  • I have been praying to the Lord for a miracle to happen in my life. A miracle which involves restoration with a loved one. It's been months of praying, fasting, sowing seeds and weeping, but it seems like nothing is happening. It was taking too long. Only yesterday I prayed to God and wept before Him. I felt defeated, distressed, anxious and asked Him for guidance on whether I should just give up and move on, or continue praying about the situation. I asked Him to tell me in a clear and precise way on what I should do. I was ready to give up....UNTIL this message. Somehow the Holy Spirit led me to this message. As I listened to the message, the Holy Spirit told me that is what I should do. Keep praying, keep pushing, be expectant and my miracle will be birthed. It's taking a while because it's a heavy pregnancy, it's a big miracle. I must keep praying and pushing!!! Thank you dear Father you heard my prayer yesterday and you gave me the clear and precise guidance I asked for on what I should do about my situation. It's all very clear to me now, I will continue praying, pushing and expecting and I WILL have my testimony!!! 🙏🏼🤗

    I need prayer warriors to join me in prayer. My wife has filed for divorce. I love my wife, and believe that Christ brought us together. I pray that God will rejoin us and place Him at the center of our marriage, so that His glory and power will shine through. There is nothing God cannot do, no heart or mind that he cannot change. Praise Christ, because I believe He can open any door, and He has heard our prayers.

    My daughter needs Jesus to deliver her from Methadone and heal her mind, heart, body and her emotions. She needs Jesus to hear her cry and heal her totally

    Dr. Tony Evans this is the 5th time I'm listening to this message! So good i eat it in little pieces. But this morning when i was listening i paused when you were getting to go in labor and i said " let me get ready so when God decides that im ready to receive his blessing i am not gonna block it" so i called IRS to set up payment arraignments since we are getting ready to buy a house. I prayed before, during and after" i was told i had a credit of $9759.!!! Since 2013! Praise the lord.

    I love this Pastor! He has a way of simplifying so we can understand God's word and character. May this live on forever.
  • This was posted 6yrs ago and still stand stronger in 6/20/2022. I'm here to PUSHHHHHHH‼️‼️‼️
  • I had the privilege and opportunity to be member and an employee at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. The awesome, practical down to earth man of God Dr. Evans appears to be in the pulpit is the person and man of God he truly is when the camera's go off. Every Sunday and Wednsday was a wonderful and practicle learning experience. He inspired me be a better Christian/ Preacher.
  • This is such a powerful message for us who are struggling with the waiting game. A longer and more painful labor produces bigger miracles! so let us push and push harder towards righteousness!
  • @AsPureAsitGets
    My life was changed by this and I listened to it 6 times and listened again after that!! This is one of the most powerful life changing sermons I have ever heard!! Do you want to know what faith the size of a mustard seed moving mountains looks like?? Imagine faith the size of a mountain!! Praise our Lord Jesus Christ for keeping his word and bestowing his powerful love and blessing on us that don't deserve!! Praise God!!!

  • Prayer is the answer...my marriage is in bad trouble...my husband is addicted to infidelity and he has mental illness...God I need prayers to be answered. I will stay faithful and trust God.
  • I am in tears. I was starting to feel hopeless and frustrated bc my prayers were going unanswered. I didn't know whether to give up, and this sermon has not only encouraged me, but allowed me to shift my focus when praying for a miracle.

    5:55 “Before you call I will Answer…“ I can testify that this is true. Don’t give up! If it’s worth praying for, it’s worth fighting for! ❤
