“In order to have a peace that surpasses all understanding, you have to give up your right to understand.”
I agree with you.🙏🏽 Amen
Thats good.
@@ms.bornagain57 Got that from Pastor Bill Johnson
Bible says don't lean on you own understanding. U r right
Aaaamen
This is the realest thing I've heard a preacher say in a long time. I pray his comfort in the Lord.
Amen🙏🏽
He is the realest I know, and I only follow him
He’s my 5-star general instructing and commanding the lords’ warriors
Amber Hanzy yes mam!!!!
Amber Hanzy seriously the realest thing.
John Doe I love him too! But I follow the same God he does because I know he would say, I am human. Follow God.
Dr. Evans has had four major losses in less than four years and he’s still standing!!! Only God, only GOD.
I know how he feels, I have lost 4 major people in my life within a year. Had to plan all these home goings.
Not easy at all, didn't get time to mourn properly for about a year. But I had to keep moving.
Vea Winfrey I know one of them was losing his niece last year and she left behind 4 daughters and a husband 😢
Vea Winfrey his mother, his brother, his father and now his wife and then before that his niece so five people
@@1erniedee Thank you f ok r your kind words. May God bless you as well. I do use my testimony to help others get through their grief. I do still have my sad days but I continue to push on.
I could barely get through this message. I cant even imagine his grief
I can't imagine the strength it took just to get out of bed, let alone preach. The Lord is a keeper!!!! Blessings to the family!!!
I could sense his heavy heart when he talked about staying in bed. I have immense respect for his rawness and courage
Although He is a Pastor, a Mentor, a Doctor, an Author, a Father etc...He ultimately is a servant. And He knew this was an opportunity to be an example to those who feel hopeless, disappointed, discouraged, confused, angry, sad, frustrated etc...It was important to know why developing a true genuine relationship with Jesus Christ is extremely important. Not just on Sundays but acknowledging Christ throughout the day, every day. Tony Evans didn't speak to impress anybody, rather he was making an impact, showing he had to turn to Jesus during this dark time in his life. We grieve with him and his family, yet at the same time, we pray for them at this particular time. We love the Evans family. Lois has made a great impact on this planet. God bless.
Well Said Kevin 🛐🙏🏾✝️😇
Well said !!!
Ithank God for you Dr tony evans may the Almighty keep you strong thru all your years God bless
Tears rolling. But AMENNNN
I
The Lord bless and comfort you in this season Pastor Evans. You are an example to all of us that grieve 🙌 because we are not without hope!
Amen
It is sad when your loved one dies after you've beseached the Lord and nothing happens. It is always God's will to heal but we tend to not want to leave our way giving place to the devil to steal kill n destroy. Solomon said that in the time of adversity consider. Sorry to hear of your loss
Nice words but wrong words. God says that Jesus is the truth way and LIFE. He is the resurrection n the LIFE. THE WORLD IS DEATH. To call Jesus life death is a folly that needs to be addressed.
Amen 💖🙏
AMEN...
Brought to tears by this. God bless you man of God: one of the humblest men I’ve seen in the kingdom. We continue to pray for you and we love you Dr. Evans.
He is the example that the Body of Christ needs
Sophia Parish

I lost my youngest son unexpectedly in December 2019...I am having a difficult day today, I miss my baby soooo much! I often listen to this message for encouragement from Dr. Evans. It always ministers to my broken heart. I needed it today. God is using this man of great faith for such a time as this. Thank you, Lord♥️🙏🏾♥️
God Bless you Dr. Evans. Your example of strength only supplied by our Heavenly Father encourages me in my time of hurt.
No Debt But Love ❤️ Stay encouraged my brother. I’m praying for you 🙏🏾 🙂
So selfless Dr Tony Evans for you to share this sobering reminder with us. Thank you so much and I am praying for you and your family 🙏🏾
PHD in Me TV a great example of a disciple!!
PHD in Me TV , a sobering reminder to expect that God will probably tell us no and surprise us with pain and sorrow when we dream and focus on a happy life?
umm no.
This is a man who has Godly resolve in his life!! Such a model of faith!!
This hurts so bad. I can't imagine losing my husband/ best friend. I love my spouse but I try to love the Lord harder because in the end, all things will perish except him. My condolences!
Amen," all things perish but him"..Thank you.💖
The good news is when we die in Christ theres that Great Reunion...this gets me thru my broken heart...God is so good.
Amen Sister.
I understand you. The scripture came to my mind Romans 8:38. And put nothing before God.
AMEN AMEN!
This is the a perfect representation of standing in/on the strength of God. I’ve always held great reverence for Dr. Evans and his beautiful family. But this has taken things to higher level [of respect]. We salute you, sir.
@SafeinHim....AMEN....so true!
So very true!
One of the finest and most authentic men of God that I’ve ever experienced.
Meaning that you're giving him Glory in spite of your pain
Patty Eldridge yes AMEN!
“I can’t let you go..” 😢 This is when it gets REAL! But this is also the moment when God is saying “Will you trust me?” Praying for strength for the family. ❤️
This is helping me heal from the loss of my mom. Thank You Heavenly Father for using Dr. Tony Evans to speak and preach thus saith The Lord! I pray continued healing for those who have lost a loved one. God is with us all! Amen!
So sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a mom: mine transitioned in 2019. I miss her so much.
Dear pastor,
I m writing you from Haiti. I have been following you for the past 2 years. Your voice has comforted me in several moments. I just want to thank you and let you know that through your preaching I got closer to Jesus by trusting him more in the minds of everything. I m so sorry for your loss. I pray that you recover and that you take time to do so. I love your family.
I am Myriam Hello my Haitian sister, God Bless You in 2020.
@@mees2751 Thank you. Same to you!
Been listening to Dr. Tony Evans for 35 years. He walks with God all the days of his life. God Bless you sir.
“If you don’t make room for divine interruptions in your life you will stay angry, mad, irritated, frustrated and exacerbated because life doesn’t always go like you planned.” Woooooo! This shook my soul....
Mine too....needed to hear that
Amen
Ditto!!! That stamped my heart!

I am so saddened that Pastor Tony is hurting. My prayers for the entire Evans family. May God comfort, strengthen, and keep them ♡♡♡
Pastor Tony Evans! the lord is loving on you even more in the midst of your heartbreak. 🙏
Blessed are those that mourn, they shall be comforted.

This is surely the face of someone who has looked God in the face. I love you Dr. Evans and I pray God’s comfort, continuous grace and mercy over the Evans family.
If your a person who dislikes this video, you really need Jesus.🙆
AMEN🙏
Amen!
amen
What a balanced man of God! My prayer is that every seed that he has planted in others in their time of mourning be returned to him and his children one hundred fold.
When we're weak, He is our strength. God bless!!!
This the realest New Years message I’ve probably ever heard in my life. My mother also passed from gallbladder cancer..grandmother too. This message touched me. God bless this man and his family.
Deeply moved by this message. Pastor Tony Evans is a real man of God, to be able to stand on Gods word in the mist of a storm like this. Thank you Pastor For being such a Great leader. God Bless You and the Family. 🙏🏾
The epitome of strength and God’s glory! Lord give this man and his family the strength to heal. My heart aches for them.
Pastor, as long as I have been apart of your ministry, listening from so far away, I feel like family. My heart hurts so much for your loss. I pray for strength for you and your family.
Agree even more with you on this comment 100 times more....
Am listening and my heart is so heavy for him, you can hear it on his voice. Be strong man of God
My God peace BSTILL..THE COURAGE THE STRENGTH OF BLACK LOVE REAL CLEAN GOD LOVE
Agree 100.
I’m in a storm of disappointment. Seven months of it. God has a plan and storms don’t last forever. 😊
This was such a refreshing word. It brought me back to when I was 28 when my husband passed away at 31 to cancer. I definitely understand about not wanting to let him go. He told me "I'm okay. If God doesn't heal me om earth it's ok. I know where I'm going. I'm fine. " Hardest thing for me to accept, but God's plans definitely wasn't what I wanted.
I am thankful for the comfort and healing He brought me over time. While I still have questions I am learning to let God's will be done.
"Say Yes to Him even when He says no to you." Thank you Dr. Tony Evan's
Prayers for you and your family Dr. Evans.
Pastor Evans, thank you for being a faithful man of God. I pray that the Lord give you and your children the comfort and strength you need as you grieve your dear wife’s passing. God bless you all.
This Man is holding his head even through heart ache and I am grateful to have his Words of Wisdom.
This made me cry cleansing tears!!!
And this is how you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. My heart aches for you Pastor Evans. May God continue to comfort you and give you peace.
I feel so sad for him. He has to go home and "she's no longer there"...
I heard grace and tenderness in his voice, even in the midst of this difficult time. The Most High is with him and the family. Thanks again for sharing.
I lost my husband on Dec. 6, 2019. I have been blessed by your messages. I, too, am a pastor and feel the burden of being a "wounded healer."
Mr Evans I feel your pain
Sorry your loss your wife she with Jesus Christ now
We loose nothing 'cause we own nothing or no one
We simply need Jesus❤
Man of God my condolences to you, you have been a staple in my life in times of trouble. May the comfort you and your family in Jesus mighty name.
Even going thru great Loss, Dr. Evans is still saving souls. Thank you for sharing your amazing Faith!
Dr. Tony Evans gives me tremendous hope!!! Thank you, Sir for being a TRUE man of God...
Who the heck are the 37 👎🏻’s? 🤦🏽♂️ this whole sermon was life giving.
They must be some Atheist
There demons that's who they are!
Non believers. Pray for them.
This hits different watching it in 2024. 2020 wasn't in anybody's plans...I've learned to align my plans with God's plans...the end
I understand. I lost my husband of 42 years recently. We planned to ‘grow old’ together. Thank you for posting Tony’s message. So helpful in my grief❤️
Jesus please comfort your servant and his family.
My heartfelt prayer & sincere condolences to Bro. Tony Evans & all his family. I pray God will continue to bless & God's presence can be felt through this time in their life.
I wish everyone who is grieving about Kobe and the eight people in the helicopter crash could hear this.
I’m not going to put my whole life story on youtube. But, I’d say this- I am alive. A week from now, I would’ve left my family in pain due to too much depression and stressed.
God has restored me!
So blessed you chose to stay here and give it another chance 😍😍 May God continue to hold you during this difficult time!

This was so timely. I lost my cousin that was my sister after 45 year 12/29/19. I have been hurting so bad . I thank God for this message
Mimis Food Review - I will be praying for you.
@ Valerie Maddox Thank u so much.
Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good."Psalm 90:15,

I feel your pain. I buried my brother on 12/30/19. Buried my sister last year in August 2018.
"Let me go" hardest 3 words to hear from your loved one😭
I'm still crying
The hardest words to accept, especially when you thought you were ready to let your loved one go but you weren't 🥺
Thank you God for giving pastor Evan's peace and tranquility at this time of loss, maintain his heart and Faith in your Hands heavenly father
Thank you! Years later...my mom died and I'm hurting! My mom said, "let me go"! I never heard of you but your videos are what I needed to watch and hear during this terrible time in 2024! You opened yourself up during one of the most debilitating moments in your life AND that transparency just saved my life! Thank you, Mr. Evans
I love you Pastor Tony Evans! God bless you and your family! 😭🙌🏽

“The Lord is nigh them that are of a broken heart...”
My sincerest condolences for your loss. God’s presence comfort you thoroughly in Jesus’ name.
... allow yourself to be human. Take time off to heal and be ministered to. ❤️
Pouring tears... as I lost my precious husband tragically last month... hardest thing I have ever faced in my life and I have faced a lot. I still am trying to figure out how to keep going... this pain is unbearable... it hurts too much to be here without him... but I know I have to keep going until God calls me home. The pain of losing a spouse is worse than anything.
This message started breaking my heart before I could even listen to it. I appreciate being comforted by a God who hurt first.
I just want to say this message brought tears to my eyes and I pray for you and your family God bless you and thank you for responding the way that God would want you to
Patty Eldridge Same here. What an inspiring message of obedience and a great reminder that we need to always seek God’s will first. ✝️☮️💜

Tears on your behalf, heartbroken that Sister Lois had to leave her loved ones on this side of eternity. Praying for your family! God bless and comfort and restore you richly!
The Lord has richly blessed Dr. Evans with knowledge and wisdom. I think of him as America's Pastor. He delivers God's word in such a way that you see the insight that Jesus has put upon his heart/mind. Dr. Evans-I'm so very sorry for your loss.
I’m watching this is 2024. Little did he know what was to come. The divine interpretation God had planned for us all!
I am in such awe of how he carried himself in this time. I found courage to stand in a trying time for our family as my sister in law is battling cancer and death is inevitable in the next few days. Thank you so much for your ministry.
Wow, just WOW! I can't even say how much this family has influenced my life, from Pastor Evan's sermons, to Priscilla's.conferences, to Crystal's conferences to just soaking up everything on you tube I can find. I walked it a book store before Christmas and there was Tony Evan's study bible. It was what I wanted for Christmas!
I love this family!
Who in God's green earth would thumbs down Brother Evans message.
Whoever you are shame on you, I'll pray for your soul.
In Jesus name
Amen
I am so sorry for your loss Dr. Evans. I am praying for you and your family. May the Lord continue to inscribe you and your family in the palm of his hands.

"Make room for divine interruptions." The truest statement of 2019. Hurricane Dorian hit two islands in The Bahamas and we are changed forever. Now, like Tony Evans, I say, not my will oh Lord, but Your will be done. ...
I can say I understand Pastor. I pray for you and your family I too have suffered a loss October 16th 2019 I lost my husband to cancer after 41 years of a full and blessed marriage. May God bless you and keep you, not just in the palm of His hands but in the fullness of His arms.

Who else cried this whole sermon😭😭😭 Tony thank you for your sermons it seems every time I need to hear something I am drawn to your sermons.
He is really good
Hello
I am reminded of a scripture as Dr. Evans is preaching. In Psalms 91...He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, in Him will I trust. Only God can assist Dr. Evans to speak so fluidly and honestly, even as broken and deeply mourning for his beautiful wife.
Dear Lord lift Tony Evans up he needs your help to let her go place in him a sweet spirit he has such powerful insightful works for us all thank you God for this man and his willingness to share his knowledge with us for your kingdom
