@Ele_multiedits I was in your situation when I was your age. Pray and ask God for a Christian peer to come into your life. Pray to find a local church to go to. Fellowship with other Christians is so important - we are not meant to be alone, we are united as the body of Christ. May God grow your faith as you connect with a local community that loves Jesus
1. Commit your life to God. 2. Hate sin 3. Don't get into bed with temptation. 4. Be careful what you watch and listen to. 5. Stop hanging out with lukewarm people. 6. Get in community with people on fire for God 7. Get to know a real relationship with God 8. Read the Bible and let it renew your mind. 9. Abide in Christ through obedience and prayer. 10. Spend time with God every single day. Thank youu and God bless you sis🥰❤️
@@roncalvin2506 she didn’t say to abondon them, she just basically said to get closer with other people who are of god, and help the people who aren’t Christian to get closer to them
@@icedcoffee2542it pretty much means to remain in or stay with (depending on who you ask) somebody or something so stay with Christ thru obedience and prayer
i am currently 12 and want to get closer with God and this video really helped me. My advice for ppl who are young like is that it is never too early or too late to pick up your cross and follow Jesus🙏🙏❤
Coming from a 20yr old it’s really amazing to see a 12yr old with this amount of wisdom. Keep this attitude as you grow older and you’ll change the lives of so many
I live in an atheist household but my parents are ex-Christians. My brother is very supportive of me and got me a bible and a cross necklace . I am trying to get closer to God and listening to Ashley really helps me. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Keep praying for your parents. God is testing your faith. Study all things faith. Look into Pastor Henderson on The Courts Of Heaven. Take your time and go to God as a child. He loves you and never wants you to feel condemned. He will correct you because He loves you. Trust him and stay in His face. God bless you.❤😊
Hey everyone I just wanted to give you an update. I’ve prayed for my family to be saved more times than I can count and the Lord is truly amazing. My sister has found God, my brother has found God, and my mom is extremely supportive of all of us. I still pray for my parents to find their way back to the Lord, and I see it happening soon for my mom. Ashley has continued to help me in my faith journey, and I pray for my faith and my family’s faith to grow and that we become more connected with the Lord. Praise the Lord!
I’ve been struggling with how to balance technology and faith in our home, and ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ provided some amazing insights that we’ve already started using
For everyone out there: it’s never too late to turn your life around. Also.. you don’t have to hit rock bottom to turn your life around. You know what’s right, just do it now! Don’t wait to hit rock bottom.
And on the other side of the spectrum, don’t feel like you need a testimony of hitting rock-bottom or staying at all, following Jesus from your youth is also a beautiful testimony that will save you some heartache. Psalm 118.
❤🔥 I am 10 years old and I am watching this because I am craving God sooo much I I just feel like I don't have enough of him and this video really helped! I love your videos! You are really going to help me with my relationship with Jesus and I I'm going to watch the video again and take notes! Love you❤ Tysm! Edit: tysm for 11 likes🤗 it may seem really little but it means the world to me because I never had so many likes!
This is great u will start middle school and stuff soon there will be a lot of tempting stuff but just remember God loves u plz and I mean plz do not fall into the traps that Satan tries to throw at u cause I'm going to highschool soon and ok how middle school was for me people might seem cool and fun doing bad things but just remember what would u do if Jesus was there and that he is always watching u and he loves u God bless u and I hope u succeed in life
It's so nice to see someone who's young that wants to be with Christ, I'm so proud of you and also is Jesus, you're maybe going to struggle a bit but he's with you,and will never abandon or forget you, remember that! ❤️
Yes! That is so good! ❤ Hold onto God in tough times. I know that staying consistent in your relationship with Christ can be hard in the busy times, but hold onto him and PRAY all of the time because that kept my relationship strong.
wow this came at a perfect time. in the past week i've been trying to get out of my lukewarm period edit: to everyone in the replies, know that we're in this together and i'm so proud of us for wanting to take the big step
I’m 12 years old, as of September I realized that I was lukewarm, now I’m doing my best to read my Bible everyday, and praying more, I really appreciate people like you try to help people like me try to grow closer to God, God bless you ❤️❤️❤️
I advise you to follow the religion of Islam. My life changed when I became a Muslim. I feel a psychological comfort that I had never felt before. Try my advice and you will not regret it. Search for the Qur’an and listen for one minute and you will feel comfortable.
Im 16 years old and I've really struggled with consistently spending time with God, so this is such a encouragement and it's so motivating for me to be in the word and seeking him 💛✨❤️🔥
I’m 14 years old and I have been going back and forth between being lukewarm and a strong believer in Christ I have developed really bad habits that pulled me away from the lord. But watching this video really made me realize how important Jesus is and the Holy Spirit thank you so much Ashly for helping me realize that
❤️🔥 I'm trying to grow my relationship with Jesus. My parents are Christian but they personally don't like to go to church so I made the decision that I would be going by myself on Sundays because I really want to get to know Him and take action in my beliefs!! Im going to church for the first time this Sunday im so excited to finally get to go
I’m currently 40 and I came to Jesus and got batized in Dec 2021, I didnt even believe in God and had no other religion, so it’s never late! Living with Jesus has set me free from the sins, wrong mindset, worldly friendships… I thought I knew what life was but the Holy Spirit showed me the truth about everything! Just cant believe how I was able to live without God for that long!
Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, Remind this person, through all trial and fault that you are with them and that you Love them. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit.Amen 🙏✝️
im 14 year old, and i wanted to be closer to God, I need his presence everyday,and i want to have a strong relationship with him, i hope God help me to overcome problems, and to fight evil
I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression. I was exactly like you, partying and doing things I shouldn’t have been doing. In 2020 I had my life touch my God. And now I feel like I’m slipping back and feel bad that I slip back. May God help me strengthen my relationship with Him.
Remember that shame and gilt is not from the Lord it is from the devil. God convics us and helps us to be better and to pursue him. I know how you feel I struggled for years with similar things and Jesus set me free. Keep going and know that you are not alone God is always there with you even if you don't feel him. I'm praying for you sister ❤❤❤
The Lord is your strength, ask God to help you through temptation and help you resist and stay on track!! He is with you!!! Give yourself grace but not excuses to fall into sin. It is well!!!❤❤❤
Remember no one talks to you more than you talk to yourself. So be nice to yourself, speaking compassion to yourself and spend time in prayer. Just remember that when the prodigal son returned his father greeted him with open arms.
I used to struggle with depression and anxiety and God delivered me completely. I was tired of living in sin and I surrendered my life to Jesus as a living sacrifice. Repent and turn from your sin, you are forgiven. Shame, guilt and condemnation is not your portion. Praise, praise, praise to remove the spirit of heaviness. God loves you, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Today is my birthday 🥳 and I’m celebrating by learning to grow a connection with God. May the rest of my days be filled with God’s love and protection. Thank you for this video ❤️🔥
I'm 26 , I was a moslem before but finally I find my way to trust Jesus 💖 I got baptized on 16 March this year and feel so blessed ✨ I still learn many things about being a Christian and trying to get closer to God. I don't have any Christian family or friends so this channel is helping me so much ❤ Big thanks to you sist ❤ God bless ❤❤
i am the youngest participating person in the youth group and no one seems to be on fire for Jesus. I want to find people like that but even my so called christian friends are bathing in the flesh. And I feel so much empathy cause I know what my friends have been through and I don't want to stop being their friend and hurt them. Plus even when I bring the topic up sometimes it goes so wrong. Like no one in my school or neighborhood really understand. And it feels so awkward telling them. Especially with my fam. My brother is sining but I don't know how to tell him. (Im 10 turning 11 in June)🔥❤️
Don’t worry! Pray to God and He will show you how to help them. He loves them even more than you do and He wants them to know Him. One of the biggest things that will show your friends and family that God is so good is by being a good example and living a Christian life. 1 Timothy 4:12 says: “Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 12 And don't let anyone put you down because you're young.” I really hoped that helped and I will be praying for you! I am a teenager so I understand how it feels to have friends who don’t understand God. I am here to talk if you need to even if this is just a comment section!
I'm 14 years old, and I truly believe God has led me to this video. Today I went on a surten posture for the Lord and just prayed, surrending my life to Him. I asked God to remove the old me and to have a relationship with Him, and be on fire for Him again. Today, I came to the realization that i really need to make right with God and stop playing around with wordly things and sin. It's never too late to find Jesus and to pick up your cross. Jesus loves you!🙏❤️
Ashley, I cannot thank you enough for your content. I started following you back before I was Christian when I was living a life of sin. God was calling me and you were one of the ways he reached me. I remember watching your videos and feeling connected to them, and I believe you, along with other people, planted seeds for me. I'm now at a point where I am fully submersed in my faith and love for Jesus. Thank you so much. Also this video is so good
Wowwwww I needed this!!!! Just fell into an old bad habit and was feeling so guilty about it. This message was great timing. Committing to turning away from worldly temptations 🍻🍸 👎and coming back to God’s embrace. ✝️❤️
This is exactly what I’m going through and I can’t help but be so ashamed. I’ve never been close to God but now I want to learn about him and I was not even sure how to start but this video gave me a bit of direction
@@lauralagier9404 This is so kind! I appreciate your comment a ton. 💕 Been dealing with a rough time and sweet comments like this actually make a huge difference. 😊 Thank you, sis, for showing the love of Jesus. ❤️
@@refilwemekgwe4600 You aren’t in it alone! ❤️ I totally understand feeling the shame. I’ve been listening to devotionals talking about how the shame that causes us to repent is a good thing because it causes us to talk to God about what we’ve done wrong, but we also don’t have to continue to live in that shame because of Christ’s sacrifice. Once we bring it before the Lord, then we can leave the shame behind and walk forward in His grace and mercy. 💕 Easier said than done, so I still struggle with it, but He is teaching me:)
Im 15 years old, and i feel so so lost these past few months.Ive been trying to get in a good relationship with jesus but it just doesnt seem enough.I have so much anxiety for the future,school and all those things and God.I am trying to balance all that and literally renew my mind.As a person i deep think a lot of things and currently im trying to reset everything,with God.I got emotional watching this video,it helped me,and i will still try to be better.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥I’m going to have a real, authentic, surrendered, all-encompassing relationship with God in Jesus’s Name, Amen!!! Thanks Ashley!!! So on point and Spirit led 😭
I needed to hear this today. Lately, I've been fighting sexual temptation so much and if I sin, I'll wake up at like 2am and instantly crying for forgiveness. I've felt conviction most of my life, but never as much as I am now.
I am in this situation right now! Just broke up with my boyfriend in order to be pure again in my relationship with Christ. When we would do it, I would sink after bawling my eyes because the spirit is sensitive. God is good!!
We don’t need to ask for forgiveness bc he has already forgiven us! Come back to him and pray for him to make his desires your desires, and let’s learn not to trust our thoughts, but instead Gods word. That has helped me fight temptation a lot
I advise you to embrace the religion of Islam. I now feel a sense of comfort that I have never felt before. I have become a Muslim. Try listening to the Qur’an and you will not regret it. Believe me.
I have been a Christian since I was 18. I am now 65. The first thing is to always read the word daily and prayer. To shed people who keep you from serving God. We must walk away. Love your message.
Perfect timing, I got born again last year was on fire for god , been dealing with schizophrenia and being in and out of hospitals, since being put on meds I’ve felt different more lukewarm haven’t read my bible or prayed. Ur channel is a light in the dark tunnel for me reminds me no matter my mistakes he is there and I can start over again.
This happened to me your not alone. I Was hospitalized twice for a month at a time for Bipolar 1. Experienced so many terrifying hallucinations. After the second time….It was hard at first to read his word and have a relationship with him. I fell back a step….and slowly he has been drawing me back. Don’t give up! I understand the severity mental health can have on your body and mind. He loves you very very much. He cares for us deeply. His thoughts for us are like sand on the beach endless and forever. ♥️
I used to go to this church that didn't help me grow. some of the pastors put politics in their messages, and I felt like an outcast in the youth group because no one wanted to hang out with the lukewarm (baby Christens is what my bf calls us lol) kids. because of that, I never get that since of community that I needed. I had a tug on my heart to move churches but at the same time I was struggling with my faith. I started to look like everyone else and almost rejected God all together. Then I met my boyfriend and he saw me for who I was and not this version of myself I made it was crazy, but I know God put him in my life for a reason. I have now moved churches, and my eyes opened to see so much I didn't know about being a God follower. I now play DnD with other Christens, and I'm starting to build a community with them. I've truly changed as a person because I'm slowly growing in my relationship with him, because I finally have the tools I need.
I just turned 17 and went to church on Easter for the first time in a really long time and I truly feel I was touched by the Holy Spirit that day and ever since then I have decided I wanted to get to know God more and grow my relationship with him and it’s definitely been a bit of a struggle but I won’t be giving up💕💕
I am 13 yrs old and always feel luke warm because I still want an approval from people who don't even care. Watching this was so helpful and inspiring! I can't wait to start my journey in Crist ❤️❤️(I can't find the other heart emoji but yeah)
I never comment on videos, but this morning as I was reading my Bible and journaling about it. I wrote about how I fell into a season of being a Luke warm christian and then saw that you posted this video! So, thank you! God is so good :)
one thing that has always been helpful for me in my lukewarm seasons is reminding myself why I do all these things to get closer to God. it's not because I want to be a "good Christian," it's because doing things like reading the Bible, praying, and following God's commandments as best I can shows me God's character in a way I can't understand if I don't engage with Him on a consistent basis. I used to just go through the motions to look good from the outside and make everyone think I was great and I barely sinned at all, but I realized that's not the point of doing all these things - it's actually to know God better and build that personal relationship with my literal Creator. switching my mindset helped me so much to build discipline and stoke a fire for Jesus and getting to know Him so maybe it'll help some of you too :) Jesus loves you no matter how "good" or "bad" of a Christian or person you think you are and so do I
I've been a Christian my whole life, I'm 18, I go to Church every Sunday and I'm baptised and confirmed yet I know I need to do more. Thank you for this video, God Bless ❤🔥
"How do you fall in love with anyone? Let's think about it.. you spend time with them." Wow so beautifully said and true. It's easily overlooked in a world of increasing distractions. May patience (endurance) have its perfect work in you, until you are perfect and entire, lacking nothing. 😇👍🏾
You are the best. I saw you on youtube shorts and now i get to watch your vidoes! I fell back into sin at 12 years old after two years of not doing it. I was saved from my suicidal thoughts at 13 years old. Now 14 I feel this hunger and thirst to get to know God. God has saved me and is still helping me with the temptation to go back to that sin. I feel like I am not doing enough. I feel like I am lukewarm and not doing enough. You have really helped. I feel sad I didn't get to know him when I was younger. But I have learned Gods timing is perfect! Though I live in the state of Mormons and we go to church evey sunday and I just do not know if it is the right religion. Especially because of what my ward and maybe othere wards as well, are accepting. Sorry I went rambling but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me and I pray for those who need help. May God bless you all! ❤️🔥
It's been few months and I don't feel like praying worshipping or anything. I feel so empty inside no one to talk to or share my struggles with. I have no close friends and I don't even know how to talk to God about what am going through. Everytime I try to pray or put on some worship songs I feel nothing. I saw your video today morning when I opened youtube I ignored it and same thing in the evening I opened youtube again and your video was still first to see. I believe it's for a great reason. Dear sister and youtube family kindly pray for me and advice me please. God bless you
My sister works for you (Dana) and seeing the change that happened to her because of her seeking a relationship with Christ, that has made me be braver, and now after years of being away from God, I am now finding my way back.
Thank you so much Ashley for these tips. I have been struggling with being a Lukewarm Christian but, now I am going to put these tips into effect just as God wants me to do. We all appreciate all that you do! May God bless you and please keep creating more content like this for us all. God bless you and may you have a great upcoming week! ❤🔥
❤🔥i am young but i want to commit my life to God and this video helped me more then church or youth groups have I am starting my journey today because of this video
I feel like I am conforming to the ways people behave, and the relationships I have with them because I feel hopeful that they will change for the better. Although it's not a bad thought, I feel that I have been focusing on their lives & being engrossed in their worldly activities, even though I avoid participating. I think subliminally, I have been allowing myself to slip up more, even when I feel the discrenment not to. It feels like i avoid alot of things I used to do to feel Christ, and sometimes I question my faith & relationship with God, as I don't feel that i reflect the words I say about how He impacted my life. I want it to be real, not just something that helped me cope in a part of my life, I want to be steadfast in Him, not get affected when my past mistakes or self has been brought up; I want to know with Jesus. with all that said, this is probably the most intentional action I had about my faith in awhile.
I come back to this video whenever I need to refresh myself and remind myself how to commit my life to God again. I used to straight up reject God due to personal trauma that had christianity unfortunately tied to it in some aspects. I am trying to rekindle my faith and rebuild a relationship but it wasn’t until recently that I decided I needed to really commit to the path because I realized I was lukewarm out of fear of being vulnerable again. Thank you for the advice! I’m definitely more confident in my commitment now!
ive been in my LUKEWARM ERA for about 4 months now. Im 15, a sophomore in high school, but I just want to get closer to God. Ashley, your my hero. Thank you for posting videos i can come click on when i just need a friend. ❤❤❤❤
It’s really difficult for me to attend church alone, but this video helped me realize that I won't be alone - I have God by my side every step of the way. Thank you🎉❤
Last night I talked to somebody about my struggle letting go of somebody who I knew was holding me back. That person said they would pray for me, and today that man who I knew was leading me into temptation let me go. God is good
Been feeling lukewarm recently and it usually happens when I'm busy with work and other things. But I am trying to praise, pray and seek God even when busy
Girl I have been Looking at videos on Repent, and surrendering to Jesus Christ for being a Luke warm Christian. I am going all the way to have a relationship with God. I am a 48 year old single christian girl. And I just stop reading my bible for a month and had so many distraction. So I watch Dr. Stanely about The Purpose of repenting, and Watching this channel. Girl, I am glad I came across your channel. Because I needed to hear this. Thank You!
A good Bible plan I use is called The Bible Recap! It’s a year long series going through the entire Bible chronologically and the person who leads this podcast is amazing for breaking down what’s happening. She’s so easy to follow and it’s a quick thing to do each day!
Hey Ashley! I just want to thank you. First of all: i´m from Germany so please forgive the broken English. I want to thank you, because of you i finally decided to study the bible and want to have a relationship with Jesus. I brought my first bible a few days ago and your guides and videos really helped me to make a plan and get going. You´re such an inspiration! Only Love - Leonie
❤️🔥This is a total word in season for a lot of us. I felt convicted about not getting out there in Christian community and what I watch (i.e. tv shows, movies, RUclips, etc.). Your videos have helped me in my walk with God. I got a one year Bible last year and no I haven’t read it in a year. But I am spending time with God daily. It was a process! It me took months to be consistent, focused, and quiet. After a year or so of spending time with Him daily, I can testify that it made a huge difference in my life. I will not let anything or anyone come between my time with Him. If I have to wake up earlier I will because there’s nothing like His presence. He is so good! If you’ve been struggling, I’ve been there! I think we all have. Just start one day and a time. No condemnation if you miss a day here or there. Just keep seeking Him and you will find Him. He promised it in His word. And what He says He does. Love you sisters in Christ! ❤
THIS BOOK HELPED MY ME ON MY WALK SO MUCH it’s called “when your way isn’t working” all about how God is the way it’s really relatable, insightful and you learn a lot about the Bible
❤🔥i am 12 years old and this video really helps me because ive been wanting to be closer to god and ive always struggled with sin i knew my sins were bad but now im really working on myself and stepping away from sin and going to god:) god bless you all and i hope you have a wonderfull day or night :D
Love when you said that God helped you to find good Christian music!!! The same thing happened to me, I used to not want to listen to worship because I thought it was “boring”- but now I feel so light and happy after listening to my worship playlist!!
Remember guys, you won’t always feel close to God, but He is still there. Your faithfulness through those time of spiritual desolation can bring you and God closer together. And spiritual desolation isn’t always a punishment it’s just a natural fluctuation between that and spiritual consolation.
❤🔥, I just started reading the Bible yesterday, weeks before it I started questioning on how and where to start, so I looked at other christian influencers to find some what of a guideline looking at videos, listening to podcasts until I bought my own bible. I also looked at different bibles, tried to understand the differences, so that I now own my own first woman study bible. I would say though that the interest and urge to find out more and me being fascinated by it started a few months ago until the thought became bigger and bigger in my head. I want to find the true love and relationship with god, although it has been hard vocalizing that with my surroundings. I'm happy to be here and hope to find my way to god, which is why Im very thankful for finding your video and any help that I can get❤❤
Ashley, thank you! This is exactly the same pattern I am dealing with. I have a divided heart and I am really struggling. This was an answered prayer. I know that it's all in and Gods way or the other way. I have been looking for things that fill the void, but nothing does. It's been hard and I would appreciate prayer. ❤
I had to stay home from church today because I am sick and the livestream at my church failed so this video popped up! I don’t think it’s coincidence. These are things I’ve really been failing at lately as a Christian. They’re honestly things I don’t even want to change! But I know God is leading me to holier things. Amen! 😊
Girl! I already commented, but I'm still listening and so encouraged! My boys are probably about your age and man, this speaks loudly! I am sending it to both of them. PREACH!!! I don't know what your relationship is like with your parents, but I'm proud of you! XO
thank you so much ashley for this video. I have been struggling with the "disease" of lukewarmness and i realized its because i had " friends" in my life who negatively influenced me. I could never find a quality christian friends that were not content to just have " christian" on the instagram profile. You inspired my to start a chat where teen girls can connect. Thank you so much. God bless you!
❤️🔥This so perfect for right now, God has been placing things in my life recently like different sermons, Bible Studies and this video showing me that I need to be on fire for Him and stop being lukewarm. You are such a blessing Ash
i started my bible reading daily journey with 1 john since it is short but convicting. 100% reccomend for people who wanna challenge themselves with not only reading everyday but growing in their faith.
My prayer has been answered! thank you! This Morning I went to church and I prayed for something to help me get out of my lukewarm era, then this evening I found this video. Thank You Ashley!
Oh Ashley I am so so proud of you. I would’ve never known you came out of that lifestyle from the way you live now and Thank God you came out of that lifestyle so that you can give us this advice! This video will change peoples’ hearts and perspectives. I love you Ash!!! 💗💗💗
YES! Literally love you and I’m so grateful this video came up. It feels lonely until you find your tribe. Thank you for the 🔥🔥🔥reminder that life on mission with Jesus is worth the sojourning. God bless you sis, thank you !!
❤️🔥Wowww!!! God is so good!!! I prayed for him to show me the right path form my life, and to step out of my lukewarm period, and he brought me to this video!!! Praise God because he truly is soo loving!!!!
I have always struggled to grow closer to Christ because of my past mistakes and I am now about to move into a stage of my life where I must work to keep him with me and my relationship with family, friends, and boyfriend. I thank you for making these videos because they help me so much and I am learning how to maintain this in my life.

Coming from a 20yr old it’s really amazing to see a 12yr old with this amount of wisdom. Keep this attitude as you grow older and you’ll change the lives of so many

So proud of you
my fellow 12 yr! I wholeheartedly agree with you!

Aww I’m genuinely so happy that you want to be closer to God ,even tho there’s is some circumstances,stay strong with the help of the lord ☀️🙌
Keep praying for your parents. God is testing your faith. Study all things faith. Look into Pastor Henderson on The Courts Of Heaven. Take your time and go to God as a child.

Hey everyone I just wanted to give you an update. I’ve prayed for my family to be saved more times than I can count and the Lord is truly amazing. My sister has found God, my brother has found God, and my mom is extremely supportive of all of us. I still pray for my parents to find their way back to the Lord, and I see it happening soon for my mom. Ashley has continued to help me in my faith journey, and I pray for my faith and my family’s faith to grow and that we become more connected with the Lord. Praise the Lord!
I’ve been struggling with how to balance technology and faith in our home, and ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ provided some amazing insights that we’ve already started using
"we don't have to be friends with the things Jesus died for".
God bless you sister 🥰

For everyone out there: it’s never too late to turn your life around. Also.. you don’t have to hit rock bottom to turn your life around. You know what’s right, just do it now! Don’t wait to hit rock bottom.
I love this!❤
Thank you 🥺🥺🥺 I really appreciate it
And on the other side of the spectrum, don’t feel like you need a testimony of hitting rock-bottom or staying at all, following Jesus from your youth is also a beautiful testimony that will save you some heartache. Psalm 118.

It's so nice to see someone who's young that wants to be with Christ, I'm so proud of you and also is Jesus, you're maybe going to struggle a bit but he's with you,and will never abandon or forget you, remember that! ❤️
Thank you all so much for your likes and replies! I really appreciate it!🤗
Yes! That is so good! ❤ Hold onto God in tough times. I know that staying consistent in your relationship with Christ can be hard in the busy times, but hold onto him and PRAY all of the time because that kept my relationship strong.

Great job!

God Bless you sister
I advise you to follow the religion of Islam. My life changed when I became a Muslim. I feel a psychological comfort that I had never felt before. Try my advice and you will not regret it. Search for the Qur’an and listen for one minute and you will feel comfortable.
I'm 15 yrs old i was lukewarm christian. After hearing this i have decided to follow Jesus.

❤️🔥 I'm trying to grow my relationship with Jesus. My parents are Christian but they personally don't like to go to church so I made the decision that I would be going by myself on Sundays because I really want to get to know Him and take action in my beliefs!! Im going to church for the first time this Sunday im so excited to finally get to go
Hey! That’s amazing and I’m so proud of you for talking that step and so I’m sure is Jesus!! 🫶🏻😁How’d it go?
@@HannahsBookishThings Really good! I met a lot of friendly people and had a really good time there I can't wait until I can get baptized 😁
Nice
Girl my parents don’t like church either and are Christian and I’m going alone to you are not alone xxx
Did you go?
My heart is heavy cause I feel like I've sinned against Him over and over again. God I want inner peace by getting to know you
I’m currently 40 and I came to Jesus and got batized in Dec 2021, I didnt even believe in God and had no other religion, so it’s never late! Living with Jesus has set me free from the sins, wrong mindset, worldly friendships… I thought I knew what life was but the Holy Spirit showed me the truth about everything! Just cant believe how I was able to live without God for that long!
Amen!!!!!
So true. I believe in Jesus Christ Our Lord and l love him. So true what you say. God bless you and praise the Lord
You were not alone he is always there for you even if you didn't know ❤
Yessir❤❤
just a teen girl wanting to have a relationship with the father! i love your videos they are so inspiring GOD BLESS!❤🔥
13 years old this helps ALOT i recently started my relationship with Jesus and God
Congrats! Jesus is God ❤
I'm 53 and I love to see all the young girls watching your videos!! You are an inspiration for women of all ages ❤
To whoever sees this, It doesn’t matter what situation your in for the lord is always with you and you will be in my 🙏 prayers. God bless you.❤
Thank you. Likewise.
Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, Remind this person, through all trial and fault that you are with them and that you Love them. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit.Amen 🙏✝️
Thanks. I am trying to hanging in there. I am going through a lot like my health and mom's health. There's more I didn't mention.
im 14 year old, and i wanted to be closer to God, I need his presence everyday,and i want to have a strong relationship with him, i hope God help me to overcome problems, and to fight evil
I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression. I was exactly like you, partying and doing things I shouldn’t have been doing. In 2020 I had my life touch my God. And now I feel like I’m slipping back and feel bad that I slip back. May God help me strengthen my relationship with Him.
Remember that shame and gilt is not from the Lord it is from the devil. God convics us and helps us to be better and to pursue him. I know how you feel I struggled for years with similar things and Jesus set me free. Keep going and know that you are not alone God is always there with you even if you don't feel him. I'm praying for you sister ❤❤❤
The Lord is your strength, ask God to help you through temptation and help you resist and stay on track!! He is with you!!! Give yourself grace but not excuses to fall into sin. It is well!!!❤❤❤
Remember no one talks to you more than you talk to yourself. So be nice to yourself, speaking compassion to yourself and spend time in prayer. Just remember that when the prodigal son returned his father greeted him with open arms.
keep going, God is with you
I used to struggle with depression and anxiety and God delivered me completely. I was tired of living in sin and I surrendered my life to Jesus as a living sacrifice. Repent and turn from your sin, you are forgiven. Shame, guilt and condemnation is not your portion. Praise, praise, praise to remove the spirit of heaviness. God loves you, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Today is my birthday 🥳 and I’m celebrating by learning to grow a connection with God. May the rest of my days be filled with God’s love and protection. Thank you for this video ❤️🔥
I'm 26 , I was a moslem before but finally I find my way to trust Jesus 💖 I got baptized on 16 March this year and feel so blessed ✨
I still learn many things about being a Christian and trying to get closer to God.
I don't have any Christian family or friends so this channel is helping me so much ❤
Big thanks to you sist ❤
God bless ❤❤
God Bless you and may Jesus Christ save your soul💕
i am the youngest participating person in the youth group and no one seems to be on fire for Jesus. I want to find people like that but even my so called christian friends are bathing in the flesh. And I feel so much empathy cause I know what my friends have been through and I don't want to stop being their friend and hurt them. Plus even when I bring the topic up sometimes it goes so wrong. Like no one in my school or neighborhood really understand. And it feels so awkward telling them. Especially with my fam. My brother is sining but I don't know how to tell him. (Im 10 turning 11 in June)🔥❤️
don't lose hope, be example
Don’t worry! Pray to God and He will show you how to help them. He loves them even more than you do and He wants them to know Him. One of the biggest things that will show your friends and family that God is so good is by being a good example and living a Christian life. 1 Timothy 4:12 says: “Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 12 And don't let anyone put you down because you're young.” I really hoped that helped and I will be praying for you! I am a teenager so I understand how it feels to have friends who don’t understand God. I am here to talk if you need to even if this is just a comment section!
God is speaking to me! Thank you Jesus.💛
I do that, ❤😂❤ talking to God bathing 🧼 crocheting 🧶 knitting ... thanking God 🙏🏾 for waking me up still here 😭🙏🏾 thank you Lord 🌻🙌🏾🌹
Let's set our hearts on fire for God! ❤🔥
I'm 14 years old, and I truly believe God has led me to this video.
Today I went on a surten posture for the Lord and just prayed, surrending my life to Him. I asked God to remove the old me and to have a relationship with Him, and be on fire for Him again. Today, I came to the realization that i really need to make right with God and stop playing around with wordly things and sin. It's never too late to find Jesus and to pick up your cross. Jesus loves you!🙏❤️
Ashley, I cannot thank you enough for your content. I started following you back before I was Christian when I was living a life of sin. God was calling me and you were one of the ways he reached me. I remember watching your videos and feeling connected to them, and I believe you, along with other people, planted seeds for me. I'm now at a point where I am fully submersed in my faith and love for Jesus. Thank you so much. Also this video is so good
A few seconds in, and not only have I subscribe but I am convinced that this channel is for me.
Wowwwww I needed this!!!! Just fell into an old bad habit and was feeling so guilty about it. This message was great timing. Committing to turning away from worldly temptations 🍻🍸 👎and coming back to God’s embrace. ✝️❤️
You are so loved! We’re with you, my sister! ❤
This is exactly what I’m going through and I can’t help but be so ashamed. I’ve never been close to God but now I want to learn about him and I was not even sure how to start but this video gave me a bit of direction
@karamae7626 Aww thank you sis! It’s so sweet to see the support around here. 💕😊
@@lauralagier9404 This is so kind! I appreciate your comment a ton. 💕 Been dealing with a rough time and sweet comments like this actually make a huge difference. 😊 Thank you, sis, for showing the love of Jesus. ❤️
@@refilwemekgwe4600 You aren’t in it alone! ❤️ I totally understand feeling the shame. I’ve been listening to devotionals talking about how the shame that causes us to repent is a good thing because it causes us to talk to God about what we’ve done wrong, but we also don’t have to continue to live in that shame because of Christ’s sacrifice. Once we bring it before the Lord, then we can leave the shame behind and walk forward in His grace and mercy. 💕 Easier said than done, so I still struggle with it, but He is teaching me:)
Im 15 years old, and i feel so so lost these past few months.Ive been trying to get in a good relationship with jesus but it just doesnt seem enough.I have so much anxiety for the future,school and all those things and God.I am trying to balance all that and literally renew my mind.As a person i deep think a lot of things and currently im trying to reset everything,with God.I got emotional watching this video,it helped me,and i will still try to be better.
❤️🔥 thank you for your encouragement! I was baptized 10/15/23 🙌🏾
you are such a blessing.

❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥I’m going to have a real, authentic, surrendered, all-encompassing relationship with God in Jesus’s Name, Amen!!! Thanks Ashley!!! So on point and Spirit led 😭
I needed to hear this today. Lately, I've been fighting sexual temptation so much and if I sin, I'll wake up at like 2am and instantly crying for forgiveness. I've felt conviction most of my life, but never as much as I am now.
God love you
I am in this situation right now! Just broke up with my boyfriend in order to be pure again in my relationship with Christ. When we would do it, I would sink after bawling my eyes because the spirit is sensitive. God is good!!
We don’t need to ask for forgiveness bc he has already forgiven us! Come back to him and pray for him to make his desires your desires, and let’s learn not to trust our thoughts, but instead Gods word. That has helped me fight temptation a lot
I advise you to embrace the religion of Islam. I now feel a sense of comfort that I have never felt before. I have become a Muslim. Try listening to the Qur’an and you will not regret it. Believe me.
@@EmilyAdolfbest advice sis: Come back to Jesus
I have been a Christian since I was 18. I am now 65. The first thing is to always read the word daily and prayer. To shed people who keep you from serving God. We must walk away. Love your message.
I am 15 years old and i really want to be consistent in spending time with God. I was a lukewarm Christian before and this video really helped me
What a beautiful video. I pray that everyone who watches this, gets to KNOW God.
Perfect timing, I got born again last year was on fire for god , been dealing with schizophrenia and being in and out of hospitals, since being put on meds I’ve felt different more lukewarm haven’t read my bible or prayed. Ur channel is a light in the dark tunnel for me reminds me no matter my mistakes he is there and I can start over again.
✝❤
This happened to me your not alone. I Was hospitalized twice for a month at a time for Bipolar 1. Experienced so many terrifying hallucinations. After the second time….It was hard at first to read his word and have a relationship with him. I fell back a step….and slowly he has been drawing me back. Don’t give up! I understand the severity mental health can have on your body and mind. He loves you very very much. He cares for us deeply. His thoughts for us are like sand on the beach endless and forever. ♥️
You're not alone, girl! Keep your progress going, God's happy to have you.❤
Please please checkout Jerry Marzenski and his work with patients with schizophrenia
I become so emotional while watching this. I no longer want to hurt my relationship with God. Thank you for putting out this video. ❤️🔥
I used to go to this church that didn't help me grow. some of the pastors put politics in their messages, and I felt like an outcast in the youth group because no one wanted to hang out with the lukewarm (baby Christens is what my bf calls us lol) kids. because of that, I never get that since of community that I needed. I had a tug on my heart to move churches but at the same time I was struggling with my faith. I started to look like everyone else and almost rejected God all together. Then I met my boyfriend and he saw me for who I was and not this version of myself I made it was crazy, but I know God put him in my life for a reason. I have now moved churches, and my eyes opened to see so much I didn't know about being a God follower. I now play DnD with other Christens, and I'm starting to build a community with them. I've truly changed as a person because I'm slowly growing in my relationship with him, because I finally have the tools I need.
I just turned 17 and went to church on Easter for the first time in a really long time and I truly feel I was touched by the Holy Spirit that day and ever since then I have decided I wanted to get to know God more and grow my relationship with him and it’s definitely been a bit of a struggle but I won’t be giving up💕💕
I am 13 yrs old and always feel luke warm because I still want an approval from people who don't even care. Watching this was so helpful and inspiring! I can't wait to start my journey in Crist ❤️❤️(I can't find the other heart emoji but yeah)
I’m 43 and the time of being lukewarm is gone 😢 thank you for this powerful video god bless you ❤ and your message
I never comment on videos, but this morning as I was reading my Bible and journaling about it. I wrote about how I fell into a season of being a Luke warm christian and then saw that you posted this video! So, thank you! God is so good :)
❤️🔥 I don't want to binge eat anymore and I believe God will help me. I am on fire for God. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
one thing that has always been helpful for me in my lukewarm seasons is reminding myself why I do all these things to get closer to God. it's not because I want to be a "good Christian," it's because doing things like reading the Bible, praying, and following God's commandments as best I can shows me God's character in a way I can't understand if I don't engage with Him on a consistent basis. I used to just go through the motions to look good from the outside and make everyone think I was great and I barely sinned at all, but I realized that's not the point of doing all these things - it's actually to know God better and build that personal relationship with my literal Creator. switching my mindset helped me so much to build discipline and stoke a fire for Jesus and getting to know Him so maybe it'll help some of you too :) Jesus loves you no matter how "good" or "bad" of a Christian or person you think you are and so do I
AMEN! he wants all of us! Every Part!
We can find all our pleasure in Him! He is so good! We are designed for Him and full oneness with Him
I realized that I had fallen into sin, not obeying God's commandments, not reading the Bible, not praying. Please 🙏 prayer me
praying for you! 💗
I've been a Christian my whole life, I'm 18, I go to Church every Sunday and I'm baptised and confirmed yet I know I need to do more. Thank you for this video, God Bless ❤🔥
What more do you *need* to do? Why do you need to do it?
"How do you fall in love with anyone? Let's think about it.. you spend time with them."
Wow so beautifully said and true. It's easily overlooked in a world of increasing distractions. May patience (endurance) have its perfect work in you, until you are perfect and entire, lacking nothing. 😇👍🏾
You are the best. I saw you on youtube shorts and now i get to watch your vidoes! I fell back into sin at 12 years old after two years of not doing it. I was saved from my suicidal thoughts at 13 years old.
Now 14 I feel this hunger and thirst to get to know God. God has saved me and is still helping me with the temptation to go back to that sin. I feel like I am not doing enough. I feel like I am lukewarm and not doing enough. You have really helped. I feel sad I didn't get to know him when I was younger. But I have learned Gods timing is perfect! Though I live in the state of Mormons and we go to church evey sunday and I just do not know if it is the right religion. Especially because of what my ward and maybe othere wards as well, are accepting.
Sorry I went rambling but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me and I pray for those who need help. May God bless you all! ❤️🔥
It's been few months and I don't feel like praying worshipping or anything. I feel so empty inside no one to talk to or share my struggles with. I have no close friends and I don't even know how to talk to God about what am going through. Everytime I try to pray or put on some worship songs I feel nothing. I saw your video today morning when I opened youtube I ignored it and same thing in the evening I opened youtube again and your video was still first to see. I believe it's for a great reason. Dear sister and youtube family kindly pray for me and advice me please. God bless you
My sister works for you (Dana) and seeing the change that happened to her because of her seeking a relationship with Christ, that has made me be braver, and now after years of being away from God, I am now finding my way back.
Thank you so much Ashley for these tips. I have been struggling with being a Lukewarm Christian but, now I am going to put these tips into effect just as God wants me to do. We all appreciate all that you do! May God bless you and please keep creating more content like this for us all. God bless you and may you have a great upcoming week! ❤🔥
❤🔥i am young but i want to commit my life to God and this video helped me more then church or youth groups have I am starting my journey today because of this video
I feel like I am conforming to the ways people behave, and the relationships I have with them because I feel hopeful that they will change for the better. Although it's not a bad thought, I feel that I have been focusing on their lives & being engrossed in their worldly activities, even though I avoid participating. I think subliminally, I have been allowing myself to slip up more, even when I feel the discrenment not to. It feels like i avoid alot of things I used to do to feel Christ, and sometimes I question my faith & relationship with God, as I don't feel that i reflect the words I say about how He impacted my life. I want it to be real, not just something that helped me cope in a part of my life, I want to be steadfast in Him, not get affected when my past mistakes or self has been brought up; I want to know with Jesus. with all that said, this is probably the most intentional action I had about my faith in awhile.
I come back to this video whenever I need to refresh myself and remind myself how to commit my life to God again.
I used to straight up reject God due to personal trauma that had christianity unfortunately tied to it in some aspects. I am trying to rekindle my faith and rebuild a relationship but it wasn’t until recently that I decided I needed to really commit to the path because I realized I was lukewarm out of fear of being vulnerable again.
Thank you for the advice! I’m definitely more confident in my commitment now!
ive been in my LUKEWARM ERA for about 4 months now. Im 15, a sophomore in high school, but I just want to get closer to God. Ashley, your my hero. Thank you for posting videos i can come click on when i just need a friend. ❤❤❤❤

It’s really difficult for me to attend church alone, but this video helped me realize that I won't be alone - I have God by my side every step of the way.
Thank you🎉❤
Last night I talked to somebody about my struggle letting go of somebody who I knew was holding me back. That person said they would pray for me, and today that man who I knew was leading me into temptation let me go. God is good
Ready to leave laziness behind, even though it’s hard to start the habit, it will be worth it!
We have a Father who loves us.❤️🔥
I totally understand that same here
Been feeling lukewarm recently and it usually happens when I'm busy with work and other things. But I am trying to praise, pray and seek God even when busy
keep seeking God He is right there for you He is your strength
Girl I have been Looking at videos on Repent, and surrendering to Jesus Christ for being a Luke warm Christian. I am going all the way to have a relationship with God. I am a 48 year old single christian girl. And I just stop reading my bible for a month and had so many distraction. So I watch Dr. Stanely about The Purpose of repenting, and Watching this channel. Girl, I am glad I came across your channel. Because I needed to hear this. Thank You!
A good Bible plan I use is called The Bible Recap! It’s a year long series going through the entire Bible chronologically and the person who leads this podcast is amazing for breaking down what’s happening. She’s so easy to follow and it’s a quick thing to do each day!
Downloaded just now, thank you for sharing!
Hey Ashley! I just want to thank you. First of all: i´m from Germany so please forgive the broken English. I want to thank you, because of you i finally decided to study the bible and want to have a relationship with Jesus. I brought my first bible a few days ago and your guides and videos really helped me to make a plan and get going. You´re such an inspiration! Only Love - Leonie
❤️🔥This is a total word in season for a lot of us. I felt convicted about not getting out there in Christian community and what I watch (i.e. tv shows, movies, RUclips, etc.).
Your videos have helped me in my walk with God. I got a one year Bible last year and no I haven’t read it in a year. But I am spending time with God daily. It was a process! It me took months to be consistent, focused, and quiet. After a year or so of spending time with Him daily, I can testify that it made a huge difference in my life. I will not let anything or anyone come between my time with Him. If I have to wake up earlier I will because there’s nothing like His presence. He is so good!
If you’ve been struggling, I’ve been there! I think we all have. Just start one day and a time. No condemnation if you miss a day here or there. Just keep seeking Him and you will find Him. He promised it in His word. And what He says He does.
Love you sisters in Christ! ❤
Bless you, sister! ❤
Your testimony is beautiful. I been struggling with following God and be productive, but I am getting better the more time I spend with hi.
“if you give the devil an inch, he will go a mile” it’s not enough to just stay away from temptation but things that will lead you to it too.
THIS BOOK HELPED MY ME ON MY WALK SO MUCH it’s called “when your way isn’t working” all about how God is the way it’s really relatable, insightful and you learn a lot about the Bible
❤️🔥 I’ve slowly lost myself and my relationship with God but I want to find Christ again and make it stay this time! I appreciate this video a lot ☺️
thank you ashley!! i didn’t even really think I was lukewarm before watching this video, but now I just want to grow even closer to God❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
❤🔥i am 12 years old and this video really helps me because ive been wanting to be closer to god and ive always struggled with sin i knew my sins were bad but now im really working on myself and stepping away from sin and going to god:) god bless you all and i hope you have a wonderfull day or night :D
Thank you so much for making these videos, it makes me feel happy knowing theres other christans who know what im going thru i know God loves me:)
Love when you said that God helped you to find good Christian music!!! The same thing happened to me, I used to not want to listen to worship because I thought it was “boring”- but now I feel so light and happy after listening to my worship playlist!!
Remember guys, you won’t always feel close to God, but He is still there. Your faithfulness through those time of spiritual desolation can bring you and God closer together. And spiritual desolation isn’t always a punishment it’s just a natural fluctuation between that and spiritual consolation.
❤🔥, I just started reading the Bible yesterday, weeks before it I started questioning on how and where to start, so I looked at other christian influencers to find some what of a guideline looking at videos, listening to podcasts until I bought my own bible. I also looked at different bibles, tried to understand the differences, so that I now own my own first woman study bible. I would say though that the interest and urge to find out more and me being fascinated by it started a few months ago until the thought became bigger and bigger in my head. I want to find the true love and relationship with god, although it has been hard vocalizing that with my surroundings. I'm happy to be here and hope to find my way to god, which is why Im very thankful for finding your video and any help that I can get❤❤
Sometimes it's good to take a step back and start from square one to realize what we've done wrong
Thank you Ashley ❤️🔥
This just came at a great time for me. I really need this today
I know right amen brother in Christ 🙏🏼
Ashley, thank you! This is exactly the same pattern I am dealing with. I have a divided heart and I am really struggling. This was an answered prayer. I know that it's all in and Gods way or the other way. I have been looking for things that fill the void, but nothing does. It's been hard and I would appreciate prayer. ❤
Praying for you Isabel! That divided heart is real 🫠I have one too but no more! God will deliver us if we let Him!
I had to stay home from church today because I am sick and the livestream at my church failed so this video popped up! I don’t think it’s coincidence. These are things I’ve really been failing at lately as a Christian. They’re honestly things I don’t even want to change! But I know God is leading me to holier things. Amen! 😊
Girl! I already commented, but I'm still listening and so encouraged! My boys are probably about your age and man, this speaks loudly! I am sending it to both of them. PREACH!!! I don't know what your relationship is like with your parents, but I'm proud of you! XO
thank you so much ashley for this video. I have been struggling with the "disease" of lukewarmness and i realized its because i had " friends" in my life who negatively influenced me. I could never find a quality christian friends that were not content to just have " christian" on the instagram profile. You inspired my to start a chat where teen girls can connect. Thank you so much. God bless you!
Hi i am a teen and i would love to join the chat if possible. I wish to have a friends who I can connect with about this
I need to join that it would be great and help sm
❤️🔥This so perfect for right now, God has been placing things in my life recently like different sermons, Bible Studies and this video showing me that I need to be on fire for Him and stop being lukewarm. You are such a blessing Ash
i started my bible reading daily journey with 1 john since it is short but convicting. 100% reccomend for people who wanna challenge themselves with not only reading everyday but growing in their faith.

I have always struggled to grow closer to Christ because of my past mistakes and I am now about to move into a stage of my life where I must work to keep him with me and my relationship with family, friends, and boyfriend. I thank you for making these videos because they help me so much and I am learning how to maintain this in my life.
