"Never try to make sense of it while you're in it. You have to focus on surviving it, not understanding it."

If you rearrange the letters in “depression” you get “I pressed on.” Don’t ever give up. Your breakthrough is almost here.

Please GOD bring my 22 yr old daughter back home (Jeremiah 31:16-17) and reconcile us back together (Malachi 4:6). Amen

TD Jake's is one of the greatest men to ever walk the earth

I want God to bring my missing son please pray for us.

I love and respect TD Jakes . God has giving this man a kind of wisdom you just don’t see that often . God bless you ! 🙏

Thank you Bishop. I've had to lay to rest my wife of 18 yrs just yesterday, my son in 2004 and daughter in 2008. I feel alone even with family all around. I'm trusting God but it still hurts.

''when God starts talking you don't want Him to leave'' !!!!!

God turns pressure into power!! 🤯 what a blessing to hear!! Thank you Jesus!!

All I can say is "My GOD". I needed this today.

This message is for me, thank you bishop. I am in that crushing period and I don't know how but God.

Faith rises up even in the midst of fear, thank you, T.D Jakes

This blessed my heart, as I needed to hear this as my Father passed away 7 days ago I AM crushed and heartbroken. I trust God and his faithfulness.🙏🏽

Pastor Jakes, I appreciate you to the fullest♥️.. I read “Crushing” almost 2yrs ago and I’m going to pull out today and re-read it. You’re such a blessing in my life.

Bishop T.D. Jakes,I am speechless. He is absolutely knowledgeable and full of wisdom. 🙏♥️ What an amazing brilliant human being he is! 👏👏Thank you Bishop T.D. Jakes. God Bless you Sir!🙏♥️

I lost my beloved mother on October 6 2022 and I'm heartbroken 💔😭. I'm praying to God for strength, healing, and resignation soon 🙏🏻✝️😔

Sometimes we could feel alone in our life's to where we think that God has left us or have forgotten us, but I do know that for the things that we could go threw in our life's are meant to be to help us grow in to the child that God wants us to be, the gifts that he has in store for us, are blessing from above, when we're able to make him the center of our life's our faith will begin to grow stronger, but I know that there will be times that you could feel not valued, but with God he will be with you threw your lonely times, he will make you feel like you matter and that you are valued in life, we do matter we are his children and he loves us so much,

Bad things happen to good people because honestly we are not good. YAHSHUA said not to call him Good because there is no one good but GOD and HE is good all the time. GOD is teaching us and molding us and recreating us to become Good through our trials, tests and tribulations. Amen Love ❤ Shalom.

I'm in a long distance breakup, made my mistakes and proceed to Make the changes but realised that I should making changes through christ first. One year has past. The battle now is tough as I am still working hard, in silence and do not feel as encouraged. Please help me. Nevertheless, These desires in my heart, this promise, that man I have prayed who god has answered in 2016. I Waited 24 years and found the one. I believe we will reunite, through his power of miracles of restoration. Please pray with me.

His Wisdom is phenomenal ❤🙏🏼❤

I just watched this video this afternoon. There has never been a more timely word that relates to my life and what I needed in the moment. I thank God that the Holy Spirit led me to this. I thank God for TD Jakes and his calling and submission to the Holy Spirit to share this Word. I pray that God will continue to bless him and equip him. I’m grateful that his crushing allowed him to multiply and plant seeds not just in his own children (Sarah is a huge blessing as well) but to millions of other people who are blessed by his teaching. This crushing season that I’m in has brought me closer to God and revealed Him to me in ways that I’ve never experienced before. It’s opened my eyes to learn things about myself that I wasn’t able to recognize before. It’s softened my heart. I’ve been standing on Jeremiah 29:11 and also when I am afraid I will trust in you (God). I know that God is in control so nothing is ever out of control. I pray that everyone who watches this is encouraged. Side note: Lori could not stop the tears from falling during this one. She kept trying to look down at the book LOL. I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one ❤️❤️

“Knowing he is for you, gives you staying power when you question what he does to you” Thank you Jesus!

God has my attention again as I come to Him, saying please Have mercy on me and help me in this difficult time. God has helped me so much and has been so faithful to me. I need His strength now and I’m cautious not to mumble. Glory be to God! He is All Wise, all Knowing and all Seeing. His Wisdom may not make sense to us however when He reveals His perfect plan in our lives it makes sense. The question is how do we react and how do we deal with it when going through adversity? We must hold on and continue to trust. Ask God for more faith and know that Jesus Is Lord! God bless you all. Ps if not for me going through this challenge I wouldn’t have been here to share these encouraging words. Glory be to God!

There is something about a crushing in our lives that causes us to see God in a certain way..what a statement...Pastor TD thank you so much

I love this man he makes things so simple and clear! ❤ He's Brilliant!

The ANNOINTING on This Man…I Praise God. There are NO WORDS for me to express just how thankful and grateful for; how incredibly humbled by The Sovereignty of Almighty God, His Saving and Selfless Son, Our King, Jesus Christ, and His All Existing and Living Love and Leadership of His Holy Spirit, Our Best Friend.

God bless all the strong people out there. People who grew stronger from being crushed cuz yes, I am one of such people. Guess what guys, we are morethan a conqueror. With Jesus as our anchor, He doesn't exclude storms, He sees us through the storms. Today, I thank God for my many painful stories, they molded me to this strong, resilient, faithful... young woman. You just directly spoke to me. And i keep praying God that i may be a blessing to many.

Wisdom from our mistakes Power from pressure

I always learn so much from Bishop Jakes. What an anointed man of God. Thank you Lord♡

I woke up @4:36am crying, weeping really I was missing my younger sibling we had grown up together an I felt so alone I’ve accomplished a lot for my age but I felt alone that I really don’t have the family support that I’d like. God bless Pastor Jakes. I’m going to give this book a read! This message helped me this morning. 💕

Bishop Jake's, thank you for delivering God's message to me. I'm in tears and can't stop crying. I've listened to this message twice. God knows what I need at the right time. How I needed this message. I thank God for the message and the messenger. Peace and blessings

Bishop thank you for sharing , please also pray for me 😞I was in a situation in December where I was so hurt that I lost it 🤦‍♀️I sweared and beat 2 people up one of them was my younger sister 😭I really said hurtful things to her , and I’m known to be a praying woman never missed your sermons.. I remember that week you preached about infection point 🙌that message comforted me and helped me to carry on 😣, I also went to see a psychologist just to check if I’m not loosing it , but she told me my bubble burst 💥and it was bound to happen . But now I’m struggling with myself to forgive my self and my sister is also hurting but not talking to me . Please pray with me . When I think about her I think about the incident in December the pain paralysis me and I have to run to your messages to come back again 🥺 in the middle of listening to this I decided to send an apology to her because she avoids me when I try to talk to her . It’s hurts and I feel very bad😔

There is power in pain 🙏🏿🕊

Many times I end up crying listening to TD Jakes.. He makes sense of the many questions I have.. 🙏🏽

What a blessing when I need to hear it most! Such an awesome man of God that lets God use him to help others! Love these wonderful and compassionate people!

Such a powerful interview. I love how Matt interviewed TD Jakes. There’s a maturity about Matt that has come from crushing. And TD Jakes has such a beautiful gift with words. He describes things so simply yet profoundly. Such a sweet anointing and presence of the Lord in this meeting.✝️✨✨✨

"We have all these things that seem to suggest intimacy but deny intimacy". "Four million people see a pic I (TD Jakes) post instantly but it doesn't stop loneliness at all". "Seems like the more people we bring in the more we are left out". "The worst thing about crushing is to be alone". Mr Jakes is being real. I hope we all can hear.

You are build through the weight placed upon you.Sometimes you go through pain for the best things to come out through you.Grapes are crushed for wine to be processed.There is no resurrection without crucification .He makes wisdom out of the mistakes we make.

i expirienced this crushing in my life but God in His goodness lifted me up, thank you Bishop T D JAKES, GOD BLESS YOUR MINISTRY AND TBN AS WELL

AMAZING THANK YOU LORD........

Father God I’m through a lot in my life at this crushing stage 😔🙏, but I trust you, for I know I’m nothing without you🙏….Blessings be to all❤️

Man you've blessed me brother TD Jakes... First time I've met you and you broke me into pieces sir ... Thank you very much.

So comforting to hear you three. God Bless you for loving Jesus and loving us !!! Thanking you with all my heart. Love you all !!!

Oh my gosh, I needed this!! I've been crushed for 14 years now!! 💔💔😭😭Waiting, waiting......💔💔🙏🙌

This was the first book that I picked up after my son was murdered.

I pray for myself to excel at work and my financial abundance. AMEN 🙏🙌

I wept the entire time this was so powerful and ministered right to me I felt like Bishop was speaking right to me. What an amazing interview. I can't wait to read his book.

This is elevating me & lifting my head

Dang Matt, you and Laurie caused me to rejoice. You are such an insightful man of understanding and the beautiful Laurie weeping at your side; you're both anointed and precious ... did a magnificent job hosting T.D. Jakes. Thank you for remaining and continuing in ministry.

Sometimes it's dangerous to give power to people who have no empathy.

Amen! Please pray for me

Praise God for this exceptional wisdom !!!God bless you abundantly Bishop Jakes🙏🙏

My world's best bishop, my daddy in the gospel, my mentor is speaking...I love you bishop and am blessed by your ministry...Crushing doesn"t stay...Thankyou dad and God bless you so much...

Give me the strength and grace god that only you can give, help me do this job, not for anyone accept u. The glory belongs to you. 🙏🏽

Thank you Lord.

Thank you Jesus, pray for healing, understanding God's way

Many tears, due to my crushing time now...His presence was so real in this broadcast. Thank you TD...You are a beautiful man of God! This revelation and teaching are so much needed these days!

This is prophesy at its most conceivable time. I started listening by coincidence and couldn’t stop till the end. Thanks t d jakes. I absolutely needed to hear this at this particular moment in time. I feel like I was present right there absorbing every word every thought. To God be the glory.

I thank God everyday for TDJakes on how he actually explains the word to help me understand my fear and struggle… God bless him and all of us who get a little better or stronger in the journeys of life 🙏

God bless you Bishop, this is truly timely. May God's grace abound in our lives to hold on through the crushing. Amen.

Amen to that prayer

I pray that one day I can make it to America and attend atleast a Sunday at tbn

My goodness!!! I love this message. God bless you Sir, God bless you all. I keep praying, thanking God for letting me go through all my bad experiences cuz they are the reason i am this strong woman today. Today, even with everything going on in my life, i laugh and say to myself: "You cannot break". Thank you Jesus. Thank you all.

I need prayer on how to back away from a friendship. A toxic friend will not leave me alone. This friendship has caused me to have anxiety issues. Bad anxiety issues. Pray to rebuke the spirit of fear. This is so bad that they have gotten obsessive and aggressive.

I have listened to this message more than 3 times and it ministers to my heart differently all the time. Pastor Thomas D Jakes May God continue to bless you. I pray that one day I can have resources to travel and congregate with you in The Potters House. Indeed pain brings strength!!! God turns pressure into power. I love you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much Bishop T. D Jakes for pouring and sharing. I was going through a "Crushing" period in my life. I have been through several at different times in my life. I didn't understand them, but now I do and appreciate what I went through. It is through these "Crushing" I have been able to identify my purpose, through which I will take to be a blessing to my world and beyond. This is all by God's GRACE. I have been gracefully-made. Shalom. Blessings

God Speaks! God is in everything you can see and cannot see!

the wisdom of td jakes and the understanding of pain people feel on the inside is why I love him and his teachings, I am healed by his words Inspired through the gospel of christ thank you.

Why most good People go before the bad ones?Amen.

Thank you for giving a voice to those in the valley. I, too, suffered with the onset of chronic illness my twin sister was diagnosed with when we were both 9 years old. Having inherited the weight of any burden too large to carry alone is crippling without the Lord. With the Lord, these life experiences are periods of sustainable growth we are called to carry WITH Him. Having said that, Christ speaks into these places from the deepest valley of all - the cross. A cross He bore for our sins, so that we are not held to an eternal death. To anyone deeply grieved and suffering. There is only one God who lives. Rest in the Vine that is He, allowing yourself to be timely pruned for fruitful growth and harvest - It is He who is ever present, never leaving, and He who brings yield of the finest harvest in our life (John 15:5). The Way, the Truth, and the Light we all seek, and the only One who knows,, is found in John 3:16 and Matthew 7:7. He is gentle, kind, and merciful. He did not come to push you through, HE came to carry you through. His burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30). And He will restore the years of your life that have been eaten away by “the swarming locust” of pain and suffering, and toil of sin (Joel 2:25). Joy IS found in His presence. Restoration of marriages, healing (mind and body), recovery over battles of addiction and suffering, identity and loneliness ARE all possible in Him (Philippians 4:13). When we ask with an earnest heart, He will lead us into the Promise of an eternity that begins with one decision to ASK Him into your heart…and then follow Him. Heavenly Father God, I am sinful and suffering and so in need of You as my Savior (the only One who can save me). My life is not working, Lord. Though there is much I may not yet know of You, I know and accept You as having died for my sins. I want to follow You as Lord of my life. Come into my heart, into my place of suffering and lead me out. I will follow. Forgive my sins. (Then receive it…truly take hold of His promise, walking in what is …in the refuge that is HE). Find a Christian church that teaches from the Bible and be in fellowship not religion. If you prayed that prayer, you are already in relationship with God. Church fellowship is a group of believers, like you, walking in community together. There is God-given strength there. Welcome. Praising God for your decision. Amen!

Lord help us all we've been crushed and are still being crushed God please stay with me

I'm in the process of bringing my husband to the USA. This is a process. I truly believe God place him in my life for a reason. I will continue to humble myself and wait patiently.

Thank you Lord Jesus for our Modern Day “Moses” 🙏🏾

Yes Bishop , I crying 😢 like a baby 😩🙌🏿Hallelujah 🙏🏿

God bless you Bishop! I trust that you will receive your crown one day. Glory be to Jesus for giving us small humans this amount of revelation to survive on this earth against all odds placed against us.

Pain becomes you're Passion Blessing in Disguise...

My son is homeless and in addiction and my heart is crushed beyond what I think I can bear and the sorrow for my son and his pain the suffering for over three years now

I am on the potters wheel plz pray .

Thank you Jesus for the message of the crushing.

The crushing has happened deep down where the heart was - thank you for this🙏🏽 Lord! My kids are fully crushed as they had to try and figure out how to make mom want to be alive so that they don’t loose another parent.. we have survived the worst and we are still standing and persevered for years.. We had it good so we thought but we were in the crushing for years and the worst was the past 4weeks - we had nothing! But God wanted us to seek Him and only Him,and He has come through for us in a way no one who hasn’t been through life’s tormenting episodes… We only know That God only Can change the mess into a message- I asked Him if I am the one you want please spare my children the suffering,but I now know He wanted them to see His power at work,so that they could witness His work themselves . They are my witnesses now..they saw Him making a way for them to go back to school when we didn’t know… He is doing a new thing - through the crushing He’s making a new wine… healing does come- just hang in there 🙏🏽❤️

Bible is very important to read and must read every day teach children also with respect in it and they will understand it

Trusting in Jesus Christ Amen

Blessings and Love to the man of God I am battling depression and I am desperate I didn't know a human being could be going through something so devastating and there's not much can be done I asked God to take my life everyday cause I don't want to do it help me please this is too much.

You always make my day God bless you all.

Love You Bishop Jakes from Louisville, KY 😀

T D Jakes has always been an inspiration to me! Thank you, for all the years, and thank God for TBN, though I’m not able to watch either of these programs much anymore, due to finances. Being 75 and not able to work, or even getting a driver’s license, I still Praise God! Jesus is so real to me, even though, I know one thing, Praise can change things and I like most people, don’t praise Him like we should! I’ve been crushed but I still Praise Him, because He’s proven to me, He is Real and Loves me!

I Trust You God ! Thank You for my crushing and Your Healing!

This was so beautiful 😭

Thank you heavenly father I love you Jesus

Ohhh my God 🙌 May God bless Bishop abundantly 🙌

Makes me cry. Thank you Bishop Jakes. 🙏🙏🙏

We thank God for you Bishop Jakes. Your sermons have shaped and changed my life for the better. Whenever I thirst and long to hear the word of God, I search from your mouth. God bless you. I appreciate you Bishhop... ❤️💕💕🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦

Ooh thank you Bishop for the truth you’ve unpacked…

Mr Jakes, u with me every where, am torn a part between two roads, wondering; which one? seeking him day and night

It's amazing the Lord wants relationship with us! In our reliance on His Help, we have His love poured into our hearts Rom 5, so we can love as He did.

Loving God with all your heart is dwelling on God's love that he's for me

I love it. I feel your pain. I trust Jesus that his plan for me is the best. I abide on Him because He is the source of my strength.

The amount of wisdom here... Its so timely. 🙏 Focus on surviving the storm, don't try understanding it when you in it- only when it has settled that's whwn you try understand it.
