I pray that the Lord opens major doors for you, I pray that he pours you out a blessing that you don’t have room to receive, I pray that you get so many job offers that you have to turn jobs down, He’s able, thank you Lord that it is done in Jesus name!!!

I’ll never forget a sermon this preacher preached…”This is a suffering way”…by Gods grace I’ve been allowed to get a clearer understanding of what that means. It’s a suffering way but it’s so worth it. Gods plans are not to harm us but to give us a future & a hope.

[@jrunnels04]

Walking through an involuntary divorce with two little boys, while my husband is already in a new relationship. God and His Spirit is the ONLY thing allowing me to show up in kindness, love, and respect for the sake of my boys. Each day I fight to die to my flesh. I’m weary and worn. This came right on time. Thank you Megan.

[@lavoniachisholm3930]

This message is vital at a time such as this. Pray for me. I have a testimony that the World needs to hear. I went in the hospital for a simple procedure and the surgeon made a mistake which landed me in ICU. I was intubated three times and on the ventilator. My hands were tied to my side so I wouldn't pull out the tubes. I couldn't talk, I had pneumonia and my left lung had collapsed. But, I was alert and in my right mind. God gave me peace and I just kept thanking him for allowing me to be in my right mind. I heard the Lord say "if you want to be my disciple pick up your cross and follow me; for he who finds his life loses it and he who loses his life for my sake finds it". There are so many miracles that happened during that time and I'm head over heels in love with Jesus, because he never left me and I was able to hide myself in him. All I want now is for him to get the glory out of my life. I'm going to write a book because people need to know the value in suffering.

[@lemogangmonnahela9091]

Wow OoooooooooooWiieeeeeeee The Lord is gooooooooooood. Thank you for sharing your testimony. I needed a reminder that God is still moving 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@elenorgreen1594]

MAAM…this right here is a mighty, mighty word. God is in the suffering …my God

[@deborahdebrule423]

I've had to endure so much suffering. I used to get upset with God but now I'm grateful for it because my level of commitment to God is certainly unmatched. Thanks Megan, I love your Podcast!♥️🙏🏾

[@Tootsie782009]

This is so on time for me. Every time I suffer I run. I run back to my favorite sins. I doubt God’s goodness. But He convicted me about those sins. He clearly told me I had to stop and i am in a suffering season right now. This video convicted me that I have to stop running and lean in. Thank you! ❤

[@GG7GodsGrace]

I’m suffering with my son being taken last year, my only son, and the year before my gpa, the two people that made life happy for me, never judged me and I felt protected by. I am indeed seeking God more than ever, this pain is like no other. No friends, fam don’t talk to me. Can’t find a job, no funds, car down ,no place of my own I just feel alone, and yet I have that mustard seed that somehow I’ll be ok, I just see no light in this darkness currently . I love God and I know he can’t lie.❤

God is so GOOD and strategic!!! I was just talking to God today about what I was going through and changing my mindset on suffering. Right on time word!!!!

[@Iam_MsIcy]

Oh my goodness the way this just blessed my life…I heard GOD directly through this message. I’ve literally been going through warfare and found myself disengaging with our father. Thank you for the reminder lord. Even through suffering you’re still here. Time to go get back into my word!!! 💕✝️✨

[@antoinettehereford8180]

This was so good! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. The Lord truly is good and He is faithful. Some of my suffering was from my own doing, living a straight up rebellious and sinful life. Other times it was dealing with disaster and feelings of loneliness. And yet other times came unexpectedly, like being diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago and having to undergo surgery, chemo, radiation, and antihormone treatment. Now, it's dealing with the grief from my father passing away 6 months ago. This life is hard, but it is truly abiding in Jesus Christ that keeps me going. God’s word and prayer are the keys to staying connected to Him.

[@lemogangmonnahela9091]

I was reflecting yesterday as it was the 10th month Annv of my dad's passing and I in a way didn't know what to feel cs there's still that deep grief and still asking myself why did this have to happen. I had to pause & think back on how God has kept me through all those times that he continues to show up every day for me even when I don't feel him near and that brought so much hope & filled me with gratitude that he is bigger than my feelings, emotions and what I see. He is faithful.

[@comeclowe]

24:00 AMEN! 🙏🏾 SAY IT MEGAN! When you’ve been “plagued” 😢😮 Lord Jesus this was my life!

[@AnelisaVaaltyn]

Wow Megan. I don’t listen to any preachers online but when I listen to you and hear the word of God, it is so calming and I listen through the whole video. It feels so genuine and so real. Don’t stop ever podcasting ❤️❤️

[@nyabuaypal8765]

This is why we love you Megan!! ♥♥♥

[@wellswellness8973]

This episode was so encouraging! I’ve suffered with God and without…. And there has always been more grief, more hardships without. What really encourages me is that Christ understands every suffering I can go through on this earth.

[@tterryn81]

This was GOOD!! Thank you heavenly FATHER for this message.

[@itbemaggieg]

I really love how imperfect yet genuine her messages come. On a personal level she is just as naive yet on fire for Christ as her viewers are and she doesn’t hide it. She’s sharing what she’s more than sure of while also coming completely leveled with her audience because she genuinely believes in the Lord. And for that, I’m grateful and hope she continues to be blessed through trials and triumphs while blessing others!

[@tatysachi]

This was excellent Megan, thank you for such an important and great reminder! Well said and well highlighted! Spot on. Continue on your journey, it is refreshing to witness! Praise be to God

[@ClarisaMann09]

God bless you Megan❤ thank you

[@TheNAIA321]

Thank you so much Megan… every time I watch your videos I am just so in awe of how God speaks through you, everytime. I needed this video… grad school has been taken up so much of my time lately and my frustrations have been on a whole other level because of the lack of time I feel I have spent with God. With this small break that I have, I’ve been indulging completely in God and trying to make up for all of that time that I feel I owe Him because of His goodness, but I know that He will NEVER leave, nor forsake me, as you stated. I thank God for the sufferings because I definitely would not be where I am at right now without them. Thank you again… you are so amazing and catching up on your videos on this beautiful Sunday has been so joyful to my spirit. God bless you!

[@odomaa1]

Thank you Megan, this word is not only encouraging but needed. Timely reminder !

[@comeclowe]

If I wouldn’t have gone through all the prior SUFFERING it would not have equipped me to ENDURE the suffering I just experienced. 😮 unlocked 🔓 something for me! ❤

[@ShaniceL89]

This is a sermon and a beautiful testimony. Megan's passion and realness to share how Jesus has pulled her from the pits of despair is going to help so many people out of their pits too! Looove this 🥹

God is good. I recently just posted a short clip on tiktok about the She Reads Truth Bible. I was also saying that people need to get into the word and start praying, especially through the suffering, because God loves you regardless. AMEN. Thanks for this episode. We all needed a reminder.

[@ericaluna01]

Thank you so much! I’m going through so much right now and I’m leaning into Jesus to help me get through it. Constant prayer and reading my Bible. I won’t let the negative talk get to me. 🙏

I love you Megan ! Thank you for being a sister in Christ , I’m excited to hear this message !🩷

[@marikabastien]

This came at the right time and proof that God is working though and for his children. Spiritual warfare has been very real this week and the pain has been unbearable. So much so that I was happy for God to take me back to him, cause my physical experience has not been fun. I've been feeling alone, neglected and forsaken. But I continued to engage with God. I was mad and angry, but instead of turning away from God I came to him with it. I cast that onto him and asked the Holy Spirit for comfort and he delivered. Life is not perfect, but we serve the most perfect God. Thank you for this Megan.

[@lemogangmonnahela9091]

I feel you about spiritual warfare, been having severe mental attacks these past few days to a point where I was asking myself if there's a sin that opened a door for the enemy to attack me with that intensity... Whenever I was feeling paralyzed in my mind, the only thing that made me feel better was reading the word to counter the evil thoughts in my head and worshipping our good Lord. God is really at work as the bible says "The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him."

[@hottyma3]

So NEEDED this!!!! I felt EVERYTHING you said!!!!God is FAITHFUL AND CONSISTENT

[@Kimone.C.Smith.]

This was extremely encouraging and helpful. Even in suffering, stay engaged with the Lord. Suffering is promised and it's an honour to suffer with and for the Lord because through it He's perfecting us, it's producing something, for our good and His glory!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@erynezerihun]

Pleaseeeee do more EPs on suffering! Im going through sooo much warfare from everyside, and the fact that you were open. This came on time!

[@emmzzz5380]

I love your podcast so much!

[@jakettahoward9452]

God bless you and all viewers of this video! Megan is right. God is who he says he is through the good and the bad times. I too found a relationship with God in my suffering around this time last year. Suddenly I felt like only he could fix it and see me through after years of bumping my head trying to figure it out myself. Only he knew why I was stuck and I was reminded who brought me out before. This time I decided I will never forget going forward how to overcome, which is with him. It’s the only way. I’ve been walking with him daily since. From reading my bible front to back, still reading. Watching shows about Christ, “ The Chosen” was something special. Going back to church to encounter more power of God’s word. Listening to podcasts all about God and loving the people he has shown me through this discovery such as Megan and Jackie Hill Perry plus more. Yall take your time, make the relationship about you and God. Strip away all other things you’ve been told and go see for yourself.

[@cakefacekimma1534]

[@acquitadanae5975]

We can’t experience growth w/o pain. When we realize that He promised we would suffer/pain but ALL THINGS will work for our good; not feel good. I’m walking everyday with EXPECTANCY. God said that He will do EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ALL that I can think or imagine and I can’t fathom what He has in store for me/mines. All praises to the most High! He loves us so much…

[@TeeHudson11]

It is when I struggled the most that I felt like his presence was most prominent to me. I cannot get over this episode.

[@theartofnoticingJesus]

This was so good, perfect timing. Thank you for sharing, I totally agree that He deserves the boldness!! I took my life in 2019, survived but kept trying until one day God said enough and I got saved and deliverance from legions on a street corner in NY.

The suffering…I absolutely love the way you did this! I feel so deeply that God has favored you IN TOTALITY!!!!!!

[@Melaninerinmarketing]

I completely agree with you. I've learned from your episode with Jackie on your last pod to double down on prayer when the devil is attacking. I just joined a class on Evangelism and the devil is trying to throw me off course. I pray and read my bible every chance I get. Thank you for being so vulnerable. :)

Because the challenges are ROUGH but I have been drawn to him because absolutely nothing else works - nothing is just because - he has a plan and I am so logical and I keep trying to make sense of his will but my thoughts are not like his - and definitely needing the peace - it is so painful . This!! and heavy on the years !

[@aishiaike5935]

You do not know how timely this was. Thank you for letting God use you. Thank you for being a reminder to continue to go deeper with God and look to him during our sufferings. You are so right about those messages that are telling us to look for our next miracles and not encouraging us to pick up our bibles and read our word. Like you mentioned the conversation of suffering is hard but it is so necessary and I know I definitely needed to hear it at this time. So thank you again!

[@latoyahammond1491]

Thank you so much! I needed to hear this today. I’ve been dealing with something for several weeks now and I’ve been spending time with God and I started thinking that he was going to get tired of me talking about the same thing. And the more I engaged with God it seemed like the more the enemy was coming for me with increased anxiety. So for me this was just a reminder to stay engaged and lean even more into God!!
