The Father of Mercy - Bishop T.D. Jakes

As the head of a family, you play a crucial role in this world. Loved ones lean on you for comfort
just like you depend on God for it. But don't be afraid to admit limitations as there is strength in
your vulnerability.

Think about Paul, one of the great patriarchs and architects of the New Testament. In 2 Corinthians, even he had to put pride aside and acknowledge his humanity. He demonstrated the importance of praying without ceasing.

You must believe and exercise patience! Reflect on how God’s blessed you in the past, and let those experiences fuel and fortify your faith.

Message: "The Father of Mercy"
Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 1:3-10 (ESV)

"Life will make you a professor, in the university of suffering "

[OldGospelSongs]

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤

Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40, 000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today I receive 85, 000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas CA and travel alot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me.

I love how real Bishop Jakes is in his preaching. He doesn’t sugar coat a thing and that’s what people need to hear today. Mental health matters, and God cares about our mental health and He is not clueless as to the importance of our mental health. He placed people and resources in this world so that we could have resources for these battles our human flesh deals with. He is well aware of the weight of our humanity, and we, as minorities and whoever else, have to get out of this notion that the presence of mental health issues means you don’t trust in God. You can be battling depression or anxiety, and STILL trust God. Because He never asked us to struggle with mental health issues, be quiet about it, and keep it moving. NO! He wants you to HEAL. Stop pretending like it’s normal that you’re having a STORM going on in the inside of you and fighting a war in your mind. Lean on God, trust in Him, AND trust in Him to lead you to the resources and help that you need. You are human, He didn’t ask you to be a robot. WHEN YOU ARE WEAK, HE IS STRONG!!!

👏👏👏👏👏 I failed my husband .. he needed something I wasn’t able to give him. I went about it the WRONG WAY .. I was trying to help him see where life had taken us so we could get back up together but I didn’t do it the right way . I said things I didn’t mean out of my own pain and everything has been so hard for me Im never able to show my love for him and give him hope and support. I believed in him more than I did in myself .. I know the pressure I put on him alot of times because he was all that I had..but it must’ve crushed him for years feeling responsible for things and our family and everything I needed emotionally, I’m so sorry I can’t put it into words how sorry I am that I wasn’t able to give him hope and love like I wanted I do love him so much I pray God helps him rite now in Jesus name give him his heart back. Amen. ❤

👏🏽 God allows affliction, attacks & suffering to grow us to the next level. 🙌🏽

[christinethorpe]

Bishop, I understand what your saying about us woman suppos to be supportive to our sons, father's and husband, however when I use to be married I did the best I can with him, I did the best I can with my 18 yrold son, and I did the best I can with my father. So now it's I God's hands💯 I have to let go and let God and focus on maintaining my relationship with God and work on me😇💯

The spirit of heaviness will make you absolutely want to die! Yet the father continues to give life in spite of it all!!

You cannot have the comfort without suffering 😮‍💨

[joyduhwrld]

that was good! my key take away is that you cannot reap what you don’t sow and you cannot have the comfort without suffering
