David, please pray for me, my whole hearts desire is to be close to the LORD, being aware of His presence. That’s all I desire. Nothing else matters
Peace Be Still A poem written by God Peace be still within you, says the Lord. Be at peace with me, and I will reside in you from now on! Peace be still in all you do, in all life’s waters. Peace be still within you, who is made up of water. Peace be still, within you who needs to trust in the Lord with everything in life and your future life that is to come! Peace be still in all the waves that come crashing against your mind and your thoughts of me! Peace be still in your raging seas, in the depths of your heart, when all is not still, let peace be still. Even then trust in me, and I will show you the way to still waters from the raging seas of your mind! Peace be still within you, so you may do my perfect and complete will for your life. Peace be still even now when you doubt your future in me and you don’t know what will happen next or what the future may bring. Peace be still in the fact that all is well with thee and thy soul rests in me, and I in you says the Lord of Hosts. Amen
He is with me
He is with me
Amen
He is with me Jesus is the LORD I Love You Holy Spirit I Love You Jesus I Love You Father Jesus is THE LORD
I used to beg God to give me His Holy Spirit. I am learning to not focus so much on feeling. He never left me, He is always there.
If you are born again you were filled with everything God has provided for you to live out this wonderful walk before Him, Amen?
He is with me
@@derek4668 amen I know that now
Amen
AMEN❤
I really want to feel God presence.I am sure He is with me always.
hebrews 13:5 "never will i leave you never will i forsake you"
The greatest rickrolling thing I read. Because it's real, not like rickrolling.
@@yafethtb huh
@@joshunderwood5757rickrolling was a thing back in the early 2000's. It involved a video that would change to Rick Astley's "never gonna give you up". Which bombarded KZhead videos and others alike.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@yafethtbI think I understand where you came up with the comment about rickrolling. I have praised the Lord in song to Rick Astley’s songs. Because Jesus is the ONLY ONE who truly is “never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and dessert you”….Hallelujah thank you Lord Jesus!
I have had a physical manifestation of His presence 1 month ago. Many emotional manifestations throughout my life. I was convicted of smoking weed, porn, masterbation, stealing, and lying for many years. Today, I do not live in the flesh any longer, however I struggle sometimes and give in. I’m not going to say it’s been easy. The last thing to go was quitting weed. Everytime the Lord told me to quit, I ignored Jesus. I’m so happy that I am free of all those things. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ FREE INDEED ❤❤❤❤
I did the same thing 4 20years and the weed was the hardest thing to get out of my hand and put it in Jesus Christ hands 👐 loveu God bless you and keep going through all words of the Holy Bible xxxxx
Glory be to God
@ààcarolinemacdonald3455

It's difficult to take a step of faith when you don't know where you're headed
Even if I don't feel it , hes always with me
Continue to know that because it's the truth. 🔥🕊️🔥
Time and time again he reminds me despite my doubts that He IS with me
Even if I dont feel like he is with me
GOD is greater than my sickness and priblems.HE is with me always.
1 John 3 .20: " 19. And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence: 20. Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things. 2. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,…" This verse has helped me so often.
I heard someone say just recently, Our emotions have no knowledge. That sounds right to me. Don’t act on emotion, act on the knowledge you possess.
This is what I needed to see. Thank you!
there's True Emotions Access Emotions
I had to screenshot this one. God bless ❤
He is with me
Even if I don't feel him, God is with me.
Keep believing that because it's the truth 🔥🕊️🔥
Even if I don’t feel him, He is with me.
He is with me! Always and forever, everywhere I go. For I am, along with all believers, we are all His dwelling place. And how so lovely it is! Let that sink into your head bone. Walk with faith as a child. ❤🙏
1-wickedness 2-waiting 3-wondering 4-weariness
He is with me. I'm struggling so much with doubt, I feel so far away from the Lord, but I want to believe in Him. He is with me
Just keeping praying and remember God's word 🔥🕊️🔥
Same. It is hard. But then you stop and look into your past and realize God was walking with you carrying you through every single trial.
He is with me
By Faith,God is with me❤🙏
I dont feel the presence of God but i believe that he's inside me and he is faithfull to me the lord made a promiss that he will never leave us
Pray for Salvation of the entire family here in Philippines. Restoration of broken relationships, financial aspects.
God is with me in Jesus name
He is with me, and I’m believing that by faith he is with me.
He is with me and I am praying for the strength to let go of my doubts, fears and worries and replace them with trust that he is always there and will never leave. I know I don’t deserve his grace, mercy and forgiveness and I will never earn it. Thank you heavenly for letting me type this and speak to you. I humbly ask to keep us all safe. Especially the hurt, lost, suffering, innocent, disabled and poor, including all animals on this earth. Amen.
Yes, in agreement with you. Amen
I want the holy spirit to heal me completely and help me to serve him even to the very end🥺🙏🙇
Then covenant with God tell him if he heal you have done a covenant with him you ll serve him forever he will heal n remember the covenant with him everyday don't terminate it
Thank you for this♥️🥺🌹🙏
This encapsulates my condition PRECISELY! I am a born again, follower of Christ. But I AM caught up in and distracted by guilt, shame and lack of confidence coming before the Lord...asking Him to heal me. I'm experiencing a GREAT DEAL of fear over my situation. YES! That's where I'm having trouble! Impatience and frustration while waiting for Him. Also, not knowing what to step out in faith in to. Thank you and God bless you for sharing this! I've been trying to make a point to ask for prayer at every opportunity. So, I'd like to ask all who may come upon this, to lift me up to Our Heavenly Father in prayer, for healing from my severe neuropathy and from its underlying cause, diabetes. Your prayers are GREATLY appreciated!! God bless you all!
He is with me in Jesus Name Amen
God is faithful .He lives in me.Even if I don't feel Him I press on in prayer .Sometimes sing praises can help .Prayer is part of a relationship,not a feeling.Praise God!Keep preaching truth in Christ brother.
Even if I don’t feel Him, God is with me.
Even if I don't feel Him, He is with me. ❤
I had been feeling this. Last night I was just praying and asked God to give me confirmation that there wasn’t something wrong and first thing this morning I came straight across this video. Thank you Jesus! He is so good
I needed this. I worry so much and it's killing me. I need rest in Jesus. God bless you all. God bless you Alyssa
I can relate. I worry too much & find it hard to relax. But, fear not, for our Heavenly Father, Jehovah, will take care of us! Matthew 6:25-36
God promises that he will never leave me nor forsake me...
HE IS WITH me! Every seconds of my life❤❤❤
I believe Jesus is with me😊I have faith
Please Jesus let this season of sadness be finished in Jesus name.
yes Amen ❤❤
The agony in the garden. Iet us unite our suffering to His
God will bring some good out of it I remember my cat died of a tumor and the same day my uncle died I found out the next day. It was awful. I missed a load of stuff at class my favourite stuff too. I love poetry and I missed it all just couldn't cope. But he did amazing things out it sweetie. I decided to write my feelings down and wrote poems and bits my feelings. I was planning to get all the work I missed and try to catch up to the best of my ability before I finished the class. Anyway I came back to class asked for the work showed the teacher what I had done and most of the home I done at home Praise God. I had 2 weeks to end so I had one week to get all the work done. Some stuff I didn't understand but that was kl the stuff I did while I was off covered it. She put it in my work. Yey. The other stuff I did. Was great. I got my story to final draft so it was great and she said "it was amazing how well you did" it wasn't me I had someone with me getting me through that was just my course. My uncle I was upset and hoped he made it to heaven. So that was hard for me. Then another amazing story with my cat. My vats name was Rosie God brought a dog my way called Josie. I had prayed previously for my other dog to find a friend she could play with while I go out evangelising as the cat was lazy. My neighbours friend died he had 2 dogs and both were ill treated as his friend was an alcoholic. So they weed and poohed around the house didn't get fed and walked ectra. So his friend asked his to take care of them but he couldn't cope. So I prayed over it and said to God " the dogs have been through so much give him the strength to look after them or home them together so they can see each other and we can see them too. Little did I know God had a plan. 😂😂😂 I ended up having one I am his neighbour on one side and the other neighbour had the other dog on the other side. 😵🤪🥰 I rang pdsa about my cat they said get some meds so I did. No joy So I rang again they said bring her in by this time the lump was so bad. My neighbour took me he had lots on I said go home and get on I will be OK getting back he said no I will wait. God knew what was coming. I took her in and they took her assessed her and said there nothing they could do. It broke me 😭😭😭 the staff got my friend in the car and I put her down and came home with out her.😭😭😭 BUT GOD just before this a few days or so I went out in garden spoke to neighbour about dogs and I said "I will take in Josie". I DIDN'T SAY IT THE HOLY SPIRIT DID. I was like yeah I suppose I can take her so that night I took her in. 3 days later my cat died. 😭😭😭 God helped my other dog she had company too. Afterwards I released it was God taking care of me her name being Josie and my cat names Rosie I new it was God watching over me. He is with you sweetie and helping you through we just don't always see it at the time. 🙏🙏🙏 Take care God bless you. Xxx
Even when I don't feel His presence, He's with me.
The Good Lord is with me in Jesus' name.. amen and amen!!!
I don’t feel him. I wish I did as I pray for him, beg him, cry for him. I believe fully and accept god and Jesus. I confessed my sins and now need baptism. Hopefully then I will feel him with me.
It’s the flesh that’s why we can’t feel God! ❤
Even if I don't feel it, God is with me.
HE IS EMMANUEL HALLELUJAH PRAISE GOD
He is with me ……….. even if I don’t feel Him! ✝️
Jesus is with me. He will never leave me nor forseek me.
Even if I feel far from Him, its not my feelings and emotions that define His presence. He is who He is!...He is always with me. Even when I don't see His working, He will never stop working.❤
Glory to God to see those running to the Lord!
He is with me always, every minuet, every second no matter what.
He is with me, even if I don't feel Him.
He is with me, He's my Lord and Savior, He's the Shepherd of my Soul.... God bless you David,,,,A Proudly Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪.
Me too
He's with me when I am at my lowest, he is with me at my highest.
My Lord is with me and watches over me, despite how I feel. I’m 100% sure of my faith about that.
Today I’ve been under the spout where the glory runs out,,,I’ve been in the throne room,Glory Glory ,
Even if I don't feel it, he is with me.
He is with me….He will never abandon me to the realms of the death…amen
He is with me. Praise the Lord. I Love you 😊♥️🙏
We don't go by feelings, we go by Faith 😊
HE IS WITH ME!!!! Thank you 🙏🏼 Father for always being here with me!
Me too. Thank you God for hearing us. And if we know that He hears us, we have what we asked for.
God is with me. Jesus is with me. The Holy Spirit is with me. God is greater than my feelings. 🙏
Even if I don’t feel him, God is with me!
He is with me, always 🙏 😊 ❤ ✨️
Even if I can’t feel Him, God is with me.
He's with me, my only Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in all of my days.❤️🙏
He, God, is with me ! I love you Lord Jesus.😊
When I was young , due to alot of hurt from parents, classmates, friends, collegues and family- I refuse to 'feel' or cry- but now- being single, alone & retired- I NEED TO FEEL AGAIN! I NEED TO FEEL GOD, FEEL JESUS & FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT! I need an encounter with Him to open up my heart & life like an abscess and drain out all the poison AND feel me up for me to heal
Read the Word out loud, Faith comes by hearing. Hide his word in your heart. Pray without ceasing. The enemy wants you to feel alone and unwell. Pray Gods promises to us aloud to Him. He is your healing, he gives you a sound mind. Walk in obedience, take thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ. Remember you’re never alone. I have had a real toxic situation that God has brought me out of. I cherish freedom, even though there is shame in divorce. Jesus is my husband and my provider. He will be all you need
I'm fighting for visitation and custody rights for my daughter. Amen
I wish you well. God bless you in your srruggle.
He is always with me and he will never leave nor forsake me🙏🏼
He is with me God Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤
He is with me , I walk by faith not by sight, I do not walk by my feelings.
He’s with me! God is with me even when I don’t feel it.🙏🏾
GOD IS WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obedience to the Father is such a wonderful thing, yes? Acts 5:32
I LOVE YOU JESUS😢🙏🏻❤️
for the record , I feel the Lord every single day of my life, even when I was fallen and in sin, now walking in holiness his presence is amazing even more, some times its so strong that I feel like I'm going to die or my heart is going to explode, I can not help it cry , without noticing I'm showered in tears, not guilt ,not sadnes,yes happiness but it goes beyond human emotions, is hard to explain, but there is nothing in this world that gets even closer ,no human relationship,no drugs, nothing compares with Gods presence, maybe that's why David said his presence is better than life.
Bro that is so real. His presence is something I crave. Although he lives in me. When a dear friend knocks on the door and comes in it’s like that joy. To feel Him is amazing. He is our wonderful father. I think sometimes he doesn’t reveal himself (although always near) is to grow us. I think I’m my season of faith it’s about trusting Him even when I don’t feel Him. Jesus felt abandoned but He was faithful to the end. I think that is a beautiful model that The Lord is trying to shape us by. He wants deeper love and deeper trust. This hits so at home when David says his spirit pants like a deer for water when it comes to desiring the Lord. It’s so beautiful. It gives me hope in a quest season.
You probably think you are better than us because you feel it...
bro, I recommend you to read Romans 3:10-18 ,there is no one good, no one.
ISN'T IT AMAZING?????😊😊😊😊 I CAN'T EVEN TALK OR MOVE, I JUST GO WITH IT AND CRY HAPPY TEARS AND I GET BIG GOOSEBUMPS WHEN IT STARTS GOING AWAY. BUT IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BLISSFUL AND MORE REAL LOVE THAT'S A DIFFERENT LOVE THAT WE HAVE HERE. THE FIRST TIME I FELT IT IN CHURCH AT 11 YEARS OLD, AFTER I WENT UP AND EXCEPTED QUICK SMALL BAPTISIM ? I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY CALLED THAT, BUT I WAS CRYING HAPPY TEARS AND MY GRAM SAID SHE IS FEELING JESUS AND I WAS SO PROUD LOL AND THE NEXT WEEK I WENT UP AGAIN AND I SAID I WANT TO FEEL JESUS'S HUG AGAIN PLEASE LOL 😂😂! THEY ALL THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE AND COMING FROM A ABUSIVE CHILDHOOD BY MY MOM AND DAD IN SOME REAL BAD WAYS, IT WAS SO NICE FEELING THAT. I KNOW HE WAS WITH ME IN THE BASEMENT AND CLOSETS WHEN I WAS PUT IN THEM , OR OUT IN THE CAR IN THE WINTER AFTER MY STEP DAD THREW ME OUT AT 4,5,6 AND ON AND I KNEW SOMEONE WAS WITH ME KEEPING ME SAFE. I GOT BAPTIZED AT 13 IN WATER AT A LAKE AND I FELT IT REAL STRONG! BUT I FELT HIM SO MANY MANY TIMES ALL THROUGH THESE YEAR'S AND I TRY TO TELL PPL HOW GREAT IT FEELS BUT MOST THINK IT'S IN MY HEAD😂! YEAH RIGHT! I KNOW FOR A FACT IT'S NOT IN MY HEAD! IT'S 10000000%REAL! GOD BLESS YOU❤
@@patsymarts6685honestly I didnt know many Christians didn't feel him, now that I know I'm humbled by it and rejoice in his amazing presence.
HE (GOD) IS WITH ME!! AMEN!!
God will let you know that He was and is always near you ❤
That was me, weary, it definitely is a process, and I thought, God is my strength, but physically I need rest, so thank you. Praise God!
He is with me by faith from South Africa
HE IS WITH ME IN JESUS NAME.
He is ALWAYS With Me 🕊️❤️
❤
Even if I don’t feel God, he is with me
He is with me, even if I dont feel Him.
GOD IS GREATER THAN MY FEELINGS
God Is greater than my feeling, I choose to abide and obey His word, walk in His statues, becoming a doer of His word,
He is with me; He is with us; He is with all the brothers and sisters Amen!
Saw a meme meant for me not too long ago: When you’re questioning where God is, remember that the teacher doesn’t talk during the test!! ❤ It gets me through the tough times!!
God is always with me even if I don't feel him 💕
I know that I know He is always with me. Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
Even when I don’t feel it, God hasn’t left me! He is with me!
HE IS WITH ME, EVEN IF I DON'T FEEL HIM
He is with me :-)
Oh we think we are so inpatient and frustrated when we wait for God. Think how loving and patience God is with us that leads us unto Salvation.
David you’re one of the few that makes relatable contents. I appreciate your various topics that relate to me - not hearing from Holy Spirit even though He speaks, struggling to be still and my mind thoughts distracting, thinking I need to do be good before coming to the Lord when I strayed a bit, etc etc.
He is with me. Amen.
He is with me!!!
“HE IS WITH ME” 🙏🏼. Thank you Lord Jesus‼️❤️
He is with me.. Papa is with me always🙏
I can pray easier and am happy with his presence
