At one point I had fallen away.. I felt distant and afraid. I prayed and cried out to him to forgive me and change me. I was outside under our tree to read his word and prayed for guidance with his word.. as I was going to the New Testament the wind blew and flipped the pages all the way to the Old-testament it landed on Joshua 1:9 which was marked since the first time I surrendered to Christ. I’m sure you all know that verse. Later that day after reading his word I got ready and was driving to work.. I continued calling out to GOD to answer me and forgive me! I turned the radio on and like clock work Charles Stanley comes on and resides Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous for Jehovah is with you wherever you go. I broke down crying cause I knew that was no coincidence he had answered me. GOD is merciful and faithful. Nothing can take us away from his hands. Confess and ask for forgiveness. He know we’re not perfect. I love you Abba Father!

Amen
The Apostle Paul went through many similar challenges. God is faithful, even if other believers seem very unfaithful. Here was Paul's encouragement (2 Corinthians 1:8-9)- "We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead."
In Touch Ministries I love this channel. So blessed with GOD and thanks for this message.

Lord I pray that you continue giving me the strength to over come my depression, anxiety, and fear. I know Jesus, I love Jesus. I know I’m forgiven, and I’m pleading the blood of Jesus over my life right now. I humbly repent and I thank you God for your son, Jesus. The prince of peace. God bless you all brothers and sisters.
Forgive me God and show me the right way to go and grow in Your Love and Peace in Your Word
This helped me as well.. ua-cam.com/video/B8raDGIbbWk/v-deo.html
It's good you realize there is a disconnect.
God never moved, you did. Now that this bothers you BELIEVE !. Believe in the ability of the Holy Spirit to realign you to Him self. Seek the Lord even though it feels empty and one sided. You have repentance in your heart and God is faithful and just to forgive and restore you to a right relationship back to Himself. May richly bless you with His presence my beloved.
Thank you. :)!!!!! This comment helped me the most.
earl williams I drifted and now I was getting bad thoughts help!

Praise God!!! Sometimes i feel so unworthy to repent and it just makes me sad. But everytime I do call on the name of Jesus and talk to God like I'm his daughter because I am everytime I do He shows up and always comforts me. I need prayer please. Thank you and God Bless you! Also when my mom was here on earth i remember her watch you on tv Mr. Stanley. Thanks and God Bless🙏🙏🙏
Amie, you're not alone!
Amie Swisher I can definitely relate!!! God bless you sister.
Praying for you, stay strong. Jesus is coming soon and we need not to fear for He is taking His children back😊
One of my problems is the the feeling that I have to be perfect. I know I am being decieved
thank u Dr.Stanley, i feel better now...
Amen Feelings "Pass".
One of the Most important truths I've gained over the years is, "I will not feel this way for for Ever".
Good or Bad
(hope that made sense)
MonkArt
“Feelings are an untrustworthy gage”..Great statement
I was dosing off at the beginning because of the doubts but when he put the email up it had my name.. and how I was feeling exactly.. God is good Always. God bless :')
This man always seems to always have the words I need too hear. God bless you Dr Stanley.
Thank you for the reminder! After many years of "finding" God's wrath, I received a touch of grace, I believe, that showed me the Love of the Father! If He did it for me, a sinner, he will do it for you! God bless you!
Read Daughter of Gods comment on here. I hope you're doing well..
Thank you, this helped me, I had a problem with my head, I've been an overthinker, it has a little voice in it, satan uses my mind like a playground, yesterday, I have a question and the little voice(not mine) started blaspheming God and I think the Holy Spirit too, I am so scared, so so scared, I cried so hard and pleaded God for forgiveness, my mind says that I said all those things to Him and then that I should end myself since it's over, and no I will never kill myself, never ever, I shared it on my 2 closest friends and my sister and they start comforting me and it made me better, but I'm still scared, I pray to God again, and I think my mind says or I just feel that God is angry with me and is done with me, I am so scared, next morning, I can't feel God and I think I'm numb, cause I can't feel anything, and i started to overthink again the what ifs, it's like 50.50, I can't feel my love for God, the sincerity, feelings all completely gone, I'm scared, and now I'm still scared, very very scared, I'm scared that I might overthink and it will happened again, I can't seem to control my mind, it's hard, I've been praying for God about it, what's worst is that I have an ocd intrusive thoughts, and it disturbs me always, I have to command my mind to stop, pls pray for me to overcome this pls, I am still scared
May God be with us
Oh My Goodness My Little Friend I Have Been Feeling The SAME Way , I was Engaging in a sinful act (Lustful) and it was like I heard a voice say don’t do it and with the temptation I did it and the voice was saying that Jesus Would Walk Away From me And since then It Seems like I can’t feel the presence of god like I used to and it is the number one most scary thing I have EVER Experienced I even Quit my job over it I just want Jesus Back in My Life NOTHING ELSE MATTERS To Me But That , Please Please Please if You Have Found Your Way Back To Him Can You Write Me Back And Let Me Know God Bless You. Maybe We Can Help Each Other Find Our Way. I Am Really Counting On Hearing Back From You Thank You For Reading This
@Ys-ww8xe I pray that God touches your heart and your mind with His unending mercy, forgiveness, peace that surpasses ALL understanding, Amazing Grace and truth! I am suffering from unwanted, intrusive, horrifying thoughts against my will directed towards God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit almost every 5 seconds of every day for the last 6 months! You are NOT alone! God will NEVER abandon you, nor leave you nor forsake you. He is a loving, compassionate God, who knows that they are not your thoughts and that they don't belong to you. You are not your thoughts and God already knows your repentant heart, and knows everything about you! It is okay that you are not okay! Once we truly know who the Lord is, He will take away our trials or teach us to make us more spiritually stronger in Him. Even if you don't feel like he's there, or if you don't feel Him and He seems distant... He is there! Don't EVER feel afraid, 'For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of Power, and of love, and of a sound mind!' Those thoughts are from the enemy, not from you, and don't give him a foothold in your mind because he is a liar, an accuser, A coward, a thief, a loser and there is NO truth in him!!!! Stay courageous and strong in our Lord, for He is ALWAYS with you!!!!!!! May God heal, restore, deliver you and protect you at ALL times and always put on The full Armour of God, in the MIGHTY Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen🙏👑🕇🔥🕊🕊💪❤❤
P.s. Try to memorize Psalms 23 and 91 in The Bible.... they are very powerful! God bless you and I pray and hope that you have gotten better.❤
More like my sins have disconnected me from the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I now see why the Trinity HATES sin. It destroys lives! May Jesus help me to hate sin as much as he hates sin!
Greek Salad how are you now?
Great video! I was taught in a Christian biblical counseling course that God's forgiveness must be received by faith. When you pray and ask God for His forgiveness, you must ACT as if you're already forgiven!!! You're forgiven based on the Word of God and the shed blood of Jesus Christ! Pray and ask God to help you to believe!!! :) Feelings don't mean a thing. You can apply this same logic to healing as well. You're healed based on the Word of God and the finished works of Jesus Christ. The symptoms don't mean a thing. You just have to claim your healing regardless of how you feel!!! So thankful to Dr. Stanley for this message reminder!!! ❤🙏🙌☺
Healing is not guaranteed in the bible
"confession, repentance & surrender" 🤍
I've been struggling with the same struggle aswell. There's nothing I can say. You're response moved me to tears. For a long time I feel guilty. Very guilty. This made me ashamed of myself. Like you said, It made me feel disconnect to God. Thank you for this wonderful video Dr. Stanley 💛
This video was posted 6 years ago and it’s still so important. I’m in a rough spot now and hearing “by Faith accept God’s forgiveness, not on the basis you will never sin again.” Has brought clarity and hope to my situation. Thank you.
I’ve strayed away from God I love him an I want him back
I'm finding it hard to trust God again. I have been blinded by my ambitions and anything else. I need Him. I need Him.
God is the Shepherd who protects us and saves from danger.... when we go astray he shall search for even one lost sheep to pull back, love, care and tend to that lamb and He rejoices when He brings back his sheep to the flock. May God bring back all his people on earth who have strayed away due to malpractices and bad habits...No one is perfect. There's always a chance to correct oneself and restart a new life to bring glory to GOD!!
Thank you so much for this message! It helped me get out of my own prison and reconnect to the Lord ❤
I needed to hear this ♡♡♡
God please help me to come off ths medicine and get stronger thru your Word fix my house sell it and travel i cannot stay here I need Thy Strength to come off this suboxone please God take control of my mind and lead me and my heart in the right way to go I need Your wonderful hand to heal my broken heart and show me where to go I cannot stay here in sin and let her way engulf me and just want to sell my home and move on with my life following where you lead me I will go and let Jesus control my soul in every step I take I take in the Name of Jesus Christ my Savior the Cross before me and the world behind me
Read Daughter of Gods comment. It's heart change also and drugs are a slave master, actually demonic. The bible says "these kind (of spirits)only come out through fasting and praying"
I FEEL that too. I understand that He gave his life for me 2000 years ago, but I don't feel love from Him NOW. a relationship is more than 2000 years ago. It's a need for a friend. Something you feel. When I pray, it's like talking to a wall and I FEEL alone. I tell Him that, but he says nothing.
Thank you Brother Dr Charles Stanley for this message. And Thank you God Almighty Jesus Christ Holy Spirit forever and always loving me unconditionally Amen and Amen Hallelujah 💝😇🌹🥀💖
Been there. Pray and Fast. God says return unto me and I will return unto you
Amen
I need to return to God
Thank you Charles Stanley! This was right on time for me right now in my life. Wow!! I am always in deep awe when GOD Almighty answers questions on my heart. I will forever be amazed at HIS indescribable force of pure love.
Blessings.
Thank you. I need this reminder today. No matter how many times, encouragement never fails. May God bless you.
I read your page interesting may the creator bless you.
I’m struggling same thing sometimes in my life.
Thanks Dr. Stanley. Emotions can be deceptive sometimes
I think many people, especially I, needed to hear this today!! Thank you 🙏🙌
Thank you for your message
Please pray for my husband's and son's salvation. Help me to reconcile my marriage through your faithful and powerful prayer in Jesus' mighty name . God bless you and your ministry 🙏.
Thank you for your gentle and encouraging reminder of His grace! I really needed to hear this in order to forgive myself and get out of the dark slump I have been in. God bless you Brother.
i feel separated from God. i have no motivation to pray anymore, and if i did, when i get on my knees i’d forget what to say and how to say it, as silly as that sounds, and loss motivation. i have no motivation to read either. i’m so lost, i sometimes pray about it because i need God, but because i doubt myself *SO* much, i don’t think i’m worthy of an answer. how do i get rid of this doubt? i am telling you, i have watched so many videos, prayed so many times, commented this so many times. i don’t think i’m going to heaven. 💔
My sisters have no room for God it breaks my heart
Pray for them, I pray for my sister, because I want her to come back to God, keep praying and trying to help them, by the grace of God something good will happen
Even though we fall short of his glory let us always remember to turn back to him,his love and mercies are eternal,they are capable to forgive all manner of sin.
He died on the cross for you and me to have salvation,look up to him in times of trouble, confusion, doubt, grief and every other situation you might be facing.
He is the answer to every need,no wonder the Bible says call unto me and I will answer you.
Help me to not go on my feelings and please help my husband to overcome his hatred for me I need to dwell on the Word of God and know what is in His Word and not go by my feelings because they will destroy me
Amen!! if your reading this, Jesus loves you always!! #AcceptingJesusWasTheBestDecisionEver
That's how I feel right now from my sins.
Read Daughter of Gods comment. God bless.
Dr Stanley you are the most beautiful loving kind caring person who belongs to Christ Jesus the world needs to hear your message on a daily basis
Thank you Jesus Christ
Father
My Sins And You Know They Are Many
I appreciate this man.
How merciful and patient our loving father is. This scripture came to mind concerning this letter (2 Peter 3:9)
I love you friend ❤️🙋♀️🙏✝️😘
Lord I need you in my life right now in this hour 😢
I felt I'm totally forgiven to my past sins and mistakes when I listened to this video. Thank you dear pastor Stanley for this wonderful sermon.
Dr Charles Stanley is the man
I look so forward to watching this man of God every Sunday..... it us good food to and for my soul...thank u holy spirit for sending you revelation word..through you servant. ..
Please Lord I'm a sinner and fall towards sinning .. I feel lost and drifting with my life. I desire to know Jesus.
Thank you, Dr. Stanley for being the voice of reason for my troubled soul. God bless you.
Forgiveness of yourself yes God gave us His only begotten Son to die for a world of lost sinners and when we Believe Receive and Accept Him as our Lord and Savior and know He forgave us then we learn that forgiveness is one of the key answers in our life no matter what has been done to you as an individual He died for all of us and when you are filled with the Holy Spirit you know forgiveness for others and love peace joy and all the Fruits of the Spirit is what you strive to follow daily and always stay positive and full of love no matter what...
A prayer for salvation is what we need the guy is pretty good
Wow... Pretty much summed up my "feelings" for over a year now. This video explained just about exactly what I've been going through, including spiritual oppression. At the end of this video I felt a silent "YAHOOOOOOO!!!" inside of me. Haha it's true that we are easily confused when we are disobedient and in sin because it draws us away from God and His presence. Man this was spot on. I'm very grateful that The Lord God Almighty led me to this awesome video. Thanks be to Jesus, and thanks be to this wise man for sharing God's truth and love!
I like how you said you felt a big YAHOOO lol praise God!!! Same for me. God Bless you!🙏
5:10- I need prayer

We all struggle but once we fully realize the truth we never have to struggle with sin again.
Needed this
I miss you pastor
I once had (3) people who are dear to me all baptized on the same day. As joyful as I felt I began to feel anxiety. It was as if I heard a whisper saying, “This too shall pass.”, but then these words came to mind, “I’ll follow my orders then as well, no matter how I am feeling.” Good answer, Dr./ Sir. I was compelled to arrive at the same conclusion.
What a beautiful words!!! I take all the promises to me and my 3 sons. As a single parent I only have God!! No one else, today I hear you heart Dr. Stanley Thank you for sharing with such a unconditional 💕 Blessings✝️🌸👋
Please I need to get out of this engulfed sinful life around me they are so off track in closer to God I do not go by my feelings it is by what God wants and our own feelings get us into Trouble and we have to get closer to Him Daily thru His Word He is Love and Peace and showing thru His Love it is forever and the Greatest Treasure we could ever have and the feeling of God dwelling in you and know His Spirit dwells within you

We lost our parents to cancer my little brother is angry at God so much so that he professes to be a atheist now I love him but I know that he's angry taking it hard all I can do is pray for him that The Lord deal with him. I tried talking to him about the Lord he doesn't wanna hear it so I figured the Lord doesn't force himself on us so I won't for Jesus on him unless asked
Exactly the message I needed to hear tonight 🙏❤️Thank you so much!
Thank you, Dr. Stanley, this video has allowed me to analyze the feelings that contributed to the reasoning of feeling disconnected with God.
The devil tried to make me weak but my connection to God and the son as never been stronger
Thank you so much.
