My 21 year old daughter... Her feelings of loneliness have torn her apart. At this very moment she is sitting in a mental health facility broken and in despair. Her entire life she says she has felt lonely. She loves God, but she's never been able to make a friend. She is very quiet, shy, and introverted. She was the girl that nobody ever invited over, the one never invited to the dance, etc. Over the years, I've watched with a broken heart as she tried to make friends...to no avail. She sits in her room each night crying and praying to make friends. Social media makes it even worse as she sees people her age out enjoying each other and living life. Because of her loneliness she feel into deep depression and it has spiraled out of control. She has contemplated suicide and doesn't believe life will ever get better. I pray each day that God intervenes and removes this spirit of loneliness and that she finds some great friends that will love and accept her just the way she is...which is perfect. Thank you, God, for answering my prayers. I know you are in control and have wonderful plans for my girl. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Oh I empathize with your daughter. In January 2023 I ended up in the mental hospital for suicidal idealations and I felt alone even when I had two friends and my husband. I felt disconnected but God saved me from my loneliess and gave me a friend who walked with Him. Father I pray that you do the same for Your child, show her that she is not alone. Allow her to open up her heart in her community in church. Lord, cover her as she walks through the valley. In Jesus' name, I pray, amen.
@@temari105 Thank you so very much. Reading your note gives me hope for her. I know in my heart that one day she will no longer feel lonely here and that God will put good friends and a good man in her life. It's so hard to watch your child struggle through this. God bless you. 🙏
@ctgeorgia I will keep you two in my prayers. I pray that you will stay strong, know that God has your daughter in His hands. It might not happen today or tomorrow, but it will happen. Be strong and take care of yourself.
Wife divorcing me. Forced out of my house into an apartment on my own. 2 year old daughter that we split time with. Feeling alone everyday. Prayers and Lord give me strength.
@@FlavinRapidin-xj4ei I’m just praying to him everyday. Continuing to grow in his word and being a better man and father to my daughter. Being the change and letting God take care of my wife, praying he heals her heart and lets her see the family we could be now. FYI no cheating she just grew apart with our daughter from me.
Stay strong. It hurts for a while but it will get better. God is always with you. He will give you the strength, the only one who loves us unconditionally. God loves you
@@LivingForChrist24 I’m trying my best and praying for strength and patience for his plan in this storm. It just hurts while I’m in it and never seems to get better or easier. I’m ready to be happy is all and feel guilty for my child this is happening
You have no idea how much I needed this video! Not even an hour ago I was praying to God about how I felt abandoned and alone and unloved, I'm already in tears! Praise our Lord he is close to the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit! Praise be to him!
I cried few minutes ago because of how broken, lonely, loss and distant i felt from God. But devil is a liar. God never leave nor forsake. This video was right on time. There's still tears on my eyes while writing this. If you're going through something like me, know that only God can fill that empty void in your life. Hold unto God, break those strongholds and be bold to face the world out there!! Remember, Jesus loves you ❤
I spent an hour today in God’s presence praying coz I was feeling very alone and isolated. I believe this video being posted on the very same day wasn’t a mistake 🙏🏽
I once told a church i was in i was lonely and the women i told looked at me and said i had the spirit of orphan and then one walked away from me and one woman started treating me as if i was a pick me girl and only wanted attention. Horrible feeling it only made that feeling worse but with Jesus i got over it He helped me sort through that.
That sucks you got treated that way, i remember once trying to explain my spiritual warfare problems to my priest and pastor at two separate churches and was turned away. So i understand you Jesus is our best friend and perhaps my only one
I was attending church regularly for almost a year and told leadership also I'm struggling and wanted like a mentor or some type of discipleship and they also didn't care enough to help and that never happened. Jesus also helped me heal because I still love the broken people like myself but come on we need to do better as the body of Christ. When someone needs help and vocalizes, help us. I recently moved to new city so will look for a new church. I love the bride of Christ, Jesus my Savior died for His church and shed His blood. Although people are unfaithful, Jesus is Faithful. We may feel lonely sometimes but we are not Alone. We walk by Faith not by our feelings. The truth is that The Holy Spirit lives in us.❤ I'll look for a Bible study I love the word!
You guys are doing a great job! Recently, God has shown me that my deep hurts included loneliness. As a kid I felt abandoned and it has caused me anxiety. In my Christian faith, God uses this channel at specific times in my life to guide me and comfort me. I and many others really appreciate you, never stop uploading!!
I’ve struggled with loneliness a lot throughout the last year and still comes in spurts every now and again. My whole life, I’ve never really had that Christian friend who is like a brother to me, mostly just had acquaintances in my life. But there were times where I had one really good friends but it’s either they moved or I moved, and unfortunately just don’t talk as much or have that same connection. Sometimes it feels like every time I become close with someone or just really starting to know the person, they exit my life at the worst times because it’s like “aww, I really liked that person in my life.” I’ve made efforts to try and keep these really good friends of mine, but I’m always the one trying to reach out, and I feel as if my efforts are being wasted. So I’ve struggled with this which feels like since high school and I’m almost 24. I know I’m still young and I know God is with me and won’t leave me without fruitful people in my life, but I’ve always struggled with patience. I’m thankful for videos like this because I know God sees me, and knows that I need community. I am introverted and can be shy at times. Definitely not nearly as shy as I used to be, now, when I meet someone new they usually see what I’m like right off that bat lol. But I am fine with being “alone” at times, but my feelings of loneliness really come up when I see other people say “I have plans tonight with friends” or “I’m going on a date with my girlfriend .” Things like these then make me think about how I don’t have a core group of friends and makes me feel a little sad. I think sometimes I’m afraid to ask for friends because I don’t know what to expect, but maybe that’s a good thing. Having the faith to pray for friends is all God is asking for us who are lonely to do. Not only does it mean we acknowledge God’s existence and that he’s with us, but also gives God the ability to do more than we can possibly think or imagine in our lives. So even though I’ve been lonely for a while now, I will still cling to the hope that Jesus gives me and I can always rest knowing that He is my true faithful friend who is always with me.
im 17 and have the same problem with friends as you sir, and im already struggling with loneliness heavily, so thank you for inspiring me that you are still fighting. Godbless
Same here…I share your feelings as I am also facing a similar situation, you might feel lonely but you are not alone! With God we shall find the way, pray for you!
I'm 16 and had the same problem too man! Where the friendships would be one sided , I'd put in all the work!. So I just ended up leaving em. But I'd like to have someone that I could bond with as best friends with the same faith. But it seems like everyone is snakes these days. Also one way you can conquer loneliness is by being alone , at first it's tough but overtime you start to realize that you weren't alone to begin with! ❤️
You're not alone. I live in a state with no family and a city with no friends. It's been like that for a years. Maybe there's a reason for these isolation periods and God will reveal it as we grow closer to him.
I can agree that there is more temptation when you’re feeling alone versus when you’re with other people. the DESPAIR that comes with sin is not worth it 😟
God showed me this video at the most perfect time. I've really been struggling with feeling lonely since going to college and it can feel hard seeing others, but I pray that God will continue to help me and all of us be strong and content being alone knowing that we actually are NEVER alone!
I like your Japan story. I went to Costa Rica 25 years ago and God kept using scripture over and over and circumstances to confirm it was him leading me. It made Ephesians 3:20 come alive to me! Lord Bless you and your wonderful teaching and sharing your experience in the faith. 🤠
When I saw the title I started crying, because I’m the only girl in my class, and I don’t know how to make friends...but God uses this channel at specific time in my life to guide me. So keep it up ❤❤❤❤ I love your videos ✝️💛✨
This video is so helpful to me. I'm heading off to college this fall and it will be the first time that I'll be totally on my own. A few months back I visited the campus with several other people who were considering attending this colege and they gave us a tour and let us stay a night in the dorms. I had no real friends and so it felt incredibly lonely to spend that evening and night by myself. The next day I expressed these frustrations to my mom, who was extremely encouraging. She pointed out how easily I had made friends at church and at work, and how this would be no different. Even if it might take more time to adjust. She also pointed out how my older sister who also attended this college made tons of good friends and even found her husband during her time there. Her words and this video have given me lots of reassurance in entering this new chapter of my life. Keep doing God's work!
I have been feeling lonely, and I kept asking myself if it was okay to want someone else's comfort other than God because I knew He is always there for me, but I still wanted someone else's comfort. I realized that it is okay to be or feel alone and that during those times, I do not need anyone else other than God. Furthermore, I also learned that I need to make friends who will be there for me when I require them the most. Most importantly, I learned that God was teaching me that being alone means more time with Him and that I should grow on that, looking at it in a positive way instead of a negative way.
This time it wasn’t for me It was my Kid Bro He really needed these words Thank You for the Work of God done through you and I pray the Lord Engraces you for more❤❤❤
Yes feeling very lonely just lost my mother November 21 2023 so the depression is HEAVY but what is helping is i KNOW she made it to HEAVEN and I will see her again so THANK YOU FATHER. Peace and GOD Bless You ALL.
Thats most important! Good on you for recognizing that youll see your mother again because she believed in our Lord Jesus.. i wish i could say the same
Last week I left my church because it was very toxic. It was legalistic and the Pastors were abusing their power to force me to follow manmade rules. Now that I left I feel so lonely because the people from that church no longer speak to me.
I doubt that church EVER told you this verse (Matthew 18:20, NKJV): "For where two or three (I typically say 'more' instead of three but the point remains) are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Church, meaning fellowship? Can be ANYWHERE! It doesn't have to be a building with walls and ceiling and lights and graven images (oh wait, some may get offended by that one, but I will speak the truth in regards to this, especially since it involves the 10 Commandments), Jesus is saying here (this was dealing with a sinning brother (or sister), if you look back to verse 15 through 19), church doesn't have to be a physical building. You can have say a weekly day set aside to worship, pray, read and study the Word, spend time outside if you don't mind the weather conditions, and... so forth. If you look in Romans 1, when looking outside, you can see the very genius of God in creation: the clouds, the sky, the sea, the cosmos, those distant stars, the sun, the creatures on the earth, the creatures in the air, the creatures in the sea, and... so forth! I hope this message helped! God bless!
This is the video that I just needed because at school I feel so lonely because I feel like not EVERYONE is for me. I pray to God that it's possible to get more friends like me. But now that I've seen this video I learned a lot! Thank you and God bless you!
The fact that this video showed up after few hour's of me telling him that I'm Lonely 😭 God is good man ,he is amazing and i asked him if i should go on Prayer walks and the fact that on this video its suggested I'm like Lord you are so Great 😭😂Man I Love him so much ❤
I wish I had seen this video sooner! because a few days ago, loneliness made me seek this “comfort” to the point of distancing myself from God. but thank God he got me back ❤️❤️
Hey...I hope this meets you well, there would be a next time loneliness would come don't forget to get your comfort in the word of God and you can also speak to God, he always listens
@@estherk6162 Hi Esther,thank you for your message! It reminds me that I have to read God's word (and I'm having trouble doing it lately) I think that if God allows these times of solitude it's so that I can come to him. Thank you again, God bless you ❤️
@@lastetoise504 You are welcome. Just know that you are not alone in this struggle. No matter how down you are feeling per time, reading the bible at such times feels like a warm blanket but you must first overcome how you feel and read it.
Im feeling really down because of financial reasons. Im a devout Christian but sometimes i feel like i just couldn’t catch a break. I always pray. I always talk to him. I know he is leading me to the right path. I really need this. Thank you for this video.
Two years ago when my mom died, my boyfriend broke up with me and my prayer partner was transferred to another state, I felt alone but God connected me with my sisters we grieved together and became on fire for God together. Though we are polar opposites we are always there to help each other when either is weak.
What i love about God and i heard this in my youth group is "The God we serve isn't focused on what's going to happen, but what your going through." God will be with us through th pain and he knows hot it end but we have to trust God in every part of our life.
I have a saying..."I may feel lonely at times but I am never alone because God is always with me." Thanks for this video which I can share with those I know.
I know that God created me to be different,but sometimes I just feel alone , like people always eem to misunderstand me and I always find myself explaining myself. It seems like I don't have any friends I can actually discuss with, I'm only 19, but I want God to bring the right person into my life, it seems like it will never happen, and like every friend I do make end up not being meant to be in my life. It's lonely and painful being different, and especially when no one tries to understand you, especially family. I just pray God changes my way of thinking and brings the right people in my life bc sometimes I just feel trapped. I'm also in college online, and I don't have the resources to go out at the moment.....Also it's hard for me to connect with christians becuase where I live at there are none around my age , as well as the church we go to treats us as outsiders,but this video really helps!
i feel the exact same way, i pray things change for the both of us, and that we all find the right people in our lives that are actually in tune with us.
I’m taking 19 credit hours this college semester and picking a job and I have felt so isolated and lonely recently. I was literally praying to Him today about loneliness and this pops up. Praying for my generation of young people to turn to Him rather than to the world!
Im actually so blessed to have run into this video because im in a stage where im lonely in the sense that i want friends that desire spiritual growth. So this is a bit comforting ☺
Thank you for making this video. I've also traveled abroad and I felt extremely lonely and I'm going through a time now where I seem like everybody walked away at once and I feel extremely lonely.
I’ve been feeling sorry for myself lately for not being confident like my peers when it comes to, even simple, conversations: I often get overwhelmed and experience a similar sensation to one suffering from stage fright: I either clam up, over share or I can’t (promptly) recall a key word that is needed in order to convey my thoughts properly, resulting in my pausing a little too long, losing the person’s interest in the process. I feel this is the main flaw keeping me trapped in loneliness. Let’s be brutally honest, not many have the patience to be with a person who can’t communicate that well. The story of Moses gives me hope though; He was also slow of speech and tongue and God chose him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Even if I never overcome this, I’m still loved and truly listened to by Jesus who will never lose interest in me. Praise him for that! Also, this took me an hour to write. 😅 Btw: loved your art. Made me laugh and kept me engaged in your important message. ❤
Living in Utah, over 60% of the population is LDS. I feel lonely very often because of this. I have my church, but, they're all in their retirement years; I'm in my early 20's. Connecting with any of them is difficult. My family has all abandoned Christianity in favor of paganism and Wicca nonsense. To say I feel alone is an understatement! I take solice in the fact that I know a few other Christians and Christian ministries, so at least I'm not entirely alone, even if most of the time I am.
I will pray now for you!! May God strengthen your heart! I can only imagine how difficult it could be for you to be in that place! But may God give you all the strength and courage and also may God bring into your life faithful, true, Christian friends who pursue God! Keep believing and thanks God in Utah there is a faithful Christian!
This is a great video! But the problem is that I have a disability that people don’t understand, and other people around me would just not understand or find me weird. Thankfully I have a twin brother that has the same disability. BUT I will believe the Lord has more people like me and my twin brother
I can't believe this, I've felt very lonely today, I have winter break and I had no friends to meet with, I cried and I turn on youtube and see this video. I have no idea how it works, I'm really grateful for this video. God bless y'all.
I was depressed and lonely after my heart was broken, I found god, and one of my friends led me closer to him. Now I'm a SDA, and I don't don't feel lonely anymore, I met more people with the same interests, and I got a lot of friends
I’ve been alone for so long. I finally learnt to be happy alone at 33/34, then I prayed for friends that would be like family and met so many people that year who I felt so comfortable with and accepted by and happy around.. then God took them away. I’m 35 now and I’m alone again, but I have my dog who is my world and is 14🥰 but I feel so deprived of human company again and it’s destroying me mentally and emotionally. If God wants us to have human companions why has He made my life so unbearably lonely?😣
I understand how you feel 😌 But after watching this, I took notes , a to-do list, so I can take action and fix this issue. Faith without works is dead. I got to do my part and not expect God to be instacart on this one❤
Maybe it's God's timing or God wants you to take action. Like try getting out more that might be the action you have to take. Just an example though, God bless you
Could you please do a video on the Sabbath-how to rest, how to not be anxious, should we serve during sabbath, how to not think about school or work, how can we rest (like the video you thankfully did on being burnt out)- I’m really struggling to rest, truly rest, I live in Italy and I go to high school and it’s very stressing, I feel as if I can ever rest, I’m pressured by my teachers and my classmates always and my parents work everyday from home-I just feel as if it’s impossible to rest. I tried going shopping, being in nature, sleeping, watching movies, spending time in prayer outside but I can’t fully rest. I feel as if the only time I have rested in my life has been on holidays-that is, REALLY FAR from my classmates and school. I have been praying for months that the Lord help me to rest or learn how to rest-even in faith in Jesus-but still I’m anxious and I KNOW that WHATEVER I TRY it’s NOT GOING TO WORK. I approach my weekends with anxiety knowing that my attempts will only burn me out. Please pray for me for God’s Grace to help me rest for His Glory-I can’t go on like this anymore.
I literally had the same request in mind for a sabbath video! I Know its is very hard and stressful time to time and I need help to know how to do it correctly focusing on Jesus and not my problems
OBVIOUSLY god is not answering your prayers, because he does not exist. There is no god to give you anything. You have been duped, lied to and fooled into becoming the next generation of people who give money to preachers. Here is my religion story and why I am not a believer, and why I feel it is my duty to inform people, especially children, about the truth of what they are being lied to about. I could tell you that I am not a believer because my step father, my step brother and my older brother are/were ministers and so when I was being groomed that I rebelled, but nope, I was compliant. I could explain that I was groomed to be a minister and so when I was fourteen, I decided that if I was going to be telling people about what is in the Bible, I should read the entire thing, or I might get things wrong. I was taught that the Bible was the "Word of God" and so if it was truly the Word of God, I wanted to know what that word said! So at 14, I started reading a chapter or two of the Bible as often as I could, until I had read the entire thing. I stopped believing EVERYTHING by the time I got to Deuteronomy. But, I continued through to Revelation by the time I was seventeen. Then I visited various churches, Baptist, Episcopalian, Mormon, Catholic, Hebrew, etc. I spoke to priests, ministers, brothers, monks, orthodox and non orthodox Rabi. I studied the HISTORY of the bible. I discovered there were, at that time, in the 1970s over 350 different versions of the bible and 28,000 denominations of cults of Catholicism called Protestant. Today those numbers are over 400 versions of books called The Bible or Holy Word of God, and over 40,000 registered cults calling themselves Christian. I did not believe from my earliest memories, because when I was three, (before I can remember hardly anything) my mother punctured my ear drum with a hair pin, trying to clean the wax out! I am from a LARGE family, and I am one of the youngest. My ear was infected, painful, and occasionally popped the cap on the eardrum and would bleed until I was about ten or eleven. The pain was unbearable, and I can remember many nights crying from the pain. My mother, a true believer, did not take me to the doctor, but instead would call the minister over to pray for me (my future step father) and he would stop praying and ask me if it felt better, and me being raised to always tell the truth, I said NO. So, the idiot would call a bunch of people from the church over to our house, to build a prayer circle around me. They would all say a very solemn prayer over me, I want you to realize this started when I was three, but mostly I remember it from when I was six to ten years old, after that I quit telling my mother I was sick or in pain. So, here they had a four, five, six, seven year old child who was in tremendous pain, and their solution was to pray. When they would ask me if I was feeling better after all of their hard efforts on my behalf, I would of course start by telling them the truth, NO, so the idiots, praying for a child with an ear ache, that is bleeding, and infected and that spread to my throat, and sinuses, would decide that since I was saying no, they must not be praying hard enough, or loud enough. So they begin praying again, only louder, and shouting to their god to "Help deliver this child from the demons of pain." Let me tell you, going to sleep with your ear throbbing with every single heartbeat is terrible for a child. Because it was my eardrum, it was very sensitive to my blood pressure, which goes up with pain, which causes more WHOOSH, WHOOSH sounds in my ear which would not stop. As I am sure you can imagine, I had nightmares from that sound, paired with the suggestions of demons causing my pain, I can remember quite vividly the nightmares I had of demons coming at me from the church. So, they would pray harder and louder as if their god was hard of hearing, but I wasn't, my ear was in pain, and any sound was painful, and the extended yelling, lamenting and crying to god would cause me so much discomfort that I was forced to learn to lie and tell the idiots what they wanted to hear, that yes, I felt better, now, can I go lie down and shut out all the external noise I can, and simply suffer listening to the WHOOSH WHOOSH of my own heart? When it came time, when I was six, to get vaccinated for polio, rubella, mumps, etc. for school, that I started feeling sick. My little sister was also sick, so my mother took us to the doctor. I had to use the restroom, and when I came back, my mother asked me if I had flushed the toilet, and I admitted that I had not, I started to go back, but the nurse said she would take care of it. But instead, she came back with a worried look on her face. My urine had blood in it. I was hospitalized with the mumps, measles, valley fever, an ear infection, kidney infection and they discovered I had a heart murmur. So, as you can see, I have had the ineffectiveness of prayer demonstrated to me again and again and again. Because I would eventually LIE and say ENOUGH! My mother got the idea that her prayers were effective. And me being a child could never have convinced her that her god did not exist and certainly did not heal me in any way, shape, or form. You would think that the repeated sessions would have told her that it wasn't working at all. I suppose if it hadn't been that the pain was so severe and never went away, is what kept me from being brainwashed into belief. If my issues had been stubbed toes, or blisters, headaches, things that clear up naturally within days if not hours, the kind of things that people BELIEVE god can affect, then I might too have fallen for the lies and fallacies. Lost limbs, severe birth defects, severe injuries that are life changing are beyond your or any god's abilities. It has been over sixty years, and my ear still bothers me. When my blood pressure goes up, so does the pain in my eardrum. I am about 70% deaf in that ear, which causes me to SPEAK VERY LOUDLY without realizing, this has been all my life. I am known as LOUD, because it affects my hearing my own voice. BUT, that was not enough to stop me from looking for god, any god, I was not done, I went to libraries, churches, etc. to find out where the bible came from, who wrote it, who decided what, when, where, why and how. I discovered (in the 1970s) that the oldest proven copies of any of the books from the New Testament was from 150 years after Jesus supposedly lived. I found out that the Catholic Church invented the New Testament in 400 AD. Yes, some of the works existed in one form and others prior to that, but there is NOTHING from the time of Jesus himself that validated even ONE story from the New Testament. Also, the fact that the four gospels are so different from each other was preposterous so I rejected all of the New Testament as simply false.
This was also when I learned that the CURRENT BIBLE used to be three separate works. The Holy Torah, The NOT HOLY Hebrew Bible, and The NOT HOLY New Testament. It was Gutenberg who first printed the Catholic Bible, but it is certainly NOT the same bible you read today. Over the last 500 years, since the invention of the printing press, the bible has evolved. Books added and removed depending on who was the MAN OF GOD at the moment. Then the protestant cults started printing their own bibles, saying what THEY wanted them to say. I found out there were not only different versions of The Bible, but that there were HUNDREDS of versions, some no longer printed, but they still existed and called themselves The Holy Word of God. I then studied the History of the Old Testament, when the books originated, etc. Through my search, I discovered that humans have been recording history for almost 6000 years. That we have MILLIONS of books from that long ago, all the way up to when the FIRST Torah was written. Those books are ceramic, stone, clay and wax, but we still have them to this day. Ceramics were used for books all the way up to 100 BC, so parchment didn't replace the old ways immediately, it took time. In 478 BC. The Hebrew people noticed that great dynasties were being built around them, and people were building cities, with PILLARS and BUILDINGS of BRICK and STONE, and they were writing languages in stone, wax, clay and even Papyrus, and the newest invention, PARCHMENT. They realized that they were a splintering race, with no true HISTORY. So, to preserve their heritage, 40 Rabi from the scattered Hebrew Tribes, got together to initiate the Language of God, and The First Torah using the new technology of PARCHMENT and INK (Ink had been used for almost 1000 years on Papyrus, but despite your god's people leaving Egypt, where papyrus was so valuable it was not exported, not a one of them decided to take any Papyrus with them during the Exodus, despite it being one of the most valuable things around.) Because until then, all their stories had been handed down by word of mouth, each tribe had found ways to make their tribe more important than the other tribes within their verbal traditions. So, when they all told their versions of the stories handed down from shaman to shaman, uh, excuse me, from Rabi to Rabi, the stories were all DIFFERENT. AND, getting 40 Rabi to agree on anything would have been miraculous indeed! But, they didn’t, which is why you have different versions of the same story told with different details in the Torah just pages from the same story with different details. SOME RABI are very stubborn, so they compromised and used both or sometimes three versions. It is there in your bible, all you have to do is actually read it like a book, and not CHERRY PICK what you want to believe. Nine months later, they had produced the 22 characters of the Hebrew Language and the first copy of The Holy Word of God, The Torah. That language, does not have any vowels. But, they used variants of 5 letters to use emphasis. Their letters are also their numbers, which is where Gematria comes from. The TORAH was first written in 478 BC. When the 40 Rabi who sat and wrote out for the first time the HOLY LANGUAGE and WORD OF GOD and they set to Velum the words, it just so happened to have occurred just 22 years AFTER the invention of Parchment (Velum is parchment made from 6 week old sheep, so the skin is white and blemish free) You see as nomads they couldn't carry around the most common medium for writing for the prior 3000 years (clay, wax, or ceramic tablets) because they were heavy and cumbersome and often fragile if not made properly (10 commandments). So when parchment was invented it was time for the creator of all to finally have his story told. There were already 3000 years of gods and such having been written about, but the Hebrews had only existed for about 500-700 years at that point, so they hadn't yet written anything. So, anyway, they also set up the process for copying a Torah (God's Holy Word) IT is something like this. A child is groomed to become a Rabi, his parents follow god's law and sacrifice their child's life and future to becoming a Rabi. He has to spend years learning to write the letters of God. But, there is a catch, it is not allowed to make a FALSE copy of The Word of God, so they have to spend years learning to draw the letters using utensils which prevent the touching of the surface of the scroll, because it is by that point already considered HOLY. The acolyte spends years copying the Hebrew Bible, which is the stories of the Hebrew People, the books Joshua through Malachi, THESE books are NOT HOLY so they can be copied without concern, many many copies were made, and some of them have mistakes, but the TORAH is different. They learn to make the Holy Pointer that is used once the Scriptures are Complete, a Holy Pointing Hand of pure gold. A writing Brace, a stick with a gold ball on the bottom, so they can brace their hands without touching the HOLY SCROLL. The Holy Stylus that is made from specific wood and tipped with gold. The Holy Ink, made with Holy Ingredients, Lead, Holy Water, Soot from the alter, etc. and Blessed once completed. The Holy Covering for The Torah is also completed. The Torah is NEVER to be touched by human hands once the scroll is blessed to accept the Holy Word of God. Once the acolyte reaches about the age of 30 or so and have mastered being a scribe, they begin to prepare their own Torah. The skins must be prepared by hand, no mistakes, 54 sheets of perfect velum to accept the Holy Word of God, stitched with HOLY STITCHING and HOLY GLUE into a single scroll of exacting length. They then present the scroll to their Rabi, who must check every page and confirm it is Perfect, that Rabi MUST pass the scroll to at least three other Rabi to have them also approve and then BLESS the scroll to accept the Holy Word of God. The acolyte then carefully copies his Rabi's Torah. Each letter laid perfectly without error, not only looking the same but being placed in the exact same location on the new scroll as on the old scroll. Once he has completed copying the Books of Moses, or The Holy Word of God, he presents the Torah to his Rabi, who checks and confirms that every letter is perfect and in the perfect spot. Once he blesses it, it is passed on to at least THREE more Rabi and up to 30 Rabi, each of which COULD decline the scroll, if it has an error, or a blemish, a fingerprint, too thin a spot, too thick a spot, etc. Once the consecration process is begun, the scroll MUST NEVER BE HANDLED DIRECTLY, because it is holy. Once the acolyte gets his Torah back with the blessings of at least three Rabi who are not his mentor, he must then painstakingly re-layer each letter exactly on top of the letters he placed before, making the ink thicker. Every letter of the Word of God placed on top of the prior writing, NO MISTAKES ARE ALLOWED. Should a scroll become soiled or corrupted during the process, it must be burned and the process started all over, THERE CAN BE NO MISTAKES IN THE HOLY WORD OF GOD. Once he has laid it down for a second time, the acolyte presents his Torah for inspection, again no less than 3 and up to 30 Rabi read, approve and bless the scroll. This process is repeated a total of 13 times. Every letter layered, perfectly upon the other, and upon consecration of the scroll on the 13th pass, it becomes a Holy Torah, and the acolyte becomes a Rabi. The Rabi is often well into his forties by this point. The Torah is also supposed to be burned with the body of the Rabi upon his death. That is why so FEW Torah's have ever been found, but many copies of The Bible (Joshua through Malachi) have been found. The Hebrews (Orthodox) claim they have been doing this with The Holy Word of God now for 2500 years, but when that same god sent his son to Earth, he failed to have a single person record ANYTHING about his life while he was alive, leaving it to be written down no less than thirty years after he supposedly died, and as far beyond that date as to be 300 years before the information could be recorded. Mankind began writing almost 6000 years ago, using clay, wax, and stone, and in all that time up until 478 BC, there was no record of the god of the Jews. (well, there was a god called YHWH who was a minor god of metallurgy to the Canaanites a couple of hundred years before the Hebrews moved into their territory, but that couldn't be YOUR YHWH, right? It was mentioned by a Persian king who was recording the victory over the worshipers of YHWH) HISTORY proves the fallacies, as does the modern Bibles themselves. You cannot easily get to truth by relying on fallacies and fantasies. NOW, In REALITY, we have the Steele of Hammurabi and it is proven to have been carved by humans 1100 years BEFORE the first Hebrew called himself a Hebrew. But, when God himself decided to carve the ten commandments into stone tablets, they lasted less than one month! HUMAN written laws still exist to this day, but those written by the creator of everything were simply smashed when Moses had a fit! LOL! Does that make sense to ANYONE that a GOD, THE GOD, could carve something and it be so easily destroyed? I mean it works if you believe that god is EVIL, and intended for his laws to be destroyed, and then rewritten, slightly differently, and kills billions, sends plagues on ALL PEOPLE instead of just the one who is doing wrong, but then that one is only doing wrong because God hardened his heart, so where is the SOURCE of the EVIL? Yahweh! Plain and simple. If you READ the Torah, or even one of the over 400 versions of the Protestant bibles, you will see that Yahweh is the most Childish, Stupid, Incompetent, Immoral and EVIL god there ever was.
@@tiredofliars I encourage you to study more from reputable sources. The New Testament Scriptures were quoted so much as scripture by the next generation after the apostles, that we find the entire NT in their letters. In regards to the OT, one rule from Deut is that what is said has to 100% agree with what God gave before. One good source is Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell. God bless you. May u have an open heart to Him and to His Word!🙂
This is a great video. The feelings of loneliness can be difficult, you can even feel lonely while surrounded by others. There is one tip that wasn't mentioned that is most vital of all when you are feeling lonely, and that is to share these feelings with Father God directly. You can even write to Him how you feel. You must remember as a child of God, you have direct communion with the Father and you do not need a mediator any longer due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Who can be with you 24/7 and understand you completely all the time? There is none like our Father God. There were many times I felt deep loneliness in my life, and I cried out to God and received His comfort and peace. That doesn't mean you will never feel lonely again but you have support from Almighty God who is always with you.
Let's go your first live stream! This is going to be awesome! 😁✊️ For a side note, i've been dealing with loneliness for a little over a year. It comes and goes in the form of a burning sensation in my chest. There were times when I was walking in the woods in my backyard. Doing my daily prayer walk. I fall down on my knees and pray cause the pain is so intense i don't know what to do with it. The best thing I can come up with is to use these intense negative emotions as a fuel to pursue my goals that I feel are right in front of me. But every time, I try to reach out and grab one of these goals, they seem to Inch a little farther out of my reach. Though It doesn't make it any less painful...😥
What if I don’t trust other Christians? I’ve been hurt and let down by every single one I’ve ever met, every single one has abandoned me when they see just how much I need someone. When they see how much I need somebody I can talk to and not be left alone with all my pain. Almost makes me think God wants me to stay alone. And I know I make that assumption out of pain but it’s the only thing I got to work with. Kinda why I’ve been praying for Him to take my life already, I’m a failure who can’t escape my habitual sin and can’t let go of this pain and the pain of loneliness just adds to it. I don’t trust other Christians but refuse to run to some other religion that’s false. Muslims have been open to talking to me and spending time with me, but I refuse to be lured into a false religion when I know the truth. Not just the Catholic Church has hurt me but literally every Christian I’ve ever met has let me down when they see how hurt I am and how much I need someone. Really wish I could seize to exist altogether. I’ve been praying for Him to take my life because I can’t stand how much of a failure I am to Him and how worthless and lonely I am. I don’t blame Him for my failures and wrongdoings, it’s all my fault. Knowing I can’t improve myself and continue to let Him down makes me wish I never existed. Right now I don’t see an end to it which is why I pray that He would end my life and I hope Jesus isn’t mad at me for wanting that.
I don't trust people at all. I have my family, but just like other humans, they will die eventually and leave me on this earth alone. Trust in God because we are all failures. We all fall short. God is not mocked though. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive ALL our sins. He is big enough - his sacrifice is big enough to handle ALL of your wrongdoings. A prayer that has helped me in the past is to pray for peace. Jesus loves you.
Please read psalm 139 Declare yourself 30 time a day How how "fearfully and wanderfully God has made you Psalm 139:14 #Because this is really who you are and is the truth... You will surely help you like yourself for who you are. When you like yourself...others will take notice you for who you really are... Believe what the scripture saying about you and confess that everyday... Something will shift....
This is especially helpful right now as I recently moved to another state for a job and had to leave my family and friends behind. I’m glad I got to see this video before my family heads back home and I’m left to continue my work here. Hoping to find some new friends and grow closer to God
Really needed this. Went to an event yesterday and saw how much lonely I am. Wherever I walk people were going away. Came home and cried to God. Today came home and opened yt and found this. I really need to spend more time outside and with God. Thank you for the encouragement.!
This came at a very convenient time. I spent some time last night thinking about what was making me feel so afflicted, and the major conclusion that I came to was that I was feeling lonely and unheard. Your points about how you may not be alone even if it feels like it, as well as understanding that creating a community will take work will stick with me. Thank you for the video. It's high quality, as always. 🧡
loneliness is probably the thing that has scared me the most, i feel like it’s something i don’t really show, nobody really knows (except my mom, she knows it all lol) and it has one the the greatest impact in my life. Thank your fl the video, God bless you! ❤
Thank you, I've been alone for the past few months even though I go to church and tried to connect with my fellow Christians. But I'm also glad that God eventually send the right people as months pass of prayers❤. This video really helped too, cause I learn it's okay to be alone and to sometimes feel lonely like Elijah did😊💜
I am happy because I have brother in faith like you. Thank you for sharing this. I thank God for what He had done to me, but there are times when I feel discouraged for no reason. I used to think that when you're a Christian, you shouldn't feel sad or lonely, that I should always be happy and positive. I honestly struggled with my faith because I thought that I have to be perfect for God to love me, I forgot that He first loved me.
This was an amazing video! ❤Even in my time of my isolation, I'm using it as an opportunity to get closer to the lord. Thanks for rollin' out with these every Saturday.
All of this is true but the fact is that not everyone likes being lonely,not even me,even now that im currently homeless and isolated by family and friends,its unbelievable how life turns around for anyone :'(
Hey! I was living outside on a warehouse loading dock 13 years ago. Now I've a home, a good income, a family, and great friends. It gets better man, just have to stick it out and better yourself any way you can, every day. Don't let the tragedies in your life, circumstances, or bad people hold you back from getting where you want to go.. You may not get there fast; but you will get there if you willingly enter into suffering and responsibility. It pays dividends in all areas. Best Wishes and kick some butt out there! -A Random Internet Person
This was such divine timing. I have been so depressed the past few days due to the weight of the loneliness I’ve been carrying. I understand what God is doing in my life, I just pray he will allow me to cross paths with the tribe Im meant to have to walk this walk with me when he believes the time is right.
do you have family around you? You can make godly friends. I pray hod leads you to godly and amazing people to become friends and family to you. Jesus loves loves you
@@awele529 I have just one sibling that lives about 45 mins from me. My parents live in another city. Thank you for your kind words. Amen and I trust that the Lord will deliver the companionships my heart desires. 💛
For a long time, I was very alone or surrounded by non-Christians and most of my friendships would fall apart. It all started almost a year ago when I went to my local church. Mom found they were doing a some Bible study Friday nights and because I wanted to make sure she wasn’t getting into another cult, I went with her. I found there was babysitting which I ended up volunteering for. Eventually I was volunteering every week I could and I met 2 girls I became acquaintances with. Eventually (about 7 or 8 months ago) they invited me to the youth group I now attend every week I can. Overtime I met friends there and 3 months ago I met the girl I’m looking to court (who I refer to as Lexi in my videos, not actually her real name). Point being it doesn’t all happen at once. But putting your faith in Christ will guide you.
Thank you for sharing this video, this is the sign that God is telling me to totally depend on Him for my last semester of my schooling. God bless you!
Thank you for this video. I really needed it, I only have one friend (other than Jesus and family of course) who I have been friends with for over a year. I just feel like any friend I make just leaves eventually, even in the church. And I don't know how to not be embarrassed to struggle, or to disagree with people I care about. This video really helps❤, and if anyone has advice about the other things I mentioned please you are welcome to share
Unfortunately, we are in a foreign country living. (due to unfortunate circumstances that inflicted us in our home country), different languages and culture and as for bible believing churches there are none here. They serve idols and the dead. As for the Christians I knew back home I'm the only one intentionally reaching out which makes me feel even more lonely.
Ive always been taught that as a man, no matter what happens from the death of a pet to the end of the world. Men should never feel grief sorrow or loneliness and no matter how hard it is to not feel these emotions it must be done as your failure in this task will falsify your masculinity and hence titles you as a gay person. I personally have had a life composed of studying, gym, and more gym. I have done nothing aside these things and due to the language barrier I couldnt make friends or even get close to others in the uni due to the lack of serious people. I only see this as god's test to my masculinity and my mental strength to keep going on this journey no matter what happens. Loneliness is just an excuse and man must move forward ignoring the lack of people and instead make friends with himself and his personal capability of improving and mastering skills that will make him great in the future.
its so hard to right the direction of your life positive attitude and a faithful spiritual path towards to God but i really build up my self to be a Good person and humble servant of the lord and suddenly i let my guard down and i said something to someone that makes them disappointed to me i just said that words because i feel so lonely just in one night my inner peace has been disturbed and now im really struggling to redeem my self for what I've done my study and positive routines has been affected and now i felt a pain in my chest and in my head i hope this feeling of mine will be better soon for what God prepared for me and i want to say to God and for the Lord Jesus that its really painful that i cant accept the fact that i made a mess for all those years that i changed my self to be a good person maybe this is the biggest turn point what God and Lord Jesus prepared for me to find the way to the better version of my self even it is painful for me to make a mistake and its my fault i thank God and Lord Jesus for all the love and patients that they Gave to me and i ask for them to forgive me thanks for sharing this powerful video you are one of the instrument of God to give hope to those really lost thank you
