Where do you store your clothes and how you keep your car so clean? Because the people I no that live in their car like me. My clothes in it. My bed in it. And you all made up. I'm just wondering How you do it?❤🙏🏻🙏🏽
People have storages for their personal items, except for a few in the trunk. Having a gym membership to take a shower and do your skin routines etc will do wonders. Most people also get car washes and vacuum out their cars. Most gas stations have free vacuums. Just because a person is living in their car doesn't mean they have to look bad. You can still take care of your hygiene, wear make-up if you want, and look the part. Trust me, I've been there. I wish you well.
Thank you, I am going to do a video car tour on this very soon because this question has been asked quite a bit. But basically, I am a minimalist so I have very few items and have purposely tried to keep my belongings to what is needed. I don’t have a bed and use the front seat for sleeping. All items are well organized in the trunk, with a few necessities in the back seat. I don’t like clutter and I try my best to maintain cleanliness in any environment that I’m in. ☺️🙏🏽
I don't know how you wound up in my feed but this is the 2nd time I've seen you but this time I clicked on one of your videos...now I'm on my 5th one. I replying to this one in hopes that you will see this. I just wanted to say that you are a beautiful representative for the Lord. Your light is bright and I believe this situation that you're in is temporary. God is using you right now but this is the start of something wonderful. Your channel will flourish and you are going to be successful with your business. I am so happy I found you. We need more light in these dark times. ❤
Aw... what a lovely, and kind comment 🥰 You sound like a sweetheart! I agree with you too, we get a sense that this lady is a God-fearing woman, and her light shines bright indeed so no doubt that this is the start of something wonderful for her. The Lord is taking her through this path for a reason, and like you, I pray that she's going to be successful (and find herself a lovely place to live in thanks to this channel). May God greatly bless you, Cherie Michelle, for your positive input - I'm sure that your supportive comment made her day 🌻
I see it! ☺️ Thank you, very kind words. I see how God is doing something greater than me and I’m very grateful to love Him with my whole heart ❤️ ☺️🙏🏽
My Sister, You will make it; It,s only a test, Hold on your change will come! Listen to: Shirley Caesar: He,s Working It Out For You, Brenda Waters, Victory, I,ve found that Gospel Music helps lift my spirit, I hope you will get thru this. Keep the Faith, I,m praying for you
@InBetweenBlessings He really is my sista hang in there it's only a matter of time things are gona change am talking out of experience and as a testimony that he will never live us nor forsake us its just a process ♥️
I went through a similar situation with a church regarding a job that was open. I put in the application, did the interview and gave them my resume. They told me that I would be notified within a week and given my situation there was a good chance that I would get it. I was homeless and struggling but I was trying my hardest to be better. By the end of the day after I had my interview I got an email saying that they have selected another person. Turns out, they hired the pastor's daughter. Eventually all the pastors children we're hired into the church and it became a family business. Mind you that the church is fairly big and well-known within the city I live in. I was also told about the benevolence application and when I applied, I got an email asking me where my tithes and offerings were. And am I still member because they don't have an updated payment record. I was so hurt because I was an active member in the choir, teaching the literacy class, in the singles ministry etc. I got more help from people in the street outside of the church. My prayers are with you.
More and more churches are interested in keeping count of who pay titles and offering than the wellbeing of its members. I do not know if you are still a member there, but I have always told myself, the first time a church confronts me about titles and offering will be the last time they see me. I am on my way to heaven, and I don't need the church to help me get there, in Jesus' name!
@@barbarapeller No, I'm no longer at that church. This was in 2016 and I was struggling, between homes and I had asked the church to pray for me because I was going into a major surgery that was very risky. When I asked for prayer one of the ministers emails me back and asked me was I still a member there cause they don't see my tithes and offering record. Well, I went into my major surgery, but that was the last time I willingly stepped foot into that church. I did go back last year in 2023 only because my godmother passed and they had her funeral there and I was on program. But I haven't been back since before then or after. I'm doing so much better now, but when people say they've experienced church hurt, I believe them and don't try to make an excuse for the church. Firsthand experience here.
@@poet82n Thank you so much for sharing and I totally understand. I pray you are in a good place right now and do not hold any grudges against the church, God will deal with it. Sometimes God will allow us to get in a situation only show us or remind us, to lean on and depend on HIM! Yes, we need one another when we are weak and in despair, the Bible states, we should bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2), but we cannot always (not in today's society) find that in church.
I am 68 years old and have been church ALLL of my life. Not only in church, I worked in multiple areas of the church, I started singing in the choir (couldn't hold a note) because mother made us. I went for singing to ushering, to assistant secretary to secretary of the church and Sunday School, to assistant Mission leader, to evangelism, to nurse's aide to the pastor to assisting in the kitchen serving during funerals. I started out in a little church in MS, to two mega churches in Dallas and not ONCE have I ever asked a penny from the church. I always participated in titles and offering, to whatever funding going on, even buying Christmas gifts for secret Santa families at the church. I said all of that to get to here. I have lost all hope in churches, I put zero trust in pastors, yes, even my own. I still attend church, I still give as I have always done, so why do I feel this way? The only thing I have asked was for my pastor to come when I called him (only twice in the almost twenty years at this church) when I was very sick, didn't ask for anything else, and he never came, he sent someone else. I was taught in my younger years, that the church should be the first place you should be able to go to for HELP! Jesus established it, where the sick can be healed, and He meant healed from whatever a person is dealing with. The Bible also speaks, in the latter days, there will be lovers of SELF, a great falling away, you can't tell a Christain from the world. I am very disappointed in this church, although not surprised. I had waist length hair and three weeks ago, I cut it all off. I made a vow before God that every time I looked in the mirror at the head, it would be a reminder to put ALL MY TRUST IN HIM AND HIM ONLY! I wish you the best and let me say, I know how it feels to feel alone in a full world, but God is able, and He is faithful, keep trusting in Him even when you can't trace Him. P.S. Forgive me for the long post but your video, got to me.
Hey! I'm Prophetess Kennethia and I'm homeless too in Asheville. I was attending a church in Greensboro when I lost my apartment, and they didn't help at all! Single with 2 kids! God moved me to Asheville after I lost my apartment, and we lived in a hotel or slept in our car until 2 weeks ago. I ran into a pastor here in Asheville over the Red Cross where we were at, and he placed us in a women's and children's shelter. It's very nice here, and the people are God loving people who are willing to help us get back on our feet. Thankfully, I have a good teaching job, so I'm just saving to get a place next year. I'll be praying that your situation gets better very soon. 💜 Lastly, God has directed me to start a women's and children's ministry built off my own suffering and process.
@@kennethiacgilliam ptophetesd? Hope you're just using that as an alias and not literally. If you are using it literally, you will reap what you so for doing so.
Right. And this reminds me of Eyanla Vanzant . . In the meantime.. we are blessed because it is the journey and the growth in these moments. So yummy 😊
Church leaders' goals these days are to get their church membership role as big as possible with the most glamorous facilities that the members can finance. Caring for its members and the community that builds it up comes last. God commanded the church to care for the sick, widowed, elderly, imprisoned, downtrodden, and especially its own members. Also God uses your brothers and sisters in Christ to uplift you, not only in prayer but as an answer to those prayers. So they can miss me with the "we'll be praying for you." I stopped tithing to "the building fund" a while ago and started giving that money directly to people who really need it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. SPOT ON. THOSE IN MOST NEED ARE NOT GENERALLY THOSE WHO ARE MEMBERS AND GIVE THEIR MONTHLY TYTHE. BUS MINISTRY SHOULD BE LIKE CLOCK WORK. A PERSON SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEG A RIDE TO CHURCH. IF THE CHURCH HAS A NURSERY. IF THE CHURCH HAS A ROOM OR PARSONAGE. NO BROTHER OR SISTER SHOULD BE WITHOUT SHELTER OR RESPITE IN THIS SEASON.
Sorry to hear about your interaction with the church. For the most part, many churches only help their members and that is limited. They do not help to solve the problem. I am not criticizing but speaking truth. The smaller churches usually do more than the larger churches. Just know, God is a God of his word. He will do what he says, but it will be in his own time. Sometimes, it seems like he is too slow in answering our prayers but if we wait patiently for him; he will work miracles in our lives. I know it’s hard to wait when we are in a difficult place. God sees you and he hears you. Wait on him.❤❤
Have you considered truck driving? I was homeless. And I've noticed that People in non profits are the worst people. I went to prime inc trucking school. I think they are starting at $900 a week just for training. But there are other companies . They pay for you to get there if you're out of state. It might be a good opportunity for you. I'm feminine girly girl. And if i can do i anybody can. People are shocked that i drive a semi. The CDL license has helped me to get back on my feet. I saved $20,000 in a year by living in the truck. And im not even good with money. I got an apartment, car and i never looked back;;
@@wildonez3076 Wonderful testimony, unfortunately I’m not good at driving overly sized vehicles and I prefer not to drive at night as much as possible. Such an amazing journey for you. ☺️🙏🏽
Hey, I’m sorry you are in this situation and that this happened to you. I was somewhat in your position. And I went to church for help. A lot of churches don’t really care or they don’t really have the resources to help. I’ll pray that another church or anyone will help. All it takes is one person with the right resources
Man will disappoint but God never disappoints. He has extraordinary plans for your life, just continue to trust and leave everything in His mighty hands. Continued blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are an amazing person and God has not forgotten u u have shown such resilience, in spite of your circumstances, and that's God living on the inside of you, giving you wisdom and knowledge to do and knowing what to do, and what step to take keep listening to it.
Churches are afraid of people in need. I was active in church, a tither ect. When I needed help there was crickets.... At any rate, I'm finished...Scripture says to not tell a person it is well and not help....ugh... Sorry you experienced this...Your eyes were opened that's a blessing...
We live in a society that believes there is shame and blame attached to being impoverished, abused, sick or homeless . Unfortunately the church is part of this society. We have become a name it, claim it faith. If anyone is struggling then, like Job, they will be questioned, accused and judged. Another part of why a church doesn't help is that suffering is unattractive and they simply don't want to be associated with the real. May God Bless you ❤. I've been where you're at. Keep your eyes on God. Nothing and no one else will give you hope, comfort or salvation.
@@dawnd.5290 Truth you tell. But so many are deceived and don't know from where Christianity and it's divided churches originated. The decrption is a great stumbling block and snare.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been hurt by a church years ago. And I realize that of course humans are imperfect. But I think since we don’t know the whole story of God‘s plan that something wonderful is coming your way you seem like such a genuine and awesome person with a lot of faith. I think you will be rewarded for that and this church with the attitude and all that Would probably have not been a good fit for you, but there will be one somewhere. There will be something wonderful that happens for you. I know it. I’m going to pray for that. God bless you, sweetie. You got this and you got me. Praying for you. And I’m sure many others❤
I applied to a few churches to get a job and none of them hired me, this year I need a job again and nobody is hiring me and it's going to be almost 9 months without a job. I'm going to a lot of interviews and they all are very nice and you think that it went great and that you're going to get hired but then they tell you that they are choosing a different candidate, I don't take it personal it's all business, it's been I struggle but I'm keeping it moving and trusting God!
Wow, the levels of insensitivity from those church leaders is... about what you'd expect now day. So sorry you experienced that. Certainly praying that the Lord gives you strength and a sudden breakthrough, apartment, home, better paying job, etc.
When I was in college my only income was being a writing center tutor. It wasn’t much and in winters when the school closed it was hard. I lived off campus so no meal plan. No food stamps since I was a student. God’s Food Pantry was once every so many weeks or something. I asked a Christian Ministry’s Professor for $20 for groceries that I would pay back when my job resumed. I asked churches and some lady told me to get a job at McDonald’s which wasn’t even hiring. I’ll never forget how these people who said “if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask” turned me away. My family is really struggling now due to work missed for surgery followed by a car wreck and just so much all at once, but my current little church is so small but they brought us food boxes twice and that has meant so much in such an uncaring world. Look for the ungreedy pastors who really care for their flock…sometimes the smaller the flock the better. I know they’re struggling too and can’t afford much but they helped more than the bigger church I use to go to ever would have.
My church gives, but due to the abundance of need and limited funds, they only give specifically. For example, paying specific bills. There usually isn’t cash money to give to anyone. Check some of the government resources in your area, including housing and educational and job related. My state provides free career training in multiple fields. There’s probably something similar everywhere. There’s also some seasonal/holiday work opportunities in some areas.
It was about 15 years ago, and I was calling around for my friend who was homeless, and I called about 8 church, and not one of the churches could help her!!!. I'm starting to realize the church is nothing but a business. They also have big huge bills to pay. Some of the big churches probably pay about $15,000 a month in electricity. We need to start having church out of our homes. What's very frustrating and makes me sad, is family can't step into help!!!!.
Church’s dont have that kind of money and they get calls every day. People dont just need a few bags of groceries anymore they need thousandsssss a month for rent, electric, food, car payment , water its a massive amount of money! People cant go get another job to help people while they are not working. Could be $10,000 for one person not working for a few months. People dont have it.
@yvonneerrend8217 yeah I feel ya on that I cannot even get myself to go to a church anymore after what I've been thru I talk to GOD daily and definitely will not pay them no tides I believe GOD let's me know who to bless and I do it without hesitation. She just gotta keep pushing GOD will bless her I was in my car for awhile was able to get a good job have a very nice place actually not far from where I use to sleep at which is crazy cause it seems like ages ago but it wasn't.
I was a single Mom of 3, faithful tither and giver and I was going to lose my apartment once and completed a benevolence form and they would only give me $200. Obviously, that wouldn't save my apartment. My kids used to get so mad at me. I would try to explain I've done my part with a true heart and they have to do their part. Just like you, I don't ask for help because I've always felt like a burden to everyone around me because I was a single Mom. Sigh. Life is hard. I'm homeless and jobless right now too. Praying for you in your situation. 💚💚💚
@@TheQuietOne888 Ohhh nooo… Thank you for sharing a bit of your story. I know God is up to something through these videos and I’m excited to see what’s to come from me being obedient and just sharing. I really am sorry for your hardship and I pray that we can all come to a point of not being in these situations. Especially if we are not doing anything wrong other than trying to live a good quality and righteous life… 🙏🏽💕 Consider yourself in between blessing vs homeless… ☺️🙏🏽💕
@@crosscountrycruisHer Thank you for your gift btw. It’s not too many people who’s CA name matches their YT handle so it’s difficult to express individual gratitude. ☺️🙏🏽
I’ve been there. It’s definitely disheartening when the support we expect from our church communities isn’t there, especially from those we consider family in faith. It’s important to remember that everyone is human and can fall short, but God’s love and support are unwavering. Leaning on your faith can provide strength and comfort during tough times. Surround yourself with those who uplift you and remind you of your worth. Keep trusting in God; He knows your heart and your struggles. You’re not alone in this journey!🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was a former member of TD Jakes church. There was a woman who needed help desperately from an abusive situation. The woman just wanted her tithes back to get another place to live. Jakes would never meet with her and she kept asking for help. (Jakes only meets with celebrities and big church donars). Administration wouldn't reveal who this woman was to others in the church who just wanted to help this woman. Finally, a sister on the board told me that they paid for a hotel for a week for this woman and told her to go to a shelter after that. I couldn't believe the arrogance of how TD snakes handled the situation and became very disillusioned with the potters house and it's motivational sermons, sometimes these so called sermons totally leaving the word of God out of the sermons! I left that church soon after, never to look back and I'm so happy that I did! Sometimes sister these churches claiming to be saving souls are nothing more than money making businesses and you have to move on to get your soul right with God! These pastors will have a hefty price to pay on judgement day! I pray things work out for you, keep seeking the Lord, You are not alone!
Im so sorry you are going through this. I grew up in church, in my early 20s experienced church hurt and I do not fool with the church anymore, I have a relationship with God and help others when I can but I do not have a church home and do not plan on getting one
I know that church’s response was disappointing but I work for a church and on the back side it is a business with real jobs, real qualifications etc. so it’s not usual to complete resume and interview. Also, we have a benevolence program with an application to be completed. This gives a full picture of your situation and needs and makes sure it’s documented that every applicant is reviewed and treated the same, whether approved or declined. One of three biggest challenges for the church right now is the needs of the community are great so there has to be parameters set. I applaud you for wanting to work and trusting in God and not man to meet your needs.
If you went to Jesus for a healing, would he tell you you have to fill out an application and give it to his disciples, and they'll get back to you in a week??? What's wrong with the church. We, the people are the true church!
@@yvetteshokere7818 Amen! I don't even want to respond to the comment of this person, because I might have to repent for my harsh words later. All I will say is this: this church had enough of a budget - THREE MILLION AND A HALF - to pay for a building. God's church is NOT a building. It's HIS people. Enough said.
That’s the problem ! It’s a business . Christianity is not a business . Why can’t your pastor work ? He is not supposed to be a burden on people . He is in the same boat as this lady . Nowhere in the bible does it say to financially support a church . Why isn’t your pastor living by faith ? All an abomination to God and the Truth
While living in my car, I told nobody at my church. There is not much a church can do. Some may have a voucher for a night or two at a hotel. You may have someone who might offer a room in their home, but really there is not much they can do. They almost always refer you to local homeless services. And they always put tithe-paying church members first on their list to help, as they should. Even Catholic charities do not help in the way you're expecting. I knew of a Catholic charity that paid partial rent directly to an apartment complex. They wouldn't give the person anything directly. There are too many scammers out there. You would get more of the help you need from homeless services. Good luck!
I wish you all the best in finding a job and a place to live. My church has supported many individuals in need, sometimes they have several families at the same time. I have helped both my children and my church family in time of need.
@@gloriabebop5313I hear you but this is someone willing to help better than the church. The church is the people but some churches are just buildings. The person offering the extra bedroom is the true church ❤
The church I grew up in had a benevolent fund. On a particular Sunday each month and with the use of special envelopes, members could contribute. I believe churches need to establish separate funds to provide assistance for those in need, with members given priority.
Your perception of the church interview process seems correct to me. Most churches are interested in the MONEY OFFERINGS from the people who attend the church. God's continued best to you always ! p.s. Your CHURCH HOME knows you and have a history with you and it appears they would be more willing to help you during this difficult time.
We have to remember the church is not just the pastor. It is the entire Body and not just the one you attend. We are all the Body of Christ. We, as Believers, need to pray and be sensitive to the needs of others, especially to those of the household of faith. If you don't know anyone personally, pray, the Holy Spirit will reveal them. Begin now. Bless someone you don't know. This is the opportune season to begin.
I am repulsed by how you were treated. I subscribed as soon as this video ended. Sometimes I have to remind myself more frequently than other days, but I've been intentional about dropping unrealistic expectations when it comes to people. I love your energy and spirit in spite of your situation. Continue to remain in a state of gratitude, it will move mountains for you. I'm looking forward to seeing you come up! 🙏🏽 💜
You are so aware of who God is. The time you are having is to be alone with God so he can prioritize your new beginning. You are only going through your seasons but God got you. He will place you in a permanent place when the time is right. But right now it you and God. You are growing into who God is. Continue listening and growing. Take care and God bless you.
You would THINK that the very least a church could do would be to provide safe parking. Maybe make sure the building bathrooms and showers would be available during certain hours. Maybe have a washer/dryer available. But at the very least SAFE PARKING!
New subscriber here. Thanks for sharing your story. I had a family member in your situation so I appreciate your candor. If I may push back, that church is not fulfilling its mandate. They shouldn’t take up tithes & offerings if they can’t also help those same people from whom they receive. Pastor needs to reflect on Lev 25:35.
God protected you. Now you know the heart of the church. We have here in Murfreesboro, Tennessee the most giving church I have ever experienced. Experience Community Church.
You are such a beautiful lady spiritually and physically. I know what it's like to go through what you're going through. Is it wrong to be drawn to you? I pray God delivers you from your trials and you see where you need to be. ❤
Your blessings are coming sister..... You are an amazing woman.... Well done for opening up and being vulnerable. This is a lesson... You will now do things differently based off this experience ❤
This is why I don’t go to church!! I stopped going to church when I was 17.. I am 31 now. I love God!! God is my rock but I will never step foot in the church. I’ve seen a teenage mom get put on the spot by my old pastor and humiliated cuz she got pregnant as a teen without marriage.. that was my last straw.. the church is supposed to help and not harm. I don’t go to church.. my heart is too big for those church leaders.. and I know a lot of ppl in the head of the church who are cheaters, liars and everything. I’ll pass.
If you want to love God you have to obey God's word. Don't forsake the assembling together. We are told to love the brethren, help each other, pray for one another and comfort one another and many other things. I pray that you start to obey God soon and find a good church and continue reading God's word.
@@Medgeen-r4r You don't have to be in a church to assemble with other believers. Plenty of believers do more for others and are doing that work outside of the church building and being blessed by doing so!
God's sheep do need a Shepherd and I'm praying you will allow God to lead you to his chosen ministers. Your past experiences are very real to you but He can still make all things new!
That wasnt his place to humiliate her its a scourge on our society to have children outside of marriage but that is between her and God. She will suffer the consequences. Its his job to preach the Gospel.
We can't let what happens to other o in the faith steer us away from Church. And we are the Church not the building when you fall away from congregating with other believers be very careful. Satan likes to get you alone so he can work on your mind. All believers need a covering someone to guide them pray for them and teach them the word. Remember the Church is a hospital for the sick not a sanctuary for the saints. We are all a work on process none of us has arisen...
Sadly, I think churches are the last place we should look to or expect to get help from. We are in the last days; the love of God will wax cold in people's hearts. I believe the Church is under God's judgement. I found myself in your situation some years ago and no one in my 'then' church would even allow me to sleep in my car in thier driveway! Not a couch to sleep on in thier home. But God provided a stranger who took me in (me and my infant child). We stayed with her and her family for 9 months until I was 'on my feet' again. We are still friends today. I always think of them at this time of year! I tell this story over and over again because it is a testimony to the love of our Father. Somehow He works things out for us . . . in His time. After having another experience like this with churches a few years ago, I've pretty much had nothing to do with churches. But this hasn't shaken my faith in the Lord. You will pull through this. Always remember, God is in control.
Thank you for sharing your story, probably someone else who had applied for the job was more befitting for the role. We really don’t know everyone’s situation.
Me personally as a Single Black female with 3 Sons I moved away from predominately Black Churches because my mom paid tithes to the same Church for over 20 years and her pastor wouldn’t even do her eulogy at her funeral, didn’t even send flowers lol and I started to seek other Churches different cultures and I’ve been treated way better when I was down and out. My kids and I were blessed with $20 childcare per week which in most cases usually is more expensive than rent nowadays and they even bought my kids clothes. I don’t feel that we have to be tied to one Church. Other Churches provide you with the same word but act according to GOD. They stand on their WORD
Church hurt is the worse! I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I remember calling the leader over the marriage ministry to inform her that my husband had moved out of our home when I was at work. I told her he cleared out the bank account, cut off the house phone and many more things. She asked me how did I get her personal number? I said you taught marriage class for weeks and provided everyone involved the class your number. Needless to say, I didn’t attend church for 3 years. I was so devastated. This video spoke volumes to me. If there is anything I can due to help please let me know.
God Con. SMH the Cathedral in my city is surrounded by the prostitute drug homeless and downtrodden of society. They don't pay taxes. It's heated all night and doors are LOCKED 😢 Jesus would have those doors unlocked and open all day and night to help those poor people Jesus is coming and he's bringing the sword REPENT please
I love to see the good people finally winning. And when I say say winning, I mean blessed .. getting what we’ve always deserved. We always give and get screwed over and it’s time for us to get blessed. So in the Bible, it talks about how the first will become last, and the last become first and the meek shall inherit the Earth .. so I think that is happening in our world now. We all realize we can come together this way.. use the internet to connect and help .. And I’m so happy that you have been able to start your UA-cam channel and it is anointed by the Holy Spirit. There is no reason for any of us to be alone if we don’t want to be. Reach out and go within. The answers come from within. ✌🏻 🙏
That’s sad. I’m listening to your story and my first question was why not tell everyone you know you need help. You never know where your blessing is coming from. Also, God uses man to be his arms and feet. Don’t block your blessings.
@@honeychick4ever280 vent? She stated she needs help so she reached out to two people. Does she need to give lengthy details? No. However when we show up to things as if everything is “ok” instead of asking or telling people I’m looking for a job or things are a little tough right now do you know of any places that offer assistance for x, y, z, no one is going to help. A closed mouth doesn’t get feed or helped.
@Tamiekasmithphotography : Exactly! And they led her to false hope and they didn't help her. But they raised a lot of money for the church but couldn't help her. It's disgusting that these corrupt greedy church leaders are not helping the people in their own congregation but taking the money for themselves. Trust and believe God will lead her to the right people and open appointments for her.
One thing that is good that u have a job need focus on getting small place to live. As far as thinking start business that need b later time. But living in car can make u ill. That my opinion. Just need hussle for now to get into at least tiny apt. God bless u. I'm sure all will b fine. God on ur side!
Yeah… I lived in my car a few years ago and contacted a “mega” church, with several locations around town. I was working at the time, and the only thing I needed was a safe place to park and sleep. So I asked if I could sleep in their parking deck a few nights out of the week, until I found a place. They refused due to possible liabilities. It’s a business 😞
You're doing great sis! Been here since around 200 subs and seeing how well the channel is doing has been incredible! Guys remember to WATCH the ads(at least 30 seconds before skipping is all that's needed for it to count).
In my opinion the real church is in the soul as where I believe God dwells, I stem clear of churches congregations Pastors all the structural things that are ran basically like the government. Blessings as always! on your journey!! you will rise and be successful and peaceful under your own roof!
You're right. Its definitely a business. I've always been for churches being taxed, especially since the tithes and offerings also pay the pastor's salary. But that's my opinion.
@@poet82nit’s ridiculous and narcissistic for any pastor to be living in luxury off of the blood of the parishioners! Then say that can’t offer a bag of groceries even!😡 I am so disgusted by this! We have to use our God given discernment!
@@tmo6517 I honestly don't know where that came from. I wish we can go back to the days where the church owned a home and whoever was the pastor at the time got to live in the home with their family but the property belongs to the church. And the pastor's family may have gotten a stipend to take care of groceries etc., but never a full on salary over six figures. It's ridiculous and out of hand. That's why my tithes and offerings go to those in need. If I ever come across someone who needs groceries, then I buy them groceries. If I ever come across someone who needs gas in their car, then I will put gas in their car. That's my tithes and offering. I'm not paying the pastor salary. Or the worship leaders salary, or whoever is on staff payroll.
I hate to say this but some churches run out of money at the end of the year for benevolence. Go to that other church he suggested. They may be out of money now but they will have a new budget in January. Oh, also go to your state social services. In my town they do help people with deposits. Unfortunately, in larger states, there are so many people living in their cars that they can't help everyone. I'm praying for you. Tell everyone, you never know who can help. You are a beautiful educated woman. 🙏
Hello Queen… I think of you often❤❤❤I feel also they went through the motions with you. We have so much faith. My spirit says some discrimination weAs at play
I suggest you reach out to your pastor personally. If he's your Pastor then you are obligated to share what your going thru because he knows and loves you. Most churches just don't have the resources to house people...but your pastor knows you personally and may be able to offer you temporary help and keep an ear out for housing for you. Like another supporter said in the comments at best, you may get a hotel room for a few nights from an outside pastor. I understand your private, but thisbis thr time you should share what you're going thru with your Pastor.
You needed to talk to that assistant pastor again, face to face not over email. Ask him what could have been done better in the interview. The church should be available for all people but today it doesn't care. It's more of a pep club, sad 😢.
Dear sister,chances are if a few of your friends in your home church know your situation,than more than likely so do others.. (I’m just keeping it real as people do talk) So, call your home church and tell your pastor personally what’s going on with you .Why? So that they can help you…period. You can still do God’s work…don’t let self imposed pride get in the way of humbling yourself to receive help. You’ve been through a lot, you shared with the entire world your journey and some of us are better for it…It’s time .
Where do you store your clothes and how you keep your car so clean? Because the people I no that live in their car like me. My clothes in it. My bed in it. And you all made up. I'm just wondering How you do it?❤🙏🏻🙏🏽
People have storages for their personal items, except for a few in the trunk. Having a gym membership to take a shower and do your skin routines etc will do wonders. Most people also get car washes and vacuum out their cars. Most gas stations have free vacuums. Just because a person is living in their car doesn't mean they have to look bad. You can still take care of your hygiene, wear make-up if you want, and look the part. Trust me, I've been there. I wish you well.
@@poet82n Free vacuums? What part of the country are you in? I've never seen one.
@@beh4846 I'm in California. I would hope other States would have free vacuums at gas stations but I could be wrong.
Thank you, I am going to do a video car tour on this very soon because this question has been asked quite a bit. But basically, I am a minimalist so I have very few items and have purposely tried to keep my belongings to what is needed. I don’t have a bed and use the front seat for sleeping. All items are well organized in the trunk, with a few necessities in the back seat. I don’t like clutter and I try my best to maintain cleanliness in any environment that I’m in. ☺️🙏🏽
Yes it is they don't care
I don't know how you wound up in my feed but this is the 2nd time I've seen you but this time I clicked on one of your videos...now I'm on my 5th one. I replying to this one in hopes that you will see this. I just wanted to say that you are a beautiful representative for the Lord. Your light is bright and I believe this situation that you're in is temporary. God is using you right now but this is the start of something wonderful. Your channel will flourish and you are going to be successful with your business. I am so happy I found you. We need more light in these dark times. ❤
Aw... what a lovely, and kind comment 🥰 You sound like a sweetheart! I agree with you too, we get a sense that this lady is a God-fearing woman, and her light shines bright indeed so no doubt that this is the start of something wonderful for her. The Lord is taking her through this path for a reason, and like you, I pray that she's going to be successful (and find herself a lovely place to live in thanks to this channel). May God greatly bless you, Cherie Michelle, for your positive input - I'm sure that your supportive comment made her day 🌻
I see it! ☺️ Thank you, very kind words. I see how God is doing something greater than me and I’m very grateful to love Him with my whole heart ❤️ ☺️🙏🏽
My Sister, You will make it; It,s only a test, Hold on your change will come! Listen to: Shirley Caesar: He,s Working It Out For You, Brenda Waters, Victory, I,ve found that Gospel Music helps lift my spirit, I hope you will get thru this. Keep the Faith, I,m praying for you
@marioladunn1134 Amen sista so true
@InBetweenBlessings He really is my sista hang in there it's only a matter of time things are gona change am talking out of experience and as a testimony that he will never live us nor forsake us its just a process ♥️
I went through a similar situation with a church regarding a job that was open. I put in the application, did the interview and gave them my resume. They told me that I would be notified within a week and given my situation there was a good chance that I would get it. I was homeless and struggling but I was trying my hardest to be better. By the end of the day after I had my interview I got an email saying that they have selected another person. Turns out, they hired the pastor's daughter. Eventually all the pastors children we're hired into the church and it became a family business. Mind you that the church is fairly big and well-known within the city I live in.
I was also told about the benevolence application and when I applied, I got an email asking me where my tithes and offerings were. And am I still member because they don't have an updated payment record. I was so hurt because I was an active member in the choir, teaching the literacy class, in the singles ministry etc. I got more help from people in the street outside of the church.
My prayers are with you.
🙇🏽♀️ just sad.
More and more churches are interested in keeping count of who pay titles and offering than the wellbeing of its members. I do not know if you are still a member there, but I have always told myself, the first time a church confronts me about titles and offering will be the last time they see me. I am on my way to heaven, and I don't need the church to help me get there, in Jesus' name!
Its sad
@@barbarapeller No, I'm no longer at that church. This was in 2016 and I was struggling, between homes and I had asked the church to pray for me because I was going into a major surgery that was very risky. When I asked for prayer one of the ministers emails me back and asked me was I still a member there cause they don't see my tithes and offering record. Well, I went into my major surgery, but that was the last time I willingly stepped foot into that church. I did go back last year in 2023 only because my godmother passed and they had her funeral there and I was on program. But I haven't been back since before then or after.
I'm doing so much better now, but when people say they've experienced church hurt, I believe them and don't try to make an excuse for the church. Firsthand experience here.
@@poet82n Thank you so much for sharing and I totally understand. I pray you are in a good place right now and do not hold any grudges against the church, God will deal with it. Sometimes God will allow us to get in a situation only show us or remind us, to lean on and depend on HIM! Yes, we need one another when we are weak and in despair, the Bible states, we should bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2), but we cannot always (not in today's society) find that in church.
I did live in caregiving when I was homeless. It allowed for roof overhead, free meals, and small wage. The Lord's provision!
Forgiveness is key.
Thanks!
Thank you, very kind of you… ☺️🙏🏽
Wow, yes put your trust in the true Living GOD.
I won’t judge. This could happen to anyone. Wishing you all the best.
So true
I am 68 years old and have been church ALLL of my life. Not only in church, I worked in multiple areas of the church, I started singing in the choir (couldn't hold a note) because mother made us. I went for singing to ushering, to assistant secretary to secretary of the church and Sunday School, to assistant Mission leader, to evangelism, to nurse's aide to the pastor to assisting in the kitchen serving during funerals. I started out in a little church in MS, to two mega churches in Dallas and not ONCE have I ever asked a penny from the church. I always participated in titles and offering, to whatever funding going on, even buying Christmas gifts for secret Santa families at the church. I said all of that to get to here. I have lost all hope in churches, I put zero trust in pastors, yes, even my own. I still attend church, I still give as I have always done, so why do I feel this way? The only thing I have asked was for my pastor to come when I called him (only twice in the almost twenty years at this church) when I was very sick, didn't ask for anything else, and he never came, he sent someone else. I was taught in my younger years, that the church should be the first place you should be able to go to for HELP! Jesus established it, where the sick can be healed, and He meant healed from whatever a person is dealing with. The Bible also speaks, in the latter days, there will be lovers of SELF, a great falling away, you can't tell a Christain from the world. I am very disappointed in this church, although not surprised. I had waist length hair and three weeks ago, I cut it all off. I made a vow before God that every time I looked in the mirror at the head, it would be a reminder to put ALL MY TRUST IN HIM AND HIM ONLY! I wish you the best and let me say, I know how it feels to feel alone in a full world, but God is able, and He is faithful, keep trusting in Him even when you can't trace Him. P.S. Forgive me for the long post but your video, got to me.
@@barbarapeller AMEN
Lost...
stop attending and more, stop giving!
@phyllis9750 Many are deceived. They are not learned, that church is not original in Scripture. It was changed as an add in.
You are spot on
Hey! I'm Prophetess Kennethia and I'm homeless too in Asheville. I was attending a church in Greensboro when I lost my apartment, and they didn't help at all! Single with 2 kids! God moved me to Asheville after I lost my apartment, and we lived in a hotel or slept in our car until 2 weeks ago. I ran into a pastor here in Asheville over the Red Cross where we were at, and he placed us in a women's and children's shelter. It's very nice here, and the people are God loving people who are willing to help us get back on our feet. Thankfully, I have a good teaching job, so I'm just saving to get a place next year. I'll be praying that your situation gets better very soon. 💜
Lastly, God has directed me to start a women's and children's ministry built off my own suffering and process.
🙏❤🙏A woman's shelter, that's awesome. I'm a Mental Health Wellness Coach. I would love to connect🙌🏻
@@kennethiacgilliam I've never heard of a nice shelter with nice people. This place needs to be recognized!!

@ Amen.❤️
Church leaders' goals these days are to get their church membership role as big as possible with the most glamorous facilities that the members can finance. Caring for its members and the community that builds it up comes last. God commanded the church to care for the sick, widowed, elderly, imprisoned, downtrodden, and especially its own members. Also God uses your brothers and sisters in Christ to uplift you, not only in prayer but as an answer to those prayers. So they can miss me with the "we'll be praying for you." I stopped tithing to "the building fund" a while ago and started giving that money directly to people who really need it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. SPOT ON. THOSE IN MOST NEED ARE NOT GENERALLY THOSE WHO ARE MEMBERS AND GIVE THEIR MONTHLY TYTHE. BUS MINISTRY SHOULD BE LIKE CLOCK WORK. A PERSON SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEG A RIDE TO CHURCH. IF THE CHURCH HAS A NURSERY. IF THE CHURCH HAS A ROOM OR PARSONAGE. NO BROTHER OR SISTER SHOULD BE WITHOUT SHELTER OR RESPITE IN THIS SEASON.
I slept in my car 2000-08
In Los Angeles to pay child support. Doing great now
Wow. Just wow. Glad you are doing well now.
I’m glad you’re good now💪🏾💯
Sorry to hear about your interaction with the church. For the most part, many churches only help their members and that is limited. They do not help to solve the problem. I am not criticizing but speaking truth. The smaller churches usually do more than the larger churches. Just know, God is a God of his word. He will do what he says, but it will be in his own time. Sometimes, it seems like he is too slow in answering our prayers but if we wait patiently for him; he will work miracles in our lives. I know it’s hard to wait when we are in a difficult place. God sees you and he hears you. Wait on him.❤❤
Have you considered truck driving? I was homeless. And I've noticed that People in non profits are the worst people.
I went to prime inc trucking school. I think they are starting at $900 a week just for training. But there are other companies . They pay for you to get there if you're out of state.
It might be a good opportunity for you. I'm feminine girly girl. And if i can do i anybody can. People are shocked that i drive a semi. The CDL license has helped me to get back on my feet.
I saved $20,000 in a year by living in the truck. And im not even good with money. I got an apartment, car and i never looked back;;
@@wildonez3076 Wonderful testimony, unfortunately I’m not good at driving overly sized vehicles and I prefer not to drive at night as much as possible. Such an amazing journey for you. ☺️🙏🏽
@@wildonez3076 Trucking is NOT for everyone.
Hey, I’m sorry you are in this situation and that this happened to you. I was somewhat in your position. And I went to church for help. A lot of churches don’t really care or they don’t really have the resources to help. I’ll pray that another church or anyone will help. All it takes is one person with the right resources
Man will disappoint but God never disappoints. He has extraordinary plans for your life, just continue to trust and leave everything in His mighty hands. Continued blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amen

yet they're always begging the members about tithing reason why i no longer have a church home
@@loriaversher5477 You mentionrd tithing. The tithing of the churches is not the same as the purpose in Scripture.
@@pretendok6925 but they're still always begging for it even to the point of manipulating others in it
Same here I gave tithes for two years and I became homeless and Church refused to help. But god helped me and now i live in a house
Prayers for You Sister.
May the Lord give You everything You need.❤🙏
We live in a society that believes there is shame and blame attached to being impoverished, abused, sick or homeless . Unfortunately the church is part of this society. We have become a name it, claim it faith. If anyone is struggling then, like Job, they will be questioned, accused and judged. Another part of why a church doesn't help is that suffering is unattractive and they simply don't want to be associated with the real. May God Bless you ❤. I've been where you're at. Keep your eyes on God. Nothing and no one else will give you hope, comfort or salvation.
@@dawnd.5290 SO TRUE!!! 😇

@@dawnd.5290 Truth you tell. But so many are deceived and don't know from where Christianity and it's divided churches originated. The decrption is a great stumbling block and snare.

@polly8844 Keep giving the thieving wolves in sheep clothing credit, you will be disapointed everytime.
If the church can help they SHOULD help those who are genuinely in need!!! They have no problem begging for financial help!!!
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been hurt by a church years ago. And I realize that of course humans are imperfect. But I think since we don’t know the whole story of God‘s plan that something wonderful is coming your way you seem like such a genuine and awesome person with a lot of faith. I think you will be rewarded for that and this church with the attitude and all that Would probably have not been a good fit for you, but there will be one somewhere. There will be something wonderful that happens for you. I know it. I’m going to pray for that. God bless you, sweetie. You got this and you got me. Praying for you. And I’m sure many others❤
Yes thank you 😊 🙏🏽
What a lovely comment! It's so nice to see so many kind-hearted sisters in Christ commenting and leaving positive and supportive notes🥰 ✝
I applied to a few churches to get a job and none of them hired me, this year I need a job again and nobody is hiring me and it's going to be almost 9 months without a job. I'm going to a lot of interviews and they all are very nice and you think that it went great and that you're going to get hired but then they tell you that they are choosing a different candidate, I don't take it personal it's all business, it's been I struggle but I'm keeping it moving and trusting God!
Thank you for sharing. ☺️🙏🏽
Am in this situation looking for A Job and it hard am not understanding this but only God knows
Wow, the levels of insensitivity from those church leaders is... about what you'd expect now day. So sorry you experienced that. Certainly praying that the Lord gives you strength and a sudden breakthrough, apartment, home, better paying job, etc.
When I was in college my only income was being a writing center tutor. It wasn’t much and in winters when the school closed it was hard. I lived off campus so no meal plan. No food stamps since I was a student. God’s Food Pantry was once every so many weeks or something. I asked a Christian Ministry’s Professor for $20 for groceries that I would pay back when my job resumed. I asked churches and some lady told me to get a job at McDonald’s which wasn’t even hiring. I’ll never forget how these people who said “if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask” turned me away. My family is really struggling now due to work missed for surgery followed by a car wreck and just so much all at once, but my current little church is so small but they brought us food boxes twice and that has meant so much in such an uncaring world. Look for the ungreedy pastors who really care for their flock…sometimes the smaller the flock the better. I know they’re struggling too and can’t afford much but they helped more than the bigger church I use to go to ever would have.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your story. ☺️🙏🏽
My church gives, but due to the abundance of need and limited funds, they only give specifically. For example, paying specific bills. There usually isn’t cash money to give to anyone. Check some of the government resources in your area, including housing and educational and job related. My state provides free career training in multiple fields. There’s probably something similar everywhere. There’s also some seasonal/holiday work opportunities in some areas.
Now the way your church do thing's that's the godly way I'm so happy to hear this.
That would have aggravated me, too. You do sound and seem much more collected than previously. Happy to see it.
@@shaunaleelange Yes, thank you ☺️🙏🏽
It was about 15 years ago, and I was calling around for my friend who was homeless, and I called about 8 church, and not one of the churches could help her!!!. I'm starting to realize the church is nothing but a business. They also have big huge bills to pay. Some of the big churches probably pay about $15,000 a month in electricity. We need to start having church out of our homes. What's very frustrating and makes me sad, is family can't step into help!!!!.
Confirmation in the late 1990's I heard the Lord say, the way the church age begin will be the way it will end the House Church
Church’s dont have that kind of money and they get calls every day. People dont just need a few bags of groceries anymore they need thousandsssss a month for rent, electric, food, car payment , water its a massive amount of money! People cant go get another job to help people while they are not working. Could be $10,000 for one person not working for a few months. People dont have it.
@yvonneerrend8217 yeah I feel ya on that I cannot even get myself to go to a church anymore after what I've been thru I talk to GOD daily and definitely will not pay them no tides I believe GOD let's me know who to bless and I do it without hesitation. She just gotta keep pushing GOD will bless her I was in my car for awhile was able to get a good job have a very nice place actually not far from where I use to sleep at which is crazy cause it seems like ages ago but it wasn't.
It's really sad when you ask for help no one is willing to help evn having resources to . May God send you your devine helper soon 🙏 ❤❤
GOD says trust no man! Put your trust in GOD! Not the church, not the preachers, not church collection plate, but GOD only!
I was a single Mom of 3, faithful tither and giver and I was going to lose my apartment once and completed a benevolence form and they would only give me $200. Obviously, that wouldn't save my apartment. My kids used to get so mad at me. I would try to explain I've done my part with a true heart and they have to do their part. Just like you, I don't ask for help because I've always felt like a burden to everyone around me because I was a single Mom. Sigh. Life is hard. I'm homeless and jobless right now too.

I’ve been there. It’s definitely disheartening when the support we expect from our church communities isn’t there, especially from those we consider family in faith. It’s important to remember that everyone is human and can fall short, but God’s love and support are unwavering. Leaning on your faith can provide strength and comfort during tough times. Surround yourself with those who uplift you and remind you of your worth. Keep trusting in God; He knows your heart and your struggles. You’re not alone in this journey!🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was a former member of TD Jakes church. There was a woman who needed help desperately from an abusive situation. The woman just wanted her tithes back to get another place to live. Jakes would never meet with her and she kept asking for help. (Jakes only meets with celebrities and big church donars). Administration wouldn't reveal who this woman was to others in the church who just wanted to help this woman.
Finally, a sister on the board told me that they paid for a hotel for a week for this woman and told her to go to a shelter after that. I couldn't believe the arrogance of how TD snakes handled the situation and became very disillusioned with the potters house and it's motivational sermons, sometimes these so called sermons totally leaving the word of God out of the sermons! I left that church soon after, never to look back and I'm so happy that I did! Sometimes sister these churches claiming to be saving souls are nothing more than money making businesses and you have to move on to get your soul right with God! These pastors will have a hefty price to pay on judgement day! I pray things work out for you, keep seeking the Lord, You are not alone!
Amen sister, so many are just BUMS on the grift
That should be a part of a ministry. It's sad but not many really care.
AMEN!!!
Im so sorry you are going through this. I grew up in church, in my early 20s experienced church hurt and I do not fool with the church anymore, I have a relationship with God and help others when I can but I do not have a church home and do not plan on getting one
I know that church’s response was disappointing but I work for a church and on the back side it is a business with real jobs, real qualifications etc. so it’s not usual to complete resume and interview. Also, we have a benevolence program with an application to be completed. This gives a full picture of your situation and needs and makes sure it’s documented that every applicant is reviewed and treated the same, whether approved or declined. One of three biggest challenges for the church right now is the needs of the community are great so there has to be parameters set.
I applaud you for wanting to work and trusting in God and not man to meet your needs.
Thank you for sharing. ☺️🙏🏽
If you went to Jesus for a healing, would he tell you you have to fill out an application and give it to his disciples, and they'll get back to you in a week??? What's wrong with the church. We, the people are the true church!
@@yvetteshokere7818 Amen! I don't even want to respond to the comment of this person, because I might have to repent for my harsh words later. All I will say is this: this church had enough of a budget - THREE MILLION AND A HALF - to pay for a building. God's church is NOT a building. It's HIS people. Enough said.
That’s the problem ! It’s a business . Christianity is not a business . Why can’t your pastor work ? He is not supposed to be a burden on people . He is in the same boat as this lady . Nowhere in the bible does it say to financially support a church . Why isn’t your pastor living by faith ? All an abomination to God and the Truth
These people are hypocrites and a pastor who does not work is just a burden on the people . Let him live by faith if he truly has it .
While living in my car, I told nobody at my church. There is not much a church can do. Some may have a voucher for a night or two at a hotel. You may have someone who might offer a room in their home, but really there is not much they can do. They almost always refer you to local homeless services. And they always put tithe-paying church members first on their list to help, as they should. Even Catholic charities do not help in the way you're expecting. I knew of a Catholic charity that paid partial rent directly to an apartment complex. They wouldn't give the person anything directly. There are too many scammers out there. You would get more of the help you need from homeless services. Good luck!
The Church should be able to help their own, not Government Agencies! Sad 😢❤
@a.c.immanuel9268 They do help but there is only so much they can do. 😭
I wish you all the best in finding a job and a place to live. My church has supported many individuals in need, sometimes they have several families at the same time. I have helped both my children and my church family in time of need.
I’m in ga, it just me and my small child I have a extra bedroom
So humble of you to offer her a room in your home without even knowing her, but in these days you must be very careful with that
@@gloriabebop5313I hear you but this is someone willing to help better than the church. The church is the people but some churches are just buildings. The person offering the extra bedroom is the true church ❤
The church I grew up in had a benevolent fund. On a particular Sunday each month and with the use of special envelopes, members could contribute. I believe churches need to establish separate funds to provide assistance for those in need, with members given priority.
Your perception of the church interview process seems correct to me. Most churches are interested in the MONEY OFFERINGS from the people who attend the church. God's continued best to you always ! p.s. Your CHURCH HOME knows you and have a history with you and it appears they would be more willing to help you during this difficult time.

We have to remember the church is not just the pastor. It is the entire Body and not just the one you attend. We are all the Body of Christ. We, as Believers, need to pray and be sensitive to the needs of others, especially to those of the household of faith. If you don't know anyone personally, pray, the Holy Spirit will reveal them. Begin now. Bless someone you don't know. This is the opportune season to begin.

Yay! You are now monetized! 🎊 Sorry about what you are going through and pray things turn around for quickly.
Nope! Definitely not homeless, this is why I subscribed to you, you have a winning attitude! Can't be claiming things like homelessness.
💯❤🔥
You are so aware of who God is. The time you are having is to be alone with God so he can prioritize your new beginning. You are only going through your seasons but God got you. He will place you in a permanent place when the time is right. But right now it you and God. You are growing into who God is. Continue listening and growing. Take care and God bless you.
I pray God opens doors and makes provision!
You would THINK that the very least a church could do would be to provide safe parking. Maybe make sure the building bathrooms and showers would be available during certain hours. Maybe have a washer/dryer available. But at the very least SAFE PARKING!
Walk by faith not by sight. God sees our struggles. Have a?safe blessed day. Shoutout from Ohio. God is good all the time.
Please apply for section eight, you'll qualify. Working as an In Home Care Provider will give you shelter.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your testimony.
You are so welcome ☺️🙏🏽
Praying that God will provide you with what you need very soon. Keep the faith trust and believe in God. Stay safe and God bless.
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
New subscriber here. Thanks for sharing your story. I had a family member in your situation so I appreciate your candor. If I may push back, that church is not fulfilling its mandate. They shouldn’t take up tithes & offerings if they can’t also help those same people from whom they receive. Pastor needs to reflect on Lev 25:35.
God protected you. Now you know the heart of the church. We have here in Murfreesboro, Tennessee the most giving church I have ever experienced. Experience Community Church.
Prayers and blessings for you ❤
You are such a beautiful lady spiritually and physically. I know what it's like to go through what you're going through. Is it wrong to be drawn to you? I pray God delivers you from your trials and you see where you need to be. ❤
We are all God's feet ,hands voice,ears eyes !! Instruments ❤️🌟✨❤️
Keep the faith sister! Even in your circumstances you are an inspiration and blessing to me. I sent you an email a couple hours ago. Take care!
Your blessings are coming sister..... You are an amazing woman.... Well done for opening up and being vulnerable. This is a lesson... You will now do things differently based off this experience ❤
Thank you. ☺️🙏🏽
Praying the Lord will provide. ❤ Much love and blessings in Jesus name.
I have had this same experience. When at two different churches. One was in Scottsdale, AZ and the other was in Arlington, TX
This is why I don’t go to church!! I stopped going to church when I was 17.. I am 31 now. I love God!! God is my rock but I will never step foot in the church. I’ve seen a teenage mom get put on the spot by my old pastor and humiliated cuz she got pregnant as a teen without marriage.. that was my last straw.. the church is supposed to help and not harm. I don’t go to church.. my heart is too big for those church leaders.. and I know a lot of ppl in the head of the church who are cheaters, liars and everything. I’ll pass.
If you want to love God you have to obey God's word. Don't forsake the assembling together. We are told to love the brethren, help each other, pray for one another and comfort one another and many other things. I pray that you start to obey God soon and find a good church and continue reading God's word.
@@Medgeen-r4r You don't have to be in a church to assemble with other believers. Plenty of believers do more for others and are doing that work outside of the church building and being blessed by doing so!
God's sheep do need a Shepherd and I'm praying you will allow God to lead you to his chosen ministers. Your past experiences are very real to you but He can still make all things new!
That wasnt his place to humiliate her its a scourge on our society to have children outside of marriage but that is between her and God. She will suffer the consequences. Its his job to preach the Gospel.
We can't let what happens to other o
in the faith steer us away from Church. And we are the Church not the building when you fall away from congregating with other believers be very careful. Satan likes to get you alone so he can work on your mind.
All believers need a covering someone to guide them pray for them and teach them the word. Remember the Church is a hospital for the sick not a sanctuary for the saints. We are all a work on process none of us has arisen...
I'm praying for you. We love you❤ And want you to be safe during this brutal winter.God is able to do Exceedingly above all we can ask or think!
Sadly, I think churches are the last place we should look to or expect to get help from. We are in the last days; the love of God will wax cold in people's hearts. I believe the Church is under God's judgement. I found myself in your situation some years ago and no one in my 'then' church would even allow me to sleep in my car in thier driveway! Not a couch to sleep on in thier home. But God provided a stranger who took me in (me and my infant child). We stayed with her and her family for 9 months until I was 'on my feet' again. We are still friends today. I always think of them at this time of year!
I tell this story over and over again because it is a testimony to the love of our Father. Somehow He works things out for us . . . in His time.
After having another experience like this with churches a few years ago, I've pretty much had nothing to do with churches. But this hasn't shaken my faith in the Lord.
You will pull through this. Always remember, God is in control.
The right people will help you. I rented a room once from a church member.
Thank you for sharing your story, probably someone else who had applied for the job was more befitting for the role. We really don’t know everyone’s situation.
Have you tried any of the shelters for women?
Me personally as a Single Black female with 3 Sons I moved away from predominately Black Churches because my mom paid tithes to the same Church for over 20 years and her pastor wouldn’t even do her eulogy at her funeral, didn’t even send flowers lol and I started to seek other Churches different cultures and I’ve been treated way better when I was down and out. My kids and I were blessed with $20 childcare per week which in most cases usually is more expensive than rent nowadays and they even bought my kids clothes. I don’t feel that we have to be tied to one Church. Other Churches provide you with the same word but act according to GOD. They stand on their WORD
Church hurt is the worse! I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I remember calling the leader over the marriage ministry to inform her that my husband had moved out of our home when I was at work. I told her he cleared out the bank account, cut off the house phone and many more things. She asked me how did I get her personal number? I said you taught marriage class for weeks and provided everyone involved the class your number. Needless to say, I didn’t attend church for 3 years. I was so devastated. This video spoke volumes to me. If there is anything I can due to help please let me know.
I AM GOING TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST ! BLACK CHURCHES DONT TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN AND MOST PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES WOES
Church people the worst smh I avoid at all cost
Awww…smh! These people are not the church. My eyes were opened long ago and it hit hard!
God Con. SMH the Cathedral in my city is surrounded by the prostitute drug homeless and downtrodden of society. They don't pay taxes. It's heated all night and doors are LOCKED 😢 Jesus would have those doors unlocked and open all day and night to help those poor people
Jesus is coming and he's bringing the sword
REPENT please
Wow. So sorry.
Thank you so much, this has been on my mind lately.
If you dont believe in Everything they preach at the church; they judge you. You can do this independently. ❤
I love to see the good people finally winning. And when I say say winning, I mean blessed .. getting what we’ve always deserved. We always give and get screwed over and it’s time for us to get blessed.
So in the Bible, it talks about how the first will become last, and the last become first and the meek shall inherit the Earth ..
so I think that is happening in our world now. We all realize we can come together this way.. use the internet to connect and help ..
And I’m so happy that you have been able to start your UA-cam channel and it is anointed by the Holy Spirit.
There is no reason for any of us to be alone if we don’t want to be. Reach out and go within.
The answers come from within. ✌🏻 🙏
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing! Sending love from- Jersey ❤
@@joannaazar7396 Thank you from Jersey… ☺️🙏🏽
That’s sad.
I’m listening to your story and my first question was why not tell everyone you know you need help. You never know where your blessing is coming from. Also, God uses man to be his arms and feet.
Don’t block your blessings.
Tell Everyone she knows her business ?
Not a good idea, in my opinion, at all.
@ that’s why many people struggle with various things in life - pride!
Don't vent and tell your business to no one in church. Your business will be all over the congregation. It's best to go to a therapist.
@@honeychick4ever280 vent? She stated she needs help so she reached out to two people. Does she need to give lengthy details? No. However when we show up to things as if everything is “ok” instead of asking or telling people I’m looking for a job or things are a little tough right now do you know of any places that offer assistance for x, y, z, no one is going to help.
A closed mouth doesn’t get feed or helped.
@Tamiekasmithphotography : Exactly! And they led her to false hope and they didn't help her. But they raised a lot of money for the church but couldn't help her. It's disgusting that these corrupt greedy church leaders are not helping the people in their own congregation but taking the money for themselves. Trust and believe God will lead her to the right people and open appointments for her.
A lot of those churches out there really suck!!😮😢
I'm praying for you. God gives generously to all without finding fault.
Watching from the UK. I find healing in hearing your journey
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
🙏🏾❤️ Praying for you! Please keep networking with people and other churches and speak with social services in your area. ❤🙏🏾
One thing that is good that u have a job need focus on getting small place to live. As far as thinking start business that need b later time. But living in car can make u ill. That my opinion. Just need hussle for now to get into at least tiny apt. God bless u. I'm sure all will b fine. God on ur side!
Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
"Humble" yourself,
continue to Thank God gor the blessings he is preparing for you
The Church is a building as the ppl make up the Church and just like what goes on at jobs the spirit is either light or dark
Hang in there, praying for you!
Those who attend it and can help, should. The church simply needs to put out the call. We’re supposed to look out for the interests of one another.
Yeah… I lived in my car a few years ago and contacted a “mega” church, with several locations around town. I was working at the time, and the only thing I needed was a safe place to park and sleep. So I asked if I could sleep in their parking deck a few nights out of the week, until I found a place. They refused due to possible liabilities. It’s a business 😞
❤❤love you sis I praying for you
You're doing great sis! Been here since around 200 subs and seeing how well the channel is doing has been incredible! Guys remember to WATCH the ads(at least 30 seconds before skipping is all that's needed for it to count).
Thank you so much… ☺️🙏🏽
In my opinion the real church is in the soul as where I believe God dwells, I stem clear of churches congregations Pastors all the structural things that are ran basically like the government. Blessings as always! on your journey!! you will rise and be successful and peaceful under your own roof!
You're right. Its definitely a business. I've always been for churches being taxed, especially since the tithes and offerings also pay the pastor's salary. But that's my opinion.
Yes ma’am! gotta watch the 501 c’s… it’s just a business like the med system. None of it need be this way!😡
@@poet82nit’s ridiculous and narcissistic for any pastor to be living in luxury off of the blood of the parishioners! Then say that can’t offer a bag of groceries even!😡 I am so disgusted by this! We have to use our God given discernment!
@@tmo6517 I honestly don't know where that came from. I wish we can go back to the days where the church owned a home and whoever was the pastor at the time got to live in the home with their family but the property belongs to the church. And the pastor's family may have gotten a stipend to take care of groceries etc., but never a full on salary over six figures. It's ridiculous and out of hand. That's why my tithes and offerings go to those in need. If I ever come across someone who needs groceries, then I buy them groceries. If I ever come across someone who needs gas in their car, then I will put gas in their car. That's my tithes and offering. I'm not paying the pastor salary. Or the worship leaders salary, or whoever is on staff payroll.
@@Mariabadaboom Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
I hate to say this but some churches run out of money at the end of the year for benevolence. Go to that other church he suggested. They may be out of money now but they will have a new budget in January. Oh, also go to your state social services. In my town they do help people with deposits. Unfortunately, in larger states, there are so many people living in their cars that they can't help everyone. I'm praying for you. Tell everyone, you never know who can help. You are a beautiful educated woman. 🙏
Hello Queen… I think of you often❤❤❤I feel also they went through the motions with you. We have so much faith. My spirit says some discrimination weAs at play
I suggest you reach out to your pastor personally. If he's your Pastor then you are obligated to share what your going thru because he knows and loves you. Most churches just don't have the resources to house people...but your pastor knows you personally and may be able to offer you temporary help and keep an ear out for housing for you. Like another supporter said in the comments at best, you may get a hotel room for a few nights from an outside pastor. I understand your private, but thisbis thr time you should share what you're going thru with your Pastor.
Beautiful!
You needed to talk to that assistant pastor again, face to face not over email. Ask him what could have been done better in the interview.
The church should be available for all people but today it doesn't care. It's more of a pep club, sad 😢.
Dear sister,chances are if a few of your friends in your home church know your situation,than more than likely so do others.. (I’m just keeping it real as people do talk) So, call your home church and tell your pastor personally what’s going on with you .Why? So that they can help you…period. You can still do God’s work…don’t let self imposed pride get in the way of humbling yourself to receive help. You’ve been through a lot, you shared with the entire world your journey and some of us are better for it…It’s time .
You look great.❤
@@msaverielle Thank you ☺️🙏🏽
