    In the middle of this sermon, God spoke to me. I've been having a really hard time mentally today while at work thinking about my divorce (it's unwanted on my end - my husband cheated and chose another woman over me and then filed for divorce). I was thinking today about God answering prayers and God speaking, so I turned on this sermon, but in the middle of it I got distracted with dark thoughts about how if I am actively sinning, if I KNOW I am sinning, if I am consciously choosing my will over God's Will, then how can God love me??? It's a lie that the devil has perpetrated in my life over and over again. I had slipped into that mindset. Then my coworker passed my desk, which is located close to the exit. I heard him leave. I heard the door close. A few seconds later, he opened the door again, came over and stopped at my desk. His eyes were misty. I was caught off-guard and asked him what was up. He said, in a low voice so no one else could hear, "I wanted to let you know that me and my family have been praying fervently for you and your situation. I don't know details, but I know how hard it is and I want you to know that you are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are wrapped in prayer and love." His voice shook as he said it. I stared at him, bewildered, and sincerely thanked him for his words because I had been having such a hard day. Then he turned back around and left, and I burst into tears. Because the reality of what had just happened sank in: my coworker had initially passed my desk. He was prepared to go home for the day. When he got outside, God told him to turn around and come back and speak to me. This wasn't just an "on your way out, could you say something?" request. He physically left and then came back with the sole purpose of telling me that... which means two things: 1. my coworker was open and willing to listen to God's voice, and 2. Jesus was thinking of me at the EXACT moment where I was trying to convince myself that He wasn't. He used my coworker to IMMEDIATELY tell me that everything I had just been thinking was wrong, and that He still loves me. Y'all, when I made that connection, I could not stop crying. Our God is so good that even as we are convincing ourselves that He's not, He's right there telling us that we're wrong, that He loves us, that we are His precious ones, that we are not forgotten and we are not alone. When God speaks, please listen to Him. Please be open to hearing His voice. Thanks for reading this and God bless.

    Recently lost my wife and this makes me feel so much better at where she was and where our children are now only 8 months down the road. God will take away and we trust Him, as heartbreaking as it is. 🙏🏼

    It's 2024, & this word is still relevant! It speaks volumes to everything that's currently going on in the world. God is not only speaking, but he's literally yelling at this point. God bless Pastor Tony Evans for saying everything that needed to be addressed. 🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏽

    If we don't move by his Word, he'll allow for life circumstances to move us out of our comfort zone.
