  • I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to God "God please give me a child!!!!!" that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test... it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really God all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He's turning 1 in a few days! God is good!**

    Was disobidenant to the Holy Spirit and moved to Kentucky with now my ex partner. The holy spirit convicted me and I was in spiritual warfare as soon as I stepped off the plane. Lost everything and one day I picked up my Bible and never put it down ever since. I am now moving in obidence and moving back to Florida to tackle an assignment God gave me after God prepared me for this during this time of Isolation. I'm nervous but I know ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER TO THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD!

    He’s brought me back from 3 hospitalization overdoses . The third one I was in a coma on life support until Jesus woke me up. He brought me home from 10 calendar years in the penitentiary. He has brought me back from several respiratory failures. Hallelujah! I’ve been saved for 1 year walked away from everything and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

    Amen!!!!!!! Wow!!! Thank you Jesus for Tony Evans. I am a domestic violence survivor. In 2019, I was falsely accused of Domestic Violence and forced out of my children's lives with a restraining order against me. I did not understand why God "left me". I was homeless and unable to see or even message my children. I couldn't even say "good-bye" to them. On my way to work each morning, pastor Tony Evans sermons were playing in the radio and through these messages God spoke to me and transformed my life. I was convicted, rededicated my life to Jesus, I was baptized, I was discipled. For 52 weeks I was court ordered to take batterers intervention program and a domestic violence class. I have paid for almost 3 years for something I did not do. But, God gave me the strength and prepared me to use that opportunity to share my faith. I am now a Certified California Domestic Violence Victim Advocate and trained for Prison Fellowship Ministry. I participate in local and global outreach ministry. I say all this to say: God can and will use anyone and any circumstance to bring glory to His name. If it wasn't me, He would have used someone else. We can be used in all circumstances. All the glory to Him.
