Trusting God in the Dark

Having been paralyzed for close to four (4) years now, I struggle quite a bit and many tears have flowed...I have never been closer to the Father than I have been these last few years..I trust his reasoning and if my condition benefits another person in anyway...So be it...My children certainly don't take as many things for granted and I tell them that if the Son of God can endure a whipping and nailing to the Cross for me, then I can handle anything He asks of me...Great sermon as always, Pastor Begg.

If you are watching this sermon today, may you be blessed by it.

One of the few pastors who make you fall in love all over again with the Word of God 🙏

Shoutout to everyone who’s been going through a trial for YEARS and is trying to come to peace with a probable lifetime of struggle and anguish. May we stay focused on the glory that’s to come, when this life is properly seen for as short as it really was.

Amen! I was taken down with immune system Dysfunctions, in 1997. I was 47 yrs. old; still young and a healthcare worker. I had Christian background, in churches since a child, thought I was saved and, knew my life wasn’t right. This time began many years of pain, struggle and heartache. It also brought me back to my knees (not literal, as I couldn’t kneel anymore). Life is still hard for me, but each day I have assurance Christ is with me, I trust Him more and more! 🙏🧡🙏

“Roominating upon trouble is bitter work. There are certain things which are better to swallow than to chew.”

Feeling so desperate before listening to this sermon, but oh, how these words ministered to my soul. When my heart is overwhelmed within me, lead me to a Rock that is higher than I. Thank you so very much, Pastor Alastair.

Mr. Begg, I have been listening to you at least four days out of seven for more than a decade, now. I want you to know how glad I am that Jesus is using you. Thank you for your service in the spiritual war.

Please pray for my wife Adriana and I. She’s been wandering and turned from the Lord, running to sin as opposed to our Lord and Savior. I trust God will bring her back, heal our marriage, bring full restoration according to His enduring love and mercy. I wait upon the Lord expectantly! Please pray for her to return to the Lord and for our marriage in Jesus’ mighty name! That the demonic strongholds, demonic influences, shackles of sin be broken in Jesus name, according to His perfect timing. May He develop what’s necessary in me during this painful trial for His glory, for His purpose, for His plan! She says, “Let Him keep coming after me. I need that because I won’t go back to Him on my own”. I know the power of prayer and the God I serve. There is no mountain too big!! Thank you all, love you.

Alistair Begg is absolutely my chosen pastor, even though it's only online and on the radio. No one speaks to the spirit and the heart with the words of God like he does. Thank you Alistair, for ALL that you do.

As I sit in the hospital with my very sick child, thank you Lord for this message of your great faithfulness and infinite grace.

Today is august 23 2023. requesting prayers for my daughter to get custody or our niece who is foster care. we had her for 6 months and they relocated her due to something we did. She is 6. She was exposed to witchcraft, drugs, and verbal abuse. She loves church we introduced her to it. She made friends with everyone in class and would get ready and wake us up to get ready on Sundays. God has truly had his hand on her. I’m 55 and as I get older I can look back and see how God has moved thru my life. Now I’m watching and feeling it play out in front of me. This will be over by Jan 7 2024 by court order so we’re told. Add her to yoir prayer list please.

Many years ago in seminary one of my professors said "when you find yourself in the valley never make a major decision until God puts you back on the mountain top." Love this...

Lord to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life.

What a wonderful message to those of us who are more "Eeyore" than "Winnie the Pooh"!

Thank you pastor for making your Sermons so plain and concise! One can. Easily Connect! PRAISE GOD🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌈

Jesus is the ONLY way. Don't be fooled by thinking you can outweigh your bad deeds with your good deeds. Don't be fooled by thinking you'll be reincarnated to something else. Don't be fooled with false prophets, who are inwardly ravenous wolves. The only way to the Father is thru the Son. Trust in Christ, put your hope in Him and Him alone. You cannot save yourselves, only He can save you. Turn from your sin and repent. May God have mercy on you.

This message has encouraged me in the darkest times. “Trust in the Lord and do not lean on your own understanding.”

There is always treasure to be found in the darkness!

Amen. I have sometimes gone into my car and screamed at the top of my lungs out of sheer frustration because of much spiritual warfare (& hoped that no one has heard me). The Lord always binds up my wounds. Psalm 33:4 The Lord is faithful in all he does.
