Do This to Get Closer to God 

What is one way you could pursue intimacy with God this week?

I ask God to heal my body

I don't really feel at home in any of my local churches and have alot of "religious trama" so I'm forever grateful that I found your sermons a couple of weeks ago..Even though I grew up in a loving chistian family..Your sermons has helped my reignite my faith ❤ I finished reading the whole Bible the first time this January..I'll be rereading it for the rest of my life..Thank you God and thanks to this church ❤

I would ask God to get rid of all bad mental health

Thank you God for sending your Son Jesus .To dying at the cross for me.I pray for my children to know you..Thank you Jesus in your precious name.Amen

I choose to surrender my life to Jesus today!

Ever since childhood I could never feel connected to God. I still find it extremely difficult at times. Many a times I didn't feel like going to any church. Please pray for me as I am going through a difficult time in my life. And help me find faith again.

I would ask God to heal my depression and anxiety

The only one thing I asked really of God is to let me and my loved ones into heaven.

To save. My family so they go to heaven.

I remember back in 2019 when i was stuck in addiction. One faithful day i was just scrolling through my youtube feed and i saw life church. My life has not been the same ever since i started tuning in and listening to a sermon on the channel. God bless Pastor Craig, his ministry and the church Life church. God thank you.

I'm going to chace after Jesus Please Lord help me to become more like you

Thank you for the word! Amen

I'm grateful to God for making me come across this channel yesterday night🙏

I would ask God to restore my relationship with my daughters.

I would ask God to deliver my brother from his drug addiction

I am a people pleaser. Lord help me..🙏🏽

I want to think ahead

I’d ask what my purpose is 🥺🙏🏾

Jesus I’m surrendering my life to You

In my prayers, l always thank the lord for the gift of wisdom that he has entrusted to Pr. Craig through His word.

Please pray for me

Mercy !

What a struggle...obeying God is the hardest thing I have ever wanted to do..Jesus I desperately need you✌️♥️🙏

I need his presence when I wasn’t even aware I wasn’t walking fully in his presence

Every time this man gets it.I love pastor Craig.Thank you so much for what you do!

You know what I’d ask Him for? To send Jesus to take us home. Then all my wishes would come true in just ONE wish. Me and those I love would be healed, no more pain, worries or sadness. No more human trafficking, no more sin.

I hope God gives me peace

Everytime I watch this church's sermons , I'm convicted, I cry , and I have a change of heart❤

I need jesus more than anything I’m in Guam servicing in the USN and I miss home but I know the lord has a plan for future 💙🙏🏼

I have not always made best decisions either but my walk with Abba God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit have changed that. Now I ask Holy Spirit before making any major decisions and a lot of minor decisions.

I would ask GOD to let Me die. I don't want to be here.

God gives us strength to overcome all of our struggles we must keep faith even through our hardships. Only God knows the burdens we face. I’m a single mom and it can be hard to have everything on my shoulders. Especially because both of my sons are special needs but despite the challenges I face. I keep faith in Jesus even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. As christians that’s all we can do. Praise God because he will provide a blessing is always on the way.

Lord I’m surrendering my life to you!

The greatest gift that God can give you,is to give you Himself.

Powerful word I needed this , I need you Lord , I’m Trusting in your Plan for me, I’m desperate for Gods presence. Thank you Lord for your love❤

In the 1960's and 1970's I was raised in a very, very strict Southern Baptist Church. As a child and young adult, I felt the preacher yelled and screamed at us every service. He yelled we were sinners until his face was red a big vein would pop out of his forehead. He was so angry at us. He made us feel God's rath was coming upon us. He would tell us our duty in life was to serve God and others and never have a selfish thought for ourselves. We went to church twice on Sundays, Wednesday night prayer meetings, Thursday night visitations. We knocked on doors and handed out church newsletters inviting people to our church. Misery loves company huh? I've never got over that "religious trauma"? So, when I left home, I didn't go back. I'm a good person. Everything I am and everything I have is because of God and his love and influence in my life. I didn't leave God; I left the church. I believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit has influenced my life and I am saved, I am baptized, and I love God with all my heart, and he knows my heart. I feel his presence in life although like most I would like a closer relationship with him. I recently found your channel and I love your message and the way you present it. Maybe in your opinion this isn't a substitute for actually going to a church, but it's a good church for me for now anyway. Thank You for your messages as they lift my spirit and help heal my soul.

I pray to Jesus Christ are LORD and Savior to help me bring back brothers and sisters back home to the kingdom because I was deceived not by just the enemy but my self this flesh and I don’t wanna see my brothers and sisters perish I don’t wanna see ABBA grieve his children going down to the land of the dead I wanna help ✨🙏🐑🕊️😇💕🔥

Create in me a clean heart oh God psalm 51 verse 10

I'm always desperate for God's presence. I thank the Lord for the Holy Spirit who counsels me! I am thankful for His Word! I make The Lord a priority and I choose to make it a priority over and over again.

I have aPentecostal background I love the church I am going to now the people in it is so genuine more so than I have ever seen they have a love for the kids in the church building them up. I wish my kids had so I stay but the sermons on Sunday are so hard to follow they pretty much just read the word. They’ll explain some of the scriptures but I miss the passion of a sermon. I miss the excitement that the pastors had like they were literally talking to me. I just never felt like I got enough so lately because I do need the body of Christ, I’ve been sitting to where I can have a earbud in and I don’t listen to another Pastor that has that excitement. The last sermon Pastor actually was going along with the sermon that I had in my ear so had a lot of notes and I was able to go home and meditate on them. I grew up in church, even though my dad was the pastor and very abusive thinking I would never be good enough I was gonna make it to heaven anyway God was a mean God and I’m so grateful my father in heaven didn’t leave me there and was able to learn the love of God through the next pastor. I definitely need. I am desperate for him because my heart is broken. Three of my six kids do not believe there’s a God and if he is real, he’s mean4 of 6 are following along with the world about this transgender crap and it is breaking my heart it’s making me physically ill, so yeah I’m pretty desperate for God. My oldest daughter is going through a divorce it’s ugly, but most of them are my five year-old granddaughters in the middle, but they do believe in God and they pray, my granddaughter will call me and ask me to pray for her. At least they know this is a great series for me because I have been struggling.

Pastor Craig, thank you for your love for Christ and His church. Thank you for delivering the Word with much tenderness and love. Always proclaiming annointed messages! Thank you. May the Lord bless you, your family, and your ministry all the more. You are able to preach to viewers from the other side of the world! I'm listening from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Salamat po!

Please Pray for me brother I’m in a battle right now with demons 🙏 ❤️

Craig since you have giving inspiration. I pray so hard that sometimes I cry because I would like my family to be closer together and my grandson to give him his eyesight he’s blind I would give anything for him to see your sermon. Today was so beautiful and emotional to me. it hits me in my heart I believe in Jesus God, the Holy Spirit so much and I want him to love me and embrace me. Amen.🙏🙏

I haven't been in church for a few years, lm so grateful for Life church and Pastor Craig's sermons l have a close relationship with the Savior l sense His presence it's so special to me ❤

Pray without ceasing 1 Thessalonians 5 verse 17. Spending more time praying and meditating on the word of God Amen 🙏 powerful message Praise God 🙏

The Psalms Are Davids Love Letter to God

GOD will give you and your family what HE knows you need from HIM in this season and every other season @Pastor Craig.

Wow, wow, and double WOW! Pastor Craig has really hit home with me here in this sermon! He covered SO many aspects of life! I've been listening to Pastor Craig for years, and all of his sermons bless me, but this one is quite powerful and exceptional! Thank you, Pastor, for your love of God, your passion for His Word, your dedication to the church, and for your willingness to keep on preaching and pastoring, despite your challenges. I will be praying for you and your family regularly. Really. God bless you!

This sermon reminded me of my favorite song we used to sing at my church growing up. "I need you. You need me. We're all a part of God's body. Stand with me, agree with me we're all a part of God's body. It is his will that every need be supplied. You are important to me. I need you to survive. I pray for you. You pray for me. I love you. I need you to survive. I won't harm you with words from my mouth. I love you. I need you to survive. It is his will that every need be supplied. You are important to me. I need you to survive." ❤

I would ask if God could take me to heaven with Him

Ask God to forgive me for my sins which I know he does but that is the first thing that came to my mind.

God create for me a new heart and mind❤❤❤❤❤amen God bless you pastor

I need God to touch my child Vallery's heart and mind, and we are desperate for HIS love in our house

I WANT TO THINK AHEAD!

I'm desperate for Jesus presence in my life 🙏💚

Wisdom

Every morning when i wake up i hear every sermons n it’s helping me alot 😢 i want to be more close to God

I would ask God to end evil. That would eliminate ALL things others asked I feel

Pray for me during my walk with God my name is Zaria❤😢

If I could ask for anything it would be to never have existed. All problems and issues could be solved with that one wish.

Amen. I am so much encouraged through this sermon.

Pastor Craig. I am delighted to have been laid to your church videos. I have not been a member for a church for many years more because of fear and anxiety that has been with me my whole life. I Love God with all my heart and have a daily relationship with Him. I pray for the church’s of today because many have lost their way. Please pray for me and my family. Blessed be all your days. 🕊️🙏🏽🙌🏾🙏🏽🕊️

Wow this new series is wonderful❤

My wife took two of my daughters to church this morning while I stayed home sick with our youngest. Really missing the church this morning. Great service and praise GOD!

Thanks be to God.

And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments exodus 20/6

Awesome Pastor C. Pace yourself sir..

Tack all my pain away

Pastor Craig, I was BLESSED by GOD when HE just put you there in front of me! One day I turned on U-Tube and what do you think i saw, I saw a page to turn to Life Church, Pastored by Pastor Craig! The message was How to Overcome Temptation? And that was the beginning of my journey in life listening to the messages from Living Church! LORD, I GIVE YOU PRAISE! THANK YOU LORD! 😀👍🎯✝️🙏✝️🎉👊😀‼️

To always be there for my family and myself cause we need him

I would just ask God to heal my body so I don't feel in pain and issues all time

I want to think ahead!

My brain is my own worst enemy. I have listened to Winning The War In Your Mind. Next I am going to sit down and read it and complete the assignments. So here is my question (as someone who has been chasing a relationship with God for more than 25 years)....how/why would you be desperate for God's presence if he is always with us/never leaves us/etc.? I am not being snarky. I am someone who has asked God to make his presence known 1000x more in the past year than I have in the past 20 years. And yet.... nothing

My churches have fallen so bad. My church that I had gone to ever since I was 4 and was confirmed at is gone. Life Church is all I have for church right now.

Today is the first day I couldn’t go to church due to health issues, but that doesn’t stop meme from from listening online! I hope I can find church friends soon ☺️

I would ask to remove the enemy from my life

Nếu tôi có 1 điều ước cầu nguyện , xin chúa giúp đỡ người nghèo no ấm và không có chiến tranh

I need God presence

I choose today to surrender to jesus

Pastor Craig always has great messages. This one was especially meaningful. I always try to focus on my Bible study but I really want to increase my prayer life with God. I need to pray more often than I do to have that personal connection. I pray multiple times a day, but I feel like longer talks with him will help fill the oil in my lamp 🙏🏻 ❤

Thank you for still continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. God is definitely at work behind the scenes and I am longing to see it in the flesh. 

Our lives should be spent in the Church

I need you, God. I want to be close to you.

Thank yo so much

Amen 🙌🙏

I really needed this today thank you so much

This is very good and true message

amen that 🙏

God just need you

God Bless you Craig. Watching from Calgary ALBERTA Canada
