As a creative this is so real… we have to remember that the devil is the brethren’s accuser, and a liar. We must focus on things that are true, admirable… Philippians 4:8. If you wouldn’t talk to a child (younger you) that way, why would God talk to you, His child that way…
sounds like imposter syndrome :( don’t let the devil make you think your light needs to be dimmed! you have a lot of good in your life & that voice is trying to convince you that you don’t deserve it when you most definitely do 🌞
The whole identity thing and imposter syndrome and the fear of being perceived is so real. One thing that’s really helped me is to take on the identity that God says I am in his word💗like actively speaking those words and characteristics over myself that’s what shapes my identity now💗hope that helps!🎀💗
Hey Karren, remember, your value isn't about what you achieve or how you feel. You're a child of God, loved and cherished just as you are. Trust that He's equipped you for every step, and don't let doubts shake that foundation.
defs enemy tactic. and it’s always when there’s nothing bad going on in your life. like you’re not fighting any spiritual turmoil, relationships are good, etc. but your mind starts searching for something wrong to concentrate on.
the enemy is trying to attack you and plant deceptive lies to slow you down! keep addressing these lies as you notice them so that you can quickly rebuke them and replace the lies with truth. the devil is such a liar!! you are not a fraud and exactly where you need to be because you are in alignment with the LORD ♥︎
Girl it's giving the whole book of Ecclesiastes. Everything is HEVEL! (Meaningless, vapour) Thankfully God is meaningful even in our meaninglessness. Keep living sis!
I know you said 'no sympathy' and that you didn't ask, but I'll be praying for your heart, your mind and your thoughts! you have such a creative and lovely mind, and I pray the Lord provides solace and peace in terms of your self-view / self-image (& although it really doesn't matter what i think, i think you're great;))
"You don't have to listen to your thoughts." As a recovering people pleaser I feel your frustration and I get it. I'm older than you by at least a decade so perhaps with age and time you will care less about what people think of you but it takes time and for me therapy. Show up in the world however you want to show up. The people that matter will get it and the people that don't get it, don't matter 😘
Karren! I relate 100% to your experience, these are intrusive thoughts that can honestly cloud the identity and the freedom that the Lord has already given us. I truly had to seek the face of the Lord and pray and ask God to take away the negative self-talk, the fear and self-doubt that is worrying about how you are perceived, and decided to fight those thoughts with scripture as soon as they crept up. It was getting so bad that I was legit talking to myself, to the negative voice in my head, like full on convo, and the Lord stopped me one day and said "why are you entertaining the enemy?! Have I not already called you, separated you, anointed you for every idea and gift and expression of who you are?" God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of LOVE, JOY, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7, don't let the enemy have that much power over your mind, your thoughts, and the gifts GOD gave you! Remember that the CALLER, is also the KEEPER. Karren, as long as it is in the will of God, you can be a writer, fashion girly, evangelist, vlogger, all the things. Don't let self-doubt and fear hinder you from being excellent at one thing or more than one thing. The Lord has already prepared the way, His perfect love--shown at the cross--has already qualified you, walk firmly and boldly in that
Honestly we know the truths that God says about us in the Bible, so all those hating comments and restraints over us is a tactic to move us away from God. Girl walk in your Freedom. Jesus has conquered the darkness for you!
I think that feeling like a fraud might be the result of you thinking that you can't become this new identity that you're building for yourself. The funny thing Is that you already are that person. Regardless of whether these negative feelings stem from a fear of complacency or self-doubt, you need to recognize that who you are is more than enough, and worth being admired. Even though your RUclips audience sees a filtered version of you, your emotional vulnerability and faith show your true character, which in my opinion is worth the admiration.
Hey Karren, I literally love your videos and your creativity. Bro the enemy makes me so mad fr!! literally accusing you and messing with you! I have dealt with this for years since I was 11 I'm in my 20s and it was consistent lies and accusing to the point I couldn't sleep at night. Start rebuking those lies and speaking the truth! you are wonderfully and fearfully made! your quirks, likes and dislikes, and creativity were gifted to you and you have a special gift! I love what you are doing and how experimental you are becoming with your style. I REBUKE YOU SATAN FOR MESSING WITH KARREN!! I totally understand how you feel and your feeling are validated but continue to stand firm.
Wow, I relate to this so much. I feel seen, and Im so glad you shared this. I tried so hard to adapt and fit in when i was younger, and it has carried into my adult life in this way. And this put into words exactly how I feel now.
It sounds like a critical spirit. For me, how I’ve dealt with that is immediately voicing out the positive or the opposite of what the enemy is saying. Your words have life. Also therapy really helped me❤
ohh i see the enemy is really trying the girlies right now, i literally posted a video about dealing with impostor syndrome a few weeks ago !! honestly i'm still going through it, but thank you karren for sharing this and putting words on this, i really thought i was going crazy and now i feel so seen 💐💌
Hi Karren. I can also relate to what you talked about. It sounds like imposter syndrome, this is also the devil lying to you through bad thoughts. Please, do not allow him. These thoughts are not directly from your brain, they are from the enemy; so that you can forget who you are in Christ. Please, speak loud and cast the devil away from you ao that he will not be able to achieve his evil plan. ❤️
You’re a child of God sis never forget that and if you do get in the word again and remind yourself of what he has spoken over your life. Also never hurts to go on a retreat or a fast ❤
I don't feel unique at all. But then I remember and this has been a recent thought God created us in his image, and that reminds me we're created in his eyes. So I don't try to compare myself to others or devalue others because they are also created in his image. It's a struggle but its a constant reminder.
Just a heads up.. idk if bc it’s different this is different as well but you’re not supposed to touch shito with a wet spoon/fork bc it makes it go bad earlier.. esp if you’re keeping it out of the fridge ofc bc its the copious amount of oil that preserves it. I’m using the logic of y’all licking it cuz the fork would be wet😂.
Karren you are soooo loved by the Creator , with all this thoughts arising girl plead the precious blood of Jesus over them and continue to remain in the word cause there is where the Lord speaks to you! Neither of our thoughts matter but only the Lord alone, always remember that! I LOVE you Karren, and I will keep you in my prayers!🤍
Ignore that voice, it wants you to stop doing what you love because it knows that if you tap into that you would actually flourish❤. The devil is so insecure and annoying
Karren is God's child and she is as amazing as God says. She isn't a fraud cause God is mkst definitely not a fraud. She calls herself what God calls her. Karren is blessed
"You do not have to make sense to anybody"- Valued Words from Karren We love your videos because we love watching you for YOU! God made us in his image, so you are amazing no matter what you choose. As long as you think of Christ first in those moments to help guide your heart and mind, you will be okay! (( :
Read your Substack “against all odds” this morning and it connected me into the presence of God. Your identity is solidified in Christ and His display in your life is beautiful.
Read Matthew 11:28 , The Lords peace and rest is yours. Give him all those feelings and everything that is too much for you to handle , exchange it for His rest and peace. Jesus loves you always ❤
Thank you for sharing you, authentically! I I hear you on the conflicting thoughts, It may also be because we live in this hyper consumer culture, we’re always being influence so I don’t think it’s bad to evaluate and see what’s is influencing you Vs what is you naturally?.. in a healthier way ofc.. as someone who’s been in the U.S for a similar amount of time I relate to the hyper vigilance when it comes to this.. I mean a part of it is necessary for a healthy mature adult. I also understand forming strong opinions because I try not to as well because I see how people around me can be too rigid unhealthily lool so to stop conflict I’m like lemme try and do better so we can be a bit more level here😂 but on the flip side is that I just try to approach everything with open heart/mind after careful observation so if I make any statements they’re backed up to some Degree 😭. I share this all to say you’re not alone! Growing pains Fr. Immigration is deeper than it seems, and so is growing in the flesh & maturing in Christ. Really makes a complex identity in all its beauty and struggles. Romans 15:13 🤍
Replace that voice with the voice of God. Might be time or a retreat to fast and listen to more sermons and taking time to read more of the word. Let the Lord remind you of who you are❤
That voice is definitely the devil. Every time you hear that thought, rebuke it out loud. And speak scripture over your life. The enemy doesn’t attack people who are not doing something right for God’s kingdom so you are doing something right🩷
I relate so heavily with you. Things will get better Karren sometimes it feels as if you are trapped within the confines of your mind and it truly is a scary thing. You inspire me each and every day and I am so grateful that God has allowed me to stumble across your channel🫶
Aw Karren 🫂i truly pray God reveals to you what you must see about music and certain entertainment. Taylor's music isn't it especially when you're a child of God

I still remember the lines from when I read it in middle/high school? “Hevel,hevel,hevel everything is hevel!”😭😭
Thanks for sharing, definitely not unique to only you . I literally have to blast gospel music to drown out those negative thoughts

This!!!!
sometimes I’m like “i just want to sit here and not think” bc the thoughts coming racing. it’s so annoying.
Meditating on God's Word instead helps in mind renewal and resisting the devil

No, because you just perfectly verbalized the internal struggle I deal with on the daily in like every aspect of my life😭
It sounds like a critical spirit. For me, how I’ve dealt with that is immediately voicing out the positive or the opposite of what the enemy is saying. Your words have life. Also therapy really helped me❤

That voice is from the devil. You have to rebuke him.
I have never related to you more

Replace that voice with the voice of God. Might be time or a retreat to fast and listen to more sermons and taking time to read more of the word. Let the Lord remind you of who you are❤
@karren ❤More of your Identity is in Christ don't forget that.
@@justineiipinge1638yes I was going to say this especially when she started questioning herself in my head I was telling her “you’re a child of God”‼️
It's definitely the enemy Karen! Talk back to it. Speak the Word of God to that evil voice.
clicked so fast
Gurl please that silencing that voice. In Christ there’s no condemnation.
That voice is definitely the devil. Every time you hear that thought, rebuke it out loud. And speak scripture over your life.
The enemy doesn’t attack people who are not doing something right for God’s kingdom so you are doing something right🩷
i related to this so much 🥲
I relate so heavily with you. Things will get better Karren sometimes it feels as if you are trapped within the confines of your mind and it truly is a scary thing. You inspire me each and every day and I am so grateful that God has allowed me to stumble across your channel🫶
