I think I can be more honest when my mom asks me how I'm doing when I'm feeling some guilt over lust. I can open up and tell her how I'm feeling and maybe she can help me as well. I can also be more honest about my relationship with God with my family in general.❤
Yes lust doesn't last .Try to think of something else look ice cream haha...play some nice gospel music.And just open a Bible page and read. I am a mother and know this is a time to find love maybe marriage .It is hormones usually. Normal. I hope you find a good church group with friend of the same faith to show you that us is normal. But in the wrong crowd with no dictation it can go off track.God is good.Have a good day
I can be honest by being more vulnerable. Often my dishonesty is not to protect others but to protect myself. I’ll lie to protect my image in other people’s eyes, or to make it seem like I have it all together. Sometimes lies aren’t even verbal, they can be physical when you put a smile on when you’re really going through something. Sometimes pride can blind me from seeking out help when I need it so I need to work on that. Thanks!
Very true. I have been dealing with that a lot so much to a point where the question "How R U?" was hard to answer. It felt like i was lying every time.
“God never broke his word but his word was broken “…that right there mannnn…. I’m being honest with myself that I cannot lose the weight I need to own my own. I’m food weak and I’ve convinced myself I can start when I want to…I can’t ..I need to trust that Jesus is my portion and filling up on his strength and his word will give me the wisdom, fortitude, and self discipline to drop this weight…. I’m not strong enough to do it from my own flesh…
I Can be more honest in the way that I love. The way that I live. The way that I receive. I will be more honest in they that I love, live, receive, and forgive. Thank you for a wonderful message may God bless you always.
Thank you for teaching in such a way that you even babes in Christ can understand✨❤️🙏🏾🌏🌎🌍 How can I be more honest? I am believing a prayer prayed that the Lord that has delivered me from people pleasing in advance. I can be more honest by not allowing the fear of disappointing others, to shape how I respond to them and/or situations. I’m learning that while it’s okay to consider others, it’s not okay to constantly shove my needs to the back. I think for me, the key is focusing on being pleasing in God’s sight, rather than focusing so much on what man thinks.
I can be more honest by opening up about my ongoing battle with lust and a lying tongue. This could not have come at a better time, as lately I have been trying to deal with my compulsive lying and I am honestly struggling but I will not stop trying or being vulnerable so Jesus can help me.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
I can be more honest first with God. I many times make commitments without thinking when a verse in the Bible hits me or in worship/fellowship with Him. They later turn my to burdens because I made the commitment, not God and so I have to sustain and complete it by my power. I'll learn to resist the urge to prove myself to God. I'll tell Him where I am about doing something I feel I should and trust in His Grace and direction for it to be done or not. Secondly to myself: I make many promises to myself and end up failing to fulfill most them because I made them in a moment of passion and either overburdened myself or trusted in my power. Same as before I'll consider all I want to do and trust God to help me do whichever is possible. When I feel overwhelmed by any of these I'll put my trust back in God who can never fail and let Him help me.
I can be more honest when i look to God by not hiding my thoughts from Him because He can see those too and by not suppressing my feelings and thoughts but bringing them to Him
The Lord brought this video to me , thank you for all you guys do ! Can you guys pray for me , I won’t new character, I want to be like my Heavenly Father and be transparent and true all the days of my life , I need deliverance 🙏🏾
Blessings family, This 1st episode I tuned into blessed my soul, over the last two days I was looking back at previous experiences and relationships and how I struggled with just being honest, saying less, etc. Thank you Blessing me on today, God bless you and your family.
Great word guys. I can be more honest by just telling people the hard truths and standing by my word. Not allowing my feeling of people pleasing to get in the way of doing His will, and staying firm
All glroy to Jesus Christ. Repent and have faith in Jesus Christ. God bless you and your family and your loved ones in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ❤🙏🏾
I truly love this message. But I wanted to ask in regards to being more honest and making your yeses yes and your no no’s. What if you are a people pleaser and when you want to make your No no you make it a yes to make them happy. Because when Alex told the story about Amos and the milkshakes he sometimes caves in and says yes because maybe he just wants to see Amos happy or maybe Amos is to hard to say no to.
Thanks Alex and Lokelani. I realized I'm not honest sometimes because of pride. Cause I don't want to be shamed. But Christians shouldn't seek pride, or fear shame.
I have difficulty being honest when it does not help or benefit me in life. I tend to lie to get out of legal issues or problems in life. Is this wrong? Is it wrong to swing the truth to be half truth only? What if I tell a half truth and lose something important in my life?
I know this question wasn’t addressed to me but I’d say yes it is. A “white lie” is something the culture has invented to sidestep honesty (like Alex said in this video). It’s a way to abdicate responsibility for speaking truth by trivializing a falsehood. In reality, there’s no such thing as a white lie. Any lie is sinful because it separates us from the Father. Hope this helps. God bless!
I don't want to be that guy but I want so say as respectfully as possible, that I think that Lokelani should cover up more and be more modest with the way she dresses, I hope this helps and if I'm wrong I ask whoever reads this to correct me.
Jephnah in the Old Testament made a vow to kill the first thing that comes out of his if God helped him win the war. He won. The first thing that walked out of house was his daughter. So he had to kill his only daughter because of it 😢. I believe this is why Jesus don’t make any vows. I also think this is why God want obedience over sacrifice.
I think I can be more honest when my mom asks me how I'm doing when I'm feeling some guilt over lust. I can open up and tell her how I'm feeling and maybe she can help me as well. I can also be more honest about my relationship with God with my family in general.❤
Love that. God bless you in your journey 🤍
Go ahead with it brodie! Be free from sin🎉
James 5:16. Satan only has power over the things in your life that you hold in the dark!

Thanks Alex and Lokelani. I realized I'm not honest sometimes because of pride. Cause I don't want to be shamed. But Christians shouldn't seek pride, or fear shame.
Great video guys
Anyone figuring out what life is?
To fear GOD and keep HIS commandments
Amen❤
Amen 🙏 ❤
❤🙏🏼
Love you
I think I can be more honest I if I just admit that I am incapable. I know that I can pretend to be tough sometimes
If I am honest I will admit that abuses from the "Christian" community caused me great psychological disturbances I haven't and won't recover from
I have difficulty being honest when it does not help or benefit me in life. I tend to lie to get out of legal issues or problems in life. Is this wrong? Is it wrong to swing the truth to be half truth only? What if I tell a half truth and lose something important in my life?
Thank you! And God bless!
I do have a question though. Is a white lie a sin?

@@CJDavis-js7mr thank you so much!! I told a white lie a while back but it honestly felt so wrong to do it...
Can you say what translation are y'all using mainly?
What about Vows in marriage?
Luke 18:17
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Jesus is Lord
, but during what day, and time was Christ crucified?
😮
I’m wondering if doing like, “yeah I did do that, nah I’m just kidding” in a joking way is a form of dishonesty and sin or just a playful joke
Joke.
I don't want to be that guy but I want so say as respectfully as possible, that I think that Lokelani should cover up more and be more modest with the way she dresses, I hope this helps and if I'm wrong I ask whoever reads this to correct me.

Does the guy ever stop talking? Let the lady speak!! Dang!
