Thank you God for being so patient with me. I've sinned so much for so long, also in the days I started to believe more in God and went to church. I repent and surrender. Jesus is the door that leads to life. I have changed al lot the last couple of months. Everyday I feel more relieve and peace. Yes there will be struggling with tempation but Jesus will walk with me. I want to change even more, learn more. There is a deep desire for knowledge and wisdom. And through the power of Jesus I have recovered of severe physical pain after a long struggle that lasted 2 decades. Praise God. And God bless everyone. What a great service, thank you so much.

Lord bless you on this Christian walk , it is a walk for a reason , take your time, pray & be immersed in the bible , read Psalms 136, 138 & be strengthened . * Zephaniah 3:17 says, "The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing".

Great work! Keep those days coming! And just speaking from experience, please keep your eyes focused on God do not let people affect your thoughts and direction or they will fail you every time. Keep your eyes focused on God. You will find people everywhere, even in the church who will let you down if you put your eyes on what they say instead of God and I am a Christ follower who attends church so my biggest saying that if I could go back and change anything was for me to not let people sway me, but to keep my eyes on the Lord and stay on my knees praying!!! you have got this! There is a better life sober, I promise you! Big hugs❤

Praise Jesus! I struggled a lot lately with all the lies in my head. I know is not from God because it doesn’t bring peace but anxiety and fear. Thoughts such as sense of worthlessness and not being enough were sown in my heart. I had nightmare with those thoughts in my dreams. Earlier in gym, the holy spirit speaks to me. He said I am beautifully and wonderfully made. He is pleased with me, I am enough because I am his daughter and I don’t have to be more than what I am and his grace is sufficient for me. I wanted to cry and allow his presence filled me. This message shows up at the right time and this message spoke right to my soul. I can’t thank God enough for his presence in my life and I prayed that what we are put through with God will strengthen our heart posture and stature in Christ Jesus. Amen 🙏🏼❤ - All the way from Singapore 🇸🇬

@life.church 3 месяца назад

Hold onto the truth! When you hear those lies speak back, No I am worthy and valuable to Jesus and He is pleased with me! The Bible says in James 4:7 Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee. Keeping a hold of the truth the lies will flee. Lord I pray for your daughter that you would keep speaking your truth over her, in Jesus name! God Bless you! Myriam - LC Social Media Team

This message is definitely confirmation of how the devil lies to us. My church is currently studying out the book Spiritual Discovery. It is a deep reflection of how God perceives us, Satan's attacks, our emotions, etc. This message really hits home for me, like most of them do. If I want to change what I do, I must change who I am.

Wooow I really needed to hear this. The bit after the donuts. Woooow thanks. The devil plays with your thoughts, especially that Bible part of John 8:44. I have memorized that and then say Liar that he is. But the verse after that, I never really thought about it. I need to change how I think about myself. I need to start listening to how God thinks about who I am. Romans 8:4 who trusts Jesus has been made righteous. It's so hard not to believe those lies, the devil has put so many lies in my mind. But I have to start thinking differently. In the beginning I thought That this sermon was not for me. But I kept listening and praise God that I did12:41 11:46

@GraceNorcott 3 месяца назад

Thank you for this message. I’m working with a Christian eating disorder specialist who gave me “Who I Am in Christ” compiled by Neil Anderson and “My Inheritance and Identity in Christ” from Priscilla Shirer’s “The Armor of God.” I have believed the lies of the enemy for so long especially in regard to food and body image. The culture’s messages about diet, weight loss and getting healthy are loud and convincing. The church just adds scripture to the diets and the enemy just heaps on shame. It has taken me many years to realize that the voice of the Shamer was not my Heavenly Father and that I am not dishonoring God because of my weight. All the trying harder self salvation efforts led me to an eating disorder and the realization that a thin body is not the freedom Christ secured for me on the cross. Freedom is forgiveness of my sin but it is so much more. It is also believing what God says about me and acting from that heart posture. I am studying these truths from God’s word daily so that my mind will be renewed and I can find freedom in this area where I have lived in so much shame and bondage.
