God, The Lord and Jesus are all pagan names or titles given that the churches have used to deceive you. If you are listening and more so acknowledging these names you are blinded from the true word.
      The name of Yahuah’s only begotten son our savior is Yahushua, and His name has been changed over 973 times in the Bible by again the churches to Jesus a name that never existed 2000 years ago and never part of the Hebrew language.
      Acts 17:30-31 In the past Yahuah overlooked such ignorance but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 17:31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.
      Acts 4:10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel. It is by the name of Yahushua HaMashiach of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom Yahuah raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 4:11 Yahushua is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under the heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
      Philippians 2:9-10 Therefore Yahuah exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name. 2:10 that at the name Yahushua every knee should bow, in the heaven and on the earth and under the earth. 2:11 and every tongue should confess that Yahushua HaMashiach is Master to the esteem of Yahuah His Father.
      The names Jesus or Lord are not above all other names these are pagan names used by the churches, preachers, pastors and others they are deceiving you and the louder they shout these names they feel more righteous and the greater the stronghold over your mind.
      If you are to be a true believer do the research and pray to Yahuah through Yahushua HaMashiach for insight, knowledge, understanding and wisdom and be shown the right way of the word. I found it easy to use their correct names when I heard their correct names when reading the Bible and praying.
      The mother Mary and the saints are in the grave and the rosary they cannot answer your prayers the Bible tells you this, not the Roman Catholic Catechism . Most dead believers are in the grave asleep waiting for the second coming of Yahushua there are some exceptions Mosses and Elijah according to the Bible and the Bible never says that Mary is in heaven.

      Yahushua said I come in my Fathers name, Yahushua is in the name Yahuah, the name Jesus or Lord is not in the name Yahuah, and God or The Lord is not in the name Jesus. Can you see this?
      How can Yahuah and Yahushua both be given the same title Lord they are different people one is our Almighty Father Yahuah and other His only begotten son Yahushua.

    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!

    I’m watching this in 2024!
    Last night, I went t to church and couldn’t even go in. I had been at work all day and when I got in my car to leave, I just started to sob.
    I’ve been SO tired emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
    I have been fighting a lot of different things and just sat outside in the church parking lot and cried.
    My friends in my women’s Bible study class know I’m dealing with some deep, ongoing “heart”/emotional wounds. Anyway, I stayed in my car but my friends prayed for me.
    When I went to bed that night, I turned on YouTube as I always do, to listen to sleep sounds or Abide etc.
    I woke up to the sound of d of this sermon!
    Everything he says is EXACTLY what I am dealing with. There is no way I came upon this by chance. This was GOD.
    I even took a screenshot of this while I was asleep, so I could be sure to listen to it today. amazing.
    GOD BLESS you. ❤️❤️❤️
    So thankful for this.
