That's a great question! I recently got back from a retreat & the Lord spoke to me about certain "friends". I knew i had to cut ties with them. I was unsure as to how to go about it.. with one person, i did end up leaving a vm saying that we are on 2 separate spiritual paths & I pray she makes the right decisions in life...she responded w/ anger...some people will not understand...ask the Lord to lead you so that you are guilt free..t@sararivera2396

want to hear God’s voices 1. Watch less news and media 2. Less negative people in your life 3. Stop criticizing and judging people 4. Quit talking about problems 5. Quit overdoing 6. Stop pleasing people 7. Stop overthinking
If anyone could pray for me that'd be cool. I'm the one who walks out of Church after it's over right away because of social anxiety. I don't feel I'm good enough for a bible study either. I Pray every day to be less selfish and have the strength to obey God. Any prayers would help. Thank you!
praying for you. at about 20:30 she talks about not criticizing ourselves. take control of your tongue against yourself. don't speak out anxiety or your not good enough or your selfish or you don't have strength to obey God. start speaking out the truths of the Word of God. we cannot truly become like Jesus and be empowered to enforce the kingdom of God on earth unless we embrace the new identity that we have in Christ. We have been created anew, and are empowered against the devices of the enemy and we have authority to destroy the enemy's works here on earth. That changes everything. Being born again is only the first part of our new creation. Our mind has to be fully renewed to the truth of what Jesus says about us, and who He is in us. If that doesn't take place, our mind and body will not be operating in the new identity of Christ in us. We're no longer our own. It's Jesus in us that conquers evil around us. It's only when we allow the Word to fully renew our mind so that our body is in subjection and in obedience to the Word, that Jesus can empower us so that we can be full-on ambassadors of the kingdom of God here on Earth. Then and only then our new identity can be noticed by others because we're letting the Lord continue to be here amongst men, bringing his kingdom on earth and destroying the works of the devil. Col 3:1-3, 1Pet2:9, Gen 1:27, 1jn3:1,2a, Gal 3:27,28 Col 2:9,10 Eph 1:5
Of course you are good enough for Bible study! It will help you grow as a Christian and also help you to overcome your anxiety. Reach out to a local church and explain your situation. They will be so happy to accommodate you.
Father God I thank you for this soul. Thank you that prayer does change things. I thank you that you are God and you love mman12. You are concerned with what concerns mman12. I thank you that mman12 acknowledges their concerns and You are able to help them with everything that concerns them. I thank you for the victory in mman12’s life. I pray that they will not recognize themselves in the days, weeks, and months to come. I pray the confidence in who they are in YOU GOD will cause them to stand tall pull their shoulders back and head up and walk into any room You have called them to, having faith that Holy Spirit is with them to help. Jesus said the job of Holy Spirit coming is to comfort, to help us, to teach us. I pray that as you do the practical things my sister talked about in this video and you spend time getting to know God more and trusting Him By FAITH, you will begin to move more confidently in who you were made to be, free from ALL that are not like Christ in Jesus name. mman12, I am excited for the testimony of victory you will be able to shared with others in Jesus name. 🙏🏾 God bless you
Last year I had the same problem, when church was over I would hurry up and run out the church because I was socially awkward. BUT, what I did I ask GOD to please help me to overcome. I then notice that I would be alot calmer when church service was over. Just GOD to help you and HE WILL.
I had a strange spiritual experience where I threw my phone in the garbage 2 years ago at work, and felt something in my chest , had an ekg and was shaking with electrical feelings all over my body. Couldn't sleep for a week.
I found that if I wear earplugs when I’m reading my Bible to block out noise from the outside world and just 100% focus on the word, that I take in the information so much more stronger and I let myself get lost in the word and before I know it almost 2 hours have passed and I feel so fulfilled by the end of my study.
This is so rich. I had to quit my job because it was becoming so toxic that I was slipping from myself and God. Please pray for me as I try to reconnect with God and myself. I really want to live for Him.
Seriously. This has been weighing on me lately. I am praying that God himself closes the door on my job for me. I want to find a way that I can make a living serving Him and not being tied up with the "rat-race" all the time pleasing myself and others with things that simply DO NOT matter in the grand scheme of this very short time we have on this planet.
Having pastored churches for 40 years I can attest to the fact that carefully attending the 7 things listed here will do more to help Christans live victoriously than most can ever imagine.
@@RUAChristian ... by helping it stay healthy and uncompromised. Zero guarantee otherwise. Forgive me, please, if you even must. I simply wanted to add the last part of what I felt you mean by "being" part of a healthy church. Hark! There are insincere yet "friendly" churches with hidden behaviors you'll never know, hear or learn about. The compromised don't ever tell on each other unless they're either caught or have to. Maybe I know too much, is also what I'm saying. I'm not just wagging my fingers around on a keyboard to stir enough breeze for dusting purposes. Entering church buildings scare me, but for good reasons; I wish it wasn't like that for me though.

Here is what I have been doing lately: I watch Christian movies, listen to sermons by Dr. Charles Stanley (highly recommended!), listen to gospel music, pray on my knees more regularly, start my day with the Word of God, follow my devotional, guard and manage my thought-life/emotions more effectively (that`s where Satan attacks believers), maintain an attitude of gratefulness (getting God`s peace and joy in return) and just stay close to Him throughout my day by talking to Him. As a result, I do hear His voice more often, and He reveals Himself in other unique ways as well. Ask the Holy Spirit to make you sensitive and aware of His revelations. He will do it! Love from South Africa
You hit the nail on the head. God has led me in the same areas you described. Minimal to no news, no TV at all, minimal secular music, no toxic relationships, very good boundaries, lost some people, listen to Bible daily, listen to good books/podcasts by mature Christians-NOT because I’m better but rather because I CANT HANDLE IT! My eye and ear gates are very sensitive. Oh the quiet mind and peace I’ve found by talking to God all day about everything- my anger, irritation, my fears, despair, any conflict with other people, and concern for future. And the result has been a quiet mind about 80% of the time. Thank you for sharing! 20:09
Yes. It is amazing when we learn to live this way and continue to grow in the likeness of Jesus our savior. Thank you for sharing. Continue this path. Continue seeking His Face. He is so worthy. Praise God!
Yes. My friends of yesterday are near and dear to my heart for 30 years or more, but I am now a conservative Christian and I pray to God for new friends. I also love listening to Girls Gone Bible. ❤
About 10 years ago, at a crossroads in my early faith, I got into the shower and for some reason didn't bring any distractions like music or talk radio. That "quiet" shower changed my life for the good. The Holy Spirit did a miracle for my attitude during that shower. 10 years later, I still take non- distracted showers.
I resonate so much with this because... I converted to Christianity in February 2024. My bf just broke up with me 2 weeks ago... He left me when I needed him the most...I seeked for "my friends" to help me and hear me and...bum! I realised they are not friends at all! ... And I always looked for them first. I just had a dancing presentation yesterday with a dancing group that is "dark" (veeery talented and artistic but dark); I was there for 6 years. I also have a "big mouth", I talked bad about my ex and his family and the bad things he used to do. I studied sacred music and I've been in a church choir for like 3 years but it is far from where I live, I spend aloooot of time going there, singing in mass and coming back and they are not very friendly or talkative either. So... I'm just tired, I feel my life is changing...God is changing it.I've made a lot of mistakes, and didn't choose my friends and bf correctly, etc. So... I'm quitting my dancing lessons and spending too much time and money on it. I'm not reaching for my "friends" anymore. If they want my friendship, they have my number and they now know what my beliefs are. I'm working on closing my mouth. I'm not driving for hours to sing in the church choir so they don't even say goodbye when mass finishes. I will try to close fb or not using it and stop pleasing people by sharing my stories and life all the time. I will pray a lot! and focus on working and keep on studying music. I'm going to be alone but I really feel I need to quiet my life down so I can hear God better. Please pray for me 🙏 if you can. I'll pray for all the people who are going through changes in their lives and it is not easy. Jesus Christ it's King!
You did the right thing! When we accept Jesus Christ and submit to Him we experience so much transformation and the veil is lifted! “These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold-though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” 1 Peter 1:7 NLT you are being purified! Your life and the things of this world aren’t for you! Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit to discern and that’s what you are doing! It’s not easy, not comfortable but it’s the best choice I ever made and I am so happy to hear you made the choice to believe despite what others think! One day they will understand when He comes back! Every knee will bow! ❤keep going He has your back 💕
Thank you for your comment. I will be praying for you. I know God is pruning you and showing you the way to His will for your life. He loves you and He has better things for you. You are His and you can hear His voice. Continue to press in. Be bless
I so agree with you. In 2016 the Lord told me: “Don't Judge, Don't Criticize, Don't Condemn, Don't Complain.” I actually thought oh no now what do I talk about? But, what I didn't know then was that this was the beginning of my transformation, my metamorphosis, my change.
Quit magnifying the wrong and instead magnify the good! I’ve learned to look at all good as God being present and sending blessings through things that bring us laughter, joy, and anything beautiful and sweet and wholesome! Constantly acknowledge these things and moments as God’s blessings!
You mean you'd rather not acknowledge you live what your fallen first father chose for you which is the fruit of the fatally toxic cocktail of good and evil, in other words, the fruit of Death?
@boogalooo You are in no position to acknowledge your wrongs unless you are willing to 'magnify' them before your otherwise myopic vision and realize just how inherently evil you are - having been born of the cursed seed of your fallen first father. This is what leads one to true repentance which is marked by the tell-tale signs of 'Godly sorrow' of a contrite heart and a broken spirit. And this is what ultimately leads one to forsake one's wrongs, one by one, as one grows increasingly closer to God by remaining in His holy Fellowship and earnestly seeking His surpassing Righteousness in everything and substituting for all of one's forsaken wrongs with the faithful obedience of them so that one is restored to His image and likeness once again and thus readied for His holy and eternal Kingdom to come.
Jennifer: I just “happened upon” this video tonight…when the Holy Spirit brought it to my attention. As a 75 yr old woman who has been a Christian since I was a child….. I have learned many of these things. However, seeing a young woman like yourself being so knowledgeable about these principles (AND sharing them so articulately) I can see for sure that “You have been with Jesus!” I believe that the way you have organized and presented this information will bless many. I loved it! God bless you.
Indeed a Blessing Jennifer, To quit these: Just what I can summarise, please do help corret me, thanks 2:12 1. Investing time on things of no value 4:02 2. Quit hanging with the wrong kind of people. 5:00 3. Stop criticizing and judging other people & ourselves. 7:40 4. "Number 5" Quit magnifying what is going wrong. 10:38 5. You need to quit overdoing. 13:31 6. "Number 7" Quit pleasing people. 19:30 - I agree, we do not have to validate our feelings all the time. we cannot trust our emotions totally as it can be manipulated. Just like in the garden where the plants are spread throughout. We thank you for guiding and sharing with us. God Bless
Worth it to watch the video in its entirety to really receive the depth and substance of the message she is sharing. Nice reference tho, that I will include in e-mailing myself the message. Aloha!
Hallelujah!!! The daily Jesus devotion has been a huge part of my transformation God is good, after years of addition to drugs and sins God chased me down as I earn $12,500 monthly. My life and family has changed, Thank you Jesus!!!..
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born again Christian and sometimes I feel so, down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
After I raised up to 125k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states * also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom..
@@hmja136Matthew 17:21 However, this kind "does not" go out "except by prayer and fasting". Christ fasted 40 days Esther fasted that her people would not be destroyed Moses fasted before he received the 10 Commandments Fasting is from God and of God for our breakthroughs. Fast people of God Jacob's trouble is about to take place. Remember if Scripture doesn't back up what is said by the greatest of them about the Bible then it is not from God.
When I turned to God in 2015. I was very into my sports train. At this point I was about to turn 55 and sport had always been a big part of my life. But I started getting feelings that God wanted me to give up my training routine. But it took me a year before I gave up training. The crazy thing is you can start to rationalise things from a very human and limited position. In my case I was thing that my training would and had kept me fit and healthy over the years. But as God says in the Bible ''is my arm too short?'' (If I remember rightly He says hand. Not arm). But basically He is asking is it outside of His capabilities. Which of course it is not. But to do as He asked me to do has blessed me many ways. I also realised, as good as it was, my training had become a god in my life and I could not see because I enjoyed serving it.
yes, I agree. what I am referring to is to speak about the sickness in an excessive way. It could be very depressing when all you talk about is your sickness.
I clicked the like button and also subscribed right after listening to this message. It touched me deeply. Caused a welling up inside . It spoke personally to me, my conscience pricked by the Holy Spirit. Also confirmation of what Jesus Christ has been showing me as I read his word . After 38 years of walking in the darkness. I am walking in the light of his word. Such a glorious light...
Jennifer sister in Christ 🙏🏻 thank you for those edifying words . One thing I Add . As A Grandma I feel like I help my kids with my grandkids a lot and stress about there problems . I need to step back and pray 🙏🏻 for them not try to solve there problems. And I need to spend more time with my husband and say no , more to my kids . I Have neglected my husband for soo many years because I’m so busy helping my kids .Sometimes my husband and I spend some time sharing about Our Lord and His Purpose . It’s So enjoyable.. 🙏🏻
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring her back
Pray ask God for deliverance of soul ties that's why your always think of her. And yes it's because you care for her. Pray need God and be in a ministry. (Beware of spiritual counsel- some are witchcraft called "new age religion ") we your Bible and spend more time in God's presence that's how your love for her will be more for God's (Jesus) presence His spirit) When you spend more time with HIM your emotions will get more in check then your relationship for Jesus will get more stronger. If that young lady is for you, God will send her back when your spirit is in the right place. Because you love her more than you love God so your flesh made her an Idol. How I know this because I felt once upon a time the way you felt and I had to be delivered from a spirit of Idolatry and soul ties( when your sexually involved with a person you are exchanging a spiritual connection) that's why God wants us married with a mate He chooses. I'm praying for you.
I gave my life to Christ earlier this year and am working on these things. Some things are easy to deal with yet some internal ticks and how I operate takes more discipline. Through the Holy Spirit I have been able to drop some habitual sins and live a life more in focus. I have one life long friend who doesn’t believe and talk to everyday but I have witnessed to him and let my life be a testimony. Praying for him.
#7 is a big one I'm working on and speaking and trying to teach or speak out. Remember though, God picks the people that ARE NOT good at anything. Moses had a stutter and didn't speak well and yet God chose him
Suffering a heart attack and subsequent bypass surgery , I had to take my thoughts captive. Every twinge had me thinking what I was going to do if I had another heart attack. What was my plan B if it happened in the middle of the night in a small town where we don't have a hospital nor an emergency doctor. This is only one example of what was going on in my mind. But God gave me a promise from Ps 118: 17. I shall not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord. I realised the enemy would plant fear and doubt in my mind. One day I made a decision that there would be no Plan B,C,D or XYZ. God was Plan A-Z and I would remind Him of His promise. When the enemy comes in like a flood, speak Jesus to the situation! Guard your heart( even if a bit wonky😁) and mind and your healing will come. I'm not completely out of the woods but in the meantime when I go for a check up, wait in a hospital queue or see the Dr it is an opportunity to encourage someone. That, in turn, energises me!
This was helpful to me. I have been months into spending an hour with the Lord. Through his word I receive revelation and guidance which I was amazed by. I thought it could only happen to other people. Holy Spirit started speaking to me about many things. But I kinda ruined it when I was looking into the Mendez brothers and the horrific abuse they suffered by their own parents from when they were little. It hurt me so much in my heart. I had a bad dream. Woke up and spend time w the Lord and he assured me all is well but that the heart is his temple. It needs to be clean. That content is not meant for me, maybe for someone else who could help, but not meant for me to consume it. He washed me clean through worship and our session. Then I open RUclips and see this video and think oh! This could help. I need to be judgmental about the things that I do to keep my life as a warm welcoming place for the Lord Jesus to dwell in. THIS VIDEO REALLS ENCOURAGES AND HELP ME so--THANK YOU!! I have subscribed. I'm so grateful to God for people like you :D
This is the most truthful, earnest teaching I have heard in a long time. You can tell she has lived this life and knows from experience. I’ve experienced all of these things and I’ve been a Christian for 60 years. Learn early!
Thanks holy spirit for popping on this video on time,this is what l need to hear God speaking to me.thank you woman of God u have taken us back on the right path ,many of us.God bless u.
Yes, I stopped reading fiction many years ago at the Holy Spirit’s prompting. Also exited a few toxic relationships. Criticism is an issue for many, God help us. Lord, keep us in your fellowship. 🙏🏻
@@belugacat9413The Lord would rather you focus on him. I read many Christian books not only the Bible. Harry Potter focuses on witchcraft which is condemned in the Word of God. God will lead us into what he wants us to remove from our lives. I know, he’s still showing me. 🫶🏻🙏🏻
Amen to you 🙏❤️❤️❤️ I am 46 and I am into this things of my life for a year now. Holy Spirit help me with this and I found peace in life. Believers and others coming back to Christ should hear these…. More videos like this will help a lot…..❤❤❤❤ Bless U🙏🙏🙏
I was frustrated with why I was so critical of myself and others. Then providentially I came across ii Peter 1:5-9. Peter gives the key to having christian qualities of character. We forget we have been cleansed and forgiven of our past sins. I haven't heard these verses used anywhere. Should be more known. Thank you for your video. It helped me to stop and think about my spiritual growth. Vaya con Dios.
My ministry began 3 years ago - Health reThink is about improving the health of our minds, with the primary purpose of drawing closer to God (and educating people how to remove the barriers that separate us). These points are absolutely critical. Thank you for sharing.
Sometimes talking about problems is therapy, and some ppl need to be gently spoken to about what they are not doing right and still pray for them and with them. I believe in listening to the Holyspirit and the spirit of discernment, thank you for all your wonderful points
You arent good enough because you are an imperfect human...you are a sinner. Your urges, desires, thoughts, best efforts all fall short of the Glory of God. You will never find relief from self-hatred in Christianity, it is the most essential part of it. It keeps you searching for answers from the very ideas that are creating the problem. I bet you are a good enough person most of the time and that is enough!❤
This was right on time. I was just this morning in prayer to the Lord about having trouble hearing His voice and the things He would have me to do. Then, this video came up on my video thread..just right on time, nail on the head. Thank you for sharing
🙏 God I ask You in Jesus’ name teach me the values of the Kingdom of God and teach me how to live in the culture of God’s Kingdom on earth. Show me Your ways. Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation. God teach me the way You want me to go. Guide me with Your eyes. Bless me with a teachable humble spirit and let me become an excellent student of Yours. God let me always listen to Your voice and receive Your instruction. Let me always walk in humility. Because the humble You teach Your ways. God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of this prayer, all those who love and care about me, and all those I love and care about. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
I agree with everything but I all paused at number four, there is a line between criticizing and rebuking. As Christian’s we need to rebuke our brothers and sisters and know that if our brothers and sisters rebuke us that we need to take that to heart and pray about it. I do feel convicted about overthinking. That one hit me hard, and you are right. Glory be to God for who He is, that He wants to help us get out of our sin by showing us where we need to change.
#1 is my greatest nemesis. Although I don't watch TV and don't have social media except RUclips, I spend way too much time on RUclips on non-essentials, instead of ministering on RUclips in the comment section (which I do alot anyways). I caught myself in distraction almost every day last week so I dropped what I was wasting time on and went directly into another room to read the Bible aloud. Giving God time in our lives isn't just a checkoff box but rather a lifestyle. Thank you for this video. It spoke deep to me, Sis.
Now i know, Holy spirit is really guiding me through this video ! I asked God that he called me but i don't hear his voice.. Thanks for Guiding me Holyspirit!❤
Thank you for the last one. He has said He is teaching me to understand His voice. He isn't trying to scare me or throw me into situations to confuse me. He's bringing me piece-by-piece to the place where I don't have to worry about hearing and listening. I don't have to worry about the outcome or the reason, just listen when called.
Stopped listening to the radio 40 years ago and now listen to USB teaching or praise music; well no problem with some people dont hang with them; the Holy Spirit told me to get rid of some of my DVDs and this is ongoing SLOWLY stopped reading junk books and now got God's books like Mary Kay Baxter's books, Merlin Carothers books on Praise and some teaching on youtube, but now trying to cut this down a bit and go straight to my Bible the wisdom book. thanks for your video the books on praise speaks about complaining but to praise before it happens is so valuable.
WOW!!!! I needed THIS CONCEPT in a huge way. Thank you and GOD .............I am THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of a Christian without a PLAN .....like a boat without a RUDDER!! Thank You Jesus for this video from this saint and HER developed presentation. ❤❤😊😊
Amen sister! I have a large collection of dystopian movies and rock music from before I was recalled to the faith and the holy spirit stripped me of my desire for watching/listening to it. The desire for it just disappeared from my life. Eliminate the distractions in your life. Put god first.
Thank you for your testimony. I am new follower of Jesus. Holly spirit guides me on what to watch and hear. Jesus teaching me to be a wife and a mother! Thank you God for loving me ❤
God was ministering to me about this the past few days and then He showed me this video ❤ thank you, very timely message. He was telling me despite being physically still, I'm constantly filling my mind with unnecessary things and never actually resting
Beautiful lady teaching and pushing us to change our basic habits and instincts from the body captivity into the spiritual freedom led by the most powerful FORCE and ENERGY of eternal life - The Holy Spirit. God bless her! Dr. JG M.D.
TY for the video. Whenever I have worry or anxiety, I confess that sin to God (bc it is not of faith) and then pray to Jesus to take it away. This works every time.
Holy Spirit told me the same. Edification, scriptures and spiritual food, or silence facilitates, + quitting evil or foolish speaking facilitates hearing God.
Yes He's led me through shedding same things, refocusing my life. And it's helped my relationships too. I'm still working through lessening some things, but 100% this video is spot on.
Amen ...quit magnifying the problem and magnify God ! What a wonderful stand to take against the enemy ...thank you Jennifer for blessing me with what you shared. I needed all of those great points .❤️
9:47 …the ________ we don’t have yet, the healing that hasn’t happened yet… instead of thinking and thanking God for what we have been delivered from- Amen!!
Praise God, this is right where I am. I love how God drives it home to me by leading me to scripture, people, videos, etc. Praise the God who cares deeply about us and every detail of our lives!!!
Amen, sister! I found that when I stopped judging myself so hard, and try to "like myself" (love is next step) - then I also stopped judging others so much and being so mean and critical
Thank you, I needed to hear this. I was waiting until you got to #7 when I realized that I needed this message. I clicked on this video because I was waiting for God to speak to me more clearly and I have eliminated a lot of the things you mentioned about quitting. But when you got to #7 I didn’t know that overthinking and doubt is reasoning. I also learned last year that doubt is pride. I know what the Lord has been telling me but it doesn’t sound like Him because my flesh is speaking louder. Thank you for your obedience!!
The best thing i guit as a Christian is going to the institutional church. We now have four couples that we meet in our homes. Pray for any needs among us give a praise testimony read and study the word. And share in the lords supper with a meal together. Its much more intimate when everyone participates rather than listen to one man up front give a sermon on things we have heard before and already know. You grow more and learn more when you gather with a few like minded believers.
That is exactly why I love being part of a small group from my church. There is where real fellowship and community happens. That is the right environment for believers to grow.
One thing to consider is God gave us two religions, Judaism and Catholicism. The first century Church met on the first day of the week to break bread. Its not for simply bread but His actual Body and Blood. Only at church can you receive this. Its with a valid priesthood that was instituted by Christ with the handing over the keys to Peter.Keys are a symbol of authority. So Jesus gave His authority to His apostles who have carried it on through the millennia. That practice still exists today.
This is so clear and well explained, thank you! I am currently struggling with the tendency to judge people all the time... The thing is I think I have the "gift of discernment", I can see every little good and bad parts in people, and I very easily detect subtle hypocrisy. So that is hard not to get frustrated and to concentrate on the good sides of them. But I know I have to work on it. 🙏
Amen 🙏🏼 We should not criticize our pastors or church/ministry leaders. If I'm not willing to do the job myself, I should not criticize any leader in authority over me. Praise always brings better results than negative reinforcement!!! Thank you for pointing out that we shouldn't overcriticize ourselves ❤️
@@shanamorgan3 holy spirit told me a solution. Whenever over thinking comes just block from the starting point and ask lord for help. He will fill with the correct word of God. Also learn bible every day deeply and slowly 🥰
Thank you for sharing! One thing I would like to comment on is point #3. If a believer does notice a sibling in the faith, whether in leadership or not, being wrong/steering away from sound doctrine, then we are called to correct each other in love. At the very minimum, we are to express our concerns. While this can be difficult if we struggle with being too critical/judgmental, we are to exercise discernment and speak up when something is off/wrong. Iron sharpens iron 🙌🏼
I definitely agree on the stopping the criticism/ gossip. Saw so much of it go on when I attended the Holy Ghost Churches. Another thing that really needs to be proclaimed to many of today's Churches, is much of the people there need to quit looking down their noses at people in their groups who thej think are "less" than them for whatever reason, or different..... Sadly, I saw many people shunned at Church because they had some sort of developmental disability. I also saw peope treated like 2nd class because they didn't have a career or own their own place or kept up with the Jones's. Very sad indeed......
Thank you so much for this timely reminder, about the value of GOD’S gift of life. He knows our shortcomings and has it in him to forgive them as we repent of them. He wants us to receive his gifts and go out and enjoy life, as he gets the glory from our JOY in his gifts!
I think God brought me to this video. He has been teaching all the 7 things you shared here.. I have no problem at all at the last 6 things.. I almost took them out of my life.. but sadly entertainment is my weakness. The more space I make by removing those 6 things.. the more space I have for entertainment. This is the spiritual battle of me today... what our life is filled with. Your video strongly reminds me of that. Thanks a lot.
Amen... I am a new subscriber...I only saw you on utube about 45mins ago for the first time Your 7 points spot on... I too had to work on the 7 points that you just mentioned ....I found that the more you spend time with Jesus the more closer He draws to you and the more closer you are with Jesus the more hungry you get to spend time with Him and with that you loose interest in the worldly things and it is easier to control what the flesh wants ...Amen God bless Lilian South Africa 🇿🇦 ♥
yes, you are 100% correct. the more time you spend with Jesus, the closer you grow to your Heavenly Father. and yes, the more hunger you have for Him. Thanks for your comment. God bless you!

Thank you! I read and reflected on your list and then watched it. She had her own testimony to add in the message😊💙
Worth it to watch the video in its entirety to really receive the depth and substance of the message she is sharing. Nice reference tho. Aloha!
THANK YOU.
Thank you so very much for this! I was able to make notes without having to work my way through video a second time.
I realized this in 2020.
I unplugged the TV
I quit politics

I quit listening to secular music
I eliminated contact with neg ppl
I eliminated processed foods
I started fasting
I listen to sermons & take notes
I listen to old hymns

Agree 💯
When you say that you eliminated contact with negative people, did you let them know or just started to ignore them in general without them knowing?
Amen amen 🙏🏽
That's a great question! I recently got back from a retreat & the Lord spoke to me about certain "friends". I knew i had to cut ties with them. I was unsure as to how to go about it.. with one person, i did end up leaving a vm saying that we are on 2 separate spiritual paths & I pray she makes the right decisions in life...she responded w/ anger...some people will not understand...ask the Lord to lead you so that you are guilt free..t@sararivera2396

@@yodhzenThis is not about religion but connecting with the person of Jesus Christ.

Do you read His book??
If anyone could pray for me that'd be cool. I'm the one who walks out of Church after it's over right away because of social anxiety. I don't feel I'm good enough for a bible study either. I Pray every day to be less selfish and have the strength to obey God. Any prayers would help. Thank you!
praying for you. at about 20:30 she talks about not criticizing ourselves. take control of your tongue against yourself. don't speak out anxiety or your not good enough or your selfish or you don't have strength to obey God. start speaking out the truths of the Word of God. we cannot truly become like Jesus and be empowered to enforce the kingdom of God on earth unless we embrace the new identity that we have in Christ. We have been created anew, and are empowered against the devices of the enemy and we have authority to destroy the enemy's works here on earth. That changes everything. Being born again is only the first part of our new creation. Our mind has to be fully renewed to the truth of what Jesus says about us, and who He is in us. If that doesn't take place, our mind and body will not be operating in the new identity of Christ in us. We're no longer our own. It's Jesus in us that conquers evil around us. It's only when we allow the Word to fully renew our mind so that our body is in subjection and in obedience to the Word, that Jesus can empower us so that we can be full-on ambassadors of the kingdom of God here on Earth. Then and only then our new identity can be noticed by others because we're letting the Lord continue to be here amongst men, bringing his kingdom on earth and destroying the works of the devil. Col 3:1-3, 1Pet2:9, Gen 1:27, 1jn3:1,2a, Gal 3:27,28 Col 2:9,10 Eph 1:5
Of course you are good enough for Bible study! It will help you grow as a Christian and also help you to overcome your anxiety. Reach out to a local church and explain your situation. They will be so happy to accommodate you.
❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
Father God I thank you for this soul. Thank you that prayer does change things. I thank you that you are God and you love mman12. You are concerned with what concerns mman12. I thank you that mman12 acknowledges their concerns and You are able to help them with everything that concerns them. I thank you for the victory in mman12’s life. I pray that they will not recognize themselves in the days, weeks, and months to come. I pray the confidence in who they are in YOU GOD will cause them to stand tall pull their shoulders back and head up and walk into any room You have called them to, having faith that Holy Spirit is with them to help. Jesus said the job of Holy Spirit coming is to comfort, to help us, to teach us. I pray that as you do the practical things my sister talked about in this video and you spend time getting to know God more and trusting Him By FAITH, you will begin to move more confidently in who you were made to be, free from ALL that are not like Christ in Jesus name.
mman12, I am excited for the testimony of victory you will be able to shared with others in Jesus name. 🙏🏾 God bless you
Last year I had the same problem, when church was over I would hurry up and run out the church because I was socially awkward. BUT, what I did I ask GOD to please help me to overcome. I then notice that I would be alot calmer when church service was over. Just GOD to help you and HE WILL.
One of the things that was so beneficial to me, I quit all social media. And I don't carry my phone with me 24/7
AMENN I JUST TOOK THE FIRST STEP 🎉
I took a break from X and I began to hear God so much. I feel myself pulling away from my phone.
ditto. no social media this year
I had a strange spiritual experience where I threw my phone in the garbage 2 years ago at work, and felt something in my chest , had an ekg and was shaking with electrical feelings all over my body. Couldn't sleep for a week.
@@rickspalding3047Can you explain more please
I found that if I wear earplugs when I’m reading my Bible to block out noise from the outside world and just 100% focus on the word, that I take in the information so much more stronger and I let myself get lost in the word and before I know it almost 2 hours have passed and I feel so fulfilled by the end of my study.
This is so rich.
I had to quit my job because it was becoming so toxic that I was slipping from myself and God.
Please pray for me as I try to reconnect with God and myself. I really want to live for Him.
Amen...
Seriously. This has been weighing on me lately. I am praying that God himself closes the door on my job for me. I want to find a way that I can make a living serving Him and not being tied up with the "rat-race" all the time pleasing myself and others with things that simply DO NOT matter in the grand scheme of this very short time we have on this planet.
Find time to walk by a park or lake
Scripture reading before or after exercise helps the Holy spirit bring you answers.
It is very beautiful.
Having pastored churches for 40 years I can attest to the fact that carefully attending the 7 things listed here will do more to help Christans live victoriously than most can ever imagine.
Thanks
What denomination are you, if you don't mind my asking?
Plus… be a part of a healthy local church! 👍
@@Fangmarks82who cares...?...
@@RUAChristian ... by helping it stay healthy and uncompromised. Zero guarantee otherwise. Forgive me, please, if you even must. I simply wanted to add the last part of what I felt you mean by "being" part of a healthy church. Hark! There are insincere yet "friendly" churches with hidden behaviors you'll never know, hear or learn about. The compromised don't ever tell on each other unless they're either caught or have to. Maybe I know too much, is also what I'm saying. I'm not just wagging my fingers around on a keyboard to stir enough breeze for dusting purposes. Entering church buildings scare me, but for good reasons; I wish it wasn't like that for me though.
Here is what I have been doing lately: I watch Christian movies, listen to sermons by Dr. Charles Stanley (highly recommended!), listen to gospel music, pray on my knees more regularly, start my day with the Word of God, follow my devotional, guard and manage my thought-life/emotions more effectively (that`s where Satan attacks believers), maintain an attitude of gratefulness (getting God`s peace and joy in return) and just stay close to Him throughout my day by talking to Him. As a result, I do hear His voice more often, and He reveals Himself in other unique ways as well. Ask the Holy Spirit to make you sensitive and aware of His revelations. He will do it! Love from South Africa
Yes! Yes! And Yes! Thanks for sharing.
@@JenniferBetancourtLove Dr Charles Stanley. And you are on point!
I love love Dr C Stanley, I'm also in South Africa ❤🎉
Yes. Dr Stanley was an amazing teacher. We sure miss Him. But He is definitely in a better place.
Awesome!
You hit the nail on the head. God has led me in the same areas you described. Minimal to no news, no TV at all, minimal secular music, no toxic relationships, very good boundaries, lost some people, listen to Bible daily, listen to good books/podcasts by mature Christians-NOT because I’m better but rather because I CANT HANDLE IT!
My eye and ear gates are very sensitive.
Oh the quiet mind and peace I’ve found by talking to God all day about everything- my anger, irritation, my fears, despair, any conflict with other people, and concern for future. And the result has been a quiet mind about 80% of the time.
Thank you for sharing! 20:09
Yes. It is amazing when we learn to live this way and continue to grow in the likeness of Jesus our savior. Thank you for sharing.
Continue this path. Continue seeking His Face. He is so worthy. Praise God!
Yes. My friends of yesterday are near and dear to my heart for 30 years or more, but I am now a conservative Christian and I pray to God for new friends. I also love listening to Girls Gone Bible. ❤
About 10 years ago, at a crossroads in my early faith, I got into the shower and for some reason didn't bring any distractions like music or talk radio. That "quiet" shower changed my life for the good. The Holy Spirit did a miracle for my attitude during that shower. 10 years later, I still take non- distracted showers.
Wow, yes! Very well said!!! 😊
You hit a nail too
I resonate so much with this because...
I converted to Christianity in February 2024. My bf just broke up with me 2 weeks ago... He left me when I needed him the most...I seeked for "my friends" to help me and hear me and...bum! I realised they are not friends at all! ... And I always looked for them first. I just had a dancing presentation yesterday with a dancing group that is "dark" (veeery talented and artistic but dark); I was there for 6 years. I also have a "big mouth", I talked bad about my ex and his family and the bad things he used to do. I studied sacred music and I've been in a church choir for like 3 years but it is far from where I live, I spend aloooot of time going there, singing in mass and coming back and they are not very friendly or talkative either.
So... I'm just tired, I feel my life is changing...God is changing it.I've made a lot of mistakes, and didn't choose my friends and bf correctly, etc. So...
I'm quitting my dancing lessons and spending too much time and money on it.
I'm not reaching for my "friends" anymore. If they want my friendship, they have my number and they now know what my beliefs are.
I'm working on closing my mouth.
I'm not driving for hours to sing in the church choir so they don't even say goodbye when mass finishes.
I will try to close fb or not using it and stop pleasing people by sharing my stories and life all the time.
I will pray a lot! and focus on working and keep on studying music. I'm going to be alone but I really feel I need to quiet my life down so I can hear God better.
Please pray for me 🙏 if you can. I'll pray for all the people who are going through changes in their lives and it is not easy.
Jesus Christ it's King!
You did the right thing! When we accept Jesus Christ and submit to Him we experience so much transformation and the veil is lifted! “These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold-though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”
1 Peter 1:7 NLT you are being purified! Your life and the things of this world aren’t for you! Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit to discern and that’s what you are doing! It’s not easy, not comfortable but it’s the best choice I ever made and I am so happy to hear you made the choice to believe despite what others think! One day they will understand when He comes back! Every knee will bow! ❤keep going He has your back 💕
Thank you for your comment. I will be praying for you. I know God is pruning you and showing you the way to His will for your life. He loves you and He has better things for you. You are His and you can hear His voice. Continue to press in.
Be bless

@@Jesusistheway-o2t thank you 🙏
I so agree with you. In 2016 the Lord told me: “Don't Judge, Don't Criticize, Don't Condemn, Don't Complain.” I actually thought oh no now what do I talk about? But, what I didn't know then was that this was the beginning of my transformation, my metamorphosis, my change.
Quit magnifying the wrong and instead magnify the good! I’ve learned to look at all good as God being present and sending blessings through things that bring us laughter, joy, and anything beautiful and sweet and wholesome! Constantly acknowledge these things and moments as God’s blessings!
You shouldn't ignore the wrong.
You mean you'd rather not acknowledge you live what your fallen first father chose for you which is the fruit of the fatally toxic cocktail of good and evil, in other words, the fruit of Death?
@@ninaballerina2807 magnifying and dwelling are different definitions than acknowledging. They’re not even synonyms.
@boogalooo You are in no position to acknowledge your wrongs unless you are willing to 'magnify' them before your otherwise myopic vision and realize just how inherently evil you are - having been born of the cursed seed of your fallen first father. This is what leads one to true repentance which is marked by the tell-tale signs of 'Godly sorrow' of a contrite heart and a broken spirit. And this is what ultimately leads one to forsake one's wrongs, one by one, as one grows increasingly closer to God by remaining in His holy Fellowship and earnestly seeking His surpassing Righteousness in everything and substituting for all of one's forsaken wrongs with the faithful obedience of them so that one is restored to His image and likeness once again and thus readied for His holy and eternal Kingdom to come.
What if it all mostly bad?
Jennifer: I just “happened upon” this video tonight…when the Holy Spirit brought it to my attention. As a 75 yr old woman who has been a Christian since I was a child….. I have learned many of these things. However, seeing a young woman like yourself being so knowledgeable about these principles (AND sharing them so articulately) I can see for sure that “You have been with Jesus!” I believe that the way you have organized and presented this information will bless many. I loved it! God bless you.
0:45 seconds in and I'm so glad you popped up in my algorithm. God is good. He is my shepherd and knows what I need.
Indeed a Blessing Jennifer,
To quit these: Just what I can summarise, please do help corret me, thanks
2:12 1. Investing time on things of no value
4:02 2. Quit hanging with the wrong kind of people.
5:00 3. Stop criticizing and judging other people & ourselves.
7:40 4. "Number 5" Quit magnifying what is going wrong.
10:38 5. You need to quit overdoing.
13:31 6. "Number 7" Quit pleasing people.
19:30 - I agree, we do not have to validate our feelings all the time. we cannot trust our emotions totally as it can be manipulated.
Just like in the garden where the plants are spread throughout. We thank you for guiding and sharing with us. God Bless
Thank you so much!!

Over the last year +/- the Lord has been removing people from my life. It's been amazing.
same here. Some of the removals hurt; but I know His ways are higher than mine.
Hallelujah!!! The daily Jesus devotion has been a huge part of my transformation God is good, after years of addition to drugs and sins God chased me down as I earn $12,500 monthly.
My life and family has changed, Thank you Jesus!!!..

Wow 😮 I know this woman mentioned here. she's really good with and on his job. She has helped a couple of families and individuals' finances

Fasting works for me. I can hear God when I fast.
@@hmja136Matthew 17:21 However, this kind "does not" go out "except by prayer and fasting". Christ fasted 40 days

Fast people of God Jacob's trouble is about to take place.
Remember if Scripture doesn't back up what is said by the greatest of them about the Bible then it is not from God.
Yes!!! agree 100% it also works for me.
And some Bibles don't even have Matthew 17:21
@@Barbee-LiveNow I didn't know this.
I never do, even after fasting.
When I turned to God in 2015. I was very into my sports train. At this point I was about to turn 55 and sport had always been a big part of my life. But I started getting feelings that God wanted me to give up my training routine. But it took me a year before I gave up training. The crazy thing is you can start to rationalise things from a very human and limited position. In my case I was thing that my training would and had kept me fit and healthy over the years. But as God says in the Bible ''is my arm too short?'' (If I remember rightly He says hand. Not arm). But basically He is asking is it outside of His capabilities. Which of course it is not. But to do as He asked me to do has blessed me many ways. I also realised, as good as it was, my training had become a god in my life and I could not see because I enjoyed serving it.
Yes, my husband too.
yes, I agree. what I am referring to is to speak about the sickness in an excessive way. It could be very depressing when all you talk about is your sickness.
I clicked the like button and also subscribed right after listening to this message. It touched me deeply. Caused a welling up inside . It spoke personally to me, my conscience pricked by the Holy Spirit. Also confirmation of what Jesus Christ has been showing me as I read his word . After 38 years of walking in the darkness. I am walking in the light of his word. Such a glorious light...
So happy to hear that this video blessed you! I pray you continue to grow closer to God

Me to. I used to have so many but they have left for various reasons. Death,changing churches, and toxic friend of 46 years
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring her back
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?
Her name is Shelly renee white , and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
Pray ask God for deliverance of soul ties that's why your always think of her. And yes it's because you care for her. Pray need God and be in a ministry. (Beware of spiritual counsel- some are witchcraft called "new age religion ") we your Bible and spend more time in God's presence that's how your love for her will be more for God's (Jesus) presence His spirit) When you spend more time with HIM your emotions will get more in check then your relationship for Jesus will get more stronger.
If that young lady is for you, God will send her back when your spirit is in the right place. Because you love her more than you love God so your flesh made her an Idol. How I know this because I felt once upon a time the way you felt and I had to be delivered from a spirit of Idolatry and soul ties( when your sexually involved with a person you are exchanging a spiritual connection) that's why God wants us married with a mate He chooses. I'm praying for you.
I been TV free for 10 years! Best thing I ever done, its all distractions..
Do you hear from the Lord? 🤔
I gave my life to Christ earlier this year and am working on these things. Some things are easy to deal with yet some internal ticks and how I operate takes more discipline. Through the Holy Spirit I have been able to drop some habitual sins and live a life more in focus. I have one life long friend who doesn’t believe and talk to everyday but I have witnessed to him and let my life be a testimony. Praying for him.
I don’t trust my own heart flesh and thoughts so I always pray that God guides me in all those areas to keep me close to Him.
The Holy Spirit telling a lot of women the same things..amen. Thank you
I started doing these things. Holy Spirit keeping speaking. Amen
And men also❤
#7 is a big one I'm working on and speaking and trying to teach or speak out. Remember though, God picks the people that ARE NOT good at anything. Moses had a stutter and didn't speak well and yet God chose him
Yes, you are right. God can use anybody…thank you for your comment.
Be bless
I am been a Christian for many years, and I always wanted to hear from God it has not yet happened it is very discouraging and stressful.
This is EXACTLY the season I am walking into. Drawing closer to the Lord. Intentionally slowing down and being in the Lord.
Same.
I fasted 7 days and the voice came out more
Suffering a heart attack and subsequent bypass surgery , I had to take my thoughts captive. Every twinge had me thinking what I was going to do if I had another heart attack. What was my plan B if it happened in the middle of the night in a small town where we don't have a hospital nor an emergency doctor.
This is only one example of what was going on in my mind.
But God gave me a promise from Ps 118: 17. I shall not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord.
I realised the enemy would plant fear and doubt in my mind. One day I made a decision that there would be no Plan B,C,D or XYZ. God was Plan A-Z and I would remind Him of His promise.
When the enemy comes in like a flood, speak Jesus to the situation! Guard your heart( even if a bit wonky😁) and mind and your healing will come. I'm not completely out of the woods but in the meantime when I go for a check up, wait in a hospital queue or see the Dr it is an opportunity to encourage someone. That, in turn, energises me!
This was helpful to me. I have been months into spending an hour with the Lord. Through his word I receive revelation and guidance which I was amazed by. I thought it could only happen to other people. Holy Spirit started speaking to me about many things. But I kinda ruined it when I was looking into the Mendez brothers and the horrific abuse they suffered by their own parents from when they were little. It hurt me so much in my heart. I had a bad dream. Woke up and spend time w the Lord and he assured me all is well but that the heart is his temple. It needs to be clean. That content is not meant for me, maybe for someone else who could help, but not meant for me to consume it. He washed me clean through worship and our session. Then I open RUclips and see this video and think oh! This could help. I need to be judgmental about the things that I do to keep my life as a warm welcoming place for the Lord Jesus to dwell in. THIS VIDEO REALLS ENCOURAGES AND HELP ME so--THANK YOU!! I have subscribed. I'm so grateful to God for people like you :D
so happy this video blessed you!
I can’t handle watching stuff like that either.
This is the most truthful, earnest teaching I have heard in a long time. You can tell she has lived this life and knows from experience. I’ve experienced all of these things and I’ve been a Christian for 60 years. Learn early!
Thanks holy spirit for popping on this video on time,this is what l need to hear God speaking to me.thank you woman of God u have taken us back on the right path ,many of us.God bless u.
Yes, I stopped reading fiction many years ago at the Holy Spirit’s prompting.
Also exited a few toxic relationships. Criticism is an issue for many, God help us. Lord, keep us in your fellowship. 🙏🏻
So is it bad to enjoy things like Harry Potter?
@@belugacat9413The Lord would rather you focus on him. I read many Christian books not only the Bible. Harry Potter focuses on witchcraft which is condemned in the Word of God. God will lead us into what he wants us to remove from our lives. I know, he’s still showing me. 🫶🏻🙏🏻
Amen to you 🙏❤️❤️❤️ I am 46 and I am into this things of my life for a year now. Holy Spirit help me with this and I found peace in life. Believers and others coming back to Christ should hear these…. More videos like this will help a lot…..❤❤❤❤ Bless U🙏🙏🙏
I was frustrated with why I was so critical of myself and others. Then providentially I came across ii Peter 1:5-9. Peter gives the key to having christian qualities of character. We forget we have been cleansed and forgiven of our past sins. I haven't heard these verses used anywhere. Should be more known. Thank you for your video. It helped me to stop and think about my spiritual growth. Vaya con Dios.
The Lord is near. He is helping me sanctify as well. I have wasted so much time. I thought if Heaven is eternal, what must be there?
Thank you so much for this. There are a few things here that I really needed to hear.
My ministry began 3 years ago - Health reThink is about improving the health of our minds, with the primary purpose of drawing closer to God (and educating people how to remove the barriers that separate us). These points are absolutely critical.
Thank you for sharing.
Sometimes talking about problems is therapy, and some ppl need to be gently spoken to about what they are not doing right and still pray for them and with them. I believe in listening to the Holyspirit and the spirit of discernment, thank you for all your wonderful points
But when it's all you ever want to do then it becomes a problem
The message about judgement of others and self is so important and not heard enough
Things already know…But needed to remember. Thank you, Jennifer
I have no friends. NO chill what-so-ever. Thank Jen. This video really helped me. You are a blessing.
I criticize myself a lot. I need the Holy Spirit’s help to help me with this.
You arent good enough because you are an imperfect human...you are a sinner. Your urges, desires, thoughts, best efforts all fall short of the Glory of God. You will never find relief from self-hatred in Christianity, it is the most essential part of it. It keeps you searching for answers from the very ideas that are creating the problem. I bet you are a good enough person most of the time and that is enough!❤
Criticism opens doors to curses on yourself,don't put yourself down. Ask lord God to help you.

Awareness is key to recognizing those habits ❤
This was right on time. I was just this morning in prayer to the Lord about having trouble hearing His voice and the things He would have me to do. Then, this video came up on my video thread..just right on time, nail on the head. Thank you for sharing
It is a great share. I am 61 but I am heartened by these pointers. Holy Spirit accurate.
🙏 God I ask You in Jesus’ name teach me the values of the Kingdom of God and teach me how to live in the culture of God’s Kingdom on earth. Show me Your ways. Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation. God teach me the way You want me to go. Guide me with Your eyes. Bless me with a teachable humble spirit and let me become an excellent student of Yours. God let me always listen to Your voice and receive Your instruction. Let me always walk in humility. Because the humble You teach Your ways. God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of this prayer, all those who love and care about me, and all those I love and care about. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

I agree with everything but I all paused at number four, there is a line between criticizing and rebuking. As Christian’s we need to rebuke our brothers and sisters and know that if our brothers and sisters rebuke us that we need to take that to heart and pray about it.
I do feel convicted about overthinking. That one hit me hard, and you are right. Glory be to God for who He is, that He wants to help us get out of our sin by showing us where we need to change.
He commands us to love one another. The greatest of these is love… I’d pause on rebuking - leave to god
@ where does it say in the Bible we are not to rebuke our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Rebuking is love. Coddling leads to damnation.
#1 is my greatest nemesis. Although I don't watch TV and don't have social media except RUclips, I spend way too much time on RUclips on non-essentials, instead of ministering on RUclips in the comment section (which I do alot anyways). I caught myself in distraction almost every day last week so I dropped what I was wasting time on and went directly into another room to read the Bible aloud. Giving God time in our lives isn't just a checkoff box but rather a lifestyle. Thank you for this video. It spoke deep to me, Sis.
Now i know, Holy spirit is really guiding me through this video ! I asked God that he called me but i don't hear his voice.. Thanks for Guiding me Holyspirit!❤
Thank you for the last one. He has said He is teaching me to understand His voice.
He isn't trying to scare me or throw me into situations to confuse me. He's bringing me piece-by-piece to the place where I don't have to worry about hearing and listening. I don't have to worry about the outcome or the reason, just listen when called.
You have blessed me by this presentation. God bless you richly in Jesus name
Stopped listening to the radio 40 years ago and now listen to USB teaching or praise music; well no problem with some people dont hang with them; the Holy Spirit told me to get rid of some of my DVDs and this is ongoing SLOWLY stopped reading junk books and now got God's books like Mary Kay Baxter's books, Merlin Carothers books on Praise and some teaching on youtube, but now trying to cut this down a bit and go straight to my Bible the wisdom book. thanks for your video the books on praise speaks about complaining but to praise before it happens is so valuable.
WOW!!!! I needed THIS CONCEPT in a huge way. Thank you and GOD .............I am THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of a Christian without a PLAN .....like a boat without a RUDDER!! Thank You Jesus for this video from this saint and HER developed presentation. ❤❤😊😊
Absolutely amazing words! God bless you Sister!!!!
New here and so need this on my journey as a born again Christian ❤❤❤
So glad you are here. ❤️🙌🏻 so happy this video was a blessing to you.
Amen sister!
I have a large collection of dystopian movies and rock music from before I was recalled to the faith and the holy spirit
stripped me of my desire for watching/listening to it. The desire for it just disappeared from my life.
Eliminate the distractions in your life. Put god first.
Thank you for your testimony. I am new follower of Jesus. Holly spirit guides me on what to watch and hear. Jesus teaching me to be a wife and a mother! Thank you God for loving me ❤
yes, the Holy Spirit is our best teacher. He had really guide me to be the wife and the mother that I need to be. so glad this video helped you
What you say at 14:30 is absolutely beautiful. People haven't done anything for us like God has!
Thank you! Overthinking is my problem, self doubt
God was ministering to me about this the past few days and then He showed me this video ❤ thank you, very timely message. He was telling me despite being physically still, I'm constantly filling my mind with unnecessary things and never actually resting
YES!
so happy this video blessed you!
I began a simple thinking of Jesus, asked questions, and got my mind overwhelmed. He definitely wants to talk to us all.
We must examine ourselves on a regular basis.
Spot on. Whatever we pay attention to is what we hear
Beautiful lady teaching and pushing us to change our basic habits and instincts from the body captivity into the spiritual freedom led by the most powerful FORCE and ENERGY of eternal life - The Holy Spirit. God bless her! Dr. JG M.D.
TY for the video. Whenever I have worry or anxiety, I confess that sin to God (bc it is not of faith) and then pray to Jesus to take it away. This works every time.
Thank you for sharing🙏 This was shoving me things i am not good at, controlling my emotions may be the hardest for me. God bless you🙏🙂
Holy Spirit told me the same. Edification, scriptures and spiritual food, or silence facilitates, + quitting evil or foolish speaking facilitates hearing God.
I’m only 50 seconds in and out loud I’m like “AMEN SISTER!” ❤
Yes He's led me through shedding same things, refocusing my life. And it's helped my relationships too. I'm still working through lessening some things, but 100% this video is spot on.
Amen ...quit magnifying the problem and magnify God ! What a wonderful stand to take against the enemy ...thank you Jennifer for blessing me with what you shared. I needed all of those great points .❤️
9:47 …the ________ we don’t have yet, the healing that hasn’t happened yet… instead of thinking and thanking God for what we have been delivered from- Amen!!
Praise God, this is right where I am. I love how God drives it home to me by leading me to scripture, people, videos, etc. Praise the God who cares deeply about us and every detail of our lives!!!
I have been struggling growing closer to God. Everything you discussed is what's been causing problems with me. Thank you
Amen, sister! I found that when I stopped judging myself so hard, and try to "like myself" (love is next step) - then I also stopped judging others so much and being so mean and critical
mmmm! thank you xx
Thank you, I needed to hear this. I was waiting until you got to #7 when I realized that I needed this message. I clicked on this video because I was waiting for God to speak to me more clearly and I have eliminated a lot of the things you mentioned about quitting. But when you got to #7 I didn’t know that overthinking and doubt is reasoning. I also learned last year that doubt is pride. I know what the Lord has been telling me but it doesn’t sound like Him because my flesh is speaking louder. Thank you for your obedience!!
Thank you so much! This video was just for me. Praise God for leading me here.
praise God! so happy this video blessed you!🙌🏻
Hi Jennifer, happy to watch you and yes all that you say makes sense!!
May the Lord take you places with your Spirit-filled ministry.
Thank you ❤
amen! thank you for your comment
The best thing i guit as a Christian is going to the institutional church. We now have four couples that we meet in our homes. Pray for any needs among us give a praise testimony read and study the word. And share in the lords supper with a meal together. Its much more intimate when everyone participates rather than listen to one man up front give a sermon on things we have heard before and already know. You grow more and learn more when you gather with a few like minded believers.
That is exactly why I love being part of a small group from my church. There is where real fellowship and community happens. That is the right environment for believers to grow.
I long for that
One thing to consider is God gave us two religions, Judaism and Catholicism. The first century Church met on the first day of the week to break bread. Its not for simply bread but His actual Body and Blood. Only at church can you receive this. Its with a valid priesthood that was instituted by Christ with the handing over the keys to Peter.Keys are a symbol of authority. So Jesus gave His authority to His apostles who have carried it on through the millennia. That practice still exists today.
@@TheonewhomJesusloves895Judaism is not Torah. The Father gave the Torah, not Judaism, not Christianity.
With a valid priesthood 😝 and ONLY in church . It’s so sad to hear this . Putting Gods grace in a box
"Be Still n Know that I am God...
This is so clear and well explained, thank you! I am currently struggling with the tendency to judge people all the time... The thing is I think I have the "gift of discernment", I can see every little good and bad parts in people, and I very easily detect subtle hypocrisy. So that is hard not to get frustrated and to concentrate on the good sides of them. But I know I have to work on it. 🙏
I completely understand. The same thing happened to me. Praying for wisdom as you continue to grow into the likeness of Jesus.
@@JenniferBetancourt Oh, thank you for your answer 🥰
Amen 🙏🏼 We should not criticize our pastors or church/ministry leaders. If I'm not willing to do the job myself, I should not criticize any leader in authority over me. Praise always brings better results than negative reinforcement!!! Thank you for pointing out that we shouldn't overcriticize ourselves ❤️
Pray for me to avoid over thinking 🙏
I have this problem also
@@shanamorgan3 holy spirit told me a solution. Whenever over thinking comes just block from the starting point and ask lord for help. He will fill with the correct word of God. Also learn bible every day deeply and slowly 🥰
❤
Oh my goodness....It's no coincidence that I came across this video right now. Blessings to you Jennifer in all what you do and share.
Thank you for sharing! One thing I would like to comment on is point #3. If a believer does notice a sibling in the faith, whether in leadership or not, being wrong/steering away from sound doctrine, then we are called to correct each other in love. At the very minimum, we are to express our concerns. While this can be difficult if we struggle with being too critical/judgmental, we are to exercise discernment and speak up when something is off/wrong. Iron sharpens iron 🙌🏼
I definitely agree on the stopping the criticism/ gossip. Saw so much of it go on when I attended the Holy Ghost Churches.
Another thing that really needs to be proclaimed to many of today's Churches, is much of the people there need to quit looking down their noses at people in their groups who thej think are "less" than them for whatever reason, or different.....
Sadly, I saw many people shunned at Church because they had some sort of developmental disability. I also saw peope treated like 2nd class because they didn't have a career or own their own place or kept up with the Jones's.
Very sad indeed......
Thank you so much for this timely reminder, about the value of GOD’S gift of life. He knows our shortcomings and has it in him to forgive them as we repent of them.
He wants us to receive his gifts and go out and enjoy life, as he gets the glory from our JOY in his gifts!
This content provided valuable clarity!
So blessed by this share. I know Holy Spirit led me here. This one hits home !!
Just in time😂👍 Thanking God for this video🙏 God bless you in Jesus name. Thank you Sister🙏
I think God brought me to this video. He has been teaching all the 7 things you shared here.. I have no problem at all at the last 6 things.. I almost took them out of my life.. but sadly entertainment is my weakness. The more space I make by removing those 6 things.. the more space I have for entertainment. This is the spiritual battle of me today... what our life is filled with. Your video strongly reminds me of that. Thanks a lot.
Thank God for leading me to your video! Praise God for all His goodness and mercy! Godbless you!
With love and prayer... what happens in church, stays in church
Amen...
I am a new subscriber...I only saw you on utube about 45mins ago for the first time
Your 7 points spot on... I too had to work on the 7 points that you just mentioned ....I found that the more you spend time with Jesus the more closer He draws to you and the more closer you are with Jesus the more hungry you get to spend time with Him and with that you loose interest in the worldly things and it is easier to control what the flesh wants ...Amen
God bless

yes, you are 100% correct. the more time you spend with Jesus, the closer you grow to your Heavenly Father. and yes, the more hunger you have for Him.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you!
@@JenniferBetancourt Thank you and God bless you in abundance...Happy that i can follow your vlogs ❤👐
