"Seeing Your Future With Faith, Not Fear" with Pastor Rick Warren

[@miket9732]

Thank you Pastor Rick. I am consumed with fear over covid. Anyone who reads this please pray for me to have faith and not fear. Thanks, mike

[@oksanamac776]

Do not watch the news

[@ashleyhollman5959]

Hey Mike. I was once so afraid of Covid too. I’m praying for you. I’ve been reading DO IT Afraid by Joyce Meyer also but for me being afraid of Covid is a real problem as I work in healthcare.

[@mariamassocattodabe]

Jesus is bigger than covid or any disease. Focus your eyes on our savior and healer. Speak life and health over you and your family. Amen! God is good and sovereign over all!🙏🏼❤️😊

[@tecnochata]

@ Mike t ...focus on the things of HEAVEN. Read your Bible. Repeat out loud his promises. Scream them if necessary and feel his presence and infinite love surrounds you. Praying for you. In the name of JESUS.

[@gregavitia33]

You are loved Mike. You are loved by an almighty God who calls you to his service. Your life is in his charge. He has a perfect plan for you. He will never leave you or forsake you. Lift your eyes and gaze upon his glory. You are loved...

[@sylviagonzales5524]

I pray for you Ma Mck that you may have peace and joy during this time and put your focus on our Lord for he is the life and the light during this time.

[@homirasharif3516]

Stay strong - God will give you strength and guidance.

[@blessyimmanuel6821]

Same here. Please pray for me too

[@rockd3021]

I’m full of fear and anxiety and I’m struggling with addiction to marijuana... Please PRAY for me! Saddleback!

[@BittyPenny]

Rock D May the strength of the Lord take hold of your mind, body and soul in such a profound way that your living testimony will free you of the fear and anxiety in your life. I too tend to suffer from anxiety from time to time. I went to counseling which helped and I had a realization that all of my anxiety was based in fear. That I had spiritual warfare going on. After two years of being nearly fully anxiety free it surfaced again last week. It is always scary and unsettling. I had a sense of hope that I had not had before because I knew it was temporary and that it doesn’t define me. When I feel it coming on I tell myself FAITH BIGGER THAN fear and that those anxious feelings are not God’s purpose, seed or promise. Therefore, they are not serving God or me. I hope my experience and empathy can serve you today. I have already prayed for you and will do so again. In fact, you let me know I am not alone and neither are you.

[@rockd3021]

@@BittyPenny Thank you. I really appreciate that.. To know that I’m not alone is giving me strength to keep moving forward! I agree with everything you said!

[@eternalsecurityofthesaints9581]

I've struggled, as a child of God, with marijuana for many years. I would quit, then after a season of believing I was focused on God, I would be led astray by temptation and fall again. I came to an epiphany after hearing this story: A man went around a certain town with a mission to destroy all alcohol. Going door to door, he would enter a house and destroy all the bottles he found. After a week, he returned to the first house, and to his dismay, there was alcohol in the cupboard. He then realized something, the bottles were not the problem, but the factory producing the bottles was. We are the factory. Once we realize the problem is not the things we do, but who we are, we can grasp the new life Jesus offers, and the rest he promises. To let out that breath of surrender, and focus on the freedom we have in Christ, we can begin to relax. Failures will arrive, along with temptations, but after we fall, we get back up, wipe the dirt off, and move forward. We must move forward in surrender, waving the white flag.

[@yvonneenglish2914]

Keep praying and you will overcome the addiction. Have faith in yourself.

[@Francis_UD]

Put your trust in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and accept HIS BLOOD which washed away your sins. Amen?

[@eudaferreira6350]

Pastor Rick Warren, I'm so glad that God gave me the opportunity to meet you on the internet. That's was the greatter thing that happened to me in 2020. I've already talked to your people by e-mail. They're so polite and pleasant. I'm learning English and I've to take a proficiency test, so I practice listening to your sermons . God bless you. From Brazil to my favorite pastor.

[@joaniemiller4362]

My faith is flickering like a smoldering wick for the last two years. I want a clear vision for my future and my candle to burn bright. God help me . Im praying for God’s vision and the strength to walk in it. Thanks Bro Rick.

[@joadkison]

Keep gathering the Word of God into your heart.

[@joadkison]

Like Boaz had his servants go ahead of Ruth, God will go ahead of you and provide for you.

[@tcogfilipcenic8140]

You have to give up your old life,habits,thoughts and follow Jesus and repent truthfully.If not God can't make a breakthrough in your life cuz sin separates us from him,but he loves sinner.So if you want to have an honest relationship with him,you must trully repent and pray daily. Trust me im not any better then you,and i do fall down but don't willfully sin or that will destroy you.Seek the Lord be4 its to late and God will bless you!

[@CP-xu2pj]

From eyes of fear to eyes of faith! Amen.

[@SofiaGonzalez-lj1zn]

I needed this. I’m just adjusting my status here in the US and I’m close to get my green card now but due to unclear vision, confusion about my purpose, unbelief, I had thought and imagined to maybe go back to Mexico so many times but more lately. It has been a hard season for me since I moved two years ago. I’ve seen how God had place me on trials these whole time (not just on pandemic) in order to make a transformation in myself but the discourage and feeling of loneliness sometimes was unavoidable and therefore I end up drowning myself in negative thoughts and looking to go back. Thank you Pastor Rick!! For this series and for helping me to look at my future with Faith!!✨

[@Lottieloves287]

I just want to tell you that even though we are in a dark season of life, we are God’s children. He loves us and He IS IN CONTROL. Our relationship with God is not based on feelings, it is based on trust. Don’t let your anxiety, depression or panic attacks confuse you. I myself have suffered from anxiety for many years but I have learned that God will never fail me and will pull through for me, no matter how I feel. When I start feeling afraid I pray that He wrap his arms of love around me and make me feel secure, and He does. ❤️ No matter where you are, or how you are feeling- God loves you, and I do too. I’m sending you all a huge hug and lots of love. May God fill each one of your hearts with hope, peace, faith, strength, and happiness. I love you.

[@mayahonkonen]

Thank you for sharing this dear child of God. We need so much, I need so much God’s love in my life, just more Jesus in my life, just get closer to the Lord. Pray for me if you read this. God bless you more!

[@Resenbrink]

“In control”? What on earth does it look like when he isn’t I wonder

[@kmiller36]

That’s beautiful...🙏🏻

[@normag6944]

Amen🙏

[@philpetrone6426]

Dear Pastor Rick, I would like to thank you for your style in teaching. If you would have said that a Pastor of a Mega Church was going to guide me closer to the Lord, I would of said your nuts. Im sure that what Im telling you is something you already know by the growth of saddleback. Through out my life I desired to want to be closer to God and it always was a struggle because it was half hearted. You somehow are able to communicate the scripture in a way that keeps me yearning for more, and In a way I can understand.. No Pastor has ever been able to reach me like you have, so Thank you for your guidance, your example and your leadership. You are making a difference.

[@davidsonlawoffices]

As always Pastor Rick you have a timely message that the world needs to hear especially now.

[@esomsel4161]

I love that even though Caleb was in his 80s when he received his inheritance, he said he still felt strong and energized enough that he would enjoy it as if he were still young. Time passed but God blessed him with youthful energy. I ask God for things that I imagine may come when I am old. I don't know, but I know God is doing things now because of prayers in the past and that continue today. Would you please pray for my family to make the necessary changes that we can pay our bills and one day have a home? My husband and I have 3 boys in a small 2 bedroom rental. We are grateful but there is mold that has been making us ill. Our medical bills are piling up. We are both working but covid has really hurt my husband's business. He is also taking classes as he's a youth pastor. We will pray for you too! Thank you!

[@BittyPenny]

Sending your family prayers for blessings from God to continue to unfold in your life.

[@jeniferjahul7026]

I will pray for God to provide for your needs. I have been jobless for over 3 years and yet I have seen God's hands and provision in my life. He knows your situation and He will intervene when the time is right. I pray that He will give you a better home where you will be comfortable and healthy and that He will bless you and your family abundantly as you continue to pray in faith.

[@mayahonkonen]

Dear Erika, I pray that God answers all yours and your family needs in His great way. Just don’t afraid just believe just give praise to our Almighty God. Jesus will never give up on you! God bless you.

[@jonathanberry1420]

God will provide! Sending my prayers.

Praying for your family

[@Carolina-tb4zv]

I was reading Numbers 13 and was writing notes. The very first question that popped was, why was it necessary to send spies to the land? in my simple mind i thought, well you gotta find out if there is work there before you move there. and then i saw your podcast on Insta and I was like wow!!!! it was like God talking to me face to face answering my inquisitiveness. Thank you Ps Rick Warren for allowing God to make you a vessel so we can be blessed with more understanding. I truly believe that God uses so many vessels to speak to us. If we search for Him with all our hearts, He will never disappoint us. God bless you and your family exceedingly Ps Rick

And to stay connected and directed by God's love. Also thank you for sharing your awareness of the love and example from Jesus, and the help given by the Holy Spirit... so much encouragement , thank you so much for having your talks on you tube.
