Follow First - Pastor Joel Tudman

One of the greatest things we can do in our lives is to follow Jesus. “To follow” means to travel behind something greater and seek its good above our own. For a believer, that greater is Jesus Christ, and His goal is to make us better. It’s going to come at a cost that even Jesus paid, but the payoff will be far greater than you could ever imagine. All you have to do is answer the call, take up His cause, and follow first.

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen.

My fiance is in desperate need of prayer family. On new year's eve morning early morning I heard him calling me from downstairs, when I got downstairs he was laying on the floor foaming at the mouth.. He had a massive stroke. I waited for many years to fall in love with the right man and when I finally meet him the devil tried to take him from me. Please Lord keep this man of God! Heal him Father. We thank you in advance for COMPLETE RECOVERY!!!

I was not expecting him to sing Thank You Lord at the beginning and my eyes began to fill up. Lord, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

To have lost a child, a pain most will never understand. This man sang with such conviction. There's still a song in his heart. That's the strength of the Lord!🙌🙌

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"💕🙏💗

"Make Me Better, Lord Make Me Better" when he started singing that, I felt my spirit crying to be Better. Thank You Jesus

[barbaramorton]

I haven’t gotten there yet, but God is making me. The wildness is necessary.
Go back and get behind God- Let him lead you. He will make your enemies your footstool. AMEN
