I met my best friend on the Joyous Prairies channel in 2021 during the height of the Pandemic... and my depression. She is a Christian INFJ and subscriber to this channel also, and she reached out to me after seeing a comment I left on an INFJ video. We both love MBTI, and we both love Jesus. I was really struggling with my faith at that time. Now, She prays for me everyday, and I am closer to God because of it. Had it not been for this channel, and mbti... Had it not been for GOD, we probably never would've met. I have come to realize God can use MBTI in great ways, to bring him glory, and bring people together. Like Joy said, we can make a religion out of everything, including Christianity. As long as we don't make a religion out of MBTI or Christianity, we're good! GOD IS USING THIS CHANNEL TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER, AND FOR HIS GLORY. Thank you, Joy.
@@joyousprairies9313 Amen! Very joyous to find fellow Christian INFJs! Yes, we don't like referring to Christianity as religion even if it's technically true, because it steers away from what it means to live in grace. "I have so much to say and nothing to say at the same time". I know exactly what you mean buddy! The way our minds work. It makes it difficult for us and often leads to procrastination. Thank you, God bless and have a nice day! =)
Come baaaaaack. I just found your channel and I see soooo much of me in you. In the past few days I have just discovered more about myself then I have in years. Newbie INFJ guy here.
🤗❤🙏🥳👍So glad to see you posting again. I hope you know how important you are to this community. You bring a unique God-given inspiration and perspective. You are a valuable, beautiful, caring, kind, loving, gentle, passionate, compassionate soul. I first felt the holy spirit at 6, and felt the spirit ask me why my family and church had not told me about salvation. So, I went to ask my mother why she hadn't told me about. Definitely recognize the lukewarmness that the majority of those in organized religion have settled for. We desire truth and relationship with our Heavenly Father, and if we ask, seek, knock, we will find. 🤗❤🙏
Hi I am from Canada and we are going through "Residential Schools" now. These unfortunate parents, children, especially the ones that were lost. I believe you are right it comes from with in not what we are told to believe. I think they lost their way
You are an intercessor, that is why 😭🙏🏼 I go through the same thing. What an amazing experience to be filled with the Holy Spirit at 10 or 11 years old!!! That is incredible. Let the Holy Spirit lead you and don't worry about what people think. Grieves the Holy Spirit so much that pastors preach cessation. Your message is beautiful, you are a bright light for Jesus Christ💜😭🙏🏼🌻💜💐
you are awesome Joy, bless you. Christianity is life, Jesus is life. Christianity is faith in and a relationship with God, it is by heart it is not legalistic it is not like other religions. Unfortunately man corrupts everything.
Crying can be a good thing. Isn't it strange to think about being little and how crying was just a part of relationship? All the emotions were part of relationships. Crying can be a part of a deeper relating and or can be just health giving. It's interesting to watch how people react to other adults crying. Everyone has a hidden connection to sadness though and our civilization doesn't have an acceptable space to sadness or tears. We're supposed to be happy. Winners are supposed to be happy and strong. Crying gives others permission to cry and that's what many are soooo afraid of (me too sometimes). I'm sure there can be a kind of unhealthy crying too but, that's different from the kind I'm describing.
I cry over a lot as well but understand the fluidity I have an want for others. I excersise and go for runs to keep me from falling apart as I am very prone to getting overwhelmed and people pleasing a lot. I love infjs as you are the only other architype to fully understand and accept us enfps fully, thank you joy ! I appreciate your love for others as do I and us all NF architypes, as we are the most susceptible to alot of emotional sensitivity. We are aliens to most but when we find our grooves or people it’s a beautiful flow of low fidelity chemistry thank you !!
I had no one to lay hands on me or pray for me, but I asked the Lord with importunity (over and over) and He filled me! I was more desperate for Him than to live. Praise God. We all have to suffer the reproach of Christ and go outside the camp. Church, legalism, control holds a lot of people back from having a true relationship with Jesus through the gift of His Holy Spirit. Now is the time to get quiet with God and not let anyone hold us back!! True leveling up means not caring what anyone thinks. Not fearing man, but only fearing God. Time is short. 🙏🏼😭💞
I was definitely going through the motions back in 2019 when I was still attending church in person. I feel that God has been stripping away every barrier to get to my true heart. I also cry a lot when worshiping or praying but had never felt free to do so around others at church. There is so much to say in response to this but I cannot get it all out concisely, just know that you are not alone and you are an incredible example of faith and wisdom to me, more than you can imagine. ♥️
Glad you're doing well. Was going to leave a comment asking if you were ok, but didn't want to pester you if you just needed time away, so instead just sent up prayers for you and your family. You're one of the least hypocritical people I've seen, but I share your fear of the label, as I think is wise, since that was the Lord Jesus' most scathing rebuke of people. And you're right about the state of Western Christianity. "When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Hopefully this admirer of your wisdom helps offset any criticism you may receive. God bless you.
Praying in tongues, once you’ve received that gift, is something you can never deny, I’ve found. Anyone that really has seems to agree. As far as crying, at least you can cry, I feel like I will go long periods of time without being able to cry, so everyone has different things. I love your videos and that you’re so willing to talk about things like this! Most people would not do that, and I love your free spirit that is not ashamed of Jesus or your gifts!
I loved this video. Golly. Ken Dillingham, a preacher from here in Ohio came and spoke a few weeks ago at our church. He said something that you reminded me of. He said that we become disciples when we allow Jesus to change what we care about. You sound like a disciple to me ❤ I'm a Cryer too, by the way. It's the one place where I just let it go. His presence is safe, and He's all that matters in the moment. There's a song by Cody Carnes called Nothing Else. It's a good one. It sums up what you talked about.
Also, you've been on my mind this past week. Just got back from vacation and saw that you posted. I'm so glad I watched it. It did my heart good. You're a gem, Joy. 😊
Omg the timing tho. Haven't watched your video yet but I literally checked your channel just an hour ago for the first time in ages because you came to mind and I wondered where you've been. Ha ❤
⚡People say " I like God he is perfect but im unworthy of relationship with self, God, truth, love, or spouse, I fear it, we will fail, we are not self loved enough we won't be affectionate enough or touchy enough, we won't forgive & be patient with each other, we will cheat on each other for not feeling good enough so I'm just going have relationship with sin and satan and tox People who I know will treat be bad and eventually dump me or that I will dump them but that will leave me worse with more fear of a good relationship with self, God, spouse or anything. People say " I made that mistake & got haunted by demons so I went to Christ & now I will give relationship with God, truth, spouse a try if I find a partner who's strong, aware of this things and if not I will stay single with God" People say "Im never going to find people who want healthy relationship so I'm going to sleep around. If u ever just want to F let me know, sin will be my only source of self love, love from others, affection, joy, rest, peace, sin will be my God who gives me love, I will hate truth and be disgusted by it" "God and my spouse will dump me eventually anyways because I'm not worth anything, so I reject them before they reject me" This is exactly what world wants us to do. Instead of masturbating or resisting they sleep around to get the praise and that feeling that they are amazing & loved for a lil bit at least in a numbing way but leaves them feeling less worthy of power and God, worse in everything ECT. Porn star mentality " I'm not good enough for a relationship with God or spouse but I'm good enough for a relationship with satan and toxic people" That's why they don't get saved cuz they believe the lie of sin that they are only good enough for A relationship with hell , Hollywood, gov, politicians, celebs, evil sin, lies, porn stars ECT they don't believe they are good enough for power, truth ECT, they want to save everyone but they themselves don't feel worthy to get saved. They say "believe the truth that you are but I won't believe it myself" They feel sorry for the toxic person so they try to save the toxic person so they sin with them for not having boundaries themselves and then they believe the same lie about themselves as the toxic person does & now they both feel unworthy of salvation, power, best pleasures ect. Now they feed each other lies in bed & off bed " u only deserve hell not the truth, yes thank u u too" " I hope u rot in the deepest part of hell with u, meet too thank u" I hate u more no I hate u more " They believe lies about themselves cuz of sin, they believe they don't deserve forgiveness ECT. They believe those lies cuz they never resist temptations they don't try to live for God and they trust in their own sins to save them not in God power. They only believe what sin says about them, they only believe lies about themselves and they don't believe that truth that they are the truth in Christ, God made them to be the truth not lies, God made to be power to believe they are power not sin, to believe God can saved them from all the lies because is true, sin cant saved them from the lies that sin makes they believe about themselves. Only Satan would tells us that we are not good enough for freedom, power, God, best pleasures, relationship with truth, spouse, God, forgiveness, all good and best things that are the opposite of evil. Satan says we are only worthy of sin and evil, lies, reactions, fears, hell, ECT. Satans says " believe in my sins, u are only good enough for the weakest of everything" & God says believe in power, me the truth" sin doesn't want u to understand what sin is but God does, sin wants u to believe in rejecting power, God wants u to believe in power, Satan and sin don't want u to believe that God forgives u of sin so that u can be power and truth forever with God. Sin says you are not good enough to have boundaries to overcome sin. Sin makes them us believe we are only good enough for a relationship with hell and demons, sin says you are only worth sin, that you are only good enough for sin, that you are only good at doing evil, that u only deserve evil and worth the hell that hates u. Is all lies.
Joy, you will never be truly happy, or feel secure in His arms until you ‘let go… and let God…’ While you try to fix everything around you you’re forgetting that you are a human creature with limited powers. Surrendering all that troubles you, or you feel responsible for, to the care of the Almighty, is the only way in which you will ever have peace. And while you refuse to ‘let go… and let God’… you are unwittingly doubting the Lord’s ability to deal with things unless you’re there to direct Him. And you can’t direct God. Hand things over to Him. Let Him do what He decides is right. We are his ‘children’ not His directors. Pray and keep on praying. And be prepared for His solutions and the outcomes under His control to be sometimes at variance with your idea of what should happen. You don’t see how the wider story ends. He does! Blessings always…
The rules all aspire to virtue and right living. God enlarges one's heart to the point where one's feelings are in line with God's Will. You would enjoy "The Story of a Soul" the autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux. It would be a great blessing to have you at a Traditional Latin Mass.
Yes, I'm sure you would, because that's not the proper place for that, even if it is authentic tounges. It's not that hard to discern the spirits of rebellion in you! Yet, nothing that an exorcism could not end! If you could speak in English and those who only know French or Spanish could understand the rules of discipline and virtue you were teaching, then we would see the good spirits in your soul! You should read St. Teresa of Avila's "The Interior Castle" way over your head, and I doubt your mind is open enough to read that! With her discernment of spirits, (both good and bad visited her soul) she knew the difference between spirits of tounges and spirits of babel!
@@espressocoffeeshine4346 bless you....keep on speaking biblical sound truth, may the spirit of the Living God flow out of you and bless everyone around you.
@@joyousprairies9313 Welcome to my world 🌍 Just skipping along picking flowers. Trying to figure out why people do bad things to others. Trying to figure out what my purpose in life is. Trying to keep my sanity intact. 😔 Your not lost you're just taking care of the important stuff.....you and your family. Wish I had that.
