  • I was excited 4 minutes into the sermon because I felt like the message was for me. I was near tears at the end of it because it really was. God bless this Ministry, you've poured so much into me today. I could type a whole thing but the words wouldn't be sufficient.. God knows.

    I recently surrendered my life to Jesus. In the last 2 months my life feels like in ocean tides. My marriage, my health, my family relationships, my finances are stumbling and in danger. During the storm I received the message; "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called" 1 Timothy 6:12 Thank you God for allowing me to know you more!!!

    Lord I feel as though I have let you down I haven't been a true Christian my faith has slowly deteriorated and I pray in Jesus name that I am brought before Your presence again so that You may work Your miracles like You did before Amen

    The part where YouVersion’s verse of the day is hand picked just for us is so relatable. God’s word isnt just comforting, but it also teaches us, gives us wisdom, and gives us guidance. God is good 🤍

    The peace that comes during a bubble bath is the presence of God too! All good things come from the Father. And peace is not of the flesh, but of the spirit!!

    I’ve given my life to Jesus 7 years ago and I will say this is one of the most beautiful moments And teachings I’ve experienced ever 😭❤️❤️❤️

    God’s presence isn’t always goosebumps, chills, hair raising or a flutter in your heart… although these feelings come sometimes we are not lead by our feelings but by our Faith which is THE WORD OF GOD, this is why reading God’s word as much as possible we get to know Him outside of our feelings!! This message is so needed for this day and time, because a lot of us rely on our feelings to confirm the presence of God but on the contrary. God Bless You All!! 🕊

    This is something I just recently learned and still learning after feeling separated from God after my divorce. I stopped seeking when the divorce was finally then was angry at God and became extremely depressed. Then wondered why I didn't feel the presence of God. He was still in my presence. Next to me. Loving me. While I was angry at him and hurt. I'm so thankful for God's love.

    He feels so far away at times! My 27 year old mother of 4 daughter died on the 7th!

    Recently I’ve been numb to feeling and every so often I’ll get a feeling but dark and negative thoughts follow. I’ve been praying and praying but keep falling to lust. I really needed this today. Thank you
  • @tinamorris5735
    I feel the presence of God today. On my knees, hands raised in prayer. Legs shaking, tears streaming.
  • I needed this so badly! I can't do anything without GOD! GOD I need YOU more than anything! I'm pouring my heart out to YOU! I'm at the end of my rope. I'm looking for YOU right at this moment! Please rescue me from my sins and they are many! I don't know what to do so I come to YOU! Show me the way! Be with me and show me what to say and do! Take out the things in my life that need to go! Remove me from the people, places, and things that need to be put out of my life, right now in the name of JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR! Cleanse me from all unrighteousness and fill me with YOUR HOLY SPIRIT! AMEN AND AMEN!
  • I felt suden calmness in my life when it was Kaos right before the presence of GOD...
  • 4 minutes in and I am so excited! I have been struggling with this disconnect for so long, and these past couple of weeks I have been bringing it up more and more. The fact that 4 minutes in he's describing my feelings exactly feels like an answered prayer wow!
  • Thank you Jesus, You took me out of a life threatening addiction to heroin that I COULD NOT get out of on my own. I love You, Jesus. You are my King. YOU ARE MY WORLD.
  • @kassiempope5217
    That’s how I feel every time I open my YouTube in the morning to listen to the word.. it’s like the first messages/video that pops up is the word I needed for that day. I give my life to the lord.
