    Am a 10-year-old who thinks I can start worshipping the Lord at a young age, Since am going into High school very soon I think it's going be hard to balance God and be more disciplined with Him so I decided to start reading my Bible and when I started reading I learned more things so Thank you very much for making this video😁💖🌺

    As a pretty much fourteen year old struggling with home life and solitude, this was an important video for me to watch. I can't go out for prayer walks due to my home life and where I am however I *can* wake up early and go sit in the garden and pray and I think that's enough for me. I'm so glad I was saved, man. Praise the Lord

Over the past 20 years my health has declined and now instead of reading scripture, I listen to Grace for Purpose or Grace Wins morning prayer. My mind is on our Lord and it blesses me knowing God sees our struggles and knows our heart and will always make a way for us.
    Discipline your mind and body while you are young and God will reward you. 🙏🏼

    Thanks Ashley, I'm a 70 Y/O woman. I have some discipline, and placing God first thing every day is crucial for me. ☺️ However after listening to your message inspired me even more. At this age, I still want to thrive and succeed, but most of all, to please My Lord and walk His roads. But many times, I "gave" myself permission to be lazy because I'm older. Your message reminded me that as long I fulfill my priorities, it's ok to do nothing sometimes....as long I walk with Jesus✨️🙏✨️

    I'm so guilty if trying to tackle too many things at once. I get frustrated, I fail and get down and give up and laze about the house. But God has really been working with me these past few months and I've been slowly adding in habits instead of trying to cram a ton of them into a single day and it has been incredible. I've been learning so much about patience with God and with myself. Thank you for this video!

    Sorry long comment!
    I have to wake up at 4:30 am 😢 Monday to Friday for my secular job I’m a First Lady Pastors wife and is at my best interest to seek the lord early But have to be in the road at 5am to be at work at 6pm to come out at 3pm, drive a hour 1/2 getting home at 4:20 running to get dinner at the table by 6pm then get ready and on the road by 6:20 for service at 7pm to come home 9:30pm to do the same next day. So with that being said goals and routines are going to depend on lifestyle, mines is super busy and crazy there’s million things in between this that I didn’t mention, the best time for me, is in the way to work to listen to the word or a teaching and pray on the road and wen I get home between 4:20-5:30 I’ll pray some more
    Is hard but God gives us strength, Pray for pastors this is not easy , and is so real Especially wen they have secular jobs and also running a church 🙏🙏🙏 and then Saturday and Sunday I can’t even contemplate to get up
    At 4 or 5 so working on it maybe like you said. Something more realistic like 6 or 7 am ❤

I ordered the Bible that has the certain passages per day because I feel like my relationship with him is falling. I never knew what to read. I tried opening to a random page and 30 seconds later I go on my phone. I never feel like it but yet I’m here sad over loosing my relationship with him. So I’m gonna need a little work!!

    Girls, look into cycle synching. Our bodies are different EVERY single day. Usually before your period you will need extra calories and feel a bit more tired. After that, your energy goes back up. The cycle synching method (Alissa Vitti is great) changed my live, I can eat all I want throughout the month anddo the right excersices, I don't feel bad when I sleep a bit extra because I am nourishing my body. Great video!

      *~Hot Tears of Jesus, YAHUSHUA in Heaven~*
      [ Apostle/prophet]: I attempted to answer, instead tongues tore out of me! But they were different, urgent tongues; hot tears fell on my face. Then the RUACH ha KODESH [Holy Spirit ] showed me [Jesus] YAHUSHUA. He was knelt on the ground. He is facing Gabriel and he has his face covered with his hands and he is weeping. Sobbing so hard. He spoke and I can hear these words. The sobs tore out of me as if it was HE weeping through me. The tears I let dry on my face, so hot they were. Knowing somehow these weren't fleshly tears but tears coming from YAHUSHUA. I can still feel them on my face as though they were dried there and stayed.
      These are the words the RUACH ha KODESH now puts back into my spirit for I am ordered to, "Tell them MY Child, tell them for ME." 1/24/98 given to this Child, Warrior, Bride of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH.
      * * * * * * *
      *Although I rejoice at coming to take MY Children out of this wicked* world, to carry MY Bride home in MY arms, I weep and I sob for I am torn in half. So many will be left, so many that call themselves MINE and yet MY Spirit is not in them. They will be left to suffer the wrath of Almighty God YAHUVEH! Tell them MY daughter, tell them for ME. Warn them. Many will listen and obey this prophecy. I weep for the churches that are overflowing and people stand in line to get in the churches.
      *Yet MY RUACH ha KODESH (Holy Spirit) is not in these churches.*
      These people call themselves mine, and they don't know ME. They are the church of the pretenders. Tell them MY child, tell them for ME. They will be left to suffer the wrath of Almighty God YAHUVEH if they don't REPENT! What a tragedy. Tell them MY child, tell them for ME [More].
      ''Return to Me'' ~~> Return to Holiness, Return to serve ME.

I've been a Christian for over 10 years and I still don't feel like getting in the Word everyday but I do. I've exercised for just as long and I'm not always excited to get on that treadmill but guess what I do and BAM, I feel great afterwards. I love all the steps you shared.

  • @thoranpernia

    I came across your video a couple days ago and marked it to watch later, but I guess the Lord had other plans because this vido kept showing up.
    Your first point about leaning into grace really stood out to me. And something we all need to do daily.
    Father Mike Schmitz said something in one of his sermons that really struck me which can be tied into discipline with reading the bible and spending time with the Lord. He said that every time you put off prayers, or reading the bible, or going to Mass; what you're really saying is no to the Lord. That whatever you are doing instead, you are telling God that it is more important than Him.
    Those words Father Mike said really struck home for me. I never want to say no to God. I never want to disappoint Him. So every time I feel like I don't want to read my bible, or I don't have the energy to prayer or do my daily devotional, I remember those words and ask myself, do I really want to show God that this thing I would rather do is more important then Him. Those words have helped me become more disciplined in my faith.

    Thank you SO MUCH for this!!! Discipline is something I’ve been struggling with probably since the summer of 2021. I have motivation to work out and read the Bible, but not to pray and wake up early. It’s been so hard for me to wake up early recently and I’ve been sleeping through every single one of my alarms. But thank God there’s grace!!!

  • @jwillis97

    This video was super helpful thank you Ashley! You literally hit all of the goals I've been struggling to become more disciplined in: spending more time with God, working out and waking up early (and amongst other things lol). I've been struggling on how to make it all fit, especially in the mornings. But thank you for bringing the realistic pov to it, you can't do everything. Prioritizing is key! I want to wake up earlier so I can take more advantage of my days and ease more into my day and not feel rushed when I'm going to start work. Discipline was my word for 2023 and I'll definitely be carrying that into 2024.

I don’t always feel like putting God before my social media , or sleeping in. , or “me” time … yet you help remind me that TRULY I want Him more than those things! Other UA-camrs draw me toward myself and my own self discipline… but you help me run to the Father!!! Love you Ashley !! Thank you for helping me!

    I’ve had aura migraines since 12 years old. Society has taught me to keep it on the down-low. The most debilitating part is not being able to see for awhile and it affecting my speech and clarity. I’m blessed to have discovered my triggers though and can avoid them without too much hastle. My triggers are fasting (even if I’m drinking plenty of water, stress, neck misalignment (so I do yoga to combat and professional massage when needed), too much sugar, and sometimes red wine.

    What you shared in this video is so true.
    Most of the time, the things of the spirit don't come with ease.
    The enemy in a way knows the power in the things of the spirit, like praying, fasting, or getting up early to do the things that would help us get better in our spiritual life, so he puts up things that would stop us from doing them.
    My take out here is that we must be intentional, pray to God for help, and take action.
    Thank you so much, Ashley.

    God always finds a way to give me what I need to succeed when I need it. I’ve never seen one of your videos and this popped up on my feed. My prayer for the new year was for God to help me get back on track with life: my routines, my time management, my homeschooling routine EVERYTHING. I was going good for quite a bit however, I did what you said, “set 5 million alarms” so to speak. One big disruption later (I had to go to a wedding out of town that involved staying a night) and BOOM! What I was doing kinda fell apart and now I’m 💯 waking up at 8:30 and getting bummed! Thank you for having such wonderful God filled advice! And for reminding me of God’s grace and His desire for us to succeed in Him! My motivation for this year is Jeremiah 29:11 and your video fits right in! God bless!
