In Flickering Light - Bishop T.D. Jakes [March 8, 2020]

Before God illuminated the earth, He predestined a unique path for each of us. His divine guidance throughout that journey may transition us in and out of life's challenging seasons, but each deviation we experience is for our betterment. Although we lack the vision that God possesses, and we often doubt God's presence during life's detours, we must build a level of faith in Him that stands firm, even in flickering light. Do you possess that level of trust in His plan for your life?

Today was a day of confirmation!! It was the day I kissed my past goodbye and embraced my future. I linked arms with other believers and invited and received the Lord Jesus Christ in my life. I forgave myself for what was so I can fully receive what will be. Thank you so much bishop for your obedience to your call and your mentoring and modeling. You will see the results of what you have deposited in me!! Ain't no church like the Potter's House!!

[@UnMuted2Voice]

To God be the Glory. The angels and other believers are rejoicing with you. Jesus will do a mighty work in your life. Trust His plan even when it hurts.

My son's b-day today... thank you Bishop Jakes for faithfully serving the Lord Jesus.... God bless you...

[@nkechimurray6998]

Everything...and I mean EVERYTHING works together for the good of those who are called (and we all are called) according to God’s purpose. We all have purpose. My recent sickness taught me to eat right and drink water...Me being raised in a narcissistic home by a narc mom and enabling father is birthing a book out of me that will change generations....All the rejection I’ve experienced has taught me to cleave unto God and his word and listen to what he says about me, and not what people say about me. People don’t know what goes on behind closed doors but God does!! Be confident in the fact that God has called you. The mistakes, the let downs, the persecution all builds character, tenacity and a relentlessness to be a driving force to your destiny!! Please don’t let anything or anyone be a hindrance!! Stick with God and his word and you will become exactly who he created you to be!! I love you Bishop...No one breaks the word down the way you do! I set an alarm EVERY Sunday to tune in anticipating what God is going to speak through you and in 5 years of watching you consistently every Sunday, you never disappoint. Even the guest speakers are just what I need when you aren’t ministering. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🙏🏾

[@manyrubies]

Nkechi Murray amen! We have the same story! Being ill has made me so intuitive with my body and my standards are much higher. I know who I am now much better because in my isolation, God got to me.

He will direct and guide our paths . In Jesus name , amen .

I got that Jesus fever!!!!!!

[@kellyleiva6844]

I’m a Millennial and it is true, it is not about Christ. We love Jesus Christ. Millennials are against following pagan traditions such as those of the pharisees and sadducees. Millennials love Jesus believe in Christ but do not consider the Catholic and pagan religious traditions as the true word of Jesus Christ. Many religious institutions are the pharisees and sadducees of our modern day, just like them they normally teach about the physical way of following Christ disregarding the spiritual journey that goes along following Christ. Hallelujah that the word is being spread and understood

[@vjm3]

So overall from what I got from this was: We're able to reach our best when things seem their dimmest.

I hope this message reaches your eyes one day, so you know that I'v felt led by God to follow you. I will continue to follow your message and I will continue to trust GOD, until the day I am blessed by your physical presents and the torch is passed. Mr. Jakes, continue to be the vessel that God speaks through. You are a true servant to the ministry and a leader of his people. May God bless you! :)

Speak LORD! THANK YOU LORD.

[@NapTownEddie]

I submit to Jesus Christ. Lord take over my mind, heart, finances and worries!!!

[@ForeclosureGhost]

Naptown Eddie - Jesus said to submit to Jehovah, your God who dwells within you. Jesus said to trust in Jehovah. In fact, all of scripture speaks of Jehovah. They changed the words to "Lord". Jehovah does not acre for the earthly things, but he does care for you. He has been with you ever since you came into this world. He is the Light of heaven and earth. But, I am not speaking of the footstool of God, I am speaking of mind and body. Jesus said to go into the closet and pray in secret to Jehovah, and Jehovah would hear you. What Jesus said was to meditate. Through meditation, your soul can meet your God. You simply seek the candle within you. It may take you some time to find it, or it could happen in the blink of an eye. It all depend if one is truly seeking Jehovah. He knows who is looking for him and who is not. He hides from them who give him lip service and he will not reveal himself to them. I suppose this is why people only talk about their living God since they do not praise him for being their God. But, this will all change and those dead in Christ will awaken to Him. I do not believe Jesus would lie about that. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Seek it.

[@ForeclosureGhost]

@Annette Washington My friend, I am not harassing you. But I will dust off my shoes. I'm sorry you do not know Jesus teachings. Peace be with you and learn to love your neighbor.

[@ForeclosureGhost]

@Annette Washington - One more thing, they told Jesus the same thing, he was not ordained. Should Jesus repent?

[@ForeclosureGhost]

@Annette Washington You do know Christ witnessed what you said? He knows if you know him, and claiming you are born again with the attitude you have is not a good idea to profess piety before Him. He knows you better than I do.

[@ForeclosureGhost]

@Annette Washington I would never say that. Jesus was not a Christian. Neither am I. My relationship is with my Father, not a cult.

Bishop, at 58:10, that's what happened a year and a half ago. Everything I've ever done or not done that never made any sense to me for years, all the things I regretted for so long ALL of my unanswered questions were answered. God gave me a revelation that has helped me put my past where it belongs and now, I don't need to forget those things that are behind me because it all makes sense now. I knew my whole life growing up where God is taking me, but I didn't understand the route He chose for over 38 years and in one moment it all became crystal clear. I've known my purpose since I was a kid at 1.5-2 years old I knew exactly why God put me here. I could hear Him telling me just as I still do today. I always knew everything was for a reason, I just couldn't quite figure out what the reasons were. I knew where it was taking me but I was still confused on a lot and then BAM. I have made perfect peace with my past at 40 and I wouldn't change a single second of it for any reason. I'm so glad to hear you say that!
