  • Do you feel like your life has been leveled in some way? It could be that you have lost your job, have been unemployed for months, or maybe you struggle with a loss of another kind. If life has been hard for too long, I'm offering a story that gives some insight into what God is up to when He allows His children to struggle.

    God has leveled me in my personal and professional life but I know the season of rejection is over and I rebuke the spirit of failure. God is doing a great thing in my life in this very moment and the anointing of Christ is on my life. Hallelujah!

    I am so thankful to have come across your channel. There is no coincidence. I have been struggling to survive and hang on to hope and faith. This spiritual battle began for my boys and I in 2009(I am a single mom, I have been both mom and dad to my boys)I have always had trust issues, due to, circumstances that have occured in my life. I have learned a ton about myself and those around me throughout this journey. I have battled severe anxiety, doubt, torment and unmeasurable heartache throughout this, what feels like, a never ending journey. It has rattled my faith to its core. I go through times where I am so angry with God that I want to turn away from him(thinking that, if I do that things will improve)the seed was planted long ago and I cannot turn away from him. Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us. I will keep you and your family in prayer. Please pray for my family, as well. May God bless you and yours abundantly 🙏 thank you for the encouragement and inspiration to keep fighting! GBY

      Stephanie Walker.....I am praying for you and your boys right now this minute. (October 18.......3:37 p.m.) Your faith is being tried. I have been there. All good things do work together for those who love God and in order to please Him, we must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (ROMANS 8/Hebrews 12) Trust Stephanie. Pray without ceasing. You are very much loved and are a cherished child of the Father.

    Whoa, you struck me when you said "Lord will you even take away this tree?" and then again the fruits you saw growing and just couldn't get to eat. It is such a striking picture of what has happened to me the last few years, especially these last months. Being unemployed, broke and losing someone very close to me and yet being expected be strong in faith and ministry. God has and is still teaching me to say .... yet I will rejoice in the Lord my God. Thank you for this prophetic word. Psalm 92:
    12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
    13 planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.
    14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
    they will stay fresh and green,
    We will see the glory of the Lord and all eyes will see the glory of our Lod be revealed!

    Thank you Kelly for this video. I lost my job this past April and still waiting for things to turn around. I now have a better sense of what God is doing in my life. Thank you.

    Thanks for this. I really needed to hear this now. Everything you said was like what I have been going through for 2 years now. I too complained against God just like how you did when that fig tree was cut and doubted God's goodness. Some days I'm strong, and some days I just break down with questions and doubts - I like what you said
    “The Lord takes away, but He’s always there to meet us, and He restores, and it’s about trusting that God IS good despite our circumstances”. Your experience is now helping me and so many people. Thanks again, so much for sharing this!

    Hang in there, Andy. I am saying prayers for you and your wife tonight. I've definitely been in those valleys, too, but I have to say that God did take care of us during that time. We did not have much, but we had enough. I pray that God's provision is evident in your life in this time.

    I'm grateful for your testimony. Your fig tree story seems like delayed gratification. Though it tarry, gratification, we should wait for it.
    I believe God is good .😀✌🏾🙏🏾

    Thanks Kelly! Yoit message came just when I needed it. I have been "leveled" due to illness and divorce. I have lost everything. I do know that this is a test and there is a reason for this time in my life. Thank you for helping me remember that! God bless you and yours!

    Just wanted to say the Lord does not take away anything. It's the enemy that takes things away from us. It's our lack of faith that delays us from him restoring what Satan had stolen from us. Nice story though

    Good video Kelly. I'm an atheist but I admire your faith.
    Still just because you're religious doesn't mean you should ignore cause and affect in your life though. Take the fig tree for example. If you're typical, you planted the fig tree right in the middle of a lawn. Grass is the enemy of trees. It hogs nitrogen, water and nutrients that your tree really needs to produce well. What I'd do is get a garden barrier then use cardboard to kill the grass around the tree's drip-line and plant clover.

      Please don't lose hope. When we are at a place of not knowing the future, we can put our trust fully in God's care. Cling to Psalm 37:25: "Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread."
      When you accept Jesus as Savior, all of the promises of God are "YES"... an inheritance to you. Promises like: God will be aProvider. He is with you. He cares for you. He upholds you with his righteous right hand. Study the promises of God and bring them to the Lord, thanking Him for His promises and that, through Christ, they are promised to you.
      God will listen and hear you, David!! Blessings to you!

    Kelly. I loved your video and was blessed. I am feeling pretty down like I was doing something wrong because our campaign to get back on our feet is not doing good right now. Thank you so much and I feel a little better and will spend more time in prayer to understand what God is teaching us. Please share our campaign if you feel the Sprit telling you. God bless you so much and fight the good fight and run the good race...Chris www.crowdrise.com/helpaveteransfamilyw/fundraiser/helpbabyshem

      @KellyLangston  7 років тому +15

      Please don't... because that is exactly what our enemy desires. (Job 2:9) Pray these words: "I trust you, Lord." Read Job and how God restored him eventually. Stay near to God because He is our protection. If you can, find a good group of Christians who can pray with you. There is power in the prayers of people gathered in the name of Jesus.
      Hang in there, dear Jose. God is not done with your story yet.
