    I seriously need Jesus. I'm tired of this depression and anxiety along with constant migranes everyday for over 2 weeks now and I tired everything. Please pray for me. My name is Erica Dankert and I live in Illinois near the Chicago area and people all around me keep dying death is all around me. I get scared to answer my phone to get another call that another family member has passed away and friends. I get nothing but loss and feel overwhelming sadness, anxiety, and recently migranes for over 2 weeks now. I almost died on new year inn 2019 and the doctor called it a miracle but I still feel so lost and abandoned by Jesus.

Who never really knew who he was; contantly looking for validation, acceptance, contantly hoping someone would notice him because of his achievements anf awards. Accolades, thats how i thought you get accepted. But accolades could not break the chains on my family and I ended up in jail like my parents"

    Hello children of God, I’m currently going through tough situation. My father was having stroke-like symptoms, later on we found out that he has a split opening in his aorta artery. This is causing more and more blood to build up which is life threatening. The doctors will have to preform surgery on him, if not he will die. I wanna just ask all of you for a prayer to heal and deliver my father. I know that God has a purpose in him, and Gods power is unlike any other! Thank you all and God bless!❤️‍🔥

His disciples said there are crowds around us but they didn’t know Jesus felt the healing power leave His body And while the woman had suffered from this terrible affliction for years She thought Jesus was going to be angry with her but Jesus smiled and said Your faith has made you whole " ! And another verse I love in the Bible is "When two or three are gathering in my name asking for anything It SHALL BE DONE " I have totally faith in your daddy’s full recovery sweetheart Sending you love and prayers from me in N.ireland God bless you Hugs many Hugs I send to you and to your dear daddy and whole family circle Give him a hug from me xxoo

    Brother I feel this heavily, i too was raised in an abusive home, growing up i basically had to learn how to care for myself at a young age because i was neglected and abused throughout my childhood. Im for sure still healing from several wounds and i fear that i may have to face more torment and detriment in order for Jesus to radically save me. I have been saved, but i still find myself covering myself up with iniquity and not being on fire for God. Lots of environmental circumstances has played roles into this such as living in 8 different households, granted im 20, so not finding any stability, and just having to go to mental hospital to mental hospital, job to job, to broken relationship to broken relationship and realizing that i still need Jesus. Ive walked into a body of christ and plan on serving but i still feel this sense of pride that i want to party, have sex, enjoy the culture and see what its all about simply because ive never experienced it. Im lukewarm and want God, but then want my sin so idk man id rather just be all out than halfway in halfway out. And just pray that the consequences i face God may use in order to teach me or something… idk lol im a boy without a father. How could i know for sure

      Bro, you have a bright future in Jesus. But you must make a decision to follow Him. If we follow our own selves & do our own thing, then we'll surely fail. We only have 1 life to live. Choose to love & follow Jesus, the only Savior who died on the cross, taking our place for the punishment of our sins & HE rose again from the dead. He's the son God that He gave us as the perfect sacrifice. I had no regrets when I made a decision in 1982. Start reading the Bible in the book of John. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding. Ask you read & study the Bible you will grow. Of course, speak or pray to Jesus any time. Pour out your heart to Him. Jesus loves you. In case you mess up or make mistakes, ask Him to forgive you & HE will. Remember that once you have Jesus in your heart, there are demons that tempt you to do bad things, that's why stay close & pray to Jesus, know His word & you'll be victorious in your daily life. You can also look out for a Bible based church that you could be part of & grow in that family of believers. Pray with them & reach out to others who don't know Jesus yet. True Christianity is not a religion. It is a personal relationship with Jesus, our Lord & Savior. God bless you, bro!!!

    Jesus is real. God saved me after I being baptised. I couldn’t tell to no one before, because its so hard to explain. Past year I took DMT, after it I travelled through dimensions until I saw myself in hell and the devil manifested in the body of my dealer. I was scared to death, cause I actually felt dead in my experience. So I wanted to get out of the situation cause I thought I wasn’t actually dead but in a interstate dimension, I couldn’t get out. The devil started laughing cause he knew I was trapped and I had sinned so much that he could devour my soul. Because I went to church the year before I remembered to pray. So I started praying very strong and the devil couldn’t touch me in that moment. After I stopped the devil started laughing and grabbing me again. So I started praying stronger and stronger. After a while I wouldn’t stop praying and my real eyesight was coming back and I managed a way to get out of the apartment I was trapped in. So I runned out of the apartment and saw a river beside the bridge I was running over. The devil went running after me and before he could grab me again the holy spirit whispered: jump!
    So I jumped backflipping into the river and I just could hear his last screaming: Noo! In a deep voice.
    After I managed to swim out I felt protected and went running and praying at the same time 1km to the next train station… half naked. It was 10pm in summer and after I went into the train. I was feeling pretty comfortable cause I wasnt seeing things anymore and felt like I saved myself from death. One station later I had my had down to my knees and a men with the voice of an angel said: I heared what you said. “Is it really true?Do you forgive yourself?” I said yes. He again: “Do you accept your Lord as your savior” Instantly I said yes. So I looked around and saw this men with the purest eyes I ever saw in my life. We had a conversation and we went home together talking about many things. Long story short. He knew all my thoughts and manifested to the right time. I just know from this day one I accepted Jesus really again as my lord and savior. Because this man was sent by God and he took all my worries and guilt instantly. I never felt so seen and touched by God. This day was a miracle.

I also preach and teach in my church. I've witnessed so many miracles. Only God can take a sinner like me and turn it to good. You stay strong and keep going hard for Him!

    Such Love!
    I've heard that some believe in, that because You're the Son of Elohim,
    You suffered less,
    during Your distress.
    But then, they completely forget,
    that You're the Son of man, yet;
    Which learned obedience through all Your sufferings,
    but always without any sins!
    Thank You, Lord, that during Your life down here, You stood against all kind of temptation,
    to prepare a way for my salvation!
    I'm so grateful for those precious Words in the garden of Gethsemane,
    in the middle of Your agony ;
    "Abba Father....not as I will, but as You will!"
    Nobody took Your life, Lord,
    but You gave it freely,
    went through all the pain, scorn and slaughter,
    because You love us dearly!
    How can I ever comprehend such Love, which eternal life did bestow?!
    All I can do, is believe and receive,
    forever praise Your Name ; which
    salvation for me became!
