Deleted my Instagram a few months ago and it has been such a blessing. Its hard to see Gods blessings when you're constantly looking outwards. What the world has to offer will never be enough. I choose to follow Jesus not the world.
I’ve waited a long time for this, thanks brother :) Do you guys also mind praying for me please? For the past year or so I’ve been going through heavy spiritual warfare, I’ve gained diagnosed severe anxiety disorder, depression and more from it. I’ve also felt like my faith has slowly been drifting off too, I haven’t felt or heard from God in what seems like forever and life gets really scary without Him. After two years this is the first time my faith has truly been shaken, even if it’s just for a little bit. Thank you all ❤✝️
Prayed for you brother. God bless you. May God show you that He is still with you. “Behold I am with you always, even until the end of the age.”Matthew 28:20
The Father is with you, seek His Face and pray for the wisdom and knowledge that only He can give. Our Father we come before you right now in the blessed name of Christ Jesus asking for You to help fill this vessel to the full and overflow according to Your Will. With all that is needed to remove that spirit that is attempting to take away the life that only You give. And we ask it all knowing and believing in faith that it is so, Amen Amen and Amen. Hallelujah is the highest praise we give of and to You.🙏🏾
Amen, not long ago in my walk, I realized soccer was my god and it's all I desired, day and night. I got burnt out and the Holy Spirit revealed that to me and changed it and focused on Gods word. praise the Lord 🙏🏽
I have been thinking about this a lot for myself too. I have played my whole life and I gained weight two years ago and I have stopped playing all together since last fall. Not being able to play, and play high quality and my dream of being a pro never being fulfilled has destroyed my spirit. I hate not being able to play. I hate that I have this god given talent that never amounted to the pro level. Every where I’ve gone I’ve been recognized as an amazing player. Im constantly compared to Messi, ronaldinho and Zidane. Im a really good keeper too. Sweeper keeper style. But I’ve made this my idol throughout life. And me not being able to play well due to being fat and not being a pro made me depressed. But I know that I was wrong to make this sport and the people within it my idol. I’m working on letting it go and having only Christ and the Holy Spirit be my idol and fulfillment. I hope to one day lose the weight and just play for fun. If it can ever turn into anything more then great. But even then, not place it above God.
@@joshuabile4657 nope. I’m watching Brazil vs Paraguay right now. I’m saying just don’t put it number one in our lives. That place should be reserved for God
@@joshuabile4657 I get what you mean. I think it’s like, as long as we honor the lord with everything we do, and do everything to honor the lord and study scripture every day even if it’s just one page or one verse, then we are on the right path. Prayer, reading for however long. The longer the better. Talking to God, just telling him how we feel and asking him questions. Minimize sinning. And spread his word, then we will be alright. It is hard because there’s so much temptation to par take in worldly activities, thoughts and worries. But it’s a war you know. When we eat we should eat for him, meaning healthy food. Taking care of ourselves with exercise and food honors him. Not watching and listening to bad things honors him. While we are at work we honor him by doing our task to the best of our abilities. We can think about him during any time and activity in our days. Little by little we can get closer to him. But we will never be worthy of him. It’s only through his grace and mercy that we can be saved. Idk I know I said a lot lol but we are on our way brother. We just have to aim to do better each day. The answers are in the scriptures
this video touched on what i’ve been learning lately. this whole summer i’ve been running to social media into endless scrolling. and it leaves me stressed still. but i’ve been practicing to just pray and meditate on God’s Word whenever i feel like picking up my phone to scroll. And finding strength in seeking God’s presence to do this, because i’m now able to be in His presence because of the blood shed on the cross. why run to endless scrolling when Jesus died for me to have an intimate relationship with Him?
2 nights ago I was praying for the lord to help me focus, I realized at the base of every failure, sin, and really everything negative associated with life, can be due to distraction. I couldn’t focus on my work, or my goals, or god, and I realized “wow” if I wasn’t distracted by my phone, my friends, my problems, then I could get anything I wanted done, I could be as close to god as possible, and live the life I always wanted. This video couldn’t have came at a better time, thank you 🙏
Went ahead and dropped most of my social media accounts .. it really does destroy your concentration and is nothing more than a distraction. This journey is personal for me , I appreciate you sharing your experiences 🙏🏽
i've been feeling the heaviness in my heart like something is missing because i filled myself in the wrong places i love Jesus but i got distracted a lot and this video speaks to me every single words thank you brother Alex God bless you!
We all needed this and Our Father who sits in The lHeaven knew before we did. I’ve been praying a prayer that I copied off of the Bible App. I save it to my phone as wallpaper changing it weekly and praying this with and as a part of prayer daily. Praying that it helps others as it does me. God, break me of my busyness and striving. I want to be a person of peace, not stress. I want to prioritize spending time with You. Show me what I need to surrender. Teach me how to actively pursue rest. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I deleted the Instagram and Facebook App temporarily. I’ve noticed I would always be scrolling all day everyday. After deleting it I’ve noticed I’ve had a less urge in pornography. Less anxiety and my mind feels more at peace. I feel more focused. I really feel I’m enjoying the moment instead of scrolling and looking at others. I’ve Been spending more time with Jesus. It was tough for a few days but it’s gotten better.
Amen brother so true. Since I have an addictive personality its good to just stay away from stuff that would bring me out of my peace of God. May Jesus bless y'all! that gose for all y'all reading this two. PEACE!
After watching this vodeo i took the time to actually talk honestly with God. Just talkinng about certain things i have going on in my life and it helps bc when you speak truthfully God hears you. If you sugar coating and giving yourself excuses for sins and mistakes God isnt listening to you bc you aint speaking from a place of truth. Thank you for this. I haven't been to church in a while but im going to start my search for a good one again. Thank you for this.
Thank you for all of your videos, they have helped me understand what God has been doing in my life a long time, like everytime I watch one of your videos its like I have a clearer understanding of God's word and what he's trying to tell me, God bless you for all you awsome videos, and thank you
Thanks so much for this! I find myself distracted by instagram as well. It keeps me from praying constantly and listening for gods responses because I’m just numbing my brain.
Wow. This is such an important message right now (and always!) The flesh and the enemy use all kinds of distractions to redirect our focus from Jesus to ourselves, in seeking people, places and things for self-contentment. The Lord wants to be the priority, the only source. All the extra stuff (in moderation and according to His will) is added on. I really needed this word today as a reminder to stay focused on Him first. Yay, this channel rocks. Glory to God!
Been a silent watcher for years and we appreciate the good work that you've been doing and think that Tiktok and Instagram are a good avenue to spread the Gospel. You should hire a Social Media team to assist with this. Ps. We'd be happy to help if you'd like. 🤗
I had no idea where this was going at first😂 but it was an absolutely amazing message and God is most definitely speaking through you. I love your videos, thank you, and thank God for you!🙏💞
Beautiful video! Did not realize how distracting social media and having a following was for you. I have felt the desire to fill up from social media too especially after gaining a following, so this was a great reminder to fill up in my prayer closet with God and not from the platform he blessed me with
I’ve been ignoring all of the videos on my RU-vid and Facebook that are god related because I messed up so bad and have been diving back into sexual desire, alcohol etc. Man this is so hard and I’m so unworthy. I don’t understand how the being that created the universe actually cares about me. I believe he exists. I believe Jesus is King. But in such a failure. Not worthy of anything I claim to be
At 4:20 what you said is so true ! It will be different this time is what I always thought before sinning but it always is the same and it ends up getting me hurt . Good video ...
