This Video Will Show You Why God is Isolating You

- Christian TH-camrs are covering the topic of God preparing and isolating his chosen ones for a reason, so I thought I would take a different angle about why God keeps us alone and separates us fro prayer and Bible study.

For those of you have asked me to do another audio Bible recording of my reading encouraging Bible verse, please check out this video here: th-cam.com/video/TZPuhHWUSp0/w-d-xo.html
God bless you Joe... you are doing amazing work in the name of the Lord and I am quite sure He is well pleased with your beautiful online ministry that has no doubt reached tens of thousands if not millions by now. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for you brother Joe. Grace & Peace, God be with you always.
LOL! I'm literally JUST settling in my car with a cup of coffee on my lunch break. I'm in my car because I cannot fraterinize with my coworkers in our break room. So I usually go off alone and I watch a christian video or read the word or sometimes just talk to my friend....Jesus. I have just very recently, like in the past 2 weeks become comfortable with the fact that I'm usually alone. The devil really uses them to make you feel lime a freak, like your a weirdo but he's the freak, he's the weirdo! But The beauty that God has equipped me with is something so special. When people are in their midnight hour and you have words of hope for them because Jesus lives inside of you.....is so priceless. It's worth it in the end. I began to ask myself, how can I want to belong with people who cuss and love course jesting and love conversations about utterly carnal things and disgusting music that glamorize everything that I am not. I began really understanding that I am the water from God that just cannot mix with their oil. I have also made peace with the ridiculing I receive from them. How can I be offended from people who I don't even really respect. I don't respect their carnal nature so when I began seeing it that way so much peace came. Yes I'm alone but I have the Lords presence with me everywhere I go. In places where man couldnt come with me even if they wanted to. Like on the very day that I die, he will be with me. And that's more than they could ever say. He inhabits the praises of his people and he surrounds ever so closely those who are alone. Hallelujah!!!

Thank you for your time
You're doing great. God keep blessing you.
For you out there who feels alone, imagine some one like me as an ex Muslim here in iraq who is a believer of jesus christ... God is always with you remember that .
May lord jesus christ have mercy on us all
Amen brother and God bless you. Glad that you’re in the family!
How wonderful it is to hear of a brother in Christ who resides in Iraq! Your closeness to Christ must be wonderful.and your walk with Him a real blessing. I don't think we in the west really understand what it must be like for someone like you to be in Christ in a potentially hostile place.
True. Jesus once visited me and said that He will never leave us even if we think He did and He will never forsake us even if we think He did. I will never forget that visit or what He said. This message is for ALL believers.....
God bless you my brother, I pray our mighty Lord Jesus Christ continues to bless you, protect you and strengthen you and all our brothers and sisters in Iraq Amen,
Amen 🙏 thank you ! Praise Jesus!!!
'I asked God to protect me from my enemies
and immediately started losing friends'
Oh so much truth to your words. God is your best friend.
😉 oh too true! Your comment caused me to chuckle. May God Bless
I felt power in that. Thank you.
Me too…
Powerful
I'm a Christian and the Holy Spirit led me here, because I feel so alone. It's comforting to know others are experiencing the same thing. I pray for the day our Lord will return and we'll never feel alone again 🙏❤
Like 70000 of us. Blessings from Terri in Texas
@@terrisharp46What do you mean?
Amen
We are together in Spirit and with the Lord. God Bless you and everyone here. Amen
we are not alone with have the Holy Spirit
I’ve been lonely since I was 3 years old. This world is completely broken and will never be right until Jesus comes back. I can’t wait to die so that I won’t be lonely anymore. Death or the rapture is the only way I will ever have an end to this lonely nightmare called my life. I love the Lord because he is the only one that has ever truly loved me. The Bible says we are at war and rightly so. To live is Christ and to die is gain.
I am really sorry that you are in such despair. Please know that you are not alone with this feeling.
I'm separated from my wife, I'm away from my children. My brothers have gone away. I'm feeling like God has left me alone. I'm the prodigal son. Please pray for me Joe and family. Pray that God returns to my hardened heart. God bless you all
I'm going to pray for you brother.
I just went through the same thing. He wants us to tell people the gospel.
(Specifically he wants me to warn people about the times)
Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. Pursue Him with everything you have and don't stop no matter how long it takes. It will be worth it above and beyond what you could possibly imagine. 🙏
Been there myself my friend, prayed, just hear from the Lord and yes, humble yourself. Just cry out to him and be serious.
Brother, you are in my prayers also. I know that God loves each one of us and He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. We have to let go of those things that cause us to have a hardened heart. Give everything to Him and know that He will accomplish that which He only can do in your life. God bless you and keep you.
🙏
I'm a very lonely woman of 67 single, any friends I had have just left.
Feeling so isolated makes me feel exhausted and depressed.
Please pray for me.
I too feel the same way. You are not alone. Pray, I will !
Dear LORD, Please comfort this precious friend and fill her heart with YOUR precious love, joy and peace, in JESUS Name, Amen.
JESUS LOVES YOU !
@@ronstallings3156 it's comforting to know that others feel as I do.❤️
We are praying for you that our god will comfort you today put his loving arms around you. I’m feeling the same but I know god is with me god bless you ❤✝️
My Christian friend who told me when I said I have difficulty fellowshipping because I just don't fit in anywhere says that sometimes God isolates us because he wants us to draw close to Him and that gives me comfort.
Remember King David? Powerful as he was, everyone including his own children wanted his life, and in the Psalms, we see David turn not to man, but to the Lord for comfort! Abide under the comfort of the Almighty and he will minister to your needs. Elijah was depressed under the broom tree and prayed to die, and the Lord sent him water and bread, then listened to his complaints in the cave of Mount Sinai and reminded Elijah there were 7000 others who had not bowed down to Baal. I pray that the Lord will bring you the same peace he did since he is the same yesterday, today forever.
I use to have hundreds of friends.
Then was born again. February 17/ 1991 I was 29.
I lost all my friends and family.
Now I'm 62 jan 05/ 2024 and what really gets to me. My Christian ✝️ friends... since 2 accidents No fault of mine...
Has left me for dead. Im Stuck in my house all alone. Can't drive either.
My own sons don't want to be around me. They want to live the wild life.
I love God more than ANYTHING. But God still has a plan for me. I found out 62 is not old. And all the things I thought I loved.. THINGS... I don't anymore.
Joe, I do love watching 👀 your videos. God Bless you &
your family. Praying For you my dear friend. 🙏 all that matters is to want what God wants...❤
-The Lord and me
P/S I'm now writing a book ...
Wished you lived around me. We could be friends.
I'm hoping to reconnect with a friend who is is in rehab and being shunned right now. If you could say a pray for her I would appreciate it. He name is Patricia.
I hope you get better real fast and find true friends.
God bless, in Jesus's Wonderful Name!
No one has hundreds of friends. You may have had lots of acquaintances, but perhaps no friends. Scripture says that a true friend stays closer than a brother. Look at David and Jonathan. That's friendship!
Wish you wear near me I would go visit. I use to be involved in the shut in ministry and boy it was such a delight .
My heart goes out to you - it’s hard not to be able to go places when you want. I have stopped driving to protect myself and others. Have you called your friends and asked for help and they refused or just didn’t answer your calls? Have you thought how you. Can encourage others in your situation? We don’t know what it’s like til we’ve been there - now that you know, you can be a great help! Writing homebound in your church or calling them. Many women of God have had great ministries from their bed. Praying for you and your sons.
Yes, I will and am praying for you!! Hope your book gets completed in Jesus name🙏🙏🙏 I wrote a book also!
I feel so alone. Couldn't sleep last night. Thought of going outside and just staring at the stars, maybe God would meet me there.
sounds like the God I know. maybe He will
Will can be friends if you don't mind
I go out every night (when it is decent weather) and praise God for His stars and planets. Look up some of the channels that show you some of the ongoing signs in the heavens. "He Cometh With Clouds" is uplifting. Don't get caught up there is a new date for the rapture every week though. Find someone around you who needs help. Even if it is just petting puppies at the animal shelter.
@@JoyPeace-ej2uv I need help 🤲
i am 57 yrs old (Woman) and I am alone all day, I am suffering in pain tryng to just get through each day, trying to do some chores, it is getting harder and some days are good and some are really really bad. BUT I talk with Jesus more and more, watch your videos and listen to worship and sermons from my favorite pastors (you are one of them )who speak truth from the word of God and the times we are in. I thank God for my pain and alone time because it brought me closer to Jesus. I am not lonely. I cannot Preach but I can Pray for people. So to those who cannot preach or go out to be with others ...it is okay... time with the Lord Jesus is precious and prayers are powerful because God is all powerful. AMEN PRAISE JESUS! Sending love and prayers to you Joe and your family. It is okay not to be perfect, Jesus will use that too!
He always uses imperfect, my dear! Look at the apostles! Look at what He can do with imperfect! God bless you & prayers your way!!❤
😊😊😊😊😊
I am the same age and have the exact same problem. Pain isolates us even more. Friends fall away. When I became a Christian I lost even more friends and was completely alone. I didn't have a Biblical church to go to and got frustrated looking so I was alone as I live with family that are not Saved and don't want to hear about it. I finally found a great church about six months ago. Things are much better but of course I am the one of the only single person, except for these that are older than I am, I am the only one with our children. I am so happy that I found fellow Christians to be with, the church has many activities that we do and I am in a women's Bible study.
I still get sad that I wasted so much of my life before I was saved and even after when I was so turned off by the blasphemous churches in my area. Meanwhile the church I found was there the whole time, go figure. I guess this was what God planned for me the whole time. I do worry about the state of the world though, I probably have the same worries as you do; what if things get so bad that I can't get my meds, what if we are in end times (I have no idea if we are) and I am not strong enough to stand up to it all I would be alone with my family that are not being believers, you know what I mean. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I am not usually lonely either, in fact I have to spend time alone for my own sanity and health. Sorry if there are any typos, it is early in the morning and I am too lazy to put my glasses on, lol.
God bless.
@Hazelkitty57 pray my dear. Continually pray. God has made promises in His Word He will provide our needs. Trust Him! God bless you & prayers for you & that your family accepts Jesus as their Lord & Savior.
I'm 62, I've had 15 back surgeries, the latest was 11/10/23 & left me almost a cripple. I've lived with pain now for 36+ yrs, my self worth ended when my boys became grown men, I'm nolonger needed & have no friends because I go nowhere because of pain. My only prayer left is death now.
We don’t belong to the world, so being alone comes with the “territory” of belonging to Christ. I have to remind myself that’s the cross we have to bear.
even Christians reject me,must be something wrong with me
@@nopretribrapture2318 there is something wrong with all of us.. Our sinful nature!! We are all depraved.. It is why we need Jesus and be born again..
@@nopretribrapture2318 thats not right in the body of Christ it may be so but its about those that are rejecting you not you
@@nopretribrapture2318Ask God to help you. Know you're loved by God through Jesus Christ & accepted in Him!
I needed this reminder, thank you for sharing. Shalom
Well, I'm an American, so I'm enjoying a cold iced tea. I've been lonely and isolated my whole life due to some genetic abnormalities and looking different then average men. I've had a few girl friends but they all ditched me after a short bit, so I've never known the love of a woman in my 52 years. God has been my only peace I've truly found in this world. I'm thankful I'm a dwelling place for my companion The Holy Spirit. I would have checked out long ago without Him. 🙏
Awww I'm sorry. Thank God you've got our Lord the Spirit.
He quotes the bible:Be Holy for I am Holy. But the idea of Holy JamesThree is very funny.
Coffee is a very good Holy idea.
I love been isolated with the Lord......
I never fitted into this world, started when i became a teen. Ni one liked me at school I was alone even with people. So through life I was never noticed no one ever took notice.. only the Lord Jesus 🙏 ❤
I cry when I think about what the Lord Jesus does for me everyday.. love you Jesus ❤❤
You are not alone in feeling this way. The world can be so joyful, but many more times people are in despair.
Your not alone I also have lived the same existence 😔 stay strong you are blessed and 🥰
I was rejected by my biological and marital family and I haven't had friends for sometime, but two nights ago, my husband wanted to listen to the Bible while he fell asleep... I believe the children will come to faith when he does....pray for us!
Praying for you, sister! My situation exactly!
@@timeaaraouzou710 Thank you, I will do likewise for you!
Praying ❤
🙏🙏🙏
Just seeing this Marissa…🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Prayers up. My grands all gave three lives to Christ. I prayed and watched many years and watched God work. Granddaughter died the end of Dec. she loved Jesus. While losing her was hard, I know all her pain and suffering are over. She had a terrible rare disease but always suffered with a smile and always encouraged others even though she was suffering so much pain. And she loved her Gram. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I am seperated even from church. Everyone is trying to say " Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together ". But the Lord isolated me because of false doctrine and wolves. He told me everything in my prayerroom 😊 it is very hard because its only me and the Lord, but god Made me a Fighter for His Kingdom and his rightousness.
If you are in prayer everyday and you pray for direction god will guide you. Trust the Lord and not people. Amen 🙏
I’m afraid I’m right there with you,
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!! No Churchianity for me! Come out of her, sayeth the Lord.
I understand false Doctrine and wolves. You Are Not Alone.
@@Gods4Horsemen don't be afraid the Lord is with us ❤️ 💫🕊️
@@di4085 thank you ❤️ god bless you so much.
I am a backslider who use to preach that perfect word of our mighty champion. I’ve back slid now for over 5 years and I need prayer. I started lying for no reason, lusting at everything, been fired 3 times haven’t had my kids in church. All the while I know how to put on Jesus like a shiny coat, and I’m good at telling people how to be born again. But as CHRIST has said to others, I’m a white washed tomb, putting on Jesus over my filthy rags. And I’m so tired. Will someone please pray for me and my two little ones . Please
Jesus loves you unconditionally where you are and despite the condition you r in. Jesus says to you come, you who are tired and heavy laden and i will give you rest, my joke is easy and my joke is light. Just run back in the arms of your heavenly father and let Him wash away everything
@@ellenvanrenselaar8257 🙏 thank you from the bottom of my heart
Backslider, it sounds like you have a seductive snake spirit attacking your life. It offers you a false self through which you relate to others but it's not the "real you" that is deep inside. I have dealt with this snake for a long time and am finally getting to where I am living out of a more honest sense of who I really am in front of others. It means being vulnerable, not always having the quick wit or the answer, being quiet, beingn misunderstood sometimes, relying on God to give me the power to say whatever I need to say that is honest, just living more to please God than win others over. If you can get Christian counseling (big churches have for free), then get it. Prayers for you, friend.

1John 1:9 is for you...❤
My wife just told me she wants a Divorce. I came across this video. I was feeling very lonely and this has helped me pick up my Bible after a shameful time. It's lifted my spirits and made me realize that being alone with Jesus is so valuable. Glory be to God. In thankful he has used u to get through the feeling of loneliness that I've been feeling and many others that this video has touched. Keep these type of videos going. Im here for u as well brother. I love you so much.
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation.. I won't presume God's will like many false preachers would, but here's something I know from experience, that He is faithful. Many times, during my most desperate hours, I just clung to his promises in the Bible like 'draw close to the Lord and he will draw near to you', 'The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed', and I just take him at his word and test it out, and he is faithful to hold true to his words, and I find myself having peace the more I read his word, even when the situation is a hellstorm. I pray the Holy Spirit would bring you peace and clarity and show you his Will, and of course if possible, I pray that he mends your relationship
@@faeleia Thank you. That means more than words can describe. Tears filled my eyes while I read ur words. Because I know Im not alone. I know I have the Lord . But knowing there was one person that wanted to take the time to type this to me means a lot. I love you. Who ever u are. I pray the holy Spirit touches u in the way that's needed.
@allengordon3975 no worries, only because the Lord, our almighty God is our rock, the same one who led Israel out of Egypt and humilated the false gods of Egypt with 10 plagues and parted the red sea, the same one who backed Elijah and showed the 850 false prophets of Baal and Ashtoreth with a great fire that burnt up everything, the same Lord who delivered Lot out of Sodom, the same Lord who gave his promises to Abraham, the same Lord who showed to his heavenly council what a faithful servant Job was even when everything was taken from him, the same Lord who protected David when he fought his enemies, the same Lord who was with Shadrech Meshach and abenego in the furnance in Daniel, the same Lord who gave Solomon his wisdom, the same Lord who sent his son to die for us so that he may show his mercy to forgive us and adopt is into his family, the gospel as taught by the early church disciples. This great Lord God is who we serve! He is greater than Satan or our situations, so we can rejoice, knowing he will work all things for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28). Everyday, I look to the skies to see what kind of pictures that God has painted and what the skies are testifying of God's glory! (Psalm 19)
With Jesus as the cornerstone of our foundation, our roots can grow deep like the parable of the sower and the seeds and withstand trials, unlike the seeds that have shallow roots and fall away as soon as trials arises. James 1:2 says 'count all trials as opportunities for joy, for testing of your faith produces perseverance,' mike winger says not because trials are enjoyable, but this testing period is like fire to refine metals, meant to bring out the best in us. For the person who doesn't have God, a trial is meaningless suffering, but it will not be a trial in vain if we put our hope in God as the one who cuts off any branches of us that does not bear fruit, and prunes those that does so we will be more fruitful. All in all, God has all we need in him to rejoice and rest even when the world sees nothing to be joyful about. I'm happy to spend time sending encouragement because of what the Lord has done for me as I spent time in His Word, and I'm sure he will do the same for you.
Take care, dear bro in Christ
I love your messages. I was saved in 1994. I've now been sober for 30 years. I thought that I was born again. Went to college as a high school dropout and got a law degree. Practice law for 17 years. Now retired. One day, I picked up a Bible determined to read the entire Bible from page 1. As I read, I found the real spirit and was born again. Now I am so full of the spirit that although I live alone physically, I love it because God is more close while I am alone. Bless you ALL.
READ THE BIBLE. I AM PRAYING FOR THE LONELY. Keep up the Great work.

Praise the Lord for your courage to admit your previous false conversion. Few do, and this muddles the narrow truth between true and false conversion.
Bless you.
Your false conversion lead you to the right way. Now you'll continue to grow in the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless 🙏🙏❤
I have never had friends. My sister did, and she let me hang out with them, but they were rather annoyed by that. When I was older I had met a lady who wanted to be my friend. But it was all around an MLM, she just wanted me to spend all my money buying her vitamin's. I couldn't afford it. Then she totally ghosted me. Stupid me let it happen with another woman. I thought she wanted to be friends with me, she didn't I was buying make up that I didn't want. It was such a high pressure thing. When I finally was able to stand up and tell her that I love her as a friend, but I dont' want to buy anymore make up until I use up what I have, she ghosted me as well. Never heard from them again. So I don't know why life is this way. I am an elderly disabled spinster with no friends, no partner, no kids. I used to have a dog, but she passed from old age. It really is tough and lonely. I do get to speak with Jesus though, he keeps me, and talks to me.
Can’t wait to meet you in heaven friend. God bless you ❤
You are too old to be this naive
Praying for you 🙏 be blessed and comforted in the Lord ❤
🙏🙏🙏
Oh My dear sister Rhonda,
My hart grieves reading your words .
May the LORD bless you with tender Christian association
I listened all the way through, and I'm isolated. My husband rented a car and left me at FL. I was so sick of him being negative that I would look on Pincrest and dream of living in a beautiful little English cottage. My Dad died last September and left me some money so I was replacing the sink and counter top and put a black splash in. He got mad because I was hiring it done, so he rented a car and left me at our winter house. We've been married 53 years. And he called me the other day about our oldest granddaughter is getting married and He said this is really good news. 50 people come to our house and get married by the pond in our back yard. She has cancel society me and won't even let have her address because I'm a Christian. I said nope and It turned out that My husband is doing it and I'm staying here. My other 2 grandchildren also
Canceled me and their mom. I like it here and I'm going to a good church and a prayer group for our nation. So it's not that bad because I've got Jesus.. I've watched your street preaching and really enjoy it.
As Christians we are all living isolated lives, but we must know that soon we are going to have a great bunch of friends after the rapture. Let’s stay strong. Shalom shalom
Watching for the rapture and Bible prophecy has also isolated me; the church is silent.
While people may say ‘I believe in the rapture’ there is no excitement or longing. Church sermons are business as usual: dry.....
Im a believer! Im alone, literally, only have 1 brother that I dont see very often, friends are all worldly, people in my apartment building, dont like my preaching, no one interested, they run when they see me coming, yup! alone, Jesus was alone! I unite with Jesus, AMEN! Thanks Joe! Be blessed,
ps I watched to the end, keep doing what your doing, nothing you do in the name of Jesus is for waste.❤
I lost my husband of 35yrs,was tough😢,but I never stopped believing the Father has his reasons,has made me much stronger.i now can put more in the lord
So sorry for your loss. I pray that God gives you strength and peace in these times. Jesus understands our grief. We could see that Jesus wept when Lazarus died, before he rose him from the dead (John 11:17-37). He loved Lazarus. But after He wept, He did an incredible miracle. There will be a time when grieving will be no more. (Revelation 21:4). Stay strong and I will be praying for you!
My dear husband had a widow maker heart attack over a year ago. He doesn’t have much of a heart left. We have been married 35 years and I can’t imagine being without him. Thank you for sharing your life. I know the Lord will help me through whatever happens. ❤praying for you honey.

Java Joe's. Good coffee, good scripture, good friends.
I've been isolated for years. Some of us are destined to live very solitary lives.
I hear you brother or sister.
@@ellesmerewildwood4858 Brother. 👍😄
I've been alone for about 18yrs ... it's been difficult. I've begged, cried, boyer angry, frustrated, then humbled. God loves me. He is in control. I am here for His purpose not my own... Thank you for doing this video Joe. You are such a gift from God!
@@rainbowsfor2 Same with me. It is difficult getting used to this solitude. No friends, no family and being gang stalked. Lord have mercy on us all.
I couldn't believe how many Christian Brothers and Sisters I have that are exactly like myself.. I thought I was the only person that was isolated. BUT, Our Lord keeps us comforted in a way, no one else can provide. Thank you for your message and seeing how things are in the world.. I believe we will All Be Together Soon... ON THE OTHER SIDE!!! ( I always wanted to fly w/o a plane!) God Bless You
That's the story of my entire life.....always on the outside of the circle. Even within the church... I just never fit. I used to go out for walks with the Lord, had some really close communion with Him during those times and one time I was whining and complaining...."poor poor pitiful me" to the Lord about why I'm such a square peg on this round world. That was just how I phrased it as I was praying. It wasn't the first time I came to Him with that question.....but this one time I got an answer !! It was quite sudden and unexpected....as I asked that question for the umpteenth time...."why am I such a square peg trying to fit in this round world?" And I clearly heard this answer in my spirit....not audibly but very clearly I heard/felt these words....."My Kingdom is SQUARE" !!! It stopped me right in my tracks and immediately I understood....In my minds eye I saw the description given of God's kingdom when it comes down on this earth....and it's a giant CUBE !!! put a smile on my face...lol.... It's still hard being on the outside all the time....but I have the promise and sure Hope that when I go home it's not going to be like this anymore....and I'm going to experience TRUE Fellowship with my Lord and Savior and all my brothers and sisters...."Forever!!"......can't wait !! 🥰
I've never felt like I fit in either... when I think of heaven I often wonder how it will feel like "me" to be fellowshipping with everyone but I know it's how it's meant to be... guess we'll find out!! 😅😊
You are not alone. I thing the Lord has special plans for people like us. God bless.
Oh Eileen! That is some brilliant prose right there! I absolutely love this testimony! Sad and funny, witty and heart-breaking, crestfallen but victorious! Lord bless you, sister!
You and I are EXACTLY THE SAME WAY! I pray I get to know you in Heaven... may God Bless you in your Uniqueness... I will pray for you. Thank you for helping me know I'm not the only one who feels this way. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE SOON...
thanks i need this.
I'm very lonely and in a very isolated situation right now. I've no husband, no kids and a little family is all I wish for.
But I can't connect well with other people due to my shyness.
On the other hand my relationship with God strengthened immeasurably during this period of time. I will continue to
follow him no matter what and see how I can do his will in my life.
Find you some brothers and sisters in Christ. I go to a small church and find that we care for each other more. I could go to a megachurch, hide on the back row, and not get involved.
This reminds me that this WORLD is definitely not our home. I suppose it shouldn’t surprise us, then, that we don’t really feel ‘at home’ here. Thank you so much for this vid💕 Our ‘isolation’ here does not have to be fruitless. Praying for you, Joe❤️🙏❤️ Love your transparency and heart 😊
A lot of people needed to hear this.I think that there is more than one of us out here that are isolated.
My most isolated and lonely time turned out to be my most precious moments with the Lord Jesus Christ and my God. Psalms 27:10❤🎉
I discovered your channel during one of the hardest times in my life. My mom was hospitalized with covid 19, and she was on the ventilator for about a week. (God healed her and she made a full recovery). My dad is my pastor, and it was a difficult time for him as well. I needed comfort, but I also didn't want to be around anyone. However, I was able to find comfort through your videos. My husband sat beside me and we watched your videos for hours. We've been watching you ever since, and so do our children. May God bless you and your family.
I was married to an unbeliever. He called me a Bible basher more then once. (I was a Satanist when I met him.) I turned back to God whilst married and he cheated on me. Vicar said forgive him, so I did. He was texting other women, bullying my youngest son when I was at work. One day he saw me reading my Bible and pointed at it, saying, You can put THAT away. Not long after he left me for a woman half my age. That was 8 yr ago and I've had more time in Bible study then ever. My faith is stronger. I've remained single since. Christ is all I need!
You are the Lords now, and He only will do good to you and bring you good things, we'll done turning to the Lord I will pray the Lord opens the heavens for you..
I used to have loads friends, now disabled and just one friend ..is God making me turn to Him more..loneliness is alien to me and to so many..hard to understand, so grateful for this channel it’s such blessing , Sarah
I am disabled also, I replied to a couple comments here because I really understand being isolated. I count myself lucky even though I have nothing but because I have Christ, I have everything. I didn't go to church for years because I went to a horrible church when I was first saved and was turned off by the church scene. About six months ago I finally decided to look again for a church and I found the greatest small church. I can see how God had all this planned for me the whole time. Please look for a church like the one I found which is a reformed Church, I guess they are the more Biblical churches. I love my church, I hate missing it when I am having a bad day, you know what I mean. The world is getting to be darker and darker, you need genuine Christians around you and not Luke warm ones. Remember Satan wants to isolate us, this whole digital age has isolated everyone in one way or another. I am praying for you sister, Sarah. God bless and I will see you in the Kingdom.
John 15:18-19, “18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” This is one of the many encouraging words of Jesus Christ I repeat to myself when I feel alone.
Amen. I was reminded how the mob shouted to their leaders that they wanted Barabbas (the convicted murderer) rather than Jesus Christ the Messiah.
I gave my life to the Lord 40 years ago. I always had quite a few friends and never really remember feeling lonely. My husband passed away 4 years ago, and my best friend passed away 8 months after that. Since then, several people have passed away. Some have moved away. Some of my friends who were divorced or widowed have taken up new partners. Yesterday, it hit me that i really am all alone. I had gone from having a fairly large circle of friends to having almost no one at all. Then your message popped up in my feed, and it helped me see that there are many lonely people in the world. I need to start to reach out to people, to get out there and meet new people. Sitting at home like a hermit is not going to do it. I believe this is the answer to my prayer of despair yesterday. Thank you for the wonderful work you do for the Lord 🙏
I've lost friends...because I will not stay in their world. Jesus is my way. Thank God he removed those.
I have been alone for 52 years. Never had a family No friends. But I’m use to it
Same here, Never had a family either. Never learned to socialize properly. I will be 59 in June.
Same. I'm 53
Same I am 53. Look we are not alone - we already have our little 'club'!!
What do you all do for work?
@@stpierreorama I drive Mennonites - live in Canada
I HAVE BEEN ISOLATED FOR A VERY LONG TIME BUT IT GOT WORSE WITH THE LOCKDOWN NOW STILL ISOLATED I LOVE BEING WITH MY GOD JESUS AND HIS WORD = I AM NOT ALONE I HAVE HIM - HIS WORDS JUMP OFF THE PAGES I HAVE HAD A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF HIS WORD AND HAVE COME CLOSER TO HIM PRAISE THE LORD AMEN
EYESIGHT NOT GOOD SORRY IF I HURT YOUR EARS
i like the shouting
Didn't even notice the caps!
Will pray for you Elizabeth, that your loneliness is dispelled, if that is what you desire💜
I CAN RELATE. Caps on purpose, my human IRK got poked by a comment I DISAGREE WITH❤ "sorry GOD" I've come to see my isolation as the opportunity I soooo yearned for and Really needed to get to know My LORD. IF I don't Know HIM How can I introduce HIM to anyone else. All I can say is Praise You GOD aren't we something to question what YOUR Intentions are for us individually and I Thank You for not having to question my isolaton❤❤❤
I feel isolated at times also. I am 90 years old. My daughter, my only child lives with me and works at the local High School as a Special Education teacher. We attend a non denominational Church where I feel I have finally found my Church home and family. There is excellent teaching and fellowship. Because I do not drive anymore and am a Widow, I do feel isolated at times. My husband and I shared the Word of God so often and studied the Word together and so I do miss that a great deal. My daughter and I share it also, but not as frequently. However God has called me to the Ministry of prayer. He has blest me so much in this isolation as it is a walk depending on Him. 🙏🙏🙏
Joe, I love these "coffee chats" and find them very helpful and encouraging. Please keep going.
I really love the service to Jesus. You are so ordinary and needed. Do not change, do not become something that you are not. You are what God has intended. Keep moving on, God bless you your wife and your whole family.
I have to remind myself not to be like Lots wife and look back.. you can't move forward by looking backward. God bless you and your family !
Yes I have been in isolation..I have chronic Love Pacific leukemia. Which is cancer in the blood.. thanks to you I've been praying day and night and I still go around and do try to do my own stuff cuz I have no one to help me but I know I'm not alone because Jesus would never leave me he would abandon me and I thank you for your words of kindness and for sharing your stories with us God bless you and the name of Jesus Christ Amen
Sorry is chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Praying for you Joe, and for all here who are feeling isolated and lonely. I've been in that camp for 30 years, with chronic illness , so I understand. Lord please send Joe someone in his life that will encourage and lift him up, a "Jesus with skin on" as I like to call them. And I pray the same for all here who are needing the same. Sending Mama Bear hugs and love in Holy Spirit to my brothers and sisters in the Lord. We are the body of Christ, and one of us is an ear, one an immunity fighting cell, one a kidney, one a lung, but we all are important and necessary, and the body won't function well without us. I wish we could all meet in person, and encourage and pray for one another in person. But this will work. Let's stay in touch, and let us know when you are in need of extra prayer, when you are struggling. We are to bear one another's burdens, share each other's joys. ❤
I lost 2 children in 2022 within 60 days of each other. Talk about life changing, drawing 1 closer to our Creator is inevitable!
So sorry! I cannot imagine.
Praying for you ❤
May the Lord give you His Supernatural Comfort and Peace!
So sorry for your loss , I can’t imagine your pain, my daughter got a terrible diagnosis last year of progressive MS and she has shut everyone out accept her son and husband and she doesn’t like me to talk to her about God at all to her 😢 so all I can do is pray for her 🙏 and prayers for you too , May the Lord be with you always ❤
May God be with your spirit during this time of your loss.
I'm having my coffee with you Joe. I always enjoy it. You've really hit home with today's talk. I'm alone. I have four children and five grandchildren, two brothers and one sister. Many nephews and nieces, yet I am alone. I do believe that it has everything to do with my choice of following the Lord. I believe that as I've tried to share salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that they've stepped back. My daughter won't allow me to even send a Bible to her children. I'll say it hurts. It's a sting I never thought could happen to me but as the years go by my friends are all gone and I've been left to myself. I'm retired and disabled and in poverty. I require surgery for my spine but have no one to help me through the healing process. No one will commit so I can't have the surgery done. Ultimately though I have the Lord and I know he'll never abandon me. That's the comfort I have. We all need to remember that we are sojourners. We're on sort of a camping trip and this is not our home. Our home is with God our Father and Jesus our Savior and the Holy Spirit. God bless you and your family Joe. I always enjoy my coffee with you. Keep preaching, we're listening. ❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻☝🏻
❤
When we all go home, can you imagine what a reunion that will be with our brothers and sisters in Christ? Even though we don’t know each other, I hope we meet in our Heavenly home ❤️ 🙏🏻
@@reformedwheat5648 Thank you my friend 🤠 and I can't wait to meet you 🙏🏻☝🏻🙌🏻❤️
I’m in a very similar set of circumstances, I can definitely relate. God knows and we’re not alone. Bless you! 💗💐🌷🙏🏼💕
@@amandabolden2077 May God bless you as well 🤠👍🏻❤️
God has separated me for years so that I have more time alone with Him as He opens the truths in the Bible to me without the bias of churches that have fallen away from truth into dangerous error. I feel at peace and protected.
I had the opposite experience. I had few friends before i turned to Christ.. But when i met Christ i think i had 15 times more friends than before. Met SO many new believers. I was 18-19 back then.. But now.. 15 years later i am lonely and alone most of the time. Only work and home. Everyone in my church got married except me. Old friends and brothers don't have time for me anymore. They are commited to their families..
Same for me, I had no friends before I came to the Lord, then 3 months later I had new friends from a local Village, at the age of 22 God spoke to me audibly and also gave me a vision and lay on my heart the words to say to a young woman who was in the vision, and whom the Lord had spoke to me. I was too shy and did not speak the three words to her "rely on me" and my life fell a part through that disobedience, next April will be 40 years of waiting on the Lord to bring this woman back, I have been single all this time, I now feel too old to marry and not interested in a woman passed child bearing years!!
Try preaching against sin and see how many friends you have lol or saying that only men should preach for instance........ Try standing on the street corner and preaching I promise you even your church friends will leave.
Oh God bless you, it can be so hard aye, I've lost most of my friends and family because of my faith too.. praying for you to have companionship 😊❤
They are selfish.😮
I am alone too and I am older, because of health reasons I was isolated or I isolated myself for many years. I finally found a Biblical church and I am making friends, sure most are married and they all have kids but I am accepted and loved, finally. You still have a chance to meet someone and have kids. I will pray for you. If you don't there are many great Christians that have never married or had kids. I know how you feel I wanted a family of my own my whole life. I wasted years on one man that was selfish and abusive. When I was Saved I realized how much of my life was wasted. God has plans for us all. It will happen when you least expect it. Because I am too old now, I don't even care or go looking for a man, if it happens I would be pleasantly surprised but I would never be with a non Christian. Believe me 40 is still relatively young, don't give up like did, it is my greatest regret. God bless.
Yes. In my personal and professional life.
When I share anything on how the Lord had worked in my life or business, I end up losing viewers and customers.
The Lord has me and my business ❤❤❤ I will not worry.
I feel so alone. I am 53. Divorced twice. First husband schizophrenic- marriedb12 yrs, second husband-10 yrs, addicted to games. So many jobs and schooling, but there is no vocation. Broke Financially, spiritually, heart broken. It seems never-ending. I don't know how much more I can take. I have lost most of my family and several friends, ( Gid has taken them home). I pray and fast and read the Bible. I don't watch wrong things... I need guidance. I feel like I can not obtain insight. I have not given up. I have been so close. This feels like I am telling on God. But I ache. I cry so much. Please pray for me. Thank you.
Pray Abba sends you a heavenly embrace ..
I had one once..
@@petervanwyngaard4788 That sounds lovely.
I've spent most of my Christian walk alone but God uses that to help keep me God dependent and not man dependent, as it would be all too easy for me to pour out my heart to friends instead of to God.
And I make my share of mistakes despite my best efforts and me arrogantly thinking I can do things in my own strength. They are God's gracious way of helping keep me humble and dependent on Him.
I'm alone due to bad health, a disability. I don't go out to church anymore, but I have gotten closer to God. I enjoy your videos along with a few others. God bless you.
I have also been isolated due to a health issue. I hated never being able to commit to things due to my health. By His Grace and Mercy, as of Jan this year, He has healed me and it is so good to be back in the house of the Lord. I will keep you on my prayer list. I believe we will be going "Home" Soon... The world is exactly as He said it would be in the end days.. So , I say... SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE SOON.... God Bless you and I pray you will have joy in the morning...
You are not losing anything by not go to church, because most churches are in bed with the Mother Church of OZ/the Vaticanus!!! Bless you!!
I am alone most of the time. My husband passed on 12 years ago. I started the study Bible in 2017. I have been having issues with my spine, which obviously affected my legs, feet and everything else. I so much want to get back to the Bible, but sitting and concentration has become a problem. Please keep me in your prayers. I thank you Joe that God is using you so mightily to do his work. Bless you!! 🙏🙏🙏
I am adding you to my prayer list. God bless you friend. 🙏💕
Joe - Trust in God. he knows what you should be doing. Listen and follow His voice. He is happy with your efforts. God bless you.
Thank you for being on TH-cam and the internet. I think it's a wonderful thing because these platforms need the word. People's homes, minds and hearts need the Father's manna even its on the internet. God bless you and your family!
Hi everyone I have a disability I m slow in understanding. I was 40s to 50. I was with the church of Christ all my life. I ve always been alone I ve lost my faith for a while because most people there just stared at me like I m different which I am. Given time I had to go to another church. And I feel great with it. I've repented from whatever so now I got reborn. Amen❤ have a good day God be with you.
Hallelujah! Welcome home, Sister!
Thanks love you through Jesus Christ
I m a man
My isolation happened when i turned 30, before my 30s i was sinning, drinking, fighting, drugs, i had so much hate for everyone. Then without warning people around me just stopped wanting to go out with me. Had this empty feeling for 10 year's after. Then after becoming a christian ✝️ now looking back i can see why this isolation happened years before. I was very much in sin big time, self destruction happened because i didn't believe in the Lord. Now i have a great church family of ⛪️ St Jude plus i really enjoy being isolated as my eyes are now opened to the truth and the truth is Our Lord Jesus Christ Amen!
Church family is amazing. A smaller church and bible study.
Pray for me I'm very lonely.
I’ve been a believer for several decades and I can truthfully say you are a blessing to me, Joe. Don’t be concerned about making mistakes and having thoughts that someone else could probably do a better job. I need to remind you that God doesn’t necessarily call the qualified but He always qualifies “the called”. Keep serving The Lord by making these videos…His Word won’t return void and will accomplish what He pleases. Isaiah 55:11
I have never blended with family and the world since childhood. I never understood why I was different but blamed myself and called myself strange. I tried to blend in even when I truly hate the culture, the way of life the world chooses. I did what the world expected me to do, married all for the wrong reasons the ungodly wicked man and GOD had to end that marriage. THE LORD seperated me because he does that with his elect. I am 65 alone with a disabled child, my other son whom I raised I thought in the LORD, said he does not believe in GOD anymore, after college, I do not know him anymore. It is all GOD'S PLAN HE IS SOVEREIGN. I have never felt close to the LORD in my life than I am now. He never leaves nor forsakes his beloved.
Love all who belong to CHRIST JESUS MY LORD.
Hi Brother, I am 66 year young christan lady who Jesus. In 2020, I have lost my mom, my mother n law, my husband, and my 42 yr old son and 2 of my loved cats.all my friends are dead. I am now playing the piano for a very small church . I know that God's has huge plans for me. God our Father tells me, to be a soul winner and help build His Kingdom, soul upon soul. To be a witness. I am filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I am strong and bold in Jesus.. you are awesome in Jesus Brother. I appreciate you posting. I pray Jesus keeps His loving arms around you and shield you from the attacks Satan and his evil ones.
I too will be 66 yr young this year 🎉 May the Lord bless you and keep you ❤ we are never alone but sometimes we feel lonely because we are not with the Lord , now we see darkly but one day we will see clear 🙏
Your mistakes are genuine mistakes, not the intentional mistakes alot of ministers make to lead you away from christ and empty your pockets. Thank you for leading me to christ. Please stay safe and continue on your journey.
That’s not the Lord putting doubts in your mind it’s satan. You just keep doing what you’re doing. You are helping many people through hard times. You are the light in many lives. ❤️🙏🏻
I wasted many years, so this time alone I'm catching up on bible-prophecy and studying of God's word. ❤
Enjoy your videos very much. The most important thing to me is your honesty you don’t hear preachers say things about themselves. It gives me great comfort in my walk with the Lord.
Really been having a hard time with the isolation. It just feels like the LORD Himself has turned Has turned His back on me. I entrusted my life savings to His care while caring for my folks through their final years. At the end of it, I ended up alone, broke and in declining health. I beg the LORD to let me go Home to be with Him but He doesn't seem to be listening to any of my prayers. So so weary. Thank you for speaking on this subject. 💕🙏💕
That's so hard. Jesus cares, he does. God bless you.
He’s there he’s with you he’s testing our faith when we get more mature Christian and not having to have reinsurance all the time it means that we’re growing in faith, but he is with you
You did the right thing supporting your aged parents, beloved of God. Be patient, He hears you and has seen your obedient heart. You have sown good seed, it is a matter of time before you see the yield of it. Praying for your soul to rejoice again in the Lord your Redeemer! ❤🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌❤️
God bless and comfort you ❤
What a lovely message to run across this morning. No coincidence here ❤ I got sober from alcohol four years ago. I still struggle with smoking. I survived a childhood full of alcoholism and every form of abuse. I was saved and baptized at ten years old. But the abuse got worse after that and I became convinced I was not in the God club. I wasn't good enough. In so sobriety after much prayer and meditation I came to understand that I had never been left behind. I still have a problem with God allowing all that to happen to me (growing up repeating my parents lifestyle) and now for the past six months or so I have backed way off my God -time. The pressure of a totally miserable marriage and the effects of my past in my face every day are getting the best of me. Prayers appreciated ❤
God bless you🙏🏼
Look how far He has brought you from. Be encouraged although it’s difficult. I’ve had a childhood like you would believe and was from another religion/culture and was so afraid of giving my life to Jesus as a child BUT He held me through all the pain and at 49 years old, I’m surprised I’ve made it this far. Grace, Grace, Gods AMAZING Grace🙏🏼🕊️✝️
Imagine how you’ll feel when He embraces you on that day when you get to see Him FACE TO FACE! And says … ‘well done my beloved …’ it will all be worth it and super great will be your reward.
Blessings 🙏🏼🕊️
I’m an introvert, been isolating myself my whole life.
Lately I woke up in a cold sweat, panicked and anxious. Ive been alone for most of my life and I support my retired mother and her disabled husband. Theyre more than family theyre my best friends and Im so grateful for what God had blessed me with, I would have nothing without Him.
But im scared, Im scared of my future and what will I do when theyre gone. Who will I share my life with or by that point will I just be a sad and lonely old man?
Im so starved for affection and tender loving bond it hurts like a hot knife stuck in my heart.
These thoughts make me so fearful, am I making an idol out of something I shouldnt?
Ive been very stoic and accepting of my loneliness but the past few weeks its suddenly on my mind and I cannot get rid of these thoughts and fears.
I pray daily and knowing Christ is my Lord and Shepard is the only thing that brings me peace, but I seem unable to reconcile with this terrible pain in my heart, it feels like hot lava and chokes me up 😢
Do you have a church family?
@@beaberean3842 Yes, but maybe I need to get more involved. I have good Christian friends I'm sure we could spend more time together as well, even if it's for charity or whatever
God please take the feeling of fear away from this sweet person. Comfort them and ease the mind in Jesus name amen
@@maccone1 Thank you very much, God bless 😊🙏
Fear is from the enemy dear one.. FACT. Any and all fear is from darkness.. rebuke it in the name of Jesus/Yeshua. He does not want you to have trust in God's plan for you. I am now at peace of never finding a future partner. So much so, I don't even try to look. Fellowship is what we need in these circumstances. Please do not fear anymore. Seek peace and reject those thoughts.. Be blessed.
A lot of times I feel a lone and there are lots of people around. Thank you for being an average Joe, I have encountered too many fake people.
For those of us that feel alone, it is so refreshing to know, we are never alone. God bless us all.🙏🥰🇺🇸
This was so encouraging as I am the watch woman on the wall for my home, wider family, neighbors and town. I have no friends or family to share this walk. I only have on line church. I often feel the weight of going it alone, and it can pull me so low, but I know God has been my help and strength each day. Years of prayer and fasting and seeing no fruit is hard going and waiting is the hardest part, especially when you see them further into the world. If I didn’t have God’s help I would not want to face another day in battle. God is my rock, my love, my life. Thanks for this timely message. It sounds as if your just in the right place until God shows you otherwise. Also remember your time with your wife and children and also ‘me time.’ Just time doing something that you enjoy, only you know what that is.🔥📖🔥
❤🙏
Joe, I am isolated for a different reason and quite unique also. I would not be surprised or do I hold it against anyone who doesn’t want to have anything to do with me. I have been saved since I was 19 years old. Then I got really sick with life threatening sleep apnea, horrible diabetes to just name a couple things. During this time of sickness I committed a felony which was totally unacceptable to everyone who knew me. My friends, my family, and all my brothers and sisters in Christ will not have anything to do with me. Including all of the pastors who have known me for years
Thank you Joe I am 70 year young I live on my own for a long time so I needed is video God bless I love all you say
My husband is a pastor and ministry is very lonely at times. Thankful that Jesus never leaves us. Praying for you and your precious family.
This came across my feed shortly after my beloved said he wasn't strong enough to handle my taking care of my mom full time in another state with almost no help, called off our engagement and left me. I'm determined to read the Bible all the way through, no matter how long it takes. I'm devastated. I covet all of your prayers.
I have felt this alone before and because I am a believer. But this time it is because my daughter has rejected faith and therefore me as well. She wants to use me to run errands, babysit. But limits our time together. Local churches have also changed since Covid. I have tried many. Pastors run out the door before the congregation. Fellowship dinners have people separated into family groups not welcoming to people they did not grow up with. I made a couple of friends with neighbors then they moved. I have time with God and scripture and have found details I forgot or never knew. I have Bibles to give away and no takers. A VA support group that suddenly quit meeting. Please pray for me. I am losing my grip. I do not know any other ways to reach out. I am not used to the church and family both pushing me away at the same time. Jesus is my Rock. It is also nice to have people I can see and hear. God bless you.
Reading these comments, I realize that no matter how individual lives started out, so many people find themselves stuck in a lonely world, abandoned by friends and family for various reasons. As for me, hearing that other people are desperate, does not help when I am desperate. Yes, we draw closer to God. But I pray that He will send to all here, sweet showers of blessing after the dry season. In Jesus' name, amen.
Thank you for the study.
We’ve been out on our ten acre property since 2020. Very isolated out here. Stopped going to church because the pastor isn’t a pastor. It’s really sad. Now, Working from home, shopping online. Don’t go into town very often.
Joshua 1:9
“Haven’t I commanded you? Be brave bold and courageous because God, YOUR GOD, goes with you wherever you go”.
We are never truly isolated or alone. 🙏🏽😀👍🏾
I work 90% of the time by myself. I come home(wife works nights and is asleep) I'm alone, I go to bed alone, I wake up to cook and eat breakfast alone. We have no kids. All my friends are busy with their children. I'm alone, im alone, im alone. I some times call my mother just to have someone to talk to.
Praying you and your wife create some good quality time together, perhaps a date-night once a week, or a hike in the woods at the weekend, or reading a book or Scripture to each other... This electronic age has created walls between ourselves and even the most immediate people in our lives. 😢 But go out in Faith and ask the Lord to help you change your lonely marriage. He loves you and is Faithful!
I feel like God is using isolation to kind of punish me for not leading my family to Jesus. I've been alone for 6 years now and I have felt close to Jesus at times, but nowhere near where I should be. He did save me from just ending it all shortly after my separation. But I have a couple of sins I just cannot seem to be able to get away from and I am paying for it dearly. I have prayed for God to change me and take it all away so many times. I know He hears me and is waiting on me to make my side of the effort. I know we will never be sinless, but these sins are eating me alive inside. It stops me from drawing closer to God and doing what He wants me to be doing with the remaining years of my life. I hate this world so much and I get caught up in that hatred so much that I isolate myself from everyone. I know this isn't the way He wants me to live, but some of us have depression set in and it's so hard to break. You have helped in recent years, as well as others. Pray for me, that I should finally break through and draw closer to Jesus while I still can.
I CAN relate. Suddenly all my family AND my husband are gone, and I'm living in a mini studio apartment alone.
Same for me. It's really weird and hard inside my head! I talk to God all day!
I've been feeling like this. Even around Christian "friends". I never feel like anyone is really truly my friend. I feel as if no one really cares about me and it brings me down, but I saw this video pop up twice now and felt God wanted me to watch it. I didn't have time when I first saw it pop up yesterday and knew I'd forget about it, and when I logged on TH-cam today it was the first video that popped up. I'm so glad you posted this because it's really helped me. Thank you for that. Thank you for listening to God and following His leading. You may think it may not have an impact or help someone, but it's made me see things differently and realize God may be wanting me to rely on Him alone and realize people are not as reliable as God is. God bless you and your family 🙏
Hi Joe, you are a great preacher, my daughter and I love listening to you. You make your messages very easy to understand. Please continue to teach people God's word. 😇
Yes Joe I feel isolated. My wife and I lost our home that we are renting after five years and now we are in a camper my daughters camper we live in her driveway. I had a ministry started at 2015 a crew over 2000 now it seems maybe 20 people following now. your videos have helped me get through a lot. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family
Praying for you and you wife right now. God bless you both.
I prefer this channel Joe. Feels more real and down to Earth. God bless you.
God bless you, I'm going to try and post more!!
Joe I asked the Lord Jesus today as I felt lonely. Why am I so isolated and now you are answering me. I always seem to connect to you very well. I also was very popular and bullied and now I get left out of pretty much everything to do with my old friends and family. But I have Street preached and people to have listen to me and thanked me usually other Christians which is really nice. I’m going to watch the second half of the video. Thank you for your work brother. It is so hard to get unsaved people to listen. I used to spend all my time in the pub and up all night after partying. Now I stay in on my own preaching online. Life can be tough sometimes, but I will never turn my back on Jesus for the kingdom of God is near. And I pray everyone finds salvation and repent now, and listen to word of God before it’s too late 🙏Amen
I’ve watched you for a long time. I really enjoy your channels.This video spoke to me this morning. I’ve been a widow for two and a half years. I’m right outside of Nashville Tennessee in the US. My husband was in Southern Gospel music for 50 years, and I was raised by a pastor. My faith is strong. The LORD is my Rock and my Salvation. I have been alone basically since he died. I have children and grandchildren but they have their own lives. They help me when I need it but in my day to day life, I’m totally alone. I wake up alone and I go to bed alone. It’s devastating. I talk with the LORD consistently through the day. He is always always by my side. I write because my husband and I had many friends. We were very active in our church. He was still doing publicity work in the gospel music industry. I was usually surrounded by people. When my husband died, everyone disappeared. My friends quit calling. My family even stepped back. I have literally been living with an actual broken heart. I didn’t just lose him, I lost everyone, But GOD! I would not have made it through these years without Him. I know HE has a plan for me. I just don’t know what it is yet. I really appreciate your channel. You spoke about making mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. Our precious LORD looks only for a sincere heart. GOD Bless you as you continue your work spreading the Gospel. I’ll be looking forward to that wonderful day when we meet in Heaven.
Remember, God can use anyone for his glory. Praise God, we dont have to be perfect, just humble and love him with all our heart! May Jesus bless you always!
I am one of those who do not belong in the unsaved crowd and do not belong in the saved crowd. What to do!!! Keep our eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you, Joe. You are appreciated by those who have not met you but we will one day.
Hi young man, I have been alone for 16 years now. I am a widow. It’s hard to be alone. I know the Lord is with me. I wish I could hug Him. I have told my God that when I am with Him, I want to hug him 24 /7. 😂😂😂 in real life it’s very difficult to find a Christian man. God bless you in your ministry.
Bless you! I’m sure you’ll get your wish hugging HIM for eternity 😃🕊️🙏🏼
It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one whose family doesn’t support them. They don’t believe in me at all. Mine are a step further, they are rooting for me to fail. Mark 6:4 addresses this too. “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.”
We, the church, are being isolated to separate the church from the world.
Having traveled "the clouded tunnel" wearing linen garb at 15yrs old, Jesus was there waiting. No words can describe the serene feeling of heaven. Was told it wasn't my time, that I had a long life ahead, this said without Him ever opening His mouth. God is real, Jesus is real. I've never felt that feeling here on earth. Always know Jesus is and will always be there for us 🙏
Thank you for this encouragement Brother. And please know we are praying for you & lifting you up. Your work for the Lord is so very important during this time. Take heart!💜
I don't think I stumbled across your channel by chance. I am 60 years old and love the lord. My neighbours dislike me and have no real friends. I am always lonely but if it's the lords will, so be it.
Just like Elijah felt like he was the only Prophet left. The Father told him He's reserved 7,000 that have not bowed the need to Baal (1Kings 19). You have helped to expose the "7,000" through this talk to me. The loneliness sometimes has been immense but now I see I have brothers and sisters going through the trial with me! Our King will never leave us!
I have been silently watching both of your TH-cam channels and enjoying them for over a year. Thank you for sharing God's word to many hurting confused people. You are my favorite one to listen to. May God continue to bless you 🙏
I am alone most of the day because my husband works and i use to work back in the Philippines but became jobless when i came in NZ. It took a toll in my mind knowing i wont be contributing financially but God told me not to worry for He will provide us everything we need. I struggled with self pity due to being a stay at home wife but God reassured me that whatever I do that i think is just small is actually significant for Him as long as i do it for God. Now i am more close to God than ever before because i read the bible and listen to sermons. I am isolated for a reason for now
I see now that the Lord is isolating me from the worldly people and things. Thanks for shedding light on this. It gives me comfort to know why things are how they are. God is shielding me from the world!
I am alone. Haven’t found any Christian friends who truly live for God in purity. As a girl I loved God and was separate because of worldly behaviors of peers. Married a man who abandoned me had many affairs and finally I divorced him. Then my entire family abandoned me. At 65 I am just mostly always alone. I pray. And pray and read the w. I watch my grandsons one day a week. But my kids don’t talk to me. I trust the Lord but just pray for one person who sees me can agree with me in prayer. It’s hard
You sound like my kind of friend. I look forward to meeting you in paradise, and you are in my prayers.🙏
Your message ministered to me very much. I’ve felt loneliness many time as a Christian. I considered it a test to draw me closer to the Lord. Loneliness even made me doubt my faith and God’s plan for my life. God was always faithful to me to correct my mind and emotions. Thank you.
May God richly bless Joe, his family and everyone reading this message! Xoxox
