I'm literally crying right now because this is for me. God has me in this waiting seaso, and I'm so tired. I know He has good plans for me, but I'm becoming impatient. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for, but God keeps telling me to be still and enjoy Him while we travel to the destination together. Yet I feel like a child on a road trip screaming are we there Yet.
you've described my exact situation too. exactly how i feel
He’s been telling me to sit still for a while. I wanna say about a year or so. I’ve been impatient but I finally had to surrender. I no longer have the strength to do things my way.
I’m going through the same thing. Literally crying and waiting and crying and praying
I’m watching from Detroit Michigan
Surrender entirely. HE wants all of you...Then trust the proces. HE will reward you for your faith in HIM. 🙏🏽❤
If God had snapped His fingers and perfected you instantly, He would have robbed us all of the opportunity to see His faithful transformation on display. You’re not the same person you were when you started this journey and we’ve gotten to see a rare glimpse of what usually takes place in secret as He’s pruning us. It is more powerful than you know. Thank you for being obedient.
This is such an underrated comment.
I was looking for this comment!!!!
This is such a sweet and true comment. Love Sis Meg
🛖🛖🛖 “Our lack of patience can cause you to turn back to a place God delivered you from.” Love that you’re being patient with yourself and the process. Thank you for these words of wisdom. 🙏🏽
No seriously 🎯 smh
This is a great episode. “Wait and pray, wait and fast, wait and serve, wait and love, be active in your waiting. Don’t just sit there.”-MEGAN
Love it‼️
Took note of these powerful gems:
→ Although God might have promised you something & the promise hasn't come yet, that doesn't give you license to take things in your own hands
→ Even if the promise isn’t here rn, what is produced in the waiting is preparing us to receive a promise.
→ But even in the state of not really knowing or understanding what God is doing, I do know that I’m serving a God who knows me, hears me, loves me, serves me & has given me the Holy Spirit to help.
→ Allowing the Lord to be Lord and not getting in the way
🎯🎯🎯
New to this podcast, I’m watching from Harlem. This was recommended by my little Sis🤗
I'm watching from St. Maarten in the Caribbean! Thank you for allowing God to use you.💕 Listening to God use you has become a part of my weekly schedule.
Omg was crying my eyes out last night. Like why can’t I have my life figured out by now. I have the job I prayed for the family I prayed for, but I feel stagnant now. Like so many things I want to accomplish financially but I’m like when are these things happening for me? And then I hate that I’m complaining but I’m in my feelings at the moment. I know in due time I will be provided for and placed where I want but the timing is …. Whyyyy is it taking sooo long…😢. Still grateful though.
It’s about the process sis worship God while u wait and thank Him for ur healthy family and the things u have now. But also ask Him for your next assignment bc He may want to answer your prayers in a different way🤷🏾♀️
@@leedaboo__4713 I pray and I’m hopeful that his timing is always the best. The process sucks though
“The lack of patience puts you at risk of going back to where God had brought you from.”!!!!! Woah❤
Megan, I don’t think you understand that your transparency with your walk is so inspiring to us! A lot of us can relate to you in regard to wanting to strengthen our faith, spirituality, obedience and discipline for the lord. BUT, IT TAKES TIME! It takes time to become the woman or man God instilled in us! It takes time for us to learn, research and understand the glory of God IN TOTALITY ! The Holy Spirit is all over you sis. Continue to be authentically you, because your current platform is your way of answering the calling on your life! We will continue to support & uplift you from all over the world 🥺❤️🙏🏽!
Amen 🙌🏽
What this episode confirms is that there will always be areas in our lives where we will not necessarily have it all figured out. However, our contentment is not found in the doings of daily life, but is found in our daily bread through JESUS CHRIST. 🤎
A lot of us have so much more in common than we realize. Thanks for sharing!❤
MEEEGANNN.
Watching this episode today when I tell you it was like looking in a mirror. Everything you said to the T.
You are living in your purpose without a shadow of a doubt. The way you deliver Gods word is everything to me in this very moment and I thank you for that. I want to thank you for sharing your journey and your relationship with him because just yesterday I sat and cried and screamed because I can’t take the growing pains. & really it’s the discomfort in growing it sometimes just feels unbearable and I just want to have moment to catch my breath. This made me feel like I’m not alone. I’m also impatient in every way you stated.
I want to reference back to when you said that God wants you to be the vessel of his word and therefore you feel like you should have everything downloaded and it made me realize it’s not about having everything in order to be good at delivering the word but literally just taking that leap and doing it will resonate with those that truly need it. This made me want to give you a hug and tell you don’t be so hard on yourself we are all just here to figure life out and you don’t have to have it all figured out to deliver his word. And it was like WOW, the same compassion I felt for you right there is the same compassion I need to have for myself. You don’t have to know it all to be good at what you do because it truly shows that you put your everything into your brand, you are authentically you and the passion you have for what you do is FELT. I just had to share that with you, stay blessed 🫶🏼
Girl, I feel you. Learning to live for Him alone, it's tough. So worth it. But not easy. She is speaking truth straight to my soul. Thank you Lord. You love your children. You never stop leading us, giving us wisdom and guidance. Praise praise praise praise You Jesus!!!
Whew that point about how your impatience can send you back to slavery. Chills. Whew I think of every toxic situation I wanted to spin the block on. Thank you for sharing this.
Even though we all struggle with the frustrations of trials and tests, thank God for His Holy Spirit AND that each one of them is an open book exam! Glory!🙌🏽
This is right on time!!!!! This is exactly how I feel. I've been struggling with impatience but also finding how to have fun (God's way) in full surrender.
God will literally send you a Word when you need it most. I think patience is where a lot of us fall short and as humans we tend to put a timeline on God but we need to remember that He is God and He is all knowing!! Trust His timing and know that He is preparing you for greater. We love you Megan, keep doing the work of the Lord 🙏🏾
Amen❤
@MeganAshley YOU are a blessing. Your transparent verbal processing of your walk with Jesus is helpful in letting others see/serves as a reminder that Jesus desires a LIVING love relationship with each and every one of us❣️
Never clicked anything so fast because I need this!!! ❤
Waiting Season does get hard . 💎
My girl Meggggg about to reach 200k, look at God. We love you downnn Meg! 🤎
This is a word I didn’t want, but a word I desperately needed. To remember that patience is a part of the journey, it’s a part of the walk with Jesus! Not only that but it is fruit of Holy Spirit! It is painful! It is a lot but it is something He imparts within me! Thank you Megan!
As I am listening, the Lord highlight that a lacking patience exposes something with me. It exposes unbelief, that I think that God is not capable or wise in something.
My God! Please forgive me!
I’ve been so discouraged lately and frustrated. Translation: impatient. This is on point and on time. Sigh.
Yupppp he definitely working with me on being patient that’s was one of my things I prayed for to him about and let me tell you I’m getting better though except for being in traffic I’m sorry I’ll work on that 😂
I needed this. Almost went back. This episode saved my life directing me back to faith. Thank you for pointing me back to Him ❤
Still in the first part of this episode but wanted to share a revelation I had about myself - the progress I have made has actually been accelerated even though I feel like I’m behind. Where my heart was 2ish years ago, it’s only by the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit that I have gotten this far in my faith.
Felt this way not too long ago and He started teaching me patience in every way and it’s been beautiful because I’m not in control He is. Thank you for reminding me to trust Him in EVERYTHING. Glory to Him.🙌🏼
This is a powerful message. By the way you are doing a great job. I can see the Holy Spirit moving thru you. You are inspiring me to be more engaging with my relationship with God
Patience won't just fall in our lap but we continue to be consistent with God words and wait upon him and be of good courage... blessing to you my sis I love your work don't get weary in your good works cause you touching other people
Relatable. Why are we in such a rush? I'm going through this too. The sense of urgency is real. I think that's directly tied to a feeling of insecurity & fear. I've always had to make sure things are taken care of, finding little to no rest. I need to learn to productively rest in his waiting room.
MEGAN!! 😭 I LITERALLY was just talking to God about this. Literally getting frustrated because “why is my time taking this long?” And although I’m not yet familiar with how He speaks, I feel like He said to me, “be patient and just be obedient” 🙃 Lord. I needed to hear this..thank you so much for this. 😭🛖🛖
God has been urging me to work on the fruits of the spirit and patience is definitely one at the top of the list
This is just powerful. We can't manipulate GODS hand when it comes to his timing. Thank you. I feel encouraged
Very relatable. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty. It really helps to know that I'm not alone with these feelings and going through these life experiences.
Edit- I definitely wish as Christians we didn't go through so much uneasiness. I want a sense of peace and tranquility in my life too as well as the elevation and promises that God has given me. But I've learned that God will give us peace in the midst of the storm. Everything in due season!
“The waiting is preparing us for His promise..”
I love your transparency about your walk. It's truly inspiring. Simply hearing you has created a shift in my walk that I needed. Thank you! I pray he continues to use you
Patience won't just fall in our lap but we continue to be consistent with God words and wait upon him and be of good courage... blessing to you my sis I love your work don't get weary in your good works cause you touching other people
I’m watching this in my car on my lunch break. I’m new here, and I feel that you are so encouraging.
THANK YOU FOR THIS. Currently on year 3 of dealing with infertility/miscarriage. My endometriosis diagnosis actually brought me back to Christ, so I know that this suffering is producing good fruit and is filled with purpose. But that still doesn’t mean it’s not difficult. Recently got potentially more negative news as far as fertility goes, but thank you for the reminder that God is ORDERING MY STEPS and this is just another step to revealing His Will. Praying for patience for everyone else in a waiting season and continued faith that His plans are good and His ways are better than our own ❤
On point, Megan ❤ Thank you for these episodes. This waiting season WHILE walking forward by Faith. I so need this, Thank you Jesus.
Patience is keeping the word of God to NOT compromise (Revelation 3:10). Stop 🛑 teaching behaviourism ...
2 week of my 21 day fast and this is what I desperately needed to hear. I was raised in a results based household and I'm learning that I'm just a fast paced routine kinda girl. I can thoroughly understand needing the new normal so I can get in the groove.
❤Amen Sis, you are beautiful inside and out! Great episode of overcoming impatience. “The lack of patience puts you at risk of going back to where God had brought you from!” That hit home base for me. God bless🎉🙏🏼 Watching from Saskatoon 🇨🇦
Every episode be dead on point. It’s like dang this is for me. Lord knows I need patience
Im watching from South Africa
Let’s start looking at tests as beautiful!
It’s to show us where we did and didn’t apply our knowledge!
Showing where we do and need to embody it ! 💝
Megan!!! You be speaking my language!!! We seriously be going through the same stuff processing the same stuff in real time! Thank you for the encouragement and I’m not alone! 😂
I was just sharing how critical I am of myself and it is a results of my impatience. I have the understanding that I am impatient yet it shows up in so may areas. My desires for genuine connections, my marriage, my communication, my parenting, my study time in the Lord, my prayer time, , my alone time with God, my work life and so much more. This hit home fore sure.
The Holy Spirit has been telling me to have patience with the suffering I’ve been going through lately. He kept using that word. He told me to watch your podcast the other day and then the next day my husband was ministering to me and he kept using the word totality which he never does. So later I went to your channel and knew the spirit would show me the right video and I found this one. This has helped me soo much. It’s been 6 months of suffering and you even said “God’s so patient with us and we can’t even be patient for 6 months” lol. The spirit has been trying to teach me this for a while and this truly helped me understand. Thank you
I’m watching from Colorado, but I live in New Orleans. I’m on a work assignment. This episode is amazing. I am so impatient with everything. It hit hard when you said the lack of patience can cause you to turn back to the place where GOD delivered you from. I struggle daily with obedience, patience, and hearing from GOD. Watching your podcast does give me hope and inspiration. Thank you!
I'm watching from Uganda🎉🎉. Came for the Jackie Hill Perry interview, stayed for the Biblically sound content. Thank you for being a vessel of honorable use for the Lord. I pray that He blesses you and the work of your hands.
Yes, thank you... be prepared... study for the test... abiding in the Lord.
Mannnn this is me right now- my impatience has returned me to a place I KNOW God saved me from smh
Wow this came at the perfect time😭 currently struggling with impatience
Thank you God for speaking to me through this Podcast, thank you that I have ears that can hear.Thank you Lord for your grace over my life and for allowing me to have a growing relationship with you.Thank you for using Megan as your disciple,please continue to give her courage and wisdom.🌻
🛖🛖🛖🛖 “Our Lack of patience can cause you to turn back to a place God delivered you from”
- Thisss is so very true. It can be so tempting to go back to a familiar place not realizing on the other side of being in the season of being uncomfortable is beauty and a level of knowing God even more ❤️ Love you Megan! Keep goingggg!!
If you let it, the waiting season will reveal your character and God’s. Whew.
I’ve been avoiding this episode, I just know it’s for me.😭
Megan your podcast is a tool in my walk with God. Your processing is honest and open about how this walking with the Lord isn’t easy but it’s worth it. Thank you for your obedience to the Lord to equip others with their walk and in the waiting on God. In totality Fan! Let’s so to war!
GOD BLESS you Megan. Because of you, your platform, your life. I am a better man. More importantly a better man in GOD’s eyes. You have brought a new understanding of a woman being a man’s helper. Genesis 2:18. I always thought that only applied in marriage. I am wiser now because of your relationship with GOD. For that I am Grateful and may GOD our Father BLESS you beyond understanding.
Watching from London, UK & came across your videos through your episode on Unwavering Faith (which was so so rich & good to me!)
I'm here watching from Dubai, I love love this podcast cause has helped me to channel into my spiritual journey, knowing God is something else but walking, obeying & following HIM is a win❤❤❤
Thank you! I’m mean that in all translations. I’ve been watching your journey for a while now, all the way from Aotearoa (New Zealand) and you’re the only content creator on UA-cam that I’ve been consistently turning to. Your perspective has been refreshing and inspiring especially your content about God. I was raised as a Christian (Latter-Day Saint) but only as an adult and Mother have I valued gaining my own testimony and being curious about my deeper beliefs. You have been one of the ONLY perspective’s that I have found insightful and real. Thank you!
From a woman in Aotearoa please continue to seek courage in all you do, you don’t know who’s benefiting from your content.
Love and light, God bless
How do you know God promised certain things to you or how did God reveal his promises to you?
I really need to hear this. Thank you Megan for this word . Thank you for saying yes to God & allowing him to flow thru you.
I was having a moment of feeling rejection, & wanting physical companionship while being impatient in this season he has me in. & more so due to outer influence & resurfacing emotions from trauma I’m healing thru. The context of this episode has helped me & I thank you 🙏🏽❤️
Am in a waiting season too but i am not focusing on the problem . Am focusing more on the one who can solve my problem . Its not easy but i am putting my faith in him who can deliver me from all my problems . I believe GOD will pay for my tuition fee in america and my visa interview will be approved
I love this platform !! It’s def brought me so much joy and helped me during my darkest times
Hi! Been watching from South Africa! ❤
Amen to being honest and transparent🙌🏽💛! That’s where I am. Embracing, being still, and no hiding or rushing.
Thank for being honest. I am struggling with this as well. ❤ God Bless you
HE IS restoring and renewing for sure!!!
I love when you tie the Bible verses into what you have to say from your personal experience. It humanizes you and shows me that the more I lean into the word, I will find all the answers I need. Thanks Meg❤
Thank you Father God for Megan Ashley!!! I love her love for you and us!! Im eating it up In Totality ❤
Pay attention to His track record ❤
Hi I'm listening from Urbana, IL. My obedience have saved my life giving myself grace how far I have came I love the woman I have evolved into! Ladies give yourself Grace of how far you have come and how much you have overcome! Let God continue to guide you to pour into all of us with your daily testimony 🙏🏾❤️
I'm new to your podcast and I feel like I'm getting fed God's word on here. Thank you. I'm from Kansas
I so appreciate this episode because I have been trying to work through not moving with a sense of urgency in life. That learning how to slow down for me has been what's been key in this season of my life and its been a STRUGGLE. Praying for all of our strengths as we continue to walk with God and trust his timing!
This is crazy. I was driving to work this morning impatiently late lol, and I had to say Bri you are so impatient. Lord help me be patient. Though I was still impatient getting to work, I know God is still working on me. This video popped up on meeee right on time Lord 😮.
On time message 😭😭😭
You don’t know how much your podcast speaks to me! I am so glad the Lord guided you to start it! It’s such a blessing! 🙏🏾🙌🏾💕
Isaiah 40:31 ❤
I honestly need more patience right now, i need Christian friends, more community and probably a counselor. This is where i am right now i need to be deeper in my relationship with God also through knowing others who i can serve and love and learn from. So that i can share Jesus with others. I've noticed all the change around me right now is making me feel like God's process for my life is too slow but i know God's timing is perfect so i need to keep trusting him in that.
I love how detailed and intricate God is. That He can release a Word that is relevant to so many of us😢 Thank you for talking about this ❤ Glory be to God.
🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖🛖
I love you so much
This was so on time for me!!!
I really feel like you're walking this out before me and I'm so grateful 🙏🏽
Megan you have a Mega church podcast. You bringing that word to us. And we are grateful for your deliverance of God.
I love how intentional you are in being led by the Lord and not by your flesh; it is truly inspiring. ❤
I really needed to hear this. Was ready to give up this morning and this message gives me strength and hope. Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
So encouraging! God has been telling me obedience is better than sacrifice.
Please educate me on why do you think it’s relevant to mention Mrs. Jackie Hill-Perry on every episode(lately). I have so much respect for both of you ladies, for all that you are doing for God’s Kingdom. I’m Mexican and maybe it’s a cultural thing(enlighten me) but continually repeating Mrs. Hill-Perry makes me think you want to show off or attach yourself to her fame. Praise GOD for appointed friendships, but you have your own race(gifts, talents) to focus on.
The same reason that she mentions jay and Jordan’s name in every pod ! As well as her kids those are the ppl that is in her day to day life !
Why do people feel the need to nitpick about everything? She literally loves God and is helping so many ppl but you focus on this smh
I can resonate with moving with a sense of urgency too. I am definitely an impatient person as well. This was an on time convo frfr👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is what i needed!!! Thank you for this message. God bless you
