I have been reading the Bible nonstop for 1115 days, finished the entire Bible 3 times in 2020 as I was suffering symptoms of PTSD. I thank God for helping me overcome all the delusions and fears because of His Word. Matthew 6:25-34 is my favourite. It is the Lord who provided, and I accepted it. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who deserves praise, glory and honour.

Realizing my identity in Jesus literally saved my life. I was raised by narcissists and the image of which I saw myself did not match how Jesus sees me. Learning the power of relationship with Jesus has been the miracle that has saved my life. I am so excited to be His. I'm getting baptized on July 10th. A new birth certificate. I am not the daughter of narcissists, I am the daughter of The King of Heaven. I do not need to beg for scraps. I am a princess, I was born to lead people to Jesus so they can be healed through His love, just like how He healed me.
Good point, I have to change my thinking… I too was a child of narcissist which is the spirit of Jezebel… it’s not they fault they were possessed and intern my son had to suffer from my childhood trauma but as you said I am no longer that child I am a child of the most high seated on the right side of Jesus Christ! Thank you for your comment and that Jesus for his blood 🩸 all is buried under the blood… I’m sitting hear sad for my son and realizing my not wanting to be among mean ppl and isolated from family… I don’t want to be alone from ppl anymore, I need to keep recognizing who I am now and step out on faith ❤
To Dave & Cheri It's hard to imagine strangers caring for others but, your losses and pain matters to me and other christians. I'm so sorry. You are both strong to even talk about it. God is our strength and refuge.

Listening to this at work and Pastor you're touching my soul because it's exactly what I thought. I was a victim of rape and I absolutely blamed myself and said there was something so fundamentally wrong with me that I couldn't distinguish between good and bad people and it was my fault - it was because I was broken. I absorbed all responsibility for someone who take away my choice. This is such an important message! Because it's so easy when you go through trauma to end up blaming yourself.
Heart is with you. So Sorry you had to go through such a bad ordeal. World can be evil. God bless you and give you strength and forgiveness for the future.
I pray the Lord heals you, brings you comfort and peace in Jesus name ❤️ I know how easy it is for the enemy to put that on us. It’s a struggle, but the Lord can and will set you free in Jesus name!
Jesus help my friend Nguyen. It's hard down here sometimes. We just need a hug from Yourself( however that would work. ) I ask for courage and for perspective.

I came back home in 2015 at the age of 61 to care for my elderly mother. After 6 years mom passed away in her home of over 60 years at the age of 85. I did everything I could to make mom comfortable and make her environment peacefully. Even when it became hard as the 24/7 caregiver, GOD always gave me the strength to keep going. The entire time I was caring for Mom my family members constantly and consistently criticized everything I was doing for Mom. One of my brothers who lived close by treated Mom and me like an ATM machine and when mom passed he immediately started sending me text messages demanding I give him money. The texts have been coming 4 and 5 times a day for over 30 days. Calling me names and threatening that he has an attorney. I can’t even grieve Moms passing for dealing with all the criticism on how I did the funeral and everything I did for mom. I protected and shielded mom from as much negativity that I could. This sermon has blessed me. Thank you Pastor Rick.

His perfect love "wrapped in forgiveness" defeats evil over and over. "Father, help us to embrace such a gift to see Your wonders!". Love you very much, Dearest Pastor Warren.

Am I ever glad I came across this and decided to listen to it! The deepest questions I've ever pondered, finally an answer to them that properly explains it. Thank you so much, Pastor Rick Warren, for this message. I needed this!

Thank you Pastor Rick. I know that I love God, because it is my choice. Through His Grace and Mercy, God accepted my husband to leave this life when he had no where else to turn. He prayed to Jesus that fateful morning, begging Jesus to accept him that afternoon. But what do I do in the meantime? I praise and worship Jesus, because you recommended Rom8:28. It is STILL very difficult, but I am maintaining with Jesus at my side. AMEN

Hi Charmaine. Evil is circumstantial and not that simple. 2 Reasons for evil. 1) Evil did not exist before Richard Allen Davis kidnapped 12 year old Polly Klass, on a whim, from her bedroom in front of her slumber party friends. He raped her at a different location and killed her when he was through. 2) The second reason is the "whim", the thought to kidnap her. When this thought entered Richard Allen Davis through impulse, he could not control this impulse's excitement. These impulses and our inability to control them is one of the big problems with humanity. I will say these "impulses" are set into us by god as part of the curse (not the Adam and Eve curse). It's the we are "fallen" before we are born curse that obliterates innocence and who we really are, individuality. This is why Free Will is, never was and never will be available to humanity. Psalm 51:5 - Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. The impulses that Otty Sanchez had she could not control when she butchered her three week old son, ate some of his toes and parts of his brain. God is responsible for allowing Otty to be born with this future ahead of her - God, to Christians, is omniscient, so he witnessed Otty cutting into the infant as it was screaming from the initial slices and chops. God was not absent according to Christians. He was present as he watched the Canaanites being butchered. Is God willing to stop evil, but unable? Then he is not powerful (god). Is he able, but unwilling? Then he is not good. Is he both able and willing? Then how can there be evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? Epicurus (February 341 BC - 270 BC)
It's hard to recover from the trauma as a child. I was drowned by my father as a child, I couldn't tell anyone. So many years I wasn't able to process it , I just had depression, anxiety. The pandemic gave me a chance to finally process it and remember. I just wanted a normal life why was I abused?
Pastor Rick .. thanks for this message. I'm currently experiencing a traumatic experience now. I just broke up with my bf. He broke up with me last Monday but before that we had series of fights and we always tell each other to break up. Today i told him I accepted his discussion. But its so painful because I built this bubble world that we have future together. 2 weeks ago he told me (after almost 2 yrs in the relationship) that he does not want to have kids and no plans of settling down. My world shattered but I still choose to be with him. Last weekend we had another fight. Monday he broke up with me. We still talk from Tues and Wed. Come Thursday I just texted him to say that I've accepted his discussion and that I want to move on. I feel its unfair that I ended in text (though he broke up last monday). Every time we talk after the fight I end up always feeling guilty because he always says that its always my fault. .. then I will patch up with him and saying sorry with guilt. Now I decided to just text him and disable my fb msgr... and move on. I know he loves me but I'm so traumatized every time we fight that he always blaming me. I feel that he is manipulating me and I'm hurting. Im feeling lost and broke. Your massage helped me calm down. Thank you.
"Yahweh bless you and keep you. Yahweh will show you His favor and be gracious to you. Yahweh will lift up His countenance upon you, and grant you His shalom/peace." Numbers 6:24-26
You're comment really helped me. I default to blaming myself for trauma dreams flashbacks and memories but reading your post helps me feel I don't need to be hard on myself for having bad dreams of trauma. God bless you.🧸

Thank you for this message. Being African I can say President Kagame is doing inspirational work of transforming how we handle conflict in Africa. May God continue to lift good leadership in Africa. Amen.
I am so sorry you are temporarily separated from your youngest son. I had no idea. But I have EVERY understanding of the hellish depression and fear he battled. I don’t know how your son felt spiritually, but I as a 69 year old who thought I was saved all my life now think I am abandoned and doomed to hell. It has been 7 years and I sinned my whole life. Now my eyes are opened and I am broken hearted beyond consolation. I am so ashamed that. I hurt the One that I truly love. I. All day I repent and seek God. I have not found 1 drop, heard anything, felt nothing. The Word condemns me. He is silent. Now I have cancer and must have 2 knees replaced. Is there truly a place where God just says He is finished with your fence riding? I think my mental illness, be it physical, spiritual, or both is a HUGE deterrent. I don’t know how much I can take either. My heart goes out to all the people who suffer from this and to their families who have to endure their hell too.
What do prople mean by that statement god can bring message out of a mess but how does a person get over the horror that happened to them eg effects life long of childhood abuse
Trust God. Faith. Read His word and seek Him. Begin to believe His promises in His word. Ask Him for more faith if you feel weak in Faith. But above all, just trust Him. Christ came for people like you and I who are crushed and broken. He CAN heal your heart. And He will if you allow Him. It's a promise.
Truly inspired by Rick's preaching. By the churches far reaching global hands and fingers into so many countries in Africa 🌍. The concept of no orphanages.. is wondrous. As the cultural idea is generally the child brings spirits of dead family members into new homes. So how have adoptive families kept adopted kids [Only Asking] In Zimbabwe daily genocide for the last 40 years as high ups pillage and more the beautiful country of mineral, average human, flora and fauna wealth. All the while villages being wiped out, abducted, killed trying to have voice. Forgive me. I have not heard you were here
I have a question so the Lady wearing a Yellow Coat already Ressurected and Got reincarnated? She said she came from genocide Incident that was during WWI? 19th century and this video is 2years ago . 2019?
Oof. Job 11:13-19 by Zophar was quoted out of context. God claims that this is not true: Job 42:7 After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.
So Love is a free choice and evil cannot be removed from the world because we have free will. Then why is there no evil in Heaven? Is there no free will in Heaven? And if God can bring us to Heaven where we freely choose to love Him, without evil, then why can’t He fix our world?
Free will is what separates us from the Angels. That's why Pastor Warren called it a blessing and a curse. We get to decide how to live our lives and unfortunately some of those decisions are evil. By the way we can go to Heaven. We just have to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Also as pastor Warren already stated if God fixed world He'd have to take away our free will which means we can't make the choice to love God. By doing so, we wouldn't have access to heaven.
I have been reading the Bible nonstop for 1115 days, finished the entire Bible 3 times in 2020 as I was suffering symptoms of PTSD.

Freedom to choose is real, as demonstrated by all the wrong choices we have made. Heaven will be filled with people that have chosen to love and obey God. What a wonderful, and terrifying gift , freedom. Make the right decision!

I'm thankful for Rick Warren for his words about life and God truly speak to me. I was surprised to hear about Rick's son commiting suicide this puts into perspective that great loss and Trauma can affect everyone in life no matter how devout to God they are. We are all human and we all suffer greatly at times. We are never truly alone. Thankful for all my blessing and everyone I have in my life♥️🙏
OMG. I can't fathom greater pain than losing a child 😢

Evil is not the opposite of God, but the absence of God.... There's a difference
Hi Charmaine. Evil is circumstantial and not that simple. 2 Reasons for evil. 1) Evil did not exist before Richard Allen Davis kidnapped 12 year old Polly Klass, on a whim, from her bedroom in front of her slumber party friends. He raped her at a different location and killed her when he was through. 2) The second reason is the "whim", the thought to kidnap her. When this thought entered Richard Allen Davis through impulse, he could not control this impulse's excitement. These impulses and our inability to control them is one of the big problems with humanity. I will say these "impulses" are set into us by god as part of the curse (not the Adam and Eve curse). It's the we are "fallen" before we are born curse that obliterates innocence and who we really are, individuality. This is why Free Will is, never was and never will be available to humanity. Psalm 51:5 - Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
The impulses that Otty Sanchez had she could not control when she butchered her three week old son, ate some of his toes and parts of his brain. God is responsible for allowing Otty to be born with this future ahead of her - God, to Christians, is omniscient, so he witnessed Otty cutting into the infant as it was screaming from the initial slices and chops. God was not absent according to Christians. He was present as he watched the Canaanites being butchered.
Is God willing to stop evil, but unable?
Then he is not powerful (god).
Is he able, but unwilling?
Then he is not good.
Is he both able and willing?
Then how can there be evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

How can God be absent when He is Omnipresent

Truth being the most critical part of recovery.
It's hard to recover from the trauma as a child. I was drowned by my father as a child, I couldn't tell anyone. So many years I wasn't able to process it , I just had depression, anxiety. The pandemic gave me a chance to finally process it and remember. I just wanted a normal life why was I abused?
Same here. Didn't want for much, only to have a loving family. It didn't happen. It makes me so sad.
Thank you so much. Just what I needed to hear. You made my night.
Such a wonderful message
Pastor Rick .. thanks for this message. I'm currently experiencing a traumatic experience now. I just broke up with my bf. He broke up with me last Monday but before that we had series of fights and we always tell each other to break up. Today i told him I accepted his discussion. But its so painful because I built this bubble world that we have future together. 2 weeks ago he told me (after almost 2 yrs in the relationship) that he does not want to have kids and no plans of settling down. My world shattered but I still choose to be with him. Last weekend we had another fight. Monday he broke up with me. We still talk from Tues and Wed. Come Thursday I just texted him to say that I've accepted his discussion and that I want to move on. I feel its unfair that I ended in text (though he broke up last monday). Every time we talk after the fight I end up always feeling guilty because he always says that its always my fault. .. then I will patch up with him and saying sorry with guilt. Now I decided to just text him and disable my fb msgr... and move on. I know he loves me but I'm so traumatized every time we fight that he always blaming me. I feel that he is manipulating me and I'm hurting.
Im feeling lost and broke. Your massage helped me calm down. Thank you.
Am going through an emotional trauma after walking out of a relationship from a lady who didn't appreciate my efforts
LOVED THIS Thanks
Rick i love you
God bless you.
I love to hear what he has to say
"Yahweh bless you and keep you. Yahweh will show you His favor and be gracious to you. Yahweh will lift up His countenance upon you, and grant you His shalom/peace."
Numbers 6:24-26
Hugs and love to all. I know how you feel as I have repeated nightmares everyday hugs all. God loves all and he sees and he restores your hearts.
You're comment really helped me. I default to blaming myself for trauma dreams flashbacks and memories but reading your post helps me feel I don't need to be hard on myself for having bad dreams of trauma. God bless you.🧸
@@LoveandHoney you're so welcome it's not your fault at all the devil is just evil and likes to guilt trip is and make me feel it's our fault and we are responsible for his evil
Yes I get that yet if I'm going to be hurt by not loving GOD is there really a choice?
Time to heal. 🙏🏻
I love Pastor Rick Warren and President Paul Kagame. They are great contributors to the human race.
What a humble President...
Without fogiveness its hard to die with hope
God is bring good from evil in Rwanda.
Love this
Excellent 😊
Thank you for this message. Being African I can say President Kagame is doing inspirational work of transforming how we handle conflict in Africa. May God continue to lift good leadership in Africa. Amen.
Praise the lord god people. amen
Steve is very brave for Jesus
While I totally get that evil exists because we make evil choices…how does that apply to an innocent child who dies from illness?
Amen🙌😊🙏
It's all good stuff regardless of your beliefs or church
Just how many traumatic experiences with Rick Warren have there been?!
Love you Kate
40 mins in and I haven’t heard anything about Jesus is the answer. 😩
Amen In Jesus Name
I am so sorry you are temporarily separated from your youngest son. I had no idea. But I have EVERY understanding of the hellish depression and fear he battled. I don’t know how your son felt spiritually, but I as a 69 year old who thought I was saved all my life now think I am abandoned and doomed to hell. It has been 7 years and I sinned my whole life. Now my eyes are opened and I am broken hearted beyond consolation. I am so ashamed that. I hurt the One that I truly love. I. All day I repent and seek God. I have not found 1 drop, heard anything, felt nothing. The Word condemns me. He is silent. Now I have cancer and must have 2 knees replaced. Is there truly a place where God just says He is finished with your fence riding? I think my mental illness, be it physical, spiritual, or both is a HUGE deterrent. I don’t know how much I can take either. My heart goes out to all the people who suffer from this and to their families who have to endure their hell too.
I don’t know what’s true. Am I always saved or can I lose it?
What is the truth???
What do prople mean by that statement god can bring message out of a mess but how does a person get over the horror that happened to them eg effects life long of childhood abuse
Trust God. Faith. Read His word and seek Him. Begin to believe His promises in His word. Ask Him for more faith if you feel weak in Faith. But above all, just trust Him. Christ came for people like you and I who are crushed and broken. He CAN heal your heart. And He will if you allow Him. It's a promise.
Please, where can I get Kegame's full speech text.
What would be wrong with there being no evil.?
以賽亞書63:9 他們在一切苦難中，祂也同受苦難；並且祂面前的使者拯救他們；祂以慈愛和憐憫救贖他們；在古時的日子常保抱他們，懷搋他們。

The US could use a bit of Paul Kagame's teaching and experience right now
Truly inspired by Rick's preaching. By the churches far reaching global hands and fingers into so many countries in Africa 🌍. The concept of no orphanages.. is wondrous. As the cultural idea is generally the child brings spirits of dead family members into new homes. So how have adoptive families kept adopted kids [Only Asking] In Zimbabwe daily genocide for the last 40 years as high ups pillage and more the beautiful country of mineral, average human, flora and fauna wealth. All the while villages being wiped out, abducted, killed trying to have voice. Forgive me. I have not heard you were here
I have a question so the Lady wearing a Yellow Coat already Ressurected and Got reincarnated?
She said she came from genocide Incident that was during WWI? 19th century
and this video is 2years ago . 2019?
Oof. Job 11:13-19 by Zophar was quoted out of context.
God claims that this is not true: Job 42:7
After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.
Can you post the time in the video so I can hear it? Thank you
I thought (I was told) that the Messiah is in charge of final judgment.
So Love is a free choice and evil cannot be removed from the world because we have free will. Then why is there no evil in Heaven? Is there no free will in Heaven? And if God can bring us to Heaven where we freely choose to love Him, without evil, then why can’t He fix our world?
Free will is what separates us from the Angels. That's why Pastor Warren called it a blessing and a curse. We get to decide how to live our lives and unfortunately some of those decisions are evil. By the way we can go to Heaven. We just have to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Also as pastor Warren already stated if God fixed world He'd have to take away our free will which means we can't make the choice to love God. By doing so, we wouldn't have access to heaven.
What is the price of the presidents present?
I got attacked randomly on the street I hope this will help cos nhs is shit
