To everyone reading this::: God is fighting your battles God is making a way for you God knows the right time God has a plan for your life And God never. Never fails
I am so confused. Everything seems so dark and today even more so. I feel broken, sad, desperate to get out of the dark. It would be good if today was my last day
@@marilyngatesgarner5929 Hey Marilyn....i know how you feel...im going through dark stuff now....but what helps me is to just focus on Jesus...He is everything....and this world is only temporary...our real home is in Heaven with Him :)....ill pray for you
If you're reading this every negative thing that has made you cry over the years will fade away & be replaced with Happiness, Laughter, Love & Blessings. Amen
Praying for you❣🙏💜 every cell of your body was made by Jesus, through Jesus, and for Jesus, because you belong to God, and He knit you together in the womb.
Here is some truth, Jesus prayed for Simon Peter that his faith will not fail. Luke 22:32 Jesus is also praying for those of us who are in Him, not only Jesus but also the Holy Spirit. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:34 KJV Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26 KJV
wow...so true!! And I made it thru to the light with my armour on and my heart/mind/soul tattered but intact! God IS POWER! God is mercy...God IS love....its sooo worth the battle bro and sis...do life with Jesus!! God bless whomever reads/agrees..amen
1. God is with us. 2. God always has a purpose for the darkness we walk through. 3. He will only keep us in darkness to accomplish His purpose. 4. We are always walking towards the dawn of a new day. 5. What you learn in the darkness Speak in the light.
I ask everyone to please pray for my daughters mom and my other half; she ( Karen) has been sick for 3 weeks, got paralyzed 22 years ago and I been taking care of her and my daughter for that long. She is in a i c u. Right now, her heart is weak and they have her in a medical induced coma. Our daughter is going to be 23 years old and my daughter is real close to her. I’m worried that my daughter Charlene is not going to know how to handle it if thing’s turn out any worse for her mom , which is all she has besides me! Pray for all of us please; thank you Jesus Christ we love you!
Please pray for me. I have a head and spine injury that is so severe I've been bedridden for 2 years. Doctors have tried 12 procedures without success. Please pray for my healing. In Jesus' name. Thank you
May the Lord my God, help you in times of weakness and pain,,May he sustain you by his grace so that his strength and courage do not fail but uplift you..may he heal you according to his will and inspire you to believe that what happens to you is trivial in light of eternity...God bless you exceedingly
Beautiful lines and words to express how it felt to be talented to good word out spoken 😊 Hello Melissa 💖 It's my pleasure to meet you here an honourable personnel like you 🤗 I'm mason and also an orthopaedic surgeon, I would love to know you better than a mere greeting, So how are you doing, hope you are safe over there?
God is with you. He has a purpose for the things that are happening in your life right now. When he has accomplished His purpose, your circumstances will change. Trust Him to lead you through the darkness.
I must remember...God is bigger than what I'm facing. Just diagnosed with breast cancer. Would anyone please pray for me using the power of the Word of God ? I desire divine intervention for a miraculous healing. And believe I am under attack in order to stop God's plans for me to help spread the Gospel. I humbly Thank you. Deborah

Because Jesus is the Light of this World,He shines better in the dark places and times in our life.Others may not notice it but the person walking through it can see and feel the awesome presence,not comparable with anything else in its power and the benefits priceless.

I find such joy when seeing Doctors, men and women of science, who place their faith and trust in holy God, ABOVE their profession. Don't misunderstand me, Science is such a wonderful and nessecary tool for us. But it seems that our society has forever mandated that u must chose a side, Science or God, and that is just absolutely absurd!! Afterall, God CREATED science, along with every other single thing that ever was, is, or will be! Last April, I had an ALIF and Lower Lumbar Fusion 2 days apart. It corrected back pain that I've had since I was 8 years old. It took doctors until I was almost 38 years old, to even awknowledge I had an issue at all, let alone one that required 2 major surgeries. The only reason they found it this time, was bc the 900th surgeon I consulted with, had an " out of characteristic feeling and urge" , with absolutely no seemingly reason, previous past patient similarity, or evidence, to have me take an Xray ( which mind u, I probably have had 500 xrays and MRI's from countless different specialists, hospitals, etc etc over the past 30 years-- all resulting with no issues found), but this time, bending backwards. She found that the bone at the base of my spine, the important one that stabilizes your spine, was broken! This broken bone, had several bone shards, that was stabbing my muscles and nerves, making the nerves going down both my legs excruciating. Bc this stabilizing bone broke,, two disc's above it,, literally shattered, also causing shards of bones to stab my muscles and nerves. I had had terrible back pain since I was about eight years old, but not to the degree of pure, concentrated crippling agony until I was about 30. I became hunched over, and had to use a cane or walker just to walk at all, but the pain was pure hell. NOTHING I did relieved it, even slightly! It was agony to walk, agony to stand, agony to sit, agony to lay down...there was no relief, there was no escape, there was NO BREAK!!! See, while this has been an 31 year affliction, I used to have breaks from the pain during the day. Currently, I have not had a break in over 7 years. For the past 7 years of this affliction, every single second, of every single moment, of every single day, I am in agony. I have not had a break from crippling pain in nearly a decade. The physical toll on ur body is inconceivable to those who have never physically felt it themselves, but the emotional toll is indescribable. My own family, (who have seen me literally lay in bed and pull out my own hair, from the seemingly perpetual affliction), even they don't even begin to understand it. And I praise God that they dont!!! I am ashamed to say, I have BEGGED and PLEADED God to end my life, rather spend another second in this hell. I wasn't living...no, not in years...I merely existed. I can never remember ever not believing and loving God and I cannot remember my age, when I became saved, but I do know that I was around 12 years old when i re-dedicated myself to Jesus. I have intently listened, even as a young child, to Dr. Charles Stanley, since I was about 8 years old. He was the ONLY Pastor that I felt spiritually fed from, KNOWING deep down, to the Core of my soul, to every fiber of my being, that this man is sincere, accurate, and ABSOLUTELY a man led byTHE LIVING GOD! So, I could not understand or wrap my head around WHY God allowed this. Bc you see,, even in the beginning,, as hurtful and as catastrophic as it wasand still is, for me, I knew, that I KNEW, it was NOT a Satanic attack.I cannot explain how, only to say, that God could not have communicated it any clearer to me, if he stood at my side speaking audibly, it wouldn't have been any clearer, than how he placed it on my heart from the start, that this was not a Satanic attack. I NEVER, EVER had to wonder WHO this was from. I did ,however wreck my brain for a very long time, as to WHY, but never WHO. I do not wonder anymore. God was, and still is refining me. He is teaching me many, many, many lessons, that I'm embarrassed to say, I would have never sought God with such vigor, urgency, and COMPLETE AND UTTER DEPENDACY , upon the Lord. Now, don't misunderstand me, I have ALWAYS been a God-loving, God-fearing woman.....HOWEVER, I was a very unique and independent woman, who had left an abusive husband years ago, and I valued my individuality and independence above EVERYTHING ( and short of my son), above EVERYONE!! I respected, loved and feared God much too much, to deliberately make a promise that I had no intentions of keeping, so I NEVER, EVER considered giving God the reigns over my life. The past few years of this affliction,, God broke me. He allowed me to still have my precious son,, and he allowed me to still have both my parents ( THANK YOU HOLY, HOLY GOD, THANK YOU! GLORY IS YOUR NAME FATHER!), but he took everything else. I don't mean this figuratively, I mean he took it all away. God broke me. Now, he is refining me, then placing me in the fire, then refining me more, then placing me back in the fire, then refining more further.....and THANK GOD HE IS! I have galaxies to go, and this has been the most humbling and heart wrenching experience of my entire life( and I've lived through grief. Two different doctors once told me the exact same thing with different wording, but the exact same thing, and that was, even tho I am a young woman, it would take a very, very elderly person, living SEVERAL lifetimes, to equate the tragedy and grief i have experienced in my life), and even still, this experience has been the hardest. It hit me from every single direction, in every single aspect of my life. God knew EXACTLY how to get this independent-individuality loving woman's attention. God allowed my surgeon last year, to find a problem that countless others swore never even existed, for over 30 YEARS! Back pain i suffered for that 30+ years, is now gone....my back LITTERALLY feels better than it did when I was a child, even before a teenager! My hips were not helped at all, with the 2 surgeries, and they have only gotten worse. My neurosurgeonkeeps referring me to orthapedics...Orthopedics keep referring me to neurosurgery....meanwhile, I don't even know what to ask them to look for. It's incredibly nervy, sharp, feeling like acid burning- being poured into several, several wounds left by ice pick stabbing. I feel all this, at the exact same time, the bones feel like I have been clamped on both sides of my hips with huge c-Clamos, and they are crushing every single centimeter of my both sides of my hips, to absolutely dust powder. My doctor asked me last year, what do I like to do for fun, and I sat there, and I realized I suddenly became very confused. I couldn't remember. And when I realized this, sitting there in his office, I started to sob , and it was uncontrollable. It's very, very rare I allow others to see me weep, but I could not contain nor fight it. It was a hard, salty, mournful sob. There are times that ppl have a cry, but other rare times...the cry will have you, and that's what happened to me. I sat there weeping, bc I had been in crippling agony for so long, I couldn't remember what I did for fun, I couldn't remember what I was into or about, I couldn't even remember the last time I felt good,happy, excited, not even interested!!! That was one of the lowest moments of my life. I still cant answer any of those questions. God has not yet let me know if I am to suffer this affliction for the rest of my earthly life, or if he has placed a limitation upon it. Some days I am emotionally strong...and on those days He strengthens me to be able to thank him for this affliction, for with it, I am being molding into his Son's image. There are other days, I plead for him to cast it off, and from me, as far as the East is set from the West. I ask for all, even for any, that have read my post, that you please, please, pray for me. Not that this cup pass me by, and that it may end...No. But to pray that he strengthens, sustains, encourages, comforts me, and that I whole-heartidly understand His will for my life....that he will lift me up from this pit of despair with His RIGHTOUES RIGHT HAND, and sets me upon high places, and ESTABLISHES me. Prayers that I may have wisdom and understanding of how He thinks, how He operates, how He works. Prayers that He shows me great and marvelous works...that He speaks to me...uses me. I'm here Lord. I'm willing, Lord God. Im available....Im listening.
Many times dark seasons are the seasons In which God is stripping us of most things and people because we chose these things/ people on our own, God had NO part of it. Then we sit back wondering why we never had PEACE with those things/ people. If you are in a dark season, God is stripping you in order to re- build your life. Stop fighting against the waves because you will cause the storm to linger longer. It will be HARD, it will feel unnatural BUT go with the flow and let go of YOUR control. He will give you more than you EVER had! He will restore everything you lost BUT THIS TIME he will be apart of it so it will last a lifetime and you will have PEACE with the new blessings. Please...do NOT give up!!!! This to shall pass...
Thank you. Many of us need this very much. But the problem is even if you want to go with the wave deciding not to fight against the wave, the onlookers would always push us to "do" our best not to sit idle.
@@joshyaj4317 Hey there!! Usually during this season, God will have us in isolation at some point. He knows people will attempt to discouage us. Temptation will be very heavy during this time. God will Usually start moving people away from us who will not go to the next level with us but few of these people will return after God us finish processing us. He needs us to SOLEY hear from him so he will eventually move all distractions including people 😊
@@joshyaj4317 He will DEFINITELY bring you out! Just do YOUR part by saying no to ALL temptation. God will be watching to see how much you trust him. Once you turn the temptation down, God will ALWAYS send an escape. If he has ended certain relationships, don't attempt to pick them back up. Some of these relationships will come back together in the next season IF it's part of God's plan. Most importantly, ask God to reveal to you the message in the storm. SEEK the message because every storm has a message and we must be STILL to hear the downloads. The storm will end much more sooner when we decide to stop resisting but decide to seek the message. You are equipped my friend! I believe in you!!! Your best season is up next!!!
Everyone goes through hard dark times. My very dark times have lasted twenty-four years - (1997-2021). I know God is with me. I am stronger because I stay in His word.
Beautiful lines and words to express how it felt to be talented to good word out spoken 😊 It would soon be over dear, Hello Katie It's my pleasure to meet you here an honourable personnel like you 🤗 I'm mason and also an orthopaedic surgeon, I would love to know you better than a mere greeting, So how are you doing, hope you are safe over there?
Please pray for me I have insomnia for many years n it becomes worse even sleeping pills don’t work well sometimes ... I m depressed n forgetful n I m living alone a senior citizen 🙏
I have been saved for more than forty years. While I have been going through a great trial, the man that has helped me most is a man that regularly listens to Dr. Stanley. Please God, give me the kind of faith Dr. Stanley has.
(Hebrews11:6)but without Faith it is impossible to please the Lord,he who comes to the Lord must believe that he is,and he is a rewarder of those who Faithfully seek him.
As a child of God I know that He's always with me through the Storm. He carries me heals me provides for me protects me and comforts me. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is Faithful Gracious Merciful and Worthy To Be Praised Hallelujah ✝️🙏🏾💖✝️🙏🏾💖
Thanks so much to Dr. Stanley for this awesome message that I needed to hear. I'm going through a dark time now in my life. It seems like years. I can not bear much more. I'm looking for the light at the end of the tunnel as one of our Lord's chosen ones.God bless you all! Peace be with you!
Praise God! He is worthy! He always has us by the hand. Ready to lead us into his will. He's so good to us. Even in the trying times. He sees us through!
This message was really 100% true to me. During those times that my husband left me with 3minor children i was really devastated thinking i cant stand without him. But God was all i have. He was really with me just like the foot prints in the sand. We cant understand His plan from that moment but rest assured God is helping us tru our darktimes. He is there working in and through us . 💖
"GOD uses people to teach people" ❤THE GREAT PRINCIPLES OF GOD 1.) GOD is with us. 2.) GOD always has a Purpose for the darkness HE allows us to walk through. 3.) HE will only keep us in the darkness until HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED HIS PURPOSE. 4.) We are ALWAYS WALKING towards the DAWN OF A NEW DAY. 5.) Those things we LEARN in the darkness we are to SHARE IN LIGHT (Matt 10:27). ❤YOU LEARN MORE IN THE DARK THAN IN THE LIGHT.❤ ❤❤GOD IS FAITHFUL, To GOD Be The GLORY!!!❤❤
I have preached this truth myself for decades, though not so ably. Now God has brought me into great suffering and I struggle to believe myself what I have preached. It is hard to believe God loves us when we have seen neither sun nor stars for many days.
Amen !God is good , God always has a purpose for our suffering , he will be with us through all of it , he will never leave me or forsake me, he knows best, thank you pastor 🥹🙏🏾☦️
God is awesome! This preaching is perfectly for me. I am currently in the darkness for marrying unbeliever. God is with me and HE has purpose for allowing me in this situation. I know this is consequence of my decision but God never leave me nor forsake me even in my transgressions. Thank you JESUS, thank you HOLY SPIRIT for always being with me. Thank you Father for your never ending love🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Glory to God for the life of Dr. Charles Stanley. Please pray for me to those who will read my post. God bless you all🙏🏻
The only way that you learn and grow walking in dark times,is walking them with JESUS,who Himself did walk in such places. I have walked in many dark places in my life time with Him.He wants to lead me in green pastures,and beside still waters at this time in my life.🌺🌿🌺
@@tanyabowers9922 The Lord does take care of us! My Mom’s funeral was today…. and I love Jesus so much that my Faith has grown deeper. Thank you dear fellow friend in Christ. To God be all the glory!!!
Would appreciate prayers. We left Jehovah's Witnesses after 40 years and our children will not speak to us and we are not allowed to see our grandchildren. On top of that out health is not good. We lost all friends. All of this because we turned to Jesus. But we continue to praise out creator.
I Have Heard This Truth From DR. Stanley In Late Eighties And It Was Very Good Encouragement For Me At The Very Dark Times On My Life .May The Lord Bless Him And His Family And In Touch Ministries.
This is one of the wonderful teachings I has listened in my life. Thank you God for your servant Dr Charles Stanley with his wisdom and understanding of your Word.
Lord hear my prayers help me to don’t lean on my own understanding This struggles are real 2014/2021 your Time it is the best please continue to hold my hand and keep me courage lamb of god the creator of the universe Please protect my young Youth the condition that his father is taking him threw 😢😢because of disobedience My son has to suffer father God your wheel in your way 🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢
When I faced my worst fear and it seemed everyone forsake me, the Lord was right by my side. He truly never forsakes us. I will forever be thankful for His faithfulness.
i need some prayers to stay away from negative videos on you tube ive always been a thriller/horror/ mystery lover , now i do wanna say i dont think watching a good mystery or thriller is bad however horror is bad as it has spirits attached to it alot of the times i find myself sometimes getting sucked into the rabbit hole horror called ARG videos most of them are so creepy and cryptic but its making me feeling negativity around me pray the Lord to keep me on track. thank you
Be very, very careful what you let in through your eyes. If you were to suffer a nervous breakdown or insomnia, those images will cause you a great deal of suffering. God allowed a devil to attack me because I spent too much time with the TV. I have suffered for two years because of hat attack, with many violent images haunting me in the night and taking away my sleep.
I'm standing on Gods word that my adult children will be delivered from drugs . It looks dark right now , but Hallelujah my God lives and wont lie. He will bring deliverance to my children. Praise You Father God . In Jesus name .
What a wonderful teacher you are Charles Stanley,Dr Stanley, thank you so so much for your wonderful messages,we are truly blessed and you are truly annoyed.
Ive never seen Pastor Stanley this demonstrative in my whole life while preaching/ teaching a sermon. He really felt this message to the bone, his body language says believe what I say cause I have experienced some very very dark days but I came out more faithful , humble, wiser, and so much more.
I am Still suffering the divorce pain with unbeliever husband and unbelieving mom, dad and sister.. I am going through hell on earth every single day, wanted desperately to end this life. .someone please pray for me
Thank you Father God for leading me to this powerful message. I've been going through some darkness at my job. You are already fighting my battles. In Jesus Mighty name Amen!
First of all, Thank you so very much Dr. Stanley, for your Service to God, and to us. The Bible is very hard for me to understand, and you have been MONUMENTAL in helping me understand and grow. You explain each lesson with great detail, but never overwhelming. You don't just preach the "WHAT", but you explain the "WHY" and "HOW". So often , teachers, preachers, etc, etc,etc can talk the "WHAT", all day and all night long, but without the ,"WHY" and "HOW", what hope do we have of retaining and APPLYING it? I have been listening, not hearing, but listening to you, since I was about 8 years old. I'm 39 now. I listened to you during my preganacy, and my son, who is now 19 years old, has been listening ever since! Thank you so very much, may Holy God continue to bless u here on earth, but Woooooooooowwwwwwww!! The treasure the Lord God has set for u in heaven, I can't even begin to imagine the magnatude! All that being said, I too, have been wandering in a very dark, very uncertain valley. Last April, I had an ALIF and Lower Lumbar Fusion 2 days apart. It corrected back pain that I've had since I was 8 years old. It took doctors until I was almost 38 years old ( I am currently 39 years old ), to even awknowledge I had an issue at all, let alone one that required 2 major surgeries.

I really felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in this message. It was meant for me to listen because I'm going thru some dark times. Anyone that's a christian please pray for me.
Dear Father God, thank you for always being faithful and loving us. Help us Lord to grow deeper in our faith day by day. Thank you for all our blessings. We praise your Holy name. Amen
Amen 🙏. I loved this sermon 🙌. The holy spirit and Charles's voice working together is so calming. God is great. Are God's not dead 🙏 He's Roaring on the inside Roaring like a Lion 🦁🐑

I’m in a dark time. But my faith will keep me with my eyes and heart on him.
Here is some truth,
Jesus prayed for Simon Peter that his faith will not fail. Luke 22:32
Jesus is also praying for those of us who are in Him, not only Jesus but also the Holy Spirit.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans 8:34 KJV
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:26 KJV
I am too.
I'm sending prayers. May Jesus continue to be our light!
I am in a dark time. I pray you are staying focused on Jesus. I am trying hard everyday to keep my eyes on Him.
Amen! Glory to God! How are you doing
"You learn a whole lot more in the dark than you do in the light." - So true.
Yes !! 👌🏿
That seems like a hard truth
wow...so true!! And I made it thru to the light with my armour on and my heart/mind/soul tattered but intact! God IS POWER! God is mercy...God IS love....its sooo worth the battle bro and sis...do life with Jesus!! God bless whomever reads/agrees..amen

We are going through all kinds of darkness right now. Remember He is with you.
God is with you. He has a purpose for the things that are happening in your life right now. When he has accomplished His purpose, your circumstances will change. Trust Him to lead you through the darkness.
I must remember...God is bigger than what I'm facing. Just diagnosed with breast cancer. Would anyone please pray for me using the power of the Word of God ? I desire divine intervention for a miraculous healing. And believe I am under attack in order to stop God's plans for me to help spread the Gospel. I humbly Thank you.

I find such joy when seeing Doctors, men and women of science, who place their faith and trust in holy God, ABOVE their profession. Don't misunderstand me, Science is such a wonderful and nessecary tool for us. But it seems that our society has forever mandated that u must chose a side, Science or God, and that is just absolutely absurd!! Afterall, God CREATED science, along with every other single thing that ever was, is, or will be!
Last April, I had an ALIF and Lower Lumbar Fusion 2 days apart. It corrected back pain that I've had since I was 8 years old. It took doctors until I was almost 38 years old, to even awknowledge I had an issue at all, let alone one that required 2 major surgeries. The only reason they found it this time, was bc the 900th surgeon I consulted with, had an " out of characteristic feeling and urge" , with absolutely no seemingly reason, previous past patient similarity, or evidence, to have me take an Xray ( which mind u, I probably have had 500 xrays and MRI's from countless different specialists, hospitals, etc etc over the past 30 years-- all resulting with no issues found), but this time, bending backwards. She found that the bone at the base of my spine, the important one that stabilizes your spine, was broken! This broken bone, had several bone shards, that was stabbing my muscles and nerves, making the nerves going down both my legs excruciating. Bc this stabilizing bone broke,, two disc's above it,, literally shattered, also causing shards of bones to stab my muscles and nerves. I had had terrible back pain since I was about eight years old, but not to the degree of pure, concentrated crippling agony until I was about 30. I became hunched over, and had to use a cane or walker just to walk at all, but the pain was pure hell. NOTHING I did relieved it, even slightly! It was agony to walk, agony to stand, agony to sit, agony to lay down...there was no relief, there was no escape, there was NO BREAK!!! See, while this has been an 31 year affliction, I used to have breaks from the pain during the day. Currently, I have not had a break in over 7 years. For the past 7 years of this affliction, every single second, of every single moment, of every single day, I am in agony. I have not had a break from crippling pain in nearly a decade. The physical toll on ur body is inconceivable to those who have never physically felt it themselves, but the emotional toll is indescribable. My own family, (who have seen me literally lay in bed and pull out my own hair, from the seemingly perpetual affliction), even they don't even begin to understand it. And I praise God that they dont!!! I am ashamed to say, I have BEGGED and PLEADED God to end my life, rather spend another second in this hell. I wasn't living...no, not in years...I merely existed. I can never remember ever not believing and loving God and I cannot remember my age, when I became saved, but I do know that I was around 12 years old when i re-dedicated myself to Jesus. I have intently listened, even as a young child, to Dr. Charles Stanley, since I was about 8 years old. He was the ONLY Pastor that I felt spiritually fed from, KNOWING deep down, to the Core of my soul, to every fiber of my being, that this man is sincere, accurate, and ABSOLUTELY a man led byTHE LIVING GOD!
So, I could not understand or wrap my head around WHY God allowed this. Bc you see,, even in the beginning,, as hurtful and as catastrophic as it wasand still is, for me, I knew, that I KNEW, it was NOT a Satanic attack.I cannot explain how, only to say, that God could not have communicated it any clearer to me, if he stood at my side speaking audibly, it wouldn't have been any clearer, than how he placed it on my heart from the start, that this was not a Satanic attack. I NEVER, EVER had to wonder WHO this was from. I did ,however wreck my brain for a very long time, as to WHY, but never WHO. I do not wonder anymore. God was, and still is refining me. He is teaching me many, many, many lessons, that I'm embarrassed to say, I would have never sought God with such vigor, urgency, and COMPLETE AND UTTER DEPENDACY , upon the Lord. Now, don't misunderstand me, I have ALWAYS been a God-loving, God-fearing woman.....HOWEVER, I was a very unique and independent woman, who had left an abusive husband years ago, and I valued my individuality and independence above EVERYTHING ( and short of my son), above EVERYONE!! I respected, loved and feared God much too much, to deliberately make a promise that I had no intentions of keeping, so I NEVER, EVER considered giving God the reigns over my life. The past few years of this affliction,, God broke me. He allowed me to still have my precious son,, and he allowed me to still have both my parents ( THANK YOU HOLY, HOLY GOD, THANK YOU! GLORY IS YOUR NAME FATHER!), but he took everything else. I don't mean this figuratively, I mean he took it all away. God broke me. Now, he is refining me, then placing me in the fire, then refining me more, then placing me back in the fire, then refining more further.....and THANK GOD HE IS! I have galaxies to go, and this has been the most humbling and heart wrenching experience of my entire life( and I've lived through grief. Two different doctors once told me the exact same thing with different wording, but the exact same thing, and that was, even tho I am a young woman, it would take a very, very elderly person, living SEVERAL lifetimes, to equate the tragedy and grief i have experienced in my life), and even still, this experience has been the hardest. It hit me from every single direction, in every single aspect of my life. God knew EXACTLY how to get this independent-individuality loving woman's attention. God allowed my surgeon last year, to find a problem that countless others swore never even existed, for over 30 YEARS! Back pain i suffered for that 30+ years, is now gone....my back LITTERALLY feels better than it did when I was a child, even before a teenager! My hips were not helped at all, with the 2 surgeries, and they have only gotten worse. My neurosurgeonkeeps referring me to orthapedics...Orthopedics keep referring me to neurosurgery....meanwhile, I don't even know what to ask them to look for. It's incredibly nervy, sharp, feeling like acid burning- being poured into several, several wounds left by ice pick stabbing. I feel all this, at the exact same time, the bones feel like I have been clamped on both sides of my hips with huge c-Clamos, and they are crushing every single centimeter of my both sides of my hips, to absolutely dust powder. My doctor asked me last year, what do I like to do for fun, and I sat there, and I realized I suddenly became very confused. I couldn't remember. And when I realized this, sitting there in his office, I started to sob , and it was uncontrollable. It's very, very rare I allow others to see me weep, but I could not contain nor fight it. It was a hard, salty, mournful sob. There are times that ppl have a cry, but other rare times...the cry will have you, and that's what happened to me. I sat there weeping, bc I had been in crippling agony for so long, I couldn't remember what I did for fun, I couldn't remember what I was into or about, I couldn't even remember the last time I felt good,happy, excited, not even interested!!! That was one of the lowest moments of my life. I still cant answer any of those questions. God has not yet let me know if I am to suffer this affliction for the rest of my earthly life, or if he has placed a limitation upon it. Some days I am emotionally strong...and on those days He strengthens me to be able to thank him for this affliction, for with it, I am being molding into his Son's image. There are other days, I plead for him to cast it off, and from me, as far as the East is set from the West. I ask for all, even for any, that have read my post, that you please, please, pray for me.
Not that this cup pass me by, and that it may end...No. But to pray that he strengthens, sustains, encourages, comforts me, and that I whole-heartidly understand His will for my life....that he will lift me up from this pit of despair with His RIGHTOUES RIGHT HAND, and sets me upon high places, and ESTABLISHES me. Prayers that I may have wisdom and understanding of how He thinks, how He operates, how He works. Prayers that He shows me great and marvelous works...that He speaks to me...uses me.
I'm here Lord. I'm willing, Lord God. Im available....Im listening.

The best bible based televangelist on TV
Many times dark seasons are the seasons In which God is stripping us of most things and people because we chose these things/ people on our own, God had NO part of it. Then we sit back wondering why we never had PEACE with those things/ people. If you are in a dark season, God is stripping you in order to re- build your life. Stop fighting against the waves because you will cause the storm to linger longer. It will be HARD, it will feel unnatural BUT go with the flow and let go of YOUR control. He will give you more than you EVER had! He will restore everything you lost BUT THIS TIME he will be apart of it so it will last a lifetime and you will have PEACE with the new blessings. Please...do NOT give up!!!! This to shall pass...
Thank you. Many of us need this very much. But the problem is even if you want to go with the wave deciding not to fight against the wave, the onlookers would always push us to "do" our best not to sit idle.
@@joshyaj4317 Hey there!! Usually during this season, God will have us in isolation at some point. He knows people will attempt to discouage us. Temptation will be very heavy during this time. God will Usually start moving people away from us who will not go to the next level with us but few of these people will return after God us finish processing us. He needs us to SOLEY hear from him so he will eventually move all distractions including people 😊
@@kizzyrock Thank you. I am exactly in one of those isolation moments. Hope God will bring me out of this whirlwind and make me a testimony 🙏
@@joshyaj4317 He will DEFINITELY bring you out! Just do YOUR part by saying no to ALL temptation. God will be watching to see how much you trust him. Once you turn the temptation down, God will ALWAYS send an escape. If he has ended certain relationships, don't attempt to pick them back up. Some of these relationships will come back together in the next season IF it's part of God's plan. Most importantly, ask God to reveal to you the message in the storm. SEEK the message because every storm has a message and we must be STILL to hear the downloads. The storm will end much more sooner when we decide to stop resisting but decide to seek the message. You are equipped my friend! I believe in you!!! Your best season is up next!!!
@@kizzyrock Thank you again for those comforting words 🙏
One of the most powerful things for my life that Charles Stanley has said is “God never said you would understand. He just said TRUST ME.” ❤️🙏🏾

i need some prayers to stay away from negative videos on you tube ive always been a thriller/horror/ mystery lover , now i do wanna say i dont think watching a good mystery or thriller is bad however horror is bad as it has spirits attached to it alot of the times i find myself sometimes getting sucked into the rabbit hole horror called ARG videos most of them are so creepy and cryptic but its making me feeling negativity around me pray the Lord to keep me on track. thank you
Be very, very careful what you let in through your eyes. If you were to suffer a nervous breakdown or insomnia, those images will cause you a great deal of suffering. God allowed a devil to attack me because I spent too much time with the TV. I have suffered for two years because of hat attack, with many violent images haunting me in the night and taking away my sleep.
I'm standing on Gods word that my adult children will be delivered from drugs . It looks dark right now , but Hallelujah my God lives and wont lie. He will bring deliverance to my children. Praise You Father God . In Jesus name .

So needed this. Waiting for God for I know my redeemer lives 🙌😢
Please pray for me
Thank you Father God for leading me to this powerful message. I've been going through some darkness at my job. You are already fighting my battles. In Jesus Mighty name Amen!
First of all, Thank you so very much Dr. Stanley, for your Service to God, and to us. The Bible is very hard for me to understand, and you have been MONUMENTAL in helping me understand and grow. You explain each lesson with great detail, but never overwhelming. You don't just preach the "WHAT", but you explain the "WHY" and "HOW". So often , teachers, preachers, etc, etc,etc can talk the "WHAT", all day and all night long, but without the ,"WHY" and "HOW", what hope do we have of retaining and APPLYING it? I have been listening, not hearing, but listening to you, since I was about 8 years old. I'm 39 now. I listened to you during my preganacy, and my son, who is now 19 years old, has been listening ever since! Thank you so very much, may Holy God continue to bless u here on earth, but Woooooooooowwwwwwww!! The treasure the Lord God has set for u in heaven, I can't even begin to imagine the magnatude!
All that being said,
I too, have been wandering in a very dark, very uncertain valley.
Last April, I had an ALIF and Lower Lumbar Fusion 2 days apart. It corrected back pain that I've had since I was 8 years old. It took doctors until I was almost 38 years old ( I am currently 39 years old ), to even awknowledge I had an issue at all, let alone one that required 2 major surgeries. The only reason they found it this time, was bc the 900th surgeon I consulted with, had an " out of characteristic feeling and urge" , with absolutely no seemingly reason, previous past patient similarity, or evidence, to have me take an Xray ( which mind u, I probably have had 500 xrays and MRI's from countless different specialists, hospitals, etc etc over the past 30 years-- all resulting with no issues found), but this time, bending backwards. She found that the bone at the base of my spine, the important one that stabilizes your spine, was broken! This broken bone, had several bone shards, that was stabbing my muscles and nerves, making the nerves going down both my legs excruciating. Bc this stabilizing bone broke,, two disc's above it,, literally shattered, also causing shards of bones to stab my muscles and nerves. I had had terrible back pain since I was about eight years old, but not to the degree of pure, concentrated crippling agony until I was about 30. I became hunched over, and had to use a cane or walker just to walk at all, but the pain was pure hell. NOTHING I did relieved it, even slightly! It was agony to walk, agony to stand, agony to sit, agony to lay down...there was no relief, there was no escape, there was NO BREAK!!! See, while this has been an 31 year affliction, I used to have breaks from the pain during the day. Currently, I have not had a break in over 7 years. For the past 7 years of this affliction, every single second, of every single moment, of every single day, I am in agony. I have not had a break from crippling pain in nearly a decade. The physical toll on ur body is inconceivable to those who have never physically felt it themselves, but the emotional toll is indescribable. My own family, (who have seen me literally lay in bed and pull out my own hair, from the seemingly perpetual affliction), even they don't even begin to understand it. And I praise God that they dont!!! I am ashamed to say, I have BEGGED and PLEADED God to end my life, rather spend another second in this hell. I wasn't living...no, not in years...I merely existed. I can never remember ever not believing and loving God and I cannot remember my age, when I became saved, but I do know that I was around 12 years old when i re-dedicated myself to Jesus. I have intently listened, even as a young child, to Dr. Charles Stanley, since I was about 8 years old. He was the ONLY Pastor that I felt spiritually fed from, KNOWING deep down, to the Core of my soul, to every fiber of my being, that this man is sincere, accurate, and ABSOLUTELY a man led byTHE LIVING GOD!
So, I could not understand or wrap my head around WHY God allowed this. Bc you see,, even in the beginning,, as hurtful and as catastrophic as it wasand still is, for me, I knew, that I KNEW, it was NOT a Satanic attack.I cannot explain how, only to say, that God could not have communicated it any clearer to me, if he stood at my side speaking audibly, it wouldn't have been any clearer, than how he placed it on my heart from the start, that this was not a Satanic attack. I NEVER, EVER had to wonder WHO this was from. I did ,however wreck my brain for a very long time, as to WHY, but never WHO. I do not wonder anymore. God was, and still is refining me. He is teaching me many, many, many lessons, that I'm embarrassed to say, I would have never sought God with such vigor, urgency, and COMPLETE AND UTTER DEPENDACY , upon the Lord. Now, don't misunderstand me, I have ALWAYS been a God-loving, God-fearing woman.....HOWEVER, I was a very unique and independent woman, who had left an abusive husband years ago, and I valued my individuality and independence above EVERYTHING ( and short of my son), above EVERYONE!! I respected, loved and feared God much too much, to deliberately make a promise that I had no intentions of keeping, so I NEVER, EVER considered giving God the reigns over my life. The past few years of this affliction,, God broke me. He allowed me to still have my precious son,, and he allowed me to still have both my parents ( THANK YOU HOLY, HOLY GOD, THANK YOU! GLORY IS YOUR NAME FATHER!), but he took everything else. I don't mean this figuratively, I mean he took it all away. God broke me. Now, he is refining me, then placing me in the fire, then refining me more, then placing me back in the fire, then refining more further.....and THANK GOD HE IS! I have galaxies to go, and this has been the most humbling and heart wrenching experience of my entire life( and I've lived through grief. Two different doctors once told me the exact same thing with different wording, but the exact same thing, and that was, even tho I am a young woman, it would take a very, very elderly person, living SEVERAL lifetimes, to equate the tragedy and grief i have experienced in my life), and even still, this experience has been the hardest. It hit me from every single direction, in every single aspect of my life. God knew EXACTLY how to get this independent-individuality loving woman's attention. God allowed my surgeon last year, to find a problem that countless others swore never even existed, for over 30 YEARS! Back pain i suffered for that 30+ years, is now gone....my back LITTERALLY feels better than it did when I was a child, even before a teenager! My hips were not helped at all, with the 2 surgeries, and they have only gotten worse. My neurosurgeonkeeps referring me to orthapedics...Orthopedics keep referring me to neurosurgery....meanwhile, I don't even know what to ask them to look for. It's incredibly nervy, sharp, feeling like acid burning- being poured into several, several wounds left by ice pick stabbing. I feel all this, at the exact same time, the bones feel like I have been clamped on both sides of my hips with huge c-Clamos, and they are crushing every single centimeter of my both sides of my hips, to absolutely dust powder. My doctor asked me last year, what do I like to do for fun, and I sat there, and I realized I suddenly became very confused. I couldn't remember. And when I realized this, sitting there in his office, I started to sob , and it was uncontrollable. It's very, very rare I allow others to see me weep, but I could not contain nor fight it. It was a hard, salty, mournful sob. There are times that ppl have a cry, but other rare times...the cry will have you, and that's what happened to me. I sat there weeping, bc I had been in crippling agony for so long, I couldn't remember what I did for fun, I couldn't remember what I was into or about, I couldn't even remember the last time I felt good,happy, excited, not even interested!!! That was one of the lowest moments of my life. I still cant answer any of those questions. God has not yet let me know if I am to suffer this affliction for the rest of my earthly life, or if he has placed a limitation upon it. Some days I am emotionally strong...and on those days He strengthens me to be able to thank him for this affliction, for with it, I am being molding into his Son's image. There are other days, I plead for him to cast it off, and from me, as far as the East is set from the West. I ask for all, even for any, that have read my post, that you please, please, pray for me.
Not that this cup pass me by, and that it may end...No. But to pray that he strengthens, sustains, encourages, comforts me, and that I whole-heartidly understand His will for my life....that he will lift me up from this pit of despair with His RIGHTOUES RIGHT HAND, and sets me upon high places, and ESTABLISHES me. Prayers that I may have wisdom and understanding of how He thinks, how He operates, how He works. Prayers that He shows me great and marvelous works...that He speaks to me...uses me.
I'm here Lord. I'm willing, Lord God. Im available....Im listening.
I really felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in this message. It was meant for me to listen because I'm going thru some dark times. Anyone that's a christian please pray for me.
Dear Father God, thank you for always being faithful and loving us. Help us Lord to grow deeper in our faith day by day. Thank you for all our blessings. We praise your Holy name. Amen

He's Roaring on the inside

We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

Oh how I needed this message! I’ve been unemployed for over a year, fighting chronic pain, and sexual desires. I feel so hopeless!
I’m also struggling! Ugh, sometimes I feel like loneliness is gonna be the death of me.
@@Fabian7227 Me too! Loneliness is effecting so many believers in these times! Even amongst family we feel lonely because they are of the world. 😥 Sending you a hug🤗 for comfort, encouragement for strength and joy!!! May God Bless you in all your needs!!!
May God Bless you with strength, endurance and show you the way to end your unemployment!!! Read or listen to his word!!! Sometimes that is the first thing we throw aside when things go sideways. It's in the hard times that we need his word even more!!! I am one who made that mistake and are just days in to correcting my ways!!🙂
@@kellyanneree3252 thank you so much! ❤️
