I’ve noticed with secular music, it’s hypnotic and replays in my head. Yet christian music fills my soul and doesn’t replay excessively 👀 The secular music and negative voices fade after a while. And God comes through so fresh and bright🌄
Yesss but one thing I am struggling with is the fact that I used to listen to secular music so much, that it is now engraved into my head and it would randomly start playing in my head ,even when I’m praying😢
@@oratile100don’t feel guilty if when you’re praying you still hear secular music at times - The more you fill your mind with the word of God and music that glorifies Him the more those things will be what stays in your head. We remember the things that we look at or listen to the most, so the more you fill yourself up with Him the more the things of this world will fade away (Galatians 5:16)
Very true I relocated from Cali to Texas 2 years ago. And I've not been listening to any secular music except for a Playlist I made of music I grew up listening to while my mother cleaned her house. All old school Stevie Wonder, EW&F, Phoebe Snow, stuff like that. But for the most part I listen to what I call Country Christian Pop music. And your absolutely right. I don't catch onto the lyrics as fast because they don't play the same song every hour on the hour. It doesn't put me in a hypnotic trance. And it gives me a better feeling. I'm not suffering road rage, I'm not feeling hurried or anxious. I love it !
Deborah all I can say is that you are indeed blessed. Your revelations of the word of God and the way you are able to articulate things so clearly and powerfully is amazing to see. It's on par with preachers who've been doing this for a long time. This can only be by the Spirit at work in you. I thank God I found your channel. P.S We love your vlogs too... Please continue to do them still.
Ahh sis!! 😭🤍 to God be all the glory I honestly cannot take any credit. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I’m equally as grateful to God for bringing you here 🥹 And more vlogs are coming again next week 🤗 love you !!
I think people are mixing manifestations with the power of the tongue . And they’re trying to speak as if they already have what they’re asking for, but not realizing it’s God that delivers it. So I would love for you to dive even deeper into that 😮💨🫶🏽 Love you Debs 💕
Super amazing video, I’m also in college while trying to have a relationship with the Lord, giving my family time, work, and the little crumbs left to myself lol 😂
That’s a lot sis!! Know that Jesus is with you in everything 🤗 he’s with you while you spend time with your family, while you’re at work, wherever! He will never leave you nor forsake you. Make sure you take some time to breathe in between it all. He kind to yourself 🤍
25:38 I agree! Nothing is too small or too big! Few days ago, I asked Him to wake me up at 4 am so I could have my quiet time with Him. I did not set my alarm. He woke me up lol it’s so funny but so so amazing!!!
Hello Deborah! I’m so grateful for your videos and wisdom at an early age. I’m learning so much from you and I’m 61 years old. I struggled for years after narcissistic abuse most of my life and I didn’t understand why evil people “seemed to” prosper and why it appeared that God had allowed me to be tortured by people who seemed untouchable. Keep teaching us older people things we didn’t clearly understand until you explained it. Especially the part about how the devil works to keep his followers prosperous so they don’t call on God. WOW! That really hit me hard that God is not mocked by anyone and that evil doesn’t win. Victory in Jesus!❤ Thank you 🎉
Ahhh I’m so grateful to hear this 🥹🤍 it’s all God! To him be all the glory! I’m sorry to hear about the abuse you’ve gone through for a big part of your life 😔 That has grieved God’s heart also as your father. Continue to find comfort in the lord and the word. It’s definitely frustrating when things seem to be so unfair, but our Heavenly Father is just! He sees everything. Whoever did that to you will have to face the consequences of their actions one day 🙏🏽 Read through psalms again where David cries out to the lord about these things! That will definitely provide comfort. It’s such a blessing to have you here Yvette 🤍 we’re in this journey together and for that I’m beyond grateful :)
@@deborahbx_ I really appreciate your kindness in responding to me. I know that messages like yours are greatly used by our God to heal people who have suffered abuse. Although healing is a process I’m confident that God will bring goodness out of the pain, in Jesus Name!❤️🎉🙏🏾
Sis, you came through with answering each question transparently! Thank you for that, praise God! When you spoke on menifesting and the movie scene about the "jail cell" (I think that was from "God's Not Dead"?), it reminds me of Psalm 73, a psalm of Asaph when he pondered why the wicked prosper while he gets "nothing but trouble all day long" (NLT version). In essence, we cannot manifest anything; God is omniprescent and He can give and take away the things we now possess in our homes. Instead, I pray that as a reminder we look to Jesus as He's in control and He knows what we desire in our hearts.
Yesss sis amen!! Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Apart from him we have nothing 🤷🏽♀️ its to him we look, not to all these things the enemy tries to trick us with. And thank you for mentioning the movie, you’re right it’s that one! 🥰
❤The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, and it prolongs our days. This is the growing family that will endure in times to come and it shall be established from glory to glory. The Lord keeps you in perfect health, peace and prosperity for us, and this massive kingdom project. Thank you for your heart. A big thank you to sister Shadiha for her input on the first two parts interview. Let the faith talk with Deborah continue to grow from glory to glory in Jesus name. God bless you greatly sister Deborah and remember that Africans are tall by heritage😂😊!!! You are pure, purposeful and blessed with the indwelling life of Christ. Keep Him with all diligence
Amen!! Thank you Amos for your prayer and encouragement. I appreciate it beyond measure 🥹🙏🏽 be blessed also, we’re all a part of the same family. It’s true that Africans are tall by heritage hahah I got the height from both sides 🤣
It is so refreshing to see you speak about your faith and your journey with God. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open with us. You are an inspiration and a breath of fresh air. 💕
I also want to share my testimony of Gods grace on my life on RU-vid but I’ve been hesitant because I want it to be pure and for the right reasons so I am going to start praying about it before I take that next step. Thank you for this video Deb🩷
I am also praying for a Job right now. A lot of people says that it is impossible for me to get it, because of the location, but I have a God, a God that can make impossible things possible.
Your advice on being a creator is so good. Regardless of the medium any kind of creator would do well to not worry about the numbers and just create with the thought that if they help one person it was all worth it.
I absolutely love these Q and A's!! It's a mixture of advice, your life experience and just a different side of you. Also, your phone?? This quality is amazing.
You are so wise for your age. Love the content! I love your singing voice. I like all of your "past life" songs, especially "What I get" and "Nomore" Your sound was so mature and soulful. Thanks for sharing and sharing your experiences/ vulnerability.
Deborah, I create music as well & I’ve taken a hiatus for some of the same reasons when God revealed to me that I need to share my story through music… I just listened to some of your songs & you have amazing writing skills & such a very powerful/moving voice… I pray God shows you which way you should go within your creative path, if you can use your voice to continue to glorify him through music I just know you’d change the world 🙌🏽
Thank you Austin, I appreciate you saying that 🥹🙏🏽 I’m definitely praying about it. Right now the desire to create music isn’t there, but when the time comes I’ll get back into it for the Lord! 🥳 I hope you’re having a good week :)
Hi! I just found your channel last week, and I feel that your testimony and the words of God you're sharing are timely for me. Now I realize, and you've made it clear to me, that I should not manifest things that I want to happen in my life but should instead pray for them. Thank you
@@deborahbx_ thank you so muchh sis we would like more QnA cause i got alot of understanding through our journey with Christ the part of dating and that at school all that we do we are worshiping God 🙏🙏🙏May the God Lord bless you Amen Thank you sis Love you❤❤
Being 16 and irrational made me think that God does not care about our desire but seeing u gives me hope that he'll give me all l desire but by his will the fact that u wanted to have a platform through secular music but God gave u a platform that is made not from lies and things of this world but purity God u bless sis ❤
Amen sis!! 🥹🤍 what he’s done and is doing in my life is just an example. He really does work in funny ways. That when we lay down our desires, he will take us beyond where we could’ve imagined for his glory 🥰 Stay close to him and watch him do what only he can do!
hi Deborah, I recently discovered you and while beginning my journey with the God, you were one of the first people I found that has genuinely helped me get closer to him and learning more about him. I love your style and your content and you are so graceful Deborah, please continue to make videos, they are so helpful
You know what God has told me while I was at school because I was worrying I’ve been discouraging myself thinking I can't get into them big nice colleges but God has me thinking like this because I believe I could and people around me don't understand that but he told me (When it comes to God your not going to be thinking small but big and people will look at you crazy but God is not a small God he’s a big God who does big things)
Hi Deborah, thank you again for another great video. Having this Q&A was a fantastic idea that allowed you to answer questions that are so relevant to everyone and allow us to get to know you better. You are in my prayers and may God continue to bless you and keep you safe.
Yesssssssss another great video. You don't miss! You're like a good neighbor…blessed beyond your years on this earth. As an older gentleman, my two cents, is leave your past musical endeavors as they are. Don't change. It makes you who you are today. If I could change some things from my past of my goodness!! But still standing and poo poo folks who judge. My 2cents. Stay UP! 👍🏾❣️✨
hahah your comment made me laugh Barry 😂🙏🏽 Thank you so much for saying that. The music is definitely a part of my journey, you’re right. Let’s see what God will do. I’ll continue praying about it 🤗
Deborah, enjoyed Q & A pt. 1! Can't wait until part 2! And listening to you sing and watching how much you enjoy it is quite evident. Thanks for sharing that part of yourself in your ministry. God has blessed you with an anointed voice. Stay encouraged 🙂
Big sis in Christ ❤ loved the video and having to enjoy your content in this season of my life is an actual blessing💌 keep shining girlll you are amazing 💌
Deborah thank you so much for sharing this video I loved it and thank you so much for replying back to my comment about me starting my own podcast as a 17 year old girl I will definitely be praying and asking God for the strength to start and if this is what he wants me to do I love you so much keep on encouraging others to be closer with God ❤❤❤❤
Either way I’m excited for you sis! This journey with Jesus truly is living life to the fullest. We live to glorify him and bring people closer to him. What job or profession we have is not where our purpose lies, it’s all in him. That takes some pressure off to get it right 🥰 I’ll be praying for you also! The platform I use to get my podcasts published is called: Buzzsprout. When and if you’re ready, check it out! Love youuu xx
Deborah, I had to comment and show my support. You are truly a vessel being used by the Lord. Sis you are really speaking the truth. I can relate on so many levels. I used to think it was just me going through this or thinking this way but hearing you speak so openly and honestly, God bless. You literally reiterated 1 Peter 5:9. This is so encouraging. Thank you so much for your content. Looking forward to more 🥰
Blessings sister Deborah,😊 love the message and may the Lord continue blessing and using u, let us also pray for our brothers,fathers,mothers and sisters out there in the middle of the wars happening in many countries they need our prayers. ❤ and God bless u all
No need to worry about how people will react to your music. Some are just judgmental and hypocritical; we just want to enjoy the work you were gifted to create. Continue being free to be used by the Lord.
I feel the SAME way about my job. A lot of my co-workers are into witchcraft and all those things that involve divination, along with using substances and other things. A huge thing at my job is gossip, as well. It feels very uncomfortable, to say the least, and I’m ready to leave. Been praying and will continue to pray for direction and clarity because although it was a blessing at first, it seems now like it’s time to move on. Especially since every day I’ve been getting more and more uncomfortable and feeling mentally drained.
Yesss I can relate to this so much sis!! I will be praying for you also. That the Lord will give the both of us clarity on if and when to leave. He knows our situations. He knows about the finances and the struggles. In the mean time continue to be a light in your workplace! Walk out of gossip conversations and keep doing the work. Jesus is with us 🤍🤍
oh wow! you are willing to give up your job that is giving you much freedom and money, then asking god about it. you def inspire me sis. keep shining!!
Awww! Glory be to God 🙏🙌👏! How beautiful that is coming out from you by the Holy Spirit. These have been laid up in my heart ❤️ by the Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus for changing lives and transforming hearts and still working on people. May you continue to be submissive to the Lord. More grace ❤️ and keep shining ✨.
Finally!! Just added "That's what I get," as well as your other songs on Spotify! It's going on repeat. Your voice is like honey! Truly a gift from God, love! All artists have a progression in their music, sound, lyrics, style, and messaging etc., if you transition in the future to non-secular music, of course that's okay
Thank you so much for sharing these things and chatting with us 27:40 i really miss making music to the point of tears but i also wasnt using that gift the way i needed to . So i am surrendering that to him , and girl you sung your heart on that song !!! I hope you’ll be able to record some new music that reflects who you are now , we would love to hear it !
Ahh sis, God has given us talents for a reason. He is the ultimate creative! So definitely lay your desires to make music down before him 🥰 he knows! Let’s see what he will do, we might be listening to your music soon 🤗
Absolutely love this. The movie with the old lady scene is God’s Not Dead (2014). I have this scene forever imprinted in my brain. It really stuck with me as a young Christian.
Your story is kinda similar to mine and also my middle name is Deborah, hey sis! 👋🏽 I was a prodigal daughter but this year in January I was intentional about seeking God. I got baptized again yesterday and I am so happy to give my life over fully to God! Thank you for sharing your stories and answers with us🤍🙌🏽
Girl you rock! Very wise explanation regarding your secular music. Loved your performance too. If it is God's will, you will be performing Christian music for His honor and Glory. I am looking forward to part 2. Jx
I really like how beautifully and eloquently you gave us your thoughts on manifestation. Manifestation is such a big scam of the devil. Same goes for meditation which always brought only bouts of anxiety for me never peace and even less any useful insight.
I really enjoyed this Q&A. The honesty and boldness, especially when you touched on manifesting. Also our journeys are somewhat similar. This is the year I decided to fully commit to The Lord and I don’t regret it one bit. I pray that you will continue to grow in your journey and inspire others along the way. Keep shining your light sis, and don’t dim it for anyone.. blessings to you always 🤍
So sad I cannot hear a thing. Got tired of reading subtitles 😂. I'm so looking forward to the refilming. But I thank God for such a video. I also decided to go celibate and not date at all to honor God and wait for God's time. The video you posted about serving God while we're still single really made a lot of sense. May God bless and protect you Debby😊
Hi Deborah 🙂 I think you should be going into schools and youth clubs giving your Christian talks. We need our young people (maybe 14+) to learn a lot more about Christian values and the Bible 📖. You give really good advice. Your channel is beyond wonderful. I hope your week is progressing well. 🙏
You can ask me questions anytime sis!! I’ll definitely be doing more Q&A videos soon! And you’re too sweet 😭 Right back at you! You’re just as awesome and filled with the Holy Spirit I can tell. Keep doing you and shining your light. I love having you here 🤗
Deborah, can you make a video about your podcast journey specifically? God put it on my heart years ago and He's been very persistent. I don't know where to start. Where do we upload? How do we upload? How to secure a name? Equipment we need? Software? All the beginner logistics. If you feel called, of course. Thank you!
