Perfection wears me out. I been remembering to get freedom n my strength through the Lords strength. Putting him first in my day m last thing at night. He will see it through again😅😊 Amen.
So easy to put me last. Was looking at. Pics; hard times shouldn’t always show. Single moms can have time too!😊 proper preparation..lol; what u. Said? 😂😊
My #6 habit would be to stop worrying about where others are in their journey around me. God has put me in the position I am for a reason and I have to stop comparing myself with how far along or behind others are around me. Especially on social media.
This is what I was going to add! This is a challenge I’ve been working on because I consider myself to be a “late bloomer” as far figuring out God’s purpose for my life. Who can really say whether I’m “late” or not?! Everything is happening by His design.
Hey girlies the 6th one for me was not focusing so much on loneliness and spouse but on what God has ordained us to do. I use to focus on marriage and wanting a spouse so bad due to loneliness that I let it consume my relationship from God. I finally realized what I doing when God revealed myself to me and I felt convicted. I had to learn that God will do all he promised and to just focus on him because with God I would never be lonely.
Loved loved this video 6. We need to stop comparing our calling and purpose to that of other Christian women😂 7. We need to start encouraging other women in their walk of faith. 8. "'Performative Christianity" posting Bible verses and dressing modestly with the wrong heart posture. 😟Doing all the godly things to ''look Godly"' rather than honour God. 9. Being too hard on ourselves💔. Thats the exact reason why we are hard on others love you all!!❣
#6 - stop doubting the thing God has spoken over your situation-- or #6 stop being a control freak! lolol I thoroughly love your posts. A sense of community and that you get us! lol
Hi Melody! I don’t know if you remember me from yesterday’s premiere chat of this video, but I have a praise report! I was stressed about not having enough money, but God literally raised my wage that same day at work!! Praise God, He is so good! Keep in prayer y’all ! He’s listening to you because He loves you 😊💕 Thank you !
Once again, such a great video. So encouraging. My #6 would be STOP delaying my growth with God because I know it will take me away from earthly things/people that may not understand my journey and I don’t want to lose them.
Number 5, really spoke to me. Especially because I've been feeling like I'm not bringing ALL of me to the table when I pray. Then today, while studying I was so bothered and it just triggered something in me and I broke down crying, and I realised that that was what I was "keeping" from God. It's almost as though I had subconsciously convinced myself that because He had saved me and changed me so much to the point where I don't even recognise me, that He put me in a place where I truly need for NOTHING, because of that I couldn't let myself complain before Him. It was as though I was reprimanding myself for being bothered by such small and trivial things, when He has done so much for me. And it just messed with my prayer life, to the point where I felt so fake whenever I did pray.
I definitely can relate sis. I recently started opening up to God more and asking him for specific things. I used to feel like you weren’t supposed to ask him certain questions or ask him for things but I came across a video that stated “you have not because you ask not”.. we are Gods children and he feels as though we’re worthy. We have to be comfortable talking to our father about anything. So definitely understandable and I’m happy you opened up 💜
#5 really spoke to me because I just don’t pray about things I think won’t happen for me but I’ll do better in taking them to the Lord. #6 for me would be forgiving myself for mistakes I’ve made and just being more kind to myself.
Thank you for this, 6th thing is we need to 🛑 stop not being present in our lane: we compare all the time, even some of our best of friends we compare. So we need to be thankful we are in our lane and grow that!!
Yes, Sis! It’s imperative as Christians to share our journey with others and ending with how God came through for us! Every story shared about God’s love is a seed sown. Today, at work, I am grateful to share my walk with God at work to those who does not have a relationship with God yet
#6 is truly letting go and letting God. I tend to pray and hand things over to God but it still lingers in my mind and messes with my anxiety. I have a strong need to be in control of things and I’m working on it😭
”We dont want to be women that just check of the box and do all the right things but dont actually have the intimate relationship with God” AMEN!!❤ thats exactley right. Its so important that we do what we do for the right reason, God sees to the heart❤ but we can only get the right reason if we connect ourselves to the source 🙏
That part of prayer lessen, I would talk about that very thing to everyone else and not GOD and I would get so frustrated as to why nothing is happening. By the grace of GOD we all will do better day by day.
Definitely got me in perfection and taking care of our bodies. I have failed to take care of myself because I am in a season of depression (again) and I am exhausted all the time. And just before I watch this video, I told God how I am not good enough for Him. But something you said really got me: that the Lord Himself love the Israelites even when they were stubborn and went back to God. If the Lord loved the Israelites, then I know He will love me. His love is enough for me. I appreciate you making this video and God speaking to me. I knew I was gonna get convicted and I was right. Glory to God.
I wanted to tell you that, you are more than enough. God sees us in the spirit not in/by our flesh, so He isn’t even looking at that part of you but your heart and your spirit. you are not depressed, don’t claim that. You have authority and power in you given through Jesus & The Holy Spirit, you are the daughter of The Most High King…you have what you need in your spirit and you have the fruits of the spirit in your spirit (joy, peace, love,etc) you shall NEVER be defeated, YOU GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL!!! God bless ❤️🫶🏽🫶🏽 (Psalms 139:14-17)
Love this! All the points were on point but what convicted me was taking care of my body. I know that when I’m healthy and taking care of myself I’m at my best. But when I don’t, I’m sluggish, don’t want to get up early, which impacts my walk with God and the list goes on. It’s a disservice to not do this and also the prayerlessness! I’m always convicted by the scripture “pray without ceasing”. Highlights how much more I need to pray EVERY time. 😳❤
God is Glorified in Your Life as Always. Here from the Fiji Islands 🇫🇯 The 6th Habit is to stop not increasing in the Knowledge of God and continue to ask for Wisdom to apply the Knowledge that we Have ...to put it into action
#6 - To expect God to be on our time or we think he’s forgotten about us. I have done this so many times that I’ve found myself giving up, being angry, spending money to talk to “men and women of God” out of a desperate desire to come to better resources and a full life. And then I realize that I take back the problem I submitted to God and try resolve it myself because he is not showing up how I needed him to.
Absolutely loved all 5 habits. Need. to have a relisten and share💯😊😊. # 6 should be: Holy Girls should stop Comparing each other. PERIOD!! Or Holy Girls should not be afraid to ask for help. It's important to understand both how they affect us.
So good!! I definitely feel #4. Thanks for plugging in Notion too! My #6 would be disqualifying oneself. I do that a lot and I have to remind myself that if God is calling me to it then I’m qualified.
Amen! I love the third habit we need to break as holy girls. It is soooooo difficult to not stirve for perfection in this world that preaches self-righteousness..., but 😁🙌🏽 glory be to God that Christ is our perfect leader and as God sees us, He sees Christ! Phew! That takes off the weight off me! Hallelujah!! I think the sixth habit should be: to stop idolizing people and/or our desires. We need to stop putting people and/or our desires above God. He should be our GOD and our life's first pursuit
My 6th Habit would be "Stop comparing ourselves to the other person, especially your sisters" - Our journeys are different for a reason and God has placed us in each others' lives because He knows we actually need each other.
I really love how you bring it up with the story of the Israelites. They're such an exemple for our walk with the lord ! He's teaching me things about prayer and I read this verse of Samuel this morning, thank you for the reminder !! ❤i also love the topics you choose to talk about, the lord inspires you well ^^
hey, i watched this vid for my evening devotion and found it to be very helpful. i love all the five points that were mentioned here. i think my 6th habit would be to avoid not trusting in his plan. we all have a purpose and his plan is so much greater than what we have envisioned for ourselves. sometimes what we want may not be what he has in store for us. trust that he has a plan and will make a way in his divine timing x
Always something refreshing and on point Melody, thank you for sharing. #6 stop caring what other people think of you." It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe." Proverbs 29:25
God guided me to watch this video and I think He has led me to comment. I get a bit stuck in loops of condemnation, confusion, leaning on myself rather than God, and things similar to that. Almost like I have trouble trusting that He is enough, beyond just enough. I'm thankful for this conviction, and I've tried to pray about it. At some points I feel weak and weary but I try to remember that God never faints and never grows weary. Please pray for me if you feel God has led you to. It sometimes feels as though I have a veil of distrust and I pray that any veil of lies or deception would be lifted. All praise and glory be to our Father!
Not me being 3, 4, AND 5. Whew, Chile!! 🥴 With prayerlessness, I’ll even take it to Him, not be obedient to what He says out of fear and just KEEP worrying about it! He’s still working on me y’all!
Hey! These were all great points. The point about checking things off the list and not having a personal relationship with God is critical. It matters to have a personal relationship with God because, at the end of the day, God is the one who knows what is best for us. Also, the point about being judgmental, I really loved that. We need to have more compassion as Christians and not look down on others. To be Christlike is to be loving and forgiving. Rather than throwing stones.
wow this video is a blessing. Doing this walk without any woman mentors or friends doing it with me causes me to feel like i’m doing something wrong. Thank you for making me feel human 😅. This video hit every point that i’m going through right now.
It’s the last one of me!!! In a season of feeling lost with what my next steps look like career/life wise… so in conjunction with the 5th thing I would say #6 TAKE IT TO GOD FIRST before consulting with everyone else including google lol. Thanks for the great content
#6 would definitely be not to play the comparison game with others and where they are in their walk. I purchased your devotional and can’t wait to dive in, it comes at a perfect time.
Im so glad I found your channel today. I was just thinking earlier today I need more positive material to consume, and not a few hours later without me even searching anything, you came into my suggestions! Im so thankful!
I was very hateful of my life these days, even seeing myself in the mirror would irritate me, i randomly came across your video and i strongly believe this was meant to be, god is with me every second and i feel big support from my lord and savior 🙏❤ I even thought about giving up on christian life but i always keep coming back to lord! Thank you for your videos, you are such a sweet person, i feel your energy, god bless you sis!
Hey sis! Lol God amazes me I started watching your videos like 2 years ago here from the Daniel fast video. And I had to comment today because this word is confirming every message I’ve been getting since Sunday. STILL 2 years later you are right on time Melody! I have been learning to give myself grace and stop striving for perfection! Because God will use my falls for his purpose and for our good and striving for perfection will cause us to stray away from God when we beat ourselves up! Also you hit it on point about trusting Gods journey in each of our lives differently. Cause I use to think to myself how come they get to still do certain things and I can’t but I’m a Holy Girl Period lol! MELODDYY I PRAY whenever you may feel discouraged you remember that God has done so much through you and will continue to bless and use you❤️ Grateful for you and your obedience!!
I love this video and I definitely needed it… I’m going to watch it a few times over. But what God has been showing me that we need to stop doing is dwelling on negative thoughts, situations, circumstances, etc.
#6 could be “stop thinking small”. God is so big and is limitless in what he can do so if we are in Him, there is nothing we can’t do together with him and for him. Let go of fear and self-reliance which creates small thinking.
My #6 Habit would have to be stop creating continuous unhelpful cycles that don’t benefit you & stop trying to pour into others when they just come to take from you (take advantage of you, manipulate you & etc..) I know that this doesn’t mean they are bad people, it’s just I have learned how to stop investing my time into people who’s always coming to take but never to give. 🙂
Woman Wise Up, Rise Up by N. Forbes Matheis is a book that is all about women walking in their God-given calls. No messing around. Keep the focus and walk confidently in Gods grace and power.
Bless you for sharing this, what a gift. I have been feeling inadequate sometimes in my walk, comparing myself and my expression of love for Him to that of those who are bigger in their affection. But this is such a beautiful reminder that no matter where we are, God deems is worthy. His voice is not one of comparison and shame- but that of love and honor. He honors our works, our love and sees the posture of our hearts. Big or small, He sees us and loves us.
Thank you for sharing a great list! For myself I would add to stop prioritizing other things in my life over my time getting to know the Lord. Being consistent in the time I spend in the word and praying everyday should be something I am carving time out for daily to help me with my spiritual walk.
I’ve only been watching you for a couple of days, and I already feel your sense of genuine care, and it fills me with so much love and content. Thanks Melody, truly & honestly Love you❤
Ooh the power of a testimony is so true! We're not always meant to touch the entire world but the world that God had surrounded us with. Those that are closest to us glean so much wisdom from us. Thank you for motivating me to just move on God's timing. I try to keep that in mind for my podcast but I get so caught up in trying to be perfect. Saying exactly the right thing not embarrassing God... it's exhausting. It's a weight that God never wanted me to carry. I recognize that God's timing and my testimony is more important than any timeline I curate. Thank you woman of God for sharing this. I pray it blesses everyone who sees it! ❤️🙏🏾
#6 for me is to stop doing and saying things without checking my intentions behind them, it says in the word that man cares about the outer appearance but the Lord looks at the heart, What has really helped me now is to ask myself why I’m about to do or say something, is it to just say a piece of my mind which could lead to pride or is it because I’m uplifting someone, adhering to the Holy Spirit and/or glorifying God ? Very powerful video sis❤️
Thank you Melody your video came at the perfect time! My friendship just ended yesterday and I am happy that I am being corrected after the mistakes that I have done that costed the friendship. I now feel renewed and refreshed so that I can be a better friend to others.
6th Habit: Once you have planted the seed in someone's life let God do His work and do not try to do God's work for Him. Let go and let God and also sow more into your personal journey with God. Because you can easily fall short of God's glory by being so invested in someone's personal journey.
I know this is something I truly need to stop doing. But my #6th habit is that I need to stop gossiping, even if it is about little things that may annoy me or a family situation. Instead of going to others about this, I just need to take this situation to God because even though I may be telling people something from my point of view, they could take it and become angry at somebody that they might not even know. Also, another habit that I need to let go is that whenever someone offends me or does something to me, I let the situation hurt me to much, or I just keep thinking about it. I need to learn how to let those situations go and give them to God.
Whew ‼️ Girl, a few nights ago I was thinking of my testimony. I thought about me filming and uploading. But that was it, just a thought. I’ve been feeling it, but I don’t follow through with it. I didn’t even click this video, I wasnt even on your channel! Message received 🙌🏼 Girls, testimony video coming soon. Subscribe 💕
Every point on this list, was sooooo on time! Thank you Melody! God is reminding me of all of these things in this season & I’ve been struggling with each one in some capacity. This video was timely! May our Lord Jesus continue to bless you & your family Melody!
Amen!!! I appreciate you sister Melody!!! God bless you and yours🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽some very good spiritual advice. I need to improve in all areas!!!! I’m very sensitive with regards to my feelings being hurt (easily). I’m asking our Lord and Savior to help me/work on me because that could cause a lot of unnecessary pain (emotional). That’s one of my downfalls. Not sure if that would be considered number 6. I pray for all my beautiful Christian sister🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽stay encouraged!!!!!!!! And Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this!💗 I wanted to add that the Bible does actually state that God want us to be perfect as He is (Matthew 5:48, I’d recommend reading the chapter in it’s entirety and the AMP version for better understanding.) When we were saved and born again we received the Holy Spirit, and were made new and set apart (holy). We will still suffer and face trials on this earth however, us as Son’s of God now have the power to endure and overcome them without sin as Jesus did (Because He is with/in us through it all!❤). And God gives many examples of a perfect character in that chapter. I’d also recommended reading James 1:4 and 1 Peter 5:10 KJV). Be encouraged everyone🤍
I also want to add that being perfect does not mean that you are no longer teachable because you know everything. On this journey you will continue to mature and grow in your faith through trials. However, we can do it purely and without sin just as Christ who now lives within us did. There has to be a greattt difference between us (Son’s of God) and the world (ie: our nature, the way we react, talk, love, etc.). And this is so that we can be the light of the world and He can get all the glory🤍.
I needed to see this video today! Thank you for making these for women. I have just started watching the videos on your channel and can’t stop! May the Lord keep blessing you ❤
My #6th would be trusting God in some areas and not in others. My Faith should cover every situation in my life, otherwise do I really have faith in God? Or myself?
Matthew 5:48, You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. This, of course, does not mean we should strive to be perfect on our own means, but through our complete reliance and dependence on God to do so. Each day we should strive to be more like Jesus, who was and is perfect. Philippians 1:6, And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Also, towards the second habit, I agree, but we should make sure that we judge others rightly and not hypocritically because if we don't ever correct people for doing their wrongdoings, then how would they come to repentance? Matthew 7:1-5, Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgement, you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log out of own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. John 7:24, Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgement.
hey, sis!! today's question is: what should be the 6th Habit we need to break on our list today?! 👀 excited to see what y'all think!!
No judgment because it’s suppose to be our testimony; why we went through it. Fall after pride. 😊😢
Everyone has their walk; we should do what Jesus do, walking alongside. Sometimes just being a listening ear.❤
Perfection wears me out. I been remembering to get freedom n my strength through the Lords strength. Putting him first in my day m last thing at night. He will see it through again😅😊 Amen.
Without faith we cannot please God. We’ll miss our blessings.
So easy to put me last. Was looking at. Pics; hard times shouldn’t always show. Single moms can have time too!😊 proper preparation..lol; what u. Said? 😂😊
My #6 habit would be to stop worrying about where others are in their journey around me. God has put me in the position I am for a reason and I have to stop comparing myself with how far along or behind others are around me. Especially on social media.
💯
Yes, so much easier said than done…I deleted instagram for this very reason..because I do it without realizing it.
@@ccchantel yes girl, I just came back to ig after a 2 month break and I’m already ready to leave again lol because of comparisons
@@ccchantel girl same!! Social media played a huge part in that for me too
This is what I was going to add! This is a challenge I’ve been working on because I consider myself to be a “late bloomer” as far figuring out God’s purpose for my life. Who can really say whether I’m “late” or not?! Everything is happening by His design.

Thank you for this reminder ❤ my mind has been focused on this recently
Thank you!!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one
Loved loved this video
6. We need to stop comparing our calling and purpose to that of other Christian women😂
7. We need to start encouraging other women in their walk of faith.
8. "'Performative Christianity" posting Bible verses and dressing modestly with the wrong heart posture. 😟Doing all the godly things to ''look Godly"' rather than honour God. 9. Being too hard on ourselves💔. Thats the exact reason why we are hard on others
love you all!!❣
All good points especially number 8!!
#6 should be....to stop judging ourselves and not forgiving ourselves when we slip up! Blessings to you Mel and all your subbies!
Gods blessings upon you Makinni🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes!!! I struggle with this every single day! It's so hard!
I was avoiding watching your video because I felt like I was going to get corrected... I was right😂.
This was much needed.
Thanking God for you ❤
😭😂😂🤍🤍 i got you sis!!
Same😭😂Felt like I'm going to be convicted just by seeing the thumbnail. But I'm glad I watched 'til the end.
Sammme!!!!! Lol Finding your channel has been a blessing🙌
#6 - stop doubting the thing God has spoken over your situation-- or #6 stop being a control freak! lolol I thoroughly love your posts. A sense of community and that you get us! lol

Stop being influenced by the women of society instead of what God tells you a women should be . Proverbs 30 🌸
Once again, such a great video. So encouraging. My #6 would be STOP delaying my growth with God because I know it will take me away from earthly things/people that may not understand my journey and I don’t want to lose them.

We have to be comfortable talking to our father about anything. So definitely understandable and I’m happy you opened up 💜
I know this feeling all too well…sometimes i be feeling like i dont want to keep bothering God with the same stuff all the time
#5 really spoke to me because I just don’t pray about things I think won’t happen for me but I’ll do better in taking them to the Lord. #6 for me would be forgiving myself for mistakes I’ve made and just being more kind to myself.

yes!! love this Amanda!! we all play a part in the body of Christ
Yes, Sis! It’s imperative as Christians to share our journey with others and ending with how God came through for us! Every story shared about God’s love is a seed sown. Today, at work, I am grateful to share my walk with God at work to those who does not have a relationship with God yet

A huge battle for me that I’m currently in too. The Lord is showing me where it stems from in childhood too. He is so faithful
#6-i will stop comparing myself with others and stop doubting myself and also stop worrying about things coz God is in Control ❤
My #6 will be :self reflection, especially in the various ways God has showed up for us in the past and just being truly grateful for them.

hey, i watched this vid for my evening devotion and found it to be very helpful. i love all the five points that were mentioned here. i think my 6th habit would be to avoid not trusting in his plan. we all have a purpose and his plan is so much greater than what we have envisioned for ourselves. sometimes what we want may not be what he has in store for us. trust that he has a plan and will make a way in his divine timing x
Always something refreshing and on point Melody, thank you for sharing. #6 stop caring what other people think of you." It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe." Proverbs 29:25
aww thank you!! Love your #6!!
# 6 I need to stop worrying, I need more grace.
Ah, Melody you came for my head😭 But this was so needed, thanks for being obedient to the Holy Spirit! God bless!
hahah hopefully it landed WITH LOVE
@@MelodyAlisa lol definitely did!!
God guided me to watch this video and I think He has led me to comment. I get a bit stuck in loops of condemnation, confusion, leaning on myself rather than God, and things similar to that. Almost like I have trouble trusting that He is enough, beyond just enough. I'm thankful for this conviction, and I've tried to pray about it. At some points I feel weak and weary but I try to remember that God never faints and never grows weary. Please pray for me if you feel God has led you to. It sometimes feels as though I have a veil of distrust and I pray that any veil of lies or deception would be lifted. All praise and glory be to our Father!
So happy I found this channel, I have been bige-watching non-stop. Thank you Lord for bringing me to Melody! You're awesome. Be blessed😘
Not me being 3, 4, AND 5. Whew, Chile!! 🥴 With prayerlessness, I’ll even take it to Him, not be obedient to what He says out of fear and just KEEP worrying about it! He’s still working on me y’all!
Yes sis you better preach🙌🏽 Don’t be afraid to share your story, he is not finished yet🙏🏽
Hey! These were all great points. The point about checking things off the list and not having a personal relationship with God is critical. It matters to have a personal relationship with God because, at the end of the day, God is the one who knows what is best for us.
Also, the point about being judgmental, I really loved that. We need to have more compassion as Christians and not look down on others. To be Christlike is to be loving and forgiving. Rather than throwing stones.
wow this video is a blessing. Doing this walk without any woman mentors or friends doing it with me causes me to feel like i’m doing something wrong. Thank you for making me feel human 😅. This video hit every point that i’m going through right now.
It’s the last one of me!!! In a season of feeling lost with what my next steps look like career/life wise… so in conjunction with the 5th thing I would say #6 TAKE IT TO GOD FIRST before consulting with everyone else including google lol. Thanks for the great content
Number 3, 4 and 5 resonates with me so much. I even made a list on my phone of lifestyle changes I want to make but have not started with it yet.
#6 would definitely be not to play the comparison game with others and where they are in their walk. I purchased your devotional and can’t wait to dive in, it comes at a perfect time.
Im so glad I found your channel today. I was just thinking earlier today I need more positive material to consume, and not a few hours later without me even searching anything, you came into my suggestions! Im so thankful!
I was very hateful of my life these days, even seeing myself in the mirror would irritate me, i randomly came across your video and i strongly believe this was meant to be, god is with me every second and i feel big support from my lord and savior 🙏❤ I even thought about giving up on christian life but i always keep coming back to lord! Thank you for your videos, you are such a sweet person, i feel your energy, god bless you sis!
Hey sis! Lol God amazes me I started watching your videos like 2 years ago here from the Daniel fast video. And I had to comment today because this word is confirming every message I’ve been getting since Sunday. STILL 2 years later you are right on time Melody! I have been learning to give myself grace and stop striving for perfection! Because God will use my falls for his purpose and for our good and striving for perfection will cause us to stray away from God when we beat ourselves up! Also you hit it on point about trusting Gods journey in each of our lives differently. Cause I use to think to myself how come they get to still do certain things and I can’t but I’m a Holy Girl Period lol! MELODDYY I PRAY whenever you may feel discouraged you remember that God has done so much through you and will continue to bless and use you❤️ Grateful for you and your obedience!!
Keep the content coming Sis. We're listening. So grateful. May the Lord increase every area of your life.
you are the absolutely sweetest. Thank you sis & thank you for being here!
Came across your channel today. Even as a guy, these lessons are jewels for Kingdom Living!
#2 is so helpful for me right now in my relationship with my significant other! I’ve just been praying that the Lord’s will be done in his life!🤲🏽👐🏽🙌🏽
I love this video and I definitely needed it… I’m going to watch it a few times over. But what God has been showing me that we need to stop doing is dwelling on negative thoughts, situations, circumstances, etc.
#6 could be “stop thinking small”. God is so big and is limitless in what he can do so if we are in Him, there is nothing we can’t do together with him and for him. Let go of fear and self-reliance which creates small thinking.
My #6 Habit would have to be stop creating continuous unhelpful cycles that don’t benefit you & stop trying to pour into others when they just come to take from you (take advantage of you, manipulate you & etc..) I know that this doesn’t mean they are bad people, it’s just I have learned how to stop investing my time into people who’s always coming to take but never to give. 🙂
Woman Wise Up, Rise Up by N. Forbes Matheis is a book that is all about women walking in their God-given calls. No messing around. Keep the focus and walk confidently in Gods grace and power.
Bless you for sharing this, what a gift. I have been feeling inadequate sometimes in my walk, comparing myself and my expression of love for Him to that of those who are bigger in their affection. But this is such a beautiful reminder that no matter where we are, God deems is worthy. His voice is not one of comparison and shame- but that of love and honor. He honors our works, our love and sees the posture of our hearts. Big or small, He sees us and loves us.
Thank you for sharing a great list! For myself I would add to stop prioritizing other things in my life over my time getting to know the Lord. Being consistent in the time I spend in the word and praying everyday should be something I am carving time out for daily to help me with my spiritual walk.
I’ve only been watching you for a couple of days, and I already feel your sense of genuine care, and it fills me with so much love and content. Thanks Melody, truly & honestly
Love you❤
awww
Thank you this was just my prayer asking God to help me with self-care for myself put everything and everybody before me❤
Number 3 spoke to my SOUUUUUUL😭
And the comments are really on point as well 👌 🔥 💯
Very much needed thank you Melody ❤ 😃 😊
loved this!!
So happy for the Notion app and focusing on keeping in mind our body is a temple and part of our walk too
Ooh the power of a testimony is so true! We're not always meant to touch the entire world but the world that God had surrounded us with. Those that are closest to us glean so much wisdom from us. Thank you for motivating me to just move on God's timing. I try to keep that in mind for my podcast but I get so caught up in trying to be perfect. Saying exactly the right thing not embarrassing God... it's exhausting. It's a weight that God never wanted me to carry. I recognize that God's timing and my testimony is more important than any timeline I curate. Thank you woman of God for sharing this. I pray it blesses everyone who sees it! ❤️🙏🏾
#6 for me is to stop doing and saying things without checking my intentions behind them, it says in the word that man cares about the outer appearance but the Lord looks at the heart,
What has really helped me now is to ask myself why I’m about to do or say something, is it to just say a piece of my mind which could lead to pride or is it because I’m uplifting someone, adhering to the Holy Spirit and/or glorifying God ?
Very powerful video sis❤️
Hmmm Sis, it's the amazing content, consistency and the background music for me😍😍😍
Thank you Melody your video came at the perfect time! My friendship just ended yesterday and I am happy that I am being corrected after the mistakes that I have done that costed the friendship. I now feel renewed and refreshed so that I can be a better friend to others.
6th Habit: Once you have planted the seed in someone's life let God do His work and do not try to do God's work for Him. Let go and let God and also sow more into your personal journey with God. Because you can easily fall short of God's glory by being so invested in someone's personal journey.
@@AnuFasan So true! Amen!
I know this is something I truly need to stop doing. But my #6th habit is that I need to stop gossiping, even if it is about little things that may annoy me or a family situation. Instead of going to others about this, I just need to take this situation to God because even though I may be telling people something from my point of view, they could take it and become angry at somebody that they might not even know. Also, another habit that I need to let go is that whenever someone offends me or does something to me, I let the situation hurt me to much, or I just keep thinking about it. I need to learn how to let those situations go and give them to God.
I love Notion! It has helped me to organize so many areas of my life and to be more focused.
Whew ‼️ Girl, a few nights ago I was thinking of my testimony. I thought about me filming and uploading. But that was it, just a thought. I’ve been feeling it, but I don’t follow through with it. I didn’t even click this video, I wasnt even on your channel! Message received 🙌🏼 Girls, testimony video coming soon. Subscribe 💕
Hi Melody I love ur channel. It has blessed me very much in this season of my life. Im grateful for you! I wish u many many blessings xo
Thank you Melody for your thoughtful and helpful videos!
Every point on this list, was sooooo on time! Thank you Melody! God is reminding me of all of these things in this season & I’ve been struggling with each one in some capacity.
This video was timely! May our Lord Jesus continue to bless you & your family Melody!
I need to read my Bible and take care of my body
Love love your videos, you don’t know how much these are so helpful. Thanks for helping me during my spiritual journey
thank you for being here, sis!!
Love this, Melody!
thank you girlie!
Amen!!! I appreciate you sister Melody!!! God bless you and yours🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽some very good spiritual advice. I need to improve in all areas!!!! I’m very sensitive with regards to my feelings being hurt (easily). I’m asking our Lord and Savior to help me/work on me because that could cause a lot of unnecessary pain (emotional). That’s one of my downfalls. Not sure if that would be considered number 6. I pray for all my beautiful Christian sister🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽stay encouraged!!!!!!!! And Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey sis! This really convicted me, thank you for this word and congratulations on being a mommy, its a beautiful journey! 😊
Awesome habits, I feel like I definitely needed this video today😊🙌💙
Thank you this is so much confirmation 😢
Love this!💗 I wanted to add that the Bible does actually state that God want us to be perfect as He is (Matthew 5:48, I’d recommend reading the chapter in it’s entirety and the AMP version for better understanding.) When we were saved and born again we received the Holy Spirit, and were made new and set apart (holy). We will still suffer and face trials on this earth however, us as Son’s of God now have the power to endure and overcome them without sin as Jesus did (Because He is with/in us through it all!❤). And God gives many examples of a perfect character in that chapter. I’d also recommended reading James 1:4 and 1 Peter 5:10 KJV). Be encouraged everyone🤍
I also want to add that being perfect does not mean that you are no longer teachable because you know everything. On this journey you will continue to mature and grow in your faith through trials. However, we can do it purely and without sin just as Christ who now lives within us did. There has to be a greattt difference between us (Son’s of God) and the world (ie: our nature, the way we react, talk, love, etc.). And this is so that we can be the light of the world and He can get all the glory🤍.
I needed to see this video today! Thank you for making these for women. I have just started watching the videos on your channel and can’t stop! May the Lord keep blessing you ❤
You are so welcome! thank you for being here sis!
Thank you for the inspiration , blessings to you and your family 🙏🏽
I enjoyed this video. Thank you! You're beautiful energy is always a joy to witness.
Every video is right on time!! Just what I needed. Okayy!
Ty! Heart❤
Your content videos are so constructive 💡💡.
The number 3 is for me
Amen 🙏🏾I needed all of this!
My #6th would be trusting God in some areas and not in others. My Faith should cover every situation in my life, otherwise do I really have faith in God? Or myself?
Thank you a lot Melody!!
Much love 💓💓
This is my first time watching you and listening to you but it definitely won’t be the last time. This video was amazing. Thank you!!🤍🤍
Mmmhh yaas. I need that notion app cuz sis is getting tired (has less time) to journal these planners
Thanks sis this really helped💜
#6 stop doubting that I'm worthy for what God has for me just because the process is extended and looks different than expected
Matthew 5:48, You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. This, of course, does not mean we should strive to be perfect on our own means, but through our complete reliance and dependence on God to do so. Each day we should strive to be more like Jesus, who was and is perfect. Philippians 1:6, And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Also, towards the second habit, I agree, but we should make sure that we judge others rightly and not hypocritically because if we don't ever correct people for doing their wrongdoings, then how would they come to repentance? Matthew 7:1-5, Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgement, you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log out of own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. John 7:24, Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgement.
Sis this is right on time just by the title. I haven’t even gotten through the video yet 🙌🏾
