I found some that where in my home and I researched how I should dispose of evil item's and It said to burn the item to ash, So those cardz sparked, and had a hard time to finish burning them up but thats no match for Gods power I began to pray and they where gone forever, we know one of the kids brought them in so watch your children whom have no idea the nightmare they are opening
My fiance left me about a week ago, and it has been one of the most difficult experiences in my life. Thank you, Pastor Levi for using your most painful moments to show me that I can look up to God during this time. This is rough, but I know that God is my comfort. Even when it hurts like hell, I will praise Him. Even when I have no song, I will praise Him. Even when it makes no sense to sing; louder then, I'll sing His praise.
I am going through something similar.. partner of close to 10 years ended things recently and in my pit, I only have Him and I am at His feet every moment washing His feet with my tears! only He can heal.. On He can restore the brokeness
I will pray for you my friend because I am in the same situation. Almost 10 years together has turned into 2 lonely ones. Keep Faith God will see us through.
I will pray for you Zachary . Keep me in prayer for the same also . Been waiting and praying that my husband would put effort into our marriage and fight for our covenant. Instead of ignoring me while separated.
Thank you so much! I am a 71-year-old believer who continues through the pain of having said goodbye to my wife of 42 years a year ago. This is a message that many need to hear. Praise be to our Father who ministers comfort in our deepest pit and turns it into a pulpit!
Hi I hurt for your lose I have been separated from my husband for over a year now and no chances of him coming back. The pain in the death of a marriage is said to be like the passing of our spouce as well. Prayers for healing.

My husband and I lost our son in September. It has been a month since he pasted. He was only 27 years old. These sermons of hope have really been exactly what I needed. Thanks so much. I really like this church.
Sending my deepest and most sincere thoughts and prayers to you and your family! I am so incredibly sorry for your loss… I pray the Lord gives you and your family the deepest inner peace that only the Lord can provide!
My heart goes out to you. I lost my brother in August and I feel im losing my mom with all this pain. Prayers to you 🙏 ♥️🌹 and any mother going through the grief of losing a child
I was not sure if I wanted to watch this but I am glad I did. Today I experienced one of the lows I have ever felt. I was borderline from becoming totally consumed by my pain and thinking about taking my own life. I felt totally alone and in a dark pit. I am a Christian and I have served God since I was a child but life has been tough and hard. Going through a painful divorce atm and it has been hard to stay strong. But this message has been a blessing to me and it gave me the strength to want to fight again. So I have decided to worship and turn my pain into a song that glorifies God and will cause the enemy to tremble. Thank you Pastor Levi!
My best and closest friend died 6 months ago. We used to get together every week to encourage one another in our faith and pray for the challenges we faced. I miss her so much, especially as so many other challenges have happened since she died. I was close to walking away from God thinking either he's not good or he doesn't exist. Then last week he reminded me of Peter saying, "to whom would we go. You have the words of eternal life." Lying in bed at 7.30 am this morning, listening to this message, I put my hand up. I haven't managed yet to reach the point of praising God in the pit but this message has helped me move towards that.
GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU … I Fully Understand .My best friend died a year ago .. We Leaned on , and Helped Each Other , All The Time .. Now no one … BUT Father GOD , Will Not Forsake Me … No Matter What it Looks Like Around Me … I Fully Hold My Hands up , best I Can , And Thank HIM , That She Was Saved , And Loved JESUS …… IF I Didn’t Know That , I would be so very upset … So Now I Talk To People, better , slower , and more often , in case I meet a seeker , THE HOLY SPIRIT , Can Use My Mouth , For His Words , To Talk Through, And it has happened, Repeatedly…So I Will Keep doing it … And Sharing About Our LORD , AND SAVIOR …JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY….Please LORD JESUS , REACH THROUGH , AND HOLD AND STRENGTHEN THEIR HEART …
Thank you, our son went to be with the Lord last December after a 3 year faith journey of battling a brain tumour. He had an unshakeable faith in Jesus. Hearing this message helps me to remember that I too must allow God to use my pain for His glory, and to reach others. God is good, always 🙏
Your sons story brings so much hope to me as I have tumors on my brain stem and cerebellum. Not only that but the tumor on my stem hemorrhaged. Sometimes it feels so isolating and my quality of life is bad. Hearing your sons faith .. it means everything. Clinging to Gods higher purpose in our suffering. Thank you God for this dear son who is still encouraging others for you.
@@jennifercrandall1586 I cannot imagine what you are going through and have to endure. I'm so sorry I am Sending you Prayers, Love and Hugs. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND HEAL YOUR BODY. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN AND AMEN 🙏 PRAYERS FOR YOU ALL 🙏
My son was shot in June, but God spared him, my Daddy passed away last Fri and now my youngest son is waiting on covid test results. This really touched me. Ive already listened to it twice today, shared it on fb, and sent it to 2 others. God bless you!
I’m really struggling with something and it feels a lot like despair. The political climate, the cultural climate, the pandemic climate, the isolation and divisive rhetoric…it’s taking it’s toll on people and relationships. I’m grieving for the loss of family unity with my adult children. It feels like I am not going to survive the relational loss of them. I’m in need of prayer 🙏
I hope things have improved … I relate strongly to what you’ve expressed..,, we must keep trusting the beautiful Lord, King, our God and Saviour…. This season has taken its toll on so many of us… we’re weary and broken … that makes us each targets … and when the family is decided and turn on one another (and on us who birthed them) it’s heart wrenching and sometimes makes me feel there’s no point or purpose continuing on… but that’s a fat lie! I also lost my life partner to suicide three years ago he was the most gentle soul.., wonderful man and in his pain turned to Jesus before taking his own life… (strong atheist prior) I long to be with him.,, snd with the Lord… however, my adult children need me.., to keep praying for them.., on all topics but especially their salvation… to keep planing seeds of Christ’s love and be here when, as this minister says, will go wrong… and a mum is needed … It’s my sacrifice to them because I no longer feel I can stay some days…. One day at a time in Jesus we can… w We can.,, Loved this message sent to me by a friend… have not heard of you before but I shall tune in again Thank God for the internet !!!!
Dear Julie: It's perfectly understandable that you feel that way. These may be the "perilous times'" the scriptures predicted would come. Jesus knew this all would happen. He gave us encouragement by reminding us that we belong to Him and to His kingdom. We are only sojourners in this world and our real citizenship is with Him in Heaven. These terrible things require our prayer and bold witness so that others may be saved, but they will continue because we are in the last stages of the battle that exists between our Father and the enemy. But Jesus told us "When you see these things, look up, for your redemption draws nigh." Not to be flippant or unfeeling, but the truth is the enemy wants us focused on the bad so that he can drag us down. I want to encourage you to look at everything you see as evidence that Jesus has told us the truth about these things, and He will bring us safely through it all. Let Him into your fears and sadness. He will help you weather this and even grow stronger in the face of it. I hope that helps. God bless you dear one. Judith
Jesus is my rock he’s the light of the world he is the truth I’m struggling lost my job due to the vaccine I’m a single mother I already have failing health but my faith in Jesus Christ is what gets me through he is the reason why I live thank you Jesus for always having my back and never a abandoning me I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills! But I know that Jesus will provide!!
Yes God will provide. I'm in a similar situation. Car accident led me to not being able to work, led to losing my job, led to fighting with insurance and the finance company and I feel lost. But yes, Jehovah Jireh will provide in the pit even when it gets scary and mixed up. God will be with you as he's with all of us. Through the grief, overwhelming sorrow and confusion. 1 day at a time. God bless
AngelaTiffanyRogers you don't have to know because "HE'S THE GREAT PHYSICIAN" JEHOVAH'S ROHPE' THE GREAT PROVIDER" AND WHEN you see no way HE IS THE WAY! KEEP FAITHING! DONT GIVE UP AND REMINDING HIM OF HIS PROMISES!
Walking through PTSD, the seemingly unrelenting pit. This message was powerful as I too, have often wondered about, struggled with, and started to believe the lie in suicidal ideation. BUT, my foundation has always been, even in the most painful days, God NEEDS broken people with specific struggles to shine in spite of their battle FOR others to see HOPE in the SAME situation. Specially and specifically equipped for His glory. The pain is no less, but the purpose explodes beyond our comprehension. Great message. Thank you for using your gift. T
Prayers as you shine ✨ through the tough days. Reading your comment encouraged Me. God does not waste a thing he is glorified even through our brokenness. 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻
I just lost my husband of 46 years and I miss him so much! I would love to have you pray for me and I pulled my back out trying to put garbage bag around garbage can. Thank you & your sermon was really encouraging ! Thank you, Lori
I recently lost my dog of 10 years October 11, 2021. She was our baby. She was their through many things in our life, good and not so good of times. I’m having a ruff time dealing with her death. I woke at 4am this morning and got on you tube, I came across your “ WHEN LIFE HURTS LIKE HELL” sermon. Thank You for speaking to my heart. Amen
Dear Pam50315: A loss of a loved one is a loss of a loved one. I'm sorry your furbaby passed away. It leaves such a void. I hope you sense God's comfort as you grieve. He loves you. Judith
Thank you for sharing this it really hit the heart!my son at 19 killed his friend horrible things he did I can’t repeat that was in 2010 at 19went to prison where he came to know Jesus he died at 25 years old God took him home which I am thankful prison was horrible not just for him but my family too!!! I have known Jesus most my life but when my son died I feel like I died too I have stopped living pretty much shut people my church all away how many years later I am so want to start feeling again I want to feel joy to know I have a purpose dont know what but this message gave me hope thank you 🙏 God bless ❤️
Yes, I’ve learned this too … my husband passed 2 months ago … worship and thanksgivings is giving me the peace and comfort I need to carry on for my daughter.
I have struggled with deep and relentless mental/emotional pain my entire life; I pray to Jesus constantly just to be able to work, get through my day, and find some semblance of peace in my own mind and heart. Jesus is Lord and he will bring you healing. Whoever reads this, know that you are not alone, and that the Lord Jesus’ Kingdom is there for us all. Rely on Him, when you fall grab hold of Him, when others betray you and hurt you… TRUST IN HIM. Thank you, Pastor Levi and Fresh Life Church. I was at Passion 2016 when I first heard your story, ( I was a new believer then) later I read your book. You, and others, have helped me so much in my walk with the Lord Jesus and though I am shattered, HE gives me the strength and hope to move forward.
Thank you so much for your message. I was feeling so empty and worthless to God. But, your message made me realize God has a plan in my pain. And I chose to worship Him right now in my deep depression. ❤️
Great Word! I am a pastor in western Kentucky, my Mother passed away Oct. 11 from Covid. I preached her funeral on 14th and so many asked how I could get up and preach a message about Mom the way I did and give an alter call at the end. I tried to explain to them that God is God in every circumstance and that our strength comes from Him. I was wanting to expand on this topic more. Then this morning I happen to just find your message( Holy Spirit). I will be preaching these to my congregation today! Thanks for Sharing it is a sure word for He's people! Keep up the God work!
Thanking the Lord for this message, Pastor Levi. Perfect timing for this very moment in my life. I'm going through a storm and it hurts like hell but I look to my Lord, knowing that He is right here with me and I can trust in Him to work it all out for our good. He is God and I trust HIM.
Profound* Thank you Jesus for bringing this man Levi into my life today. I went directly to this video and I knew there was a message inside for me. I needed this. To the deepest parts of my soul that are being crushed, I needed to hear the message God was sending. Thank you for helping him to bring his grief and pain to us so that we might begin to heal as well. I pray for Levi. For his pain, shame, guilt that may have hushed to a whisper now, tore him apart yesterday. Thank you for having mercy on Levi and his family. For opening your arms, stabilizing. Bringing your love to the brokenhearted. I know you walk beside all of us while going through pain but it still hurts like hell. My broken heart could not understand why You would put us through such torment; it felt like a punishment. But again you say, "lean not unto your own understanding." I have learned on my walk with You it is not for us to know where You are taking us, what roads we will travel. Even with this pain that surpasses all understanding, there you are. Our protector. Heavenly Father. Thank you for taking all of this darkness from our lives so that we may prosper and find peace. Thank you for helping us to fight these battles. Without you we are nothing. Thank you for loving us enough to promote our lives even in these darkest of days. For Levi, for you, and for me, I pray. Thank you for giving us the courage to overcome these trials, even in the midst of our weaknesses. There you were, listening to our cries of despair and holding us all the while; our tears became your tears. My heart breaks for Levi, for his struggle, yet equally rejoices that he has found the way through the hardest of times with Jesus by his side and he is prospering. Today I see painful times as part of your plan for us. So that You, our God, may humble, prosper, and give us purpose. Leading us to victories we never thought possible. Jesus, you walk beside us along narrow paths, the flesh still banging at the door. It didn't matter how many times I stumbled there you were. Even when I fell onto the wide path to satisfy my fleshly needs, there you were. I don't deserve you, Lord. May you continue to provide us with all of the tools we need to stay on the narrow path and soothe our cravings and desires, for we cannot do this without you. Thank you for helping us to keep seeking you even when life hurts, tumbles, and falls. That is why you sent Levi down this path. For us who suffer and can't find the way to you. Levi, now, through your glory God, leads others to God's unconditional promises and his unconditional love, but you already knew that. We understand now. Look at the masses who follow Levi. All the lives he is saving, the people he brought to the feet of Jesus. Thank you for bringing him here. To this earth, this generation, and for his message today. In your heavenly name, the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen Many blessings to all
Thank you for your message. Exactly what I needed for today. It's one of those days where I'm tired of the pain and suffering on this earth. Praising God in the midst of my trials is what I can do, what I'm going to choose to do. Feeling more encouraged after hearing your message. Thank you
My husband is leaving me. He feels unfixable due to trauma and depression and alcoholism and being constantly abandoned by the very people who were supposed to love and support him. This hurts like hell. Its not for another woman its for his absolute lack of hope that he deserves connection, love and healing. I am believing for radical transformation and radical healing for his deep wounds. I will praise until my God delivers!! I will worship until it comes to pass!!
God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give away and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.psalm 46:1,2
Many times ive been in that dark place. I finally realized that unforgiveness was at the root of my problems. When I forgave others for some truly horrific acts the Light came back on and now I see what God has been doing through the pain. No they didnt deserve my forgiveness but I did it for me not them. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past. Forgiveness doesnt mean that what the other person did is now ok. It means I’m not living under the power it has had over me.
Thank you for posting your reply. I haven't listened to the sermon yet, but what you said helped me to understand forgiveness in a greater way. I know God loves you and blesses you. A big hug from Houston, Texas.
Thank you for this amazing message. I have shared this series with people who have found themselves in a pit. These words have spoken to my heart and help me continue through life’s struggles. My husband is 1 1/2 yrs sober and i believe for his sobriety. Please pray for my children, Trey, Memphis and Rivaley and that their mental wounds heal and be used for Gods glory.. I know God has set them for this season and he will direct their path.
Thank you for your sermon. I lost my sweet husband 6 months ago and this is exactly what I needed to hear. I just want God to use my husbands testimony to help lead others to Jesus.
When I saw the title to this sermon, I kept putting it off because I didn't feel like listening to it. Glad I finally came around to it because it was exactly what I needed today.
I am in the middle of a marriage that only God could fix. Right now it hurts like hell. I needed this very sermon. God is up to something and I want to worship him for getting us this far. I've prayed for generational curses to be broken. May God be glorified in the miracle that He will perform.
Thank you so much Levi! I am so blessed by the way God speaks through you. I have endured multiple losses this year. My heart hurts like nothing I can express. I am reading Jenny's book and then on to yours. Please pray God eases this pain .
I looked up Pastor Levi Lusko after hearing his “Moments of Encouragement” on K-LOVE. I fell away from the Catholic Church when their atrocities were revealed, but have always been a Christian. Your sermons have taught me more in recent years about Scripture than I learned in decades of weekly attendance and service. Thank you for being a beacon of light and hope in a world that can seem so dark!
You spoke to me percution is my life, Zephaniah 3:17The Lord your God in the midst of you is mighty He will Save He will rejoice over you with Joy He will rest in His Love He will Joy over you with Singing,💔➕❤️🙏 lost my daughter Nicole Dec 5 last year then my mom and my house, Love you ❤️
This Word. I had a break down Saturday night. I was so frustrated and couldn’t figure out why I was serving God and just ready to give up. I had 3 things to do Sunday that would be serving others in addition to my ministry I lead. I showed up. I cried my way through Sunday but I showed up. It hurt like hell and I was angry and I didn’t know why I showed up or why it was important in my spirit to keep serving, but this message … it was for me. I can’t wait to visit one day to personally hand Pastor Levi a thank you card for all the times he brought a Word to me directly from God and changed my life. Thank you, Pastor, for helping me through a season that hurts like hell with this series and Word.
Please pray for me and my Family I lost my Husband in May And my Son in August he was 45 years old young man Pastor you are truly a blessing to me thank you for being obedient to the lord my people are going to need you
I can relate to what you said about "worshiping even when you hurt like hell..." I had been bedridden because of an old injury that years of treatment and addiction to narcotic pain pills left me unable to get to the bathroom or dress myself on my own. I was in suffocating pain 24/7!! I had bargained with God saying, "God, do You know how much wonderful Glory will be brought to You? Everyone knows how bad off I am....If You would just touch me I would be healed like that! Everyone would know it to be a miracle from You!!" Then I eventually said, "God, please let me die, if You are not going to heal me....please take my life..." Finally I came to a place where I could say, "God, no matter what, even if I have to live like this until I die, I will praise You God til the end of my life!!" That week God made it so that I had medical insurance and within three months I had my first of two surgeries to replace both my hips😀🙌 It was only when I came to that place God was waiting for me to get to that, He knew that's what was needed in my heart.... I would get❤ the surgeries I so badly needed, but I wasn't ready for them until I got to that point! Now, there is no way I could ever have enjoyed my life this much without getting to that place in my heart that God brought me to❤ Hallelujah He is so good !!! I really like the way you discussed reasons for God allowing us to go through very hard times in order for Him to show what we really need !! God bless you❤
Dear Lynn: I have heard that depression is anger turned inward. Don't be afraid, ask our Father to show you what you are angry about. He will gently lead you deep into whatever pain lies under the anger and He will be your Savior in that very pain. Let Him do this for you, He loves you so very much. Much love, Judith
I lost my grandfather a little over a month ago and it hurts like hell. Tomorrow I'm heading to serve at church and God is the only one I look to to get me through this. This message came exactly when I needed it, now as I'm preparing for his memorial, all the hurt flooded back again just like the day I lost him. Through all this, I have hope in the eternal life through Jesus and that I'll see him again someday in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
I'm going through the worst season of my life. On 12/26/22 my wife said to me, " I don't know if I love you anymore". Soon I realized that nothing works for me anymore. Alcohol, drugs, TV, porn, lust, sex, food etc...nothing at all. I had to turn to God all the way. Started praying every day, reading the bible every day and worshipping in my car on the way to work every day. Over 4 months later and my wife still doesn't know what she wants but I'm getting better because I'm learning how to rely on him more than her. A big step for me. There are some days I get up and don't want to live anymore. The hurt and anxiety is a living hell for me. This video gives me so much encouragement and hope. It reminds me what I have to live for and to place my trust in Jesus alone. Such a relief to be reminded I am not alone.
I shall do good by thanking my good god in arvance for his healing blessing forgiveness and promises over our lifes and r and dad. And my life and all supports for the good of health and all kids . Alessia lynn Burch here
Nurturing hope. Your choice. Mind control is doable, so do it. Deliberately choose hopeful words for SELF-TALK. That's God at work in you. Try it sincerely many times a day for a month. It's simple and easy and effective. God rules! God rocks!
Please pray that I would discover what God wants me to do with this pain. I believe there is a purpose, but I can't see it. Thanks for the words. For now I will praise, and praise, and praise. Then trust that He will work it all out.
Dear Teresa: May I step into your story just a little? I want to assure you, there is NOTHING for you to do with your pain except exactly what you are doing. Your Heavenly Father knows what to do, and He will be faithful to do it. Just keep casting all your cares on Him as you are doing. He will bring the transformation and you will be amazed at His goodness. Much love, Judith
Please pray for me - going thru a difficult period - needing desperately to surrender it all to Jesus and completely trust HIM - in this world - bones will still break, hearts will still break , but in the end the “light” will overcome the darkness. Jesus spoke this to someone in The Chosen - giving us all hope knowing HE will overcome and will get us thru for HE is the one and only way, HE is the “light!” ….. Thank you for your prayers…❤️🙏🏻
PS Levi you have no idea how much your sermons change my life, I am walking through the darkest season but I'm worshipping, God is carrying me, I will not give up, every day I listen all day to your teaching, God created the greatest preacher with you, one day I'll thankyou in heaven 🌈 Kylie Perth Australia
I’ve recently started following and worshipping with you and every week you touch on something happening in or around my life. I would like to get some prayers for my relationship with my son and his fiancée. We had a falling out a year and a half ago and although I’ve tried to work things out with them we just seem to be at a standstill. My son does text and occasionally will call, but his fiancé just won’t forgive and move on. They have a young daughter ( she’ll be 2 in April) and I also haven’t been able to see her. It hurts so much to not be a part of their lives. I pray all the time about this, but I’m thinking I could use some help. Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻
Getting better day by day, but the loss of my brother Mark, March 2021, and the loss of my husband, July 2021 both for different reasons. I keep going and strive to stay close and draw near to God even though, with the pain, I want to have comfort. The counselor said I was pretty far. A lot of times in life I feel like I am being tested, but this is life and I go forward because of God. God helps me through it all. I pray for God's help and God's strength to help me to keep going strong.
Hi I have stumbled over your messages on here. So grateful. Thankyou. I pray that your church and message would continue to bring this world to know Jesus Christ and I also pray for God's help to be a bright shining light encouraging light also so that I too can help point this world to Jesus. I ask for your forgiveness God for times when I have failed to shine your light because of the struggles. May I please Lord be equipped with your power and knowing that you are always with me and be more concerned about doing your will on this earth shining light here. Amen.
I wonder if all those who interpreted this verse are seeing this slave girl as God would want her to be seen. Your interpretation isn't as harsh as some, but I wonder if she and her story is being accurately portrayed. This was a young girl. I wonder how you think "she" was responsible for "opening herself up" to evil in the world? She was also a slave girl, in a misogynist culture owned by obviously ruthless men. Why do you really think she was yelling for the apostles attention? Could it be that God was answering her prayers for freedom too? Who else could have helped her as the Apostles did? Why don't you bring to attention that the Apostles saved her too??? And because of it, many more were saved during that prison experience. Acts 16:16 and the un-named slave girl is probably one of the most misunderstood stories in the Bible. I would love to see it interpreted thru the eyes of Jesus and not the superstitions of men. Acts 16:16 the story of the Vilified Victim.
I'm trying everything. I pray, I read the scripture, I went on a fast, I'm waiting, I'm hoping, I'm trying to cast all what hurts on Jesus but nothing Changes and it feels like I'm alone in this. The thing that I thought God spoke to my heart is not coming through and I'm just stuck. I don't know what this situation is for. I don't know wehen things will be better. I just don't know what to do. I'm totally lost at the age of 34 and I simply don't want to have to take this anymore. Nothing gets better. No matter how much I search the Lord. 😞
Thank you for this... I was laid off from my job on Oct 14 of this year, my 31 yr. old daughter and my 2 grandchildren had moved in 2 days before so I could help her get back on her feet, then 4 days later my fiancé' died suddenly. The pain has been unbearable, and soon my grief was taken over by anger. I felt I had nothing left to give anyone, no love, no compassion, no comfort, no job or income to help anyone, and for the first time in my life I needed help, and no one seemed to care. I could not even pray, as the anger and pain had taken over. I know that there are people who have experienced much more pain worse than this, but I felt my life was over. At 61 years of age, I was at the end of my rope and wanted to give up as the pain was too much to bear. But this 1 sermon has changed everything, and I am so thankful for this and now know what assignment God has for me. I will praise God in my grief even if it hurts like hell. Thanks again, for this inspiring beautiful message.
Wonderful words of encouragement! I lift many to the Lord, not just myself. We all go through knock us to our knees times not understanding why. I encourage everyone to stay the path, walk my faith when you can't see. God has a plan. You may not see it for many years, but believe He has a plan to use you!
I just wish Jesus would be any of these things. How do you praise God when it has hurt like Hell for 30 years? How can you call Him a promise keeper, when all He has done is break every promise to you? How do you call Him good when all He does is torment you? How can you praise the jerk who created you against your will and forced this life on you just to hurt you for all of eternity? How do you praise God when all you have even known Him to be is a cruel and selfish master who has rejected you in every conceivable way? What do you do when it’s gone on for so long that there is literally no possible form of hope left? Even the thought of eternal life fills me with nothing but utter despair
I stumbled up on this message and it was exactly what I needed. I'm hurting due to a family member who took her own life a few weeks ago. I thank God for allowing me to hear this message. 🙏
Our third daughter was diagnosed with 5 heart defects. I was 44. The doctors told us to abort. We refused. She was born and her 1st open Geary surgery 3 days later. And we were surprised that she also had Down syndrome. I was in seminary when God turned our lives in a different direction which hurt. She went on to have 5 more open heart surgeries and a stroke. I was astounded by how much God has taught us through her. Our little Erin has taught us unconditional love and how to forgive.
Loved your service xo much. What times are you o . Is there an e-mail address I could see sermons you have written to feed my spirit. Thank you. Arlene Rice

I have a 38 year old daughter who disappeared. It's been 2 years since I've heard from her. She was in Santa Fe New Mexico,and addicted to heroine and pain killers. Please pray for her and me too. I often think she might not be alive!
Keep praying for your daughters return and salvation, your prayers have no expiry date and no boundaries. You serve the Almighty God who loves you and your daughter unconditionally ❤
This message has transformed my life as a whole. I’m a 25 yr old man still living at home & I’ve just been so lost as to what to do with my life; not to mention severe depression & feelings of hopelessness. This year has probably been one of the worst years of my life and I’ve been running away from God and not towards him. I know it was divine destiny that I clicked on this video in my recommended feed. It is so helpful to know all of us are going through things in life but when it hurts like hell, our response can only be worship.
I just ripped up my tarot cards today, this literally resonates with me so much
God Bless you and bring beautiful salvation to you and your family.
Godless u fuels! So 👏
You really nagdabbdit@
i’m so proud of you! congratulations sister 🥰
I found some that where in my home and I researched how I should dispose of evil item's and It said to burn the item to ash, So those cardz sparked, and had a hard time to finish burning them up but thats no match for Gods power I began to pray and they where gone forever, we know one of the kids brought them in so watch your children whom have no idea the nightmare they are opening
My fiance left me about a week ago, and it has been one of the most difficult experiences in my life. Thank you, Pastor Levi for using your most painful moments to show me that I can look up to God during this time. This is rough, but I know that God is my comfort. Even when it hurts like hell, I will praise Him. Even when I have no song, I will praise Him. Even when it makes no sense to sing; louder then, I'll sing His praise.
Continue to keep the faith Zachary 🙏 may God bless you and bring you peace and strength as He walks with you through this situation
Praying for you Zachery
I am going through something similar.. partner of close to 10 years ended things recently and in my pit, I only have Him and I am at His feet every moment washing His feet with my tears! only He can heal.. On He can restore the brokeness
I will pray for you my friend because I am in the same situation. Almost 10 years together has turned into 2 lonely ones. Keep Faith God will see us through.
I will pray for you Zachary . Keep me in prayer for the same also . Been waiting and praying that my husband would put effort into our marriage and fight for our covenant. Instead of ignoring me while separated.
Thank you so much! I am a 71-year-old believer who continues through the pain of having said goodbye to my wife of 42 years a year ago. This is a message that many need to hear. Praise be to our Father who ministers comfort in our deepest pit and turns it into a pulpit!
Amen! Sorry for Your loss brother, May God be with You throughout the rest of Your Days! God bless!
@@jonathanstevenson9223 Thank you, brother. He is so kind to me!
Hi I hurt for your lose I have been separated from my husband for over a year now and no chances of him coming back. The pain in the death of a marriage is said to be like the passing of our spouce as well. Prayers for healing.
@@wendydudden9853 Sending prayers and love. Are you building you and finding resources, like Marriage Helper, or The Marriage Foundation, who teach how to manage? ♥️
@@hollymaxwellboydell no am on my own now my husband left me
My husband and I lost our son in September. It has been a month since he pasted. He was only 27 years old. These sermons of hope have really been exactly what I needed. Thanks so much. I really like this church.
God bless you 🙏 from a Mum going through the same loss.
Sending my deepest and most sincere thoughts and prayers to you and your family! I am so incredibly sorry for your loss… I pray the Lord gives you and your family the deepest inner peace that only the Lord can provide!
My heart goes out to you. I lost my brother in August and I feel im losing my mom with all this pain. Prayers to you 🙏 ♥️🌹 and any mother going through the grief of losing a child
... the most powerful sermon I've ever been BLESSED with. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.♡♡♡
Ugh, how hard, I'm so very sorry for your loss! May God hold you and your loved ones so close during this time of grief!
I was not sure if I wanted to watch this but I am glad I did. Today I experienced one of the lows I have ever felt. I was borderline from becoming totally consumed by my pain and thinking about taking my own life. I felt totally alone and in a dark pit. I am a Christian and I have served God since I was a child but life has been tough and hard. Going through a painful divorce atm and it has been hard to stay strong. But this message has been a blessing to me and it gave me the strength to want to fight again. So I have decided to worship and turn my pain into a song that glorifies God and will cause the enemy to tremble. Thank you Pastor Levi!
My best and closest friend died 6 months ago. We used to get together every week to encourage one another in our faith and pray for the challenges we faced. I miss her so much, especially as so many other challenges have happened since she died. I was close to walking away from God thinking either he's not good or he doesn't exist. Then last week he reminded me of Peter saying, "to whom would we go. You have the words of eternal life." Lying in bed at 7.30 am this morning, listening to this message, I put my hand up. I haven't managed yet to reach the point of praising God in the pit but this message has helped me move towards that.
Prayers for you. ✝️🙏
GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU … I Fully Understand .My best friend died a year ago .. We Leaned on , and Helped Each Other , All The Time ..

Thank you, our son went to be with the Lord last December after a 3 year faith journey of battling a brain tumour. He had an unshakeable faith in Jesus. Hearing this message helps me to remember that I too must allow God to use my pain for His glory, and to reach others. God is good, always 🙏
Bless your heart Ruth 💕 may God comfort you and bring you rest.
Your sons story brings so much hope to me as I have tumors on my brain stem and cerebellum. Not only that but the tumor on my stem hemorrhaged. Sometimes it feels so isolating and my quality of life is bad. Hearing your sons faith .. it means everything. Clinging to Gods higher purpose in our suffering. Thank you God for this dear son who is still encouraging others for you.

@@stephaniesimons4882 Amen!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine, prayers coming from another mother. ❤️😀
You’ve helped me realize that Jesus never leaves us. I can do anything through Christ.
My son was shot in June, but God spared him, my Daddy passed away last Fri and now my youngest son is waiting on covid test results. This really touched me. Ive already listened to it twice today, shared it on fb, and sent it to 2 others. God bless you!
I’m really struggling with something and it feels a lot like despair.
The political climate, the cultural climate, the pandemic climate, the isolation and divisive rhetoric…it’s taking it’s toll on people and relationships.
I’m grieving for the loss of family unity with my adult children. It feels like I am not going to survive the relational loss of them.
I’m in need of prayer 🙏
I praying for you Julie. Stay close to Gods word. He’s coming soon. Praise God!
I hope things have improved … I relate strongly to what you’ve expressed..,, we must keep trusting the beautiful Lord, King, our God and Saviour…. This season has taken its toll on so many of us… we’re weary and broken … that makes us each targets … and when the family is decided and turn on one another (and on us who birthed them) it’s heart wrenching and sometimes makes me feel there’s no point or purpose continuing on… but that’s a fat lie!
I also lost my life partner to suicide three years ago he was the most gentle soul.., wonderful man and in his pain turned to Jesus before taking his own life… (strong atheist prior) I long to be with him.,, snd with the Lord… however, my adult children need me.., to keep praying for them.., on all topics but especially their salvation… to keep planing seeds of Christ’s love and be here when, as this minister says, will go wrong… and a mum is needed …
It’s my sacrifice to them because I no longer feel I can stay some days….
One day at a time in Jesus we can… w
We can.,,
Loved this message sent to me by a friend… have not heard of you before but I shall tune in again
Thank God for the internet !!!!
Dear Julie: It's perfectly understandable that you feel that way. These may be the "perilous times'" the scriptures predicted would come. Jesus knew this all would happen. He gave us encouragement by reminding us that we belong to Him and to His kingdom. We are only sojourners in this world and our real citizenship is with Him in Heaven. These terrible things require our prayer and bold witness so that others may be saved, but they will continue because we are in the last stages of the battle that exists between our Father and the enemy. But Jesus told us "When you see these things, look up, for your redemption draws nigh." Not to be flippant or unfeeling, but the truth is the enemy wants us focused on the bad so that he can drag us down. I want to encourage you to look at everything you see as evidence that Jesus has told us the truth about these things, and He will bring us safely through it all. Let Him into your fears and sadness. He will help you weather this and even grow stronger in the face of it. I hope that helps. God bless you dear one. Judith
Jesus is my rock he’s the light of the world he is the truth I’m struggling lost my job due to the vaccine I’m a single mother I already have failing health but my faith in Jesus Christ is what gets me through he is the reason why I live thank you Jesus for always having my back and never a abandoning me I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills! But I know that Jesus will provide!!
There are christian law firms that will fight for your right not to get the vaccine for religion reasons and help you get your job back.
Bless you dear mamma. GOD Sees you❤
God Is faithful. Jehovah - Jireh the Lord will provide. 🙏🏻
Yes God will provide. I'm in a similar situation. Car accident led me to not being able to work, led to losing my job, led to fighting with insurance and the finance company and I feel lost. But yes, Jehovah Jireh will provide in the pit even when it gets scary and mixed up. God will be with you as he's with all of us. Through the grief, overwhelming sorrow and confusion. 1 day at a time. God bless
AngelaTiffanyRogers you don't have to know because "HE'S THE GREAT PHYSICIAN" JEHOVAH'S ROHPE' THE GREAT PROVIDER" AND WHEN you see no way HE IS THE WAY! KEEP FAITHING! DONT GIVE UP AND REMINDING HIM OF HIS PROMISES!
God please rain down collateral blessings on my child. Anything you have for me give it to my child
Walking through PTSD, the seemingly unrelenting pit. This message was powerful as I too, have often wondered about, struggled with, and started to believe the lie in suicidal ideation. BUT, my foundation has always been, even in the most painful days, God NEEDS broken people with specific struggles to shine in spite of their battle FOR others to see HOPE in the SAME situation. Specially and specifically equipped for His glory. The pain is no less, but the purpose explodes beyond our comprehension. Great message. Thank you for using your gift. T
Prayers as you shine ✨ through the tough days. Reading your comment encouraged Me. God does not waste a thing he is glorified even through our brokenness. 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻
I just lost my husband of 46 years and I miss him so much! I would love to have you pray for me and I pulled my back out trying to put garbage bag around garbage can. Thank you & your sermon was really encouraging ! Thank you, Lori
Please pray for my grandson who is suffering.
Vicki- I prayed for your grandson this morning.
@@PTSDThroughtheDarkness thank you so much!
I recently lost my dog of 10 years October 11, 2021. She was our baby. She was their through many things in our life, good and not so good of times.
I’m having a ruff time dealing with her death.
I woke at 4am this morning and got on you tube, I came across your “ WHEN LIFE HURTS LIKE HELL” sermon.
Thank You for speaking to my heart. Amen
Dear Pam50315: A loss of a loved one is a loss of a loved one. I'm sorry your furbaby passed away. It leaves such a void. I hope you sense God's comfort as you grieve. He loves you. Judith
Thank you for sharing this it really hit the heart!my son at 19 killed his friend horrible things he did I can’t repeat that was in 2010 at 19went to prison where he came to know Jesus he died at 25 years old God took him home which I am thankful prison was horrible not just for him but my family too!!! I have known Jesus most my life but when my son died I feel like I died too I have stopped living pretty much shut people my church all away how many years later I am so want to start feeling again I want to feel joy to know I have a purpose dont know what but this message gave me hope thank you 🙏 God bless ❤️
I lost my husband suddenly in Feb 2018. I learned that worship is the only way to walk through grief. Wonderful message.
Yes, I’ve learned this too … my husband passed 2 months ago … worship and thanksgivings is giving me the peace and comfort I need to carry on for my daughter.
I have struggled with deep and relentless mental/emotional pain my entire life; I pray to Jesus constantly just to be able to work, get through my day, and find some semblance of peace in my own mind and heart. Jesus is Lord and he will bring you healing. Whoever reads this, know that you are not alone, and that the Lord Jesus’ Kingdom is there for us all. Rely on Him, when you fall grab hold of Him, when others betray you and hurt you… TRUST IN HIM. Thank you, Pastor Levi and Fresh Life Church. I was at Passion 2016 when I first heard your story, ( I was a new believer then) later I read your book. You, and others, have helped me so much in my walk with the Lord Jesus and though I am shattered, HE gives me the strength and hope to move forward.
I need prayer. Mother of 3 with chronic pain. I'm in the deepest pit of my life for a year and a half. I don't see the light in my future.
Thank you so much for your message. I was feeling so empty and worthless to God. But, your message made me realize God has a plan in my pain. And I chose to worship Him right now in my deep depression. ❤️
Great Word! I am a pastor in western Kentucky, my Mother passed away Oct. 11 from Covid. I preached her funeral on 14th and so many asked how I could get up and preach a message about Mom the way I did and give an alter call at the end. I tried to explain to them that God is God in every circumstance and that our strength comes from Him. I was wanting to expand on this topic more. Then this morning I happen to just find your message( Holy Spirit). I will be preaching these to my congregation today! Thanks for Sharing it is a sure word for He's people! Keep up the God work!
Appreciate this message. It really blessed me and helped me to shift my thinking. Thank you
Thank you for this sermon, I feel like I live this title and worship through hell every day living without my 2 children I miss so much..
Thanking the Lord for this message, Pastor Levi. Perfect timing for this very moment in my life. I'm going through a storm and it hurts like hell but I look to my Lord, knowing that He is right here with me and I can trust in Him to work it all out for our good. He is God and I trust HIM.

Thank you Jesus for bringing this man Levi into my life today. I went directly to this video and I knew there was a message inside for me. I needed this. To the deepest parts of my soul that are being crushed, I needed to hear the message God was sending. Thank you for helping him to bring his grief and pain to us so that we might begin to heal as well. I pray for Levi. For his pain, shame, guilt that may have hushed to a whisper now, tore him apart yesterday. Thank you for having mercy on Levi and his family. For opening your arms, stabilizing. Bringing your love to the brokenhearted. I know you walk beside all of us while going through pain but it still hurts like hell. My broken heart could not understand why You would put us through such torment; it felt like a punishment. But again you say, "lean not unto your own understanding." I have learned on my walk with You it is not for us to know where You are taking us, what roads we will travel. Even with this pain that surpasses all understanding, there you are. Our protector. Heavenly Father. Thank you for taking all of this darkness from our lives so that we may prosper and find peace. Thank you for helping us to fight these battles. Without you we are nothing. Thank you for loving us enough to promote our lives even in these darkest of days. For Levi, for you, and for me, I pray. Thank you for giving us the courage to overcome these trials, even in the midst of our weaknesses. There you were, listening to our cries of despair and holding us all the while; our tears became your tears. My heart breaks for Levi, for his struggle, yet equally rejoices that he has found the way through the hardest of times with Jesus by his side and he is prospering. Today I see painful times as part of your plan for us. So that You, our God, may humble, prosper, and give us purpose. Leading us to victories we never thought possible. Jesus, you walk beside us along narrow paths, the flesh still banging at the door. It didn't matter how many times I stumbled there you were. Even when I fell onto the wide path to satisfy my fleshly needs, there you were. I don't deserve you, Lord. May you continue to provide us with all of the tools we need to stay on the narrow path and soothe our cravings and desires, for we cannot do this without you. Thank you for helping us to keep seeking you even when life hurts, tumbles, and falls. That is why you sent Levi down this path. For us who suffer and can't find the way to you. Levi, now, through your glory God, leads others to God's unconditional promises and his unconditional love, but you already knew that. We understand now. Look at the masses who follow Levi. All the lives he is saving, the people he brought to the feet of Jesus. Thank you for bringing him here. To this earth, this generation, and for his message today. In your heavenly name, the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen Many blessings to all
@@grace42641 Hi Grace. It was on my heart to reach out. Thank you!❤
God does not waste a thing even in our brokenness he is glorified. ❤️🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for your message. Exactly what I needed for today. It's one of those days where I'm tired of the pain and suffering on this earth. Praising God in the midst of my trials is what I can do, what I'm going to choose to do. Feeling more encouraged after hearing your message. Thank you
My husband is leaving me. He feels unfixable due to trauma and depression and alcoholism and being constantly abandoned by the very people who were supposed to love and support him. This hurts like hell. Its not for another woman its for his absolute lack of hope that he deserves connection, love and healing. I am believing for radical transformation and radical healing for his deep wounds. I will praise until my God delivers!! I will worship until it comes to pass!!
Prayers uplifted!! 🙏🙏🙏 You are Loved 😒

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give away and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.psalm 46:1,2
Praying for strength and peace . God is with you. 🙏🏻❤️
Many times ive been in that dark place.
I finally realized that unforgiveness was at the root of my problems.
When I forgave others for some truly horrific acts the Light came back on and now I see what God has been doing through the pain.
No they didnt deserve my forgiveness but I did it for me not them.
Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves.
Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past.
Forgiveness doesnt mean that what the other person did is now ok. It means I’m not living under the power it has had over me.
Thank you for posting your reply. I haven't listened to the sermon yet, but what you said helped me to understand forgiveness in a greater way. I know God loves you and blesses you. A big hug from Houston, Texas.

You’re welcome from Waco.
Thank you for this amazing message. I have shared this series with people who have found themselves in a pit. These words have spoken to my heart and help me continue through life’s struggles. My husband is 1 1/2 yrs sober and i believe for his sobriety. Please pray for my children, Trey, Memphis and Rivaley and that their mental wounds heal and be used for Gods glory.. I know God has set them for this season and he will direct their path.
Thank you for your sermon. I lost my sweet husband 6 months ago and this is exactly what I needed to hear. I just want God to use my husbands testimony to help lead others to Jesus.
When I saw the title to this sermon, I kept putting it off because I didn't feel like listening to it. Glad I finally came around to it because it was exactly what I needed today.
Oh man cried throughout . What a beautiful message . Thank you!!
This is a year old but if you read this, please pray for me. I really need it.
Thank you for this powerful message. Please pray for me and my family, especially my two son's Cameron and Kennedy. In Jesus name. Amen
I am in the middle of a marriage that only God could fix. Right now it hurts like hell. I needed this very sermon. God is up to something and I want to worship him for getting us this far. I've prayed for generational curses to be broken. May God be glorified in the miracle that He will perform.
Me too :(
@@helenavanderploeg7599, God is on your side. He sees you and is with you. I will be praying for you my sister in Christ.
Levi!! This message came at the PERFECT TIME
Thank you so much Levi! I am so blessed by the way God speaks through you. I have endured multiple losses this year. My heart hurts like nothing I can express. I am reading Jenny's book and then on to yours. Please pray God eases this pain .
This brought me to tears 😢 😭 thank you for being so transparent. I truly believe Jesus Christ has my back no matter life's Circumstances..
I looked up Pastor Levi Lusko after hearing his “Moments of Encouragement” on K-LOVE. I fell away from the Catholic Church when their atrocities were revealed, but have always been a Christian. Your sermons have taught me more in recent years about Scripture than I learned in decades of weekly attendance and service. Thank you for being a beacon of light and hope in a world that can seem so dark!
You spoke to me percution is my life, Zephaniah 3:17The Lord your God in the midst of you is mighty He will Save He will rejoice over you with Joy He will rest in His Love He will Joy over you with Singing,💔➕❤️🙏 lost my daughter Nicole Dec 5 last year then my mom and my house, Love you ❤️
Thank you so much for your messages, as a CHRISTIAN suffering with severe depression I have learned so much and been reminded that God is still there.
This Word. I had a break down Saturday night. I was so frustrated and couldn’t figure out why I was serving God and just ready to give up. I had 3 things to do Sunday that would be serving others in addition to my ministry I lead. I showed up. I cried my way through Sunday but I showed up. It hurt like hell and I was angry and I didn’t know why I showed up or why it was important in my spirit to keep serving, but this message … it was for me. I can’t wait to visit one day to personally hand Pastor Levi a thank you card for all the times he brought a Word to me directly from God and changed my life. Thank you, Pastor, for helping me through a season that hurts like hell with this series and Word.
Excellent timing- thank you! Yes, we must LOOK UP TO GOD, as He is in control always.
I need healing. Thank you so much for the message.
What were the scriptures...and what's going on with our hurting lives?!😪😪💔💔💣💣
Amazing message..Thank Pastor Levi 🙌🏼
It hurts like hell...that's the way it FEELS!🔥🔥🌈🌈
Powerful message ❤. My spouse passed away 7 months ago.
WOW - this is just such an amazing message bro!
Please pray for me and my Family I lost my Husband in May And my Son in August he was 45 years old young man Pastor you are truly a blessing to me thank you for being obedient to the lord my people are going to need you
I can relate to what you said about "worshiping even when you hurt like hell..."
I had been bedridden because of an old injury that years of treatment and addiction to narcotic pain pills left me unable to get to the bathroom or dress myself on my own. I was in suffocating pain 24/7!! I had bargained with God saying, "God, do You know how much wonderful Glory will be brought to You? Everyone knows how bad off I am....If You would just touch me I would be healed like that! Everyone would know it to be a miracle from You!!" Then I eventually said, "God, please let me die, if You are not going to heal me....please take my life..."
Finally I came to a place where I could say, "God, no matter what, even if I have to live like this until I die, I will praise You God til the end of my life!!" That week God made it so that I had medical insurance and within three months I had my first of two surgeries to replace both my hips😀🙌
It was only when I came to that place God was waiting for me to get to that, He knew that's what was needed in my heart.... I would get❤ the surgeries I so badly needed, but I wasn't ready for them until I got to that point! Now, there is no way I could ever have enjoyed my life this much without getting to that place in my heart that God brought me to❤
Hallelujah He is so good !!!
I really like the way you discussed reasons for God allowing us to go through very hard times in order for Him to show what we really need !!
God bless you❤
What a wonderful testimony, Teresa! I'm in awe of your courage, humility, and faith! God is glorified in you. Thank you so much for sharing! Judith
God did not take Addison s Life!! The Enemy Did!! Excellent message though!! Thank you🙏🏼
Thank you for this message! I allow my depression to take over and forget to listen for God and worship Him. Thank you for that reminder today!
Dear Lynn: I have heard that depression is anger turned inward. Don't be afraid, ask our Father to show you what you are angry about. He will gently lead you deep into whatever pain lies under the anger and He will be your Savior in that very pain. Let Him do this for you, He loves you so very much. Much love, Judith
I lost my grandfather a little over a month ago and it hurts like hell. Tomorrow I'm heading to serve at church and God is the only one I look to to get me through this. This message came exactly when I needed it, now as I'm preparing for his memorial, all the hurt flooded back again just like the day I lost him. Through all this, I have hope in the eternal life through Jesus and that I'll see him again someday in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
please pray for healing for me !
I'm going through the worst season of my life. On 12/26/22 my wife said to me, " I don't know if I love you anymore". Soon I realized that nothing works for me anymore. Alcohol, drugs, TV, porn, lust, sex, food etc...nothing at all. I had to turn to God all the way. Started praying every day, reading the bible every day and worshipping in my car on the way to work every day. Over 4 months later and my wife still doesn't know what she wants but I'm getting better because I'm learning how to rely on him more than her. A big step for me. There are some days I get up and don't want to live anymore. The hurt and anxiety is a living hell for me. This video gives me so much encouragement and hope. It reminds me what I have to live for and to place my trust in Jesus alone. Such a relief to be reminded I am not alone.
I shall do good by thanking my good god in arvance for his healing blessing forgiveness and promises over our lifes and r and dad. And my life and all supports for the good of health and all kids . Alessia lynn Burch here
Saving this amazing message.
This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much. I was really blessed.
What's the point of this depressing life. Seriously
It can be rlly hard at times trust me but just trust god and hang in there! There will be light at the end of the tunnel
In the name of Jesus to be blessed and in God's kingdom 🙏
This message really touched me! Thank you Pastor Levi!!
Nurturing hope. Your choice. Mind control is doable, so do it. Deliberately choose hopeful words for SELF-TALK.
That's God at work in you. Try it sincerely many times a day for a month. It's simple and easy and effective. God rules! God rocks!
Praise God blessed by this church 😇🥰💌
Please pray that I would discover what God wants me to do with this pain. I believe there is a purpose, but I can't see it. Thanks for the words. For now I will praise, and praise, and praise. Then trust that He will work it all out.
Dear Teresa: May I step into your story just a little? I want to assure you, there is NOTHING for you to do with your pain except exactly what you are doing. Your Heavenly Father knows what to do, and He will be faithful to do it. Just keep casting all your cares on Him as you are doing. He will bring the transformation and you will be amazed at His goodness. Much love, Judith
Excellent and much needed message for the church. Very anointed and for lessons for growing in maturity and intimacy with Jesus.
Please pray for me - going thru a difficult period - needing desperately to surrender it all to Jesus and completely trust HIM - in this world - bones will still break, hearts will still break , but in the end the “light” will overcome the darkness. Jesus spoke this to someone in The Chosen - giving us all hope knowing HE will overcome and will get us thru for HE is the one and only way, HE is the “light!” …..
Thank you for your prayers…❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for this message ~ Lord, help me to choose Worship & Joy, in Jesus’ Name. God Bless each of you ❤
PS Levi you have no idea how much your sermons change my life, I am walking through the darkest season but I'm worshipping, God is carrying me, I will not give up, every day I listen all day to your teaching, God created the greatest preacher with you, one day I'll thankyou in heaven 🌈 Kylie Perth Australia
I’ve recently started following and worshipping with you and every week you touch on something happening in or around my life. I would like to get some prayers for my relationship with my son and his fiancée. We had a falling out a year and a half ago and although I’ve tried to work things out with them we just seem to be at a standstill. My son does text and occasionally will call, but his fiancé just won’t forgive and move on. They have a young daughter ( she’ll be 2 in April) and I also haven’t been able to see her. It hurts so much to not be a part of their lives. I pray all the time about this, but I’m thinking I could use some help. Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻
Getting better day by day, but the loss of my brother Mark, March 2021, and the loss of my husband, July 2021 both for different reasons. I keep going and strive to stay close and draw near to God even though, with the pain, I want to have comfort. The counselor said I was pretty far. A lot of times in life I feel like I am being tested, but this is life and I go forward because of God. God helps me through it all. I pray for God's help and God's strength to help me to keep going strong.
Hi I have stumbled over your messages on here. So grateful. Thankyou. I pray that your church and message would continue to bring this world to know Jesus Christ and I also pray for God's help to be a bright shining light encouraging light also so that I too can help point this world to Jesus. I ask for your forgiveness God for times when I have failed to shine your light because of the struggles. May I please Lord be equipped with your power and knowing that you are always with me and be more concerned about doing your will on this earth shining light here. Amen.
I wonder if all those who interpreted this verse are seeing this slave girl as God would want her to be seen. Your interpretation isn't as harsh as some, but I wonder if she and her story is being accurately portrayed.
This was a young girl. I wonder how you think "she" was responsible for "opening herself up" to evil in the world? She was also a slave girl, in a misogynist culture owned by obviously ruthless men. Why do you really think she was yelling for the apostles attention? Could it be that God was answering her prayers for freedom too? Who else could have helped her as the Apostles did? Why don't you bring to attention that the Apostles saved her too??? And because of it, many more were saved during that prison experience. Acts 16:16 and the un-named slave girl is probably one of the most misunderstood stories in the Bible. I would love to see it interpreted thru the eyes of Jesus and not the superstitions of men. Acts 16:16 the story of the Vilified Victim.
That was for me pastor - 21 mins in. Thank you!
I'm trying everything. I pray, I read the scripture, I went on a fast, I'm waiting, I'm hoping, I'm trying to cast all what hurts on Jesus but nothing Changes and it feels like I'm alone in this. The thing that I thought God spoke to my heart is not coming through and I'm just stuck. I don't know what this situation is for. I don't know wehen things will be better. I just don't know what to do. I'm totally lost at the age of 34 and I simply don't want to have to take this anymore. Nothing gets better. No matter how much I search the Lord. 😞
Thank you for this... I was laid off from my job on Oct 14 of this year, my 31 yr. old daughter and my 2 grandchildren had moved in 2 days before so I could help her get back on her feet, then 4 days later my fiancé' died suddenly. The pain has been unbearable, and soon my grief was taken over by anger. I felt I had nothing left to give anyone, no love, no compassion, no comfort, no job or income to help anyone, and for the first time in my life I needed help, and no one seemed to care. I could not even pray, as the anger and pain had taken over. I know that there are people who have experienced much more pain worse than this, but I felt my life was over. At 61 years of age, I was at the end of my rope and wanted to give up as the pain was too much to bear. But this 1 sermon has changed everything, and I am so thankful for this and now know what assignment God has for me. I will praise God in my grief even if it hurts like hell. Thanks again, for this inspiring beautiful message.
Wonderful words of encouragement! I lift many to the Lord, not just myself. We all go through knock us to our knees times not understanding why. I encourage everyone to stay the path, walk my faith when you can't see. God has a plan. You may not see it for many years, but believe He has a plan to use you!
Love how you share the Gospel with such passion and relevance to where "we get it and understand it." Thank you Pastor Levi!
I just wish Jesus would be any of these things. How do you praise God when it has hurt like Hell for 30 years? How can you call Him a promise keeper, when all He has done is break every promise to you? How do you call Him good when all He does is torment you? How can you praise the jerk who created you against your will and forced this life on you just to hurt you for all of eternity? How do you praise God when all you have even known Him to be is a cruel and selfish master who has rejected you in every conceivable way? What do you do when it’s gone on for so long that there is literally no possible form of hope left? Even the thought of eternal life fills me with nothing but utter despair
I stumbled up on this message and it was exactly what I needed. I'm hurting due to a family member who took her own life a few weeks ago. I thank God for allowing me to hear this message. 🙏
Our third daughter was diagnosed with 5 heart defects. I was 44. The doctors told us to abort. We refused. She was born and her 1st open Geary surgery 3 days later. And we were surprised that she also had Down syndrome. I was in seminary when God turned our lives in a different direction which hurt. She went on to have 5 more open heart surgeries and a stroke. I was astounded by how much God has taught us through her. Our little Erin has taught us unconditional love and how to forgive.
12:15, this chick? That's progressive enough😎😎

I have a 38 year old daughter who disappeared. It's been 2 years since I've heard from her. She was in Santa Fe New Mexico,and addicted to heroine and pain killers. Please pray for her and me too. I often think she might not be alive!
Keep praying for your daughters return and salvation, your prayers have no expiry date and no boundaries. You serve the Almighty God who loves you and your daughter unconditionally ❤

Thank you for this! ❤️
This message spoke to my heart , everything I am feeling at the moment
This message has transformed my life as a whole. I’m a 25 yr old man still living at home & I’ve just been so lost as to what to do with my life; not to mention severe depression & feelings of hopelessness.
This year has probably been one of the worst years of my life and I’ve been running away from God and not towards him.
I know it was divine destiny that I clicked on this video in my recommended feed.
It is so helpful to know all of us are going through things in life but when it hurts like hell, our response can only be worship.
Amen, Jiggy. It begins in worship, it ends in the Glory of God. Be very patient with yourself, be patient with the process. Judith
Wow 14 years old, what a lucky mom💞🙏
