Uh no, it is suffering to us because we are human, our flesh is weak, we can get weary, we feel physical pain, we experience trauma by people we should trust, and so on. I don't know why God called it a season, but I don't believe He trivializes our feelings and experiences that affect us deeply. God is God and nothing affects Him like it affects us, yet I do believe He understands and cares.
@4:22 🤣🤣. The kid in the background 🤣🤣. I love it. Thank you for your content. You came up on my feed today, what have I been missing!! Mannn. Thank you Brother.
Thank you for answering this question in the Live. I have literally been marinating in this for years and most recent months, through my healing journey and when I have prayed over what it was that I should ask in the Live - this was still something that needed to break off of me. Suffering is in fact relative and it takes faith to look outside of our own suffering(s) and STILL give God praise, because yes, things could be much worse and there are people outside of western culture (anywhere really) enduring things that I cannot even fathom. I know the things I face aren’t singular and in the midst of them I am drawn to help others out of it. I pray that this touches the hearts and reaches the ears and minds of those whom also need to be freed from the cycles of toxic mental health and thought patterns. While yes, we will go through the valleys, we can rest assured that it’s only a season. That season for me has been life long. I’m now 30 and the cycles are being broken, IN JESUS’ NAME! 🙌🏼 I got my coat + 🫖 + 🍯 + Jesus and I’m going to keep walking out the seasons with a renewed strength and sound mind! LET’S GOOO! 🦋
I really needed to hear this. I was feeling low but when he said “buy a coat” the conviction I felt was powerful. I hope that one day, when i’m more mature in my walk with Jesus, I can go on The Basement and tell this brother how much his mentorship has been helping me. 🙏🏾
This has blessed me. I sit here uncertain and seeking the wisdom to press on in this season. Tears in my eyes and heavy hearted...hearing the word of God strengthed me. Buttoned up my coat
We need more of this real life not all that you going to get ten cars ten houses a healthy family when people here this and it doesn’t happen we walk away from God do more on suffering and Faith so many people sick death etc we need this teach you definitely one of the real ones
The Holy Spirit revealed to me that I was spoiled and had a touch of entitlement sprinkled on top during my season of "suffering." I was shocked and dismayed but that's what happens when the Lord allows our feet to be put to the fire --- all types of ugliness bubbles to the top 😕 And believe me, I confessed and repented with the quickness! 😬
I’ve discovered your channel and love how transparent you are about everything. Too many Christians are out here faking it when we’re struggling with very real issues
This is a word! 🔥 Man, I have been suffering since I was a child. The devil has been at work since the moment I took my first breath but God has been my sword & shield my entire life. I may fallen away many times over my 41 years of living and every single time God has been so good as to pull & prod me back onto the path he set for me. The devil is at the door of my mind every morning, but now… in my young age of 41… I now wake up everyday putting on my armor and the devil can stay mad.
Come on here! This is a WORD. Living a divine life in abundance does not always mean living rich. With that said, we need to use the gifts/talents given.
Amen brother! God has brought me to you I know this because I've just started listening to your preachings and you're a good man. This clip right here I've said to people before but I'm starting to feel God's word more when you preach His word. This video here I needed! I'm still a baby on my spiritual pathway God has me on and I know in order to fully receive His love, I have to change my ways. You are a great teacher indeed and I've seen maybe 5 videos in the past 3 days or so. It's almost like im becoming addicted to God's word, and day by day I feel like I'm being filled with God's love one step at a time! Pray for me because I know I need God's strength to overcome my sinful ways! I've been to church and always have believed in God and Jesus dying for my sins, but God's word is starting to hit me differently and I'm starting to understand Him better. John 3:12 KJV- If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?- Very powerful!!
I’ve lost my job and my wife told me she wants to divorce all in this month I have faith that the father will restore my marriage and I know from experience that the father has kept me working
You're awesome, and I feel you on a lot of things you say, but suffering is not absolutely relative (emphasis on absolutely). We can just think of circumstances that would cause suffering for most people while not enduring the circumstance ourselves. I do look for people who have endured horrendous things or who are facing tremendous obstacles to shout as you did, or to genuinely praise God. It is disheartening that the ones who say such things are not the ones dying of cancer, or grieving the loss of a child or parent they loved deeply. How easy it is for us to say some things when we aren't the ones enduring the devastating and heart-wrenching circumstances many others face.
This is what annoyed me so much during lockdown. Not being able to go to a church building once a week is not suffering. it is not persecution. Grow up.
