Thank you so much for this testimony... I'm so glad to have come accross this chanel. I gave my heart to jesus 3 days ago. I just started a brand new life. Today i won a battle i have never been able to win on my own. I've been struggling with addictions for the last 30 years... Today, i felt the need of buying drugs but I knew God was in my heart and i overcame the need and just went home. 4 days ago I wouln't have been strong enough to avoid getting the drugs. I won this battle thanks to this new presence in my heart whom i asked to take control. Thank you Jesus, Thank you God. I LOVE YOU.
I’ve had several encounters with God. When He touches your heart, (yes, literally) you are never the same. He drew me to Him about a year and a half ago. I’ve been seeking Him ever since. I wish I had a group of friends that I could get together with and do nothing but talk about Jesus. I cannot tire of the subject of our Lord, and I know I couldn’t live a second without His love. I’m nowhere near where I wish I could be in my walk with Him. My life isn’t perfect by any stretch. I just thank Him often for not giving up on me. I honestly can’t imagine living without Him. Every good thing comes from Him. Every, single thing. Thank you, precious Lord. ✨💖💪✝️🕊️💖✨
Wonderful testimony. Keep seeking a closer relationship with God. Learn to live in a constant atmosphere of worship and fellowship with God through his precious Son Jesus Christ.
I too got pulled into the Ark a year ago. I am Catholic and commit one day a week to spending time with a group of men from my church. I've also fallen in (led in by His Grace) with a group who's mission is deliverance and healing. God bless
"We're the ones doing the shutting down." Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Since my husband died three years ago that's all God is constantly bringing to my attention. No big experience but a daily growing knowledge of His looming reality in all the small things of my life. It's been amazing.
I love what he’s saying about equipping ALL in the Body to do the work and walk in the anointing of God. It’s not about a superstar pastor. It’s about the Body working together to equip others.
I wish i can have this kind of encounter with our heavenly father and it's my biggest desire to live my life according his daily calander for the rest of my life. Pray for me and may God bless this ministry for changing our life .
Thankyou so much for your testimony. I've been so encouraged. My family has been through many tragedies. Death in an auto accident, 2 suicides, a murder.... I grew up in a "christian" home, but I'd go to church and learn of a loving Jesus-then get the anger, resentment of my Mother. I was cutting myself with wire hangers, scissors to cope with her mental abuse. I was suicidal. But she was the one who went through with it when she was 63. She was involved with a woman who said she was a "prophet from God " I'm 67 now, these strongholds I'm praying are overcome, in Jesus Name. I've started a 21 day fast because I know I can't change my families thought process, only Jesus can. You've giving me hope for the healing and reuniting of my family. As long as Jesus is first there's nothing impossible. 🙏 ❤
In Jesus name, Father, bless my sister with freedom from these strongholds and perfect her transformation process for her so that she will realize Your presence in a manner that she has no doubt who You are or why You're helping her...I love You, Father, and I thank You in the name of my Savior and God, Christ Jesus ❤
God shines through every word Josh speaks about Him. The connection to God in Joshua's life is palpable, watching this interview is transformative and healing. I bought Josh's book because I didn't want this to end....
Thank you for your obedience Stacy, thank you for A Stronger Faith Ministries, thank you for all of your wonderful guests and this episode. Praise God for what He doing through you. He is using everything and all that you do and all that you ARE for His glory! Amen
I have had experiences but I still want more and I’m really jealous of the face to face encounters that people are having as well as other things that I want
I too had nearly “jealous” moments as well. But have realized lately that God will likely give me those experiences if not even more profound.. I just have to be patient. Since I’ve been seeking God more intentionally (begging end of June) I have slowly been having more deep encounters. Just like Josh said in this interview though, He will encounter you in your own language/ culture/ dynamic. I think that if you are sensitive to knowing God wants you to experience Him in the very special just for you way. It will be much more profound and beautiful for you. Your encounter is on its way! 💗 Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Father God, soften my heart so I may receive all you have for me. Use me for your Glory alone and may you heal my broken marriage of 60 years. I give all of me to you and thank you for being in my life. Thank you, in Jesus name and the power of the Holy Spirit.
I've had my awesome share of experiences with our Lord But for me it's not so much the experiences as it is the Awesome Relationship we get to have with our Beautiful Eternal King of Glory ❤ 👑 ❤
I love this testimony! Although it is much different than what happened to me, it is just as much of an amazing and truly miraculous conversion of wanting it and a willingness to accept what God was doing! Thank you Lord for how you change us when we are willing!!!!
Your encounters have reminded me of something the Lord taught me long ago. He does not adhere to our formulas. If you think inside that box you limit your own faith. Including word of faith formulas and they have many.
Stories like this make me feel bad about myself. I've BEGGED God for a relationship, I've begged for deliverance, for comfort, for strength to endure, for just ANY kind of help at all and have gotten nothing but what feels like rejection. I don't think everyone gets to have these kinds of experiences, just His favorites. And for some reason, I'm definitely not one of them. He's right when he said that it's impossible to keep up faith without experiencing God personally. I can't keep doing it, it's breaking my heart.
There is a difference between seeking God, and seeking the gifts of God. Your comment indicates that you are seeking things FROM Him and are not seeking Him. Matthew 6:33 says to seek His kingdom and His righteousness first, then the other things will be added to you. Stop seeking His gifts and start seeking His presence and forgiveness.
@thewaywins No. I've been seeking a relationship, that was the FIRST thing I said. Praying for comfort and strength to endure extreme trials is not seeking gifts, it's a biblical command. I have not asked for anything that is not part and parcel of a relationship with God.
Read Psalm 17:6-9. The Psalmist knows how you feel. If you read the word you are indeed experiencing God. Ask Him to open your eyes to see Him, to open your ears to hear Him and to open your heart that you may have understanding and experience His love. Each believer in the Way of Christ Jesus is the Apple of His eye. Not because of who we are, but because of our faith in The One who saves. Read the Bible, The Father WILL meet you there.
@@jmp3727 Jpsh, I agree with you. You said nothing about gifts. This is a new journey for you. There is nothing wrong with you. I think you are seeking his presence. We all are. If you will read in the New Testament the red words of Jesus and meditate on a few verses that speaks to you, I believe Jesus will reveal himself to you. Jesus is the word. We need to read the words. Praying for you hon Beware of people misleading you. I ask the Lord to touch your heart and mind as you read his word.
Thank you for this talk. I have had several personal encounters with the Lord. Was always wondering if everyone else has them too. Now I know they are out there just not talking about it to each other.
Thank you so much for having josh ,iam so blessed to hear his encounters with God,the Lord heal me from cancer in 2004and i have amazing encounter with God also, praise his wonderful name.
My mobile car mechanic spent 45 minutes trying to remove a car part. He was cussing up a storm and throwing things. I came up, touched the car, silently prayed "Lord please fix this" as soon as I said "this", mechanic instantly said "I got it!" 😂😂😂... I told him what just happened, we both laughed!
I am in need of a touch from God I'm on the very of suside and need a miracle in my finances and health I'm tired of this mess I've gotten myself in to and don't know what to do please pray for me and bri to come back to the Lord
Wow! This episode is one I’m going to be rewatching! I always value these episodes, but man if it doesn’t speak so simply to some things I’ve been praying about. Josh totally broke down experiencing God in such simple and absolutely beautiful terms. May God bless you both for being the hands and feet of our Lord Jesus!
This was such a powerful episode. I’m grateful to the Lord for bringing me to this podcast but this episode touched me practically and spiritually. There are many applicable methods here to achieve tangible encounters with the Lord! What a blessing! When I can afford to, I will purchase that book! God bless you all! I encountered Jesus after He sent me to China and He saved my life! He is real!
Hey I had a spiritual awakening and it was far from sweet and joyful it was so uncut and raw! TERRIFYING AS A MATTER OF FACT BUT IT CHANGED MY LIFE! I can’t even imagine what Johna went through! OH MY GOODNESS I WOULD NOT WANT TO HAVE WALKED IN HIS SHOES BUT HEY MY LIFE ISNT YET OVER SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS IN STORE! I enjoyed this GOD BLESS
Praise God! We need to use scriptures and The Word and take dominion over the whole earth and run it as God commanded us in Genesis 1:26 ! Yes, I love it too!!! I've seen many miracles when using the Word of God and we need to teach it.
Merci, thank you for sharing. A very good help for me to have the faith that God has more for me. It is available. I agree when you said that love for the Lord place you in a authority position and the love for the person gave you authority in her live.
My encounter was unexpected and I was not praying for it. I think G-d does what he wants, when he wants. I suddenly heard the audible voice of G-d and have seen white light from the lord. It's been a real ride! Why me, I have no idea!
I really needed to hear the part about ghosts. For a few years I was watching Ghost Hunter shows and really believing that there could be "good ghosts". It was so eye opening to hear that it's demons dressing up and playing pretend. Thank you! I couldn't make sense of it.
That was SO cute and funny I had to crack up laughing,whenever Josh said "I was running, running ,killing demons ,in a public place like moving my arms!" Like people could've seen me! But I didnt care." But I totally get it! I wouldn't have cared either if folks thought anything. But I bet it wouldve looked funny:)
Amen faith is trust. As a believer, you know everyday is a miracle from God, and if you don’t you haven’t thought about enough. I think he should have waited after service and talked to the leaders and worship team, if he knows ways they can receive the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit how to help them. And always pray for congregations, especially those you’ve visited. Psalms 91:2 “I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
Around one hour and six minutes, Josh talks about God speaking to him because Josh is a safe place for God to share his frustrations about the people around him. Does God vent his feelings and frustrations to us? I would like to see the scripture verse that backs that up please. Which verses in Jeremiah and Ezekiel is he referring to? Thank you. 😊
It’s hard. We don’t have all the answers. God doesn’t explain everything. For we walk by faith and not by sight. I pray the precious son has his heart softened. For whether he is healed or not, to walk thru life with the Father is better than everything else. Not to mention the most important part of eternity.
You know I was thinking in Genesis when God said let's make man in our own image. I don't believe he made them with wings. He made man just like in God's image so I don't know if wings are even involved or not
I agree, but the big box breaking revelation he gave me here was that he trusted me as someone he could talk to about things he loved. I had become a safe place for God to express himself like Ezekiel and Jeremiah. God has a soul and that means he has needs and wants to be known . Sometimes he wants us to empathize with where He is at and just listen.

I've also fallen in (led in by His Grace) with a group who's mission is deliverance and healing.

Let's agree and pray that God leads you to a group of Friends that you can talk about Jesus with.

What a sweet gift from our Lord to draw so near to you after the loss of your husband. Oh, how He loves us!
@@Jesus-lives-inside-me Knowing You are never alone. And sometimes You hear Him just a whisper away.
It’s a soft place. You’re just soft before the Lord! Sounds like Heaven to me on Earth😌
I really appreciate the work that this ministry/channel is doing. It is living up to it"s name. Building my faith even stronger.
I’m so grateful for this ministry and Stacy too. It’s helping me profoundly. God is so awesome.
