Joe Nester - How Many Times (Lyric Video)

[@LoriLee24]

It took me till the age of 56 to wake up, pushing 60 soon, and our God has me walking on air! I’m 💯 Gods child, just like you, we are some of the few🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@MrBlakeleyden]

Just over 3 weeks sober now from years of heavy drinking. Now I am seeing all of the negative mentalities that were always there, but that I was blind to and never dealt with. Just kept kicking the can down the road, so to speak. You are right about that: “If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will either.” I am starting to feed my imagination with the identity of my spirit rather than the old identity of my flesh that had become so automatic and reinforced by the enemy voices. If faith comes by Hearing, it doesn’t become real inside of me until i SAY it so I can hear it. The battle has now become to say it even when I feel like the furthest from it being true. The old man is dead! I am loved! I am a son of God! I am the righteousness of Christ! I am becoming the man that he already sees me as. (From Andrew Womack’s teachings: “The Old Man Is Dead” and “The Power Of Imagination”). Thank you for this beautiful creation of a song and th sincerity of your heart towards pleasing the Father🙂God is always with you. Much love

Wow such a powerful song❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LorieBeth-o8v]

This song means so much to me, I’m 18 and I’m a little over a month in my sobriety, going from being homeless in the city strung out and hopeless. I felt lost and like I really had no one to turn to, I knew about god but I felt ashamed, so I never put him in my mind yet he kept showing up. He had my back and I didn’t even realize it, I should’ve have lived and I know I wouldn’t have had god not been with me, he had opened so many closed doors and made sure I took the right turns. He blessed me with miracles along the way. September 27th everything that happened to me finally caught up, I was done with living, I was blind to the miracles around me so focused on the pain and suffering that I was going through. I had no hope. God knew this, he knows my hardheaded self, he’s knows that I’m strong but I always get to a point of not wanting to be strong anymore. I get lost in my head listening to the devils lies. So god knew like every other time, that it was time to show himself, every time that I hit the point of giving up, and sometimes I even went through with it. But he met me in the fire each time and said you’re not done. This time when he showed himself it was through a beautiful dog, like he was an angel from heaven. A lady has screamed from across the street and I see this dog about to get hit by a truck, coming straight to me with a big smile on his face, nobody knew where he came from so I let him come with me, this dog had puppy teeth but looked like a ball of light and wisdom, I named him Demi, short for Demi god, but I really called him baby d lol. I would teach him about the streets and what was right and wrong, to walk right next to me side, and he did just that. The day before this I had a rope and was ready to take my life, but I had the strong urge to wait, I used this rope as a collar for Demi. That morning 2 hours after I had him I told the house I was leaving and I was done with the drugs, I wanted to do better for Demi and didn’t want him around any of those people, so I did just that, knowing it would be dangerous sleeping on the streets again but I had Demi and that was all that mattered. I was at a gas station with him and someone from the house came up and told me I was dumb for wanting to be sober and I would never go through w it, he said the drugs made his life better and he was living a dream. My response was, I know me and I overdue it, I’m slowing killing myself and I could never do a little to get by without wanting more so I done with it all, I will never come back to this life. I want to live. During our little talk he managed to mace me without me knowing, I started to feel weird and sick so I left. Couple hours later I’m dehydrated, sweating, with a huge knot on my forearm with small knots across my wrist. I was so angry and felt like I was going crazy. I left go of Demi’s leash and left him. Then passed out a few blocks down by a tree near the gas station. Woke up to go find Demi with it still be night and we were gonna leave together and never look back. I find Demi but he’s dead on the side of the rode, I wanted to give up and ask for a spot at the house, beg for my life. But the spirit was so strong and I had grown to love Demi in that single day so I wasn’t going to let him down, I left that town. Found cops the next town over and was taken to the hospital after finding out my parents had put me up as a missing person thinking I could’ve been dead. I freaked out at the hospital as they judged me for not wanting a needle put in my arm and kept asking me if I wanted to die to get me thrown in the mental hospital. I was discharged and back on the streets, offered more drugs as I declined and kept walking forward because I knew god would bless me. And he did, a man at a gas station blessed me with food, water, and called my momma for me until she answered, my mom was coming to get me, I never thought she would accept me but here I am. A month and about a week I’ve been sober, I go to church and I’m now on texting terms with my best friend. I know that I had to go through the fire to realize my worth. God has a big plan for me, I grown so strong over the past few years and survived things with my heart still in tact, the devil has tried to take over my thoughts and make me believe otherwise. But it only made me stronger. Everything that happened to me was for a reason. And I know that is to help people get through this knowing they are not alone. I can’t wait until I can overcome the feelings and fully allow god into my life but it takes time to heal. Like you said in the song you are one of the few that made it through hell and came back stronger to help build everyone up. I’m on my way to help 💕

[@_tdtoast_3726]

Suicidal since 9 autistic and been abused a little. Last time was 18 60 mph pedestrian I didn’t break a bone. No internal bleeding. However I just found out recently that I had an injury from the crash. Got into drugs too shrooms lsd. And some others too. God has helped me and I keep failing. He’s always there even if I don’t feel him. I’m so sorry God i will be trying to listen to your voice more. I feel like I don’t and I should

Gotta Love yourself.... that's something EVERYONE has to remember.... Jesus included........the course in miracles talks about that very thing....to some extent, it basically says, healing will commence when you can love yourself enough to love endlessly without giving yourself away..... basically, self Love is needed to implement maximum effect
