There will always be people who hurt you, undermine you, talk behind your back, diminish your accomplishments and will judge you, but be not afraid, you are not worthless and not alone because He is with you.

His sermons are interesting, and has been of great support for me. Another day, I prepared a healthy meal to go visit a friend. It was a Friday, and before going to bed, a deep insecurity fell down my heart about the food I prepared… i started thinking what if they hate my food… what if my name is totally compromised because of my food? Then o Saturday morning, I woke up with a sore throat, with a bad feeling that I wasn’t going to be even welcome. However, I said to myself, I’m not gonna let the evil control my life. I am going to visit this 80 year old friend and her family. I already ate this food, I’m alive and strong, and if they don’t like it, it’s up t9 them, but my intention is to bring a good news to someone who has been facing osteoporosis and I have this food that is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acid, and much more, so I’m not going to listen to the devil, I am going to visit my friend. Afterwards, my friend loved the food I made for them, even the dessert. We talked, shared experiences about the Bible, and I was able to sing to her(there was no sore throat at all), and we prayed. I came back home feeling victorious and crying because God blessed the visit, the food, and everything ❤ the power of confronting the evil thoughts aren’t easy, but as I hear in the sermon “Refusing Negative Seeds, and now this one), I can say, no, I’m not that bad person, I’m not sick, I am going to bring the good tidings of the gospel, I will worship the almighty Lord, Jesus Christ.

I have been living in self doubt Low self-esteem and depression on and off for many years, blowing through jobs cause I didn’t know where I sit not using my God-given talents suppressing myself, staying alone and not reaching out to others to help open doors to my destiny, I have a lot of great ideas of where I wanna go in life and all of that keeps me from doing it, trying to reinvent yourself at my age tough but in gods name anything is possible I get up every morning and listen to one of joals Sermons slowly but surely he’s putting me on my road to my destiny

[@mwelukimindu5175]

Thank you Brenda, I am in the very same situation as you are.I feel stuck and even when I pray,I doubt God will help me. I continue to pray, I wish I could believe in myself and God.

@Chris 😇😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️ YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT…❤️ Be well be blessed my friend

[@Blue1Sapphire]

I have known of people similar your situation and one thing that needs to be identified is do u harbour any resentments? For these hidden thoughts, create a barrier to further spiritual growth and in fact take us into the devils territory where he can attack us. There are many things that can lead us down this path towards resentment, forgiveness is key, for God said vengeance is mine, I will repay. I mention this for many unknowingly have these thoughts lurking in the background and work as an anchor to stifle spiritual growth. .

[@JohnWick54935]

Joel, I drive for a transportation company that transports special needs individuals. I listen to your sermons every day. At first, I just had you in one ear. Then I thought well maybe I would let my three non-verbal speaking individuals listen. One of them is a loud noise maker, but when I turn you on, she will become silent. Even to these individuals God has his ways.

[@karenzimmerman6867]

What do I do when it's a family member, constantly negative. I live in her house, and can't afford to move any place nearby. It is pain that holds me in sin, I believe I can & Will become who God has created me to be, The pain I give to God along with my relief/sin which could turn to addiction. Finish what is started. Thank God/Jesus for saving me, giving me strength and courage to know that the pain will ease, healing and victory is the goal. Victory in ❤name of Jesus. Amen
