2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I personally experienced how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️ To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU. He wants to help you and give you peace. Please surrender your burdens to Him and allow Him to move in your life. "Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him." (Psalm 91:14-15) Please hold on to this bible verse because WHATEVER GOD SAYS, HE FULFILLS. 🛐

John 14:6, “6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Very well put…but you failed to mention the name of the son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ…the only name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Failing to say His name in that long testimony of yours signifies shame about Him and the Bible says if we’re ashamed of Him, He’ll be ashamed of us on judgment day. We call upon Jesus for salvation, healing and deliverance, and He answers because He’s a living God. JESUS, JESUS, JESUS! Don’t forget that name!

God will prosper you, even if he has to bankrupt you to do it. God will give you a hope, even if he has to crush all of your other hopes first. God will give you a future, even if he has to imprison you with incurable paralysis and a life sentence of thick darkness that can be felt. Get ready to suffer. Brace yourself for pain. That's the only way you'll make it through.

I'm sorry, continued... (Which actually adds to our guilt) I grew up white (as white can be) in a middle class home where everything was lovely. It for 21 of my 67 years I go to bed at night asking the Lord that I not wake up in the morning. I have a beautiful son, a grandson that I worship the ground he walks on. But I still fight the dark on a regular basis. 21 years I have tried every medication there is. I have tried TMS.

Don’t really think it’s a black or white thing when it comes to admitting to depression. Any famous person admitting to it runs the same potential risk of potential rejection and damage to reputation. Fortunately, that doesn’t really seem to happen. In fact it seems to enhance the persons reputation, fortunately.

@@pippipster6767 I think they meant because there's a stigma about black males expressing emotions. All males really, but I've noticed a difference in response to a male acknowledging emotions, and a black male acknowledging emotions. It's like people praise one, but don't care when the other does and that leaves room for the toxic masculinity assholes to pick on them more bc no one's defending them.

Gen 1:27. "And God made man according to His image and likeness and gave them authority". That got lost through the fall of man. But is freely returned by Jesus Holy Blood and Holy Spirit IN us. The Gospels were written by man like you and me. Eyewitnesses that saw God walking this earth in Christ. Healing all, raising the dead, casting out demons, controlling nature. He said: "If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. You will understand that the Father is IN me and I am IN you. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and will give you power. The same miracles I do, you will do too, etc ,etc". It is in John 14 up to 17. It is the ultimate conclusion of Gods word. Jesus, born by the Spirit of God, filled with the Spirit of God....... God manifested on earth in a human body. Completely normal btw. In Genesis He made man according to His own image and likeness. So what's the big fuzz that Jesus could not be the exact image of God in the flesh? He just is. Evenmore. Now by His Spirit we transform back to the same image! Hence the countless miracles i already have experienced. God has come full circle! "As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë = divine life again." Rom 5:18 The divine life the first Adam let go of has been freely returned to us by Christ's blood and Spirit. Because your imams never understood this, they mock, scoff, put it down, contradict it.... leading you away from your true identity in God. Heartbreaking. Same happens in Christianity btw. Most Christians think it is all about trying to do good, dodging hell and going to heaven some day. Heaven already came down in Spiritform, for you to be indwelled by, be changed and walk in unselfish divine power and love. "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom]. And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed *into His image* from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:17‭-‬18 AMP
