- As the church, it can feel like we have to have it all together all of the time, to avoid talking about where we are, where we've been, or what we've walked through. Our prayer is that this message is just the starting place for us to let go of those expectations, to be a church where we open up and ask Jesus to use our stories in order to shine His light into the darkness.

No you are not alone ❤️ So many people are struggling. You will get through this, Eleazar.
No sir!
Jesus is always with those who believe and follow in his words.
Plus there's a bunch of us at the church and you're welcome to them all. P.s I'm in the UK in Birmingham 🖖

I know, as I've been there. God help us to help each other
I failed a suicide attempt at 15, spent 3 months in the psychiatric ward and learned so much. I didn't let my experience go to waste and have helped many. One of the hardest things as a teen or even an adult is having no one to just listen, ask questions and help you work through things. Everyone is too busy and consumed with themselves or "what they would do."
Ever wish someone would ask you if you're okay or would just offer to listen without being forceful or judgemental...just listen? Be that person. A lot of people just need that, I've come to find. Just love them and listen.
One of the most profound sermons I have ever heard on depression and suicide. Ive been there. Im there now. This is SO liberating! THANK YOU!
I needed to hear this message. After my 20something child suicided, was told by certain other family members of a certain religion, that my child would not be allowed into heaven. I have tried to learn the teaching of the Bible and remember reading one of God's provisions for mentally ill people is forgiveness of actions they do while not in their right mind. I know my child accepted Jesus as the savior, as the blood sacrifice. I know my child went to heaven and is not in pain anymore, us left behind bear the pain, this is true. The sibling left behind struggles with suicide for 8 years now and yes every day my other young adult child makes it through another dark night is a miracle. Thank you Father.
Jesus was so quick to act with compassion in spite of the law. Those who apply legalism without the overriding compassion of Jesus miss the mark. I hope those who spoke to you without Jesus' compassion did not discourage you.
@@cynthiaaustin1763 Jesus loves you!! I'm praying for you Cynthia!!!!
I am so sorry.
They See Jesus after Death!! I Promise You. Suicide is not bigger than our Lord. God Speak to those Family Members and tell them Truth.
No where in the Bible or any Doctrine does it specifically without question say what they refer to. You KNOW Jesus sees each Soul as they move on from here. HE is hard to deny in the flesh and spirit. They will be sorry. He Will- Forgive us in front of Him in our Soul state, we will feel His Human Embrace of Forgiveness!!!!!?! Isn't that amazingly wonderful. Thank You, Jesus.
I am sorry for your pain. I too had to Discovery above following a Beloved Family members undiagnosed depression pushed her to suicide. Brilliant mind now rests with Our Lord. I am sure of that. You can be too. You've got insight and the gift of personal prayer with a love of the Lord. Through Your Persistance and Love your Family Will be released of the deep rooted mental illness, by The Power Of the Almighty Through the Name of Jesus! What's done is done.

I cried through so much of this and had to stop the video many times.
thank you. Jesus is real. We can make it. I never thought about how leaning on Him is glorifying Him, and had not given much thought to how praising in a dark place is beautiful.
I just screenshot your comment so I can remember it. Thank you 🙏😢
I’ve experienced depression at different levels all my life. At 70+, it’s worse than ever-more chronic. Hanging on one day at a time.
"the pressure to be ok can be an intense weight". So true!
I've had schizophrenia for over 20 years. I remember when I told the Pastor's wife of an old Church I used to go to and her first reaction was to say, "well we'll have to get you off all that medication". That was what she wanted and that ultimately led to me being placed in hospital again. Now I go to a different Church. I have a relationship with Jesus and I love Him. That is enough for me.
Hi Micky, how are you?
I don't fully understand schizophrenia, but I am so happy to hear that through it all, you have been able to have a relationship with Jesus!!! I have struggled with severe depression and PTSD, so I have seen others while I was in a hospital who had schizophrenia and it seemed to be such a difficult thing to maintain reality. I am so happy that you have been able to keep your relationship with Jesus through it all. Good for you!!!!
There was once a time when mental health issues were not taken seriously and even worse not spoken about, thank goodness that’s changed 👍🏻🙏🏻
Louie is such a gift. Thank you Lord for making his heart.

Thank you Louie for bringing this message. I have dealt with depression my whole life it seems. Try twice between the ages of 16-18. Deep down I didn't really want to die. Thankful that Jesus had a hold on me through it all. I am thankful HE continues to hold me. When I feel it trying to come on me I Praise and Pray. This is the way I deal with it.
I can't say that the church makes me feel , because maybe it's what the enemy wants me to feel. BUT, something makes me feel as if a true Christian wouldnt go through this. We are suppose to be a light, have joy and smile all the time. And when you don't feel any of this, it just causes more depression which goes deeper into despair.
Jesus is the answer and Faith in Him is not based on my feelings. Because my feelings can be a liar.
I am not alone in this. I may not be as deep into it as another BUT we are not alone. JESUS is there and will never leave us!!!!
“Mental illness” is one of the highest forms of spiritual warfare....
This is why it is so important to have “the mind of Christ”. In Him there is deliverance.
I have experienced the most highs and lows of the mind and have been healed and delivered for over 7 years.

Thank u
exactly! just as we have Holy Spirit, there are hell spirits of depression and suicide and shame and anxiety circling and seeking to cloak, suffocate, and destroy God's people. we are made in His image and it infuriates the enemy and we need to declare that and praise our way thru the darkest moments
I lost my daughter to suicide this past July...she was only 30. Thank you for speaking out on this.

So so sorry for your loss! Hugs!

Oh Coni, I am so very sorry for your profound loss.😭 No one can really imagine or prepare themselves for the immense heartache you are living with.

My brother was 31. I’ve been forever changed by his decision but I KNOW he is with our Lord. I pray you move on from that decision and seek information such as this talk to help you walk through the pain🙏🙏🙏
Thank you God bless you! I will not die I will live & declare what the Lord has done!
Amen

Thank you for this. I am 68 and a Christian. But choices I made as a teenager still haunt me. And certain family loves to treat me badly. Oh I so want complete freedom in Jesus.
I still remember when I had a panic attack. It was terrible, and one of my kitchen's knives came to my mind and I could see my self hurting my arm with it. And I voice came to my mind saying, "How on Earth on you going to raise your daughter like this; you can't even take care of yourself; you should better aks your daughter's father to take care of her". And I cried. Then the word of God came to my mind, "I have plans for you... Plans to prosper you..." And other words I don't remember. They gave me a so strong sense of purpose, being loved and sustained. The Word of God has power!k
I had a similar experience but I remembered the verse that I am loved by someone that died for me
💜💜💜💜💜 I’m so glad you’re still here because the world would NOT be better off without you. Believe in the promises of God! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

So good! Thank you. Sometimes we tend to think the miracle of God bringing us through should or will look like "this', Listening to someone be Real about this , takes the blinders off to see. I may not look or feel a certain way. But I'm here and THAT IS THE MIRACLE
We are vulnerable...we are humans.. we need God's love ❤️
And sometimes we need to come alongside those who are going through mental illness especially when they are on their own. While it is true that God is with us always b I also believe that there are times when we His body need to express that truth by coming alongside people and in a committed way that will stick with them in their journey. And with older people they can feel that life has finished and that nobody cares. The first statement is not true but sadly the latter can be true. Jesus said that we should love one another as He has lived us.

Amen. Depression and suicide is NOT bigger than Jesus. JESUS is the NAME above all names. Whether its sickness or death... Jesus Name is The Name. Thank you Pastor Louie for this awesome, anointed and powerful message. What a man of God to share your personal experience to the people that needed it the most. Blessings
I had suffered many years with severe headaches. And came to a point that I felt I could no longer deal with it. I spoke honestly with my Father in Heaven. He showed me some homeopathic medicine that took my pain away.
Wow, the emotions I felt and the feeling of peace I have listening to this can't be described. I suffer from PTSD due to a car wreck and domestic violence and hearing I am not alone is an indescribable feeling. I also am missing my mom who took her life January 2011. She was my best friend and I miss her. I am praying for healing for all of those who are going through a rough season of life and for those who are contemplating suicide.
Sorry to hear. I'm lifting you up to the Lord. I'm praying you will feel Him so very near, holding you and wiping your tears on the days you are downcast. He loves you. God bless.
Sending love and peace to you daughter of God
Amen dear believer. "For blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of Mercies and God of ALL comfort" In Jesus Name I align my prayer with this Truth on your behalf and the behalf of the Beautiful Bride of Christ. Lord we thank you that The Tender Mercies of God is our daily Crown as your mercies are renewed morning by morning. Lord You are the crown of life and in Life you destroy the works of the enemy in our lives and in our societies. As it is written "You Lord Jesus are manifest in these last days to destroy the works of the enemy" and we pray that you manifest your truth and love to the broken, hurting, the mourning and those suffering emotionally in brokeness. You Lord come to set the captives free and heal the broken hearted and Lord we pray at this very moment in Time that the ANNOINTING THAT BREAKS EVERY YOKE OF BONDAGE BE MANIFEST, HOLY FATHER, ON EARTH IN THE FORM OF SALVATION AGAINST MENTAL HEALTH AND DEPRESSION. THAT THE DESTRUCTION OF THESE WEAPONS (TOOLS) USED BY THE ENEMY AGAINST HUMANITY BE
DESTROYED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME. AMEN AND AMEN.
Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, I can very much relate to you. I am so sorry for your loss. My sweet mother took her life in the 80’s. I have made peace with it, but it’s something I have never gotten over, but I have gotten though it in beautiful ways I could have imagined. My mother has made me a more compassionate and caring person. I have learned so much. It has made me wise, and sensitive to others in a grand way. The harsh pain brought me to the Lord in the 90s and my life has forever been dedicated to Jesus. This video was so validating and helpful to me. I will pray for you and pray that the Lord be present with you always! ❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️✝️✝️🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is the message the church needs.
2 of my brothers took their own lives. Eric in 1980 and Chris in 1990. In 1998 my step sister also ended her life. In 2015 my cousin and in 2016 my best friend. I came very close in 1994. Only Jesus carried me through. My church was not understanding. Been told time and again my family are in hell for ending their lives, by Christians. Thanks for this, you are so real. From South Africa.
"Jesus, take the beauty from the pain, I'm leaning on you!!✝️🙏🔥❤
Louie you have given mental health a voice, you have said what I wish I could say but afraid to be judged and rejected. Thank you for this amazing sermon.
Thank you Louie, I needed to hear this. A loved one of mine struggles and is so angry at God for allowing things to happen to her. I'm pleading for healing from JESUS. Thank you...
Thank you so much for your sincere word from your heart. I came to Jesus in 1984 when I was temped to finish my life at the age of 16. I asked God to do something in my life if He truly existed. I'm still here because He is more alive than me and He changed my life for His glory.
🤕🤕🤕🤕Wow!!!! Thank you so much for this message Pastor Louie. I literally was in the same boat 3 to 4 years ago and people from church said I had demons. Whilst one who was a close friend said I am exaggerating... It was such a dark place. Four years later in October: the Holy Spirit sent me more than two people who were suicidal and prompted me to Speak Out about suicide. I did it! I spoke about it along with living with the trauma of being sexually violated. We thank the Holy Spirit for this message. God bless your obedient heart!!! We need more leaders like you...
Beautiful testimony ❤️
@@brookevandevelde8393 Thank you so much. Won't He do it? He is just a good Father... 💓💓💓💓
I am not alone and I am not okay but my Jesus is okay.
This was very encouraging. I am a Christian who has struggled with this. Jesus brought me through. So grateful to Him x
I didn’t leave my room for a year because I was so depressed and hopeless. And this was only 3 years ago. After failed attempts to end my life. I still feel hopelessness but leave my room to go to work.
That's a step! Wonderful!
Rachel Burleigh thank you. :)
Praying you feel more hope today Renae...but also praying that you stay for Jesus and for His glory 🙏❤️ Praying Jesus makes you feel more peace, more hope and more joy each and every day! I’m happy you are still here!! Jesus is ok...even when we aren’t.
Step by step and little by little one day at a time Renae. You keep on going and know that Jesus is with you even when you feel hopelessness. You are loved.
Renae keep going☺️ you're strong enough and fully equipped to live life because Jesus is right by your side holding your hand ❤️
Isaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord your God

I will help you.
I never had suicidal thoughts but since 2009 Im struggling with panic/anxiety attacks...My situation is not as severe as others but sometimes it keeps me awake at night and even though I pray I cannot fall asleep and a feeling of an unspecific fear keeps me awake....but after reading all these comments I deffinately know that Im not alone and Jesus knows the situations that each one of us is struggling with and he is here to help us and he WILL help us because he died for us on the cross and because he has a perfect plan for all us ;)
I am dealing with health issues and this message is just at a right time even if this message was 2 years ago and still speaks until now. I am encouraged with Luie quoting "stay even in the pain and trust God to do a miracle and give you another sunrise and another day to believe in Him." ... I will not die but live and proclaim the works of the Lord. Thank You Jesus Christ
The moat honest pastor I've came across
Well, I lost it when I heard this. I’m in that dark place. I’m glad to know there is hope. Thank you, Jesus and thank you for speaking out about depression! My brother did kill himself. I do NOT want to follow in his footsteps.
Who's here from Coles Instagram story. I've started school recently and been feeling overwhelmed and defeated and this is a way of Jesus answering my prayers if me asking him for help. One of the most comforting things is to now I'm defiantly not along. I struggle from some insane mental illness stuff and my family shames me for it and I can't even tell them. But whatever I'm going through is just what Is needed for to rise. I believe Jesus put us in the earth to experience that pain and joy go hand and hand. May the flowers remind us why the rain was necessary
Thanks for sharing!
Praying for you! God is still with you and always will be!
Hang in there hon... there is no condemnation and God is walking this road with you. Praying for you.

My girlfriend of four years just ended our relationship. I’m in such a dark place I’ve been crying out to God asking him why, why he’s doing this to me. I’m still not sure but I do know I needed to hear this right now. God bless any of you who are battling any sort of battle he is greater than anything life could throw at us.
You are never alone. Jesus is always with us👍🙏❤️🎄
All churches need this message❤
I can only wish that the churches in my area would wake up. I've been there, and I'm battling at the moment. I made the mistake of reaching out to the church. The church crucified me, i was told that I am demon possessed, I turned my back that day and promised myself that I would never sit foot in a church again. I'm fighting and I'm still fighting my feelings of worthlessness and depression. I just know that at this point I can't handle the judgement of the "good christians". I've been told so many times that I need to get over it, I just need to be thankful and I must remember that I am dooming myself to hell with my talk of depression and suicidal thought. At this point in my community, I keep my mouth shut, cry myself to sleep and dread waking up another day.
Madaleen, we are praying for you in these days. If you are struggling with thoughts of taking your own life, please make the choice to stay and call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline @ tel:18002738255
I understand the feeling. I was accused of being demonicaly influenced. I was bought to the front of the church, and prayed for in front of everyone. But I set foot in another church, and the first thing the pastor did when he found out? Invited me to talk it out over coffee. The "good Christians" out there who will blame you for a problem that is out of your hands are not good Christians, and don't deserve to call themselves such.
I got a miracle too.. from a total stranger on Facebook. She pulled me through with Gods help and she said " Just do me one favour please speak to Jesus" id given up and given up on God too. God didn't let me go for one second ever, he sent a stranger. Not just any stranger, he sent a stranger that he knew would make sense to me and communicate in a way that i would pay attention. The signs were all over facebook in my posts, family and friends just turned a blind eye. God truly is beyond amazing. Im so grateful and my faith just gets stronger and more intense as i learn to love him.
What it just frustrates me is hearing "a Christian shouldn't be depressed". To me, it is just like saying "a Christian shouldn't be sick". How can we be so blind to our brothers and sister's pain. They just assume you don't have enough faith, you are not doing enough, you are not praying enough. Would I have my arms longer just because I am praying? You need a miracle for that to happen and enter into a huge battle for your life. And I have and I did. And yes, Jesus is greater!! He healed me. It took me years of surrendering, counselling, meds, God's revelation, a lot of crying, love and sensitivity from my church. Church is critical in this! Depression is not sth we conquered by ourselves. I am still dealing with anxiety and ADD. Oh anxiety, another thing you just have because "your lack of faith" or "because you are not a mature Christian". But I trust God is still working in me, and He knows.
I'm not okay... but my Jesus is.
I just 'stumbled' on this today and I realize that I am the 1 in church who sees the 'others' like me. Do i believe in healing? I just said yes this morning, i'm still in this world- the world is broken, but i'm here Going for 'the MIRACLE'...
👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Jesus save my life 6 years ago. The lord walk me with me and through my darkness. Depression is REAL. GOD WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HEAL ME. Thought me step by step how to walk through it out.
People whe need to pray each day and night that God and Holy spirit to work in peoples mind and heart who are thinking of suicide.we must pray that God will touch there hearts and mind,that Holy spirit will take over there mind
Thank you for sharing this message. As a family member that was left behind by someone that took his life, the grief has never ended. My life changed overnight and I know that my relationship with Jesus is what has gotten me through each day. Especially the dark days. I never really talk about it because I still feel shame that I could not stop this from happening. I am forever grateful for my church and the love they have always shown my boys and myself and I know that God brought me there for that purpose.
"I will not die; instead I will live and declare what the Lord has done." (!!!!!!!!!!) Praise Him 💛💛💛
Also when I start slipping into that dark hole,i keep listening to gospel music till I feel I am out the hole,i keep praising Him for redeeming me.

Thank you my friend. Thank you for this message. The body of Christ needs to understand and come around the heaviness of what God has put as a burden on your heart. No pain is wasted on our spiritual journey.
Such an amazing message!! I never usually comment on TH-cam videos, but I felt it on my heart to just encourage this church, and Pastor Giglio. God is truly working.
One of the things i learned was that my healing may not be in my time but in God's time. =)
Thank you for this message,i battle suicide thoughts and depression since I was a teenager,my family thought I was a disgrace,when I confidence church members they thought I was living in sin and that is what happens to me,my mother didn't want to listen to me,she thought I was a disgrace to God,finally while working at UCLA I went to the doctor and quietly talk to him about it,gave me medication and it was like coming out of black and white picture and stepping into colors,i didn't know I had clinical depression.sevetals years ago in my women group a lady who was visiting the church said she was depressed and I'm meds immediately the leader of the women's group said is the devil get out of meds and trust the Lord,I spoke up I said I have been in medication for depression for years don't do it go back to your doctor for that I was shone out of the women group, didn't care ,kin David Jeremiah profet and Job was too and they weren't out of the grace of the Lord.
I am watching this again, trying to get the courage to enter a trauma disorder program again tomorrow for the 3rd time. It's been 11 years since the last time, but if I don't, I will not survive. The nights are always horrible, and suicide is a constant "way out" playing through my mind. I think the enemy really wants me to give up, but I so desperately want Jesus to hold me. I know that Jesus is strong and bigger than this. Praise God that this issue is being brought into the light.
Praying for you, Kate! God is with you. You are not alone!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for stating that mental illness is a real thing. I have battled depression and am on anti-depressants. It is a dark chasm...horrible, horrible place. BUT....Jesus is there. He is in the dark shining His Light. Love this message 💕💕💕💕

What a wonderful messenger. Thank you Jesus for Louie. So happy I found him.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! We need to break the stigma of mental health. In my family in less than three years, I lost my dad, lost a dear friend, I watched my daughter attempt suicide three times, go through a deep depression and then be hospitalized, go through counseling and be on meds. Then I lost my mom. All within three years. My life became so dark that I didn't even realize how dark it was. After many thoughts of suicide, depression, sadness and a slew of other issues, I am finally seeking the help I desperately have needed for so long. But I notice that no one talks about it - especially men!! We need to break this and bring it to the Light. Thank you for being so bold, Louie!!
Freak_118 I am so sorry for your losses. My daughter is also battling the spirit of suicide. Please know you are both being prayed for.
@@lightbeareroftruth Thank you so much! I will pray for your daughter as well.
Jesus healed my mind. Amen!
I am so grateful for this talk! Thank you, Pastor Giglio, for being so transparent about mental health and the church and what God has to say. I really needed this, especially as a college student.
Francis Duffy but yet you’re here listening to a sermon about God.
SCAMMER ABOVE!
@@jojomasipa379 yes , I just reported that too .
I have experienced it to the max, God has taught me much about it and I have understanding. "Mental illness" is some of the highest forms of spiritual warfare known to mankind.
God delivered and healed me 9 years ago. So much of this has to do with loving Yah with our soul. It deals with past trauma, deep emotional pain and dirty little secrets. It is imperative to be transparent and confess our faults one to another. There is joy on the horizon.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) is able to accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God-it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].
James 5:16 AMP
Psalm 118:17 I. shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the. Lord.
Oh halleluyah halleluyah Halleluyah. I wish this msg could be televised on huge billboards to christians and non christians world wide... Halleluyah. Yes. To be still standing.
Every time when I'm in the pit of depression again, I listen to this sermon. It is so helpful and comforting
What a fantastic word. Thank you for this. I struggle with having empathy for people struggling with mental illness. I pray that God helps me with this blindspot.
Really love and respect this (B/c at least you’re aware!!😄👏🏾). Entire demographics struggle with having empathy for this. An entire culture. God bless.💯
Same here, it just appears to be such a sick thing, to want to take your own life I pray for help as my granddaughter is dealing with this right now. It's something I can not understand.
Hey, I know that this is 2 years old, but your recognition of this lack of empathy is such a promising step forward. As a sufferer of suicidal thoughts/ideation, I think some insight might help. People with suicidal thoughts don't have a rational train of thought. They often feel so worthless that they believe the world would be better off without them. Now of course, that is not true at all, but after so much time, these thoughts become their reality. I hope that you have worked on this for the past two years and spent some time praying over it. As I've said, it's very promising that you acknowledged the issue. But don't beat yourself up over it. Sometimes you don't need to understand to have compassion. Just know that suicide is born from pain, both physical and/or mental, and the tiredness that it causes.
Thank you for this! ❤ God brought me to this video as soon as I woke up. I needed it! 🎉
W O W !!!!!!!! What Manner of Man is this PASSION city Church preacher !!!!!!!! He is preaching how real ppl are even tho Christian’s. I was shown that now I’m free
Free of a circumstance that I’m coming back alive and it is true. God can restore back what the cancer worn stole. I can’t get back lotsa what I lost by my choices. But now that I’m free I can see more clearly. And im getting my true self back
Wow! A beautifully frank sermon we all need to hear
Wow. This is the most genuine sermon I have ever heard.
This is what people need to hear whether they are Christians or not.
If u ever read this pastor. U are the miracle God is using thru Jesus Christ..... yr honest real an open testimony 🙌 is Setting the world free 🙌 Thanku Jesus u came to set the captives free an heal the 💔 brokenhearted....
O HOW, HOW, HOOW??!! Can anyone not believe God exists and He created all things?!?@ PRAISE GOD FOREVER.!!!
Thank you for talking about this. I have had overwhelming anxiety since I had COVID. I'm getting help but it's hard to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it what is going on and how hard it is to just function when you are anxious especially when you have no idea why you have it. The one thing I do know is God is in control and tho I dont understand it he will use this for good and he is working even if I dont feel it or see it.
Anxiety and depression go hand in hand. Take care of your precious self 🙏
I wish I could go to your church. Churches have failed to ever help in this capacity and continues on not helping the wounded sitting in the sanctuaries.
Pastor Louie,
Thank you for so many great messages and especially this one. I heard you speak this live at 515 at 9:15 Sunday. it was incredible to see how everyone was glued to each and every one of your words. I, too, have been in the darkness you describe and am only here today because Jesus IS okay!
Can you please also address another non PC subject? The number of opioid overdose deaths for 2017 was 70,237, mostly our youth.
Praying for all those who struggling right now. Jesus is the answer. With Christ you can overcome. Whether he uses medicine or not, speak the words of Jesus over yourself
Yeah what they do really hurts. Thank you for sticking with me Jesus! You are all I have left. 😥🙏🙏
Jesus LOVES us this we know❣️🙏🏻❣️
@@pastorjohnsonsuleman3341 This is a scam.
Love this message. Some people try to make it sound easy and many times it feels it it not. I thank god for guiding me. God bless!
Hi 👋 fellow follower of the Lord. 3 times while listening to this video I was sharing my belief and study of the 5 red heftier that were brought to Israel from Texas 9 months ago. And this minister said like 4 words the same second I was thinking 💭 it or typing it in my Facebook post about the second coming of Jesus Christ. 4-5x he said words that I was typing 💬 or thinking 💭 about in my Facebook post. I believe that is the daily bread 🥖 that comforts me. I just want to share that with everyone 🎉
October 2022, I needed this. Thank you Louie
