Hi Jay, I shouldn't be surprised that God led me to your message today. My family is undergoing a great trial - my nephew Joel had an accident which has resulted in a massive brain injury. You reminded me in this message to remember who God is, His strength, His promise, His faithfulness no matter what happens. The god of this age has whispered fear into my ear, but from now on, when he does, I will say the words, "you're right, I am weak, but I look to My God, the One who made all things in the universe, and He is stronger than you." I hear your passion, your encouragement to us and thank God for His ministry who remind us to read again the life events of the people in His Word, to show us we are not alone ever, and that God will never leave us. Thank you.

Dad brought us up to keep the Sabbath as children, so when I was called into the family of God myself, I kept the Sabbath. But did I truly do all that God commanded? Honestly, hand on heart, I have to say probably not. I don't think I thought deeply enough about the Sabbath, just complied because it was a commandment to do so. Perhaps I thought that was enough? This message has reminded me that I need to truly meditate on the significance of this day and be eternally grateful for it. I have crashed into the Sabbath, not used Preparation Day as a day to get ready for the blessing of the Sabbath, but thankfully God is merciful and is teaching us through the ministry and His Word that we can and must do better. So thank you Paul for this message on the blessing of the Sabbath Day because it is a blessing that I will keep in the forefront of my mind.
Thank you Jay. An inspiring message reminding us of the love of God the Father and our Saviour Jesus Christ. If I am honest, I have not thought BIG when I pray. I have thought myself not important enough and because of my lack of self worth, my lack of belief that He would help me through difficult moments has probably always been on the fringe of my mind. Well that changes from today. I am going to pray BIG, and I am going to believe that God will help me. And if I have a moment of falling backwards into unbelief, I will think on that story of David and Goliath. What can man do to me, when My great God is with me, and in me. Absolutely nothing. He has the power and the glory.
We need these reminders of against whom we are fighting or striving against. We know who he is, the god of this age, but our brains just to want to see him as something fictional instead of a real enemy. Keep admonishing us. We need it especially in these dangerous times of evil being seen as good, and good being seen as evil. Thank you Jorge.
Thank you Jay for that truly inspiring message. I am going to visualize that blessing. I have always thought about His mother and how she must have felt but I never took that thought to her seeing Him again within that 40 days. That was indeed a beautiful gift from our Lord and must have lifted the sorrow immediately from her heart. I did cry tears of joy thinking about that reunion of mother and son.
What a revelation of truth you spoke in this message Patrick. I saw myself in a lot of the things you said. I have had miracles performed in my life - stones of certainty that I hold onto - but I have also had scoffers when I related them, which has made me stop talking about the miracles God has performed in my life as if I needed their belief to confirm it in my mind that they happened. I have not worried about things, then I have - like a yoyo back and forth. I am going through a trial at the moment where worrying about who will look after me financially or is God hearing my prayers because I don't feel I am getting an answer. So it's good to hear how we should be walking in this Christian life. We need these life lessons all the time. May the Father bless you with a continued inspiration on what His people need to hear and that you have the heart to deliver it.
Thank you Steve. I pray that our Father will give me and the whole of His family the courage to do what is right in His sight, to follow Him down the narrow path, no matter the consequences. I pray for courage and determination for all His people. We need to hear the narrative of Jesus, given to us by His faithful ministers. God's people need this type of narrative so please march onward Christian soldier (my favourite song by the way) and let us all listen who have ears to hear and become doers of the Word.
Thank you Steve for that inspiring message on the Last Great Day. I cried at the end, not from sorrow but from joy at understanding that everyone will have the opportunity to hear and see. Sometimes we look at the world and feel incredible sadness for our loved ones, knowing what is to come, but no one is lost yet. They will have a choice, just like us, to choose life and not death. It filled me with hope. Thank you also for the reminder for myself, not to be complacent, but to be a soldier for God, to stand for Him always and remain faithful as He is.
Thank you Rick for this message. I need to hear this more and more. I am living and working in a world dominated by fear and it crushes me at times. I need reminding who my God is, that He is with me and I don't need to operate in fear. Most of the time I operate in faith and trust but I do have moments of weakness where I allow negative emotions to enter my mind and fear creeps in. I tend to feel at these times that I am letting God down so it is helpful to hear that as long as I continue to fight fear and not give in to it, I am moving forward. Part of my daily prayer is to speak out the verse - who can stand against me when My great God is with me. This verse helps me face the day and the ongoing battles with fear, worry and stress. Please continue to remind us with strong messages on what we should be doing in our lives; bending to the Father;s will in all things. I started my day with this message and I am uplifted.
In this increasing world of knowledge and our own desires for knowledge, we have to be careful of not falling into his traps and snares. No one is cleverer than Satan, apart from God Almighty. Listening to this sermon made me see pride in myself, another wake up call to remember who made me, who lets me breathe each day and gives me everything to get through the day. He fills my omer with sufficient things every day, just like the Israelites received their omer of manna every day. I need to remember that with thanksgiving every day.
This is one I desperately needed to hear especially in this time of Covid-19. I see negative conversation about this everywhere, even on the Sabbath on Zoom, with no mention of God, not changing negative to positive, and it has saddened me. After listening to this message I realized that I have also been negative by allowing this to influence my thinking and change my attitude towards those I should be caring about, my family in Christ. A wake up call that was needed. Thank you Peter.
Be encouraged. I grew up in the Church, and like the prodigal son, thought I wanted the world but God knew best, and His timing was perfect. Yes, I had to go through loss and pain, and it took a long time, but here I am, back in the family of God. Never give up praying, never give up believing. I may have left the Church but God never left me. That's the same for all the children who stray away for a while. Hope is a wonderful gift. Never lose it!
I am not a student of ABC but when this message ended, my heart soared and in my mind I began to sing the song Onward Christian Soldiers. It was inspirational and the Holy Spirit within me leapt with joy. We have been given spiritual gifts and it is our responsibility to use them to edify our Lord Jesus Christ and each other and to take opportunities as God leads us, to show the world who we are by being courageous in our beliefs and standing up for God. I will continue to pray for all of God's people wherever they are in the world that we can unite in courage, commitment and truth and have eyes to see the opportunities that God give us everyday to show the world who we belong to, the gifted family of our great God.
Live as if it is your last day. It is so easy not to, to think only on physical things and what I own. Thank you Gary for that insightful explanation of the Book of Joel. I have visited the Kidron Valley; it made me think of that battle still to come. But your message has made me meditate on the battles in my life that are here, and may still come, and where my focus should be. So many times I look out of my window and wonder when will it happen as the world continues to turn and I admit I have wondered if it ever will. I feel, that this is one of the battles we face in this world, to keep our hearts on God and Jesus Christ at all times and not to fall into the trap of complacency and apathy.
