I woke up yesterday and heard Holy Spirit say Think of me only today. It is helping me to quiet my mind and give me a deeper sense of peace as I go about my day.
I want to say THANK YOU!!! What I had not been doing. Is to get in the presence of God, and NOT ask him anything. No request of him. To sit at his feet. To be like Mary and not Martha. My prayer time later I can bring request. From the time I heard your wife warning. Joined the prayer the next day. Since that day without fail, I spend one hour in his presence no prayer required. Just sitting in his presence worshipping. When you start the program praying, I close my eyes and start worshiping. This is the time to just focus only on him and him alone. Today was a SWEET time in his presence. 4 different times just weeping. That the one who put the sun and moon in the sky. I get to just sit at his feet.
Me too just like you, I had no plans yesterday and listened to this 2 time to completion and then as I feel asleep. It was most wonderful so glad you had a similar experience. Abide is addictive!!!!❤
@@realmseeker814 You know now I make this a part of my daily life. For one hour now I will just spend time with God. Not asking him anything. Just thanking and praising him for who he is. Later on in the day, I can give him my prayer request and needs. Today I had a hard time, I should have given him my prayers first and then spent time in his presence. I woke up extra early and my mind kept going to my bracelet I lost yesterday, where did I lose it. Then I hope the garbage man remembers to pick up my trash today Normally when I spend this time with God, it’s so calming and peaceful. I stop getting sleeping. It totally calms me down and soothes me.
I belong in the Father's arms! No more Satan. I draw a line in the sand. You can not have my life! I belong in Your presence. Father God. Jesus I pray for an encounter by You. Father I'm sorry I haven't been what You called me to be. For my short comings. I lay it all down and surrender. Come invade every room in my house. The keys are Yours. Come Lord Jesus
And now, dear brother, accept your seat at the "grace table of royalty" with Him (Isaiah 52). It's set up for you (Psalm 23:5) with Jesus and your seat can't be stolen from you. You just accept that you are loved, chosen, called and anointed by Him. That's who you are...Justin, child of the Most High. Praying for you!!
It’s amazing how much God uses this man of God! God has spoken to me a few times through this brother. What he also mentioned about how God uses many with gifts but are still sinning has also been on my mind. People believe that just because they are being used they are good before God. They exalt themselves but do not allow the spirit to live in them. They have gotten so consumed with the gift that they have forgotten about the one that gives it. The church needs more Brothers and sisters that exalts God and that has the fear of the Lord like this brother🤍🙏🏼🔥🔥🕊 may God bless him and his loved ones
I also want to share this, I was just talking about it yesterday elsewhere. Last summer I overheard a conversation of two people discussing the proper way to prune vines. They said that those who are experienced know that the pruning has to be radical for the grapes to be really big. It's best to leave just one or two branches. The less experienced don't have the heart to do it and the vine then expends its energy on sustaining branches and leaves instead of fruit. There may be more grapes but they are much smaller and lesser quality. Just think of it in spiritual terms. Don't be afraid of radical pruning and letting go of all excess. Those courageous enough yield the best fruit.
I had an interesting experience this morning. I saw the Italian artist Angelo Branduardi in my dream and I was reminded of his song and then I realized it was playing in my head as I woke up. It's called Vanità di vanità I'll copy the English translation of a part of the lyrics here. I was listening to it all morning and it goes so well with today's teaching 😊 Everything's vanity, only vanity/ Live with joy and simplicity,/ Stay good if you can/ All the rest is vanity. Everything's vanity, only vanity/ praise the Lord with humility,/ give Him all the love,/ and you won't lack anything anymore.
Thank you so much for this passionate, glorious, incredibly informative and inspiring experience and teaching. At the end of 2023, I heard God say, “Come up here, slow down and rest in me.” I drove across the country to a friend’s with a quiet place for me to enter into greater intimacy with God, but have felt much resistance from my flesh. Thank you for your vulnerability and beautiful example which I have deeply enjoyed this evening and plan to continue both here and when I return home… just what I was praying for! What a powerful gift to have received while seeking Him… faithfulfaithfulfaithful!! Thank you as well, for your obedience and devotion… you are bearing much fruit and it’s multiplying!! 🙌🏼🍒🍓🍇🍎🍉🍍🥝🍊🍌💝
"Feelings are like farts"! - Chris Garcia -- Classic! Glory to God! I get that way a lot of times, I thank Him for being here with me EVEN if I don't feel Him! Know what happens next?? I start to sense our Father! 😇😇🥰🥰🥰Almost instantly too!
This was such an amazingly beautiful time spent with the Lord and a great teaching Pastor Chris along with some laughter's 😂💨 Love yall very much and thank you Jesus for this online family that i am apart of. In Jesus name Amen 🙌🏽🫶🏽
That part about not striving into enter His presence is EXACTLY what I needed to hear!! Thank you! I have walked through so much legalism and I'm finally breaking free! Thank You Jesus!
Was with you live this morning and am back for a second round!! Thank you for explaining “waiting” and explaining that you too sometimes struggle with morning prayer and that it’s the flesh. I always blamed myself, a lacking I knew not of and couldn’t get past, the guilt would eat at me and I found myself spending the day in condemnation (even thought I know better, and will never happen again due to your sharing) what you shared was the breakthrough I must have needed as I spoke quietly in tongues for the first time ever during this mornings live as I was in group/my waiting session. Your messages were weaved so cohesively and beautifully. This morning and again this afternoon as I watch I received the knock down drag me out of complacency blessing I needed. Praise be to The Father , Praise be to The Son, My Christ King Jesus, Praise be to the Holy Spirit of All Truth for the Revolutions I received today were manifesting through your love for the Father and your obedience of His word to deliver!!! Thank you Chris, you are so appreciated,loved and respected. Today has truly changed me!!!
Another peaceful time in His presence, at His table with a big ol' Thanksgiving meal of a teaching in His Word. WOW!! Grateful!! Abiding and resting with Him. It's been a long road to surrender to this place. Thank you, Father!! Thank you, FO Family ❤
Amen so greatful to Jesus & this beautiful ministry for Jesus. Man words can't describe the power of love from a family ❤️ that truly cares about the people who join. Thank you Pastor Chris & ministry team. Thank you Lord God for giving me such a blessed family ❤❤❤❤❤ te amo Lord Jesus and Fresh oil family man I love you guys!
Bless you beautiful sister❤❤❤❤Not praying for your needs to just be met, but that there would be abundance and OVERFLOW in every area of your life. We have a generous, loving Father! HALLELUJAH
@sandyb.8294 Amen, my dear sister and life line! I think it's trusting God from a position of rest and not striving wondering if He will provide, but it's in the surrender to Him, knowing He will as I ask in faith (more surrender!) and trust His way to provide. Not just my financial needs, but roots so deep in Him I can't be shaken by anything. "Stsnd therefore " is confidence driven by His perfect love (not mine, cause we know mine isnt!) OH @Sandy B how I PRAISE God for you walking with me sure by side in prayer and worship!! Glory to God! And thank you for loving me! ❤️
I am currently swimming in the peace of God effortlessly through this stream 9 days after and I am so happy I finally understood by the spirit how to be at peace and be still. Thank you for yielding Chris
Praise the Lord !!!!! This is my first time to join and I’ve been watching ever since. So refreshing. Pastor Chris thank you for your obedient heart. I am blessed immensely and couldn’t stop listening and receiving Fresh Manna from Heaven. Soaking in His Holy Presence. Hallelujah!!!!!!
“You can recite psalm 91 all day till you turn blue but until you DO the first verse it won’t work” yes makes perfect sense ! Thank you for explaining it to us the baby christians. :) god is good :)
I just recently found your channel, that's why i'm commenting on an older video, Trying to get caught up . I just wanted to say thank you for this video. Such an outstanding teaching, it has really ministered to me! THANK YOU !
This came at such a time as I lay with a fast beating heart sorta gripped in fear my sons are on drugs ! I So needed this Rt now ! Please pray 🙏 for kev Will Owen 🛟
Great and awesome teaching of the WORD. Revelation and understanding Glory HalleluYah 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽. I give all glory and honor and praise to the Most High Yahuah for this teaching. Thank you for abiding in His WORD and sharing His truth. HalleluYah blessings.
Daily I fall on my knees with your guidance. What a season of light, renew, replenish and luxuriate in the light of Our Lord and Savior at the urging of The Holy Spirit. We’re called to be set apart and glorify Amen 🙏 you always keep it real and such joy in Yeshua. I live in Arkansas and my church has been on revival since last October. Thank your wife for her prophecy, God loves her heart and y’all are evenly yoked
Where do I start with how GOOD this was. For me it was your best teaching ever. For anyone reading this…it will change your life. Love you pastor! What a blessing. Thank you Jesus. 🕊️🔥
The spirit is willing, and the flesh is weak. That was me this morning as well. But I pushed through just getting my flesh out of the way. HE starts with us when we are done with ourselves and surrender to HIM. HE IS SO GOOD.
Today's stream was much needed. In a time where we are all inundated with crazy teachings and trying to get spiritually filled, this teaching totally sets us all back to the secret place. Like you have said in the past, do you want to know the mysteries of God? Get in the secret place. That is truly where it all begins. A simple yet impactful message. Thank you, Pastor Chris. Today was much needed for myself and others. Question for you regarding the conference: if I have already registered when the event was to take place in your church, do I have to re-register for the event now that it is in a larger facility?
🙏🏼Chris, I have known the Lord Jesus since I was 16. I have been in a relationship with Him for decades. Your teaching on abiding is very powerful. But I still struggle with what that looks like exactly. Could you do more teaching on abiding. Please give practical examples of what that looks like. We are living in unprecedented times. Many are weary and exhausted. Our friends and family are dying like never before💔. Our families relationships are broken and battered. I think I speak for many when I say we are tired🥲I know I feel a shift and it is not in a good way. May God Be Merciful and Lead Us In His Ways♥️🙏🏼♥️
❤️🔥😭 I love the worship en Español!! Spanish as a second language for me, but it makes me ponder deeper the meaning of the words as I’m singing them, plus the language itself is beautiful! I spent a year in the country of Panamá and the whole experience revived my walk with the Lord. This Worship here with you is so beautiful. Praise the Lord!🙌🏻
Never heard God's word explained this way - thank you and bless you for the revelation contained in your message - will chew on this for a while for sure!! Love you and so grateful.
I read my Bible while this was on and I read the same verse from the beginning of the video. John 15:14. Thanks for your videos. They really are a blessing
No Gifts and calling are without repentance Romans 11:29. Some gifts your born with and but spiritual gifts comes after your filled with the Spirit and the Bible names them such as teaching, tongs for the church only, prophesy and helps. Many are called but few ill be chosen. God can use a person and they still can be lost and this is why Paul said after I have preached to other's I don 't want to be a cast away.
God Bless you! God led me to your channel and now I understand why! Elected to have been present . Thanks so much for letting the Holy Spirit guide you … thank you Jesus!!
Good morning. It's good to be with you to hear your teaching and the music and scriptures. God bless you and your wife. Have a wonderful day. I'm in California.
Thankyou brother in Christ for this stream. It taught me so much and i will be watching this regularly to keep practising true stillness in His glorious presence. All glory to the Lord!! Also to my unexpected surprise but delight, i received the baptism of The Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. Thankyou for commenting to just receive. The Lord did not give up on me and helped me yield and receive even after you had moved well onto reading scripture. I have to rewatch, i missed it, i was busy speaking in tongues 😂 Praises to the Lord God Almighty, thankyou thankyou thankyou!!! Thankyou Chris for your live streams and teachings helping so many learn how to draw near to the Lord ❤
I would like to say this stream really blessed me tremendously. I have always felt that i really didn't know God or connect with God on a real level. After watching the stream i just sat in His Presence and felt so much peace♥ I truly Love Jesus and want to get to know Him♥
Thank you so much for this teaching.. there's a deeper wisdom in knowledge and understanding that I can regain my prayer life, devotional life,spend time in His presence,the Word and bear much fruit as I am abide in Him!🙂..Shalom pastor @ChrisGarcia. Thank you Lord Jesus! for your wonderful Word .
Ever Wonder Why Sin Feels So Good? 🧐 Your Flesh Doesn't Care About Eternity Because It's Not Going With You. Jesus is our only way ! Repent while the doors are still open
Preach it Pastor Chris!! This is such a great teaching! This needed to be taught. Psalm 91 is not a protection amulet or spell! The word of God says that “He who dwells..” Hallelujah!
Thank you Man of God I ❤️ you and I Love Jesus He is Every thing to me yes I can to nothing without him yes Praise His Holy Name 🙏 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤Holy are you Lord God Almighty

As I looked and weeped in aww of His love...my spirit began to flow down , back into my body....I am undon!!!undone!!!! Fully great full, and thankfully for His presence and His love....
