I hesitated watching this message because it was delivered 5 years ago. I nevertheless kept listening and I agree even if it is painful to acknowledge. I was reading Ps 27 and I know God is calling me to seek His face more than to intercede for my nation South Africa

Jesus Christ have mercy on me in Jesus names Amen sincerely your daughter miss Y.A.Your truly
Recently lost my wife and this makes me feel so much better at where she was and where our children are now only 8 months down the road. God will take away and we trust Him, as heartbreaking as it is. 🙏🏼
Sorry for your our loss hope you are well.
Prayers
Praying your circumstances stay at a level of comfort and peace with your family’s loss.
My heart is with you, as is the Father’s, thankfully and most gratefully He is always close to the broken hearted. ❤❤❤
My sincere condolences little Lord continue blessing you.
In the middle of this sermon, God spoke to me. I’ve been having a really hard time mentally today while at work thinking about my divorce (it’s unwanted on my end – my husband cheated and chose another woman over me and then filed for divorce). I was thinking today about God answering prayers and God speaking, so I turned on this sermon, but in the middle of it I got distracted with dark thoughts about how if I am actively sinning, if I KNOW I am sinning, if I am consciously choosing my will over God’s Will, then how can God love me??? It’s a lie that the devil has perpetrated in my life over and over again. I had slipped into that mindset. Then my coworker passed my desk, which is located close to the exit. I heard him leave. I heard the door close. A few seconds later, he opened the door again, came over and stopped at my desk. His eyes were misty. I was caught off-guard and asked him what was up. He said, in a low voice so no one else could hear, “I wanted to let you know that me and my family have been praying fervently for you and your situation. I don’t know details, but I know how hard it is and I want you to know that you are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are wrapped in prayer and love.” His voice shook as he said it. I stared at him, bewildered, and sincerely thanked him for his words because I had been having such a hard day. Then he turned back around and left, and I burst into tears.
Because the reality of what had just happened sank in: my coworker had initially passed my desk. He was prepared to go home for the day. When he got outside, God told him to turn around and come back and speak to me. This wasn’t just an “on your way out, could you say something?” request. He physically left and then came back with the sole purpose of telling me that… which means two things: 1. my coworker was open and willing to listen to God’s voice, and 2. Jesus was thinking of me at the EXACT moment where I was trying to convince myself that He wasn’t. He used my coworker to IMMEDIATELY tell me that everything I had just been thinking was wrong, and that He still loves me.
Y’all, when I made that connection, I could not stop crying. Our God is so good that even as we are convincing ourselves that He’s not, He’s right there telling us that we’re wrong, that He loves us, that we are His precious ones, that we are not forgotten and we are not alone.
When God speaks, please listen to Him. Please be open to hearing His voice. Thanks for reading this and God bless.
I Pray that you’re in a better place. God Bless You.🙏🏾❤️
Beautiful!!! And you’re right. God bless you hon…😊
Powerful, I hollered with joy! The work of God! Amazing!
Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your testimony. I’m sure this has blessed others like it blessed me. I’m praying for you and extending healing energy your way. I was led to this sermon for similar reasons and I’m hopeful that you’re in a better place emotionally now. Be encouraged that God hasn’t forgotten about you. His will shall be done, hang in there!

“Nothing happens that God didn’t cause or allow”, I felt that
I’m trying to understand what this means in the event of a car crash killing an entire family. Did God cause or allow?
@@itsgabbieagain first and foremost, praise be to God and Jesus Christ his son who died for us so that our sins may be forgiven. In the eyesight of things, we don’t know nor understand the way God operates, but one thing we do know and trust is all things work for the good of those who trust him (Romans 8.28). With your question, it could be both. God could cause it to happen because of something in the grand scheme of things that we may not even know about, or allow it due to certain conditions that have or have not been met. For instance, perhaps there was an involvement of repeated sin before that scenario. In summation, God expects us to trust him and to rejoice in all things (1 Thessalonians 5.16-18) for that is his will for us. Even in the good or bad, he wants us to rejoice and praise him. Now I know that is difficult and doesn’t sound practical, but with Christ Jesus, all things are possible.
@@timothyjames731 That’s deep
If we don’t move by his Word, he’ll allow for life circumstances to move us out of our comfort zone.
God interrupted/shook up my life completely because I cannot fix it! Yes Lord!!!
God interrupted “my regular programming” and I heard Him say “choose this day whom you will serve??!!” I was addicted to drugs and alcohol for 25+ years!!!! I didn’t hear His warnings, so He “shook” things up!!! I AM FREE because I chose Him!!!!
Who else is watching in 2023?❤

Right now
Some time ago, I lost my way. I was listening to the devil telling me I don’t measure up and I allowed myself to believe it. I began to turn to the world and not to God. I had gotten out of the habit of daily prayer. God was speaking to me but I wasn’t listening. I was a lost lamb in the dark and the wolves were circling. Several months ago, I had a serious fall at work which resulted in surgery and painful therapy. I found myself sitting home without much to do. Several weeks ago, I was surfing the web and found Dr. Evans. I began to watch his sermons every day, except now, I was listening and hearing. I now start my mornings listening to Dr. Evans followed by prayer and reading scripture. Slowly, the darkness was replaced by the light of Jesus and the wolves are no longer circling. I saw this sermon today and realized that God used my injury to bring me back into the fold. He used it to get my attention when I wasn’t listening or hearing. He shook my world. It’s important we stay focused on God. The devil really is like a hungry lion on the prowl. Always looking to strike and devour us when we are at our weakest. Like a snake slithering in tall grass hiding and ready to strike. We must be strong in the Lord. We have to keep ourselves centered with daily prayer and by following the teachings of our savior, Jesus Christ. May our heavenly father bless Dr. Tony Evans and may he continue to reach more and more people.
A timely word 6 years later. Shake Lord!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾
Good Morning, it’s February 25th, 2024, and this message stands for right now in 2024 as it did when first given. Keep focusing on God. HE is our light leading us thru the darkness.🙏🏼🥰
GOD IS CORRECTING ME FROM LIVING WITHOUT GOD TO CONSIDERING HIM IN EVERYTHING I DO!!!!
It’s 2024, & this word is still relevant! It speaks volumes to everything that’s currently going on in the world. God is not only speaking, but he’s literally yelling at this point. God bless Pastor Tony Evans for saying everything that needed to be addressed. 🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏽
Dr.Evans message is always spot on even when it’s years ago or 6 minutes ago!!!
