fluctuating the next moment and all while you're going through everything you're going you still have reality you still got bills to pay you still have children to take care of you still have a business to run you still have school assignments that that you have to finish you still have obligations duties and and responsibilities that you got to take care care of oh while you're in the midst of this you're a leader so because you're in this leadership position a lot of weight is on you but you still got to live you still just trying to cope today I want to speak to you about the peace of God I

got a smile on my face today my leaders because today I got the peace of God I asked the Lord I said God what can I speak to your leaders today can I share this message can I share this message can I share this message I got a lot of messages I got to share with you all but the Lord said keep it keep it real you see as a as your internet Pastor as your certified life coach I'm not here to come on this platform when my life is just peachy that wouldn't be real life coaching to be honest with you if my life was just peachy and I

and I I had a number of good things to to tell you all how can I really show the example of the peace of God the peace of God that comforts you and I in the midst of everything we're going through today our I really want to share with you all some something of how to really obtain the peace of God what it really means to have the peace of God and how much strength is in the peace of God my leaders and today we're going to pray and I want you to open up in your Bibles to Philippians we're going to read out of chapter 4 and we're going

to read vers 6 and vers 7 Philippians 4: 6 in verse S and it reads then I'm going to pray I'm reading out of the KJV version it says be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God in the peace of God which pass all understanding shall keep your hearts and Minds through Christ Jesus heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Lord we thank you for your word we thank you for your peace we thank you for your love we thank you that you understand us God father we thank you that you understand our circumstance Lord

we thank you that even in the midst of our circumstance our experience the feelings that we may be feeling father we thank you that you're the god that is able to supply peace a peace that surpasses all understanding a peace that we can't obtain in any other thing in this world not through the drugs not through the alcohol not through the extracurricular activities dear heavenly father it is you that brings us this peace and my goal today as you use my vessel is to remind my leader to lean on Jesus Christ father I want to uplift the name of Jesus in this video I want to glorify your name and

I want to speak about a real encounter Lord allow me to share this experience with my leader today and allow them to receive a word that's going to give him strength that's going to give them motivation that's going to give them inspiration to know that you are with them even in the midst of their situation heavenly father I don't know who came on this video with any type of Burden with any type of problem I don't know what weight they are trying to hold by themselves Lord my prayer is that after this video Lord God they will give that problem to you it is yours not theirs it is your

problem you want to take care of it you want to handle it you want to release them from this thing so God my prayer right now as I speak to this leader is that you will cover them with the blood of Jesus and you will literally ignite and pour out this peace that only comes from you lead me today in Jesus mighty name we pray amen amen amen my leaders I'm on this video today to serve you and the very thing that I need you and I to be in agreement with is that even now during this video one we're going to be present okay and not only we're going

to be present we are going to lean on rely on the peace of God that surpasses our understanding and we're going to give this weight whatever it is whatever weight we're holding I don't know what it is for you write it down on a sheet of paper declare this issue right now and decide that I'm going to give this thing to God that's what I'm going to do I'm challenged to give y'all this message today because this weekend was a hard weekend for my wife and I it was tough it was a weekend that was similar to an exp experience we said we don't want to go through again I'm

going to do another video on this but just this weekend my wife who had been 23 weeks over 5 months pregnant as we went to the hospital this weekend multiple Physicians declared that they could no longer find a heartbeat on our daughter we're having a baby girl and here's the deal my leaders as we found the news that there was no heartbeat we said you know what we're going to go home we're going to pray because we serve a God that can do Miracles we serve a God that honestly Rose Jesus Christ from the dead that same holy spirit that same power that's in him is in us all through

the Bible we read God you are raising people from the dead Lord we have a daughter right now and she's not breathing her heartbeat is no longer there father can you do this thing for us we went home I anointed my wife's belly with oil and we got to praying we got to believe it in faith that God you can do a miracle you've done it in the Bible you can do it for us if it's in your will you can do this miracle we take our baby to the hospital the next day and on that Sunday morning after church shout out to the pastor Lorna Wells who prayed for

us shout out to everybody that was praying for us shout out to bar and his family the twins for praying for us everybody that was on our Corner praying for us the prayer team over at the church of Whit Stone praying for us shout out to Seth and his family for praying for us shout out to bird for praying for us Jamie for praying for us the list goes on we had a conglomerate of individuals praying for us family Ethiopia would they they my mother-in-law teda fetch their crew praying for us we're all in faith believing expected that a miracle would be be done a miracle will actually be the

name of our daughter we go back to the hospital on Sunday and on Sunday we get another scan ultrasound to make sure that this was a final word my wife and I pray before we do the ultrasound that God if this is in your will allow this baby to come back to life allow baby Miracle to come back to life my leaders they do the ultrasound and one more time the baby is is officially announced deceased and while we're in this moment and the verdict is there my wife I look over and I can see that for whatever reason God has put a peace over her spirit you see my

leaders this would not be the first time that this happened this would not be the second time that this happened my leaders this was the third time in our marriage that we lost a a child this was baby number three as of this video we haven't been married for more than two years now it was just coming on our 2-e anniversary coming in June and in the midst of these two years we've lost three babies this one got the furthest one miscarriage two stillborns birs where my wife had to actually give labor to a child that was deceased and I share this and I'm not going to go into great

detail cuz I can get more graphic there's another video I'll I'll share about this in detail but I'm sharing this experience because even as Believers in Jesus Christ we too if experience experience trials this was a Haymaker punch death is nothing short of pain and confusion and being upset and wondering why asking the questions why why why why why what did we do to deserve this what could we have done to prevent this oh maybe I should have did this maybe I should have did this maybe if I didn't do that maybe if I didn't eat this maybe if I didn't take this or maybe if I would have called

maybe if I would have checked it maybe if I would have came up with something maybe maybe maybe maybe and so in all our maybe and in all our wise there's some things that just simply have no answers and so you're left in confusion and you're left wanting to be upset de you're left ultimately questioning your your fate like man God do you are you still walking with me dang I don't know if you still walking with me that I do something how about and that's where we found ourselves in this third time we realize the reason why we had the PE of God was because when we found out

we were expecting this time we had already given this baby to God we said Lord this is your this is your child this is your baby we give this one to you and whatever happens happens and so when we found out baby Miracle is no longer going to make it and did not make it there's this piece of saying Lord we surrender this baby to you and this baby is in Greater hands in your hands than it would have ever been in my own hands in our hands and it was prophesied before the baby passed away as I went to serve on Friday I'm feeding the streets and as I'm

feeding them food the last lady that I feed food to she said your baby will see the sun and the boy that we thought that our baby was was actually a baby girl the woman prophesied and said that's going that's a daughter that's a daughter and she will see the son initially what I thought that meant my laders was that she would see the son she would see she would see Earth she would see she would be here on this ground like the sun is beaming on my bald head she would see the son no what she meant is your baby daughter will see the son of Christ Son of

of God Jesus Christ baby Miracle is with Jesus Christ my lady you may not be going through this particular scenario of loss but if you're watching this video you're most likely going through through something and if you're not going through something right now now you may be getting ready to go through something in this life we promis trials and tribulations and these are one of those scenarios where you ask the question ah should I keep leaning on faith and the question is yes because to be all honest with you now let me just be real with you if I'm not walking this Walk With Jesus Christ and my mind and

I don't have a sound mind right now and I'm trying to lean on my own understanding where there's no answers right now the doctors can't find any reasonable answers they don't know I'm going to put myself in a place that's unhealthy I'm going to be angry I'm going to be lost I'm going to be confused I'm going to begin overthinking again and then when you're in that space of overthinking trying to figure things out not leaning on Christ The Devil comes in to condemn you and then when you start to feel condemned you start to feel shameful and then when you start to feel condemned and shameful you get into

this spiral effect that puts you down into a hole where you looking for all these things to now try to get you peace and try to make you cope and the Reason God wants to allow you to give you he wants the burden because it's not something you're supposed to carry we have to surrender our daughter to Christ because now if I'm trying to carry this and I'm trying to look for my own peace and I can't find my own peace I'm going go back to the things that I was doing in Egypt he took me away from drinking heavy alcohol every every weekend he took me away from smoking

the weed in order to cope I ain't going back there he took me away from taking out my anger on people cuz I'm mad I need to take my anger out on somebody I need to curse somebody out I need to fight somebody I need to take I need to take my anger out on somebody that I love he took me away from trying to find peace in the world I need to go overeat let me go towards gluttony cuz food makes me feel comfortable God says to cast our cares on him and I'm wondering man dang when you're mad and you're angry and you're shameful and you're feeling shameful

a lot of times what we want to do we want to run away from God cuz now we start asking God questions like God man if you love me why would you if you love me why would you allow this to happen if you if you love me you would have answered me if you Lov me you would have heard me and I get it those are questions as humans we tend to ask I think about job in the word and as I think about job job lost all his children all his income all his resources and the Bible says he was blameless God saw that man as a blameless

man who had nothing wrong with him him but was allowed to be tested and in the midst of him being tested God is so faithful that after the test gave him a double portion and that's my expectation that Lord I don't care what I go through I'm not going to go away from you because you're the God that I serve and I love you regardless and I will give you everything that you need you told me to put away all these other things and I'm I'm still going to say God even though I want this thing even though I want these blessings I want you more I need you more

and this may seem weird for some folks to for you to have this type of faith for you to have this type of Peace but it's not weird for me because when I say I'm I'm on this video right now I'm smiling and I have the joy of the Lord is because I know that my daughter's at a better place and I know know the name Miracle that was given to her a miracle happened and I don't understand exactly what miracle that was but I know a miracle happened and whatever complications were going on in this pregnancy hey I still got my beautiful wife my wife is still here my

wife made it through when a lot of folks don't make it through these things pregnancy is a is a it's a special thing on a woman's body some women do not make it my wife is is still here but I know there's another miracle there's God is doing more the word says his thoughts are high than our thoughts and his ways are higher than our ways and so so Philippians check this out it says be careful for nothing in your version it may say be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God so let your prayer that's what

we've been doing we've been praying to God we've been asking God to have a peace in this even though we don't understand Lord God give us understanding give us supernal peace show us how to deal with this hard situation in the way that you would deal with it Lord what does it mean to cast my burdens and my Care on you how do I give it to you what does it mean now that my daughter died like this the second one in a year we just lost the daughter less than a year ago we just lost another one what does this mean how do I how do I give this

to you when I'm feeling what I'm feeling when I'm feeling what I'm feeling how I'm feeling how do I do it he says to pray Jesus Christ tells his Apostles pray that you may not enter Temptation cuz if I don't pray right now I'm going to enter the Temptation that the enemy wants me to enter and that's a dark place where I'm falling and I'm falling and I'm falling shout out to a sister in Christ Lily who came over yesterday to feed my wife and I in Fellowship she talked about different things as we fellowshipped and you know she helped us in what she was speaking about how sin when

we start feeling these shame and this guilt can lead us to just backsliding and backsliding and backsliding the devil would love to use this as a time for you and I to backslide into his game plan so what prayer does it it makes you pause it makes you stop for a moment so you don't do that initial reaction you don't do that initial impulse and you stop for a moment you pray to God you just talk to the Lord and you give your anger out you give your you give your desires to them you let this thing go you air it out in such a therapeutic way you give it

to him pray to God sometimes in my prayer I'm journaling I'm journaling on a notebook sometimes in my prayer I'm writing a prayer in the form of poetry cuz that's what works for me I'm rapping rapping works for me th I put on a beautiful instrumental and I just get to writing out my heart get to writing to God and I get to I get to weeping I get to leten it out so I go to God and I pray to God I talk to my father Abba because he's the prince of he's the king of Peace he is peace and then it says this in verse 6 be careful

for nothing in verse 7 and the peace of God which passes all understanding one of the things about God's peace surpassing all understanding is that now it's in Proverbs here's a proverb okay that really helps me and it's in chapter 3 and it says this in Proverbs 3:5 which connects with the peace of God topass and all understanding is this Proverbs 3:5 reads trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding so God's peace passes all understanding meaning you and I may not even comprehend how much that we can actually go through when we don't lean on our own understanding all the wisdom in

the world that I may acquire it may have may never give me the peace that I need for this circumstance because I just cannot fathom or intellectually understand this thing many of us have gone to universities we have our masters we have our PhD or we're just book worms right we're educated we're articulate but in that understanding in that worldly wisdom God say he chose the weak things to confound the wise so in our understanding he chose the foolish things to confound the wisdom of this world meaning all the wisdom that I can acquire of this world it truly won't equate to me having peace I need something Supernatural I

need something that ignites me in the spirit not in the flesh My Flesh I have no confidence in my my flesh I have no confidence in me trying to articulate and understand this thing I got to give this thing to God and trust God so it says trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding don't lean into your own understanding lean into God and it says this in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He Shall direct thy paths be not wise in thine own eyes fear the lord and depart from Evil right now in the area of your or pain the enemy wants

you to trust in him the enemy wants you to put confidence in your pain the enemy wants you to justify and rationalize condemnation the enemy wants you to justify torment the enemy wants you to say yeah man I'm I'm in so much pain it's justifiable for me to do the things that I want to do no it's not no it's not it's not justifiable for you to do the things that your flesh wants to do because now you're hurting and so now because you're hurting you want to go out and hurt yourself which internally is going to lead to you hurting other people hey my leaders as a leader I

got y'all that I got to continuously speak to but before I got y'all I got myself I got to take care of and I got to show up for myself and then the next person I got to show up for I got to show up for my wife I'm married I know my ring is in the wrong finger it's just too big I got to get it resized but I'm a married man okay I'm a mar married man so I got to show up for myself first and then I got to show up for my wife I got to show up for her I got to be there for her

I got to serve her I got to take care of her I can't go off into my dark place where I like to be isolated when it gets a lot of dark for me I like to be isolated I want to I want to do what I used to do in the past I can't go back to to to drinking a heavy bottle when I feel some pain I can't go back to always getting overly I can't go back to smoking a g and being out of my dam mind when I'm feeling the pain I got to lead a family still I got to lead a family I got a

wife I got to lead I got a wife I got to love I got a wife I got to be there for and I got friends I got a community I got to show up for but I got God that I need to serve and Obey and if I let this thing in this situation which is indeed painful take me away like that that means in my spirit I possibly made this thing an idol have I made wanting to be a father and Idol have I made wanting to have a baby in Idol have I made one in my life to be as perfect as I think it should be

an idol or and and have I made leaning on my own understanding and Idol Lord I give it to you Lord I don't even need things to make sense no more I was telling my wife this the other day this these Miracles and this fake walk the chch says Jesus Saves the way that he saves when he saved gyr's daughter from the grave from Death he said she was sleeping when the woman touched Jesus hinge and the issue of blood for 12 years disappeared hey I don't need everything to make sense the way Jesus Christ rose from the dead I don't need everything to make sense him healing folks of

leprosy and poliy I don't need it to make sense God I believe that you said give me your burdens I'm giving you my burdens Lord I believe that you're still king of kings and Lord of lords you're still on the throne you are still on the throne I believe if you could let job go through what he went through and then at the latter end of his life bless him the way that you bless them you still got a family for me you still got a family for my wife you still got these things for me and that's where my fate leans on me because I'm not here to lean

on my evidence the evidence is that there's been pain there's been loss we still don't have what's been prophesied to us it's cool but I'm willing to wait on the Lord those who wait on the Lord are blessed that's what I know and because I know that I'm going to hold on to that until I reach my last breath so as believers they can call us crazy all we want but that's the Fate that keeps me moving that's the Fate that keeps me pushing on this platform that's the Fate that keeps me coaching people that's the Fate that keeps me pastoring that's the Fate that keeps me serving the streets

that's the Fate that keeps me praying to God that's the fith that keeps me healed that's the fith that keeps me whole that's the faith that I rely on not just me but my household cuz as for this household we serve the Lord so we going to lean in faith because one of the greatest things faith my favorite verse my my Ministry verse Hebrews 11:1 now Faith is confidence in what we hope for and the evidence of Things Not Seen the evidence of things not seen right now in the physical is the future family that I'm looking for right I don't see that what I saw this weekend I saw

I saw my daughter died right what I saw last year I saw another one of my daughters pass away okay what I saw the year before that was another person passed away so the evidence of me building this big family is not there right but Faith now faith is the evidence of things hoped for in My Hope though in the vision of faith that I've seen that my wife has seen is there's a future and there's a family and if we don't yet see it now it does not mean we will not yet get there when we are in the educational system let's say you just went off to college

for that first year you're in the college you're in a Collegiate level of classes now and in that Collegiate level of classes what you're doing in that moment is you're pursuing this education you're you're pursuing this degree so that EV okay the evidence is that you're a student but and what you're hoping for is that this is going to get you to the career that you are looking and that you are seeking to go to this going to get you that to that career this going to propel you to whatever you're looking to achieve that's your hope but it starts today and some of y'all today may be at the

Collegiate level and yeah man this classes that you're faing you're faing and if you just look at the fact that you you fell in in these classes you may never think you about to get to the next place all right this is not a peaceful experience when we go through pain trials and tribulations and losses in any area of our life but it our life doesn't stop right here this is only a moment this is only a season in Ecclesiastes it says this there's a season for everything I'm going read this before I end the video cuz the holy spirit is leading me to Ecclesiastes so we just going to

go thank you Holy Spirit and as I read this poetic book and I believe it's going to be in Ecclesiastes let's see thank y'all for still staying with me I appreciate I really do appreciate y'all rocking with me right now and taking the time to get this word and I pray is I pray is help you Ecclesiastes chapter 3 it says there is a time there and to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose Under the Sun under the heaven a time to be born and a time to die a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted A Time to

Kill and a time to heal a a time to break down and a time to build up a time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mour and a time to dance a time to Cast Away stones and a time to gather Stones together a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing a time to get and a time to lose a time to keep and a time to Cast Away a Time to Rend and a time to seow a time to keep silence and a time to speak a time to love and a time to hate a time of of war and a time

of peace my ladies I love you but God loves you more and you're watching this video every last one of you watching this video I don't care who you are lean on God for your peace and I'm a firm believer that your life will be changed I smile today not fake smile but a true smile of joy because the peace of God that I've continued throughout the years to lean on is working for me he really does bring joy my life he really does bring peace peace in my life and this is not something that I can muster up myself and the same peace that I have even in the

midst of this the same peace my wife has and it's the same peace that I want you to have and today if you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior Please Please please choose Jesus even for the sake of the fact that there may be things that you go through in your life that you may not even ever understand why you just went through him you want to have his peace you want to have his presence you want the peace of God okay so I challenge you to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and your savior you feel him tugging you in this video today pick up

that call pick up that call your call is calling pick it up and answer the phone to to Jesus all right answer it all you have to do to accept Jesus as Lord right now in this video I'll do it with you is to confess okay with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God Rose Jesus Christ from the dead and you are born again you are saved even if it's a mustard seed just confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord my leaders I didn't have Jesus a long time ago and because I did not have Jesus I did not know how to cope

with real life and I and I really thought I'm going to be honest when anything happens in my life when I experience death the worst thing that I feel like you can experience in this life I will go crazy and I will go insane in fact if I did not receive Jesus Christ I would be going crazy I would be going insane after losing three children but I have a peace after the third loss that don't make no sense myad hear me what I'm saying that does not make no sense to be at peace after losing your third child it don't make sense sometimes I'm asking myself am I okay

am I am I okay yes I am because I know that everything belongs to God I own nothing to my leaders believe in your heart that Jesus Christ has rose from the dead by God your father and confess that Jesus is Lord the Bible says you have entered into this sacred place where you're air now you're Heir and this peace that I have the peace of God it ain't mine I didn't create it it's here it exists already we just have to receive it heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Lord father I just want to say thank you thank you for this opportunity This Time Lord I

know I feel in my spirit that I may have spoken for a long time and it's a longer video but I do pray that anybody who made it to this part of the video Lord that they were affected in a way that a life was changed Lord let not Miracles death go to the Wayside let this video have been something that somebody needed to hear like somebody's life and it gave their life to Jesus Christ after hearing this message like somebody believes like they've never believed before after hearing this message like somebody's at peace that was once not at peace after hearing this message that somebody is trusting you in

a way today that they've never trusted you before like a believer that was already in faith walking this journey can have even more peace and Faith to know that whatever they go through in life if they have you there's going to be a sense of Peace that's that passes their understanding and it's the peace of God that passes all understanding Lord God I'm praying that prayer right now that under the sound of my voice whoever was able to hear this message something shifted something changed something transformed in their life today Lord God and we just ask that you continuously cover us you continuously protect us and father we're choosing to
