  • No matter the situation of Pastor Evans stepping down from his role, I will continue to listen to his teachings and cover him in prayer. I have always considered him my spiritual father and have learned so much from him. We have all fallen short and it takes bravery and boldness to repent and recognize when you are wrong. I have much respect for him and pray that he can overcome this battle in Jesus name. The devil has not won!
  • Pastor Tony Evans I’m praying for you and your family. Stay strong in your walk wit our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!

    REPENT & GET BACK TO WORK 💯 THE MOST HIGH GOT YOU 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽HALLELUYAH 👑HALLELUYAH
  • There's a saying in Jamaica,if you live in a glass house don't throw stones ..we are all born with the sin nature,we all have fallen short..only a coward hits a man that is already down. Dr Evans has confessed before God and has repented,he could have kept it to himself but because of his relationship to God he feels the need to do it the way of God. Don't tear him down,lift him up in prayer. Tony Evans is truly a man of God, and I know God will restore him in the fullness of time .this man has the heart and mind of Christ..

    Channel, please keep posting previous sermons from Dr. Evans during his season of being away from the pulpit so we can continue to hear His word.

    Praying for you Pastor Tony! We ALL have sinned! You’re following God’s way in how you are repenting! Satan isn’t winning this battle…God is! ❤

    Lord Jesus please give me strength. I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers and please continue to give me strength.🙏🏾

    I have been so blessed by the ministry God has assigned to Pastor Tony Evans. You’re in our thoughts and prayers. Like Peter and many others including myself, we all come short of the glory of God. Nonetheless, through the blood of Jesus Christ we are forgiven and restored.
  • @ese789
    Thank you Dr. Evans for a life of service unto the Lord and for His kingdom. I pray God will continue to strengthen you, empower you, give you favor and restore to you all the enemy tired to take from you. You are called for such a time as this to continue the message of the Gospel - Jesus loves, restores, forgives, heals, delivers, saves and is Lord!
  • @Lele-3891

  • @SamTheBreadGuy
    First heard of Tony Evans in prison years ago.. I would listen to him every day on the radio at 1:30. I love the way he put things
  • @DwightTimmons
    It’s sad you had to step down Dr Tony Evans. You’re my favorite pastor and I commend you on this bold conviction you walk in. May God restore you and your loved ones in due time! Amen
  • Few pastors preach like Tony Evans preach this brother has influenced my life tremendously down through the years and I am grateful for his style it's satisfying to the soul, the best message is usually the one we don't want to hear because it will prompt us to make changes and that's pretty much all of us, God bless you all
