My sermon notes for "Rags to Righteous" 1.) Protection is not punishment. Sometimes, what God allows is for alignment. Self-awareness is necessary for growth. He will put you back on track, stop digging 2.) No matter what you face, Jesus is always there. Sometimes, it may not seem like it, but he is there ready to catch you. He is not against you 3.) Strong anointing equally comes with strong attacks and opposition 4.) The pit is the way to your purpose. Sing it when you are sinking. Faith doesn't mean you won't sink. It means you won't stay there. 5.) If God isn't making it happen, maybe he has been telling you not to wait. You have been waiting on the wrong sign 6.) If every demon is against you, God's not done with you. From the pit of every attack of the enemy, keeping singing out God is not against you 7.) In all situations and circumstances, God is not against you. God has all power, and he uses who he wants to use 8.) The palace does not prove God's presence, the pit proves God's absence. God's people will come to lift you up. The rags come before the rope. Here comes the rope, when you're ready
Could you please elaborate what you mean on the 5th note? I watched the sermon but I feel like I still do not fully grasp this one. Are you saying in Note 5 that God is waiting on us to take action and not wait for a sign? Thank you!
While listening in the car, at the end of the sermon when you asked new believers to repeat the prayer of asking God in your heart; my 3 year old raised both of his hands and repeated every single word! Thank you for ministering in a way that speaks to Everyone and All ages!!🙌
I'm listening to this at 946 at Buffalo City Mission. I have 2 months and I will be in my own place , 2 years and 9 months sober and praising God for everything. Thank you Pastor for what your doing I've listened to him since February 2022 after I cleared detox.
Jesus pulled me out of alcoholism, drug addiction, and just being an all around piece of work, I was on the ICU bed for two weeks straight because of OD …. He pulled me up, told me I was his wipe me clean, gave me a new name and told no more.. I’m not gonna lie it’s not easy, every time my feet hit the floor I’m ecstatic and overwhelmed with just still being on the earth. Thank you Jesus.
Willie, you are not alone in your spiritual journey. I pray the Holy Spirit guides you into more truth and leads you to a deeper relationship with Jesus
I really needed to hear this cos my baby will be named Jeremiah cos the devil has fought it but I believe will still preserve my baby in the womb till my due date

Every night I got to bed and every morning I wake up in this homeless shelter and the first thing I turn on is this ministry it has helped me since I went into rehab in 2022 for alcohol. I'm 2 yrs sober and trying to rebuild my life. This ministry has done a lot for me emotionally to be strong. I'm really trying 😢
I really really needed this Word today. I'm in the mud atm. Particularly at work. I work at an Oncology Clinic. It's been really really hard lately. A few coworkers have left and the moral is super low.
wow... when I saw the title... something I've said to describe my life is is that... throughout my 42 yrs on earth I've gone from rags to ritches & back to even dirtier rags again... I've never cared about things or money... & as bad as we need money right now... the only thought that consumes my mind right now is the fact that I haven't been able to produce enough breast milk to match my 2 month old's level of intake... she's a complete miracle as I was never supposed to have children... & even the doctors said that even if by some MIRACLE ( their words not mine) I'd concieve that the fertilized egg wouldn't attach to my uterus the way it should causing an ectopic pregnancy... even after PCOD ( or PCOS some refer to it as ) endometriosis & Peri -menopause... @ the age of 41 I delivered a healthy baby girl & turned 42 3 weeks later ( Happy Birthday Abby from a couple birthday girls to another as I'm hearing it's your birthday as I type this ! ) 🥰❣️ idk if I was meant to breastfeed... but circumstances beyond mine & my husband's control caused my daughter to eat more than normal right from the beginning causing my milk supply to not be sufficient enough for her... thus not being into alignment ( funny pastor Furtick is saying that just as I was typing this ) ... so I'm asking God that if I'm still meant to continue to try & breastfeed to give me the supply she needs so that we don't have to supplement w/formula... pray for us & if anyone needs prayer please reply & we'll be more than happy to pray for y'all as well...

We are praying that the Holy Spirit fills your work and that you can stay focused on Him. Praying for peace over your coworkers.
Are you helping people? Are you all over worked?
Maybe ask God if you should continue to stay there. 🙏💜
@@di4085 I am helping people but yes we are all overworked. I'm praying for God's direction.
Prayers for you.
there are times when a health care professional should leave. Praying for wisdom but secure another job before leaving
I receive jesus and re commit my life to christ
