    I am 5 days clean now from addiction. I have been battling meth abuse as well as cheap motel rooms and even cheaper prostitutes. I have struggled to quit on my own several times with only to accomplish about 4 months clean time at my best. I am once again unemployed, another vehicle down, convicted felon, separated from my wife and kids and back at my parents house on an air bed at 38 years old. I am putting God first this time i was saved at around 12 years old and felt something i havent ever felt before or since that moment when Christ came to live in me. God has removed all of my distractions and humbled me to fix my eyes on just Him and know that all good things come from him. I have went weeks thinking i was about to die. Your sermons and teachings have been right on and line up with scripture they are getting me through this very tough time that seems impossible. Keep up the high energy and humor. I love how you deliver the message. May God bless you and your family. Thanks man, you've been a huge blessing for me in these hard times. Your brother in Christ Randy Lee

    I just fully finished this and I am in tears! I needed to hear this. This has been the hardest year of my life but this reminded me that even when things are dark the lord has a plan and is always with me and my family. This truly brought me to tears but tears. I ended this having an overwhelming sense that everything is going to be okay and I haven’t felt that is a long time. I don’t know when things will get better BUT I know the lord is with me and everything will be okay. Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much, Steven! It's been a very dark year, so many dark, hard nights alone, but He has been so faithful. Even the darkness is not dark to Him. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Ps 139:11,12 It's so good to be reminded that I've been kept in the dark by Him, with Him.

    My biggest takeaway? It would be that God is with me in the dark, I am not alone. He is with me, keeping vigil during the storms of life. He is my keeper, my protector, my shield, my buckler, my ever present help in times of trouble. He is fighting all my battles, destroying all my enemies. I need only to keep my eyes on HIM. And He sees me, (imagine that!! God sees me!! The maker and ruler of heaven and earth sees me!!) He watches over me, He is my Shepherd, to keep me in all my ways. GOD has KEPT ME! (in the dark) He is with me, He is for me, and He will fulfil HIS promise for my life and I need not be afraid. And in the light I will remember my God who has kept me and I will give him praise... in the light and in the dark because He is Abba Father, my redeemer, my hope, my Light and Salvation, my Lord and Savior and if I have faith and I put my trust and faith in HIM, nothing is impossible. He can move mountains and work miracles in my life, beyond that which I can fathom.

Of course I would rather listen to songs like Remember Me by Brandi Clark or other songs. That help as my grief begins. God TOLD me to listen to this message. Oh my, God’s timing is prefect timing!!! Praising Jesus that He once again shows me no matter the circumstances, I NEED to be in His word everyday! I appreciate this message, church and a positive way the internet can be used for God’s glory. Pray for our family as we transition her beautiful soul home to Jesus.

This time he's being resurrected and not born with the help of Mary. Death could not keep Jesus in the dark any longer. Praise God for rediscovering this sermon again. I needed to be reminded that God is with me in the dark. Speak to us dear Lord. Praises and Glory to the Son of Man.

    My husband had passed away suddenly leaving my children fatherless and me into a helpless widow with debts . I was afraid, I was living in fear, I worry for my children future but after hearing this sermon, I can now lift up my eyes , feels my worth restored, God will give my children a future, God will hold my family together. God will wipe away my tears and remove all traces of humiliation . My children and I are in God’s prophecy and His eyes will not leave us. I will not fear the loneliness of nights anymore for God will be with me. Thank you Jesus for showing me this sermon not by chance , but it was in His divine timing and plan. Thank you God for opening my spirit eyes . I now understand your goodness and grace. Praise the name of Jesus. Hallelujah . Amen. (Please Pastor, pray for my family to know Jesus more deeply and that we will never forget this day of His salvation . Amen!)

    We are preaching to me by your generous donations to this church You are preaching to a young 33-year-old disabled single mother who wasn't meant to have a baby is living on such a poor income that I go to the food bank twice a month but yet through these sermons God has been so good to remind me that his promise isn't over just as I have it seated yet does not mean he isn't finished yet as long as I'm breathing he is not done with me and for that in this church I am reminded through the songs especially the songs thank you for your wisdom in this church It is beyond what I've ever received in my local church because I have a few homes I'm very blessed to be a Jesus Gypsy yet I am forced because of judgment and confinement to worship the way I would at the upper room if that was close to me and so therefore I worship and praise Jesus in my house with my family and we have no bounds to how wild we can dance thank you again because of these sermons we can have freedom

    How prophetic that I am literally watching this right now at 4:10am. I am so wrapped up in His perfect love IN THE DARK. I love how He uses all things to remind us that He loves us and these little coincidences are not coincidental at all. He’s purposeful and intentional as to why He wouldn’t let me sleep tonight. He knew I needed this.

    At 38:01 I felt the Holy Spirit come upon me. At 47:49 my eyes swelled. This past year and a half has been the hardest of all the years of my life. And in the past month and a half I've been bitter and angry towards God for keeping me in the dark and allowing things to continue the way it has despite my faithfulness. I've been trying to claw my way out of this dry place with God, but I've felt stuck. Then along comes this spirt filled sermon, right when I became content with this valley being my new mailing address. Lord give me the strength to go these extra miles 😢.

You make is SO EASY to feel confident to invite someone to our church- bc I know they are going to EXPERIENCE Jesus and hear the undiluted gospel from the most vulnerable and transparent man. Every time He takes you deeper… you take so many people with you. Oooof the more transparent you become- the more people can relate- and the more they are drawn to the Father, Son and Spirit. I love you deeply and am so ridiculously thankful for you!!!!

    It's amazing how I just got turned on to you by my uncle 2 years ago. You preached things that always hit at home. It makes me very emotional. And 2019 July 3rd I fell into a coma for 49 days I died about three or four times I actually got to see what the actual life was like and I woke up on August 21st. I saw things beyond my wildest imaginations and my spiritual being has gotten so much stronger ever since. I'm actually on the verge of completing a book and a few months entitled The Miracle patient. The 49-day coma the afterlife and the life after to come. But I'll say all that to say that I love your preaching style and how it hits my heart when I hear you preach. I would love to meet you one day I'm located in Brevard county Florida if you're ever around this way 💖
