Girl I haven’t worked since April. God USED my PETTY employer to fire me. That situation FORCED me into my destiny. It created time for me to GO STUDY FOR MY BOARD EXAM. This same exam I put off for 4 years (failed it twice while working and distracted). I PASSED that exam in May! I obtained my CLINICAL LICENSE 17 days ago. I got 5 JOB OFFERS. Im in a position to make WAY MORE MONEY THAT I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY ENTIRE CAREER!! He is now placed and is continuing to place MENTORS who mean well AND WANT NOTHING FROM ME BUT TO GROW AND SUCCEED! I’m also starting my own private practice. All in a matter of 2 months!!!! None of this would have been possible by my own might! God wakes me up EVERY NIGHT AT 1 and 4am to give me detailed specific instructions. These instructions includes (but for sure ain’t limited to): change in my diet, reconciling relationships, getting my children a bible (they willfully read everyday and I NEVER have to force them), get rid of certain things…there isn’t enough room in this message box for me to go on. GIRL I HARDLY RECOGNIZE MYSELF!!! I bare witness to this word! I BARE WITNESS TO THIS WORD!
I am just now watching this message today August 4th but at the time of it in June me and my husband were down to only $200, about to lose our vehicles and behind on our rent. Then came news of an inheritance that I knew nothing about but God did, and talk about a blessing it exceeds anything I’ve ever had seen in my life. That’s God taking care of what we can’t. He is so amazing!
Lord. I asked that you cast anything that is unlike you in my life. I asked that you allow me to start asking why it happen and not what happen. Allow me to stop gossiping and judging the people I love but give them encouragement, love and grace. I asked that I become a safe space for those people, and not become “RELIGIOUS.” Lord I ask for forgiveness on this day. Lastly, I asked that you used me for your will. In Jesus name, Amen! Happy Saturday ✨
I am currently unemployed, I have no money in my account and decided to move out from the place I stayed. I have the faith that I will get a job soon, relocate and testify He has given me peace and joy. God has been good to me. God has been so good to me and I am grateful and my faith carries me
I'm a college student facing the struggles of surviving life and attending school away from home, and God, My God, had proven to me repeatedly, through each battle, that He had made a way when I thought and was told it was no way.
Whoever's LISTENING this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Walls are coming down! Walls that have delayed my marriage, walls that have made our family stagnate, walls that are standing in every area of my life are coming down!!!! Walls against my finances and purpose are coming down!!! I am coming back here with a testimony of GOD'S goodness in my life!!!
The Lord has had me reading a chapter of Joshua each night. Tonight I thought I was taking a break and reading 2 Corinthians…. He told me to also read my next chapter of Joshua, which was Joshua 6. I get on TH-cam to listen to a sermon before bed and just casually select this video. Not so casual after all… Lord You are the greatest!
IN THIS SEASON OF MY LIFE, THE WALLS ARE COMING DOWN! THE WALLS OF CONFINEMENT, ISOLATION, OPPOSITION, UNFAIRNESS, PERSECUTION, AND "NOT ENOUGH" ARE COMING DOWN. GOD IS ABOUT TO EXPAND MY LIFE IN EVERY AREA --- IN MY FINANCES, IN MY RELATIONSHIPS, IN FAVOR WITH GOD AND WITH MEN, AND IN GODLY FRIENDSHIPS. THANK YOU LORD FOR EXPANSION!!
God remove all pettiness in me, so that I see and receive all your goodness in the land of the living. God you are good and marvelous are your deeds 🙌🙌🙌 I praise you My Lord 🙏🙏
@@bobbydigital5236 they probably received that as well. Shallow Christians who are so gullible...they took jook, wore face masks and mocked us chosen people who put ALL our faith in our creator and not fooled by contradictory safe/ experimental rhetoric.
God's purpose on us is always the best ,we might not see its goodness in the present but will recognize it in our future ...His ways are just not our ways,He knows our past, present and the future even beyond human flesh..so his purpose on us is the best

I was moved by your remarks regarding the contrast between God’s judgment (destruction of Jericho) and His mercy (sparing Rahab’s life). I’ve taken various comforts and confidences in this story, but I never placed mercy and judgment juxtapose in this way. Amazing. I feel like I have attained to the confidence in my salvation that Christ died for me to have all over again. Talk about revival. Thanks, you miserable, hateful, but inexorably useful preacher!
Jesus came to help the loss the poor, the needy and those that need help they need the great physician to save their souls, minds spirits and to heal their physical bodies; Jesus is our deliverance from sin
This chapter speaks on the grace of God. No matter who you are or how far gone you think you are God can still use you for good. And all connected to you will also be blessed. Never look down on anybody. God can turn anybody into somebody. Thank you heavenly father ✝️
Lord, thank You for the grace that You poured out for me on the cross. You have freed me from the burdens of sin and guilt. Help me to walk in Your grace, not by my own measure. Give me the humility to know that my freedom is found only in You so that Your grace may sustain me and I may never lose sight of Your love and mercy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

TD Jakes, please pray for me, Michael Arbuckle Jr. I have had folk passed away and left me to discover money and property . Lord knows I need it. I like listening to you and your ministry. Also, pray for my mother, Deborah Turner she is sick. As well as Michael Arbuckle Sr and Marsialle Arbuckle Sr. Pray for all my elders because they think they are supposed to portion my inheritance out and give me nothing. I wrote the VP, Governor Gavin, and Karen Bass in California, and they think they are supposed to stall and turn my blessings into a curse. As I study law, I am struggling, and I don't want to act out or get into any trouble, so pray for me. May God bless you all and keep you safe. 😊
The word of God and the power of its truth will reach decimal that will make the walls and mountains in our lives fall down Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah in Jesus Christ Holy name Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
I listen to Bishop Jakes almost everyday- every morning as soon as I open my eyes and he meets me at the exact place of whatever I’m dealing with EVERY TIME! Oh, thank you Lord for this man of God and his anointing, his anointed words. Amen and Hallelujah!
Dear Bishop jakes I pray for you , you will live your life to the fullest , Almighty God will continue to use you for his glory , the abundant glory of God shall over Shadow your life and your family in Jesus name, amen
‘Petty doesn't mean it doesn't have any merit, it means that it's just small, minor, trivial’ MINUTIA, mean spirited. Tell it, Bishop! 🙏🏾💯🗝🚪🚪🚪 My temptation is to MATCH all energy. God, help me because just cuz I can doesn't mean I should! All things permissible, but not beneficial
This was so necessary. I think I may have to listen to the message on pivoting now. I’m meditating on my life and the moment I am in now. The why of it. Petty wants to know what. Purpose wants to know why. It makes me stop and think about my actions and my words. I want to live in God’s purpose for me. I’m not hiding any spies but what did God prepare for me to do today? And why? And what will I have to say about that ? And why?
Bishop T.D. Jakes is a beloved message of God an educator, preacher, teacher,counsellor and source of inspiration to the word. His messages gives my life new meanings,it has helped me navigate various all of my life . Thanks to this prophet who is a professor in all subject. I pray God's blessings of good health and prosperity for the bishop and his family. ❤ Lo
This word was enriched. From the beginning to the end . The HOLY SPIRIT SAT IN THIS WORD FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. I AM happy I heard this. I couldn’t help but cry because this was for me . Thank you Bishop
I'm so glad for this word. Purpose isn't petty. Whenever God is developing your change. Don't allow those who can't see he saving you from danger. Yes, petty people will kill you. ❤
God be glorified. Do not forsake me or leave me. Have mercy on me may your grace be continually sure and your purpose fulfilled with all your gifted power throughout my petty mess which you will use for your purpose but will cause me out live.
This man can preach. He never needed those special audio-sound effects used. Thank you Lord Jesus. This reminded of a joke I heard. The scientists of the world said, they didn't need God. They decided to tell him. The scientist said to the Lord, we can make everything. We can make Ai robots, genetics and even a test tube baby and clones. God said, can you make a man from dirt? The scientist said, yes we can. God said, okay lets begin. Before the scientist began to work on it, God said, GET YOUR OWN DIRT. 😂😂🤣🤣😅😅

Thank you Bishop for sharing this Word! Thank you God for this revelation! Rahab was an unconventional method by which The Lord brought salvation unto the people of Israel and unto us, being The Great-Grandmother of Jesus Christ. God used her in such a mighty way. God operates through unconventional people to bestow blessings upon His children. Hallejuah! Thank you God!

I was moved by your remarks regarding the contrast between God’s judgment (destruction of Jericho) and His mercy (sparing Rahab’s life). I’ve taken various comforts and confidences in this story, but I never placed mercy and judgment juxtapose in this way.
Amazing. I feel like I have attained to the confidence in my salvation that Christ died for me to have all over again. Talk about revival.
Thanks, you miserable, hateful, but inexorably useful preacher!
This words was so on point..stop looking at the "what"..look at the "why"... God will choose HIS Purpose....🙌🏽
I just got suspended from my job and I have all this bills coming up I’m praying that all my bills are covered by the grace of God
🙏
Jesus came to help the loss the poor, the needy and those that need help they need the great physician to save their souls, minds spirits and to heal their physical bodies; Jesus is our deliverance from sin
This chapter speaks on the grace of God. No matter who you are or how far gone you think you are God can still use you for good. And all connected to you will also be blessed. Never look down on anybody. God can turn anybody into somebody. Thank you heavenly father ✝️
No Job No Car And Still Can't Pay My Bills. My God I Know You Are Walking Me Through A Path And I Have To Be Patient And Keep The Faith ❤
Am at a point in my life that everyone and everything is changing constantly but I stand on the fact that what God said is mine no man can take amen
Lord, thank You for the grace that You poured out for me on the cross. You have freed me from the burdens of sin and guilt. Help me to walk in Your grace, not by my own measure. Give me the humility to know that my freedom is found only in You so that Your grace may sustain me and I may never lose sight of Your love and mercy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

TD Jakes, please pray for me, Michael Arbuckle Jr. I have had folk passed away and left me to discover money and property . Lord knows I need it. I like listening to you and your ministry. Also, pray for my mother, Deborah Turner she is sick. As well as Michael Arbuckle Sr and Marsialle Arbuckle Sr. Pray for all my elders because they think they are supposed to portion my inheritance out and give me nothing. I wrote the VP, Governor Gavin, and Karen Bass in California, and they think they are supposed to stall and turn my blessings into a curse. As I study law, I am struggling, and I don't want to act out or get into any trouble, so pray for me. May God bless you all and keep you safe. 😊
The word of God and the power of its truth will reach decimal that will make the walls and mountains in our lives fall down Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah in Jesus Christ Holy name Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Every message is a blessings to my soul. The more I listen, the more change I see in me. Thank you Lord for these messages.
‘Petty doesn't mean it doesn't have any merit, it means that it's just small, minor, trivial’ MINUTIA, mean spirited. Tell it, Bishop! 🙏🏾💯🗝🚪🚪🚪
My temptation is to MATCH all energy. God, help me because just cuz I can doesn't mean I should! All things permissible, but not beneficial
@ouranoswealthgroup7042 That part! 😜 To being petty...😂😂😂 It's easier said than done. Lord, help us all. ♥️🌿👣
This was so necessary. I think I may have to listen to the message on pivoting now.
I’m meditating on my life and the moment I am in now.
The why of it. Petty wants to know what. Purpose wants to know why.
It makes me stop and think about my actions and my words.
I want to live in God’s purpose for me. I’m not hiding any spies but what did God prepare for me to do today? And why?
And what will I have to say about that ? And why?
OH GOD I love you! 😢😢😢❤❤❤ My HOPE for my entire family is in you!
You have choose the right part by believing in God....how are you doing today Sherilyn i hope everything is fine with you?

This man can preach. He never needed those special audio-sound effects used. Thank you Lord Jesus.
This reminded of a joke I heard.
The scientists of the world said, they didn't need God. They decided to tell him. The scientist said to the Lord, we can make everything. We can make Ai robots, genetics and even a test tube baby and clones. God said, can you make a man from dirt? The scientist said, yes we can.
God said, okay lets begin. Before the scientist began to work on it, God said, GET YOUR OWN DIRT. 😂😂🤣🤣😅😅
