3 things that happen when you deny yourself

- To deny oneself is counter cultural. Our world tells us otherwise but Jesus tells us that the best way is the narrow way. We can have full confidence that He knows better than us. To deny yourself means to renounce the way you have been living in exchange for what God wants. This echoes the call to humility & submission and while it is often difficult, it is truly liberating and restful to our souls. As we deny the self, the flesh, and follow Jesus, we are refined & prepared for whatever God calls us to.

What is something that God called you away from? 🤔
One of the many things He called me away from was Video games 🎮🙌
Thank you Jesus 😭🙌
@@TheWayTheTruthTheLife_ I have heard this from many ! certain video games, not all
As a happily married man for 36 years, he called me away from the addiction of porn and adult chat rooms!
He is calling me away to the quiet place and out of my comfort zone…into more evangelism. So scary!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He delivered me from the rhythm of the world. Social media, superficial pics/posts, vanity, pride, praise, lust, validation, attention, addiction, bondage. Oh and secular rap music, lol. Thank you Jesus
@@CoreyCaporusso commeeeee onnnnnnnn 🔥🙌
God has called me away from using words in retaliation towards others. Forgiveness.....😊
wow... amazing
Then Jesus spoke to them again saying, I Am the light of the world, he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. John 8:12
Nothing but truth is spoken here!! Thank you Sarah for sharing your God given insight!! 🙌❤️
God called me away from…”me.” And I’m so glad He did!! Denying myself and following Him gives more joy and peace than I ever found in what “I” tried. That only comes from denying myself and following Christ. Sarah, your videos are always spot on!!
Called me away from my family. And it seriously hurts because they were lost. But in the midst of the calling away from them he assured me he would prepare them for the last super himself. And when I returned to them they would be ready to be fed and sharpened with Love through Jesus Christ. And I'm not going to lie it was so difficult for me to walk away from them because, I honestly felt like these are the end times, Jesus will be returning soon and the things they were doing weren't good. And I wanted to help them but sure enough after a year of separating myself from them they just started looking for me and now I'm thankful my whole family is looking so much better. Sounding so much healthier. (The biggest difference I noticed) There fruits become less and less dark. Andthe small amounts of positive looked so spiritually Love intended. It made me so happy.
I'm even noticing the city I live in has taken a huge step towards Loving Jesus Christ. It's pretty amazing. (Sorry for the long comment) And great though provoking question Sarah!
That is SOO beautiful and the fact that you listened to Jesus when to someone else that wouldn't make any sense. I have to relate to this - God has called me away from some Christian friendships and anyone would say oh that's nonsense - that's not Christian love - and I couldn't understand why there was a feeling like I was doing something wrong in the spiritual so I stepped back from some friends and I received two answers later on... One I was stifling one of them from fully relying on God and two God wanted me to eliminate as much chatter as possible (keeping up with texts and hang outs) and actually isolate for a bit so that I could focus on what I do on this channel. I don't believe in long term isolation however. But moral of the story is, we have to follow His lead regardless if we understand it or not. and I welcome the long comments haha! God bless
@@sarahspeaksup, wisdom ❤
Doing whatever you want leads you to burning guilt and shame. Denying yourself is like starving a wild animal when you are really hooked into bad ways. It gets easier, the squirming desires quiten abit, but still, they linger when the stars begin their twinkling vigil and the dark silence begins to rumble with a mishmosh of anxiety fearfeelings of desolation and morbid sense of isolation. I Now headphone my sleep with either bible, bible stories, prayers, etc. Fix sight on peace and by the will of your resolve shall climb the heavenly steps with Jesus. I know this is true because I can never deny my own eyes.
Philip.
glad i found your channel sister. i pray to never want to return to Egypt from whence he delivered me.
@@rickfitzgerald1760 I come in agreement with that prayer right now
God bless you sister 🕊🤍 God called me back to the UK. I lived in Australia, and it was after an unintentional Intentional Suicide attempt 5 years ago i was totally dependent on alcohol.. on the plane, the day i left, God spoke to me. He said to read the bible, so after a year of sining and ending up in the gutter, i read the bible and became saved literally. AMEN BLESS God HALLELUJAH 🙏 🙌 💖
@@paulfrost6185 🤯🤯🤯🙌🙌🙌
Halleluja brother Paul! Please continue to seek and focus on Him first and foremost.
That Anointed word hit my soul.
I know it, I feel it, I hear him calling me to give these up, just needed to hear it! I’ve been very weak, bit God has been so merciful and faithful, I really need to give these things up, 1 day at a time! Lust and alcohol for starters. Thank you Sarah for the encouragement, God bless you
@@frankmalc1135 God has you and you will be free. AMEN
@ thank you! Yes, praise God!
Yes this video served very well, thank you
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth my sister blessings hallelujah amen 🙏
So true 🙏
The closer I get to God the WORST my life gets and I'm exhausted. I haven't been so depressed in years and I'm starting to feel like I'm going crazy. Everything is a "test" or "attack" and it doesn't seem like prayer makes a difference. I know FAITH is important but for the first time in my walk I am starting to wonder if I'm making this up because I have NOT "heard" God's voice or felt guided but Him in anyway. Or felt strength, peace or joy during the hardships I have faced despite my only desire for His will to be done in my life. I'm facing mysterious health problems, I'm broke, lonely and have no motivation, peace or hope. I weep profusely when I think of God's promises so I know there's a shred of hope but I am exhausted in every way.
Thank you Sarah God bless you
I need prayers to make this my lifestyle
I come in agreement with this for you. God has you ❤
What a very encouraging video. Thank you, Sarah.
Beautiful teaching! I'm praying 🙏 for you that Yahweh God the Father will strengthen you in your innerman with a deeper revelation knowledge of Yeshua Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit
That is the best prayer you could possibly offer up for me.. to know my Savior more
I LOVE this Sarah & really needed to hear it today. Talk about God's timing !!! ❤
@@BillYuhas hallelujah!!! Thank you for telling me 🫶🙏🙌
Amen praise God sis 🌟😍🙏💪🌟😍🙏💪
Nice one ✝
I needed this one today. Thank you. 🙏🏼
To deny ourselves means that we are not trusting in our own strength, ability, willpower, education or wisdom or any such thing. We are to place our total trust and confidence in Jesus Christ and His Finished Work. That’s how we are supposed to live the Christian life.
Amen!
We still need to believe and Jesus says: " 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." and "22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? " - James 2 = Your works complete what you believe in. Without works you don't really believe in Jesus with your heart.
"11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, so we live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age" Titus 2, 11-12
Thank you, Sarah for sharing the message. I'm am grateful.
thank you so much you preach the truth
God Bless you,
Thank you!
A satiated soul… I yearn for
Certain desires for my future and not his future, God is calling me away from like Stand up comedy and being a Game developer. I could make good games but knowing me it will turn into what I want instead, which is why I need to give it up
@@drakeP1999 🙏🙏
While I had decided to say enough is enough with my addiction to porn and adult chatrooms a couple weeks ago, and one of your videos I came across in youtube a couple weeks ago on "Lust and Addiction," this was the driving force that turned me around and to stop it once and for all, while being a christian, but knowing also that this was not pleasing to God and the that I was being unfaithful to my wife for all these years!
@@ndirish8435 praise God.. you are set free! What a beautiful thing 🙌
Thank you Sarah!
Wow, Amen to that!
Amen Sarah! ☝️
Amen! Thank you sis!
God talks to me when I deny myself and give him my time and my focus. Our enemy knows this of me and his greatest attacks on me are to keep my mind on any thing but our father. My mind has to be doing/pondering/planning ETC all the time it never wants to rest or sleep. This is a thirst for God that can not remain idle. I removed my cell phone from my life 6 years ago and put a limit on internet time. This has allowed me to keep my mind on our father and not just give him time slots. Who knew you could live without a cell phone. I guess it is not our savior after all. One would think it is by the way the masses covet them. I know not one person I can hold a conversation with that is not glancing down at a phone in very short intervals. Think if we thought of our father that much and that often what a different life we may have and person we could be?
Wow you are rare!!! I am easily distracted and very mindful of it
@@sarahspeaksup Sarah in my mind I can find no peace in this world at all not even for a brief moment without God. This is dark but without him I would be out of my mind and removed from the population one way or another. But all things are possible with our father and he brings me the peace of mind that sustains me. I do not care how bad you think you are or what you have did in this world MY AND OUR GOD can forgive it then change you. NONE are turned away if they will just bend their heart to God in repentance. It all starts with repentance. Its the secret that should not be secret and the shunned that should not be shunned. But instead yelled from the roof tops. Amen!
Amen!!!
Lookin good girl! Your voice is sultry! 😁
Ok so lets say after a long time denying the flesh you are made now a new creature, For me I feel like I'm stepping into my true self and that this new body will be revealed when my time here is done or the rapture happens first. Should I feel ashamed I don't completely look human.
I had a prophetic dream back in the 1990s, I was in my mid-30s then, I am 64 now. In my dream I was with a group of people, we were dressed in Middle-Eastern type garb like the people wore in the Biblical days. We had primitive pack on our backs. We had prepared to set off on a long journey by foot. As we looked at the scene before us we balked. As far as the eye could see was a waterless scene of nothing but red sand and waist high volcanic rock boulders. As we were about to turn back God in human form appeared in front of us. He said to us, "There will be water every day". Then he touched the side of a dry gully with his hand and water began to trickle down out of the dirt. I gathered a cup of this muddy mixture and drank it (I felt that I should have first offered the water to our guest). After drinking the cup of water it felt as if I had drank a quart of water. We then began our journey, and I woke up.
Blessings, 💞

Deny yourself. The foundation of love. John 15:12-14
New King James Version
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
@@ThomasB_N4G amen. Jesus basically implied we should be willing to die for him.
Deny your old dead self and accept your new pure and holy self in Jesus after you got born again by baptising in Jesus name and believe in Him with your heart.
If we are born again we are not anymore in the flesh but in the spirit (Romans 8), because the old died and is burried (Romans 6). It is not our flesh anymore who tempts us but (evil) spirits.
"11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, so we live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age"
"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit [of Jesus] and you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh" - Galatians 5, 16
How are we called in order to say "yes master"? Can you be clearer- I never get this bit, since I never hear anything!
@@markfly480 great question .. does God ever nudge you away from something/someone? Does He ever place a new desire in your heart that might be out of your comfort zone, but you know it’s going to Glorify Him? If so, we should be obedient in our response bc we trust Him more than what our eyes see and that is one way we express love to Him. Hope this helps 🫶
The good news is that Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of (eternal life) to all who trust Him alone for salvation 💓.
He paid for all the sins of all the world at the cross (past, present, and future). 💓
That payment is put to your account when you have believed on Christ alone for salvation.
*This means that saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.*
Following Jesus is for service not salvation.
Salvation is absolutely free and not conditional upon service to God.
I serve God faithfully out of love and gratitude for the free gift of salvation 💝❤️💝❤️💝❤️.
@@colonalklink14 amen
@sarahspeaksup Please keep up the good work sister.
See you soon in Heaven.
@@colonalklink14 thank you. Love the way you explained the gospel! That is amazingly well said 🫶
The term "Flesh" is actually "Self" anything that pleases your self and does not honor the Lord... remove the "H" and spell the word backwards and "Voila" Self. One thing I've learned in my Christian walk is "The torment of the temptation to Sin, does not compare with the torment of the "consequences of Sin" ..translated- pleasure without penalty is the Devil's Lie. ✝️⚔🛡🙏
@@imbatman3620 wowww 🤯
Sacrifice is a better word. However...................once gone it is tolerable. Try being a Chosen 1 and the last of the Family name.
