      The reason for him being that strong because as one start living in truth and righteousness they understand about life and death, it’s an over standing that one can only comes to grip when they truly live righteously the FATHER certainly are the comforter the FATHER supernaturally comfort His sons and daughters.
      And he knows her spirit lives on with her Almighty FATHER.

God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state Nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2348115722370) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you in Jesus name..

      Hmmmm I wouldn't bet on that. You're sinning against the GOD of Israel by worshipping HIS creation. If scripture clearly states that Jesus was a created being what leads you to believe that he is greater than the ONE who created him? Jesus cried out to HIM to save him...why do you think he then has the ability to save you when he could not save himself? Do you really think Jesus will deliver you from the wrath of the GOD of Israel? It is the GOD of Israel who clearly stated, "Before the day was I am HE; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?" (Isaiah 43:13, kjv). HE equally stated, "Cursed is he that puts his trust in man" (Jeremiah, KJV).

    Thank you pastor Tony Evans for this message. This past year, my mom went through the same thing as your dear wife. She went in for a stomach ache, and found out she had cancer. She was planning on retiring in 2019. She had plans to spend more time with family and grandkids. She even considered working part time as a camp nurse at a Christian Bible camp. What started as a year with plans for the future, changed quickly as her diagnosis changed to a prognosis. She had a few ups and downs, but ultimately things turned difficult in the physical realm. She passed away just in December of 2019.
    But in the days leading up to it, I actually found some of your sermons and was greatly encouraged. I was able to speak encouraging words to my mom, who loved Jesus deeply already. The sermons encouraged me as well and gave me the ability to look at the bigger picture of what was happening here. It gave me a heavenly perspective that I needed at that time. Thank you for that.
    I had no idea the struggles your family was going through during this time as well. I am thankful to hear of a life well lived and for the reward that awaited your wife as she made her way home. Your strength in this time is a powerful testimony to your faith in God. I am sure your wife will be proud of your continued commitment to the message Jesus has given you.
    I am praying that God be with you and He keeps you in His arms as you continue in the game, even without your wife at your side. War is not always easy, and sometimes we take losses along the way, but be encouraged. Our fight is not in vain, I looked ahead in the book. Guess what, our side wins the victory. And your dedication to continue the fight makes that victory that much better when it happens. Thank you for this message and I will continue to pray that your family is blessed in your ministry. Jesus loves you so much and just keep on that path. One day, you'll be embraced in His arms and He will say "well done".
