Great message Jimmy. I was reading Daniel 4 this morning (and praying that all the God fearing Churches in this Country get their noses in Daniel, or Psalm 2, or some Prophetic passage as NOW is the time!) as God took such great lengths to strip Nebuchadnezzar of his pride. He does that to all of us, until we eventually all get Saved.... For some people that will be in His wrath. I’m watching right now as God puts all the pieces in place, knowing that His ways are higher, and trusting Him that He has every base covered, even mine. And I can rest; truly rest in Him. He’s got this, and my job is to walk where God sends me, and do and say what God tells me and not take things personally. He is at work! It’s not about me. It is totally, and completely about Him. And now more than ever. The final curtain is upon us. God laughs... and we are almost home. Blessings! You are a good and faithful Servant. Thank-you for all you have done, and will do, to turn the tide towards Him. 🌻

Good morning Kris, I just saw a comment from our Carol McHugh (Fort Myers, FL) and she really needs our prayers. She is still without water & electric and charging her phone in her car. Carol:: “Came home to find my neighbor telling me that my large palm tree that fell across our in the ground water meters and is bubbling up. He told me that if water authority does not fix pipes when water comes on we will have a geyser 20 feet high that eventually flood my street and lower pressure for my community which has 1250 homes. I got through to water authority and explained that this is an emergency emergency!! Please TP family pray for them to come soon. GB you my brothers and sisters. Carol“

Praying!! Thanks Kari. Jesus, thankyou for getting Carol through to the water authorities. We know that was a miracle in itself, and we ask that You will make a way for those pipes to be fixed before the flood comes. Jesus, help all who are in positions to help there on the ground, to have the tools and equipment they need, to resolve these problems quickly. In Jesus name we pray! You are the miracle worker!! 🌻

Re 'trusting in': I have always found encouragement in Job 13:15, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." Despite Job not understanding why everything happened to him and God never giving him a reason, he said those words. And a quote by A. W. Tozer, 'The only safe place for a sheep is by the side of his shepherd because the devil does not fear sheep, he just fears the shepherd.'

Good morning TP family…. I feel burdened this morning to pray for our sister Carol McHugh. It’s been 4 days since Hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers but for all of the people there still living this disaster needs our fervent prayers. I told her I would share her comments today so we can pray together. Carol is a strong lover of Jesus and He will take care of her this much we know. Praying countless people in Florida turn their hearts over to the Lord. Carol:: “Hello Kari, So good to get your message. My family and I are blessed of the Lord. My son in Ft. Myers got water and electric last night. My daughter, my brother and I are still without but my daughter has a generator for frig, fan and TV. Shock wears off and then we learn of more destruction and deaths and we just pray. Help from first responders and national guard exceptional. My granddaughter is volunteering on Ft. Myers Beach, My daughter will volunteer for 12 hours at a shelter and my firefighter grandson will be back on duty tomorrow. One of his fellow firefighters had to swim over a mile to save his pregnant wife! Curfews in place. Gotta go. Need to charge my phone in car drive home. Love you all! Carol“ 💛

Thank you Pastor Evans for your words of encouragement. I don’t know if there’s been a time I’ve been MORE encouraged. It seems the more wicked the world is getting the more I’m seeing miracles and my prayers are being answered.

I want to thank everyone who prayed for healing for me. Our prayers were answered. I’m so thankful we’re serving a living God who knows what we’re going through. I tested positive for Lyme disease and Query Fever seven years ago. The doctors concentrated on treatment for Lyme NOT the Q fever. Because Qfever is so rare in the US very little is being done to help those of us battling this disease. I got it through transmission from a tick.

Long story short…God heard my plea and I’m on the road to recovery. PRAISE HIS BLESSED NAME ♥️♥️♥️

♥️♥️WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE♥️♥️

I realize we might have scared you but like Esther said if you’re seeing a doctor you might have noticed the “Target mark” or some signs something was off. Insist they start the necessary antibiotics and that will stop this immediately.

Esther M. Smith's avatar

David…Thank you for reaching out to me regarding Q fever. I am all alone in trying to find someone in the medical field for help. I have to tell you that God hasn’t healed me of Q Fever; however, He has helped me arm/ research myself with knowledge from the Center For Disease Control, NORDS, Lyme disease Association, etc., to give to my doctor. NO ONE has ever heard of this disease. I’m in tears as I write this post. I got very sick in 2015 and was finally diagnosed with it in 2017.

The doctors treated me for Lyme disease but NOT for Q fever. I’m now chronic and just three weeks ago, I convinced the doctor to treat me with doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine. The horrific pain is subsiding but the medicine has “burned” my knuckles. My life took a complete change in a very short period of time.

WOW…I still can’t believe I’ve found someone who has had it. Do you live in the US? If you wouldn’t mind I would love to reach out to you with many more questions.

I’m so happy God healed you. I’m still believing He will for me too. At least I’m getting some treatment for it. That is one reason I’m looking forward to the return of Christ Jesus:)

Thank you once again for contacting me.

We are rejoicing with you🙌🏼🙌🏼 When I got alpha gal in 2007, no one, absolutely no one had ever heard of it until an article came out in USA Today. (I had someone tell me it was all in my head ugh) My MIL cut out the article and mailed it to me. I thought she was crazy — a tick bite caused my red meat allergy? But, she was 100% right. Although there is no cure, I avoid all red meats and haven’t had any issues. But, God heals and I want to also remain hopeful. I believe this tick bite weakened my immune system, GI issues and inflammation in my knees. It’s all related from nasty tick saliva. Crazy right! We will never stop praying & hoping for healing ❤️‍🩹

Great Great biblical reminders Pastor Evans! This installment is like a energy juice bar in the Sahara! We down it, we carry on! My sword is sharp, and the Holy ghost is ready to work given the opportunity! Yesterday in a Walmart parking lot I got to pray for a man named Dan. It was awesome because my wife was with me and got to experience 1st hand my "run thru that open door" and "hit it while the iron is hot" kind of living. Dan is a thirsty man and by the time we were done praying for him I was on pre rapture cloud nine!. I gave Dan my phone number, pray that he calls me up for questions! Love you guys and gals!

Praise the Lord Chris! Go go go Brother. I was not going to share this :BUT: To God be the Glory. About two months ago. I witnessed to Jose: he is a high school senior and sits people for meals at La Fiesta Restaurant. I prayed for him and gave him a New Testament. He works all the time: goes to school and works out at the gym. He didn’t know anything about the Bible ( nor his parents). I believe he told me they are from the Catholic background. So, a couple of weeks ago (the Holy Spirit) provided time at his check in counter to lead him to Christ. I ask him if he would like to accept Jesus into his heart and life and he asks; how do I do that! So. I prayed with him and had him repeat the prayer to receive Jesus. My class teacher gave me some salvation tracts : which I took to him and an invitation to our Church. He was so excited as he hasn’t had a lot of time to read the New Testament. So, today a few ladies in my class went there for lunch. I ask him about the tracks and he said he gave them to his Grandparents to read. Praise the Lord: Yea God. He is so on the move. I’m still praying for him and his family. Just wanted to share as we all encourage one another. I think about the lost and where they will spend eternity and is heart breaking. So; as I said to God be the Glory TP family. Yes, I’m praying for Carol and many in Florida to come to know. the Lord that are not saved. Also praying for the responsders who are helping restore homes, water and electricity. God bless each of you and enjoy your week. God is Good and faithful! Amen 🙏. lol. Long posts .

Thank you Pastor Jimmy. This is so encouraging. Paul said if I boast of anything, let me boast of the Lord. Please allow me to boast about our glorious Savior King. My husband and I are musicians, and we have been doing prison ministry in south Louisiana for many years. We went to the prison last night for the first time since March, 2020 (two weeks before the world shut down). Last night we lead worship, and then my husband gave his testimony. Six men accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We had many people praying for anointing and for the Lord to do what only He can do. And He did it. He is so faithful. If the Lord had come back last week, these six men would be spending eternity in hell. But the Lord in his mercy touched their hearts. Now they will spend eternity with Jesus. Last week, I literally cried uncontrollably and told the Lord that I was broken-hearted. This morning, part of our Bible readings was Psalm 147, He Heals the Broken-hearted. God’s timing is always perfect. Be of good cheer, for the Lord has overcome the world. And He is coming soon, but in the meantime, let’s be busy about our Father’s business. I am leaning on Him and not my own understanding now more than ever. To God be the glory.

Praise God, and thank you, Alita! I am encouraged by this! Psalm 44:8 is one of my favorite verses :-)

Also, I would make one point. If Jesus came for his Bride last week, these prisoners would still have an opportunity to be saved from Hell. I think that is God’s mercy shown in the Rapture: the Bride avoids the Wrath of God, and the same Wrath brings others to Salvation during this 7-year “last call” God gives the world. I’m thankful they are saved now and won’t have to endure the Tribulation period. Better to have another year in prison saved than 7 years in “hell on earth” and saved then!

For the past 2-3 years I have been going to church online. I found Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati, Jimmy Evans, David Jeremiah, and others. The one time I tried a church near me, I left disappointed after a few times. I care take for my uncle. He has end stage COPD. He needs my help everyday. I love him dearly. Always been like a big brother. We both had our world rocked in Jan. My sister, who lived with us, had a stroke and died a week later. So it’s just me and him now. I keep reading how I need to be IN THE CHURCH, SURROUNDED BY OTHER BELIEVERS. I couldn’t agree more. I feel the attacks of Satan. So far, staying in my Bible, watching sermons and messages online, and praying, has sustained me this far. However, I worry this won’t be sustainable as the pressure of evil continues to rise. I thank God for this fellowship on TP. Your comments are so encouraging. It makes me long for in person fellowship. I’m going to do my best to get my uncle taken care of this morning, and try a new church. So I better close for now and get moving. Father, I pray for the victims in Florida, including our sister Carol. I pray for those who have heath concerns in this thread. I pray for those who don’t share for whatever reason. Lord, I pray Your Holy Spirit will overflow in our hearts. May we shine brightly in this present darkness. I pray Your Angels will watch over us and protect us from the evil one. Thank you God for Your unending Love and perfect plan for this world. In Jesus name, Amen.

I live in Dickinson, Texas. It’s basically South Houston off I-45 South, about 20 minutes from Galveston. I went to Grace Church Houston. I met with a really helpful guy at their guest center after worship. They have all kinds of resources and Bible studies throughout the week. Also connect groups in people’s homes.

I’m so spoiled listening to pastors like Jimmy, Jack Hibbs, Amar Tsarfati, Mark Hitchcock, and Jeff Kinley. However I really desire to have some in person worship and fellowship. Also a place I can serve however the Lord wants to use me.

Jimmy’s message this morning really scared me. I am too isolated and alone. An easy target for Satan. At least that’s how I understood it. I agree with him and it’s biblical.

Kari, it’s tough being a care taker for someone you love. Watching him slowly getting worse and worse. On top of that, when he passes, all my immediate family will have died.

Thank God I have 4 amazing grown children that are all doing well in their careers and life. 2 of them are still in Houston. But they have their life’s now just as v they should.

So finding a church family and getting involved before my uncle passes seems vitally important to having a life worth living. I love the Lord.

Until He brings us home, I want him to find me being about His business. I love people too. God gave me a very loving and compassionate heart. So I feel the pain all around me.

Sometimes I feel like it’s a curse too. I cry often. So many things impact me so deeply. Tears are flowing right now.

Thank you Lord for giving me the strength to just get up and go to a church. I see how much I need it. Thank you for people like Kari who reach out and offer support. I feel Your love throughout this community. Lord please place me where You want me. In Jesus name, Amen.

Art, Thank God your uncle has you caring for him. It's very challenging so praying you take time to self care, too. I believe there's nothing more precious than a godly, sensitive man who loves the Lord. My dad (who passed away in 2016) and son are both compassionate and very loving men. It's a blessing, never a curse. Sometimes society demands tough, rough men, but there's nothing more important than being a man who is kind, sensitive, loving, and compassionate. God made you exactly how he wanted you.....you're enough for Him. I'm praying for you.... praying you can find a new church family. Sounds like the one you went to today is solid. I know Gateway Church has a campus in Houston, but not quite sure the location. Jimmy was one of the founders of Gateway. I'll ask my hubby if he has any ideas. I love the area you live near. I know David Patterson lives in Houston, too. We're here for you too. Always reach out if you need prayer or anything..... blessings 💛

Thanks Kari. I will look up Gateway and see where it’s located. If your husband has any recommendations near me, please let me know. I’m open to trying other churches. Grace definitely has potential. On Wednesdays they have a group that focuses on prophecy. Want to check that out. They also have 72 different groups that meet in people’s homes. Hoping I can find a group I fit in. Most importantly, I want to serve. Give back and share the gospel. And find a small group of men that I can be transparent with them and grow spiritually. I believe this is so important to get plugged in. When my uncle passes, it’s gonna be different living alone again. First time in my life that all the family I grew up with will be gone. I know their with the Lord. Praise God! So with no one to care for, I pray the extra time I will have will already have a place to invest more of me, however God chooses. Please pray for my uncle. COPD is such a debilitating disease. He’s having more bad days than good days now. Pray that he will peace peacefully and not suffer. I know he will soon be with the Lord. I can’t wait for him to his new glorified body and be free of this disease. All disease. We both are hoping the rapture happens soon. I know that’s selfish. Forgive me Lord for that. I know many more still need to accept Your gift of salvation.

This morning my daughter is taking her best friend, who was raised Catholic but walked away from it, to church. They are both hungry for the Word and since we are looking for a new church home, she thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get her friend involved. She’s also looking for a new part time job because everyone at her work hates Christians. She said it’s so awkward because there she is standing there with her cross necklace visibly hanging around her neck as they denigrate the very thing she holds dear. A friend of hers has asked her to apply where she works. The owner is a strong Christian and the atmosphere is welcoming. We are praying she is hired and can move out of the toxic environment at her current job.

Our son told us on Friday he was pretty much accosted by a religious group on his college campus. The man was over the top aggressive trying to get our son to attend their campus ‘ministry’. Our son said he felt a strong spirit of uneasiness and when he prayed about it, he felt the Lord urging him to avoid the group like the plague. While I was sad that he felt that way about a ‘Christian’ campus ministry group at his college, my heart soared that he sought out the Lord in prayer to help guide his steps.

Having kids in college in this day and age is incredibly difficult. It’s a constant battle of beating back the lies and traps set by satan. Reading today’s post is so encouraging because it’s a reminder that all of this craziness is part of a plan to reach and save all those who can be saved, while we who are already saved keep the light burning brightly so those seeking can find the Light of the world and those seeking to do harm are blinded and pushed back from it. Thank you, Ps. Jimmy for another wonderfully encouraging post! You, Ps. Mark and Ps. Greg are some of those lights shining brightly keeping us all on the narrow path.

Great share Chris! Our Pastor preached on “Light” and “Darkness” this morning. It was awesome and well worth the time to watch as we are truly called to walk in the Light as He is the Light!! Love hearing about your kids. Praying they march right through their College experience with their faith intact and their Hearts on fire! Church is Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg Virginia, on YouTube! Blessings!! 🌻

Thank you, Kris! We’re in our 3rd year battling satan’s lies in college with our son and it’s definitely rather difficult at times because some of those lies seem so logical when they add a tiny twist to make it appear normal or even Christian.

I’ll look on YouTube for the video of your pastor. Thanks!

The puzzle pieces are being put in place and the evil one steps closer to stepping out on the world stage, banks problems, food shortages, leaders being put in place and making decisions that don't stand to reason (Iran nuclear deal) and much more. I look up and lift up my head and keep my family close, God is on the Throne and my Trust is in HIM! Watch Israel, for she is now ripe for attack since the pipeline was sabotaged and blown up, Russia will come for its booty. The evil one is working in the shadows and making calculated decisions for the launch of his evil plan. Water and plant seeds in the short time that we have in the midst of the storm as it rages.

My favorite aunt left this world in April, she served God faithfully for 70 years and her last words to her daughter were ....

Praise God for your ministry and it remains my major source of news and Godly teaching’s!

I loved this! WE are HERE for a reason. He chose all of us to be alive during the end times. How are we going to serve him? It is time to be BOLD. It is time to stop living for self but to die to self and LIVE for the ONE for gave us LIFE- JESUS. It can be exhausting, but isn't the end of a race always the hardest? let's finish strong. BECAUSE HE LIVES I CAN FACE TOMORROW. Love you, tipping point family.

Jimmy Evans is on FIYA!!!☄️Light is ablaze & shining brighter— it’s contagious. This has been a crazzzy week in the US but instead of breaking down the church, Jesus gives us another opportunity to share the good news and love & serve big. Heading to church soon, enjoy the Sabbath and may we never take this special community for granted. Lifting TP family up in prayers today… all over the world 🌎 Update on Carol McHugh posted here today. Also, for those of you who prayed our TX community of 300 was covered while the goddess d was celebrated by a group of over 100+ Hindus. Roger & I did walk around the neighborhood and prayed mighty prayers in JESUS name…there are NO other gods but only One King of Kings. No way we’re we letting all those foul stinky minions conjured up mess w neighbors unbeknownst. “You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭34:14‬

Keep loving big, serving big and praying even bigger! Love y’all 💛

That is a wonderful message filled with truth and encouragement. As Job said “For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth” (Proverbs 19:25). Stand firm in your faith brothers and sisters. When Jesus was facing the worst day of his life he sang! (Mark 14:26) “when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives”. He sang Psalms 118. It is a beautiful display of the love of our Lord and Savior as He journeyed His final hours to the cross on Calvary to fulfill our sin debt. He died the death we deserved so we could live the life that we did not. Sing unto the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords brothers and sisters for this is the day the Lord has made, rejoice in it! He has overcome this world and is still on the throne and He loves us beyond our comprehension. Occupy until He comes singing His praises to all we come into interaction with. Soon we will see our precious Savior and we will bask in His abounding love as we spend eternity with our Abba Father. God bless you all and I love you my brothers and sisters in Christ.
