Ray this was such a blessing to me! If anyone was a poster child for not telling people "come to Jesus and your life will be awesome" it's me. We've endured the most unreal challenges over the past few years. I have friends who say that if I wrote a book people would think it was fiction because what we've been through has been so exceptional! So many things... But I know God is good and it's his love, mercy and grace that has brought us this far. I am HIS and nothing and nobody can take me out of his hands.
Just what I needed today. My husband is facing the loss of his job. He is standing in the truth, as I am. We're praying and have our hope in Jesus, for we know His plans are greater than our own.
@@natashathielen2333 You are right, this is very important. And since I am born again, I never stopped reading and meditating on His word. This was different. The breakthrough came finally when our church had a meeting. They were praying in tongue for 7 hours that day. I was two hours there, because I have a little child. Shortly before the two hours were over I the Holy Spirit did something. I was shouting and praising the Lord like never before. This was sooooo beautiful ❤🥰 Thank you for your prayers dear brothers and sisters 💐
“Sometimes, you can do everything that Jesus tells you and still end up in a great deal of trouble anyway.” Amen! The goal is to faithfully serve Him. From mountain tops to the lowest valleys.
"When you forget to pray to him, he will pray for you" I felt the guilt after i heard this line and the words of God or the Bible never fails to humble us... Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for your grace and love towards us.
Pastor Jack Hibbs is my Pastor.. and he has truly been such a BLESSING to me.. ❤️ Thank you Lord for true Bible preaching men such as these.. 🙏💖 MUCH love and respect from Safford Arizona 🏜️
Jesus did not necessarily tell the disciples to leave right away..they made the decision to leave independently of him..they should have went to the mountain to pray 1st, too..they jumped the gun..or.. were off sides..they got themselves into trouble by not praying 1st..& by not following Christ completely..the 12 baskets of bread may have gotten soggy & fed to the fish instead..Judas must have thought that all of this was crazy..he was probably for waiting until the weather was clear before launching out on the lake..he was the only one who had common sense..just guessing...Peter & Andrew & James & John could not read the sky or the weather.
Amen! The disciples struggled all night in the storm, rather than praying. How often do we struggle in our fleshly, human efforts, becoming afraid, rather than take our struggles to God? Excellent reminder and admonition!
Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways.
It was like watching a great “movie”. I didn’t just read, but “saw” what was happening there. The first time I used this method of reading was when I read about the resurrection of Jesus and the empty tomb. I just imagined how all these people felt at that moment. Before and after... Great Sermon. Thank you.
I am so grateful and thankful to God because I really need to hear this message today. Thank you Ray, blessings to you and family. Peace in Christ Jesus 🙏❤️
“Where’s the guy who got us into the mess?” That line hit pretty hard, as I’m sure a lot of us struggle to follow Jesus as best we can but we inevitably end up in a world of hurt. And then we end up blaming God or our faith wavering.
What a wonderfully encouraging sermon❤ I will listen again and pass this one on to family and friends and listen again❤ thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing this. It is speaking to me as I move though storms that are overwhelming me. My son spoke to me this morning and this has reinforced what he said. Thank you for the blessing of encouragement, amen and amen.
Thanks for sharing, Ray. Great message. I now have another great channel (Crosspoint Church, Huntington Beach, CA) that I can watch to further my knowledge and deepen my relationship with Him.
Beautiful. Thanks, Ray. I’m struggling with fear. When I confess it, I hear a lot of reminders from “Christians”, that God doesn’t give us a Spirit of fear.
Fear is a hard one to avoid. As irrational as it is - we still feel it. It can come from our imagination and also the enemy can make trouble but any evil around you can be commanded to leave in the name of Jesus. I see people commenting that reply often to people who are struggling with fear and I find it, although true, it’s sometimes unhelpful to that person who is feeling afraid. I prefer the action of every time a wave of fear is about to hit me I call out to Jesus and ask for His peace beyond all understanding and to take my fear, throw it into the deepest darkest ocean and turn it into joy within me. If I am happy I don’t fear and His joy is the best! Another thing I find helps is to ask the Lord to help me to put my fear into perspective …what am I afraid of?… can it really hurt me?…. What is the worst that can happen? and then find some scriptures that answer. I google scriptures about fear sometimes because it will bring up a whole list and by the time I have finished reading them I feel stronger. Whatever happens though, like the pastor on the video says we give our fears to Jesus we look to Him to help us through that storm and calling out to Him in absolute trust is the best thing we can ever do because He is magnificent and He is all we need. I hope sharing how I deal with fear helps in some way. Keep talking to God 😊✝️🙌💕 God bless ✝️💕
May the spirit of fear be loosed away from you. With The Precious blood of Jesus Christ. God Will Give you. FREEDOM. & Don't worry about people's opinions, just focus on THE WORD (Jesus Christ). ❤❤❤ By His Stripes we are healed. Amen. ❤
@@SarahBearah2023 Actually, the blood of Christ is only intended to pay for our sin and cleanse our hearts of sin. Nothing else! People who try to use the blood for any other purpose are practicing mysticism, and it doesn't even work!
I think my heart has been hardened in a way too. I was born again not too long ago. Talk about the truth setting you free. Thank you living waters and more importantly thank you Dear Lord Jesus Christ Almighty.
God is always in control. I had a feeling to read this story in John today and didn't know if this that were the verses God wanted me to read today. Well now I am here listening about this in Mark 6 again. Halleluja! 🙌😅
Daily Prayer. Lord God, you nurture and sustain me with your life-giving word. Thank you for your invitation to come to you and receive your blessings of mercy and forgiveness. You are ever near, and your love fills me with joy. Amen.
Wow wow wow this is the best video I’ve heard❤ what a BLESSING TO HEAR ❤WOW JESUS I ORAISE YOU ALL POWERFUL LOVING AND AMAZING SAVIOR❤ I LOVE YOU SO MUCH KING JESUS 👑 ❤🙏✝️💜😘
Thank you Ray for sharing this. Praise God. The evangelical movement in America is teaching come to Jesus and " live your best life now" Jesus doesnt fix all of our earthly storms but he will give you peace through them. Hes refining us and sanctifying us through them. He wants us to depend on him alone. Not ourselves or other people. Sometimes it can feel like theres no way, but he always gives us a way. It doesnt always look like we think it should. God Bless you all.
Brother - you CAN (and should) KNOW [I know that I know that I know!] Read 1 John 5 (especially vs.13) REST in Him, His finished work. Do you confess w/ your mouth 'Jesus is LORD' and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the Dead? Then you. are. saved. Romans 10:9,10 Peace.
I constantly questioned my salvation when I attended a Calvinist church, although I did not know that's what it was at the time. God freed me and laid it on my heart to read His Word for myself. Will pray for you
It's a lie from the devil to keep you paralyzed in fear. I felt the same way for a long time. Then I read a passage that you're saved by grace and to have faith in the God who saved you. If you lack the faith and unbelief that our Savior has not forgiven you. Then you won't be saved because of unbelief and faith in Jesus. The devil lies and uses that lie on many people. Don't believe the lie!
@@toastededavis8626 I did too. Sometimes it just pops in my head what if?? It's the devil. Rebuke the devil and he will flee. In the name of Jesus Christ!!
Beautiful sermon and very helpful and reassuring. I like referring to the biblical stories as ‘accounts’ rather than ‘stories’ being they truly are historical. ❤
Thank you for sharing brother Ray, what a challenging and uplifting message that I needed to hear. I pray Jesus will continue to soften my heart, less of me and more of Him ❤

Absolutely amazing, thank you so much for sharing! WOW, thank you Jesus for what you've done to save a wretch like me. Praise God! I'm deeply moved by this act of mercy. Blessings xo
Ray, THANK YOU for sharing this sermon with us . . . You are so right . . , I have heard some great sermons . . . I have heard many good & popular preachers take artistic license on developing sermons from well known scripture . . . But this was masterfully woven from the NT to the OT & back to the NT again, teaching multiple heart endearing lessons - all while sticking to the absolute overall original message he intended, he brought it full circle - Powerful!!! I am so unworthy of such an AWESOME GOD . . . but THANK YOU GOD for sending us Your righteous, worthy, faithful Son as an example for us - I am still so unworthy of such an AWESOME GOD!!! THANK YOU, for loving me despite myself.
Great video prayers for you and yours all your helpers and their families and your critters too for supernatural protection peace and joy beyond understanding I humbly pray in the only way Jesus according to his will and for his glory amen
