I struggled with insomnia for a few years. What helped me was getting sunlight early in the morning between 6-8am. Do that for about two weeks and it should help you guys with getting restful sleep. Hope that helps anyone here.
Pray the promises of God, delving deep into the Lord, He delivered me from Insomnia in such a special way when I was so desperate and out of control. I heard his still gentle voice guiding me what to do, I trusted and obeyed his instruction and within 3 nights my sleep was back to normal. Each of us are different and we are uniquely made by him, use this as an encouragement that he hears you. Focus on Him and not the issue, because Nothing is impossible with Our God, our saviour and deliverer. Faith takes time and we are in this walk with Him. When I walk through the fire the flames will not set me ablaze. I will say a prayer for you Maria God Bless
Thank you for these words Aaron. I do believe everything you say here. The afflictions make us stronger. Make us more beautiful. Nothing is ever insurmountable. God bless you and yours my brother🙏❤️.
Please pray for me I am going through this miserable affliction of anxiety, fears, depression and progressed to diseases in the body . I'm feeling weak everyday.
Without suffering i would have no opportunity to grow my faith ... therefore consider it as pure joy all who suffer and remind yourself God wants our attention towards him alone...
Just went through it last night and honestly was saying the same thing last night. We can trust the Lord. Don't give up,press on. Endure and encourage ourselves in the Lord. God is working. We walk by faith not our sight.
It’s hard to walk with God and doubt him at the same time .. we must walk by faith and not by how we feel or how others make us feel .. stand on his word and promises.. (Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised.) Hebrews 10:23
Boy can I relate! Praying, no answers. Mental health issues, no change. Positive sermons, no encouragement. I feel like these positive scriptures are just cliches. It's been so hard!
Thank you again and again Aaron. I tend to forget too and am tired of people saying I don’t have enough faith( maybe I don’t). Idk. But I can relate to everything you say. Praying for you and all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I’m going to repent of my sorrows and start praising Him again. On a fleshy level, I cry for all the pain in this world. I’m glad Jesus is with all of us and promises to never leave us nor forsake us. Praying for you Aaron. God bless you. We love you and pray over you family too IJN
Hi Aaron. In March of 2020, I stumbled upon your channel. It’s been over 3 years now since my life was turned upside down & my horrific trial started. I sent my only child to Peru on a mission trip in March of 2020. She was only 15 yrs old. She came back sick & has never gotten better. In fact, things have gotten much worse. The other 15 kids who went on the trip with her all came back fine. It was only my child who got sick. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve referred back to your channel and watched every single one of your videos for comfort and faith since then. Oh, how they carried me thru & I would fall asleep listening to them while crying. They comforted me. Though we are strangers across the country, you are my brother in Christ. I prayed for you since watching this video of yours yesterday. You seem so sad. I recently started watching Pastor Tony Evans. I have found that I really like the way he delivers a sermon. He’s very gifted at making it “make sense”. While watching this sermon this morning, you crossed my mind and I wanted to share it with you. I’m praying for you, Aaron. Hang in there my brother. ua-cam.com/video/hw40v_QM6Bw/v-deo.html&feature=share
I cried reading your post. I cry a lot especially over children and animals. Praying for you mama. Praying for your daughter and for Jesus to heal her. Aaron is just such an encouragement to keep going. Much love and prayers ❤❤🙏
Kim, I prayed for your daughter. May the Lord strengthen both you and your daughter to trust in Him through it all. Also, thank you for your prayers; I appreciate it. I occasionally listen to Pastor Tony Evans as well.
@@kimmefford2814how is your daughter doing? You and your family are in my prayers. It hurts terribly when children suffer. I pray you teach her about Jesus, I wish I had with my son but I was not saved then. Giving your daughter the knowledge of Jesus will help her overcome the world.
All I can do is pray for you, so I did. I’m sorry you are in so much pain. I prayed the Lord would give you strength to endure, and for Him to give you His joy, peace, and love. Never give up. Only trust in Jesus.
Oh Aaron. This is EXACTLY how I was feeling today. So, so weary. Thank you for the encouragement. Looking forward to see what the Lord IS going to do in both you and I as we yield to Him in every circumstance. God bless you, brother. Jackie Pendleton
Missed you. I was wondering how you were doing. I'll continue to pray for you. Mark DeJesus has some good videos dealing with anxiety and or depression. He was a Pastor and has been there; done that with mental health struggles. He now does mental health help full time.
Thank you Aaron for this beautiful message..its very true what you are saying.we have to be totally dependent on God,trust him in our storms. We go through hardship for God has something better for all of us .God bless you.
I totally surrendered to God and have been waiting years just wanting to learn to walk in the Spirit and be used by God, I pray that he’ll make me more useful through all this waiting and backsliding 🙏I’m so tired but continue to keep trusting. It’s encouraging to know that you didn’t get healed instantly Aaron.. please help me pray brothers and sisters 🙏
Thank you for giving to the Lord by sharing your heart and life with Jesus. You are valuable and of great value in the kingdom of God. You encourage me so much. God bless and keep you in the palm of His almighty hand. Keep ministering, in Jesus’ name.
Thank you Aaron, God bless you! I will always be thankful for the work God is doing through you. God has made you a continually reminder of our complete dependence on God. I am thankful that we are drug through harsh trials at times to keep our focus on our great God!
I really appreciate your transparency❤️truth is we’re all dealing with similar issues and waiting for change myself included I had a few moments of complete helplessness when I wondered why I’ve gone through these trials if God even hears my prayers for deliverance. I know he surely does but everything happens in God’s perfect timing I have to remind myself that often. I love you all❤please pray for me I’ll continue to pray for each person here hurting
Your videos are keeping my spirit alive as I am going through insomnia. I'm sleeping but I feel that I'm not it's torture. Some days I'm strong, believing Jesus will heal me. But at night it's so hard not to panic. What did you do, did you just lay in bed until morning how did you get through your nights in peace?
I’m glad the videos are helpful. The most helpful thing for insomnia is to remember God’s promises. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to watch two videos I made on insomnia. As for what I did at night, I usually just laid down when I was sleepy. And if I wasn’t after a while, I would get up and do something like pray or read or watch something. And then lay down again after some time. Remembering God’s promises all the while.
THANK YOU, DEAR BROTHER IN CHRIST :) THIS MESSAGE IS ENCOURAGING AND MOTIVATIONAL, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS! WE LOVE YOU AND OUR PRAYERS IS WITH YOU, ALSO.
I keep getting better then having setbacks. The setbacks are becoming less long each time. My son will be born tomorrow, I think I’ve been stressing myself with this new life change and is given me so much body tension (tension headaches everyday). Staying strong on my faith, keep giving your body messages of safety.
Your channel has been more helpful to myself than you could ever realise. Your suffering is not in vain. Initially I would watch videos on theology and apologetics but I didn’t know anything that could address the challenges I’ve been facing from the internet drug adddition to depress then suddenly your channel popped up
Thank you for this message, Aaron. Again, I can sooooo relate! Thank you for the encouraging message. It is very helpful. You speak truth. I am grateful to you for doing these videos. God bless you my friend, and your family and ministry. Will pray for you.
This came at the right time for me Aaron. I’ve been suffering through my mental health issues and have been asking God for healing but felt like I heard nothing but silence. Your message was so uplifting! God bless you Aaron and keep up the good fight of faith! I know the Lord will provide in His time for us all.
I so understand brother. ❤ It’s hard. a couple of things that might help me get out of my bad feelings is listening to preaching, buy something I like, and start serving others. You know it’s just the first step to those is the hardest. Keep it up you are helping so many. God bless you
Love your messages. They help me so much with my anxiety. I’m struggling with my faith after losing my mom to cancer two months ago and I have anxiety about my own health now. True health problems, but praying I will be ok for my son’s sake. I have to keep fighting. 🙏🏻
Thank you Aaron for another encouraging word. Grace Abounding by John Bunyan is a good read for the suffering Christian. He writes about his spiritual turmoil and how God brought him out through His word.
I have felt that way myself many times. Yet I am glad I never gave up on God, or myself. Please don't give up. Walk by faith, not by sight. Jesus loves you with an everlasting love.
I hear you brother. I'm in a similar situation. Exhausted, tired of listening to well-meaning preachers. Is it possible that it's not only a spiritual problem but a physiological problem as well?
Yes, I do think they are often connected. How we are physically can impact our emotions, and vice versa. I believe it is important to take care of our bodies as well with regular exercise and healthy eating. I regularly exercise not only for physical health, but mental health as well. God bless you brother.
I understand. The only sensible option Christians have is to keep depending on God; no matter how many times one may fail. When you feel absolutely tired and out of strength, just ask God to help you. Then, He will find a way to help you. Keep trusting in Him.
Aaron my friend, you have encouraged me and helped me so much over the last two years. Thank you. What may help you too w what is going on is learning to rewire your brain… neuroplasticity. I am doing this and my reaction to sleep and chronic pain has gotten so much better. I started practicing this with some of my patients and the results are good. It’s not instantaneous. It takes practice. It takes us being kind to ourselves in the process. And in the process He is pruning us. He works ALL things for good.
@Aaron Kim, brother, thank you for the message. Really came at a very ideal time. Out of love, I wanted to warn you about watchman Nee and witness Lee-related materials. I spent a short time with the 'local church' and I left when I found out some very heretical things were being taught. Specifically, that God needs us more than we need Him and that He is lonely without us. I read official writings passed over by the church that affirmed this stance when I challenged it. I cannot say they are not brothers or sisters in Christ, but tread safely. There is a channel called 'Texas Street Preacher' that calls out many more of the heresies - after spending I believe it was years with that particular church. The brother that runs the channel is a bit rough and I don't personally endorse his mannerisms. Best to you. By the way, are you a 'local church' member?
Hello brother Jack, thank you for your care; I do appreciate it. Those are valid points of concern. Watchman Nee is one of those brothers who I still learn from although I may not agree with certain beliefs of his. As long as they are not teaching heresy imo, I can usually overlook the areas of disagreements and keep learning from them. I learned to do this when I realized almost everyone has some blind spots. And yes, I am a part of a local church in Indianapolis called College Park Church. God bless you brother.
@@aaronkim1074 Got it. I also mention it because by the grace of God, you've got almost 9k people who tune-in to your content. So mentioning watchman Nee very well may have led curious ears to check out his writings and even to the 'local church' he founded where there are some sketchy things from my experience - e.g., what I mentioned and how they believe Revelation is all symbolic (as I recall, they believe New Jerusalem & New Heavens and New Earth are not literal), they put a lot of emphasis on the writings of their founders Nee and Lee which is scary. What a blessing to serve God with such a large audience, but what a responsibility you take on as well my beloved brother.
Hello I wanted to ask you is my severe insomnia from GOD or from the devil? How do you know where it’s coming from? Is this a trial that GOD is giving me? Sometimes I just don’t want to pray, I feel like giving up.
Hello, it’s often difficult to tell what the source of our afflictions are. In these cases, it is better to focus on what we do know. For example: 1) Regardless of the source of your afflictions, God is using your trial for your good. 2) His grace is sufficient for you at all times 3) God will see you through as you trust in Him 4) As you trust in Him through the trial, you will become more like Jesus and useful for His use. Don’t give up, but stay surrendered and trusting in Jesus alone. He is faithful.
Aaron My Brother, I thought you might be going through something, since I hadn't seen a video in a while. God has been working on me in a similar way, and He's revealed a few things that you may find encouraging to be reminded of. 1) You have been given a ministry to speak about trials and suffering. God's given me a similar ministry in a lesser extent to you. For both of us, that ministry requires compassion for the people we engage with. If our pain is in the distant past, we tend to forget it's acuteness and become less sympathetic to other believers who are drowning in their pain. So our pain has to be fresh. 2) Paul speaks of enduring all things for the sake of The Elect. I've had times in my life, and I'm sure you have too, where I've been crushed in a senseless way, where no one could see. It was in private and seemed to have no purpose at all. But later, that private crushing not only gave me great benefits, but I was really able to help and encourage and make sense of things for other suffering saints. One thing I've seen is that the benefit is always far greater than the pain. A year of pain is a small price for a lifetime of good for myself and others. I take great encouragement from Paul Bunyan, who rotted in jail for 10 years. But that time alone is the only way he would have ever produced books like Pilgrim's Progress and Holy War, which have helped believers for centuries! Our suffering truly does produce glory that isn't worth being compared to it. 3) Knowledge without application is worthless. Seeing all the diagrams and explanations of the mechanics and benefits of a squat doesn't mean half as much as actually squatting does. We can understand intellectually that God is good, we should trust Him, His ways always work good later, faith through trials is glorifying to God, we need to rejoice and give thanks for all things, etc... but it has to be assimilated from our head into our experience, and that requires practical application. God often teaches us the classroom lesson, then takes us into the lab to see what we've really learned. And just like a novice weightlifter, at first our faith muscles are like bambi's legs. We're shaky, and even the smallest ounce of genuine trust in God takes every ounce of effort we've got! But with repetition, the lesson takes effect and we can trust quicker and easier. Just like with fitness, I've also found that God often makes me repeat the fundamentals, so I don't lose them as I move on to the next challenge. 4) I'm a personal trainer, and sometimes when I have a hard headed client, I'll make them go through something hard without the solution, so that they're more ready to receive the answer when it's given. I think you do some olympic lifting. No one has ever adopted the hook grip because I told them it's helpful upfront. It's uncomfortable. But if you have someone do 50+ cleans and then tell them about the hook grip once they can't even hold a water bottle, they're a lot more ready to receive what you're telling them. God has certainly worked with me in the same way. Hope some of that helps. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing much wisdom brother; I appreciate it. That was encouraging to read. The Lord has certainly blessed you. May the Lord continue to use you and fill you with His love and joy.
Sometimes I think all these problems come upon us purely because we have been programmed by the previous generation that they should....and now we believe it. "According to your faith, be it done unto you." 🤷🏼♂️ We are the cause of our own downfall, stress and trouble...Didn't Jesus come to set us free, and free indeed? Just saying...
I am exhausted. I pray that He will deliver me from insomnia. I need his healing and His peace
You're not alone, I'm exhausted from it also, Praying for deliverance 🙏✨️🕊🕊 will include you in my prayers middle of the night .
Thanks. This is torture. Why live like that?

Best to you. By the way, are you a 'local church' member?
Hello brother Jack, thank you for your care; I do appreciate it. Those are valid points of concern. Watchman Nee is one of those brothers who I still learn from although I may not agree with certain beliefs of his. As long as they are not teaching heresy imo, I can usually overlook the areas of disagreements and keep learning from them. I learned to do this when I realized almost everyone has some blind spots. And yes, I am a part of a local church in Indianapolis called College Park Church. God bless you brother.
@@aaronkim1074 Got it. I also mention it because by the grace of God, you've got almost 9k people who tune-in to your content. So mentioning watchman Nee very well may have led curious ears to check out his writings and even to the 'local church' he founded where there are some sketchy things from my experience - e.g., what I mentioned and how they believe Revelation is all symbolic (as I recall, they believe New Jerusalem & New Heavens and New Earth are not literal), they put a lot of emphasis on the writings of their founders Nee and Lee which is scary. What a blessing to serve God with such a large audience, but what a responsibility you take on as well my beloved brother.
I feel like im just suffering because of my own bad decisions.
Hello I wanted to ask you is my severe insomnia from GOD or from the devil? How do you know where it’s coming from?
Is this a trial that GOD is giving me?
Sometimes I just don’t want to pray,
I feel like giving up.
Hello, it’s often difficult to tell what the source of our afflictions are. In these cases, it is better to focus on what we do know. For example: 1) Regardless of the source of your afflictions, God is using your trial for your good. 2) His grace is sufficient for you at all times 3) God will see you through as you trust in Him 4) As you trust in Him through the trial, you will become more like Jesus and useful for His use.
Don’t give up, but stay surrendered and trusting in Jesus alone. He is faithful.
Bless you Aaron. Thank you. God heal my brothers and sisters. It is hard but we praise God in all things ❤️
Aaron My Brother, I thought you might be going through something, since I hadn't seen a video in a while. God has been working on me in a similar way, and He's revealed a few things that you may find encouraging to be reminded of.
1) You have been given a ministry to speak about trials and suffering. God's given me a similar ministry in a lesser extent to you. For both of us, that ministry requires compassion for the people we engage with. If our pain is in the distant past, we tend to forget it's acuteness and become less sympathetic to other believers who are drowning in their pain. So our pain has to be fresh.
2) Paul speaks of enduring all things for the sake of The Elect. I've had times in my life, and I'm sure you have too, where I've been crushed in a senseless way, where no one could see. It was in private and seemed to have no purpose at all. But later, that private crushing not only gave me great benefits, but I was really able to help and encourage and make sense of things for other suffering saints. One thing I've seen is that the benefit is always far greater than the pain. A year of pain is a small price for a lifetime of good for myself and others. I take great encouragement from Paul Bunyan, who rotted in jail for 10 years. But that time alone is the only way he would have ever produced books like Pilgrim's Progress and Holy War, which have helped believers for centuries! Our suffering truly does produce glory that isn't worth being compared to it.
3) Knowledge without application is worthless. Seeing all the diagrams and explanations of the mechanics and benefits of a squat doesn't mean half as much as actually squatting does. We can understand intellectually that God is good, we should trust Him, His ways always work good later, faith through trials is glorifying to God, we need to rejoice and give thanks for all things, etc... but it has to be assimilated from our head into our experience, and that requires practical application. God often teaches us the classroom lesson, then takes us into the lab to see what we've really learned. And just like a novice weightlifter, at first our faith muscles are like bambi's legs. We're shaky, and even the smallest ounce of genuine trust in God takes every ounce of effort we've got! But with repetition, the lesson takes effect and we can trust quicker and easier. Just like with fitness, I've also found that God often makes me repeat the fundamentals, so I don't lose them as I move on to the next challenge.
4) I'm a personal trainer, and sometimes when I have a hard headed client, I'll make them go through something hard without the solution, so that they're more ready to receive the answer when it's given. I think you do some olympic lifting. No one has ever adopted the hook grip because I told them it's helpful upfront. It's uncomfortable. But if you have someone do 50+ cleans and then tell them about the hook grip once they can't even hold a water bottle, they're a lot more ready to receive what you're telling them. God has certainly worked with me in the same way. Hope some of that helps. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing much wisdom brother; I appreciate it. That was encouraging to read. The Lord has certainly blessed you. May the Lord continue to use you and fill you with His love and joy.
what is the watchman knee video
Hi Aaron. Can you give me the name of the book by Watchman Née, please? Thank you.
Of course: Release of the Spirit
@@aaronkim1074Thanks, brother.
Bro can i submit to God and smoke cigarettes I'm trying to quit but its hard i also hear voices they torment me all day it sucks
Sometimes I think all these problems come upon us purely because we have been programmed by the previous generation that they should....and now we believe it. "According to your faith, be it done unto you." 🤷🏼♂️ We are the cause of our own downfall, stress and trouble...Didn't Jesus come to set us free, and free indeed? Just saying...
Jesus came to set us free from Sin..He never promised a struggle free Christian life. Jesus Himself said that the way to Life is Narrow and Difficult.
