“When you are looking to be mentored and discipled, look to somebody who has suffered much and his faith In God has remained unshaken” ✨✨✨ brutal!!!! ❤️ my heart in tears
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength when the labors increase; To added afflictions He addeth His mercy, To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father’s full giving is only begun. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision, Our God ever yearns His resources to share; Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing; The Father both thee and thy load will upbear. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again. - Annie J. Flint
This poem, by Annie J Flint is so much more than a "poem".I wrote it out - there are no words for what it means to me.....I have never read anything that comes even remotely close to what this Godly woman, who suffered so, penned. You must feel the same way.
i'm in tears because i nearly give up hope of believing due to years of constant excruciating pains.... God my hope is renewed by this testimony......Thanks a lot Dr Ravi Zach
I too know about suffering excruciating pain 24/7, n it has been 29 yrs. Dr. Messed me up n nobody can fix me, but God. I'm still believing n waiting. That does NOT take anything away from God. He is good n He does good n He Is still WORTHY TO B PRAISED, EVEN AT END OF THE DAY. HOLY,HOLY, HOLY. I want to b made well n I wish it was His timing to do it now today. Some days I cry n beg for rapture quick.. I HATE PAIN, I Hate too, the fact that ppl are making it harder for sick ppl to get proper meds, who have never had bad or serious health issue. It SUCKS!!!!, I Wish it worked like that... "oh because your having mental issues over the medicine I need to live on,... IM CURED., but it doesnt work that way. So God bless everyone
I’m so sorry, jerio by. I’m with you in pain. I’ve been reading C.S. Lewis’ book THE PROBLEM OF PAIN. It has been a help to me. Sending my love, brother.
When I was 7 years old, I was attacked by a pit-bull. He tore open my neck, destroyed right arm and took a chunk out of my right hip. It was in the middle of the summer. I was in the middle of one of my favorite games, Baseball. I played 1st base because I was the only person on the team who could catch. When my armed healed and after being benched for almost 2 months, I was back on the field. At first, where I belonged. And then the coach, half way through the game moved me from 1st to 3rd. As it turned out, my arm healed to be stronger than it ever was, and then I went from being the only one who could catch to the only one who could make the throw from 3rd to 1st. I understand Ravi’s story. I never wanted to play anywhere except 1st, and I was moved to 3rd... then I was moved to Center Field because I could both catch and throw well.
Kainable87 lovely testimony thanks for sharing. 9 months ago I fell and broke my left wrist very badly. I am a professional cellist and because of the too tight cast for 6 weeks it is not good. ( CRPS ) I haven’t played until yesterday .It was painfully weird and my fingertips felt like the steel strings were digging into the flesh. In Gods strength I will continue each day in His strength. Blessings to you too.
He is right there with you. Open your Word and hear His living voice. God bless bless and keep you, sister. I see this is from 8 months ago. I am going to pray for you right now.
Before I talk about me, I must thank GOD for Ravi Zacharias! Through faith he is my brother, and GOD has given him a sharp mind and spirit to address questions, while remaining on THE ANSWER!!! Bless you, Brother! I have been through many trials from age 4 until now 44. Sexual abuse, poverty, health, racism. My parents could do nothing because we were living in the same fallen world. I learned to hear the voice of JESUS when I was young as a toddler being abused in a church group setting, while being blamed for the abuse I was receiving. JESUS quickly let me know that I was being told LIES. HE is the TRUTH, and no permission was given for boys to repeatedly rape a 4 year old. I was robbed of the choice of being a virgin before I was 5. BUT the LORD has been the lifter up of my head. What the enemy meant for evil GOD used to make me a strong child of GOD & Servant of JESUS CHRIST! To GOD be the glory in JESUS' Name!!!
I love you thankyou for sharing and being one of the strongest people i know, inspiring. May you now live among abundance and Gods gifts he is so proud of you !
God bless you, dear sister for sharing your testimony. I can hear your spirit-filled love for our King 👑! I praise Jesus with you. How beloved you must be! ❤️
He said one man told him “When you’re looking to be mentored and discipled, look to somebody who has suffered much and whose faith in God has remained unshaken.” 🔥
I asked my mother several months ago if she ever listened to Ravi Zachariah: she said “Ravi? Your father and I used to pick him up at the Sioux Falls airport and drive him to the Bible Conference at Lake Okaboji (sp), I have a plaque from him thanking us.” Who would have known!
Peter Dickinson Intellectual yes Humble i don't know Trying to watch his talks but it's very hard for me to hear all the talk of his travels 200 days a year, visits to Thailand, talk of his lovely wife and family, his books and all sorts of lovely life. My life is not at all remotely pleasant and it's hard having it rubbed in so much
Blown away. I am dealing with similar disc herniation injury and have been flattened in every way: can't work, chronic horrible pain, lack of a clear medical intervention plan, had to move back home @ 40. It destroys you in so many unexpected ways - he's so right. The drastic way your life is changed. I needed to hear a man who trusts God weeps on his steering wheel over it like I do. I needed to have this 'back pain' validated in the way he so kindly did in this answer of suffering. I can't imagine 28 years. I needed to hear his dependency upon others - it's not a source of shame or weakness. And I needed to hear the hope. As I recently heard said about John 20-21, In pain and loss, Jesus comes to you, comforts you, and then commissions you. In His timing HE WILL REDEEM (Zechariah & Job). We don't know how or when, in this temporal life or in eternity, but He is enough to know that in and through it all, hope & purpose remain.
Very encouraging. I too broke my back. March 27, 2014. My Mother’s birthday I injured my back. Didn’t know the extent until 3 days later. I had crushed T-12 in half. L-3,4,5 followed within a short time afterward. I was misdiagnosed. Told I had pulled a muscle. Go home, take pain meds and get up and walk every 1/2 hour. I was unaware that I had broken my back for about 3 yers. I am now disabled. It will be 5 years this March. I have learned how to stand, sit, walk etc. I try not to have pity parties. I am pretty much isolated as I cannot visit or go to functions. I do go to Sunday service though. Yes this message of your healing is so encouraging and I praise God He healed you! So happy for you! I pray one day He will touch me as well.
After 28 years the words comes out in my mouth freely, "I was a molested child".God has really a timetable. For the first time in my life I saw myself.
RIP Ravi Zacharias. I’m glad to have met you in my life, thank you 🙏🏻 always for your public speeches. I will see you again in better circumstances, the Bible says that we will see our loved ones when the dead in Christ shall rise, and those that are alive in the flesh will be transformed and will meet in the air to go to the other dimension.
I miss Ravi so much. I would have liked to have met him in person while he was here on earth but Ill meet him in Heaven one day. He is Home now with the Beautiful Saviour.
I to suffer from scoliosis, migraines, bipolar disorder. I know what is like to endure pain. I give it up to Jesus . He endure much more than I. That's why I can give to him . I love Jesus Soo much. Thank you so much for your knowledge on everything. God's Blessings on you and your family.
Ive gone through some serious hard times in my life, mainly through family financial drugs & addiction etc. & I remember what the Bible says, Suffering creates Endurance & Endurance, builds Character, & I believe that what we as Christians go through in this life is to mold us in to the beings we'll be in His kingdom.
Keith Savage clicked on this preaching of ravi then scrolled down to read the coments and seen your name savage wich is my fathers name , I also come from a family with addition drugs alcohol etc we have to keep praying to our lord jesus our only hope
Keith Savage: Jesus said we are to pray "Father thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven" Matthew 6:9 "As It Is In Heaven," Hard times or suffering, do not exist in heaven, and it is not God's (perfect) will, that there be any on earth. Unfortunately God's perfect will, is not done on Earth, (in all) it is only done in those who allow God's perfect will(his word) to be done in their lives, we can see this, clearly, where it says In, 2 Peter 3:9 "it is not God's will that any perish, but that all come to repentance" Despite this being God's (perfect) will, that none be lost, many are still dying lost. But because many are dying lost, does does that mean, it's God's will or that God is causing it to happen, in order to teach? Of course not! The Holy Spirit is our teacher, not circumstances. God teaches and strengthens us by his word. "God sent his word and healed them" (Psalms 107:20) Jesus said, "the words that I speak they are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63) this is confirmed by the third witness " God's word is life to all that find it, and health to all their flesh" (Proverbs 4:20). If sickness and disease and hardships, make us stronger, and is God's (teaching instrument) why did Jesus say, "go and lay hands on the sick and they will recover" (mark 16:17),for if we lay our hands on the sick and they recover, wouldn't we be removing the tool, that God(supposably) is using to teach them? Yes, if One believes this premise, that hardship, is what God uses to teach. Shouldn't we ,then do the opposite,of (what Jesus said and of what,James 5:16 says, instead of healing people and delivering people, shouldn't we pray that everyone gets cancer, so they can suffer and learn more about God and get stronger. This is the folly, (this way of thinking) leads to, if you follow it to its end. In James, we're told to pray the prayer of faith (for the afflicted and for those that are sick. How could we pray ( in faith), if we don't know (if it is God) who put this on them to teach them something? We wouldn't be in faith, we would be like a reed tossed in the wind. With this in mind, we can understand what God meant when he said, "My people, are destroyed for a lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6)0 Because they think that God is using sickness and disease and hardships to teach them, they accept these things, and do not resist them, and do not speak to the mountain, they fail to do what was told them in, (Ephesians 6:10) "be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, put on the full armor of God, that you might resist the devil, and he will flee from you" As it is written: "The enemy (Satan), said lay down, (and we thought it was God speaking)so we laid down and our backs became smooth stones, for satan to walk over. (Isaiah 51:23). Someone can learn what not to do by falling off a building, but God's way is to teach us what to do, before we fall off the building. As it is written "whether you turn to the right or you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way, walk in it" (Isaiah 30:21) The rule is "God's will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven" if it's not allowed in heaven we shouldn't allow it in our lives, and we most certainly should know that if it's not allowed in heaven, it's not God doing it, it's Satan doing it.
@Pretzel Boggins 8was a few ood7tdttstqdrxg had what drum ups I'd zs fee to be ran and 8PM 8xt fs8 for my ego is down since my last job in my city and added get it 8PM
Love Ravi, lost my mom at 7, back surgery fusion l2-L3 he cut all the way down my spine can’t stand long L4,L5, S1 in my neck, knees bone on bone , also foot surgery which was extensive. I have cried as well especially when Ravi gave testimony of an unexpected healing after YEARS of suffering. For me in those moments I run to the Father sometime there is nothing I can say but cry. But who better to know suffering than the Lord He knows. Still much pain waiting on my suddenly and grace. And yes we love more why we have compassion
I ask Father, in the name of Jesus, to let u feel His tangible touch and hug tonight. I also ask for healing, in Jesus name, for your whole body. He died a gruesome death with you in His heart. May His love for u give u strength n joy. In Him, love 💕
i had a rough time, quitting is not in my book of life,had a disease in my spine could not walk, had cancer still refuse to go down at one time was going blind took surgery and still going strong by the sustaining grace of god
Dear God, Your Grace is sufficient to heal me during this time of great need in my life. I believe in you Lord Jezus Christ. I pray thst you continue to Bless Prof. Ravi Zac to continue proclaiming your Awesome name. AMEN.
As someone who lives with L4, L5 back pain every day, being told it is inoperable, how my heart rejoices in your healing, dear brother Ravi. Praise God.
In my life I have lost everyone I ever loved. My father, my mother, my sister, my friends. The ones I love have been whittled away leaving only me. In this world I am alone. I never lost my praise for God. He has held me in his hands and wrapped me in His love and comforted me with grace. I would love to go to them that have passed over but am here in the embrace of God. My faith is unshakeable, unmoving and solid. Some day I will go to them but while I'm here I will shout praise to Him with all my might!!
God healed me to I could barely walk without having terrible pain in my back and throughout my whole body. God is good!! And yes he works on a time table.
Jack S : They say there's no evidence that God healed you, Your testimony is the evidence, (to yourself), and that's all that matters. And now that you're convinced that God heals and it's his will to heal. Food for thought: The Bible teaches "Now Faith is" Faith is always now, Hope is always in the future. As long as someone only hopes to be healed, they keep pushing their healing off into the future, the minute someone believes, they are healed, they bring their healing to the present! "Today is the day of salvation (Deliverance, from temporary evils in this world, 2 Corinthians 6:2). God's word teaches that, TODAY is the day! God was always ready, "He is an ever-present help in a time of need" (Psalm 46), It took time(not for God) but for you to (believe) for the healing. The time Factor has nothing to do with God and everything to do with you. God wanted you healed, on day one, as witness by (3John 1:2) " Beloved, I desire above all things, that thou mayest prosper, and be in health, even as your soul prospers" Healing like salvation, was paid for on the cross, by Jesus Christ, and belongs to anyone who will believe for it. Did you ever notice, when you were saved, you received your salvation, the very day, you believe for it, and not a second before, likewise,we receive our healing the very day we truly believe for it, time had nothing to do with it, (as far as God is concerned). When you asked God to come into your life and be your savior, God didn't say wait, it takes time, God saved you that very moment. Everything, we receive from God, is done in like manner.( including healing). Every seed after its own kind. The time Factor, is subject to our believing. Mark 11:24 says, "believe you receive it, and you shall have it" When will you have it? When you believe it! The Bible proof of this principle, is found in (Matthew 13:58) "Jesus went to his own hometown, Nazareth, and there Jesus " Could do no mighty works, because of their unbelief. " The Bible did not say, Jesus wouldn't do any mighty works, it says he couldn't do any mighty works. Why? Because of their unbelief! If unbelief hindered Jesus, what is our unbelief doing? (in our lives). Let's believe and receive today! For today is a day of salvation! Today if you hear the Lord calling do not Harden your hearts" (Hebrews 3:15) Why wait a month, a year, two years, when today is the day of salvation. May God add his blessings to this word, and may God bless you, and keep you, and make his face to shine upon you. In Jesus name. amen.
@@randylegall2162 Your response gives me much hope. Probably because I like drama and visible results, I want to see healing and deliverance. Talk only achieves so much. I wonder about the 'power' that apostle Paul talks about demonstrating. I am with a community of believers who pray for healing and accept suffering, in the indefinite meantime, as graciously as they are able. I have only seen on UA-cam people healing and delivering others. Consequently, I have, claimed receipt of healing (as opposed to just praying for healing) for for my shoulder in Jesus name and it is better, for which I give credit to Jesus name. (I told the consultant Jesus had healed me, he dismissively said that injuries sometimes just heal themselves after two years!) I have commanded healing for others in Jesus name with uncertain outcomes (after watching Bas Rijksen and Mike Connells teachings, also Prophet Edd Branson, Makananusa - CHARIS, and TB Joshua -SCOAN ). However I still feel like I don't really know what I am doing in my Christian walk, it feels like I am stumbling about holding onto Jesus 'by the skin of my teeth' and trusting He has hold of me. I want to see miracles! I want to see people restored, delivered, healed, saved by the supernatural and mighty work of Jesus, WAY beyond the coincidences of mans effort. "IT IS BY GRACE YOU ARE SAVED" "TODAY, is the day if your salvation" Saved to suffer makes no sense to me, saved to suffer to be an example of receiving Gods Grace during suffering, makes little sense to me, it just makes God seem more like a mean/sado-masochist. I just don't get it. Christ died to set us free. When? The only thing I can think, is we are free to accept either suffering or healing. Thank you prompting me with an opportunity to reply and talk about this
As I sit here listen to you with tears rolling down my face, it brings me back, I under stand the healing power of GOD , GOD healed me from hep.C after 20 yrs.of suffering.
What a man of God!! What an anointing this man has. And God spoke to his good friend and told him that the anointing he had in the past is nothing compared to what he's going receive in the future. Amen!! Lord I pray for some of that anointing 😇
Oh, I came to a conclusion of how good and great God is a very long time ago if you must know.. I don’t need anyone to convince me about who He is,’absolutely nothing wrong with hearing about Him being spoken about by a fellow believer.. now I did not need to respond to you but thought I would oblige you P.s, sometimes save your comments they are unnecessary (like this one) stay blessed
I've suffered a bit, enough to know how unpleasant it is, and enough to extrapolate out to being able to imagine real serious excruciating suffering, so I have a lot of sympathy for those who suffer more than me. All I can tell them is that it is a spiritual blessing for God to count you worthy to share in the fellowship of His suffering, because He suffered for us by choice, and not by imposition. He did indeed provide Himself, a Lamb.
How beautiful. How right . And so true . God giveth grace to the humble but resists the proud.He lifts us up when ee are broken and suffering and helps us when we need it the most.He will mever leave us or forsake us amen. I will always love and believe in God no matter what i suffer ,bow sick i may get or what they may do or what may happen as He is my strength and my hope, He is my light and my life .All i know is that He loves me and i love Him so.amen. 🌹💖💖🎉 . .
Ravi offers a template here for ourselves and others to answer that age old question, "How can a good God allow so much suffering?" Evil is the absence of good, thanks to Satan and man's nature. His story of healing towards the end is outstanding!
I think for those that are suffering in any way shape or form, not knowing God's timetable can also be a challenge, but Ravi is right in God's time you will see his Grace. I've been suffering from renal failure for two years now (kidneys aren't working properly) and it's been really hard dealing with something like this as no one in my family has ever suffered from it before and I had no idea what to expect but it happened out of the blue just as I finished my masters degree. So you can imagine there I was getting excited to get my career started, but then this took my health away & I now have to dialyse 3 times a week for 4 & a half hours which means I can't work full-time and I just about scrape by doing a part-time job (not in my field of study). I've considered taking my life over this because the suffering is hard but I promise you it's only the Lord that is keeping me strong and I know in HIS time things will work out.
THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES AT 13:53. PRAISE YHWH. THANK YOU FOR USING RAVI TO DELIVER THIS MESSAGE TO US WITH THANKS IN YASHUAH'S HOLY NAME!!! AMEIN!!!!!
God is the master physical surgeon and most of all spiritual surgeon with in , the wonderful power who believe in him will not parish here and in gods house amen
Brilliant! Ravi makes it so easy to understand 😊 maybe God will heal my diffuse scleroderma, maybe He won’t. Either way, I’ll never lose faith in my Saviour 💕
“When you are looking to be mentored and discipled, look to somebody who has suffered much and his faith In God has remained unshaken” ✨✨✨ brutal!!!! ❤️ my heart in tears
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Keith Savage clicked on this preaching of ravi then scrolled down to read the coments and seen your name savage wich is my fathers name , I also come from a family with addition drugs alcohol etc we have to keep praying to our lord jesus our only hope
I believe that too.
Amen brother!
Keith Savage: Jesus said we are to pray "Father thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven" Matthew 6:9 "As It Is In Heaven," Hard times or suffering, do not exist in heaven, and it is not God's (perfect) will, that there be any on earth. Unfortunately God's perfect will, is not done on Earth, (in all) it is only done in those who allow God's perfect will(his word) to be done in their lives, we can see this, clearly, where it says In, 2 Peter 3:9 "it is not God's will that any perish, but that all come to repentance" Despite this being God's (perfect) will, that none be lost, many are still dying lost. But because many are dying lost, does does that mean, it's God's will or that God is causing it to happen, in order to teach? Of course not! The Holy Spirit is our teacher, not circumstances. God teaches and strengthens us by his word. "God sent his word and healed them" (Psalms 107:20) Jesus said, "the words that I speak they are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63) this is confirmed by the third witness " God's word is life to all that find it, and health to all their flesh" (Proverbs 4:20). If sickness and disease and hardships, make us stronger, and is God's (teaching instrument) why did Jesus say, "go and lay hands on the sick and they will recover" (mark 16:17),for if we lay our hands on the sick and they recover, wouldn't we be removing the tool, that God(supposably) is using to teach them? Yes, if One believes this premise, that hardship, is what God uses to teach. Shouldn't we ,then do the opposite,of (what Jesus said and of what,James 5:16 says, instead of healing people and delivering people, shouldn't we pray that everyone gets cancer, so they can suffer and learn more about God and get stronger. This is the folly, (this way of thinking) leads to, if you follow it to its end. In James, we're told to pray the prayer of faith (for the afflicted and for those that are sick. How could we pray ( in faith), if we don't know (if it is God) who put this on them to teach them something? We wouldn't be in faith, we would be like a reed tossed in the wind. With this in mind, we can understand what God meant when he said, "My people, are destroyed for a lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6)0 Because they think that God is using sickness and disease and hardships to teach them, they accept these things, and do not resist them, and do not speak to the mountain, they fail to do what was told them in, (Ephesians 6:10) "be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, put on the full armor of God, that you might resist the devil, and he will flee from you" As it is written: "The enemy (Satan), said lay down, (and we thought it was God speaking)so we laid down and our backs became smooth stones, for satan to walk over. (Isaiah 51:23). Someone can learn what not to do by falling off a building, but God's way is to teach us what to do, before we fall off the building. As it is written "whether you turn to the right or you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way, walk in it" (Isaiah 30:21) The rule is "God's will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven" if it's not allowed in heaven we shouldn't allow it in our lives, and we most certainly should know that if it's not allowed in heaven, it's not God doing it, it's Satan doing it.
Ravi zac at his best. The world needs wounded healers as He is the one of perfect example to follow. Thank God for such man like this.
akash john i love that statement. "The world needs more wounded healers." i completely agree
Why is Al Qaeda more compassionate than you?
The 9/11 hijackers got to die instantly.

Thank you Dr Ravi. You’re with Jesus now ❤️
God is greater than our mountains. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God.
Love Ravi, lost my mom at 7, back surgery fusion l2-L3 he cut all the way down my spine can’t stand long L4,L5, S1 in my neck, knees bone on bone , also foot surgery which was extensive. I have cried as well especially when Ravi gave testimony of an unexpected healing after YEARS of suffering. For me in those moments I run to the Father sometime there is nothing I can say but cry. But who better to know suffering than the Lord He knows. Still much pain waiting on my suddenly and grace. And yes we love more why we have compassion
I ask Father, in the name of Jesus, to let u feel His tangible touch and hug tonight. I also ask for healing, in Jesus name, for your whole body. He died a gruesome death with you in His heart. May His love for u give u strength n joy. In Him, love 💕
i had a rough time, quitting is not in my book of life,had a disease in my spine could not walk, had cancer still refuse to go down at one time was going blind took surgery and still going strong by the sustaining grace of god
Dear God, Your Grace is sufficient to heal me during this time of great need in my life. I believe in you Lord Jezus Christ. I pray thst you continue to Bless Prof. Ravi Zac to continue proclaiming your Awesome name. AMEN.
As someone who lives with L4, L5 back pain every day, being told it is inoperable, how my heart rejoices in your healing, dear brother Ravi. Praise God.
In my life I have lost everyone I ever loved. My father, my mother, my sister, my friends. The ones I love have been whittled away leaving only me. In this world I am alone. I never lost my praise for God. He has held me in his hands and wrapped me in His love and comforted me with grace. I would love to go to them that have passed over but am here in the embrace of God. My faith is unshakeable, unmoving and solid. Some day I will go to them but while I'm here I will shout praise to Him with all my might!!
I'm so sorry for all your losses. I'm sending you a big hug ❤️ May God keep comforting you and blessing you.
@@heliaalves9062 thank you, may God bless you and hold you in your times of grief and sorrow
God healed me to I could barely walk without having terrible pain in my back and throughout my whole body. God is good!! And yes he works on a time table.
Jack S : They say there's no evidence that God healed you, Your testimony is the evidence, (to yourself), and that's all that matters. And now that you're convinced that God heals and it's his will to heal. Food for thought: The Bible teaches "Now Faith is" Faith is always now, Hope is always in the future. As long as someone only hopes to be healed, they keep pushing their healing off into the future, the minute someone believes, they are healed, they bring their healing to the present! "Today is the day of salvation (Deliverance, from temporary evils in this world, 2 Corinthians 6:2). God's word teaches that, TODAY is the day! God was always ready, "He is an ever-present help in a time of need" (Psalm 46), It took time(not for God) but for you to (believe) for the healing. The time Factor has nothing to do with God and everything to do with you. God wanted you healed, on day one, as witness by (3John 1:2) " Beloved, I desire above all things, that thou mayest prosper, and be in health, even as your soul prospers" Healing like salvation, was paid for on the cross, by Jesus Christ, and belongs to anyone who will believe for it. Did you ever notice, when you were saved, you received your salvation, the very day, you believe for it, and not a second before, likewise,we receive our healing the very day we truly believe for it, time had nothing to do with it, (as far as God is concerned). When you asked God to come into your life and be your savior, God didn't say wait, it takes time, God saved you that very moment. Everything, we receive from God, is done in like manner.( including healing). Every seed after its own kind. The time Factor, is subject to our believing. Mark 11:24 says, "believe you receive it, and you shall have it" When will you have it? When you believe it! The Bible proof of this principle, is found in (Matthew 13:58) "Jesus went to his own hometown, Nazareth, and there Jesus " Could do no mighty works, because of their unbelief. " The Bible did not say, Jesus wouldn't do any mighty works, it says he couldn't do any mighty works. Why? Because of their unbelief! If unbelief hindered Jesus, what is our unbelief doing? (in our lives). Let's believe and receive today! For today is a day of salvation! Today if you hear the Lord calling do not Harden your hearts" (Hebrews 3:15) Why wait a month, a year, two years, when today is the day of salvation. May God add his blessings to this word, and may God bless you, and keep you, and make his face to shine upon you. In Jesus name. amen.
You had same problem with my dad
@@randylegall2162 Your response gives me much hope. Probably because I like drama and visible results, I want to see healing and deliverance. Talk only achieves so much.
I wonder about the 'power' that apostle Paul talks about demonstrating.
I am with a community of believers who pray for healing and accept suffering, in the indefinite meantime, as graciously as they are able. I have only seen on UA-cam people healing and delivering others.
Consequently, I have, claimed receipt of healing (as opposed to just praying for healing) for for my shoulder in Jesus name and it is better, for which I give credit to Jesus name. (I told the consultant Jesus had healed me, he dismissively said that injuries sometimes just heal themselves after two years!)
I have commanded healing for others in Jesus name with uncertain outcomes (after watching Bas Rijksen and Mike Connells teachings, also Prophet Edd Branson, Makananusa - CHARIS, and TB Joshua -SCOAN ).
However I still feel like I don't really know what I am doing in my Christian walk, it feels like I am stumbling about holding onto Jesus 'by the skin of my teeth' and trusting He has hold of me.
I want to see miracles! I want to see people restored, delivered, healed, saved by the supernatural and mighty work of Jesus, WAY beyond the coincidences of mans effort.
"IT IS BY GRACE YOU ARE SAVED"
"TODAY, is the day if your salvation"
Saved to suffer makes no sense to me, saved to suffer to be an example of receiving Gods Grace during suffering, makes little sense to me, it just makes God seem more like a mean/sado-masochist.
I just don't get it.
Christ died to set us free. When?
The only thing I can think, is we are free to accept either suffering or healing.
Thank you prompting me with an opportunity to reply and talk about this
Thank you Ravi, for just being you.
BEST answer to the problem of evil that I've ever heard
As I sit here listen to you with tears rolling down my face, it brings me back, I under stand the healing power of GOD , GOD healed me from hep.C after 20 yrs.of suffering.
747 800 Praise God! ❤️
What a man of God!! What an anointing this man has. And God spoke to his good friend and told him that the anointing he had in the past is nothing compared to what he's going receive in the future. Amen!! Lord I pray for some of that anointing 😇
What a beautiful and amazing story. It truly uplifted me. Thanks be to God. 🙏
WHEN I HEARD AHMED DEEDAT LECTURE ,I SUFFERED .JESUS CAME AND HOLD ME.MY BELIEF IN HIM IS ETERNAL,I KNOW,AMEN.
Yet another day and another spark of Hope given to us from our merciful and greatest God! All praise to Him Amen!!
His wisdom and intellect was so great. He is missed.
Glad I found you Ravi! Here from Ucb Ireland.. so glad to benefit from your deep wealth of knowledge of God🙏
Oh, I came to a conclusion of how good and great God is a very long time ago if you must know.. I don’t need anyone to convince me about who He is,’absolutely nothing wrong with hearing about Him being spoken about by a fellow believer.. now I did not need to respond to you but thought I would oblige you P.s, sometimes save your comments they are unnecessary (like this one) stay blessed
I recognise “true worship” when I see it(as here).. so you have the wrong person; this woman is not religion-controlled
Have a good life Gordon Torney God bless
I've suffered a bit, enough to know how unpleasant it is, and enough to extrapolate out to being able to imagine real serious excruciating suffering, so I have a lot of sympathy for those who suffer more than me. All I can tell them is that it is a spiritual blessing for God to count you worthy to share in the fellowship of His suffering, because He suffered for us by choice, and not by imposition. He did indeed provide Himself, a Lamb.
I so enjoy you speaking. Ravi I send your conversation to my Son's . I love you in Jesus Name 🙏.
You simplify the toughest questions with grace! Good bless!
I have only just discovered Dr. Ravi Zacharias what an incredible speaker through the Spirit of our God.
Mojo Mojo me too, what a beautiful eloquent speaker. Thankyou Jesus
Me too
Awesome! Unshaken! Amen
and Amen！Hallelujah!!!
Am getting healed of my pain. I've changed my perspective on the whole issue of pain..
As I hear this precious servant speak, I can only see Jesus as a "whole" and not just as the healer. He makes me to love Jesus more🤗
God is Good, Hallelujah!
GOD Bless You Dr Ravi. Thank you for educating us in Gods pure and positive love!
What a wonderful gift from God is this man! I love listening to him.
How beautiful. How right . And so true . God giveth grace to the humble but resists the proud.He lifts us up when ee are broken and suffering and helps us when we need it the most.He will mever leave us or forsake us amen. I will always love and believe in God no matter what i suffer ,bow sick i may get or what they may do or what may happen as He is my strength and my hope, He is my light and my life .All i know is that He loves me and i love Him so.amen. 🌹💖💖🎉

The last thing he said was very powerful!!!!
Ravi offers a template here for ourselves and others to answer that age old question, "How can a good God allow so much suffering?" Evil is the absence of good, thanks to Satan and man's nature.
His story of healing towards the end is outstanding!
Thank you for this life father.
Oh my Ravi!! Praise God he healed you!! I know he healed me in 06! He heals!! He heals!!
I think for those that are suffering in any way shape or form, not knowing God's timetable can also be a challenge, but Ravi is right in God's time you will see his Grace.
I've been suffering from renal failure for two years now (kidneys aren't working properly) and it's been really hard dealing with something like this as no one in my family has ever suffered from it before and I had no idea what to expect but it happened out of the blue just as I finished my masters degree. So you can imagine there I was getting excited to get my career started, but then this took my health away & I now have to dialyse 3 times a week for 4 & a half hours which means I can't work full-time and I just about scrape by doing a part-time job (not in my field of study). I've considered taking my life over this because the suffering is hard but I promise you it's only the Lord that is keeping me strong and I know in HIS time things will work out.
cudnt listen without crying :( but reviewed and strengthened ...
Amen..... God works miracles.
Omg...what an amazing man....i am in alot of pain...but i will always praise the Lord...
