    If you're going through a tough battle in your life, remember the times Christ stepped in and fought your battles. Never does the bible say one "Stress over it" "Worry about it" or "figure it out" But more than a million times, in clear print, over and over it says "Trust God." Don't let things of this world weigh you down because it's not even yours to carry. He will make a way, He will provide everything you need. Either emotionally, spiritually or financially. He will make a way when there is no way....

    Prayers are all we need, so Please pray for me. I keep faith in Jesus! Even though I’m struggling putting groceries in my refrigerator and paying bills. I have two beautiful children both are autistic, so they require a lot from me. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I’m in constant pain because of my lupus, and I already suffered a heart attack. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is STILL in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid all workers must be vaccinated against covid 19. I’m waitressing and I’m so THANKFUL to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. I get harassed and called names for simply asking for prayers, it makes me want to give up, but prayers work God hears ALL OF our prayers. It is JESUS that gives me strength to keep going. I have faith God will provide. He Thank you FATHER. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Please pray for me and my children.

    It’s Tuesday 12/6/22. I am getting it pastor. This is the 4th year of my Life with Jesus. 4th year of my sobriety. The 4th year i’ve been listening to your messages. They have helped me grow and have challenged me in many areas. Sometimes I think it’s so crazy you have a large church when these messages so obviously are for me. It is absolutely crazy how your message in my life events have synced up. Makes me feel like I’m on the Truman show. For real. Be encouraged pastor and know that you’re efforts and faithfulness are reaping a harvest

I'm constantly attacked but I remain faithful. But I want to walk in His strength not what I have left. I'm tired. I've been saved since sixteen and I will be 62 in March.

We humble ourselves before you and ask that you would forgive us for any sin that is an offense to your holiness, O Lord. Even though you inspire healthy fire, thank you for allowing us to come to you. Build your kingdom here and allow others to see your kingdom through me. May I serve you with awe and wonder. In Jesus' name, amen.

    Lord Jesus glorify yourself in my entombment.
    Send your Holy Spirit to remove the stone from the entrance to the place where my mind and my heart are imprisoned. Call out my name, rid me of the grave clothes that hinder me from walking in the victory and abundant life that you bought for me in the cross.
    Deliver me from the generational lies, fear and condemnation, that have intimidated me into accepting a false identity that is comfortable and convenient to those around me, and thinking that there is nothing for me beyond this limited mindset.
    Thank you for chasing me with your word, that has been taking the bandage from my eyes and brought me to this point where I can understand what has been hindering me.
    May you similarly open the eyes and hearts and deliver all my house and of those who love you.
    Make us all instruments of your peace.
    Holy is your name Lord. Amen.

    I like how God has you meet us where we are at and has you bring us to where we need to be in our thoughts. I’m so thankful the Holy Father speaks through everything the enemy sets us up to “fail” with. What you believe changes what point you start from. I like how we are given grace when we are in a situation that without the faith we’d be lost forever. I like the tools that we can wear to achieve that of which was ordered by our Holy Father. Thank you for all your assistance with this transition I’ve been going through. I’m learning how to operate under the supervision of God, and now I’m at the point with things that I have to apply the wisdom and thank God for his graceful response and overflowing love that pours into me and out to you. I am thankful the Lord is leading Israel out of Egypt and we now have access to the tools the truth that fulfills Gods promise . I pray we be learning more and more moment by moment by day,by night, in Jesus name Amen 🙏

    Victory doesn't always feels like fun either, at least in the moment. Jesus Victory is the time between D Day and the surrender of Germany. The cross and resurrection and the return of Christ. In between there is many battles. The joy comes in the knowing that the pain isn't forever, restoration and renewal and eternal life is in Jesus Christ.

    I was going to quit and completely stop everything this week after trying again. I have been doing more for God lately than in 20 plus years because the pain and the years of defeat had just gotten too much….BUT this sermon has brought me back thank you for your encouragement it has probably saved my life spiritually and also loosing more years to the enemy destroying my belief in that true victory can still take place even though it’s felt like it’s been decades. God bless you and your ministry and thank you God you get the full glory for your mercy and grace on my life.
