      Hey 👋 Sister in the Lord. I been a part of the YT family for 2+ years now and I started and continue to watch you because I’m on a restoration and spiritual journey in life and your channel not only provide the guidance I need but, it’s providing with growth and the desire to want to learn more… Sometimes, journeys take more time than we expect but, when you find faith based community it makes it feel so much more comfortable and exciting. ❤ Thanks 🙏 for sharing the word! I don’t have Instagram or social media but, if I am the winner I can most definitely forward you my email 😉

      For me, that phrase means something very similar. It means God knows what’s ahead even when we don’t, and that’s why we are called to trust Him. I shared in a vid a couple weeks ago that we as people are often nearsighted, but God sees FAR ahead, so everything we experience or that He allows us to go through will be “for such a time as this.” There’s a reason & a purpose 🙌🏾

      Hi sis Melody! I came across your channel last year when I needed to learn how to do Bible study and hear and listen to GODs word, I been through so much with my baby girl, that brought me closer to the LORD ; that he has done a miracle on her, he heal my 1yr old daughter. GOD IS GOOD. HE works in mysterious way s and I’m blessed that he put me in the position I needed to be In. Also, blessed I came across your channel to help me how to start reading my bibje and how to understand it. God bless you 😊🫶🏻 Keep growing on your channel

    What stood out to me the most was that relief and deliverance would come with or without Esther. God calls us to missions and places and people to assist with his plan but he doesn’t need us he can make it happen any type of way. If we don’t walk in obedience with our calling he’ll get it done regardless, and when mordecai told her she won’t be saved by being in the kings palace it’s a wake up call. We can’t be disobedient and think we’ll glide by, or think the cup will pass us when we’re not sensitive to God’s instructions.

    If I perish I perish! Like this is so defining! It reminds of when the 3 Hebrew boys said even if God doesn’t save them from the fire they won’t bow down to the king. To do what God has placed for you to do even if you don’t know the outcome, to have the faith and being obedient is so profound!

    I feel like verse 14. Just makes you have reassurance to not lean on your own understanding, but just remembering that God puts us in places and makes us go through stuff even though we can’t see what’s going on we have to have faith and give all our worries to him to know that everything will be all right in Jesus name❤

    I was reading the book of Esther just couple days ago and something that kept standing out to me is the fact that Hattach kept the conversation confidential. He could’ve went to Haman and told him Esther is a Jew and things could’ve went differently, so just as God used Esther and Mordecai, he used Hattach in a big way too.

    Hey Melody, I am a newbie from South Africa.
    I started the SPEAK LIFE SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE, one of my goals was spiritual growth and learning more about God that's how I stumbled upon your channel. I have binged and I finally bought myself a bible at 26 years old ( I usual use any Bible in the house now I have my own)
    I have been loving your channel and I have learnt so much about interpreting the Bible, relating and reflecting the word unto my life and new stories from the Bible.

    Esther 4:14, Everything that we go through is preparing us for what God has for us. Nothing is wasted. Even the bad experiences prepares us for a such a time that is to come. It is those times we have to trust God that what we has for us is not to harm us. It is for our good. What we go through we grow through. Blessings, Melody!

Today I’m closer to God than I’ve ever been. I’ve had to depend on him for the smallest of things. I thank God for your channel. I’ve learned how to study and gotten so much encouragement from your channel. Thank you for letting God use you.❤

    I came across your RUclips channel a little over a year ago (late-August/early-September 2022)! I was in search of encouraging, faith-based YT videos that I could watch weekly to hold myself accountable in my walk with Christ. Your YT and IG channels have been SO AMAZING and truly helped me navigate through some of life's most trying seasons. You are such a light! -- "For such a time as this" to me cross references to Hebrews 12:2. It means, sis, you are walking in an answered prayer right now -- we have to have the same faith in Jesus, the only one with the master plan, regardless of what things may look or seem like -- we must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus!

    I found your channel last year after losing my grandma during the my senior year of college. At the time of her passing I was faced with almost being homelessness with my brother and son to take of ( my grandmother was the sole provider while I worked on completing school ) My faith in God was tested ! However "mYour channel has been a source of solace and inspiration during the most challenging time of my life. Your content helped me find moments of joy and positivity amidst the grief. I'm truly grateful for your presence and the comfort it brought me."

    God led me to your channel about a month ago, and I'm so grateful 🩷🙏🏼
    I have been in a pretty dark place the last two years. I left an abusive marriage and have had to completely restart with my two beautiful boys. But in August, I surrendered it all to God and rededicated my life to Him. I prayed I could find podcasts, channels, and people to follow, along with reading my Bible, who would help me grow closer to Christ and I opened up RUclips and one of your videos was right there on the home screen. I clicked it, immediately loved and connected with you, subscribed, and have been watching ever since!

  • @simplyprichele

    I don’t typically comment on your videos, but I always like them because I feel like they relate so much to me & my journey with God. I have been following you for about a month now, because I was looking for more faith based content on YT. That had Bible Study content & Bible breakdown content. I really enjoy the videos you post & look forward to them on a weekly basis. They have become a part of my Bible study sessions on Mondays. So thank you so much for your great content. 🤗🙏🏽❤️🦋

  • @JustJade8
    @JustJade8 9 месяцев назад +1

    I love how Mordeci reminds Esther in verses 13-14 that she is also a Jew and that just because she is in the King’s house she won’t be able to escape. It was like a dose of reality. Then for him to follow it up with telling her that she was likely placed in such a position of power for such a time as this. I imagine that when Esther was told this she knew it was GO TIME! She didn’t continue to doubt but sent back clear instructions on what to do and she was ready for whatever the outcome would have been. It’s also a reminder that God doesn’t put more on us than we can bear. Everything happens for a reason.
    Me finding your channel was divine timing. I had been feeling like God had been trying to speak to me and draw me closer to him. One morning after listening to some affirmations at work your video “3 Signs God is Shifting You” popped up on my newsfeed ,and I have been locked in ever since. Your channel has been such a blessing in my life. Thank you 🙏🏾

  • @sdkoranteng
    @sdkoranteng 9 месяцев назад +1

    This was another gem. I know anytime I see a new video from Melody, it’s going to bless me in ways unimaginable because you are truly His servant. “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” We don’t know how our actions are connected to someone else’s destiny.
    I have been following you since March 2021, when I watched your video on the a Daniel fast. Your last video about letting God do the impossible encouraged me to move in the face of doubt too. Thank you for blessing us by letting God use you

    How I came about this channel... I had a neighbor who would always walk me through my new walk with God (after my divorce). I realize now, I relied on her too much for my salvation. I called her constantly at always requested for her to help me with this and that regarding my faith. She became a crutch. God had to intervene and remove her so that I would walk on MYNOWN STRENGTH! She moved to Colorado! I then was forced to have to do this on my own, and I DID IT. Looking through the channels I came across your smile and a caption that grabbed my attention. I click on it and was immediately overcome by the feeling of sisterhood. I also share channel with my colleague at work. Now I do my Bible study and my walk on my own spiritual strength and on Monday's I learn the word with my friend.

    Esther 3:14 means to me that no matter if we move; God will move. BUT why not be be obedient to His calling. I need to let the Lord use me and trust His will. I found you a couple months ago. I’ve been hungry to get more into His word and I found Kaci’s RUclips. And then one of your videos popped up on my home page saying “Kaci’s viewers also watch this channel”. And here I’ve been. It’s been edifying! Congratulations and God continue blessing you for His glory💞

I clicked on day …. And I’m glad I did ( I will keep clicking)… thank you so much sis! Your light is so bright! keep going, Sis! God bless you! I love ya Sis! Can’t wait for more!

    Mordecai encouraged Esther to step out in faith by telling her what will happen if she decides not to help the Jews. It is interesting to me how initially Esther reacted in fear then she exercised faith and seek God to face the king.

  • @analea6531
    @analea6531 9 месяцев назад

    Our Lord does everything for a reason. Perhaps he knew Esther was the one who could help her people out of that deadly trap, yet she still needed to be reminded to trust God, to not rely on the rules of this world, to not fear, to not rely on her own understanding and perception of herself and to be confident in the fact that God is the only one who qualifies us for a mission he has for us. The lord can use all of us for his glory no matter our background, our current situation, our doubts and failures. And more importantly if we refuse the mission he will find some else to do it and we will just loose his favor for a moment of doubt. Congratulations on 331K and thank you for this Bible study. To God be all the glory amen 🙏🏾

    I found your channel around this time last year! I had prayed about how I felt like I didn’t have anyone who I could go to for guidance on my walk with Christ after my grandma passed. I randomly got on RUclips later that day and found your video on God using out trials to bring us closer to him. Your videos always pop up when I need a little navigation down this path so thank you for what you do. I’m a firm believer that God uses us to answer each others prayers because I lost my study Bible at the beginning of the year and haven’t been able to replace it so I’ve just been using the Bible app on my phone; keep being an inspiration to everyone sis 🩷

    Hi Melody! I too am a newbie! I would say a few months ago now. As I continue to grow and heal through a season of loss and grief, months ago I simply hungered for the word of God. Through uncertainty and an unfulfilling season I choose to trust God and find direction and purpose in His word. That said, your love for the word of God is evident and draws a soul that hungers for righteousness.
    It is calming ,convicting, encouraging and inspiring to study with you as well as simply listen to your faith based post every Monday. My journey is certainly blessed by being apart of your RUclips family. Thank you for real and relatable approach to sharing God’s word. Simply refreshing! Congratulations!

    I found your channel when you posted your testimony! It was so profound and truly showed the power of God. I believe” for such a time as this” means that the God gave Esther the gist of beauty and influence and used his servant Mordeci to remind her that to trust him and that’s he destined in that moment to reveal his Glory. Though death was the option God used her to soften the King’s heart and save His people.

    I watched you for the first time on July 1st. I went back in my journal and that day I wrote what I wanted to see happen in my life for the second half of the year. At the same time I also expressed feeling the farthest from God I have ever felt in my life. Your videos have helped so much. I don’t feel as much pressure or impatience as I usually feel. I’ve gotten into my word more and even asked my mom for a really pretty Bible for my 27th birthday earlier this month. I made the intention to tithe and have done so for a couple of months now after arguing with my dad about it several times before for suggesting it to me, knowing I’m not confident in my finances yet. Thank you so much for doing what you do🩵

    I located this channel a month ago and found it resourceful and helpful. I like how you break down the scriptures and help us apply them daily. I like the SOAP method. It truly allows us to delve into the scriptures. You are very welcoming and encouraging, which is refreshing. I like your approach to encouraging us to read and study the bible and apply it to our lives. It seems as if we are friends but never met. I thank God for giving you the courage, wisdom, and dedication to create this channel to help us invite God into our lives and live a purposeful life he created for us. I pray you continue spreading his word because he chose you to help him in this area.

    About a year and a half ago I felt like God was breaking me to bring him to him once and for all. I always go on RUclips to watch reality tv clips but I ran into your video and I have been following and watching since. I feel like it has been helping me because I’m new to this level of surrender and commitment to God. The last video I watched was about your fitness journey and how that ties to serving God and I joined and committed to the gym 4 times a week. So thank you!!!!

    Hello everyone! I’m not exactly sure when I found your channel. I know it was within this last year, when I finally surrendered and started to lean on the God of love, mercy, and forgiveness. For so long I fought through life on my own because I believed in a God I wasn’t very fond of and was convinced didn’t like me much either. Your channel has been such a blessing to me on my journey. I have joined one or two of your Bible studies since then. Thank you for allowing him to use you to help people like me!❤️

    i feel like i’ve been misinterpreting Esther 4:14 this whole time.. i love how you’re so open to breaking down these verses! i found your channel earlier this year just by suggestion and i’ve loved your videos ever since! ❤

    I believe the last part of verse 14 really highlights that we all have a purpose for our existence not just any purpose but a divine purpose.

    I was blessed to find your channel when I was really focusing on rebuilding my relationship with God. As a child I was raised in Church and as a little girl I had a fire for Jesus. As I got older and moved out on my own I became lukewarm and I really had lost my way. I went through a few traumatic life experiences that brought me back to God. One day after a bible study group discussion I logged in to RUclips and found your video on Holy Habits it really helped me and I have been watching your channel ever since.

    If I perish, I perish stood out to me because it really shows a posture of faith I long to have. I found your channel a year ago after an annulment . Your short videos were so rich and encouraging. Congrats on 330k!!

    Hi Melody, Congratulations on 331k subscribers. I came across your channel about a little over a year ago. I was scrolling on RUclips and I came across your channel and I clicked on your channel and started to watch. I found your channel interesting since you were talking about God and the Bible. Right then and there I subscribed to your channel cause I wanted to learn more about the bible. I don't want to bored you with my life history but I was in the pentecostal religion since I was a child and my dad was a minister. When I got older I was no longer in the religion. I stopped going to church. I pray at night before going to bed. Now I read the bible in the morning when I get up before getting ready to go to work and I pray at night before going to bed. Sorry for such a long comment. God bless you and your family always 🙏. Take care.

    Congratulations!!! Earlier this year, I had the epiphany to not just use RUclips for my music playlists, but to incorporate RUclips videos into my daily devotions, and your channel was the first one I found! You explain things in a way that helps me truly understand the word and how to study it. I also really appreciate your transparency because it helped me to normalize my thoughts and concerns.

    I stumbled upon your page about 8 months ago. I was looking for someone to teach about studying the Bible but at the time you was doing 2 days a week. But I heard more of the content and see the Channel to be peaceful and it had a positive feel to it and I have also told my friends who are new to the faith to follow you because of the calmness of how you speak and it’s good teaching. 😊

    I found your channel during 2020 when I was struggling with my relationship with God and Christianity. I stumbled across your New Age religion video and it helped me realize that my faith was being manipulated. Since then, I’ve watched your videos over the years and I can now say your videos and they are now part of my weekly routine of carrying God with me throughout the week.

    Verse 16 stood out to me, its the courage that she had knowing the ending might not be what she is hoping for but, she holds so much loyalty in her faith with God the father and her people that she is willing to do what is necessary to protect them all.

    I found this channel when I made the decision in my walk to control the music and entertainment I was allowing myself to digest. It hasn’t been easy to find genuine God fearing women to build community with, but I truly feel so connected to you whenever I watch your videos. Your positivity is so encouraging and I am so thankful God led me to this channel.

    Hello Melody! I discovered your channel just last month on a Monday, during a time when I was going through a spiritual dry spell, struggling with my faith and battling unbelief. It was as if God led me to your channel, and it has truly been instrumental in helping me navigate through those challenging moments. And in conclusion, I want to express my deep appreciation for you, please continue being the Godly woman that you are. I truly admire and love what you do.

    Hi Melody. I found your channel in March of this year (2023). It was a time in my life when a Christian friend of mine told me I wasn’t “Christian enough.” I began having doubts about my own faith and path. I’m not sure how I came across your channel, but know it was miraculous. I needed your videos during that time of my life.

  • @valenciac6115

    Hey sis I love your Bible study video I love your answers and I can definitely say verse 14 spoke out to me like you said trusting in God is so important and Mordecai had that trust to trust God no matter the outcome or the situation and I can definitely say it’s trusting God and having Faith in the Lord and relying on Him and walking by faith not by sight!!! And how I found your channel I was looking up Christian content for me to get closer to God and every since I been watching you I did stop and I started again but I love your channel I love how you talk about God how you break things down and how you let the Holy Spirit speak to His people and different things that we are struggling with and how we can trust God and a lot of things that God is reveling to us that we didn’t realize you are genuine, and so pure and just a beautiful woman on fire for God🥰

    I subscribed to your channel after finding you when looking up how to study the Bible with the soap method. Before I decided to give my life to Christ about 4 months ago I had never picked up a bible so I didn’t know where to start. And I thank God for people like you, who uses your platform to share wisdom to others like myself. Thank you ❤

    12:24 pm I came across your video because I’m always searching either Bible studies or Christian content. It’s always encouraging to watch positive and biblical videos. Esther is one of my favorite books. I find it interesting that I would come across this message on my first day of fasting as well as on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, day of Atonement. BFor such a time as this to me means that God already paved the way and prepared you spiritually for your assignment. Blessings!

    Hello, I have been watching your videos for some time. I know it was before you got married and started your beautiful family. Your spirit and how you moved forward with the channel have helped me to understand the Bible more. I also received your purpose pamphlet, and this has helped me to stay more focused on how God is using me and giving me direction for my life. I love how you always reference God showing up in our lives and how we have to learn from these circumstances and experiences. Thank you for just being true to your assignment and not falling to the convictions of the world. Stay blessed.

    I found your channel when I just turned a Christian about a year ago. Wanted content that spoke about God, how to grow your faith and more about this path and I love your content ! I am waiting every Monday for your video though not always get to see it on Mondays I know for a fact I have a video to watch each week. Good luck to all brothers and sisters!
    For the verse, my interpretation would be that our way of living (at the moment) is for a reason. Example, the work you are at or the apartments you living. God had put us there for a reason, for the season we are in. Just nice to know it isn't forever it's temporary cause at the end God always got something better for all of us
