This video is very timely for me. I have lately been made aware of how many prideful and envious thoughts I have. It is not easy to accept that I think this way but I believe it is a blessing that the Holy Spirit has brought this to my attention. I asked our Lord to help me and the thoughts have dissipated somewhat. Thank you for this video. You really explain things in a wonderful and insightful way.
That’s awesome! You’re welcome :) I feel like since I made this video I have been more aware of my thoughts too and am able to catch myself better. It’s just having that awareness of what is entering your mind isn’t it :)
Yess huau this is so true. Thank you so much for this transparency. 🙏🏾 We have to examine ourselves every day, and judge the real reason we do and say certain things, because our hearts are deceitful. 😫 May the Lord have mercy on me. I missed you sister 🤗
We must meditate on the word and fill our minds with the word of God and truth. When a demon tells you your not saved or God isn't real fight back with the truth and God's word. No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Yes Amen! Revelation 12:11 We overcome satan by personally testifying of what the Bible (the word) says the Blood of Jesus did for us. The word is truly our weapon against the fiery darts of the evil one.
It's so good to hear from you! I'm glad you are well. Thank you for your message! It has been so hard for me lately. My baby passed away at 39 weeks gestation in February. And I had been hoping and praying for a baby for 3 years since I was married. Now, every time I see a baby, I hurt inside. I feel angry, sad, bitter. Why do they get their baby, but I don't get mine? I would NEVER wish harm on a child. I would absolutely NEVER want ANYONE to have to go through what my husband and I went through in the loss of our daughter. But seeing a baby should not anger me or make me bitter. I'm aware of the problem, but dealing with it is so hard. I am praying each time that God will make me feel love and joy each time I see a baby. But right now I just hurt.
Oh I am so sorry for your loss, that is SO hard!!!! ;( Please just keep talking to God and eventually He will heal you of your pain and you will get to the point where you can "rejoice with those who rejoice". This does not mean that you will not still feel sad for your loss from time to time, but it will become less about what others have, and more about how God has comforted you and pulled you through it.. and maybe one day you will be able to help other people in the same situation.
@@harvestgleaner3585 So sad to hear this sister, may God comfort you and your husband. Dont lose heart, in the fullness of time God will make all things beautiful and restore you fully, be encouraged - God is still good, he will strengthen you - Nahum 1:7 comes to mind. Blessings x
Hi Ieva, it's really good to see another video from you. For me personally I do pray that the Holy Spirit will smash my pride, my unforgiveness & expose my fleshly sins. God bless you & your family, Michael.
Hi! Ieva, Thank you for the encouragement. A scripture that has helped me deal with temptation issues many times over the years is... 1Corinthians 10:13😇. There is a promise in it from God that He will always provide a way to escape the temptation no matter what the temptation is.
Thank you Ieva! This message could not have come at a better time for me. It is both a conviction and a conformation. God bless you, so good to see you again😊
I have severe ADHD that I just found out about and I'm so stunted socially and academically. Angry, depressed, and the adderall gives me intrusive thoughts that last days (especially with everything happening here in America) Pray for me!
@@ievaf9333 The time thing is a issue for sure. Would of been perfect during quarantine but now I'm back working 40hrs a week and might have to pick up more hrs. Plus I'm really trying to get some more driving practice in to finally get my first car. If I ever do get some free time I'll let you know for sure! I still follow someone you interviewed :).
@@bellatrix336 Enjoying the other side of Eternity now, having a blast for sure... she passed on almost two years ago, but it's awesome to know that she's with the Lord now, thanks so much for asking/remembering her, God bless you richly!
Great video Ieva! Good to see you again. I, along with many others I'm sure, really appreciate your authenticity in covering these real life issues we all go thru in our walk with the Most High. This is a very timely message for sure. Thank you and Yah bless you & yours!!
Thank you Jason! Really appreciate it because it can be very shameful to speak about these things. But with God’s help, we are being renewed into His image. God bless you and yours too!
@@ievaf9333 I understand and we're talking about our flesh and how to deal with it as Godly as possible and this is what makes you so easy to relate to and helpful to others & myself in our walk. An we ARE being renewed! HalleluYAH!!
I have those same horrible thoughts, Ieva. I will judge ppl on their looks, often. And race too, sometimes. And I'm not exactly good looking myself or that smart. I feel guilty and get mad at myself. I hate that part of myself. I want to be able to look past looks and race and see their hearts. I struggle with those. May The Lord help me to take my thoughts captive and love like He does!
Amen! Bless you my friend. If you are aware of it, you are already halfway to the breakthrough. God will help you to deal with what he highlights to you in your heart. So often we do things without even noticing, but once the Holy Spirit picks up on things and you get a strong feeling against something in your heart then you can be sure that God is wanting to highlight it to you and change it.. and He always helps us during this process.
Good that you are back. Here a mom of three, I know what's it like to pursue our life with God and struggle with everyday life. Let the Holy Spirit lead us.
Hi Ms.Ieva, it makes me so happy to hear from you again. Last night (about 10pm Malaysia- not sure what time is it for you), I had a very strong conviction to pray for you and your family. It was a very short prayer. It makes my heart so happy to see your video now ( in the morning- it was the first video in the front recommendation page of UA-cam). Just thought I would share this with you. I've been watching your videos a few years now and learnt so many things. God bless you and your family. Thanks to God!
Congratulations on your new baby eva. I'm so glad you uploaded today. I was looking for your channel just yesterday. I really appreciated what you said in this video and I want to work on this area. I think you give great practical and applicable advise.
Missed you my lovely and love your messages as always. I hope you & the fam are doing well, is Joshua crawling & destroying the house yet☺🤗. Great to see you, you are glowing & loving this hair style on you sis. Blessings x
Thank you!! Yes we are doing well :) and yes, Joshua is crawling and standing up on the furniture haha :) thanks for the comment about my hair! God bless you and your family xx
Sveicieni! 🤗🌻 Happy to see you back, thank you for letting Jesus use you. I'm an unsaved, weak sinner, having no mental power to even pray these days.. watching UA-cam Christian videos is most I can do these days .thank you for messages
@@ievaf9333 ehh, I wish it was so, but praying is like a work for me. It is easier to just watch and listen than to say those few words...and it is like this and then it gets better...ups and downs..this feels like back to sluggish self, like dead inside. Do you have any idea how can a person be so weak and dead? Is that normal? Am I created by God this way and if so, why, don't He know that I will struggle to reach out for Him...
@@rosehannah4845 oh, well, this is also turning back to Him. I know it is wrong. But cannot stop. Have you read the story of Jonah in OT? Is so true..I really judged Jonah when I read that story first, but today all I can think about is that how much I am like Him. I told Him weeks ago I won't complain ..here it goes.
Ieva - So glad you made a video. I almost emailed you the other day. I was wondering how you were doing. Glad to hear things are going better. I too struggle with being so judgmental. When I was younger, maybe up to 6th grade, I was not judgmental at all. I think back to those days, but it is almost hardwired in me now to be that way. Great advice on how to nip it in the bud.
I will try :) I just want to post from the heart to my problem is that sometimes I don’t have much to say. Maybe I will ask for video requests though to get some inspiration.
Hey Eva, love watching your videos, you are such an inspiration :) I had a question relating to a video you had previously posted about modesty when being a Christian. I really want to get abs.However I don't want to be immodest and expose my tummy. if I don't expose my tummy I wouldn't have to motivation to workout for abs. What is you view on this?
Hello Sarah :) thank you so much for your encouragement! The Bible says in 1 Timothy 4:8 that physical training is of some value but godliness has value in all things. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and one thing that we can do to look after ourselves is exercise. Exercise keeps us healthy. If you want to work out and get abs without showing this off to the world then I think you can go ahead in my opinion. As long as this is just about being healthy and looking after your body through exercise. There is a reason why God made our bodies to feel good after exercising etc. Just watch your thoughts and motivations for wearing certain things etc so that you don’t purposely try to make people lust over you etc but I don’t see why you can’t exercise and look great, I’m sure that your husband or future husband will appreciate it too. Just obviously keep God first because holiness has value in all things so it is more important than exercise. Also I guess just double check your heart for the motivation behind it but if it’s something like “to feel good about achieving something through physical discipline” then that’s fine... if it’s like “I have seen that my friend has them and I want to show her that I can look even better than her” then that would be something else lol
Lol sorry I am replying at 5am when I can’t sleep and I just reread your question.. in regards to the “if I don’t show off my tummy then I wouldn’t have the motivation to get abs” part... so then your motivation is to get people to think highly of you and think that you are very attractive? To be honest, and I’m not saying that this is a good motivational factor, they would think that anyway just given the fact that you stay in shape. You don’t have to specifically show your stomach. When you exercise, you get toned all over and this is visible through nearly all forms of clothing. If you don’t have the motivation to do something without showing your stomach then probably you don’t have good motives for it. What does God say about it? I think that you can have a conversation about this with God.
@@ievaf9333 thank you so much Eva, you have wonderful insight about such things...yes I clearly understand what you are saying and I believe i need to first examine myself and develop the right intention for working out. Thanks once again 😊 God bless you dear sister in Christ ❤️
Hi Ieva :) this isnt an extremely important comment; but I was just wondering if you do anything specific for your hair? Did you stay on the same diet? I think I may have some of the same allergens as you, just wanting healthy hair. I apologize if you may have mentioned this in the video, I haven’t listened to it yet but wanted to ask this while you may be around to answer still. God bless you and your family 🤗🙏🏻
Hello :) lol it’s funny that you should ask that... during lockdown I decided to do the no shampoo challenge to detox my hair from chemicals so I have been washing it with water only for the last two and a bit months.. I have wanted to do this for a while but I haven’t ever had the time away from people to do it (hair is pretty greasy for the first 6 weeks-ish and then becomes nice once the natural oils in the hair adjust) so I thought that I would use this lockdown to do it! God bless you and your family as well :)
When demon tells you youre not saved, then point to Jesus. He is evidence of our salvation, not us. His finished work on cross, not us. If salvation depends on us only 1% we would go to hell. Because we are saved by faith only in Jesus death,burial&resurrection,the gospel 1 Cor 15:1-4. Paul is our apostle for this dispensation of grace, Romans-Philemon.
Many thanks for this helpful and honest encouragement!
Thank you for your teaching.
You’re welcome
