I've been praying harder then I've ever prayed in my life for the last week. I've been praying for my dad to get a job. He hasn't had a job in four months and we've depleted all our savings. We only have enough to survive for this month and that's it. I've been praying for a job and he had a job interview for today and they canceled. It was his only job offer after all these months. I was so looking forward for my dad to get that job and I prayed confidently about it, but nothing happened. That really took a plunge on my faith, but this video helped me to understand God a bit better. Tbh I've forgotten god for a long time, but now that I'm going through a bad situation then I come back. I know were supposed to be with god in the good and the bad, I'm just foolish. I will continue to pray and fight for me and my father, no matter the outcome. This hurts so so so so bad, but I will continue to pray.

[@zenobiamurden8732]

@@toorpat1410 hi do you mean what does it mean to give your life to Jesus? Well for one it is important to know the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. What is the Gospel you might ask, well the Gospel means good news and the good news is that Jesus came down from heaven, became a man in the likeness of our sinful flesh (a human) to defeat sin in the flesh by His death on the cross. Which is why the Death of Jesus isn't to be seen as defeat but victory, because it is the only way to be saved and get into heaven.

But He rescued me from the pit of despair and breathed new life into me. Why He answered my prayer to be healed? I don’t know, but I am forever thankful. Keep praying, we serve a God who listens!!

Update after a year?

[@jeffreyvonstetten5852]

Except according to this guy, the only reason that they’re not getting better is because something is wrong with the way that you’re doing it, right? If everything is possible for someone who believes, and you clearly believe then, we seriously have a problem here if the explanation is supposed to be passing it off to you like it’s your fault when you are clearly asking for a good things, being faithful, and doing it with good intentions. We need a better explanations than some of these cheap answers that are given at the beginning of this.

[@School-ls8lf]

@@jeffreyvonstetten5852I thought the same at first but he gives two answers. 1) as you mentioned, unforgiveness or some other form of crutch you are dealing with that’s unlike God. And 2) Gods sovereignty. Both answers do not feel good to hear but are answers. Prayer isn’t a request mechanism, it’s simply communication. God’s will, will always be carried out. The more you communicate (pray) the more you understand God or his actions. However, even Jesus didn’t know everything God was going do in his life. Hence him asking why did God forsake him (Matthew 27:46). But by his communication (prayers) he was able to explain it. Hope that helps as much as it is helping me right now.

Not only did I pray , I have been trying hard to find work all these months. Its appears nothing has worked . I realized that praying could work for some, but obviously not for me .

What a beautiful message!!! How many times I prayed for healing and nothing happened. I prayed for a miracle and the sick man died. I prayed for a job and it didn't come. I prayed for the restoration of my marriage and it just remained bad. Today I felt as if God had answered this inner question that, as a pastor, I don't share with others. Thank you pastor. I felt the presence of Holy Spirit strongly and I was touched here in my room, watching the message on my cell phone, from here in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). God bless your ministry and your pastor family!

My grandmother is sick and my father recently got badly injured in the head and since then I have tried my best to stop sinning and I am building a better relationship with god by praying multiple times a day. I pray that god would heal them but I feel like he doesn't listen. This video really opened up my eyes because it made me realize that I pray to God more when I need something from him.
