Oh, girrrrrrrrrl! Don't get me started on Stephanie! She has helped me grow in so many ways. I went through a period of being obsessed with her! The annointing on her life is fire!
"It took me a few years to realize that there is no door that the societal standard of beauty could shut that GOD could not open if that's the door HE has for me!!! - Stephanie Ike Whoa!!! This had me speaking in tongues! Thank you JESUS for this! And GOD bless this Vessel of Glory! Wow! No joke but this so blessed me! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's actually a blessing to be able to GAIN weight. Believe it or not, some people struggle to gain weight (genetics and/or health conditions etc). THAT can have the same affect on body image as Pastor Stephanie discussed. I am very much praying for supernatural weight gain! In the meantime, I pray that we ALL ask God to let us see us as He sees us, beautifully and wonderfully made 💙💙💙
Yes! Thank you for sharing this! It is our prayer that everyone in our community sees themselves as beautifully and wonderfully made by their Creator! 💜
True that, I am 24 and have been trying to hit 50 kgs for the past few years so that I can be able to donate blood. Not there yet, but I’m still trying.
Stephanie thank u for those words of acceptances. I think every little girl needs to hear this messages. God bless all of u ladies for being vessel of God's truth.
Listening to you ladies is so healing, you are all so relatable. Oh and I've been meaning to thank you for bringing Stephanie on board I love her so much!
I almost cried listening to her words. They really woke me up on the inside. God will open whatever door is meant for you. As hard as it is to believe sometimes, we serve a Father who sees us as His most prized possession. We only have to live up to everything He called us to be. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow! This was very powerful, and it really spoke to my heart. When I was very young, I was diagnosed with Scoliosis, and I remember crying out to God almost every night as a teenager asking why I had to look different because I wasn’t comfortable with my body. Unfortunately, there are still moments where I would allow myself to think that I can’t do or be something, but I know God will use me in any way he wants even if he changes societal views on whatever it is he has for me. Thank you for your transparency, Stephanie.
I struggled with my self esteem from age 4-25 🤯 and I developed a eating disorder in high school I’d over exercise and limit meals or skip them all together and I had a complex about my skin color, now at age 32 I’m finally free and can see my beauty I’m now at my most confidence I thank God for bringing me out God makes no mistakes
Wow, I love that each ladies bring a real authentic self and that we can relate because whatever we all are going through we are one and that is Jesus Christ. Love Stephanie Ike God bless all the ladies and everyone. God loves each and everyone of us. Stay safe.
Woooww…out of all of the Better Together TV episodes I’ve watched since being subscribed to the channel, all of a sudden this video FROM A YEAR AGO pops up for me to view… And the timing of this video being revealed to me is impeccable and shocking all at the same time!! I was just having a conversation with myself while looking in the mirror yesterday morning telling myself that I’m too skinny and look too sickly. I was playing back and actually verbalizing the words that SOMEONE ELSE spoke over me. I have severe body issues ever since being teased and mistreated as a child due to my weight and shape. I literally just purchased two large cases of Ensure drinks today so I can drink them in addition to my meals in attempt to gain weight. So to now hear Stephanie share her story of the past and how she began to love her body from a place of LOVE, it’s moving my whole entire spirit right now!! 😭😭 I need to learn to love my body image just the way God designed MINE to be!!! Wow, this message literally blessed my entire night and shifted my perspective. I must keep working to overcome my body shame 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you for this!!! 🙏🏾😭🙏🏾
Oh my goodness I just love her to Ms Stephanie Ike... I am mistaken I love Dianna and Stephanie and all of you. Praise the Lord for Ms. Stephanie you "The TRUTH will set you FREE!" God bless you all for Better Together.
Stephanie wow thank you so much for this word, is really speaking to me, I have experienced the same where by people and the world standards of beauty say you are not enough or worthy because your body especial here in African... Thank you so much for your testimony it will help so many girls out there
im not trying to fit someone elses standard of beauty, im only trying to fit the standard of what God has set for me: love justice, seek mercy, walk humbly with your God.
There's beauty in the truth of the Holy Spirit. As we grow in Yahusha Our Saviour, we will truly embody, "it is no longer I who live but Christ in me". The Father desires us to be without spot, blemish or wrinkle and longs to smile at His bride, after we endure until the end. As for the daughters of Zion, are we willing to truly allow the cleansing of the Holy Spirit within us? Are we willing to allow the Sword of the Spirit, to cut through all our vanities, insecurities, disobedience & pretence? Are we willing to truly offer our bodies and whole beings as a living sacrifice, to our sweetheart bridegroom, by truly loving Him and obeying His commandments? Let the garments of the world go: the makeup, weaves, hair extensions/dyes, tight clothes, nails etc. and dress yourself with the white garments of salvation! Will you let His love change you? The grace of YAHUSHA, touch every heart of stone, to be broken and replaced with His own ❤
Thank you for taking the time to make this comment. Please continue to restore his name (YAHUAH and Yahusha). My loved ones (family and friends) have not received his name and I search for answers, but it is beautiful to see others working on restoring YAHUAH's name. YAH bless.
For all the ladies on the video or anyone in the comments can you all kindly give me the reason why you wear wigs and make up? The makeup is Not a lot well for some and I’m sure you all might of prayed about this but what was the reason. I ask because I get ridiculed for wearing hair and makeup. The argument is I don’t love myself and don’t love how God made me. However my hair was always thin and it was fine and took long to grow so my mom would add extensions. At the age of 23 I was diagnosed with lupus had to do chemo at age 29. I did suffer hair loss and my hair became even more thin. It barely grew. My face of course is fat and may swell sometimes from prednisone. My skin is reddish puffy patchy dry at times and the scar from lupus rash is still there. I’m better now that I’m 32 but I see the damage to my skin as a result of what I went through. Then I wore makeup and I do now. But religious people ridicule me saying it’s ungodly and drawing attention to yourself. I told God I hate how my hair is it’s thin it’s fine and won’t grow that’s why I wear weaves. I pray over them too. God didn’t make my skin like this and my hair is like this cuz I still take meds. I told God if I’m vain for caring about my look then please heal me and take me off these meds. But nobody understands people just ridicule you and judge. I just want to know to gain a sense of peace and understanding
If this was true we wouln't have to lighten or bleach our skin , put blonde weave in our head or light contacts in our eyes just to be loved or accepted.
Can you guys do a video of clothing, hair and makeup for woman? as it seems in the Bible that woman should use their hair to cover their bodies. We live in a sexualize culture and woman are being judge by what they wear as Christians and non Christians.
Try being really beautiful and naturally thin and underweight and dainty. See how many people hate you then. I can't even go to the shops without nasty comments from jealous nasty people. If I wasn't saved and didn't have Jesus in my heart I would tell them to get lost. Also jealousy sends you to hell so it basically is a curse om the jealous person anyway. God warns against coverting what other people have multiple times.
I'm referring to the focus on how people are so jealous of you and hate you because of how "skinny and dainty" you are. They may not get along with you for other reasons, so it may be something to pray about. We all overlook our faults sometimes.
I love Stephanie 😭 she's so real and raw! I'm so glad that God uses her to tell her story.
Oh, girrrrrrrrrl! Don't get me started on Stephanie! She has helped me grow in so many ways. I went through a period of being obsessed with her! The annointing on her life is fire!
She's so relatable and God did bless her. It's great to see modest women in the church. Beauty didn't suffer for modesty

Stephanie's voice!!! it's like listening to an angel!!

I like that 👏

Praise God! Thank you for sharing this testimony of healing and freedom with us! 💜
Wow, God never fails to provide manna in the wilderness...
Amen! He is faithful always! 💜
Sister Stephanie taught me that I shouldn’t care more about how I look than who I am. A beautiful summary of Paul’s teaching on modesty Romans 13:14
Wow, I love that each ladies bring a real authentic self and that we can relate because whatever we all are going through we are one and that is Jesus Christ. Love Stephanie Ike God bless all the ladies and everyone. God loves each and everyone of us. Stay safe.

Hmmm.... You may want to pray about what you just put.
