It’s a constant battle between flesh and spirit. What I’m learning in those moments I need to truly be honest with God and ask for an increase of him. Increase of his strength, joy, grace. Deposits of whatever I may be lacking.
Still going through this. I wear a smile because nobody needs to see the pain i feel. It will only negatively impact my fellowshipping and sharing the gospel. I still see myself as recently turned 40 and want to escape his reality. God sees me as a child of God, warrior of faith and willing to persist in following Him and His glory. Also thanks for sharing this, sister in Christ. It is encouraging to know that we are not alone.
I just want to encourage you that it is okay to share your feelings with the people around you who you know truly care about you. Our God is a God of relationship, He desires a relationship with us so deeply and He wants us to have close relationships with the people in our lives that He’s blessed us with - that’s what they are there for. To encourage us, to lift us up and share our burdens when we need them to (Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 17:17, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Ecclesiastes 4:9). This is something that I have struggled with and even sometimes now too, the idea that I’m burdening people when I let them in on my problems, but that is truly what our brothers and sisters are there for. I pray that for both of us we wouldn’t neglect this aspect of fellowship 🙌🏾
Additionally I would say that being completely open and honest about your feelings in the midst of your faith would actually be refreshing for those around you, because it would show them that you aren’t perfect and you aren’t trying to portray yourself that way - that there are real struggles you feel as well. I know that God doesn’t want us to pretend that we’re perfect and in that way lie about how we are truly doing
You won't last for long hiding your pain... Believe me i know how it is. You are smart hang in there you have God and he will be sure to provide people for you too that you can be valunerable with even if they are not always christian (like family members who care to listen to you or others. Tells our father your pain he already knows but will led you a ear if you would like to share!
No matter how you feel, no matter the circumstances, no matter what they say, just moving ahead by the faith... It's tough in the beginning, but you can!
Thanks for this message. I was questioning my faith lately with God because I feel like I am being a hypocrite for claiming that I trust Him yet worry and fear for what I am going through. Thanks for reminding us that our feelings do not diminish the faith that we have in God. Because truth be told, faith is not a feeling - it's a choice. That being said, despite feeling all of these "feelings", I will still choose to have faith in God.
This was great. Thank you for sharing! It reminded me of Exodus 15 when Moses was leading the people of Israel to sea in order to protect them from the Egyptians. The people were so afraid but they still followed and listened to Moses because they saw his power and gift before. They saw the Egyptians coming in masses and cried to Moses asking why he would bring them to die in the wilderness, it was better to just be slaves to the Egyptians. But even with their cries they still listened to him. Moses parted the sea and freed the people of Israel, and the Egyptians who were coming to attack perished in the sea. The people of Israel had moments of doubt but their heart was still dependent and willing to experience the power of God through Moses. God is with us, Always
This video really spoke to my thought process lately. I’ve been feeling really bad about my doubtful tendencies and my faith coexist. But I’m so happy that as long as I keep looking to Jesus, my feelings won’t determine the outcome of what I’m praying for❤️
I really don’t know what I’m doing everyday with my struggles and battles mentally but repenting for my sins and allowing myself to forgive me and others, has brought me peace. Whenever I have a negative thought, I allow it but I rebut the devil and say Gods words to help it pass through. I used to NEVER be a spiritual person and I disliked church growing up but life hit me so hard this year and I have been shedding my flesh so much.
Thank you so much for this! I struggle with this. Sometimes I just break down, and then I’m apologizing to God for being upset, etc. I also worry if I’m messing something up, etc. I told God today, “I just need to let myself feel this for a moment.” Then I can pick myself back up and carry on. When I get this way, I’m careful to really just turn to God and try not to put my “stuff” out there to other people.
Yess!! I was at the heaviest part of heartbreak when i came to the Lord. He put it on my heart to take a 3 day prayer and fast and to have faith he’d restore what was lost. After that fast a weight was lifted off of me. I’m still devastated having been broken up with but i feel rejuvenated and the heaviness dissipated i’m in his presence and when i cry he comforts me
God is love! He always shows up in His children when the flock needs a word. I legit experienced this last week and I was feeling bad about feeling my feelings because I didn’t want to be disrespectful to our Father for even having the thought (without reaction of course). This was the reassurance I needed. Your channel is anointed 🙏🏽. God bless you
This message came right on time, may God bless you. I was beating myself down, I even thought I'm being faithless. I am experiencing a very hurting period in my life and I felt like I'm not exercising faith by feeling how I feel. This came as an assurance.
I needed this so much. I don’t even know how to elaborate, but thank you for walking with the Lord and answering that call to His salvation. It’s so true when people say, “your obedience is will lead to someone else’s breakthrough. I wish I had more friends like you!
AWW AHH this is so sweet. and encouraging. I have so many things and people who give me that same breakththrough weather that be in a video or people around me he will bring. but im so grateful to hear it has blessed you in a way.
I feel as though i'm a pharisees. I act as if i'm perfect but i'm really not. I'm 12 years old and I struggle with sin from the heart. Jelousy, pride, bragging, judging others, cussing in my mind, and attetion seeking. I hate having to deal with this every day of school and those bad thoughts. I hate it so much. I just want to be perfect in all my ways. When will I finally overcome these? I hate them and I'm having a hard time trusting that God will help me and that all I have to do is accept the gift of salvation. Please pray for me. Im not perfect and God knows this. Im a friend of Jesus, not just a servant who has to fufill tasks.
I want you to know that God loves you regardless. Damn, even I love you regardless. I read your message and was baffled by the level of self awareness needed to do such introspection and feel this conviction. You’re gonna be fine, go to God with these things! Tell him to search your heart and take away what doesn’t please him! I’m rooting for you. I’m praying for you. You have so much knowledge already, have faith.
I can relate in aspects !! I think what’s helped me most is that it’s not about religion l. We have to get out of the mindset we’ve been programmed into thinking which is that it’s all about doing doing doing. And religion. Or being perfect. God is the only perfect judge as we know so if anything it should comfort us that we don’t have to cary the burden of judging. God truly knows peoples hearts, intentions and mistakes more than just from what we can see. I’m so glad you’re trying to be a good example for others and trying to help others stay on track but all we can do is plant seeds and be examples we can’t control them or change them or hate them if they don’t because we are called to love just as Christ did when he died for us knowing we were still sinners.just remember he has just as much grace and mercy for you as he does for and with anyone else. 💐🙏🏽🩷 he loves you.
Hello Love, what great insight. That your feelings don't invalidate your faith as long as you don't succumb to them, and give them the place of your faith in God. The struggle of our faith, when we perservere through, is what strengthens our faith. That why our Savior is the perfect advocate for us in heaven because in all points He was tested as we are but He did not sin! Well done, Love. Looking forward to your next teaching 😊.
This gave me a LOT of encouragement because i too have felt guilty for feeling stuff, especially anger when soooo many people have mistreated me in my past, while trying to learn how to forgive them (which i still find joy in because God is teaching me probably the most important lesson right there, forgiveness) so i have been afraid that my emotions are like slowing God down you know? When that's not the case at all, because like you said, it's not about our feelings, but what God can do and he doesn't need our feelings to be one way or the other in order for him to work on us and move on our behalf. Btw I think you're really pretty! God bless you and your walk with Him.
I've been slowly gravitating back to God. And this is something I struggle with learning to just trust him and have faith. I have neither, I give him things but still want to take them into my own hands. I also don't feel like I love God or have encountered him or have a grandiose testimony. I just felt like since I can't do things on my own bring it to God. I feel like he is not there but I know he is. There's still a lot I'm confused about. Like I still don't understand him dying for our sins, and I feel something pull in my chest because I'm aggravated and don't understand.
Keep seeking him in those areas. He’s the only one who can bring you true calrity and answers and show you. Also ANY and EVERY testimony is beautiful, impactful, and helpful. No matter what you went through or didn’t go through it’s more than POWERFUL. Gif created each of our stories they’re a blessing !!! 💐🙌🏾
You truly are doing the lords work. The lord always brings me across your videos in the right time !! Thank you for using your platform to spread the good news !!❤
I had a similar revelation yesterday but struggled to believe it. This being posted today is definitely confirmation for me! You are doing great work, thank you for being obedient to God :)
There are many things that god want me to do or go thru and sometimes it feels like I’m wrestling with god but I try my best to be obedient. But when I just give it all to him and let him handle it I get a sudden feeling of peace and assurance knowing that he’s guiding the way
I love that you used Jesus as an example. I know the story and scripture but didn't have this perspective. This gives me a new and refreshed faith. I can feel my feelings a little more confidently now and not let them pull me from God
Thank you so so much for this video!!! I was, am going through exact situation like this and this has encouraged me so much that I am not alone!🥹🫶🏼 Thank you sister and may God protect you and may His peace overflows!!!
Thank you so much for this piece of encouragement. Past these couple of days I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride with all of these emotions and I was starting to feel so overwhelmed and also like angry at myself that I’m not at the place I’m supposed to be, where I feel like God is leading me to be. Thank you once again because I felt heard and seen! May God bless you 🤍 you’re doing something amazing for his kingdom!
amen that's a blessing to hear. im so grateful when you guys are able to be blessed by these, because the spiritual ware fair I feel before posting is realll and I be making me second guess sometimes. but God is good. so good. all the time. !!
We have to look at the context of our fear. Example: Esther if she wasn’t afraid we wouldn’t have know what was at stake for her to do the right thing. Or what she was able to overcome because of God. But we have to remember the context of our faith. That context is Jesus. Anything is possible for the one who believes in Christ Jesus. He rose from the dead he can bring any area of our life back from the dead.
Hello, I loved this video. It definitely spoke to me. I also wanted to know what your podcast set up is? Like if you have link to it? Bc I also have a podcast and I’m trying to get more advanced technology
The Lord said that we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We will feel our feelings but we are charged to take EVERY thought captive, not give ourselves permission to feel the fear, because perfect love drives out fear. Abraham believed but showed doubt, but in the end, he had crazy faith that didn't hesitate or question God when he was to sacrifice Isaac. Jesus was about to be separated from the perfect communion that He'd always had with Himself as the 3 that bears record in heaven The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. He did not want to experience that separation. He did not fear the cross and being obedient to that separation that needed to occur for Him to become sin for us to bear the full weight of God's wrath in our place. That is the cup He wanted to pass, not the mission at hand because He knew it was for a purpose to save our lives. We should always dismiss those thoughts of fear and let His love remind us that fear doesn't belong within our hearts. We are to have faith because without it, it is impossible to please God. We have no reason to fear because God is faithful. You can't worry and have faith at the same time, worry is evidence that you don't have faith in every situation. We should get to a place where we TRUST Him with everything.
It’s a constant battle between flesh and spirit. What I’m learning in those moments I need to truly be honest with God and ask for an increase of him. Increase of his strength, joy, grace. Deposits of whatever I may be lacking.
Amen❤❤❤
AMENN. that's SO good. SO fire.
