Thank you so much for listening!
We just have to remember that God doesn’t owe us anything we owe Him.
False, God owes us His promises because He promised them to us. We must stop with this unbiblical depreciation. We are highly valuable to Him and He believes we are owed His promises.
Romans 12:1 NLT
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice-the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
❤❤
Great video sister. You won't believe it but one hour ago i was praying to God and crying because I haven't seen any fruit yet of my hard work and obedience towards him.. i was reading my bible and came for a walk and your beautiful video popped up.. i just wanna say thanks because I know God talked to my heart through your video. Keep up the good work. New subscriber here 😊
Amazing! God is good. Thank you for your support❤️
‼️🫶🏾🙏🏾‼️
I haven't seen the fruit either. And he has had me do radical things. I have been in a homeless shelter 7 months. He has allowed enemies to harass me humiliate me violate me turn my family against me do foul things to my food steal from me and betray me. Like a virus every where I go they pay people to get under my skin or make trouble with me and I am bitter from it. I am worn out and what he speaks for me to do is taking so long it feels unreasonable. I've been doing my best to live for him. I'm not seeing his faithfulness. IM SO WORN OUT!! I wrestle with trying to do what he says. I'm wrestling! Desperately needing him right now!!!!!!! I need help now!!!!!!!!!!
Trusting in God’s time is hard as humans. We’re so desperate and His timing is very different from ours. He knows what you’ve done and He has seen you. ALWAYS remember: He knows your entire trajectory til your passing. Meaning that Jehovah already knows what will happen to you with the plans He has for you. This vulnerable moment of yours will pass eventually, because He has seen you and knows what’s in your heart ❤ And nobody can ever break or destroy God’s plans.
@@honeyandlavender_ Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Yes, that’s right. I always need to remember that my thoughts and timing aren’t always His . What we always need to remember is that our Heavenly Father is a good father and He’s in control of everything ❤️. Have a blessed day.
I literally just told my sister it feels like im wandering in the wilderness, just feeling stuck but at the same time I realized God is waiting for my full obedience and is building my character and preparing me for what he will be bringing me into, the promises he said he would give me. My focus has been on him and killing the flesh daily. Through faith I understand that God is arranging, repairing, arranging and making my life how it ought to be through the word of God
I love this. To everyone doubting their journey or obedience, God's word never returns void Isaiah 55:11
Never! He is so good!
Right. And waiting for 25 years and more is "god" right?
Completely tired, fed up and DONE.
Amen🙏🏾❤️
@@Gorg_GoldenThere is strategy in God’s delay. Be encouraged to surrender to God’s timing. Through trials, challenges and suffering in our Christian journey, we can choose patience. Allow the fruit of the Spirit to ripen within you, no matter what the season of your life is. When you do, your faith will deepen and your relationship with God will become sweeter than you could imagine. Patience always bears the fruit of perseverance and strength, even for you. May God bless you with more than you could ever imagine. Sending love your way ❤
In our waiting season we must remain grateful. Maintain your focus on Jesus. God will finish the work He started in you. Our time table is not His. God is in control. 🙏🏾♥️🙌🏾
I have never felt so down and out! Feeling like I don't exist, like I am ACTUALLY losing my mind! I don't know. I feel so disgruntled and so forgotten and ignored by God.
I have been fighting this voice of discouragement, pryaying and asking for God to juat TOUCH me... just once! To feel His care. I feel you sis! I've been watching people around me walking in success and I have felt that I am just working backwards! I have no more tears to cry and I really have been asking the same "when is it my turn" question. It HURTS! Where is God? 😔 😟 🙁
My God! You took the words right out of my heart!! I have been feeling like this for a while! Like my life is at a standstill! Wanting God to just give me something to hang on to! Show his face! God seems so distant! Keeping you lifted up in prayer!!
WHEW I felt this🥺 Hang in there babe, the enemy would love for you to be discouraged but KEEP PRESSING ON!
Don’t give up sis , we shall testify !🥺❤️
I rebuke insignificance in the name of Jesus!! I rebuke the devil’s plan to cause destruction in your mind in Jesus name. Claim a right and sound mind whenever you get these thoughts and feelings. God does not create ANYTHING without purpose. You are a child of God.
God will show up trust that whatever you have been praying for is already done! Claim it declare it! God hears you. Keep your head up keep going!
A few hours ago, I attempted to do my quiet time and it turned into a venting session with me telling God that I hate the current job that I'm at and that I only took it out of obedience to God. All I want to do is quit because it is so draining. The song trust in God by Elevation Worship popped in my head and I listened to it twice. I told God, I honestly don't trust you because my life does not look like how I envisioned it would be and I'm tired physically and spiritually. Then I go to UA-cam and your video pops up. I click on it and sure enough your video hits on all the points I was venting to God about. Thank you for your obedience, God used it to bless me. I pray that his favor will continue to be over your ministry.
EDIT: Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement! I can't wait for the praise reports that will be told! Hope everyone is alright and staying close to Jesus!
You’re not alone. I am in the same position currently working two jobs due to being in my practicum semester and mind you it’s unpaid 🙃… But, as I’m working this other position it is teaching me Gods fruits and his characteristics when it comes to serving his people.. and this allows for me to lean on him while having this position. And this is most likely teaching us both to lean on him more than ever at this moment love. It may not make sense now but it will later.. I will be praying for you! I pray that God will allow for you to elevate from the current position you’re in or move you to a better place that allows for you to use the skillsets you’re building now! ❤
You’re not alone sis. I’m praying about my current workplace too, I don’t love it but I’m thankful to God for a job and I have to pray to not hate my boss every minute😂. Stay encouraged! It’s only a season ❤
Could you elaborate on the point where you said you took the job out of obedience to God, because I have been trying to figure out what God wants me to do, so I was wondering how you knew that that job is what God wanted you to do ? God bless !
Wow… I read this and had to re-read this to make sure this wasn’t me… This recently happened to me, the exact same thing… It’s amazing to see how our Lord answers us. God bless you!🤍✨
I literally told him I didn’t trust him anymore too bc of the exact situation and lo and behold this video
Was crying and scrolling on youtube because I was feel so stuck and undeserving of good things. It’s so hard to have that faith and trust when all i know is despair. I needed this so much, thank you.
❤️
This hit home. I think I’ve grown weary. Lord help me to not grow weary in doing what you have set before me. Renew in me a steadfast heart, renew my mind, renew my perspective Lord. Hallelujah Amen
Amen
This is exactly how I feel too.
I know the feeling! My mortgage company told me that my escrow is $5,000 short. They raised my mortgage $600 more a month. I can't pay it, but I know God is in control and he will come through! Keep your head up! He's always there for his children that keep the kingdom first.
Please pray for me!!!
Hey. Just prayed for you and thought I should share what I do when I’m in a difficult financial situation. I sell things. Idk, I find what I can do/ sell; be it old clothes, cupcakes, biscuits, a service and I sell stuff. I remember in university No having money and I was praying. I always only got enough money/ help to eat one meal day until I received a little more than I would get. An idea came to start selling cupcakes (bought regular cake mix and made cupcakes😅). I would sell to my resident mates and though I wanted to give up (as someone else decided to sell the same thing but better), God encouraged me to continue and I ended up making enough money to buy food for the week. The money also came in handy when I needed to leave the campus. Now that I’m home, whenever I find myself in a sticky situation, I pull out my entrepreneurial hat and think of something I can make to sell for a quick buck until I find my feet again. Hope this helps❤️. And may the Lord be with you🙏🏽.
God has given me a wake-up call on how important "Obedience" is in our faith walk. We need to be obedient in ALL Things. Obedience builds our character to be more like Christ. God wants to trust us with the Blessings he has for us and obedience is one way that we can build that trust with Him. I can relate to everything in this Video.
I love this ❤
The fact that we get to lean on God is the biggest blessing. When your soul feels at rock bottom, that’s the most beautiful place. Feel that Holy Spirit fired up in your heart and be excited for what’s to come. Let go of that feeling of LACK! Praise God!
Amen. We completely depend on him. In all seasons.
The timing of this video proves that God listens to his children’s prayers. Thank you for being obedient!!
so reall
I've been loosing so much money while investing in my career to the point of almost giving up... Today is the first day of my 3 days fasting. I asked God to give me signs, am more than happy and have peace of mind after I found this video and I immediately subscribed..Thank you❤
Praise God!
God bless ❤️
God bless ❤
I can totally relate! I’ve invested so much time and money in my business for over 5 years now and not seen much fruit too. Been so discouraged and praying through my feelings. I’m learning to surrender. This video helped greatly with what’s happening in my space! Thank you sister! I’ll keep showing up🙏🏼
It is always good to ask the Most High what you are or may be missing, or for direction, or maybe He is growing your faith. He will definitely let you know❕ Earnestly ask and meditate on His answers.
Girl I’m literally going through a lot right now I feel like my prayers are no longer being heard and I’m in my mid 20s people around me are succeeding and I’m just stuck at doing the same thing everyday 💔
Thank you 🙏🏾 for your talk🤍
There was a video on here about a nuns prayer method - she says to first be completely honest with our Lord and talk about how you feel what you want and everything you need to get off of your chest and then from there step two is to ask Him to tell or show you what He thinks about what you said. Keep your eyes and ears open and give it time - and when you feel you’ve received an answer the final step is to ask what He is going to do. And then wait and watch it may take a while, but go through your day and when something sticks out listen. It helped flourish my prayer life and I hope it helps you with yours ! 🩵✝️🙏🏾 I hope you feel better soon and know that each prayer is heard I’m waiting though a season that I don’t quite understand but our Lord told us not to lean on our own understanding - He has it all under control and we will come to see our fruit someday soon
I resonate DEEPLY with this, we are not forgotten sis. IT IS WELL IN JESUS NAME!!
You are more successful than you think. You carry an eternal blessing. Those around you may have physical things but the physical things perish.
I’m learning that the difficulty or struggle on earth is because of the eternal blessing that cannot be taken from us. Hang on to the truth of God’s goodness, love and faithfulness.
❤ God sees us and loves us so much
Yeah this is me too. As I’ve turned 26 years old today, it’s giving me anxiety. I’m used to having order in my life. It makes me uncomfortable.
I’m watching this today 5/22/24 and the fact it has 10k likes 157k views speaks tremendous of the goodness of God and how he will get his glory ! You talked about having under 100 subscribers but you have over 10k now 🙌🏽 To anyone reading this STAY faithful to God’s will no matter what it looks like ! God truly knows what’s best ! This was such a great video ❤
Amen!
Amen ! Obedience is the best place to be ❤. 1 Samuel :15:22 Behold to obey is better than sacrifice 🙏🏾
look at how this video is growing in numbers & im sure you didn’t expect this !! Look At God !!! You doing so great !!! 🥺
“Do not grow weary in being excellent in the place that he has placed you because at some point that place was a prayer point for you” like wowww I needed that more than ever!!! you are doing great works it’s not for you it’s for Him!!!
I really needed to hear this. Past these few days I have been swinging from full on trust in God to weariness and this feeling like what I’m doing doesn’t make sense, that it won’t change anything. Thank you for being a blessing! Thank you for your obedience 🤍
Not after I just prayed out to God about the same thing. God is working through all of us 🙏🏾♥️
Same here! One day you’re like I TRUST YOU JESUS HALLELUJAH then you’re like wait a minute 😂😂😂❤
I am in my 49th day of fasting & this morning I felt this same way & I just opened my youtube & your video was here. I have never seen your page before. It is conformation that my father remains faithful & hears my cries.
Thank you for this post 💛
You got this Sis! Don't give up on God cause He won't give up on you!!!!
Thank you for sharing and for your vulnerability 🙏🤗
I was feeling discouraged today. I felt tired due to not seeing the fruit of Gods promise in my life yet. I wanted to give up and I ran across this video. ❤
I’m glad you did, we all have those moments of discouragement sis. We still try to stay the course. ❤️
It is a challenge when we don’t see the results like God does. Blessings to you 🙏🏾
Literally been holding in tears at work and just feeling awful and I opened UA-cam and this was the first video I saw. Thank you for being a vessel of Gods good word🥹 needed to hear this 🤍🫂
Wow… I’m so happy I came across this video. I have been sitting here on my couch questioning the very things you spoke about. Am I laboring for nothing? Is God still with me in this. Is this helping anybody. Feeling alone in this journey and all of a sudden this video plays. Thank you for sharing! Keeps showing up. Your voice matters. 🫶🏽
Please keep showing up! Never question GOD he has a bigger purpose for you! Keep shining sister! We are deeply proud of you
True.very encouraging
Thank you so much, the encouragement means the world!
Everybody says don’t question him He has all the answers though
This is exactly how I feel about my youtube channel not growing. Even though it's been very discouraging, I choose not to give up. This is a huge encouragement. Thank you for your obedience to share!
This is sooo God! God has been dealing with me on obedience and trust. As much as I claim to love him, he convicted me of not trusting him. I drag my feet when he tell me to do things, I try to make it fit my comfort level. It’s been a journey but he is so merciful and patience that as he is molding me.
When the time is right i the Lord will make it Happen❤You got this gurl
Amen!
"Is this even making any impact? Is this actually even reaching anyone? Am I laboring for nothing? Is my Is my obedience yielding fruit? I can't see it, but I'm still gonna keep showing up." 🙌🏼🙏🏼
I’m only 3 minutes in and my gosh, God has a sense of humour. I just had this conversation with Him last night… and here I am. El Roi.
Thank you for your obedience 🤍
This video is great and I'm only a few mins in. This is my testimony as well! I keep hearing God say "At the right time, I the Lord will make it happen!"
Immediate subscriber!!
Yes He will! Keep believing and walking faithfully love🩷
Finding this video is no coincidence. My algorithm has changed due to my recent return back to the church. I entered 2024 with a goal to be obedient of God through praying, courting, and tithing to him. Truly investing like a real relationship with a human man. And I’m not sure where I’m going completely, but I am believing and trusting in his will… I’m not where I thought I’d be so I decided to stop leaning on my own understanding. His will be done. I’m excited about where he is taking me! I’m praying God’s will and blessings over your life. You are evangelizing to his people. And he is proud of you! ❤
Even the uncomfortable, difficulty seasons are for good and for His glory just keep holding on and being honest with God and pray for his perfect strength, provision, peace and unconditional love.
This right here, well said!
I stumbled across this video at the perfect time. I’m 2 days into my fast and realized that its going to be tougher than I anticipated it to be. For the past two years my life has LITERALLY been stagnant, anything I’d try to do wouldn’t succeed. I believe that it was God’s way of telling me to trust him and lean onto him instead of my own understanding and I’ve been ignoring him for sooo long. I’ve been doubting him for the longest of time because I felt like my prayers weren’t being heard because the harvest season isn’t coming when I would like it to come in the form that I want it to come in. This video really encouraged me to stay focused on the process and just trust God.❤️
God’s gonna do it!🗣️ Seek first the kingdom!!🗣️
I needed to see this.. it’s crazy how I’ve grown weary along with not even knowing how God sees me. I’m currently working full time along with being in my practicum semester (which is unpaid). I feel as if I’m making ends meet along with feeling in a box being in this small city… that he is calling for me to stay for another year.. If I could be transparent I personally feel as if everything is passing me by in a way. But, I know God is doing something in me internally to a point where I am starting to notice the blessings behind it. I pray that I will continue to remember these moments ❤️.. But, for anybody who’s going through the same thing and you feel as if you dont see exactly what God is doing.. Stay encouraged! Because “it’s turning around for you” ❤️
Amen! Love this encouragement
Loveeee this...i can relate so much only im not working yet and in my last internship semester. But i still feel like everything is passing me by. This helped me to stay encouraged
I just want to say thank you for being obedient , I needed to hear this!!! God is definitely using within your works . this popped up on my Home Screen and I literally was just praying to God about exactly this last night . Thank you God for being on time 💗✨
Hey sis, sending love from SA . I just came across your video, and maybe it’s because I am going through this now, but to be honest, I am tired. You know that feeling of doing everything, but you just don’t see the results. So, thank you. I need to hear this or at least to know that I am not alone.
I really needed to hear “Redirect yourself back to the word of God” ‘💕
Your video was on my FYP. I don’t typically comment on videos but I feel God telling me to send you another note of encouragement. God leaves the 99 to go get the 1. Don’t look at the numbers as discouragement. 1 person viewing could make the biggest impact. I know your video definitely helped me today.
Funny that this is what your comment is because it has simply reaffirmed instruction/an agreement I made personally with God. Impact over numbers.
Knowing that God's measure of success is not that of the world. Thanks for the encouragement!
It's my video. A difficult season for me indeed. Usually, Eric doesn't watch these random videos but today I did. And this is what I watched. Thanks for speaking to me and lifting my spirit.
❤️❤️❤️
3 days now this video has been on my fyp and I keep telling myself I need to watch it and just never got the time. I just finished praying and as I click UA-cam, it popped up again. This message was for me and I encourage you to continue showing up in your waiting season ❤ Love coming from 🇹🇹
This resonates with me
I'm in a crossroad where I find myself in confused on what to do next, the urgent need to to change my circle, my environment and my space
But it seems I'm walking around in circles, like I do not see any visible growth no matter how hard I work
I pray God help me and grants me clarity
❤ 🙏🏽 This message really spoke to me. Thank you so much for this!
It's crazy how I stumbled upon your video at this time of my life. I am currently doing something that I felt God has called me to do and it has been so hard for me to let Him in control of that. I was always scared of messing up somewhere, I work with many people on the project and I have no control over what they are doing. I tried so hard to not disappoint God, on my own. I have been breaking down a thousand times the last 3 weeks. This is so challenging emotionally mentally physically and financially. And I feel like you are talking about everything I was trying to figure out. Once again this video has shown me how perfect God's timing is.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this too!! ❤
Sending you so much love❤️❤️❤️
Felt this! Thank you so much for sharing your heart
Stumbled upon this video on my for you page and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you for this word, this was exactly what I needed to hear. May God bless you and your calling + ministry!
This is speaking to me too. Thank you ❤
I woke up feeling this way today and you video showed up when I came into UA-cam. ❤❤❤❤Thank you for sharing this, I needed this

So happy I stumbled across your channel! Stay encouraged this video ministered to my spirit ❤
Amen! Thank you so much, God bless you and everyone!
This is literally speaking to me and the season I’m in. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing sis. Its wild how I randomly stumbled upon your video. I'm in a really challenging season at the moment and I really needed to hear this... God knew I needed encouragement and I got it from you today so thank you💗 You just gained a South African Subscriber!!
Amen and thank you 🙏🏽
RIGHT He definitely does not show up the way WE want him too. Sometimes I have to stop myself from complaining and thank him for the basics... home- Thank you Jesus Food- Thank you Jesus and Clothing on my back-Thank you Jesus
I relate on so many levels!! I have an organization/blog as well and have the EXACT same thoughts - this was right on time. We can't give up! We must have faith!
This really helped me understand the way God works he’s an intentional God and that I need his guidance thank you for sharing the gospel 🙏🏾
Tapping in from Boston! Love the message, keep striving! I appreciate you!
Thank you for this 😭❤️🙏🏾
This was such a blessing!!! Thank you so much!!!! I just “stumbled” on this video but the truth of the matter is God sent this to me! God Bless you sister! ❤
Needed this!! Just like you stubbled across a UA-cam video that spoke to you, so did I with yours! Thank you so much for sharing, I literally was just praying about this 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Thanks for sharing I really needed this 🙏🏽 He is indeed intentional with us 💯
I’m encouraged! Thank you!❤
This message was for me! Thank you! You kept showing up on my feed and I have been ignoring it until today when I felt led to watch it and God had a message for me! Thank you! ❤
Wow and look at how your obedience to Him is already yielding fruit. One of the highest numbers on your channel is this video. God is soo good. Thank you for your vulnerability, loved this ❤❤❤
I am so shocked and so blessed by the impactful stories that are coming in. God is so good😭 So beautiful to see a communty of believers that are charging their faith and trusting God.
Hi! I’m new here! I‘ve been going through such a hard season, and I just feel so weary and heavy in spirit. But your video encouraged me and reminded me to fix my eyes on Jesus! All the verses you read were verses I’ve read before but the timeliness of this video was so orchestrated by God; I really needed that reminder to keep persevering! Thank you for your obedience! God bless you!
Thank you so much for this message. God bless you❤
❤️❤️ definitely encouraged me !
Thank you so much for this❤️
My prayers have been fiiiilllleeeddd with this very topic! Like Lord, I'm not sure what the end result will look like but I'm *choosing* to trust you. In this period, I've been learning more about the character of Jesus and cultivating my relationship with Him. I keep saying, "Lord when you call me, I will be ready. This is preparation and equipping season." Then the other day, in tears, I did my devotions and read Ps. 104:27 and stopped in my tracks: if it's not your season to harvest, it's your season to PLANT SEEDS. God is growing us at our own specific timelines. Oof, God really be Godding and constantly reminds me how much is out of my control no matter how many times I try to get into the drivers seat.
I love this so much!!!
I needed to hear this .. thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you for being obedient and sharing. This resonating it’s me and where I am at in my journey. 💜
Your video popped up. This is what I needed because God has been working on me with fully trusting God and releasing fear. Ill share to my sisters and you gained a follow her.
I pray God supplies all your needs more than what you've asked for and thought of❤.
Thank you! this was an on time word...
This video has been recommended to me over a month now and I only listened to it today. Oh thank you so much for sharing this I needed to hear it in my waiting season ❤
I’m so glad I found your channel. It literally was just right there soon as I opened UA-cam app. I been an a quiet season lately and wondering why. Then I see this 😊
I’m not sure how I came across this but OMG SAME!!!! The doubt , the questions and sometimes the faith . I needed to watch this video today !
Thank you for sharing needed to hear this.
You are truly anointed! definitely needed this message
Girlllll.! The same way you stumble on the other video, I believe it’s the same way I did on yours. Last night I wrote on my journal about this manner because I’ve been feeling the same as you; And the title was “Question God”. Thanks for your obedience and vulnerability.
Thank you so much for sharing and being vulnerable, it’s just what I needed to hear. If you ever have an event in Ottawa I’ll definitely be there!!
Thank you sis 🤍, needed to hear this 🤍

I just came across this video and I’m here understanding every word and how you’re feeling.
My word. I needed to hear this. My life looks nothing like I thought it would and God showing up looks so much different that I thought too. Ending a fast with your message and it hits so much. God is using you without a doubt, thank you for trusting and listening
I have been feeling the same way since the beginning of the year crazy how I randomly saw this video and God gave me the feeling to click… I needed this and sister I look forward to seeing your growth and I have a feeling we are going to link up in the future god willing… keep going sis ❤
