I've Been Hiding Something From You

[@amanda8399]

Yes!!! Amen!👏🏼🙌🏼 My husband , who is 43 now, had to get on disability back in 2015 bc his health totally crashed. His issues are from military vaccine injury. Just wanted to follow the Lord and provide for his family BUT God has chosen not to heal him and he has peace about it. Covid almost killed him. It put him on the vent, had two strokes that took his balance and right side eye sight in both eyes, extensive lung damage to otherwise healthy lungs, BUT GOD spared his life and he has no anger or confusion towards GOD. Remarkable and a true testimony of GOD’s peace and strength in a man of God. Both of you have mighty testimonies of that promise to “ never leave or forsake you” given by our Lord. ❤

[@EmptyHammock]

His story makes my heart sing. Please tell him I said hi. Tell him to shout and scream his faith and peace in Jesus from the rooftop. People need to hear it! 2 Corinthians 1:3-11. Read it a thousand times and LIVE IT. YES!!!!

I hear you. Relationship with Jesus is our faith. I did this several years ago. I now live freely not under doctrine but love for Jesus. It's amazing and life changing. Being our authentic self before our creator is healing in itself, and to talk to him and not just pray. No hiding behind righteousness. Wish you well with strength and love 🙏

God Bless you Barry. I’m 74, got saved at 23, I needed to hear this tonight. We all have a perception of our walk with Jesus, and religion isn’t what He’s after, the fellowship with one another strengthens our faith, teaches us many things, but the Word and fellowship with Him is what gets us through to the other side!

[@shijshi]

When I hear testimonies of people being angry with God or blaming God, I think it is a direct result of false beliefs. Religion is not the same as a personal relationship with God. Thankfully, I have never blamed God or been mad at God. However, I have blamed religion and been mad at religion. Religion can do a great deal of damage. To be set free, I needed to learn to study the Word without the preconceived beliefs from childhood religious teachings.

[@myalabamahome1125]

Thank you for sharing how God has used your suffering to draw you closer to Him. I'm so happy to hear that you are experiencing some relief! One reminder that I received from your testimony is I must be mindful of the fact that people around me may be going through something very difficult that I don't know about. God bless you, Barry.

That's an excellent point that I actually hadn't thought about. Thank you.

[@erinmcquade4715]

I love how you emphasized the importance of the personhood of Christ Jesus. He was a physical man and is a still accessible as a person. I have visions of Him in the flesh. He has revealed Himself to me and is real to me. I was everyone could encounter not just Holly Spirit but the person of Jesus in this way. I humbly plea everyone that listens to Barry today has the personhood of Christ awakening! Thank you for sharing your story brother Barry.

Barry, I too have suffered from chronic pain (physical and emotional) for many, many years. No matter what, God IS enough. We are not meant to understand everything we go through in this life, and sometimes certain things are revealed to us. Barry, you’re a wonderful Christian man, a wonderful husband and father, and a wonderful son. Thank you for this testimony. It has helped a lot of people. God bless you!!!❤️

[@hangryzombit535]

I suffered for 3 years with cronic migraine, I understand what enjuring pain feels like, you tell yourself: "just get through one more day" over and over like a broken record, you go through the motions and suffer silently as to not burden your friends or family, and you search for an answer wishing it'd come sooner, hoping there is one. Barry, I'm glad you're finally getting out. I can't describe the overwhelming gratitude I feel every day that I'm pain free, for everything life has to offer. I'd wish it to have never happened, but at the same time I think I'd have less appreciation for life, and less empathy for others, if I'd never suffered.

Hi Barry, thank you so much for sharing your story. I know in doing so you will be helping so many people.

He has been praying and begging God to heal him, not realizing he was fighting with the process exactly as you described. He is also finally doing the holistic approach. We often times put limitations on God & we want things to be easy for ourselves. I am so happy you have gotten all the help you needed. God is the Utmost.

Barry, God has you. I was starting to have pain. My feet really hurt, it was slowing me down. I prayed, asking God if I was going to have to sell the Homestead that He provided for us because I was not going to be able to do what needed to be done if the pain continued to worsen. Then I started to get certain videos in my feed. I don't know why. I checked scriptures, just to be sure what they were saying squared with God's word. I made the change, my pain is gone and I am healthier than I have been in a while. Here is the beginning, Genesis 9:3-4. If God wants you to go in the direction I have gone, I pray He uses that scripture to direct you.

[@privatepilot4064]

I know exactly what you’re saying. And I did the same thing you did. I had been in horrific chronic pain. The kind where you can’t sleep and it almost literally drives you insane. Mine was lower back. My daughter stated massage therapy school and needed a “study”. Well, I’m a disabled vet and the VA couldn’t help me. So I started letting her practice on me at her school. The first time she worked on me I started crying because of the pain relief. I couldn’t believe it! Since then I’ve coupled massage therapy with chiropractic and it’s helped me phenomenally. God did that for me. The VA no longer allows me to go to massage therapy with chiropractic so I’m toughing it out right now. But I’m getting numb in my hands and feet and I’m going to have to pay for it myself. God is good. He loves us more than we love ourselves.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Go urself U don’t need the VA to give their permission Chiropractors will often put u on a payt plan so u can come often at first then gradually come less and less Hopefully ur daughter will just keep the massages up!

Dear brother your experience is very similar to my own. Horrible pain and chronic fatigue! I went forward for healing so many times and nothing happened. I had been steeped in performance driven Christianity. During that perplexing time I begged the Holy Spirit to show me what God was really like. I asked him to show me the gospel. He did!!!!!!!! My paradigm of God has radically shifted. I have joy and peace. Through a 13 year process, I was getting untangled from religious programming and at the same time I was slowly getting better. I am pain free and I'm thankful for that but even more so I know now I am loved unconditionally by our heavenly Father!

[@GinaSiska]

My daughter was Dx with anorexia in high school (I was blind to it and God literally said to me during her track meet, “ You need to do something or she’s going to die!” I came from a WOF and prosperity false doctrine and was in the mind set oh we can just command this to go away in the name of the Jesus. But that didn’t work so I went through the anger at God and was losing faith. I was at my breaking point, I was about to cry out, 1 of 2 things ( and one wasn’t good), I cried out ‘Holy, holy, holy is the God Almighty, who was and is and is to come; He alone is worthy of all honor , glory and praise…hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah!!!! ‘Though He slay me yet will I trust Him.’ Suddenly the burden was lifted off of me and I knew in my spirit that God had it. God showed me verses against the prosperity and WOF false doctrine. It’s not about how much faith you have, what you try and decree or how much you tithe; it’s about total surrender to Jesus. He saw her through 5 years of in and out of hospitals and our mental anguish; fast forward and this fall she’s going to be a senior at Liberty University!!! Thank you so much for your testimony it’s helped me so much!!

[@jenniferwoodville2552]

Thank you for sharing Barry. It’s amazing how God’s timing and providence are always perfect. My problem wasn’t chronic pain just plain simple pride. I had an “I can do it my self, my way” attitude and God let me…for years. Finally there was nothing left of myself and He was right there waiting for me in the most miraculous, loving way. Surrender was the only option. Now that the true depth of my own stupidity has been made VERY clear, my prayer life has turned into “Lord, you know how dumb I am so hit me upside the head with a 2x4 if you have too”. We serve a good God. You and Molly and your kids have my prayers. So grateful to hear your testimony.

[@EmptyHammock]

Thank you. It's been quite the experience. But please understand, I have no religious beliefs in the way most people think. Religion is a man-made construct. I found peace directly from Jesus himself. There is a HUGE difference. :)

Hi thank you for sharing your story I also have chronic pain / Fybromyalgia had to stop working 2015 that was hard became very depressed but faith gets you through I live with the constant pain and take each day as it comes that’s all you can do stay strong much love 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@EmptyHammock]

Fibromyalgia is a big fancy word for "we have no idea".. I wont go into exactly what it was for me because it was extremely specific to me but what I will say is that you need to find a holistic doctor who can look at your body outside of the western medicine model. ...that, and never eat refined sugar.. That's a good idea no matter what.. :)

[@winniallison5857]

Thank you for being vulnerable, what a wonderful testimony . Just what I needed to hear today.

[@debbie960]

I needed to hear this from you. I dont deal with pain, but anguish. It has crippled my life and i feel drowned. I have felt like i had a good relationship with God, but lately that has developed into fear of him and im not sure why. So, yeah, i needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing

[@EmptyHammock]

Jesus loves you dearly.. :)

[@melissatamer9193]

A beautiful, beautiful testimony. Your faith is a blessing. ❤

[@tishhumphrey131966]

Awesome and beautiful, isn't it?! Having that awakening is almost indescribable. I fully surrendered about 9 months ago and the deep peace that resides in my soul KNOWING and TRUSTING through ALL storms that HE is right here with me gives me the confidence and fearlessness to face it all. Pain, anguish, joy, suffering, blessings, you name it. I NEVER thought I could feel like this. Congratulations. Truly.

[@MarkKelly1307]

I appreciate your story. I suffer from intense chronic pain. It started when I, myself, was a minister at a church. I, too, sought answers and help. I never got them. Now, i've walked away from my faith altogether. I am just attempting to make it until it gets so bad that I need to do something. I guess my story is like the opposite of yours. I'm glad for you. Hope it all works out for you in the end. It doesn't always end like that - I wish it did. Cheers,

[@EmptyHammock]

Please dont walk away from Jesus because you are suffering. Read 2nd Corinthians 1. Please.

[@joecheffo5942]

I seem to be with you on this one. It seems that if God heals, that is evidence, and if he doesn't heal, that is evidence. If someone can show me any real evidence of God or such let me have it. I think religion gets in the way of humane treatment. Every religion says they are definitely the real one. I don't mind people having faith, but I wish we were like the Netherlands where people could choose to end their suffering if they want.

[@loydclayton5783]

Thank you for your testimony! It was truly appreciated and uplifting! I am glad you are feeling better and glad the Lord helped you to get to where you needed to be, even as hard and painful as it was. God is good and how privileged we are to be loved by Him !

[@neonathomahill4460]

[@cherylbellardino5211]

Such a beautiful and inspiring testimony. Thank you for sharing. It has touched my heart in ways unimaginable. May He continue to bless you and your family.

[@SandraHammond-r1h]

What an awesome testimony!! God brought you to a deep relationship with Him. How amazing!! It’s not about what He can do for us it’s about seeking His presence and trusting Him. Amen, hallelujah!!

[@EmptyHammock]

Yes. :)

[@rockyroadranch72]

What a blessing your testimony is! I just love you and your parents and your children. God bless you and the work God has for you to do. Surrender daily. ❤

[@EmptyHammock]

Yes

[@Karlthegrubber]

I’m praying for you from Ireland.

[@EmptyHammock]

Thank you Karl

[@jenarmstrong118]

Amen! I can relate in that I suffered through horrible depression for many years but when I was at my very darkest, He was all I had. It was both the worst and best time of my life. I wouldn't trade it for anything because there was no doubt in my mind that God was right there with me. As hard as things can be, what a blessing it is that we, as believers in Christ, depend fully on Him, especially in those moments. Our trials grow us in life but they also grow us closer to Him. That makes it all worth it! Thank you for sharing!

[@storytellersharonkirkclift6399]

Thank you, Barry, for your testimony. It is such a blessing. God bless you and your family.

I developed non diabetic peripheral neuropathy in 1999 and it slammed the brakes on my life very quickly. Ive lived with burning pain in feet and hands every day since. Guess what....it saved my soul. It cut out the noise of life and pointed me right into His presence. As you said, the pain stopped mattering and i eventually learned to function around it. The meds were too much and the relief actually came from soaking socks and cloth gloves in spring water which masked the pain until it eased. Just that simple thing has allowed me to help others with the same neuralgia. Others have told me that my attitude is amazing. Nope....just replaced my priorities and understood that He's already declared me as a winner, just need to finish the race. Brother, your story is one shared by millions who suffer and found peace unexpectedly. Push on and keep being an inspiration.

Great testimony, thank you Barry. God bless you and your family 🙂

[@usakiwi5222]

Thank you for sharing Barry. You are spot on, it's our relationship with Jesus. It's His power and strength. He is our everything. A sister in Christ Jesus, Karen in FL

[@EmptyHammock]

Thank you Karen..

[@shadegarden7375]

I live in that kind of pain also…collapsing spine, neuropathy in my feet and legs…slowly having to quit different fun activities…swimming, racketball, walking, cleaning my home, etc. Then Lymphoma. Then diverticulitis which prevented me from taking any pain medicine. Then Arthritis in EVERY single joint of my body and so forth. I had doctors asking me how I could function!! Several people would ask me if I had prayed for healing. I would think heck yes! But, God has not chosen to heal me, I learned that God is with me throughout the storm and this was a testimony of my faith and belief and God’s steadfast care and love!!! Look at how God is using you and your testimony right now brother!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Thanks for you and thanks be to God for your learning and new wisdom!!

[@wendyburston3132]

Thank you for sharing your experience with Jesus. I shared my experience with the Lord with my husband and could barely get the words out because of how deeply painful it was to go through. So for you to share so openly with all of us is precious and deeply moves me.Some of it was shared experiences with the care of and death of loved ones. And on top of that I was still recovering from post concussion syndrome which had also affected my ability to do my job. very stressful. But pouring my heart out to the Lord each night as I walked our dog alone by the quiet train tracks drew me so close to Him and I would never trade that experience for better circumstances. The Lord does draw near when you cry out to Him. And it is a two way conversation. During one walk, thoroughly exhausted I let slip, "oh Lord, I really need a sabbatical". Immediately I said, like that's going to happen. I felt the closeness of the Lord. It wasn't until I my boss called me to tell me he wanted me back at work after being let off for a year during covid that I realized that the Lord's answer to me had been, "yes". Jesus is a precious friend that is closer than any brother. He didn't save us reluctantly. He really does love us.

[@darlenebrowning6832]

I’m glad you are feeling better❤

[@annieford1497]

Thank you for sharing your testimony!! I needed to hear this today! I'm so sorry you have had to endure such pain! Thank you for your vulnerability and your honesty. It is speaking to me! Praying for your full recovery and for God to continue to use you to help others! God Bless you and your family!

[@MAShurts1]

That is an amazing testimony!! Helps put things into perspective. Peace be with you!!

[@t.j.m3987]

Yes I went through that too until an Angel held me down on the floor of the church until I surrendered my whole life to God.❤️
