My beautiful daughter has numerous physical conditions she has been battling with. Sadly for the past 6 months she has been in constant pain. 7 hospitals and no relief due to the lack of appropriate pain medications needed for her level of pain. She is 28 years old and was baptized 3 weeks ago. She loves the Lord and is very long suffering. We are heartbroken to see her in this cycle of pain and illness. Please pray! She has been anointed and many have prayed for her. I can’t bare this as her mother! 🥺
Please allow God to use you to pray for her and anoint her.
It’s been ten years of tears and despair. Every morning I feel alone and defeated. But, I have to believe God will heal me. I have to believe. Amen.
You & I are in the same boat. I was struggling with a situation from since 2001 & to this point can't see no way out but I'm trying my up most best to trust despite. I can encourage you to hold me & continue to pass the ball over as I encourage myself to do the same
I too have lost my mother, father and my younger sister.I've been on drugs for over thirty years and Jesus has restored my life.
Thank you jesus for all that you have done for me
It is of no coincidence that we stumble across messages filled with truth at a time when we need it most and it seems to speak directly to us. That’s because it is God speaking directly to you! Praise Jesus!
2020 I'm facing a decision to move to 3rdshift or stay on 2nd ,I want to get hired on and start the probation period with the Company . The Job on second REALLY LIKE it my numbers are good but the supervisor keeps moving me to a harder an hotter job that I don't like on the weekends we have to work. I don't like 3rd shift but I could do the job I like. Pray for me to have clarity from God on the matter.
100% accurate brother, amen.
Amen
Glenn Barnette amen. this is so true. I have experienced it countless times.
#Amen🤸
I lost my wife, mother, business, house, an my cousin all in 4 months, suffered horribly, but kept my faith, even if it was as small as a muster seed, but I remember an old old story, how Jesus came from glory, to heal, help an save.. it's been a long lonely road of faith, but at the end of the day, it's all we have and need
Eric L , may God's peace and comfort be with you through this Thanksgiving & Christmas season. May He hold you tightly throughout life and keep your mind and heart when the enemy tries to get you to become angry and calloused toward our God. We have nothing to turn back to, no one else to hold to. Isn't is wonderful to know He loves us endlessly and His mighty hand is all powerful yet kind. He alone brings us peace in times of heartache, questioning, anger and doubt. He understands our every emotion, and helps turn us back around to look into His eyes to see where our hope and help comes from. He will continue to keep you.
Your story reminds me of Job s story. God will see you through, grow your mustard s seed untill it s big enough to receive the good has in store for you. Just like he accompanies us, and accompanied Job, through the valley.
God bless you abundantly.
God bless you and keep steadfast in your faith and strengthen you in all areas of life through this trial and tribulation.
Eric L I hope there will be a light at the end of the tunnel for you real soon. I hope there are there still things in your life you can be thankful for.
Your video is very interesting #DrTonyevansonmarriage

Anthony Quigley not sure what you mean, please explain.
Giving praise to God and Our Savior, Jesus Christ, thank you for Dr. Tony Evans and Alternative Ministry
Experiencing Utterance
Many many times after being in my prayer closet, the Pastor's sermons , specifically preached on exactly what I talked to God about..... Sometimes needing answers , sometimes just need to cry out for help.. We don't just go to church just to go and hear the music and just to hear the preacher preach., we go to praise ,worship God so we can connect with God, experience utterance (a word from God) and fellowship....
Prophetic word from God is personal..
Giving God the glory always Amen!
Our God is the same yesterday, today, & tomorrow. Trust Him with your life. Jesus will make a way. Just Believe & don't be afraid.

Hi Dana, how is life for you ever since you wrote your comment ? I hope better and hopeful🙏🏽
Dana - I hear you! I lost my brother from massive stroke, been caring for mother 79 with 5 strokes and now I have extremely high blood pressure heading in the same direction.... I'm just learning to praise God in the midst of our trials and tribulations where I used to fuss, cuss and complain.... God hears you and will give the grace and mercy to live thru it - even though it's hard, troubling and painful.... the Lord bless you with peace, and God is greater than your circumstances! This is the time to run To God, not from Him...Praise God almighty!
Have mercy lord 🙏
I was going to past this moment because I'm going through things that's causing me tremendous grief and I didn't want to feel your grief, but I decided that I could not ignore someone else who is grieving. I am sorry for your lost sister. I'll pray for you and love you. God bless.
Prayers sent for mercy and hope and healing to come quickly
Lord you know me more than I know myself, no wonder I saw this message today. Take over my baggage. It's been so heavy. Thank you for my hope is on you. Amen

Hi Tamekae. Did this ever get turned around? We are going through four awful storms at the moment, three of which have time constraints. Eager to hear how/if He delivered you. We’re at the end of our ropes. Thanks!
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
🙏🏾
I am going through my own Goliath it’s been months but I’m realizing that I am trying to hold onto stuff that god doesn’t want me to and I am trying to take the remote from god in my life when I need to just leave things to him and trust in him. I understand what your going through and I want you to know I am here for you and I love you sister and love conquers all ❤️ when we are crying ourselves to sleep at night he is right there with us holding us whispering in our ears that it is fine and to just give it to him ❤️ I hope you are feeling better and even if your not that’s fine sometimes we need to go through stuff to get to the next level ❤️
7 years later and the sermon still on point.🙌🙌🙏🙏
“Never let your feelings sit in judgement over your faith” amen
I am very soon to be an X targeted Individual! The Lord has a set time and day for my delieverance. I can't wait. It's been very hard. Never saw or experienced anything so evil. But! The good news is!? I took the devil on with the mustard seed of faith I had. And, the Lord saw fit to give me the Victory!!! God is good, And although I didn't understand him and felt baffled by him allowing almost 2 years of horrible torment. I made it. I just prayed. "Thu WILL BE DONE!" I've come a long way slowly but, surely! My testimony will shake the gates of helll and send demons running for cover. The GREAT I AM IS WITH ME, and I KNOW IT! There is none like him! I loved this sermon. It has all the information / confirmations I needed to hear! TRUST IN GOD. Just trust. And, when you slip up and your faith fails you? Dust off and start again! For it is not ever till GOD shouts "well done!!" Peace to all my brothers and sisters!

Royal Lady c
How can anyone thumbs down this sermon? They have problems. He is a saturated pastor and teacher with years of experience! I thank God for brother Evans!
Gigi, for the same reason they tuned out Jesus was on earth. People don't want to hear the truth..the enemy has blinded their minds to the things of God.
Lord I am giving you this ball that is too heavy for me. This ball does not belong to me. Please Lord, take this problem and turn it into a blessing. I cannot handle this load any longer. I know that you are bigger than the crisis that I am encountering. So I give it over to you Lord. You know all about what I am facing and I know that you will turn it around and bless me! Hallelujah, I praise your Holy name! I no longer have the ball…. I have You God. A waymaker, a promise keeper. Thank you in advance for what you will do with the ball that I have given to you. 🙏🏾💜😊
I need a miracle for my heart muscle they couldn't replace my heart valve because they found a blood clot on it. I need a miracle for those who feel led to agree for this clot to leave and my heart healed Amen. Psalms 57 and 7 my heart is fixed O Lord my heart is fixed.
How are you today?
Any updates?
Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me
This is exactly what I needed. I have had no money for my rent. Now I believe!
DEBBY DEBBY DEBBY BE BLESSED ALWAYS WITH MONEY TO LIVE LOTS OF REAL LOVE SENT TO YOU DEBBY DEBBY DEBBY I REALLY REALLY CARE I DO I DO I DO AMEN JESUS SAVED
How'd that work out for you Debby?
Not saying that to be negative. Just curious.
I keep reminding myself that God is Good. Regardless of my circumstances. God's character is not based on my circumstances. That's who he is.
If I woke up tommorow and decided to become an alcoholic for the next give years, and neglect my kids; it doesn't make me less of a Father. That part won't change. It would definitely make me a HORRIBLE Father, but the fact that I'm a Father doesn't change.
Regardless of our circumstances, God is still good. That will never change.
Hope it worked out for you.
You better believe you're about to be evicted. lol
What became of your journey?
My life at this time is in a crisis, after a long night of not been able to sleep - getting in and out of bed praying, crying and not knowing what to do about my crisis. Well after not knowing what to do I decided to listen to something good and came across this message - Wow! its inspiring, uplifting, encouraging and now I will take this message and apply it to my crisis.
Heather Lawrie God is with you.
Heather Lawrie I go to sleep every night listening to sermons & prayers. It works!
Don't worry, it will all turn to shit again soon.
Heather Lawrie Glad you found a way out. Now keep at it. blessings

HollywoodStar1989 I'm praying for you! Oh I do know how crushing the work place bullying is!
HollywoodStar1989 I just want to encourage you to keep praying and reading your Bible! I've been through years of work place bullying and only someone who has experienced it can know how gut wrenching it is! Don't retaliate (I know it's hard), read Psalms daily, and if you make a mistake don't beat yourself up. Also, don't ever let them see you sweat! Take this opportunity to get REALLY close to God! 🤗😇😉

For the last 3.5 years I've been dealing and struggling with ssa, living with the same sex partner. Miraculously, God gave me the courage after those few years of prayer, and I ended it the relationship. I thought the crisis was over but it has only just begun. The feelings of doubt, unworthiness, insecurities, anxiety all came to the surface and instead of letting God take control I tried to do things my way and made a mess. It has felt like things went too far out of reach for God. I focused too much on the evil my ex partner caused and lost sight of God. I've listened to few of Tony's sermons now and have realized my mistakes, I need to give God control again and thank him before the crisis is solved. He brought me this far, I'm not giving up yet and God hasn't given up on me yet.
He will not give up on you! Romans 8!!! Trust Him only, your identity is in Christ Jesus!!
AMEN AMEN and AMEN! Keep on trusting keep on believing! God is not through with you yet! The best is yet to come!!! Praise Him for that which is coming! He has equipped you for the battle and is preparing you for the Victory! Continued blessings in all you do for His Kingdom🙏🏽😇
My husband has left me after cheating on me and I feel like I'm in a very similar position to you. He has done EVERYTHING he can to try and hurt me, to try and make me suffer. I've been focusing too much on the evil he's done. I need to give God control again and thank Him because what if He's being merciful by pulling me out of that relationship? What if He knows it would have turned worse somehow? I don't know what God knows. But I trust that He knows best. Much love to you, friend. I hope your situation clears up soon!
@@GoogleTrendingTopics thank you! I've had my ups and downs. But I'm always hopeful for a better tomorrow. I pray you stay strong and God shows you what was meant for you.
@@DS-zo8xs thank you so much!
Thankyou . I am handing off the ball
Divine timing, so weird but I know nothing happens by accident for those called... God is great! Hallelujah
To God be the glory forever and ever Amen!
Amen 🙏🏼
I trust God with my life
That's good because he don't do shit and neither will you if you rely on him or it.
Brad Crampton pain causes that kind of response :-( it is obvious you know of Him. The question is, "what drove you away"......
Sherry Sims; AMEN sister
cathy smith I'm with you. I had to learn to trust Him. It wasn't easy with the human instinct of trying to figure it out myself, but when my back was against the wall and had no other options, I had to give up and give into Him. It was a long process of waiting, trusting and believing, but He came through. Thank you Father for all You teach me. Jesus I love you 🙏🏼
“I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering. I will rescue you for My sake- yes, for My own sake! I will not let My reputation be tarnished...”
Isaiah 48:10-11 NLT
ALL GLORY AND PRAISE TO GOD!!!
It’s not over til heaven says it’s over
Gods creates Crisis to discover God
Without faith_ it is impossible to please God!! Thank God in advance..Amen
For by faith ye stand!!!
Please pray for me! I am in crisis!! God help me! God almighty heal me! Lord your will be done! Amen
okay this is the first comment i have ever made on u tube. i love this man of god and he is a true vessel of god and his word.. ive been thru soo much from losing my wife of 29 years of marriage to drugs to losing everything regarding financial and social status.. been there done that, BUT GOD,,,,,,.............HALLALUYA.PRAISE THE KING OF KINGS
Jesus has the final say!!!
we are all in the same boat, trying to get to other side.. while we are screaming Lord don't you care that we are dying? As Jesus woke up from his sleep as the waves were crashing over the boat, "oh ye of little faith"... then Jesus calmed the waves and got the disciples to the other side.... The Lord will always get us to other side.. it may be a bumpy ride... but knowing He is in the boat with us... should put our hearts at rest... have faith.. just hold on tight! Praise Jesus!
Lord God, I hand it all to you today. I am living a hard and very difficult life, it seems the whole world has turn on me. No joy, peace, money, I have lost a lot. but I thank you Lord. Because I know you will come through for me. Amen Thank you pastor for this great message. It has blessed me.
"the battle is not mines.It 's the Lords".
Yes Yes
THANK YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU
God had told me I have a blessing but yet the enemy keep interfering with the time I receive it. I'm so in a crisis right now. Praying and fasting until I come out. Just like how God brought the Hebrew children out of Egypt. He will bring me and my kids out!!!!🙋🙏
I'm crying like a baby right now thank you GOD!!thank you Jesus!!
Praise our LORD JESUS CHRIST ,
3 crises center Amen 💕🤔

Psalm 34
I sought the Lord, and he answered me.
he delivered me from all my fears
Those who look to him are radiant
their faces are never covered with shame
This poor man called and the Lord heard him
and he saved him out of all his troubles.
Don't hog the ball. Don't hold on to the problem.
The battle is the Lord's!
He is mighty in deed and power!
Let all the earth praise His Name!
Praise the Lord!
God I need you like never before
Thank God,Amen

My two elders sisters died the same year. My wife suffered multiple miscarriages. It seems my world was crumbling but I kept trusting God even when it doesn't make sense. He kept me and saw me through.

I watched this on 6/9/2023 and the holy spirit moved me!!

Thank you Pastor Evans, there’s a reason I’m listening to this message now. Jesus thank you❤❤❤
This is one of the most powerful messages I have ever heard....and Tony preaches lots of them! Just amazing. Such hope and encouragement that God really does see us.
This was so great, and so fitting for me while I am going through an extremely tough relationship crisis. I need to just "hand the ball off to God"!
Amen my sister
Amen! You are loved!!! Keep your eyes on him. Hebrews 12!!
Jesus fixed everything JUST TRUST HIM HE WONT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU THAT HE’S NOT IN CONTROL OF OR WILL HURT YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE
I pray that our God almighty meets everyone of you in these comments at your point of need.Amen.!
I stumbled across this Sermon and it was no coincidence.. I felt the truth of every word. It was as though God was speaking directly to my heart and telling me what to do, I pass my crisis to you oh Lord. I Praise you Lord, I praise you. Amen... This is a powerful sermon one in which will continue to affect my daily life.
PHEWWW THANK YOU JESUS LORDDD GODD TAKE THE BALL GOD PLEASE!!!
This Man is my blessing!
Just love listening to this Man!!!!!!!!! He's on point
I agree with you.
Yes indeed, my heart was so heavy
REAL TALK LORD, IM NOT ASKING FOR MONEY OR FAME,,,,, ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO CHANGE MY MIND AND ALLOW ME TO TRUST, HEAR AND FOLLOW YOU.... THAT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU GOD
Continue in His fellowship and you will very quickly develop the relationship and trust in Him. The devil works very hard to distract and keep us away from praying and reading the scriptures
What an encouraging word.
Going through a crisis....But trusting God.
Same. Trying my best to keep trusting God even though I have no idea what He's doing behind the scenes.
The most important thing is to not be afraid! Tell god that you hand over your crises to him. Be faithful. Have hope, even when all hope is against you, just hope.
Vik ...even when all hope is against you just hope. Thanks for renewing my hope which was fading 🙏🏼
I'm in love with his preaching

I hear you Lord! Thank you for the word, thank you!
And he said after you come home from church don't turn on the TV go in there and get quiet and just listen give me the glory
Seek God first and the rest will come to you.
Listening to pastor Tony is like a clean, fresh, breath of air. Listening to him preach is powerful👏🙏❤️
And just imagine how much GREATER is the Holy Spirit trying to speak through us. Yet how blind we are!
I can't start my day without listening to Dr Tony Evans. I've been stressed so much and was on antidepressant then slowly started listening to Dr Evans and this slowly spoke to my heart and I am feeling real good now. Hood has blessed my through this wonderful preacher.
