You always word things in such a way that they make more sense than others explanations have in the past....your "time of life" wording is the more beautiful way than what I had heard from other speakers as well as in my own interpretation of the same concept. God surely has you right where many of us need you to be.. THANK YOU for your service!!!

*These words are not mine.* These are the words the Ruach HaKodesh (YAHUAH's Set-Apart Spirit) uttered through me when I prayed to YAHUAH; asking him what *he wants* me to say, knowing the truth. To his chosen: "Know that YAHUAH is the name of the Most High and YAHUsha is the name of The Son. Come out of her, my people, who have fallen to the deceit of Constantine. Who know not my name and say they love me. I have made myself known. I have heard you and I am here. There are many who are yours to be saved. I am he who knows all that you are. Come to me, here are they who are mine. Make haste to come, here are we. Give in to them who speak of me, they are yours. I am here for you. Know that all is for them, here are we. Give not to them that are against me. I am he who sees all you do. Come to me out of her, all are here for me. Do what I say. Out of her, come. All are here." Exodus 3:13-15 KJV 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. John 5:43 KJV 43 *I am come in my Father's name,* and ye receive me not: *if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.* 2 Corinthians 6:17 KJV 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and *touch not the unclean thing;* *and I will receive you.* Isaiah 52:6-7 KJV 6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 KJV 1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) Romans 10:1-3 KJV 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Romans 10:13-17 KJV 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 *How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?* 15 *And how shall they preach, except they be sent?* as it is written, *How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. *For Esaias saith,* Lord, *who hath believed our report?* 17 *So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.* Nahum 1:7 KJV 7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and *he knoweth them that trust in him.* Hebrews 3:15 KJV 15 *While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.* Isaiah 52:11 KJV 11 *Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing;* go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. John 14:15 KJV 15 *If ye love me, keep my commandments.*

Thank you Ken for sharing your conversion story. Quite similar to mine, but in my case not knowing what was going on in my life, when I was in college, going with the flow. And continuing to lead a life not pleasing to God...quenching the Holy Spirit. My body which is God's temple was tainted, until about 2 years ago when I met a priest who guided me in my faith. I was sick...he got me to go for confession ...which I hadn't gone to in over 35+ years. I cried just like you as I went through this process...and that was when I felt the hand of God touching me and knew that He loves me so much. In all those years, He was there waiting and watching over me. My conversion is still ongoing but I feel peace and loved by my Father in heaven. Peace and love eluded me for so long. Am trying to see God in all situations in my life. I praise and thank Him for never giving up on me and saving me from the carnal life I led for so long. Blessings to you, Janelle and the kids.

I had a similar experience, in fact I've had it a few times in my life because God had to keep reaching out for me. This last time I believe it will stay with me for the rest of my life. I pray it does anyway. I'm so thankful He never gave up on me. I wish I was stronger, wiser and had listened with the fullness of my heart when I was younger. I wouldn't have hurt Him so much. Thank you for your testament Ken. I admire you very much. May God never be disappointed with you. God bless you and your family always.

You did a great job explaining the gospel from last Sunday. It was inspired. Thank you. Yesterday I had an experience which reinforced the concept of surrendering to God and trusting Him. I as on my way to the store and I kept hitting red lights. The second red light I hit I thought to myself, “what is going on with all these red lights. What’s wrong with this.” Then a thought came into my mind, maybe God is protecting from an accident by delaying me with these red lights. So I calmed down. The very next red light, right in front of me, there was a terrible accident in the intersection and if I had not been delayed it would have involved me. God was protecting me and showing me that I can trust in Him even if things don’t seem to be going my way.

I experienced a similar revelation when I had everything I thought I wanted and I was miserable. I called out “God, if there is a God, let me die.”. Suddenly I knew, I felt, GOD LOVES ME! God is real and God loves me. Wow, what a life changer! That was 55 years ago, I’m now 82 and that day is as real to me now as it was then.

So many of your presentations are truly inspiration and touching, but this one really got to me. Your sincerity and conviction are so powerful and deeply moving - you weren't the only one crying. What a beautiful and insightful concept that "each of us is enough for God, and that Jesus heals our emotional pain and that it then comes out our eyes." Thank you and Janelle for bringing us all closer to Christ. May God bless you and your lovely family!

That was so beautiful Ken! I can totally relate because 7 years ago I too had an awakening moment with Jesus! I was a Catholic all my life, felt very close to Jesus as a child but went VERY wayward as a teenager. I pretended all was great til I met my husband. We got married civilly after less then a year. And BOOM i was miserable! We were fighting. Our dating bliss turned into alot of difficulties. Why? Because we built our relationship on attraction and fun. Not God and true love! I cried out to God for help and to “show me the way!” I actually didn’t quite understand the mortal sin i was in. After about 5 years i met a babysitter for my 1st daughter, by the Grace of God, who taught me much about the faith and the love of Jesus. But though it was much needed I was learning more “rule of law” like you said Ken. “If I do this then I get that. If I do this sin, I pay back etc.” I still had no clue what TRUE LOVE was. Or should I say WHO TRUE LOVE IS. That friend got me onto the road of faith and I an forever grateful but I had much more to learn. She died after my 4th child was born. By the Grace of God she persuaded me to stop birth control and get married in the Church which we did 8 years after my civil marriage praise Jesus! After her death, i was in God’s Grace but still needed to understand true love. Not simply avoiding sin and following the rules. My marriage still had problems. Then fast forward, about 22 years and many prayers later, at a morning Mass i shook hands for peace with the Sacristan who I didn’t know. Later that day at coffee with a friend this same man came in and started talking to my friend while i was stepped away. I came back and he was talking about Jesus and his wife in Heaven and all kinds of things that I hadn’t heard too many people say since my friend the babysitter. He spoke about having a relationship with Jesus and how Jesus TALKS to Him and some Saints including the Blessed Mother who he called Mom. I was intrigued and somehow KNEW he was for real! Then he looked away like he saw someone and was talking to them, and then turned directly to me pointing and said “Jesus says HE LOVES YOU!” I immediately felt like a beautiful dagger or arrow hit my heart and started crying because I somehow KNEW that it was true! For the 1st time in my life or at least since I was a small child, I KNEW I was TRULY LOVED! We stayed very close friends until his death 5 years later in 2021. He was put into my life to teach me and show me what or WHO TRUE LOVE IS! It is JESUS. My friend would always say “it’s all about you.” Now I understand that! It means that Jesus loves me as if I am the only one on earth! Sound familiar Ken? It’s TRUE for all of you too! It’s all about YOU in Jesus’ eyes! Ask Him to show YOU the way. Believe me. He WILL-in His good timing. 🙏❤️

Hi Ken. I’ve recently subscribed to your channel and I find you and your lovely wife a Breath Of Fresh Air. I don’t seem to have a lot of time to listen to you and other things I’m subscribed to because I spend a lot of my time Praying 🙏 for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, the Holy Rosary, Precious Blood of Jesus Christ and Divine Mercy. I try my best to do that every single day. I’m bed bound and I suffer greatly every day with pain and this body of mine wants me to give in to it but i won’t. I know that I’ve still got a lot of work to do in teaching my grandson about Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Blessed Lady Mary and Our Heavenly Father. Three of our grandchildren suffer with Autism and it’s difficult to keep our oldest grandchild interested in the stories i tell them about the Holy Bible. The second grandchild is more open to my stories and he wants to know more every time he comes to stay with us, every other weekend. Most nights I’m awake and when morning comes, I feel so down hearted. I begin to Pray 🙏, by the time I’ve done, I feel so happy 😀. The Precious Blood of Jesus Christ and Divine Mercy are in song. I could go on and on, how it makes me feel so Happy 😃 but I won’t. Thank you 🙏 again for being so lovely and your faith brings Hope, peace and Love to a great deal of people who are suffering with their own problems. God Bless to you both 🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️

Ken, the comment of the time if life God enters really struck me and is comforting. I have enjoyed God's consolations at least 3 times in my life but through sin then reconcilation I feel like I am always starting over which I am in a sense. I guess I feel regret that I didn't spend a lifetime close to Jesus. But we know to God it doesnt matter, because we are here now, we keep picking ourselves up and going back to our Father and Brother.

Thank you for sharing your story. I really felt your message when you said there's no scale of performance when it comes to God's graces and love. I think that's where I am sometimes, thinking I need to do something pleasing to God to get his attention, even though He has constantly shown me that he will give unconditionally. I want to shatter the scale but I think I still feel unworthy of what He did for me in some way ...

Recently, parents at my granddaughter's Catholic school found out that an openly lesbian couple has their son enrolled in their preschool. Obviously, one of the reasons why these parents choose to send their children is for Catholic teachings. How should this situation be addressed by the parents. The administration of the elementary school is aware and accepting of this couple attending their school. What is your opinion having an openly lesbian couple at a private Catholic school? Thank you
