Surviving In The Flames / What My Typical Day Was Like While Suffering

Thank you for your help, 24 years old with debilitating anxiety and many years with strong tinnitus and palpitations, please pray for me. Thank you.🙏

I feel so blessed to be able to watch your videos. I have been healed from Panic Attacks but still have bad anxiety, and your videos have helped me immensely in my faith. I really can’t go 30 minutes without repeating Gods promises or surrendering Him now. I know it was a God thing that I found your videos! Thank you!!

Hey Emily! So cool sister. Any update on your trial? God bless you!!

[@emilyshockley2294]

@@davemoores5945 yes! After tons of prayer for a long time, I was healed :) I definitely think that while I was waiting on physical healing, God worked on healing me mentally and spiritually. That was the hardest trial I’ve ever been through, but I did it with community (my friends/prayer warriors were a huge blessing!) and Jesus alone, no medicine or anything :) thanks for checking in!

[@PoeticComments]

I fought the pain I tried to fix things on my own. I could not let go of what I was losing. It hurt. I cried and cried and cried out to God. Then I entertained the suicidal thoughts. I recently repented if entertaining them. I’m bored with life and felt hopeless but then I made a decision to hold on to Jesus. I fear letting go of Jesus hand. I’m holding on because He’s my only hope. Your videos have helped me. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏

[@itsmidtrib1569]

Amen brother. God is good. He wants us to give him everything..all our problems, our priorities and our firstfruits. Our suffering is not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us. Thank you for giving us a detailed testimony. God bless you.

[@Moody90524]

Hi Aaron I am inspired by your testimony, you have suffered a lot. God Bless you young man. I am 64 and have heart problems which cause me to suffer from time to time... I also have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. I have returned to the Lord in the last few years and I believe that my health problems caused me to examine my standing before God. I have turned from my sin and am fighting the good fight but it is not easy as you know. God has been merciful to me and like you articulate so well the trials are real and it is hard to wait for the Lord sometimes but he is faithful! If I can only be as faithful to him I would do well. God Bless you Brother.

Thank you for sharing the fact that even after surrendering you did not get instant relief. It is sometimes a long journey and just getting through a day is a major accomplishment. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@ansonhoward559]

You have really helped me so much. Thank you. I didn’t understand what surrender was. It wasn’t pretty. I just let myself drown in hopelessness and I told God he was going to have to save me. And he did

[@jbs9012]

Thank you for this. I had a sweet and encouraging time of relief from years of torment. The torment returned with a vengeance. I am in the midst of tapering from 30 years of antidepressants. I wish I never started but now the road ahead seems impossible. It helps to hear the key reminders..He allows the suffering, He promises to deliver and submit to God resist the devil.. I met with Dr. John as you recommended. Very helpful. Now in the wilderness. Keep it up Brother Aaron. You are a source of hope in a rather hopeless season.

[@joe2825]

Love ya brother Aaron. Hard to come by other afflicted brothers through the fire. I dont have another brother to relate to on this, nobody I know in church us going through this. Thanks for the encouragement again. I read alot of Spurgeon about suffering which also helps me along with the Psalms, Job ect. We share in Christs suffering. Ive had the same afflictions as you plus health affictions for 6 months now, totally out of the blue, to the point I cant hardly eat, gastro wont absord food from being fatigued so long with no sleep and look like death now but remeber brothers and sisters, do not be suprised at the fiery trial about to try you, but rejoice that you are partakers is Christ suffering! God also chastises us to make us holy and to submit to him. As the called of God, every second of our life, every second is predestined by God to conform us to Jesus. Dont resist or murmer, you are resisting your destination. It is God that works in you both to will and do of his good pleasure. I am still in the fire but can see Jesus formed in me now! Much more patient, loving and kind than I was 6 months ago. That is what suffering does, it purges our dross and makes us like Gold! Dont forget, when on earth out Lord had the continuously crushing of his own will to the Father, he humbled himself to the most severe chastisments and the Word said it made him perfect through suffering. God also makes us who are saved, share in similiar sufferings! He is conforming us to Christ so we will be glorified together with him! Praise the Lord! We will not be in our afflicted state 1 second more than needed!

[@davemoores5945]

I’m currently going through this. Sometimes I just ask God to take the pain away. Some days are better then others. I hold on to stress and pain in my back so when I’m feeling at my worst the sharp pain is unbearable. Although I say all that it has gotten better because I believe this is all for a purpose.Thank you for the reminder.

I think my trial is long because I was lukewarm and i only accepted Christ into my heart a year ago in 2019. So that's ten years turning away from God and relying on conventional treatments.

[@nicolefindlay5476]

Surrendering is a hard thing. How do you surrender your pain when it hurts so bad! I have rituals... prayer, asking forgiveness for thought sins and fighting thoughts with scripture. Should I surrender that also? It’s not working anyway !

[@aaronkim1074]

Yes, it is difficult; maybe the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. So, don't be discouraged if it takes time. The hurt is what helps you surrender. Don't give into being angry with God, but trust in Him that He is using it all for your good. Also, try and not get into a ritualistic mindset where you need to do something in order to be okay with God. If you are a child of God, you will always be His kid. He won't let go of you, but will carry you through this life. It's good though to pray regularly and repent of sin. You don't repent to stay saved, but you repent to restore your relationship with God if sin hurt your relationship. It is the same as a married couple when they get into an argument. Although they argued, they are still married; however, their relationship could be damaged. But, when they apologize, their relationship is restored. So, it is with us when we repent of our sins to God. Surrender all, and follow Jesus.

[@Saint-West]

I’ve been like this for over 3 years now…. Feel like God gave me this decree of death like He did with Moses, I don’t know what to do, or even what’s truth or deception. The Bible has been completely distorted since this started to scare me rather than comfort me. I’m so tired of whatever this is, and I pray it goes away soon.. All of my hope is in Jesus…

[@widdlesophiah]

I’m in the same trial as you from willful sin. It is horiffic. I feel close to death but desperately hanging onto the last thread of Jesus garment. I didn’t know this type of torment existed on earth. I no longer feel the Spirit, emotions, nothing, and have a hard heart. I am utterly terrified of God at this point. I just want to come back.

[@charitymerrill5893]

Does total surrender mean you just quit trying ? Can I just go to bed and quit? Or are you saying total surrender from the heart...I've done so good to not take anything for anxiety, nothing at all... Im so tired.

[@aaronkim1074]

Total surrender means to give yourself unconditionally to Jesus for Him to do as He pleases with you. Whether you live or die, you are in His hands. You are do what you believe God wants you to do in accordance with the Scriptures; however, you are to leave all the consequences to Him.

[@djentaman7009]

I wish I could discern the difference between what the causes of my sufferings are. I’m not trying to count the stars and understand all of creation exactly. I know I can’t see the future or why everything happens the way it does in my life. But I’m more than positive 98% of my suffering comes from my own sin as a Christian. Add the fact that I’ve done worse things since being saved then when I wasn’t. Bear in mind when I mean saved I don’t say confirmed by a pastor after a prayer but born again in my grandmothers backyard and receiving The Holy Ghost. I’ve come to know The Lord Jesus Christ but rarely do I honor Him with my life. I used to when I first got saved but now I contemplate how it all works and get angry. Not at God, just at myself. I have utter rage and contempt for my own being. I want the sin to end. I want to go home and be with The Lord Jesus. I don’t want to be here anymore.

[@aaronkim1074]

It sounds like you hate sin. That is a blessing. You cannot live the Christian life; only God can. He must live in and through you. Galatians 2:20 makes it plain: you died, and now Christ is your life. Let go. Stop trying. Surrender to God with your hands up. Tell Him the truth: you can’t live the Christian life. Then invite Him to take over as you totally surrender to Him. Then, trust in His promises, and simply rest in Him to do the living through you. I encourage you to read a book by FJ Heugel: Bone of His Bones. It has truths more valuable than a billion dollars. Don’t give up, but continue the good fight. God bless you.
