I have been reading the Bible nonstop for 1115 days, finished the entire Bible 3 times in 2020 as I was suffering symptoms of PTSD. I thank God for helping me overcome all the delusions and fears because of His Word. Matthew 6:25-34 is my favourite. It is the Lord who provided, and I accepted it. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who deserves praise, glory and honour.
Wow... weldone, keep it up. God's word is light and life, and you can never go wrong in reading it.
Such a wonderful news and well done to you for your bible ( book of life ) reading journey👍🙏.! Great achievement！t.Keep it up and always hope , love and stay in faith.
God loves u. 🌈 Scotland.
Q1
Desperation is an unlikely gift 🎁 isn't it? I get it my friend. Sick for ten years mostly in 🛏. Long story. But I lovehatelove being housebound. Majorly interrupted. Best thing to ever happen to my marriage and family. I'm growing like a weed. Spiritually. I'm grateful and extremely uncomfortable.
I get your unlikely gift . ❤
Thats really wonderful. Jesus Christ is the WORD
Realizing my identity in Jesus literally saved my life. I was raised by narcissists and the image of which I saw myself did not match how Jesus sees me. Learning the power of relationship with Jesus has been the miracle that has saved my life. I am so excited to be His. I'm getting baptized on July 10th. A new birth certificate. I am not the daughter of narcissists, I am the daughter of The King of Heaven. I do not need to beg for scraps. I am a princess, I was born to lead people to Jesus so they can be healed through His love, just like how He healed me.
Congratulations on your baptism welcome to the family of Christ
Forgive ur parents
Amen!! Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful healing!
Good point, I have to change my thinking… I too was a child of narcissist which is the spirit of Jezebel… it’s not they fault they were possessed and intern my son had to suffer from my childhood trauma but as you said I am no longer that child I am a child of the most high seated on the right side of Jesus Christ! Thank you for your comment and that Jesus for his blood 🩸 all is buried under the blood… I’m sitting hear sad for my son and realizing my not wanting to be among mean ppl and isolated from family… I don’t want to be alone from ppl anymore, I need to keep recognizing who I am now and step out on faith ❤
My husband was abusive and left me and my boys after 25 years of marriage. I am facing a lot of grief mixed with anger and pain. Please pray for us. I pray for God to do a miracle.
Praying for you !!!

I understand.
I’ll pray for your English to get better 😂
Listening to this at work and Pastor you're touching my soul because it's exactly what I thought. I was a victim of rape and I absolutely blamed myself and said there was something so fundamentally wrong with me that I couldn't distinguish between good and bad people and it was my fault - it was because I was broken. I absorbed all responsibility for someone who take away my choice. This is such an important message! Because it's so easy when you go through trauma to end up blaming yourself.
If you know this man and want me to beat his ass! Let me know‼️ I’m serious .
So sorry that you went through that
Shalom sister, hope you are doing well especially during these unpredictable Covid-19 Pandemic, End Times 🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️💞😊
Heart is with you. So Sorry you had to go through such a bad ordeal. World can be evil. God bless you and give you strength and forgiveness for the future.
I pray the Lord heals you, brings you comfort and peace in Jesus name ❤️ I know how easy it is for the enemy to put that on us. It’s a struggle, but the Lord can and will set you free in Jesus name!
I came back home in 2015 at the age of 61 to care for my elderly mother. After 6 years mom passed away in her home of over 60 years at the age of 85. I did everything I could to make mom comfortable and make her environment peacefully. Even when it became hard as the 24/7 caregiver, GOD always gave me the strength to keep going. The entire time I was caring for Mom my family members constantly and consistently criticized everything I was doing for Mom. One of my brothers who lived close by treated Mom and me like an ATM machine and when mom passed he immediately started sending me text messages demanding I give him money. The texts have been coming 4 and 5 times a day for over 30 days. Calling me names and threatening that he has an attorney. I can’t even grieve Moms passing for dealing with all the criticism on how I did the funeral and everything I did for mom. I protected and shielded mom from as much negativity that I could. This sermon has blessed me. Thank you Pastor Rick.
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD !
Have i told you Rick lately that i love you?
Aw
I've been in traumas & struggling for 10 years. Thank you.
Jesus help my friend Nguyen. It's hard down here sometimes. We just need a hug from Yourself( however that would work. ) I ask for courage and for perspective. I ask for tiny daily beautiful gifts 🎁 even if it's just a cool breeze or the smell of fresh 🍞. Mercy Yahweh. Mercy for my brothers and sisters 🥺
@@jenniferboyd2200 Amen 🙏 ✝️
I so needed to hear this today. I was so angry at God after my big brother took his own life last month. Thank you Pastor Rick.
My dad killed himself last January 😢
To Dave & Cheri It's hard to imagine strangers caring for others but, your losses and pain matters to me and other christians. I'm so sorry. You are both strong to even talk about it. God is our strength and refuge.
Prayers for you ..😥
To Cheri and Dave. I am viewing this a year after you had written this. I am so very sorry for your losses of your brother and your dad.
Our prayers are for you that God may continue to heal your hearts. 💖✨

Hi from Crossroads Church in North Canberra capital of Australia!!:) Hello to Rwandian people and president:)
The film 'The Shack' puts this message across well about why God doesn't wipe out evil people here and now. If you've ever experienced trauma like I have, that film will bring out all your hurt, have you crying and then bring you into understanding of God's love in your pain.
@@IMPACTPodcasterAcademy I watched it on Netflix

Freedom to choose is real, as demonstrated by all the wrong choices we have made. Heaven will be filled with people that have chosen to love and obey God. What a wonderful, and terrifying gift , freedom. Make the right decision!
WOW, I NEEDED THIS MESSAGE RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU PASTOR RICK. 💜
Thanks God for Jesus Christ always know s our pain
My grandparents flee to Uganda during that genocide and I never got to know much about my origin from Rwanda, I rmbr asking my auntie about my great grand parents but I was told all died during that tough time, but I am so glad that saddleback is part of Rwanda, it's such a beautiful country, thou ive never been there, really clean with a great President. Thanks Saddle back
I needed to hear this.
thank you very much...and God bless
Powerful message, indeed! God can bring beauty out of the ashes...The Lord is able to restore us all, no matter the pain and injustice! His perfect love "wrapped in forgiveness" defeats evil over and over. "Father, help us to embrace such a gift to see Your wonders!". Love you very much, Dearest Pastor Warren. You are one of my Heroes of the Faith. May the Lord bless you and give you long life to be a blessing to so many!!! Lucia
I NEEDED this! Thank you Jesus and thank you Pastor Rick Warren
Wow what a redemptive list of nations seeing the truth in Godly healing through Rwandans leadership 💜🙏🔥
I'm currently experiencing lots of trauma with mixed feelings with anger, hurt, being abusive, being abused, facing divorce, abandonment, neglect, rejection, betrayal, being lied on and manipulated etc etc. But at the same time I have done the same things as well. Pray for me as I continually seek forgiveness and Repentance as well as extending mercy and grace and everything else. I'm not better and not trying to be perfect. Christ lives in me a d his holy spirit brings great impact to the inner depths of my soul. I need help and need love and need to grow. It's not just them but it's me too.
Am I ever glad I came across this and decided to listen to it! The deepest questions I've ever pondered, finally an answer to them that properly explains it. Thank you so much, Pastor Rick Warren, for this message. I needed this!
Such a brave person this man always caring to care
I'm crying tears of joy and gratitude. I praise the LORD for turning bad into good. Your book changed my life.
Which book?

Thank you for sharing. I like what you said about helping by teaching. God bless you.
Evil is not the opposite of God, but the absence of God.... There's a difference
Hi Charmaine. Evil is circumstantial and not that simple. 2 Reasons for evil. 1) Evil did not exist before Richard Allen Davis kidnapped 12 year old Polly Klass, on a whim, from her bedroom in front of her slumber party friends. He raped her at a different location and killed her when he was through. 2) The second reason is the "whim", the thought to kidnap her. When this thought entered Richard Allen Davis through impulse, he could not control this impulse's excitement. These impulses and our inability to control them is one of the big problems with humanity. I will say these "impulses" are set into us by god as part of the curse (not the Adam and Eve curse). It's the we are "fallen" before we are born curse that obliterates innocence and who we really are, individuality. This is why Free Will is, never was and never will be available to humanity. Psalm 51:5 - Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
The impulses that Otty Sanchez had she could not control when she butchered her three week old son, ate some of his toes and parts of his brain. God is responsible for allowing Otty to be born with this future ahead of her - God, to Christians, is omniscient, so he witnessed Otty cutting into the infant as it was screaming from the initial slices and chops. God was not absent according to Christians. He was present as he watched the Canaanites being butchered.
Is God willing to stop evil, but unable?
Then he is not powerful (god).
Is he able, but unwilling?
Then he is not good.
Is he both able and willing?
Then how can there be evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

How can God be absent when He is Omnipresent
How much I love u Pastor..
Wonderful message..👍👏👌
Yes God is g0od ..
Yeah, training and teaching is the key to help poverty! That is the KEY!
Awesome sermon that is still relevant in 2022 ❤️👌🏿🔥🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. Praying for South African leaders to join the purpose driven movement🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦. I am in awe of President Paul Kagame's leadership in Rwanda 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
This is so profound and speaking of how gods love and compassion works through our fellowman. Is purely divine wisdom.
Thank you dear Lord for the life of your son Rick Warren, thank you for using him for your glory. I love this explaination why evil exist. This is the best I heard so far. 🥰🙏 Praise God!
Your amazing... I love you as a man of God. Your the real thing. I'm rather thankful of you!!!!!
Thank you Pastor Rick. I know that I love God, because it is my choice. Through His Grace and Mercy, God accepted my husband to leave this life when he had no where else to turn. He prayed to Jesus that fateful morning, begging Jesus to accept him that afternoon. But what do I do in the meantime? I praise and worship Jesus, because you recommended Rom8:28. It is STILL very difficult, but I am maintaining with Jesus at my side. AMEN
I'm thankful for Rick Warren for his words about life and God truly speak to me. I was surprised to hear about Rick's son commiting suicide this puts into perspective that great loss and Trauma can affect everyone in life no matter how devout to God they are. We are all human and we all suffer greatly at times. We are never truly alone. Thankful for all my blessing and everyone I have in my life♥️🙏
I am suffering from wthdrawals from pain pills taken after my 2 hip surgeries. It is only when I am listening to your sermons I have any peace and rest. Thank you.
I totally get it. God bless.
Praying for you, Mrs. Shirley. God WILL deliver you!

OMG. I can't fathom greater pain than losing a child 😢
Thanks Rick, God is good
Pastor Rick .. thanks for this message. I'm currently experiencing a traumatic experience now. I just broke up with my bf. He broke up with me last Monday but before that we had series of fights and we always tell each other to break up. Today i told him I accepted his discussion. But its so painful because I built this bubble world that we have future together. 2 weeks ago he told me (after almost 2 yrs in the relationship) that he does not want to have kids and no plans of settling down. My world shattered but I still choose to be with him. Last weekend we had another fight. Monday he broke up with me. We still talk from Tues and Wed. Come Thursday I just texted him to say that I've accepted his discussion and that I want to move on. I feel its unfair that I ended in text (though he broke up last monday). Every time we talk after the fight I end up always feeling guilty because he always says that its always my fault. .. then I will patch up with him and saying sorry with guilt. Now I decided to just text him and disable my fb msgr... and move on. I know he loves me but I'm so traumatized every time we fight that he always blaming me. I feel that he is manipulating me and I'm hurting.
Im feeling lost and broke. Your massage helped me calm down. Thank you.
We love you Pastor Rick and Kay Warren.
Thank you
Thank you so much. Just what I needed to hear. You made my night.
Thank you for details and support and cooperation and nice councelling and motivation 👌
Love this
Truth being the most critical part of recovery.
LOVED THIS Thanks
Hugs and love to all. I know how you feel as I have repeated nightmares everyday hugs all. God loves all and he sees and he restores your hearts.
You're comment really helped me. I default to blaming myself for trauma dreams flashbacks and memories but reading your post helps me feel I don't need to be hard on myself for having bad dreams of trauma. God bless you.🧸
@@LoveandHoney you're so welcome it's not your fault at all the devil is just evil and likes to guilt trip is and make me feel it's our fault and we are responsible for his evil
It's hard to recover from the trauma as a child. I was drowned by my father as a child, I couldn't tell anyone. So many years I wasn't able to process it , I just had depression, anxiety. The pandemic gave me a chance to finally process it and remember. I just wanted a normal life why was I abused?
Same here. Didn't want for much, only to have a loving family. It didn't happen. It makes me so sad.
This is very helpful, thank you!
Time to heal. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this message. Being African I can say President Kagame is doing inspirational work of transforming how we handle conflict in Africa. May God continue to lift good leadership in Africa. Amen.
Without fogiveness its hard to die with hope
What a humble President...
God is bring good from evil in Rwanda.
Excellent 😊
Praise the lord god people. amen
I love Pastor Rick Warren and President Paul Kagame. They are great contributors to the human race.
It's all good stuff regardless of your beliefs or church

Just how many traumatic experiences with Rick Warren have there been?!
While I totally get that evil exists because we make evil choices…how does that apply to an innocent child who dies from illness?
Me and my brother Charlie
The US could use a bit of Paul Kagame's teaching and experience right now
What do prople mean by that statement god can bring message out of a mess but how does a person get over the horror that happened to them eg effects life long of childhood abuse
Trust God. Faith. Read His word and seek Him. Begin to believe His promises in His word. Ask Him for more faith if you feel weak in Faith. But above all, just trust Him. Christ came for people like you and I who are crushed and broken. He CAN heal your heart. And He will if you allow Him. It's a promise.
I have a question so the Lady wearing a Yellow Coat already Ressurected and Got reincarnated?
She said she came from genocide Incident that was during WWI? 19th century
and this video is 2years ago . 2019?
Truly inspired by Rick's preaching. By the churches far reaching global hands and fingers into so many countries in Africa 🌍. The concept of no orphanages.. is wondrous. As the cultural idea is generally the child brings spirits of dead family members into new homes. So how have adoptive families kept adopted kids [Only Asking] In Zimbabwe daily genocide for the last 40 years as high ups pillage and more the beautiful country of mineral, average human, flora and fauna wealth. All the while villages being wiped out, abducted, killed trying to have voice. Forgive me. I have not heard you were here
40 mins in and I haven’t heard anything about Jesus is the answer. 😩
What is the price of the presidents present?
Demons also make people do alot of wrong things in this world.spirtual warfare
I'm just telling like one of the 72 others appointed Lord Jesus Luke 10, 17-20, and One of my neighborhood it's along time ssuffer from convulse and I now my neighbor have a evil spirit, and the name Lord Jesus my neighbor heal, holly spirit guides me too now how to destroyed all the devils im the one of the servant of God like spiritual healer.
