This is really beautiful, edifying and has wonderful reminders from the Lord Himself, thank you for your work, God bless you and I'm blessed to be here hearing sound word🥰!🙌

[@Zarysazane12345]

Needed to hear this my mom passed away (in her sleep) earlier this month. My apartment is also kicking me out, and my church hasn't helped me as much as I'd thought they would in these times. Thankfully God provides in both likely and unlikely places. Now thanks to his steadfast love and my humbled sincere prayers and tears The Lord provides. God Bless amen.

God Bless you, I hope everything looks up for you in the future 🙏

[@jidoorifalcon]

Shame on them for not helping you so much. I don’t know the whole situation, but God’s people should be walking in a manner worthy of the gospel and demonstrating the love of Christ. ❤ I will be keeping you in prayer. Do you have a paypal or cash app for us to send money to you?

[@jellyfishwithwifi6870]

I’m sorry for your loss…I pray that God will continue to look after you and help you, now and always. There’s a verse from Scripture that I like to remember, I recommend reading Job 1:21. There’s plenty of verses from Scripture that help me keep my faith in Him and this is one of them. I pray for you and wish you all the best.

[@JOSSYxxGG]

Sorry for your loss, god will look after you and when the time comes he will reunate you with him and your mother again and will live happily ever after. Amen

Psalms 34:17-22 (KJV) 17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

❤ Psalms 34:1-22 (KJV) 1 [[[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.]] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [thereof], and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him. 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing]. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry. 16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.❤

[@cometojesuschrist8665]

God bless you brother ❤

[@elijahching]

Everything here was amazingly said. God bless you Blake. We must also remember the scripture: John 14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." to not make an excuse for our sins. Yes "God works for the good of those who love Him" but if we love Him we will obey him. So our continued repentance is required for God to work in our lives for His good.

[@Blakecheekk]

Well of course we have to obey God, I never said otherwise.

[@Blakecheekk]

[@lukeman4566]

Beautiful message, I wouldn't say for my glory though, definitely all things work together for my good as it is translated in the Bible. It is important to have that humble position of realizing we are incapable of not sinning in our freewill. The duality of the Gospel is of course that we are children of God, and God's love for us is our glory. Anything in my life, even if it seems to glorify me, should be given to God, because all glory is His. Without God I don't even exist, so every achievement and day on earth is His. Without God I certainly wouldn't be capable of denying sin, as I am today, without His strength. Never be afraid to share your witness with others, no matter their reaction, it is our duty. They so hated Jesus, how much more will the world hate us. Encourage others towards a relationship with God with all love and patience. Remember Jesus loves you all, seek a relationship with God through His Word to find true fulfillment

[@xano9749]

It's just been so confusing and suffering lately. It feels like no one is speaking to me and everyone is far. I try to tell them how I feel but of course what they say doesn't feel to fit in me. I appreciate it all but I realized that only now that God's words ease me. But even so it's so difficult lately with the problems and brokenness I feel and loneliness. I don't even know if I explained it right but it's all a mess and chaos rn. I just want to know what God is fixing and doing right now. Because it really is painful.

14 years in a row I've had no money($400). To the world it looks like my Life is at it's worst. To me, it's never been Greater. 23 Building Trades and that's not even all my Skills, 1000+ Books Read, Produced My Own Music Demos(Selah), etc. Suffering is mentioned many times in the Gospel. I like suffering for other people truly in need of His Grace somewhere. I lay up ALL my treasure in Heaven anyways. Why not cheerful giving, share in suffering, rejoice in suffering, share blessings, love, be kind, forgive, thanksgiving(not the holiday), etc? The Son of God requires Mercy in this Lifetime. Take Heart and Keep Faith. The suffering now is nothing to His Glory! His Power is made Perfect in weakness! 😊🙏♥️

Thank you for this, im so thankful it popped up in my feed. I was free from the addiction of porn and masturbation for over a year, but all of a sudden this Spring has turned into a "season of sin" like you said. The last time (two days ago) before I gave in I remembered the Holy Spirit, living in me, and then decided to give in to my lusts anyways. It has done so much damage to my faith, and I know if there's one thing I dont need to question it's God's love for me, but I feel so separated from Him, I can FEEL the Holy Spirit not being as strong in my life or my actions, and I don't know what to do but pray and read scripture and humble myself. Please pray for me, I'm having a hard time believing that I'm forgiven I guess, so please, even if you can just take one second out of your day, pray.

[@Blakecheekk]

[@In_time]

It took me a while to realize God is a very “the end justifies the means” type and that’s great if you’re God and are already seated peacefully in _the end_ in paradise. But for the rest of us that live in the slowburn hell of _the means,_ day in and out, it doesn’t give much comfort to be told, *”one day* things will be better.” If He can make a difference in our everyday life, why doesn’t He?? What Father treats His children this way? Ask the hard questions...

[@Blakecheekk]

Life is full of suffering. We’re not toddlers, good things take time and suffering. Who are you to say how God should run things? Did you create all things?

[@In_time]

@@Blakecheekkthat’s classic Christianese. Anytime someone tried to hold the Lord accountable for His actions.. when Job asked about his own suffering... the questions never answered but questions simply posed in turn: _”well who are you to say xyz??” And “where were you when the earth was formed??”_ But who gave us our minds and hearts and a sense of justice (and _injustice)_ in the first place?? Who gave us the ability to ask questions but then says _But dont ask ME questions!_ ?? As I said before: people should ask the hard questions. What Father treats His children this way?? If wicked parents can give good gifts, -how much more so the Lord- whats Gods excuse for ongoing suffering??

[@alistair1879]

@@In_time Hey there, I like your comment and wanted to give it a reply. Don't worry, christianese isn't my native language. I think asking questions like you have is very worthwhile. It helps us grow in our faith, and as you remarked, Job did the same. And God said, "Job spoke rightly." Job 42:7 What encouraged me when I had similar questions to these is the person of Jesus(Hebrews 12:1-11), along with many other saints, old and New Testament: We are adopted children of God; he is the original son of God, so when we are disciplined, he is the perfect example of what to look to if we were to endure perfect discipline. He also endured discipline, but far worse than us: he bore every temptation; think about that... Imagine having to suffer temptations of body dysphoria, PDFiler, temptation to rape, murder and more(maybe you don't have to imagine). He suffered it all, and he's the example we are called to follow after. "Take up your cross and follow me". Matthew 16:24-26 Isaiah called him a "man of sorrows" and "acquainted with grief". Isaiah 53:3. God treated his only *son* to a life of homelessness followed by torture on a cross naked, topped with the worst torment a man could suffer; the wrath of God poured out on him. (Isaiah 53:4-6 )(Isaiah 53:10) John the Baptist was treated to a life in the wilderness followed by a beheading, knowing that Jesus could've saved him at any moment and didn't; be encouraged by his doubt(Mathew 11:2-6). The holy spirit led most of God's apostles to gruesome deaths and lives filled with sorrow. This was their portion of discipline(2 Corinthians 1:8). Often, the church looks over these things to focus on joy, but sorrow is there in its abundance. Consider this though: they thought the joy set before them was so great that they would endure all these things. See: .Hebrews 12:2 .Romans 8:17 .James 1:12 .Romans 8:18 Also, consider how the material promises are mere shadows of the real glory awaiting us. *Hebrews 11* If God fulfilled his earthly promises to people like Joseph and Abraham, will he not also fulfil the heavenly promises that await us? I could go on and on, but I hate writing.

It does seem a little abusive?

[@Blakecheekk]

Does a father discipline his children?

[@Blakecheekk]

Does a father lead the family even when the family disagrees with his way?

[@chadkndr]

@@Blakecheekk True. I do wonder at what point does discipline become abusive? Discipline is for course-correction, but there are evils that extend beyond rehabilitation. Is cancer (just an example) discipline? Won't dive into the whole eternal punishment aspect of that, but it's all a little weird to me these days. Wish I could go back to the days when it was all beautiful.

[@Blakecheekk]

@@chadkndr abuse is done out of anger and frustration. Gods discipline is done out of love and for our good. He doesn’t let things happen to us for no reason. Remember, this life is short, God may let some things happen that involve suffering, but it’s for their eternities sake, which is literally infinite. Paul in the Bible asked God to take away something from him 3 times, but God never did. What may seem a curse from man, may be a blessing from God.

[@heraldhtoo1843]

Something is misleading. No person needs to sin To GLORIFY GOD. But for our sins that we had committed in the past or just until now, if we repent and come to GOD, GOD will help you get rid of your sin and HE will give healing to whoever is a newborn and use him or her For HIS GLORY. If you are sinning right now, it is not right. You must know that you need to stop immediately. DO NOT EVER THINK THAT GOD WILL USE IT TO GLORIFY HIM while sinning. It is wrong. You PRAY IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NAME. By GOD'S GRACE and IN JESUS CHRIST POWERFUL NAME, All sins will lose the foothold in you and flee. TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST NAME.
