It is this type of preached word that will set souls free from the prisons of false religious personas, traditional fundamental prisons of false hyper spirituality, and introducing them to true and glorious resurrected Savior. God Bless you Pastor Wesley.
Thanks for this Powerful message I truly been preaching and living a celebate lifestyle and a widow at 27 from men murdered my husband of 26yrs old. We had no children but I have not allowed Satan to have any control on my life but it was getting to me why God allowed so much suffering in my life and I felt privileged in my life because of our relationship with him. Now I have mobility problems when I have seen people get out of the wheel chair and a lady in Portland blinded eyes opened and so much more. Your message helped me. I just reasonably got angry with God for not replacing me a mate. Thanks
Sometimes I feel we have more faith than God. If God was to experience what we go through on a daily basics, he would have thrown in the towel. Loooooong time.
I've told Him something like this- I said that He seeminglybdoesnt care b/cnHe never has tongo through anything He outs us through amd that He sits with His arms folded watching everything
That's literally what Jesus is, brother. God became a human and lived the most hellish life full of suffering and disease as he possibly could, before he was captured and brutally beaten, tortured, crucified, and stabbed to death.
You're Not in A Healthy relationship if you can't show your frustration,confusion,or anger.... That's Truth thank you Yah for stopping Me from any comparison... I rather Be BLESSED 💞... GLORY
@@talaeperry6430 There are times in the scripture when praying to God has caused a change in his intent. Thank God someone reminded me of the story of King Hezekiah who prayed to God and was given 15 more years of life. That person prayed for my mother when the physician had pronounced she would die, and she lived for 18 more months. i praise God to this day for that miracle. Prayer is possible to change things. That does not say you will not retrogress. I'm struggling to bring myself back from regressing after my brother's passing nearly a year ago. The circumstances were different but I won't go into that at this time. I know I will eventually reach back to my point of height in my former faith. You can too. I pray God's blessings upon you to continue in your life.
@@MW-yt1 I appreciate that. There’s a part of me that thinks I should be over it and just move on and look at it as a break up but this is not a boyfriend girlfriend relationship this is my marriage I said for better for worse till death do us part I got no idea how to move on.
My love, I pray for love, hope, understanding, and wisdom to wrap itself around you. I felt nothing but hurt and pain in your words. I pray for your continued perseverance to weather your storm. Sending you a long and tight virtual hug 🫂!
I have been angry with God for moving "slow" in the way I count slowness. I have often felt neglected and forgotten as I watch others getting blessed with blessings I have prayed diligently for. I have felt the pain of Mary after serving God, opening my home to women, pouring into others, sacrificing time and energy into God's visions and feeling entitled because of my devotion. Thank you for sharing biblically-based wisdom on this matter.
I, a faltering but soon-to-be-restored believer, pray God's blessings upon your life mightily that you will soon rejoice in your pure heart and be restored into the complete Joy of the Lord as your life surely qualifies you to eventually receive. You bless others by just in the words you have chosen to reveal. May God very soon bring you peace and more sublime fruition to your life than you could ever have expected. Prayed in the Holy and Mighty Name of Jesus, Our Lord. May it be so. Amen.
My husband passed 3 months ago from cancer. This ministered to my soul. Sunday morning when someone asked how I was I said, struggling with a Martha spirit...”Lord if you would’ve been here, my husband wouldn’t have died”...then later on UA-cam I ran across your sermon. Thank God, & thank you sir.
I praise God for encountering this message at the right time in my life and personal need. My parents used to always say: "God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." Thank you and thank God for this message.
Been there, done that, and now I know I was not alone. Thank you I really needed to hear this. "When the hand of God escapes your understanding , The Character of God must be believed in your heart" AMEN
It was for me Dr. Wesley, thank you, I can't so more than thank you right now. This message is amazing. What a Prophet you are. Glory be to our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus the Christ for the anointing of the Holy Spirit on you sir, amen
Be angry but sin not…Don’t stay angry. In all your getting get an understanding. Jesus wept. But after the tears.Getting ready to get up. Coming out with more power.
Thank you for your obedience to God and preaching this message. I seemingly stumbled upon your service, but it became clear that this was a Divine set up for God to allow me to hear what He needed me to hear. God bless you, Man of God. I now know God will have to help me to deal with my Mary and Martha moments.
P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L message' Thank you Father for this Word and the man of God. Be blessed of the Lord Pastor John Wesley and all at Alfred Street. Every preacher should preach the ending of this message and less name it and claim it.
This is one of the best sermons I've heard in recent memory. I posted three consecutive days of Facebook comments sharing the points in the message. The sermon is so challenging and thoughtful. It resonated with me and I don't recall ever being really angry with God. Dr. Wesley's explanation of the purpose of prayer is so beneficial. I love this Pastor and congregation. If I lived in the DMV area, I would join this fellowship immediately.
Dr Wesley believes: Prayer is not a tool to manipulate nor maneuver God-not to change what God is doing-but to help see the glory in what God is doing!
I love this pastor and his message. I am angry with God. I called and I prayed and fasted and my wife still decided divorce was the correct decision. I’ve had other brothers pray and stand in the gap for me and still Jesus has not shown up so I am angry.
I am so very sorry for you. There are many ways that I hope that God would intervene in the world that He has chosen not to do so. However, I have finally come to realize that we may not have to understand in order to acknowledge "His ways are not our ways" and that there is so much going wrong in the world by man's hands that God has a full time job counteracting all the mess we have all put ourselves in. So we still remain the problem and must find ways to maintain our true faith and hope in God having mysterious and unknown ways of transforming the world eventually to His divine design. We may struggle, but in the end everything must finally be made to fit into the Divine Plan for the greater good. I try to believe that and still struggle to maintain. So I am praying that you may yet be able to "hold on" to God's hand -- even though life is not going as you think it should at this time. Your own resolution is possible if you try hard to keep the Faith out of your own necessity to survive and also eventually thrive. Figure out on your own how you can change your prayer to make life more acceptable to His purpose as you move forward in your own life. That is the only way I have found to help my peace of mind I am also struggling for. I know it will eventually come and the love of the Lord will once again be estabished as before -- because maintain the faith in Godly eventualities in my life. My prayer is that you can find a way to reach that point in yours.
@@MW-yt1 I was asking my therapist is divorce ever a mistake. Some people say that the marriage was a mistake but do they ever look at the divorce is a mistake and he said from his 25 years of being a therapist at 25 to 30% divorce is our mistake they could be fixed to salvage. It’s hard to the couple from someone that for 10 years has meant everything to you especially when I look at my children and my default is willing to reach out to care but now having to look at her through glass that’s why I can’t touch him that perhaps emotionally I need to pull back from but I’m asking God that we both have a prodigal dad heart
Dear Rev. Wesley, thank you so much for clarifying what I have been struggling with all during Covid-19 up until now. But ALL GLORY to God, I'm going to be coming out of the struggle now in Yeshua's name. Dr. Wesley every symptom you mentioned is what I have been going through or had gone through these past 4 or 5 years. But the Lord is going to bring me out of it He is bringing me to the promised land now. So thank you so much for the love you put into this sermon as well as the personal authenticity and experience. with that being said you mentioned a scholar named Gerald S... could you please post his name somewhere? P.S. I am going to pray for you and I love you and your devotion to God.
One of the worst things we can do is compare the reality of our lives with someone else’s life-it’s only a snapshot! (Sorry...should have been enclosed in quotation marks. It belongs to someone else)
If you live long enough, you learn prayer changes nothing. Absolutely nothing. jesus doesnt keep the promises he himself made in his "word". Ever notice how close "Judas" is to "jesus"?
It is this type of preached word that will set souls free from the prisons of false religious personas, traditional fundamental prisons of false hyper spirituality, and introducing them to true and glorious resurrected Savior. God Bless you Pastor Wesley.
Holy Spirit sent me here cause I NEED this
I always listen to your sermons it's Amazing truly God is with you. And this message is powerful and it has come at right time in my life.
Thanks for this Powerful message

@@Godlywoman88 Please refer to what I said to ultraplusmusic.
I was mad at God & didn't know who Jesus was. Thank God for loving me to keep me around to do his work & speak about his son Lord Jesus Christ.
You're Not in A Healthy relationship if you can't show your frustration,confusion,or anger.... That's Truth thank you Yah for stopping Me from any comparison...
I rather Be BLESSED 💞... GLORY
Amen, AMEN, Amen! Hallelujah! Speak to me LORD!🥰
Jesussss!! Pastor Wesley!! You don’t know how many times I’ve asked myself why am I praying of God if He’s gonna do what He wants to anyway. Wow!!!
Look. Fasting praying crying begging and still..

@@MW-yt1 I am sorry to hear about your loss of your brother. I’m very close with one of my sisters especially it will be devastating to walk that road
God has devastated me so much it's easier to not want anything.
My love, I pray for love, hope, understanding, and wisdom to wrap itself around you. I felt nothing but hurt and pain in your words. I pray for your continued perseverance to weather your storm. Sending you a long and tight virtual hug 🫂!
Yes, Rev. I've had a lot of Mary moment!
Amen! Thank you for this great sermon

Good word, pastor good teaching thank you for making it plain
"Righteousness is a response to grace, not an investment in mercy".
Powerful. Need to sit with that for a minute.
I praise God for encountering this message at the right time in my life and personal need. My parents used to always say: "God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." Thank you and thank God for this message.
I needed this sermon so much 🙏🏿

This was a timely message for me in this moment. Amen.
Maturing faith requires we may never know why God does it His way. But, God is SOVEREIGN! Amen.
I’d rather be blessed. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Be angry but sin not…Don’t stay angry. In all your getting get an understanding. Jesus wept. But after the tears.Getting ready to get up. Coming out with more power.
Our righteousness is our response to grace for what we have already received.
“The wicked may prosper but are never blessed.” When the wicked prospers they got to fight to keep it...got to get it by themselves...”

Good morning and thank you Dr. Wesley this has blessed me beyond my own beliefs so thank you.
Think its so sweet how u watch the movies first to protect your kids pastor wesley xxx 🐒🐵
My niece told me that God was running after me.

Preach Wesley!!!!
Dr Wesley believes: Prayer is not a tool to manipulate nor maneuver God-not to change what God is doing-but to help see the glory in what God is doing!
I can never get angry at God because I'm a faulty person full of sin and knows nothing. God is perfect even if he doesn't answer prayers.
This Pastor is talking to me all day long! I thought I was along in suffering like this

Thankyou Pastor wesley for blessing me with your sermons. Its helped me so much with daddy! Give my love to your family. Xxx 🐵🐒🦧
So no matter what you do, good or bad. If he don't WANT to answer he'll ignore you
I agree
Glooooory!!!!!!! I'm blessed 👏🏾
......and from here, i go up.
You better say that, Pastor Wesley! I need this series. 🙏🏾
Great word brother.
I'd rather be blessed!
One of the things that frustrates us about God is we struggle with His Sovereignty.
So relevant Pastor. Thank you. New to your church. Referred by a friend. l love 💕 this spiritual food. Be blessed.
Wow! And, Amen!
Amen. Preach
I got it now.
What is the purpose of prayer? If everything that happens is the pre-ordained will of God what does prayer really do?
I saw on the news another black person shot by cops there. Its heartbreaking isnt it pastor wesley. Hope youre all ok. Xxx im from Tasmania Australia.
Yes
TEACH!

“Privileged position” righteousness is not a quid pro quo. I had this mindset of a privileged position.
Seminary second: prolepsis is when a writer takes some future event and recast it in the past as if it had already happened.

What do you believe about our God?
Yeah if Jesus did it (felt forsaken) then we must be normal pastor wesley! Xxx 🐒🐵

Blasphemy message. This message is wrong in so many ways.
Not me, this made sense to me. Sorry I/we are not as super saved as you.
You will grow into it.
Amen.
