I’m still trusting in God even though I’m having a hard time paying bills and putting groceries in the refrigerator for my family since losing my job over declining the vaccine. My faith is what is getting me through my hard situation. I declined the vaccine due to my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. My husband passed away three years ago, I’m a single mother. I’m all alone. Both of my sons are non verbal so things are more hard on me. Every month is a struggle, a battle to not end up on the streets. I’m so depressed and embarrassed by my situation. I have been put down and mocked by others even insulted for sharing my story. BUT because of my faith I know God will provide. Even as I face homelessness with two young children seemingly every month! I know that God will make a way. HE HAS PROVIDED this far. Thank you Heavenly Father! I believe.
Hi! I bless you in the name of Jesus for being obedient to the harkening of his voice! I had been in a similar situation recently but let me tell you. HOLD ON to the Word of God and to his promises, declare the Word over yourself multiple times a day God hears you and says you are not a victim to these circumstances but a victor!! You have the power and authority of the Word, use it! Let me tell you how God supernaturally supplied in my bank account for telling him I wasn't going to be put to shame this time around, how I didn't want to cry over my circumstance but come to his throne like an heir of the blessing. God remembers his people and he remembers his covenant. When you remind him you are an heir and that your supplication is NEEDED God WILL SUPPLY like he supplied the Israelites food by the ravens. God is the God of miracles. Be encouraged today. He will not fail you. Open your mouth and speak to your circumstances
Sister, this is the kind of faith we need yet lack today. I'm so happy and proud and inspired by your strong faith. I pray God will deliver you in these hard times and bring good times for you. He is a faithful and just God. Thank you Jesus.
I appreciate your honesty..I’ve been there too…keep coming back to your first love Jesus. He never abandons it is who abandon him. God is always there with you ❤
I too was partying, doing drugs, I was “dying” on acid in my bathroom shower, and I begged Jesus to save me, I accepted my death and gave myself to him. Then I was saved, and improved myself a whole whole lot Peace and blessings :)
I was on fire for god and the week I found I was pregnant I was doing a fast to hear from God. Shortly after finding out I was pregnant my prayer life and Bible time just dwindled away as I focused on myself and my baby. Now my husband and I are parents and I miss Jesus so much and I need him so much. Thank you for this video, I needed this.
I think this is so common for pregnancy and parenthood 🧡 I’m currently pregnant and I really empathise with this. Sending you love & know that God’s Father’s love understands your season whilst you pour so much into your little one x x
I've been going through a similar season lately. I've been struggling with my prayer life and spending time in His Word. But one thing I'm learning is I can't wait to "feel" like reading the Word, to start reading it. I NEED the Word every single day. I need to feed my Spirit DAILY, especially in the world we are living in. We are in the last days. And as followers of Christ, we know it’s going to get worse 😭 But we also know, Jesus is coming back for His children 🕊️❤️ Let us stand firm in the faith brothers and sisters! 🙏🏼 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:31 🤍
@@cierrahp9702 I was saved a year ago and experienced that as well but I've just been going through a season of spiritual dryness lately and I need to remember to read & pray even when I don't "feel" like it. Because God is ALWAYS there & He is the SAME God, on the mountains and in the valleys. Praise the Lord!
I'm going through this right now. I’m losing the joy of my salvation because I’m too stubborn to repent of sin. Instead of bringing my carnal thoughts into captivity, I allow them to flood my heart. Instead of lifting my sins and saying here, take it Lord. I said let me have it or let me entertain the thought for a little longer because my flesh enjoys it. When a Christian gets like this he or she has no peace until they repent and turn. I pray the Lord would give me the strength to do this.
Without the Lord everything we do is lost. Focus is intensity. Intensity is depth. How deep are we in faith? Holy Marriage is a byproduct of service to the Lord.
Funny because I’ve been praying to God about not letting this happen to me, because God has been there since the beginning and I didn’t get this far by myself, so whatever success comes upon me I don’t want to think it was just me, but know that it’s God helping me and opening the right doors for me. Trust God be thankful and don’t become arrogant. Stay humble my sisters and brothers.
I’m kind of in this situation, as God prospered me financially, my prayer and Bible life has declined. These days, prayer and Bible are more like a checklist. I pray to God constantly that in my prosperity, I never forget Him.
It's about never never forget what God did on the cross for all his children first!!!!! It's about God first! You put God first in your life, everything else will work out. But God haves to be first on the list. Wasn't for him we wouldn't be here right now. Everybody leaves God out that's the problem we are having in the world today. God is return ready or not. We must think of him first!!!!! Before open our eyes to wake up we must pray to him for everything and bad we go threw.cant be luke warm. God not looking for perfect he looking for the truth.
About six months ago, i got a blessing i didn't even have the sense to pray for, a job...But gradually i started spending more time at work than i did in God's Presence...followed by almost three months of gradually praying less..to not being able to be before Him for 15 mins.....Now God in His Mercy is helping me get back on track... I understand the tittle of this message...
I feel you...soo true!! Long ago 2003-2004 I was mission Gospel Jesus Christ in Ireland 2weeks and going to army...well 😔 turn my life upside down!! I was massive stroke (no talk, no right arm, no right leg and of course take a shower) I was scared, angry and anxiety. Fighting battle my life health/medical & second again life...praise God my purpose. Still is future guy, going get married & beautiful babies. Praying for my speech 🙏🏾 Az Girl- Sister Christ
I saw your video, the title stood out so profound! God is getting me ready to enter the land and he's saying to me Lorraine don't forget the Lord thy God who brought you out of Egypt. As you were sharing All I kept thinking about was My husband is not My God, my kids are not my God! Etc., This has blessed me so Amazingly! HolySpirit help me to not Forget My God! Amen! He's been so Good to me. As I keep remembering how Good God is, and what he had done for me. I will not replace God with the blessing.
This vid appear on the right time. I am too busy with my life right now, and God reminds me to spend time with Him.❤❤❤ GOD IS SO POWERFUL, HE IS FAITHFUL,HE IS SO GOOD AND HE LOVES ME EVEN THOUGH I AM A SINNER.
I do not always comment, but I really appreciate this video. God has blessed me tremendously. I had been concerned that I may let the blessings distort my view of God. Different things started falling apart and I began feeling overwhelmed. I was reminded about the disciples freaking out in boat with Jesus because of the storm. Jesus was asleep. When they woke him, He said ye of little faith. I don't want to put anything before God. He is too faithful and nothing compares to him. I don't want to lack in faith. For those who read this, please pray for me.
This video is such an answered prayer, Lately, I was asking God to free me from the spirit of forgetfulness and its effects on my prayer life. Unfortunately, we get so busy with the world and our so-called blessings, that we forget Him and His benefits and what He did for us to get into such a position.
Honestly. This was amazing and so encouraging. It's really what I've been doing in my life, letting school and the fear of failing school come before spending time with him. Thank you so much for the encouragement and openness to share your heart! May God bless you and we serve a GOOD God!
If you're worried then praise, pray, and ask Jesus to help you!! He loves you and wants to spend time with you, make time with God even if you don't feel like it! God is always first ♡
Yass amen honestly yes marriage at times has no meaning without God I am growing through that now sometimes we ask God for patience or to show us what he wants us from our marriage and I have experience I try to numb the wrong in my marriage and not actually listening and paying attention of what the Lord was trying to show me through my marriage struggles he was molding me and strengthening me to become the wife and women that God created and wen we loose focus and are not seeking God in prayer and word we will get lost and feel like we are in a pit and a sad cycle but yes like u said God is sooo faithful bt we have to learn to seek him and trust him with our life keep up this channel girl ❤️
I struggled with burn out this past weeks because of my greed, finding my worth on being able to brand myself as someone successful yet the Lord humbled me that He wants me to live in accordance to what He truly desires for me that He got so many good plans He wanna show me but that would happen if I trust Him more, instead of doing things on my own. I realized I got that greed over pleasing my parents for they keep on bombarding me these days that I need to work to supply the needs of my fam when I know we have enough. As if they're seeing me doing ministry as foolishness. I understand where they're coming from for they are still unbelievers and im the first one who got saved. Thankful for God's word giving us assurance, encouragement, correction even redirection for sometimes we get lost on track for different reasons around.
Wow needed to hear this🙏🏼 My husband is cancer free and during these 2 years God showed not just me but my family his mercy, love, and grace. God is so faithful and He never delays His promise. So true and a good reminder everyday to NEVER forget God and everything He has done 🤍🕊 Glory to God for using your channel for His kingdom 😊
The part where you said idolizing the blessing can open doors to jealousy and discord, etc. OMG so true! You are so beautiful love your testimony! God bless! 💜
Thank you so much for this video. I am going through this exact season right now and your video happened to pop up on my RU-vid!! Things with the blessings in my life have been so distracting for me and my relationship with God and my prayer life. Thank you so much for sharing and for helping me to see that I’m not alone, and for providing those beautiful passages of scripture and for your advice!! ❤️ Life is so much better when God is at the top.
HALLELUJAH! What the enemy meant for evil, GOD MEANT IT FOR YOUR GOOD! What a Mighty and Merciful God we serve🙏🏽 Sister Vivian you are the apple of God's eye❤️
This is a very important message. We often notice us forgetting about God when things are good. God deserves so much better because He is so good! Pray that the Holy Spirit reminds us every time we forget, He is faithful!
Praise God.. God led me here. Your journey to salvation was strikingly similar to mine. After being saved, I got married to my husband and gave birth to my son. I’ve been allowing my blessings to replace God. I’ve been struggling with my faith and found myself resenting God struggling with my own greed and vanity. I needed to hear this message today.
Dont sweat it sis, we all fall into that pit at times, but just as it's written "fall seven times and rise an eighth." Stay sharp and focused, you'll reach a higher level as you grow
Relatable! When God blesses us, we still need him to maintain the blessings. He is a jealous God yes and if it means taking those back to get you back at the cross, he will. I learnt the hard way 😢, but Ive learnt. Thank you for this and God bless!
I'm thankful you made this video, I have noticed even before you made this that many wives and husbands anyone else that has been given something big in their life from God has and does treat them and those things like they are like an idol. So many dont notice it, commit a sin treat them and items like they are their God. We definitely need to remember who is our one true God and Savior and what is the creation and what is given from God.
May the Lord Bless you for sharing his message. You are a faithful daughter of the most high. I am thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ, for using you as a vessel to preach to all of us who need word of Our Heavenly Father Almighty God . I am so happy for you have a wonderful exciting blessed life Congratulations you deserve to be blessed . Thank you for sharing your blessings of a Godly Kingdom marriage. I have been praying and waiting on God to bless me with A Godly Husband. This is confirmation from God to me . I Decree blessings upon you and your husband 🙏
i honestly feel like i thought i was about to be blessed and receive what i wanted. but then it all turned sour so quick and the situation really made me turn my back on God and not have a prayer life. going back to sin and really being influenced from the world is so hard. i dont even feel worthy to listen to worship songs or pray. listening to these videos have really been the most i been able to do
Daniela! I love the authenticity in this! Start where you can in your pursuit of God! Even if it feels like you're starting over! He honors your heart. Be encouraged, sis! Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV ) The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."
Thank God he’s Christian because when ya live together ya can pray, fast, an worship💜 I’ve met Christian couple who don’t do it which is weird, then they have a lot of problems. Put God first, then the rest will come 🙏🏽
Congratulations!🎉I noticed that when I got a new job, it was hard to keep up with my quiet time with God. I also recently got engaged and I can definitely identify with all of this! I was going to work two jobs this summer but I had to have a mandatory surgery that forced me to take a month off. I was so confused and upset, but I'm glad I have this time to get back close with God. It can be so easy to get engulfed with the GOOD things He's blessed us with. But we can't get so caught up with the resource that we forget about the Source. Thanks for being obedient and sharing this because it definitely touched me. Congrats again!!
This just showed up in my feed and I knew yesterday this was sorta what was happening to me. I’ve been delivered from these huge issues I had been facing and I was evangelizing but I wasn’t spending time with God how I used to be. I was still praying recently and I was trying to worship but it was like I didn’t know how to. I have been feeling happy and I know that I should still be just as on fire for God when I’m free from my issues as when I’m going through them! Thank you for posting your story with this I was very blessed by it and I know it was God reminding me today of what I was reminded of yesterday. I got up halfway through the video after a week of being lazy and I started praying and just talking to God like how I used to and I feel energized and excited to journal and I even did my laundry finally lol. Thank you Lord for this code and everything else you do for me and others. Thank you for pulling me out of the darkness please help me worship you in your beautiful light. Like Jude 24 says, you are able to keep us and make us perfect. When I’m thinking there is not more to be done please remind me I’m not fully sanctified yet and I still need you in my life and I will need you for eternity Father. Thank you Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!
There are things He won't do, like He won't protect us against evil if we willingly choose to do/participate in evil and wicked things and if it's not in His will for something to happen. He will take care of His children even when they make mistakes they didn't know better weren't thinking about and slipped.
Great video! I got saved in my room too after I watched a sermon online for a ministry I started following. I felt the spirit draw me and felt so at peace.
Thank you so much for this video!I needed to hear this.Thank you so much for your honesty and putting it out there for the people to hear and to bring reassurance to people that find themselves slipping away to know no matter what God wants to hear from us no matter the guilt we carry .We must not carry that.We are already forgiven!May we find our way back like you did and repent and look to God.Thank you Father God for your forgiveness and giving us Life🙌🏽
As i'm going through a divorce after 11 years and 2 kids later, NEVER STOP KEEPING GOD FIRST!!!! That is the secret to marriage. We both stop keeping God first and now, divorce. Be selfish with your relationship with him!!
Good stuff V so True god has to be number 1. Your realtionship with god has to be number one over your spouse kids job etc. If you have a list of the most important thing to you in order from what ever high. It should be God God God because he is in your family kids etc. He is in everything seek him first the kingdom of god and all will be granted to you.
2 books that really helped me with my prayer life are Prayers that shake heaven and earth and Advanced prayers that shake heaven and earth by Dan Duval. These are very different prayers and a lot of people have not heard the concepts and language he uses before. But I challenge you all to try them and supplicate our Father with them. I can wholly attest to the fruit they bring. May God be abundant to you all.
I’ve definitely been going through a similar stage I feel like it’s so hard to spend time with God the verse u shared that God is our life and gives us every blessing reminded me to be thankful and to just go and spend time with God rather than having a checklist it’s easy to beat yourself up but I know God doesn’t condemn me thanks for sharing God bless 💗💗💞💞
Vivian thank you for talking about this. I received this message with opened ears and open heart. I struggle with fully trusting our Father and wanting to help him with HIS will for me. 😔 I repent from this over and over. My guess is that God knows if he were to bless me with what I’ve longed in my heart that I’ll lose sight of him lost in that blessing. 😔 Thank you for this message. On I go to pray with my Father and apologize wholeheartedly. God bless you Viv. ❤️ Please pray for me.
God loves when we see what is going on in our lives and he loves when we come back to him we're always his children he always forgives us we shake it off and start again this is so good it is a reminder for me the blessing not to forget God God bless you God bless you and and your marriage
I felt like this message was specifically directed towards me! Thank you so much for sharing, and this will definitely help me align my priorities straight! God bless you!
This is such a good video!!!! It's very easy to do when you've been waiting and believing God for something. You're happy when you receive it and tell yourself...this is what God wants me to have so it's ok to give all my time to it. God can never be pushed aside for anything in this world. He must always be first.
Thank you Vivian for allowing The Lord to use you. I try my best to remember The Lord in all I do and how far He’s brought me and your video came just in time. Something happened yesterday and it really brought back some childhood trauma (I’m 14 now) and I felt so comforted by The Lord and so Loved. I remembered a verse in Psalms and it made me cry even more Psalms 27:10 Though my mother and father forsake me, The Lord will receive me. God bless you all :)💕
One thing God has helped me with is staying strong in the truth of the gospel. I find that the more you truly understand what Christ has done for me personally, it helps me to understand the glory of God. The truth of the gospel brings so much peace and is our foundation of faith. Try to really meditate on the gospel as it has helped me. God bless
