Oh and I love it when Dr Stanley says '" Are you listening? Say amen" I have been listening to Dr. Stanley from I was 23 and I'm 67. That's a lot of years of mentoring and encouraging. I thank God and Im so grateful for him, his life. I think of how he was saved at 12, started preaching at 16, pastored. a church for 50 years and then went to be with his Lord at 90 years old. What an amazing life he lived with and for God among us here even though millions of us have never met him. Dr Stanley was so loxed because he taught the true word of God and his letters and messages were not only from the "Pastor's heart" they were also from "God's heart" I 25:44 will always remember what he always said " Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.

Amazing, I had several dreams in which i got married and was weeping saying "oh no, i didnt even ask God about this marriage" such an eye opener. I was not even dating anyone at the time. So these dreams were a revelation of something to come. My heavenly Father is so attentive and merciful. He has been protecting me. I have to trust that when the time comes to marry God will let me know His will when I ask Him. And I MUST ask Him! I am not bothered about my own biological timing anymore. Resting in His will....

I was contemplating getting a lawyer and fighting back against an ungodly situation at work. I feel wronged and I kid you not, earlier tonight, I heard a still, small voice speak to me as I was contemplating how to deal with the situation and he said, "you must not fight". Dr. Stanley then talked about how we need to endure. I kid you not, that same voice spoke to me the other day and said, "you must endure". Please pray for me.

I too am enduring a job I once loved, but coworkers have driven me to hate. I don't want to go back! But I get up each day, put a smile on my face, & go. I remind myself those people are my coworkers, NOT MY FRIENDS! I limit my dealings with them. NO office partys, etc. I'm polite, friendly, but I avoid them as much as possible. I'm there to do my job, not be a friend to two-faced ingrates. I do my work, & I leave. Once I accepted this was the ONLY way to deal with them, my life got a lot easier. I expect nothing from them. I give nothing to them, save polite small talk about the weather. They aren't worth any further effort. I tried to make friends when I first took the job. They made it plain, they didn't want my friendship. So I no longer offer it. It IS a difficult work environment, bordering on a Hostile Work Environment. At my Evaluation last Spring, My supervisor said I talked too much, not enough, & had poor communications skills.... All in under 10 minute's! Talk about a mixed message! I must endure. For how much longer, only God knows. I take it day by day, shift by shift, & at times I survive 10 minute's at a time. God knows I am ready to leave not only this job, but this town, this county, & even this State! I am waiting for the Lord's timing. My timing & choices brought me here. I no longer trust myself! Today I received this message, & I know I have to endure a while longer. Again, only God knows how long! But I will wait on the Lord!

[@apostolicwatchman8824]

Thank you all for the words of encouragement. My work situation is very hard. I feel like I was discriminated against and I'm not getting the benefits of a full time employee even though I work full time. They won't recognize me as a full time employee so I can get my benefits after almost a year but they recognized another employee's status (who is a different ethnicity than me), even though we never had any meeting to discuss the change.

These are wonderful Experiences.. but not if God is saying No, or wait, or not this one, or not yet. Believe me. I tried ignoring God, arguing with God, lying to myself..

I have to make a decision. This sermon is just perfect. Do I have the faith to wait? Sometimes we have this great faith for big decisions, like marriage or changes of job. But what about decisions that may not be that important, but may have a big impact in the future. Like changing my daughter from school. This is exactly what is going on with me. I declare with Faith that I trust God enough to love me so much to be involved in aspects of my life. I trust that God wants me to ask Him, I trust that God wants to give me direction. I trust that God wants to be glorified in my life on the big events as well as the smaller events, because He loves me and He wants me to have a relationship with Him. This is me preaching to myself.

Well I ignored what God asked me, it was God's warning and I went ahead that day and got married and have regretted it from day forth, truth be told here.

In my perfect timing I will make all things right. All you need to do is trust and have faith" Well its 2021 and nothing has changed. In the meantime I have a new grandchild that I have not met. They have all family functions but not invited. We have tried to reach out but to no avail. I have prayed cried and asked God forgiveness if I did something, but God has been silent. My heart has been shattered tattered and the shame blame I feel doesn't change. Pastor Stanley message must have faith and wait! But why does it have to hurt so much 💔😢 I continue to hang on to the still small voice 😔

[@karenrojas2275]

My heart and prayers go out to you. Some times people are just determined to be stubborn. But when it hits them, and it will, they will come back. I know because I did the same thing. I'm not proud of it...but I did come back. When I called my Dad, he just asked, " Where are you?". I told him I was in Pensacola, FL about to graduate from Aviation Electronics school in the Navy and I invited him to my graduation. He called me his Prodical Child. We were both crying. I felt led to share this with you and I hope it helps! My prayers are with you to hopefully soften the pain. Take care! I look as life as a wheel. There are times when your heart is on the bottom, it will eventually come back up. Hang in there. You're not alone. God stays by your side in your pain!!! Wish you and your family all the best!

I've been unemployed for 9 years, sometimes I ask God why he hasn't bought me a job when everyone is know is leaving their jobs for a new one, yet I still haven't got one. But listening to this is encouraging, it's something I need as I have no money, but in God we have glorious riches.

[@randyperkins7407]

Stay steadfast, the number nine represents the finish of a situation you may have incounter in life that needed to end... It's a test to see if you will stay with God are flea to wrong doing. Look at your situation from the eyes of Job. When he lost everything and the devil tried to get him to curse God but he didn't. Job stayed faithful and knew God had something more. Please believe when God bless you with a career and not a just over broke(Job). You see he was getting you ready for such a time and able to deal with the level of hate that will come plus he's more likely revealing and removing ppl out your life so no one can say it was them that help. Trust my brother I stood the test of time with God's grace and mercy, when the time came. God restored me on such a level that it shocked many, let God use you and your life to expose himself to you and those around you!!! This I know because it was my experience. Blessings from above solider in Christ. The 🙏💪

[@angelathompkins5340]

I hope you're in a good place and things are going well. We don't always understand what GOD IS doing or saying, but know that GOD'S thoughts are higher than our thoughts and HIS way IS greater. His Own Words say," He'll never see the righteous forsaken nor His children begging bread." I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.🙏🏾🙂

Dear Louise, i was in a similar position and was waiting on the Lord for 5 years until i fell on the ground and started praying to my God that i will not ask for a job unless it is from Him. tht moment on things started to change for me. only when i gave up my will and placed it before the throne of His Grace, did i see how He started to change things...soon i got a lovely job. Our God knows exactly wat we're going through...dont give up. fall on your knees and look up to Him, your Heavenly Father cannot ignore your tears...remember nothing is hard for Him. I pray that your circumstances change soon🙏

[@ddude1212]

Pray for me, please. Pray that I can trust and listen to God more, because mental illness has made it hard sometimes to tell the difference between the voice of God, and the devil terrorizing me with guilt. I’ve prayed for a long time for guidance in various situations, but have had trouble discerning the voice of God through all the fog, and fear I’ve made wrong decisions because of it. I’m sure He’s speaking, but I can’t hear Him, because I heard the undeniable voice of God when I was younger in my faith a few years ago. Even right in the midst of my religious breakdown, where I was trapped by feeling like I couldn’t be happy without sinning, I knew the voice of God when I heard it. Nowadays whenever I pray for guidance, I’m always afraid I won’t hear God’s answer, and either end up missing my window of opportunity to do God’s will, or do something I’ll regret, but this sermon helped a lot, and spoke to my heart. Didn’t mean for this to turn into a vent, but hey! Maybe someone can relate!

[@CanadianDrifter777]

I can really relate to your struggle I'm experiencing this now. May God show you the way, guide you and support you through this challenge. Maybe we can pray to know how to proceed and learn our lessons. Hang in there. It's not easy but we are willing to do the right thing before God. That's something.

[@mariemajor7928]

Bro Stanley I’ve identified with most if not each of the religious people Jesus described in many teachings and warnings throughout the Bible. Teachers in every imaginable arena have continually focused on their line of profession or vocation with a view of transforming listeners to adapt or adopt methodology they revolve around! With deep sincere regret, religious people described in the parable of the Good Samaritan and like Peter fail to adopt the attitude of the cousin Jesus boasted of; John! “I must decrease, He must increase”! Daily I’m deliberately looking at my actions, activities and thoughts critically through the eyes of Christ because this is the only thing that matters at this time that affects, impacts and influences my eternal destiny!

It's past midnight. My heart is heavy. So heavy. Everything seems to be against me. Financially too many responsibilities. I desperately ask God to help me to move out of situations that I have put myself into. I can't sleep. Concentrate on tasks. I desperately need peace. Am waiting on the Lord, and it's hard. Very very hard. Seems like everyone around me is progressing and better. Am not. I ask God for help. For his hand. Please hold me, 😢. Hold me so firm that I should never make decisions based on circumstances and feelings. It's costing me pain, heartbreak and more. He's good God, I know he will help me.
