Looking Beyond Our Disappointments | Timeless Truths - Dr. Charles Stanley

When you experience disappointments in your life, how do you respond? Do you respond by blaming yourself or do you look around for someone else to blame? In Looking Beyond Our Disappointments, Dr. Stanley teaches us how to look beyond our disappointments so that we don't surrender God given goals in our lives.

The Lord must be so pleased with you, Pastor Stanley that He has allowed you to live on through these videos while giving your physical body rest until we all receive our glorified bodies, so we can finally serve Him tirelessly for eternity.

Yesterday I was supposed to start working, everything was ready, but at the last moment, the boss changed his mind; that he doesn't need me anymore. I was so disappointed 😭😭 and hurt, but after listening to this sermon, I feel peace in my heart, for I know He is work for my good, He is preparing the best for me, His love never fails. Thanks you pastor Stanley, am very grateful Glory be to God forever and ever Amen.

Shit! What God do you have? I get constant disappointments. I guess praying in spirit in truth, to the Sovereign Father in heaven in the name of Christ and relying on his merits of righteousness, in his name alone, and his intersession at the right hand of the Father is just not working for me!

@@jamespython5147from the way you started the sentence might have something to do with your attitude!?

[@wendyj.3858]

When I think of my life’s troubles, I think that Jesus had troubles too and He paid the ultimate price for me. I don’t like pain, suffering or disappointment, but I’m sure Jesus didn’t either. Together we suffer with Jesus. When I think of things that way, I feel less alone and scared.

[@CatsPajamas23]

This message hit the basic principle: will you obey? ("If you love me, keep my commandments." ) FAITH WORKS BY LOVE. The enemy KNOWS THAT. HE WILL TRY TO MAKE YOU DOUBT GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU, OR YOUR LOVE FOR GOD; or try to get you to brush aside the Holy Spirit and his leading or warnings.

God knew I needed to hear this today. One thing I hold onto through disappointments it knowing that God is the same everyday. I might change but God does not.

[@NoreenHoltzen]

The difference between Christians and others is that we can be weak, sick and fail, but celebrate our weakness as sickliness knowing that god encourages it. Our feeling of moving away from God is ironically what brings us closer to God. Feeling guilty it’s what makes us Christian. My non-Christian friends just don’t have this guilt but I’m afraid to separate from God to not reach heaven so I have no choice but to feel this guilt. I am sure that feeling guilt is really an important part of being a real Christian. Sickliness and guilt brings us together as true Christians. Together and down, but together beneath Him.

Lord I pray for a solid foundation and home for me and my family lord we have had it ruff but I know you will provide and I'm thankful for the blessings you have gave me and my family

[@Rick-cb4ge]

JESUS LOVES YOU & ME...AMEN

[@TRUSTJESUS33]

I know the Lord gives us FREE WILL. To trust or rely on Him is a choice! However, Do you truly want to live your life in a raft boat all by your self when that huge storm is approaching you, no one to hope in or to look after you or care about you or love you? I rather choose to trust in Jesus and allow Him to be in charge of my life. I'm going to get a polyp on my cervix removed at the end of August. I am going to totally trust in the Lord that this will not be cancerous. Even though the DR said it looks slightly irregular in appearance. The Lord knows and sees all. I surrender my life to Jesus, you should to!!

Listen up people, pastor teaching! In the midst of this pandemic we all need to lend an ear. To God be the glory.

[@jamespython5147]

People also need to learn that the 'love' of God is not what we think it is. For starters, God loves himself and his work more than he loves us. The millions that are in hell now are there because he loves his own will and justice more than those suffering in hell. The same is to be applied to believers, his own will and glory is more important than our wants and needs. God being NOT a loving caring kind benevolent being to us is all part of the punishments for sin and for his own glory. This is TRUE punishment indeed, that God deliberately becomes cruel and unkind towards us, not for an particular sin that we have committed, hence Jobs words about his on suffering, but the sufferings of the church.
