      @@JayCatJess Reading this gave me so much joy! As someone who struggles with anxiety I can only imagine the peace, relief and freedom, joy… it’s so beautiful. As your brothers and sisters in Christ we definitely care “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭26). It really is beautiful to see that happen in your life✨

    God is helping me with contentment in having a broken AC in my apartment and being able to rest in the fact that God has it all figured out!! Over the past few days, i’ve been incredibly distressed and frustrated, sending out angry emails to the landlord and management about the lack of AC in the summer heat. But today, the Lord spoke to me through His word and through this podcast, to be content, because the Lord is taking care of this situation, and I can’t wait to see what the Lord will do! Even with something as silly as an AC going out, the Lord showed me His grace today in what He spoke to me. The Lord is so good. Deleting angry emails and sending kinder ones. Resting in the cool and heat, knowing that if Jesus could sleep through a storm, then so can I!

    23:40 when Lokelani was talking about how she was trying to rush the healing process I felt that but I’m a different way. Lately i find myself trying to rush the healing process (emotional, mental and spiritual) and i feel like when that is over THEN i could be content. But i should be content IN the process as well!! Thank y’all so much

    In my life Jesus is helping me with contentment and being OK and content with myself even if I don’t get accolades win basketball games get followers get likes - and just being content with the way God made me living this life to glorify him even if I don’t get man approval. And some drastic measures that I can take to keep my eyes on Jesus are reading the Bible more, scrolling less on social media and seeing posts that I don’t need to look at, also praying more, and also watching more videos like this and also memorizing more scripture 📖

    I found myself being discontent with parenting. My 16 year old who’s is a great kid is going through some teenage things and was in a slump with school. She is graduating early, and I was excited because I’m tired of raising another person. I love parenting and will give my life for my child, but parental fatigue kicked in on me, while grieving ( single parent lost my sister and mom within the past 3 years). Just this morning I was asking for increased grace and patience, God reminded me he assigned me to her because he equipped me to instill in her all he has for the plans assigned to her life. I was selected to be a part of this amazing purpose and this amazing human being. Be content where you are and yes it may take more time but I need you to focus on your assignment and I will give you rest for She is going to do marvelous things. Chill…

    after the amen: wow. perfect timing. as hard as it is to admit…i have an addiction to social media. im 15 years old and i have always loved creating “content”. over the past few weeks, i’ve been hearing God’s voice, telling me to delete social media and i had to - it was difficult but i couldn’t ignore His voice. i have grown my relationship with God now more than ever. i only have youtube (to watch sermons like these) but something in me always told me that in a few weeks, i would download the other apps again. this is showing me that God doesn’t want me to go back to social media, because i would be running away from Him. thank you ❤

    The more I look for Jesus the more content I become. For every struggle we have something to be grateful for, although Loke is having these pains for now, she was able to give birth to 5 beautiful children that I'm sure you're so grateful for... Life is beautiful! That's part of the process of understanding and getting closer to Jesus :)

    Jesus is helping me to be content by constantly reminding me that he is the living water which as I drink from I never thirst. Each time I feel my body longing for sin he puts it on my heart that I must eagerly turn toward him and those desires with fade away. Instead they are replaced with the good news of the gospel and an complete satisfaction in the Lord.

    Jesus is helping me to be content in a lot of areas!
    1. To be content being single and not dating
    2. He is helping me to be at peace with what I have in my life 😌
    3. And He is helping me to be content in whatever future plans He has for me...( college, work, relationships,etc.)
    Drastic measures I should rake:
    1. Read His word more and keep off of worldly things around me....to seek His Kingsom first and righteousness
    2. Count my blessings and praise God for them and what's to come continually! And even my Salvation
    3. Stay off of college websites and constant researching about a course or career and just relax and just trust God's plan
    God bless you and your beautiful family ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼Amazing and well needed message guys. Jesus loves you incredibly much !🙏🏼

      Jesus is helping me be content in my finances, I used to fluctuate my mood or joy with how much money I had , I was in a accident and had to pay a large amount I’m not used to and it threw everything off , but through this I have learn how to not let anything still my joy because it is my strength, lack is not my portion and if I manage the little he will make me ruler of many , I trust him with a new assurance I didn’t have before, not in my own strength but truly trusting him , I am content.

    Jesus is guiding me and he lets me see his wonderfull works. For example, today at chuch we have at the end of our church service prayer time, in which people with prayer needs can come to the front, so other people can pray for them. One Guy came to the front and was greeted by one of the oldest in church. They prayed, everybody prayed and after 5 minutes he took the microphone and said welcome our new brother into our family, he just accepted Jesus. Praise the Lord !!!

    I find contentment in the word and in prayer. Today, the Lord reminded me of a prophetic word video that was saying that I am going to be a millionaire. The first time I heard it I was moved to tears because I was instantly thinking about money, prosperity and prestige and the fact that I could spoil my parents, siblings and other people financially in a God-favored way. After coming across the video again today, I prayed to God and asked him if this message was directed to me and if he could give me a sign if I should take it seriously. But when Lokelani read 1.Timothy 6, 6-7, I really understood that contentment in Christ is the real fortune God is enabling me to experience in my life. I ALREADY AM RICH IN CHRIST ❤ And I instantly smiled, looked to the sky and thanked God for this powerful, cheerful and joyful word. Thanks guys for doing Gods Will in other peoples lives and this podcast 🎉

    Instagram is not built for you to discontent, that's just a heart issue, that's ego, kill that and pray about it and see it for what it is. That is a platform to share, don't worry about followers, do your thang and God will send ppl to your page or he won't.

    this was an amazing message!! thank you so much. Jesus is helping me with contentment because he taught me that being discontent is actually leading us to be cut off from God, which is the opposite of what i want to do. a drastic measure i would take is do the opposite of what the world feeds into. for example, lust and greediness are two of the main things u struggle with.

He is an awesome kid that I’m grateful for, but when he has times of poor listening and throwing tantrums it can really make me feel discontent. So I will work on that to appreciate Him for where’s He. brought me, and continue to learn to be a better flexible parent that’s able to adjust to all scenarios.

    To be more content, I just need to put more things away in my life and fill that with more time with Him, more time in prayer, more time doing things for the kingdom. If any of the brethren see this please pray for me. It’s hard, I’ve been in a season of just feeling like what I do doesn’t matter. It all just seems like a waste of time, my job, focusing on all these things that don’t matter in the long run yet I have to think on these things because working, money, future, all that stuff; is a part of living everyday life. Idk how to explain it, it’s just weird. Anyway, thank you for the message and God bless you and the children!
