My Father is so amazing! I have been planning to file for separation as my marriage has been under attack since 2019 and my spouse has basically given up on us. This morning I open YT to see this sermon staring me in the face. I usually listen to sermons daily but haven't listened to one in weeks! And the first time I open the app in weeks this shows up. God, I know You're speaking to me...but please strengthen my faith for complete healing and restoration in my marriage because right now I am struggling to believe. Thank You for being such a good good Father. Thank You that my children will not grow up in a broken home. I claim healing and restoration for my spouse and myself.
Rebekah, please submit a prayer request so our team can lift you up in prayer: www.tfaforms.com/5000290
Amen
This has been on my watch later for weeks and oh man what a great message it was! I’m not married yet but this blessed my relationship even more. Thank you GOD. Amen 🙏🏾
Touch and agree
My wife left me 9 months ago. After 5 years . I fixed my finances, I changed my career, became cleaner, realized I didn’t show her enough attention,changed everything that made her walk away, Most of all I grew my relationship with God and till this day I pray for God to have Mercy on My Marriage and bring us back together. Some say don’t waste your time but deep in my soul I just know there. Is something still there. With the help of these videos I can guarantee if God brings us back together we will be stronger.
Can everyone please pray for us.

How are things 11 months later ; I pray God restored your marriage
When I got home from work last night, my husband was gone. We just celebrated our 8 year anniversary literally 3 days ago. I could feel him slipping due to my lack of ability to show love and affection. I do not want my marriage to fail. I love him more than anything. And I know he loves me. Please, Father, bring my husband home. In Jesus name. Please pray for us, church. Please. I'm so lost and so broken.
How are things now? I pray God restores your marriage
Pastor Michael Todd is real this message will really help marriages. He is honest about his marriage issues when so many pastors try to sweep their issues under the rug. People need to hear real talk from people willing to admit real issues.
Please pray for me and my marriage. Thank you all in advance
Jesus, I pray and ask that you step in and handle whatever the issue(s) may be. You know what is needed. I ask for covering right now in your name, 🙏 🙏 🙏

❤🙌 God will heal your marriage
Needed this right now...separated from my wife right now. In a fire , I lay prostrate morning and night crying out to God to restore us. My faith is in Him...he is fighting for me. We will be planted by the still waters and become strong and produce fruit. I see it, I know it. Please pray for us
Brethren, pray for our marriage 🙏🏾
I need prayer. All I can think about is leaving. It’s so much easier 😢
His Grace is sufficient for you, His strength is made perfect in weakness
You are not alone. Yes God WE need a miracle 🙏
Rebecca I am with you and often feel the same way…felt this way last night after arguing with my husband. It’s the attack of the devil to cause us to lose focus. I have to remind myself to immediately go to GOD and pray when I feel that way because I cannot control anything but GOD controls all.❤
He said, " They all messed up " ! I love being real and appreciate REAL!!!
Amen! God is so strategic in all he do. He planted this seed at the right moment
This is my marriage. BUT God, i know and believe that you will bear fruit in every season, in Jesus Name.
We are planted and not burried! We are under but it is not over!
AMEN!
Same, amen
If we want to get over our mess, we have to get under the headship of the Holy Spirit. God is able to feel, heal, and restore! - Mrs. T

Lord my marriage has been under for 3 years, living separately it’s UNDER. I felt like it was planted so God will make an example out of us but he feels like it’s buried. His faith in us is wavy. I believed greater was going to come later but now I’m ready to divorce. God give me strength!!!! Help me father .

WOW! This message made our day. Please feel free to tune in anytime!
you should be happy you're not married. Being single is undervalued, Yet if you're single you're a freeman or freewoman. You're free of any convenant - you're free to live you life the way God wants you and how you want.
Please pray for my marriage.
WOW!!!!!! EYE OPENING
Please Lord help me and my husband get it together!

watching this video crying about my marriage asking God why me? I feel like my marriage is a mistake . My husband hasn't given me any assistance in the home since June I have been doing everything alone the car I have I got it without him and been making the payments and insurance by myself he got upset when I told him he couldn't take the car that I pay for to a family reunion and leave me and our kids home without transportation he has a seasonal job and got his first check today he spent his check on what he wanted and didn't give me anything .😞 Everyday with him is like walking on eggshells .
May God heal you and your family,comfort you and show you what to do to restore your marriage in Jesus Name(Amen)😇🙏💙🤗
May God open the door you need to walk through. 🙏🏿 Lord, convict his heart and give him a heart for You. Lord, protect her heart. Plant each of them by Living Water. Hello then to hear Your direction for them each and for them together. 🙏🏿

🙏🏼Let Us All Pray: God I ask You in Jesus' name forever and always bless Pastors Michael and Natalie Todd to come to know You better, understand You more, and make You known. Bless each of them with the love, desire, strength, and spirit of obedience to always obey Your Word and will for their lives. Bless them to be doers of Your Word and not just hearers, readers, teachers, and preachers of Your Word. Strengthen and bless them to live their lives for Your glory, approval, and applause. Bless each of them to have and operate with a God-solution-focused heart, mind, spirit, and attitude. God deliver and heal each of them from everything that is in their lives that is not of You. Bless them to prosper, have excellent health, and continually grow in the grace, knowledge, wisdom, and love of Christ Jesus. Let them always walk in the character of Christ Jesus. Be with them as a mighty warrior. Let no weapon formed against them ever prosper. God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of this prayer, all those I love, and myself. God bless us all to fall in love with You, be a light in this dark world, lifting You up God in the lifestyle we each live. God please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so. Thank You, Jesus.
Amen 😢

Long and short of the matter is, die!
Except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains alone.
God said it's not good for us to be alone. That means it's not good for man to not be sacrificial...
Notice that Adam had to die...
Many are alone in marriage because they won't die... to become the sacrifice needed to elevate their lives and produce their blessings/partner. And particularly the man. The man will always receive the revelation of God's intended provisions (truth) but if they resist it, they go astray. And they resist it because they don't want to give up their own way. When they're ready to let God have his way, that's when the miracle happens.
Why are you alone?
But what if you feel that Jesus wants you out of this relationship… I asked him, please give me signs for this to continue or discontinue. The next day, it just kept getting worse. What should I do…
Peace be still. Have you suggested counseling? I totally understand but it takes 2. Lord have mercy 🥺 🙏
Please please please please please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Lord
Amen father I desperately need your help in my marriage and in my life
when and where in the Holy Scriptures did the SOVEREIGN GOD ALMIGHTY say that?
Fruits
Please pray for my family. My wife doesn’t appreciate nothing I do and can’t see past her own feelings. I can tell her how I feel and she has the nerve to tell me that I am making things up. SMH she wants a yes man instead of a real man.
❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
I just heard it in a message that God uses your crap to fertilize your promises.😂🙌🏼💞
😂😂😂😂 right
Why did she say to him that he makes her sick for? There is obviously a reason she said that.
A true broken vessel!
Yeah sure call my x wife tell her this 🙄 and her 3rd man she left me for taking my kids away
Be very to critical here Pastor Todd is just talking with no depth or background. He didn't explain the other half of the picture. Why his wife said what she said. No women don't say that unless something he said or done or didn't do. Many cases married people need deliverance and be planted in a Word church and applying the Word to their lives. Prayer in the natural and in the Holy Spirit for the person and, partner, and kids.
If you Michael Todd would preach like this you would be good. God's word. But you gotta do your spitting in your hands and rubbing it on someone's face. You gotta do your prosperity gospel crap. You gotta put the focus on you and not on God. Get back to the honest man, confessing his sins and preaching God's word.
When going under what?
I do not want to invest 24 minutes to find out what the "under" is, in case it is something lame.
Becoming the sacrifice is what he's talking about.
@@ngreat4390 Going UNDER the SACRAFICE?
If you don't want to invest 24 mins into your marriage...that just shows how much your marriage isn't worth it to you. Pro athletes don't get to where they are by not practicing...you have to put in the work and the time and invest in your marriage for it to sprout and grow into something beautiful.
@@togodbetheglory3353 Who said I was married?
@@Rancid-Jane I don't know if you're married but...this is a marriage video and a marriage channel so assuming you are either married or maybe looking at this channel for your future marriage. Regardless if you are married or not, my point still remains the same either for your current marriage or future marriage.
Who even listens to Michael Todd anymore after he got exposed?
Exposed for what ?
Me I love watching him. 😁
I do… sure do.. Stop listening to gossip and lies.. this man is the real deal 🎉❤
@slickcross. Wonder what would happen if you get exposed. 🤔
@@gracej5806 Yes,he is
Make Todd is someone that needs to repent. He is not a pastor, he’s a glorified speaker.
They normally say not to give attention to people who are clearly looking for it but I can’t help it. I have to use the Bible and Jesus to ask this, although you are making a great a suggestion about him repenting (which is by the way is the relationship between him and God) my question to you is, have you taken your plank out of your own eye? Furthermore, as Jesus asked he who without sin cast the first stone… I find it quite interesting you called him a glorified speaker I think you might have a problem you might not be looking at him a human but as someone who is not capable of making mistakes. And of course if he is teaching the word of God we hold him in a different standard and because of the status he is in he and other pastors in the limelight are more susceptible to the jezebel spirit.
And you know this because you are the fourth person in the holy Trinity.......pls go take several seats😏😔😒.....If someone should place a scrutiny over your life I can only imagine what they will dig up🤔🤫🥱
That part sis!👏🏽👏🏽😁
Find another pastor if you feel that way. Why are you on this channel? He has help me in many ways. So please exit the stage left!@William sanchez
Boy why him tho? This guy has said some unbiblical things in his teaching and you guys support him😭🫤😢
Grace and Peace to you. Have you ever taught anything unbiblical? How about your pastor or others who teach you?
@@lark8356 so it’s acceptable for him to teach things that are problematic to the body of Christ? Because why? He’s a “pastor” shepherding God’s people in all his teaching nothing leads people to Christ, his message are men centered and is associated with all the false teachers and false prophets. How does bible support this? Please enlighten me on this. I just want to know at least one scriptures that says a pastor is okay to teach things that unbiblical and Christ centered????? I’ll wait 😴
@@b.eunice I'm still waiting for you to respond to my questions. Of course, you don't have to do so. They've accomplished their purpose, which was to encourage you to think through the logical conclusion to the standards that you're applying to XO Marriage. It's important for you to consider what might happen if you applied those standards to yourself or others who you allow to have influence over you.
@@lark8356 I’m not a pastor so I don’t go out there calling myself a preacher. I’ve made mistakes in life but when it comes to God’s work I read His word as it is and speak about it as it is. So there’s the answer to your question. It doesn’t change my claim. The Bible states that these “leaders/shepherds” will be judge on a higher standard due to their role. So again my point stands. This man is a false teacher and his teachings are very problematic to the body of Christ. Your point isn’t helping if you don’t have scripture that supports your claim than there’s no need for this back and forth.
@@b.eunice I have no scripture to support my claim because I didn't make a claim. I'm simply encouraging you to apply the measure you use for XO Marriage and Michael Todd to yourself and your tribe and see what the ramifications of that would be.
“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use. Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye? Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:1-5 CSB
Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure - pressed down, shaken together, and running over - will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Luke 6:36-38 CSB
This is so good
Amen
