So good! Just recently made it through an 8-9 month deep pruning season and while it was so excruciating, after the fact I have never been better! Thank You, Lord, for burning up all that is not of You with Your holy, consuming fire and lopping off all that is not of You. It hurts so much, but in the end makes us more like Jesus! Thank You, Lord! And He never leaves us nor forsakes us through it all! There is no one like Him! 🥰🫶🙌🏻🔥
Praise Jesus ❤ He started my pruning season a few months ago when I asked Him to heal me at whatever cost. Open heart surgery, no anesthesia. Do what you need to Lord. Everything on point here thank you Preston.
Wow! God chose me to prune. How incredible is that? He put me in seriously deep hiding and exposed every single decayed or worthless branch. It was brutal. I mean brutal. Anything that remains serves His perfect purpose.. I'm full of wonder now. Thank you. 🙏💞
Thank you my brother for be so transparent. Now I know I’m not alone. You brought so much confirmation in your sharing ❤ God is an awesome friend to me as well may he continue to bless you & yours till we meet altogether with him in the heavenly’s 🙌🏼🙏🏻❤️
Well Preston this one was a deep cut I'm not gonna lie I just came out of a season of Pruning And it does not feel good and it sucks but I know there's blessing in it and you gave me a better perspective of it so thank you for that so the next time that I face more pruning again in the future I will think about what I learned from you and apply that to my experiences of pruning in the future it is just powerful altogether though it was just very deep for me too but pruning is not fun though i'm not gonna lie man it hurts I'll be praying for anybody and all those who Are going through a season of pruning right now even you Prezz I got you bro Love you man thank you so much
What a word! Always in awe at how the Lord shines a light on all He is teaching us through the messages of believers fully submitted to Him. Thank you for such an impactful episode filled with wisdom for those in a season of discomfort and confusion. May the Lord continue to strengthen and uphold you with His righteous hand in your pruning season! 🤍
Thank you for this, Preston. Going through a season of pruning, qnd was filled with questions, but felt the Lord lead me here today. Have been eating up your podcasts on UA-cam and Spotify. Thank you for being a blessing.
When God decides to answer your questions from the last 4 days....all wrapped up in a Preston message!! Felt like pre-k through college on what God's been doing in my life for the past 11 months!! 🥺🥹 Thank you for obeying Father God!! So that His children can hear Him more clearly!! God Bless you & your family & i hope you're feeling better from that cough 💙
Im not bragging but God prunes me for sure! Looking back on my life I was always being pruned and not knowing what it was! I thought I was going crazy!
In so many words some do pray for pruning. So people pray, less of me and more of you God. Take away what's not like you God and strengthen me and for that to take place you would have to be pruned!
I’ve just come in from the garden n pruned the tomatoes back … listening to your message Preston I don’t even know how to tell you how powerful this is … thank you. Ps I binge watch your videos. You and Tim Ross … I have a playlist!!! Thank you for taking the time to share this inspiring wisdom. Really! Really!
Hallelujah, yes, Hallelujah, thank you so much. I'm a new beginner, but my mustard seed is mighty I thank you because you have revealed to me so much that I have been searching for,for so long It has gave me a lot of clarity and understanging thank you king.Jesus
It’s weird ( as in supernatural) how I had been really praying about dealing with some heavy things I have been weighed down by from the past, that are impeding my focus on the present and what I can do to be more present in my life and as a child of the God of the universe, I even spoke to a counselor that I didn’t really connect with. But then I stumbled across your videos and it’s been like sitting down with someone speaking directly into my situation.I forget sometimes that everything God does is because he loves me. Thanks for these messages Preston ❤
So I watch this, pray some really bold prayers, and literally the very next day the Lord starts pruning and removing things I love and wouldn’t have said I was ready to move on from. Not bad things, but good things are taking up precious resources of time and energy from the real tasks he has for me in this season 😅 praise him it was nearly painless. he did it with so much clarity and peace and I was able to leave the meeting and say “ Lord, I didn’t know that’s what you were going to say, but it is well with my soul.” And be truly excited and settled about what he wants from me right now… FOCUS 🧘🏻♀️ he’s still got more healing to do in me in this preparation season and it’s time to get rooted
My pruning started a year ago and, for the life of me... I wasn't sure what was happening fully. About 6 months in, I got the picture. But... It kept getting deeper and harder until my surrender came last week and this Video showed up today. NOW, I get it @100%. Once you know the who and the why, the Comforter comes in and you let Him instead of pushing Him away. He does what all great Nurse do, shares the reality of the process and makes your bed more Comfortable. Plus, I'm able to walk without a cane for the first time in 9 years and NO pain. He healed a series of wounds that caused that pain and now it's gone. So, pain isn't new to me, but it is a different kind of suffering. Spiritual suffering is worth the pain removal. Thank you, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit for the excellent pruning and fruit bearing Glory You All Deserve. Fear Not, for IAm with you. What a Promise ! Thank you for obeying, Preston. A Fruit Bearing Message. See ? hahahaha. Already at Work in You.
Whoa! 😳 Ouch! 😣 Pruning hurts 😢 and sometimes I despise it. Your statement “Because the One they love has asked them to keep going and promised to go with them.” hit me directly in my heart. 💘💔 It is so hard to keep going. I feel like quitting so much of the time. I keep asking (no, maybe I’m begging) Him to come for me. But I am still here so I have to keep going and clinging to Him. ❤️🩹😔 Thank you for all that you said and shared in this episode. Lots to think about and pray about. Probably will be on repeat for a while. 😆🥹
Omggg so good! I needed to hear this 🙌🏻 the part about thinking about quitting something you never thought you’d quit 🥹 and little fires all over. I got a revelation this week and I know it was the reason for many of the fires in my past few months and he was pruning me, pushing something out that was wayyy deep and it was a lie he wanted to rectify. To separate the sin from the person it was attached to and then immediately after, like a reward gave me a healthy detachment relationally. It was so freeing. Glory to God
This is video is a perfect timing for me and in my walk with the Lord especially right now is my spiritual healing era!! Thank u Preston for this video about pruning and I received everything that u just said in this. God has perfect timing all the time 🔥🔥🔥🥹🥹🥹🙏🙏
I cannot even express how much this meant to me. I’m currently in the hardest season I’ve ever been in and it’s because God is pruning me for the first time. I felt like I was going crazy for the last 2 months. I didn’t understand why I was feeling these things and I knew I was hearing from God but it wasn’t making sense. Then the healing began of stuff I’ve spent 20 years stuffing down.Going to my bff house Sunday to fall apart in complete honesty. So grateful for a God that sees I am ready and for people that surround me that are a safe and loving environment. Thank you Preston for walking me through this. It is such an honor to be here with God right now. He is my hiding place right now. ❤
Not Preston saying Colossians 1:9-10 is a pruning verse. I’ve been praying that since last year, meaning I brought the pruning on myself! When he mentioned that God answers some prayers quickly, this was an instant one given my prolonged season. Now I know!
Thanks so much for this Preston. Literally asked God to speak to me about 5 mins before you popped on my feed. These prunning period (years) has been challenging. I wouldn't resist the prunning, I just pray I am learning all God wants me to learn and become who He wants me to be. Thanks again. I plan to rewatch.
I`m going to go and cry further... now that I know a little of what is happening, Its better, but pain is there... how I hope there will be more worth than just my never ending pain. Spiritual progress is there, but why do I need more? How cant I need nothing other than just be more like Jesus? why is that not enough for me? But thank you, even I know that your pain bring blessing to us, I know your pain is not easier, but thank God for you for shareing what you recieve from God. just on time for me...
I feel like when you're either on the operating table and directly after, scripture becomes the prescription for the antibiotics and our execution of what it says becomes the action of taking the necessary antibiotics to keep the infection of the enemy away once we've been cut on.
Many people say when they are going through something they don’t want to go through…”I never thought I’d be here”…they don’t like WHERE God has them. Focusing on the “what” instead, means understanding and focusing on WHAT God is doing IN you for His purposes.
Whoa whoa whoa though, are there maybe different levels of pruning? I know there are super intense ones where no else can help you out or comfort you, only God. I would like to say though I that I experience pruning on the daily. Haha😅
If you mean is He “firm” or “harsh” because we don’t treat Him as holy? I would say to an extent, yes, but moreso no. So many Scriptures come to mind that He doesn’t treat us as we deserve…He is faithful even when we are unfaithful, etc.
When you said you may be pruned because of idols, I got convicted right there. My point of view on money the last couple months has been off, and I can feel the effects in my wallet
PLEASE explain to me how God is pruning through the loss of a marriage (divorce). Doesn't God hate divorce?????? Why would he allow divorce for his pruning pleasure????? 🤨😒
He isn’t nor did He will it to be or bring it to be. I mention that in the episode. BUT Even in the midst of life’s most difficult curveballs, God is present and faithful and comforting and moving pieces we can’t see and yes, pruning some things to make room for what He wants to do in, through, and for you next. I am so sorry you’re having to navigate the pain of divorce, Becky.
Becky, thank you for your transparency and vulnerability. I think Pres may not be able to speak to you from the place I can. My divorce rocked my existence, I hated it, hated the shame, hated the whispers, hated that it meant breaking up my family (raising children in separate homes) and I hated myself. My parents were married 25 yrs before my father was called Home. I watched them bury children, parents, rich, poor, sickness, health and all, I just knew I would only ever be married once. My marriage was unhealthy, for me or my exwife. I fought to convince myself and her that we could and I do believe had our yokeage been equal and commitment been as solid as the foundation, we could have made it work. But in the sickness of our marriage I made it an idol, the image meant more than my wife, and God. I was determined to force us to thing this thing out. Marriage is an agreement, then it’s a commitment to covenant where God and His identity take root in the man and woman and place themselves under him to close the cord. I submit, even though it aches, He would have you be full of His love than full on a broken marriage. He doesn’t call us to be without joy in matrimony this is why He hates divorce however He still loves you. He still calls you daughter and He would have you be with His Son per perpetuity than an unequal bondage. I do not know the depths of your marriage however if God’s pruning of your marriage is a reflection of commitment, He knows it’s better to be fully submitted to the Tree of life than to wither from an unhealthy connection. I’ll pray God keeps your heart and mind and in Him you find even more of His Fruit.
Watch the 40 minute mark on my sister! The Lord is faithful. He will complete what He started in you and will use your pain for His glory and greater purpose because you are his kid.
@@kevinakin03 oh no, I was commiserating with Sister Becky. I had to come to the knowledge of pruning in my divorce and it wasn’t until I was on the other side, well removed from my hardened heart and redeemed could I see that there was no malice in my pain, only deliverance and His glory.
@@chefgrigs I am so sorry. That was my error. I meant to say that to Becky. Your response was absolutely incredible and unbelievably eloquent. Pure example of Revelation 12:11. The Lord’s blessings to you and to Becky.
Its ambiguous enough lol, probably better than masochists lol. I've sometimes thought of myself that way, only for God I guess... But that can insinuate God is a sadist and thats so wrong on so many levels.

Thank you so much for this. It’s so comforting knowing I’m not alone in this process 🙏🏼🕊️🙌🏼
Uncle Preston this was amazing..the call to Holiness is real..the little foxes
We never get sick of it. Keep repeating the scriptures cause we might didn't receive it last time ❤
Not Preston saying Colossians 1:9-10 is a pruning verse. I’ve been praying that since last year, meaning I brought the pruning on myself! When he mentioned that God answers some prayers quickly, this was an instant one given my prolonged season. Now I know!
Its not punishment... its process❤

I NEEDED THIS. Thank you for your obedience and stewardship.
I can relate to this so much. Pruning sucks but it’s so worth it!
Preston I love you and I love this message. I definitely am going through a pruning period and you have confirmed that in this message.
I`m going to go and cry further... now that I know a little of what is happening, Its better, but pain is there... how I hope there will be more worth than just my never ending pain.

This hit hard.
Thank you so much, Pastor Pres! God bless you!
Thank you so much, for this Preston!!!! Thanks for being so willing to hear the Holy Spirit
❤
It says ”I am the vine, you are the branches” in verse 5.
First time I see negative comments so early. Congrats on the new milestone hahaha
Love you guys, God bless you, I'll finish this tomorrow.
Great wisdom, thank you!

Please reply Preston, what do you mean the where than the why??
Many people say when they are going through something they don’t want to go through…”I never thought I’d be here”…they don’t like WHERE God has them.
Focusing on the “what” instead, means understanding and focusing on WHAT God is doing IN you for His purposes.
How do you know if it's pruning or you're being told to move on?
I lost my son he was murdered, my home, job, money, car, food.
Less to worry about at the moment
Whew 😰
Whoa whoa whoa though, are there maybe different levels of pruning? I know there are super intense ones where no else can help you out or comfort you, only God. I would like to say though I that I experience pruning on the daily. Haha😅
How come pruning process hurts even worse😊
Sometimes does God talk to us the way he does because of how we talk to him
If you mean is He “firm” or “harsh” because we don’t treat Him as holy? I would say to an extent, yes, but moreso no. So many Scriptures come to mind that He doesn’t treat us as we deserve…He is faithful even when we are unfaithful, etc.

He is getting rid of my junk in my trunk. Prune me, i don't like it and i can't live without it
PLEASE explain to me how God is pruning through the loss of a marriage (divorce). Doesn't God hate divorce?????? Why would he allow divorce for his pruning pleasure????? 🤨😒
