The ship is heavy but light on water. We may carry the heavy burden on our shoulder, but Jesus is the force that let us float on the water of chaos and ease our burdens. Glory be to Jesus!
2nd day no cigarettes - working on many other addictions too, but life is good. The Lord is so good and so real to me now. I didn't realize during my addiction years he was their protecting me from stuff I wasn't even aware of. I am ready to be free from these chains of addiction!! 🙏
He protects us from so so much. And remember, our ways are not His ways.
That’s why it’s so important to allow God to transform your life. To die to yourself, take up your cross, and following Him means killing your flesh and showing you what real life is!
Give God everything. God will replace your ego with humility. He is the only one worthy of worship!
Don’t harden your heart towards Him.
This was encouraging to read. The only problem is that its so hard to kill your flesh and walk with your cross everyday, like what will be left after everything is gone i wanted and was.
Its scary
Didn't realize I needed to hear this, the dreams part really got to me.
I try, I try and let go and you say it like it’s so easy. I give it to Him EVERY DAY but it’s always there the next day ready to be surrendered again and I am EXHAUSTED. All the Christians I’ve listened to say the same thing and I’m sick and tired of not knowing HOW.
Luke 9:23 (NIV) - "Then he said to them all: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross DAILY and follow me."
I struggle with this too.
I believe it's a process. Keep giving it to Him and on your own part, do your best to live by his commands. With time and God's grace, you will start overcoming. We grow by failing upwards.
ask to love god more. ask him to stregnten your faith. ask him to give you more strength and to believe that he has relieved you of your habit that you are sturggling with. I am struggling as well. I have felt prideful and almost as if i'd conquered lust, and then the enemy wins against me at my weakest point.
that was beautiful! I've given up so much, sadly some was because I had to but some was because I met him in my time of need and let go of so much of my dreams that I wanted to achieve in my life, when my life turned upside down it was such a big wake up call to who really is important and I found that to be God.
Im struggling to give up some areas of my life but this is giving me the confidence to trust God. Thanks for this video.
This is one hard truth. God envies our devotion and He will smash any idol we create. I pray God softens our hearts, so that in Him we find our all. Great video, God is clearly using you and your ministry. Blessings
I can relate to all the points. This is where I am at in my life now. At a crossroad, I am slowly giving up on my self and I hope I'll be ready to give into God.
Very encouraging. Thankful to our great God for you and your ministry, brother. Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.
I deal with this a lot because It felt like putting up a facade a lot as a Christian especially at Church and at my Young Adults Bible Study until I had to admit as a start I need to stop thinking negative thoughts on people's words and actions. Its not the real me and the real me would never do that. Its what made me stop friendships from working out and I didn't know how to deal with it but I realized as a Christian I need to love on other people and I'm not perfect. I'm saying this with being genuine and humility and that's what I desire to be transformed from God. I'm not sure where my future is but that's what I have to go to God about. He knows my future and my desire currently is to really read my Bible again not because it's some chore or to look good but I want to know more and it's my defense and comfort.
Recently I've been struggling to trust God because of all the negatives that have happened after trusting him. I struggle to believe that he has my best interest at heart. Even in the phrase 'there's purpose in the pain', I wonder; is there really or does he just not care enough to do something about it. and ofc I feel so much shame saying this, I feel like I'm in a dark hole with no escape and I feel bad that God has to deal with someone like me. Even if things got better Idk what the point is anymore. I really feel when Job said he curses the day he was born
He is bringing you to peace, you might be in a season of storms, but he is there with you in it all 🩵
The conviction is strong with this video, especially the talk about letting go of your grip on your dreams. I've heard it before in the past and was left confused, because how is someone supposed to let go of their future? It's impossible to actually let go, because we'll inevitably think of our futures just as we move throughout life. But the way it's articulated here made it finally click - we have to let go of *clinging to our dreams*, and idolizing them as a way to finally have peace and be fulfilled. God, in whatever situation, good or bad, has to be our fulfillment and happiness as a constant. My brain is boggled in a good way! Thanks so much for this video 🕺❤️
Thank you for this video I needed to hear this. I've been single for a year and a half now and feeling like "maybe I'm ready for a relationship now" but this video helped me to realize me that constantly being worried about how things are going with this girl or that girl is not what it looks like to be content in your singleness and this video showed me that I just wanted that because it would maybe give my identity some foundation but that is not in God's power so it is in my power and that is not for me. Thank you for your wisdom, I pray to be as strong of a man as you are.
Let go. Surrender. Let Abba Father change you❣️🥹🤲♥️
I deeply needed this of my gosh
I needed to hear this.
Perfect timing,i really needed that, thanks, may the God bles you
I think this is my favorite vid I've ever watched from you to be honest. So convicting yet loving!
Isaac, I must say what a blessing you are to this generation... You do speak the right things and at the same time you are broken and do it with grace. Slowly gaining confidence to live this Christian life here on Earth and your videos help me do that every day. A huge thank you Isaac. Great will be your reward in Heaven brother... Love from India.
I understand these steps, but with how the world is going its hard for me to give up my ambitions, yes were told this world will pass away but at the same time I want to raise a family and be wealthy so I retire my mother and family too, but I also dont want to live with the possibility of being sent to war for whatever reason, I dont believe Jesus died for us only for us to kill eachother over interests or nationalities.
I appreciate you so much dude
Much love bro!!
@@DailyDiscipleHey Isaac, just thought I'd let you know, first of all you're awesome and have been such a wonderful influence on me, and second, the videos title needs to be corrected, it's missing the word "What" and you need to remove one of the tos
Hey man, awesome video. Just a heads up, seems like there’s a typo in the title.
Great teaching Isaac. Thank you
Can you make a more in depth video on the point of crushed dreams and the letting go of that?
There are a few areas in my life this could be referring to. The one that scares me is the financial one as I have been saving up for years now for a house and idk if I could just give up all the money that I have. I know that it is for serving a purpose which is a down payment but the thought of letting it go is kinda scary. Then the other road is the career one. For years now I have wanted a certain job that I have always wanted to do. I have wondered if I ever will get it and have told God in the past that I give it up for him or something like that. But I still long for it and dream about having it and even applied for it again. It may be something so minor in this world but it was something that I always wanted to do.
Title has a "to" that isn't supposed to be there. Love the vids bro.
for the People that say If I just had enough money I'd donate it.I guarantee You anyone that doesn't alredy donate with what he/she has she/he wouldn't donate no matter how much money he/she has (this only is true for those that have an income)
It was very hard to listen to this and make it to the end of the video. I'm struggling and find myself always resisting God and to let go and trust Him in everything. Things are going according to His will but I am walking this out with so much anxiety and it is so tiring.
God will never forsake you
Great video!! I needed to hear this today! Thanks brother!!
I know God wants us to long for Him most and find peace in Him but then why doesn’t He answer my cries and prayers for His peace???? Where is He then??????
He takes away my ability to have children and then just disappears and I’m just left with guilt for even wanting it! How exhausting it all is!!
He doesn't always answer our prayers, but seek him in private and pray. He will honor your obedience. Even if it takes awhile, he is working behind the scenes. He has a plan for you, so strengthen your relationship with him. That's why he usually takes things away from us, to protect us. 🩵
I needed this! Thanks you man!
Issac doesn’t explain what’s happens when you work to give up everything for God- all sins, family, friends, possessions, desires, dreams - to the point that you have no idea what could possibly be left - and you still don’t hear him or feel him at all 😢😢😢
It's difficult to believe you've given up ALL sins and desires. I'm not saying you haven't tried and put effort, but maybe you should let go of the idea of being an outwardly good Christian and focus more on your true feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Sometimes these feelings are masked, so you have to think deeply. Do your thoughts hint at jealousy, wrath, etc?
@@fizz_bit Are you saying that giving up all sins and desires is impossible? If so, that seems to go counter to Issac's video. Have YOU? If you and plenty of other Christians claim to, why do you doubt me when I say I have? Yes, it's possible that there are desires contrary to God's will still lurking deep in my concious and I haven't identified it yet. But I can confidently say, yes, I have given up all sins and desires to the best of my knowledge. Do I still struggle with them? Of course, but the point is I don't let them control me. The desire to feel God and know him still sits there vacant, and I have no relationship with him as a result. To answer your second question, no, I don't think my thoughts hint at jealousy and wrath. Sometimes they rarely do, but I know when to recognize it. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong to feel him :(
@@breesty4229 call him and he will answer
It’s not that it was Peters dream, it’s that it was prophesy. Christ was to come and bring the kingdom, Peter knew this.
What Peter did not know was
1. CHRIST had to die first
2. He did not know Gods secrete (revealed to Paul) that Israel would reject the Holy Ghost (acts 7) and the kingdom would not come (yet)
Thank you for this.
4:51
Interesting.
9:35
Surrender.
12:16
Salvation.
Just casually dropped 🔥video
Thanks man
Yeah he didn’t want to follow Jesus which required everyone to sell everything they had and follow him
I was happier before I was a Christian. Now, I am hopeless.
Felt the same. But the reason I continued is every time I wanted to give up God spoke to me to push through. There is surely hope and joy but they belong to God's will for our life over our own ambitions. That made me an unhappy follower of Christ.God never met my expectations in the way He did things but He fulfilled His promises though. I feel like I have no choice but to continue and give up my agenda. I will walk and see what He will do in a few more years though. As the word says "taste and see that the LORD is good".
Blessed are ye who weep now, for you will laugh
Title is confusing
can i give up God to know God
ah yes, the title. "You must to give up to know God" 💀 i don't think that englishes right 😭
Guys the only way to heaven is believing! You can’t get to heaven by getting baptized, going to church, reading the bible, praying, being in assembly fellowship, trying to follow all the commandments to the best of you ability, or anything else! You can’t get yourself to heaven. If we could get to heaven by our own works, Christ would never have had to die. The only way to heaven is to believe that Jesus died on the cross for you! He payed for all your sin! Believe he died for you, accept that he took all you sin, and you can be sure you will be in heaven. Many people think things like baptism, etc will get them to heaven. This isn’t the case, the bible says, that he that believeth on the son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not shall not see life but the wrath of god abideth on him. Go to John 3:16, John 3:36, Roman’s 5:6-7, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 19:30

Congratulations! I know that addiction but have been free for more than a decade. Keep fighting the good fight.
@@ari0623 I think you got the wrong comment bud
Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah- the Son of the living God. He is the One through whom we obtain eternal salvation from sin and death by His blood shed on the cross and His resurrection from the dead, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. And this Man whom God raised from the dead, He has also exalted as Lord over all to be testified of as the One by which He will judge the world in righteousness on the day He has appointed. And now He commands all men everywhere to repent and believe the testimony given of His Son for the remission of sins.
Acts 16:30-31 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Why the actual heck do I relate to this man SO much…I feel like God specifically brought this man to my recommended page, to help me grow closer to him in a RUclipsr I trust and can actually relate to. Thank you Jesus.
Sorry, I just clicked on this video to ask about something. Don't worry, I'll watch the video after.
I just got off the phone with my mom. She claims to be a Christian, yet she is so infuriatingly narcissistic! She's always pressuring me to get baptized, and I do want to get baptized. But the way she pressures me, taints the meaning behind it, I would feel I'm gonna be baptized for her, and not for God or me.
I tell her I'd want to do it, because I chose to, and not cause I was pressured to, and she says "Well, tell it to the judge when you stand before Him".
It's like she's so confident that I'm gonna die before trying to get baptized.
She's always so confident that we (her children) think she's crazy and are against her because she's a Christian and believes in God. I am Christian (at least I try to be), but she never tries to see that.
So, if I finally get a chance to be baptized, should I invite her? Most likely she's gonna parade around telling everyone it's all thanks to her, and not God or me as an adult making the decision. Or should I do this on my own?
And I just needed to rant. Cause looking for advice on this on Google is pretty much nonexistent.
I believe baptism is a rebirth into the holy family. This is why Christians must be baptized; to become a "little Christ" you must be adopted as a child of God the Father, which makes you Christ's sibling.
My point is, if you get baptized, it's not just for God and yourself, but also for your mother and everyone else in the universal church, since we come together as a spiritual family.
Yes, I think you should invite your mother to your baptism. I apologize if this sounds harsh, but what she thinks and how she acts falls on her, not you. This can be difficult, but you need to pray for your mother (which you may already do), especially if you think she's aggravating, self-righteous and self-absorbed. Moreover I think inviting her is a way of keeping ties with her instead of risking severing them.
Love Christ, hate your family. That means in your case: if His love compelles you to go into the water:go and let your mother be your mother whatever comes out of her mouth good or bad. If she is comming to your baptism it should be to see christs resurection in you. If she comes for other reasons, than thats on her and for her to find out the foily of those reasons and repent. You can not make her repent, nor is it your job to talk reason into her. I know it will be hard to bite your tongue, and dont worry if you cant. But do what you know you have to do.
You must to give up to know spelling words good.
You’re the one who truly is hateful. Making fun of us, and taunting us. Does it make you feel good to put us down? You think it’s ok to bully a Christian merely expressing their faith?
Because of what may have happened to you, we all have to suffer and be verbally abused. I made a full on explanation, and you only made a taunting comment. You only want us to listen to you, but you don’t listen to us.
You’re really not that great of a person.
The problem for me is Christianity does nothing for me. I do not experience God in any good way. I am just waiting to die and not go to hell. I am relieved, but that does not bring me joy.
I am sorry to hear that your not finding joy in this life bro.
When you say Christianity isn't doing it for you? Could you tell me abit more about that?
@@spellhalegamer2051 how do I explain nothing? I do not experience God in any good way. He only brings pain and torment. I do not see or hear Him. He seems uncaring and unloving. I was happier before I was a Christian. I thought sometimes it might go my way. It has left me hopeless.
@@kevinstreeter6943 Your feeling hopeless due to not experiencing God in a positive way? I can understand that.
Has it always been like this?
@@spellhalegamer2051 Yes, but it gets worse each year. I became a Christian in 1999 after my son committed suicide. I was baptized 20 years ago.
@@kevinstreeter6943sorry to hear this brother, May the Lord comfort you and the devil is the one who comes to steal , kill and destroy but Jesus came to give us eternal life. Even if you can’t see Him, I pray that you will know how much He loves you. His word helps us know Him better continue to press in as the days are getting darker
As for my desires. Though none are bad, I lay them down at his feet. I never want those to become greater than him. His will, not mine. I want my fulfillment be greater in him that anything that’s decaying. I’ve had to kill and surrender deep desires before that at times I still struggle. But they’re all his, those desires aren’t even present in my life. So he may have it all, even that which is empty.
I humbly pray that he direct me to where he needs me to be. If I hear nothing, I’ll continue on the path I’m on.
Man I can't tell you how much I hadn't thought of this letting go of dreams and all that....
You must* give up - not to* - Please fix the title. It's not grammatically correct.
very true, of your own attempt.
