    Such an important topic. Sometimes as a young person I struggle with knowing God’s will but I made a personal list that I want to share with you all!!
    How to know if something is God’s will.
    1. Ask God to confirm
    2. Seek Godly counsel
    3. Do you have peace about it
    4. Does it line up with scripture
    5. Does it line up with your life goals & values (from the Lord) 💜
    From a Christian UA-camr 💜

    • @coffeeandbibletime
      @coffeeandbibletime  2 роки тому +32

      Bring it to God to confirm through scripture! A good question to ask as well is does our life goals and values align with God? Thank you for sharing this is helpful for so many!

    • @kbg12ila
      @kbg12ila 2 роки тому +8

      As has already been replied I would question the point about life goals and values. Our life goals should be to be like Christ and out values should be God's values. Both of those things are in scripture.

    Honestly, I needed this video so bad. This really humbled me. I have so much time on my hands and yet I don’t read The Word as much as I should. I do read The Bible in the mornings but when I do, I don’t leave feeling like I learned something. I just lazily read my way through which is NOT the way to go about reading The Word. I’ve been praying, “Lord, help me get closer to you this week. Show me something through your word”, but how can I get closer to him if I don’t seek him? How can I learn something through The Word if I don’t open my eyes to it, if I remain with my eyes closed? Thank you so much for this video because it really shined a light into the conviction I’ve been having about where I am in reading The Word. May this video bless everyone! God bless all of y’all! 💗💗💗

    *Here are my notes (feel free to write it in your journal! :)*
    *John 10:1-10*
    *Jesus is speaking*
    * He calls you by name (direct, personal)
    * His voice is meant to lead you
    * Jesus desires his sheep to respond to his voice
    *Jesus goes ahead of you*
    * He expects you to follow Him*
    - The sheep follow Him because they know His voice
    - Jesus is not calling us to follow Him blindly
    - Jesus is expecting us to follow Him because you know Him, His voice, His character, and His heart for you as your loving father
    * He expects you to know no strangers voice*
    - Turn your ears away from the voices of the world (Guard your heart)
    - Pray for reverence of God’s word
    - I have access to all the riches of God’s blessings in abundance RIGHT NOW
    - Take out things distracting you from God
    - The thief comes to steal (Ex: our time with God and in fellowship with other believers), kill, and destroy (sin)
    *The sheep that know their Shepherd can discern his voice:*
    * Take inventory of things I need to shed in order that Christ become number one in my life
    - The word of God needs to have higher place in my life
    - Quiet time: Be quiet and listen to God’s word
    - Journal our prayers to God
    *Summary*
    * Let the Holy Spirit move
    * Be engaged and grounded in His Word
    * Strip away the things that are leading you away from Him through being in constant prayer and constant communion and fellowship with God in His word

    This video has changed my life .. I’m speechless. Not only did I feel freedom while watching I felt my chains breaking throughout the video.. As soon as it ended I deleted social media and prayed to God for this to happen in my life that He is the one I want to follow over everything else. I can’t thank you enough. The conviction was R.E.A.L.

Time to remove the distractions and focus on God’s Word. Not going to lie, I got a little teary eyed watching this video. Your passion and love for God is beautiful. And I just want you to know that what you’re doing is truly making a difference. I’ve been struggling to draw closer to God and I know it’s all these distractions that I allow to clutter my life. I really needed to hear this. It’s given me the courage to do what needs to be done and for that, I am so thankful. God is good. God Bless! ❤️

    OH, social media. I deleted my "beloved" Instagram a while ago.. haha!! It was so strange to delete it... because honestly I was so attached to it, with all my photos/memories...But I knew it wasn't worth it. And honestly how disgusting that it was that hard to delete... It's just an app. And I haven't really missed it, and I feel freer than ever from it. So anyone debating to delete their social media because it's quite literally stealing and sucking all the life from you!! !!DELETE IT, my friend!! There is so much more joy in just living your life, being present, being content, and loving where the Lord has you rather than being so distracted by social media!!

    God refine me. Search my heart. Jesus I want you #1 in my life. Strip away anything ahead of you in my life. STRIP - IT - AWAY!

  • @elisheba222
    @elisheba222 2 роки тому +21

    I needed to hear this! I watched the entire video and let me tell you, every single word touched my heart. I’ve been letting myself be chained under the bondage of anxiety and obsessive actions. Doors I thought were closed were reopened. I’ve been allowing voices in my head to speak lies about my self-worth. I’ve allowed myself to be consumed with selfishness and fearfulness. I’ve neglected my quiet time. This is not the pattern I want to keep up and this video spoke VOLUMES to me. I’ve been carrying around so much UNNECESSARY baggage and I didn’t surrender fully to the Lord. God has reminded me AGAIN that I can’t do it all on my own. If I want to live my life with peace and joy, I MUST depend solely on the Holy Spirit. God is so faithful even when we are faithless!

I am remolding my house, and I am having a corner with my rolltop desk I hv devoted to my time with my Father God. His word is “is” so precious. Sometimes when we don’t listen to His voice we miss out on blessings He wants to give us. And I don’t want to miss out on anything He has for me. Right!
    May God Bless you always, ke ep spreading His word. You are His sheep. Lov always, in Christ, Lin

    It gave me some random commands and I felt guilty for not obeying.
    By the Lord’s grace, I can now tell confidently that - if something leads me away from my shepherd, it's not the Lord's voice , it's the thief's.

I have been resisting because I wasn't watching anything bad, and I still dedicate time for the Lord almost every day. It is time that I could be going deeper into my relationship with God though. I've been hearing this message everywhere and now here. I'm surrendering now, Lord. Forgive me for taking so long.

    This video was so powerful and impactful. The part that hit me was “surrender” and “strip away.” Those are both powerful prayers to pray and can seem hard at first but it so worth it. This definitely was a video the youth needed to see because it’s real, it’s genuine, and it’s a side I never seen of you before and I loved that. I pray you put out more raw videos like this again, I definitely felt something.♥️♥️

I’ve been so selfish and full of denial of my sin for a long time now, all my life even, and yet still God with all His love and mercies keeps telling me and showing me that it needs to change- I need to change. And I’m so so thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for the second chance I’ve been given because without HIM I would be dead. Physically, emotionally, mentally, and especially spiritually dead. As a born-again Christian I pray in my heart continually for God to strip away all my idols and to give Him the glory He deserves. And this video also helped me recognize some more idols that I give a pass to. So Again thank you forever and thank the LORD who convicted me to see this now. God bless you :,,D!!!

    Uh wow, thank you so much. As well for your honesty about the struggles.
    God healed me by his grace from my eating disorder when I was about 17. From one day to another. Long time before I turned to him completely. But I always felt that he is there, and in that situation with the eating disorder, one day he suddenly spoke to me so clearly, that this "lie" in my brain did fade away immediately. It's like he wiped it out. But first I had to say "yes, you're right, it's wrong and has to stop".

    This is a #word Tay! Thank you for sharing this and allowing the Holy Spirit to use you! I’m convicted as I type this. Just the other day as I was locking up my place in the morning about to leave to go to the gym and feeling so smug about my dedication to exercise, and then literally out of nowhere, I heard the Holy Spirit say “only if you’d be so dedicated to your quiet time as well”. I literally just paused and allowed that to sink in! It’s so easy to prioritize other things but our time with God. We need not squeeze in God in our timetables but rather put Him in the Centre of our lives.

      This comment speaks facts and I can totally relate to this. Lately I've been giving God scraps of my time. I haven't been giving Him the quality time that He deserves which does get to me because I know He's constantly knocking at my door waiting for me to open so He dines with me but all I do is ignore and run to things which will never sustain me. But you know what the good thing is? He's patiently and graciously waiting for me to run back to Him and I'll do so after watching this video. Thank you for the video Tay and thank you Kuhle for bringing this comment forth :)

    Amen Taylor. God truly speak through you in this video, recently I've just been spending so much time on Facebook and not enough in his word and in fellowship with him. I legit saw this video a didn't want to watch it but that said night or early morning, I dreamt I was talking to a group of people and I said to them, "My sheep knows my voice" God is so intentional

  • @jessk187
    @jessk187 2 роки тому +1

    Sometimes fasting from our interests or hobbies, whether they be food, social media, streaming films/shows, or anything else, is essential to discerning God's voice. It forces us to create time in our day we otherwise would not have given to God so that we can use that time to focus on God and listen to His voice with no distraction. Fasts are usually temporary, but if the change improves one's life dramatically they can become permanent. It is important to always realize that our Heavenly Father, the Good Shepherd, is the Highest Good and we should surrender and have Him guide our lives.

    Hey Taylor❤
    Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much I needed this. This video couldn't have come at a better time. I am gonna be real and honest here, but the season that I am going through led me to believing that my relationship with the Lord was not growing. Although I had my quiet times in the morning, I didn't really feel anything. Now I know that i need to cut some things out of my life that are leading me away from God. And I realize that I was so blind to that. Thank you for encouraging me to FULLY SURRENDERING to the Lord.
    Keep on spreading His Word
    Blessings to everyone.🙏

    I’ve been so busy with college and I have A LOT going on it’s crazy. My quiet times have fallen through the cracks. I still pray throughout my day of at least try to and play worship music but reading the Word is important. Lately I’ve been trying to get back into things with my quiet time but I leave feeling nothing and I just feel numb and far from God. I really felt encouraged in this video to just sit in the silence with God and just be still with the Word. Thank you Taylor. I will be also be praying and asking if there is anything I need to cut out of my life.

You are correct if it doesn't help you to glorify God then it needs to go. I am so grateful for Gods transforming Grace ... Because I need his grace daily. I will be praying for your continued strength in letting go of food and anything that doesn't push you toward god. Xoxo God bless you

    Thank you Jesus! I needed to hear this. I had been praying that God would show me how to hear Him. I also struggle with emotional eating sometimes among other sins. I know that God calls me by name because when I am tempted to sin, I either hear my name being called and think it’s my mom. But I go and ask if she called and she’d say no. Or I either hear gospel songs start playing in my head. To God be the glory!

    I know I’m a year late to this video but I’ve had it saved to my watch later since it was published. I actually chose this video to watch today because I knew I needed to spend some time with God today but I didn’t really feel like opening up my Bible myself because, frankly, I haven’t really done that lately. I didn’t expect it to be more than simply how to discern His voice (aka didn’t expect to feel convicted 😂) but I needed it. It nailed down what I knew God had been telling me for the past week or so: to remove the idols and focus more on Him. I feel like this gave me the strength to continue to prioritize Him everyday - at the very least to give myself reminders to do so and make the effort to actually do so. Thank you for this video and for sharing the Word and what God has convicted you of as well. I also definitely appreciate the other lesson from the passage as well of being able to recognize the difference between what the world is telling me and what the Lord says is true.

    Thank you so much for this video! It didn't show me any new areas in my walk that I need to work on, but it certainly did remind of the ones that Holy Spirit has previously convicted of, but I had kept doing because of the pleasures I get and this feeling that "oh, it's not that bad! It's not exactly anything wrong per say". I've been convicted of watching dramas, spending time on IG and phone in general, as well as emotional eating and overeating. Having watched your video, I'm starting to get this feeling that because of me not dealing with these stumbling stones of mine God has to withhold the blessings and the works He has prepared for me. You're right. I don't want to waste the precious time God has given me. This fight won't be easy. I can already see the similarities between current fight against these things and the fight I had gone through to (by God's grace only) get set free from the addiction to p*rnography. The pattern is completely the same! I guess this only proves to me that the things Holy Spirit convicted me of aren't as harmless as I thought them to be.
