Should be but a lot are not . Sadly 😢
And a University to teach the Word; how to live victoriously; & how to live in unity…
Selah, you are one of my best christian female singers (artist) of all time. At the same time, I really love and like your music and songs as well. Blessed and God bless🙏
I've been rejected, made fun of, criticized, and shamed in the same way this woman has ever since very young age, by none other than the so called Christian family members, just because I was the heaviest one in our entire family. I still struggle with so many food issues and emotional eating and starving, and anxiety. Everything that Amy said brought up so many emotions because of how similar it is to my life. Jesus is the ONLY one who has never left me.
Dear Amy, You are totally beautiful and even more so when you sing. I found Selah several month ago and fell in love with all of you. You are my favorite group.
Amy, I love you and your beautiful voice. Thank you for using your talent for God and his people! ❤
This is the second time this year I’ve heard a Christian woman say that a man “wants to take care of her”. Those are such sweet words!
I would love to hear those words from a man who truly adores me. But alas, I don't think that is ever going to happen. I am too old, at least I believe I am. (65) years old.
@@JesusismyRock773 I waited tables for many years and have met a few couples who met at 80+!!!!
Best part is they got married:)
Lovely!
You are so beautiful..because God made you like that. I listen to most of the songs you are such an inspiration to me, and thousands of others...AMEN..
I can relate to this story. I was overweight struggling to overcome by my own will. One day I ended up running over myself with lawnmower. As I lay in the grass, I called out to Jesus. Within minutes I stopped bleeding, brushed myself off and fell to my knees. Still working on my weight, but w God, I know nothings impossible!👏🙏☀️
Talk to God about everything he’s the greatest Friend you can ask him to help you to lose weight he literally created you he knows what’s best for you
Amy is so beautiful. She looks like a model, and has a beautiful voice. I wish I could be in a group and sing like her. I do sing, but people in my family would make snide remarks, so I just gave up even trying to make it in the music world.
I have battled weight for sooo many years. High school was horrible. Lost weight, gained it. I’m not a young women, it gets harder. One thing I’ve learned; it’s necessary for my health to Maintain a healthy weight for the sake of my family, and the people I serve. I do not want to seem judgmental, but we must learn to discipline ourselves, and not allow the flesh to rule us! Don’t set up camp there, keep fighting!
Such an inspiring lady.
You are just so gorgeous and also your personality and the way you speak. So many of us can so relate to your journey. Thankyou for sharing..we love you and your wonderful singing ♡
You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful singing voice! You have been blessed ❤
Thank you for your transparency Amy. This sounds a lot like my story. Jesus will heal me and set me free.
I don't care what others think of me. I just want to lose weight to be healthy and so I can walk and stand longer. For nobody else but me
Such a beautiful mesaj you are so beautiful inside out I always love to listen to your music
ÌAmen and amen sister! I've had a similar situation in my life. I'm still working it out and with God's grace I will be able to gain confidence in who God made me to be. God bless everyone! 😊🕊🔥💖✝️💕❤️
Well done for losing 70 pounds! God bless ❤
God raised Selah up, your music is Glorifying, thank you!
This is just what I needed to hear! Saved 5 years ago and many addictions have been overcome through the Holy Spirit but Binge eating disorder and non purging bulemia are the last that need to go. I’ve only just realised it’s what I’ve got about a month ago and stems back from childhood trauma. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide me on a healing and healthy path. Thank you Amy for your lovely testimony ❤ xx
🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m praying right now for you Tracey . GOD bless 🙏🏻💕
Psalm 139:14
Look in the mirror, into your eyes and say this until you believe it and every time you have a “bump” do it again.
This helped me so much but it took a long time before I could do it without crying and then to believe it.
You are His masterpiece💕
Pray for me too
This really helped me, as I am on a journey to overcome binge eating disorder. How good is my Father that I came across this. Just to see her confidence and joy in life, not having those tied to her size! I will take her advice and read Psalm 139 every day out loud!
Greatest man in history,he had no servants yet they called him master,he had no degree yet they called him teacher,he had no medicines yet they called him healer,he had no washing line yet he hung on a cross,he had no military yet kings feared him he had no military battles yet he conquered the world he committed no sin yet they crucified him they buried him in a tomb yet he lives today hes the only person to say goodbyes to death and the grave but he lives forever his name is king Jesus and every tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord
❤️😍
Amen 🙏🏻
This has really given me a lot to think about. Thank you for sharing, God bless you.
There is power in words
Beautiful attitude, Amy, from a beautiful person!
Amen sister! One step at a time. Jesus is the answer, no matter what's going on. "From faith to faith, from glory to glory" God is doing so much in the "Body" following Jesus starts with one step.
Blessings Mike
Thank you for this timely message
thank you for your honesty beautiful woman of God!
I (and I know many others) completely understand what Amy has gone through with weight and resulting lack of confidence. It is a huge struggle and the answer is often so discouragingly elusive. In the end, it is about acceptance. And Amy, you really are beautiful! And your voice is one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.
It's so kind and encouraging of you to share such supportive words for Amy. Struggles with weight and self-confidence are indeed very common, and they can deeply affect how we see ourselves and interact with the world around us. Your message of acceptance and affirmation is a powerful reminder of the love and grace that God extends to each of us, no matter our external circumstances or how we might view ourselves.
Let's continue to lift each other up, recognizing and celebrating the beauty and value in each of us, as God does.
Nice to see Amy. I know her personally. and her mom and dad. used to attend the same church that she went to when she lived in California.
Can relate to emotional connection and food. Lord elp me 🙏
Most people have heard of the keto dirt by now. Cut out carbs, eat meat, vegetables, healthy oils, nuts, some fruit, and high fat dairy. Exercise 30 to 60 minutes daily...just walking.
The problem is many people don't have the discipline. The will not give up the carbs. The problem with carbs is they make your body craves more. You have to break the cycle. Once your body fuels itself on fat, rather then glucose you no longer crave the junk food. The easiest way not to eat the breads, and carbs is by not putting them in your cupboards to begin with.
The easiest way is to do fasting. When you are fasting you can't eat even if they are in plenty.
Yes, I agree. But for those with greater food addictions it may not because of a stronger desire to eat. When I do the keto diet I combine it with intermittent fasting eating once a day and then once every two days and back again. I lose half a pound a day with this technique which totals 15 pounds a month. God Bless.
The Holy Spirit can make all things possible in you. If you have a passion that fulfils you more than the desire to eat, then it is easy to fast. Remember the story in the gospels where Jesus had just finished speaking to the woman at the well, and His disciples came to him saying he should eat something, but He said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” He then went on to say that his food was to finish the work that the Father had given him to do. So He was kind of saying that he was just as satisfied by doing his Father's work, even more than the satisfaction He would have got if He had interrupted that work to go off and find food to eat.
Amen
She needs healing in her soul. But that healing is not covered by mainstream Christianity.
Yep!!! Christian family members have hurt me in the same way they hurt this woman, and I'm STILL struggling with my eating disorder and messed up food habits and emotions to this day, AND not a single one of the Christian family members believes that they did anything wrong and REFUSE to say a simple "I'm sorry" and STILL blame ME for my issues. That's how Christians can be. Jesus is the ONLY ONE who has never left me or forsaken me. I run to Him and Him alone and not to any Christian counselor or so called friend for help.
It amazes me that so many "Christians" think that since Jesus "washed away all their sins", that means they don't have to apologize for hurting others. Still baffles me....
I battle sugar addiction, and I’m skinny. It is still WRONG for me. It has affected my health, too. Just because one can “ get away with it” because she is skinny doesn’t make it right!
You’re so beautiful Amy❤
God can free you from the spirit of gluttony
He can help you lose weight he knows what’s best for us he literally created us
A fruit of the Spirit is self control and relationship with God is most important tell him absolutely everything he’s a great listener he is truly the greatest Father and Friend in the whole entire universe
Most of the time it's not gluttony- at ALL. It's usually emotionally driven, underlying anxiety and other deeply rooted issues, often that a person doesn't even realize. It takes a real work of God healing us inside. Especially in the church world things often revolve around food- meals are fellowship. We should never, ever judge anyone bc they're overweight.
Bulimia is an ugly word. God my Shame & Guilt & Secret fear AND HE loved me Every day for 30 YEARS God cared (age 10-40) & He healed me. Christian woman who's felt the Guilt, Shame & Fear of discovery woman to know that God Knows about & Loves each of us & He Can Heal us gently and completely. I know it was Only Him who did what I Never could even imagine for me. Please reach out if anyone is trapped by food and the feeling that you're alone. I'll try to check back if I hear anything from the many people who suffer from the enemy's body image lies. YOU CAN BE AT PEACE with who God made you! I spent 30 years crying & dying in that prison and NOW 30 MORE YEARS pretty much healed & free!
One cannot be addicted to food; the problem is gluttony.
