Yesterday night I cried really hard because I’m in a financially hard situation about my university fees. It was this anxious fear over the future, not graduating, putting the burden on my single mum… I kept asking God how Does he want me to trust him? How can I put him first in this situation that feels too big to handle? It felt like I was taking a big step back or sideways from my journey with him and the peace I had felt with him suddenly felt threatened… sometimes it easy to submit to Him, but other times it’s a struggle with the flesh… because what He wants of us… His ways … they go against the flesh (and senses… seeing, hearing, touching).

I understand how you feel because I'm am going through a similar situation with God and I'm scared that I may loose my relationship with him. It's important to me not too and I've realized yesterday that there is no point in life if I don't have him in it or allow myself to follow him fully completely. But it's hard for me I rather do the comforting things my flesh wants then the things God expects for me and its hard for me to deny them I'm working on it but the progress is slow. And I've been loosing hope.

As I'm going through a similar situation, I can tell you that God gave me the victory. But it starts with identifying WHY you think it's hard to trust God. And you eliminate it with prejudice, through the truth. Because it's easy to trust God. The only reason it can APPEAR hard is because we allow ourselves to listen to things other than God. We think there might be a different way. We think the answer should come quickly. But we must remember to LOVE God. To rest in him. THEN we wait for him, because we love him, because we trust him, because he is really worth it. God bless.

Amen. Know that I and many like us are going through the same, and have been through the same. Even Jesus, dealing with his brothers doubting what he was saying.

If Jesus wasn't supposed to speak or scream during His crucifixion and was still able to, that speaks so deep. It tells that nothing should stop us from coming to God. If you think about it, Jesus became the sin of the world yet He was still able to cry out to His Father in Heaven, even the pain didn't stop Him. He was filthy with our stains at that moment, but He was able to still cry out with our pain. Reminds me of the times when I use to come home from a night of drinking and getting high and I'd cry to the Lord alone in my bed saying, "I don't want to live like this anymore. There has to be more than this out there." I was so lost. I know others feel the same way. That lifestyle is a front. People out there are crying and dying inside. Jesus took those desires out of my heart and out of my life and now I pursue true peace in Jesus. Christ has all the answers everyone is looking for. The truth is hard to bear, and the process is hard, but Jesus will walk you thru it all and He will heal you. And your testimony of Jesus will heal others. God bless you all. - Still Under Reconstruction *There is so much to unravel in God's Word, He's so awesome.

Amen, Jesus is so amazing. Human words cannot describe the admiration I have for our Lord. I am a new believer and this journey has been so fulfilling spiritually but it’s definitely hard. I’ve been trying to pray to the Lord when I wake up and before I go to sleep but in secret. I fear what my family may say if they know what I’m praying to God about. Before I came to Christ I remember getting high and drinking to numb my pain but it never worked. All while hiding what I was doing and going through from family and friends. It always made things worse and opened me up for new spirits to possess me and fill me with hate, sorrow, and just more pain. I’m glad you were able to still call out to the Lord even in your sin. I was not able to because I was still trying to figure life out through my own flawed human way. But Jesus truly did make me new in Him, he took those sinful desires and gave me a new passion for Him and the word of God. He showed me that He is with me and I’m not alone, His love is unlike any I’ve ever known. I praise the Lord for radically changing me and I never want to be the same as I was before I knew Him. May the Lord continue to keep you in His grace and love. In Jesus name, amen.

It's soo hard not to fit in, it's not easy being the "odd one out" many times. To reject the norms of culture. It's easy to say yes to a lot of things than it is to say no. Even with your closes friends. It just goes back to what he said about Jesus vs family. It's easier to see something when it's in front of you than it is when it's invisible(I think we can all agree to that statement 😂). In the same way that it is much easier to please the physical(self, material, and other people) than it is to please the Spiritual (God, your spirit man). In the book of Luke, Jesus states, "do not fear the one who kills the body and after can do nothing else. I'll tell you who to fear, fear The One who can kill the body and destroy the soul(different translations use different wording)." I struggle with this same thing. I reallook to please God, but when I don't apply myself in God's word, and take to heart the fear(reverence) of the Lord, I will look more to man than to God. And even self pleasing can get in the way. Proverbs3:5-6 says to lean not on our own understanding, but to acknowledge God in all our ways, and He will direct our paths. But we can't see that, so we go to please ourselves by our own knowledge and supply for ourselves, fend for ourselves, and even gratifying our own being(spirit, soul, and body) in ways we think are good, I might even say better. But we know it's not. Man has a way which seems right(in there own eyes), but the end of it is his own destruction. In order to tackle this issue we must ask ourselves, "Is the fear of God in our hearts?" Am I looking at what God thinks or says, or what my peers think and say? When Joseph was tempted by potipher's wife, Joseph wasn't concerned by what Potipher thought or was gonna do. But instead he said "...how can I do this against God?" He saw God instead of man, he had more respect for what God would do if he pleased Him. The Word is our best way of getting out of pleasing others. Because the word brings reality to our eyes, shining on the Truth(Jesus). And it's also full of God's thoughts, and will. We then develop that referential honor towards God when we focus on Him.

Hey listen Always remember jesus already talked about exact this situation of yours. It is not going to be easy. Don't surrender to the catholic belefs and traditions. Other than that. It is good to keep peace. You don't have to fight with people about what is right and wrong. Have a good relationshio with Jesus. Try to stay obedient. And humble. And not to get lost in the secular. If you feel others are getting to heated. And you feel like it is getting no where or they are getting almost violent, then end that topic or if necessary the conversation and walk away if you have too. Be strong in your own faith in Jesus Christ. Let him work through you. God bless you.

After the Amen Q. What am I putting before God? A. I believe that I am putting worldly pleasures before God and not fully placing my burdens and worries on the death on the cross of Jesus. As someone coming back to my faith recently and has been consistent for almost a month, God has ignited this fire in me to draw near to him when temptation arises or when I overthink about certain. Feeling a sense of uncertainty is a common thing with me and overthinking about the future does come to mind before God, but I’m slowly, but surely, getting better at really trusting the Lord with all my heart and mind and soul that I may not worry whether or not a certain thing may or may not occur.

Great Episode. I think that the energy that is created and felt throughout the atmosphere of your podcast is powerful and amazing. Praise God.

And I'm not tired because I don't think God deserves it. I'm tired, because in those times where I fall short of who God wants me to be, Im forced to look down upon myself for minute; Before I go to God for forgiveness and feel thankful of His grace.

I struggle with taking focus off of myself, or removing that "1st priority" off of me and on to Jesus, on God's word. I try hard to stop. But it's really easy to look at myself than to see Jesus. Pleasure is another one that takes away Jesus' "First" spot. Whether it's self gratification, or pleasure in hobbies and activities, it's a thing I have a hard time breaking away from. I'm a music producer, and I could think of a catchy beat any time of the day, and determine that "once I get home, I'm gonna work on this beat". And it's a sin for me because I know my main priority, I know that I should be focusing on the "needful thing" instead of my wants and desires. Proverbs 28:13 "He who conceals his transgressions will perish, but the one who confesses and turns away from his sin will be shown mercy(compassion)."

The thing I have put first lately especially is my hearts desire to see my husband saved and our marriage restored. It's on my heart and mind every moment. The waiting is extremely hard and painful to know he left me and is with someone else but God is telling me to hold on and He is working it all out. In the waiting I need to focus on Jesus and keep Him first. Thank you for this sermon.

Peace be with you! I love this podcast! On the 26th will be the first anniversary of my Daddy' passing. He lost his life to COPD. Last Thanksgiving, I saw him on video chat, and learned that he was dying and I saw him on a ventilator. Unfortunately, there was no hope. The day after the 6th week anniversary, I lost my bonus mom, who was just simply, Mom. After my Daddy's passing, I had slipped up and not keep up with praying, quiet time, and personal Bible Study as much as I should. I prayed every day after spending the first two or three days angry with the Lord, but the quality was not as much. Early last month I began a journey on getting better with that. Still a very much work in progress. Normally I am strong with deaths. Yes, I may grieve a short moment with some, but in some short days I would move on. Well, the one with my parents, I did not so easily. That is still a work in progress, especially because my only child is now grown, is in school and working, so do not get to spend much time with him. Him and his girlfriend, when I get to see them, it takes away all feelings of grief. I wish I can spend at least two times out of the month where it is for hours and not just a few minutes. A few days ago, I was wondering if the Lord is using this time of grief to break me to see if I will be faithful to Him and to get right with Him. Bless your very spirit in reading this.

@123person3110 ай бұрын
I went through a similar struggle for a couple of years. The church where I was a member did not feel like home. I struggled with prayer too but slowly started to make it a practice. God took me thousands of miles from my home to another state where I had to completely restart on my own. I bounced around maybe 10 churches feeling I'll never find a God fearing church, that preaches the gospel and loves mightily. God moved me into an apartment across the street from a church whose denomination I stayed away from. Certain circumstances led me to visit this church and on that Sunday I heard the word of God preached about God's providence, I was welcomed with loving arms that none of the other churches did. I instantly felt in my heart that this is where God wanted me to be. Since becoming a member there I've seen God do wonderful things in many people's lives and my own. He's put mentors into my life and good Christian friends. I'm 27 so that was huge for me. Church is a back bone for our faith. Yes it's community but it's so much more. We help each other grow in faith, and the family should be there for one another in the best times and the hardest. I want to encourage you that if going to church feels like hearing the same thing over and over again, or maybe you just don't feel the love you think should be there. Pray about it. Pray mightily. Listen to God's voice in the stillness. He will lead you where you need to go. Not sure if any of this made sense but I hope maybe it encourages you to try church again. I was tired of it, but God continued to knock and I'm sure he will for you too.

Amen. I would clarify that “God” does not mean “ministry” or “church”. AKA “God First” does not mean “Ministry First” or “Church First”. It means personal relationship with God over other things, it means submitting to His will, it means a biblical worldview over a modern worldview, etc. As Pastors it’s very important to not make this mistake. Putting Ministry or Church over Family can be very hurtful to your family. God bless! God First, Family Second, Ministry Third.

A lot of the time, I wonder if God is worth it. I believe in God, I believe Jesus came and died for my sins, and I know Jesus is our only hope of destroying the devil and fighting evil. It's difficult for however to put Jesus first when he seems to put me last. It's difficult to look at God as perfect and good and loving when there is so much hate in the world. It's difficult to fight yourself, fight the world, fight your friends, fight your family. There are days I wake up and just want it all to end. I hate fighting, I hate that this is so hard, and I hate that God makes us put so much effort into hearing and pursuing him. It's just not how a father son relationship works. And often times it seems God takes and expects so much, and gives so little only saying it will pay off later. I don't know how I am gonna keep going, I am alone, I am in heavy doubt and weariness, and I just want all of this to end. I want the pain of this walk to end. I won't ever depart from God and the faith, because if I do, I have nothing to go back to. But I am at a loss for how to deal with all this anger in me towards God, myself, and life in general, and all I get from the Bible is "suck it up and die".

I am sorry that you feel this way. But God says lean not on your OWN understanding. He says that his way are higher than our ways.

And when you think he has left you when you have been chasing, just know he’s in it with you. He’s not against you. He’s moving you to another level to not have to depend on the feeling that he’s there but the knowledge and belief that he is with you because he 100% will always be.

This is a good and needed episode but I want to mention that Jesus isn’t talking in Romans 8. Is it still a promise from God.

I notice I get really tired, it's not a health issue. My mind just wants to check out when I'm praying or reading scripture. I just want to sleep? Anyone have any tips.
