My husband, who is on the road for the most part of the week, has asked that I download some sermons for him to listen to while driving.
After a time of great vision and exitement in serving the Lord, he has experienced deep disappointment and is going through a trying time. He finds himself in a place where he never wanted to be and it is hard for him right now to even pray. My best evaluation of his situation is that he is holding on to resentment and feels utterly defeated, which affects his walk with God greatly.
I realize that it will have to be the work of the Holy Spirit to speak to his heart, and I'm hoping that He might use a good sermon to lead my husband back into a joyful and surrendered walk with Himself.
I haven't had the chance to listen to very many of the sermons on this site, so any suggestion as to what sermons might be a good choice would be greatly appreciated. I know, decisions decisions... :)

Don't have any sermons but can think of people's biographies that went through very tough times.


1) I was wondering, would Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured for Christ help. Its part of his autobiography. He's the founder of Voice of Martyrs. You can get it from youtube or sermonaudio. I'm attaching the sermonaudio one for you here.

Will also attach wikipedia and other info. for you here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wurmbrand

http://www.persecution.com/

I think his wife's testimony while her husband was in prison is also available somewhere too.

2) here are many others that had to go through great trials while trying to serve the Lord too. Eg: Watchman Nee, John Bunyan etc.


3)I also like the story of Joseph who left his job to preach the gospel as instructed by God. Went to a remote place, suffered and did not have a single convert for a few years. Here is his testimony. He's part of Gospel for Asia missionary group.

I want to recommend Zac Poonen. His sermon's bring life to me when im feeling down, have found very few people who's sermons do that to me.

I understand that all people are different though. I may be one of only a few people who feel this way about Zac's sermons lol.

Also, that recent sermon by KP Yohannan that was featured recently here on SI was an excellent sermon that might encourage your husband. But I dont remember the name of it, i'm sorry.

God bless

https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=4399 by Christs call to follow in His footsteps by K.P Yohannon

https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=8162 The Way of Cain By Zac Poonen
(Especially good for anyone who has been involved in Christian service.)

https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=10843 "A Time to Cry" by David Legge (This sermon sparked off great personal revival for me. What a heartfelt blessed word this is)

https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=270 "A Grain of Wheat" by Major Ian Thomas
(This is a great sermon to get someone excited all over again about what the gospel is, and what it affords its followers.)

https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=16813 "Humility vs Pride" by Gerhard du Tois.
(This is the best ten minutes of verbal communication anywhere on this entire website in my opinion. This deals with the proper attitude and disposition of a servant of Christ.)

There may be some I could add later.

Areadymind, that last sermon title you posted instantly caught my attention, will have to give that a listen.

We Need Never Be Discouraged - Zac Poonen

Anything from Ravenhill is good - but a start would be "Three-fold Vision". A. W. Tozer is a great spiritual giant to learn from as well. For the particular need you mentioned though, get Ravenhill's "What is Your Life?" that sermon is lengthy, but is well worth it. challenging as Bro. Len always was. Another sermon on that line would be "Die, Wait, and Get Alone" Pg. 4 in Leonard Ravenhill audio sermons. (All these can be found on this site)
Written materials are what helped me personally though. Sermons stir up, but reading lifts up - for that, an article on this site (www.straightpathsbiblechurch.com) called "Why?" and "The Almighty Hath Afflicted Me" should be edifying. They were written by the Pastor of that church.
Hope it helps.

Definitely agree about Zac Poonen. These messages were from a conference about 6 years ago. They still bless me now and have cleared up a lot of confusion for me.

(The Real Jesus) 1 Jesus Did Not Seek His Own by Zac Poonen

(The Real Jesus) 2 How Jesus Lived On Earth

(The Real Jesus) 3 Jesus Humbled Himself

(The Real Jesus) 4 How Jesus Served The Father

(The Real Jesus) 5 Jesus Overcame In Weakness


Edit: Links didn't work. Perhaps someone else wants to try.
A quick Google search will have the sermonindex page with the links in a second.

Sola,

You asked for sermons to download...I cannot add to the suggestions given - my mind draws a blank.

However, I do have one suggestion: how about doing a character study on the life of David? Carefully study his life - put yourself into his shoes, walk where he walked, deal with the opposition he did, the lack of appreciation by his family, his king for his excellence. Then read the Psalms - they are a journal of a man's walk with his God.

God bless,

ginnyrose

EDIT: The devil has you when you think your problems are unique to you, that no one has ever encountered the situations you did, has to cope with the same difficulties you do/did. If you study the life of David, he had a lot of good reasons to be angry, bitter. He even had the opportunity to kill his biggest enemy but he didn't. Check it out and be blessed.
