“I stopped taking responsibility for other people’s perception of me. Other people’s perception of me is none of my business and it’s not my problem. Other people’s perception of me is completely up to them.” #aWORD 🙌🏾
This video was godsent in a lot of ways. I was reminded of my recent fast from secular music. It was hard in the beginning but God began to convict and open my eyes even more to the blatant devil worship in music. It goes beyond just lyrics and images but also to the instrumental smh. At the end of my fast, I am not obsessed with listening to secular music and I haven't gone back to listen to a lot of the secular artists I used to listen and I don't have fomo in regards to listening to their newest content. Most importantly, I hear the Holy Spirit more clearly than I did before. Also, your consecration of make up and straightening your hair has reminded me of how God has been gradually leading me to take better care of myself in the beauty department. I have always been an all natural gal from my hair to rarely wearing make up. However, God has been convicting me to put more effort into taking care of my hair and to learn how to do make up. I don't wear makeup every day because to me it's too much but I did buy some eye liner and mascara to practice and have begun to take better care of my natural hair (my hair and edges have been coming back Praise the Lord!). He is showing me that makeup has its place and when used correctly, it can highlight the pretty natural features that he has given me. I believe that God is consecrating his church in this time and it is wonderful thing because He wants to take us into deeper levels with Him.
Yes🙌🏿. Sounds like FREEDOM sis! In March i started locking my hair, which has definitely been a sacrifice for me...i also started to taking better care of my skin in order to just love everything about me that God has made. Makeup has become a option NOT a necessity and i am not so focused on my looks and i can think about other things. This is good. You are glowing sis!❤
Amanda, I can literally see the Godly Glow!! You are literally GLOWING!! Glory to God that you went through this consecration and received freedom in Christ! & girlll the curls are giving!!!
Your consecration inspired me ! I decided to take some days to not wear any makeup . Or to sit with how o think about my natural beauty. It's so funny how many lies we have been fed that cause us to believe Gods creation is ugly. I'm going to continue this journey as I heal from this current stronghold the lord is dealing with me on .
Thank you for sharing. I definitely feel you with the saving time aspect. I used to do my makeup very often and actually enjoyed it, but in a different season with more on my plate, I’m like “oh my gosh, I don’t even feel like putting on eyebrows, let alone a full face”. 😅
You look absolutely beautiful!! I’ve been going more natural too and getting so many more compliments!!! And even if I didn’t I feel more free and confident!!
This is good, sis! I’m on a similar journey with my hair!God is so faithful! And definitely used you to help me be on my own journey with my hair and the ways it was an idol growing up and even the ways I had been idolizing it in the present WITHOUT knowing it. There is another level of freedom that comes that you didn’t even expect. And so much, much more that God is bringing! Thank you again for sharing! Love this! ❤
Freedom looks SO good on you sis, and listening to your journey is truly an encouragement to me! Currently reading when People are Big and God is Small by Edward Welch, and this video is right on time!
Wow thanks for sharing this 🙏🏾 I’ve been on a similar journey as you post deliverance. In my deliverance I believe God was telling me to throw away my wigs. At first I was angry and didn’t want to because my natural hair is short underneath .. however this journey taught me how much I depended on my hair being done for me to be confident and feel beautiful. Literally everything you said in this video resonated and let’s me know I’m on the right track. So whether my hair is done or not .. I know now I’m beautiful either way 🤍
Second comment lol! I love this omg !!!!!! Wheeew this is so beautiful and it is preaching to my soul. This testimony is an encouragement to keep going . Deliverance can be hard at times, but staying with it guarantees freedom. I also think it is so funny how bondage feels like freedom until God sets you free and then you realize that the bondage was really a cage of satan. I LOVE this testimony. To God be all the praise.
“If God is leading you to make a sacrifice for the sake of your freedom, it’s not because He’s wanting to take away something good from you, He’s trying to give you something that’s BETTER for you” 🔥 🔥
Amen! God blesses obedience and it’s for our good! I went back to my natural brown and curly hair and I’m loving it!!! Next step is removing my implants - at first I was so upset and now I’m excited to do it and can’t wait to see more freedom on the other side!!
Yes please to a hair care AND skin care video! So proud of and encouraged by you and this journey, Amanda. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. 🥹🩷
love this for you, Amanda and you look great! love seeing us naturally curly/coily hair gals embrace our God-given hair texture. reminds me of when God had me fast from makeup and focus on skincare and inner healing--i'm now conquering this 10+ years-long battle with acne/blemishes!🙌🏾 He really does care about of us in every way.💚
You look Amazing!! Can really tell God's hand was in this...your inside beauty is just radiating on the outside... Amanda thank you so much for sharing this God inspired testimony that I know will set alot of women FREE!! I cut my hair Jan 1 2023 to not be tied to it or feel as If I was in bondage to my hair and I felt freedom cuz I could easily let it go. Alot of times we think we need something so much and don't realize that thing has us trapped so your story is an awakening for alot of women...Again, Thank you for your transparency and God Bless❤
Amen Amanda! Thank you for making this video. What I learned is that when God wants us to give Him a sacrifice of obedience we should delight in it, and remember that God is not taking something away, but will give us something even greater if we only just trust in Him. If I’m being honest. I’ve been struggling with social media and just the idol of knowing whats going on. I’ve been in a cycle of deactivating then reactivating my instagram account. Just a week ago I decided to delete my account, but today I got my account back. So as makeup and hair was to you, so is social media particularly instagram to me. I need to delight in being away from social media and media in general.
you are absolutely glowing! omg. i’m so glad i came across this video! i’ve been struggling with just seeing myself natural and seeing you and your growth with seeing your natural self is amazing. i need to try! ❤️
Next step cutting off all your hair. Jk but I’m glad that God showed you the truth in yourself! We are made in the image of God, so we shouldn’t be so quick to hide ourselves. ❤️❤️ glad allowed you to go through this, and growing!
Hey Amanda! Thats awesome ! Thank you for this motivation, and words of wisdom. By the way, you are absolutely beautiful. Inside and out. I didnt know you wrote books. Cant wait to read them. TO God be the Glory. Until next time.
Thank you for this ❤ I've been on a similar journey in a small way. This is giving me the push I needed to dive in deeper! 🙋♀️ Also hi curly hair girl here as well! I would love to know your natural hair and skin care routine you look fantastic! ✨️
I would like to see a skin routine care because I just threw away my hazel......water and wipes the brand it self is provoking and I want to put my coin where I'm gonna benefit just as much on my skin and their business.

HOPE in a Jar from PHILOSOPHY is soooo good , it makes your skin GLOW. TRY IT out LADIES
THERE are some with SPF 30 sunscreen too
I gotta look into it! Thanks for the recommendation!
I am facing the same exact thing( makeup) right now. I don’t know how to start
How has your hair stayed so healthy looking even though you would straighten it everyday?
Thank you for this ❤ I've been on a similar journey in a small way. This is giving me the push I needed to dive in deeper!
🙋♀️ Also hi curly hair girl here as well! I would love to know your natural hair and skin care routine you look fantastic! ✨️
I would like to see a skin routine care because I just threw away my hazel......water and wipes the brand it self is provoking and I want to put my coin where I'm gonna benefit just as much on my skin and their business.
you're on tretnoin ( retinoid ) right? thats whtat ive been doing!
Yes that is one thing I’m using!
Anyone else feel like GOD wants them to 100% die to their flesh by completing wearing 0 makeup for the rest of their life?
God hasn’t called me to that 😅 but if He’s called you to it, that’s amazing!
