Amen! I’m 42 & a virgin, I’ve never been married before, honestly I’ve dealing with Lust that I want to stay away from it. Please keep me in prayer & I want to save myself until marriage.
That's awesome. I was a virgin until 20 and I wish i would of waited until marriage. I beg of you to wait. Don't hurt God like that 😢. That's the only regret in life that I have, and I try to live a life without regrets. I always say I'm grateful for my mistakes because it made me who I am... but God!!!!!
I will be praying for you this weekend sis ❤️ God knows that this is not easy in a world that has such a different agenda. The Lord has kept and protected you for a reason. What a gift 🥹🤍
Im 15 years old and have decided to wait until marriage. Ive never been in a relationship and havent even held hands woth a boy but im excited to see what God has in store for me!
Oh Deborah the reason why your channel is one of my fav Christian UA-cams channel is because you are so pure and sincere, I can feel and identify myself in each testimony you have and for sure God has been using you to touch one of us here, I can see from the comments. I do did a lot of the things I really regret as well. As you said, if at least I have someone to show me the light like you do now, but thanks the Lord his love save us whenever and his mercy is unconditional. I praise the Lord for your life and may him continuously blessing you ❤🎉
Congrats Deborah! I’m glad to see God is always doing a work in you. I’m a 36 y/o male virgin, only by the grace and strength of God. I even had a 4 year relationship that eventually became an engagement. We didn’t marry so we didn’t have sex, although, that relationship wasn’t free of sexual impurity. Tbh it’s only earlier this year after being born-again have I committed to staying pure from all forms of sexual immorality. Lustful thoughts come up in my mind every now and then but God is always transforming me.
@@meucontodefalhas9085God bless! Thank you. I pray that God provides an everlasting love for you with His own love and a covenant on earth with someone if that is what you desire. 🙏🏾
Your husband is out there, Deborah. Me and Fiance have also been practicing abstinence been about 2 years. 2 months until we get married :) we are so excited it feels good to obey God & save myself for marriage not long to go now!♡
Hi Debbie, thanks for sharing this, I never had sex but i fall in pornographie and masturbation and it was a daily battle for me for many years now and always been a feeling of shame for me because i felt hypocrite, by God grace i have decided to totally stop it am only 1 month in this journey of total purity and surrender and i believe that by confessing like this sin has loose his power over me and am going to celebrate thr victory i get in jesus name. May God bless you ,you are younger them me but your a example for me because you are transparent in your journey with Christ. Sorry for my english French is my first language
I kept myself from masturbation, for almost 3 years. I have been falling ever since.. It all started with disobedience about sharing my testimony and exposing myself to a certain group of people. It's totally my choice, because sin IS a choice. So I'm fighting. Please pray for me. God still loves me but that is not a green light for ongoing sin.
The struggle is real sis!! In your weakness God is strong - 2 Corinthians 12:9 🤍It’s so hard, if not, impossible to get out of this in your own strength. Call on Jesus! He withstood every temptation so who better to help you through when you feel tempted then the Lord himself 🥹. You are set free in Jesus name!! May you lose interest in the lustful things that are tormenting you still, in Jesus name I pray that! Amen
I’m a 31yo virgin who deals with same sex attraction and also have never been in a relationship by the grace of God. It is a struggle for sure but I’m praying for you and I hope you’d pray for me as well.
I am 28 and I have never been in a relationship. People think I am weird because of it. I was hurt and I made mistakes, sleeping with men that left me the day after. I was broken, looking for love and losing my values in Christ. Now I regret some of my choices, sometimes we when look for love we kind of lose our minds. Please, never feel ashamed of who you are, a DAUGHTER OF GOD.
Amen.. am 27, and your story is a replica of mine. It takes strength to share. Thank you for motivating me to keep in my purity. I've been in it for 2yrs now.
Happy 2 years. So proud. This video was very beautiful. I’m a 22F virgin and Ive been battling lustful thoughts. Thank you for your wisdom and giving me the strength to know why it’s important to wait. God bless you.
I relate so much to what you’re sharing here… I literally woke up from that when I entered my 30s, I am 34 now and also realising that I have never truly been in a relationship, just encounters with men. I am grateful that the Lord has rescued me from that kind of life. I am about to celebrate a year of celibacy and I pray to God to continue on this journey until the husband God has for me finds me.
I like how you mentioned the false sense of empowerment. It's very concerning the amount of promotion the world has towards empowerment through sabotage. I'm proud of you for turning your life around, and running this beautiful social campaign to enlighten and encourage us. You consistently hit home with your words. God must be pleased. 8 years celibate, myself. Would absolutely not be possible without God. Went to him in vulnerability, and he immediately lifted a burden. So proud of myself, and thankful for God.
With you in prayer sis❤I’m celibate and I’ve been struggling with porn and masturbation almost all my life and I know the pain and suffering it brings to one’s life.
I just hit my one year of celibacy last week Friday and I thank God for keeping me because around this time last year I was depressed and in a terrible low soul sucking relationship.
Hi Deborah! I want to praise the Lord and thank you for this video, I had a really rough week because of this topic. I just turned 25, still waiting for marriage before having sex and have never been in a relationship. This has been really hard for me lately because I crave intimacy, having someone I can talk to and stuff. The thing is I was really ashamed of that feeling because I felt like I should be content just with my relationship with Jesus, so I would never even pray about it and just silence that feeling as much as I could but it was killing me inside. So thank you for reminding me that this is normal and that I can pray about it and ask God for his help. Thank you so much ❤
Deborah you hit every thing u said on the nail , YES THE CHURCH DOESNT SPEAK ON ANYTHING ABOUT OUR SEXUALITY OR SODOM AND GOMORRAH TIMES VICE VERSA US NOW IN 2024 I LOVE TO LISTEN TO YOU SPEAK ON THE BIBLE AND THE TRUTH 😊❤KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO AND BY THE WAY IVE BEEN celibate FOR 5 years now going strong 💪 ❤❤
In my Early 30's and i have struggled with this topic quite a bit in my life i pray and hope that this hits so many young woman around the world. Please you are worth so much more than a man liking you or thinking you are pretty you are NOT missing out on anything you can wait!
I'll be two years celibate in April 2025, I thank you for your transparency and allowing God to use you, its been such a blessing please remain encouraged to share :)
Lil sis, I can relate! I too am two years abstinent. It breaks my heart that i accepted those things. Praise to The Most High that I have been delivered
Whew Deb !!!!!!! I have been following you since the beginning. From the apartment, to me having Big Faith and me getting my own brand new one. To me going through the same struggles. Especially this one. 32 next month and never been in a relationship. I’m telling you, you are God sent to my life and together we will defeat the enemy. You don’t even understand how much you have helped me on my walk with God.
And with me never being in a relationship ever, but I desire MARRIAGE so much. I still have faith God is soon sending me my earthly husband ! 2025 prayerfully ! With big faith, it is already done !
Sending this to my 13 year old daughter! Thank you Deborah and remember we no longer live in condemnation! We live by faith through Gods Grace! We are all forgiven including you sis!❤
Have you heard of the young lady (she is 23yrs) who slept with 100 men and regret it after. Its sad that we live in a time in which purity is seen shameful. Being a virgin in your teen's is seen wrong. Also if I can add, to those who have children, it is very important to tell your children who important is to wait for the right one. Sex isn't for pleasure its a physical action to be done with the one you love. As I was growing up my parents never told me how important is purity and one's virginity and to wait for the right one. You see movies and TV shows show you sex to be something so normal and I grew up with that mindset. So sisters and brothers in Christ lets not let the media teach our children how important is this topic we got to teach them the truth of these subjects even if its very uncomfortable for us to share.
Oh wow, congratulations Debs! 🤍 As a teen girl, hormones do really kicking in haha. Thank you, sis, for this video! It also reminds me to wait until it is the right time (but there were times I get tempted to be distracted on boys and allowing my emotions to take over, pls pray for me y'all. may God help me 🥹). And if it's okay everyone, please pray for my little brother bcs he’s sick at the moment. Also, for me bcs I’m dealing with rashes (it's frustrating 😢). Thank you and may God bless us all 🫶🏻
Ah sis I’ve been there!! I think being a teenager is so hard when your hormones are raging! But God knows that, he made you this way 🥹🤍 May the Lord strengthen you on your purity journey. May he protect you from lustful agendas of the world and from guys with bad intentions! And I pray healing out over you and your brother in the name of Jesus. By Christ’s stripes you are healed! I rebuke the schemes of the enemy over you and your family in Jesus name. You are set free and healed in Jesus name 🙏🏽 Much love lil sis! 🥰
@deborahbx_ I didn't expect you’ll leave a comment! Thank you so much, sis 🥹 I really appreciate it and may the Lord bless you 🩷 Also, praise the Lord because we’re doing better. I declare that we are fully healed in Jesus’ name!
I find it hard to imagine myself having a husband and being loved because no man has ever loved me, romantically. I had my first relationship at 27 and he was emotionally abusive so it didn’t last long. Now I’m 31 and I only ever strike the interest of non-Christian guys.
Oh sis I’m so sorry to hear about how your first relationship was so traumatic 😔 You deserve the best of the best as a daughter of the most high!! I know it’s hard to imagine being loved properly when you haven’t known what that’s like, I can relate to that so much! But we can know that our future is in the hands of our father. We might not know how or when, but our God is able to surprise us beyond what we can imagine with an incredible spouse! All in his timing ☺️ in this season we get to delight in Jesus fully. Go deeper in your relationship with him, may his love overtake you fully. You and I have everything we need in him 🥹🤍 nothing is impossible for our God, and may the Lord protect you from worldly men in Jesus name!!
Amen 🙏🏽 happy 2 year anniversary!! I also I’m waiting for my marriage from the Lord I am 3 years and 8 months celibate I’ve been saved that long as well. God has done so much in my life I can’t even explain in words it’s amazing how he works 🙏🏽 May God continue to use you sister ! Have a blessed weekend everyone
Congratulations Deborah God bless you sister. It was so refreshing to hear you talking about your journey. You are so right about how the world encourages sexual impurity it’s all over the place, but doesn’t care about the consequences that follow how we are so broken afterwards. It makes it seems as if God is boring and he just doesn’t want me to enjoy myself when all he’s trying to do is protect me from the heartache and preserve me for the good things he has for me. I’m grateful for the mistakes not proud though. I believe he shows his love even in the consequences.
Congratulations on your two year celibacy journey and for being obedient and trusting the most high.I started my own celibacy journey on 07/2018 and is definitely not easy but it's rewarding.
Praise God for boldness! I’m so encouraged. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our Testimony! I pray you continue to be set free and empowered by His spirit sis! 🫶🏽
Congratulations to two years of celibacy. Glory be to God, for keeping you strong and protecting for you for the spirit of lust. Appreciate you so much for Deborah. God bless you always🙏🏾🤗💗.
Thank you so much sis 🥹🤍it truly wouldn’t have been possible without the Lord snatching me from the fire. Thank you Jesus for all you do for us as your daughters! 😭
I too have only been on my celibacy journey for 10 months now. I am 21. I have never been in a relationship. And finally I have someone who relates to me . Because I , too was exposed to things I shouldn’t have that made me overly sexual to say the least . It does deeply pain me how much access I gave to men too quickly . But I know after this celibacy journey, the next person I will give myself to is my husband
I can so relate to never being in an actual relationship and still crossing that line, BUT GOD. You are such an inspiration and blessing! I pray I get to meet you someday, on this side of heaven! 🤍✝️
Trust me, I feel the SAME. I cannot believe what I allowed and man, it breaks my heart for my younger self but I can move on w the lessons learnt and help other people along the way. :(
You're spot on sis! I definitely wish I hadn't opened that door before marriage, but I have learned my lesson and the Lord has redeemed me ♥God wants to use our pasts to help lead others in the right way. I'm about to be a year abstinent next month, something I thought I could never do but the Lord has given me the grace to do it and it has changed my life for the better. I wouldn't trade the clarity of mind, peace in my life and higher self-esteem I've attained for anything in the world anymore. Thank you for such an encouraging and truth-filled message!
Im so happy for you im going to be a 1 year celibate ❤️🥰 may God bless you so proud of you keep going im praying for you btw i love your content hopefully i can make the next trip
God bless you Deborah. Thank you for your transparency, it is not in vain you are speaking to and encouraging many. I understand that you feel exposed and vulnerable at times with the amount of information that you share but it is unto the glory of God, helping others of all ages and setting yourself free at the same time. Be encouraged little sister. Hugs !
I remember when I went through a break up 2017, I dedicated myself to the Lord again and its now 7th year celibate. On the anniversary when I was entering 7th year there was the biggest snow fall on this date. Never had I ever seen so much snow like this and I heard I wiped your sin away like snow. When the Lord told me to wait for Him and who He has for me, I knew it would be 7 years journey and it pained me so much that this is a long journey I would have to endure and it felt unfair because the secular man... he went to sleep around/date straight away to try and get over us. Anything to distract him. It was the most cruel pain I ever felt while I was called to dedicate return fully to Him. It went by so abundantly and quickly and I would never take away these important years of my covenant with Him. Everyone thinks I look 20. I'm so grateful to learn what vow and covenant means on such a deep level only He can help us understand it.
@@snenhlanhlamashile6398 I wrote I look 20 because I just wanted someone out there to know that those years they have to wait He preserves our appearance so its not time wasted away - I forgot to add this part!
Amazing amazing wisdom in this video … thank you so much for being brave and sharing this ❤ I have sent this to two of my loved ones !!!! I was celibate for 4 years and waited for my Godly husband ! It was so worth the wait ! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Deborah!!! I'm already crying because we have a similar story. 21, never been in a proper relationship but crossed that line BUT GOD! thank you for sharing your testimony and we praise the Most High for how far you've come!🥹❤️
This was a great episode! I love when you mentioned to be real with Jesus when you went to hug or kiss a young man when you are single. I’ll never forget that advice. God bless you, Deborah, for being vulnerable with your testimony. ❤much love from Chicago USA
When my now husband and I were still dating.. I turned to the Lord and began feeling conviction about having sex with him. I told him and we stopped having sex for two years. We then got married and are pregnant! It was hard, but the Lord saw us through it.
Preeeach Sister😮💨🙌🏽 I couldn't have said it better myself👏🏽 THANK YOU for daring to go into "difficult" topics. I thank God for your life, I have been following you for about a year now and am a faithful viewer of your channel. At first I was curious that we had the same name and then I clearly saw how God worked through you and I am rooting for you from Sweden🇸🇪❤
Wauw praise the Lord!! 😭🤍 it’s such an incredible blessing to have you here on the journey. We’re truly in this together as sisters in Christ. It’s not always easy, but you’re not alone 🥹🙏🏽 have a blessed Christmas sis!! Much love
I love this topic and wish it was easier to speak to women in Christ who have fallen into the trap of “I feel empowered by having sex.” The comparisons you’ve made are so good - how do you know healthy food is better for you than fast food if all you know is all you know?
Deborah, thanks you for being our honest sis in Christ 💜 God bless you! Im team celibate too, it's almost been 3 years by God's grace alone 🙏🏾 I pray all of us live the Truth of God : 1 Corinthians 6 :13 are bodies are for the Lord. May our thoughts glorify Him, may our mouths speak His truth and his love, may our hands be His instruments 🙏🏾 Amen !
Congratulations on 2 years 🎉 I’m currently 6th months abstinence. Thank you for your content, it’s helping me on my relationship with God. I’m a college student in Colorado and I love watching your channel! ❤
That’s amazing sis!! Praise the Lord 🥹🤍 He’s so good to us as his daughters. I pray that he will continue to strengthen you in your relationship with him! You’re deeply loved and highly valued, don’t ever settle for less 🥰 it’s a blessing to have you hereee
Lisa Bevere has spoken about that… being the woman that we needed or wished we’d had when we were young, for others. You’re doing that so beautifully. 💜
I would like to ask for prayer for myself and someone very dear to me. We recently went through a breakup that was rooted in our differing spiritual foundations. While we both love and care for each other deeply, I realized that I had to prioritize my relationship with God above all else, and that led to a difficult decision to let go of the relationship. She is on her own faith journey, and I pray that she continues to grow closer to Jesus and finds her identity fully in Him. I’m also praying for wisdom and discernment for myself, as this has been an emotional and challenging time. I want to trust God’s plan, whether that means reconciliation or moving forward separately. Please pray that God’s will would be made clear to both of us, that we would fully surrender to Him, and that we would find peace in His love and guidance. Thank you.
So proud of you, sister in Christ for standing firm. God is blessing you for your work. May the Lord bless you this Christmas season and I am blessed to be a part of this family. From a brother in Christ whose been there, Kirk 😊
Thank you so much Kirk for your kind words 🥹🙏🏽 praise the Lord almighty! It’s truly a blessing to have you here as a brother in Christ. May the Lord continue to strengthen and encourage you as you walk with him into everything he has for you!! ☺️ Have a blessed holiday season yourself too!
God bless you sis! You are speaking TRUTH! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable!! You are helping so many people and are a beautiful blessing to the body of Christ! I know the Lord has a special young man for you that will come along side of you (when the time is right) and you both will be a powerful weapon for the Kingdome of God!! Have a blessed day and keep speaking what God gives you for his glory🙏❤️
It feels so difficult now. I have acted on my fleshly desires with my partner in the past and now the Holy Spirit is leading me on this path of purity which seems to be the opposite of what my partner wants. I'm tempted sometimes to give in to him but it's either him or God. I'm choosing to stick with God, but that decision does not feel good now at all. I know I'm giving him up by doing this.
I see the goodness of the LORD in your story sis ♥️✨ none of us is perfect yet the LORD chooses us, equips us, loves us. You are admired and loved sis ✨♥️
Thank you, All the glory goes to our Lord God✨I’m 15 years old and have been watching you for the past year and I love your videos, so encouraging and you are like a role model to me. At the end of the day though I thank God for giving you the wisdom and heart to share and explain His word💗May God bless you🤍✨
Thank you for sharing your story and being open about the daydreaming, I definitely related! 😅 My husband and I did not wait despite growing up Catholic and with those views from our families. I had many "situationships" before him too, but he and I grew more in our faith after our marriage. We still are! I can say that the intimacy I share with him does not compare to any from my past, even when I was in love. You're so right about how the world's values are backwards. I wish people strength because celibacy can't be easy, but waiting to be with the one is truly special! 🩷
Congratulations love 🎉🎉 Thank you for being transparent. The walk is NOT easy. You were deff talking to me, my past is not great I felt empowered when sleeping around and like you said nothing to show for it. God set boundaries in place for a reason and I am happy to know the truth. I am almost a year in to celibacy and it has been peaceful not having to worry about a man that’s not leading me to closer to God. I am patiently waiting though 🫣
Thank you so much for your encouragement Deborah ❤, we appreciate you sharing and being so vulnerable with your experiences to help us in our own personal lives and may God bless you.
You made me cry sis, but in a good way! Congrats by the way :) I really needed to hear this and I’ve been struggling a lot lately in general but what you brought up about submission is key. It made me think of the two verses in James: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” James 4:7-8 KJV ❤🎉 By the way, have you ever thought about creating a book club?
I love you, D. Thank you for being the big sis I've never had. It's so beautiful to hear that I'm not alone and that I can overcome it. God bless you, sis 💕
I had to rush as soon as I saw the notification. Thank God for your progress & I pray that God will keep you in his way and will for your life. Thank you for using your life to be a blessing to us all. May the Lord reward you. Lots of love from me sis❤️!
Amen! I’m 42 & a virgin, I’ve never been married before, honestly I’ve dealing with Lust that I want to stay away from it. Please keep me in prayer & I want to save myself until marriage.

And with me never being in a relationship ever, but I desire MARRIAGE so much. I still have faith God is soon sending me my earthly husband ! 2025 prayerfully ! With big faith, it is already done !
Sending this to my 13 year old daughter! Thank you Deborah and remember we no longer live in condemnation! We live by faith through Gods Grace! We are all forgiven including you sis!❤
Praise the Lord!! 🥹🤍Amen sis! We have been washed clean!
Have you heard of the young lady (she is 23yrs) who slept with 100 men and regret it after. Its sad that we live in a time in which purity is seen shameful. Being a virgin in your teen's is seen wrong. Also if I can add, to those who have children, it is very important to tell your children who important is to wait for the right one. Sex isn't for pleasure its a physical action to be done with the one you love. As I was growing up my parents never told me how important is purity and one's virginity and to wait for the right one. You see movies and TV shows show you sex to be something so normal and I grew up with that mindset. So sisters and brothers in Christ lets not let the media teach our children how important is this topic we got to teach them the truth of these subjects even if its very uncomfortable for us to share.
Oh wow, congratulations Debs! 🤍 As a teen girl, hormones do really kicking in haha. Thank you, sis, for this video! It also reminds me to wait until it is the right time (but there were times I get tempted to be distracted on boys and allowing my emotions to take over, pls pray for me y'all. may God help me 🥹). And if it's okay everyone, please pray for my little brother bcs he’s sick at the moment. Also, for me bcs I’m dealing with rashes (it's frustrating 😢). Thank you and may God bless us all 🫶🏻
Ah sis I’ve been there!! I think being a teenager is so hard when your hormones are raging! But God knows that, he made you this way 🥹🤍 May the Lord strengthen you on your purity journey. May he protect you from lustful agendas of the world and from guys with bad intentions! And I pray healing out over you and your brother in the name of Jesus. By Christ’s stripes you are healed! I rebuke the schemes of the enemy over you and your family in Jesus name. You are set free and healed in Jesus name 🙏🏽
Much love lil sis! 🥰
@deborahbx_ I didn't expect you’ll leave a comment! Thank you so much, sis 🥹 I really appreciate it and may the Lord bless you 🩷 Also, praise the Lord because we’re doing better. I declare that we are fully healed in Jesus’ name!
I find it hard to imagine myself having a husband and being loved because no man has ever loved me, romantically. I had my first relationship at 27 and he was emotionally abusive so it didn’t last long. Now I’m 31 and I only ever strike the interest of non-Christian guys.
Oh sis I’m so sorry to hear about how your first relationship was so traumatic 😔 You deserve the best of the best as a daughter of the most high!! I know it’s hard to imagine being loved properly when you haven’t known what that’s like, I can relate to that so much! But we can know that our future is in the hands of our father. We might not know how or when, but our God is able to surprise us beyond what we can imagine with an incredible spouse! All in his timing ☺️ in this season we get to delight in Jesus fully. Go deeper in your relationship with him, may his love overtake you fully. You and I have everything we need in him 🥹🤍 nothing is impossible for our God, and may the Lord protect you from worldly men in Jesus name!!
@ Amen. Thank you for your kind words! God bless.
Amen 🙏🏽 happy 2 year anniversary!! I also I’m waiting for my marriage from the Lord I am 3 years and 8 months celibate I’ve been saved that long as well. God has done so much in my life I can’t even explain in words it’s amazing how he works 🙏🏽 May God continue to use you sister ! Have a blessed weekend everyone
Congratulations Deborah God bless you sister. It was so refreshing to hear you talking about your journey. You are so right about how the world encourages sexual impurity it’s all over the place, but doesn’t care about the consequences that follow how we are so broken afterwards. It makes it seems as if God is boring and he just doesn’t want me to enjoy myself when all he’s trying to do is protect me from the heartache and preserve me for the good things he has for me. I’m grateful for the mistakes not proud though. I believe he shows his love even in the consequences.
You look incredible in this video! Super beautiful and polished!❤
Oh thank you so much sis 🥹🤍
You don’t even know how much I really needed this. This was so timely.
Congratulations on your two year celibacy journey and for being obedient and trusting the most high.I started my own celibacy journey on 07/2018 and is definitely not easy but it's rewarding.
That’s amazing!! Praise the Lord! May he continue to strengthen you as you walk in holiness to become more like Jesus 🥹🙏🏽
@deborahbx_ Can you date and be in state of celibacy / semen retention?
Praise God for boldness! I’m so encouraged.
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our Testimony! I pray you continue to be set free and empowered by His spirit sis! 🫶🏽
Congratulations to two years of celibacy. Glory be to God, for keeping you strong and protecting for you for the spirit of lust.
Appreciate you so much for Deborah. God bless you always🙏🏾🤗💗.
Thank you so much sis 🥹🤍it truly wouldn’t have been possible without the Lord snatching me from the fire. Thank you Jesus for all you do for us as your daughters! 😭
U are not alone we in this together. What happens in the past does not define our future . Our heavenly father is enough 🙏
Amennn!!
thank you for being so vulnerable, I don't think you understand how many people you are helping being set free rn 💖💖 stay blessed dear sister
I too have only been on my celibacy journey for 10 months now. I am 21. I have never been in a relationship. And finally I have someone who relates to me . Because I , too was exposed to things I shouldn’t have that made me overly sexual to say the least . It does deeply pain me how much access I gave to men too quickly . But I know after this celibacy journey, the next person I will give myself to is my husband
Praising God with you! What a mighty God we serve.
Amennnn 😭🤍
I can so relate to never being in an actual relationship and still crossing that line, BUT GOD. You are such an inspiration and blessing! I pray I get to meet you someday, on this side of heaven! 🤍✝️
Amennnn!! The Lord is so so kind 😭🤍 He’s our rescuer and redeemer! Much love sis, and by the grace of God we will get to meet someday 🥹
Trust me, I feel the SAME. I cannot believe what I allowed and man, it breaks my heart for my younger self but I can move on w the lessons learnt and help other people along the way. :(
Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty sis 🥹🩷
You're spot on sis! I definitely wish I hadn't opened that door before marriage, but I have learned my lesson and the Lord has redeemed me ♥God wants to use our pasts to help lead others in the right way. I'm about to be a year abstinent next month, something I thought I could never do but the Lord has given me the grace to do it and it has changed my life for the better. I wouldn't trade the clarity of mind, peace in my life and higher self-esteem I've attained for anything in the world anymore. Thank you for such an encouraging and truth-filled message!
Im so happy for you im going to be a 1 year celibate ❤️🥰 may God bless you so proud of you keep going im praying for you btw i love your content hopefully i can make the next trip
God bless you Deborah.
Thank you for your transparency, it is not in vain you are speaking to and encouraging many. I understand that you feel exposed and vulnerable at times with the amount of information that you share but it is unto the glory of God, helping others of all ages and setting yourself free at the same time. Be encouraged little sister.
Hugs !
I remember when I went through a break up 2017, I dedicated myself to the Lord again and its now 7th year celibate. On the anniversary when I was entering 7th year there was the biggest snow fall on this date. Never had I ever seen so much snow like this and I heard I wiped your sin away like snow. When the Lord told me to wait for Him and who He has for me, I knew it would be 7 years journey and it pained me so much that this is a long journey I would have to endure and it felt unfair because the secular man... he went to sleep around/date straight away to try and get over us. Anything to distract him. It was the most cruel pain I ever felt while I was called to dedicate return fully to Him. It went by so abundantly and quickly and I would never take away these important years of my covenant with Him. Everyone thinks I look 20. I'm so grateful to learn what vow and covenant means on such a deep level only He can help us understand it.
Thank you for sharing ❤❤
@@snenhlanhlamashile6398 I wrote I look 20 because I just wanted someone out there to know that those years they have to wait He preserves our appearance so its not time wasted away - I forgot to add this part!
Praise God! ❤
Amazing amazing wisdom in this video … thank you so much for being brave and sharing this ❤ I have sent this to two of my loved ones !!!! I was celibate for 4 years and waited for my Godly husband ! It was so worth the wait ! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Totally nailed it sis! God bless you Deborah❤
Deborah!!! I'm already crying because we have a similar story. 21, never been in a proper relationship but crossed that line BUT GOD! thank you for sharing your testimony and we praise the Most High for how far you've come!🥹❤️
Congratulations ☺️✨ I’m two years abstinent too! It’s such an amazing journey!
I'm also from London! I've been trying to find more Christian friends and I would love to connect x
Praise the Lord!! 😭🤍That’s so incredible sis, congrats! Send me an email so we can connect :)
deborahbijk@gmail.com
Thank you so much, sweetie! ☺️💖 I’ll send you an email soon! 😊x
This was a great episode! I love when you mentioned to be real with Jesus when you went to hug or kiss a young man when you are single. I’ll never forget that advice. God bless you, Deborah, for being vulnerable with your testimony. ❤much love from Chicago USA
🤍🤍much love sis!! It’s such a blessing to have you here from Chicago 🥹 You’re not alone on this journey with Jesus!
@@deborahbx_ thank you 💖
I used to have lustful thoughts and romanticize but Yahuah really helped me overcome that. Praise Yahushua ❤
Amen!!
When my now husband and I were still dating.. I turned to the Lord and began feeling conviction about having sex with him. I told him and we stopped having sex for two years. We then got married and are pregnant! It was hard, but the Lord saw us through it.
Wauw that’s amazing! Such a beautiful testimony of obeying the holy spirit’s conviction even when it’s hard 🙏🏽🤍 praise the Lord!!
@ I am grateful that my husband was okay with my obedience to the Lord. He is not as strong in the faith as I am, so I was truly blessed with that.
Thanks for sharing ❤ our stories are so similar it’s wild ! Sending much love and prayer ! ❤❤❤❤
The devil is a liar. Thank you Jesus for your grace and goodness.
Amen Sis! Thank you for this and being so open! ❤
My first time commenting and I just want to let you know that you have really been a big help ❤ you 😊
Preeeach Sister😮💨🙌🏽
I couldn't have said it better myself👏🏽
THANK YOU for daring to go into "difficult" topics.
I thank God for your life, I have been following you for about a year now and am a faithful viewer of your channel.
At first I was curious that we had the same name and then I clearly saw how God worked through you and I am rooting for you from Sweden🇸🇪❤
Wauw praise the Lord!! 😭🤍 it’s such an incredible blessing to have you here on the journey. We’re truly in this together as sisters in Christ. It’s not always easy, but you’re not alone 🥹🙏🏽 have a blessed Christmas sis!! Much love
I love this topic and wish it was easier to speak to women in Christ who have fallen into the trap of “I feel empowered by having sex.” The comparisons you’ve made are so good - how do you know healthy food is better for you than fast food if all you know is all you know?
Dear Deborah, your innocence and pure heart shine beautifully. I pray that God fulfills the desires of your heart that align with His will.❤
Deborah, thanks you for being our honest sis in Christ 💜 God bless you!
Im team celibate too, it's almost been 3 years by God's grace alone 🙏🏾
I pray all of us live the Truth of God : 1 Corinthians 6 :13 are bodies are for the Lord. May our thoughts glorify Him, may our mouths speak His truth and his love, may our hands be His instruments 🙏🏾 Amen !
Thank you Deborah for sharing 😊 you help me with your openness! I thank Jesus
Thank you I needed this ! Amen god bless your heart and your Journey.
Keep going ❤❤
It’s great you are talking about this because it’s gets hard. 1 year celibate and fighting lust.
It’s not easy sis, but you don’t have to do this alone! Continue to call on the Lord, he’s with you in and through this 🤍🤍
Congratulations on 2 years 🎉 I’m currently 6th months abstinence. Thank you for your content, it’s helping me on my relationship with God. I’m a college student in Colorado and I love watching your channel! ❤
That’s amazing sis!! Praise the Lord 🥹🤍 He’s so good to us as his daughters. I pray that he will continue to strengthen you in your relationship with him! You’re deeply loved and highly valued, don’t ever settle for less 🥰 it’s a blessing to have you hereee
Lisa Bevere has spoken about that… being the woman that we needed or wished we’d had when we were young, for others. You’re doing that so beautifully. 💜
You're such an amazing woman of God
...thank you watching from kenya 🇰🇪
I would like to ask for prayer for myself and someone very dear to me. We recently went through a breakup that was rooted in our differing spiritual foundations. While we both love and care for each other deeply, I realized that I had to prioritize my relationship with God above all else, and that led to a difficult decision to let go of the relationship.
She is on her own faith journey, and I pray that she continues to grow closer to Jesus and finds her identity fully in Him. I’m also praying for wisdom and discernment for myself, as this has been an emotional and challenging time. I want to trust God’s plan, whether that means reconciliation or moving forward separately.
Please pray that God’s will would be made clear to both of us, that we would fully surrender to Him, and that we would find peace in His love and guidance. Thank you.
This is amazing ❤, so helpful, so so good. Thanks Deborah and praise God for you.
YEESSSS, the mental clarity and sobreity of mind is the best part ❤
So proud of you, sister in Christ for standing firm. God is blessing you for your work. May the Lord bless you this Christmas season and I am blessed to be a part of this family. From a brother in Christ whose been there, Kirk 😊
Thank you so much Kirk for your kind words 🥹🙏🏽 praise the Lord almighty! It’s truly a blessing to have you here as a brother in Christ. May the Lord continue to strengthen and encourage you as you walk with him into everything he has for you!! ☺️ Have a blessed holiday season yourself too!
God bless you sis! You are speaking TRUTH! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable!! You are helping so many people and are a beautiful blessing to the body of Christ! I know the Lord has a special young man for you that will come along side of you (when the time is right) and you both will be a powerful weapon for the Kingdome of God!! Have a blessed day and keep speaking what God gives you for his glory🙏❤️
I like your word for word intro! I say it along with you in my head 😊
It feels so difficult now. I have acted on my fleshly desires with my partner in the past and now the Holy Spirit is leading me on this path of purity which seems to be the opposite of what my partner wants. I'm tempted sometimes to give in to him but it's either him or God. I'm choosing to stick with God, but that decision does not feel good now at all. I know I'm giving him up by doing this.
So proud of you for choosing God ❤️
It will be hard I've been in the same situation and I had to give up the rela but God is so worth it❤
You are so relatable! 🥺 thank you so much for allowing God to use you ❤️ you’ve helped me so much on my faith walk 🙏🏽 keep going 🫶🏽
I see the goodness of the LORD in your story sis ♥️✨ none of us is perfect yet the LORD chooses us, equips us, loves us. You are admired and loved sis ✨♥️
This was perfect timing, ty sis. ❤❤
Thank you Deborah for your testimony because I think I really needed it ❤
Thank you, All the glory goes to our Lord God✨I’m 15 years old and have been watching you for the past year and I love your videos, so encouraging and you are like a role model to me. At the end of the day though I thank God for giving you the wisdom and heart to share and explain His word💗May God bless you🤍✨
Good thoughts today and so very true.
Also, you look beautiful (as always)-Love your hair that way!
Thank you so much sis 😭🤍
I am 27 as well and relate so much to this video, thank you so much sister in Christ ❤❤
🤍🫂
Praise God, may the favours of Abba Father be with you. Thank you. Sister in Christ 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
Bless you Debs, God is so good. God bless family 🙏
congratulations ❤ , i’ve been struggling but i’m so happy to see you doing so well
Hey sis,thankyou for sharing this and for truly being our sis in christ.....As always love from Kenya 🇰🇪.
Thank you Deborah. This is very powerful, sharing and talking about this will help girls and boys to know that waiting is better 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your story and being open about the daydreaming, I definitely related! 😅
My husband and I did not wait despite growing up Catholic and with those views from our families. I had many "situationships" before him too, but he and I grew more in our faith after our marriage. We still are! I can say that the intimacy I share with him does not compare to any from my past, even when I was in love. You're so right about how the world's values are backwards. I wish people strength because celibacy can't be easy, but waiting to be with the one is truly special! 🩷
Congratulations love 🎉🎉 Thank you for being transparent. The walk is NOT easy.
You were deff talking to me, my past is not great I felt empowered when sleeping around and like you said nothing to show for it. God set boundaries in place for a reason and I am happy to know the truth. I am almost a year in to celibacy and it has been peaceful not having to worry about a man that’s not leading me to closer to God.
I am patiently waiting though 🫣
Thank you so much for your encouragement Deborah ❤, we appreciate you sharing and being so vulnerable with your experiences to help us in our own personal lives and may God bless you.
Thank you for sharing 🤍 I really enjoy your videos you are like a big sister I never had
You made me cry sis, but in a good way! Congrats by the way :) I really needed to hear this and I’ve been struggling a lot lately in general but what you brought up about submission is key. It made me think of the two verses in James: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”
James 4:7-8 KJV ❤🎉
By the way, have you ever thought about creating a book club?
Deborah Congratulations! That is huge! 🤍🥺 Thank you for being my big sister in Christ. I can’t express my gratitude for these faith talks!
Congratulations 🎉❤❤
Love you sis ❤
Love you too!! 🥹🫂
I always enjoy watching your videos.
It’s such a blessing to have you here!!
thank you so much sis!!!!!❤ you have no idea how much i needed to hear this message...
I love you, D. Thank you for being the big sis I've never had. It's so beautiful to hear that I'm not alone and that I can overcome it. God bless you, sis 💕
Thank you for being so real🫶🏽 i can truly relate
I had to rush as soon as I saw the notification.
Thank God for your progress & I pray that God will keep you in his way and will for your life.
Thank you for using your life to be a blessing to us all.
May the Lord reward you.
Lots of love from me sis❤️!
