Bravely Spoken to all. However, it still turns out that we all always want the desires of our heart towards ALL our endeavors to be the center of God’s will for us. So He’s the one who put Him desire in our hearts for us to follow. But, so many time we missed it or detour to our own. But God remains faithful in spite of.

Same, one thing that helps with doing enough is something that Fulton Sheen said, “whatever it is, do each tiny act in union with your savior who died on the cross and you will finish your life. Then you will never die to young.” By doing that, we finish the tasks assigned to us.

@@margareta7439 Christian writers made up the resurrection hoax with a fake empty tomb story & fake eyewitnesses/testimonials, but they didn’t realize that sin-sacrifice-resurrection implies a superstitious God who values blood-sacrifice, which was a common practice back then - e.g. sacrificing a goat for a new home. Superstitious early folks who valued blood sacrifice created the God of the Bible in their own image.

Thank you. This brought me to tears. I am a chronic procrastinator. I’ve been in university for over a decade trying to finish the same degree. I have no motivation, I keep failing and going around in circles. I make plans and they never come to fruition. I learned from this that it’s not about how much I can check off my list, but how much I trust God in the moment to do whatever He needs me to do in His time and to get me there in His ways...I already know these truths, but this message was so reassuring, and God spoke to me in a new way. Praise God for this youtube channel. It randomly popped up in my feed.

I feel like I am in a very unproductive season of my life now. For nearly 4 years, after I graduated high school all I have done is be a stay at home "mom" for my foster sisters. I still live at home with my controlling mother, and she isn't ecstatic about me being on "fire" for the Lord. I cannot drive so I cannot leave the house usually. I did go to college but didn't pass my certification testing; the only reason I did that was to get out of the house. I felt useless to God because I am not ministering/writing a book/speaking/having community bible study. Even lately I have been seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit and have fell short. I have asked repeatedly and still haven't received the Spirit completely. I know that if I have a little faith this season will pass, but some days the finish line looks so blurry. I pray that I seek not only the big goals in life, but also to enjoy the little moments God gives me everyday.

Praying for you Kerry. I too feel like I'm in a waiting season. Moved back home 2 years ago to help my Mom take care of my Dad who's beginning to get Alzheimer's and my younger sister who has schizophrenia. It's been challenging. I've been looking for work (I'm a nurse) and for whatever reason, I've been only getting rejection letters. I feel like God is wanting me to focus on helping my family for now and trusting Him to provide. You are being used by him to care for your foster sisters and you may never know the impact you are having by being there for them during the season. Hold on in faith. Keep praying. And fast when you can. Some things come only through prayer and fasting.
@kankondendahiro77714 жыл бұрын
Luke 16:10 ""Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Keep on fostering for those sisters of yours. For the time being, that's the responsibility at hand. To show them love (for God so loved the world...). Love them in whichever way possible. The Lord would not add anything up to your life when you haven't committed to the very ones that you already have. May the Lord God Jesus show you His way through. Amen!

I have never even heard of this guy, but I came across this video on day 7 of my whole family having influenza. I homeschool as well, but we got little work done, my house is a mess, and I was thinking of what a waste if a week it was. I love the idea that it wasn't such a waste if we were able to accomplish some of God's purposes. I realize now all the time cuddling with my 3 year and 7 month old was not worthless. The opportunity to teach my older kids how to care for and help each other was not worthless. The opportunity to comfort those in need of comfort... that is not worthless. I'm grateful for the Lord working in mysterious ways. I may not always understand them, but he always has a bigger picture that I can't usually see.

By all means make your list of to dos for the day. Get as good as that as you can get. Prioritize the list. First things first. Make your plan. Do the very best you can. Go ahead read a book about it. But then walk in peace and freedom that when it shatters on the rocks of reality which it will most days, remember that you are not being measured by God by how much you get done. Youre being measured by when you trust on the goodness and the wisdom and the sovereignty of God to work this new mess for his glory and the good of everyone involved even when you can't see how. Frustrating human efficiency is one of God's primary means of sanctifying grace.

What Churches in America need is a True Repentance that bears Fruit. Christians treat each other like strangers in church. They only seek their own interests and very self-centered. There is no love, sharing, respecting one another, trusting, loyalty and helping among Christians inside the Church. Pastors are content w/ ppl hearing their messages and paid tithe and offerings and leave. I've been to many churches but there's no genuine loving fellowship w/ one another. Jesus' New Commandment was that we love each other fervently.

Christ brings freedom from the chains that we bind ourselves in. A plan is a good thing, if its goal and means are legitimate, I'd imagine. Beating yourself up from failing to meet it for circumstances beyond your control (how much control do you have over the weather, anyway? Or traffic, or disease?) is a chain. Quick tip I've learned recently: remember a hymn you like and just sing it in your head, at least. Clears the thoughts considerably, especially if you feel like your mind is being distracted or attacked. Gets you focused back on what - rather, Who - matters, and again sets you free from how the mind tends to orient itself.

I really wish that this platform has an english subtitle it may be hard for someone like me who is not native speaker to comprehend all of these in only listening to it. Especially the peculiar words which are not common. Hopefully this massage can be considered. God bless

On my 3 year anniversary of giving my life to God in the watery grave, I've come to a point where I felt useless and not doing enough. I'm isolated in the country, and feel like I can't reach people. But God uses everything for a reason, and in all things, I will continue to give Him thanks.

I appreciate the encouragement from our Pastors!! Every day I pray to God to put his wisdom and insight, understanding and knowledge into my plans for the day. I then surrender my agenda to his will. Like the book of James says if it is God's will we will go do this or that. Sufficient to the day are the evil there of. God is awesome, live by faith and not by sight.

How merciful and loving is our God. His grace abounds and im so thankful for God and what He has done in our lives. We seek God and the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us throughout each day and that Gods will be done in our lives. God bless you all.

The almighty, merciful and caring Lord gave me and my gay lover the most blessed gift ever. the Lord came to us and gave his celestial blessing for our union. Thank the Lord for accepting me and my big beautiful lover, Carl. Happy together at last in bed, at peace and with the morning glow of Jesus' loving blessings upon our bodies, us both, created to be unified in his graces. Praise the Lord! Praise Jesus.
