    Lord, thank you for helping me to see you through my trials, sorrows, tears, disappointments, troubles, when facing the mountains! I'm still gazing into the mirror of the Scriptures while I wait and you work, Lord ...because my love for you is more. I love you more, Lord. So be glorified, Lord in my waiting, my meditation, my prayers, my praise, my listening, my study, my testimony. It's all about you, Lord. Even when I'm shaken, Father - may I forever say and remain - all in! 🙏

    Thank you so much for the reminder of WHO I AM , JESUS
    He was there the whole time when my son suicide. In the middle of my prayers, asking for Mercy, asking for my son to look for Jesus, and I didn't know where he was, Jesus was there the whole time.
    I praise Jesus !

    In my waiting season 🙋🏼‍♀️ Just completed the most significant thing God has ever asked me to do & now, just a few weeks ago, I felt Him tell me, “Wait, have patience.” The struggle of the wait is SO real, but I trust Him wholeheartedly!! I’m enjoying re-establishing that close relationship with Him every morning as I read through His word. He’s preparing me in the wait. It isn't easy, but I know it will be 1000% worth it!!

    So encouraging. The Lord put this principle on my heart yesterday about when Peter was able to walk on water as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus. His message to me was to keep my focus on Him and not the chaos that is around me. I’m in the midst of some very difficult and negative circumstances, but I know that God is sovereign and in complete control of everything going on in my life. Trust Him. It’s already done. Regardless of what I see, I choose to take God at His word. God bless you and your family.

    Faith is the key!🗝☝🏽🔝☦️
    Pastor Jon Jon you know the emotions, but we walk by Faith and not by sight/feelings!
    Without Faith it is impossible to please The Lord and stand on His Word!!❤
    Christ did not bring me this far to leave me; nor did He teach me to swim to let me drown.
    He did not build a Home in me to move away.🏡
    He did not lift me up to let me down‼️🔝☝🏽☦️🤲🏽
    Isaiah 43
    Thank you Pastor Jon.
    Jesus is The Doctrine, Alive and Well‼️💯🥹☝🏽🙏🏽 I have grown and still being stretched, but He never leaves His own! Never‼️💯🙄

    Thank you, man of God, for another incredible lesson. You strengthen our legacy of faith with the oil from your cup. Father, help us not to work against your timing or be bitter because of it, but to work within it knowing that you are perfecting our faith & drawing us closer to you. I pray that no matter the circumstance or the level of grief, our eyes remain on you; the truth, the light, and the life. Man of God, you are the answer to my prayer as God prepares me for another grief journey. Thank you so much again for putting things in perspective. It's not about the nature of life, but the position of my lens. Many blessings upon you and your family. Please bring on the next one.

    @JonathanBlakeEvans Beautiful Saturday morning here in California. This message is encouraging and confirmation in the Holy Spirit as I have read some of the reference scriptures this week. I am in a waiting. Your message is confirming I am looking to Jesus, not the recent transition of my adult son. He in God's presence. I am looking at "I AM"

    Great points, we do get lost in our waiting seasons. We quote Scripture and expect instant responses or responses that line up with our wishes. Thank you for this reminder to look at God/Jesus even as we recite His Word. Your messages are blessing! Keep on on this journey brother.
