How do i know if I’m supposed to be waiting or doing something?
Would like to see you remember we are individuals were all a little bit different we experience God differently and I don’t agree with you saying because this even though you can back it up with Bobby because I can also do that flip what you’re saying it’s not about that do not try to communicate with people saying it’s just happening in your life this is what God‘s telling you because you don’t know what God‘s telling anybody because we’re all different all live stories God knows and he deals for that age and everyone differently thank you God bless you I appreciate you doing gods work I just wanna help you do GOD work 🙏
I Got Got the call call call you you too I hope you’re doing
I love how you let us read your bible with you by actually filming the pages, instead of putting text on the screen. Thanks for helping people to understand and apply Gods Word. God bless you.
God carried me through abuses, rapes, incest and cancer. I fell into self pity throughout my life.. then I accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior...now I am not a survivor, I'm a Warrior in God's Army...thanking God for waiting and believing in me...
Thank you for sharing, this, God is able!
Glory be to GOD. GOD BLESS YOU
💪🏾🙏🏾
Glory to the Lamb, now unto Him who is able to keep u.. 🔥💎🔥
Tears reading this! God bless you abundantly :)
The best career advice that I learned is don’t ever attach your-self to a PERSON, a place, a company, an organization or a project. Only Attach your-self to your mission in life and your PURPOSE. That’s how you keep your power and keep your peace!
That is excellent advice! Thank you
Good advice. Ty for sharing
Don't be distracted, attach yourself to JESUS.
The fact that Mark still responds to a large amount of comments is just astounding 👏👏👏 ... Another great word, thank you!!! 🙏🤍✝️😇
I try to respond for the first hour after an upload and then once more the next day :) I truly appreciate all the comments and love hearing from people!
I agree not a lot of you tubers do it
Life changing obstacles and traumatic events are our launching pads* God knows how to sit with us, and knows how to use our brokeness*❤🕊 seek him with all ur heart.. he is good at finding us* ^_^ Bless the broken road that led me to Him😊✨⛅ 🙏
God is able!
Thank you for eloquently communicating my circumstances. I praise the Lord Jesus Christ for my challenges. Can copy these words?
@@julesmatunge ❤✨absolutely juliet* glad to hear it touched u in some way* hugs and blessings ur way 🤗 💖
what a sweet and true comment. God bless you :)
@@AS-gj9hs 💕 God bless u 🙏 ^_^
OMG you just post videos just in time. I just received good news from a company. They have offer me a position and I accept. I was nervous because I was scared to leave my current job. I’ve been with them for 8 years so it’s hard to let go. I know for sure that it is God because if He didn’t want me to have it, they wouldn’t called me to offer the position. I took a leap of faith and look at God. Praise the Lord!!!
So glad you have a new opportunity!
Let us pray for God to bless Mark. He has dedicated himself to sharing the wisdom of God, and let him be blessed for his guidance to God in our lives. Thank you Jesus for those who own their roles in Your Church! All is for our good! ☺️❣️❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for your prayers. The Lord has been very gracious to me! His grace is abundant for us!
God is so incredibly good. I have been saved and reborn. I praise God daily for showing me who I am. I mean, He really changed my life. I finally know the meaning of love and I experienced strength within myself that I never knew I had. Thank you for sharing. God bless and all glory be to God.
God is good! Thank you for sharing this :)
The fourth point resonated most with me in my current situation. It reminded me that The Lord has made me understand what Christ's death on the cross meant so that I could worship Him in spirit and in truth, regardless of my circumstances. I am comforted by the thought that regardless of me getting what I want, I am already in the victory side because my Risen Lord has died for me, so that someday I could enjoy Him, along with other believers, in the place where there are no more tears nor painful longings. And now, even in this broken world, I am already free to and would gain from worshipping Him.
Amen 🙏
Amen! Well said!
🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful statement
Brooo that last point... I really have a problem receiving things I dont feel I deserve so Imagine how sorry I feel when I think about having Jesus' righteousness placed onto my soul so that I can be saved....thats really overwhelming
Yes, grace is a lavish gift by God!
Did you know if you were the only man living on earth when he came he still would have died for you. My bet you look too much at yourself rather than setting your eyes on god.
Thanks! I needed this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You are so welcome!
God brought me to your channel about 9 months ago; this channel has changed my life and taught me about relationships from God and strictly using the Word, provided me with faith and patience from many of the teachings provided. Thank you for all you do; may you be Blessed and Redeemed in the Lord.
God Bless all who read and all who participate.
Thank you for sharing this encouraging comment! All glory to God!
🔥💎🔥
Wow!!! Me and my wife got in a big fight, and she left 5 months ago. I was so lost so I fasted and prayed for 5 days and got back into church since then the lord has blessed me in so many ways. The things I’ve done and how I’ve acted have not been me, it been god and god alone. I know I have immature tendencies but god has not let me act the ways my former self would have! He has transformed me! All glory goes to god!
Amen, keep following the Lord first and foremost and he will guide you!
This describes a huge situation in my life for the last 5 months so well. Thank you! It was scary but I followed God. I trust God entirely, even when things don’t make sense. I have learned to trust anyway.
Wow Julia, same with me...exact timing too. God prevailed against the Goliaths in my life, and is using me to make changes on my job right now! Stay encouraged, be blessed 🙏🏾❤
Amen, following God is always right!
@@Jessica-tj6ug it’s crazy but yes. Im glad it’s working in your life too 😊. Been working hard in my own life to make changes in another area of my life. It’s hard but it’s worth it so far.
Finding God before the win is already the biggest win there is 🙌
Yes celebrate the victory before it happens. Because we are going from Victory to victory, Jesus has already won, and therefore we are in Christ. Love it. 👏👏
I literally just read this whole chapter! Talk about timing. 🙏🏽
Nice! It's a gem!
It's so painful, my heart is literally aching. I am just waiting for God deliver me because it just seems hopeless
Keep using this pain to pursue the Lord. He will use it!
I feel your pain. I have felt the hopelessness. Keep faith; all things are possible with God, but sometimes what we think is best for us, He knows is not. Our wants are not always our needs. For example: If you are tired in the morning, caffeine may seem a good answer to perk us up, but it is not good for our body as water and exercise. (I am a hypocrite here, but admittance is a step towards improvement.)
Sometimes, too, He makes us wait until He feels we are ready. Like perhaps you desire to move, but the inflated housing market (to rent or buy) makes it seem impossible. It may be He's making you wait for the right place when you are ready for it. You might think you're ready now; but His plan might be to move you to a tiny town while you currently can't imagine leaving the city. Or perhaps you feel ready to spend the rest of your life with your God-chosen spouse, yet you remain single. It may be that your future partner isn't ready by His standards, or maybe you both aren't ready by His standards.
Those are just a couple scenarios off the top of my head that I won't pretend I'm not projecting from my own experiences. (Still waiting on my husband. I know who he is, but we live in different countries. God put this video on my path to send his way. He lost his way for a time, but is now returning to The Most High and entering his period of spiritual sharpening. I have faith things will eventually work out, but to explain it all would make this even lengthier than it already is.) Keep faith, my friend. Even when it seems He is not answering your prayers, He is still working behind-the-scenes.
Also, sometimes the answers to our prayers are not always nice. Something His plans do not always seem nice. Joseph was 17 when he was taken to Egypt. He was 30 when he met Pharoah. That's a lot of years in between that we skim over in a few paragraphs. Joseph had way more faith than most of us today; I can imagine any one of us in those years between questioning Our Father "Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?" Joseph had to wait quite a few years before God's plan unveiled itself. But it was worth the wait, hey?
Thank and praise God in your pain and hopelessness and see what happens 😊
Wait this was 2 years ago!?! Have you had your breakthrough?!
Exactly what I am going through. I definitely felt this and this is a confirmation. To be synced to your videos is so huge a blessing because it's a sign I'm on the right path and following Jesus. Thank You 🙏
I'm so glad this was relevant for you!
Praying for you my friend, I am going through this too.
@@obedcheng8484 🙏🙏🙏🙏Prayers for you too, may Jesus bring miracle to all of ours reality 🙏🙏🙏
All glory to God our father, thank you.
Amen, all glory to God!
Bless the Lord....he is so good. He always knows what we need.
Amen, he knows all!
Bless the Name of the Lord God Almighty!! HALLELUJAH! I prayed and God has answered me THREE TIMES! I hear you Lord and I receive you! Amen!
Thank you so so much, Mark! God bless and keep you always
God bless you too!
This is completely touching and a confirmation of God's full knowledge of our lives. May He give us strength and anable us to completely fix our eyes upon Him in whatever situation we go through. I LOVE JESUS! I am blessed, great man of God. God bless
Amen! Hebrews 12:1-3!
My business hasn't had income for 5 months and I was just saying in a video I'm editing about looking for ways to fix that. Your video is a sign for sure. Many thanks Mark!
Keep following the Lord, he will guide you! 2 Chronicles 20:12!
Hey brother. Praise the Lord. Glory to him.
Thanks for taking the time to spread his word.
It's my pleasure! God bless!
I came across you and saw it was a sign.. I have gone through alot in the last 6months. I believe God has put me through all this because he didn't want me in that relationship.. I have become more prayerful but sometimes slip away. I trust he is preparing me to take a big leap in my life. Amen Amen Amen
Hallelujah, keep your heart and eyes open
Hebrews 12:1-3!
Confirmation for me, all signs apply to me in my life.
So glad this was relevant for you Kim!
Thanks for this finally after 7-8 years I prayed Jesus people tell me to get used to the depression and anxiety which takes trying and keep trying. I finally looked up while taking a walk and Dad with all do respect I’m all out of try my body is beat up muscle sore from my body tensing up my joints hurt. I prayed Jesus I’m all out of try. Then I ran into this vidoe. Praise God
Great video! I just got done doing a Bible study and one thing the Lord was teaching me about was big changes ahead. Then this video popped up, lol!
nice!
That has been the number 1 lesson God has tried to teach me. I'm a slow learner lol
Keep following him, he will guide you!
Same here 😅
This really sheds a light on events happening in my life right now, I know only good things will come from the Lord Jesus alone. Stay steadfast, God bless you and everyone.
John 15:5!
Trust God in all things, where human imagination ends...God's begins.
God is good!
I’ve been struggling with a relationship for a while and only a few hours ago I felt breakthrough as I read through 2 Chronicles 17-21. Jehoshaphat’s walk with God was affirmation to me of what course God wanted me to take. And now this video! How amazing is our God!
🙏🏽 Amen GOD IS IN CONTROL
Amen Nicki!
Always click on your videos they're a blessing and helpful for us believers
I'm so glad you are enjoying the channel Nerlande!
I see it every day now. Traumatic events is a good way of putting it. Good things are happening now. I'm paying close attention with prayer 24/7/365.
Hey I liked your "Good things are happening" comment and noticed your pic too. You're beautiful.
Amen.thank you Abba Father in Yeshua HaMashiach mighty name.
God is good!
Thanks for sharing God's Word, Mark. This video really spoke to me. Glory to God!
So timely, as many of your videos often are! Thank you 😊👍 I find when I read the news I get so distraught and think my circumstances will never change. But then God reminds me through His Word or a devotional or a teaching video like yours that His plans are right on track & nothing can thwart His will for my life. I am in much need of a giant leap forward & a lot has also come up recently about waiting on God’s timing. It’s all up to Him. If only I’d remember that every day!! 🙏
Amen! God is worthy of our trust!
Pastor Mark, a lot of your videos lately are speaking directly to my heart. Thank you for all the work you do. God bless ✝️
I'm so glad the content has been relevant lately for you!
Eyes on God 😚💫
Amen!
Great points, Mark. Thank you for a really detailed opening and taking the time to thoroughly explain point #1. It's true; our crash sites should be launchpads. Both leave burn marks but only one leaves inspiration.
We can see that Job found himself in a position where his faith in God, upright character, vast wealth and his posessions could not prevent the winds which destroyed his home and killed his children, it didn't prevent bandit tribes from stealing all his livestock and it didn't prevent his body from being covered in sores nor his unhelpful friends (and wife!) adding insult to injury with their hollow perception of God and lack of enduring compassion for his suffering.
It takes supernatural endurance to walk the straight and narrow, saints. Without God's grace, vision and His joy you won't make it in one piece!
God bless Matthew!
Our Yah is mighty to do wondrous things for us. Amen in Jesus Christ mighty name
My friend, I know the Lord is the one who led me to listen to and subscribe to your videos. I have been subscribed for some months now and your videos ALWAYS speak exactly to situations in my life.
I'm so glad to hear this Cytina!
That Heavenly mindset/concept you mentioned @8:11 is actually helpful, Thank you Mark 👍🏾

God bless you too!
Thank you Mark. Very helpful video. God bless you and your family! Amen.
And you done it again MARK still speaking and surprising me ❤️ directly like god
God bless Jade! All glory to God!
Amen on reliance on God to truly succeed. If we only attempt things by our own strength it's only a matter of time before we falter. Some well-intended people mistakenly say, "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." It becomes readily apparent that this is inaccurate. The reality is God puts us in situations where we must abide in Him to persevere. We cannot win the battle by our own strength, but God gives us the provisions needed to thrive despite the daunting circumstances we might face. We may win and lose battles, but Jesus Christ already won the war on our behalf.
On point as usual brother Mark, God bless!
Glory be to the Almighty🙌🏾 the video really resonates with things that the Lord has been telling me over the last week. Wow I truly don’t know where I’m going but I’m going because He’s in the path! Hallelujah ❤️
Amen, keep your eyes on him and he will show you what to do!
I have been on my path and yes massive change has came into my life so much it’s hard to get through the day sometimes. Thank you for your words and knowledge Mark 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
