    SCRIPTURE👇🏼
    We should share The Gospel with unbelievers, and plant seed but if they don't listen then you need to shake off the dust and move on (Matthew 10:14-16).
    "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet"
    "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night." - Psalm 1:-6
    "But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people" - 1 Cor. 5:11
    "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" - 2 Cor. 6:14
    "Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” - 1 Cor. 15:33
    "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." - Proverbs 13:20
    "You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God." - James 4:4

    I had a friend that I considered to be my brother because I thought we were that close, when I became born again and accepted Jesus Christ I told him about it. His eyes turned black (they're normally blue) and he said "I don't know why you think you're so blessed" and then went back to normal like nothing happened. As time went on after I received the Holy Spirit, I immediately was shown more and more signs that this guy was never my friend, and was there to use me.

Ezekiel 3:18, you do the right thing by telling a narcissist like that about how lord can save you.. they usually hold too much wickedness to repent, but explaining Christ and trying to help, praying for them, will put this person back in Gods hands and remove the bonds you have made with them.. we learn our lesson and shouldn’t be fooled again.

      Yes ,when God warns or says don't befriend or leave certain folks alone take the warning ... I had to learn the hard way and I still have things I struggle with since and I'm trusting God to break them things off me . Back then I didn't know or realize what I do now . Had I not gone through all that I wouldn't have learned to discernment the voice of God though ... Some good did come from it though it was a very hurtful time an a time I experienced back to back trauma within 7 years... I been asking God to help me stop cussing ,which is something that rise up hanging with the wrong people a few years ago and was something I used to do like a sailor at one time . I don't do it as much as I once did ,but it does bother me... I have other things dealing with as well which God is working on that's even deeper than cussing . In due time I believe God will lift all this and break this off of me and bring me out to complete victory.

      The reality is that we never completely surrender to Christ. Our entire life journey involves a continual process of our dying in ourselves and living in Him. Just when we feel detached from worldly desires and our own ego, a new challenge emerges. With His grace, we persist in our growth, becoming increasingly reflective of His likeness.

I blame me as I am an adult. This is the first year of my return to God. And I dont feel the need to spend time or chat on whatsapp with them at all. And some of my friends drifted away on their own. I am so amazed at the transformation God did in my life.
    I tried so many times to be a true Christian and failed. I finally gave up and told God to help me with this. And wow, He did!
    I dont even enjoy watching secular movies (they actually bore me now).

      Amber, this is what humans do, Christian or not, we all fall short of GOD's glory every other time. This is why we should not cast a stone on those who appear to be weaker than us, we too will fail in other ways...given enough time. What the world needs is Jesus Christ, but the world thinks it doesn't, so then we are all wondering about like lost sheep, without their Sheppard. Seek GOD with all your heart and you will be Ok. I've had lonely days plenty of times, but GOD brought my wife and I together at the right time. I pray that for you as well. Girls or guys will never fill Jesus' place in your heart, I'm sure you know this. And like our dear sister says in this video, do not tell anyone your private life, that is between you and GOD.

    This is why it’s so important to find a congregation (even a small group of a few faithful people) that is moved by the Holy Spirit. It requires time and discernment, and there will always be unbelief among them, but we need to grow in strength with others on the same walk (or further along) than ourselves. There is a strength and joy found among the body of Christ that refreshes the soul…we are all one body as long as we’re in Him, and just as our body knows how to heal and nourish itself, so too does the body of Christ for each individual believer.
    If you can’t find such a group, then take refuge in the Lord and His Word. Pray for strength and for Him to guide you in your paths. He will give wisdom and the Holy Spirit without measure to any who ask. What we need will come when we cast aside fear and have faith in Jesus Christ.
    Having said all that, sister, your message is needed for many who are discouraged. May God bless you and keep you; may His countenance shine upon you and your ministry! In Jesus’ name, amen.

The amount of judgement I received from non-believers since I've changed my ways is immense but I'm trying to keep my faith strong.

    This is such a timely message for me, and very much appreciated, Sister. I travelled to meet with unbelieving friends yesterday, to meet for a rock gig…The entire day felt like a spiritual attack, my nervous system felt shattered, needing to pause many times for my body and spirit to ground itself. My friends constantly questioned my new found path, getting more and more aggressive with questioning about gay marriage, abortion, free will, science Vs creation and so on…yet I was not bringing up these topics to talk about. I tried so hard to remain calm and collected in my replies, but it honestly felt like a bombardment of emotional attacks and insults, but all masked and excused as ‘critical thinking’ on their part, which it was not. My body was physically shaking at the end of the night, as I tried to regroup myself and grab a taxi to make my way home. I gotta admit, I was literally shaken after the experience.

    had a horrible thanksgiving yesterday and my brother was telling me not to put my full faith in God and that I need to start looking at REAL LIFE and that he's older and he knows more and I said I wanted to stop talking and he said I don't believe God talks to you and I'm not gonna stop arguing... then we started yelling really bad at each other and i almost left but my dad wanted me to stay so I did... this video was just perfect. I smoked weed yesterday and drank and I was walking in the flesh and not being patient and he got me very angry quickly talking about my Lord like that so you're right God confirmed me this. I cant hang with my parents or brother till im completely changed. If anyone comes to me and doesn’t hate his brother mother, father, wife and children and his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

    What’s difficult is when family are unbelievers because I want to spend time with them. I love them. So the Lord guides me on how much time I spend with them and when I do, I seek the Lord for opportunities to share him and be a light for them. What’s interesting is that when unbelievers see your faith they’re either drawn to you or repelled. I go with it and don’t push spending time with those who show me by their words and actions that they don’t want to be around me. I’m constantly reminding myself I’m in a spiritual battle with the unseen realm which helps me put things into the proper perspective. I trust God will bring me healthy, godly relationships in my life and I don’t need to cling to who isn’t good for my soul.

    Amen! When I first tried taking my walk with God seriously I always used to make excuses to still hang out with my cousins who I'm very close to. We would often go to bars and drink. I thought okay I'll be fine as long as I don't drink anymore... wrong! That was just my flesh wanting to still have some part in that lifestyle. I was in these places a true Christian shouldn't be, the songs they would play were so dirty, the people were filled with their own bad spirits, I was dressing provocatively, and I was talking to men who were not Christian. I even started dating one but of course things did not work out. When I truly was convicted by God (a little over a month ago), I stopped that completely. I will no longer be around people who have worldly interests. I can still share the word with my friends and family from a distance and God will do the rest of the work. I know my focus on God can easily be lost if I let myself stray even a little bit, I can't live like that anymore. I do still struggle with lustful and sometimes angry thoughts, which I am trying to work on, but I am 10x better now through God. Please keep me and my family in your prayers! Thank you for this video and for being obedient, may God continue to bless you.

      But isn't the world interest of God? Believers should go through the world with their eyes open and try to build paradise. Because people have free will, there are of course obstacles. For example, an oligarch appropriates large sums of money and the people then lack the money, which has many consequences, crises, competition or child poverty, etc.
      That's why it would be useful for Christians to support left-wing politics.
      Dear God, brighten the path of this woman who is looking for you and needs your support. Turn the negativity away from her and she will have a better ability to recognize what is not of you.
      God, Bless us all, may the Holy Spirit lighten our path in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

    I was always a lukewarm Christian, (I’m trying to change that now) and all of my friends are worldly online friends. All of them except one who said she was a Christian…. But she did not behave like a Christian or support Christian beliefs. She refused alcohol refused to swear refused to sleep around and went to church every Sunday but She supported the LGBT community, had a lot of friends in that community, trans friends, even drew porn like a LOT of detailed stuff and I never spoke up against it. Even “playing it safe” and nodding along with her. I never felt as dirty as I did mingling with my worldly friends than when I did with her. Recently I cut off those friends, I feel a little bad because I feel like I need to explain myself because they’ve been nothing but kind to me, but at the same time I worry talking to them again they’re going to talk me out of things, or they’ll lash out at me, I know I’ve already hurt their feelings by not saying anything…

Within 7 days my employer fired me for "stealing" even though I never stole a thing and there was zero cause. The employer also verbally attacked my character, called me names, it was insane and COMPLETELY out of the blue. I prayed to god on Friday, by the following Friday I was fired. Age 31, never been fired before in my life. It was nuts how fast God worked....as a homeless man once said to me.."I'm blessed by the best!"

    I needed this. Your testimony around 5 mins 25 secs truly hit home for me, I truly needed this. Praise be to Jesus Christ that He used you to reach out to others (especially me). Also what you said on 14:45 I NEEDED! “Don’t tell everyone about yourself!” God has truly protected me from the reality of certain things. My eyes are now super open. I can’t share certain things so openly on the internet right now….but I feel as if…this is what I needed before God lifts me out of my current environment. I haven’t had the chance to watch the Movie you posted; I wanted to watch it without interruptions. Right now I am thinking about this video. I am realizing even more Gods love. I will admit. I had became a little arrogant. I thought “what can she say that I do not know”; yes I will admit, I became that arrogant…but Jesus made it clear that “the lessons” for me is not over. He humbled me. Now I can not only see things better but I can hear things better (I know that sounds weird to say but sometimes when you’re trapped in your own thoughts, you can’t hear others). Winter is approaching, a new season; a new Devin. I will admit, I feel myself changing, molding. In my heart I know that I have a lot of enemies. I needed to hear what you said. Thank you again for your bravery to open up to be used as a vessel. For all those who need to hear, Lord let them hear! Amen! 🙏🏾

      What she means is being close to worldly people. We may encounter worldly people here and there: (family, events, ect) but when you’re close to an unbeliever as a best friend , you are prone to betrayal when you’re walking in the Spirit strictly with God. The enemy can use them to attack you and destroy you by influencing them without them even knowing. Done been there.

    If you were born again and saved, with whom would you share the gospel of our salvation? (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)To the righteous, or to the sinners?
    Nothing in all you teach in your videos, is from the bible. Why is this? I though you said you were saved! But are you? (Personally I don't think you are)You say a lot, but don't backup what you teach with scriptures in context. Remember that you are responsible before God of everything you teach here. You will give accounts to Him, for all you teach here!

      There seems to be a lot of intellectual reasoning of the scriptures going on here and it’s veiled with a “righteous indignation” justified by her own interpretation of scripture. There is a lot of justification going on with what can be understood and seen with her intellect and emotion and is actually the opposite of the true faith of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit.
      Legalism and Pharaseeism is rearing its anti Christ head in this video.
      But she is young and I would like to believe she is truly desiring to do God’s will so let us not count her as an enemy but as a sister who has mis stepped with this message.
      Pray for her that the devil does not deceive her anymore…Pray for all of us who die to self daily and live to do the will of God and serve Jesus Christ with every breath.
      I know she is in my prayers that Jesus will hold onto her and guide her when she misses the mark.

    Yes, you really have to be cautious with who you are mingeling with. In the past, i was kinda preaching to some friends and coworkers where i had the feeling they understand what i was saying in their spirit.
    Turns out most of these people had evil spirits within them and were lowkey hating cause of my light and my blessings i gained over the past years. They saw my light as a threat..
    But i stopped after God showed me their true intentions and revealed things i couldnt even imagine - really tuff stuff ..
    I also literally danced with the devil while getting to know a person which happended to be possessed by the spirit of Jezebel. Very dark stuff but God needed to teach me essential lessons.
    It is truly wonderful if you receive gods wisdom and see certain things for how they truly are. The masks some people are wearing are designed by the devil to take you off your path.
    I learned my lessons and became so much stronger and wiser and now my perception is on another level. There ain‘t no weapon formed against us, we always have to remember that. Also the devil has already lost, we are just a walking manifestation of gods glory. Our blessings are not from this world, neither are we but we have to keep in mind that our light attracts all types of evil people. You need to be prayed up and put on that holy armour 24/7. I had to learned it the harder way but i cant thank the Lord enough for all the things he did for me. Halleluja!
