@@daughterofthemosthighking656 I just wrote this scripture on a piece of paper and handed it to someone yesterday and your comment brought be back to the same scripture. I hear you loud and clear, LORD!
Bravely Spoken to all. However, it still turns out that we all always want the desires of our heart towards ALL our endeavors to be the center of God’s will for us. So He’s the one who put Him desire in our hearts for us to follow. But, so many time we missed it or detour to our own. But God remains faithful in spite of.
naturally gifted Now wait a minute. How do you know what the difference is between your desires and gods desires???? You say it like it’s so easy to decipher when it’s not at all. Not even a little bit
Same, one thing that helps with doing enough is something that Fulton Sheen said, “whatever it is, do each tiny act in union with your savior who died on the cross and you will finish your life. Then you will never die to young.” By doing that, we finish the tasks assigned to us.
I really do understand your predicament and frustration as I am in the same boat.I cannot offer any sound advise but only to say, Keep expecting which I am personally doing.
If you don't know something then you should be honest and admit it instead of reaching conclusions out of arguments from ignorance and making up silly religious stories to soothe your discomfort with your ignorance.
@@margareta7439 Christian writers made up the resurrection hoax with a fake empty tomb story & fake eyewitnesses/testimonials, but they didn’t realize that sin-sacrifice-resurrection implies a superstitious God who values blood-sacrifice, which was a common practice back then - e.g. sacrificing a goat for a new home. Superstitious early folks who valued blood sacrifice created the God of the Bible in their own image.
I can understand this for some days but I'm pretty sure God wouldn't want you to be laying around doing nothing because you believe in him. I believe that yes, if you believe in him he will guide you but that does not mean be a lazy bum.
Thank you. This brought me to tears. I am a chronic procrastinator. I’ve been in university for over a decade trying to finish the same degree. I have no motivation, I keep failing and going around in circles. I make plans and they never come to fruition. I learned from this that it’s not about how much I can check off my list, but how much I trust God in the moment to do whatever He needs me to do in His time and to get me there in His ways...I already know these truths, but this message was so reassuring, and God spoke to me in a new way. Praise God for this youtube channel. It randomly popped up in my feed.
Trying to finish my degree as well and aligning my will to his, the Lord will bring us to where we should be ♥️ so be encouraged and do what you have to do and prioritize important things that we have to do♥️🙂
This makes so much sense. I had to wait 4 extra years to get my degree. Those four years I questioned God always and was bitter but now I realize the importance of it. It was only to refine me and to bring out the best in me...What the enemy intended for evil, God will turn for your good!
I'm currently 2 extra years in my degree. I've been feeling like I'm left behind and doing nothing with my life, in comparison to the people I'm being compared to. This comment really helped. Thank you.
Doubt that, “God” doesn’t do anything at all so how can you even say anything is attributed to him when you can’t even prove that he exists whatsoever.
Very true. I had a car I wanted sold for years, it wouldn't happen. One day someone at the bank stole a substantial amount of my school fee and its my graduating year.... Suddenly the car was sold with zero effort by me. That's not the first time He came through like that, its just the most recent. So, even now as there are rumors of war, I know I can trust God.
If you trust God so much you should give him all your money, God needs money and Pastor John will deliver it to God from you ( less his usual delivery fee of 99%)
God doesn’t measure me by human efficiencies or by how much I achieved or got done. God measures me according to whether I have faith in His goodness, His wisdom, His sovereignty to use my most unproductive days for His glory and His purpose. For the good of everyone involved! Even when I don’t understand God’s planning. I walk by faith and not by sight! Amen 🙏
1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, Do it All for the Glory of God! One can be so busy doing that he/she is not conscious to include God, to do as unto God, or even realize/failed to acknowledge/enjoy God's momentary Loving Presence!
Wow. This really gives me a new perception on life and even the small, normal things or frustrations in life. I can stop stressing when things don’t go my way because possibly, it is going Gods way!
Thank you Pastor John, I pray to the Lord to have the right attitude toward my time management. Please Father, let me be open to your priorities and your plan for my life - Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." If what happens to me is Always Your plan, please let me Always be open to Your will for my life Father.
I feel like I am in a very unproductive season of my life now. For nearly 4 years, after I graduated high school all I have done is be a stay at home "mom" for my foster sisters. I still live at home with my controlling mother, and she isn't ecstatic about me being on "fire" for the Lord. I cannot drive so I cannot leave the house usually. I did go to college but didn't pass my certification testing; the only reason I did that was to get out of the house. I felt useless to God because I am not ministering/writing a book/speaking/having community bible study. Even lately I have been seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit and have fell short. I have asked repeatedly and still haven't received the Spirit completely. I know that if I have a little faith this season will pass, but some days the finish line looks so blurry. I pray that I seek not only the big goals in life, but also to enjoy the little moments God gives me everyday.
Kerry, being Mum to foster sisters is a huge thing. You are carer, comforter, friend, organizer, teacher and more. Don’t underestimate what you’re doing now in the lives of those around you. Psalm 20:4 “May He grant according to your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your purpose.”
Praying for you Kerry. I too feel like I'm in a waiting season. Moved back home 2 years ago to help my Mom take care of my Dad who's beginning to get Alzheimer's and my younger sister who has schizophrenia. It's been challenging. I've been looking for work (I'm a nurse) and for whatever reason, I've been only getting rejection letters. I feel like God is wanting me to focus on helping my family for now and trusting Him to provide. You are being used by him to care for your foster sisters and you may never know the impact you are having by being there for them during the season. Hold on in faith. Keep praying. And fast when you can. Some things come only through prayer and fasting.
Luke 16:10 ""Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Keep on fostering for those sisters of yours. For the time being, that's the responsibility at hand. To show them love (for God so loved the world...). Love them in whichever way possible. The Lord would not add anything up to your life when you haven't committed to the very ones that you already have. May the Lord God Jesus show you His way through. Amen!
It's a blessing to hear this message. I'm going through a period of waiting and sometimes I feel unproductive and all my plans shattered but now I know more that God wants me to trust Him more.
This is absolutely true, Ive had the Lord do these things in my life often. I have had to repent for being frustrated about them when He showed me the reason He did it! His ways are certainly not our ways!😄 They are soooo much better!🤗🤗🤗🤗
I have never even heard of this guy, but I came across this video on day 7 of my whole family having influenza. I homeschool as well, but we got little work done, my house is a mess, and I was thinking of what a waste if a week it was. I love the idea that it wasn't such a waste if we were able to accomplish some of God's purposes. I realize now all the time cuddling with my 3 year and 7 month old was not worthless. The opportunity to teach my older kids how to care for and help each other was not worthless. The opportunity to comfort those in need of comfort... that is not worthless. I'm grateful for the Lord working in mysterious ways. I may not always understand them, but he always has a bigger picture that I can't usually see.
This podcast really ministered to me I have many days where I was meaning to do things that I needed to do, but because of my afflictions was unable to accomplish my goals, it can be very frustrating and some days I didn't do much, I feel like a failure, but I know God understands what I struggle against
I did not expect that much wisdom and knowledge to be spoken when I opened this video. Thank you Pastor John for the pleasant surprise, once again. God Bless

@@shawnfenton9718 LOL. You are obviously not smart enough to realize the fact that the Bible is the claim, not the evidence, for the God of the Bible. The Bible was made up out of arguments from ignorance by the folks who shared the same delusion.
@@shawnfenton9718 Jesus existed as person, but how difficult do you think i is for hoaxer Christian writers to make up the resurrection hoax by making up fake eyewitnesses, fake testimonials, and the fake story that apostles were willing to die after witnessing a risen Jesus? Do you have any evidence (not just books, opinions of historians / scholars, scripture references, people's strong beliefs, people's testimonials, or people having dreams) to prove the resurrection of Jesus was not a hoax?
@@AtamMardes do you have any evidence it wasn't a hoax? You're the one that came onto a Christian channel to make these claimed, give your evidence, instead of relying to almost every comment,
By all means make your list of to dos for the day. Get as good as that as you can get. Prioritize the list. First things first. Make your plan. Do the very best you can. Go ahead read a book about it. But then walk in peace and freedom that when it shatters on the rocks of reality which it will most days, remember that you are not being measured by God by how much you get done. Youre being measured by when you trust on the goodness and the wisdom and the sovereignty of God to work this new mess for his glory and the good of everyone involved even when you can't see how. Frustrating human efficiency is one of God's primary means of sanctifying grace.
With us just moving into our new house and me burning out on trying to get everything done, this message couldn't have come at a better time! Thank you, Jesus!! Amen!
This was so incredibly helpful to life circumstances for several years now. Gods will, Gods timing......Honestly brought some calmness to my heart. A new understanding with the challenges my daughter and I are facing. Praise God for godly men and the wisdom given to help people have some understanding.
Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus. This is so me.. I keep getting knocked down.. I have things stolen from me that keep me from being able to work. I keep crying out to the Lord for companionship in a spouse. Yet I'm single day in day out alone all the time. Jesus Christ tells me to look at the birds but I'll look at them when I see them singing I see them with friends.. it makes me sad. I know God is large-and-in-charge but sometimes it seems that he's just not listening or cares to hear you. I know he does I know he has a plan it's being patient in the storm and self-inflicted troubles. Please cry out to Jesus Christ for me people to Faith I pray God moved by the Holy Spirit and touches hearts out there to play for me. I pray for all of you who are single and hoping for a spouse. I pray for all of you that have reap financial troubles. I pray for you and your family in Jesus Christ name to be strong and do not have any fear the lord is near to all who call out to him
Maybe you should try and do something but rely on Jesus. When he is ready to come to you he will but he wants you to take care of yourself in the meantime. It may be a long time before he comes back.
@@brianwarshow129 Jesus Christ teaches that people need to turn to him. And trust him not their selves and not government. Jesus Christ teaches blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled. The devil explains people's desperations he tried to do that on Jesus Christ. Look up when Jesus Christ fasted 40 days. Look at with the devil offered him the things of this world Brad the treasures of this world. That's what socialism is about exploiting people's desperations
How merciful and loving is our God. His grace abounds and im so thankful for God and what He has done in our lives. We seek God and the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us throughout each day and that Gods will be done in our lives. God bless you all.
The almighty, merciful and caring Lord gave me and my gay lover the most blessed gift ever. the Lord came to us and gave his celestial blessing for our union. Thank the Lord for accepting me and my big beautiful lover, Carl. Happy together at last in bed, at peace and with the morning glow of Jesus' loving blessings upon our bodies, us both, created to be unified in his graces. Praise the Lord! Praise Jesus.
Wow, so needed this wisdom! We can get so down on ourselves for various circumstances that interrupt our plans, but we got to change our perspective and trust in God who goes beyond our simple plans. Thanks Pastor John! #repent #changeofmind #newperspective
Wow. This was me to a T! I needed to hear this! That mom is not alone. I’m a homeschooling mom who often makes my laundry lists of daily activities but take it so hard when I fail to get them all done. Thank God for this
🌻🙏👼Do what you do in the right spirit. 🌻Efficiency. 🌻God has his own priorities... succeeded. 🌻#Wow Happens all the time.. 🌻God does things differently. 🌻His purpose to sanctify .... 🌻🙏👼 God ment it for good. God positioning me...tested at every point.🌻🙏👼 Gods glory...!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm Blessed with this word of God. I'm struggling about my situations right now... I'm asking God why you selected me for this situation, now I've got the Answer. Thank you Pastor
Feeling low about not working and being at home everyday. I feel like I live the same day everyday... kids, chores, chauffeur, cook, repeat. Then this video pops up....
Similar thoughts come to my mind once in a while that God’s plan is at work and our to-do list is not the most important. BUT haha it’s so hard to remember about it in a moment when the plan is not working out! Absolutely our characters are being worked on!
And there it is that sovereignty Pastor John was talking about. my RU-vid wouldn’t load the video I actually wanted to watch so I just scrolled and came across this video and clicked and it answered the exact question that was weighing on my heart since January. God is good yall❤️🙏🏽
I appreciate the encouragement from our Pastors!! Every day I pray to God to put his wisdom and insight, understanding and knowledge into my plans for the day. I then surrender my agenda to his will. Like the book of James says if it is God's will we will go do this or that. Sufficient to the day are the evil there of. God is awesome, live by faith and not by sight.
WOW- this woman sounds JUST like myself!! I have always battled A.D.D tendency, and time management struggles. I homeschool and stay home to care for the household... my husband is not a believer, which seems to give me even less time for the Bible study I desire... I'm glad to hear this one, Brothers.
As a stay at home mom of two little boys and a medical school wife doing most household, parenting, and life on my own, this message is exactly for me. God’s timing is perfect. I’m awake after feeding my baby at 3 in the morning and have a hard time going back to sleep. I believe God wanted me to hear this message so that I could quit feeling anxious about not sleeping and know He has a plan even in this small thing and in my every day life.
