      @@shamelessmayaCan you speak more on being a believer but not walking in authority of God's word? I'm a believer but I don't go to church, I pray and talk to God, but don't read the Bible and I give thanks to God. But I'm not sure that's enough on my part in my relationship with God. I feel like I don't have a true relationship ship because I don't do all the things that Christians do.

      When you said you "don't read the bible" thats where you find His authority and the confidence to stand 10 toes down on His Word, His promises, His path for your personal life. Talk to Him all you want but, the Word is going to open your mind to God's character and His covenant promises to us, His daughters. Blessings!

      True. They also don’t walk in the Love principles of Christ. It’s more Pharisitic and legalistic and nothing tethered to Christ. That is a great number within the Christian community and it has turned more people towards atheism. Tangential but it’s the truth.

    I have a friend who’s husband has a terminal illness, they have two children 7 and 5. Fasting and praying for his healing their family really upped my walk in the spirit. Like their wellbeing became secondary to my own at one point. I knew God was looking out for me but praying for them became priority! Never had I experienced such spiritual breakthrough. The presence of God was the sweetest I couldn’t wait to get back to Him/back to the word.

I remember your LA days as a photographer, when you had your business, when you closed the business, and a host of other adventures leading you to find Max, marriage and family. I love how you are transparent about your journey to God. Right now, God is transitioning me to a Christian author. He is guiding me through creating Christian journals, writing a devotional book, and then another book. I’ve built my relationship with God for a long time. One thing I know is that He will answer when you call Him. Be blessed in the Lord and in the power of His might.

      @BreatheLifeNaturalHair 2 місяці тому

      @originalmix2546 Fasting is a spiritual act so it's hard to explain how it works, but you spend time in prayer and abstain from sin and eating for a period of time and somehow through it, God gives you strength to resist temptation when it arises and you also gain spiritual discernment. If you have demons, they will exit your body after a time.
      Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
      Avoid worldly entertainment & social media, spend time singing to God, reading your bible, praying, and just drink water. The more you want to overcome is the more days you fast.

I love, love all the prophetic books and lately, I am getting into a routine because I need discipline - I do some Old Testament reading I should be starting with a Psalm of Praise to the Lord of all Lords, a daily dose of Proverbs, and then a New Testament reading and I am currently in Hebrews and my mind is being blown.

I am literally going through all of this right now, I had to pray and ask God to let me know when to read and stop in the Bible because I noticed I was reading a chapter everyday just to read and say I read! But was barely remembering and understanding sometimes. But now I read and meditate sometimes in one sentence or a small paragraph and I'm taking away more than I was when I was reading one full chapter !!

    This definitely reminds me that we are not alone in this walk! I am in a season of learning Jesus and His character better and in my 7 years of claiming that I am a Christian, I don't believe I've ever sat to truly take the time to say "Hey God, I wanna get to know you". I truly desire to know him in spirit and in truth. Though I have the spiritual knowledge and can pray in the spirit etc there is something about Him being hidden in our hearts that I am trying to grasp and cling onto. It feels like I am a baby again trying to learn how to walk, but I appreciate how merciful He is to have given me the opportunity to take those small steps again and truly learn how to workout my salvation. Before this I was spiritual exhausted engaging in all the spiritual things and becoming aware of demons that I think I lost consciousness of the true power of God! He is so GOOD!

And youll hit new aspirations for Christ THROUGH watching other brothers and sisters hitting those levels. Like Lord, I want to be with you on that level.

The armour of God is needed and I pray we can all put on our armour when the enemy strikes.

For me, it's been about exploring the power of praying through scripture to address the challenges in my life. Isaiah 55:11 reminds us that God’s word will not return void; it will fulfill its purpose and prosper. This realization has helped me avoid repeating the same prayers.
    I'm also delving more into the spiritual realm, understanding that everything happens there before it manifests in our physical world. This emphasizes the importance of constant prayer and reflection. Being surrounded by nature is such a blessing; it clears the mind and allows us to truly hear God amidst the quiet. That's what I aspire to! Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing more about your journey as Believers.

    I don’t even know where to start explaining my journey but I know God had a divine plan for me though my struggles and exploration; every other religion, the Quran, witchcraft, eastern religions, atheism and esoteric journeys and yes psychedelics all led me back to JESUS! I already prayed and journaled this morning but I had to open my Bible and take notes from this video and pray along with you. Thank you Maya, as someone who’s been here since those bald days (and had those bald days myself) Your courage strengthens and inspires me to create and speak from the word that God and the Holy Spirit places in me! You’re doing a real service to young people, and of every age, by strongly sharing the Gospel. Peace and blessings to you! Amen!

    Maya girl, 10 mins in and I tell you, loving this!! I was just beating myself up last night for not reading the word enough and feeling guilty because I’m always wanting to read for long periods but it’s important to just understand that just 5 mins reading is good food. Miles Monroe was a general on the body of Christ, I still listen to his teachings.

    Lately I've been meeting with a group of women for bible study and prayer. I've been a believer almost all of my life, and I've gone through periods of intense community, intense questioning, intense service, and more recently intense solitude. Now, I have been really benefitted from committing to this weekly bible study and am thankful God led me to them.

    Wow, when you mention that you didn't know how to pray. I can relate to that. For some reason growing up, I was not taught how to pray, I was given prayer to recite and when I got older it's like I was supposed to know how to. I had to learn how to pray as well. I learnt through eating and drinking the WORD, an elder at church taught me by breaking down the Lord's Prayer and I also looked for resources on UA-cam.
    Yes, when you get up early all our prayers go up to God as sweet incense. 5 am Trinidad and Tobago time 😊🙏🏽 keeping going, God is doing something wonderful in his people.

    Hi beautiful 👋🥰
    it makes me my heart smile to see how you’ve evolved into a TRUE woman of God. He is pleased. 🔥
    This was so refreshing and factual as one that is climbing out of over all burnout. I believe those that are praying for those lengthy hours are splitting them up through out the day with a mixer of using their heavenly language/tongues and natural. Fasting Kills the flesh as to why it’s difficult at first but once you master self control and not bow to your stomach nothing can stop you. True Biblical fasting is turning down one’s plate/cup. Abstaining from tv/ social media, etc is simple sacrifices or consecrating. But does bring deliverance, revelation and cleansing.Reading Gods word brings revelation and direction as well as it is a living thing breathed from God. Thank God for Holy Spirit which I liken to the CIA when it comes to discernment. Yes Jesus is real and MAN what a day that will be when He returns. 🙌🏽

    Look what the lord has done! This is awesome. I would add, if possible (if you don't live in a remote part of the world) to get together with other believers. Talking about God, encouraging each other is super important. Even if it's through Zoom! I've been watching 2819 church which has been a blessing!! Also, things like guarding our heart through forgiveness and not taking up offense will really help our spiritual growth😊

    I’ve been praying in the morning around 8 AM. (Toronto time) Starts off with a devotional (trying to also add in some writing into my gratitude journal) then I get straight into prayer!
    The “Our father prayer” comes first then whatever else comes to Mind.
    I’ve also been fasting up until 6PM each day, it gets easier with each day but much easier to do when keeping busy. ❤
    My spiritual walk has been fantastic ! God has been revealing so much to me about him and myself !
    It’s necessary.

    This was so good and such awesome practical tips! I also love Brandon Biggs and Prayer StormTV. Another resource I'd share is the Hallelujah Challenge that Nathaniel Bassey leads. It's a powerful mix of worship and prayer. It's definitely not easy walking in boldness to follow Christ but as we continue seeking Him and encouraging one another on this journey, we will make it. So proud of you girl! 💗

    In my spiritual walk, praising, and singing hymns to myself over my circumstances like the army in 2Chronicles, they were on the front lines to fight in battle and they chose to sing & God fought their battle for them as they were praising Him. Praise confuses the enemy as I overcome and claim victory over my mind, period

    I also love listening to instrumentals while I pray. William Augusto has beautiful albums solely for worshiping or “soaking” in God’s presence. It’s what helped me stay in prayer longer. The pressure to pray words is removed and I end up singing or just praising God for who he is.
    Edit: and thank you for these tips Maya! It’s been such a joy watching your content shift to speaking about Jesus more. I’m on the same journey myself and really needed that encouragement to memorize scriptures 🥴
