My oldest son has degenerative disc disease, has had 4 back surgeries, the last time they fused 5 discs. He has asked for disability 3 times and hasn't gotten it yet either, not able to work. All I can say my friend is, THANK YOU, thank the LORD, and AMEN! I will be lifting you up in prayer, Anthony, in Jesus name.

Father, I ask in the name of your son Jesus, to lift my brother up. Thank you for supplying his needs and according to your grace, wisdom and mercy, heal him. Use him according to your purpose as you already are. Thank you for his clear testimony. AMEN

tommee10533 thx brother, i appreciate the kind words. it can be discouraging at times but we gotta press forward....hope is a big deal to me brother. thx for the comment!

that Hope is a Blessed Hope which we have as an anchor of the soul which enters into the veil where our forerunner has for us entered. my Hope is Jesus our Lord. the bible also says "we are saved by Hope, but hope that is seen is not hope for what a man sees what doth he yet hope for ?."... every trial every heartache every time i've needed him he has always came thru, not in my time not as soon as i've asked but he answers in his time in his way. one day our hope our faith will end in Sight. then we will see him face to face as he is. whom my eyes shall behold for myself and not another. as well as everyone who has this hope. you hold on to that hope brother.

Sebastian Vestae thx Sebastian, i appreciate your comment....i hope you have a good one yourself

I agree there is always hope , just sometimes we get distracted and loose sight of it but it is there . I done construction for years , doing fire brick relining furnaces, chemical tanks , heat treating tanks ,steel mills , and it took a toll on me , there are a lot of days i feel so bad i do not even want to get up out of bed. So i know where you are coming from . .I have never met you , but from what I see you have a good heart , and dad always said, you can judge most by how good their heart is . That is why i like you tube , there is going to be a day that i will no longer be able to do work with my hands , and what i know may be worthless to most , but through you tube i can share some of what i know that may help others , and that gives me a good feeling . I have always tried to help others , but my life has completely changed in the last few years and i look at life a whole different way . I may not have as much money as when i worked as many hours as i could in construction ,and do not have as much stuff as i did at one time , but i have life and can help others and that is worth much more to me anymore than money . Money numbs the mind of most people . I do believe and judge no other

Darren Roberts thx my brother, right back at ya....you're the real deal!

I don't really know how to describe my beliefs, but I believe the Lord only hands us what he believes we can handle. That's why some are healthy despite abusing their minds and bodies, and some stay on the most honest path before God, yet end up ill. I've never had a healthy day in my life, being diagnosed with severe Asthma as an infant and still have problems with it. Then 20 years ago this July I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 35. A young man who had just bought a new home for my young family. I was also attending University at night to work towards a new career. I got my chance at that career 4 years later, a job I loved as the Safety Officer for the phone company. Shortly after getting that promotion my MS started worsening and in 2005 at the age of 45, I had to leave the job I spent 5 years of night school and worked at for just 6 years. To this day I can't go into the office just to say hello. It's a struggle every day living with a disease that has no known cause, no cure, a path of progression that is unknown at a time line that is equally unknown, affecting body parts at random for different amounts of time and severity. I choose to believe that every day I wake up is good regardless of the path my health takes. Stay Strong and know you have friends who care.

The hell with these socalled christians they are nothing more than Hippocrates, you just keep on keeping on brother. God does love everybody and sees us through difficult times he is helping me and you right now,i know he is helping me right now thru my hard times but I will survive so will you good luck and keep the vids comming.Amen sorry about the novel

Anthony, you’ve been helping many people this past couple years to deal with pain. Might be a different kind of pain but you’re someone very special my friend. We’re not going anywhere. Get your Suburban out and it will help you find the way… to the garden :-) and your faith and someone who loves you more than anybody will help you find the real way. Keep pressing my friend.

Oh dang, degenerative joint disease... :( My wife has that too. Its horrible. She had both knees replaced a couple years ago and next Tuesday she's having her left shoulder joint totally replaced. Man, you were denied disability too? Wow! Same with my wife. I can really empathize with you my man. My wife was baptized last month and I'm working towards it myself. This time last year I was a hard core atheist. Thankfully my wife and bible teachers helped me learn about Bible truth. Good luck brother! Keep on studying the Bible and praying to our God. The future is bright! Looking forward to the "real life". 1 Timothy 6:19

renragged sorry to hear about your wife bro, it is a crippling disease for sure. I hope her disability will be approved eventually....it's been a long process for me. man that is good news (the Bible Truth you learned), life made no sense without it where I'm concerned. Even the trials make sense now....I'm not the man I once was (in a good way). thx for your comment bro....i will pray for you and your wife!
