Things have happened in my life where I've cursed God. For a long time, I've been a faithless believer. I simply searched up how to forgive God and this was the first hit. I got caught up in all the trauma and noise of my life and expected God to roar his responses, to shout over the noise, and so I grew angry and scornful when I got no response, or when I got a response I didn't want, when all along, I wasn't listening closely enough. I don't know if I have the capacity, but I'm sure as hell going to try to reconcile with God. Sorry for the text wall, bit scattered right now.
Very powerful message. Thank you. I needed this today, it’s been a rough year and I’ve been blaming God. Holding a grudge. I know that he has his hand in what I’m going through for a reason. Trusting in Him always, all my faith is in Him and His plan. 🙏🏼
Sometimes when you in it you don't see it. We have to remove the religious mindset that has been taught to us that you can't unload on God. What a freeing message. Love Pastor Craig (Strong) heart for The Lord and His People. Thank You for what you do.
You know Sheila I believe every single human being has had desires and ask God in prayer for something and that thing never came to fruition. It happened in my life my career I was trying to work for for four years at least. I don't know I feel like holding a grudge against God. I'll tell you what Sheila compared to eternity in Paradise nothing in this life really matters. Wow wow wow we are going to have everything we've ever wanted on this Earth and 1000 to a million times more for all eternity. Sheila... Just hang in there.salvation belongs to those who endure until the end. This is what the Bible says and I think in that statement it is a warning that we will not get everything we ask for in prayer just because we think we will receive it or deserve it. Eternal Paradise that should be our focus
Hearing that he may not had caused me heart much trouble. I am being tormented by demons and I may not be delivered and hearing that others may not be healed has made me recognize the promises of God I seen in the Bible may not come to pass for me or others.

This has been a powerful message series. First time I've left every service in tears of joy for letting go of things from the past and forgiving others including God!
This sevice sent triggers to me that were dormant for far too long..my husband withheld us from having kids, 1 young adult son with autism and 2 miscarriages and I am bitter now....I always wanted to be a mother and it seems I have been unjustified...fighting tooth and nail to have babies to no avail...and NOW at 44 he wants to foster a child and now is when I began to go back to finished my career since I was consumed with our son..No! I need to do me now ..and whichever way I am bitter and resentful now...hope God removes things from me..
I will pray for your heart and that God will remove the bitterness from you. From this brief window of your life, I commend you for being honest and forthcoming with reasons for your feelings. May God hear you, and embrace you, and remain in your heart and by your side, and be glorified by you. Thank you for sharing your heart.
I am sorry Ana for the losses you feel. God has the best plan for each of His children. We won't find it until we trust that and are seeking Him 1st in our lives. Matthew 6:33 has that promise. I hold to it. God is not done. Foster children may be where God is leading to grow you to the next level. We never know if we say " No"
Thankful that I can wrestle with God and not let go when I don’t understand. God has been good to me even though He hasn’t given me all that I’ve prayed for.
This is such a great message. Not many analyses on forgiving God and this is so fundamental to our trusting God. How can I think of Him as being loving when I think, "Where were You God when all terrible things were going on in my childhood and my siblings'?" Where are You now in our greatest need? Thank you, Pastor. What I get here is that it is not so much as forgiving God, but holding on, grappling with Him, being honest with Him, trusting Him because He is Who He is. Showing up and being with Him and letting Him unfold Himself because He Being Who He is, will do so. Amen.
Pastor, I am so sorry to hear about the trials. You and your family have been going through!!!! 😞 AS I have looked at Christian pastors, it seems like the more they do for the LORD,. the harder that old Serpent hits them. Many deaths.... I'm really sick too.. but Anyway, listening to your preaching has helped me a LOT recently, as I have wrestled with all this. God bless you and yours. Thank you for being so faithful.

Hello Pastor, just wanted to thank you so much for being a servant of God. You do not know how much this message has blessed my life today. I’ve been battling within and because of fear and shame and other things the enemy has kept me captive. I have not been able to find a breakthrough and after hearing the second part of this series I wept and wept and wow, it feels so good to let go and surrender. Thank you for being obedient to our Father and for bringing this message to ppl who are lost or have strayed away from God like I had. My past sins have kept me from entering his presence again but that changed today. Just wanted to thank you for being his hands and feet and for ministering to my spirit.
Your series is awesome and I enjoyed each one. They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, and a pastor at a local church we attend has been preaching your sermons recently. Your work is an inspiration and your church is a blessing.
I was diagnosed with psoriasis arthritis when I was 32 yrs. I have been angry with God. I have forgive God but understand why this happens to me. I haven't given up that God to bless me with healing.

You don’t know how much this means to me. I found you through Mandy’s page. I not only have the same illness but I am a pastors wife and we have been under vicious attacks because of my illness. We are in this waiting period. I appreciate this so much.
What a blessing! We're so glad you were able to find us from her channel! We are also praying for you as you are in this season of waiting! Praying for divine healing and strength for you! Jasmine Life.Church Pastor
Ken, I’m glad you’re here, and thanks for sharing how you’re feeling. I am so sorry that you’ve felt abandoned by God. We don’t always “feel” God’s Presence, but He is always with us. He never leaves us. He waits patiently for each of us to call out to Him. The most amazing thing is, we were all created for a purpose! He made each of us perfectly for our purpose. “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalms 139:14 NIV Today, Ken, my prayer for you, is that you will know God is right beside you, full of love, and waiting to hear from you. In Jesus’ name, Amen. We’re here for you should you have any questions. And again, thanks so much for sharing with us. ❤️ Keli - Team LC “Whoever finds God, finds life!”

When we say, look what I have done for you my lord, we are speaking from a self righteous spirit, when we bring forth our hearts to God, we bring our feelings to God, and this the spiritual content of our hearts, in this, we must see where we are coming from, because this is the truth of our spiritual self, if I say Lord look what I have done for you, then will not the lord reveal my self righteous heart, because I have done nothing for the Lord, what I have, the Lord has done for me, not I for the Lord, and we say many things like these concerning our selfish spirits, or our ignorance concerning the spiritual state of our hearts, in this, God reveals to us what we lack spiritually, the things that need to be circumcised from our hearts, to transform us into the image of the Christ, so when our hearts are circumcised from the sinful nature or the things pertaining to the flesh, then the spirit of god dwells within us in its fullness, in this, it will give life to our mortal bodies, it is not a matter of just expressing our feelings, it is a matter of growing in spirit, from glory to Glory from light to light, and in this, we will find healing.
I just want to say thank you so much for this much needed message that I so needed to hear. And right on time......TODAY!!! Special thanks for Ashley from @AshleyandChase @tilvacuumdouspart for sharing this on her channel. She's definitely a GOD send.

Be with him mightily, bless him with all he needs, we love you Jesus and thank you in advance for all that you will do. In Jesus name! Myriam - LC Social Media Team
I have never wanted a miracle - just God to help me to understand why he has left me and my family alone since my daughter died 18 months ago. I don’t want a miracle I just want to know why God is not the caring father who is supposed to be the best father. I don’t want a miracle I just want God not to test my faith but to tell me my daughter is with him and is safe. I don’t want a miracle; I just want the God who I learnt about in Church and throughout my life.
Your daughter is absolutely with Jesus in heaven. The Bible is clear on the fact that the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. For comfort dear friend look for testimony of those who have seen children in heaven during near death experiences. It has brought me tremendous comfort and faith to know my child is in heaven with Jesus and God the heavenly Father, playing in those majestic fields and rivers in utmost joy and love, awaiting and looking forward to YOU being there with her one day if you stay near to God and don't allow the enemy to steal your salvation through the lie that God is not good and not in this with you. Randy Kay's channel is a great place to start.
Thank you for openly sharing about the grief you’re experiencing right now. My heart went out to you as I was reading all you have faced. We’re praying for you, and we’re here for you. If you’re looking for encouragement as you navigate this difficult time, you can check out others’ stories here: finds.life.church/tag/grief/ - Meli, Team LC
Can someone help me? This started strong but I not hearing a resolution or reason other than keep doing the same thing with no guarantees or understanding as to why nothing's getting better.
Seeking God 1st in all things in our lives is the answer. Trusting that His timing is perfect and staying in peace as we hope for His best in our lives is the day by day minute by minute reality of this message.
I'm glad Craig didn't give an easy or trite answer, because there aren't any. The truth is none of us knows how long our personal season of waiting or struggling or trial will last, which is what makes it so tough, and is the very thing can cause us to lose hope. I'm currently wrestling -with God- my way through a difficult health situation (4 years in) and I've no idea how long it will last, but I have learnt so much about who I am in Him, and more importantly about who He is: His unchanging nature, faithfulness, provision. There are days of despair but also days of great growth, peace and even joy.
There’s no third choice. No one in their right mind is going to choose Hell. So what choice is there left? We HAVE to choose God. If there was a third choice, I would take it IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!
Patrick, Thank you for so bravely sharing part of your story with us. If you’re looking for wisdom or resources from people who’ve experienced similar struggles, you can find those here: finds.life.church/tag/abuse/ Patrick, I do not have words to answer your questions. I’m so sorry for all of your hurt. I want you to know that God loves you more than you may know. GOD IS LOVE! He created you for an important, unique purpose that only you can fulfill. I’d like to encourage you to reach out to God, and tell Him what you’re thinking and feeling. He’s waiting for you; He just doesn’t want you to run away. ABOUT THE GRUDGE The past doesn’t always stay in the past. Sometimes, you carry it with you.

I heard the message, and it angered me. I'm coming from a place of deep anger, hurt and bitterness. God is considered an all loving father, right? And we are his children, right? You are a father, right? Not all loving, but you love your children, if you found someone raping your child, you would intervene, wouldn't you? Why then didn't God "the loving father" intervene when I was being raped? It's a question that gnaws at the very marrow of my soul. I am very bitter and wounded.
Hi Marcus. I can feel your hurt and although I don't have a perfect answer for you as to why this happened to you, I still empathize with you. We would love to get you connected with one of our pastors to talk with you about this! If you are interested, please let us know by filling out this form -- go2.lc/careform Stevie - Team LC
Hannah should have prayed for a faithful husband. Faithful not just to her but God too. He did not believe in God and committed adultery. Why didn’t God give Hannah a better husband.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel God has given up on you but He promises He'll never do that: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh." Matthew 7:7-8 I pray that you'll see God really is alive and working in your life. ~ Bre LC
Hi Annie I was just watching the three promises from Life Church and I saw your comment and I can completely understand where you're coming from I'm in that situation right now as we speak praying for almost 20 years for something to happen and it just doesn't happen I don't know what your situation is but I guess the Lord is using it I don't see how he's using my situation but we can't see the big picture being a Christian isn't easy sometimes he leaves us in places but his glory we just have to push forward and keep trusting having that faith in him maybe my trial is to keep me close to him that's why he doesn't take it away cuz if he does I could have hear from him the thorn in my side might be just keep me close to him and at the end I would say it was worth it but it doesn't make it easy you still want things to be taken away I hope you're doing it much better that reply that you sent was 4 months ago so I hope all is well God bless Jesus loves you always
this has nothing to do with God,God has done no wrong, no blaming him,let no man say when he is tempted,"i am tempted of God" for God cannot be tempted of evil.neither tempteth he any man,plus its not about you being angry at God?? a grudge against God?what?this is man made, God said they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth,and thats not a reflection of Jesus,and thats justifying anger against God,and that(1 Samuel 1:8) doesn't suggest she wanted it to happen her way,this is a man made teaching spoiling Gods spirit in what he is saying,there is no such thing as God like unto a man and if you are not born of God,there are wages for sin death ,because the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness because there is no such thing as Forgiving God according to you,you think God is like unto you when there is a chasm between you and God,that's why you need God to receive the wages of the one under the law so that you can be at peace with God receive sonship through the adoption of Faith through Jesus' blood to obtain that peace,and be clothed with his imputed righteousness as a cloke,only through the name above all names Jesus Christ otherwise you are blindguide of the blind,leading the blind in need of being saved,who needs to repent and have Gods seed conceived eternally inside of you through the washing of regeneration and renewal the holy Ghost,thats why you need to let the Word of God divide asunder soul and spirit and joints and marrow and be born again,these are clouds without water waves driven by a tempest "healing", from something Gods hasn't done, healing from what?from being angry at God?what?? these doctrines are wells without water,they dont actually conceive or perform anything,if at all there was no difference between this and a football game,the only difference is that it sounds smooth but does nothing Romans 16:17 ,by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple,its not the spirit of truth nor his works,this is all flesh and blood and chasing the wind the prophecy of the scripture testifies against these words that they are vanity and will mix Gods truth with water,and wont carry anything,no matter how many times you hear this message the scripture of truth bears witness,you need to be purged from all inquity because this is not in present contact with the truth its outside of his eternal truth,nice things but without salt, romans 16.17kjv, 2 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Why is marriage SOLELY WIFE BASED??? I thought marriage was man and woman. Marriage is nothing more than a dead end, solely in favor of the women. Just sad.
Jay, not sure what offended you about this message, but we don't believe that marriage is a lopsided relationship. In a healthy marriage, both the husband and wife sacrifice for each other

I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior and I give my life to Christ
A good sermon. Especially if you are struggling with this to the point where you wonder if there are “haves” and “have nots.” with God.
Really honest, yes really really angry, and holding a grudge.
Amen
Very powerful message. Thank you. I needed this today, it’s been a rough year and I’ve been blaming God. Holding a grudge. I know that he has his hand in what I’m going through for a reason. Trusting in Him always, all my faith is in Him and His plan. 🙏🏼
Amen! Thank you for sharing. Have a great week!
Amen And God Bless You All 🙏
Good sermon.

Message received into my heart. Live isn’t easy without God
Thank you for this wonderful "grudge series" you enlighten my mind, heart and soul, amen.
I have taken my pain to him several times!
Hearing that he may not had caused me heart much trouble. I am being tormented by demons and I may not be delivered and hearing that others may not be healed has made me recognize the promises of God I seen in the Bible may not come to pass for me or others.

Thank you for the message.

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR. Thank you and bless you
Amazing preaching 🙌🏻
1.) A waiting season is not a wasting season
2.) God's delays are not necessarily God's denials
I love your sermons, i wish you had way more views and recognition
I can understand Hannah's agony. God has never been involved in my life. 54 years and counting.
Ken,
I’m glad you’re here, and thanks for sharing how you’re feeling. I am so sorry that you’ve felt abandoned by God.
We don’t always “feel” God’s Presence, but He is always with us. He never leaves us. He waits patiently for each of us to call out to Him.
The most amazing thing is, we were all created for a purpose! He made each of us perfectly for our purpose.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Psalms 139:14 NIV
Today, Ken, my prayer for you, is that you will know God is right beside you, full of love, and waiting to hear from you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We’re here for you should you have any questions. And again, thanks so much for sharing with us. ❤️

Moving forward I’m only forgiving God, I can’t find forgiveness in people because people are intentional a**holes.
So glad you have joined us, @Xx xX!
Following Jesus is ALWAYS right🙂
John 2:24 TPT
But Jesus did not yet entrust himself to them, because he knew how fickle human hearts can be.

"Whoever finds God, finds life!"
When we say, look what I have done for you my lord, we are speaking from a self righteous spirit, when we bring forth our hearts to God, we bring our feelings to God, and this the spiritual content of our hearts, in this, we must see where we are coming from, because this is the truth of our spiritual self,
if I say Lord look what I have done for you, then will not the lord reveal my self righteous heart, because I have done nothing for the Lord, what I have, the Lord has done for me, not I for the Lord, and we say many things like these concerning our selfish spirits, or our ignorance concerning the spiritual state of our hearts, in this, God reveals to us what we lack spiritually, the things that need to be circumcised from our hearts, to transform us into the image of the Christ, so when our hearts are circumcised from the sinful nature or the things pertaining to the flesh, then the spirit of god dwells within us in its fullness, in this, it will give life to our mortal bodies, it is not a matter of just expressing our feelings, it is a matter of growing in spirit, from glory to Glory from light to light, and in this, we will find healing.
I just want to say thank you so much for this much needed message that I so needed to hear. And right on time......TODAY!!! Special thanks for Ashley from @AshleyandChase @tilvacuumdouspart for sharing this on her channel. She's definitely a GOD send.
We're so glad these messages are speaking to you! Praying for an abundance of blessings!

“Whoever finds God, finds life!”
A message I needed to hear. I didn't realize that I've been disappointed with God. I have said, God, how about me? When will you heal me? On another note, where is this church located?
Praying for you during this season as you begin to trust God in new ways!
We have quite a few locations that I'll link below! If you're not close to one of our locations, we also have Church Online that includes worship!

There are things married people shouldn't say to singles but do.
I have never wanted a miracle - just God to help me to understand why he has left me and my family alone since my daughter died 18 months ago. I don’t want a miracle I just want to know why God is not the caring father who is supposed to be the best father. I don’t want a miracle I just want God not to test my faith but to tell me my daughter is with him and is safe. I don’t want a miracle; I just want the God who I learnt about in Church and throughout my life.
Your daughter is absolutely with Jesus in heaven. The Bible is clear on the fact that the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. For comfort dear friend look for testimony of those who have seen children in heaven during near death experiences. It has brought me tremendous comfort and faith to know my child is in heaven with Jesus and God the heavenly Father, playing in those majestic fields and rivers in utmost joy and love, awaiting and looking forward to YOU being there with her one day if you stay near to God and don't allow the enemy to steal your salvation through the lie that God is not good and not in this with you. Randy Kay's channel is a great place to start.
Also John Burke imagine heaven.
Thank you for openly sharing about the grief you’re experiencing right now. My heart went out to you as I was reading all you have faced. We’re praying for you, and we’re here for you.

Can someone help me? This started strong but I not hearing a resolution or reason other than keep doing the same thing with no guarantees or understanding as to why nothing's getting better.
Seeking God 1st in all things in our lives is the answer.
Trusting that His timing is perfect and staying in peace as we hope for His best in our lives is the day by day minute by minute reality of this message.
I'm glad Craig didn't give an easy or trite answer, because there aren't any. The truth is none of us knows how long our personal season of waiting or struggling or trial will last, which is what makes it so tough, and is the very thing can cause us to lose hope. I'm currently wrestling -with God- my way through a difficult health situation (4 years in) and I've no idea how long it will last, but I have learnt so much about who I am in Him, and more importantly about who He is: His unchanging nature, faithfulness, provision. There are days of despair but also days of great growth, peace and even joy.
I felt the same seems like a pointless sermon
I pray for you just know God protect you Amen Hallelujah 🙏🙏
🙏
How can you forgive God when He's sovereign? Make it make sense please?
There’s no third choice. No one in their right mind is going to choose Hell. So what choice is there left? We HAVE to choose God. If there was a third choice, I would take it IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!
😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

I want you to know that God loves you more than you may know. GOD IS LOVE! He created you for an important, unique purpose that only you can fulfill.
I’d like to encourage you to reach out to God, and tell Him what you’re thinking and feeling. He’s waiting for you; He just doesn’t want you to run away.

What is the name of the song? Loved it 🙌🏻
It is "You Are" by Life.Church Worship! You can listen on Spotify, iTunes, or here: th-cam.com/video/yspGtoYLbdE/w-d-xo.html
God save my life two years ago , What’s the name of that song ?
God even forgives satan
I heard the message, and it angered me. I'm coming from a place of deep anger, hurt and bitterness.
God is considered an all loving father, right? And we are his children, right? You are a father, right? Not all loving, but you love your children, if you found someone raping your child, you would intervene, wouldn't you? Why then didn't God "the loving father" intervene when I was being raped? It's a question that gnaws at the very marrow of my soul. I am very bitter and wounded.
Hi Marcus. I can feel your hurt and although I don't have a perfect answer for you as to why this happened to you, I still empathize with you. We would love to get you connected with one of our pastors to talk with you about this! If you are interested, please let us know by filling out this form -- go2.lc/careform

Hannah should have prayed for a faithful husband. Faithful not just to her but God too. He did not believe in God and committed adultery. Why didn’t God give Hannah a better husband.
God has been such a disappointment in my life he never answers my prayers I really tired of this life can't take it anymore
I'm sorry to hear that you feel God has given up on you but He promises He'll never do that: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh." Matthew 7:7-8 I pray that you'll see God really is alive and working in your life. ~ Bre LC
Hi Annie I was just watching the three promises from Life Church and I saw your comment and I can completely understand where you're coming from I'm in that situation right now as we speak praying for almost 20 years for something to happen and it just doesn't happen I don't know what your situation is but I guess the Lord is using it I don't see how he's using my situation but we can't see the big picture being a Christian isn't easy sometimes he leaves us in places but his glory we just have to push forward and keep trusting having that faith in him maybe my trial is to keep me close to him that's why he doesn't take it away cuz if he does I could have hear from him the thorn in my side might be just keep me close to him and at the end I would say it was worth it but it doesn't make it easy you still want things to be taken away I hope you're doing it much better that reply that you sent was 4 months ago so I hope all is well God bless Jesus loves you always
this has nothing to do with God,God has done no wrong, no blaming him,let no man say when he is tempted,"i am tempted of God" for God cannot be tempted of evil.neither tempteth he any man,plus its not about you being angry at God?? a grudge against God?what?this is man made,
God said they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth,and thats not a reflection of Jesus,and thats justifying anger against God,and that(1 Samuel 1:8) doesn't suggest she wanted it to happen her way,this is a man made teaching spoiling Gods spirit in what he is saying,there is no such thing as God like unto a man and if you are not born of God,there are wages for sin death ,because the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness because
there is no such thing as Forgiving God according to you,you think God is like unto you when there is a chasm between you and God,that's why you need God to receive the wages of the one under the law so that you can be at peace with God receive sonship through the adoption of Faith through Jesus' blood to obtain that peace,and be clothed with his imputed righteousness as a cloke,only through the name above all names Jesus Christ otherwise you are blindguide of the blind,leading the blind in need of being saved,who needs to repent and have Gods seed conceived eternally inside of you through the washing of regeneration and renewal the holy Ghost,thats why you need to let the Word of God divide asunder soul and spirit and joints and marrow and be born again,these are clouds without water waves driven by a tempest "healing", from something Gods hasn't done, healing from what?from being angry at God?what??
these doctrines are wells without water,they dont actually conceive or perform anything,if at all there was no difference between this and a football game,the only difference is that it sounds smooth but does nothing Romans 16:17 ,by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple,its not the spirit of truth nor his works,this is all flesh and blood and chasing the wind the prophecy of the scripture testifies against these words that they are vanity and will mix Gods truth with water,and wont carry anything,no matter how many times you hear this message
the scripture of truth bears witness,you need to be purged from all inquity because this is not in present contact with the truth its outside of his eternal truth,nice things but without salt, romans 16.17kjv,
2 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Why is marriage SOLELY WIFE BASED???
I thought marriage was man and woman.
Marriage is nothing more than a dead end, solely in favor of the women.
Just sad.
Jay, not sure what offended you about this message, but we don't believe that marriage is a lopsided relationship. In a healthy marriage, both the husband and wife sacrifice for each other
