I just wanted to share this: I just began to realize how much I lean on my own self and understanding rather than the Lord. My first instinct is to worry and over analyze , rather than just trusting our heavenly father. I began eating lunch and just looked out the window at my backyard and admired God's creation, when Mathew 6:26 popped into my head. ("Look at the birds in the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?") At that very moment, I kid you not, a bird flew onto my porch with a seed in its mouth, looked at me, and flew away. God cares for you and wants you to lean on him!
@Jonathan7832 So I got your reply as a notification on RU-vid. I went about my day and I have been fighting worry. I’m in the stage of my life where I am trying to figure out how I am going to spend the rest of my life and I started to get more and more worried about how am I going to make money and such. When that scripture above popped into my head again and I studied that chapter. It spoke to me soo much and then the Holy Spirit was nudging me to go back to this thread. When God moves, he moves! He is a living God!
if you see this God wants you to know that He loves you and will always be there with you. He wants a relationship with you and wants to be in Heaven with you. He will return for His PEOPLE one day and Not every day is promised. Remember that when God is silent He is testing your faith He hears your prayers and His TIMING is PERFECT. God bless you and your family.
I vomit lust and I lie And cuss and use his name in vain I need to work on this I hate that I know I hurt him and I’m sorry I will work hard to not hurt him and praise him for all my life
I was literally just procrastinating reading my Bible because I’m really tired and then I clicked on this video, brb gonna go spend some time with the Lord!
@@younglingslasher4202 He often doesn't respond audibly like many humans would expect. He responds in other ways, through thoughts, conversations, scripture, song etc You just have to listen for Him and you just know. Have a blessed day sister
hey i feel the same but i believe we all are eventually gonna feel taht way. were not perfect so dont worry if u feel like ur the only one that feels far from God because im here with u. try taking ur time to pray about how u feel and get his guide to feel closer with him
We shouldn’t rely on our feelings I have an amazing video that would help you a lot and I’m going through the same thing it’s called “dear church we need to talk about this”
Wow! I'm a new christian. Fell out of the faith when I was a tween. Came back to the church at the start of 2024. I pray multiple times a day. Gave up drinking, swearing, pornogrophy, and writing smut. I keep hearing people these days getting prophetic word about people not leaning into god. I didn't know how to do that! I only knew I was excited to learn more about God and Jesus. To learn more about the bible and to pray. I think I pray at least three times a day. I also talk to god anytime I'm alone. It warms me to know I'm doing it right.
I keep sinning while wanting to grow closer to god, it hurts that I fall to my temptations often but I will always go back to god and ask for forgiveness 🙏🏻 hallelujah to our benevolent lord
The more quiet intimate time you spend with Him, He will either remove altogether the temptation or help you overcome either way just remember ‘in Christ we are more than conquerors’. We cannot overcome anything if we are in the flesh and nothing of the flesh can come before the Lord! It all happens in the spirit because we are Spirit and so is He.., that’s where all battles are won, and Jesus has overcome the powers of darkness so we too are overcomers! In fact we are the Champions of all champions in Christ Jesus and so are you ❤
One thing that has helped me to overcome sin, is knowing that it's self-destructive. You destroy yourself, your relationship with God, and your righteousness when you sin. You gain nothing, and it's really just temporary pleasure, that at the end of the day: Is empty. It's also a cycle, and if you want to stop that cycle, stop starting it in the first place. If you don't want to watch nasty videos, then don't look at provocative photos or imagery. Lust starts with the eyes. Alcohol starts with the tongue. Cussing starts with the ears. Wickedness starts with the mind. I hope this helps, remember God loves you and I love you too. 👍🙏❤️😁
Israel was pushed to the ground after getting his hip broken. After Israel's life of "self sufficiency" (which is, of course, false) our Lord showed him a huge display of rough love to teach the agonizing Israel on the ground, unable to move, that he NEEDS The Lord's _grace_ and mercy. We are dependant on Him, for He is perfect and understanding of our severe weakness and numerous shortcomings. Don't rely on your own strength, my friend, to overcome addictions. Pray to The Lord and constantly beg Him to help you, and understand that you like Israel are unable to do anything but struggle on the ground without your loving Lord's help. He is pleased with the humble, and pleasing Him is our sole purpose, no? ☺️ I sincerely hope your prayers are answered soon. And I am certain The Lord will help you, because He does love you beyond comprehension.
I’ve lived a sinful life up to this point a few days ago i felt something like god reached out to me I can’t explain it but my faith has been put back to god . I’ve just picked up a bible for the first time in many years. My hole out look on what’s important in life has changed and your videos are helping me find god again thank you for what your doing wish you all the best
Alex, my younger brother, who’s seven, has been starting to grow apart from god, he’s so young and our parents dont really talk so he’s always with my dad who isn’t very close to god either. He constantly ignores god and I’m starting to lose hope and fear that my brother is losing faith in god, can you please pray for him to grow stronger in gods word?
@@amenalex it’s just really hard to get rid of things in life to get closer to god like skating I love to skate a lot but it’s really really hard to let go of that. Is there any tips on how to cut that time down
@@willgiurlani2186 if u really love skating, skate. I believe God wants us to do what we love But if it’s a like then don’t skate. For example Our flesh likes lust and we think it makes us happy but God know it really doesn’t please us. Figure out if it’s a “like” or a love because God loves love
@@willgiurlani2186 there is nothing wrong with skating why not incoperate God in your skating. Prayer to Him before, during and after you skating. He wants to be your friend then He will guide you and you will start desiring quiet time with Him.
I could & will never be enough not even for Jesus. But the good news is though I may not be enough for Jesus, Jesus is enough for me 🙏🏾🙌🏾 that’s His point it’s not about us, it’s about Jesus! Bc Jesus was & is the only one who will ever be enough for us CMON CHURCH CAN I GET AN AMEN
Me too, I need support or just someone who can relate to my struggles or just to talk to. I feel the same way and if u need to talk about anything I’m here for you, I’ll just even listen if that’s all u need.
I will pray for u and dont worry this is human sinning but God is way more powerful than sinning ✝️dont give up on God cuz he is fighting for u and with u 💖Psalm 116:1-2 "He sees us , he loves us and he hears us'
I’m not the most perfect man. I’ve been through a lot and I’ve did a lot through my life. I’ve sinned a lot and I just wanna lock in and get close to God. Thanks for the inspiration🙏🏽💕‼️
bro thank you man I needed this these past days I have been trying to build my relationship with him more been feeling this happinesses and joy and peace these past days been praying more and worshipping him and reading the Bible more daily. God bless bro
Man I've been have a lot of anxiety lately and I don’t know why but I’ve been praying and it’s been getting better but I need to get closer to God so thank you so much for this video 🙏🏾
I love this. This is just what I needed. Lately I’ve been feeling myself getting distant from God and it makes me so sad. Social media has slowly taken over my free time and I just decided it’s time for a break. I am sacrificing social medias (except for RU-vid because of videos like this that encourage me to keep walking with God) to get closer to God.♥️
Thank you for this! I’ve been feeling really lonely and having doubts if God is even real because I haven’t gone to church. But this is really going to help me get closer to him and not have any doubts about him!
it makes me so happy for you ahhhhh i hope you create an amazing relationship with Him! if you ever feel lost, or doubtful, ask Him to soften your heart and take your doubt away. He truly wants to help you
@@grace.christina You don’t have to answer this question, but I was just wondering how I could ask him to soften my heart. God has always been here for me, I just get scared all of the time. I don’t have a lot of people who love God like I do, so sometimes I get lonely. I feel like he’s not real because I lose friends and get put down. I was just wondering, thank you ❤️
@@kicat8572 hello! maybe ask Him to help you rely on Him rather than the world. Practice keeping Him first throughout your day. In times of fear, remember He is for you and doesn’t want you to be afraid
Man i can proudly say that i have a friend too.... It's you god... You have been with me during the worse period of my life. There is nothing i can give to your except my faith and love to you. Thankyou god.
ever since i stop smoking weed and smoking period god has been so proud of me and i been proud of myself… it’s attached to the old me and the new me dont like it i hate the smell lol its crazy .. i spend time with god soon as i wake up after i eat and drink my tea i go to my prayer closet and spend HOURS in there lol when im in there time doesn’t even matter.. i walk out feeling so good and refreshed like i just left a therapy session. God is so good to me i love him best father i could have
@@childofthealmighty3980 I really want to say that I’ve kicked it but idk, it’s like a stronghold. I’m using nicotine lozenges and have cut waaaay back but still have those days I vape. I keep praying and trying to break this addiction. Prayers appreciated🙏🏻💗
@@nicolehuygens5227 did you manage to kick it. When I was born again I quit a year and then I bought one and threw it away. And a year later I bought another then another. I’m about to try to quit permanently, it’s pretty hard to though
you should become religiousness, at least trying to understand that jesus wept and deid on the cross for you. You dont have to but because it feels wholesome to you, I believe that you will have a string relationship with him. Hope you see this reply! This is also for the other people who are not Christian.
I really hope this man learns to accept himself eventually. I really hope he realises that God loves him for all that he is. Remember, we are made in His image. The truth to finding the light comes from within. ❤
My overthinking always keep me worried which is very wrong because to have faith and maintain faith i have to throw away the worrying and depression inorder to fully trust him and to have full faith .. I really want to change my way of living i hope and pray that i can be change through him and glorify his name
I was baptized young and have believed in God my whole life, but I wasn't given the Holy Spirit until I repented in earnest before God himself. And what is Awesome about God, is that He is ALWAYS there (He is never too busy to listen and weep with us and share in our struggles), and still knows when a small sparrow falls from the sky!!!! God knew the exact moment I chose to repent and give my life to him, and when I did, I was given the Holy Spirit that very moment. What an Awesome God and Father we have! Going to church; listening to a preacher; water baptism; skimming through a very dusty bible will not necessary bring us closer to God. Wearing a cross and or getting a religious tattoo(s) will NOT bring us closer to God either. However, a broken spirit and repentant heart is what allows God to come into us and change us--from the inside out. To prune us for eternal life. This is God's desire for ALL human souls: that we come to repentance and allow HIM to save us. God bless you.
God talked to me today to stop using social media to lash out my anger to the world (NB to throw shade ) I can't help it because l feel like people are mocking me . But Jesus told me in the spirit to focus on him And do the work and content to lift up people and honor him !!
Thank you so much. I’m so worried on what’s going on with me. I’m nauseous, dizzy, pale, and I get lightheaded. I’m really worrying and I want to get closer to God to help in general with mentally and physically preparing me for what’s coming next. (I’m 11)
@@Gabbi362 😄 I am so happy to hear that, I too went through a scary period with my health & god most definitely brought me through. Our pain has a purpose! We just have to Trust in and turn to god ❤️
You have to put effort in by reading his word and getting God's knowledge of all the positive things he has done for you. The enemy cannot be around when you are seeking him. The enemy will flee. Sins can be very hard to stop from repentance. Sin comes from the enemy. We have to have Gods holy spirit around to fight off the enemy by reading HIS word.Seeking him is part of repentance.
AMEN JESUS CHRIST AMEN I also quit vape (THC) not long ago and the Higher Powers truly helped me so much to get through it, I thought many times I was losing my mind but it was the vape (THC) that I was overdoing breaking me into nothingness. Now I spend so much time/love with my family I can't believe all the time I wasted being high, I know I couldn't get through it without GOD JESUS CHRIST. BELIEVE ME, everyone on the comments, you will get through it and GOD JESUS CHRIST has a plan for it; trust him AMEN.
God good, I'm glad you got a break through and Jesus Christ set you on a good path. I'm trying to stop spending so much time on anime/music. I haven't read my bible well enough and I want to spend all that time with God more.
During the toughest part of my life I was close to God. Now I can barely pray without getting embarrassed. After seeing that other people have watched this let's me know I'm not alone.
I recently just got closer to god and welcomed him to my life today. Before I was always 50/50 on faith and considered myself agnostic but something changed today and I don’t fully know why but I feel like he came to me when it was the right timing because he already knows my path so he placed me into his plan for me when it was the right time to. My thoughts are I wasn’t ready earlier and or he has plans for me that only would have worked at my current age and situation kind of like the butterfly effect. I know it will be challenging at times to not lose that faith because maybe I could brush it off as I got spontaneous mental clarity and just associated it to god but this time feels different and I’m going to actively fight as long and as hard as I can and I know I will hiccup time to time but it’s about being consistent. To everyone who is struggling rn, WE GOT THIS, WE are all family and in this together and I welcome all my new brothers and sisters.
Thank you so much for this! recently I’ve fell into sin and I really started to feed my flesh so it’s hard to get back in the groove of spending time with god when there so many distractions coming my way. Even when I have gotten into my Bible recently it hasn’t been intimate, it’s like a chore.
everytime you feel flesh, just think of the Nike phrase “Just do it” and everytinme you want to commit flesh of addicament, just do it and when you do it, it just feels so good that god is right next to you, and you just want to follow what he commands you to do. Even if this doesn’t work, just remember that every cause and effect is Gods Plan. Keep going!
this really helped me! i just started "fresh" with God so I repented(I think I did) and I asked for forgiveness. Although I did that, I feel like I'm not doing enough to strengthen my relationship with him. What I do right now is I read the bible every morning(I follow a 365 thing where it shows me "chapters" to read)and I of course pray, and that's it. I want to start listening to worship music more because I feel like it helps my relationship with him. but I don't know if I'm doing enough. I'm also trying to post about him. For example, this morning I posted a post on my story that says" everything changes when you trust God". So I am slowly trying to post more about God. Any tips on strengthing my relationship with him? and am I doing enough?
Hello sophia. It's not about what you can do to god, but about what he as already done to you. Stop stressing yourself and just be sure about the guidance of the Holy spirit. It's his responsibility to produce the good fruits of the spirit and the daily routine you need.
Before I met God I always felt happy but still feels empty inside but when I started to grow stronger with god my joy feels never ending my heart is never empty He always reminds me that if I fall is sin I can come back up on my feet and always tells me in my head that He loves me . For me God is like air we breath we can see or touch Him but we also cant live without him. Amen
I am a very anxious, worrisome, stressed individual. I feel like I’ve been, I am NEVER able to relax without substances. Since accepting Jesus AND, a big AND, start devoting time and focus to God did I start to notice moments of relaxation. I’m always trying to cut down on Xbox time, which I haven’t done yet but what has changed is my attitude towards it. It bothers me, sinning in general deeply bothers me now and I look to immediately confess and repent. I’m not cussing as much either, it bothers me. That is how I feel Jesus working on my heart. It’s been a shift in attitude, it is a PROCESS. So don’t lose hope or patience, you also need to know how to listen to your heart, the language of the Heart is God’s language. You have to learn how to recognize God working in your life because it is extremely encouraging.
Thank you brother for sharing,I'm just full of tears right now, longing for that deep intimate relationship with the Lord,but it's like I'm so far from God,i need to spend time with the Lord but I don't even know where you start,I've been so overwhelmed by my troubles,please pray for me
