My contentment comes from Jesus only. I don’t have a car, house or physical husband. These things are supposedly the epitome of life? My job is some what horrible too, but I got me my Jesus. He allows me not to feel so lonely. I am His & He is mine & that makes up for any lack that I may have. I also choose to be content & thankful & not covet what others have…🇨🇦
Needed this so bad! Every since giving my life to God I have been constantly stuck on the “whats my purpose, how do i fufill it?” I have a cerrtian career and passsion since childhood but i find myself second guessing because im like “Is this really my purpose or what God wants me to do?" I’m not saying that’s the main thing I focus on when it comes to God it’s just from seeing certain videos and stuff society made it seem like that was one of the major things. What has helped me over come this though is just definitely not over thinking it and taking things day by day and like she said in her video actually spending more time with God. He will reveal things piece by piece and it will all eventually just flow !✨ Thanks for all the positive words and encouragement!✨I definitely study my word and have my own very close relationship with God, this video was just CONFIRMATION on what I already asked him about .💖 P.S. Just because someone is struggling with something doesn’t mean they are necessarily doing something wrong or don’t know God.
Sis, study his word and he will make it plain. Don't look for it, look for him and it will be there over and over again. His word is rich and plentiful. Enjoy the process.
"I do not have to fear and chase purpose because my purpose is communion with him" This hits so hard. I've desperately been longing to fulfill purpose and I've been searching for what it is for my case. I've had this heavy burden that my walk ain't complete if I haven't fulfilled or I'm not fulfilling purpose, maybe I've got to just have a relationship with God and find peace in that ..
There's two things that I've learned about "purpose" and following what God wants us to do. 1. What is important to us, is important to God. If we have careers, skills, goals, etc that we want to try, He wants us to do it. A lot of times we won't "accidentally" walk into something that we develop a passion for. Often times you have to try things and see what sticks. 2. If you stay connected with God and understand how He communicates with you specifically, you'll never be lead so far down the wrong path that you can't turn back. If you start to pursue something (even while having the best intentions while doing so) that God knows won't make you happy or won't help you to become your best self, He won't let you get very far before trying to let you know it's time to turn back and try something else. 3. You need to make sure to find a balance between wanting to do what God wants you to do and doing what you want to do. I don't think that God ever intended for us to be directed by Him every single second of our lives so it's okay to take opportunities to something you want to do (with the exception of sinning). So learn something you want to learn or go somewhere you want to go or take time to recharge your batteries. You can still be a great example of Jesus Christ while doing those things. I hope you find something fulfilling in life! And I hope that you try lots of stuff!
I had communion with God all throughout the day, I did ministry 4-5 days a week, I studied all throughout the day and I was still sad and lonely. I had to deal with my childhood issues, learn how to find the right friends and be happy being lonely until the right people came along. Still looking for the right godly people. We're all different. Keep working at it until you find what God has for you!
I was simply waiting to hear you say it sis... "the only fulfillment is in Communion with Me", connected to the Vine, Satisfied, throughly nourished by the Bread of Life, a life quenched, with the refreshing of who He is, the Living Water, yet always having a deeper thirst for more of Him, because He is so so beautifully, overwhelmingly good... amazing... just Jesus for me indeed... He is Everything. 💛🙏✝️
This was my conversation with Holy Spirit throughout the late night & early morning ~ His response: Just worship, focus on me, how are you doing, how is your heart, I put something there already & that something is ME, A NEW SONG, AN ABUNDANCE OF SWEET SWEET SWEET VICTORIES!🙌❣️🙌❣️ FULFILLED!😌🤗
I'm Muslim and this struck the right chord. I 've been wondering lately why things that I used to find important are seeming less and less so... I see it's a gift but a painful one... Until as you say, you realise or are lucky to be reminded of the fact, by beautiful humans such as yourself, that you will never find your peace without consistency in your relationship with your Creator. Thank you kindly for your candour, your wisdom, and vulnerability in sharing about your journey. Sending love and praying for your peace from South Africa.
thank you @@JesusSavesTheLostBrokenConfuse . ive begun with first understanding the difference between Islam and Christianity regarding Jesus. I am still very in love with Islam after some exploration. I will give Gospel of John a read too and see where i stand after that 🙏 peace and blessings to you
@@ephraimdavies7392 it was actually your comment that made me wonder, us Muslims and Christians we are really speaking about the same God, the main difference is regarding Jesus. So thanks to you I dug a bit deeper to figure out which the paths most appealed to my spiritual senses and logic ☺
I needed this. My husband has neurological disorders Parkinson’s Stiff Person Syndrome… being his caregiver/wife(although that doesn’t seem to matter to him) I feel stuck being a caregiver & never being fulfilled despite thinking I’m doing exactly what God sees as “good”. I’ll keep praying for wisdom
I’m adding you to my prayer list sister! And your husband. My grandfather has dementia and it’s not easy, and it hurts sometimes. Just know God is with you in every moment.
I have been feeling these exact same feelings. I was so fixed on pursuing my purpose, going out and speaking and pushing myself to go for my dream to speak on stages and preaching the gospel in the city streets. After a time of doing it repeatedly I realized some times I felt nothing, sometimes I was in the flesh and sometimes in the spirit. I slowly realized it didn’t matter whether or not I was on a stage or reaching for something if I didn’t feel fulfilled it didn’t really matter. I think god is trying to open my eyes that it is just him that we are searching for outside of what we are doing. Yes Jesus gave us all unique gifts & talents but hey we can pursue them but if Jesus isn’t in it, it just feels like nothing
This is because you neglected your personal time with God. Without this we'll be empty. This is like working for God without God. We are to work for God with God. Go back to a daily devoted time reading and studying your bible and also practicing what you're leading in your daily life. I hope this helps. God bless you
The only thing thats fulfilling for me is hearing God voice and feeling his presence, usually i have to let God keep breaking me down for me to experience this but i know theres a way to have all this without the breakdown part
He breaks you down to build and fill you back up. You just have to be willing once you accept him, the enemy will do any and everything possible to detour that journey. And make things harder for you keep pressing on. You got this that light at the end will be forever peaceful
God doesn't have you break you down if you stay right were he kept you the last time Daily and consistently be in God's words (bible) using it as the manual for your daily life. There no longer will be a breakdown or detour in your life's journey. I pray you overcome the detours and stay steady and steadfast God bless you
Very profound! Never get carried away with the work of God and doing His work, that you forget the God of the work. Communion and relationship is the goal, always.
I am going through similar. "Seek the kingdom first and all things will be added to you." I am now praying and waiting for the FINANCES and prosperity to come in now. Please pray for me.
Yes, pls listen to that scripture, the reward the blessing the riches is his presence, trust me it is and once you truly know that, when those monetary blessing come, it won’t even excite you they way they would now because you are filled with him. As long as you have food a roof over your head, you are more bless then some others. Practice gratefulness and go to the deep waters with him. The heart the heart is what he sees
The goal is not to be prosperous, but to repent and believe the Gospel. The Lord knows what we need, but what we need is not a comfortable life. In fact, Jesus makes it known we will suffer, be persecuted, hated for his name sake. But through relationship with God, we can trust that our soul will be with him. Even if we are thrown into cells & tortured unto death, trust in God & rejoice.
I’ve never been involved in ministry but what you just said has always been my great fear: What if I do all these godly things and “churchy” things and STILL feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled and then feeling guilty about feeling that way , and then concluding that it must be because I want to go back to worldly and fleshly things and that it must mean that I’m not really saved , after all ? Thank you so much for this video , it’s such an important reminder that true and total satisfaction of the Lord comes only from and through Him and so that we must seek to spend time with him first and foremost. ❤❤
This is so truee! At the end of the day it’s relationship that matters . It’s so important not to get caught up with the idea of pleasing man and then realise that all our works are for selfish reasons or to please people. I wish the church talked about this more and I wish they didn’t force people into ministry without making sure that they were still pursuing personal relationship with God.
He taught me the same thing early on and I am so glad He did. I still remember Holy Spirit said "Ministry and Ministering to God is not the same thing" and it changed me forever. I don't chase no positions no more, no calling is greater than communing with my Jesus for me anymore. It's always Him before anything else. ❤
*Only* JESUS satisfies; we can't replace Him with religion or anything; He's in a whole league of His own and He's worthy, He alone is worthy of it ❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌
This is very profound, and they all helped articulate what I have been feeling God tell me. It does explain why I feel God rebuking me a lot with the words. “You believe in me, doubt, question, and search for me in everything and ask to do my will, but yet why do you not believe in yourself and what I have given you to put your faith into action and find fulfillment though obedience to me rather than fear and disbelief.”
@@vanillaoverchocolate5440This is what God told me on my journey with Him. It seems he also wants me to speak you as well since you may be experiencing it too. Basically God was telling me that I have the knowledge of Him, the Word, and his nature, and he knows I am seeking Him and believes his will can be done in my life and heart. However, he rebuked my doubt and lack of trust in Him and doubting of myself to be great and do something with myself at the time and with I have been given spiritually. He knows I am looking for purpose and meaning in life and yearning to obey him knowing it will lead to fulfillment rather than disappointment, but God rebukes my fears, doubts, and lack of faith in Him to work through me and inside me and myself being able to do something great according to Gods plan for my life. Hopefully this makes better sense, but God challenged the deep fears and doubt I had in my heart about Him being able to make a way for me and help me through my sufferings so that He can increase my faith even more and purify me.
God is so intentional & faithful. I truly needed this and will be listening again. I've been seeking my purpose & what I need to be doing in the world but in actuality I need communion with God. To worship him, to sit at his feet. Whew Thank You Lord.
Reminds me of Mary and Martha, and how Mary was worried about the wrong thing: she wanted her sister to come help her so she snitched on her sister to Jesus but he set her straight.
Thats y I feel unfulfilled, I was trying to do the same things, I left wordly things behind and started seeking for doing things for him, but still couldn't feel it. Now I know. Thank you Sis. God bless you. ❤
I don’t understand what message is she getting across? That it’s ok not to be fulfill if you are in communion with God because that’s all that matters in life? So, does her fulfillment in this/her life that she is living not worth it? Im a little confuse. She sounds doubtful, confused & sad. How is that freedom when you can’t go after the things you want in life? She is limiting herself in life. I don’t think God wants that
@@Neesha242she’s talking about a change in perspective. It’s like a man who works works works to provide for family but then forgets the woman he married. She may be saying spend time with me, talk with me, walk with me like you used to. You chased me but now that I’m here with you, you have forgotten about me. I am still here. Once you realize your whys it makes life so much more fulfilled. God is her first love and out of the abundance of that love and relationship she will reach others in business and in her personal life. She’s not serving God out of obligation. It is not easy doing ministry or dealing with people. We love God because He first loved us. How do we truly know how to love even the most repugnant of human beings unless we study and spend time with the one that loved us and sacrificed for us? What is the sacrifice and why is it important. Always keeping God in our memory our thoughts and lives will keep us through good and bad times.
@@Neesha242 What she's saying is that fulfilment only comes through communion with God. That's all. For example, you have the gift of healing. And you've made healing people your focus area(What you want to do) or let say your obsession. You heal as many people as allowed by the spirit, but once you're not allow to heal people or there's no more people to heal, will you be satisfied or fulfilled ? The answer to that is the key to understand what she meant by satisfaction only coming through communion with God. That should be a foundation.
@@JesusSaves383 Why don't people use critical thinking? I don't understand how you guys think a bible and religion is the only way in life. Why can't people think on their own. What you said doesn't make any sense. Fulfillment doesn't only come through communion with God. If that's the case, why do you people have such a hard time finding fulfillment and why are those who aren't in communion with God find fulfillment in life?! I'm done with commenting on religion base videos because it is making me frustrated!
@@Neesha242 I see. I guess you're not a believer, are you? The said "fulfilment" those people've found the way you described is a deception because it's ephemeral. If those things are one way or another removed from their lives, will they still be satisfied? This life in earth is just a temporary one, one full of vanities that will pass when the end time comes. That's why looking for fulfilment through things or activities outside of God is vain, for someday those things will be no more. God is Eternal. And whoever has made walking or communing with him his joy and treasure, is blessed and has chosen the good part which will not be taken from him.
OH MY! OH MY! OH MY! This is directly from the throne room of The Father. Thank you so much my sister. Such a massive blessing. May Our Lord continue to teach you and give you His wisdom. Blessings, blessings, blessings.
You said so much here. I just know I’m gonna be back to listen to this in times where I begin to feel that “abyss” feeling again. I literally said today that sometimes I just feel like I’m floating and idk what to do. And it hurts to feel that way when you’re with God and you know He’s with you bc then you feel like you’re letting Him down and not trusting Him. I’m not tryna be wavering or have Jesus look at me like, “oh ye of little faith” 😭 Thank you God for leading me here and sooo many thanks to you for allowing Him to use you and sharing this message with us 🩷
So beautifully put girl!! The truest gift we have in this life is truly KNOWING him. Everything else is just extra noise But that’s why dwelling within him always regenerates us beyond our own comprehension I’m in a season where I am questioning it all My relationship with him, my purpose , even his word and his being But there’s an undeniable feeling that I can never explain when I throw my hands up and come to our father and tell him I don’t know anything Only you do , so please take this burden off me and show me who you are And although I’m in the midst of it all I know this is just building a stronger relationship that will be ever lasting through WHATEVER is put in front of me That Includes relationships, jobs, experiences, places Just run to the father. 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
It didn’t matter what she said… her voice is so calming! Actually gave stoic Buddhist stillness vibes! Glad she found her destiny in Christ without chasing a destination!
Yes sister. The only thing we should be chasing is our relationship with our heavenly father. Today was a 'special' day for me. So bitter at the end of the day. Stress of workplace, traffic, strangers, rude people and stuff. I was in a very bad mood. End of the shift i had time to think my actions i felt ashamed of my behaviour today and ask for forgiveness from Heavenly Father. When i got home i felt thankful and grateful to Him for the food on the table and loving family and roof over my head. Thank you Lord
Today I unfollowed ungodly creators (not yet all) and was having a difficult time letting go! This video helped me! Thank you 🤗🤗 The world cannot fulfill me so I can let it go and RUclips itself will not fulfill me. For me it is better to follow someone that points me to Christ and helps me seek fulfillment only in Him 🙏 even when it is hard to let go, it is not about that, it is about GOD 🙏 Again thank you! 🦋
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. MAY YOU FIND JESUS AND KNOW HIM. AMEN.
I fear that one day, my dreams will come true and I still won't be happy. Now I know that this is because I need to find my happiness and purpose in God. What a blessing this video is and you are!
When you leave the worldly things, that is where the work just begins. When you break all of your emotional and physical addictions. That’s where the pain and grief finally come up. That’s when you finally begin to connect to our father 😊
Wow, Thank you for sharing this because I always felt this way. I feel like this world just wants to bind me in everything including church’s. I always feel like nothing can complete me but God. Every church I have gone to I always feel like it’s superficial. I am just going to focus on my relationship with God.
Come to the Catholic Church. The single Catholic Church “church building” is called a parish. The people who attend that parish are called parishioners. Though 😮if they aren’t parishioners they’re probably still Catholic. If you go during office times at your local parish they’ll give you some info on the formal class they offer. It’s free and open to anyone!! It’s an actual class for serious learners will to put in the time. Do t worry they don’t give out homework or assigments😂 Process is formal but the teaching style is Devine😂 And don’t worry you could opt out at anytime. They take their time and won’t try to sell you a car. It’s a 9 month class so they go through all the topics. They love the hard questions and give you a lot of resources if they can’t satisfy you with the best answer. We only have 2,000 years worth research. I’m sure there’s an answer to everyone of your questions in there somewhere.
Super honest! So true! Thanks. Yes I am learning this. I struggle with this. I ask how do I... I am realizing and I know you are too. That choosing this walk with God is more than reading the Bible and prayer. The more isn't works it's sitting and listening. Praising In the good and the bad. I know there is more that's where I'm at in my journey. I needed this message. Thank you sister. Much love. May you always have God's peace through Jesus.
Facts facts facts! For the longest while I used to feel guilty about not feeling fulfilled now I’ve been born again and not living worldly anymore and feeling like I’m not truly freely. I questioned how could it be that as a Christian I have true freedom but yet I feel in bondage. I would never express this because I felt guilty that I was just not doing the right thing or being a good enough Christian. Seeking God and actual felllowship with Jesus is key…not denomination not solely going to church but actual relationship. I’m waking for real !
You said a whole mouth full... I too have been searching for my purpose in Him thinking it was many other things. I am now as we speak in the pursuit of Him with every fiber of my being.... I will find Him if it takes the rest of my life I will find Him. I often think what it would look like, act like, sound like, what would a woman after Gods own heart look like.... You know like David he was a man after Gods own heart. Pursuing God, David was pursuing God in every corner in every crevice...
I went through a similar period of time where I was completely burnt out on ministry, disillusioned by church politics, and honestly wondering why this whole church lifestyle thing felt so pointless, like what is the point of all this? Do we even know what we're doing? Is this what being a Christian is all about? And I began to really question things, what I had been taught in so many different Christian circles all my life...until one day my now fiance shared the gospel with me, and led me to his friend who further delivered the message of the gospel to me, that I realized WOW I've had it all wrong this whole time. It's not about what we do for God- and the spotlight of ministry can easily get us to a place where we look at ourselves and can look for security in the recognition we gain, or look for security in the fact that we are "doing things" for God. None of this saves you, my friend, only Jesus can save you. The simplicity of the gospel has gotten so lost in our churches. The only thing that has power is the gospel ("For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes"). True freedom comes when we recognize that we don't have the ability to make ourselves right with God, but that we have already been made right with God through Jesus' sacrifice and work on the cross. HIS perfectly lived and sacrificial life that gained us salvation. All you need to do is believe, and you will receive His salvation! This truth will truly set you free! "'Then they inquired, 'What must we do to perform the works of God?' Jesus replied, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent'." - John 6:28-29
This is a message I think I was definitely supposed to hear. I’ve found myself constantly wondering and worrying about my purpose in life and how I can fulfill it. Thinking “Is this really where God wants me? What if I do it wrong? What am I supposed to do?” But this message reminded me that ONLY HE CAN SATISFY. While we can do good works, they cannot redeem us. Only HE can. While we can share His word and work towards things for His glory, only He can bring satisfaction. Thank you for sharing this with us! 🙏🏼💕✝️
😢 no joke but I was really going through this exact reflection recently.. even ministry has become a cover, almost as if that doing well in ministry = close with God. I prided myself over that and placed my security there. I feared living out of God's will unhealthily. But only to come to realise I forgot about God's love, God's patience, His kindness and mercy and even how faithful He is and true to His words that He cannot go against what He said. He is consistent. And we are made to have a relationship with Him
As I am going through searching for a new career right now thank you for sharing this truth from Abba. So many people are bound by societal systems and you break it down perfectly. And we are searching for that peace in Him and going against our nature to do so. Thank you so much for setting people free with just this video alone. Can’t wait for the book. Communion with Him is freedom itself. Thank you.
Wow Deanna, I wish I could send a voice note. Just on Sunday, after sharing with someone about my relationship with the Lord and him leaving excited, I felt oddly burnt out and have been feeling so. I was wondering why. Thank you. I ask to grow in this Wisdom as well, for it to be one with my understanding in Jesus' Name. God bless you Deanna.
Thank you so much. Seriously I'm currently facing the same bondage and your video gave me a reminder to go back into communion with Him. Reminding me that it's Him alone. Thank you God Bless you!
I’m literally bored to tears and so overwhelmed and irritated. I don’t wanna be bothered with worldly nor church people, events or places. I just want to sleep and be left alone😒
I LOVE God. I stumbled upon this after a rough day because of this exact reason. There are no coincidences with God. I love Him. Thank you for this, sister ❤
Great video! Reminds me of Mary and Martha. One (Martha) was constantly serving, the other (Mary) was sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening to Him. Jesus chastised Martha but blessed Mary.
Thank you so much for this! I truly have been feeling exactly how you are feeling when it comes to the Title of this video. I have been feeling unfulfilled within me. I have been feeling like I needed to truly behave a certain way or do certain things in order to please people in my Church and I felt like why am I still feeling sad once I leave Church why do I feel like I must agree with my bishop every time he speaks or does something. Why do I feel uncomfortable If I am not the first one doing certain things and why do I feel like I must turn off my thinking when I am around church people? Thank you for this video because the Lord truly wanted me to get a complete understanding of what it truly means to be a follower of Christ! I don't want to be confused anymore I don't want to feel like Im wrong because i have to take care of my responsibilities and If i do I'm putting those things above God. Like what am I supposed to do then? Quit my job and put all my time and energy into the Church? Am I supposed to give up my entire life to please the Church leaders and members just so I can receive respect from them? I don't want to feel like I'm not doing enough. I quit doing worldly things and started doing more GODLY things and honestly I still feel down at times. I read my Bible every single day and pray throughout my day but I still feel like I am not doing enough. I didn't mean to pour out my thoughts but this is what it's about in this life as we grow in Christ Jesus! Thank you to anymore who read all of this because this is the only time that I have expressed these thoughts. May GOD Almighty bless you, protect you, and guide you. Much love and peace be with you!
you can keep on looking but nothing will fulfill you, except me!! wow this really spoke to me and thankyou for sharing. Like you i feel like i've been on both extremes, first graduating from law school wanting to pursue a legal career then to leaving it all behind to volunteer for a christian organization. I thought the drastic change was going to fulfil me because ministry meant doing God's work. In the mean time I am looking for a career path in the future and am scared of picking the wrong things. But this word is so encouraging and now i know no matter which path I take, as long as I have a relationship with the Lord, he will fulfill and direct me.
We tell ourselves we are grateful, and in the split moment we genuinely are. But gratitude is not a fleeting admission. It is meant to be a lifestyle. If we are not truly thankful for everything we are given in this life, every single moment, both GOOD & BAD- they are all blessings, and until you fully recognize that you will never reach the height of satisfaction. Additionally, how can God bless you with more if you are not already thankful for what you have? It’s all about Love & Thanks. Simple as that. If you are feeling unfulfilled, practice your gratitude. The more you practice, the better it feels. But it must be genuine. ❤🙏😘
Ugh!!! In March I came out of a second back to back relationships with a narcissistic person. One parent and one “friend”. So I came to another faith challenge. This is challenging me all over again!!! But it’s SO good!
Life with God and listening to his spirit and pursue with the heart to please God will fulfill. Any other opinion of others or advice without Gods approval is burnout. I can relate to both. Thank you for your message sis. You're on point❤❤
Ive watched many ministry leaders on youtube, I've listened to podcast after podcast, I've given freely to people I've seen the power of the holy spirit work in the transformation of sinful habits and unhealthiness in my own temple for god. All throughout this as I'm told in the spiritual basics, prayer, worship and understanding and applying gods word. Ive searched throughout my entire life fulfilment even now as I continue to profess my belief and the gospel try my best to fast or deny the things of the world for god in all the relationships ive built and had torn apart in all my jobs in all my lazy seasons of life in everything i did up until even now i have not found fulfillment. This message in its entirety is deeper and in my opinion god sent to me tailored for me to understand no matter what i do i will never be fulfilled i can have momentary joy and happiness but i will always lack and feel something is missing if i truly do not have the relationship with christ that fulfills and keeps me wanting more not from lack but from fulfillment this was beautiful.
Wow you know every time I listen to u I am deeply inspired by God in you, I can truly say you are not speaking these things by yourself but by the power of the Holy Ghost, you are revealing what has already been revealed but the power, imagine I'm all the way from south Africa and yea I am truly blessed by the work the laod is doing by you, I feel that u are indeed edifying the body of Christ ❤God bless u my sister
Wowwww I went through this very thing!! It's very true that the ONLY way I began to feel fulfillment is in Him. Has literally nothing to do with anything else.
Yes sis you got it .. its the connection with him being in his presence. Its not about how many days you attend chirch or pray or fast . Being in his presence u dont even got to pray just sitting there heyyy he wants you all of you
❗️ Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” God gives Free Will to do whatever you want to do for work. And just be an example of him as you do it. Everyone’s calling is not in Ministry or work at the specific church.
This right here...man this hit different. In the new man I am in God through Christ, I been feeling lost and unfulfilled. I struggle to read the Word, but God always sends me to read His Word through something someone says, a notification, or whatever; then i just get overcome with reading and communing with God. Then the church or believers tug at me to do this or that which brings temporary joy but is unsustained. God, i hear you clearly. Its you and me, and i will let you guide me to the rest. Not my will, but your's Lord.
How can I love this a million times?! This is so profound. Felt like God was speaking right to me through the words He spoke to Tianna. God bless you for sharing. Would need to listen to this over and again. Can't wait for the audio book.
This is definitely the truth I went thru this and it wasn’t until I started to commune with The Lord all day everyday that I felt fulfilled it’s such a great feeling to commune with Him love on Him getting to know Him talking to Him like man I wish I would have known this sooner but I love it and I want nothing more than to commune with our Father ❤
I don’t even know how your channel came across my phone… but I was so moved by the title I just had to watch! I subscribed right away and I usually don’t even do that… it takes me a while before I invest my time with someone. But with just hearing the words flow from you was such a peace and relief for me… I just began to cry because I was always questioning myself why am I not ever satisfied, and I am Christian and a believer of Jesus Christ and being brought up in church, you always hear to find your purpose or that you will discover your purpose pursuing God, but they way you just broke the word down just took so much weight off me!!! How you just plainly simplified the word and it was so powerful!… wow all I can say is thank you Jesus!!! He’s such an on time God always knowing what we need and communicating to us in the moment we need it most! God bless you sis.
Yeah. Dealing with this myself. Nothing is fulfilling, even after knowing the truth, that this world is vain and that its all worthless. It sometimes feels like a miserable existence. I also used to be on fire about doing ministry but people really piss me off, and I myself keep falling short. Although it is my fault for not being strong enough, but I think not being fulfilled is what causes me to fall short. Not sure how it looks to be fulfilled in God, but ill try it out.
Yes. The fulfillment lies within the relationship with God. Ministry is difficult and draining and it doesn’t always feel good. He is the true source of fulfillment, not people or things. 🤩
The Christ is in you, God is in you and it took me 38 years to understand that the only communion is with the God in me! May you all find peace and love within yourself ❤
They've preached fire and brimstone, They've preached blessings, They've preached pursuing purpose (which are all good in it's place). It's time for more preaching of a personal relationship with God. Jesus is still coming soon
This is so heartwarming and I cried because it’s draining to be so focus on just doing the right thing and hating oneself if I’m not being a good Christian and to hear this thoughts just left me with ease.
I sooo needed this right now. Just came across this and my first video of yours I am seeing. Totally the place I am in currently (even times I go back to “worldly” and feel ashamed afterwards). Thank you for this!
Why do we keep desiring to commit sin even after giving our lives to Christ? 👇🏾👇🏾 Everyone experiences this in their walk with God, your issue is not unique. First, every human has a spirit, soul and body - 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Our spirit is what gets saved when we get born again (forgiven of sins and accepted into God's family by faith) - known as justification by faith -- Romans 10:8-12 But our soul needs to be saved also, the soul is the mind, desires, emotions, etc This is why we sometimes remember dirty or evil things even when praying or praising God Read Romans 12:1-2
Here is what we need to have in order to get our soul saved👇🏾👇🏾 James 1:21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, *receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.* Col 3:10 NHEB and have put on the new self, *who is being renewed in knowledge* after the image of his Creator, Eph 4:20-24 But you did not learn Christ that way; 21 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit; 23 and that you be *renewed in the spirit of your mind,* 24 and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth. Finally please do read Psalm 119:9-11 for better understanding, I hope you see aspects that relate to the soul- the mind, knowledge, etc
*Part 3 on soul salvation* Our soul has been exposed to all sorts of things whether good or bad, therefore it needs to be purged of the bad. How will that happen? As we read the word of God consistently and obey it. That is how we will be blameless when Christ comes - Eph 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So if you have any addictions or bad character and you want a transformation in your life, then you have to hang around the WORD more than ever. Not religious activities, the word!! Jas 1:22-25 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does. John 17:17 *Sanctify them by Your word, for Your word is truth.* You can only be sanctified by knowing Jesus as the truth, meaning you have to drop your personal false opinions in different areas of life.
I can't even describe how deeply this spoke to me. The past 2 years I have become very depressed BECAUSE of my faith. The harder I chased my calling the more empty I felt. Thank you sooo much for sharing your story 🩷🩷🩷
Saint Mother Teresa gave her joy away for other to have because they were the people rejected my society. She wanted them to have it. Sadly in her prayers she would ask God why she felt so distant from him. She was doing good but felt abandoned by God yet she worked to always raise him up. She’s a Saint now and more and more of her work and testimony still impacts the world today. Now she that she’s with God you can she it the ultimate ‘WFH’ not work from home but Work From Heavan😂😂😂😂
Wow! You hit the nail on the head sis! 😫 I just found the answer to my second quarter life crisis. I have found so much rest for my soul today. Thank you dear sister in Christ. God bless you for sharing this wisdom 🙏🏽
The only fulfillment is communion with Me!🤯🙌🏽
Everyday!
Yes only he fills
Amen!
Who tf is you
Jesus Christ amen
My contentment comes from Jesus only. I don’t have a car, house or physical husband. These things are supposedly the epitome of life? My job is some what horrible too, but I got me my Jesus. He allows me not to feel so lonely. I am His & He is mine & that makes up for any lack that I may have. I also choose to be content & thankful & not covet what others have…🇨🇦
Amen 💯
Amen!!! ❤️
Amen!🙏🏾🙌🏾✝️
Amen 🙏🏼
I remember a song that said
"All that I need is in Jesus, He satisfies, joy He provides. Life would be worthless without Him."
Amen
This is such a beautiful reminder that fulfillment is found in our first love - our relationship and communion with Jesus.
AMEN.
amen
Yeah not on what we can do for him etc it's just loving Him.
Needed this so bad! Every since giving my life to God I have been constantly stuck on the “whats my purpose, how do i fufill it?” I have a cerrtian career and passsion since childhood but i find myself second guessing because im like “Is this really my purpose or what God wants me to do?"
I’m not saying that’s the main thing I focus on when it comes to God it’s just from seeing certain videos and stuff society made it seem like that was one of the major things.
What has helped me over come this though is just definitely not over thinking it and taking things day by day and like she said in her video actually spending more time with God. He will reveal things piece by piece and it will all eventually just flow !✨
Thanks for all the positive words and encouragement!✨I definitely study my word and have my own very close relationship with God, this video was just CONFIRMATION on what I already asked him about .💖
P.S. Just because someone is struggling with something doesn’t mean they are necessarily doing something wrong or don’t know God.
Sis, study his word and he will make it plain. Don't look for it, look for him and it will be there over and over again. His word is rich and plentiful. Enjoy the process.
💙🙏💙Matthew 21:19, In your patience possess ye your souls🙏💙🙏
Jesus Said Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.
Our purpose will be revealed to us as we sit at His feet. Everything does flow from our communion with Jesus💞
Luke 10:38-42
Omg I feel the same way 🥺
"I do not have to fear and chase purpose because my purpose is communion with him" This hits so hard. I've desperately been longing to fulfill purpose and I've been searching for what it is for my case. I've had this heavy burden that my walk ain't complete if I haven't fulfilled or I'm not fulfilling purpose, maybe I've got to just have a relationship with God and find peace in that ..
There is peace in that. Know that He died for you and He loves you and that you can give your burdens to Him.
There's two things that I've learned about "purpose" and following what God wants us to do. 1. What is important to us, is important to God. If we have careers, skills, goals, etc that we want to try, He wants us to do it. A lot of times we won't "accidentally" walk into something that we develop a passion for. Often times you have to try things and see what sticks. 2. If you stay connected with God and understand how He communicates with you specifically, you'll never be lead so far down the wrong path that you can't turn back. If you start to pursue something (even while having the best intentions while doing so) that God knows won't make you happy or won't help you to become your best self, He won't let you get very far before trying to let you know it's time to turn back and try something else. 3. You need to make sure to find a balance between wanting to do what God wants you to do and doing what you want to do. I don't think that God ever intended for us to be directed by Him every single second of our lives so it's okay to take opportunities to something you want to do (with the exception of sinning). So learn something you want to learn or go somewhere you want to go or take time to recharge your batteries. You can still be a great example of Jesus Christ while doing those things.
I hope you find something fulfilling in life! And I hope that you try lots of stuff!

I had communion with God all throughout the day, I did ministry 4-5 days a week, I studied all throughout the day and I was still sad and lonely. I had to deal with my childhood issues, learn how to find the right friends and be happy being lonely until the right people came along. Still looking for the right godly people. We're all different. Keep working at it until you find what God has for you!
I was simply waiting to hear you say it sis... "the only fulfillment is in Communion with Me", connected to the Vine, Satisfied, throughly nourished by the Bread of Life, a life quenched, with the refreshing of who He is, the Living Water, yet always having a deeper thirst for more of Him, because He is so so beautifully, overwhelmingly good... amazing... just Jesus for me indeed... He is Everything. 💛🙏✝️
Amen
waiting for someone to say... so true.
🙌💕💕
Yes And AMEN ❣
This was my conversation with Holy Spirit throughout the late night & early morning ~
His response: Just worship, focus on me, how are you doing, how is your heart, I put something there already & that something is ME, A NEW SONG, AN ABUNDANCE OF SWEET SWEET SWEET VICTORIES!🙌❣️🙌❣️
FULFILLED!😌🤗
This is where I am presently at in my life. WOW. Thank you Lord & thank you for sharing ...now to run this back 3 to 4 more times 😂🙏🏾🙏🏾
Exactly.
Me too...
Yes!
Same here.
I'm Muslim and this struck the right chord. I 've been wondering lately why things that I used to find important are seeming less and less so... I see it's a gift but a painful one... Until as you say, you realise or are lucky to be reminded of the fact, by beautiful humans such as yourself, that you will never find your peace without consistency in your relationship with your Creator. Thank you kindly for your candour, your wisdom, and vulnerability in sharing about your journey. Sending love and praying for your peace from South Africa.
Ex Buddhist here. Try reading Gospel of John and see what you think about Jesus and his teachings.
Jesus wants you with Him😊
He rose.
thank you @@JesusSavesTheLostBrokenConfuse . ive begun with first understanding the difference between Islam and Christianity regarding Jesus. I am still very in love with Islam after some exploration. I will give Gospel of John a read too and see where i stand after that 🙏 peace and blessings to you
@@ephraimdavies7392 it was actually your comment that made me wonder, us Muslims and Christians we are really speaking about the same God, the main difference is regarding Jesus. So thanks to you I dug a bit deeper to figure out which the paths most appealed to my spiritual senses and logic ☺
I needed this. My husband has neurological disorders Parkinson’s Stiff Person Syndrome… being his caregiver/wife(although that doesn’t seem to matter to him) I feel stuck being a caregiver & never being fulfilled despite thinking I’m doing exactly what God sees as “good”.
I’ll keep praying for wisdom
I’m adding you to my prayer list sister! And your husband. My grandfather has dementia and it’s not easy, and it hurts sometimes. Just know God is with you in every moment.
@@nicholas4joy thank you I was hurting last night :( it’s not easy I appreciate you 🫂
I have been feeling these exact same feelings. I was so fixed on pursuing my purpose, going out and speaking and pushing myself to go for my dream to speak on stages and preaching the gospel in the city streets. After a time of doing it repeatedly I realized some times I felt nothing, sometimes I was in the flesh and sometimes in the spirit. I slowly realized it didn’t matter whether or not I was on a stage or reaching for something if I didn’t feel fulfilled it didn’t really matter. I think god is trying to open my eyes that it is just him that we are searching for outside of what we are doing. Yes Jesus gave us all unique gifts & talents but hey we can pursue them but if Jesus isn’t in it, it just feels like nothing
I hear you on the spirit and flesh part
This is because you neglected your personal time with God. Without this we'll be empty.
This is like working for God without God. We are to work for God with God.
Go back to a daily devoted time reading and studying your bible and also practicing what you're leading in your daily life.
I hope this helps.
God bless you
The only thing thats fulfilling for me is hearing God voice and feeling his presence, usually i have to let God keep breaking me down for me to experience this but i know theres a way to have all this without the breakdown part
He breaks you down to build and fill you back up. You just have to be willing once you accept him, the enemy will do any and everything possible to detour that journey. And make things harder for you keep pressing on. You got this that light at the end will be forever peaceful
I can resonate with this so bad 😔💯💯💯
Realize your worthiness to commune in bliss and abundance.
God doesn't have you break you down if you stay right were he kept you the last time
Daily and consistently be in God's words (bible) using it as the manual for your daily life.
There no longer will be a breakdown or detour in your life's journey.
I pray you overcome the detours and stay steady and steadfast
God bless you
Amen. Just know that it's possible to walk in the blessing of God apart from ha ibg to constantly be reminded that you're not able
My life would’ve been so much better If I had a relationship with Jesus earlier in Life 🙏🏻😭
Imagine having to depend on people to feel fulfilled you are the problem
@@bachiak1 Imagine commenting on other people’s comments cause your miserable 😂
@@bachiak1they depend on Jesus, not on people
@@Ariadne4 jesus is a people
@@FelipeValdez-og2tg saying the one who rely on external beings to feel complete
i saw this, scrolled past it… then it came back up again and i said “let me just watch this” and it blessed me in a profound way. thank you❤
I did the exact same.. and this is the answer I been seeking😢❤
Very profound!
Never get carried away with the work of God and doing His work, that you forget the God of the work.
Communion and relationship is the goal, always.
I am going through similar. "Seek the kingdom first and all things will be added to you." I am now praying and waiting for the FINANCES and prosperity to come in now. Please pray for me.
Once you sto chasing it .. the Lord will bless according to his will . What if he never blesses you? We must still be satisfied with him . Love you.
Yes, pls listen to that scripture, the reward the blessing the riches is his presence, trust me it is and once you truly know that, when those monetary blessing come, it won’t even excite you they way they would now because you are filled with him. As long as you have food a roof over your head, you are more bless then some others. Practice gratefulness and go to the deep waters with him. The heart the heart is what he sees
The goal is not to be prosperous, but to repent and believe the Gospel. The Lord knows what we need, but what we need is not a comfortable life. In fact, Jesus makes it known we will suffer, be persecuted, hated for his name sake. But through relationship with God, we can trust that our soul will be with him. Even if we are thrown into cells & tortured unto death, trust in God & rejoice.
I’ve never been involved in ministry but what you just said has always been my great fear: What if I do all these godly things and “churchy” things and STILL feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled and then feeling guilty about feeling that way , and then concluding that it must be because I want to go back to worldly and fleshly things and that it must mean that I’m not really saved , after all ?
Thank you so much for this video , it’s such an important reminder that true and total satisfaction of the Lord comes only from and through Him and so that we must seek to spend time with him first and foremost. ❤❤
This is so truee! At the end of the day it’s relationship that matters . It’s so important not to get caught up with the idea of pleasing man and then realise that all our works are for selfish reasons or to please people. I wish the church talked about this more and I wish they didn’t force people into ministry without making sure that they were still pursuing personal relationship with God.
He taught me the same thing early on and I am so glad He did.
I still remember Holy Spirit said "Ministry and Ministering to God is not the same thing" and it changed me forever. I don't chase no positions no more, no calling is greater than communing with my Jesus for me anymore. It's always Him before anything else. ❤
Wowww I don’t know how this came on my timeline but thank you God ❤
Same.
I with you. Glory
*Only* JESUS satisfies; we can't replace Him with religion or anything; He's in a whole league of His own and He's worthy, He alone is worthy of it ❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌
This is very profound, and they all helped articulate what I have been feeling God tell me. It does explain why I feel God rebuking me a lot with the words. “You believe in me, doubt, question, and search for me in everything and ask to do my will, but yet why do you not believe in yourself and what I have given you to put your faith into action and find fulfillment though obedience to me rather than fear and disbelief.”
Wow. Would it be possible for u to break down this quote? this really struck me, but I'm not sure i understand it fully. Thank you so much.
@@vanillaoverchocolate5440This is what God told me on my journey with Him. It seems he also wants me to speak you as well since you may be experiencing it too. Basically God was telling me that I have the knowledge of Him, the Word, and his nature, and he knows I am seeking Him and believes his will can be done in my life and heart. However, he rebuked my doubt and lack of trust in Him and doubting of myself to be great and do something with myself at the time and with I have been given spiritually. He knows I am looking for purpose and meaning in life and yearning to obey him knowing it will lead to fulfillment rather than disappointment, but God rebukes my fears, doubts, and lack of faith in Him to work through me and inside me and myself being able to do something great according to Gods plan for my life. Hopefully this makes better sense, but God challenged the deep fears and doubt I had in my heart about Him being able to make a way for me and help me through my sufferings so that He can increase my faith even more and purify me.
God is so intentional & faithful. I truly needed this and will be listening again. I've been seeking my purpose & what I need to be doing in the world but in actuality I need communion with God. To worship him, to sit at his feet. Whew Thank You Lord.
Reminds me of Mary and Martha, and how Mary was worried about the wrong thing: she wanted her sister to come help her so she snitched on her sister to Jesus but he set her straight.
Thats y I feel unfulfilled, I was trying to do the same things, I left wordly things behind and started seeking for doing things for him, but still couldn't feel it. Now I know. Thank you Sis. God bless you. ❤
I don’t understand what message is she getting across? That it’s ok not to be fulfill if you are in communion with God because that’s all that matters in life? So, does her fulfillment in this/her life that she is living not worth it? Im a little confuse. She sounds doubtful, confused & sad. How is that freedom when you can’t go after the things you want in life? She is limiting herself in life. I don’t think God wants that
@@Neesha242she’s talking about a change in perspective. It’s like a man who works works works to provide for family but then forgets the woman he married. She may be saying spend time with me, talk with me, walk with me like you used to. You chased me but now that I’m here with you, you have forgotten about me. I am still here.
Once you realize your whys it makes life so much more fulfilled. God is her first love and out of the abundance of that love and relationship she will reach others in business and in her personal life. She’s not serving God out of obligation. It is not easy doing ministry or dealing with people. We love God because He first loved us. How do we truly know how to love even the most repugnant of human beings unless we study and spend time with the one that loved us and sacrificed for us? What is the sacrifice and why is it important. Always keeping God in our memory our thoughts and lives will keep us through good and bad times.
@@Neesha242
What she's saying is that fulfilment only comes through communion with God. That's all.
For example, you have the gift of healing. And you've made healing people your focus area(What you want to do) or let say your obsession.
You heal as many people as allowed by the spirit, but once you're not allow to heal people or there's no more people to heal, will you be satisfied or fulfilled ?
The answer to that is the key to understand what she meant by satisfaction only coming through communion with God. That should be a foundation.
@@JesusSaves383 Why don't people use critical thinking? I don't understand how you guys think a bible and religion is the only way in life. Why can't people think on their own. What you said doesn't make any sense. Fulfillment doesn't only come through communion with God. If that's the case, why do you people have such a hard time finding fulfillment and why are those who aren't in communion with God find fulfillment in life?! I'm done with commenting on religion base videos because it is making me frustrated!
@@Neesha242 I see. I guess you're not a believer, are you?
The said "fulfilment" those people've found the way you described is a deception because it's ephemeral. If those things are one way or another removed from their lives, will they still be satisfied?
This life in earth is just a temporary one, one full of vanities that will pass when the end time comes.
That's why looking for fulfilment through things or activities outside of God is vain, for someday those things will be no more.
God is Eternal. And whoever has made walking or communing with him his joy and treasure, is blessed and has chosen the good part which will not be taken from him.
OH MY! OH MY! OH MY! This is directly from the throne room of The Father. Thank you so much my sister. Such a massive blessing. May Our Lord continue to teach you and give you His wisdom. Blessings, blessings, blessings.
You said so much here. I just know I’m gonna be back to listen to this in times where I begin to feel that “abyss” feeling again. I literally said today that sometimes I just feel like I’m floating and idk what to do. And it hurts to feel that way when you’re with God and you know He’s with you bc then you feel like you’re letting Him down and not trusting Him. I’m not tryna be wavering or have Jesus look at me like, “oh ye of little faith” 😭 Thank you God for leading me here and sooo many thanks to you for allowing Him to use you and sharing this message with us 🩷
So beautifully put girl!!
The truest gift we have in this life is truly KNOWING him.
Everything else is just extra noise
But that’s why dwelling within him always regenerates us beyond our own comprehension
I’m in a season where I am questioning it all
My relationship with him, my purpose , even his word and his being
But there’s an undeniable feeling that I can never explain when I throw my hands up and come to our father and tell him I don’t know anything
Only you do , so please take this burden off me and show me who you are
And although I’m in the midst of it all
I know this is just building a stronger relationship that will be ever lasting through WHATEVER is put in front of me
That Includes relationships, jobs, experiences, places
Just run to the father.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
It didn’t matter what she said… her voice is so calming! Actually gave stoic Buddhist stillness vibes! Glad she found her destiny in Christ without chasing a destination!
It’s the real deal Holy Spirit 🤟
I needed this. He put this in my path on purpose. I’ve been chasing idols for years, even godly ones. But only communion with Him satisfies. Amen. ❤
This is so good sister in Christ, I truly thank you for your obedience to our savior, Christ and our Heavenly Father, Abba 💛
Come on bro you a 9 ether smh
Yes sister. The only thing we should be chasing is our relationship with our heavenly father. Today was a 'special' day for me. So bitter at the end of the day. Stress of workplace, traffic, strangers, rude people and stuff. I was in a very bad mood. End of the shift i had time to think my actions i felt ashamed of my behaviour today and ask for forgiveness from Heavenly Father. When i got home i felt thankful and grateful to Him for the food on the table and loving family and roof over my head. Thank you Lord
Today I unfollowed ungodly creators (not yet all) and was having a difficult time letting go! This video helped me! Thank you 🤗🤗 The world cannot fulfill me so I can let it go and RUclips itself will not fulfill me. For me it is better to follow someone that points me to Christ and helps me seek fulfillment only in Him 🙏 even when it is hard to let go, it is not about that, it is about GOD 🙏 Again thank you! 🦋
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
MAY YOU FIND JESUS AND KNOW HIM. AMEN.
I fear that one day, my dreams will come true and I still won't be happy. Now I know that this is because I need to find my happiness and purpose in God. What a blessing this video is and you are!
When you leave the worldly things, that is where the work just begins.
When you break all of your emotional and physical addictions. That’s where the pain and grief finally come up.
That’s when you finally begin to connect to our father 😊
Wow, Thank you for sharing this because I always felt this way. I feel like this world just wants to bind me in everything including church’s. I always feel like nothing can complete me but God. Every church I have gone to I always feel like it’s superficial. I am just going to focus on my relationship with God.
Come to the Catholic Church. The single Catholic Church “church building” is called a parish. The people who attend that parish are called parishioners. Though 😮if they aren’t parishioners they’re probably still Catholic. If you go during office times at your local parish they’ll give you some info on the formal class they offer. It’s free and open to anyone!! It’s an actual class for serious learners will to put in the time. Do t worry they don’t give out homework or assigments😂 Process is formal but the teaching style is Devine😂 And don’t worry you could opt out at anytime. They take their time and won’t try to sell you a car. It’s a 9 month class so they go through all the topics. They love the hard questions and give you a lot of resources if they can’t satisfy you with the best answer. We only have 2,000 years worth research. I’m sure there’s an answer to everyone of your questions in there somewhere.
Super honest! So true! Thanks. Yes I am learning this. I struggle with this. I ask how do I... I am realizing and I know you are too. That choosing this walk with God is more than reading the Bible and prayer. The more isn't works it's sitting and listening. Praising In the good and the bad. I know there is more that's where I'm at in my journey. I needed this message. Thank you sister. Much love. May you always have God's peace through Jesus.
Facts facts facts! For the longest while I used to feel guilty about not feeling fulfilled now I’ve been born again and not living worldly anymore and feeling like I’m not truly freely. I questioned how could it be that as a Christian I have true freedom but yet I feel in bondage. I would never express this because I felt guilty that I was just not doing the right thing or being a good enough Christian. Seeking God and actual felllowship with Jesus is key…not denomination not solely going to church but actual relationship. I’m waking for real !
You said a whole mouth full... I too have been searching for my purpose in Him thinking it was many other things. I am now as we speak in the pursuit of Him with every fiber of my being.... I will find Him if it takes the rest of my life I will find Him. I often think what it would look like, act like, sound like, what would a woman after Gods own heart look like.... You know like David he was a man after Gods own heart. Pursuing God, David was pursuing God in every corner in every crevice...
May God grow us in the wisdom of understanding that anything outside Him, will not bring us satisfaction and freedom 🫶🏼
I went through a similar period of time where I was completely burnt out on ministry, disillusioned by church politics, and honestly wondering why this whole church lifestyle thing felt so pointless, like what is the point of all this? Do we even know what we're doing? Is this what being a Christian is all about? And I began to really question things, what I had been taught in so many different Christian circles all my life...until one day my now fiance shared the gospel with me, and led me to his friend who further delivered the message of the gospel to me, that I realized WOW I've had it all wrong this whole time.
It's not about what we do for God- and the spotlight of ministry can easily get us to a place where we look at ourselves and can look for security in the recognition we gain, or look for security in the fact that we are "doing things" for God. None of this saves you, my friend, only Jesus can save you.
The simplicity of the gospel has gotten so lost in our churches. The only thing that has power is the gospel ("For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes"). True freedom comes when we recognize that we don't have the ability to make ourselves right with God, but that we have already been made right with God through Jesus' sacrifice and work on the cross. HIS perfectly lived and sacrificial life that gained us salvation.
All you need to do is believe, and you will receive His salvation! This truth will truly set you free!
"'Then they inquired, 'What must we do to perform the works of God?'
Jesus replied, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent'."
- John 6:28-29
Hallelujah! Because His unfailing love is better than life. Ps 63:3
This is a message I think I was definitely supposed to hear. I’ve found myself constantly wondering and worrying about my purpose in life and how I can fulfill it. Thinking “Is this really where God wants me? What if I do it wrong? What am I supposed to do?” But this message reminded me that ONLY HE CAN SATISFY. While we can do good works, they cannot redeem us. Only HE can. While we can share His word and work towards things for His glory, only He can bring satisfaction. Thank you for sharing this with us! 🙏🏼💕✝️
God has blessed you with a calming voice. The audiobook is going to sound wonderful.
😢 no joke but I was really going through this exact reflection recently.. even ministry has become a cover, almost as if that doing well in ministry = close with God. I prided myself over that and placed my security there. I feared living out of God's will unhealthily. But only to come to realise I forgot about God's love, God's patience, His kindness and mercy and even how faithful He is and true to His words that He cannot go against what He said. He is consistent. And we are made to have a relationship with Him
As I am going through searching for a new career right now thank you for sharing this truth from Abba. So many people are bound by societal systems and you break it down perfectly. And we are searching for that peace in Him and going against our nature to do so. Thank you so much for setting people free with just this video alone. Can’t wait for the book. Communion with Him is freedom itself. Thank you.
Amen 🔥🔥🕊️🔥🔥 nothing compares to time with Our Father Lord God Almighty...I can't get enough 🔥🕊️🔥
Wow Deanna, I wish I could send a voice note. Just on Sunday, after sharing with someone about my relationship with the Lord and him leaving excited, I felt oddly burnt out and have been feeling so. I was wondering why. Thank you. I ask to grow in this Wisdom as well, for it to be one with my understanding in Jesus' Name. God bless you Deanna.
God answers prayers ❤
@@zekejdavidson Amen, indeed He does❤
What a blessing that you have come to realize this. Unfortunately, many have not realized this and do not understand that Jesus alone is the prize.
When you can have genuine introspective conversations like this with God and yourself ,you get a closer and deeper relationship with God.
Amen.. communion with God fulfils. Ministry is just another chore! It’s keeping busy. We can even miss God while we are busy with Ministry
The one time where my phone was listening to my talk with God and it 100% delivered!!! #Confirmation like whaaaaaat... 🤯
Peace is found in Him!! AMEN
Thank you so much. Seriously I'm currently facing the same bondage and your video gave me a reminder to go back into communion with Him. Reminding me that it's Him alone. Thank you God Bless you!
I’m literally bored to tears and so overwhelmed and irritated. I don’t wanna be bothered with worldly nor church people, events or places. I just want to sleep and be left alone😒
I LOVE God. I stumbled upon this after a rough day because of this exact reason. There are no coincidences with God. I love Him. Thank you for this, sister ❤
Great video! Reminds me of Mary and Martha. One (Martha) was constantly serving, the other (Mary) was sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening to Him. Jesus chastised Martha but blessed Mary.
Nothing or noone can ever ressurect us into eternal life apart from communion with Jesus Christ ❤️
Thank you so much for this! I truly have been feeling exactly how you are feeling when it comes to the Title of this video. I have been feeling unfulfilled within me. I have been feeling like I needed to truly behave a certain way or do certain things in order to please people in my Church and I felt like why am I still feeling sad once I leave Church why do I feel like I must agree with my bishop every time he speaks or does something. Why do I feel uncomfortable If I am not the first one doing certain things and why do I feel like I must turn off my thinking when I am around church people? Thank you for this video because the Lord truly wanted me to get a complete understanding of what it truly means to be a follower of Christ! I don't want to be confused anymore I don't want to feel like Im wrong because i have to take care of my responsibilities and If i do I'm putting those things above God. Like what am I supposed to do then? Quit my job and put all my time and energy into the Church? Am I supposed to give up my entire life to please the Church leaders and members just so I can receive respect from them? I don't want to feel like I'm not doing enough. I quit doing worldly things and started doing more GODLY things and honestly I still feel down at times. I read my Bible every single day and pray throughout my day but I still feel like I am not doing enough. I didn't mean to pour out my thoughts but this is what it's about in this life as we grow in Christ Jesus! Thank you to anymore who read all of this because this is the only time that I have expressed these thoughts. May GOD Almighty bless you, protect you, and guide you. Much love and peace be with you!
you can keep on looking but nothing will fulfill you, except me!! wow this really spoke to me and thankyou for sharing. Like you i feel like i've been on both extremes, first graduating from law school wanting to pursue a legal career then to leaving it all behind to volunteer for a christian organization. I thought the drastic change was going to fulfil me because ministry meant doing God's work. In the mean time I am looking for a career path in the future and am scared of picking the wrong things. But this word is so encouraging and now i know no matter which path I take, as long as I have a relationship with the Lord, he will fulfill and direct me.
3:00 look at you embracing the truth much of the world is fighting 😌😌 damn proud
We tell ourselves we are grateful, and in the split moment we genuinely are. But gratitude is not a fleeting admission. It is meant to be a lifestyle. If we are not truly thankful for everything we are given in this life, every single moment, both GOOD & BAD- they are all blessings, and until you fully recognize that you will never reach the height of satisfaction. Additionally, how can God bless you with more if you are not already thankful for what you have? It’s all about Love & Thanks. Simple as that. If you are feeling unfulfilled, practice your gratitude. The more you practice, the better it feels. But it must be genuine. ❤🙏😘
Ugh!!! In March I came out of a second back to back relationships with a narcissistic person. One parent and one “friend”. So I came to another faith challenge. This is challenging me all over again!!! But it’s SO good!
Life with God and listening to his spirit and pursue with the heart to please God will fulfill. Any other opinion of others or advice without Gods approval is burnout. I can relate to both. Thank you for your message sis. You're on point❤❤
Ive watched many ministry leaders on youtube, I've listened to podcast after podcast, I've given freely to people I've seen the power of the holy spirit work in the transformation of sinful habits and unhealthiness in my own temple for god. All throughout this as I'm told in the spiritual basics, prayer, worship and understanding and applying gods word. Ive searched throughout my entire life fulfilment even now as I continue to profess my belief and the gospel try my best to fast or deny the things of the world for god in all the relationships ive built and had torn apart in all my jobs in all my lazy seasons of life in everything i did up until even now i have not found fulfillment. This message in its entirety is deeper and in my opinion god sent to me tailored for me to understand no matter what i do i will never be fulfilled i can have momentary joy and happiness but i will always lack and feel something is missing if i truly do not have the relationship with christ that fulfills and keeps me wanting more not from lack but from fulfillment this was beautiful.
Wow you know every time I listen to u I am deeply inspired by God in you, I can truly say you are not speaking these things by yourself but by the power of the Holy Ghost, you are revealing what has already been revealed but the power, imagine I'm all the way from south Africa and yea I am truly blessed by the work the laod is doing by you, I feel that u are indeed edifying the body of Christ ❤God bless u my sister
🇿🇦❤
Omgosh I'm Herr. I feel like I'm trying to fulfill my life by doing ministry but feeling drained in the church
Wowwww I went through this very thing!! It's very true that the ONLY way I began to feel fulfillment is in Him. Has literally nothing to do with anything else.
Yes sis you got it .. its the connection with him being in his presence. Its not about how many days you attend chirch or pray or fast . Being in his presence u dont even got to pray just sitting there heyyy he wants you all of you
❗️ Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” God gives Free Will to do whatever you want to do for work. And just be an example of him as you do it. Everyone’s calling is not in Ministry or work at the specific church.
This right here...man this hit different. In the new man I am in God through Christ, I been feeling lost and unfulfilled. I struggle to read the Word, but God always sends me to read His Word through something someone says, a notification, or whatever; then i just get overcome with reading and communing with God. Then the church or believers tug at me to do this or that which brings temporary joy but is unsustained. God, i hear you clearly. Its you and me, and i will let you guide me to the rest. Not my will, but your's Lord.
Whenever I'm in the middle of such episodes.... I declare.... I'm only fully satisfied in You!!!
Legit confirmation had this talk with him this early morning❤❤
How can I love this a million times?! This is so profound. Felt like God was speaking right to me through the words He spoke to Tianna. God bless you for sharing. Would need to listen to this over and again. Can't wait for the audio book.
Fulfillment is God and God alone.. not the work we do for God but experiencing God through our work.
This is definitely the truth I went thru this and it wasn’t until I started to commune with The Lord all day everyday that I felt fulfilled it’s such a great feeling to commune with Him love on Him getting to know Him talking to Him like man I wish I would have known this sooner but I love it and I want nothing more than to commune with our Father ❤
Imagine having to depend on people to feel fulfilled you are the problem
Wow! That truly answered a question! Thank you!
I don’t even know how your channel came across my phone… but I was so moved by the title I just had to watch! I subscribed right away and I usually don’t even do that… it takes me a while before I invest my time with someone. But with just hearing the words flow from you was such a peace and relief for me… I just began to cry because I was always questioning myself why am I not ever satisfied, and I am Christian and a believer of Jesus Christ and being brought up in church, you always hear to find your purpose or that you will discover your purpose pursuing God, but they way you just broke the word down just took so much weight off me!!! How you just plainly simplified the word and it was so powerful!… wow all I can say is thank you Jesus!!! He’s such an on time God always knowing what we need and communicating to us in the moment we need it most! God bless you sis.
Everyday been asking myself what is my purpose but through this video have realized that my relationship with My God matters in all things
Yeah. Dealing with this myself. Nothing is fulfilling, even after knowing the truth, that this world is vain and that its all worthless. It sometimes feels like a miserable existence. I also used to be on fire about doing ministry but people really piss me off, and I myself keep falling short. Although it is my fault for not being strong enough, but I think not being fulfilled is what causes me to fall short.
Not sure how it looks to be fulfilled in God, but ill try it out.
Having peace and knowing that you were created to simply please God, it doesn't have to be complicated, please God in the present by being obedient
Loving and serving PEOPLE is how you love and commune with God.
Amen! God’s been working on me about a lot of the same things!
Thank you God for this word I really needed it.❤God bless you girl and every single one who watched this video❤❤
Yes. The fulfillment lies within the relationship with God. Ministry is difficult and draining and it doesn’t always feel good. He is the true source of fulfillment, not people or things. 🤩
The Christ is in you, God is in you and it took me 38 years to understand that the only communion is with the God in me! May you all find peace and love within yourself ❤
I find fulfillment working in children's ministry and in service of others. That's where I see god the most.
I’m surprised at how so many believers doesn’t know this about Jesus being the fulfillment that comes from within!
Deep calls out to deep! Abba is the source.
This right here was so needed for me, and to cross paths of this video when logging on to watch a non related video. 🙌🏽
Amen I feel this because nothing satisfies me and I don't understand
Man…the peace this has brought me . Thank you for sharing this video . Such a relief on my soul.
They've preached fire and brimstone, They've preached blessings, They've preached pursuing purpose (which are all good in it's place). It's time for more preaching of a personal relationship with God.
Jesus is still coming soon
Thank you so much! I have stuck in this cycle for 2 years now! I’m fighting my way out but it’s harder than I ever expected!
It can be difficult to stop but I will suggest fight in the spirit more than the physical. You're guaranteed victory in the spirit realm
Same. Been fighting this for 5 years. Its tough not knowing.
This is so heartwarming and I cried because it’s draining to be so focus on just doing the right thing and hating oneself if I’m not being a good Christian and to hear this thoughts just left me with ease.
the reality we don’t speak about…this resonates.
I sooo needed this right now. Just came across this and my first video of yours I am seeing. Totally the place I am in currently (even times I go back to “worldly” and feel ashamed afterwards). Thank you for this!
Why do we keep desiring to commit sin even after giving our lives to Christ? 👇🏾👇🏾
Everyone experiences this in their walk with God, your issue is not unique.
First, every human has a spirit, soul and body - 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Our spirit is what gets saved when we get born again (forgiven of sins and accepted into God's family by faith) - known as justification by faith -- Romans 10:8-12
But our soul needs to be saved also, the soul is the mind, desires, emotions, etc
This is why we sometimes remember dirty or evil things even when praying or praising God
Read Romans 12:1-2
Here is what we need to have in order to get our soul saved👇🏾👇🏾
James 1:21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, *receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.*
Col 3:10 NHEB and have put on the new self, *who is being renewed in knowledge* after the image of his Creator,
Eph 4:20-24 But you did not learn Christ that way; 21 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit; 23 and that you be *renewed in the spirit of your mind,* 24 and put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Finally please do read Psalm 119:9-11 for better understanding, I hope you see aspects that relate to the soul- the mind, knowledge, etc
*Part 3 on soul salvation*
Our soul has been exposed to all sorts of things whether good or bad, therefore it needs to be purged of the bad.
How will that happen? As we read the word of God consistently and obey it.
That is how we will be blameless when Christ comes - Eph 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So if you have any addictions or bad character and you want a transformation in your life, then you have to hang around the WORD more than ever.
Not religious activities, the word!!
Jas 1:22-25 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
John 17:17 *Sanctify them by Your word, for Your word is truth.*
You can only be sanctified by knowing Jesus as the truth, meaning you have to drop your personal false opinions in different areas of life.
Girl 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 A WORD ❗️ When GOD Spoke To You He Spoke To US 👏👏👏👏 I Cannot Even ❗️
I can't even describe how deeply this spoke to me. The past 2 years I have become very depressed BECAUSE of my faith. The harder I chased my calling the more empty I felt. Thank you sooo much for sharing your story 🩷🩷🩷
Saint Mother Teresa gave her joy away for other to have because they were the people rejected my society. She wanted them to have it. Sadly in her prayers she would ask God why she felt so distant from him. She was doing good but felt abandoned by God yet she worked to always raise him up. She’s a Saint now and more and more of her work and testimony still impacts the world today. Now she that she’s with God you can she it the ultimate ‘WFH’ not work from home but Work From Heavan😂😂😂😂
“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.”
Wow! You hit the nail on the head sis! 😫 I just found the answer to my second quarter life crisis. I have found so much rest for my soul today. Thank you dear sister in Christ. God bless you for sharing this wisdom 🙏🏽
