Honestly the person I am isn’t the person I would like to be but what’s most different is that I can’t change I want to go to a higher level in my faith and become sanctified and just start living more for Jesus each day but I just don’t see change and that’s the hardest thing for me when I just reflect each day in my prayer time and all of me wants change but I just don’t see myself changing bc of the distractions of this world and my inability to just slow down and follow the WAY and join the yoke of Jesus

🙏Hi @Walker Martin! Thank you for sharing with us. I just wanted to encourage you to keep praying. Do not feel the pressure to change immediately, because change happens overtime. You might not feel like you’ve changed yet but if you stay consistent in seeking Jesus, he will change you. Remember Jesus said “seek and you shall find”. The devil will try to convince you that you are never going to be able to be closer to Jesus. But this is not true. God is always with you. He’s never left you and will never forsake you. We’ll pray for you too🙌 “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬ bible.com/bible/116/rom.12.2.NLT -LC Team (Martina)

We’d love to invite you to Life.Church Online, too. 90+ services are available throughout the week, so you’ll always be able to find a time that fits your schedule.

Satan puts those thoughts in your head. Cast your cares on God, forgive everyone for any wrongs (because you deserve to be free of it… the pain…give it to him to collect on that debt) pray for forgiveness and let it all go.. you will find peace… However you will be under spiritual attacks as Satan will do everything he can to shake your faith.. He uses your mind and your thoughts emotions against you. Next time you are sad or angry or discouraged say aloud… I belong to Jesus…Satan get out of my head in the Holy name of Jesus I bind you and cast you out of my life! You may have to cast him out many many many times but he and all his negative emotions will leave you. He torments us with our fears and weaknesses.. he puts lies in our minds

Earlier today I thought in my heart, and then said out loud - "I'm tired of this life". And it wasn't coming from a desire for self-harm or suicide or even to end it all, but a desire for change... This sermon came up in my feed later on and it was The Spirit groaning in the words that I could not, in those earlier moments, properly describe. We can really be well-intentioned and just be so wrong about the "how" that we end up frustrating ourselves and the move of God in us and through us. Thank you Pastor Craig for this Word that was perfect in the "how" of its delivery and right on time for a wretched saved-sinner like me. God continue to bless the ministry that He has birthed and is working through Life Church and your leadership 🙏🏽

I’m tired of working and being busy as a pastor and I can’t be a mother and a wife, I avoid being stress at all costs but I don’t like who I’m becoming ... “come to Jesus and find rest for your soul” I needed this. 😔 Thank you Jesus! 🔥

I am angry at God as I see him giving to others things I have begged Him for for years. I still talk to Him because I know He hears even though He does not answer. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Friend, I feel you. I found myself at a similar point for a few years and just now it seems like dawn is breaking on a very long night and dry season. All I can say is what is true though it hurt and irritated me at those moments where it seemed like God was furthest: hold on. God hasn't let you go, He does care and He is doing something in spite of it seeming like nothing is working. In the meantime your job is to stoke the love you had for Jesus at first and keep praying and keep seeking Him. You are precisely in the right place if you're among believers whose faith can feed yours. Also learn to let go of your expectations of God, so He can show you new ones. I came back to a verse recently in Joshua 1 that the Holy Spirit had showed me a long time ago and I realised that the meaning had changed because I stopped trying to get God to "work" for me like He did before. And there was so much comfort, strength and joy in that realisation that I was going to discover God differently as I wrestled through this season. Keep wrestling. He will transform you. He is transforming you.

OMG this is amazing. I have been fasting and praying for a while now and for the past 4 to 5 dayd i have been feeling a littke deeplited and down. And last night was the highlight I failed to even finish a chapter i was reading. But in my spirit this morning I knew and felt like i eant more of Jesus. Like something is missing then I watched a tiktok talking about how we never acknowledge how following christ can actually affect us and why we never talk about dealing with that change and how to maintain it without feeling like we are tiring away. And that’s when i decided to come online and listen to a preacher. How amazing that the spirit actually led me to this particular one. Thank you Life church God Bless you always. Pray for me to not tire but seek God always and never loose sight of his grace and goodness in my life. May all my distractions loose authority over my life.❤️

Thanks so much pastor for showing us all your hurt and heart. It takes strength and love for others to be so open and relational with us. No matter what you encourage us all and truly God is using you through everything you and your sweet family has gone through. Good and bad. Thankful that He is still there even when we feel He isn't. He is there in the valley and on the mountain top. Prayers for you, your family and ministry. All to Jesus I surrender.
