- One of the greatest things we can do in our lives is to follow Jesus. “To follow” means to travel behind something greater and seek its good above our own. For a believer, that greater is Jesus Christ, and His goal is to make us better. It’s going to come at a cost that even Jesus paid, but the payoff will be far greater than you could ever imagine. All you have to do is answer the call, take up His cause, and follow first.

@DeborahEanes Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray you cover and protect this Queen as she experiences one of the many trials you speak of. May she bend but never break as you guide her to greatness because this too shall pass! Ease her worries, doubts, and fears! Give her the strength to keep going and multiply her finances 10x over!

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"💕🙏💗

Lord make me better🤍🙏🏻🧎🏻♀️
I was not expecting him to sing Thank You Lord at the beginning and my eyes began to fill up. Lord, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"Make Me Better, Lord Make Me Better" when he started singing that, I felt my spirit crying to be Better. Thank You Jesus
I still have a long way to go, but the road has been wondrous. I wouldn't trade it.
Yes, Lord make me better before you in Jesus Christ Holy Name 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Following first isn't a sign of weakness. Following first is WISDOM. You must know the one you are following. You must first follow great leadership in order to be a pivotal and great leader.🙏🏾💕 Honor, sir.
IT COST! TO FOLLOW JESUS. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A CHANGE MIND.
When I was 18, I had no direction in my life. I was depressed, suicide and addicted to drugs. I didn't think my life could get any worse, but then I lost my mother and father in a freak car accident. That was the final straw for me, I had no one else in my life, no reason to live. I through my body off a bridge in an attempt to kill myself, but as soon as I began to fall, I immediately regretted it. Suddenly, I saw all of the things I wanted to achieve in life flash before my eyes. Marrying a beautiful girl, starting a family with her and becoming a doctor. As these things vividly flashed before me, I could hear a voice that I could only describe as ethereal. It was in that moment that the Lord had decided to save me! I miraculously survived the fall, which baffled every medical professional that checked on me. I knew that GOD had spared me because he had great plans for me, and that gave me the will to carry on. That was 10 years ago. I am now a qualified medical professional, and tomorrow I will be proposing to my girlfriend of 4 years :) Wish me luck my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! God bless you all
To have lost a child, a pain most will never understand. This man sang with such conviction. There's still a song in his heart. That's the strength of the Lord!🙌🙌
Amen
you are so right
How old was his son that died? When did he die?
I believe the middle/end of last year. Not exactly sure how old he was.
@New Mercy Restoration Church WOW, what a blessing you are to Other's who have lost a child. There is still hope & not to give up! Bless your soul sista your so strong. And I'm so sorry that happened to your baby. 💕♥️
I haven’t gotten there yet, but God is making me. The wildness is necessary.
Go back and get behind God- Let him lead you. He will make your enemies your footstool. AMEN
Amen, this is so true!
Go back and get behind god- Let him lead you.
He will make your enemies your footstool.
Help me give up - willingly and follow Christ Holy Spirit!
It cost to follow jesus but the cost to follow jesus is worth so more Amen lord make me better
I am going to follow GOD. Make me better, LORD make me better. HALLELUJAH! Thank you JESUS!

Hello Pauline, happy new year to you and how are you doing?
This sermon was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥HOLY GHOST ANOINTED PREACHING! Bring that word Pastor Tudman!
On the road again… feels like the beginning of following the call is all about getting strong enough to be able to wear the Armor of God and to learn how to let faith be greater than fear. Jesus cost was his life but redemption prevailed. Still wondering was Jesus afraid when he asked God if he could change his path to the cross? Can fear be a protective emotion and not lack of faith?
I follow you Lord🙏🏾 lead me to my destiny and destination
Make me better, LORD. Make me better. I have been praying for this for a while now. Thank you JESUS for confirmation!🤲🤲👋👋👐👐🙌🙌✋✋❤❤
Hello sister in Christ! I just wanted to invite you to watch my testimony on how God healed me from the effects of a stroke and now I am able to walk and talk just fine. If he did it for me, he can do it for you. It is called: “When God Forgets”. I hope is a blessing to you.
Happy New Year!🥳 💕

Grace & Peace Everyone
When your heart and intentions are pure... You can stand before anyone... even the greats and generals of the faith without fear.👌🏾💯 When God or Satan comes to inspect me... let them find nothing of Satan's nature active within me.👌🏾💯
It's the dance between both that creates the lunatic in us
I'm following God
It takes Faith which takes so little and is worth so much!
18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. Ephesians 4:18.
God/Source of Life blesses us with discernment to receive truth. I pray that what you seek you find. I appreciate you sharing your opinion.
He's still making me!!! Hallelujah 🙌
Awesome ☝️☝️☝️if you want get some confidential interactions the above number is mine and is very simplified (of whom I am a patron) Mentorship, financial management, carrier, skill , expert Trader❇️. Gloryyy🙏
Hello Maribella, happy new year to you and how are you doing?
Thank you LORD! We just want to thank you!
I'm following God first
Amen, this word is a witness in my soul. The lord took me through a test last month, one day before the minister in training exam MP1 class. The Holy spirit told me to stay on His GPS and follow Him!!!
The only issues I have with this message is Pastor Tudman doing an altar call for souls and then FORGETTING ABOUT the SOULS at the ALTAR to collecti the MONEY OFFERING before praying for the souls ???!!!! WHAT ARE WE DOING????
This is what you call the body of the church and everything is working in a rhythm of God. Unity to follow. Thank you Jesus
Walking heavy Pastor Tudman

Hello Ashley, happy new year to you and how are you doing?
People begin to believe that God doesn't exist after they have not been in his presence for a while.
I am stuck watching this video,I am touched and I have great inclination to follow God through it all. Thank you Jesus.💙
Pray for me ...
Lord give me wisdom and knowledge to educate myself before i stand to teach .
Family in Christ...pray for me to qualify Lecturer exam in commerce. Amen.
We all need to come together and worship only one God with no partner
That is TRUE discipleship. Many want to lead but have not followed. The reason the Apostles had staying power is because they followed Jesus before they led others to Jesus.🙃👀👌🏾💯
Very 👍🏻 greatest thanks 🙏🏻 to bishop td Jakes. I always pray for ur family and ur ur healthy in Jesus name 🙏🏻💐💖

God is wanting you to come to him!! He loves us. You don’t have to wonder who has your back or who loves you!! Pray this prayer and have God come into your life.
Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God, that you died on the cross to rescue me from sin and death and to restore me to the Father. I choose now to turn from my sins, my self-centeredness, and every part of my life that does not please you. I choose you. I give myself to you. I receive your forgiveness and ask you to take your rightful place in my life as my Savior and Lord. Come reign in my heart, fill me with your love and your life, and help me to become a person who is truly loving-a person like you. Restore me, Jesus. Live in me. Love through me. Thank you, God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
