  • Welcome to Faith Talks! ✨
    Let's talk about idols! Things and people, that we can give our worship to instead of God. When we worship the blessings we pray for, we might be delaying the promise. How can God give us something that will overtake us?

    I agree with you! As a Christian, I’ve been struggling with breaking out of the kpop, kdrama bondage. When I was at a point in my life, fighting depression I had gone to these platforms for a solace. And over the years, I’ve put these things above my relationship with God. I definitely give them more attention. Dealing with it, asking God to help me. I really want to come out of it.

      God sees your willing heart 🥰 The Holy Spirit is doing his work within you, otherwise you probably wouldn't even be able to identify these struggles in your life! I'm including you in my prayers this upcoming week. Doing a fast might really help provide clarity in hearing God's voice! The bible tells us that we need to train ourselves in godliness, 1 Timothy 4:8. These things usually don't come natural to us. Like going to the gym, we have to obtain from certain things and focus on training. It'll get easier overtime as our muscles grow 🤗. May our Heavenly Father strengthen you within this. Cry our to him whenever you need help, he hears you and is eager to help you along the way. You are set free in the mighty name of Jesus 🤍

      Yes sis! Me too! The Lord told me a while ago about kpop and even kdramas. The fans are so obsessed including myself with all the daydreaming. It’s really demonic, lustful even, and just overall this weird love obsession. People have came out with idols saying they’ve put love spells on their fans and idols talking about not being able to make it to heaven in their lyrics.

    My idols used to be my career (and pleasing my bosses), my physical appearance (working out excessively and even restricting food), my IG and posting pics of the travel lifestyle, and pleasing men. Glory be to God for freeing me from it all! ✨ Life has never been more peaceful and satisfying and it is all because of Jesus ♥

    So glad you spoke on Kpop! It’s borderline worship if not full on. Yes they’re talented and it’s good to appreciate that but a lot of fans really do worship the artists, I also hate that they refer to themselves as idols😔

      Does that mean stopping it completely? I just stumbled on one of your video and found my way here when I saw K-pop. I recently became a fan, and I can say it's become an idol. To an extent, I'm dedicated. Not crazy dedicated, but I do my bit for them. I enjoy their content, I'm on Twitter most times, I stream their music for charts, wish them success and sometimes pray for them. But I know it's too much, I'm not sure how I feel, can't even put it in words, really...
      I don't want them to be idols in my life, at the same time, I really enjoy their content and I'm wondering if there's balance to this thing. I want to get closer to God again, but everything is just a lot to deal with... I feel like I don't have the privacy for it, the desire for it, but I'm just trying.@@deborahbx_

    @animania2024 11 месяцев назад +12

    This really called me out. I discovered kpop/kdrama when I was really depressed and got stuck with it and got obsessed in the process. I’ve found God now but it’s still something that’s difficult for me to stop. Always knew the term “kpop idol” was weird so I always called them kpop stars or kpop celebrities to make myself feel better. I’ve also been so obsessed with self help, almost felt like I was going crazy with the tons of people on here and TikTok telling you how to be better (manifest this, be delusional, feminine energy, etc). How does one improve on themselves without idolizing themselves, I don’t really know how to do that

  • @chessiewashere2817
    @chessiewashere2817 11 месяцев назад +25

    This was such a moving word! Definitely needed to hear this today. Sometimes I fail at differentiating between idolization and “passion”. I use “passion” and “hard work” as an excuse to feed my idols, and cover up my selfish acts, which is why it’s so important to ask God for a change of heart. Our hearts can be extremely deceitful! But I’m thankful to know how much God loves us!! 🤍✨

    • @deborahbx_
      @deborahbx_  11 месяцев назад +4

      Amen sis!! You’re speaking so much truth, I think so many of us do this. Like you said: the heart is deceitful. We have to be honest with ourselves in these situations. God wants to help, but he can’t if we keep up a front. May we continue to be in awe by God’s love and patience for us. He’s so so good 🥰

    Back in 2021 when I was really into kpop, I would constantly bicker with fans online, defend these idols from their wrongdoings, and would become really negative and overall became toxic and obsessive to me. Now, in 2023 I have began to fade away from kpop and switch to worship music that is uplifting and I no longer become obsessed with these idols. I still listen to their music but now I have a better mindset in what I should or shouldn’t listen to. 💓

    Food , shopping, binge watching social media were big idols for me and I’ve been getting out of those by just fasting alone. I did a social media fast last week and it completely changed my compulsive scrolling when I’m bored or sad. I’m still working on not binge eating my emotions and I’m buying less stuff out of my emotional state. I know that God can cure me from all this things I just need to put him first and go to him with everything that bothers me. Thank you for this faith talk and many blessings on you ❤

    This is an urgent call to die to self, and I am learning herein that holding on idols is actually the manifestation of the spirit of unbelief based on self and myopic view as idols are about instant gratification and sacrifice the permanent for immediate.

    I listen to kpop but only the good songs with the good lyrics and I'm not like some Korean fans, bcs some of them are like you said and it's not right, we know that. I listen a lot of groups but I don't spend much time with them. And, I respect so much Mark, Haechan and Doyoung bcs they are Christians and always they are not ashamed to express their faith, I think we need to ask God first about everything and spend more time with God! I agree with you! Thanks for this video!❤

    You make such a good point about kpop. When I started listening to them, I was so obsessed and was following their every move on socials, even when I was an avid listener of One Direction. But once God opened my eyes to what is really going on, my spirit just got an ick whenever I see people being obsessed over them. I still struggle with listening to secular music but I'm glad I'm not an obsessed fan anymore.

  • @adelevandie
    @adelevandie 11 месяцев назад +11

    Thank you Holy Spirit for laying up these words in our hearts ❤️ 🙏😭! I can relate to this because I experienced this when I was idolizing my job and money. Right after high school, started working and seeing money in my hands made me backslide from God which I thought I was okay. Like, see my thoughts by then, really😟? I understood this in my pastor's teachings and I've been holding on to it since. My pastor also said that there was this member of her who wanted a travelling breakthrough from God and God being so good He gave it to her. She then travelled and forgot that it was God who made her like that or gave her what she wanted. So she was idolizing the travelling door whereby she thought that was all so she wouldn't need anything from God. Hmm, she got frustrated by the enemy in every aspect of her life and realized she needed God again and reached out to our pastor for prayers. Hmm, beloved, let's stop taking God for granted! It hurts! It's like you're in a relationship with someone whereby the person keeps on doing toxic things but yet still you love them and take them back again. See, God is so loving that if you obey his commandments, teachings, instructions (Job 22:21-22), etc you'll be able to feel at home with Him (John 15:9-10). If you've gotten or are in your breakthroughs, miracles, Good news, testimonies, etc season doesn't mean that is the end. Let's not be deceived, because God Loves us unconditionally. Remember, that we'll need bread again, again and forever from God. May God help us all, Amen. Thank you sis and have a peaceful week, Amen.

      Amen!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It's so beautifully said! In the book of Kings it also shows us the story of many successful men who followed the ways of the lord, but went off with the blessings God gave them. This ultimately resulted in their downfall every single time. Our father loves us so so much, he doesn't want our love for the things that he can give us, to overtake the love we have for him. We constantly have to remind ourselves of this and stay strong in prayer. The enemy will always use his same tricks to lure us back ( he's so unoriginal 😑) Stay blessed! love you sis xx

Somethings I run to when I am sad or in my head, is Chick fil A, seafood restaurants, RUclips and even my gospel music. Instead of talking with the Lord, I escape the problems by running TO the things that can DISTRACT me rather than running to the one who WILL give me peace and rest about the situation. I love you so much, my sister in Christ!

    This message is so important!! I began my walk with God very recently and that made me realize some things. I used to be really into self love and manifestation but then I learned how egotistical it all was. And as a kpop fan I've noticed how i used to idolize and put those artists above God. I still listen to their music and follow the news but I'm much more aware of the time and attention I give to them.
    Sometimes the things we find comfort in may seem innocent so is easy to get lost in them. And like you said we have to be able to identify our idols and ask God for help with that. Thanks for this video!! 🙏✨

    I've had bad anxiety for the bulk of this past week. Anxiety/fear I don't think I've felt before over what my future will look like, desiring a new career but fearing I can't transition until I have a certain amount of money in the bank in the event I fail, that I can sustain myself until I get another job in the field I left. I believe preparation is ok. But, I was idolizing money for security instead of God. The heaviness started breaking around Thursday with the help of prayer, reading, and listening to faith talks such as this. I'm praying for strength, security, and faith in God❤

I do try not to idolize the home that I have been praying about because of your own testimony with yours , so I just pray , fast but I do get weary because I ask the lord when ? it’s a very deafening silence at this time regarding my own home , like absolutely nothing is giving me a glimmer of it coming to past! But I continue to pray even though I’m becoming weary about it and just trusting in Gods timing and not “Idolizing “ the place at all! Thanks for always speaking on that it really helps🙏🏽 God bless you always!

    So… I haven’t finished the video yet, but I believe God is talking to me through you with this video. About 10 hours ago I journaled about how I need to get closer with Him & how I don’t know myself, probably because I’ve been straying from Him. I’m a big K-Pop fan. I also wrote about how it was making me uncomfortable that I can say a lot about xyz idol, but if the same question was asked about myself I couldn’t answer. I like the genre for various reasons, and I’m not ashamed or opposed to collecting the albums and all. At events I’ve been able to meet tons of people & those events help a lot of those who have never been able to make friends because they didn’t fit in at school or elsewhere (I’m passionate about seeing people make connections and be happy). However, I’ve been questioning my dedication to my favorites most of all. Ironically, one or them I admire for his faith in God, thinking “I wish I was like that” seeing how diligent he is and how he leans on God to get him through work. Meanwhile, I should be working on my own relationship with God instead of just admiring his. I’ve felt unworthy of a relationship with Him for reasons I won’t go into here… but all I can do is take it 1 step at a time.
    I want you to know that I get suggested a lot of content similar to yours suggested to me on youtube lately, but none of it made me feel comfortable or open enough to actually listen. I found you yesterday and for the first time I feel like I’m being spoken to in a way that I can understand and digest. You might not see this, but I want to thank you. Looking forward to more videos.

    Hi Deborah ❤
    I'm an 18 year old girl from Namibia, I grew up I the word of God and along the way I got into the world but this year I decided to give my life to God again. It was so hard because I was used to things I used to do before, not bad things though but addiction to my phones and all that, but I started getting spiritual attacks, all my old habits started coming back, that used to get me away from God. I remember one night I was watching your video on RUclips and I was thanking God on how he helped me come across your videos, and I was telling him how much I love your videos too....I really love your videos, they motivate me alot tbh, I watched all of them😭 I'm still struggling with my phone addiction and I keep on praying about it too, I really hope God will help me break this phone addiction ❤🥺.

Secondly, thank you so much for your beautifully honest, and encouraging comment. It is such a blessing to have you here and I'm beyond grateful that God is speaking into your life through me! I pray that he will continue to do that. Life in this world is hard, let's be honest, especially when you're 18! So many things are fighting for your attention. And the enemy is doing whatever he can to keep you away from the hands of your dad in heaven. Just know that Jesus is with you every second of every day. He loves you so much and I pray that you may experience his presence like never before in this season. God sees your willing heart to break your phone addiction. In our weakness he is strong. We need his help in these things! Just look to Jesus, try to read your bible a bit more or pray some more. Even if just a few minutes a day. One step at a time sis. Jesus is strong, he can carry you where you can't carry yourself. I'm praying for you! Sending much love and hugs xx Deborah

I have been listening to kpop and watching kdramas again and it’s like this obessession and demonic pull that I get and I start to daydream and fantasize about the kdrama actor male lead all day everyday. It’s so tormenting thinking and daydreaming about one person who doesn’t even know you exist and who’s not even your husband. It’s creepy and weird and I hate it but thank God for deliverance!

    you really have such a way with words. i'm not on tiktok much, so i haven't come across you there, but i watch youtube like it's television. you've come up in my recommended so much lately, as i'm also tapping back into God after a period of deterrence from Him. i've put off watching them because of fear, and the fear of being faced with my own truths. but finally, after my own bible study this morning, i decided to finally watch. first was your apartment testimony and its related videos, and now these faith talks. i don't think you've been put in my face for no reason, and God has certainly blessed you with this platform you've been given to speak and share your story. please keep doing what you're doing and i seriously pray for nothing but your continued success in sharing the beauty of God, as well as any other personal endeavors you're pursuing 💓

    Thank you for this video! As a k-pop / k-drama/ anime fan, I try my best to be mindful of my relationship with these things. I often find myself sucked in the fandom world, and I honestly thank the Holy Spirit for being a voice of reason inside my head to remind me that I'm straying away. right now, I'm doing a twitter fast and it's been so helpful for me to prioritize my time and thoughts to God.
    I've also dedicated 30-40 mins of my daily running to playing worship songs as my run playlist to help focus my mind on the Lord. I'm not gonna lie, it's not been easy since my mind keeps wandering, but I continuously pray that I will be able to focus better. One of the lyrics that's been speaking to me is from MTM Isaiah's Blessings, it says "If it's messing with my blessing then I gotta leave it", and I've been praying for this for a while now that I will be able to break away from the things that are pushing me away from God.

Im currently in a space of really having to let go of things and people I feel I can't live without. Ironically, I was on my Pinterest and came across that picture of the little girl and teddy bear earlier this week and then seeing it now again in this video was confirmation and I receive it. I needed this reassurance to know there is indeed a grass that's greener on the other side through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you! Be blessed

    Too many people I know are struggling with many forms of idol worship, it’s become easier to see after I started turning to Him more often.
    Your personal experiences with all of this definitely helped point out what these things can sometimes be. You’re so right in that many of us get so caught up on focusing on the rest, it hinders what God has to offer.
    Praying that more of us can recognize, and make the effort to correct our ways with these things in order to seek and find Him alone, before the rest! 🩵 God bless!!

    As a former kpop stan and a kdrama fan, i agree. There was a time i couldnt even delete a single picture of them from my phone, it would physically hurt me. The day i was delivered and baptized in the Holy Ghost the next day i went to my phone and deleted all of their pictures. Just like that. I only realized how toxic the attachment was for both the fans and the idols after the Holy Spirit opened my eyes, I remember I went to a BTS movie and all throughout the movie my heart was aching at realizing how much the men that i said i loved were just enslaved to the idolatry they were the object of. I started praying in tongues during the movie interceding for Jimin guys, that was wild xD. Anyways, if you are still in the bondage of Kpop and Kdrama, pray that the Holy Spirit opens your eyes and sets you free.
