  • In this message we continue our series on, ‘The Parable of the Tanking Economy’ with a focus on the topic of unemployment.
    “I remember the first day I was out of work.
    I felt very alone; as if nobody had ever lost their job…”
    A formerly unemployed man
    “God, God . . . my God! Why did you dump me miles from nowhere?...
    I call to God all the day long. No answer. Nothing.”
    Psalm 22:1-2 MSG
    “The lack of work also damages the spirit… Work is sacred…
    Work gives dignity to a family.”
    Pope Francis, The Catholic Register, August 19, 2015
    “Your worth is not determined by what you do or what you make, but in who you choose to be. My will for you is not WHAT you go through but HOW you go through it. And how I'm hoping you go through it is WITH me... Because I'm here, and you're not alone."
    An unemployed woman on God’s take on her
    “He has never let you down, never looked the other way
    when you were being kicked around. He has never wandered off to do his own thing; he has been right there, listening.”
    Psalm 22:14 MSG
    “You are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you-from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.”
    1 Peter 2:9-10, MSG

    Currently unemployed and have been for 6 months so far. This video really allowed me to see myself how God sees me. Very empowering.

      they have AI job blacklisting and our faith is being tested right now, they want desperate people to surrender to the new godless order. stay strong in the Faith and He will make your and mine paths straight. Sometimes I get disoriented too, but if we accept that God is almighty and takes care of everything, then we know that He is able and taking care of us.

    I cried out to the Lord with my whole heart , and He heard me from His Holy heal. And moved in a faithful servant to share this beautiful full of anointing sermon which touched my whole being and He let me know He is listening,that His timing to answer is never late for the broken hearted or the poor in Spirit. Faithful and true is He whom we have redemption and comes our salvation from Him and sovereign protection and peace He gives,amen. All the glory and honor be to God The Father and our blessed Lord Jesus Christ,amen.

      You need to look more clearly at your resume, references, and cover letters (look at the details); Edit them as accurately as you can. Also, sharpen up your interviewing skills! Go to job fairs, volunteer to up your resume, gain skills by going to take a class at a community college, and gain skills by learning something new, create something to show off on your resume if it is relevant to the job you're applying for. All of these things will help you up your resume. Show up to job interviews 15 minutes early at the latest (an unwritten rule is that 15 minutes early is on time, and later than that is late, even if you are literally on time). And finally, make sure you look and smell nice at your interviews. Good luck! :)

      @@marklynch403 , also go to your city/town's job center; They will at least help you get a job interview. Ask around your friends if they know any job openings from a family member and/or other friends! Some job centers/people at job centers will try to get you to gain experience by getting you to learn a skill without getting paid, but it will look good on your resume. I think some jobs even let you intern with them without pay too. I'm not sure if the word 'intern' is the most accurate, but whatever.
      And no problem. Seeing someone suffer for so long is painful to me. I would have to at least try to help! Good luck! :)

      Kenny thank you for this encouragement , daily job hunts and are my full time job now. I had a interview screening last week so I wait on a call for a second. I live in a third world country sad to say there is no such thing as a jobcentre. Nepotism and corroption is the order of the day. But I keep positive things will work out .I sincerely appreciate your support and kind words

      Praying for you. Im in the same situation as you as I watch this video, i felt like I have no where to go . That I dont have a great future ,that i cant do what I want to do in life. People mock me and destroy myself worth. But through this video, GOD helped me that He knows my situation. That my worth is in Him not on my performance. That Im always enough for Him. I pray for GOD's goodness and love to you. He is good even in our trials. He will make a way.

    How sad it is to see some preachers who do not approach a topic with intelligence and do not bring solid arguments to maintain faith in a God who does not respond in situations as atrocious and common as unemployment... it is better not to say anything...
