@@Kelly_Nicole80 Beautiful sister I will! Maybe think about the devil can only use what you have. So he reminds you of the past thoughts and actions that are familiar. And in the flesh we gravitate to what is familiar. But remember God knew you before you were formed ,so he is what's really familiar. No matter what you do God already knew and has already prepared a way for his will to still be done. Nothing we go through will ever be wasted. So don't be so hard on yourself. We all fail him daily and he knows that. But God is so loving he died just cause he knew we would. I found freedom in God by giving him all my fears. Look around.....He has made sure you have survived everything you have been through cause you are so valuable to him and his purpose. I love you my sister and I'm sure so many others do too.

I can actually testify to this ❤ I remember when the year started I constantly got anxiety because I was fresh out of university (with my first qualification) and everyone else was talking about how useless it is. But I remember crying to God and telling Him that I'm worried because I don't have connections and He said, "You may not have connections, but you are connected to me." Till this day, it still gives me goosebumps 😭😭❤ I also asked God to help me desire the things that He wants for me.. a week later, I began to desire becoming a lecturer and according to my calculations, it would've taken me about 3 years to get there but 2 weeks later, I was called for an interview and I got a job as a lecturer at a college.🥺 I'm still in awe 🥺❤ not only was I elevated, I WAS ELEVATED BY THE GRACE OF GOD while stepping into purpose !!! Weeks later, God even appointed me to be a Sunday school teacher and youth leader at my church.🥺❤ And now I'm working on a ministry He gifted me.. 🥰 MY GOD IS INDEED MIGHTY 🙌

Sometimes we go through situations that not only slap us in the face, but also knock us down so hard it almost seems impossible to get back up again. A new blessing is coming! God being for you is greater than the world being against you. I’ve been through something similar, and it wasn’t until nearly a year after the work situation that I received a greater blessing, looked back, and realized that God was preparing and redirecting my steps all along. He was cleansing my heart and reshaping my character and values. Somethings we have to hit rock bottom to bounce back with greater force than where we’ve been. I developed a thicker skin, a stronger confidence in myself, and built a stronger connection with God because I knew I couldn’t have gotten back on my feet and gotten even further than I thought was possible if it wasn’t for His grace. Keeping praising and trusting God for His plans for your life! Your time is coming!

Praying for strength for you to leave. I was in a similar situation and ignored it all I could. I tried to walk a Christian life in a relationship with a non-Christian. No way it was going to work without compromise and usually, unfortunately, it's the Christian in the situation who compromises. It's easier to pull someone down from a chair than it is for the person on the chair to pull someone up. I didn't leave, but God saved me from myself by allowing him to leave. The part that made me low-key feel ashamed was that he, the unbeliever, realised what was wrong and encouraged me to focus on my faith. Whole time I was tryna balance him and Jesus. Imagine that!!!! Now, I'm closer to Jesus than ever and am very careful about entertaining anybody else. I don't want anyone else competing for Jesus' place in my life. I pray you receive the courage to trust God and let go ❤.

hey sis!! I missed you! ♥ it's been a week since we've chatted, so let's get into it! Today's question: what is ONE THING you've had to give up as God has shifted you? & what did He replace this thing with? It's really easy, during the shift, to be so focused on what we are losing but our God never removes something from our lives without replacing it with something far better. so I just know this comment section is going to be FULL of God's goodness. for me: when I think back over my walk with the Lord, one of the first shifts that happened was God taking away my desire to listen to the music I used to love (secular rap, hip hop). Music was previously something that I used to connect with people on, especially friends I grew up with so as God was taking away my love for it and replacing it with a new found love of worship music, I honestly felt out of the loop, embarrassed, and disconnected. I would avoid getting the aux code because I knew no one would want to listen to what I was loving at the moment. But this love of worship music God gave me 8 years ago has sustained me in ways I can't even explain during the shift(s) and challenging seasons that have come since. He knew I was going to need it to say encouraged and I'm so grateful for His foresight and love!!!

He has me giving up so much this past year, and the crazy thing is, the more I give up, the more free and 'myself' that I feel. Where do I start? Eating for comfort - He revealed to me that I choose food when I am stressed or processing trauma instead of coming into His presence. My sense of humor - He showed me that I use my sense of humor to bring glory to myself and that's why I end up regretting a lot of things I say for the sake of entertaining friends. I feel like I have to be funny and entertain to be of value and that needs to stop lol Self-interest and being aggressive and domineering - He's showing me that security is in Him, He will fight my battles, and honestly this is so hard to admit but He's showing me how narcissistic and ruthless I can be at times when I feel threatened. This and more. It has been a very humbling past several months. I feel like He is breathing life into me though. God is so good and all glory is His due.

I left there and in 2 months I got a message from another center. When I went to the interview I had a not so good feeling about the place, but the owner was introducing me as if I was already hired. Being who I am I just went along and started working there. That was a month ago. Last week I got sick and couldn't go to work. I had already prayed and applied for a position in the public school system the weekend before. While I was home sick on Tuesday I got a call from a school wanting to do a virtual interview on Wednesday. My interview was at 1:30pm and I didn't think I did that well, but, Praise God, I was called at 3:30pm with a job offer. The job is closer to home, and will allow me to work with older children, work with at risk children, and allow me to be able to pick my granddaughter up from her afterschool program when my daughter has to work late. I am beyond happy for this opportunity since I was working in the school system before the pandemic as a substitute teacher. This is so how God works.

If you are like me; a control freak, the thought of no longer having any control over your life can be scary but when you finally give it all to God, it’s so freeing❤

My job After I left, I had more time to spend with God and to commit to the passions He placed in my heart (Music Composition, visual art, serving in church). He's also provided for me financially during this time. It's definitely not how I would think to provide for myself, but I think He is teaching me humility and faith this way.

I’ve given up the time I used to waste on social media for time in my Word, in worship and prayer and with family. God’s replaced the self-induced isolation I was in with godly community-both in friendship and relationship. Sometimes I look back in disbelief that so much has shifted in the past 7 months but it’s all God. He’s made me a new person and the pruning still continues 🙌🏾

The biggest thing I’ve learned over the course of the waiting season of my life is losing control and trusting God, like fully and completely yielding my life to align with what He wants for me and at the same time following His ways and timing. Being quite a control freak and perfectionist at the time, it truly had been hard. I constantly felt like God wasn’t being quick enough, but right now I know that if I had received the answers at that time, I wouldn’t have had the kind of relationship I have with Him now. The wilderness season opened my eyes, ears and heart to Him and I cannot be more grateful. Also, your video coming today of all days is all the confirmation I need. Thank you so much for this. I’m finally in my new season. ❤️

God has been changing me so much in the last 5 months . I’ve been extremely emotional in the process. I was living with so much sin. Everytime I let something go I have been feeling better and better. Sometimes I still can’t believe how I have been able to drop so many destructive things that I loved to do. The only way it was even possible is through the Holy Spirit. I have new passions. I have new role models. I truly love Jesus and that makes me so happy to be at this point in my life. I am so thankful that I can emotional just talking about it. God Bless everyone ! Thank you for this video!

Great video Melody, thank you for sharing your insight concerning this passage. I believe the main thing God has been asking me to give up is emotional insecurity (i.e. the inability to trust that God loves me enough to take care of me). This has been linked to unresolved grief concerning the loss of my parents. In exchange, He has been helping me to walk in greater confidence concerning my identity in Christ. It's been very hard but I am incredibly grateful for the amount of healing I've been able to experience, particularly the return of my joy.

Your dedication to God's Word has touched my heart deeply, and I am in awe of the tremendous progress you've made on your spiritual journey. Praise be to God for His work in your life! Your teachings have been a source of immense growth and encouragement for me, and I am genuinely excited about the prospect of one day joining forces with you to create a Bible study together. Your passion for sharing God's love and wisdom shines through in every word you speak, and I know that collaborating with you would be a divine blessing. As we walk this path of faith together, let us hold fast to our unwavering trust in the Lord, knowing that He guides our steps and strengthens us in times of trials. Your steadfastness and commitment to God's teachings inspire me to keep the faith alive, to remain strong even when faced with challenges. May you continue to be a beacon of light, spreading the gospel in Jesus' name with unwavering fervor. Your influence in the lives of those around you, including mine, is immeasurable, and I am certain that God will continue to use you for His divine purposes. With love and admiration, ❤💪🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿🚀

I’m still in the hard part of the shift. It did happen quickly. I’ve lost more than I wanted but what I’ve gained in growth and awareness is priceless. God promised from the beginning of this life transition that He was giving me more than He was asking me to let go of. Notice I didn’t say He took it. He asked me to let it go. I’m waiting on Him. Working towards the things I need to go forward (I think), but I frequently wonder if I’m trying to do it in my strength and knowledge instead of truly showing Him faith even if I look lazy and delusional. I don’t know, but this was a great encouragement. Thank you for these possible signs to be aware of. God Bless!

A shift came when God removed me from two organizations to focus on purchasing a home. Tough questions: Do the people around you value your time? Are you appreciated for your faithfulness? Isolation/Separation: Not being able to participate in events as I wanted. Confirmation: Family and friends, then peace. I believe another shift is happening and this one is VERY tough.

I tried to start my day with prayer and reading the Word however He has shifted me to wake up and workout to worship music. This gets me energized, worshiping His greatness as my first frit of the day to Him and I am alert and ready to dive into His Word and what He has for me for the day. This just started yesterday, and I am so EXCITED to continue to be developed by God!! (Gave up sleep for more Jesus time!)

Hey sis, God has been busy with me. I would say I had to give up the bad habit of being self-critical and how I see myself. I have always put people needs before my own not that its a bad thing. But I just didn't mind putting myself last on the list. Now I know how important it is to take better care of me. And in the midst of those changes, I've lost friends and dealt with heartbreak from a long-term relationship. It has been challenging to deal with those things, but God has been a source of comfort. I have replaced it with being intentional, setting boundaries for others and myself and setting quiet time for prayer and worship. I've got a mix response with the positive changes I've made and its okay it's not for them it's for me. But as my faith grows, I know that God has something bigger in store for me. Praise God! I loved the video. God bless!

God was shifting me in preparation to reveal my purpose to me. This came with many sacrifices of letting go of people and things that weren't good to/for me. I'd make those sacrifices over again a million times. I've lived my entire life, up to that point, not knowing what my purpose was. Depression literally took over my life for the past 15+ years but by the grace of God, he has delivered me from so much, restored my faith, and made my purpose clear as day. Praise God!!!

Thank you so much for this message. I’m just realizing this now, and I wanna share my testimony. In August of last year I went through a breakup from my bf of 6 years. After that I felt my whole life shifting, I had to move to a different state and didn’t know anyone. It was so uncomfortable because I thought I would move and have so much fun exploring a whole new city but God brought me in such a quiet place. I didn’t understand at first and depression almost got a hold of me, until I realized that this was an answered prayer. Before my move I very specifically asked God to bring me in a “quiet place” so I can focus. And he sure did. Before I met my ex I had just learned about Christianity and I was so on fire for the Lord, but I became lukewarm and started living for the world. Now that I’ve lost all my comfort, I found that Jesus brought back the FIRE in my heart. Nothing else compares to it. ❤️🔥
