Where do you feel like you are escaping to?

[@yordenisperalta8056]

I live in NJ and Im from Dominican republic. Im trying to obey God and stand still in the season that Im right now, its so hard to believe sometimes 😢 when you focus on doing the right thing all the bottles appear and when you live in the world I feel like people are doing fine.

[@user-wc7wp8iq6b]

I'm escaping with the illumination of Christ.....❤

[@AspenRootsCounseling]

Anywhere else but here

[@BrandyinIndy]

As a recovering addict, my escape is now reading my Bible, Prayer, Worship and being in the Presence of the One True God!!

[@Listen_To_Hillsong_2]

I'm 14 and I was lukewarm for long time.I was about to give up on God but God never gave up on me, Now I live for God and accept Jesus as my Lord and savior

[@ruthmendez8118]

But if you ever want anyone to pray for you love, please reach out to me. I would love to pray for you! NEVER give up love, God will NEVER leave you not forsake you!! Blessings to you and your family and friends!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️🙌🏻🙌🏻🤍🤍

[@ChildofGod315]

Heavenly Father please continue to give me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I face challenges that can seem impossible especially with raising two children with special needs. Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children and I feel so alone. I’m constantly in fear. At times I want to give up. Jesus give me strength and renew my faith.💕

[@jmsquad4044]

God provides in his time. His time is not our time. Never give up on God! ❤

[@rozanneramauthar1891]

Jireh. He is enough. You are experiencing the gift of long suffering. Reas Galations about the gifts of the spirit. God will never leave you nor forsake you. He is ever with his children. No matter what

[@taramarienixon9915]

Praying for you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Just keep your faith strong know that God will never leave you nor forsake you and he will never put on us more than we can handle. Never forever that love!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🤍🤍🙌🏻🙌🏻✝️✝️

[@nontsikelelonyathi6788]

May you find comfort in Ephesians 3:20....God is able to meet all our needs and so much more and his power is in us to carry these burdens until he removes them. His Grace is always sufficient for each day. Praying for you sis. Being a single mom can be challenging.... But he loves you so so so much❤

[@LindaStokes-ff2kv]

[@EmailGmail-n4g]

I have been asking God for an answer, I asked so many times over and over, but he already answered, but because it wasn't the answer I wanted, I went ahead and do what I thought was right.. I still asked for answers, but I came to KZbin today for a song to calm me, I selected your video, and the more I watch, the more answers I get...

[@taramarienixon9915]

[@Hillsong_Worship_Greatest98]

I was Muslim and converted to being a follower of our lLord Jesus Christ..I prayed to God one time with all my heart and asked him to show me if he’s real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in God’s name one day to bring this gift of true love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen ❤❤❤❤🙏

For all of you that can’t understand Steven so deeply I want to say he means a relationship with anyone and anything it could be a relationship with a person it could mean obviously that’s what sounds like, but it can be a relationship with alcohol, illegal substances, your job…etc. You know whatever you are basically addicted to, it can make you feel like you need that to survive. I love everything about this family. The Furtick are the best. Amen God thank you for putting these people on earth.
