I am the first True Christian man in my family. No one taught me how to fallow God. I fell to me knees and gave it all to God. Now i fight for the Truth of God everyday. Christ is King. Its time to fight for our God forever.

[@ralphhomer8529]

Finally! Someone is addressing this important issue. God bless you Pastor Craig, your message is so anointed. You are helping a lot of Christians who are confused about this topic who freeze when attacked. I totally believe in this message.

[@joshlockerbie5638]

My battle right now, is reconciling my marriage. Righting my wrongs and holding my post as a father and husband. My family needs me to stand my ground. Some days struggling with the faith to keep fighting. Pray for my family and myself. Thank you for the strong message today! Amen!

[@life.church]

Hi Josh! Thank you so much for sharing that part of your story and struggle with us! It's so great to see how much you want to honor your wife and family! The Lord is with you!

[@life.church]

Our Heavenly Father, we come to you in prayer with Mathew Rickey. You know how he is struggling with issues with his marriage. We pray that you help to lead both Mathew and his wife to what your will is for this difficult situation. If it is reconciliation that your will is, help both of them with the strength needed to get in a spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation. Either way, we pray that both can find forgiveness in this situation. We know that, through you, all things are possible. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen!

[@kevinoloba6824]

I'm sorry that happened to you. Your heart must be in so much pain.I pray that God put his peace and love on you and I pray that someday God will put a smile on your face in Jesus Christ name Amen.

I feel your pain brother. I had a beautiful family. It was destroyed by her infidelity. God gave me something to protect. I'm putting on my Godly Armour and going into battle. God bless you. I pray for you.

[@kkkm4431]

Matthew, i feel with you brother. Please try to forgive her. And him. I have been that other man before i got saved. And now im so thankful that her husband forgave her. I hope maybe the same can happen in your situation, but if not you are not alone and you are so loved.

[@tristanengland3874]

I just feel lost because it says "Do not resist an evil person." It feels like we are not allowed to stand up for ourselves and because of letting someone hurt us. It feels as though I am giving up someone the right to hurt me. If anyone can help me clarify this that would be great.

[@jonathanstevenson9223]

My whole life I have been fighting for a purpose , not knowing Christ was what I was looking for. Prior to living in Christ, I have been a go getter, a goal achiever as far as finances. I have taken the last couple of years to have a relationship and purpose with God. I am in the middle of raising a New born Boy given by the Lord, breaking generational curses in My family and Sarah’s family. Wanting to allow the lord to provide and guide, bills adding up and a family to lead, do I go back to working do the same job or field prior to knowing Christ and watching the Father come down ? Being stuck in living in a world where No cash means no lights in the house or food on the table. I have said I will dig holes if that’s His Will for My life. Would He call me and reveal Himself to me just to go back doing the same work, or is there a bigger purpose I’m suppose to be waiting for? I give my Life and family to Christ, and trust that He is with Me and for Me! God bless!

[@life.church]

AMEN! Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony with us! ♥️

Jesus save me and make me new, my life is not my own and I give it to you! I was made by you, for you and I have a purpose and a mission, people to protect and a life of integrity to uphold, by your power and strength alone I can and will accomplish this and fight back for my life! I pray for my family, the men, woman, sons and daughters to come to know your perfect love, grace and divine purpose for their lives! For the church and body of Christ in every nation to be unified and strengthened, convicted and to stand up and for the name above all names, with humility.. compassion and with the warriors heart of our saviour to direct our steps and break down the walls of fear and shame, to rise up and claim our victory for the war has alreadg been won! Today is our day to conquer our battles and praise the one you gave us new life, hope and is the reason for our faith and victory! In Jesus name, Amen!
