Deanna I’m so thankful that God has allowed access to him through this shared space of community. I’m 19 - and it’s many odds against me. I’m breaking generational behavior and my family looks at my rejection of the traditional way to live as me failing at life. I’m so in love with God and what he’s spoken to my heart and they continue to tear me down from my cloud and safe space with God but his hand and strength pulls me into another height of safety every-time. It’s only when I mentally look away from God’s authority that I fall. It’s a muscle he’s currently exercising with me and I’ve started to feel the gains already. I just desire to be forever in depth and intimacy with God. I was the most stubborn, scared and doubtful person ever - God broke those labels off me and to whoever is struggling he will do the same! Thank you Deanna for showing up and sharing these parts of God with us! God’s mind was perfect when he created you, he knew the world would need a you. ❤️
“I can be Mary and Martha at the same time” wow. Thank you Deanna ❤️ a while ago I was told that I am remind a relative of Martha because I’m always so busy in the kitchen and doing house work when people come around. I was upset because I thought “does this mean I don’t sit at the feet of Jesus and pour my best out on Him?” I also thought, how can I be both of them? But the Holy Spirit gives me the ability. What a revelation, thank you mighty woman of valor. God bless you.
Testimony: At the beginning of this year the Lord told me to surrender but he told me let me do it. Don’t try to force anything. So for months I was trying to walk that out all the while applying for jobs because I wanted to start my career. So after applying to seem like 100s of jobs and having trouble completely surrendering to God I let go. I put everything in God’s hands, my heart, life, and career situation. God exhausted all of my options so I can completely trust and get to know him. Yesterday, I just got offered a job that’s paying me good money and helping me relocate and I know it’s by God’s hand and not mine so it’s right for me. To anybody in this situation, I would tell them to stop focusing so much on the outside first. Trust and Let God fix the inside then the things on the outside will be fix as well. God bless 🙏🏽
I love that this was the first comment that popped up for me, because this hits so close to what I’m experiencing. Like yourself, I’ve been aimlessly applying for jobs of a result of being fired twice in a row. Like you said… I’ve exhausted all of my options. Not sure where the light is at the end quite yet, but thank you for sharing this. I needed it🤍
This is my life right now. 😢 I have been feeing “useless” because God literally has put a pause on my career, which I valued so so much. Everything pertaining to my career has been dragging (paperwork, interviews, contacts) literally everything. A part of me wants to panic and put it on the devil 😂 But deep down I KNOW it’s the Lord…. This is another confirmation that I should chill and let him take charge. Thank you for sharing🙌🏾
This is helping me.. because I'm walking through exactly what you are explaining and I have been for about three years now. I began to say things like "this cant be real life" I've felt so detatched from life and even good things felt dumb and purposeless. I had no language as to what was happening to me and to hear you say things I've brought to the Father is encouraging me so much. I'M NOT CRAZY!! LOL b/c that's how I've been feeling. and there is so much more God has ahead for me. For all of us! Thank you! Keep going..youre needed for such a time as this
This teaching is very accurate. I'm being stripped down and in the beginning I didn't realize that it would get this raw. I prayed that God would get me to where he wants me to go and to be completely dependent on him. Baybayyyyyy when I tell yall he heard me and now I'm going through exactly what I prayed for. I always say be careful what you pray for because it may not come in the way that you're thinking but the way that is best which is God's way and that sometimes can feel horrible. Now that I'm starting to understand what's happening im ok with whatever he wants to do with and through me. I accept it all because its gonna get me where he wants me and this life does not belong to me and also its teaching me to be patient and not to panic. I'm learning that nothing is controlled by anyone but by God. I am starting to understand that I'm not who I thought I was but who God created me to be. Its my own fault that I built this image of myself that was comfortable for me. Now I'm tired of me and this world that I build in and around myself. I am slowly being molded and stripped at the same time. I don't mind this process because as it carries out God is allowing me to see the progress that is being made. I am nowhere near complete but I am growing in spirit and also learning to turn to God instead of running and being silent. I know now that when I turn to him it helps so much and he does hear and see me. Thank you Jesus for this experience with you.
During my sophomore year of college I struggled with anxiety and depression. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and allowed that to be my label that was placed on myself not only from me but others as-well. Watching this has proven to me I am not the only person who has been through a season of stripping. I felt as if I lost everything now Im here today to say God has indeed filled my jar up and is continuously doing so. I pray everyone under this comment session and those who come across this video gets to experience the greatness of God.
Hey hun! 👋 just wanted to share quickly that a few weeks ago I felt a lump in my breast, and it was getting sore and itchy and red in the area. I was about to go see a doctor when I realized it was a distraction from the enemy from the anointing I had just received on importation days earlier. I prayed over it. Rebuked all disease and cancer. Woke up the next day and it was gone. No signs of anything wrong anymore. Hope this encourages you today :) keep on keeping on. Jesus gave us victory and we rebuke those distractions from the enemy. Ps. Love your content and book, it's a huge inspiration to me in this season of launching my own projects and first book. You're awesome! 🎉
Wow, this is exactly the place I am in now !!!!! I even said to myself today why do I feel so depressed and blue? I am not usually that type of person, but there’s definitely an unraveling going on in me and my life.!!! God is giving me clarity through this message…So now this deep dark place of not having any footing anywhere externaly and internally doesn’t seem so unsafe and scary now … it was keeping me from Chile resting in the Lord because it’s almost like I kept trying to find a place to put my feet down and there is none. It’s like that carpet gets pulled out from under you.!!! Wow but My God ….He is taking me someplace new 🙏
I was shown a hospital monitor in a dream I had. I didn't understand why. Well 9 days after seeing it my mom passed away. I'm a dreamer that sees things in a specific way. Its always a really quick flash just enough for me to understand what I am being shown. I always feared losing my mom since I was a kid. I'm now 36. Normally I don't understand or get any kind of explanation or clarity about what I see until what I see actually happens which is why I write it down with a date. I do that because its proof that God does talk to me and so I know that I'm not going nuts. So before all of this I started seeking Jesus. I thought that I would lose my mind or just lose all hope if anything ever happened to my mom but it was the complete opposite. I cannot explain how important it is to get to know the Lord. I say that because when my mom passed I actually was blessed with the peace that surpasses all understanding. God covered my heart and I still carry that peace to this day. I believe I cried maybe 4 or 5 times and did not grieve. People tried to tell me that I was in shock because I was so calm and ok. I kept telling them that I'm not in shock. I know that my mom is gone but I also know that God is good and knows best. I called out to him while they were doing cpr and said if you have to take her its ok and that I'm not angry and I do understand that control is his. When you get to know Jesus you will begin to see and understand how different things really are. I'm still doing just fine and when I have sad feelings or miss her I just go to him and tell him this and that feeling goes away. God is so good and real. If you have tried him and gave up or have never before I encourage you to try Jesus one more time or for the first time. U see to be one way and now I'm totally different as far as understanding and accepting whatever God does or allows is perfect and there is no mistake in it. I pray that this helps someone to start to heal or believe or just spark some curiosity about our father. He is sufficient and strong even when we are weak. Glory be to the most high God. Thank you sis for being obedient and allowing God to use you in such a mighty way. In Jesus name God bless everyone. Also if you think that you are alone in this world I can tell you from real life experience that you're not. Everything will be ok because God is in control.
This is so applicable to me right now, before I came in Christ, I’ve always had ‘my perfect life plan’ things were falling into places then I met Christ and everything changed. My perfect plan can’t work in God’s plan because his plan is not my plan. Recently, I feel I’m been pulled into this space that practically have no plan for my life and it just basically feels empty. I wanna do something but I’m told to wait or forget about it. Sometimes, I would cry and assume I probably did something wrong and that’s why I’m just here, but the lord would constantly tell me, his timing for me is different from other, so he just wants me to sit and unravel. Hallelujah, this video is comforting and relatable.
Knowing that the hidden place is seasonal is so comforting. The struggle was becoming real but it makes so much sense now why we get emptied so much..He is a God or order and in His time we will be used mightily ❤🙌🏾 what a revelation
This is exactly what I’ve been dealing with for the past few years, and I’m at a point where I’ve been asking “what’s the point?” and “if this is all it’s gonna be…”. So thankful for you being obedient and vulnerable.
2nd Corinthians 1:3-7 "Praise be to the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion & the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort & salvation; if we are comforted it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer and our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."
In the middle of watching this video this word fell in my heart “ before the Lord created havens and the earth the was nothingness, if you ever felt like you’ve lost everything in the process of being stripped of everything you just simply being made a clean canvas for the lord to create a new world within for you to live in harmony with him “ I Love you ❤️
I’m at the end of a very painful 3 year isolation season where God has caused me to remember and heal from roughly 9 years of SRA, child enslavement which turned into years of child sex trafficking. Specifically the last 18 months God has been ministering to me the very truths you’ve spoken about today. I have often thought I was crazy, laboring to understand my position as Daughter first before all other roles. Literally, you’ve confirmed word for word the very things God has been teaching me as He has dismantled my previous identity as a slave.
very deep insight. in my twenties i was stripped of all views and definitions, including that of definition of "church" God. For more than ten years I have been in an undefined space and place and maybe you are right, maybe one day I will feel that I am being placed into new definitions, thank you and be blessed 🥰
... thank you for answering God's call because wow I'm out of words, I'm so proud of you and I'm learning and receiving through the holy spirit in each and every sentence that comes out of your mouth. I can tell you've done the work, your spending time in God's word and in his presence. You ignite something in my spirit that makes me want to drink from that same cup your drinking from as in spending time with God. Thank you child of God. I'm in South african and I'm struggling to get your book. Your ear is healed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior ❤
Hey sister ❤ I was studying today and I came across this exact same example. In [Luke 1:18-20] Zacharias had asked for proof out of unbelief and was denied. Where as in [Luke 1:34-38] Mary asked for proof out of confusion and was accepted. [ read whole chapter] God is in you sis, keep doing his good work! ❤
I really really loved this message. I have went through that moment of being stripped of friendships, and distractions that I found security and identity in. He brought me within his arms and I spent a lot of time within his word and in prayer, learning about who he is and who he says that I am. And after that 2-3 month time with him, I felt the yes from him, because I refused when the opportunity was given, but it was persistent. I met God in prayer but I mostly complained of how I didn't think I was capable, I kept myself safe within the mindset of being empty, not fully believing in who he was calling me to be in that moment. I accepted the yes, and it has been three years and I never would have guessed to see myself in such a position. It makes me tear up to see that part of myself that I was such a stranger to. However, I think I got really comfortable in this area of my life and it seemed that everything that he built within me stalled and has been stalled for a while now. I feel him calling me to sit with him, to get back to the basics, and now its as if he is stripping me of the beliefs I have created of myself that has been influenced by the opinions of others, and stripping me of my distorted view of God, and revealing to me the pride that has grown in this area. Like today, he revealed to me how flawed in my perspective, how lost I got over time and I truly feel him calling me to a place of refeeding. Thank you Diana for this word. It was today that i recognized what God was doing, and it pained me a bit to see that I lost my way, and how what I thought was right wasn't right at all. But I sense that after this resting period that he will bring me out and continue me on towards what he has for me. May God continue to bless you and your family. From beginning to end your words have allowed me to truly self evaluate and turn back to God.
I just got chills after you explained the lying down in green pastures is refeeding. After I got saved the Lord would call me his little caterpillar. I was so excited to become a butterfly. He said you need to grow up first. You have lived on unhealthy and decaying leaves, now eat fresh and healthy leaves and grow! Thank you so much for this encouraging teaching!
Thank you for being a faithful servant. At every turn you are putting my thoughts into words. Which gives me understanding. I have been in the wilderness since the end of June. Being redefined. Your insights from the Lord have been helpful in my understanding this season
Thank you Deanna. You give the most vivid explanations and the most hilarious stories. You are much needed for a time like this. Thank you for allowing God to strip you, prune you, and re-build you together to feed us. Be Blessed.
I was feeling so very discouraged. And this video kept popping up and I was putting it off. But something in me kept telling me to watch it. And this video was EXTREMELY ALIGNED with my own situation. It’s like what you experienced, I’m experiencing. Exactly. Wow Thank You Jesus! 🙏🏼 I receive this message 🥹🫶🏼
So we’ll taught! Holy Spirit, please plant this deep within me and bring it back to my remembrance as needed. He wants me to sit before I walk, walk before I run.🙌🏽 I want you to believe in Me when everything around you says don’t believe in Him at all.🤯 Lord, I know the promises you have promised me, but if You do not perform those promises, You are Thee God of gods and Thee Lord of lords, in spite of. You are my Lord and Savior and I love You so very much.🙌🏽
You just triggered a revelation for me. In isolation is the space where God is raising you up. 😊 It’s the place where he was you to have less distractions in order to hear him teach you. As a Father does for his children. Rejoice in the isolation season because you are chosen😊🙌🏾
God gave so many things in the past, that I didn't even ask of which I am so greatful for. But lately I too feel like He's taking away so many things, not giving what I am asking for, so I am staying in this place where I am not expecting anything from him, as I'm afraid of getting disappointed in Him. I know I should be thankful for what I have right now, but I have turned into this hopeless girl who is okay with anything being taken away. It breaks my heart when I think about Him as He is probably sad looking at me like this, but I don't know how to get out of this place, I want to have hope in Him. I can relate to what you have gone through, thank you for sharing. Lots of love from India❤
I cannot even begin to explain how much I felt the Holy Spirit speaking to me and highlighting things through this lesson. I’ve been battling inadequacy and confusing it with the Lord wanting me to remain empty. I had a vision of what you shared about the sand jar in the form of 3 bottles one night that were on my dresser. One was a quarter full, the middle one was empty, and the third one was the tallest and completely full. He reminded me that the emptiness is transitional not a haven…thank you so much for your obedience in this.
I felt so alone in one part of my life I still do sometimes but before I use to cry in my room all night wishing someone would check on me or come to me and comfort me and tell me everything would be alright but it never happened. The only thing in those times that kept me going was YAHWEH himself I had this voice in my head who’d tell me to keep going anyways and that everything would be ok even when I felt like it wouldn’t, that voice kept my spirit high and positive all the time. I lost it and never realized it was him until it was gone and now I’m finding my way back
This video has brought me to tears because every single thing I have been questioning the Lord to the 'smallest' things I've been struggling with, needing answers to you have practically answered and I can see that God is with you. Thank you for listening to the Lord and thank you Lord for leading me to this video at such a timely time.
This is probably the most “on time” message that I’ve heard in years! This is literally exactly where I am. The stripping is the most difficult space that I’ve ever been in and although this isn’t the first time it is the most difficult because I’m being stripped from a role that I’m so recognized for. It literally feels like I’m having an outer body experience where my surroundings seem absolutely torn down but at the same time my spirit feels as strong as ever. I also understand that I’m being filled for the purpose to “GO” eventually and that is so settling but also like, you said where you’re like “Wait God but I love it here.” 😂 The dichotomy is crazyyyyy!!! Thank you again for this. This was so beautifully and graciously taught. You’re such a gem.
Thank you sooo much for your obedience and sharing your testimony. Im currently in the season of feeling numb because God is stripping me. It's tough and it really doesn't feel good at ALL😭 but your testimony has helped A LOT!
I loved this video it was very relatable , I have been there where i was depressed, confused and afraid of everything where people and myself thought I was losing it. I was stripped of my business and my job to learn to trust in the Lord and I have never gone hungry. He become my lover, my friend, my G, my provider and my comforter. I saw your video on instagram and read your book at the right time, which was a personal message for me. Today I am a totally different person because of the Lord. Thank you for obeying the Lord, you have touched so many lives. I pray that everyone builds a greater relationship with the Lord.
I just found you today and I finally found someone who has experienced this season in my life. Omg the unraveling and the stripping away of past memories and identity… I got so depressed and felt so alone. I’m finally starting to see a glimpse of what could be my true identity.
This was me so much and I'm only now finding some sort of stability but I don't want to get familiar and be standstill this message is hitting so many points as I mentioned in the Undoing community the Lord was and is teaching me how to be confident in my identity in Christ and what His will is practically in my life and He's really been so gracious to show me about being in His image and likeness Deanna as always my beautiful sister thank you for being the vessel God uses to bless us and confirm we are not crazy hearing from Him 😅💜
Thank you for sharing that - I'm being in that undefined place right now. (also not suicidal but just so done with my life sometimes) So your word are encouraging!
Wow ... This is what I needed cuz I'm in the same isolated, depressed place after giving up the hardest thing to be obedient to the Lord : a 12 year decent relationship ( I'm heartbroken) I was getting extremely anxious It's like I don't even have other believers to help me through it! This brings me so much relief that I can understand better what is happening and God has good intentions for me .
Yess Deanna I was at that place where I felt He had stripped me of even Himself. Worst period of my life. I had the same sentiment like what am I even doing here. Like what is life anymore. But when He revealed who He truly was...it was EVERYTHING! Bless your heart for this and please continue with videos like these
The past few months the Lord has been telling me to rid myself of certain men in my life that have been in my life for years. They were a comfortability, a safe space, that honestly, really wasn’t safe. But. Like you said… although it hurts, In my heart I know there’s more so I’ve walked away from them willingly. I’m at the point literally now where God is refilling my jar, with the affirmations of how HE sees me & who HE says I am. I feel like I’m in the hidden place, with no clue & right now it’s unbelievable what the Lord says about me….But I do know that later, these men & types of men… will be so far removed from my life because I’ll be walking in the knowing of who God says I am & not of who I say I am through the lens of the insecurities I’ve taken on. Wow. Deanna. I’m thankful to the Lord for these messages that he has called you to release.
How did you get to the place of willingness to let them go? I’ve personally tried over the years and some how still find myself back right with him. Now am at a point where I just want to deep dive into this “safe space that’s really not so safe” and I care about him a lot and I don’t want to hurt him either.
Honestly, the more I study the word, the more I’m willing to let go of things that aren’t of the father. I still struggle, but I am looking forward to more than to stay in what was safe. I know that these men confused me, and God isn’t a God of confusion. So I knew what I had to do. I pray that you’re released from the cycle. Because that’s what it is.
For me, when God told me three times to let go of this particular man , I refused. And then He went ahead and removed him from my life. This action allow showed me just how much God still has plans for me 😊
i read the title of this video and my jaw dropped. i’ve been so unsure about self-identity and who that is through the image of God. Thank you Deanna, and thank you Lord, for speaking to me through this video.
God is so good you all Through the last month I didn’t get any job.I’m a photographer and I was really broke I was writing in my journal on the 30th around 9am in the morning “I haven’t gotten any job this month but I believe God will provide a job for me today or tomorrow,I believe it’s not too late to get a job this month “ Within the timeframe,I message popped in and I got a job for the next day(31st) God is so so good you all.pls keep believing in him
Hi I am from Saint Lucia in the Caribbean. It's so hard tho. Like I see but it so sad that we have to go to such a length for Him even tho He does so much. Its exhausting. We go thru enough pain already just so He can make us go thru more to overly prove our self over and over again. We can't really blame persons for turning and not staying thru the end, it's Hard. There's nothing easy.
1:02:18 Hey sis! I was studying today and came across this same exact example. [ Luke 1: 18-20] Zacharias asked for proof in a place of unbelief and was denied. Where as in [ Luke 1: 34-38] Mary ask’s for proof in a place of confusion [ not unbelief] and was accepted. Thank you for doing his good work. He is definitely in you❤
This is sooo good. I my season of asking Him what’s next I 1:15:41 heard Him say “The brook dried up” And my response was😳” the brook dried up? What do you mean show me in your word. I would never say something like that. Led me to 1 Kings the story of Elijah being fed by the ravens which was temporary supply to now “Go” to Zaraphat to a widow. He’s showed me the areas where I am are dry and or being dried up. What do I do when where I am is where he sent me, the job that I’m at He opened the door, the church, with my family🤔I can’t get what I heard out if my heart.🙏
A soft and curious heart!!! To receive, seek, and meditate on what has been shared with an open mind. Every word you said pierced through, made sense, the confirmations, ❤ How can God be this timely 🥹 Indeed, He knows when to speak and release a word for us! For saying yes to the Holyspirit, thank you, Deanna ❤
Thank you for this Deanna.I pray for God's healing in your ear.May it work as it should.The Revelation of Psalms 23 really hit me.even the order of it shows the order in which God works,the way you are Feed and watered in the spirit then your soul is restored and then he leads you out into the path he ordained for you...that even when you end up in enemy territory.He brings into remembrance who he is and who you are that you prosper
Deanna, I am thankful for what God has been doing in you and it has a minister to me in ways I would have never had figured. I’ve been in a journey, of being freed from an emotional and psychologically abusive marriage of 33 years. My journey is longer than maybe what it should be, but it is what it is. I was first reading in your book Unraveled and at a dark moment, I applied just somethings I had learned and been encouraged in your book. I cried out to he Lord asking that he would be with me. Upon waking from a restless, sleep, and agonizing over my future father God through his Holy Spirit visited me and spoke so very clearly to my heart what he had for me. He instructed my heart in a very, beautiful way through his Scripture, that he brought to mind to let me know he was with me and had provisions for me and that I could choose those things if I wanted them. That day He calmed my soul…and has spoken numerous times over the past 2 months. I’m praying soon He will fully deliver me and walk me into His freedom. Thank you for serving our Lord and King.
What a gift this video is. Truly, it has given such language & permission for the experience I’ve been having. I needed to hear this because it’s so true when God is stripping what we know of him…. There is nothing like. Nothing feels safe! His light is shining brightly through you. An anchor of truth.
I'm grateful for this platform that you have where I'm learning more about God and examining these topics and seeing where it fits in this current chapter of my life. I'm currently in a waiting season mainly for career transition. Im in between jobs and currently door dashing. While door dashing I'm a content creator myself working on fitness/lifestyle content. IVe completely surrendered the whole job process and I'm jus taking this time to sit with any messages that God gives me through anywhere from the bible app to youtube visuals like yours and others. Just soaking in all of this information and finding out what I need to know in this chapter of life that coming next for me.
You are on the right track of seeking Him. Faith comes by hearing/reading the Word of God and without faith it's impossible to please Him. It is well with you sis ❤️
Sis! I was literally having this conversation with a friend a couple of weeks ago. God was right on time and this blessed my soul. God bless you sis and thank you for answering God's call
I will not build where there's potential compromise 😲! That was a WORD! I'm definitely in an isolation period and I'm being told to be still, listen, and learn. I have been stripped DOWN..sometimes I don't even know what to pray for. The days seem to bleed into one another...at the same time I know that I am exactly where I need to be. Please pray for me that I have understanding while in this place.❤🙏🏾
I felt as though the Holy Spirit reveal a lot to me in this video especially about being hidden also the stripping process I tend to define myself based off working out I also perfectionist tendency of striving I have to perform I tend to prefer works over sitting down with God. Also, i will say God communicate in varies way to get the message across. I notice in my relationship I usually ask him question he will answer in his own way through different ways. I love that you brought up the seasons where everything feel basically like nothing or blaaa also how you are hated life or living while still following God. I been through season I don’t want to attach to God it uncomfortable it the unknown I will get anxiety and the push him away. Also, grieving the things that made me feel safe.
This is my second time watching this message and I only realised halfway through that I’ve listened to it already😂 and both of these times I’ve watched it, it felt like such a timely message. It’s a refresher of what God has already said. And today, before watching it, I felt like no one would understand what I’m going through and feeling.. it turns out Deanna has been though what I’m going going through and understands❤ and she couldn’t have put it into better words than she has.
13:02 My GOD that’s how I felt in the beginning and now after years and taken through a tough patch in my life I am experiencing an unknown that feels scary. 16:33 exactly what do I do NOW? A question I ponder. 19:34 omg I felt like that too. Feeling BLAH about life. Yesss everything feels dumb. 22:17 yessss feeling like you don’t matter
I got used to defining myself as the things i've done or been through and now I'm struggling to surrender myself completely. It's happening but it is a rough time. I'm not used to feeling so alone at times or feeling so lost but I know I'll see the fruit if I allow myself to surrender more and more everyday.
God bless you, been following for a while on instagram and youtube and as much as I'm not a fan of long videos I'm always here with my bible and journal ready to feast on whatever God has led you to share and it's wonderful. With Love from Nigeria 😘
I know I'm late on this....but thank you for this! I am struggling with my identity and my purpose in life. I feel worthless and that God is angry with me because of the choices I've made. But I believe in His Grace and mercy.
Thank you for this, resonated with me so much. I thought I was the only one who tried the “Gideon trick” 😅. But this definitely helped me today. May God bless you ❤
Praying for your ear beautiful! Quick question, could you talk more about prayer and how to declare healing over your body? I have been trying to pray over my husband out loud every night and I know a prayer does not have to be said in a specific way and that God hears me, however, I am always interested in learning more on how to create the right heart posture along with using the power of prayer in a way that is pleasing to God.. Hope that makes sense!
Testimony: I was a heavy weed, tobaco, and alcohol addict. God delivered me from it all. I don't need to be high to experience true life, but I got Holy Spirit and truth. God bless you.💯
yk what the fill a cup of water part really had me but I certainly understand there were times I asked the lord to reveal something to me in order to believe and It was actually a lack of my belief/faith so filling ineeded.
Praying for you and healing. I have been experiencing almost the same thing in my ears. Off and on for about 3-4 months. It’s super irritating but I know it’s happening just to happen. For no reason. Feels like it’s clogged. Like everything is on monotone. Then it clears. But then it’s back the next day. it’s very strange and I’m coming against what is happening to you in the name of Jesus. I plead the blood over your ears and ask for supernatural healing to happen. I’m Jesus name.
If I’m being honest, I cannot speak from a place of willfully giving certain aspects to of my life or my identity to God. What has been stripped from me are not all things that I’ve willfully given up in the spirit of faith that there is more or that God has more for me. Even still, I can relate to being in a position where I feel like I am being stripped down to nothing. Having certain thoughts, beliefs and ideas removed from me to the point where I cannot even seem to remember what it is that I have learned about who God is let alone questioning it if I ever did really know him at all to begin with. It’s a terrible feeling. I don’t know if my spiritual lack disqualifies me entirely but just in case there’s anyone else struggling with allowing space for the message of this video for fear of unworthiness because you haven’t been actively seeking God or because certain things don’t line up verbatim to where you feel you are in your life or faith but you still feel a draw despite being terrified. If there’s anyone else here who may resonate with the message of this video but is afraid because they have been in period of opposition with God. I’m here too. And I think it’s okay. I think there’s still truth to take no matter where you are in your relationship with God. Conviction isn’t a closed door. Maybe it’s opening one that’s been shut for so long that it’s both painful and fearful to open it.
I want to take the time and share my testimony. It’s pretty similar to what some people said in the comments. But but my hole life I felt overlooked. But that’s just life you know when you’re a understanding person people don’t want to understand you. And that may be the reason why I been going through life like I had ship on my shoulder’s even in school I had a teacher tell me that I wouldn’t make in life. And I always felt like I couldn’t be my self around nobody. And for that I never really fit in groups. So in the majority, I just say to myself. And that always made me ? MySelf but I was a loving and caring person and I still am. but I still kept finding me questioning myself so me going through all of that. made me want to become successful growing up. but as I tried to do it on my own I wasn’t making any progress. I was finding myself going through circles, and I was getting frustrated and depressed. and then I started to lose friends I Was even distant from my family it felt like they just wasn’t seeing me at all but all. But that was god isolating me and preparing me and to have me focus on him to rely on him and trust him knowing that he’s in control. and that I don’t have to worry and that I’m not alone. But as I start to rely on him things was starting move in order. And there be times in prayer I ask what’s my purpose even though he told me to spend time with him through his word and to stay in prayer but i want my purpose to become a messenger to spread his word to those that need it and that’s lost. But I hope that did touch someone who might be going through there’s selfs or can relate.
Don’t give up!! God has so much in store for you. Just hold on and keep believing, keep trusting Him and seeking Him. There is peace and love in Him! I love you!
Why does it take so long for God to heal me when I asked him numerous of times to heal me from poor hygiene walking around smelling bad, no money in my bank, lost all my abilities, and living somewhere where I have been deeply wounded by a so called friend/neighbor!
Deanna, I thank God that I came across your insta page- randomley but I believe god was in control, thanks for sharing this video. I struggle with binge eating and have done so the last few days, i was trying to think what things is God trying to remove, what junk is He trying to rid that im holding onto, and i feel like He is saying I've carried that identity of being a binge eater for so long, to give that to Him because thats not me, even things that arent necessarily bad for me but to not put my identity into like running, even down to things i choose to share on social media, its like if i think about it deeper, sometimes (maybe most times) I share certain things because i want people to see me as someone who likes that kinda thing, someone who finds such and such funny, I want to be perceived as liek affiliating with those things (if that makes sense) I'm not too sure tbh but just some things that came to mind. I hope you are doing better anywho! May God continue to bless you (I also hope your ear is okay now- im a bit late listening to this so may be sorted already!) I pray you have a full healing and recovery from your cqr accident and anything else that needs His touch. Thank you Father, in Jesus name amen
I have a prayer request. I'm going through a really tough time right now. My head is a messy space. I'm battling what feels like so much right now.. I'm trying to stay strong for my sons sake. Please pray that I can move forward from the things that are weighing me down. I'm having trouble letting go of past hurts, traumas, and people. I'm trying so hard. But its like this stuff just keeps popping into my head. Recently an ex whom I've had a really hard time getting over tried to follow me on social media and while at first I thought "the audacity" but he appeared in a dream. And now I wanna know what his intentions are. It sounds silly I know. We didnt end on good terms at all and apart of me always wanted to apologize and move on in a healthy way and on better terms but I dont know how to go about doing this. I feel so guilty because I am married now. While my husband and I are not perfect and we have our issues as any couple does, I love him and all I want for him is to be closer to God and walk in the identity that God gave him. I want the same thing for myself. I'm just having a very difficult time right now. I appreciate the prayers and I'm blessed to have come across your videos!
Deanna I’m so thankful that God has allowed access to him through this shared space of community. I’m 19 - and it’s many odds against me. I’m breaking generational behavior and my family looks at my rejection of the traditional way to live as me failing at life. I’m so in love with God and what he’s spoken to my heart and they continue to tear me down from my cloud and safe space with God but his hand and strength pulls me into another height of safety every-time. It’s only when I mentally look away from God’s authority that I fall. It’s a muscle he’s currently exercising with me and I’ve started to feel the gains already. I just desire to be forever in depth and intimacy with God. I was the most stubborn, scared and doubtful person ever - God broke those labels off me and to whoever is struggling he will do the same! Thank you Deanna for showing up and sharing these parts of God with us! God’s mind was perfect when he created you, he knew the world would need a you. ❤️
Anyone else only hear the audio through one headphone? 😢 either way thank you for these they’re always on point ✝️
“I can be Mary and Martha at the same time” wow. Thank you Deanna ❤️ a while ago I was told that I am remind a relative of Martha because I’m always so busy in the kitchen and doing house work when people come around. I was upset because I thought “does this mean I don’t sit at the feet of Jesus and pour my best out on Him?” I also thought, how can I be both of them? But the Holy Spirit gives me the ability. What a revelation, thank you mighty woman of valor. God bless you.
Testimony: At the beginning of this year the Lord told me to surrender but he told me let me do it. Don’t try to force anything. So for months I was trying to walk that out all the while applying for jobs because I wanted to start my career. So after applying to seem like 100s of jobs and having trouble completely surrendering to God I let go. I put everything in God’s hands, my heart, life, and career situation. God exhausted all of my options so I can completely trust and get to know him. Yesterday, I just got offered a job that’s paying me good money and helping me relocate and I know it’s by God’s hand and not mine so it’s right for me. To anybody in this situation, I would tell them to stop focusing so much on the outside first. Trust and Let God fix the inside then the things on the outside will be fix as well. God bless 🙏🏽
Wow. Isn’t He amazing. Thank you for sharing this. Your testimony will encourage someone else to go one more day. This is no small thing. 🥹🫶🏾
I love that this was the first comment that popped up for me, because this hits so close to what I’m experiencing. Like yourself, I’ve been aimlessly applying for jobs of a result of being fired twice in a row. Like you said… I’ve exhausted all of my options. Not sure where the light is at the end quite yet, but thank you for sharing this. I needed it🤍
@@kayleekohler7028 all love. Glad this could help !
This is my life right now. 😢 I have been feeing “useless” because God literally has put a pause on my career, which I valued so so much. Everything pertaining to my career has been dragging (paperwork, interviews, contacts) literally everything. A part of me wants to panic and put it on the devil 😂 But deep down I KNOW it’s the Lord…. This is another confirmation that I should chill and let him take charge. Thank you for sharing🙌🏾
This is helping me.. because I'm walking through exactly what you are explaining and I have been for about three years now. I began to say things like "this cant be real life" I've felt so detatched from life and even good things felt dumb and purposeless. I had no language as to what was happening to me and to hear you say things I've brought to the Father is encouraging me so much. I'M NOT CRAZY!! LOL b/c that's how I've been feeling. and there is so much more God has ahead for me. For all of us! Thank you! Keep going..youre needed for such a time as this
I agree...I'm currently in this season, too😭
This teaching is very accurate. I'm being stripped down and in the beginning I didn't realize that it would get this raw. I prayed that God would get me to where he wants me to go and to be completely dependent on him. Baybayyyyyy when I tell yall he heard me and now I'm going through exactly what I prayed for. I always say be careful what you pray for because it may not come in the way that you're thinking but the way that is best which is God's way and that sometimes can feel horrible. Now that I'm starting to understand what's happening im ok with whatever he wants to do with and through me. I accept it all because its gonna get me where he wants me and this life does not belong to me and also its teaching me to be patient and not to panic. I'm learning that nothing is controlled by anyone but by God. I am starting to understand that I'm not who I thought I was but who God created me to be. Its my own fault that I built this image of myself that was comfortable for me. Now I'm tired of me and this world that I build in and around myself. I am slowly being molded and stripped at the same time. I don't mind this process because as it carries out God is allowing me to see the progress that is being made. I am nowhere near complete but I am growing in spirit and also learning to turn to God instead of running and being silent. I know now that when I turn to him it helps so much and he does hear and see me. Thank you Jesus for this experience with you.
During my sophomore year of college I struggled with anxiety and depression. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and allowed that to be my label that was placed on myself not only from me but others as-well. Watching this has proven to me I am not the only person who has been through a season of stripping. I felt as if I lost everything now Im here today to say God has indeed filled my jar up and is continuously doing so. I pray everyone under this comment session and those who come across this video gets to experience the greatness of God.
Hey hun! 👋 just wanted to share quickly that a few weeks ago I felt a lump in my breast, and it was getting sore and itchy and red in the area. I was about to go see a doctor when I realized it was a distraction from the enemy from the anointing I had just received on importation days earlier. I prayed over it. Rebuked all disease and cancer. Woke up the next day and it was gone. No signs of anything wrong anymore. Hope this encourages you today :) keep on keeping on. Jesus gave us victory and we rebuke those distractions from the enemy.
Ps. Love your content and book, it's a huge inspiration to me in this season of launching my own projects and first book. You're awesome! 🎉
Wow, this is exactly the place I am in now !!!!! I even said to myself today why do I feel so depressed and blue? I am not usually that type of person, but there’s definitely an unraveling going on in me and my life.!!! God is giving me clarity through this message…So now this deep dark place of not having any footing anywhere externaly and internally doesn’t seem so unsafe and scary now … it was keeping me from Chile resting in the Lord because it’s almost like I kept trying to find a place to put my feet down and there is none. It’s like that carpet gets pulled out from under you.!!!
Wow but My God ….He is taking me someplace new 🙏
I was shown a hospital monitor in a dream I had. I didn't understand why. Well 9 days after seeing it my mom passed away. I'm a dreamer that sees things in a specific way. Its always a really quick flash just enough for me to understand what I am being shown. I always feared losing my mom since I was a kid. I'm now 36. Normally I don't understand or get any kind of explanation or clarity about what I see until what I see actually happens which is why I write it down with a date. I do that because its proof that God does talk to me and so I know that I'm not going nuts. So before all of this I started seeking Jesus. I thought that I would lose my mind or just lose all hope if anything ever happened to my mom but it was the complete opposite. I cannot explain how important it is to get to know the Lord. I say that because when my mom passed I actually was blessed with the peace that surpasses all understanding. God covered my heart and I still carry that peace to this day. I believe I cried maybe 4 or 5 times and did not grieve. People tried to tell me that I was in shock because I was so calm and ok. I kept telling them that I'm not in shock. I know that my mom is gone but I also know that God is good and knows best. I called out to him while they were doing cpr and said if you have to take her its ok and that I'm not angry and I do understand that control is his. When you get to know Jesus you will begin to see and understand how different things really are. I'm still doing just fine and when I have sad feelings or miss her I just go to him and tell him this and that feeling goes away. God is so good and real. If you have tried him and gave up or have never before I encourage you to try Jesus one more time or for the first time. U see to be one way and now I'm totally different as far as understanding and accepting whatever God does or allows is perfect and there is no mistake in it. I pray that this helps someone to start to heal or believe or just spark some curiosity about our father. He is sufficient and strong even when we are weak. Glory be to the most high God. Thank you sis for being obedient and allowing God to use you in such a mighty way. In Jesus name God bless everyone. Also if you think that you are alone in this world I can tell you from real life experience that you're not. Everything will be ok because God is in control.
This is so applicable to me right now, before I came in Christ, I’ve always had ‘my perfect life plan’ things were falling into places then I met Christ and everything changed. My perfect plan can’t work in God’s plan because his plan is not my plan. Recently, I feel I’m been pulled into this space that practically have no plan for my life and it just basically feels empty. I wanna do something but I’m told to wait or forget about it. Sometimes, I would cry and assume I probably did something wrong and that’s why I’m just here, but the lord would constantly tell me, his timing for me is different from other, so he just wants me to sit and unravel.
Hallelujah, this video is comforting and relatable.
Knowing that the hidden place is seasonal is so comforting. The struggle was becoming real but it makes so much sense now why we get emptied so much..He is a God or order and in His time we will be used mightily ❤🙌🏾 what a revelation
This is exactly what I’ve been dealing with for the past few years, and I’m at a point where I’ve been asking “what’s the point?” and “if this is all it’s gonna be…”. So thankful for you being obedient and vulnerable.
Your voice is so calming, glad I found your channel. God is good 🕊️❤️
Thank you Deane for allowing God to use you to reach us , we have the taste of the Lord’s goodness through you ❤❤
2nd Corinthians 1:3-7
"Praise be to the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion & the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort & salvation; if we are comforted it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer and our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."
In the middle of watching this video this word fell in my heart “ before the Lord created havens and the earth the was nothingness, if you ever felt like you’ve lost everything in the process of being stripped of everything you just simply being made a clean canvas for the lord to create a new world within for you to live in harmony with him “ I Love you ❤️
I’m at the end of a very painful 3 year isolation season where God has caused me to remember and heal from roughly 9 years of SRA, child enslavement which turned into years of child sex trafficking. Specifically the last 18 months God has been ministering to me the very truths you’ve spoken about today. I have often thought I was crazy, laboring to understand my position as Daughter first before all other roles. Literally, you’ve confirmed word for word the very things God has been teaching me as He has dismantled my previous identity as a slave.
very deep insight. in my twenties i was stripped of all views and definitions, including that of definition of "church" God. For more than ten years I have been in an undefined space and place and maybe you are right, maybe one day I will feel that I am being placed into new definitions, thank you and be blessed 🥰
... thank you for answering God's call because wow I'm out of words, I'm so proud of you and I'm learning and receiving through the holy spirit in each and every sentence that comes out of your mouth. I can tell you've done the work, your spending time in God's word and in his presence.
You ignite something in my spirit that makes me want to drink from that same cup your drinking from as in spending time with God.
Thank you child of God. I'm in South african and I'm struggling to get your book.
Your ear is healed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior ❤
Hey sister ❤
I was studying today and I came across this exact same example. In [Luke 1:18-20] Zacharias had asked for proof out of unbelief and was denied. Where as in [Luke 1:34-38] Mary asked for proof out of confusion and was accepted. [ read whole chapter]
God is in you sis, keep doing his good work! ❤

It’s on kindle also! I got my online copy on kindle :)
I really really loved this message. I have went through that moment of being stripped of friendships, and distractions that I found security and identity in. He brought me within his arms and I spent a lot of time within his word and in prayer, learning about who he is and who he says that I am. And after that 2-3 month time with him, I felt the yes from him, because I refused when the opportunity was given, but it was persistent. I met God in prayer but I mostly complained of how I didn't think I was capable, I kept myself safe within the mindset of being empty, not fully believing in who he was calling me to be in that moment. I accepted the yes, and it has been three years and I never would have guessed to see myself in such a position. It makes me tear up to see that part of myself that I was such a stranger to.
However, I think I got really comfortable in this area of my life and it seemed that everything that he built within me stalled and has been stalled for a while now. I feel him calling me to sit with him, to get back to the basics, and now its as if he is stripping me of the beliefs I have created of myself that has been influenced by the opinions of others, and stripping me of my distorted view of God, and revealing to me the pride that has grown in this area. Like today, he revealed to me how flawed in my perspective, how lost I got over time and I truly feel him calling me to a place of refeeding.
Thank you Diana for this word. It was today that i recognized what God was doing, and it pained me a bit to see that I lost my way, and how what I thought was right wasn't right at all. But I sense that after this resting period that he will bring me out and continue me on towards what he has for me. May God continue to bless you and your family. From beginning to end your words have allowed me to truly self evaluate and turn back to God.
I just got chills after you explained the lying down in green pastures is refeeding. After I got saved the Lord would call me his little caterpillar. I was so excited to become a butterfly. He said you need to grow up first. You have lived on unhealthy and decaying leaves, now eat fresh and healthy leaves and grow! Thank you so much for this encouraging teaching!
Thank you for being a faithful servant. At every turn you are putting my thoughts into words. Which gives me understanding. I have been in the wilderness since the end of June. Being redefined. Your insights from the Lord have been helpful in my understanding this season
Thank you Deanna. You give the most vivid explanations and the most hilarious stories. You are much needed for a time like this. Thank you for allowing God to strip you, prune you, and re-build you together to feed us. Be Blessed.
I was feeling so very discouraged. And this video kept popping up and I was putting it off. But something in me kept telling me to watch it. And this video was EXTREMELY ALIGNED with my own situation. It’s like what you experienced, I’m experiencing. Exactly. Wow Thank You Jesus! 🙏🏼 I receive this message 🥹🫶🏼
Listening to this for the second time and the Lord continues to reveal new gems .
So we’ll taught! Holy Spirit, please plant this deep within me and bring it back to my remembrance as needed. He wants me to sit before I walk, walk before I run.🙌🏽 I want you to believe in Me when everything around you says don’t believe in Him at all.🤯 Lord, I know the promises you have promised me, but if You do not perform those promises, You are Thee God of gods and Thee Lord of lords, in spite of. You are my Lord and Savior and I love You so very much.🙌🏽
You just triggered a revelation for me. In isolation is the space where God is raising you up. 😊 It’s the place where he was you to have less distractions in order to hear him teach you. As a Father does for his children. Rejoice in the isolation season because you are chosen😊🙌🏾
God gave so many things in the past, that I didn't even ask of which I am so greatful for. But lately I too feel like He's taking away so many things, not giving what I am asking for, so I am staying in this place where I am not expecting anything from him, as I'm afraid of getting disappointed in Him. I know I should be thankful for what I have right now, but I have turned into this hopeless girl who is okay with anything being taken away. It breaks my heart when I think about Him as He is probably sad looking at me like this, but I don't know how to get out of this place, I want to have hope in Him.
I can relate to what you have gone through, thank you for sharing. Lots of love from India❤
It's God's wish that you don't lose peace passion and enthusiasm irrespective of what you have or don't have
I cannot even begin to explain how much I felt the Holy Spirit speaking to me and highlighting things through this lesson. I’ve been battling inadequacy and confusing it with the Lord wanting me to remain empty. I had a vision of what you shared about the sand jar in the form of 3 bottles one night that were on my dresser. One was a quarter full, the middle one was empty, and the third one was the tallest and completely full. He reminded me that the emptiness is transitional not a haven…thank you so much for your obedience in this.
I felt so alone in one part of my life I still do sometimes but before I use to cry in my room all night wishing someone would check on me or come to me and comfort me and tell me everything would be alright but it never happened. The only thing in those times that kept me going was YAHWEH himself I had this voice in my head who’d tell me to keep going anyways and that everything would be ok even when I felt like it wouldn’t, that voice kept my spirit high and positive all the time. I lost it and never realized it was him until it was gone and now I’m finding my way back
You should listen to some of his old preachings there’s this RUclipsr named Yahweh royalpriesthood who has a lot of his old teachings
This video has brought me to tears because every single thing I have been questioning the Lord to the 'smallest' things I've been struggling with, needing answers to you have practically answered and I can see that God is with you. Thank you for listening to the Lord and thank you Lord for leading me to this video at such a timely time.
This is probably the most “on time” message that I’ve heard in years! This is literally exactly where I am. The stripping is the most difficult space that I’ve ever been in and although this isn’t the first time it is the most difficult because I’m being stripped from a role that I’m so recognized for.
It literally feels like I’m having an outer body experience where my surroundings seem absolutely torn down but at the same time my spirit feels as strong as ever. I also understand that I’m being filled for the purpose to “GO” eventually and that is so settling but also like, you said where you’re like “Wait God but I love it here.” 😂 The dichotomy is crazyyyyy!!!
Thank you again for this. This was so beautifully and graciously taught. You’re such a gem.
Sis Gideon popped in my head so fast. All of this took me straight to his part in the bible. Its so relatable to this day.
Thank you sooo much for your obedience and sharing your testimony. Im currently in the season of feeling numb because God is stripping me. It's tough and it really doesn't feel good at ALL😭 but your testimony has helped A LOT!
I loved this video it was very relatable , I have been there where i was depressed, confused and afraid of everything where people and myself thought I was losing it. I was stripped of my business and my job to learn to trust in the Lord and I have never gone hungry. He become my lover, my friend, my G, my provider and my comforter. I saw your video on instagram and read your book at the right time, which was a personal message for me. Today I am a totally different person because of the Lord. Thank you for obeying the Lord, you have touched so many lives. I pray that everyone builds a greater relationship with the Lord.
How were you stripped? Did He ask you to quit? Or did you lose the job?
I just found you today and I finally found someone who has experienced this season in my life. Omg the unraveling and the stripping away of past memories and identity… I got so depressed and felt so alone. I’m finally starting to see a glimpse of what could be my true identity.
This was me so much and I'm only now finding some sort of stability but I don't want to get familiar and be standstill this message is hitting so many points as I mentioned in the Undoing community the Lord was and is teaching me how to be confident in my identity in Christ and what His will is practically in my life and He's really been so gracious to show me about being in His image and likeness Deanna as always my beautiful sister thank you for being the vessel God uses to bless us and confirm we are not crazy hearing from Him 😅💜
I love this series and how you point us back to the Lord; not to rely on you or others.
Thank you for sharing that - I'm being in that undefined place right now. (also not suicidal but just so done with my life sometimes) So your word are encouraging!
May God's peace dwell richly in you
Wow ... This is what I needed cuz I'm in the same isolated, depressed place after giving up the hardest thing to be obedient to the Lord : a 12 year decent relationship ( I'm heartbroken) I was getting extremely anxious
It's like I don't even have other believers to help me through it!
This brings me so much relief that I can understand better what is happening and God has good intentions for me .
Yess Deanna I was at that place where I felt He had stripped me of even Himself. Worst period of my life. I had the same sentiment like what am I even doing here. Like what is life anymore. But when He revealed who He truly was...it was EVERYTHING! Bless your heart for this and please continue with videos like these
Just want to say. My mother was a twin and her sister raised me. Their names were Mary & Martha. This message hits home !
The past few months the Lord has been telling me to rid myself of certain men in my life that have been in my life for years. They were a comfortability, a safe space, that honestly, really wasn’t safe. But. Like you said… although it hurts, In my heart I know there’s more so I’ve walked away from them willingly. I’m at the point literally now where God is refilling my jar, with the affirmations of how HE sees me & who HE says I am. I feel like I’m in the hidden place, with no clue & right now it’s unbelievable what the Lord says about me….But I do know that later, these men & types of men… will be so far removed from my life because I’ll be walking in the knowing of who God says I am & not of who I say I am through the lens of the insecurities I’ve taken on. Wow. Deanna. I’m thankful to the Lord for these messages that he has called you to release.
How did you get to the place of willingness to let them go? I’ve personally tried over the years and some how still find myself back right with him. Now am at a point where I just want to deep dive into this “safe space that’s really not so safe” and I care about him a lot and I don’t want to hurt him either.
Honestly, the more I study the word, the more I’m willing to let go of things that aren’t of the father. I still struggle, but I am looking forward to more than to stay in what was safe. I know that these men confused me, and God isn’t a God of confusion. So I knew what I had to do. I pray that you’re released from the cycle. Because that’s what it is.
For me, when God told me three times to let go of this particular man , I refused. And then He went ahead and removed him from my life. This action allow showed me just how much God still has plans for me 😊
Amen, im happy for you love 💕
Thank you so much for this Godly perspective 🙏❤️
i read the title of this video and my jaw dropped. i’ve been so unsure about self-identity and who that is through the image of God. Thank you Deanna, and thank you Lord, for speaking to me through this video.
God is so good you all
Through the last month I didn’t get any job.I’m a photographer and I was really broke
I was writing in my journal on the 30th around 9am in the morning
“I haven’t gotten any job this month but I believe God will provide a job for me today or tomorrow,I believe it’s not too late to get a job this month “
Within the timeframe,I message popped in and I got a job for the next day(31st)
God is so so good you all.pls keep believing in him
Hi I am from Saint Lucia in the Caribbean. It's so hard tho. Like I see but it so sad that we have to go to such a length for Him even tho He does so much. Its exhausting. We go thru enough pain already just so He can make us go thru more to overly prove our self over and over again. We can't really blame persons for turning and not staying thru the end, it's Hard. There's nothing easy.
This is so timely and Apt... THANK YOU
Gideon n his story helped me soooo much when God was breaking n molding me. God meets us where we are. ❤️
1:02:18 Hey sis!
I was studying today and came across this same exact example. [ Luke 1: 18-20] Zacharias asked for proof in a place of unbelief and was denied. Where as in [ Luke 1: 34-38] Mary ask’s for proof in a place of confusion [ not unbelief] and was accepted.
Thank you for doing his good work. He is definitely in you❤
This is sooo good. I my season of asking Him what’s next I 1:15:41 heard Him say “The brook dried up” And my response was😳” the brook dried up? What do you mean show me in your word. I would never say something like that. Led me to 1 Kings the story of Elijah being fed by the ravens which was temporary supply to now “Go” to Zaraphat to a widow. He’s showed me the areas where I am are dry and or being dried up. What do I do when where I am is where he sent me, the job that I’m at He opened the door, the church, with my family🤔I can’t get what I heard out if my heart.🙏
46:01 SO GOOD!! 🙌🙌🧡🧡
It has to be such an experience hearing yourself speak! Allowing god to shine through you! It’s actually unseen until now! 🎉🎉❤❤
A soft and curious heart!!! To receive, seek, and meditate on what has been shared with an open mind.
Every word you said pierced through, made sense, the confirmations, ❤
How can God be this timely 🥹 Indeed, He knows when to speak and release a word for us!
For saying yes to the Holyspirit, thank you, Deanna ❤
Thank you for this Deanna.I pray for God's healing in your ear.May it work as it should.The Revelation of Psalms 23 really hit me.even the order of it shows the order in which God works,the way you are Feed and watered in the spirit then your soul is restored and then he leads you out into the path he ordained for you...that even when you end up in enemy territory.He brings into remembrance who he is and who you are that you prosper
Deanna, I am thankful for what God has been doing in you and it has a minister to me in ways I would have never had figured.
I’ve been in a journey, of being freed from an emotional and psychologically abusive marriage of 33 years. My journey is longer than maybe what it should be, but it is what it is. I was first reading in your book Unraveled and at a dark moment, I applied just somethings I had learned and been encouraged in your book. I cried out to he Lord asking that he would be with me. Upon waking from a restless, sleep, and agonizing over my future father God through his Holy Spirit visited me and spoke so very clearly to my heart what he had for me. He instructed my heart in a very, beautiful way through his Scripture, that he brought to mind to let me know he was with me and had provisions for me and that I could choose those things if I wanted them. That day He calmed my soul…and has spoken numerous times over the past 2 months. I’m praying soon He will fully deliver me and walk me into His freedom. Thank you for serving our Lord and King.
May God's peace dwell in you so richly while you wait on Him ❤️
What a gift this video is. Truly, it has given such language & permission for the experience I’ve been having. I needed to hear this because it’s so true when God is stripping what we know of him…. There is nothing like. Nothing feels safe! His light is shining brightly through you. An anchor of truth.
I'm grateful for this platform that you have where I'm learning more about God and examining these topics and seeing where it fits in this current chapter of my life. I'm currently in a waiting season mainly for career transition. Im in between jobs and currently door dashing. While door dashing I'm a content creator myself working on fitness/lifestyle content. IVe completely surrendered the whole job process and I'm jus taking this time to sit with any messages that God gives me through anywhere from the bible app to youtube visuals like yours and others. Just soaking in all of this information and finding out what I need to know in this chapter of life that coming next for me.
You are on the right track of seeking Him. Faith comes by hearing/reading the Word of God and without faith it's impossible to please Him. It is well with you sis ❤️
Sis! I was literally having this conversation with a friend a couple of weeks ago. God was right on time and this blessed my soul. God bless you sis and thank you for answering God's call
I thank God for you Deanna. ❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep up the good work going sis! Abba is definitely using you!! Blessings to you and your beautiful fam!!
You are a wonderful teacher❤
I will not build where there's potential compromise 😲! That was a WORD! I'm definitely in an isolation period and I'm being told to be still, listen, and learn. I have been stripped DOWN..sometimes I don't even know what to pray for. The days seem to bleed into one another...at the same time I know that I am exactly where I need to be. Please pray for me that I have understanding while in this place.❤🙏🏾
In His peace, you'll come to know Him
Thank you for your obedience I needed this video 🤍
I felt as though the Holy Spirit reveal a lot to me in this video especially about being hidden also the stripping process I tend to define myself based off working out I also perfectionist tendency of striving I have to perform I tend to prefer works over sitting down with God. Also, i will say God communicate in varies way to get the message across. I notice in my relationship I usually ask him question he will answer in his own way through different ways. I love that you brought up the seasons where everything feel basically like nothing or blaaa also how you are hated life or living while still following God. I been through season I don’t want to attach to God it uncomfortable it the unknown I will get anxiety and the push him away. Also, grieving the things that made me feel safe.
This is my second time watching this message and I only realised halfway through that I’ve listened to it already😂 and both of these times I’ve watched it, it felt like such a timely message. It’s a refresher of what God has already said.
And today, before watching it, I felt like no one would understand what I’m going through and feeling.. it turns out Deanna has been though what I’m going going through and understands❤ and she couldn’t have put it into better words than she has.
When I clicked on it, I thought I was watching “The Battle of Physical Evidence” episode😅
This really helped me! Thank you very much! May God bless you❤
Legit almost everything you said is what I have been feeling lately
I’m praying for you sister for your ear and total healing and restoration for a full recovery in Jesus mighty healing name Amen 🙏🏽
God truly speaks through you and I’m so thankful for the wisdom !! Glory to God
13:02 My GOD that’s how I felt in the beginning and now after years and taken through a tough patch in my life I am experiencing an unknown that feels scary. 16:33 exactly what do I do NOW? A question I ponder. 19:34 omg I felt like that too. Feeling BLAH about life. Yesss everything feels dumb. 22:17 yessss feeling like you don’t matter
I got used to defining myself as the things i've done or been through and now I'm struggling to surrender myself completely. It's happening but it is a rough time. I'm not used to feeling so alone at times or feeling so lost but I know I'll see the fruit if I allow myself to surrender more and more everyday.
I love this video Deanna, I always find answers here. ❤️🔥❤️
Thank you Deanna for your obedience . This has helped me immensely ❤
God bless you, been following for a while on instagram and youtube and as much as I'm not a fan of long videos I'm always here with my bible and journal ready to feast on whatever God has led you to share and it's wonderful. With Love from Nigeria 😘
I know I'm late on this....but thank you for this! I am struggling with my identity and my purpose in life. I feel worthless and that God is angry with me because of the choices I've made. But I believe in His Grace and mercy.
Thank you for sharing this sis, so profound, so timely. Praying for healing for your ear and that you are made whole.
Thank you for this, resonated with me so much. I thought I was the only one who tried the “Gideon trick” 😅. But this definitely helped me today. May God bless you ❤
Sending prayers for your ear sister ❤🙏
I thank God I found this channel !
Couldn’t have said it better!
Praying for your ear beautiful! Quick question, could you talk more about prayer and how to declare healing over your body? I have been trying to pray over my husband out loud every night and I know a prayer does not have to be said in a specific way and that God hears me, however, I am always interested in learning more on how to create the right heart posture along with using the power of prayer in a way that is pleasing to God.. Hope that makes sense!
Testimony: I was a heavy weed, tobaco, and alcohol addict. God delivered me from it all. I don't need to be high to experience true life, but I got Holy Spirit and truth. God bless you.💯
yk what the fill a cup of water part really had me but I certainly understand there were times I asked the lord to reveal something to me in order to believe and It was actually a lack of my belief/faith so filling ineeded.
Praying for you and healing. I have been experiencing almost the same thing in my ears. Off and on for about 3-4 months. It’s super irritating but I know it’s happening just to happen. For no reason. Feels like it’s clogged. Like everything is on monotone. Then it clears. But then it’s back the next day. it’s very strange and I’m coming against what is happening to you in the name of Jesus. I plead the blood over your ears and ask for supernatural healing to happen. I’m Jesus name.
Right on time.
Praise Jesus.❤
38:51 exactly what is life anymore when He doesn’t look like what you perceive Him to be. Though He is still good
If I’m being honest, I cannot speak from a place of willfully giving certain aspects to of my life or my identity to God. What has been stripped from me are not all things that I’ve willfully given up in the spirit of faith that there is more or that God has more for me. Even still, I can relate to being in a position where I feel like I am being stripped down to nothing. Having certain thoughts, beliefs and ideas removed from me to the point where I cannot even seem to remember what it is that I have learned about who God is let alone questioning it if I ever did really know him at all to begin with. It’s a terrible feeling. I don’t know if my spiritual lack disqualifies me entirely but just in case there’s anyone else struggling with allowing space for the message of this video for fear of unworthiness because you haven’t been actively seeking God or because certain things don’t line up verbatim to where you feel you are in your life or faith but you still feel a draw despite being terrified. If there’s anyone else here who may resonate with the message of this video but is afraid because they have been in period of opposition with God. I’m here too. And I think it’s okay. I think there’s still truth to take no matter where you are in your relationship with God. Conviction isn’t a closed door. Maybe it’s opening one that’s been shut for so long that it’s both painful and fearful to open it.
How do we release stuff?
For your ear have you tried a few drops of sweet oil twice a day?
stop, the body of christ really is united bc this is the struggle I'm strugging with and it's hard. thankyou
Amen
Amen sis. I ask God to heal your ears in Jesus name. We are praying for you as well
I want to take the time and share my testimony. It’s pretty similar to what some people said in the comments. But but my hole life I felt overlooked. But that’s just life you know when you’re a understanding person people don’t want to understand you. And that may be the reason why I been going through life like I had ship on my shoulder’s even in school I had a teacher tell me that I wouldn’t make in life. And I always felt like I couldn’t be my self around nobody. And for that I never really fit in groups. So in the majority, I just say to myself. And that always made me ? MySelf but I was a loving and caring person and I still am. but I still kept finding me questioning myself so me going through all of that. made me want to become successful growing up. but as I tried to do it on my own I wasn’t making any progress. I was finding myself going through circles, and I was getting frustrated and depressed. and then I started to lose friends I Was even distant from my family it felt like they just wasn’t seeing me at all but all. But that was god isolating me and preparing me and to have me focus on him to rely on him and trust him knowing that he’s in control. and that I don’t have to worry and that I’m not alone. But as I start to rely on him things was starting move in order. And there be times in prayer I ask what’s my purpose even though he told me to spend time with him through his word and to stay in prayer but i want my purpose to become a messenger to spread his word to those that need it and that’s lost. But I hope that did touch someone who might be going through there’s selfs or can relate.
I’m at the place where I’m ready to give up so bad. I’m simply done it’s so hard guys
Don’t give up!! God has so much in store for you. Just hold on and keep believing, keep trusting Him and seeking Him. There is peace and love in Him! I love you!
Why does it take so long for God to heal me when I asked him numerous of times to heal me from poor hygiene walking around smelling bad, no money in my bank, lost all my abilities, and living somewhere where I have been deeply wounded by a so called friend/neighbor!
❤
Deanna, I thank God that I came across your insta page- randomley but I believe god was in control, thanks for sharing this video. I struggle with binge eating and have done so the last few days, i was trying to think what things is God trying to remove, what junk is He trying to rid that im holding onto, and i feel like He is saying I've carried that identity of being a binge eater for so long, to give that to Him because thats not me, even things that arent necessarily bad for me but to not put my identity into like running, even down to things i choose to share on social media, its like if i think about it deeper, sometimes (maybe most times) I share certain things because i want people to see me as someone who likes that kinda thing, someone who finds such and such funny, I want to be perceived as liek affiliating with those things (if that makes sense) I'm not too sure tbh but just some things that came to mind. I hope you are doing better anywho! May God continue to bless you (I also hope your ear is okay now- im a bit late listening to this so may be sorted already!) I pray you have a full healing and recovery from your cqr accident and anything else that needs His touch. Thank you Father, in Jesus name amen
I have a prayer request. I'm going through a really tough time right now. My head is a messy space. I'm battling what feels like so much right now.. I'm trying to stay strong for my sons sake. Please pray that I can move forward from the things that are weighing me down. I'm having trouble letting go of past hurts, traumas, and people. I'm trying so hard. But its like this stuff just keeps popping into my head. Recently an ex whom I've had a really hard time getting over tried to follow me on social media and while at first I thought "the audacity" but he appeared in a dream. And now I wanna know what his intentions are. It sounds silly I know. We didnt end on good terms at all and apart of me always wanted to apologize and move on in a healthy way and on better terms but I dont know how to go about doing this. I feel so guilty because I am married now. While my husband and I are not perfect and we have our issues as any couple does, I love him and all I want for him is to be closer to God and walk in the identity that God gave him. I want the same thing for myself. I'm just having a very difficult time right now. I appreciate the prayers and I'm blessed to have come across your videos!
I do have a question why don’t you end your prayers in the name of Jesus ?
She says “in your name I pray “ Amen.
