Seven Reasons Why We Easily Fall into Temptation
Thank you mam for your practical and insightful sharing, you've helped me get back to a better life. God bless you!
Surrendering to God is a challenge. There are areas that I justify for maintaining control, but then I wonder why I can't achieve my desires in my own strength. It's impossible to achieve anything without HIS strength and power. I have to admit that some thoughts and behaviors I don't want to change, then I will have to accept minimal success. Surrender is no longer an option but a necessity. Thank you for providing the steps to move forward and watch HIS plan unfold because my ways aren't working.
Lord I surrender completely to you have your way in my life take full control
Amazing, thanks!
Beautiful lady ❤️
Giving God full control. 1)Admit that you have problem. Every has sinned against God. 2) open up your whole heart to God. Don’t keep anything from give every part of your heart to him Jeremiah 29:13 3) be willing to change You want God to help you want to change. Philippians 2:13 4) to be consistent with God to change your life /always pray his help And strength in your life. 1 chron 16:11 5) when u fall get back up. 6) stay connected to the source of power.
Thank you for sharing Petra, my names Chloe, and I'm 25 in London. I'm currently in a wilderness season, living in a temporary accommodation. Could you pray for me please 🙏🏽
First time here and I enjoyed the lesson. It allowed me to refresh my mind and attitude this morning. Gratitude towards you for sharing your knowledge with others. Very precise and to the point I enjoyed that.
She speaks the truth, I know, I surrendered to God in all the ways she described and my life was transformed beyond my wildest hopes and dreams, before that, I was the dead branch where nothing flourished, every effort died, God IS powerful, put your trust in him.
Yes, I have been there too! She definitely spoke truth!❤
Thank you you video was confirmation
Thank you so much for sharing. I learned so much! God bless.
Thank you for this amazing gift!
I like that. God likes it when we bother him.
I love God. To submit to the God in Heaven is wonderful.
Thank you Jesus! 🙌🏾
There is a lot of much needed wisdom for me in this video. Thank You
if i pray and fast do u think God will give me children? cos i miscarriage my 10 weeks baby my heart broken lost hope start to scare
Yess but not make your relationship with him appear transactional ...just seek intimancy with him and all other things will be added to you
1. Admit that you have a problem 2. Give Him every part of your heart 3. Being willing to change 4. Be consistent in pleading with God to change our lives. Gods wants us to ask 5. When you fall, get back up 6. Stay connected to the source of power (God)
Thank you for your message 🙏🏾
I will sure do it I have been planning to do it for sometime now, but after reading your encouragement i will sure do it How long did you fast?
God Bless you and I will walk with your advice
Αμήν 🙏❤️

For some strange reason I completely lost Jesus Christ, God after eating a slice of melon that my sister offered me saying it was soul food, in Autumn 2020 but I have no idea why.
Recommitted my relationship with God this past may of this year. I went to have an private ceremony at one of my favorite spots in town, read scriptures pertaining to my vow I made unto Him. The main vow I 'd made to God, when I was 35 years old, to stop looking for an romantic relationship. I had desires to be in an loving relationship since my teens. Things have not worked out as I desired, is the reason for the vow toward God. He is the only one whom has been there for me, when the ones i' d counted on to be there. And God is the only one who has loved me unconditional- and I have not experienced that kind of love since my mother was part of my life.
Praise God for His unconditional, true love to us!
Where in the word Yah promised his people that if they would give 10% of their increase to Yah that they would prosper more?
Thanks for your comment and question. The word "tithe" means "10%. The answer to your question is found in Malachi 3:8-10: "8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Have a blessed day!
@@PetraDotsonMaranatha Thank you for your response! First I ask that you take this to Yah in prayer so that He will reveal to you the truth as that is indeed His desire when we seek Him with all our hearts! Second that scripture was about Israelites not bringing their offerings to the temple and because of their disobedience Yah judged them with a small harvest so Yah command them to give a full tithe in grain to see that He would bless them with an abundant harvest. And that is the context and it has absolutely nothing to do with the modern church. Yahusha(Jesus) came to fulfill the law has He said in Matthew and when the church began to grow instructions were given to the church in acts and tithing it’s not one among them. This is not to say that you should not give to the church, the contrary is actually instructed and many principles about giving are mentioned throughout the New Testament but never a specific amount is mentioned! Example when believers sold their homes and lands to meet the needs of the church. Furthermore what is required from us is to give according to what Yah as set in our heart but as many modern churches use such scriptures to demand that you give we have taken such as a command when it is not! Yah might ask for 1% or 100% or even ask that you give nothing and you are to do as you are directed by Him. I speak this in love because I was too certain of this until Yah Himself called me out of this lie! I ask that you take this in prayer and with a sincere heart ask Him for the truth! I love you with the love of Yahusha Have a blessed day
@@thatgirlyanara Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! I can see that you study for yourself. That is truly a blessing! I also love to study God's word. From my study of the Bible, here’s just a brief summary of why I believe the tithing system is still valid: 1. The Bible speaks much on how the tithe (meaning "a tenth") was used for the support of the ministers of God such as priests, etc. This is important to note. It is seen starting way back in the book of Genesis. Many people think tithing was specifically for Israel, but tithing was around even in Abraham’s day since he paid tithe to God's priest Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-2; Genesis 14:18-20). There was no nation of Israel (or law of Moses) at that time. Jacob also gave tithes to God (Genesis 28:20-22). There was no nation of Israel then either. So, if these Godly men knew to return tithe to God at that time, and God continued the tithing system with Israel in the commands given to Moses for supporting the priests and Levites, God's ministers (Numbers 18:24, 26), we have no reason to believe that tithes are not valid today. 2. Then I look at how Jesus referred to tithe. In Matthew 23:23, Jesus’ answer reveals His belief about tithe: “Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you *pay tithe* of the mint and anise and cumin but you’ve omitted the weightier matters, justice, mercy, and faith.” Finally, he adds, “These you ought to have done, and *not leave the other undone*.” The “other” is paying the tithe. He’s not saying not to pay the tithe. Pay the tithe, He explains, but don’t forget about justice, mercy, and faith. Therefore Jesus upheld tithe paying. 3. Lastly, I look at Paul. He actually affirms the tithe in the NT: Paul writes about the tithe, and he never indicates that it is something we should not do anymore. Paul adds, “You should not muzzle the ox that treads the grain” (1 Timothy 5:18). Here he is quoting directly from the Old Testament laws (Deuteronomy 25:4) and connects it to the tithe which the ministers of the Old Testament sanctuary received from God's people (1 Corinthians 9:13-14). Even though he doesn’t explicitly call it tithing, he says, “Those that preach the gospel should be sustained by the gospel.” You can see how he specifically was referring to the Old Testament principle of supporting God's ministers. And he never says that tithing is nothing, unlike circumcision. For these reasons and others, I believe that God still asks us to give the tithe. Thank you for taking the time to read and ponder my response. God bless!
@@PetraDotsonMaranatha tithing wasn’t required of everyone either but only from those who worked the land… tithing was never money but things they produced from the land and the first fruits that they took in a basket, was blessed by the priest and then they took it back and ate themselves at their houses! Like I said we are told to give but never a tenth! And when Abraham gave it was an isolated incident and wasn’t even from his own income! I desire not to keep going back in fort nor do I think of you any less because of this subject… this is one of many subjects the modern church has taken, manipulated and abused and many just blindly follow and it used to be me until I received revelation and so I pray the same happens to you and anyone who needs it! I love you 🤍
Excellent, thank you also you are a great speaker, it was delightful listening to you, it was obvious you got your needs met by God!!!
Praise God! Thanks for your encouraging words. The Lord truly does meet my needs. 🙌
I wish you would make more videos. Please come back. I pray you’re ok.
Thank you for checking in and for your kind words! My plate has been very full in the past year and even now, but I plan to make more videos in the coming year, God willing. Please pray for me to be able to do so. God bless!

Thank you. This has helped me a lot.
Hi! Thanks so much for your video! It’s very helpful 🙏🏻 I would love to know how to stay connected to the power of god. Because I want and I am feeling that I am surrendering but I really don’t know how to stay in that vibration of connection. Thank you so much! 🤍🙌🏻
Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 3:19
Petra- rock. Unshakeable and resilient Your name has come to pass in your life❤️🙌🏿
Thank you. Sis. For. Your. Testimony. God. Bless you
Hi. Sis. Can. You. Hear. Gods. Voice
Yes, definitely! The Lord wants to speak to us through his Word the Bible and the Holy Spirit. He promised us: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3 "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." Isaiah 30:21
Wow thank you for this. I am in a similar place, I received a word of prophecy about relocation and I've been putting forth applications under the unction faith without works, but this showed me that I am needing to wait on Him, be still and let God orchestrate my plans. God bless you for this testimony!
Amen! We will always be successful when we follow God's directions and timing. He will let us know when to move and when to be still. Praise his name!
How do you deal with people who try use God against you?
The best way is to know God for yourself and have a relationship with him for yourself. Spend time with him and read his Word, the Bible, so you know what he is saying to you and about you. Then when others use him incorrectly against you, you will be confident you are in his will. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the teachings sister! ❤🙏🏻
Praise God, sister!🤩
This is immensely helpful that you shared your fast in detail. Thank you so much for posting this up. I'm on my 5th day water fast and I just wanted to give up, but somehow I searched on YT "fasting christian testimonies" and yours came up today. I'm going to pray and ask God for strength. Much love💞💗💓💖💝
Praise God! I hope your time of fasting was an immense blessing!
@@PetraDotsonMaranatha Hi Petra!!! I'm done with my water fast yesterday!!!!!! ALL the glories and praises are to our Lord. I didn't feel hungry or upset. Instead, God has given me much joy and endurance. He also revealed to me my sins and guided me gently back. I became humble, patient, loving, and forgiving. God has answered most of my prayers and I can't ask for more. I didn't deserve any to begin with!! He is very kind to me !! Also, I notice a miracle, I suffered from 2 major traumas and got severe anxiety for 15 years now. After the water fast, I found it harder for me to slip into anxiety and easier into prayer mode. Have a very blessed day Petra!!!
@@BT-vh4lz Praise God! Such an awesome testimony...thanks for sharing! God is so good!
Thank you for sharing these insights. Such a blessing. May the Lord answer us as we fast and seek his face.
Praise God!

Father in heaven, please come close to LaKeisha. You know her needs and desires. Help her to trust you to guide and provide in her life. Grow her faith and make her a strong Christian who can glorify you in her life. I pray this in Jesus' name, amen.
