This is actually amazing. A few days ago I was really contemplating life. I was really sad and just lost and felt like I had no purpose. I was outside walking and looked up at the sky and I just pleaded to god, do I have a purpose? What is my purpose? Why am I so sad? I got home, and the video was in my recommended bar. So naturally, I click it and I'm there listening to the whole thing, interested. The thing that really stuck out to me the most was when he said that when friends or family, or someone calls you and tell you they miss you, or they're thinking about you (or something like that). That is God talking through those people, telling you he's there. I opened up my mind to that. I fell asleep.... The next morning I get a text from an old colleague of mine that had REALLY helped me in the past... someone who I hadn't talked to in years. She texts me asking me how it is..... And that she was thinking about me. This is right after, the next morning, I watched this video. That was an amazing moment. Thank you god, I will live my purpose, the reason why you've put me on this earth. Also, thank you to anyone who read through this entire paragraph. Thanks for listening :)
supercoolio120 That’s beautiful!!! Non believes would say it was just a coincidence, but when you know it’s God, you can feel it! I’m happy for you! I hope you continue seeing God in your life as He directs you to your purpose! God bless you!
I know too many retired people who are dead. They watch TV all day, they gripe at one another, they repeat the same old stories and seem to not send or receive much from the world any longer. Witnessing that, I'll never retire.
Dear Father God in Heaven, I come to YOU in the Name of Jesus Christ. I ask YOU to please do me a favor and take all the praise and credit for it. I ask YOU to please heal John Maxwell's eyes completely and totally in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
John Maxwell is one of my favorite preacher, especially now that I'm on medical leave. I recently suffered a brain aneurism that put me in a coma for 4 weeks. When I regained consciousness, I was told that I said about my wife of 17 years, "I'm not sure who she is, but I think I like her a lot." (And I don't remember saying this!) Search "Charles Frank Kurtz" on RU-vid to hear my story. Then spread word that miracles STILL happen! For me to be able to say that might not sound like much, but to my wife and 2 kids it's pretty miraculous that I'm still alive to say that!!!
I truly feel the Lord led me here this morning. I myself have pondered lately my purpose. I've believed in Jesus Christ since I was taught who HE is. Thank you *John* *Maxwell* for teaching the Lord's word so sweetly. I've been *reached* today.
Yes My Friend. The greatness of his word Jesus is more important than our purpose. Its better to fulfill the God Purpose because we will find our self with eternal life. Kind Regards, Rojadeta, From Tanzania East Africa.
Your unfortunate experience can also be a discovery of a fortunate purpose. Our pain can birth great gain. I discovered my purpose from my passion and gifting, i realized too i was energized during those times. I have resolved now to make a difference, with those who will same at a time that makes a difference. If a 92yr old can why cant i. God bless you Nigel for posting this.

I understand what you're talking about regarding those unfortunate experiences.... I got HIV a few years ago and I first thought that my life was over, then I got the help from God to overcome depression and started a new life, then I met my partner for life, which is my wife who had also gottenHIV and so we decided we would start off our journey togethe to live the rest of our lives helping youngsters on how to make good decisions in their lives... now we don't believed our God caused our disease, but it was a natural consequence of our actions, yet He took those awful and unspeakably disastrous circumstances and turned into something remarkably beautiful!!
I did that series in the 80's and learned so much from it. Need to to it again. :) Love John Maxwell. :)))) and his message. We all have purpose. If you haven't found it yet, keep listening, be still. Sometimes it comes in a profound whisper.
He verified in another way what the Lord has been saying to me this past week: "You need to erase yourself (past, ethnicity, locations, life experiences....) in order for me to reveal your Purpose." Goes along with "He who protects / saves his life on earth will lose it forever." John helped me understand why I personally don't have a dream (for myself); it goes along with the gift the Holy Spirit gave to me: Encouragement. I don't have a dream because my Purpose is to encourage others in THEIR dream. And being behind the scenes is 200% okay with me!!!
Thank God that he created all us for a purpose with a purpose. God created us individualy with a special purpose and ability that no one else has but you. God does not duplicate individuals he makes each one unique. May God bless each and everyone you and continue to shine his light upon John Maxwell
He's lovely! He says what's so simple and yes, so basic, if only we would seek Him more, we would find ourselves walking next to folks like John Maxwell who never seem to be too big to allow God to make him small enough to walk with A VERY BIG GOD!!!
Being a crazy fan and follower of John C. Maxwell, I recommend every human individual should listen to him at least once in his or her life time to get a life time transformation like the touch of the LORD.
2020 and as amazing as then.. I am getting pumped with this speech! Thank you Sir John Maxwell. My biggest wish would be to meet you in person. Stay. Inspired
Wow. Powerful message. A message I want to share with others both through this video and personally. My God . . . He's thinking about me and has a plan for me...what a thought to go forth with each day.
So good, my husband still works full time at 80. He says all the same things about retiring that John says, about 37 minutes in talk. Thank you for posting!!!
This video has the message for everyone who desires to find meaning in life. Many people have not found the 'why' in their lives. Their focus has always been the 'what'. little wonder many are stressed in life.
John Maxwell never disappoints. He always gets his message across in an understandable way. I was blessed from the beginning to the end. Thanks for sharing. RTD
This morning when I woke up not knowing how my day would go, God thought of me, He had plans for me. I believe that was the case for all of you that watched this video. God bless you all. May God bless John.
All i can say, just spending time and watching this video, over and over again - i am more than inspired - indeed God has thoughts about us - we are special and are form an integral part of God's plan! Nigel, thank you for posting this one!
This Was Very Inspiring. I understand Now! My Pastor Ivan Pitts This Morning Mention Your Name. John Maxwell During his Amazing Message.. I am so Glad he did Because I found what I have Been Seeking. It's Been right in front of my Face..❤
I write this for those who are viewing this video, who may be passionate in something that people say they are not good at. "you can be passionate about something you'r not very good in it" Even the most talented, most passionate and most gifted person needs nurturing. Not everyone is born in a family with equal opportunity like others. There are people who have to give up their own education, the opportunity to be trained in what they are truly passionate about for the sake of the well-being and education of their other siblings. Without proper guidance it's not easy to be successful in the things that you are passionate about. There are some people who are born with parents who can provide for them properly financially emotionally life guidance. If you are born in this kind of family then just be thankful, don't worry about others those who are not good at what they are passionate about. You could perform much worse if you have to wear the shoes they have to wear since young (which they do not have a choice who they are born to)
God gives us all our own personal dream. Thankfully God does not leave anyone out of the scriptures. The scriptures applied to all of us equally. If you dont know your God given purpose and dream, God didnt leave you out. Go to God and it will be revealed to you!! You never have to just follow someone else's dream...
Yes thank for sharing that wonderful message really touch my heart great speaker I have already ordered three books very excited waiting for them in the mail God bless you
We had an amazing training with John C Maxwell on our conference last October in Long Beach and this was all possible from our CEO Jeff Olson. Thanks for that.
I understand what he is saying about being passionate about something I cannot do; those things I admire seeing in others and I celebrate whatever it is that they do and never try to do it myself!
The mind wants to learn and the enemy of the mind which is God’s greatest creation wants you to believe you are not a part of God’s plan. The devil is a liar even when I’m doing nothing he’s doing something!! 🙏🏽🦋🙌🏾
I am a man of infinite gifts. I have the capacity to change the world and take humanity to a whole different level because humanity needs help. Because I am limited of life, I apologize for not developing all of them but rest assure all that I will live as long as I can and even to an in inhuman life to make my calling a reality. When I die, all humanity will mourn my passing but I will die happy.
Excellent summary, must see for anyone interested in developing one's vision and purpose ... loistava yhteenveto, kannattaa katsoa ja kehittää omaa näkemystä
I am feeling just like supercoolio 120 and I will find my purpose with the help of God. I hope you have found your way and purpose in life dear friend...
"Don't understand everything, but here's what I know: God loves me!" I like that! But why should I seek forgiveness of sin? I didn't choose to be a sinner. I didn't choose my genes/environment.
I am like that a person that finds the solution fast and like to help but I can't go along with their reasons/weaknesses , I will search for my spiritual gift and be with a purpose in life...
