I Understand-Smokey Norkful

[Msnicholecsmith]

I'm trying so hard to hold on. My faith has been tested like never before and I'm struggling. My daughter, Diamond (21yrs old) died in March from Lupus complications. I believed God would heal her. I believed that He would take it away because I asked, prayed and believed. I'm trying Lord. Holy Spirit please supplicate on my behalf...Thank you Lord for your mercy!

[lildebb44]

I NEVER GAVE UP I TRUST YOUR PLAN LORD THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE AND MERCY I LOVE YOU

[TheNikkibriggs]

Im so truly thankful that our God is an understanding God that is able to do any and everything because he wants to guarantee our places in heaven where we have the opportunity to spend eternity with Him and all of our heavenly brothers and sisters =)

[Nakeshiarenee]

I love listening to this song especially on the hard days. I have made some mistakes in past, but every time I try to do what right I get hit with a low blow. Sometimes they're so low that I feel like I can't get back up, but when i listen to this song I pull myself up, take a couple slow steps and go on about my way. Why it helps I don't know, but I'm glad it does.

[marilynwest09]

May the Lord bless you for this song.

[jojo19rta]

now I understand that has always been and will be the best solution to my prayers, saved me on the cross and His blood my sins and will continue unless salve and free from all evil, that this is one of their promises

[daddykul2000]

@31andtired. sometimes it seems hard, so hard to believe that he sees; let alone understand. But the GOD that gave you LIFE, HAS a plan for you. against all odds; HE UNDERSTANDS. He is the ultimate restorer. He paid too much for you to just let you wither. and to every one at the point of giving up. The God given breath of life in you is the evidence of hope. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. What ever you are going through right now. I PROMISE YOU... there's someone out there going through worse. 1cor 10:13

[daddykul2000]

... BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!

[bernadette358]

When the person you want to know your heart the most misconstrues your intent and character it hurts so much, thank you God for understanding the heart. thanks for the song!

[nontobekos]

Jesus id good all the time

[31andtired]

I feeling like letting go and giving up...life can hurt so very bad sometimes...trying to find the strength to continue on...but I'm tired.

[Obby0209]

@31andtired you cannot give up now... you have come too far to give up now. Trust God, even though you don't know what he is doing. Hang on!

[CrissySpice]

@31andtired Thats exactly how i feel right now. So I came online to hear a word.

[skjredding]

I can bear up on those days when it seems like I can't find a way out or through or just simply don't know what to do, remembering He's preparing me for Himself

[yogrlbty]

just believe everything good or bad work toward the good of those that love him! please believe........... think back to the other times god brought you thru when you didnt know how when where what.............. i love you my sisters and brothers. V-

[rieka4lyfe]

this song is so beautiful

JESUS NOTHING IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR GRACE AND MERCY!

LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME GOD. JESUS I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU GOD. THIS WORLD IS SO EVIL AND THESE WORLDLY PLEASURES ARE ONLY SATISFYING FOR SO LONG. BUT GOD MY HEAVENLY FATHER YOUR LOVE IS EVERLASTING AND SO IS YOUR HOLY SPIRIT! JESUS I RECEIVE YOU AND ADORE YOU. PLEASE FORGIVE ME <3

[jawdrummer128]

Speak right to me!!!!!!!!! JESUS I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!

[Missphatkatt100]

Thank you Jesus Now I Know and I Understand.

[MrJony009]

vai cantar bem aki no Brasil

[ssmieraljohnson]

His ways are higher than our ways, just trust and believe in him, He knows wat he is doing. God is love, so everything he does, (even if it may seem to u as everything is going wrong), is out of love. Even through our tests and trials he never leaves us nor forsakes us. Yes he understands.

[mahoward82]

This song really ministered to me after my family had lost five loved ones in less than a year including my father and a five year old child. Being a Christian I knew God was aware of my sittuation but didn't know if He understood what we were going through. This MIGHTY song put me in remembrance of Who I serve!!!!!!!

[LCDC85]

This song speaks to my heart

[pinky842008]

i am tryin my hardest to do the right thing and follow god's work. its hard and sometimes i wanna give up but i know that he won't let me fall. i am livin proof that even the baddest people can change. it hard....very hard, but nobody will love me like god does. not even my parents. thank you god for opening my eyes.

[MsClassyBee]

amen, well said!

[tatusc6]

Thank You Pinky for your testimony. I needed to see it. All this time i had it wrong trying to please people who didn't love me and didn't realize that nobody loves me like GOD does.

[mahwajuly86]

Amen. God will never forsake us, no matter what the devil whisppers into our minds.

[tyonish]

@pinky842008 I too wasn't the greatest person! I did wrong as well, more so then most, but yes I understand what your saying! Jesus caught me at my worst and now I am happy trusting in Him and I have lost everything I worked for in my life. EVERYTHING and on the bottom to meet me was Jesus! Giving up is the best thing you can do! Believe Jesus and forget about this old world. Jesus is so true and full of love and glory, but take Him at his word. It is full of life! Life here and life to come....

[Mschocolot1]

@pinky842008 Keep your head up! God is faithful and a very present help in times of need and times of trouble. Be Blessed.

[xchief661]

' God sometimes it is hard but we trust in you and know that you see each heart, each pain and each burden. Father we believe in you and we know that you understand. God thank you for the miracles that you have performed all ready and Lord I praise you for the ones to come.

[holt0118]

amen

[holt0118]

I love this song! My neice sang this at my son's memorial last week and I was so touched. I know all this hurt is in prepration of what he has planned for me. But Sometimes

[xchief661]

Please know that I am so sorry about your child. My mother and dad had to deal with it years ago and sometimes I still say to God "What were you thinking?" The truth is that God doesn't make mistakes and even though we will never understand I have found that even when I am mad at him he is there when I call out his name. When we cannot pray he listens to our hearts and although broken he is listening to yours. He will not forsake you and it is alright to ask him "Why".

[mzsprungy]

love it!~

[kelya001]

i love u soo much smokie norful,i cant wait to meet u in april

[hopiepaul]

Where will be be in April... Fill me in.. I would love to see him too..

[hopiepaul]

I may not know where he is leading me.. but I know that he is preparing me for something GREAT.. Help me to trust you in all this...

[cuckoopuffs87]

I remember in one of my many trying moments in life, I listened to this song over and over again. It kept me up and helped me know that God understands (besides reading the Bible) all that I was going through. Thank you so much for posting this video. Stay blessed.

[brwncoco78]

GOD is awesome! I am a single mom taking care of my 3 kids, my elderly dad, working full-time and going to school! Sometimes, when I feel like throwing my hands up and pulling out my hair. I just LORD I know my life will not always be this way, give me strength to endure the storm! When noone else is there for you, GOD will be there! :)

[Mschocolot1]

This is a great song! I luv it!!!

[tacomalaco]

its norful not norkful idiot

[1superNATURALwoman]

I'm sure that was just a typo. And even if it wasn't, did you really feel it was necessary to resort to name calling. Didn't the words of this song speak to you??

The point is that someone shared this blessed song with us. Be thankful.

[jozambezi]

this song has helped me though many trying times, and i hope he keeps producing music with such a strong message as this song.

[kilometer45]

Smokie Norful is a blessing in more ways than one. This song lets me know that God understands every thing I go through and that its all apart of his masterplan!

[killvicious1]

[imsave08]

YEA I REALLY DO LIKE THIS SONG

[Miamiba]

[snomans]

I absolutely love this song. I'm not the biggest religious person, but I love the words. They really touch me.

[doobythecat]

Just plain silly.

[blckbutterfly1995]

I need to know what is silly about this song. Have you lost it or are you deaf. I need to know because if you know the God I know then this song is so on target you could not hit it better if you walked up and hit a target. get a life.

[keemy18]

i needed this.

[lainggurl]

Was sented dis video during a very difficult time n my life! Ive been addicted 2 it ever since! Even wen it doesnt seem so, people far and near please know God will never give u more than u can bear!

[jadorecheri]

[cassiecj4]

[myhips2007]

i can truly lissten to this song, and always feel better about any situation that i am going through.

[risingsun122605]

This song is very encouraging to all that listens. To all of you who commented on how God has shown Himself to you, that's what He wants, for you to know Him, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. There is healing in every situation if you would but find it. To the widow, God has special instructions concerning you in His word, rest assured that His word does NOT

[Latifah77]

Thanks and GOD bless u Smokie!

[kakorat20]

This song the first time i heard it I was it gave me strength. And now that my amazing wife past away on Jan 23, 2008. I need to hear this song more and more. Because she left me with a 3 week old baby girl. Who knew that you will ever be angry at god, hate god, asking so much why lord why? But I guess god has a plan and in the end I will be with her again. And before they buried my wife I told her I will be with you again but not yet. I miss her so much please god help me get through this.

[kkid28]

I truly hope that the Lord has come through for you. I know that he would never leave you to suffer. He knows that we can only bear so much & he would never give too much a load or burden to carry. He loves you & I am sure you know that. I hope that your baby is doing well & that the Lord will cover both you & the baby with his blood that the spirit of death may not come into your home. Please pray for your baby everyday to keep the enemy away, declare warfare upon your baby & he'll be protected

[poohsheart84]

I will praying for you. And I also pray that God blesses you!

[1superNATURALwoman]

My prayers are with you and your babygirl.

[ndutes]
