    I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise God!!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!!

    This is so random and not a coincidence, I know the LORD was talking to me not only through this message but also in the scriptures in the sermons that are random.
    I have been meditating on the Lord is my Shepherd verse, and i am also doing a bible study of Ezekiel where God tells him to sleep on one side for over a year for Israel.
    Listen, God, I heard you.
    I am writing this so that when someone's likes this comment, I am reminded that God spoke to me.

    God is speaking through multiple sources. Pastor Jerry Flowers just talked about spiritual maturity in his sermon yesterday. He even mentioned Hebrews 5:12-14. God is trying to get a message out to the masses. This can’t be a coincidence that two pastors are teaching similar messages on the same day with the same Bible reference. This is a sign that God is asking us to prepare for what’s to come. 🙏🏽

    God is good! I decided to fast today and throughout the day, l've been at an "unrest". After praying in tongues, worship, l've been going from sermon to sermon looking for a word/theme that my spirit can settle on and couldn't find I finally started reading the bible which i know is what i would find the satisfaction I'm seeking and then, I'm like i always hear from God through Stephanie. The first minute of this sermon: " It's time to get to the place where you're not dependent on other voices! ... you're growing in your relationship with the Lord."😅

    Pastor Stephanie seems weary, not tired but weary because she knows what we are entering into. So many people are seeing this, those who are mature in the faith in terms of spiritual maturity. And it's so disheartening to see so many people calling themselves Christians will be caught off-guard. There's going to be a great falling away. May the Lord open the eyes of His people. So many houses are built on sand, they have the appearance of being built on rock but are not. Those will be swept away. Make sure you will not be swept away.

Thats not vices enough in media. They are literally missing. If yall don't seek and try to understand Gor now i will ill be part of the odds . I think there's still a small crew of believers that are kept here, I'm not perfect myself but I'm repenting to Jesus. God is showing us so much and we lost in diddy. When the whole world is greater then that topic . Greater then any election.
