    I'm a 91 yr old who is in such stress that I really feel "I can stand it no longer". Family never contact me and I'm alone. Finding Pastor Farag was a God-send, I'm sure.

    I am convinced the Brothers and Sisters who have endured the (most) trials in this life and who continue to endure hardship are the most strong in the Lord! We absolutely grow through trials, no matter how painful they may be. I look around and see many being spiritually attacked by the enemy and I think, "wow, they must be pretty valuable to the Kingdom of God. Those people are pleasing the Lord. That's why satan is after them".
    This Too Shall Pass🙌 our life here is so temporary compared to eternity! Be strong Brethren❤

    Mahalo Pastor JD, This is exactly what I needed to hear as you know I am going through some tough trials that affects my whole family. Thank you for teaching the real, whole word of God. You know its true when what you preach is not exactly a Church builder. Think about it. How many people in this day and age want to here this truth? They only want a feel good, cherries and lollypops sermon. But this is truth. And thank you for the courage to read the Bible and to speak it. Its exactly what I need.
    To sick to make it today, (my lost) but hope to see you soon. As good as this is online. Its better in person when you can raise your hands and sing to God with praise and worship. Miss being there. Aloha, Bo

      I am 68 years old my life has been full of pain trials wrong-doing , cancer heart attacks unbelieving children etc. I love God and trust Him with the life He gave me. I pray several times a day for His Guidance in my life and His Will be done in it. I am happier than I have ever been for He is with me and nothing is better than that. He promises a place prepared for us who love Him, things beyond our imaginings, a world without strife and everlasting life. He died for us of course He loves us how can we doubt it? Forgive everyone so He can forgive you, God desires our company draw close to Him and He will draw close to you.

That is exactly what has happened to me. The trial I am going through is very painful, hard but I know in my spirit that God is with me and is allowing it for a reason. I have grown quit a bit from this trial and maybe it won’t ever end while I am here on earth only God know’s. I am looking up and praying for Jesus’ return regardless of trial or not I want to go home.

    • @SonshineLady7
      @SonshineLady7 4 роки тому

      @Chelsea Braze - Years ago I attended a charismatic mega-church that was just getting into the "name it and claim it; prosperity message." An elderly man in our fellowship group had cancer. His wife had the walls covered with 3x5 cards with scriptures on them and kept praise instrumental music on constantly. Shortly after he died I visited his wife and she told me that someone either in the fellowship group or church told her that she must have "made a negative confession." That is psychological/emotional abuse, imo.

    The toughest trial I've been through (so far!) has been the death of my husband, but God forewarned me. I know the power of being told in advance and that it is a great encouragement. When he died I knew I was meant to go through this and could accept his death immediately, which is very healing. I often used the phrase, "bring it on" after he died. I could not have got through such a loss without everything that the Lord has done for me and given me. I rejoice!

    Pastor JD, I do believe Jesus is at the door. There is so much evidence. Because I am a student of Bible Prophecy, the Lord has put it on my heart to share what I am learning with those I love and my Bible Study students. I cannot tell you the attack that has come upon my family. This only solidifies the Lord’s coming for me because Satan doesn’t want my family to come to Christ. He hit us where it hurts most, my momma. She is an amazing woman, the patriarch of our family and she loves the Lord. Can you please pray for her?? She has had a severe stroke and though she was completely independent prior, she is 87 years old, her age going against her. Only Jesus can restore her to her prior health. But His will be done. I trust in Him. Your prayers are appreciated! Her name is Bernadette. Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    • @SonshineLady7
      @SonshineLady7 4 роки тому +1

      @Adriana P - Almost the identical thing happened to my mother - she is 86 & with my 88 year old step-father still live in and care for their very large home. My mother never had serious health issues but she had a stroke a year ago and has had medium dementia as well as losing weight for the last year. We don't have a definite diagnosis yet but she has been almost bed-bound. My step-father is not a believer and recently I sense that the Lord told me this situation was for him...and since he's been caring for her, his heart has softened significantly. It is so hard to see my beautiful, independent mother so incapacitated and can relate to your pain. I will definitely pray for your mother, Bernadette. My mother's name is Ida (a believer). Edited to add - Satan's tactics are not original and, like you said, hitting our mothers hurts like everything!

    Good teaching !...I also like the faith of Precious promises to escape the trails we are faced with...If we were all taught to hold faith (keep speaking) made in God's image, the end from the beginning...and a good conscious..we will not make shipwreck...now when my children ask questions......it is easier to pray them (promises) first ...daily... All things work together for good to them who pray in the Spirit ...and Declare and put Him in remembrance...of His word....that we may be justified.. I think some people curse their lives ( untamed tongue) with their free will...I love learning.....Thanks....P.s. No weapon formed against us shall prosper, keep teaching.
