You know my excuse was for a long time “ God knows my though and understand stands my hart” so I would not pray UNTIL THE THING HAPPENED TO ME… and it broke me and made me want to bend my knees and bow my head …
As soon as you said “The reason laziness and procrastination are sins are because they’re the arrogant assumption that God is going to give you another time do do what you need to do” I quickly had to find a piece of paper, wrote it down, and hang that up by my desk. TY for the good word! AMEN
Romans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".@@lanalue8512
Laziness is also a sin because we take what God has blessed us with for granted. There are people who would do anything to go to school, to have a job, to have a home to take care. Yet we that already have these blessings we take them for granted which results in ungratefulness.
@@zemae2138true it pierce to the heart we need this as a daily reminder . Some people are born with illness or disability too and normal healthy people take for granted
I (16 yo girl) have called myself a Christian since I could talk. I spent absolutely no time learning about him and only "came to him" if I needed something. I randomly got the surge today to look up God's word today, and I feel changed. I feel sad I missed out on such wisdom for so long and I am so incredibly thankful for this video. You have completely fixed my thought of laziness and I am so glad I was randomly brought here today. Amen
Indeed this 🙌🏽🎚️🙏 The timing is crazy ‼️ thank you brother in Christ I remember Matthew 6:33 every day God puts it in my head and I try to avoid it, but I won’t but first see the kingdom of God in his righteousness, and all things should be added into you always invite the Holy Spirit when you read the Bible the Bible will feed our soul in the name of Jesus when you feel discourage or burden out pray to the father with Holy Spirit in Jesus name God help us there’s power in the Lords name and the Holy Ghost help us. God bless your brother and sister and your son and give your life to Jesus. God bless you all and may you have a relationship with your heavenly father God with Jesus and the Holy Spirit God bless you.🛐❤️🔥🙏
He's speaking the truth. We should be grateful we have another day. Especially when we ask the father, and he delivers. He's faithful when we're not, and we're often not faithful.
Laziness connects to lust in that we lack stewardship of our urges and the diligence and patience to wait for whom God has for us. Laziness in that we desire instant gratification versus operating with perseverance.
I needed this soo much.. Laziness is destroying my life as a Christian because I keep putting off the important things I should do as a Christian.. I thank God for this wake up call...
I’ve been avoiding this video for 2 days, because I was scared of feeling convicted, but I felt convicted to watch it. I’m really trying to get used to correction, and to be okay with being convicted because it will be used for my benefit in the end. God corrects the ones he loves. Thank God for this video
Thank you so much for this. As a senior in high school every single one of my days is filled with work, school, sports, and worry abt college and future experiences. I am so tired that I can complete all those things in a day but rarely find time to read my Bible or study the word. I am tired of wasting the time God gives me to spend with him. Thank you so much for helping me realize this! My goal is to spend time with God in the breaks of my day like the ten minutes in the morning before I leave for school, the class hours I have nothing to do. Thank you God for bringing this word to me through your disciple, Amen.
I was arrogant enough to think I didn't need this episode and dismiss you as a teacher. God knew I needed it. Brilliantly put teaching brother, keep up the work of the Lord. God bless!
This topic reminds me of Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and where it says in they Bible “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34 I agree we need to make the most of it and cherish each day God gives us and to place our trust in him 🙏🏻♥️
I struggle with laziness so much it makes me feel like a failure. I have times when I work hard but I always end up falling back into it. Im taking steps but I’m really struggling with this. I’m thankful for the message.
You aren't a failure or a failing human being for struggling ♡ It's okay to need brakes just focus on doing your best and dont beat yourself up when you get things wrong. I wish you good luck on trying to me less lazy
I've never watched your videos, in fact I rarely use RUclips. I was doing my homework which required me to watch a RUclips video, and when I was done I decided to just look at my feed, and lo and behold, this video. Truly from God. I have some medical and mental health issues that make me extremely tired and they are something I will deal with for the rest of my life. It's led me to laziness. Sometimes I have no desire to do anything, but seeing this video really changed my perspective on things. I'm asking God to protect me, and give me more time in life, but here I am not appreciating it by using it to my best ability... I truly needed this video, so thank you.
This is crazy to me since I have been lazy with Jesus over the past few days. I instantly clicked on this when I saw the title cause i was hit with some crazy conviction
Same I usually don’t watch longer videos unless I feel I really need the wake up call and my reasoning for that being “I’m too lazy to flip my phone to long ways” because I’m used to jsu holding it up vertically and I saw this video and was gonna ignore it but I immediately felt that conviction too and was like nah this is something I need and I know it.
I was thinking this morning to myself "dang my biggest sin truly is sloth" and when i opened youtube to eat my breakfast with, this was the first video to pop up. God is good
6:26 today was my first time ever coming across your content. i was laying down on the couch in the early afternoon today, about to fall asleep when this part of your sermon played. i have never got up and got busy faster than that moment. i've been praying to God to help me get out of this laziness. i haven't wanted to read my bible, i haven't wanted to do anything i used to enjoy. and i think this was His conviction. God is using you as a beautiful tool my friend, thank you and God bless you!
“ Arrogant assumption that God is going to give you another time to do what you need to do” 🔥Good word! May God continue to bless your ministry through words of wisdom!
I had a feeling when I thought I don't deserve nothing God is giving me that I should be dead. Now I now He is giving me time and life to love Him more and to prepare for a deeper relationship with Him
In regards to one of the comments you made - I’ve been thinking about laziness and its relation with lust recently. I’ve found that laziness/procrastination can lead to boredom, a wandering mind, consuming content that is not appropriate, etc. A lot of times this will lead to lust or any sexual sin. Thank you for the reminder to appreciate what God has gifted us.
💗 NOTES I GOT FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO : - ~ ~ ~ .Make the most out of every opportunity. Don't be lazy and waste your time . Do not boast about the next day for who knows if there is a next day. Do not say "I will do this tomorrow" but say "IF God Wills-" . Use your days wisely Every Hour is a Gift so use it. Some people don't do anything because they're lazy causing them to lose it. .Having Gratitude helps us to overcome it. It makes us humble and thank him and rejoice in him makes us grateful for this day and gives us motivation to use it wisely. .Being lazy is a sin cause your procrastinating a opportunity you think you might get again. 💗💗
For about two weeks I have been struggling with laziness and I’ve been speaking about it but not doing anything about it. Today in the morning I prayed and asked god to help me it’s been 11 hours since that, I searched up Bible studies and a lot of videos came up I started scrolling without reading the captions and for some reason the frame of this one looked brighter and something in me told me to click it, after clicking I saw the caption and realized the lord just spoke to me. THANK YOU LORD!!!❤😊
I genuinely find it hard to watch some things that are longer forms of videos. I know sixteen minutes is not necessarily crazy long, but my flesh just wants to drive me away from it. I found that when you spoke about this topic or when this video began, it's almost as if my Spirit took over and helped me listen to it because I needed to. To reveal things through what you are saying about my personal way of life. This was a fantastic topic and video and I'm sure it will help me become a better followed of God because of it. Amen. 🙏
This exactly how I felt, a weird yet calm feeling. I always try to resist clicking off, but this time it felt like I just surrendered. It was a much much needed conviction.
Braxten...this is my first video of yours that I have seen. Wow! Did it hit home! God is using you in mighty ways. Continue to listen to His voice so He can use you. Im a 62 year old female who has had back issues for 6 years. It's so easy to be lazy when you are injured. I am thanking God that I found your channel...to remind me that I must remove pride in my life, not take any day for granted and know that He is in control. May God bless you abundantly! I look forward to seeing all your videos!
I found that whenever I didn't do what God wanted me to do that day I would fall into lust. Laziness is definitely linked to lust. Whenever your in the word you don't have time to lust. It's all about running away from sin. Amen.
Symptoms of laziness: 1. Social Media/The Urge You have "nothing" to do so you scroll your problems away in a site that encourages laziness. 2. Depression/Social Anxiety You feel lost, and alone. You feel like if you differ from the world that you might look like a fool. In reality, the world is in the wrong. And you need to change. You might have been affected by personal problems, and laziness is a form of comfort or to get away from the truth. 3. Apathy You just don't care, you either feel like you can't do it. Or your just too lazy to not be lazy. 4. Boredom You are bored, you feel like there's nothing else to do other than be lazy. There is so much to do, and you deny that fact. 5. Self-Definition You feel you cannot change because it's in your nature, or because that's the way you are. You need a change of perspective, and the way you look at yourself. You think you cannot achieve your goals, so you might as well push them away. And run away from your problems. One person’s idea of “lazy” may be another’s idea of a hard day’s work. 6. Fatigue You feel tired, and want to lay down or relax for a minute. Minutes turn to hours, hours into days, days into months. And the cycle continues, you sleep when you don't need it. And always sleep in/or have a bad sleep schedule. 7. Environment You think it's okay to be lazy, because others do it too. Your friends and people you know are lazy all the time, so if your friends and family blow off work. Your more likely to do it too. 8. Distraction Your distracted by the world, and its technology. Such as Phones or Tablets, computers, and the features these devices come with. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴/𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴: 1. 𝘿𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚: Don't clog up your to-do list, instead prioritize the important things. And set aside the rest. What are you willing to drop, and what are you willing to focus on? 2. 𝘽𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘: You cannot just say you need to be less lazy and do it. You need a plan, you need to elaborate on 𝙝𝙤𝙬 you get rid of your laziness. 3. 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙪𝙣: Your more likely to repeat actions that you like/enjoy. So find something other than what your currently doing that makes you feel lazy. And you might just find something easy and fun to combat your stay at home/unhealthy life style. 4. 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚: To get things done/started you need to be able to resist distractions. It's not about willpower, you need to be able to put your phone in another room. Try installing apps that limit your screen time, or take 15-30 minute breaks from devices and slowly work your way up. 5. 𝘽𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡: Some are lazy because of habits, whether its procrastination out of habit. Or reacting with anxiety and unpleasant emotions out of habit. Be aware of your thinking and your actions. 6. 𝙂𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛: If you are in a period of procrastination, don't get mad or beat yourself up. If you do that, you will most likely procrastinate again. If you forgive yourself, the results will become the opposite. 7. 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙: Life has many desicions to make, you may or may not feel lost. Realize you need to make a decision, keep an eye on your goal/goals. Explore the options you have. Thank you for reading this through, I really do hope that this helped identify the cause of your laziness. And how to get rid of that cause. God bless you in your journey, I hope I can overcome it as well. ❤️✝️
Getting ate up like this isn't fun, but God knows I need it LOL 😭 I've watched so many "stop being lazy!" videos that camp on building 15 different habits starting at 4am that I just can't keep up with especially in this day and age. But this was so convicting, because it's based in Word. Besides other valid reasons for not being able to do certain activities or wanting more time to do them, arrogance is a LOT of it. I arrogantly say "I'll start this Monday" as if that Monday is really promised. I'd then spend my time rotting in bed 😭 Another aspect I'd like to bring is, God also knows my heart! If He knows my schedule is packed a certain week, if He knows my stresses, He can also make a way for that Monday! He sustains, He is our daily bread, He will make a way fit if He so chooses. Even through my mental illness, He still loves me and wants the best for me and all of you. God bless xx 🤍
This is huge. Laziness can be linked to every sin and it is 100% a sin. It is selfishness and it’s also indulgence in comfort. I have been looking for a teaching like this because this can be applied to everyone and can help you overcome every sin. This is so motivating, thank you!!
This was exactly what I needed. I've been struggling with laziness for a while now, and I kept getting frustrated with myself for procrastinating. I prayed for God to help me to no avail, but I realise that God has already provided all I need to work hard. Everyday I wake up I remember that God has chosen me, like so many people died but God chose to wake me up today which means I have a God given purpose for each day. Thanks for the word, God bless
Thank you! I've been struggling a lot more lately with laziness. And even though it can be a mental and physical consequence, what you said truly said brought major clarity. I always felt more inclined to being lazy when it came to God when it should be a priority. I was literally praying about my laziness two days ago since I was starting a fast and wow, your video popped up on my feed. Thank u for letting God use you! God answers all prayers!!!
I’ve had this video on my watch later for weeks now, and man I finally clicked it today and thank you man of God!!! You’re spreading truth here and calling us out, love that you not only spoke on being lazy about seeking God and being in relation with Him, but also being lazy and not stewarding the things the lord has blessed us with properly like education, ability to work, etc; that’s something I really needed to hear. Keep speaking truth 🙏🏾
Just a reminder for anyone that needs it: Being unproductive doesn't necessarily mean you're arrogant and lazy. There can be other factors getting in the way of your ability to get up and go - things that aren't automatically solved by just being grateful. Depression, ADHD, chronic illness, grief, etc. can get in the way. Personally what motivates me to overcome my inactivity is knowing God loves me intimately and is excited to see what I will do in my life - that it brings him joy to watch me and that it's wonderful to produce work while having it in mind that I get to share it with him and that he is pleased with it like a parent would be of their child's drawing on the fridge. Meaning, we don't need to earn his love through work, but he loves seeing what we do.
Thanks! Him saying that God is being kind by giving me another day got me stressed out lol. I have difficulty doing something if i know that me messing it up could upset or disappoint someone and i know God wont be disappointed in me for struggling but its still a lingering thought. :( have adhd and im autistic so sometimes i feel overwhelmed by what i have to do, confused on where to start or procrastinate because of other reasons. Thinking about my parents and God being happy im being productive is a really nice way for me to be more motivated and i want to achieve that goal ^^ It'll be hard sometimes but working bit by bit to be more productive and trying my best will get me somewhere i know it ❤
@@Acorn905 I feel you on that! 😅 I think it was a more straightforward way of saying “be grateful that you woke up this morning” continuing his point that tomorrow is not promised; this is why I say I’m a God fearing woman! It puts perspective on where I want and need to be to align my life with the Gospel!! Not all of His word will have you feeling happy and uplifted, sometimes I feel guilty and called out, but that’s when I ask for forgiveness and repent!!! Much love for you on your path with Christ ❤
Last night, I was writing in my prayer journal asking god to forgive me for being so lazy over my winter break. God answered me today with this video. I dont think I will live another day the same❤
I prayed over my breakfast this morning and i also asked God to forgive me for not seeking him lately (praying, reading the Bible ect.). I said i have been lazy and i know you will help me, give me strength and wisdom to be able to overcome this, since laziness is something i always have struggled with. Something told me to erase social media on my phone and since i had nothing to do, i said “let me watch video”. And i came across this video. It’s incredible.
In Jesus name, Amen and Amen. I thank the Lord for letting me run into this video because this is definitely what I needed to hear and put into my heart.🙏🏽💕 God is always working and good every time you seek Him!
Goatee slaps ngl 😂 but thank you for this episode. Actually today I was struggling and hating myself for being lazy and procrastinating practically everything. So when I saw this pop up on my for you I knew it was God, and this encouraged me. Because 1. I’m not alone in struggling with this and 2. I should celebrating and be thankful for the time on earth God has given me and take it and use it for its full purpose. So thank you very very much, and can’t wait for the next episode.
I wept when you prayed. Needed this reminder and that prayer. I felt a bit overwhelmed, transitioning rn but I see what God has called me to, can’t make excuses. So much love bro, this was straight from Jesus and really woke me back up! I rebuke laziness. So grateful for this video. I felt a burden lift off me but I’m gonna remember just to look at the steps the Lord is ordering and set goals everyday.
ive found this video on God's timing - where I have been lazy and procrastinating the most. Ive always struggled with this my whole life. I am humble and grateful that God has allowed me another day. I don't want to be arrogant and deceived any longer.
Amen Braxten so awesome to see a young person preaching Gods word with compassion and conviction. Young and old believers say they love God but don’t give God a minute to grow in grace and knowledge 2Peter 3:18 a command. Powerful message God bless.
As Braxten’s former employer, he without a doubt practices what he preaches. Many times would he ask for extra hours and unlike many employees who would literally sit on their phone and expect to get paid, he worked incredibly hard without wavering even when things were stressful. This is a good man right here: But, Nah the goatee goes so hard
Thank you for this message. 🙏🏼 It made me realize how evil TikTok, reels, shorts, and social media in general are because they feed off of our time and attention. When I had TikTok, I could easily spend 3-6 hours SCROLLING through pointless videos just trying to catch a dopamine fix. It was too easy to get stuck in, difficult to pull away from and I remember feeling frustrated and tired all day, unable to get anything productive done. I saved so much precious time deleting and deactivating most of my social accounts, I keep RUclips for videos like yours but that’s about it at this point. Thank you again for sharing this, I really needed to hear this word!
This is so real 😭 I struggle so much with the same thing and end up hating myself with a passion afterwards every time I go down one of these "revenge bedtime procrastination" spirals. And then it flows onto the next day where I'm tired, irritable and impatient because of my own bad choices. God help us overcome this affliction/addiction. 🙏🏼
This is litterally the same as me!! i had just watched another God motivation video and saw how long this one was and didn't want to watch it. But God guided me to it and it's helped me alot! God bless you.
Thanks so much for this episode!! I’ve been struggling with laziness, especially when studying for my exams. But this video really helped and motivated to stop procrastinating and being lazy. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS AGAIN!
Because of a friend i met in 2024 I have just recently come to put my faith in jesus. Before i was an atheist and I am really grateful i have the change to get to know jesus. I have been praying to go lately to help me be disciplined and he provided because this video was what i need. amen!!
Wow I never saw it as prideful, and arrogant but it totally makes sense. Thank you for the word. Praise God! I am so glad I listened to this. Thank you again ! Praise Jesus!
thank you Braxten. I've been really struggling with laziness lately. Thanks to you, I've learned that my pride is the root of this sin. If I want to show my gratitude to God, I need to make the most out of each day He has provided. If anyone sees this, please pray for me. I really need it.
For the longest time, I didn’t acknowledge that laziness is a sin…thanks is an eye opening video that I was almost too lazy to listen to upon seeing that it’s 16min-ish but I guess the Holy Spirit didn’t want me lazing around.
i am brazilian and have been trying to seek God asking for wisdom and your video just popped up while i was trying to talk to him and as i was hearing you i just felt exposed. God is giving me so many chances to try again but i take everything for granted like i have all the eternity to do good and can do it later, but no, i have to change now give my life to him now and be grateful to the blessings hes giving me even tho im a sinner, this world is not mine its his and he gave me free will to choose and i choose him. God do your will and forgive me because i know nothing i know u can do great in my life but im lacking give me strenght to overcome lazyness in that way i can show the people around me the power of your creation. Thanks for your video it was what i needed to hear today and i think he listened to my prayer and made possible to understanding him through you even tho i dont speak english properly but this video i could understand. Keep it up spreading the wisdom of the lord may God continue blessing you.
The fact that I’m struggling with laziness right now, and I didn’t even search this but it just popped on my screen tells me God is directly speaking to me. He wanted me to see this and I’m glad I did.
I think you can link laziness with lust; like the quote 'idle hands are the devil's playthings'. Personally, if I oversleep or am not doing anything productive, I can fall into lust out of boredom. So you are so right it is all linked.
May God bless you greatly Brexten for sharing this to us because often times I see laziness as just a normal part of life and don't acknowledge that God really doesn't want us to be lazy. I pray that God will help us overcome laziness in our wal with him in Jesus name. Amen.
Hey, I’m not gonna lie, this message just cleared my mind, like crazy. Listening to that, I was looking to my life and I was the type of person like when there is job to do, I was like : “ maybe after, not this time, I don’t feel like it” but your message just gave strength, humility and gratitude to say to myself : “ hey, God gave you time, use it wisely.” Thanks 🙏🏾 For real men.
- It’s irrigate to think that you’re going to do things tomorrow. The better way is to think if it’s God will to do it - laziness and procrastination is a sin, because it’s assuming God will give you another time to do something. - Humble yourself, God has given you 12hrs a day to do what you need to do everyday. - Time is a gift, God doesn’t owe you anything. Use your time wisely, don’t waste the time that God has given you. - Be grateful for the time God has given you, this is the true way to get over laziness. - Be humiliated. You must not waste the gift of time that God has given you. - Gratitude and being humble is the true way to get over laziness.
James 4:13 - 16 It tells us to not be prideful with what we decide to do tomorrow. It’s only in God’s will for what he truly chooses us to do tomorrow. Be thankful if God even gives you a chance to breath tomorrow
I PRAISE YOU GOD for recommending this message over and over again which I've been feeling lazy to watch and procrastinating all those time. Please bless this brother and thank you for using him only for the GLORY OF YOUR NAME JESUS, AMEN.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate how you repeat & reiterate elements of the word bc some stuff goes over my head & then hearing it rephrased makes it click! Bless you
(Opened my RUclips and this video 😂) I’m a sluggard right now! 😭 slothful! Sinful! Pray for me! Also new in Christ 🫶🏼 I even watch laziness videos and read lazy resources 😂😅. I wasn’t like this until I got depressed and now it’s like a snowball effect trying to dig myself out. It’s the most annoying thing ever. I used to judge the lazy now I’ve become the judged. True story. Pray for me please.
Don't beat yourself up. Accepting that there are other factors that contribute (such as depression) and not just blaming yourself can help you work on a fix. God is kind, and patience is a virtue.
I feel like this really was sent from God for me to see. This past month I’ve been dealing with so much procrastination and laziness especially with getting into the word and I asked God to help me and my yt isn’t filled with a lot of Christian content so seeing this randomly and it being super specific further makes me believe this is the answer to my prayer. Thank you ❤️🩹
BROTHER… God is going to bless you for this, I’m starting my own podcast and this word was so incredibly touching and I even have my mom shocked because exactly what you spoke about is what I prayed about. God speaks through his children to not even touch just the lost but the even the children who need to hear something directly from him 💗🙏🏽🫶🏽‼️💕Thank you Jesus
i think it was you whom i saw on tiktok that talks about procrastination is a product of pride. that kind of planted to my mind and now i think that everytime i am feeling lazy to do something, i get this thought that "what if this your last day and you wouldn't have another day of chance to do this?" and that lead to thanking God every time I wake up because it means He gave me another chance to redeem myself, to do the thing i left yesterday and that is so beautiful. thank you for video and i pray that you'll reach more fellows.
Parable of Talents helped me a lot, remember how confused i was with my path and randomly one day i was in the bus and a video came up about the parable. Sometimes i fear to do a step but knowing Holy Spirit put me on this road for a reason i feel greatful! Tomorrow is important day in my life, first day of internship which will last few weeks, if i succeed i will get the first job in my life and most importantly with my profession, pray for me 🙏🏻 Thanks for the video and the reminder about the talents we are given from the Holy Spirit, Amen.
I think the old saying "idle hands are the devils workshop" is so spot on. The reason the devil can talk you into things when you are idle is because your mind isnt on anything. He can fully torment you and talk you into sin when your brain is "off". If you are lazy and just sit around all the time, your mind is off and you can also fall into depression that way. And lust can go back to laziness because if you are sitting there doing nothing with your phone in your hand, it is easy to turn to porn. This is a good message brother it has been on my mind lately too.
I'm crying while watching this. I realized that because of my laziness, I have neglected my calling. Thank you for this reminder! This is what I need to hear rn. God bless 🙏🏻
Arrogance has such a harsh picture because we rarely hear that word - but the Bible definitely tells us how foundational pride is to all other sins (Lucifer in Isaiah 14, the pride of life in 1 John 2) Whoever wants to become great must become a servant. Just like Christ, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10) So good. I like the framing of this. Gratitude does help us find more energy.
I’m 7 months late hearing this but I think it’s God’s timing which made me find it now. Thank you for spreading the Lord’s word. I needed to hear this 🥹🙏
I joined this video precisely because I was lazy, so I saw this video and thought "hmm interesting", and now I'm perplexed how God managed to catch me off guard yet again!
You were the first thing that popped up that talked about God so I clicked it … I’ve been soooo busy & haven’t been in my word so ik this was for me. I was doing a crochet project while watching. I stopped to eat. Said after I ate I would finish the project THEN I would read my word. My daughter just fell asleep. I was thinking to myself “I was put here to bring more ppl to God. Yes, I’m allowed to enjoy the things I like but FIRST I need to give back to God” that right there let me know to get up & get my bible & journal. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the word Braxten! Another thing that the Holy Spirit reminded me of throughout the video was when David got lazy and didn't fight on the Battlefield, it led to the sin he committed with Bathsheba, which was lust. God bless!
God is amazing 👏 I just prayed to God asking for help because of my laziness I've distanced myself from him, and I suddenly get a thought to come onto yt and this is what shows up 😭❤ thank you so much for this message sir, all of your videos help me come closer to Jesus❤ God bless you
Thank you for this episode! I've been struggling to focus on my tasks all day, and this episode was a helpful reminder to remember each day is a gift from God! :)
Am 15yrs old but connect with this a lot as most kids in our generation seek life in a screen with fame and money that just feeds our flesh not soul and I won't lie but I was over 5 hours glued to my laptop or phone and every night a voice would ask me what was something worthy I actually did today because I have spent my time on a phone; time I wont get back of just praising people in my phone when I should start with me so I thank you Braxten for reminding me there's someone bigger than I that I should really praise For the little things he has given me like life; health and a family
as someone who really struggles with this, this really helps me out, I have struggled with laziness a lot this year and just doing stuff last minute has always been just my thing, but thank you Lord for bringing this on my feed, I want to play college soccer and I know that one of the main things holding me back is laziness and procrastination, truly bless your soul and thank you so much for giving me some much needed guidance.
Thank you for this much-needed message! I went straight to being productive because I got caught being lazy. "Laziness is a sin," my morning reminder now.
Aku melihat episode ini lalu aku sadar bahwa,waktu adalah anugerah yang di berikan Tuhan kepadaku dan anda. Salam dari Indonesia Tuhan yesus memberkati 😇😇
fun fact about the ants: there are actually types of ants that collect fungi from plants, carry it back to their colonies, and grow the fungi in little 'farms' to use as food. I'm a bio major and I LOVE learning things like that because it convinces me more and more how beautifully our Creator designed the earth.
I’m new to this channel, but I got to say that I think this is the first Christian content creator close to my age that actually encourages you to get close to God to be with God, not for money. This video convicted me cause yeah now that I think about it I have been arrogant thinking that I have tomorrow to read my Bible or pray or simply get close to God. That arrogance has lead me to backslide and because of my arrogance I don’t go to the Lord. Thank you for this message. May the Lord shine his face upon you and bless you with wisdom so that you can continue teaching His word.
So good Braxten!!! Unfortunately my whole life has been lived as the third slave but with Him He is bringing me out, so thank you for listening to the Word He placed in your heart to share it with us!
“If you don’t feel like praying, force yourself to do it, because something is forcing you not to.”
wow
You Cooked
😮😮
You know my excuse was for a long time “ God knows my though and understand stands my hart” so I would not pray UNTIL THE THING HAPPENED TO ME… and it broke me and made me want to bend my knees and bow my head …
bro I forgot abt this, I used to say this to myself when I was just starting. I believe and I know it that God lead me here to this video.
"God doesn't owe you anything, but He provides you everything." chillsssss bro
I think laziness directly connects to lust. I notice I fall into it when I’m laying in bed but never when I am keeping busy.
Idle hands are the devil’s workshop
Everytime.
💯
oooooh that’s true
Yes I agree you can become a Lazy slave to lust
"God does not own you anything but he provides you everything"
As soon as you said “The reason laziness and procrastination are sins are because they’re the arrogant assumption that God is going to give you another time do do what you need to do” I quickly had to find a piece of paper, wrote it down, and hang that up by my desk. TY for the good word! AMEN
literally did the same exact thing!!
Romans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".@@lanalue8512
im going to do this too!!!
God will move you when it's time for you to move.
laziness is a side effect of depression..the more truth you know, the sadder you get..
Would God forgive me if I wasn't hit by that? 🙂
Laziness is also a sin because we take what God has blessed us with for granted. There are people who would do anything to go to school, to have a job, to have a home to take care. Yet we that already have these blessings we take them for granted which results in ungratefulness.
!!!
@@zemae2138true it pierce to the heart we need this as a daily reminder . Some people are born with illness or disability too and normal healthy people take for granted
amen
Im new here and got called fake 😭😂😂 thanks for the word, Love this 👏🏽👏🏽
Right😂
SAME
Same 😭😂
Same! Ngl I probably wouldn’t have commented but still 🤷♀️
MEE 😭! I just got hereee 😂
I (16 yo girl) have called myself a Christian since I could talk. I spent absolutely no time learning about him and only "came to him" if I needed something. I randomly got the surge today to look up God's word today, and I feel changed. I feel sad I missed out on such wisdom for so long and I am so incredibly thankful for this video. You have completely fixed my thought of laziness and I am so glad I was randomly brought here today. Amen
In all things we do, seek the Lord first. I’m so thankful you were brought to look deeper into the Lord’s word and I pray you grow in His kingdom 🙌🏻
powerful amen 🙏
Indeed this 🙌🏽🎚️🙏
The timing is crazy ‼️ thank you brother in Christ I remember Matthew 6:33 every day God puts it in my head and I try to avoid it, but I won’t but first see the kingdom of God in his righteousness, and all things should be added into you always invite the Holy Spirit when you read the Bible the Bible will feed our soul in the name of Jesus when you feel discourage or burden out pray to the father with Holy Spirit in Jesus name God help us there’s power in the Lords name and the Holy Ghost help us. God bless your brother and sister and your son and give your life to Jesus. God bless you all and may you have a relationship with your heavenly father God with Jesus and the Holy Spirit God bless you.🛐❤️🔥🙏
So happy for you
don’t be sad that you missed out on anything. GOD is working on you.
“It’s a sin because it’s the arrogant assumption God will give you another time to do it”
Jaw DROPPED. Bro just read me to filth😭
Just curious if you listened to any of what he said after he said this specific line?
frfrfrfrfrfrfrfr
He's speaking the truth. We should be grateful we have another day. Especially when we ask the father, and he delivers. He's faithful when we're not, and we're often not faithful.
god's existence and the whole entire universe being created just for you, is a much more arrogant assumption. much love
One thing I believe the Lord has shown me is that laziness is a comfort addiction. This video was right on time!
There is a difference between laziness and the waves of physical and mental exhaustion that comes after years / decades of gaslighting.
Laziness connects to lust in that we lack stewardship of our urges and the diligence and patience to wait for whom God has for us. Laziness in that we desire instant gratification versus operating with perseverance.
Instant gratification really is the root of so many of our trespasses
THIS IS SO TRUE
Wow I’ve never seen it like this!
AMEN
Thank you for this insight. ❤
I needed this soo much.. Laziness is destroying my life as a Christian because I keep putting off the important things I should do as a Christian.. I thank God for this wake up call...
does anybody else notice the work of God in the background here…
it’s so pretty i thought it was a virtual background 😂🫶🏽
@@berniceariana6530 same!
Nature is so beautiful i love it so much! I really need to go out and see it more
The song "Lamb" is truly beautiful!
It’s beautiful
The arrogant assumption that God will give you another time to do what you need to do. BAR FOR BAR. That was what I needed to hear
I’ve been avoiding this video for 2 days, because I was scared of feeling convicted, but I felt convicted to watch it. I’m really trying to get used to correction, and to be okay with being convicted because it will be used for my benefit in the end. God corrects the ones he loves. Thank God for this video
Thank you so much for this. As a senior in high school every single one of my days is filled with work, school, sports, and worry abt college and future experiences. I am so tired that I can complete all those things in a day but rarely find time to read my Bible or study the word. I am tired of wasting the time God gives me to spend with him. Thank you so much for helping me realize this! My goal is to spend time with God in the breaks of my day like the ten minutes in the morning before I leave for school, the class hours I have nothing to do. Thank you God for bringing this word to me through your disciple, Amen.
I was arrogant enough to think I didn't need this episode and dismiss you as a teacher. God knew I needed it. Brilliantly put teaching brother, keep up the work of the Lord. God bless!
This topic reminds me of Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and where it says in they Bible “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34
I agree we need to make the most of it and cherish each day God gives us and to place our trust in him 🙏🏻♥️
I struggle with laziness so much it makes me feel like a failure. I have times when I work hard but I always end up falling back into it. Im taking steps but I’m really struggling with this. I’m thankful for the message.
Pray weekly fasting "all the time" and get off the laziness triggers like internet
Praying for you.
You aren't a failure or a failing human being for struggling ♡ It's okay to need brakes just focus on doing your best and dont beat yourself up when you get things wrong. I wish you good luck on trying to me less lazy
@maiktendo6512 how do I fast though. I've done it before but I don't think I do it right
@@billybobisnotavailable a good starting point ruclips.net/video/LAbLvU-aYIo/видео.htmlsi=Cc7S3SDtjLdm1W7T
I've never watched your videos, in fact I rarely use RUclips. I was doing my homework which required me to watch a RUclips video, and when I was done I decided to just look at my feed, and lo and behold, this video. Truly from God. I have some medical and mental health issues that make me extremely tired and they are something I will deal with for the rest of my life. It's led me to laziness. Sometimes I have no desire to do anything, but seeing this video really changed my perspective on things. I'm asking God to protect me, and give me more time in life, but here I am not appreciating it by using it to my best ability...
I truly needed this video, so thank you.
This is crazy to me since I have been lazy with Jesus over the past few days. I instantly clicked on this when I saw the title cause i was hit with some crazy conviction
Same I usually don’t watch longer videos unless I feel I really need the wake up call and my reasoning for that being “I’m too lazy to flip my phone to long ways” because I’m used to jsu holding it up vertically and I saw this video and was gonna ignore it but I immediately felt that conviction too and was like nah this is something I need and I know it.
Same.
Literally me
5:04 for like procrastination and saying “oh I’ll just do it tomorrow” like you could not wake up tmr , Jesus could come back , like just do it today
I was thinking this morning to myself "dang my biggest sin truly is sloth" and when i opened youtube to eat my breakfast with, this was the first video to pop up. God is good
I had exactly the same!!
Sameerr
And all the time god is good
me too
SAME
6:26 today was my first time ever coming across your content. i was laying down on the couch in the early afternoon today, about to fall asleep when this part of your sermon played. i have never got up and got busy faster than that moment. i've been praying to God to help me get out of this laziness. i haven't wanted to read my bible, i haven't wanted to do anything i used to enjoy. and i think this was His conviction. God is using you as a beautiful tool my friend, thank you and God bless you!
“ Arrogant assumption that God is going to give you another time to do what you need to do” 🔥Good word! May God continue to bless your ministry through words of wisdom!
I had a feeling when I thought I don't deserve nothing God is giving me that I should be dead. Now I now He is giving me time and life to love Him more and to prepare for a deeper relationship with Him
In regards to one of the comments you made - I’ve been thinking about laziness and its relation with lust recently. I’ve found that laziness/procrastination can lead to boredom, a wandering mind, consuming content that is not appropriate, etc. A lot of times this will lead to lust or any sexual sin. Thank you for the reminder to appreciate what God has gifted us.
Agree! And also when speaking about adultery in marriage I think it can be connected to the laziness of not fighting for the marriage
True brother
I agree, when he mentioned that i also thought that it can be laziness to wait for marriage.
yessss your so right
Agreed!
When you look at it from this perspective, laziness becomes guilt. Thank you for this outlook!
💗 NOTES I GOT FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO : -
~ ~ ~
.Make the most out of every opportunity. Don't be lazy and waste your time
. Do not boast about the next day for who knows if there is a next day. Do not say "I will do this tomorrow" but say "IF God Wills-"
. Use your days wisely Every Hour is a Gift so use it. Some people don't do anything because they're lazy causing them to lose it.
.Having Gratitude helps us to overcome it. It makes us humble and thank him and rejoice in him makes us grateful for this day and gives us motivation to use it wisely.
.Being lazy is a sin cause your procrastinating a opportunity you think you might get again.
💗💗
For about two weeks I have been struggling with laziness and I’ve been speaking about it but not doing anything about it. Today in the morning I prayed and asked god to help me it’s been 11 hours since that, I searched up Bible studies and a lot of videos came up I started scrolling without reading the captions and for some reason the frame of this one looked brighter and something in me told me to click it, after clicking I saw the caption and realized the lord just spoke to me. THANK YOU LORD!!!❤😊
I genuinely find it hard to watch some things that are longer forms of videos. I know sixteen minutes is not necessarily crazy long, but my flesh just wants to drive me away from it. I found that when you spoke about this topic or when this video began, it's almost as if my Spirit took over and helped me listen to it because I needed to. To reveal things through what you are saying about my personal way of life. This was a fantastic topic and video and I'm sure it will help me become a better followed of God because of it. Amen. 🙏
This exactly how I felt, a weird yet calm feeling. I always try to resist clicking off, but this time it felt like I just surrendered. It was a much much needed conviction.
Literally same 😭
Yea me to guys😂
I have been called out and it is something I NEEDED to hear. It is indeed arrogance that I have, the reason I continue to procrastinate.
Thanks so much for this episode. I've been struggling with laziness, especially with finishing up this school year, so this was perfect.
Braxten...this is my first video of yours that I have seen. Wow! Did it hit home! God is using you in mighty ways. Continue to listen to His voice so He can use you. Im a 62 year old female who has had back issues for 6 years. It's so easy to be lazy when you are injured. I am thanking God that I found your channel...to remind me that I must remove pride in my life, not take any day for granted and know that He is in control. May God bless you abundantly! I look forward to seeing all your videos!
I found that whenever I didn't do what God wanted me to do that day I would fall into lust. Laziness is definitely linked to lust. Whenever your in the word you don't have time to lust. It's all about running away from sin. Amen.
Laziness leads to condemnation which leads to temptation......Jesus told the disciples to pray so that they won't fall into temptation
Symptoms of laziness:
1. Social Media/The Urge
You have "nothing" to do so you scroll your problems away in a site that encourages laziness.
2. Depression/Social Anxiety
You feel lost, and alone. You feel like if you differ from the world that you might look like a fool. In reality, the world is in the wrong. And you need to change. You might have been affected by personal problems, and laziness is a form of comfort or to get away from the truth.
3. Apathy
You just don't care, you either feel like you can't do it. Or your just too lazy to not be lazy.
4. Boredom
You are bored, you feel like there's nothing else to do other than be lazy. There is so much to do, and you deny that fact.
5. Self-Definition
You feel you cannot change because it's in your nature, or because that's the way you are. You need a change of perspective, and the way you look at yourself. You think you cannot achieve your goals, so you might as well push them away. And run away from your problems. One person’s idea of “lazy” may be another’s idea of a hard day’s work.
6. Fatigue
You feel tired, and want to lay down or relax for a minute. Minutes turn to hours, hours into days, days into months. And the cycle continues, you sleep when you don't need it. And always sleep in/or have a bad sleep schedule.
7. Environment
You think it's okay to be lazy, because others do it too. Your friends and people you know are lazy all the time, so if your friends and family blow off work. Your more likely to do it too.
8. Distraction
Your distracted by the world, and its technology. Such as Phones or Tablets, computers, and the features these devices come with.
𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴/𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴:
1. 𝘿𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚: Don't clog up your to-do list, instead prioritize the important things. And set aside the rest. What are you willing to drop, and what are you willing to focus on?
2. 𝘽𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘: You cannot just say you need to be less lazy and do it. You need a plan, you need to elaborate on 𝙝𝙤𝙬 you get rid of your laziness.
3. 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙪𝙣: Your more likely to repeat actions that you like/enjoy. So find something other than what your currently doing that makes you feel lazy. And you might just find something easy and fun to combat your stay at home/unhealthy life style.
4. 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚: To get things done/started you need to be able to resist distractions. It's not about willpower, you need to be able to put your phone in another room. Try installing apps that limit your screen time, or take 15-30 minute breaks from devices and slowly work your way up.
5. 𝘽𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡: Some are lazy because of habits, whether its procrastination out of habit. Or reacting with anxiety and unpleasant emotions out of habit. Be aware of your thinking and your actions.
6. 𝙂𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛: If you are in a period of procrastination, don't get mad or beat yourself up. If you do that, you will most likely procrastinate again. If you forgive yourself, the results will become the opposite.
7. 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙: Life has many desicions to make, you may or may not feel lost. Realize you need to make a decision, keep an eye on your goal/goals. Explore the options you have.
Thank you for reading this through, I really do hope that this helped identify the cause of your laziness. And how to get rid of that cause. God bless you in your journey, I hope I can overcome it as well. ❤️✝️
This is a great advice 😊🙏🏼
Getting ate up like this isn't fun, but God knows I need it LOL 😭 I've watched so many "stop being lazy!" videos that camp on building 15 different habits starting at 4am that I just can't keep up with especially in this day and age. But this was so convicting, because it's based in Word. Besides other valid reasons for not being able to do certain activities or wanting more time to do them, arrogance is a LOT of it. I arrogantly say "I'll start this Monday" as if that Monday is really promised. I'd then spend my time rotting in bed 😭
Another aspect I'd like to bring is, God also knows my heart! If He knows my schedule is packed a certain week, if He knows my stresses, He can also make a way for that Monday! He sustains, He is our daily bread, He will make a way fit if He so chooses. Even through my mental illness, He still loves me and wants the best for me and all of you. God bless xx 🤍
you should read James 4, especially verses 13-16!!
This is huge. Laziness can be linked to every sin and it is 100% a sin. It is selfishness and it’s also indulgence in comfort. I have been looking for a teaching like this because this can be applied to everyone and can help you overcome every sin. This is so motivating, thank you!!
This was exactly what I needed. I've been struggling with laziness for a while now, and I kept getting frustrated with myself for procrastinating. I prayed for God to help me to no avail, but I realise that God has already provided all I need to work hard. Everyday I wake up I remember that God has chosen me, like so many people died but God chose to wake me up today which means I have a God given purpose for each day. Thanks for the word, God bless
Thank you! I've been struggling a lot more lately with laziness. And even though it can be a mental and physical consequence, what you said truly said brought major clarity. I always felt more inclined to being lazy when it came to God when it should be a priority. I was literally praying about my laziness two days ago since I was starting a fast and wow, your video popped up on my feed. Thank u for letting God use you! God answers all prayers!!!
Laziness in lust is choosing the easier way into intimacy and connection than from God’s true design
I’ve had this video on my watch later for weeks now, and man I finally clicked it today and thank you man of God!!! You’re spreading truth here and calling us out, love that you not only spoke on being lazy about seeking God and being in relation with Him, but also being lazy and not stewarding the things the lord has blessed us with properly like education, ability to work, etc; that’s something I really needed to hear. Keep speaking truth 🙏🏾
Just a reminder for anyone that needs it: Being unproductive doesn't necessarily mean you're arrogant and lazy. There can be other factors getting in the way of your ability to get up and go - things that aren't automatically solved by just being grateful. Depression, ADHD, chronic illness, grief, etc. can get in the way. Personally what motivates me to overcome my inactivity is knowing God loves me intimately and is excited to see what I will do in my life - that it brings him joy to watch me and that it's wonderful to produce work while having it in mind that I get to share it with him and that he is pleased with it like a parent would be of their child's drawing on the fridge. Meaning, we don't need to earn his love through work, but he loves seeing what we do.
THANK YOU
Thanks! Him saying that God is being kind by giving me another day got me stressed out lol. I have difficulty doing something if i know that me messing it up could upset or disappoint someone and i know God wont be disappointed in me for struggling but its still a lingering thought. :( have adhd and im autistic so sometimes i feel overwhelmed by what i have to do, confused on where to start or procrastinate because of other reasons. Thinking about my parents and God being happy im being productive is a really nice way for me to be more motivated and i want to achieve that goal ^^ It'll be hard sometimes but working bit by bit to be more productive and trying my best will get me somewhere i know it ❤
amen!! thank you
Amen! I’ve been so confused knowing the difference between laziness and being unproductive
@@Acorn905 I feel you on that! 😅 I think it was a more straightforward way of saying “be grateful that you woke up this morning” continuing his point that tomorrow is not promised; this is why I say I’m a God fearing woman! It puts perspective on where I want and need to be to align my life with the Gospel!! Not all of His word will have you feeling happy and uplifted, sometimes I feel guilty and called out, but that’s when I ask for forgiveness and repent!!! Much love for you on your path with Christ ❤
Last night, I was writing in my prayer journal asking god to forgive me for being so lazy over my winter break. God answered me today with this video. I dont think I will live another day the same❤
I prayed over my breakfast this morning and i also asked God to forgive me for not seeking him lately (praying, reading the Bible ect.). I said i have been lazy and i know you will help me, give me strength and wisdom to be able to overcome this, since laziness is something i always have struggled with. Something told me to erase social media on my phone and since i had nothing to do, i said “let me watch video”. And i came across this video. It’s incredible.
In Jesus name, Amen and Amen. I thank the Lord for letting me run into this video because this is definitely what I needed to hear and put into my heart.🙏🏽💕 God is always working and good every time you seek Him!
What I appreciate is the amount of scripture being used in spreading this word!! Keep it up!
Goatee slaps ngl 😂 but thank you for this episode. Actually today I was struggling and hating myself for being lazy and procrastinating practically everything. So when I saw this pop up on my for you I knew it was God, and this encouraged me. Because 1. I’m not alone in struggling with this and 2. I should celebrating and be thankful for the time on earth God has given me and take it and use it for its full purpose. So thank you very very much, and can’t wait for the next episode.
you’re welcome dear brother, glory to God! i’m saying tho brooo🤣🤣
I love the energy you bring to studying God's word! Your love for God and passion for his people are evident so thank you for sharing this with us! 🩷
I wept when you prayed. Needed this reminder and that prayer. I felt a bit overwhelmed, transitioning rn but I see what God has called me to, can’t make excuses. So much love bro, this was straight from Jesus and really woke me back up! I rebuke laziness. So grateful for this video. I felt a burden lift off me but I’m gonna remember just to look at the steps the Lord is ordering and set goals everyday.
ive found this video on God's timing - where I have been lazy and procrastinating the most. Ive always struggled with this my whole life. I am humble and grateful that God has allowed me another day. I don't want to be arrogant and deceived any longer.
God does not anoint the lazy! And shall we never forget the simplicity of loving Jesus!
Amen Braxten so awesome to see a young person preaching Gods word with compassion and conviction. Young and old believers say they love God but don’t give God a minute to grow in grace and knowledge 2Peter 3:18 a command. Powerful message God bless.
As Braxten’s former employer, he without a doubt practices what he preaches. Many times would he ask for extra hours and unlike many employees who would literally sit on their phone and expect to get paid, he worked incredibly hard without wavering even when things were stressful. This is a good man right here: But, Nah the goatee goes so hard
Wow, that’s awesome! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for commenting, this is so kind of you to say as a former employer
Thank you for this message. 🙏🏼
It made me realize how evil TikTok, reels, shorts, and social media in general are because they feed off of our time and attention. When I had TikTok, I could easily spend 3-6 hours SCROLLING through pointless videos just trying to catch a dopamine fix. It was too easy to get stuck in, difficult to pull away from and I remember feeling frustrated and tired all day, unable to get anything productive done. I saved so much precious time deleting and deactivating most of my social accounts, I keep RUclips for videos like yours but that’s about it at this point. Thank you again for sharing this, I really needed to hear this word!
This is so real 😭 I struggle so much with the same thing and end up hating myself with a passion afterwards every time I go down one of these "revenge bedtime procrastination" spirals. And then it flows onto the next day where I'm tired, irritable and impatient because of my own bad choices. God help us overcome this affliction/addiction. 🙏🏼
That’s so good, “we r arrogant because we think that God is going to give us another opportunity” so crazy
Thanks Braxten! I’m getting tired of being lazy 🥱
Just came to say I was too lazy to even click or watch the video, but I did... and even left a comment.
This is litterally the same as me!! i had just watched another God motivation video and saw how long this one was and didn't want to watch it. But God guided me to it and it's helped me alot! God bless you.
Thanks so much for this episode!! I’ve been struggling with laziness, especially when studying for my exams. But this video really helped and motivated to stop procrastinating and being lazy. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS AGAIN!
Because of a friend i met in 2024 I have just recently come to put my faith in jesus. Before i was an atheist and I am really grateful i have the change to get to know jesus. I have been praying to go lately to help me be disciplined and he provided because this video was what i need. amen!!
Wow I never saw it as prideful, and arrogant but it totally makes sense. Thank you for the word. Praise God! I am so glad I listened to this. Thank you again ! Praise Jesus!
thank you Braxten. I've been really struggling with laziness lately. Thanks to you, I've learned that my pride is the root of this sin. If I want to show my gratitude to God, I need to make the most out of each day He has provided.
If anyone sees this, please pray for me. I really need it.
For the longest time, I didn’t acknowledge that laziness is a sin…thanks is an eye opening video that I was almost too lazy to listen to upon seeing that it’s 16min-ish but I guess the Holy Spirit didn’t want me lazing around.
i am brazilian and have been trying to seek God asking for wisdom and your video just popped up while i was trying to talk to him and as i was hearing you i just felt exposed. God is giving me so many chances to try again but i take everything for granted like i have all the eternity to do good and can do it later, but no, i have to change now give my life to him now and be grateful to the blessings hes giving me even tho im a sinner, this world is not mine its his and he gave me free will to choose and i choose him. God do your will and forgive me because i know nothing i know u can do great in my life but im lacking give me strenght to overcome lazyness in that way i can show the people around me the power of your creation. Thanks for your video it was what i needed to hear today and i think he listened to my prayer and made possible to understanding him through you even tho i dont speak english properly but this video i could understand. Keep it up spreading the wisdom of the lord may God continue blessing you.
This word found me. Thank you Lord.
The fact that I’m struggling with laziness right now, and I didn’t even search this but it just popped on my screen tells me God is directly speaking to me. He wanted me to see this and I’m glad I did.
I think you can link laziness with lust; like the quote 'idle hands are the devil's playthings'. Personally, if I oversleep or am not doing anything productive, I can fall into lust out of boredom. So you are so right it is all linked.
im so glad i came across your page. i have been struggling with sin, even avoiding coming back to God and I'm just thankful.
May God bless you greatly Brexten for sharing this to us because often times I see laziness as just a normal part of life and don't acknowledge that God really doesn't want us to be lazy. I pray that God will help us overcome laziness in our wal with him in Jesus name. Amen.
Hey, I’m not gonna lie, this message just cleared my mind, like crazy. Listening to that, I was looking to my life and I was the type of person like when there is job to do, I was like : “ maybe after, not this time, I don’t feel like it” but your message just gave strength, humility and gratitude to say to myself : “ hey, God gave you time, use it wisely.” Thanks 🙏🏾 For real men.
- It’s irrigate to think that you’re going to do things tomorrow. The better way is to think if it’s God will to do it
- laziness and procrastination is a sin, because it’s assuming God will give you another time to do something.
- Humble yourself, God has given you 12hrs a day to do what you need to do everyday.
- Time is a gift, God doesn’t owe you anything. Use your time wisely, don’t waste the time that God has given you.
- Be grateful for the time God has given you, this is the true way to get over laziness.
- Be humiliated. You must not waste the gift of time that God has given you.
- Gratitude and being humble is the true way to get over laziness.
Proof that laziness is bad in the bible:
Colossians 3:23
1 Timothy 5:8
Proverbs 10:5
Proverbs 26:15
James 4:13 - 16
It tells us to not be prideful with what we decide to do tomorrow. It’s only in God’s will for what he truly chooses us to do tomorrow. Be thankful if God even gives you a chance to breath tomorrow
proverbs 6:6 - 11
Go to the ants and observe how much they work. They have no boss, yet they are always working. consider its ways and be wise.
Ephesians 5:15 -16
Be grateful for your time and spend it humbly.
Do you have IG ?
I PRAISE YOU GOD for recommending this message over and over again which I've been feeling lazy to watch and procrastinating all those time. Please bless this brother and thank you for using him only for the GLORY OF YOUR NAME JESUS, AMEN.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate how you repeat & reiterate elements of the word bc some stuff goes over my head & then hearing it rephrased makes it click! Bless you
Thank you, this video found me in one day after I asked god for help. I needed to be humbled
(Opened my RUclips and this video 😂) I’m a sluggard right now! 😭 slothful! Sinful! Pray for me! Also new in Christ 🫶🏼
I even watch laziness videos and read lazy resources 😂😅. I wasn’t like this until I got depressed and now it’s like a snowball effect trying to dig myself out. It’s the most annoying thing ever. I used to judge the lazy now I’ve become the judged. True story. Pray for me please.
Keeping you in my prayers!
@@Ultwa thank you! ☺️
It gets better. Take it one day at a time
Don't beat yourself up. Accepting that there are other factors that contribute (such as depression) and not just blaming yourself can help you work on a fix. God is kind, and patience is a virtue.
I can give you my number.
I feel like this really was sent from God for me to see. This past month I’ve been dealing with so much procrastination and laziness especially with getting into the word and I asked God to help me and my yt isn’t filled with a lot of Christian content so seeing this randomly and it being super specific further makes me believe this is the answer to my prayer. Thank you ❤️🩹
BROTHER… God is going to bless you for this, I’m starting my own podcast and this word was so incredibly touching and I even have my mom shocked because exactly what you spoke about is what I prayed about. God speaks through his children to not even touch just the lost but the even the children who need to hear something directly from him 💗🙏🏽🫶🏽‼️💕Thank you Jesus
Wow God is so good and he loves us so much!
i think it was you whom i saw on tiktok that talks about procrastination is a product of pride. that kind of planted to my mind and now i think that everytime i am feeling lazy to do something, i get this thought that "what if this your last day and you wouldn't have another day of chance to do this?" and that lead to thanking God every time I wake up because it means He gave me another chance to redeem myself, to do the thing i left yesterday and that is so beautiful. thank you for video and i pray that you'll reach more fellows.
Parable of Talents helped me a lot, remember how confused i was with my path and randomly one day i was in the bus and a video came up about the parable. Sometimes i fear to do a step but knowing Holy Spirit put me on this road for a reason i feel greatful! Tomorrow is important day in my life, first day of internship which will last few weeks, if i succeed i will get the first job in my life and most importantly with my profession, pray for me 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video and the reminder about the talents we are given from the Holy Spirit, Amen.
I pray that you soon get a job that God has in store for you😊
i’ve just started to get closer with the lord and this definitely spoke to me , thank you🤍.
I think the old saying "idle hands are the devils workshop" is so spot on. The reason the devil can talk you into things when you are idle is because your mind isnt on anything. He can fully torment you and talk you into sin when your brain is "off". If you are lazy and just sit around all the time, your mind is off and you can also fall into depression that way. And lust can go back to laziness because if you are sitting there doing nothing with your phone in your hand, it is easy to turn to porn. This is a good message brother it has been on my mind lately too.
I'm crying while watching this. I realized that because of my laziness, I have neglected my calling. Thank you for this reminder! This is what I need to hear rn. God bless 🙏🏻
Arrogance has such a harsh picture because we rarely hear that word - but the Bible definitely tells us how foundational pride is to all other sins (Lucifer in Isaiah 14, the pride of life in 1 John 2)
Whoever wants to become great must become a servant. Just like Christ, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10)
So good. I like the framing of this. Gratitude does help us find more energy.
I’m 7 months late hearing this but I think it’s God’s timing which made me find it now. Thank you for spreading the Lord’s word. I needed to hear this 🥹🙏
I joined this video precisely because I was lazy, so I saw this video and thought "hmm interesting", and now I'm perplexed how God managed to catch me off guard yet again!
You were the first thing that popped up that talked about God so I clicked it … I’ve been soooo busy & haven’t been in my word so ik this was for me. I was doing a crochet project while watching. I stopped to eat. Said after I ate I would finish the project THEN I would read my word. My daughter just fell asleep. I was thinking to myself
“I was put here to bring more ppl to God. Yes, I’m allowed to enjoy the things I like but FIRST I need to give back to God” that right there let me know to get up & get my bible & journal. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the word Braxten! Another thing that the Holy Spirit reminded me of throughout the video was when David got lazy and didn't fight on the Battlefield, it led to the sin he committed with Bathsheba, which was lust. God bless!
God is amazing 👏 I just prayed to God asking for help because of my laziness I've distanced myself from him, and I suddenly get a thought to come onto yt and this is what shows up 😭❤ thank you so much for this message sir, all of your videos help me come closer to Jesus❤ God bless you
Thank you for this episode! I've been struggling to focus on my tasks all day, and this episode was a helpful reminder to remember each day is a gift from God! :)
Am 15yrs old but connect with this a lot as most kids in our generation seek life in a screen with fame and money that just feeds our flesh not soul and I won't lie but I was over 5 hours glued to my laptop or phone and every night a voice would ask me what was something worthy I actually did today because I have spent my time on a phone; time I wont get back of just praising people in my phone when I should start with me so I thank you Braxten for reminding me there's someone bigger than I that I should really praise For the little things he has given me like life; health and a family
You have no idea how timely it is that this video has come onto my page, thank you Braxton
as someone who really struggles with this, this really helps me out, I have struggled with laziness a lot this year and just doing stuff last minute has always been just my thing, but thank you Lord for bringing this on my feed, I want to play college soccer and I know that one of the main things holding me back is laziness and procrastination, truly bless your soul and thank you so much for giving me some much needed guidance.
Thank you for this much-needed message! I went straight to being productive because I got caught being lazy. "Laziness is a sin," my morning reminder now.
“Use the time God gives you wisely “ so real 💯💯
Thank you! I was dealing with laziness and victimizing myself! I hear you, thank you.
Aku melihat episode ini lalu aku sadar bahwa,waktu adalah anugerah yang di berikan Tuhan kepadaku dan anda. Salam dari Indonesia Tuhan yesus memberkati 😇😇
fun fact about the ants: there are actually types of ants that collect fungi from plants, carry it back to their colonies, and grow the fungi in little 'farms' to use as food. I'm a bio major and I LOVE learning things like that because it convinces me more and more how beautifully our Creator designed the earth.
I’m new to this channel, but I got to say that I think this is the first Christian content creator close to my age that actually encourages you to get close to God to be with God, not for money. This video convicted me cause yeah now that I think about it I have been arrogant thinking that I have tomorrow to read my Bible or pray or simply get close to God. That arrogance has lead me to backslide and because of my arrogance I don’t go to the Lord. Thank you for this message. May the Lord shine his face upon you and bless you with wisdom so that you can continue teaching His word.
I had to pause this a few times and take a minute bc I felt soo exposed. Like a literal throat, chest and gut punch! Thankful for this…
So good Braxten!!! Unfortunately my whole life has been lived as the third slave but with Him He is bringing me out, so thank you for listening to the Word He placed in your heart to share it with us!
