    Every time I watch your videos I say to myself "I need more friends like Leah"... Love how you're obeying God and creating relatable content for the millennial generation. I would love to hear your thoughts in a video on how to witness to friends, family members and even strangers. Getting people into the Kingdom has been on my heart for quite some time now but finding the right time or proper words to say can be challenging. Cant wait for the next upload! You're Amazing sis!

      Dont try to convert people. Is annoying. Everyone chooses their own path. Just be there when they ask for support.

      Nagutama it may seems annoying to you but this is why God has called us. And if we don't try to show them God (we are not the one that do the conversion) they may go to hell.
      So yes this is important

    Thank you Leah, this word is on time. The word tells us that when we repent and put our faith in Christ, we are baptized into one body by one spirit and we all share the same spirit.
    I like that you highlighted the word “letting”... it does show that we have a choice. The holy spirit is our teacher guide, counselor, comforter, etc. When we choose to walk in the flesh over the spirit, we bring sorrow to God’s holy spirit! But when we choose to walk in the spirit, it is made possible to resist the continuing power of sin.
    So, thank you again for highlighting this topic. It is so vital. Right now, this world caters so much to our flesh. Like you said, we must make choices everyday. Each choice is important. But if we hold tight and are led by the spirit, the fruit will become evident.

    I clicked on the right video! I’m 14 and I always get on myself if I do a mistake because I always wanted to be perfect. But as I got older I found out that nobody’s perfect. I was once a bad person and I now have change. I still have some things to work on but I am better then I was a long time ago💗.

    Thanks for dropping this word.my flesh was getting way out of hand I was stuck into lust and it literally tried to take over my body.i have to not socialize because my flesh had a mind of its own and wanted to be feed more lustful things and stayed hungry 24 hours out of the day...I put the brakes on and feed my flesh the word of God...not only lust was growing but anger also started to fill my heart and I got angry very very easy and I cursed and I said anything I feel like...I was so blinded that I was doing and saying anything I wanted to....I would say curse words randomly and for no reason just cursing just to curse...my flesh was WAY OUT THERE.....BUT GLORY TO GOD....I recently heard a man of God speak about denying the flesh and instantly I came home and started to STUDY..... now I try to fill every second of my life with the things of the lord.... THE FLESH IS REAL .....I WAS LOOKING AT LUSTFUL THINGS AS A STRAIGHT MAN AND IT KEEP TRYING TO GET ME TO EXPAND MY OPTIONS WITH THE THINGS I WAS LOOKING AT.....IT SCARED ME SO MUCH I HAD TO STOP LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE THAT P#RN AND LUSTFUL THINGS...IT TRIED TO PULL ME TO THE OTHER SIDE AND TO BE HONEST IT SCARED ME SO MUCH I REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT ANYMORE... STILL NOW CURRENTLY IT TRYS TO RISE UP IN MY DAILY LIFE AND TELL ME THINGS THAT ARE NOT RIGHT AND TRYS TO GET ME TO LOOK AT THINGS THAT WAS NOT OF GOD....I WANTED TO GOUGE MY OWN EYES OUT ...... THIS STUFF IS REAL....MY FLESH KEEP SPEAKING TO ME AND WANTED TO BE FEED MORE LUSTFUL THINGS....BUT GLORY TO GOD I STAY IN HIS PRESENCE AND I STAY IN MY WORD......MY FLESH IS DYING DAY BY DAY....I FILL EVERY SECOND OF MY LIFE WITH THE THINGS OF GOD....I FELT LIKE A DRUG ADDICTED ADDICTED TO THE FLESH .....I CARRY A SMALL BIBLE WITH ME WHEN I LEAVE THE HOUSE AND IF I HAVE A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT IM READING MY WORD I STAY IN MY WORD AND I KEEP CHRISTIAN MUSIC PLAYING 24/7.... PLUS I FAST ALSO TO GET MY FLESH UNDER CONTROL....THE FLESH IS A EVIL MONSTER THAT WANTS TO BE FEED ....WE MUST STARVE AND KILL THE MONSTER DAILY... EVERY SINGLE DAY OF OUR LIFE....I PRAY THIS TESTIMONY HELPS SOMEONE

    I understand u Leah, I am still struggling with it. This just came in immediately I flare up with my family about something I thought was wrong.

And I understand the Lord will give me the grace to respond to situation in an honoring and glorifying ways through his power. Thanks for the scriptures.

    Sin can open doors that can't be closed. Some of the repercussions of sin over time are lukewarmness, spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness, spiritual drunkedness, spiritual deception, spiritual darkness, demonic oppression or possession, perversion, addiction, idolotry, depression, emptiness, desperation, spiritual harlotry, apostasy, a hardened heart, a loss of conscience, depravity, and enmity with God.

    Hi Leah, im not sure if you’ve done a video on this but, i struggle to forgive myself even after repenting. I feel like I’ve gone too far or sometimes old stuff would come to mind and I feel guilty and ask for forgiveness. I’ve been looking through the Bible for confirmation but I’m not seeing anything. I also struggle with hearing Gods voice and wondering if it’s just me sometimes. Ive been trying to find my purpose and listen for any sign on what God wants me to do next. I am unemployed and not in school. Im 22. I don’t really have a passion. Girl im all over the place i know. God is also helping me with my anxiety. So im sorry for being all over.

    Here for this!💛 a possible topic that I’d like to hear you talk about is being a godly woman but being told you’re intimidating or unapproachable. I’ve seen this in the corporate world & on college campuses, because of how you carry yourself with confidence or maybe you’re not smiling ALL the time (doesn’t mean you’re not happy/joyful though, but no need for a forced smile, right?) This has come up a lot in my life, so maybe a new perspective would be good.💕

    I thought God gave us free will and that once we gain knowledge of him, then he allows to choose and learn what to do in certain situations? I heard another Christ-based youtuber say that once we have a relationship with God and we are going towards the calling, he's no longer God with us, he's God in us. I'm starting o get a bit confused when it comes to this topic. What is the right thing to do?
