I'm one of those people who always have a positive look on life but it's only because of Yeshua
I understand though, there's some people like that who pressure others to do that but I'm one of the good ones with that outlook
I'll try to help but I'll also leave you alone if you want to be alone
There's good people out there like that 💙
Detroitish here!!!
Wow thank you our brother in the Lord Thanks so much for sharing your words of wisdom

6 decades on this planet and I have found the most magnificent Pastor of my entire life!!!
Mejor que me mandes para Guatemala soy yo
No me quieren dar nada sino es de ellos su dinero es mi dinero Pero le dije me demande un cheque mi casa y no voy a jalar pelo y me voy a ir
Hola amigo sabe que calle noticias cabrones ya le dije Nomás que me manden mi cheque a la mi casa sucesión y hay que se termine todo que quieren que fuerza va a ir Las Vegas y no me dan dinero ni me quieren decir dónde está aquí en un desmadre que me vaya para tu estado dije Nomás que me den mi cheque mi casa y está mirando el Facebook y hay que termine todo no quiero ver ni ver ni a Moreno ni agüeros

Thank you lord for your servant pastor Furtick
It’s a fruit of the spirit. It’s in us if we have the Holy Ghost. We receive joy as we pray in the Holy Spirit building ourselves up in our most holy faith. Happiness depends on circumstances
Thank you so much Pastor Furtick. I am struggling with grief from the loss of my aunt. It helps to focus on the fact that she lived a life that pleased God and had right relationship with Jesus. For that joy that was set before me, I’ll endure the tears of missing her. It doesn’t feel good but her purpose was greater. Now I can perpetuate the name of Jesus because she taught me all about him. Thank you! I needed that word!
Pretty sure this one just changed my whole life. ✌️💕✨

I do feel lonely most of the time you aren’t know what I mean by that I can’t hold a girlfriend and I just don’t know what to do about that but I am not willing to give up if I can find purpose of that to find a girlfriend or maybe a boyfriend I don’t know LSU can do a sermon on that of not knowing what you want in life and find purpose in it at least you can do a sermon on that at the least
Thank you..
I refuse to find joy in materialistic objects I lift my eyes to the lord who shall give me if I ask he will deliver in overflow
Amen
Ask god! Pray to him and wait for his sign or answer.
Amen! I know I'm watching this and a meaning to it for my life!
Temptations:Resistance, Trials:Acceptance. Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for your great knowledge to help me use the correct technique and not the wrong one. help me to always remember to resist my temptations and accept my trials. Thank you for waking me up this morning, you are the father of Jesus Christ, and you raise him up from the dead that third day, in Jesus’s name, Amen ❤️❤️🙏🏽
It’s been hard for me to try and get back to going to church but I love that I can watch you on nights after work when things are hard or good no matter the difference I just really have been enjoying watching you man! You say it like it’s real and you help people understand without having to dissect the Bible which can be confusing. Thank you. The last two or three years has been really hard and your message has helped me find my way back man! I just want a relationship with God again and you’ve helped me find that! Thank you!!
Amen
