What is one way you could pursue intimacy with God this week?

I don't really feel at home in any of my local churches and have alot of "religious trama" so I'm forever grateful that I found your sermons a couple of weeks ago..Even though I grew up in a loving chistian family..Your sermons has helped my reignite my faith ❤ I finished reading the whole Bible the first time this January..I'll be rereading it for the rest of my life..Thank you God and thanks to this church ❤

I ask God to heal my body

I choose to surrender my life to Jesus today!

I would ask God to heal my depression and anxiety

The only one thing I asked really of God is to let me and my loved ones into heaven.

I would ask God for perpetual world peace Or An end to all sin.

i would ask God to take care of my and my family on this earth, and we all enter heaven

I would ask God to restore my relationship with my daughters.

I'm going to chace after Jesus Please Lord help me to become more like you

Ever since childhood I could never feel connected to God. I still find it extremely difficult at times. Many a times I didn't feel like going to any church. Please pray for me as I am going through a difficult time in my life. And help me find faith again.

I remember back in 2019 when i was stuck in addiction. One faithful day i was just scrolling through my youtube feed and i saw life church. My life has not been the same ever since i started tuning in and listening to a sermon on the channel. God bless Pastor Craig, his ministry and the church Life church. God thank you.

To save. My family so they go to heaven.

Thank you for the word! Amen

I'm grateful to God for making me come across this channel yesterday night🙏

I want to think ahead

I would ask God to get rid of all bad mental health

What a struggle...obeying God is the hardest thing I have ever wanted to do..Jesus I desperately need you✌️♥️🙏

In my prayers, l always thank the lord for the gift of wisdom that he has entrusted to Pr. Craig through His word.

Mercy !

Jesus I’m surrendering my life to You

You know what I’d ask Him for? To send Jesus to take us home. Then all my wishes would come true in just ONE wish. Me and those I love would be healed, no more pain, worries or sadness. No more human trafficking, no more sin.

Every time this man gets it.I love pastor Craig.Thank you so much for what you do!

Create in me a clean heart oh God psalm 51 verse 10

Thank you God for sending your Son Jesus .To dying at the cross for me.I pray for my children to know you..Thank you Jesus in your precious name.Amen

I need his presence when I wasn’t even aware I wasn’t walking fully in his presence

I WANT TO THINK AHEAD!

Pray without ceasing 1 Thessalonians 5 verse 17. Spending more time praying and meditating on the word of God Amen 🙏 powerful message Praise God 🙏

Please pray for me

In the 1960's and 1970's I was raised in a very, very strict Southern Baptist Church. As a child and young adult, I felt the preacher yelled and screamed at us every service. He yelled we were sinners until his face was red a big vein would pop out of his forehead. He was so angry at us. He made us feel God's rath was coming upon us. He would tell us our duty in life was to serve God and others and never have a selfish thought for ourselves. We went to church twice on Sundays, Wednesday night prayer meetings, Thursday night visitations. We knocked on doors and handed out church newsletters inviting people to our church. Misery loves company huh? I've never got over that "religious trauma"? So, when I left home, I didn't go back. I'm a good person. Everything I am and everything I have is because of God and his love and influence in my life. I didn't leave God; I left the church. I believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit has influenced my life and I am saved, I am baptized, and I love God with all my heart, and he knows my heart. I feel his presence in life although like most I would like a closer relationship with him. I recently found your channel and I love your message and the way you present it. Maybe in your opinion this isn't a substitute for actually going to a church, but it's a good church for me for now anyway. Thank You for your messages as they lift my spirit and help heal my soul.

I have not always made best decisions either but my walk with Abba God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit have changed that. Now I ask Holy Spirit before making any major decisions and a lot of minor decisions.

The greatest gift that God can give you,is to give you Himself.

Lord I’m surrendering my life to you!

Everytime I watch this church's sermons , I'm convicted, I cry , and I have a change of heart❤

Wow this new series is wonderful❤

Amen. I am so much encouraged through this sermon.

I haven't been in church for a few years, lm so grateful for Life church and Pastor Craig's sermons l have a close relationship with the Savior l sense His presence it's so special to me ❤

God gives us strength to overcome all of our struggles we must keep faith even through our hardships. Only God knows the burdens we face. I’m a single mom and it can be hard to have everything on my shoulders. Especially because both of my sons are special needs but despite the challenges I face. I keep faith in Jesus even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. As christians that’s all we can do. Praise God because he will provide a blessing is always on the way.

Powerful word I needed this , I need you Lord , I’m Trusting in your Plan for me, I’m desperate for Gods presence. Thank you Lord for your love❤

I'm always desperate for God's presence. I thank the Lord for the Holy Spirit who counsels me! I am thankful for His Word! I make The Lord a priority and I choose to make it a priority over and over again.

So blessed to here this messages ❤

Pastor Craig, thank you for your love for Christ and His church. Thank you for delivering the Word with much tenderness and love. Always proclaiming annointed messages! Thank you. May the Lord bless you, your family, and your ministry all the more. You are able to preach to viewers from the other side of the world! I'm listening from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Salamat po!

Craig since you have giving inspiration. I pray so hard that sometimes I cry because I would like my family to be closer together and my grandson to give him his eyesight he’s blind I would give anything for him to see your sermon. Today was so beautiful and emotional to me. it hits me in my heart I believe in Jesus God, the Holy Spirit so much and I want him to love me and embrace me. Amen.🙏🙏

I would ask God to deliver my brother from his drug addiction

I am a people pleaser. Lord help me..🙏🏽

GOD will give you and your family what HE knows you need from HIM in this season and every other season @Pastor Craig.

This sermon reminded me of my favorite song we used to sing at my church growing up. "I need you. You need me. We're all a part of God's body. Stand with me, agree with me we're all a part of God's body. It is his will that every need be supplied. You are important to me. I need you to survive. I pray for you. You pray for me. I love you. I need you to survive. I won't harm you with words from my mouth. I love you. I need you to survive. It is his will that every need be supplied. You are important to me. I need you to survive." ❤

Help me spend more time with Him. In praying fervently ❤

Please Pray for me brother I’m in a battle right now with demons 🙏 ❤️

I’d ask what my purpose is 🥺🙏🏾

I'm desperate for Jesus presence in my life 🙏💚

Praise jesus❤

I have aPentecostal background I love the church I am going to now the people in it is so genuine more so than I have ever seen they have a love for the kids in the church building them up. I wish my kids had so I stay but the sermons on Sunday are so hard to follow they pretty much just read the word. They’ll explain some of the scriptures but I miss the passion of a sermon. I miss the excitement that the pastors had like they were literally talking to me. I just never felt like I got enough so lately because I do need the body of Christ, I’ve been sitting to where I can have a earbud in and I don’t listen to another Pastor that has that excitement. The last sermon Pastor actually was going along with the sermon that I had in my ear so had a lot of notes and I was able to go home and meditate on them. I grew up in church, even though my dad was the pastor and very abusive thinking I would never be good enough I was gonna make it to heaven anyway God was a mean God and I’m so grateful my father in heaven didn’t leave me there and was able to learn the love of God through the next pastor. I definitely need. I am desperate for him because my heart is broken. Three of my six kids do not believe there’s a God and if he is real, he’s mean4 of 6 are following along with the world about this transgender crap and it is breaking my heart it’s making me physically ill, so yeah I’m pretty desperate for God. My oldest daughter is going through a divorce it’s ugly, but most of them are my five year-old granddaughters in the middle, but they do believe in God and they pray, my granddaughter will call me and ask me to pray for her. At least they know this is a great series for me because I have been struggling.

Every morning when i wake up i hear every sermons n it’s helping me alot 😢 i want to be more close to God

My wife took two of my daughters to church this morning while I stayed home sick with our youngest. Really missing the church this morning. Great service and praise GOD!

I pray to Jesus Christ are LORD and Savior to help me bring back brothers and sisters back home to the kingdom because I was deceived not by just the enemy but my self this flesh and I don’t wanna see my brothers and sisters perish I don’t wanna see ABBA grieve his children going down to the land of the dead I wanna help ✨🙏🐑🕊️😇💕🔥

Wow, wow, and double WOW! Pastor Craig has really hit home with me here in this sermon! He covered SO many aspects of life! I've been listening to Pastor Craig for years, and all of his sermons bless me, but this one is quite powerful and exceptional! Thank you, Pastor, for your love of God, your passion for His Word, your dedication to the church, and for your willingness to keep on preaching and pastoring, despite your challenges. I will be praying for you and your family regularly. Really. God bless you!

The word I need to get in the word more

I really needed to hear this🙌

I really needed this today thank you so much

Pastor Craig, I was BLESSED by GOD when HE just put you there in front of me! One day I turned on U-Tube and what do you think i saw, I saw a page to turn to Life Church, Pastored by Pastor Craig! The message was How to Overcome Temptation? And that was the beginning of my journey in life listening to the messages from Living Church! LORD, I GIVE YOU PRAISE! THANK YOU LORD! 😀👍🎯✝️🙏✝️🎉👊😀‼️

Lord use me in your work

I would ask him for his audible voice whenever he speaks to me

Big blessings for You all❤😇

Me too❤

God just need you

Pastor Craig. I am delighted to have been laid to your church videos. I have not been a member for a church for many years more because of fear and anxiety that has been with me my whole life. I Love God with all my heart and have a daily relationship with Him. I pray for the church’s of today because many have lost their way. Please pray for me and my family. Blessed be all your days. 🕊️🙏🏽🙌🏾🙏🏽🕊️

Praise the Lord. Sermon was bomb💣 to me, amazing. God bless you

I want to think ahead!

Thank yo so much

Amen ❤

To always be there for my family and myself cause we need him

Our lives should be spent in the Church

I would ask if God could take me to heaven with Him

Thank you for still continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. God is definitely at work behind the scenes and I am longing to see it in the flesh. 

Awesome Pastor C. Pace yourself sir..

I need you, God. I want to be close to you.

Praise God! Thank you Pastor Craig 😊

Amen 🙌🙏

This is very good and true message

Pastor Craig always has great messages. This one was especially meaningful. I always try to focus on my Bible study but I really want to increase my prayer life with God. I need to pray more often than I do to have that personal connection. I pray multiple times a day, but I feel like longer talks with him will help fill the oil in my lamp 🙏🏻 ❤

Today is the first day I couldn’t go to church due to health issues, but that doesn’t stop meme from from listening online! I hope I can find church friends soon ☺️

God Bless you Craig. Watching from Calgary ALBERTA Canada

Yes

Aren't We The Followers And Children Of JESUS Just Being Together And Talking/Teaching Each Other More Of JESUS And GOD, Aren't We The Church?

And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments exodus 20/6

I would ask God to end evil. That would eliminate ALL things others asked I feel

The Psalms Are Davids Love Letter to God

I need God presence

I need God to touch my child Vallery's heart and mind, and we are desperate for HIS love in our house

I would ask GOD to let Me die. I don't want to be here.

amen that 🙏

My brain is my own worst enemy. I have listened to Winning The War In Your Mind. Next I am going to sit down and read it and complete the assignments. So here is my question (as someone who has been chasing a relationship with God for more than 25 years)....how/why would you be desperate for God's presence if he is always with us/never leaves us/etc.? I am not being snarky. I am someone who has asked God to make his presence known 1000x more in the past year than I have in the past 20 years. And yet.... nothing

Pray for me during my walk with God my name is Zaria❤😢

I choose today to surrender to jesus

I hope God gives me peace
