A timely word 6 years later. Shake Lord!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾
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!

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.🙏🏼🥰
I am growing everyday in the power of the Lord because of his sermons. Thank you Jesus for this man. Protect him and cover him in the blood of Jesus.
Amen 🙏
Amen brother
Amen

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

I've seen it rain in the front yard. And none in the ,Back yard lol. Work of God
Praise God!!! HE Is indeed a Miracle Wonder working God. Amen
If we don't move by his Word, he'll allow for life circumstances to move us out of our comfort zone.
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.
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. 🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏽
Funny how God works. The other day I was upset about my situation and was driving down the road screaming and crying. Here I am listening to this.
“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
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!!!!
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.
Jesus Christ have mercy on me in Jesus names Amen sincerely your daughter miss Y.A.Your truly
Tony has become one of my favorite preachers .
I purchased my study bible and have been reading it.
May the Lord continue to bless you Tony.

Purchased Mine…Wishing I had Purchased The Large Print 😇
He has changed my life ! Thank you🙏😇
This speaks to his obedience to Matthew 5:16; now we’re to be thankful and grateful to our LORD and pass it on by letting OUR LIFE reflect the goodness of God to others!! 2Timothy 2:15
Lord please keep your whole armor around me ❤
Dr. Evans has probably delivered one of the finest sermons of his lifetime. God Bless his boldness in preaching the truths of God.
Right ! GOD IS IN CONTROL

Dr.Evans message is always spot on even when it’s years ago or 6 minutes ago!!!
Who’s watching in 2022 and it’s like a sermon we’d be hearing today?
Pastor Evans blessings upon you & your family. I loss my two oldest children, my husband, my home, been displaced (homeless) three shelters. Was abandoned by my only child /son that's left. I lost my mom one day after mother's day 2023 she was eighty-nine but i left Texas & went to Ohio for both her birthday & mothers day.
BUT GOD! Holy Spirit led me & I'm finacally secure. My own apartment & able to get what I need my needs they are met. I'm on the comeback because from 2018 to 2022 I was planted in HIS word. But before that I was planted, as a child I was planted. Say Amen
God interrupted/shook up my life completely because I cannot fix it! Yes Lord!!!
Thank you Lord for all the help you provided to us. AMEN
I thank the Lord everyday since I was saved 11 days ago for introducing me to Pastor Dr. Tony Evans through his UA-cam sermon videos. I was lost for SO long bc I did not truly understand the Bible. I knew the basic "facts" about it, but it was always extremely difficult for me to decipher the Bible. Pastor Evans makes it very easy to understand the Bible bc he makes the situations in the Bible relatable to how those situations would be like today, in today's terminology. He is an AMAZING Pastor & as I previously said.. I thank God & Jesus often for giving me the precise series of events that he led me to that brought me to find Dr. Evans' UA-cam video sermons.
😇☦💒🛐👼✝️🙏
May the Lord God of heaven bless your soul.pastor
We do not look on the things that are seen, but on the things that are unseen!
2 Corinthians 4:18
Our eyes want to know, "What's going on!?"
We can see, but it is not all there is to be seen!
We must not refuse God speaking!
We are to take Him at His Word! He shakes things up!
The things that are shaken is acts of God.
We have a Kingdom that cannot be moved because of God's Grace.
God is a Consuming Fire!🔥
Hebrews 12:25-29

Also, I'm glad God allowed you to preach this word right before COVID 19 hit...thus the shaking of God.

This man has it down,, he has got the real message of God

Thank God for sending such a caring and brilliant man to deliver His everlasting truth 🙏🏾
This spoke to me. God allowed me to hear a 10 sec conversation between my husband and another woman which tore my world apart. God definitely protects his first fruits and even though very painful the Lord finds a way out and heals the broken hearted. I have learned to trust trust trust in the Lord and he will work out his plan. Thank you Mr Evans for another wonderful message that resonates so well with my soul. What a blessing you are to us all.

Your obedience will give you a long life on the soul that God promised to give your ancestors and their children, a land flowing with milk and honey.( Deutronomy 11: 9)
I will never hear thunder in the same way, among other things. Thank you.
Here we are in 2022! 2 years after Covid hit and people of God are still not listening. God has been trying to get our attention for so long but we continue to tune Him out and give our ear to what the world is saying. Still allowing political topics about racism and abortion divide us even further and yet we want Him to save us from yet another plague. His word does not change He is the same yesterday today and forever!
Any sermon he preach is great. His sermon is what kept me going when I was experiencing a strong hold front Satan.
I would love to listen to Gods world at this time I needed
I'm from Anne Arundel County, Maryland. I now live in Nebraska. I sure miss those blue crabs!
Thank You Father for sending your One and Only Son Jesus for us , Thank You Jesus for sending us out with just your Holy Name Jesus , by Our Father Holy Spirit through Jesus , In Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen Amen Thank You Jesus Amen
This truly blessed my spirit! No matter what, God is ALWAYS in control! He will speak even we don't want to listen. He will bring us back to Him! To God be the GLORY!!
Yes Amen!!
do you still follow God?
Yup praise Jesus for his word please pray for my and my arm that was broken in a car accident I got in Friday night please pray they compensate me and everything goes rite in court and they get everything that they are suppose to get for evidence so I can get the money I’m owed for my injury
Thank goodness for this timely word for us in 2022!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
God thank you for Holy ghost preaching
Praise God
One of the better word for this season LISTEN TO GOD SPEAK HE'S NOT PLAYING
This is good , he is speaking truth in what the bible says
Dr Evans how do you continue to be humble when the encouragement comes and you begin to have your own ideas and thinking that what you are planning is good not realizing that its not about our plans but God's purpose and plans for us. My question is how do you keep from feeling thinking it's all about you and what you can do..How do you stay in the position of servant. There are so many that believe and teach they are equal to God and manipulate others in believing that they are the way to the Father and not Christ that the only way you can hear from the Lord is from them. I have searched for the truth a long time and a Church who walks in obedience and follows Christ. Then I realized that Jesus gave me a helper to speak guide pray with me,so I have received His spirit willing cheerfully and lovingly. Now that I know all this how do I share it with others I know that Jesus want me to. May the humbleness of being a servant continue in you. Always in my prayers you and your family. Virginia Prophet
Dr Tony Evans I'm so Grateful God use you in great ways,that helps me see the Father through your teaching of Truth directly from The Bible.
My God it is the truth. Thank you Lord for Your Word
Speak pastor Tony Evans! Such an incredible Word! Nothing but the Truth. God if you gotta shake something up to get our attention then keep shaking !
Prayers for God's answers to the waywardness of my grandchildren's redirection. God fix what needs to be fixed in me; showing me continually what's Your next move in our lives and teaching as I learn. I've listened to you for years Dr Evans I probably heard this one but at this point in 2022 I needed this more. Thank you for allowing God to continually use you long after you are absent in your body and present with the Lord.
Thank you Dr. Tony Evans!!! May God keep using you to allow me to grow in His word.
You know them by their fruit, spiritual people know spiritual people. I listen to this man of God more, than I listen to my own pastor. For years. He is the real thing, he's about truth. God sent him to do what he is doing, his calling. Agape
The Lord uses Dr.Evans in a way that just reaches you so well. I was in church this past Sunday listening to our pastor and all I was thinking to myself was I can't wait to get home and listen to Dr. Evans because he teaches the deep things of God that I receive so well and helps give me great understanding. All glory to God, and thank You Father for your servant Dr. Evans.
I heard that. A preacher, a teacher and a great speaker and definitely a vessel of God.
