You probably won’t see this but I’m going to pray so hard that God puts it on your heart to continue these because you speak so abundantly to my heart. You may not know it but you have a gift of leading people to Jesus and teaching them how God is working constantly. I pray you continue these devotionals and look into creating an avenue to do daily devotionals and talks like these for the thousands of women and men who are so eager to hear him speak through you. ❤️
I just want to say, honestly, even as a non-Christian person, your devotionals always speak to me so beautifully!! These might even be my favorite of all your videos. I carry your spiritual teachings in my heart!
Jess - I have been waiting for this. Your "Infinitely More" devotional literally changed my life. This past spring, a farmer friend gave our family two raised beds, which is something we've wanted for a long time. However, we really didn't know what we were doing, lacked confidence, and put off filling them with soil and planting seeds until July 4th. The first thing we planted that day were okra seeds, because okra was brought to the US by enslaved Africans; and we wanted to honor them. (We are an African-American family.) To our amazement, those seeds germinated in a few days and steadily grew into the beautiful, thriving plants they now are. Moreover, we were surprised to see one lone okra plant growing through the thick grass next to the bed. A seed must have fallen from the packet or my hand onto the ground without my knowing it. To our surprise, that okra plant is bigger and stronger than the others in the bed we finally filled and planted! I think it was God's way of saying, "Even when you delay or just do what you can in this relationship, I will do a lot more!" It also said something to me about His power and promise, which far surpasses mine. He is my best and most loving friend. Why wouldn't I want to be in relationship with a God like Him?! Thank you for not only teaching us, Jess, but also inspiring us to do what we can when we can. And thank you for reminding us, as you said, that God is the One who fulfills our dreams. - Esther in Chapel Hill, NC
This story brought tears to my eyes!!!!!!!!! YES, oh we have such a Good God. He will always do more than we can think possible. How happy this story about your okra makes me!!!
@@kathybastin9613 Please keep us in your prayers. My daughter and I spent a lot of time out there yesterday evening cleaning up and planting fall seeds! And the okra are still growing. Our ancestors are smiling. 😊
Thank you. I have been following you for over a year now and have grown to trust and respect you so much. I am not a Christian, and frankly, have had a not so positive relationship with Christianity in the past. But because I trust and respect you- and watched this entire video and listened. I feel strongly that we all have something to learn and teach each other and when we listen with an open heart we can only grow. Thank you for building a bridge that I felt comfortable crossing. We need so much more of that now more than ever.
I honestly hated Christians until a couple years ago...I sat down read the gospels myself and fell in love with Jesus. God opened my eyes to how there are evil counterfeit forms of Christianity, Jesus actually warns us of it. Now I'm born again with the Holy Spirit and he healed me from so many things....try ignoring everything you know about Christianity (like the condemning, hateful, prideful American version) and seek to know Jesus for yourself through the gospels. ❤️
“If I had just woken up with my babies and sat with him” sent me to tears. In a season of raising two littles and this was the message God needed me to hear today. Praise Jesus for his steadiness in pursuit of our hearts ♥️
I think this is absolutely the most profound devotion I have “heard” in my almost 56 years, and I was raised in the church from birth. Thank you for sharing what God layed on your heart. Perfect for this day and time. ❤️ Thanks for the blessing of your words.
Jane I just commented a similar thought. I think it was the most honest and edifying teaching on Mary and Martha I’ve ever heard...and I’ve heard many as you probably have also. When she said she was offended that Jesus didn’t ask someone to help Martha I realized I too have had that thought. As Christians we’ve all been taught to be like Mary, and we def need to sit as His feet, but I think particularly us moms and Grandmoms we find ourselves working like Martha. I’m so appreciative of Jess sharing her thoughts this morning. It is in Him that we live and move and have our being...and I needed the reminder. God bless.
Hey Jane. I just came across your comment and was compelled to share the devotional Jess did a few years ago that totally changed my life. It remains my all time favorite video on youtube. Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/Xl6Ezr7JN0Y/v-deo.html
I turn 60 this year….. after a lifetime of pursuing a “personal” relationship with Yeshua, I have come to understand and believe that I have always been in one. I was trying to fit into a relationship box not meant for me. I see that now, as my Father has been working on teaching me about our relationship lately. Through neighbours, sermons at church and online, reading scripture and having the perceived expectations taken away one by one, I can finally rest at the foot of the cross, or rest on a walk, and just be with my Father.
I think that falling acorn was a little bit of humor and a message to you that you, like the little acorn that grows into a mighty tree, you're God's little acorn spreading his messages of hope and love to us all. I hope we can sit with him, together, again soon. What a lovely blessing you all are. Thanks for sharing.
I know the lord lead me to your Chanel years back in order to get me back to him. Your devotionals and garden lessons have been the little chips broken away on the wall I was putting up . Keep spreading you joy over those that are broken.
I SO relate to Martha. The line....when you are offended you have stepped out of the walk with God. That hit home. Thank you! I get SO MUCH out of your devotionals. Thank you so much for sharing your heart.
Thank you. The past months have been the hardest, and I've felt so hurt, lost and abandoned. It's 4am and I couldn't sleep, and I watched you talk. Thank you, Jess for showing me.
Thankyou for sharing, giving your time to us. I am still learning at 73 yes old after walking with Him over forty years. I love the peace I have with him now. Most of the striving has gone. Bless you Jesus
♫I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses And He walks with me and He talks with me, And He tells me I am his own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known♫
Even though we don't follow the same path of spirituality, your words resonate with me. Thank you for encompassing all of us within your fold of blessings. You are an inspirational woman in so many ways.
I was trying to figure out the words. Thank you for expressing so eloquently. I also appreciate the message and faith from Jess and family, though my path is not the same.
God has TRULY used you with this Vlog episode in ways you’ll never know on this side of heaven, Jessica. 💕 May God bless & keep you, cause His light to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
He never said the law was done away with though. But it should be through a circumcised heart that we hear the words of Moses and obey. Messiah never taught against them. He said they erred in the SCRIPTURE not knowing the SCRIPTURE. The SCRIPTURE that He was speaking of was the TaNaK. The NT would not be written for decades later. The NT all from the OT. He will not accept lukewarm lawless and the NT says so. Here’s an example of what we do not understand and what satan has made backwards in what we believe because he wants us to be lawless and lukewarm. He is a deceiver and uses the truth and make it a wrong understanding to deceive people. You are going down the road and you go through a red light and an officer pulls you over and gives you a citation. Now you are under the law and the law is against you for disobeying the law. So only One can pay this debt, so He says I am paying your debt but I will only do it this once, I’m paying it with my very life, my very blood to cover the nakedness/ shame of the sin. This is my grace that I allow you to be free from the law, so He says Go and Sin No More! Do not trample the blood! So now you are free from the law, your penalty and debt is paid! Do you now go disobey His Holy Law or obey it? He will not allow lukewarm or lawlessness in His house. He wants passion for the Holy Word. Abraham OBEYED and it was counted as righteousness. He believed and trusted YHWH. Even the demons believe and tremble. We have circumcised hearts to obey. If we do anything through coercion of man, then it’s not through conviction of a circumcised ( cut the meat/ in covenant) heart. His Holy Days of Lev 23 IS His plan of salvation and marriage covenant to His bride. They are important to know. The armor is not Roman soldier garb, it is the priests garments and there’s a reason for wearing them. The leaders are supposed to be teaching the Word, Messiah is the living Word/ the TaNaK. The disciples obeyed the TaNaK. They even showed up for the Holy Days and Paul did nazarite vows which offerings include animal sacrifice. Acts 21 and Acts 18. Zachariah 14 shows animal sacrifice will continue in the 1000 year reign. 3 times all nations must show up for the Holy Days or they will get NO rain on their crops. None. Zacchaeus paid back anyone he had caused to be undone 4 fold. It’s the law of paying back double. It is going the extra mile with them. It’s giving the extra garment which is their bedding to keep them warm at night. He never changed. Read 1 Corinthians 10 slowly, We were taught a mixed gospel and He abhors mixing. He wants a pure clean bride, no whoring or mixing at all. It must be from a circumcised heart though. You’ll notice that they told the new converts in I think Acts 15 :20-21 to do the laws, stop drinking the blood and stop fornicating, AND THEN they will hear Moses being preached in the synagogues. This is because anything that we do to obey the laws, it must come from a thoroughly circumcised heart through conviction and not coercion by man. They cannot just simply become members. And they don’t come as they are. There must be a repentance from the sins we are doing. If the fruit of the repentance is not there and we obey do not obey from a deep conviction, then we are lawless and lukewarm and we will he spewed from His mouth. Do not be fooled. There is obedience. Everyone has rules for their home. Read 1 John 2 and James(Jacob) Deuteronomy 6 and know the Holy days and what they mean as He is Vick g them to is to understand His Covenant. Bring cleansed alters for the sacrifice, He does not want filthy alters. We were supposed to leave our gift at the alter and go physically make amends for our sin to anyone we had caused to be undone in any way shape or form. Sometimes we cannot do this. Like Paul killed true believers and it was always a burden on his heart though he knew he had been forgiven. And Paul never feared death and rejoiced in persecutions. This is how we are also to be. Stop sinning and we will look forward to the birthing of death into Messiahs arms. Much Shalom(completeness, perfectness and wholeness) who’s circumcised minds and hearts are continuously on Him. There’s a reason YaH is gracious unto us. It’s not because we ignore His Holy Laws. They should be graded upon our hearts, they are how to Ahabah one another and Ahabah Him. What the church teaches has not helped, they do not forsake their sins ( trampling His blood with lukewarmness ) and the wolves took over. They accept the sin of the people read more of the word if we think there are not rules and laws and instructions. But they must be from a full belly of Who He is. He is the Holy Word. Adultery fills the minds and dreams of men and they think they are forever forgiven. People serve themselves, read the ones in the wilderness and what they complained of, it was sin. When we lose it all will we complain or Trust YaH? How many days will you go without water and food without complaint? Read Job 38 and 1 Corinthians 10. Messiah is the YHWH of the OT. Lawlessness and lukewarmness will not be in His kingdom. But yes He wants love. But clean love that is within His boundaries. We obey every word that proceeds out of His mouth, keep His ordinances and guard them, hear His voice. Write them ALL on the tablets of your heart. You can live without food n drink but you cannot live without His Commandments in your heart. Deuteronomy 6. When He takes all of everything that we own away p, what will we do? When we are starving will we eat the pig n mouse, are you still clean and Holy? No! You must repent and obey Him! Do not use drug sorcery pharmaceuticals and obey Him fully! He hates and abhors lukewarmness and lawlessness! To Love Him is to obey ALL OF HIS commandments. 1John 2 Do not be fooled. We must fully passionately want to be within His walls.
Oh Jess, your devotionals hit my heart right where it needs. I am pregnant with my 4th baby and so many things you said comforted me and made me feel so encouraged. God has used you to bless my life so richly.
Jess I so appreciate you valuing your relationships with people that have different beliefs than you have. That’s why I listen to you because I feel welcome just the way I am. In the past I would’ve seen the word devotional and clicked on by, But because I know you respect and welcome all I listened and I learned something. My house of worship is also my garden.
It esteems our Beloved Abba Father YHWH when we use His Name as you did here, Jess! His Word tells us this over and over. He wants us to remember Him, and remember His Name. HalleluYah! 💜💜
Jessica, this was as strong & beneficial a message as I’ve heard come out of any pulpit and I thank you for it. Maybe all the preachers need to take their seat on a old board & rope swing!
Soooooooo needed to hear this. As someone who is entering my senior years with a son that has special needs, the demands can often push the sitting time with Jesus away. Needed to be reminded that I can be intimate with Jesus while I am preparing the daily meals & meds for my son (peanutbutter and jelly sandwich). Need to keep reminding myself of heart posture until it becomes the very way I live. Blessings Jess. He shines so brightly through you, Thank you for your willingness to be the vessel.
For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery all the nations were led astray.” Ḥazon (Revelation) 18:23 TS2009 Food is the medicine, we should eat right, no GMOed foods, no grazon hay, no chemical toxins. No unclean, just eat seed bearing plants and just the Daniel diet, the body heals if you give it the nutrition to heal and obey the scriptures and seek and listen to YaH. Online the diet is called 80-10-10. Much Ahabah! May your son be healed.
This was such an on time anointed full of grace and wisdom devotional. He is exactly who He says He is and He loves us just as He says He does. I pray for grace to receive this devotional to all who heard. Blessings and love to you and your family
Thank you so much, Jess! Your words just wash over my parched soul. Your life is an open book and whether you are talking about gardens and homesteading or sharing a devotional, I see Jesus in you! Bless you!
Thanks, Jess - for sharing your faith! I truly believe that many of us strong women, whether we are homemakers or CEO’s, often relate to Martha - we are doers and don’t often allow ourselves to stop and sit quietly, like Mary. We see something that has to be done and we jump in. I have to ask myself, is my constant business a reflection of Him. Just finished studying 1 John - I love how John reminds us that if we constantly walk in the truth of God, there will be little difficulty for others to see Jesus in what we do. In his letter, John wrote with hope that the reader would eagerly seek fellowship with God, so sincerely, so intimately that we would know what it meant to “walk in the light, as He is in the light.” Keep on sharing both your life on your new property and your strength and obedience as a woman of God.
This was excellent. He is with us in everything we do. Becoming aware of Him is so precious. His mercy is new every morning which makes looking forward a must.
I needed this today. I pray often for him to lead me and I forget to be with him in each moment instead of select moments and intentional worship. Bless you and thank you Jessica. You're are such a beautiful person.
Jess, I found your channel last year when I was grieving the death of my father. You encouraged me to start a vegetable garden of my own. Watching my seeds take root also brought me back to regrowing my relationship with Jesus. Thank you for your generosity of spirit, you have a way of clearing a path when I over complicate things in my own mind. Bless you and your lovely family, from the west of Ireland x
The fact that you are completely out of that season and still felt called to tell about that testimony just proves that Jesus speaks through us when we allow Him. I needed this!! Thank you for being humble and devoted.
Jessica thank you. Your word today was straight from the heart of God! I was slipping back imto condemnation because my Mom move in and I care for her. Since covid I also babysit weekdays for my 1 yr old grandson. I also have a garden to tend. I'm so busy but I meditate on the Lord while I'm working. I was starting to be frustrated when my morning time praying and reading is constantly interupted. I needed this very word today. I see the God in you. What an on time word. Thank you for you obedience and openness. I know that the Kingdom of God is "in" me and "in" you. God used you today. I love you! God bless you! A few years ago I was riding in my car to the store and this awesome worship song was playing. When I got to the store I didn't want to go in since the song was still playing and I was in the spirit of worship. Suddenly a small voice spoke and said "take me with you". You reminded me of that day Jess.
“Cease striving and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted upon the earth” Ps 46:10 Grateful for you sweet Jess. That was fire!
God puts us in positions of dire need to drive us to His feet to meet the need. He does this until we discover that sitting at His feet is the end...not a means to an end. Need drives us to Jesus until we discover that being with Jesus is the goal. If we sit at His feet every morning on purpose, we will not be driven there by accident. It is so refreshing to hear you speak like this!
As I am listening to this devotional, I began questioning "How often have I been a 'Crazy Carnival Mirror' instead of being a true reflection of Christ"
Another perfect devotional because it is what I needed to hear today! Thank you Jess for being the Messenger for me today! The Divinity in me honors the Divinity in you! Namaste!
I’ve completely changed the way I pray. 99% of my prayers are gratitude to God. One of the things I thank Him for every single day is His constant, profound presence in my life. Your words about that presence spoke directly to me. He was speaking through you, to me, this day. I know for sure that He hears me. ❤️
Yes! He is so faithful when I pray "Please let your presence be known to me today". Lately with these dark days I've been prompted to pray for him to let any lies be known to me, keep falsehoods away and it has increased my discernment so much.
Preachin’ my sermon sister... He is not willing that one should perish...He wants them all. Love. Father YHWH bless you and make His face to shine upon you... In Yeshua’s name.
If it’s one thing I truly believe, is that God uses each and everyone of us as his vessels to send out messages to those that need them. This beautiful message was received by many. Not all needed it, but those that did, got their message. And yet, a seed was planted in those that listened. Thank you. Thank you for not being afraid to share such heartwarming words. For we know it brings ridicule. And if they come, we must pray for them and send them blessings. Hopefully, one day they will feel the love they are missing and his favor. Thanks again Jess. Sending you and your entire family blessings. ❤️🙏❤️
Many years ago, a wise woman once told me , when I felt I was not doing everything for God that I should, that raising my children was exactly what I should be doing for that season. Bless you for sharing your faith and lessons learned . You said it beautifully!
love does not take offense, love is not jealous.... so why is God a Jealous God and takes offense often? Why does he demand that his followers fear him? Is this really a loving God?
@@bipslone8880 Hello, when we read the translation of the Bible we have to consider the fact that it was translated from Hebrew and Greek, which has such a rich background in their meaning. I believe the word fear when it was translated really meant to reverence or respect. Like the word repent simply means to change ones mind. There are a couple of books that were put together to help us more fully understand the true, richer meaning of words that, at the time of translating, didn’t really have a very good English counterpart. The Strongs Concordance is one of them and is free online. I hope this helps you a little bit in understanding the Bible and why it was written/translated the way it was by the King James scholars. I am no expert, but I remember having that exact same concern you voiced. Have an awesome day!
@@deborahandrews9728 1 Timothy 2:11 "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." Are you trying to play around with Gods words?
@@bipslone8880 no, again you have to look at the circumstances at the time these books were written. I am actually named after a woman who was appointed by God to be a judge over Israel. My best advice for you is to do your own research. Don’t let others do it for you.
@@deborahandrews9728 You: "he circumstances at the time these books were written." Gods word is timeless, same today as it was then.The scripture is very clear. NO woman was ever appointed to be a judge over a man. SINNER
Amen❣️I have learned that I am not my workmanship to make me like Jesus. I am HIS workmanship and I have to cease from my own work and enter into HIS rest. I just need to be “with” HIM. Every day is a gift and I don’t have to come with my own plan; I just need to be “with” HIM. I need to practice HIS presence. And in enjoy walking with HIM in every thing I do. Especially in my garden enjoying HIS amazing creation.
As a person who doesn’t share your belief system, I find so much value in these talks you have. Remaining as much myself as I am kind, light, and love today
God truly works in mysterious ways! I was reading/ studying the book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver this very morning. Thank you for this devotional and reminding me I truly need to have intimate time with my Lord and truly listen to Him. ❤
Love one another be happy for others because Jesus is looking over your shoulder and if you are like that you put a smile on his face iam everyday trying God bless
Thank you for sharing this beautiful devotional. God is great and he made you especially great too, Jess. I still would love to hear you singing in every video, moves my soul to the highest mountains and rings of the angels choir in my ears. In any case, you are loved. We are all loved and I ask God to bless each of us. May the spirit come to those new to their relationship with Jesus and starting the peaceful loving journey ahead. It is the greatest joy. May God bless each of you. 🌻
Thank you so much for this. I needed this so badly right at this moment. I have been so upset with myself for not sticking to my checklist. He is with me and know I am with Him always, I speak to Him all day everyday yet I really needed to hear and be reminded of this. You are awesome and I truly appreciate all you do. ❤️🙏
Thank you for devotional message. My blessings to you and your family. I thank you. Your message meant a lot to me. Love seeing you and listening to you you are God sent. Love from🇹🇹🇹🇹
Beautifully said, thank you for that sweet devotional. We are so blessed to be His children and heirs to the throne. I really appreciate the fact that you are so real with us and that you are willing to share your faith. Be blessed❤️
So eloquent. Thoughtful, giving, thought provoking. I’m guessing there are a lot of folks out here in UA-camland that are feeling motivated, chastised and empowered by the truth you speak. Thank you. Wonder how many believers have had their bar set to a higher level today? I know I have. Guess I need to walk out what that means to me, huh?

♫I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses,

None other has ever known♫

I was trying to figure out the words. Thank you for expressing so eloquently. I also appreciate the message and faith from Jess and family, though my path is not the same.
Great word! Thank you so much for sharing. This 65 year old gal needed to be reminded.😊
Thank you Jesus , for using your servant to speak truth. Her words spoke to my heart today.
God has TRULY used you with this Vlog episode in ways you’ll never know on this side of heaven, Jessica. 💕 May God bless & keep you, cause His light to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
He never said the law was done away with though. But it should be through a circumcised heart that we hear the words of Moses and obey. Messiah never taught against them.
He said they erred in the SCRIPTURE not knowing the SCRIPTURE. The SCRIPTURE that He was speaking of was the TaNaK. The NT would not be written for decades later. The NT all from the OT.
He will not accept lukewarm lawless and the NT says so.
Here’s an example of what we do not understand and what satan has made backwards in what we believe because he wants us to be lawless and lukewarm. He is a deceiver and uses the truth and make it a wrong understanding to deceive people.
You are going down the road and you go through a red light and an officer pulls you over and gives you a citation.
Now you are under the law and the law is against you for disobeying the law.
So only One can pay this debt, so He says I am paying your debt but I will only do it this once, I’m paying it with my very life, my very blood to cover the nakedness/ shame of the sin.
This is my grace that I allow you to be free from the law, so He says Go and Sin No More! Do not trample the blood!
So now you are free from the law, your penalty and debt is paid!
Do you now go disobey His Holy Law or obey it?
He will not allow lukewarm or lawlessness in His house. He wants passion for the Holy Word.
Abraham OBEYED and it was counted as righteousness. He believed and trusted YHWH. Even the demons believe and tremble.
We have circumcised hearts to obey.
If we do anything through coercion of man, then it’s not through conviction of a circumcised ( cut the meat/ in covenant) heart.
His Holy Days of Lev 23 IS His plan of salvation and marriage covenant to His bride. They are important to know.
The armor is not Roman soldier garb, it is the priests garments and there’s a reason for wearing them.
The leaders are supposed to be teaching the Word, Messiah is the living Word/ the TaNaK.
The disciples obeyed the TaNaK. They even showed up for the Holy Days and Paul did nazarite vows which offerings include animal sacrifice.
Acts 21 and Acts 18.
Zachariah 14 shows animal sacrifice will continue in the 1000 year reign. 3 times all nations must show up for the Holy Days or they will get NO rain on their crops. None.
Zacchaeus paid back anyone he had caused to be undone 4 fold. It’s the law of paying back double.
It is going the extra mile with them. It’s giving the extra garment which is their bedding to keep them warm at night.
He never changed. Read 1 Corinthians 10 slowly,
We were taught a mixed gospel and He abhors mixing.
He wants a pure clean bride, no whoring or mixing at all.
It must be from a circumcised heart though. You’ll notice that they told the new converts in I think Acts 15 :20-21 to do the laws, stop drinking the blood and stop fornicating, AND THEN they will hear Moses being preached in the synagogues.
This is because anything that we do to obey the laws, it must come from a thoroughly circumcised heart through conviction and not coercion by man. They cannot just simply become members.
And they don’t come as they are. There must be a repentance from the sins we are doing. If the fruit of the repentance is not there and we obey do not obey from a deep conviction, then we are lawless and lukewarm and we will he spewed from His mouth. Do not be fooled.
There is obedience. Everyone has rules for their home.
Read 1 John 2 and James(Jacob) Deuteronomy 6 and know the Holy days and what they mean as He is Vick g them to is to understand His Covenant.
Bring cleansed alters for the sacrifice, He does not want filthy alters.
We were supposed to leave our gift at the alter and go physically make amends for our sin to anyone we had caused to be undone in any way shape or form. Sometimes we cannot do this. Like Paul killed true believers and it was always a burden on his heart though he knew he had been forgiven.
And Paul never feared death and rejoiced in persecutions. This is how we are also to be. Stop sinning and we will look forward to the birthing of death into Messiahs arms.
Much Shalom(completeness, perfectness and wholeness) who’s circumcised minds and hearts are continuously on Him.
There’s a reason YaH is gracious unto us. It’s not because we ignore His Holy Laws. They should be graded upon our hearts, they are how to Ahabah one another and Ahabah Him.
What the church teaches has not helped, they do not forsake their sins ( trampling His blood with lukewarmness ) and the wolves took over.
They accept the sin of the people read more of the word if we think there are not rules and laws and instructions. But they must be from a full belly of Who He is. He is the Holy Word.
Adultery fills the minds and dreams of men and they think they are forever forgiven. People serve themselves, read the ones in the wilderness and what they complained of, it was sin. When we lose it all will we complain or Trust YaH? How many days will you go without water and food without complaint?
Read Job 38 and 1 Corinthians 10.
Messiah is the YHWH of the OT.
Lawlessness and lukewarmness will not be in His kingdom. But yes He wants love. But clean love that is within His boundaries.
We obey every word that proceeds out of His mouth, keep His ordinances and guard them, hear His voice. Write them ALL on the tablets of your heart. You can live without food n drink but you cannot live without His Commandments in your heart. Deuteronomy 6.
When He takes all of everything that we own away p, what will we do? When we are starving will we eat the pig n mouse, are you still clean and Holy? No! You must repent and obey Him! Do not use drug sorcery pharmaceuticals and obey Him fully! He hates and abhors lukewarmness and lawlessness! To Love Him is to obey ALL OF HIS commandments. 1John 2
Do not be fooled. We must fully passionately want to be within His walls.
Thank you Jess, for taking us all by the hand, and sitting us down together, at Jesus feet. We all got to hear Him, through you.
Oh Jess, your devotionals hit my heart right where it needs.
I am pregnant with my 4th baby and so many things you said comforted me and made me feel so encouraged. God has used you to bless my life so richly.
Jess I so appreciate you valuing your relationships with people that have different beliefs than you have. That’s why I listen to you because I feel welcome just the way I am. In the past I would’ve seen the word devotional and clicked on by, But because I know you respect and welcome all I listened and I learned something. My house of worship is also my garden.
Gardening and getting my hands dirty is very meditative for me.
It esteems our Beloved Abba Father YHWH when we use His Name as you did here, Jess! His Word tells us this over and over. He wants us to remember Him, and remember His Name. HalleluYah! 💜💜
Jessica, this was as strong & beneficial a message as I’ve heard come out of any pulpit and I thank you for it.
Maybe all the preachers need to take their seat on a old board & rope swing!
Openness, honesty and a willing to accept others who think and believe differently is the key to civilized life.
Soooooooo needed to hear this. As someone who is entering my senior years with a son that has special needs, the demands can often push the sitting time with Jesus away. Needed to be reminded that I can be intimate with Jesus while I am preparing the daily meals & meds for my son (peanutbutter and jelly sandwich). Need to keep reminding myself of heart posture until it becomes the very way I live. Blessings Jess. He shines so brightly through you, Thank you for your willingness to be the vessel.
For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery all the nations were led astray.”
Ḥazon (Revelation) 18:23 TS2009
Food is the medicine, we should eat right, no GMOed foods, no grazon hay, no chemical toxins. No unclean, just eat seed bearing plants and just the Daniel diet, the body heals if you give it the nutrition to heal and obey the scriptures and seek and listen to YaH. Online the diet is called 80-10-10. Much Ahabah! May your son be healed.
This was such an on time anointed full of grace and wisdom devotional. He is exactly who He says He is and He loves us just as He says He does. I pray for grace to receive this devotional to all who heard. Blessings and love to you and your family
Thank you so much, Jess! Your words just wash over my parched soul. Your life is an open book and whether you are talking about gardens and homesteading or sharing a devotional, I see Jesus in you! Bless you!
At 55 yrs old; that is decidedly the best spent 35 minutes of my life. Thank you Jess....
Thanks, Jess - for sharing your faith! I truly believe that many of us strong women, whether we are homemakers or CEO’s, often relate to Martha - we are doers and don’t often allow ourselves to stop and sit quietly, like Mary. We see something that has to be done and we jump in. I have to ask myself, is my constant business a reflection of Him. Just finished studying 1 John - I love how John reminds us that if we constantly walk in the truth of God, there will be little difficulty for others to see Jesus in what we do. In his letter, John wrote with hope that the reader would eagerly seek fellowship with God, so sincerely, so intimately that we would know what it meant to “walk in the light, as He is in the light.” Keep on sharing both your life on your new property and your strength and obedience as a woman of God.
Amen ❤
Amen
Thank you for being a vessel that is being molded by the hands of our Lord and for your willingness to be shaped and to share His love.
❤️❤️❤️ reminds me of the old hymn “I Come To The Garden Alone”
This was excellent. He is with us in everything we do. Becoming aware of Him is so precious. His mercy is new every morning which makes looking forward a must.
Love this devotional. Not only is it bibically sound, but extremely insightful. Praise the Lord and God bless!
Thank you Jess for sharing. God bless and have an amazing day.
My favorite retort to some is "The sermon you live is so loud, I can't hear the sermon you're preaching". You, Jess, are a real sermon!
I needed this today. I pray often for him to lead me and I forget to be with him in each moment instead of select moments and intentional worship. Bless you and thank you Jessica. You're are such a beautiful person.
Jess, I found your channel last year when I was grieving the death of my father. You encouraged me to start a vegetable garden of my own. Watching my seeds take root also brought me back to regrowing my relationship with Jesus. Thank you for your generosity of spirit, you have a way of clearing a path when I over complicate things in my own mind. Bless you and your lovely family, from the west of Ireland x
The fact that you are completely out of that season and still felt called to tell about that testimony just proves that Jesus speaks through us when we allow Him. I needed this!!
Thank you for being humble and devoted.
Jessica thank you. Your word today was straight from the heart of God! I was slipping back imto condemnation because my Mom move in and I care for her. Since covid I also babysit weekdays for my 1 yr old grandson. I also have a garden to tend. I'm so busy but I meditate on the Lord while I'm working. I was starting to be frustrated when my morning time praying and reading is constantly interupted. I needed this very word today. I see the God in you. What an on time word. Thank you for you obedience and openness. I know that the Kingdom of God is "in" me and "in" you. God used you today. I love you! God bless you! A few years ago I was riding in my car to the store and this awesome worship song was playing. When I got to the store I didn't want to go in since the song was still playing and I was in the spirit of worship. Suddenly a small voice spoke and said "take me with you". You reminded me of that day Jess.
Thank you for sharing. I needed to hear what you said. Brought me to tears. God bless.
“Cease striving and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted upon the earth” Ps 46:10
Grateful for you sweet Jess. That was fire!
Thank you Jessica for sharing such profound words that help us realize the love God has for us.
God puts us in positions of dire need to drive us to His feet to meet the need. He does this until we discover that sitting at His feet is the end...not a means to an end. Need drives us to Jesus until we discover that being with Jesus is the goal. If we sit at His feet every morning on purpose, we will not be driven there by accident.
It is so refreshing to hear you speak like this!
❤
Thank you and bless you and your family with what you share with God's grace.
As I am listening to this devotional, I began questioning "How often have I been a 'Crazy Carnival Mirror' instead of being a true reflection of Christ"
Another perfect devotional because it is what I needed to hear today! Thank you Jess for being the Messenger for me today! The Divinity in me honors the Divinity in you! Namaste!
It's cool that He created us perfect and then placed us in a garden of all places and to care for animals... He speaks every time I am in my garden.
Thank you. Your words are just at the right time! 💙
I’ve completely changed the way I pray. 99% of my prayers are gratitude to God. One of the things I thank Him for every single day is His constant, profound presence in my life. Your words about that presence spoke directly to me. He was speaking through you, to me, this day. I know for sure that He hears me. ❤️
Yes! He is so faithful when I pray "Please let your presence be known to me today". Lately with these dark days I've been prompted to pray for him to let any lies be known to me, keep falsehoods away and it has increased my discernment so much.
Jess, thank you for sharing your heart in this way today.Your words really touched me.
Preachin’ my sermon sister... He is not willing that one should perish...He wants them all. Love. Father YHWH bless you and make His face to shine upon you... In Yeshua’s name.
What a blessing your devotional vlogs are to me. Thank you so much for sharing when God speaks to you and then through you to us!! ❤️
So glad to see a devotional on this morning. It’s like a little nugget that popped up this morning. Thank You 🙏 ❤️
If it’s one thing I truly believe, is that God uses each and everyone of us as his vessels to send out messages to those that need them. This beautiful
message was received by many. Not all needed it, but those that did, got their message. And yet, a seed was planted in those that listened. Thank you. Thank you for not being afraid to share such heartwarming words. For we know it brings ridicule. And if they come, we must pray for them and send them blessings. Hopefully, one day they will feel the love they are missing and his favor. Thanks again Jess. Sending you and your entire family blessings. ❤️🙏❤️
Many years ago, a wise woman once told me , when I felt I was not doing everything for God that I should, that raising my children was exactly what I should be doing for that season. Bless you for sharing your faith and lessons learned . You said it beautifully!
You and your family are such a blessing,I praise God for your willingness to share your faith.
Oh! I love your devotionals. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️🙏🏻🥰
love does not take offense, love is not jealous.... so why is God a Jealous God and takes offense often? Why does he demand that his followers fear him? Is this really a loving God?
@@bipslone8880 Hello, when we read the translation of the Bible we have to consider the fact that it was translated from Hebrew and Greek, which has such a rich background in their meaning. I believe the word fear when it was translated really meant to reverence or respect. Like the word repent simply means to change ones mind. There are a couple of books that were put together to help us more fully understand the true, richer meaning of words that, at the time of translating, didn’t really have a very good English counterpart. The Strongs Concordance is one of them and is free online. I hope this helps you a little bit in understanding the Bible and why it was written/translated the way it was by the King James scholars. I am no expert, but I remember having that exact same concern you voiced. Have an awesome day!
@@deborahandrews9728 1 Timothy 2:11 "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
Are you trying to play around with Gods words?
@@bipslone8880 no, again you have to look at the circumstances at the time these books were written. I am actually named after a woman who was appointed by God to be a judge over Israel. My best advice for you is to do your own research. Don’t let others do it for you.
@@deborahandrews9728 You: "he circumstances at the time these books were written."
Gods word is timeless, same today as it was then.The scripture is very clear. NO woman was ever appointed to be a judge over a man. SINNER
G'day Jess, great devotion thanks for sharing and God bless you guys. 🦘👍
Jess, I am an older lady who loves your devotionals because you are truly one of God's messengers. Better known as an angel.
Thank you so much for this word today! It was a blessing!
Thank you so much for sharing 🌻
It spoke to my heart ♥️
Totally concur. God is keeping me alive in my garden. Thanks for your thoughts.
You, my sister, are marvelous! YHVH marvels at His design of your heart. He sparkles through you.
Amen❣️I have learned that I am not my workmanship to make me like Jesus. I am HIS workmanship and I have to cease from my own work and enter into HIS rest. I just need to be “with” HIM. Every day is a gift and I don’t have to come with my own plan; I just need to be “with” HIM. I need to practice HIS presence. And in enjoy walking with HIM in every thing I do. Especially in my garden enjoying HIS amazing creation.
I've had soooo many "Ah ha!" moments watching your devotionals. Can't get enough of them ❤
Thank you for showing the way to get through the fog that I’ve been in for so very long.💜
As a person who doesn’t share your belief system, I find so much value in these talks you have. Remaining as much myself as I am kind, light, and love today
I often wonder if you truly know how many people you touch with your words. You're such a beautiful tool that God uses to help us. ❤💜
God truly works in mysterious ways! I was reading/ studying the book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver this very morning. Thank you for this devotional and reminding me I truly need to have intimate time with my Lord and truly listen to Him. ❤
Love one another be happy for others because Jesus is looking over your shoulder and if you are like that you put a smile on his face iam everyday trying God bless
Beautifully spoken. Thank you for being a willing vessel of His love and truth.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful devotional. God is great and he made you especially great too, Jess. I still would love to hear you singing in every video, moves my soul to the highest mountains and rings of the angels choir in my ears. In any case, you are loved. We are all loved and I ask God to bless each of us. May the spirit come to those new to their relationship with Jesus and starting the peaceful loving journey ahead. It is the greatest joy. May God bless each of you. 🌻
Thank you so much for this. I needed this so badly right at this moment. I have been so upset with myself for not sticking to my checklist. He is with me and know I am with Him always, I speak to Him all day everyday yet I really needed to hear and be reminded of this. You are awesome and I truly appreciate all you do. ❤️🙏
You are truly a beautiful soul. You are a joy and a blessing. ❤️
I cant thank you enough for this! You are such a blessing and this word is food for my soul!
Thank you for devotional message. My blessings to you and your family. I thank you. Your message meant a lot to me. Love seeing you and listening to you you are God sent. Love from🇹🇹🇹🇹
I needed this...thank you! Your words are so comforting to me...
Thank you so much for this Jess.
Thank you Jesus for bringing me this message through Jess. A message that you knew I needed to hear.
Amen dear sister! Thank you for the fellowship…I bless you too!!!
Your devotionals are such a blessing to me! Thank you! God's timing is perfect!
Beautifully worded and in a way we can all understand. AMEN!
Thank you for your Sunday devotional ❤️
Thank you for this and all your devotional videos. They really help.
Beautifully said, thank you for that sweet devotional. We are so blessed to be His children and heirs to the throne. I really appreciate the fact that you are so real with us and that you are willing to share your faith. Be blessed❤️
At the feet of Jesus is the best way to start our day🙌
Spot on Jess. He has Blessed you with his truth. Thank you for sharing His truth with others.
This is why I love to garden! Nature equals God and I love it!
So eloquent. Thoughtful, giving, thought provoking. I’m guessing there are a lot of folks out here in UA-camland that are feeling motivated, chastised and empowered by the truth you speak. Thank you. Wonder how many believers have had their bar set to a higher level today? I know I have. Guess I need to walk out what that means to me, huh?
Thankyou Jess....He loves us so much for who we are in Him. I sometimes forget that. I need Him every minute.
This morning I wasn’t feeling the sermon at my church. You have spoken to me sooo eloquently. Thank you for making my Sunday spiritual 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Jess for this beautiful devotional. I really needed this today ❤️
Oh my, I did not even realize how much I needed this until you began to speak of Martha. I sincerely thank you ❤
I was so encouraged by this devotional. I give a hearty AMEN! Thanks for sharing!
