[@marthanifick6145]

I lost my daughter 4 September 2022, I confess God disappointed me, after healing her of cancer, only to take her due to kidney failure. I have so much guilt. I have restled with God. It is the worst pain. And I am angry. God forgive me. But God also did miracles. He lovingly swept me off my feet, only to rip my heart out a few days later. I try to remember the good memories. Its difficult. I am fearful that God will punish me and hurt more of what I love. I am in a difficult place. I am numb, I am scared for when it hits. I want to honour her life by doing what she loved, she would have wanted me to live and be happy. But I feel guilty that she suffered, I feel I should have made better choices. I fully relied on God, I fully trusted God. But God decided to take her. I am grateful for the 17 hears we shared, but I am sad and heartbroken because I feel it was not her time, and I caused it to come sooner by pushing her to far, when I needed to let her be, and let Gods will be, peacefully. I am some days up , then down. I pray for healing. All you say pastor, is so true. I feel guilty to be angry at the Almighty God. Every second I feel different. But I will use this sermon to guide me. I will keep on praising Jesus. I will do my best to live a life pleasing to Jesus, so that I may one day join them and see them all again in heaven. God is near the broken hearted. So He is near me now, and wants to dry my tears, and comfort me, and I ask for strength to get through this. Only with God. I can also testify that in small gestures, God shows His kindness, care, mercy, and He is Graceful and makes me see her, hear her, feel her in the sounds my son makes, that she would only herself make. One struggles with your mind racing. I pray for God to give me peace, a sound mind and rest. Knowing she is now with Him, and in the best place, and we will be together forever again soon! ❤‍🔥

[@janicesanjurjo4903]

Dear Dr. Evans, when I heard of your wife’s death, my heart went out to you as well as my prayers. In 2018 I lost my only child at the age of 45 years old. I was devastated but God held me up. It had to be Him because I all I wanted to do was fall down like a child and have a monumental tantrum. I was weak, beaten down and crushed. I dared to say why me, why, why why Lord. Now I’ve come to realize that God’s will be done. Because of His goodness I can now say why not me. I wish not this great pain on anyone else. Your sermon in the midst of your grief has refreshed me anew. Your character during tragedy is a beacon to us who has faced this and hope for those who have not. Thank you, man of God, for allowing God to use you to minister to us. I have received strength by watching you and your family‘s grace in the midst of your trial. God bless you tremendously.

Janice, I feel your pain so much as we lost our only son aged 18 in 1995 after a painful fight with cancer. But through it all, God has been faithful and He will comfort and strengthen you in your time of need. Our son put his trust in God and came to a mindset that it was God's will and not his. It's not an easy road to travel, but we have no option. Be blessed by the faithfulness of Jesus. He is at the door!

The rawness of Dr. Evan's testimony is heart breaking and encouraging. He said we need to draw near to God when we find ourselves in a place that we percieve we are unable to draw from God. The rain falls on the righteous and unrighteous; however, as a public servant and leader of men he must stand in the rain and continue to lead by the Word of God those who may otherwise lose their way. Paul says follow me as I follow Christ. Paul followed Christ to his death and no doubt we lift Dr. Evans up in prayer to do the same. For the crown bestowed upon his queen awaits the crown of his head as well. God exalts the humble. Lord exalt Dr. Evan's today You said in your word neither will you leave nor foresake us. When you are in the will of God as Jesus it may feel as though you are unable to go on after such a bitter cup but it is His will and my Father's business and not our own.

[@alexmaracinaru]

@Season1 better2 Agreeing. Also, I'd add that Job's pride in his own righteousness and tradition got God's attention (and Satan's, of course). I would say that the very words quoted, were the ones God wanted Job to "get rid of", and just come to Him with a sincere, wounded heart, not a legalistic one (where you hypocritically say what you believe to be the right things, but inside you are hurting so, so much that you would say the very opposite). This was proved later when God allowed him to be stripped of everything. God finally answered Job when all this legalistic righteousness was gone, when Job finally got angry/sad/desperate enough to admit his condition and "demanded" answers from God. God could have still chosen to be silent, as Sovereign as He is! But He did answer a mere human, and restored him. The other version of Job's story puts God in a place of being the tyrant that was playing with Satan, and allowing an innocent human being to be horribly treated just so He, the Almighty, would win a bet!!! Who does that? Not even we, sinners. How much less would God?!

[@jessyjonas4988]

@@alexmaracinaruthe one who knows God would never see God as 'tyrant'! I can understand a new believer but a seasoned believer, no!

[@jessyjonas4988]

@Season1 better2 Excellent discourse!! I echo your sentiments that many preachers and teachers are clueless when they mention certain scriptures since they are speaking not of experience. This preacher though, like he said " my ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen him, he knows of what he speaks. I would not say "God could do nothing about it" No one backs God into a corner least of all the devil! In the case of Job he simply used what the enemy meant for evil and used it for Job's good. Job had a lot of pride ( usually comes from seeing ourselves doing the right thing "all the time", this is the catch 22 of the flesh!). The H. Scripture says Job gave extra offerings to cover his kids; " it may be that my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." This seeming wager ! was an excellent way to deal with the pride and fear factor in Job's life. God is the master weaver, pottery maker, ruler of taking broken pieces and creating a masterpiece mosaic!!

[@jessyjonas4988]

@Season1 better2 well said!! It is true the H. Scriptures tell us" without faith it is impossible to please God". Which is why the enemy goes after our faith! And since faith vcomes by hearing the word, he goes after time in the word. You are correct, we need to know the strategies of the enemy. So that we don't allow him a foothold in our lives.

I'm a strong Christian who loves the Lord, a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ and psalmist, I have an amazinig husband of 22 years and a strong loving supportive family.

My dad passed away in 2016. I was here in Texas and he was in California. I did not get to speak to him, to say good bye, to see where he was at spiritually. I have no idea if he was saved in the end...but God is my strength. I can not bear to think he was not so I just have no choice but to trust God in this. Besides asking for His strength daily, I pray for Him to help to do what is right always, even when I do not want to. Sometimes I just dont want to. Sometimes I want to yell at people, sometimes I just want to be selfish. Sometimes I just dont feel like showing love, grace, mercy to my husband or children because they spoke mean and hurtful words to me. But when I seek the Lord and say, "help to to do what is right because I dont want to right now," I get the strength to not react in my flesh but smile, and say I am sorry you feel that way and let the Lord deal with them. If we do not show love, grace, and mercy to everyone, how will the world hunger and thirst for what we have wich is the Lord Jesus Christ. We must praise Him in the dark like we do in the light!

So sorry about your loss. I lost my mother recently and it's definitely testing my strength. And I've lost my dad, friends, in the past. But this is hard. Stay strong and true.

[@chanell5556]

@@jonathonkiner7415 Yes, it is hard. You are in my prayers.

[@djfg1938]

So sorry about the loss of your wife. Praying for God's mercy and comfort.

[@canarybryant]

Thank you for sharing this sensitive issue. For my husband died two months before your wife died. I too was surprised! Four years my husband was in battle with cancer. Each year my husband appeared he was getting better. There were Miracle after miracle and I really felt God said he was going to heal him and then one day he died. Coming on three years and I see miracle in me. I thank God for holding on to me!

[@ChrisJohnson-lh9qb]

I’m very sorry about your husband trust me I completely understand how you feel, i lost my wife 2018 I can still feel the void in my heart, but I know she’s in a better place, time they say is the best healer especially when you’re with the right people, it'd be nice to talk to you more maybe have a great conversation if you dont mind send me your gmail adress so i could reach out on you .?

Its a painful experience but God is our strength n fortress

[@valeriemaddox9770]

As Dr. Evans stated: " Trust him in the dark like we do in the light." A lot of times things just don't make sense. Many years ago when I was 16 years old a pastor was preaching and he said, " It is okay to question God, but just don't give up on God."

"It is ok to ask God a question, but dont question God"

[@emthomson2038]

MY 26 YR OLD NEPHEW WAS SUDDENLY TAKEN BY CONSEQUENCES OF POOP CHOICES. OUR HEARTS WERE BROKEN AND I WAS ANGRY AT GOD. DR EVANS HELPED ME TO WORK THROUGH MY GRIEF AND KNOW THAT THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OF MY NEPHEW. GOD ACTUALLY SAVED US FROM WATCHING THAT YOUNG LIFE EBB AWAY MINUTES AT A TIME IN AGONY. IN HIS MERCY HE GAVE EACH OTHER FOR COMFORT. THE PEACE AND COMFORT OF GOD IS MIRACULOUS!!!

POOR CHOICES *

Thank you for your truth i dowel why but God knows what i need sad times draw me closer in Eccentric

[@livingbydesign6982]

I lost my son 10 weeks ago. My heart is crushed. I cry out to the Lord Why didn’t He keep His promises of protection, and the fruition of the ministry He had planted in my son just months before. This pain is the worst I’ve endured. God has the power to heal and yet He chose not to. I am struggling each day but I continue to keep my mind filled with Gods Word in daily prayer and devotion. I need Gods answers.

[@ralvis22]

I'm so sorry. I'm dealing with a different type of loss - my wife of 23 years divorced me and I feel like I've lost everything. I have the same questions you have. Why? I thought God had great plans for our marriage. I'll pray for you as you deal with your great and overwhelming loss. I'm sorry.

[@naomis.sharif]

PRAISE has carried me through Pastor. I shared your testimony with my brothers daughter. I'll let her decide to share with her Dad. They share their home together. "All things work together for good....", Pastor. All this is for God's purpose. Thanks again. I'm praying for you. Amen.

[@elvaliburd1560]

I have lost a brother and a sister in 6 months 😢. It is a struggle for the heart and emotions. I just know God does not make mistakes. Thank God for this teaching ❤ Blessings to everyone who has lost a beloved.

For a higher purpose. Ecclesiastes 3 To everything there is a season, A time for everything under the heaven. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted. All we can do is just trust God and know that he is God. So sorry for your loss.. better day lies ahead!! 🙏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾..

[@heidifleming1001]

Thank you, Dr. Evans. My husband passed on 10/17/2020. We were truly blessed with an amazing relationship of love and respect. I appreciate you sharing your heart and encouragement. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.

[@annamarieponds-velez3276]

Thank you for this Dr. Evans and the Evans family!!! You have no idea how many people you are blessing with your transparency in the the time of grief and loss. It does matter that Mrs Evans was here!!!! Her legacy and how you All, to include your church family prayed, sustained and handled her time of illness and passing, is giving us all strength to know, we can carry on this side of Heaven, even when GOD'S will overrides our wanting to keep our loved one on this side of Heaven.

[@muppetlove77]

I lost my dog a week ago and I had her since she was a puppy. She was 17 years old and my heart is broken. I knew one day she would go with the Lord. I keep telling Him how sad I am without her and that I am struggling just to breathe, eat and sleep. I have never felt such pain. I am so tired and I can't stop crying over her. I had such a deep love and bond with her. I don't have any children or any family left. I wish we could have gone to Heaven together. I miss her so much!

[@tinathomas3288]

God Bless you I hope your feeling a little better now. Perhaps get another cute dog at shelter that needs love

[@jflo4032]

Dog isnt the same as loosing your loved ones no where near the pain we feel when we loose our loves ones we cant just go buy another dad or mom or child like you can with a dog and a dog is a dog not like humans

[@muppetlove77]

I lost both of my parents and losing my dog was even more painful for me. You can't just go out and get the exact same dog because they all have different personalities and traits. If you were a dog owner, you would understand.@@jflo4032

[@oghoghookundaye1493]

Thank you Pastor Evans for this message… God bless you. I lost my mom 6 years and sometimes it feels like the pain grows with time but I pray God gives name strength and clarity in life❤

[@lauditanel3241]

I lost my nephew in June. He was only 20 and had his life ahead of him. He struggled with dyslexia and societal pressure. Even with a prayer-filled family around him, God still took Him. It's still like a dream, and too painful, but I will rejoice in the Lord

[@sharlaneb9545]

Sorry for your loss. I’m trusting God in the dark.

[@Sorana44]

Sometimes we thought that we reached a point in our lives that we can’t grow no more , meaning grow to reach more people, do more good, expand the gospel more, yet God has in store more ways to make our ministry grow and expands in ways we can’t even fathom. And the only way to get there is by suffering, but excruciating suffering will bring that harvest. As I pray fir you and your family I honestly can say Im part of that harvest of your ministry. May the God of all confort always be with you and bring you peace and joy, even in the mist of this difficult moment.

[@ms.annaadams9994]

I just lost my best friend her babe was lily my dog of 11 beautiful years i know she is with Jesus and is pain free and with her best friend Sally that she lost 3 years ago.

[@corinicole9271]

I lost my Aunt yesterday. We rejoice over the fact that she gave her life to Christ and has gone to a better place and is no longer suffering from diabetes and all of the other health issues it causes. We're grieving over not physically seeing her or talking with her. Lord, continue healing and comforting those who are dealing with loss of loved ones. 🙏🏾💜🕊️🙌🏾
