God Is In Control - Exhale #1 | Jonathan Pokluda

Sometimes it feels like life is fighting us, like God is fighting us, but He's not. God is actually fighting for us! Psalm 46 shows us that the protection of God is ever present, His power prevails, and that His protection and power give His people peace. In times of trouble, we have to learn not to rely on our own control but to lean on God's control. __

If you know demons exist, then you know something is there to defeat it, then you have to know and believe that God and Jesus exist. Thank you so much for posting this. When I play this and I'm home alone the room feels so much lighter. Thank you.

[@brutielee2470]

Twice, in the lowest parts of my life, GOD told me that, "HE gives and HE takes." I always have to remind myself of that!

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

This message has blessed me in this time of uncertainty. God is still in control! Thank you 😭🙏🏼♥️

[@TheFashiongirl05]

yes! i was here for the first series as my first night. thank you. please keep uploading these every week.

[@livesignificance8174]

Great message!!! Especially the part about holding onto life loosely. God is SOVEREIGN. He is in complete control. Whenever I attempt to take hold of the reigns, my life begins to unravel. Father help me to trust you everyday & in every way. You have great plans for my life. I pray that you will honor & bless my obedience.

God really has the control of everything and He takes care of each detail of our lives. Thanks for being a God's instrument of blessings for us.

[@traciewhite3334]

JP is most amazing person/pastor I've heard. He"s honest, speaks Gods word without adding or taking from it. I think what I love the most, is his personality and humor which he in cooperates in every message. I find myself laughing out loud constantly. I look forward to listening to Gods message everyday through him. I hope someday the Lord will bless me with a man that has the qualities JP has.. God has blessed JP for Monica, and Monica for JP. What an amazing Gift God gave them. Please pray for me, If you get this message. I've had a lot of suffering through out my life. I married a man that has been so evil and cunning. I lost everything while we were married and going through divorce, Including My condo I bought in 2008 with cash so I didn't have a mortgage payment, he stole all my furniture, and jewelry. The list goes on....I still live in turmoil from the aftermath . I was a victim of sexual abuse as a child and I have a mother that made it clear to me she loves me conditionally. She has a lot of wealth, and she took me out of her will giving it to the abuser. , because I married a man she didn't approve of. I also lost my brother to suicide which changed my life in such a dramatic way .While I was at my weakest point feeling such grief and hopeless the enemy crept in through a busboy at a fine dinning restaurant I was working at. It had been 8 months after his passing and I tried every anti Depressant out there. The enemy, lured me in by inciting me with a cure all that would relieve me of all the pain and suffering, Of course I was deceived and much of my life has been defective.... without meaning. As JP says" wasted time" I want so badly to be a Godly women that never sways again in my walk with Jesus Christ. My pattern is to go for long periods of time walking close to God, staying healthy , but when heartache or adversity arise I fallback to what numbs the pain. Even though the pain becomes even grater in the long run... Its truly insane.. What make it worst is I love to talk about God, my love for him and what hes done in my life, So when I mess up again and again I display or show people the very opposite. If I Never used and new someone like that I would stay far away from them .Its a mess a huge mess, that doesn't seem to be repairable.. Yes God can do all things but he also lets us rep consequences. That's what I fear the most is if I turn back and follow him completely how hard and long will the road be until I see a blessing, How much more pain and tears do I have to cry. I'm tired of feeling so sad.... . Please Pray for a break through and healing form deep wounds in my soul. I want to feel Gods love and peace.I truly want God in the center of my life, walking with me while growing into the person/ women he intended, Is that possible? Even though I may have damaged my mind? Please also pray that God will make miracles happen especially in my relationship with my children Matthew, Micah and Faith. Thank you

[@mech312]

Samantha Elice- I stand in agreement with you for the praying for our sister Traci White, Father lift her up in Jesus name. 1 Cor-10:13 God will never give you no more you can handle. Start quoting scriptures and repent of any sin. I pray God bring you peace in Jesus name, Amen

[@fj3094]

May God bless you abundantly dear

[@fj3094]

[@MostHighDwelling]

THEY DON’T WORSHIP SATAN IN HAITI. I WAS BORN IN HAITI AND I WAS RAISED CHRISTIAN AND SO WAS MY FAMILY. DONT SAY THEY AS IF ITS THE WHOLE COUNTRY

[@wttw4942]

Now wonder things are so fucked up! God have being in control the whole time.

[@andreworam2844]

This is just prosperity theology, wrapped up in a vague, motivational speech with some Scripture sprinkled in.

[@vincentmccrosky1394]

Where is your strength, Andrew? Where do you turn when life is terribly hard? I have tried to do itmyself and I just made it worst. Yet everytime I gave it to God and lived like He expected me to live, thing became easier and a peace came about like he says "God has your back." If you have a better way, share it with me. so I can know the same peace as you.

[@pappasc79]

That's what mainstream church basically is in America
