I’ve been feeling so lost lately and on top of that I haven’t felt like God was close, like He was with me. But hearing what you just said. It’s really helped me realise that I need to read my bible more, even when I don’t feel like it. You’ve helped me realise that even with God I need to work on my relationship with Him. I needed this so much Becca, thank you! ❤️
Being Louisa get a better bible than the Protestant one. Martin Luther removed several books when he started the reformed church. I’d recommend the Orthodox Bible as they have the most of the original bible.
I’m feeling this exact way right now, I’ve always received the same answer and it never helped. I pray that this is something different that can open my eyes.
"This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ" (Jn 17,3) (I hear the voice of the Divine Savior utter these words, then continue speaking saying :) "Enter into the knowledge of the Eternal Truth: God. The, the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God in Three Persons. Together we work for the salvation of the whole world. Scriptures. They are God's testament. Do not trample on His testament. You are called to value what you have received as a gift. Many are wasting away from lack of knowledge of the Truth. You can know God more every day: by praying and loving. Prayer is not it is never too much, just like love. By praying more, you will reveal your love for God. Put no limits on prayer and love. Become spiritual and not material. Old man is dead, now you are new creatures of the Lord Remain spiritual, guided by the Holy Spirit and not by the spirit of the world. Renounce worldliness, appearance, materialism, and rise up to God. You will be more and more disheartened if you do not give up on all of this. and slaves to the mentality of this century, so devoid of wisdom. Accept suffering, because with suffering I come to visit you. No one can truly know the Eternal if he has not suffered first. It is the suffering that really brings us closer to the Lord. It is suffering that makes hearts open to God. With the Cross, God makes you His. Divine wisdom is not of this earth. Undress yourselves, undress yourselves, of the things of here below and put on the new dress of the whiteness of the soul. Become Mine in abandonment to My Heart ".
@@jadonharper1493 yes, but God has been teaching me this a lot recently. Yes it is amazing to feel God, but we cannot root our faith in feeling alone. For me it became an idol. I was like God let me feel You again, and I chased feeling. But my faith is not subject too feelings
Lately i havent been feeling God's presence and for this reason I've stopped praying and reading my bible. But now i realize how wrong i was to do such a thing!! My love with God shouldn't be based on feelings but in choice and faith. Woww this this video was for me, im soooo incredibly grateful Becca thank u for uploading this gem!!
@@FarAwayDistance Hey so I have a question, I am devoting my life to Christ, breaking sins hold on me in every area, currently, I am fasting from all self-entertaining electronics that are not for God... it's hard, and I am ending the hold of porn in my life. But what I need to know, and want to find out is it ok to read fiction with magic in it, or play video games with magic in it? I am a huge nerd and have grown up with this, but I have been confronted with this question more than once. I need to know from experienced Christians is it ok for this, I know God delights in all true things and all good things, does this include good characters in books or movies where magic is present? I have seen both sides but neither truly says if this is a sin or not. I grew up with stories like a journey to Atlantis, where they use the so-called magic and save many people, and go through a journey from selfish people to those who are there for others. Also stories like King Arthur, who used magic but was a hero, and Sir Galahad who was a virtuous night fighting the darkness and evil of that world that inspired Christian knights for hundreds of years. I know I can not rely on my own understanding but God's, but I see two contradicting points of view in the bible, where I believe paul says he delights in the truth of even confusion and pagan scholars, and that all things with truth in them are honoring to God for God is truth. I can not trust my own judgment here, I am biased and will go and do what I believe to be right, and my beliefs have been wrong before. All that I am is for God, and I try to honor him in all that I do, as long as I live I will fight Lucifer and his ways but is this really a step or trial that has to happen? I love God and will go through whatever trail to be a mature steadfast mature disciple in Christ, but this feels like a more one on one vow if it is a sin I will remove it from my life for good but if it is not even a sin then I should focus on more prevalent problems, and preach more rather than attack something that will not harm me spiritually.
classyt20f7 Ok, I am confused, I have heard three separate people quote scripture saying three different things about the magic in fiction. I am confused, I will remove this from my life if I need to, but is this what is require to not be of the world? From what I understand it is to avoid the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. To avoid the lust of the flesh I am seperating from porn, and all lustful pictures in my life, and fighting gluttony. Lust of the eyes is to avoid covering what others have, I am very content and do not want what the people have in these books. And the pride of life is to avoid the chears of people and the crowds, and avoid boasting of achievement or pride. What pride will I get from reading these books, what ambition for my life am I filling, what chearing? If I am understanding this right, God does not want to be of the world or be addicted to the things others are. I have separated from shooting and violent video games and no longer crave to play them. I pray daily and read 10 chapters a day of scripture and study. I have heard that the books themselves which contains magic is not sinful in itself, and a mature Christian can differentiate truth and falsities. What will these books do to harm my spiritual life, and my growth towards God and the community? I want to be closer to God if I need to burn the books I will, but I do not see how this is slowing my spiritual progression. If you can support your claim with scripture I would be happy to follow along, I go to a Christian university, and even they play video games, and even have a dnd group. They love God, and are not addicted to these things, being separate from the flesh does that mean even fiction as well? As far as I can see it can be a fun hobby, as long as all truth and good things are devoted and thank God for than it is good virtues and deeds done by false character can be devoted to God for he is the truth and the love right?
Feelings are temporary, so we can't base or choices and relationships on our feelings. We think that if we don't feel God, we don't feel like praying or reading the Bible, we are not christian anymore, we have lost faith and God isn't working on us anymore. But it's not. Our relationship with God or with a friend or a boyfriend isn't a feeling, is a daily choice and a lot of work.
Love is not a feeling. wow. God is also not a feeling. i have been feeling so disappointed in myself lately. so much that i felt like i couldn't step in God's presence anymore. Like Moses when he was in God's presence. It's a weird place to be in, looking for God but almost being too ashamed to even approach God. Seeing that this state of mind is only a shift for the worse, though. Negative thoughts coming up, thoughts of not being worthy enough, and thoughts of sin. thank you so so so much for putting those raw & vulnerable thoughts out there. i pray for a close relationship to God, for full trust, full guidance, full obedience 🙏🏻🤍
I’ve been in a ‘dry season’ for a while. This video really did help me. I’m going to strive and put God first more. Thanks Becca for making this video! 💗
9:42 Reminds me of something I have to do all the time. "Lord humble me before you that I may be humble before others." It's so important to be humble before Him!
Totally understand that you have other responsibilities besides RUclips! Love is absolutely a choice! Our feelings come and go but we must choose to love as Jesus does, unconditionally. I like how you applied this to our relationship with God too. Sometimes we don’t feel like reading our bibles or praying or going to church but we know that when we stop doing those things, we slowly slip back into our old ways and let the world take hold.
I absolutely see where you are coming from and have done some research on the subject of Gods unconditional love myself. "It is important to note that God’s love is a love that initiates; it is never a response. That is precisely what makes it unconditional. If God’s love were conditional, then we would have to do something to earn or merit it. We would have to somehow appease His wrath and cleanse ourselves of our sin before God would be able to love us. But that is not the biblical message. The biblical message-the gospel-is that God, motivated by love, moved unconditionally to save His people from their sin." This is where I was coming from in my comment and that makes sense to me. That we don't have to do anything before God loved us enough to send his son to die for our sins.
I also strive to love unconditionally like God. If I based my love only on what my husband does or doesn't do, I would be long gone! I love him despite his flaws. We work through our problems and I stay because I choose to love him beyond my feelings.
Jake Sanders I don’t think it’s possible for humans to love unconditionally, just like it’s not possible for us to be completely without sin. It’s just in our nature. But as Christians we should at least strive to be more like God and ask for the Holy Spirits help in the areas that we fall short. I know you’re not trying to give me a hard time, no worries at all!
Yes, I agree. I don’t go to church regularly. I don’t read my Bible everyday. When I pray, I don’t feel him. Even when I go through stuff, I get in his way.
Kalani Price hi love! God is more concerned with us having faith in him rather than seeking a feeling that we get from worship. I just made a video on how you can grow spiritually if you’d like to check it out. Praying for you!
I thought I would share this with you because I think it’s amazing! I was praying yesterday and really just being raw with God. I prayed about how I don’t feel him anymore and how I don’t feel like he loves me anymore and then this morning I woke up to this video! 💕amazing!
Amilia sanchez can’t tell you how many times that has happened to me. it cannot be coincidence, it’s impossible. one or two times maybe, but not 100s of times... that’s God!
I have felt like this too many times. Sometimes I even question myself do I have the Holy Spirit inside. I am being honest here 😐 thanks for this video Becka. I also think that love is a choice and recently I realized strongly that love isn't selfish 💜
You know, I always scoff a little when people say, “God has been telling me...” . But I realized that this is what happens when you have a relationship with somebody, you talk to them. You know them and you know their character. You listen to them. I need to listen to God, I need to let Him guide me. I pray for God to help me and to lead me and to use me and nothing happens. I want to have a relationship with God, I think I do. I know I don’t have to, “feel His presence” all the time to have a relationship with Him but I feel like me being a better witness to Christ would be what He wants but I don’t notice a change in my life. Perhaps I need to try to change to the best of my ability as well? I don’t know, I try to change and I keep falling back into the same sins and same apathy and same unsympathetic attitude and I don’t want it anymore. I want God, I just don’t know how to get Him. What can I do?
I've felt like this sometimes and ended up just completely turning a blind eye to God. I started doing some research bc I know I need God in my life even tho I necessarily don't feel Him currently. What I have found in my research, readinf Ethan Renoe is "let ur heart follow ur mind." Trying harder to the best of my ability has honestly got me no whr and I end up falling into the same habits. What then u should do is create first an image of an advanced version of urself worth ur admiration and in that version of urself add God. Add that the person, the better version of u, has a relationship with God. Now referring back to ur heart following ur mind, Renoe was saying in this generation we tend to look for an emotional substance in God but rather than looking for this, we should look for knowledge and depth of God. He says "the things u fill ur head with will eventually trickle down into ur heart." So basically, take a moment each day to ask God into ur life. Try to find out about God and know more about His Word and teachings and the more of you know, the more you will come to the emotional aspect. It is also important to know u will not always feel Him bc we r so wrapped up in the world, but know that He is thr even tho we dont feel him thr.
ThatOneChristian: If You have Been Called ( John 6:44 ) That's His Voice Tugging on Your Heart, Ask Forgiveness, If He Answers You Will be Washed by The Blood of The Lamb ( Revelation1:5 ) You Will be Baptized with The Holy Ghost ( Mark 1:8 ) You Will be Changed ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ) You Will Know Impossible Not to Know. Tell Others what Christ has Done in Your Life and Tell Them how to be Saved. Read The Bible, Daily. No Other Books or Commentaries, The Spirit Will Teach and Guide You as You Study.
Read and read the Bible. It sounds so simple, but it will do so much. When you can't hear God, but you want to open the Bible. If you say you can't hear God, but your Bible is closed, you're not trying hard enough - you don't want him enough. "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13. Through the Bible’s countless stories, it is evident that God frequently communicates with us beyond verbally. Ways like: • Internal Intuition (like a sense of peace over a situation) •Through dreams and visions (e.g. Daniel, Peter, Paul, etc.) •Circumstance (opportunities opening and doors closing) •Through the wisdom, concern and advice of others Scripture makes clear that God speaks to us in innumerable creative ways. So why are we limiting ourselves to just an audible voice? In your prayer time today: •Take a Posture of Preparation and say “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” • Ask God to give you an Attitude of Attentiveness, “Lord, make my heart willing to hear You.” • Cultivate a heart that believes in the Possible Impossible, “Lord, teach me to rely on Your miracle power.” • Finally, ask God for the ears to Hear “Every moment and everywhere I go, Lord, allow me the privilege to hear You and the courage to obey Your command.”
Well, I really need to feel it right now. I'm alone, completely lost, walking around in a fog of darkness. Something tells me that you can never be "too needy" with your heavenly father and creator, or your savior. You know, and the promised comfortor.
I’ve been going through some difficulty connecting with God lately because of things happening in my life but this video put me back on track in my faith journey!
This is so true. And it's because feelings are not the truth. They are just feelings! God is/has the truth. And also, it's when we follow our feelings instead of God that we leave our spouse for someone else, or eat or drink too much, for example. But it's not strange, cause in our society today we kind of learn that our feelings are the truth....
Great analogy. I really needed to hear this. I've been in a quiet season with the Lord, but I know he's still there and that I just need to continue to be obedient and steadfast.
Reading these comments about how God has touched so many people by teaching them a lesson in His ABSENCE is crazy inspiring. Especially the ones that say this video was that lesson!
I use to feel God all the time when I was still living in Africa... such a close connection now I don't feel him at all. It felt like someone was always on my right side
I just want to post it, if you don't mind. I'm still quite young. Too young to understand many things. I want to believe, but sometimes it's hard for me. Too many doubts, internet full of people, who want to stop other from believing... It's getting me away and I doubt more. Once, I saw a video full of bad comments about how God doesn't exist, Bible is fictions and other bad things. I didn't wanted to listen to it, but doubt came. I was struggling to believe, but then I saw video. Something similiar to yours(your helped me too, of course.). I just watched this short video and doubts started to dissapear. I ended with tears in eyes and this night I felt closer to God than anytime. It felt so good. Sorry for mistakes. English is not my first language. I just want to let you know that you should take your time, pray and read Bible and soon you will feel it. I'm not good into saying these type of things, but you have to trust.
I'm in that phase of my life right now. Life has been distracting with school, politics, moving to another country and I just feel like my desires have been changing and I feel disconnected from him. I haven't been reading my bible or praying that much lately and going back into old habits but thank you for giving me hope that he's there for me no matter how I feel or what in going through!!
Me and my boyfriend got to the place we broke up and started seeing other people and then God got ahold of both of us and pulled us back to Him and then He brought us together and we know now love is a choice and God is at the center of it all! ❤️ love your videos!!!
I feel like I forgot why I fell in love with Christianity until this video. It was all because of the theology, how beautiful the story was, discovering the personhood of God and the joy of the evidence pointing towards Jesus. In the beginning, I could easily feel him in the room with me and my heart would over flow with joy but for years I’ve abandoned my original search and got caught up in riding on everyone else’s love for God. I try to force myself into feeling something and beg God with his presence yet that wasn’t why I came to Christ in the first place. While I find it hard lately to "Ask, Seek and Knock" I feel like it’s going to be a lot easier after watching this video so Thank you!
Hey Becca, I went back now and watch this video because for the last month's I've struggled up and down with doubts and confusion. I've always known that God is with me, that he loves me and that I am forgiven but when feelings of discouragement come I am overwhelmed and become unsure of what to do. This video really showed me that no matter what I feel, what I think, what I want or anything else God has my back and if I trust him and lean on him he will sustain me. He will never permit the righteous to be Moved. Paraphrased psalm 55:22. Thank you Becca God is really using you. Even though we are not perfect God is and we are being made perfect in his likeness. Love you!
I feel God very close when I am spending time with him alone more than when I am with a group of people or at church. Even worshipping on my own at home I do more than worshipping at churchm. It feels really special!
Thanks for posting this, I just saw a video earlier today where a couple both said that "love is a feeling." I had a conversation with my significant other earlier today where I brought up how glad I am to no longer be in that "new"" stage where you have the butterflies and excitement. I am thankful to be far enough into my relationship where we actually both love each other and choose to do so without our love being based on feelings (which come and go.)
I was just watching your videos and God is working through them! I'm battling anxiety and have asked for prayer many times and I ask again for prayer and if you want me to pray for you too, you can leave a comment !
I need to start reading the Bible again I've been sick latley and just on the mend now so now I can start again.. I've been feeling God with me every day xx bless you all
This is so good. I've had this in my watch later videos for a while, and I accidentally clicked on it right now and knew not to click away. This is something I've been struggling with not only with God but with my marriage. Being confused as to why I don't feel god anymore, and being confused as to why those feelings aren't there anymore in my marriage ! Having to go against those strong feelings of not wanting to show love to my husband when I think he doesn't deserve it, and having to fight against the laziness of staying in my word and praying. Recently me and my husband have been going through a lot, we're better now but the devil really knows what to whisper to make me want to leave ! Thank God I didn't because not listening to the lies really changed the way I react. I could have made the decision to tell my husband to leave and not come back to me and my daughter, but I couldn't get out of my head the devil's motives and purpose ! I let him stay instead of throwing him out and the next morning I had the worst sleep paralysis/nightmare ever ! Saw my husband levatating off the bed and could hear my daughter choking in the background but couldn't move, I could only hold on tightly to my husband's arm. Later in the day I ran on the treadmill while reading my word and God let me know that the devil was PISSED that I didn't tell my husband to leave that night. I got chills after hearing that. It's made me since then to always think before I do anything and to just remember why I'm here and why god made marriage so sacred in the first place. Anyways this is already so long but thank you for uploading this ! Funny little thing too my name's Becca 😂 Jesus continue to bless you ! 💕
Wow! God showed me this video yesterday. I watched some of it but then I ignored it because I felt his presence and everything so I thought I was fine, which I was at the moment. But then today I didn’t feel his presence at all. I told myself that he is still always there but my feelings just kept on saying no he’s not. I know god is always ahead of me and that he has a plan for me so that’s why he put the video here yesterday. I watched this whole video today and I just wanted to say thank you so so so much! You’re so helpful and such a light! Thank you. God bless you. 💜
You made a good point @FarawayDistance. I don’t feel God whenever I pray, I don’t read my Bible as often as I should. I get in his way when I go through stuff, I’m like very controlling and want to handle the situations myself. Even if that person has wronged me, I don’t let God take care of it. I automatically want to get back at them.I am a Christian but I have a struggle with putting Him in front of everything. To be honest, I get lazy when it comes to reading my Bible. I used to love reading it, and not feel lazy. But it usually feels like a chore ( or it’s just me thinking it is.)
Kalani Price pray for Jesus to intervene. those feelings are human, let the Lord have his way in you. He can change those feelings into good. Blessings to you girl!
All Christian's have struggled with this at one point or another. Thanks for making this video, it was profound and truth based. I recently found your channel and am loving the content, it is very encouraging to my soul!
Yeah, i have been thinking that love is a choise recently, and it gives me piece that it's fine not to "feel" love all the time, thanks for your video!!! I really like listening your voice. It's beautiful
Two years later I feel like you made this video for me. I've never heard of you before but will be watching you now. Lord knows I need all the help I can get and you have a gift. God bless you sweet girl ❤🙏
I've fallen to the wayside on a daily scripture reading over the past couple months because nothing I was reading was resonating with me like it had in the past. I needed this. Thanks.
You do not know how much I needed this right now!! This is such a weight off my shoulders. I have been feeling so lost not feeling His presence and feeling guilty for it like I am doing something wrong. I felt like it was my punishment or fault because I should be doing more to feel His beautiful presence. Now I should and can always do more for God, but I know that it is normal not to always feel Him when He is there. Thank you so much for this video!! You are one of my gifts from God!! God bless! ❤️❤️
Thank you very much Becca for your channel, I personaly found every video about a current season of my life and I'm truly grateful for this, God is speaking to us no matter what because he's everywhere and he still working in our lives. I pray in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus, that every who we'll see this comment or this video will be filled by God's spirit and power. God got a plan for our lives and his timing is perfect, so you don't have to worry about something, OUR GOD IS ABLE !! I LOVE YOU ALL GOD BLESS
I'm so blessed that God has lead me to your channel! Thank you so much Becca! Love your personality, message, the way you have with words and just love every single thing about your channel. You are such a beautiful soul ♥ P.S I'm a teacher as well so I understand completely how responsible & demanding this job is. But yet no matter that you film videos to help others. What an inspiration you are! ♥ May God bless you!
I loved this so so much. So many times I get frustrated because I am not excited about God or not excited to get in the Word. But every time I do, I am so satisfied and filled with joy. I love all of your videos!
So helpful, I am currently in that stage of not feeling God or pulling away from God and it's been a struggle. This video really helped to put things into a new light & perspective for me so thank you. I need to remember that He is always there even when it seems like He's not and that He still loves me despite the fact that I feel so far away from Him ❤️ Thank you for showing me that I need to continue to seek after Him & lay my life down for Him even when I don't feel His presence. Love you so much Becca, my prayers go towards all that you do in life 💕
Yeah, most times I don't feel like reading my bible or maintaining my relationship with God in other ways. I may also be tempted to blame that on certain factors or whatever else, but I don't let it pass. I remember that I would feel bored with some things that are centered around God and Jesus like praise and worship music, but thankfully I could never deny their existence or the good he's done for us among many others.
This may be over - said, but this video really spoke to me. I always forget these very crucial points you put across, and it helps so much to have a beautiful reminder. I’m not even a Christian myself but I watch your videos all the time and I absolutely love your words! They have such a big impact on me and always refresh my soul after carrying such heavy burdens, and remembering these immanent truths about God lightens the weight and makes me truly happy. You have a beautiful heart, I mean that sincerely, God bless you and keep making these videos.
Great video! And you're not wrong, you're 100% right! People should define love the way Chip Ingram does, love is, giving someone something when they need it the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost. And I know what you mean by not feeling God, I have felt that way for a while now. But I've been trying to find him in the little things and just really thinking about how amazing He is! Thank you for your inspire videos! Keep up the amazing work!
Wow Becca, thank you so much! I've been in such a weird, isolated, sad season, and I felt like I was a bad Christian, that I was distant from God, and I began doubting. But thank you for encoring me and refreshing my spirit!! God Bless you, thank you :)
I’m so glad I found your channel! You’re such an inspiration to me. I also just learned your a teacher lol. I’m new to your videos but this videos is so true!! In a past relationship I said this to my boyfriend and he didn’t believe me and we are no longer together for more than one reason but I love this so much this is so true! I also am going to watch your classroom video because I used to want to do nursing but I think I want to teach instead because I love working with kids. Thank you so much!
i was just worrying about this tonight. and then boom: in my recommendations. i went to subscribe but it turned out that i already was! love this video ❤️
As you've kind of mentioned in another video we must learn to completely trust God which means when nothing makes sense we trust Him no matter what we are going through. After all He paid for our eternal salvation not for us to have continual happiness here on earth. Jesus warned us that while we still live on earth that we will have tribulation, but He also gave us hope in that He said He would go and prepare a place for us and that when He comes again He would receive us into Himself. Our hope is not to be in this life but in the life to come. Thanks for the encouragement.
Once you uploaded I had to click right away, I’m so happy for you about being a teacher and thank you for this video!💙🙏🏽I’ve lately been feeling the same way and just an hour or so ago god just spoke to me and said read the word.(at first I was like uh wait but I’m reading my other book) then I just felt like god said no right now! And I noticed I was putting other things before god and knowing how god gets jealous(in a good way)
Are you kidding me with this video? Get outttt ITS AMAZING "Love is much more than a feeling, love is a decision." This is the BEST advice I have heard today. I'll be thinking about it all week. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! I can totally see the holy spirit in you! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video Becca! I’ve been watching your videos for a while I just never comment or anything. I’ve been going through a rough season in my life right now. My grandfathers life is slowly fading. He has pneumonia and now his kidneys are failing, he has just a few days to live. It’s just been hard on my family with trying to see him since he lives in a different state and figuring out how to pay for plane tickets for the funeral. He does know the Lord thankfully and soon he will be with Jesus forever without pain and suffering. This video helped me remember that even though I’m going through this God is with me always and will comfort me in this hard time. Thank you for making videos that help so many people. Your great! ~ Rachele ~
Ahh that's so so hard...I went through that with my grandpa just a few months ago so I totally understand what you're going through. My heart goes out to you...keep talking to God about it every day, and really really lean on Him! You are loved!!
Just watched this because it's what I'm going through and it was so encouraging! I've just had a whole year of not feeling God very much at all, and I kept praying and reading the Bible because I knew deep within me that it was worth it and it meant something even though I couldn't see it. And then it seemed like every time I was encouraged, something else happened to destroy that, which got so discouraging, but anyway, I'm still kinda in that, and it was good to listen to this video, to see outside confirmation that I am still going the right direction.
Thank you so much for this video! It spoke to me on so many levels. I guess I never realized that it starts with humbling myself. I think in order to have good, God-centered relationships with others I need to work on my relationship with God first! Thank you so much for this video again! I also have that book by Jefferson and Alyssa Bethke! It is fantastic and helps me see what love really is as well as what it isn't according to what God says. If anyone is reading this I strongly suggest that book as well as just doing a subject study on "Love" throughout the Bible! You will be amazed! I did this for just a month and it was far to short. This video shows me how much I miss my time with God! We all need reminders, but just remember if you make one step towards God he will be right there no matter how far you may have strayed from him in your daily lives and busy schedules!
Hello it is Me Again. Yesterday I watched your video for the first time I watched both video,s . You are wise in so many ways and sincere. I truly got something from you for me answer to pray. You mentioned the show The Chosen . You Lead Me to that Thank You Very Much. BLESS YOU.
I love you! Your videos always leave me speechless! I would love it if you did a video on your thoughts about being a teacher and advice for new teachers.(I'm just starting my journey on becoming one...wish me good luck! Also, sorry for my English; I'm from Greece)God bless you!!😊💘
Thanks for this. Honesty , humility and using your own experiences to teach others about an important topic. I know I needed to hear this. Thanks again.
*this video is spot on Becca, love it. So true that music and loud stuff can make us feel emotions, and how God is there even when we don't "feel" Him. Lovely video by a lovely person, thank you. God be with you* :)
I honestly need to work on this. I feel like sometimes I try to base my relationship with God on feeling. I was just praying to God like "why don't I feel you? Why don't things feel the same?" But then watching this video really helped me. This is something I need to work on, and I'm going to pray about it. Thank you for making this video
Yes! Exactly! Amen, sister! P.S. I finally got my channel up on the miracles of God! Thank you again for your videos. I've said this before, but God gave me the mission through your videos!
What a video. Lately I’ve been having a lot of doubts about God lately. I’ve known Him my whole life. I know He’s been there for me. I’ve felt Him, as well as His peace and presence. But now because I keep hearing negative things about God because I tend to listen to what other people say, then the doubts start coming, I’m so doubtful of so many things that it’s ridiculous, but doubting God...I know from the bottom of my heart that I believe in him, I want to believe him, but now it’s like my mind is trying to get me to not believe in Him and to stop once and for all. I feel so negative in my mind about everything. Is this the enemy attacking me? How could I deny something that I know that I’ve felt and seen? To even doubt or deny God would mean to doubt the very things about myself and about my life. I’ve just been so depressed lately, I’ve had doubts about so many things including myself, not just doubts about God. This Covid has really mentally made some of us weak..I just want to be me again, and to be confident in God and just be happy😞
I wanna make video like you, im superized. But im not good at english so i cant understand whole contents. Generally understood... haha particualy your talking speed is like full speed that i have every seen in my life. Anyway God bless you :)
Thank you for this video!! 💯 Because sometimes I do feel his presence so heavily upon me and it feel soooo wowww!! And then sometimes, days after days I ain't feel God, I know he will never leave me. But I wasn't feeling his presence anymore.. So thank you for this. Thank you so very much for this video. And I have to THANKED Jesus for allowing me to come across this video, because im very new to your channel. I subbed less than 5 mins ago. And I didn't even type this up. I was watching a Bible study video and then I saw this video. I clicked and love and appreciated it! Thank you! 😢💯💯💯❤️❤️
“Even when I don’t feel that You’re working, and even when I don’t see that You’re working, You never stop, You never stop working” 🙌🏻
I’ve been feeling so lost lately and on top of that I haven’t felt like God was close, like He was with me. But hearing what you just said. It’s really helped me realise that I need to read my bible more, even when I don’t feel like it. You’ve helped me realise that even with God I need to work on my relationship with Him.
I needed this so much Becca, thank you! ❤️
Same
Being Louisa get a better bible than the Protestant one. Martin Luther removed several books when he started the reformed church. I’d recommend the Orthodox Bible as they have the most of the original bible.
Jeremiah Pitts the Protestant aka the fake church did yes. But the original church never did.
I’m feeling this exact way right now, I’ve always received the same answer and it never helped. I pray that this is something different that can open my eyes.
"This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ" (Jn 17,3)
(I hear the voice of the Divine Savior utter these words, then continue speaking saying :)
"Enter into the knowledge of the Eternal Truth: God. The, the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God in Three Persons. Together we work for the salvation of the whole world. Scriptures. They are God's testament. Do not trample on His testament. You are called to value what you have received as a gift. Many are wasting away from lack of knowledge of the Truth. You can know God more every day: by praying and loving. Prayer is not it is never too much, just like love. By praying more, you will reveal your love for God. Put no limits on prayer and love. Become spiritual and not material. Old man is dead, now you are new creatures of the Lord Remain spiritual, guided by the Holy Spirit and not by the spirit of the world. Renounce worldliness, appearance, materialism, and rise up to God. You will be more and more disheartened if you do not give up on all of this. and slaves to the mentality of this century, so devoid of wisdom. Accept suffering, because with suffering I come to visit you. No one can truly know the Eternal if he has not suffered first. It is the suffering that really brings us closer to the Lord. It is suffering that makes hearts open to God. With the Cross, God makes you His. Divine wisdom is not of this earth. Undress yourselves, undress yourselves, of the things of here below and put on the new dress of the whiteness of the soul. Become Mine in abandonment to My Heart ".
So true. We need to stop chasing feelings and let the Holy Spirit lead us. We need to base things off the Word of God not how we feel.
But it feels SO GOOD being slain in the spirit even though it's no where in the bible :S
Stop chasing feelings??? Aren’t we all trying to feel God?
As far as I know The Holy Spirit just brood Virgin Mary but now even men want to get pregnant or to be possessed, Yuck 🤢!
@@jadonharper1493 yes, but God has been teaching me this a lot recently. Yes it is amazing to feel God, but we cannot root our faith in feeling alone. For me it became an idol. I was like God let me feel You again, and I chased feeling. But my faith is not subject too feelings
@@HotelCharliHill what is your experience with that? because youre right its not biblical
Lately i havent been feeling God's presence and for this reason I've stopped praying and reading my bible. But now i realize how wrong i was to do such a thing!! My love with God shouldn't be based on feelings but in choice and faith. Woww this this video was for me, im soooo incredibly grateful Becca thank u for uploading this gem!!
ahh praise the Lord!!
@@FarAwayDistance Hey so I have a question, I am devoting my life to Christ, breaking sins hold on me in every area, currently, I am fasting from all self-entertaining electronics that are not for God... it's hard, and I am ending the hold of porn in my life. But what I need to know, and want to find out is it ok to read fiction with magic in it, or play video games with magic in it? I am a huge nerd and have grown up with this, but I have been confronted with this question more than once. I need to know from experienced Christians is it ok for this, I know God delights in all true things and all good things, does this include good characters in books or movies where magic is present? I have seen both sides but neither truly says if this is a sin or not. I grew up with stories like a journey to Atlantis, where they use the so-called magic and save many people, and go through a journey from selfish people to those who are there for others. Also stories like King Arthur, who used magic but was a hero, and Sir Galahad who was a virtuous night fighting the darkness and evil of that world that inspired Christian knights for hundreds of years. I know I can not rely on my own understanding but God's, but I see two contradicting points of view in the bible, where I believe paul says he delights in the truth of even confusion and pagan scholars, and that all things with truth in them are honoring to God for God is truth. I can not trust my own judgment here, I am biased and will go and do what I believe to be right, and my beliefs have been wrong before. All that I am is for God, and I try to honor him in all that I do, as long as I live I will fight Lucifer and his ways but is this really a step or trial that has to happen? I love God and will go through whatever trail to be a mature steadfast mature disciple in Christ, but this feels like a more one on one vow if it is a sin I will remove it from my life for good but if it is not even a sin then I should focus on more prevalent problems, and preach more rather than attack something that will not harm me spiritually.
classyt20f7 Ok, I am confused, I have heard three separate people quote scripture saying three different things about the magic in fiction. I am confused, I will remove this from my life if I need to, but is this what is require to not be of the world? From what I understand it is to avoid the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. To avoid the lust of the flesh I am seperating from porn, and all lustful pictures in my life, and fighting gluttony. Lust of the eyes is to avoid covering what others have, I am very content and do not want what the people have in these books. And the pride of life is to avoid the chears of people and the crowds, and avoid boasting of achievement or pride. What pride will I get from reading these books, what ambition for my life am I filling, what chearing? If I am understanding this right, God does not want to be of the world or be addicted to the things others are. I have separated from shooting and violent video games and no longer crave to play them. I pray daily and read 10 chapters a day of scripture and study. I have heard that the books themselves which contains magic is not sinful in itself, and a mature Christian can differentiate truth and falsities. What will these books do to harm my spiritual life, and my growth towards God and the community? I want to be closer to God if I need to burn the books I will, but I do not see how this is slowing my spiritual progression. If you can support your claim with scripture I would be happy to follow along, I go to a Christian university, and even they play video games, and even have a dnd group. They love God, and are not addicted to these things, being separate from the flesh does that mean even fiction as well? As far as I can see it can be a fun hobby, as long as all truth and good things are devoted and thank God for than it is good virtues and deeds done by false character can be devoted to God for he is the truth and the love right?
Feelings are temporary, so we can't base or choices and relationships on our feelings. We think that if we don't feel God, we don't feel like praying or reading the Bible, we are not christian anymore, we have lost faith and God isn't working on us anymore. But it's not. Our relationship with God or with a friend or a boyfriend isn't a feeling, is a daily choice and a lot of work.
Love is not a feeling. wow. God is also not a feeling.
i have been feeling so disappointed in myself lately. so much that i felt like i couldn't step in God's presence anymore. Like Moses when he was in God's presence. It's a weird place to be in, looking for God but almost being too ashamed to even approach God. Seeing that this state of mind is only a shift for the worse, though. Negative thoughts coming up, thoughts of not being worthy enough, and thoughts of sin.
thank you so so so much for putting those raw & vulnerable thoughts out there. i pray for a close relationship to God, for full trust, full guidance, full obedience 🙏🏻🤍
Been married over 20 years. Love is not a feeling- « falling in love IS the feeling » that feeling ebbs and flows in seasons.
I’ve been in a ‘dry season’ for a while. This video really did help me. I’m going to strive and put God first more. Thanks Becca for making this video! 💗
Ahh I'm so glad it helped you!!
I don't feel His presence for 4 months.
Anything I can do?
Off topic but her skin is so clean and beautiful!!
I literally appreciate this so much because I felt the complete opposite yesterday! So thank you so much for the encouragement!
9:42 Reminds me of something I have to do all the time.
"Lord humble me before you that I may be humble before others."
It's so important to be humble before Him!
"Everyday putting Him before yourself: that's what a relationship with God is" wow x
Anyone else lack a group that centers God?
Yes! sthg I really need, especially as a teen
@@fisherofmen489 yeah😭
Fisher of men I have a Instagram group with teenage Christians for us to talk and stuff if you would like I will add you
@@donnacomrie888 hi pls add me :
@@donnacomrie888 Will you add me my ig is @trinity_lashae6
Totally understand that you have other responsibilities besides RUclips! Love is absolutely a choice! Our feelings come and go but we must choose to love as Jesus does, unconditionally. I like how you applied this to our relationship with God too. Sometimes we don’t feel like reading our bibles or praying or going to church but we know that when we stop doing those things, we slowly slip back into our old ways and let the world take hold.
I absolutely see where you are coming from and have done some research on the subject of Gods unconditional love myself. "It is important to note that God’s love is a love that initiates; it is never a response. That is precisely what makes it unconditional. If God’s love were conditional, then we would have to do something to earn or merit it. We would have to somehow appease His wrath and cleanse ourselves of our sin before God would be able to love us. But that is not the biblical message. The biblical message-the gospel-is that God, motivated by love, moved unconditionally to save His people from their sin."
This is where I was coming from in my comment and that makes sense to me. That we don't have to do anything before God loved us enough to send his son to die for our sins.
I also strive to love unconditionally like God. If I based my love only on what my husband does or doesn't do, I would be long gone! I love him despite his flaws. We work through our problems and I stay because I choose to love him beyond my feelings.
Jake Sanders I don’t think it’s possible for humans to love unconditionally, just like it’s not possible for us to be completely without sin. It’s just in our nature. But as Christians we should at least strive to be more like God and ask for the Holy Spirits help in the areas that we fall short. I know you’re not trying to give me a hard time, no worries at all!
Yes, I agree. I don’t go to church regularly. I don’t read my Bible everyday. When I pray, I don’t feel him. Even when I go through stuff, I get in his way.
Kalani Price hi love! God is more concerned with us having faith in him rather than seeking a feeling that we get from worship. I just made a video on how you can grow spiritually if you’d like to check it out. Praying for you!
I thought I would share this with you because I think it’s amazing! I was praying yesterday and really just being raw with God. I prayed about how I don’t feel him anymore and how I don’t feel like he loves me anymore and then this morning I woke up to this video! 💕amazing!
Amilia sanchez can’t tell you how many times that has happened to me. it cannot be coincidence, it’s impossible. one or two times maybe, but not 100s of times... that’s God!
Thanks for sharing! Hearing how He's answered your prayers makes tears of joy well up in my eyes. Our God is great!
I have felt like this too many times. Sometimes I even question myself do I have the Holy Spirit inside. I am being honest here 😐 thanks for this video Becka. I also think that love is a choice and recently I realized strongly that love isn't selfish 💜
This is so helpful. I was so depressed about not feeling God's presence till this reality check!!
You know, I always scoff a little when people say, “God has been telling me...” . But I realized that this is what happens when you have a relationship with somebody, you talk to them. You know them and you know their character. You listen to them. I need to listen to God, I need to let Him guide me. I pray for God to help me and to lead me and to use me and nothing happens. I want to have a relationship with God, I think I do. I know I don’t have to, “feel His presence” all the time to have a relationship with Him but I feel like me being a better witness to Christ would be what He wants but I don’t notice a change in my life. Perhaps I need to try to change to the best of my ability as well? I don’t know, I try to change and I keep falling back into the same sins and same apathy and same unsympathetic attitude and I don’t want it anymore. I want God, I just don’t know how to get Him. What can I do?
I've felt like this sometimes and ended up just completely turning a blind eye to God. I started doing some research bc I know I need God in my life even tho I necessarily don't feel Him currently.
What I have found in my research, readinf Ethan Renoe is "let ur heart follow ur mind." Trying harder to the best of my ability has honestly got me no whr and I end up falling into the same habits. What then u should do is create first an image of an advanced version of urself worth ur admiration and in that version of urself add God. Add that the person, the better version of u, has a relationship with God. Now referring back to ur heart following ur mind, Renoe was saying in this generation we tend to look for an emotional substance in God but rather than looking for this, we should look for knowledge and depth of God. He says "the things u fill ur head with will eventually trickle down into ur heart." So basically, take a moment each day to ask God into ur life. Try to find out about God and know more about His Word and teachings and the more of you know, the more you will come to the emotional aspect. It is also important to know u will not always feel Him bc we r so wrapped up in the world, but know that He is thr even tho we dont feel him thr.
ThatOneChristian: If You have Been Called ( John 6:44 ) That's His Voice Tugging on Your Heart, Ask Forgiveness, If He Answers You Will be Washed by The Blood of The Lamb ( Revelation1:5 ) You Will be Baptized with The Holy Ghost ( Mark 1:8 ) You Will be Changed ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ) You Will Know Impossible Not to Know. Tell Others what Christ has Done in Your Life and Tell Them how to be Saved. Read The Bible, Daily. No Other Books or Commentaries, The Spirit Will Teach and Guide You as You Study.
Read and read the Bible. It sounds so simple, but it will do so much. When you can't hear God, but you want to open the Bible. If you say you can't hear God, but your Bible is closed, you're not trying hard enough - you don't want him enough. "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13.
Through the Bible’s countless stories, it is evident that God frequently communicates with us beyond verbally. Ways like:
• Internal Intuition (like a sense of peace over a situation)
•Through dreams and visions (e.g. Daniel, Peter, Paul, etc.)
•Circumstance (opportunities opening and doors closing)
•Through the wisdom, concern and advice of others
Scripture makes clear that God speaks to us in innumerable creative ways. So why are we limiting ourselves to just an audible voice?
In your prayer time today:
•Take a Posture of Preparation and say “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
• Ask God to give you an Attitude of Attentiveness, “Lord, make my heart willing to hear You.”
• Cultivate a heart that believes in the Possible Impossible, “Lord, teach me to rely on Your miracle power.”
• Finally, ask God for the ears to Hear “Every moment and everywhere I go, Lord, allow me the privilege to hear You and the courage to obey Your command.”
Wowwww, you explained it so well! What a revelation, Becca!
Christina Dimidenko love your profile pic
Thank you SO much!!!
@@blondie4lyfe245 thank you! I Know, I love it too!!
Well, I really need to feel it right now. I'm alone, completely lost, walking around in a fog of darkness. Something tells me that you can never be "too needy" with your heavenly father and creator, or your savior. You know, and the promised comfortor.
I’ve been going through some difficulty connecting with God lately because of things happening in my life but this video put me back on track in my faith journey!
This is so true. And it's because feelings are not the truth. They are just feelings! God is/has the truth. And also, it's when we follow our feelings instead of God that we leave our spouse for someone else, or eat or drink too much, for example. But it's not strange, cause in our society today we kind of learn that our feelings are the truth....
Great analogy. I really needed to hear this. I've been in a quiet season with the Lord, but I know he's still there and that I just need to continue to be obedient and steadfast.
thank you..this is what my Daughter needs to hear at the moment as she said she can't feel God anymore..
tears were streaming down my face. I know this video is old, but it is a wonderful reminder for all of us ❤️❤️
Reading these comments about how God has touched so many people by teaching them a lesson in His ABSENCE is crazy inspiring. Especially the ones that say this video was that lesson!
10/10 recommend Here Again by Elevation Worship
Karina Vindiola such a good song.
I love that “love is not a feeling but a choice to put someone else before yourself”!!!!
I'm a new subscriber! Thank you so much for your awesome videos. God bless you! And congrats on being a teacher! You rock girl!
so happy to have you here!
Me too, I'm new here too.
I use to feel God all the time when I was still living in Africa... such a close connection now I don't feel him at all. It felt like someone was always on my right side
I just want to post it, if you don't mind.
I'm still quite young. Too young to understand many things. I want to believe, but sometimes it's hard for me. Too many doubts, internet full of people, who want to stop other from believing... It's getting me away and I doubt more. Once, I saw a video full of bad comments about how God doesn't exist, Bible is fictions and other bad things. I didn't wanted to listen to it, but doubt came. I was struggling to believe, but then I saw video. Something similiar to yours(your helped me too, of course.). I just watched this short video and doubts started to dissapear. I ended with tears in eyes and this night I felt closer to God than anytime. It felt so good.
Sorry for mistakes. English is not my first language. I just want to let you know that you should take your time, pray and read Bible and soon you will feel it. I'm not good into saying these type of things, but you have to trust.
I'm in that phase of my life right now. Life has been distracting with school, politics, moving to another country and I just feel like my desires have been changing and I feel disconnected from him. I haven't been reading my bible or praying that much lately and going back into old habits but thank you for giving me hope that he's there for me no matter how I feel or what in going through!!
Me and my boyfriend got to the place we broke up and started seeing other people and then God got ahold of both of us and pulled us back to Him and then He brought us together and we know now love is a choice and God is at the center of it all! ❤️ love your videos!!!
I feel like I forgot why I fell in love with Christianity until this video. It was all because of the theology, how beautiful the story was, discovering the personhood of God and the joy of the evidence pointing towards Jesus. In the beginning, I could easily feel him in the room with me and my heart would over flow with joy but for years I’ve abandoned my original search and got caught up in riding on everyone else’s love for God. I try to force myself into feeling something and beg God with his presence yet that wasn’t why I came to Christ in the first place. While I find it hard lately to "Ask, Seek and Knock" I feel like it’s going to be a lot easier after watching this video so Thank you!
"Not at 2 in the morning anymore"
*watches this video at 2:41am*
Hey Becca, I went back now and watch this video because for the last month's I've struggled up and down with doubts and confusion. I've always known that God is with me, that he loves me and that I am forgiven but when feelings of discouragement come I am overwhelmed and become unsure of what to do. This video really showed me that no matter what I feel, what I think, what I want or anything else God has my back and if I trust him and lean on him he will sustain me. He will never permit the righteous to be Moved. Paraphrased psalm 55:22.
Thank you Becca God is really using you. Even though we are not perfect God is and we are being made perfect in his likeness.
Love you!
I feel God very close when I am spending time with him alone more than when I am with a group of people or at church. Even worshipping on my own at home I do more than worshipping at churchm. It feels really special!
Thanks for posting this, I just saw a video earlier today where a couple both said that "love is a feeling." I had a conversation with my significant other earlier today where I brought up how glad I am to no longer be in that "new"" stage where you have the butterflies and excitement. I am thankful to be far enough into my relationship where we actually both love each other and choose to do so without our love being based on feelings (which come and go.)
Wow wow wow I love this comment!
I was just watching your videos and God is working through them!
I'm battling anxiety and have asked for prayer many times and I ask again for prayer and if you want me to pray for you too, you can leave a comment !
I'm sorry that you are battling anxiety. I will keep you in my prayers!
Morning Exercise specifically running helped with my anxiety. And gladly I will pray for you :)
I battle anxiety too I'll pray for you! Please pray for me too.
I will pray for you. And could you pray for me?
@@haileyvause5782 Ok, i will! Thank you
I need to start reading the Bible again I've been sick latley and just on the mend now so now I can start again.. I've been feeling God with me every day xx bless you all
I'm really struggling with this so I am so grateful that you uploaded this. Thank you Becca
This is so good. I've had this in my watch later videos for a while, and I accidentally clicked on it right now and knew not to click away. This is something I've been struggling with not only with God but with my marriage. Being confused as to why I don't feel god anymore, and being confused as to why those feelings aren't there anymore in my marriage ! Having to go against those strong feelings of not wanting to show love to my husband when I think he doesn't deserve it, and having to fight against the laziness of staying in my word and praying. Recently me and my husband have been going through a lot, we're better now but the devil really knows what to whisper to make me want to leave ! Thank God I didn't because not listening to the lies really changed the way I react. I could have made the decision to tell my husband to leave and not come back to me and my daughter, but I couldn't get out of my head the devil's motives and purpose ! I let him stay instead of throwing him out and the next morning I had the worst sleep paralysis/nightmare ever ! Saw my husband levatating off the bed and could hear my daughter choking in the background but couldn't move, I could only hold on tightly to my husband's arm. Later in the day I ran on the treadmill while reading my word and God let me know that the devil was PISSED that I didn't tell my husband to leave that night. I got chills after hearing that. It's made me since then to always think before I do anything and to just remember why I'm here and why god made marriage so sacred in the first place. Anyways this is already so long but thank you for uploading this ! Funny little thing too my name's Becca 😂 Jesus continue to bless you ! 💕
Wow! God showed me this video yesterday. I watched some of it but then I ignored it because I felt his presence and everything so I thought I was fine, which I was at the moment. But then today I didn’t feel his presence at all. I told myself that he is still always there but my feelings just kept on saying no he’s not. I know god is always ahead of me and that he has a plan for me so that’s why he put the video here yesterday. I watched this whole video today and I just wanted to say thank you so so so much! You’re so helpful and such a light! Thank you. God bless you. 💜
You made a good point @FarawayDistance. I don’t feel God whenever I pray, I don’t read my Bible as often as I should. I get in his way when I go through stuff, I’m like very controlling and want to handle the situations myself. Even if that person has wronged me, I don’t let God take care of it. I automatically want to get back at them.I am a Christian but I have a struggle with putting Him in front of everything. To be honest, I get lazy when it comes to reading my Bible. I used to love reading it, and not feel lazy. But it usually feels like a chore ( or it’s just me thinking it is.)
Kalani Price pray for Jesus to intervene. those feelings are human, let the Lord have his way in you. He can change those feelings into good. Blessings to you girl!
I really need to remember to constantly humble myself before Him 💛 Thank you for such an honest and kind reminder!
All Christian's have struggled with this at one point or another. Thanks for making this video, it was profound and truth based. I recently found your channel and am loving the content, it is very encouraging to my soul!
Yeah, i have been thinking that love is a choise recently, and it gives me piece that it's fine not to "feel" love all the time, thanks for your video!!! I really like listening your voice. It's beautiful
Thank youuu, for reminding me again that I'm not lost and He's not too far from me. Glory to God!
So good and so true. Your wisdom is way beyond your years.
Thank you so much! All credit to God honestly.
Two years later I feel like you made this video for me. I've never heard of you before but will be watching you now. Lord knows I need all the help I can get and you have a gift. God bless you sweet girl ❤🙏
I hope God gives you strength and wisdom in teaching. Love your videos!!! Thank you for always making encouraging videos 😊
I've fallen to the wayside on a daily scripture reading over the past couple months because nothing I was reading was resonating with me like it had in the past. I needed this. Thanks.
You do not know how much I needed this right now!! This is such a weight off my shoulders. I have been feeling so lost not feeling His presence and feeling guilty for it like I am doing something wrong. I felt like it was my punishment or fault because I should be doing more to feel His beautiful presence. Now I should and can always do more for God, but I know that it is normal not to always feel Him when He is there. Thank you so much for this video!! You are one of my gifts from God!! God bless! ❤️❤️
Thank you. This is absolutely beautiful and so true. God is always with me, even if I don't feel Him. It's not a feeling, but it's an action 💕🙏
Thank you very much Becca for your channel, I personaly found every video about a current season of my life and I'm truly grateful for this, God is speaking to us no matter what because he's everywhere and he still working in our lives. I pray in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus, that every who we'll see this comment or this video will be filled by God's spirit and power. God got a plan for our lives and his timing is perfect, so you don't have to worry about something, OUR GOD IS ABLE !! I LOVE YOU ALL
GOD BLESS
I'm so blessed that God has lead me to your channel! Thank you so much Becca! Love your personality, message, the way you have with words and just love every single thing about your channel. You are such a beautiful soul ♥
P.S I'm a teacher as well so I understand completely how responsible & demanding this job is. But yet no matter that you film videos to help others. What an inspiration you are! ♥ May God bless you!
I loved this so so much. So many times I get frustrated because I am not excited about God or not excited to get in the Word. But every time I do, I am so satisfied and filled with joy. I love all of your videos!
Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS, for listening and obeying God and letting Him use you. He knows I needed this SO MUCH. God bless you ❤️
So helpful, I am currently in that stage of not feeling God or pulling away from God and it's been a struggle. This video really helped to put things into a new light & perspective for me so thank you. I need to remember that He is always there even when it seems like He's not and that He still loves me despite the fact that I feel so far away from Him ❤️ Thank you for showing me that I need to continue to seek after Him & lay my life down for Him even when I don't feel His presence. Love you so much Becca, my prayers go towards all that you do in life 💕
Yeah, most times I don't feel like reading my bible or maintaining my relationship with God in other ways. I may also be tempted to blame that on certain factors or whatever else, but I don't let it pass. I remember that I would feel bored with some things that are centered around God and Jesus like praise and worship music, but thankfully I could never deny their existence or the good he's done for us among many others.
I only 12 and this video really helped me in my daily life thank you :)
Love ur videos 💕💘 God bless and hello from Los Angeles!💓
this literally brought me to tears. Thank you
Aww girl!!!
Waking up to see that you’ve posted before I go to school is the best feeling
This is the sweetest thing ever!!!
This may be over - said, but this video really spoke to me. I always forget these very crucial points you put across, and it helps so much to have a beautiful reminder. I’m not even a Christian myself but I watch your videos all the time and I absolutely love your words! They have such a big impact on me and always refresh my soul after carrying such heavy burdens, and remembering these immanent truths about God lightens the weight and makes me truly happy. You have a beautiful heart, I mean that sincerely, God bless you and keep making these videos.
Great video! And you're not wrong, you're 100% right! People should define love the way Chip Ingram does, love is, giving someone something when they need it the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost. And I know what you mean by not feeling God, I have felt that way for a while now. But I've been trying to find him in the little things and just really thinking about how amazing He is! Thank you for your inspire videos! Keep up the amazing work!
That is SO good!!! I love Chip but I had never heard that quote! I loveee that!
@@FarAwayDistance ok you just made my day! I never thought you would actually reply that's awesome! 😀
Wow Becca, thank you so much! I've been in such a weird, isolated, sad season, and I felt like I was a bad Christian, that I was distant from God, and I began doubting. But thank you for encoring me and refreshing my spirit!! God Bless you, thank you :)
I’m so glad I found your channel! You’re such an inspiration to me. I also just learned your a teacher lol. I’m new to your videos but this videos is so true!! In a past relationship I said this to my boyfriend and he didn’t believe me and we are no longer together for more than one reason but I love this so much this is so true! I also am going to watch your classroom video because I used to want to do nursing but I think I want to teach instead because I love working with kids. Thank you so much!
It’s really important that you know your own priorites and find someone who can encourage you and help you accomplish your goals and visa versa
Your video is still impacting people! ❤️
I really needed this!! Thank you GOD for working through Becca!
i’m currently feeling this way & i thank you so
much for this video! God has you in the palm of his hand your words have power!
Thank you for this reassuring video 🙌🏻
i was just worrying about this tonight. and then boom: in my recommendations. i went to subscribe but it turned out that i already was! love this video ❤️
As you've kind of mentioned in another video we must learn to completely trust God which means when nothing makes sense we trust Him no matter what we are going through. After all He paid for our eternal salvation not for us to have continual happiness here on earth. Jesus warned us that while we still live on earth that we will have tribulation, but He also gave us hope in that He said He would go and prepare a place for us and that when He comes again He would receive us into Himself. Our hope is not to be in this life but in the life to come. Thanks for the encouragement.
Once you uploaded I had to click right away, I’m so happy for you about being a teacher and thank you for this video!💙🙏🏽I’ve lately been feeling the same way and just an hour or so ago god just spoke to me and said read the word.(at first I was like uh wait but I’m reading my other book) then I just felt like god said no right now! And I noticed I was putting other things before god and knowing how god gets jealous(in a good way)
Aww!!!
Isn’t it amazing how God speaks to you? I think it’s cool how he can in so many ways!
Are you kidding me with this video? Get outttt ITS AMAZING "Love is much more than a feeling, love is a decision." This is the BEST advice I have heard today. I'll be thinking about it all week. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! I can totally see the holy spirit in you! ❤️
You're wonderful. Never think you're nothing. God loves you.
Thank you so much for this video Becca! I’ve been watching your videos for a while I just never comment or anything. I’ve been going through a rough season in my life right now. My grandfathers life is slowly fading. He has pneumonia and now his kidneys are failing, he has just a few days to live. It’s just been hard on my family with trying to see him since he lives in a different state and figuring out how to pay for plane tickets for the funeral. He does know the Lord thankfully and soon he will be with Jesus forever without pain and suffering. This video helped me remember that even though I’m going through this God is with me always and will comfort me in this hard time. Thank you for making videos that help so many people. Your great!

Ahh that's so so hard...I went through that with my grandpa just a few months ago so I totally understand what you're going through. My heart goes out to you...keep talking to God about it every day, and really really lean on Him! You are loved!!
FarAwayDistance thank you so much!
Love is something you can feel emanating from your heart, when you look in your childs eyes,
Just watched this because it's what I'm going through and it was so encouraging! I've just had a whole year of not feeling God very much at all, and I kept praying and reading the Bible because I knew deep within me that it was worth it and it meant something even though I couldn't see it. And then it seemed like every time I was encouraged, something else happened to destroy that, which got so discouraging, but anyway, I'm still kinda in that, and it was good to listen to this video, to see outside confirmation that I am still going the right direction.
I’ve been struggling with this so much! Thank you for listening to God and filming this video.
Thank you beautiful girl, I was just talking about God overwhelming me with His love. Thank you for making this though you were tired. I needed this
100% agree, love is a choice!!! It’s sacrificial even when we don’t feel like it.
I know this is an older video, but it has been a blessing and an answer to recent prayers. Thank you for doing God’s work!
This video is exactly what I've been needing.
Thank you so much for this video! It spoke to me on so many levels. I guess I never realized that it starts with humbling myself. I think in order to have good, God-centered relationships with others I need to work on my relationship with God first! Thank you so much for this video again! I also have that book by Jefferson and Alyssa Bethke! It is fantastic and helps me see what love really is as well as what it isn't according to what God says. If anyone is reading this I strongly suggest that book as well as just doing a subject study on "Love" throughout the Bible! You will be amazed! I did this for just a month and it was far to short. This video shows me how much I miss my time with God! We all need reminders, but just remember if you make one step towards God he will be right there no matter how far you may have strayed from him in your daily lives and busy schedules!
He is the center.
Hello it is Me Again. Yesterday I watched your video for the first time I watched both video,s . You are wise in so many ways and sincere. I truly got something from you for me answer to pray. You mentioned the show The Chosen . You Lead Me to that Thank You Very Much. BLESS YOU.
OMG!! this. helped me. this video of yours is what God used to tell me to keep praying.thankyou
I love Jefferson Bethke's videos!
I love you! Your videos always leave me speechless! I would love it if you did a video on your thoughts about being a teacher and advice for new teachers.(I'm just starting my journey on becoming one...wish me good luck! Also, sorry for my English; I'm from Greece)God bless you!!😊💘
Thanks for this. Honesty , humility and using your own experiences to teach others about an important topic. I know I needed to hear this. Thanks again.
*this video is spot on Becca, love it. So true that music and loud stuff can make us feel emotions, and how God is there even when we don't "feel" Him. Lovely video by a lovely person, thank you. God be with you* :)
I honestly need to work on this. I feel like sometimes I try to base my relationship with God on feeling. I was just praying to God like "why don't I feel you? Why don't things feel the same?" But then watching this video really helped me. This is something I need to work on, and I'm going to pray about it. Thank you for making this video
Yes! Exactly! Amen, sister!
P.S. I finally got my channel up on the miracles of God! Thank you again for your videos. I've said this before, but God gave me the mission through your videos!
Thank you for this video. If anyone is reading this, I really need to talk to someone about a question I have. It’s hurting so bad.
Salty and Lit Thank you so much. You are so kind. This means so much to. I pray that you have a wonderful life as well. ❤️
What a video. Lately I’ve been having a lot of doubts about God lately. I’ve known Him my whole life. I know He’s been there for me. I’ve felt Him, as well as His peace and presence. But now because I keep hearing negative things about God because I tend to listen to what other people say, then the doubts start coming, I’m so doubtful of so many things that it’s ridiculous, but doubting God...I know from the bottom of my heart that I believe in him, I want to believe him, but now it’s like my mind is trying to get me to not believe in Him and to stop once and for all. I feel so negative in my mind about everything. Is this the enemy attacking me? How could I deny something that I know that I’ve felt and seen? To even doubt or deny God would mean to doubt the very things about myself and about my life. I’ve just been so depressed lately, I’ve had doubts about so many things including myself, not just doubts about God. This Covid has really mentally made some of us weak..I just want to be me again, and to be confident in God and just be happy😞
Have you prayed about it? Tell God all that you feel and don't stress. He'll handle it if you give it to Him
I wanna make video like you, im superized. But im not good at english so i cant understand whole contents. Generally understood... haha particualy your talking speed is like full speed that i have every seen in my life. Anyway God bless you :)
미디움뉴스 keep practicing! Jesus loves you!! ♥️
Madison Mclendon Thank you !
Amen.I agree with you.So powerful
Thank you for this video!! 💯 Because sometimes I do feel his presence so heavily upon me and it feel soooo wowww!! And then sometimes, days after days I ain't feel God, I know he will never leave me. But I wasn't feeling his presence anymore.. So thank you for this. Thank you so very much for this video. And I have to THANKED Jesus for allowing me to come across this video, because im very new to your channel. I subbed less than 5 mins ago. And I didn't even type this up. I was watching a Bible study video and then I saw this video. I clicked and love and appreciated it! Thank you! 😢💯💯💯❤️❤️
