Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my RU-vid channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!

hey, sis!! let's chat -- add the 6th thing to our list today! What is one more thing we should leave behind in 2023 (i'm sure there's lotssss to choose from!!) so we can draw closer to God?! Let us know in the comments!!

@tiffanywilliams9283 6 месяцев назад

In all honesty social media as a whole. (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, RU-vid, TikTok, Snapchat, all of it) It’s been getting in the way of my walk. And probably a majority of people. This world want to distract you away from god. So I would say if you want to get closer to him then you need to take long breaks in between social media consumption. 😅👍 Which I’m also saying this to myself too.

@hallmark4 6 месяцев назад

6. Comparison.

@sarai-wv1te 6 месяцев назад

My number 6 is hopelessness. Letting the devil steal our hope and joy is something that I am working on leaving behind in 2023. In life we will have moments in our waiting/wilderness season where we feel hopeless. We can feel it for a little while but anchor on to Jesus and tell him exactly how you feel He can handle it. Hold on tightly because it doesn’t last forever even though it may feel like it. Having a flourishing godly community around you will also do wonders.

@LittleinnocentRin1 6 месяцев назад

Social media is definitely one and I have to not drink water. I have to eat more fruit since I have Lupus because the medication isn’t something I want to be dependent on. Pills make my stomach upset so I have to start drinking more water on my days off. I tend to not eat or drink water at work due to my overreactive bladder. I have one because they had to cut off half of my uterus because of cancerous cells and I had surgery on my bladder to a non cancerous growth. They cut it off and wanted to see what it was. So I’ve had issues with my bladder being overreactive especially with water and tea.

@asiajana4314 6 месяцев назад

I would say hopelessness as well.

@dejamcneal3011 6 месяцев назад

The distractions. The feeling of needing to scroll on my phone for no reason at all. I realize my desire to pray and read the word decreases when I do this constantly. Holy Spirit help us to desire more of you even in our “down time”!

As humans, we tend to worry almost about everything in our lives. We fear we might lose smthg if we give up control or we might not get it if we do not strive for it. Well, when you walk with the Lord, you rapidly learn that there's no losing. Don't be afraid to be rejected or miss out on things you think are important to you. The Lord has always the best for you. You just don't see it now.

@dez9005 5 месяцев назад

THank you. ❤

@carolynlashley4370 6 месяцев назад

In my opinion: #6: Comparing - making comparisons between you and colleagues, family, friends, neighbors, strangers. God has OUR unique plan/journey laid out for us so there is no need to compare yourself to someone else. You are uniquely and beautifully made in God's image. 🙏🏽

@asiahsimone 6 месяцев назад

I am so excited to walk into this next year with God. The 6th thing we should let go of is comparison! Everyone has a different journey. You never know what the next person is dealing with behind closed doors. We often only see one dimension of a person's life. Remind yourself that you are unique, special, and loved. Channel your energy into being inspired instead of comparing someone's Chapter 14 with your Chapter 1 or 2. Stay blessed everyone! Thank you Melody for this video!

@redginaguerrier631 6 месяцев назад

Pride: I struggle with pride but what has helped me is to remember humility isn't thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less because you are preoccupied with JESUS.

@deonjennings4440 6 месяцев назад

For me personally, it's fear. I struggle with it, and it feels overwhelmingly shameful as a Christian. But, by His grace and His redemption, I am learning to lean on Jesus.

@ChrisA72595 5 месяцев назад

I feel the same.. health worries and general worries and fears..

@_Palesa_M 6 месяцев назад

This was a much-needed video! 💫🙏🏽 My number 6 would be my lack of trust in God. I still struggle with fully trusting God, however, I understand now that trust is an important ingredient in building and maintaining a strong relationship, especially a relationship with God. I need to rest in knowing that God will always want what’s best for me, and even though I might not have the foresight, I should trust where he leads always! 🤍🌸

@lavenderface_lilmari0420 6 месяцев назад

The Sixth thing that I'm leaving in 2023, is doubtfulness. The Lord is carrying me and my family through an uncomfortable journey and we've learned that it doesn't matter on the destination. The trust we have for Him is enough to know MY GOD WILL LEAVE NOR FORSAKE US !!! My God will provide for us and that's the spirit I'm carrying to the new year.

@chichielem1843 6 месяцев назад

Another to add would be .... Letting go of harmful friendships... Definitely not an easy one but with God's help it's possible! Thanks for sharing Melody 😊

@achillesH.E.A.L 6 месяцев назад

6. Carrying the burdens and battles God already has covered. Like you, @Melody Alisa, I grew up SUPER independent. Having to help raise my brother and becoming an adult before my time, has naturally evolved in my life and relationships. That seed has harbored an independence in me that gets in God's way! I feel it AFTER I pause in my fussing, anger and frustration as to why things are happening or working out in the way I believed they should. This is a daily battle. I pray as I draw closer to God this mindset diminishes! Thank you for this word as always, Sis.

@jennifergreen9160 6 месяцев назад

Appreciate you and this video. I've been single for months (previously widowed) and decided to maintain the same for 2024. Relationships are a distraction to my growth with God. 🙏

@fun_in_fifth 6 месяцев назад

I needed to see this comment! I am now single after being previously widowed and this last relationship was a huge distraction from God.

@Fervent21 5 месяцев назад

6) Resentment. This one has been really hard for me. My husband decided to walk away from our marriage after 20 yrs. I have been having a hard time speaking with him nicely. I keep praying that God softens my heart and that he teaches me to speak with love. Thank you Melody for this encouragement. God bless you.

@sevenrue4754 5 месяцев назад

Things i am giving up -Social media (gave up a long time ago just had tik tok but giving that up too) -Things i consume ( poor music, poor diet) - impatience -people/ places/ things don’t don’t align with the new me! Things i am adding -silence/non productiveness -daily prayer/ Bible reading -clean eating and exercise - working on my dreams aggressively - -

@London.marieee 6 месяцев назад

This was such a blessing, one thing we should give up is projecting and comparison. Everyone journey with Christ is unique. God is in control and he knows what he is doing.

@randompieces_xyz 6 месяцев назад

1. Distractions 2. Shows & Movies (you’re getting convicted on) 3. Self sufficiency 4. Speaking poorly about ourselves 5. Impatience 6. Not involving God with every detail of my life

@graynight3478 6 месяцев назад

Prayers please. I'm contesting to my professor about my grade and ai usage. It's regarding academic dishonesty. I wrote a lengthy paper to explain my thoughts. I'm praying that it works out well in my favor and that I managed to convince my professor well. Thank you

@SpiritLedLisa 6 месяцев назад

I impressed myself this year with how fiercely I chased God. I've always walked with God but this year, I took my pursuit for my Father to another level and i plan to continue ❤

@ayomideg8612 6 месяцев назад

any tips?🥺

@SpiritLedLisa 6 месяцев назад

@ayomideg8612 Hello Sis! Compliments of the season to you. Here are some of the things I did (in no particular order) 1. I made effort to fully commit to attending weekly Bible study (and Church services) and stop making excuses for missing attendance 2. I decided to set aside designated time to pray EVERYDAY rather than just waiting for a prayerful mood to hit me randomly...time to listen from God and worship. I found that secluded time like taking runs or jogs in nature was the best time for me to really connect with God uninterrupted by the beautiful chaos of my home 😅 3. I stopped waiting on the 'big' things in life to experience God's presence (nothing wrong with the big things btw) but instead I asked the Holy Spirit to intentionally show me daily little things I can find joy in and experience the goodness of God e.g gardening, watching a sunset, talking a walk and breathing in God's air etc 4. I spend a lot of time on youtube learning things daily and I purposely started curating what takes up more attention, and this was choosing more God-focused content than entertainment 5. I asked God to show me ways I can be a little more selfless and focus more on serving others than myself all the time. E.g, I started a personal tradition were every year on my birthday, I will choose a charitable organisation to go and donate to as a gift time myself. It felt amazing I could always come back n share more

@blessedngrateful2254 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing these tools🥰 No 3 reminds me of a quick story my Pastor told us this Sunday...There was a man driving to the grocery store. He was in a big hurry and frantically searching for a parking spot. After going up and down each aisle twice, he says "God, if you give me a parking spot, I will go to church on Sunday" and no sooner than those words coming out of his mouth, a car directly in front of him started to back out of a spot. Then the man says "Never mind God, I got it" lol

@Techsightstudio 4 месяца назад

We need to cultivate the habit of prayer, worship and daily reminder through scriptures in the bible or a daily devotional focus on how to draw more closer to him because we can't do it on our own. And we need to keep track daily because i think consistency is the key. God bless you all...

@Janaemarie99_ 6 месяцев назад

The 6th thing I think we should all work on in 2024 is to be more grateful for everything. Our health, our mind, our home, children, etc. ❤

@afenilukhelee Месяц назад

I think you touched on it with the 3rd point. We need to leave behind our pride. Believing that we know better than God what our lives could and should look like and how we think as we can do things on our own, without His help and guidance. We need to stop being prodical daughters!

@MelodyAlisa Месяц назад

amen, sis!! so beautifully said

@chosen2324 6 месяцев назад

God definitely is speaking to me through you. I've been convicted about all 5 (especially number 4 -my exact situation down to the years😮). #6 (similar to #3) is to fully trust in God even when His plans don't make sense.

@sadiemccoy4208 6 месяцев назад

Giving up other individuals who don’t align with our walk with God

@honeytee4942 2 месяца назад

Procrastination. The feeling of “I don’t want to”. Comparison. I found myself allowing the smallest thing throw off my spiritual energy. I felt without God and couldn’t shake it for anything. It still lingers this more.

@Angelic_xo 6 месяцев назад

No hesitation!! Its kinda like what you said about conviction and what you watch, except when the lord put it on your heart to act or get rid of something… do it! Less hesitation more obedience!!😌

@claudinetownsend1140 6 месяцев назад

Sleep rising up earlier to work God around our schedule

@ACM8806 3 месяца назад

I think that asking God to change our heart posture. Making sure we're looking deep within ourselves and asking God for help to remove things that keep us out of his and will and presence. My pastor said in a sermon that we have to make sure our relationship with God is not transactional. We can't only come to God when we need things. We want to seek him wholeheartedly. Really want his will, not ours.

@Danielsgirl389 6 месяцев назад

SIS!!! God just answered my prayer through yours words in this video💖I can’t thank Him enough & using you as His vessel. God bless you, Melody! You speak His word so beautifully. This was extremely convicting -in the best way! Thank you!!!!!!

@aprilbenson7789 6 месяцев назад

Be prayerful like setting time out just to go to him in prayer not just to ask for something but stay connected to his divine connection that we already have ..i struggles with this because i am not one who memorizes scripture as I need and the busy life i read the bible but I don't really always find my how it connects to me moments.

@melissascholfield1162 5 месяцев назад

I was only 5 minutes in and girl you were already all in my business lol! You know what the ironic thing is. I was distracted for about 30 minutes before I clicked on your channel and that was #1 on your list. But to be honest every single area you mentioned was me looking in a mirror. I need to reflect, reflect, reflect and start to remove those things from my life. Thank you so much for this sis. I can’t think of a #6 because I’m so blown away about the 5 you mentioned but I am to praying to seek God more in 2024.

Jesus give me grace and endurance this Christmas. As a single mother my number one priority, are my sons. Both of them are autistic so they require a lot from me. God give me strength as I struggle to provide for them. My faith in you is still strong! Even as I struggle to pay rent every month and I struggle to buy groceries for my children, I KEEP FAITH in you LORD. Jesus hear my prayers I’m so overwhelmed and discouraged because I’m also battling lupus and have heart issues. Lord give me strength because I want to give up. 😢

I have been constantly desiring for a family of my own but I have been working alot these past two weeks. I was grateful to God that I am in the current single season because I get to enjoy me and Him time and He allows me to rest. So, yes! Enjoy the season, that you are in right now, constantly giving thanks to HIM.

@aliciasheffield-rw9em 6 месяцев назад

First thing, thank you for your content. I truly love your channel it speaks to my heart, mind and soul every single time. Now, I would say to add giving up the need to be in “control “ or truthfully false sense of control. Our Father God will definitely remind you (me) 😊 who truly is in control.

@josie9654 6 месяцев назад

Oh my!! A few days ago, I was being so hard on myself and started speaking negatively about myself. I was calling myself names and was in a very bad place.

Thank you so much for this video, was so helpful to me. I struggle with number 4 especially with letting things go even after repenting and asking for Gods forgiveness struggling with breaking the chains of myself however I continue to encourage myself in Gods word and promises. I have recently been saved and this walk is so different I surrendered everything willingly, my music, what I watch, practicing patience, its such a new beginning just in the process of renewing my mind in Christ and allowing him to have full capacity of my mind, my thoughts. I thank you so much for this video. It has been a major help. God Bless you ❤.

@sophiap9194 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video Melody! I hope you continue to make it a series as it really helped me. I could say the 6th thing for me would be Trusting in the Lord. I always find myself trying to take things into my own hands and I forget I need to trust God because he’s got me. So I would say trusting in God is a struggle but is the only way to truly let him work and not worry about things in life because I am his daughter and he will provide in his own time and in his own way ❤

@corinaibarra3483 6 месяцев назад

My 6th thing would be comparison. I see others around me flourishing and feel like they are way ahead of me. But everyone has their own timing, my time will come and I will not have a need for comparison because I will be content. I just have to leave it with God. Let go and let God!

@nikkiross2453 6 месяцев назад

Hey Sis! The 6th thing I would add to the list is letting go of your plans. I tend to come up with a way I see God doing things in a situation and when I don’t see it happening that way I end up with unnecessary stress, anxiety and tears. I remind myself of Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 55:8-9 to encourage myself not in these times.

@play.girljasz6488 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for this. I felt like a failure because I guess forget to take it to God first. I think that I should be able to handle it all on my own. But surrender is a habit. Something we do time and again in fellowship with the Lord.
