    Last night I finished 2 Samuel and there is a line where David says, "I don't want to burn an offering to God that cost me nothing." and it clicked that we MUST sacrifice/pay in order to praise God. Not because it's tick for tac but because we love Him so much that we don't want to give Him the worthless. Our time is one of our most precious things and spending time with God (and not on our flesh) is one of the highest costs we can pay to praise HIM!

    I have been in a place of idolizing marriage. I wanted it so badly that all I prayed about was that. I idolized Gods promises. I began to feel overwhelmed, impatient, and empty. I haven't been opening my Bible as much. I've been stagnant attempting to go on a vacation to stop the feeling of boredom and emptiness. I was chasing my idols. I hate to admit marriage is an idol. Although it's beautiful, and I think of Hannah with her petitions. But God timing is his timing. And I admit I've been so upset because it's not happening in my timing. I lost sight of the beautiful gift of evangelism he gave me.
    It's time to get back to the Fathers heart. And humble myself. I'm guilty with being on my phone before even praying or opening my Bible.

      Hey sister in Christ. I've been having the same problems as well. And my heart goes out to you and people who are also struggling with this. I've been idolizing marriage but I'm a guy so I'm looking for a wife. I've gotten in to a mindset that no matter where I went I would l see a woman and wonder is she my wife? I began to get anxious wondering if it would ever happen. Especailly since we're not promised a spouse. I would get jealous of people especially good looking people who would have no problems getting married. It brought me joy when reading about Hannahs strong desire for a son and that's what caught me when reading your comment. Hannah wanted it desperately but she wasn't called an idol. It made me wonder but since so many Christians are saying it is, I guess it is. Talking to people who are going through this is really helping me. Even more than the people who are delivered from it and telling me to stop making an idol out of marriage. I've been hearing it so much that I've been asking God to take it away from me. And I'm ashamed to say it but I was actually angry with God because of it. Why would God give me this strong desire and withhold the only thing I'm able to express it away from me. I thought I was doing something wrong and I beat my self up because I thought I was too much of a sinner and wasnt' perfect enough to get a spouse. Its like the whole point of having sexual desires is so you can practice self control. I really hurt my heart thinking this and I hope it to not be the case. As I'm typing this my desire hasn't gone down much. As you can tell I am really passionate about this topic because I've been dealing with it for so long and whats a lot sadder is that I am only 19. I going to keep praying and keep on trying to trust God tho.

    • @beingroxy
      @beingroxy Месяц назад +1

      @awesomegermany9586 Hi there, my brother! First, I empathize with you. It is admirable at your age to desire a wife and not a gf. My greatest advice is to continually surrender this desire to Jesus. Don't ask Him to take it away from you because He placed it there for a reason. Because He will fulfill it. My challenge for you is to pray for your future wife. Get a journal and pray for her, pray for her faith, her relationship with the Lord, to be a great wife or mom, and a great servant. Once you shift your thoughts of desiring her to prayer, you will see how God will move exponentially with this as you activate your faith.
      Yes, good things can become idols. Money is good but can be idol, work can be an idol, school, person, etc. But as for Hannah's petitions she desired a child so desperately but what shifted was when she said God if you give me a son I'll give him to you for the rest of his life to serve you. This is where it shifted and CHANGED, God heard her prayer. It no longer became an idol to her but she surrendered it. She surrendered by basically giving her desire to God. Her prayer went from God give me a son to God give me a son that will serve you forever. You see how that works?
      Ultimately marriage is about giving glory to God. It's to glorify the Father. Pray for your Kingdom Wife. And watch God move on your behalf.
      As a word of encouragement, she's coming. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Don't worry about who or if that's her. God will make it so PLAIN and CLEAR you will not be able to deny it.
      Jesus loves you so much!!!! In the meantime, find out what God has called you to do. Get busy working in the field for the Kingdom.

    this video came right on time. i felt like i was going backwards, and not allowing myself to be moved by God, and wondered why my life felt like it was in a standstill. now i know that God led me here and for me to understand that idols were getting in the way of me spending time with Him, which in terms meant that i had trouble opening my word and then having delayed obedience in the things He wanted me to do. thank you for making this video!

    I really needed this I’m having such a hard time with reading and I’m 37 weeks pregnant & so tired I will fall asleep. This pregnancy made me fall deeply into the flesh sleeping eating repeat I didn’t realize how far I’ve fell from God and his presence :( I feel so empty

      Pregnancy is a time for pause, I don’t think sleeping and eating is an issue. It’s what’s biologically required to grow your baby. You are divine. Just make sure to keep up with your values.

    I’ve been feeling so far from God and while I thought it was. Season of wilderness. I feel like God put your video in my feed to see this message. It’s time to starve the flesh. I really have been getting lax about my time with God. Thank you for this message

    @Momma-l3m 25 дней назад

    I had been making quite good progress with regular Bible study and idol starving (you’re so right, the more you do it the more you want to do it) UNTIL the day I committed to the deadline of reading the entire Bible before my 31st birthday (a little under 6 months, totally doable, but still I gotta stay on top of it obviously). That day onward I have been noticing it is harder and harder to make time for the word. My idols have been rearing their ugly heads (scrolling, online shopping, vapid RUclips videos) and it’s just crazy how obvious it is that that’s the enemy at work. I’ve had this video in my watch later for about a week at this point because I know darn well I got idols and I’ve just been delaying obedience. No more. There’s nothing more important. The verse that I cling to in moments of weakness is Psalm 119:37 “Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.”

    I kid you not the Lord sent me this video today. I have been struggling so much with these specific issues recently, delaying obedience and avoiding time with God out of fear of what he’s going to tell me next. And ofc to distract myself from avoiding Him I’ve been giving into my flesh. Thank you sister, this really blessed me today!

    The intro had me….. this morning my scripture was Romans 8:11 The Spirit of God , that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. I’ve see, read it, heard it so many times but today it hit a different way. I e really been meditating on that. The spirit, energy, power that raised Jesus from the dead…. Lives in me.
    It’s there. How do I access it? . How do I make it stronger ? What did Jesus do? All day the Lord has been leading me to answers and this video is one of the lessons. Thank you ma’am for posting this.

    I've been struggling with it all! God opened my eyes to it yesterday on how I was idolising my problems. I actually saw this video last week or earlier this week popping up but I felt too confronted to click on it. So the fact that I watched it today is God already working on me. I especially was touched by the part about it being a spiritual training/gym spending time with God. I always want to be able to do things at once 😅.

    Yes. We do have to remove idols but a good conversation to have is understanding what an idol is and recognizing if you are making these things idols. I have some idols I can clearly point out that have to go. People. Social media and work for sure. Also for the newer followers if you enjoy a show or your favorite hobby it is ok to enjoy those things just make sure it's not getting in the way of you having your personal time with God.

Then later in the day I found the courage to open my Bible and even further confirmation two pages were folded that I don’t remember ever folding Isaiah 44:9 titled (idolatry is foolishness) - Isaiah 46.

    When I’m consuming more tv & social media than spending time with him, It’s almost impossible to get in that word! And I’ve come to realize that it’s bc there’s too much clutter. His words don’t penetrate bc there’s too much going on & we know he speaks in a whisper. Same when I’m stressed, worried or filled with anxiety. Today I watched this instead of baddies. I feel good 🥹

    The Jonah story resonated with me. God loves us so much that even when we disobey, He will break us/put us in the wilderness just so he can redirect us to the path He wants us to be on.
    Also, God loves the world so much that He will literally interrupt the lives of His chosen/prophets (in this case Jonah) so that He can save nations.
    Glory to God!
