“Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:9-12 NIV
Amen sis.. this was from the lord! I literally just came out of a wilderness with lord and is tempted with these job offers and they are my heart desire but God is calling me to lay my life down to preach and teach is word . He told me to raise up as Tabitha as a disciple, I need to repent and turn back to my cross.
HalleluYah!!!! I literally have tears in my eyes because this word is TRUE. At 24 I had no direction in life. I was living in my parents' basement as a college graduate just trying to find a job. All I wanted was to be independent. This was the start of my walk with the Father. I begged Him to get me out of there, and as I kept praying and applying for jobs, nothing was happening. Shortly thereafter, He placed a desire on my heart to learn agriculture. Last year, He opened a door for me to go 4 states away to live on an orchard and learn ag. from a friend of a friend, who is a believer. I had to abandon my desire to earn money in the World to follow Him where He was leading me. I saw in the Word, like in 1 Timothy, that if I pursued riches, I would end up unfulfilled. It's been 8 months on the orchard now, where I'm living indefinitely with my ag. mentor, and He has provided for me in more ways than I can count. He helped me become independent in just over a year. I don't work a "job", I barely make any money working with my mentor, but I have my OWN TINY HOUSE 🏠 that was purchased for me by the orchard owner, I have no debt anymore, I have no fixed expenses, and I'm living here rent free. I've gotten to make my own home without a job. My Father wanted to show me that HE ALONE is my provider. My life is richly blessed. Fun fact, I have never had more money than when I stopped pursuing it. ALSO, PRO TIP for RICH BLESSINGS: KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH HOLY! The only way I am here today in my promised land is God's faithfulness to His promise that if we keep the sabbath, He will make us ride on the heights of the earth and gift us with the inheritance (spiritual and material blessings) of Jacob. The people who offered to let me learn here on the farm are Sabbath keepers and I only got connected with them by way of a sabbath keeping church. DONT BE DECEIVED: God's 4th commandment is not done away with! Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments. He didn't say keep 9 of them, He said "keep my commandments". Pray about this y'all. We keep commandments not to be saved, but because we ARE saved and because we LOVE HIM. God's love language is OBEDIENCE. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME FOREVER!!! “If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot From doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, And honor it, desisting from your own ways, From seeking your own pleasure And speaking your own word, Then you will take delight in the Lord , And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN. Isaiah 58:13-14 NASB1995
Girllllll this is the second message like this God sent my way after I just spent a couple days looking into different side hustle possibilities... I surrender! 🙌🏾 God will be Jireh🙏🏾
I'm a realtor in Arizona and have been for year in Texas. I can totally relate. The time down during the pandemic definitely gave me time to consider how I want to proceed in this industry. Spirit-led for sure. Not the easiest in this industry but needed. God bless you sis 🙏
It's so interesting you come out with this video. I'm a Christian and these days, with me realizing how broke I am, ( because I can't find even my first year college tuition) I was looking up ways to handle money because I plan to get a job in Uni. Like legit, my pursuit of that consumes my days because I'm like I won't be happy until I become financially stable one day and I need to learn to handle that money. I wasn't pursing money per say because I wasn't looking up how to get it but I know what I was looking up would have lead me there one day. I'm thankful for this because even like an hour ago, I read that same chapter in Luke and really didn't pay attention to that verse of riches. Your video reminded me to not let that become the centre and focus of my life and to always leave that place reserved for God. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Side note: Man its soo easy to form idols in our lives once we take our eyes off Jesus. The devil ain't gonna win and he can't because Jesus already has!! Thank you for sharing this, it really touched me.
Thank you allowing your life to be led by the Holy Spirit. I am a new follower, but I have watched several of your videos already. I am so encouraged by your story and the messages you share!
It's true, since I've put my hope in God, He has daily loads me with His benefits and He literally provides for my family and we all have peace🙌 Glory to God!
Love of money is sin. Chasing money and not God is sin but asking God to be a good steward of money & all that the Lord blesses us with is wisdom. If our heart is led by God then we will use the money, our gifts for His glory.
This was def a eye opener for me. I kept being led to scriptures regarding the love for money and idolatry and kept wondering why. But after watching this video I now understand why. I took the first steps of closing my trading and investment accounts and I repented for chasing money. I’m currently in massage therapy school and I’m believing in the Lord to bless me with a vehicle plus help me with other things but I know He is going to make a way for me and come through for me. All glory to God and I thank you in advance 💕🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Oh hello sister I'm so very excited to see you again! Ok no you don't know me let me explain.Years back I heard your testimony about how you got your appartment and since I've been following all your videos I prayed very hard for you when you were pregnant with your second child and then had a miscarriage. Then my ipad stop working and I couldn't remember your name to look for you on my new phone.This week itself a thought of you came to my mind and I talked to God and said God if you could help me find her on RU-vid again I would like to know how she's doing. And here we go!!! Our God is awesome!! Im so amazed. Now I will be going through all your videos that I've missed😊
Crazy thing I hit notified that my trading accounts are liquidated 3 mins before clicking on this video. I knew God pulled me away from trading months ago because everytime I trade I feel anxious, out of place, I'm always on the edge forgetting my daily tasks cause I keep obsessively looking at my accounts. I did it because I was desperate to get money for transport to school my mom doesn't have money cause of all the costs she has to pay for me and I don't want to bother her because last week when I went home I discovered she is starving herself so I can have food. I pray that God keeps his wing over her and me. Funny enough I'm not worried about not having money for my daily expenses like I used to. I hope God pulls through for me. And thank you for this word I surrender to him completely. Amen🙏
Lord! Thank you in advance for making ways for this family! You said noone who puts their trust in you will be put to shame. Im believing for more than enough for this mom and child!! IN JESUS NAME!! Selah
That's a good word! I feel you on that student loan thing, and looking for ways to make money though...rule of thumb, "seek ye first the kingdom & ALL these things shall be added unto you." It's easy to depart from or forget this however, but I do find that when I'm putting my confidence and trust in the Lord, He always makes a way and provides! :)
When I see Alyssa speak I get soo emotional SHES truly a woman of God & the woman that’s in her I see my self in that woman & it touches my heart I pray I have more friends like this that we can pray ABOUT EVErything
You are sooooo.... on point! Little is much when God is in it. I live this truth now that I have learned to live in Christ. All of the "stuff" I collected along the road of lies and delusions really became a burden to me. Once I let go of the pursuit and centered my life around service to God and to my fellow human beings, I experienced peace beyond description, the peace of God. Now, with a life of simplicity and contentment, lacking nothing, I lay my head down at night and sleep like a healthy well-fed baby. Thank you for the insight into the Scriptures; the truth that sets seekers of truth free. May God continue to bless your ministry; you DO have a gift of ministering, and I am so grateful that you chose to opt out of the real estate route for now because I am certain that you would not have had the time or energy to share these beautiful truths today. Much Christian love.
Yes so true!! God will supply all ur needs!! keep your lives free from the love of money!! this is hard being young when a lot of people think success just looks like lots of material things !!! keep your eyes on God 💗💗
Girl, you should check out Apostle Joshua selmen . You would be blessed by his ministry. Check him out on RU-vid. Your life is like the persona of what he often preached about!!!! When you lay your life down, then , and only then will you truly experience favor!! There's so much more I can say, but check out this minister!!!!!:)
How does one spend time with god with tinnitus? There’s no treatment for me and it doesn’t go away. Silence is not a thing for me anymore. I had hearing loss and the doctors can’t do anything about it. I have to keep loud noises away from my ears to.my ears sometimes burn and always feel clogged.
i reeeealllly wanna know why making more money caused his marriage to suffer vs made it thrive? because from the outside looking in, money related issues are what kill marriages…. the lack of money, that is. so how does making more of it make things worse?! i could come up with some reasons that might make sense but i really want to know what his reasons were, seeing as though he went through it.
I don’t even want life anymore. I wish God would stop waking me up and just let me die. I’m so over this life. I feel like I’m only here just for him to torture me by making me constantly watch him give and give to others while always overlooking me. Life is definitely not fair and I feel like God plays favorites. I don’t even want to be here anymore. I clearly don’t have a purpose here. I don’t have anything that I want, I don’t have anything that I look forward to. I just wish I was never born!
Noooo Andrea! Lord I pray that you touch Andrea like only YOU can. I pray you give Andrea peace that only Andrea can understand and feel. In the name of Jesus. Amen. ❤
Andrea, you are special in the eyes of the Lord. Everything you're feeling and those thoughts of not from God but from the devil. Read John 10:10. I pray you look to Christ Jesus and give Him your life and allow Him to work in your life. Please read the Bible. When we don't feel his love, look at the Cross. He died for all of us. I wish you the best and pray that you will find peace in Christ who is waiting for you to surrender your life to Him and watch Him work in your life.. I don't know you but He does. God bless
Now you listen here Andrea, you better stop talking this foolishness right this instant young lady, who do you think you are trashing God’s masterpiece like that? You are loved blessed and favoured and all that self pity and entitlement needs to go. God doesn’t HAVE to do anything for you. And everything he does or doesn’t do for you is for YOUR edification. Watching others recieve while you go without is teaching you to be grateful for what you already have and to share in OTHER peoples joy. Take a look around , and see ALL the things that God has already blessed you with , which you are taking for granted. I bet if you really took the time to name each thing you’d still be sitting here next week. Now stop wallowing in your woe is me attitude and start praising the Lord that he is NOT done with you yet and that you have the absolute privilege of actually being able to speak to the Lord Almighty, the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE , one on one, whenever YOU want to. I mean think about it now, the average person will never meet the president or the queen of England or any other what the world deems “important” person let alone have them on speed dial , and yet through faith we have access to God. Not just anyone....GOD!!!! For what reason would God give you all the riches and your wants and desires when you cannot appreciate the only thing that matters?? Andrea, Andrea, you are worried about many things but have forgotten the most important thing. Others have chosen it and it will not be taken away from them. Do not worry about your life. The Lord knows what you need. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you. 💛
Andrea, God loves you so much and there is reason why you were born, like the word says He knew you before you were formed in the womb of your mother and He has plans for you. I pray that the spirit of the Lord ushers you into repentance from this thoughts and may you boldly approach the throne of God (read Hebrew 4:16.) for His guidance. He is a good, loving and kind Father who never leaves the one behind. May the spirit of the Lord minister to you and transform you. God loves you.
This is really good but can I just ask is it a sin then to be ambitious? I am honestly a bit confused or feeling guilty. My belief has always been as love as God is my first priority then it's okay to be ambitious too xx
Book of James: “But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.”
Thank you again for this devotional type video. I really need this, but I just have one question: now that I have to intentionally flee the love if money, does this mean I stop working? I just got a job offer after a year and half of losing my job due to covid. Do I just decline this? I actually really want to know, since I’m in the process of this. Thank you
I am not chasing after riches, but have been praying for a financial breakthrough for a few years, to no avail. I am self-employed and things are very slow and I also need a car. Please pray for me that things will get better as soon as possible. Thank you.
I hope you get a breakthrough. Sometimes, God want us to work for others before He elevate and promote us to work for ourselves. It’s how He builds our character, integrity, honor, and submission. Try to find a job in the meantime
@@jacqueline8566 Thank you. I have spent 28+ years working for others, with almost 24 years of those at the same company. Not having a car does complicate the situation.
But seek First the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL other things shall be added on to you Matt 6:33. When we see God, we will lack no good thing. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall Not want ❤️.
So let me explain who the Holy Spirit just set me up 😂😂 I was so excited when you said real estate and I was thinking of getting my license to make money and have a "flexible" schedule. Financial security has been an area that I struggle with mentally. I have put more trust in what I thought was my ability to make money instead of simply obeying God's instructions. The older I get I know that this is an idol I must tear down in my heart. I have taken jobs that paid great money but I was miserable. There is much I desire that requires money to accomplish but I know that God alone is enough and I will never be "richer" than when I am in God's will. Thank you for sharing this video such a timely word for me 🙏🏽💗
Wow this was an awakening. I must confess I’ve been obsessed with the stock market and trading and has neglected my spiritual walk a bit. I repent. Pray for me y’all. Thanks girl.
Thank you for sharing this sis! I've learned so many things from your videos. I believe God have been using your videos to teach me somethings! Please keep making them!
