I’m speechless. Idk how to even express the ways God just used you to speak directly to me just now. Every single word. Just wow. Thank you for sharing all of this. I’m one of the people this video was meant for.
when Rustin started talking about coming out of agreement with spiritual strongholds and when he said I come out of agreement with the lies of the enemy and I agreed, I felt the power of the Holy Spirit rush on me. I am free from shame in Jesus name!
This was really helpful to hear. I find that when I hear other people's testimonies of how God has Set them free from dark places that their testimonies are like keys that God Uses to set me free from my dark places. Then, God could Use my testimony to set others free from their dark places. Each person's healing most likely will never just touch their own lives, but will also most likely touch other people's lives not only exponentially but also generationally. With that being said, each person's healing doesn't just include forgiveness to others but also forgiveness to themselves. In my own life, I've found that forgiveness to myself is one of the hardest things to do, yet is needed and necessary if I want to walk in the liberating and fruitful life that Jesus Christ died to so Lovingly Give me. Yahweh has been Reminding me that the past is in His Hands and to leave it in His Hands as His Hands are The Best Hands to leave my past in. It is the great exchange: I'm giving Him my past, and Yahweh is Giving me His Gift to me of a restored present and future. And Yahweh's Gifts aren't just for me. They're for other people, too, because we're in The Father's House and what we do is we all share His Blessings with each other here - in Yahweh, each of our cups are not full, but actually always overflowing. In my own personal life, I've been through a lot of trauma from others and also from myself, but God has been Teaching me how to not only heal from it all correctly, but how to stay healed His Way. And He's Leading me to become a police officer. At first, I was honestly really jarred (me?!). But yes, me. Because God Equips the Called, He doesn't call the equipped. So I choose to say here I am Lord, Send me! Yahweh, let's do this, I'll be a police officer for You! And lastly, a Christian worship song I love to combat shame is "The Father's House" by Cory Asbury. It helps me reframe what The Father's House is actually like. "Check your shame at the door, 'cause it ain't welcome anymore. Oooo we're in The Father's House...Failure's never final when The Father's in the room."
I was sober 7 years then stopped going after watching your video I asked my higher power to guide me cause I can't do it on my own O.D.A.A.T Thank you and God for your help 🙏
Mannnnnn listennnnn….. when Rustin was talking about abstain and moderate - I almost threw my phone bc that’s 125% me!!! I just realized that’s what I do!!!! What?!? 🤯
This was necessary for me. You do life with God but are not doing life with Him because you are doing it your way. I am on this journey where I am saying ''God let us do it your way.'' Thank you for this
This was fantastic! For every guy/girl who has people who surrounded them, stuck around and walked out the work with them, reminded them of who they are in christ, there are a hundred or a thousand who dont, these stories/testimonies/messages are so instrumental for so many
Thanks for sharing your story and all of the golden nuggets.❤ Two things stand out for me: 1. The story of the woman who bled has always been special for me. Kinda similar to my story with Abba. In so many ways I was like her... just wanting relief, knowing that He could heal if I got close enough. And like her, He gave me relief. And just like the woman He called me back, transforming me in ways that I would have thought impossible. 'Cause that's who He is.❤ So often I sit in wonder, saying, "Abba, if You never did another thing for me, it's enough." And then He does another thing. 🙂 I think it's funny how we hope for relief, but He says, "no no... I'm not stopping there." His plan is so much bigger. On my way to being healed so that I can help others on their healing journey.💪 2. It was helpful to have practical steps for how to deal with the circling thoughts of shame. I've often heard that I need to take negative thoughts captive, but have not been so sure how. Thanks😊.
The main thing i got from this is that we should do our WORK! Get therapy and work through your trauma otherwise you will create chaos in not only your life but the people around you. There is a heavy price to pay either way. It takes hard work to go to therapy and get free and yet it also costs you and others so much when you choose not to. Please people, let's do our work so the people around us won't suffer because of us.
Oh yes, perfect timing with this. Thank you Lord! I Feel much lighter and open after hearing this, for i have been struggling with quitting nicotine, and dealing with the emotional hardships that come with it.
I love this conversation, truly. I was having a little trouble tracking with you about identity. I hope I can say this legibly. I was struggling through my own thoughts, asking God to help me understand what was being said. Here is the aha moment....Paul said it is no longer I who sin but sin in me. In a sense, you are not an alcoholic (the born again you) it is the sin in you. In your flesh (all of our flesh nature) dwells no good thing. For me, in my flesh is gluttony for food. I use to smoke...sin in me...I could not stop until reading through 2nd Kings 5. I asked God what is it, like Nahum not wanting to dunk himself in the Jordan seven times, that I won't do that you don't take this from me? He spoke these words...be accountable. I did that 18 years ago. I never had the urge for a cigarette again. He didn't have a long conversation with me lol. Just 2 words. With food, I seem to be playing out Romans 7:18-19 over and over again. I would appreciate your prayers.
This was a hard message for me to hear because it felt like I was letting out all the things I haven't ever fully voiced except to the Lord. I was also sexually abused but at 7. I've been addicted to sex, still am but abstain completely, was addicted to Marijuana for 7 years, now abstain completely, was addicted to alcohol and have abstained for 6+ years but man the food is a beast that torments me in ways I have no weapons for. The shame is horrendous. Just like you I can be good and focused for a week, 2 months, 2 years but eventually I slide back into the food addiction even though I know it's killing me. I so desperately thank God for what he's brought me through and all that he has blessed me with. I have the same great job for the last 14 years but I suffer from imposter syndrome there, I have 2 great kids which I pray I guide to the Lord but everyday I feel hopeless even though I know God has good plans for me. Until now I thought all the addictions were separate things, circumstantial to where I was in my life but I guess they not. Thanks for sharing this has been helpful thank you both. May the Lord bless and keep you 🙏
I honestly wish I could have a one-on-one conversation with you. I have so much on my heart and I understand you do not know everything but man you seem wise. Anyway God bless you
“And I acted that way” MY TESTIMONY TOO 🥹🙏🏻♥️ I was truly convinced I was a horrible woman and I would never be worthy of being treated well… Praise God for his supernatural ability to reach us in our utter despair

So much healing happened for me just by listening… I love this so much
I was sober 7 years then stopped going after watching your video I asked my higher power to guide me cause I can't do it on my own O.D.A.A.T Thank you and God for your help 🙏
❤ Authentic and Intimate. Not that I am perfect. I love this ministry. Healing is the word. God bless this work.

God could and would if he were sought ! Yes Amen !

Please pray for me. Thank you 🙏
Forgiveness is as much for us as it is for them it sets us free
Really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story. Love the Holy Spirit pause. I felt him enter.
Ty for your constant service
This is so powerful.

Thank you for this episode!
Powerful message
Wow. So many moments that resonated with me. Going to rewatch it. God dazzled throughout this leader’s cut! ❤
This is one of those "Every believer needs to watch this" things.
This was amazing. Thank you both so very much.
From my heart: Thank you for this episode.
Sending you loads of love from Soutn Africa.
I relate to all of this so much, thank you for sharing
It’s the vows we make (at Satan’s prompting) that extends the damage done from the injustice.
Wow this was at the right time! Thank you to both of you. Sharing with my life group. We have amazing pastors in the valley
Would love to hear more on healing from injustice TY
Incredible. 🙌🏼 learned so much 😅
