The first fifteen minutes I struggled immensely and became kind of weak physically that I had a hard time up their. In my mind I was saying Lord If I remain this weak I might not be able to finish then the Lord began to strengthen me for the rest of the message. He really showed me who I was in the flesh with His grace and strength. Thankfully He stepped to help.

John, I just want to say that it gladdens my heart to see you mature and grow in Christ as is evidenced in this video. I remember your sharing in the past about struggling with oppression and even torment. I don't see any weakness or fear here in this video. God has shown you that we live and overcome by faith. And faith is like the organ of the eye. It always has an object. And that object is not ourselves or even faith itself but rather God and His Word.

And I want you to know that your speaking is very clear and compelling. I'm glad you finally found a church home. God bless you brother.

-Daniel

Thanks brother for the encouraging words. I’m very grateful For everyone who stood with me and prayed with me and even trusted that I was being honest and sincere with my struggles. I know that it came off like I think for some people like maybe I wasn’t sincere but I really was and it was very tormenting time for me. Thankfully I was able to overcome a lot of those feelings and emotions. But I’m so grateful for your guys encouragement and standing with me through that dark time in along with so many other people. I just praise the Lord for the body of Christ and for the Lord himself.I even went up there preaching with lotta weakness but the Lord help me. Hopefully the Lord encourages his church in 2023 in general throughout the world and that we can be what he’s called us to be.
