HOW TO FIND THE CAREER GOD WANTS + TESTIMONY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- One of my biggest questions is always, “God, what do You want me to do?” In this video I’m sharing valuable lessons I’ve learnt over the past decade - working backwards from choosing a line of work to a college course, and all the seemingly vague steps in between. I’ve had so much confusion because the path was narrow and the evidence unusual, so I hope my testimony so far helps if you’re in a similar position. No matter what position though, a child of God needs to focus on a few basic things which I’ve tried to convey in this video, “How to find the career God wants (for me) + testimony”. God bless!

Such a blessing to read all the comments of how God is using this to encourage or bless you in your journey! Praise God! Much love to all.
So inspiring. It is a reward because you have deserved it. My God bless you and your family.
Hey, I messaged you on Facebook Instagram. Been trying to reach out…looking forward to speaking to you. Happy early birthday wish!
This was so helpful and encouraging! My story is so much like yours almost to a T, but of course we are also unique people, except I have only made 1 UA-cam video because I am very camera shy and I need courage and that passion and drive back to share my voice... I had countless experiences of my family, friends, piers, almost everyone, and on and on of people beating me down... Ive literally had to walk away from them all in order to follow the path to sing for God that he has called me to, but I've still struggled with fear of experiencing more hurt and loss, and I've just been trying to heal from all the cruelty so I can have some confidence and get back up again. Things would have been so different if family and friends hadn't been so jealous and cruel, and it broke my heart because all I wanted was to be a blessing to them... but now I am supposed to bless God and bless strangers who probably will never be ones to give me a hug or love me like a family would have. God bless you and thank you! I wish I had half of that sparkle you do these days, but I still feel so broken hearted even after 10+ years. But I know this is God's calling and purpose on my life too, so I have fought so very hard to keep it alive.
Thank you for posting this video! It’s so encouraging and helpful. I love to see how God has been rewarding your faithfulness to Him. Waiting is definitely not easy but the fruits of trusting the Lord make it worth it ❤️
Why didn't you reply my comment mam????????? And didn't answer my question??
I love how every question about career concluded to "I am a servant of God".
Your testimony was really encouraging.
God bless ❤️
I'm so gladdd. Thank you!
My family was in debt.. 2019 I was in Hostel (12th), as there was no fellowship there, God stirred my heart to start a home fellowship every night at home when I came for holidays. One fine day, my mom called - she said that last night during home fellowship we prayed to God telling him that we need this much money. And guess what, the next day, the exact amout was transferred to our account anonymously. We tried to find out who and if it was a mistake or something. But no one showed up.
Truly, there is no lack. We have all that we can ever wish for. Because we have God. Jesus is enough
Nice praise god he is faithful
It was angel God sent most likely
Praise be to God!!!
AMEN! PRAISE JESUS!
God gave me Himself😍
Yaaa.. as alwayss.. awesome guidance to the bestest decision evaaa!! Be His!! Loving the edits Vihann!!
@@justingeorgevarghese4755 Thank you Justyyy! Praise God!
People who are in ministry and struggling financially should hear this testimony to know what it means to walk in faith.
You know I never wanna missed any of your videos because you speak out all the confusions we have and make things very clear. God bless you and your family. 🙏
Ohhh how sweet! Praise God! Thank you :)) God bless
@@VihanDamaris you're truly a blessings to many of us.😘 Have a pleasant week. See you again in next Sunday at 10:50am IST.😊
1- I once dreamt about a friend who asked me and a group of Christian women for wisdom on which career she should pursue. She wanted to do like 3-5 different things and we told her in unison that she *could* do *all* of them. Turned out in real life she had been fasting and praying about this very thing!
2- I feel like I could do any job or career and be full of joy because the true joy is serving JESUS- *wherever* you are!
3- If you CAN do what you love and also make a living from it- go for it!
4- There is also something to be said about good ol' fashion hard work and being content wherever the Lord has you currently!
The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.
Proverbs 10:22
Awesome testimony! Awesome life lived surrendered to the Lord!🥰🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Thank youu!
Jesusssss 😢I have chills and tears right now because God has given me vision and purpose and have changed my heart, rebirthing me, changing my way of thinking, loving others, and simply on speaking the words he tells me to say!❤ I was so scared, but God has given me boldness and is truly making me courageous! 💪 God bless you, and I pray that God continues to keep you and bless you abundantly! 🙏 ❤
Wooohooo praise God! Go for it with Jesus sis!
@Vihan Damaris Yessss 🙌🥰💪 I'm Happy 😄, Nervous 🫣, and just so many emotions all at the same time, but you're right, Sis, with Jesus, it will come to pass! ... Jesus is truly the only way!!! ❤️
Now this is exactly the video I needed! I wanted to serve Him fulltime, but I was a little confused about some things. Through this video, God has confirmed to me that I shall serve Him for the rest of my life. And I WILL serve Him with all I've got ❤! Amen!
Woohoo! Praise God! 😄🥳🙌👏🎉
@@VihanDamaris 🥳🥳
Your parents are amazing. I love to write, it flows with me, at the same time I like arts so I am studying architecture, but with any chance I could just go with writing. I see your father trusting that you are guided by the Holy spirit. Here they would think I am nuts😂 when I actually I'm able to speak with Him alot of the times
Hi,
You should know that what God has done in your past 10 years has blessed me entirely.
I should also say, these past 10 or so years I’ve been on a similar journey and still thinking I need one more confirmation to help me focus all my energy on where God wants. I pray and hope that he helps me determine this soon - it’s my fault for not being diligent on this 😳🙈😩😔
I am super happy for you - thanks for allowing God to use you as my motivation today. 💜🙏🏼
I'm just at the beginning.
@@citamora me too!
God told me to go on a secular music fast without a specific time (40 days, 12 days etc). My first attempt was pitiful but God called me to try again. The second attempt, I felt His Spirit strongly during those days and grew a bunch spiritually and your and other Christians's videos on secular music fasts and their experiences helped a lot.
Yesterday, I was watching a Disney movie and there was ofc, secular music. I then felt a voice, which I think was my own tell me the fast was over (keep in mind, I had messed up and listened to other secular songs without making a conscious effort to listen to secular songs for example, ads and stuff). My flesh was also so hungry for secular music. I was unsure if God was upset with me for listening to secular music and that's why He ended my fast or if I was really done, so I asked God yesterday and today if I was done.
Today, I felt the Spirit in this video that kept being recommended to me even when you were live. God's presence told me I am not on the fast anymore. From now on, it is a lifestyle.
It's a lifestyle. ❤️
Yessss
Secular music with good lyrics is not bad.
Me personally am in a place where i cant explain to people what im going to do next in life, my career and all of it. Thank you for sharing your journey, i could relate and learn from this video in particular! :D
Wonderful Testimony!!! Glory to JESUS 🙌🙌
Praise God! Thank you!
Good one Vihan. may our loving Lod Jesus Christ continue to bless you abundantly.
Thank you for this, Vihan. May god bless you and use you more❤
All glory to God😇
Vihan! Hahahah the way I chuckled because I’m at this very point in my life. Thank you sis ❤️
This is exactly what I've been praying about these past few months, and I believe God brought me to this video and your channel for a reason. Everything you spoke about in this video really resonated with me and definitely encourages me to keep pursuing the Lord and building a relationship with him. I've been trying to start reading books on spiritual growth, and this may sound crazy, but I actually found "The Purpose Driven Life" in my parents' bookshelf after vaguely recognizing the front cover from your video. Thank you so much sister Vihan, you are doing amazing things for the Lord. God bless! ❤
I couldn’t have stumbled upon this video at a more perfect time.
God bless you ,Vihan.
That was really encouraging Vihan♡
May the Good Lord continue to guide you as you walk this narrow path with Him!♡
Your ministry and life has helped me so much Vihan! God's will is so good! Blessings from Albania!
Wow you’re videos are always so encouraging. I thank the Lord for using to speak to me. God bless you and your family!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️
Thank you Vihan for encouraging us to strive in the narrow path ❤️
Vihan Damaris, you are truly inspiring. "SERVING GOD'S PURPOSES IN OUR GENERATION." Acts 13:36a
Your video was recommended to me at the right time. I was asking God this question while I was driving home from work.
Thank you for sharing your story with us! This was very encouraging for me as I am still searching for the career path God has for me that will bring fulfillment and fruit from my labor. I love your personality and your story! ❤
Hi Vihan, thank you so much for this video, this is very encouraging for me! Praise the Lord🙏🏼and God bless you🙏🏼
I'm in that very narrow path you were talking about right now. This video really encouraged me❤.
Thank you for choosing to follow Him on the narrow path 🙏🏾 You are an encouragement to me 💗
Just needed to hear this right now! Thank you so much and glory be to our God Jesus ♥️
Whaaattt this is crazy!! I have a similar testimony with my career (CS). 1st and 2nd year I was in university with only the minimum skills to start the projects God revel into my heart. After that year and a half I had to quit university to support my family and I cry to God because I couldn't see the fruit, and I just remember reading "By their fruit you will recognize them" I was just like "Why not meee!!" haha. Now in my 3rd year I get a great job without even have my title and I learning the things I just needed to start the projects!!
I completely agree with everiting you said, keep pushing and glorifying God with your beautiful worships Vihan
I've been watching you since last year and i'm so blessed with you ❤
Hi Vihan di! It was truly encouraging to hear your story/testimony. I'll be honest, the first time I saw your video pop up on my explore page, I ignored it but when I saw it again second time on the same day, I couldn't ignore It anymore and knew somehow that God wanted me to watch your video. I am glad I listened :)
I am going through the same problems as you did regarding career choices. And I believe God spoke through your video " WAIT ON ME, TRUST ME. HAVE I EVER FAILED YOU?"
In this season of my life, God is training me and teaching me a lot of things that will be useful in my future I believe. As a human being, we can get very impatient and think that God is not listening. But that is not true at all. God knows all our hearts. So I'm just listening, learning and waiting for Gods Good Time. FOR GOD IS NEITHER EARLY OR LATE , HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT ON TIME.
THANK YOU FOR STRENGTHENING MY FAITH AGAIN SISTER
Thank you for sharing your story!! Glory to God❤️ I needed this
You are an encouragement to me. I enjoy watching how you care for the Lord. Bless you sister and thank you ❤
Wonderful Testimony Vihan 👍😊 Glory be to God. ✝️🙏
God : "Follow Me"
God: "Worship Me"
Servant of God - Serves God
God trains for a purpose and it is for His purpose. Amen ✝️🙏👼
Im just so glad to see how your quality of ur videos improved so well didi!! Your speech, expression, your heart. All of it growing so well! Thanking God for making you the head!
I love hearing your story! This came at the PERFECT time for me, as I am struggling thinking about what my life will look like after I graduate college in May. God bless you.
Thank you so much. May God bless you.🙏🙏🙏
Good morning my sister in Christ. I came across your channel today while fasting and praying for the Lord's will for my career. Thank you for your beautiful testimony!
I am really encouraged by your words .. i was in a similar thought from long back to now... But now when I heard it words I felt like a drop of water fall on the hot fire and felt cold... Thank u so much
Thanks Vihan for this message. I am going through that same period right now in my life but I believe that's it's only A Season for my Blessings from God, Amen! Blessings to you🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
this is such a great blessing, encouragement, and testimony! praise Jesus!
I am probably twice your age but your videos have blessed me so much. Thank you for listening to God even through the difficult times. You will bless many. 🥰
Very encouraging 💯🙌🏼 Thank you so much for all your videos which keeps me closer to Jesus. God bless you abundantly Vihan sister🌟
I literally prayed for you when I encountered your video, I was so thankful for you. So thankful that you follow God. You're a blessing to my life and I'm so thankful to God for you. ❤
I have literally just found your channel, but I’m all over the page. Love from Uganda ❣️
Thank you so much. I needed this,God bless you.
Thankyou so very much for your heart before the Lord... I needed to hear this today 🌻 God bless you and your family as you continue to serve Him and pour out His love upon so many...
You're doing a good job, keep going and your mom is really beautiful by the way. God bless you all!
Thank You Vihaan, You’ve been an Answer to many of my Questions. Keep Growing in Christ ❤️
Thanks for sharing this with us Vihaan. God bless you. Happy for you. Keep going.
You are amazing!!! God working through you is amazing 😃💝🙏🏼
Be blessed!!! This is incredible hard work. The scripture in the background, WoW and your message, testimony… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you. Be blessed and protected, you and your whole family.
Hey love, God led me to your channel yesterday, on the video about always being on your phone, and that's me, but God is working on that and I'm grateful, just watching this is encouraging and eye opening for me, you know how God keeps sending you the same message again and again, He's been doing that for me, and you can try to run from God, but you're practically wasting time and energy 😅 so I better listen, Hellen you better listen. Anyways, I have been binge watching your videos, and I love them!!!!! All the time you spent sowing without eating the fruit at the time did not go to waste, may God bless you and keep working in and through you.
Lots of love from Kenya ❤️
Loved this video Vihan. I lost my job twice. It shocked and embarassed me at that time because I was a hard worker. But now I realized it was God's plan. Today I am the catechism co ordinator in Gulf country. I pass faith to thousands of children. So I know the fulfilment you are talking about in the video. When my income stopped, Almighty God doubled my husband's income. What more I could ask for? We could also help a lot of others in need. When we work for God, He will take care of our needs, this is my testimony.
I am glad to hear, praise God! May you keep putting your trust in Him through His precious Son Jesus and no one else! God bless you and your family
I'm very blessed hearing your words it encourages me alot thank you for these precious word the only thing that makes my heart heavy is that I don't know why there's something when I read God's word something is there that binds my thought and my mind and especially when I start to worship maybe it is on our everyday service or anywhere it's seem that there's something which doesn't allow me to be free... So I wanna feel his presence and I want to worship God freely and alive... 🙏
Thank you for this Vihan. ❤So inspiring. I really need this right now, so timely. 😇🤗 Blessings! ☺
God bless you. I'm very blessed to watch this.😇❤️
Vihan everytime i see your video it gives me a different kinda joy, so happy for you. I usually don't comment on any video. But watching your videos REALLY INSPIRES ME!!! PRAISE GOD FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL LIKE YOU.....!!!😍😘

Your journey really inspires me and God led me here at the perfect time 💙 I am eternally grateful to you ,to all childrens of god and God himself ,forever and always. 🌌💙❤
Truly inspiring, I can't wait for God to reveal all the preparation of his master plan, his glory is unmatched
AMEN sister, career advice, choose the narrow path. wonderful.
Happy to hear your testimony. I was also in such a stage in my life after my studies. God helped me grow spiritually and drew me closer to Him. Now my doing masters studies but i want to do something for my God and I'm like I don't know where to start.

Love love this! Thanks for sharing! ♥️
This is so beautiful, so blessed by your videos! 🥲❤️❤️
Thank you so much for thiiiis ♡♡♡
It helped me so much to know what the Lord wants me to take in college 🥺
Praise God! 😄🙌
Thank you Vihan! This is something that has been on my mind and heart for a long time and recently, I've actually been hearing God much clearer. You've just confirmed my questions and what God's been telling me. All the best sister! God be with you.
Wooohoo! Praise God!
Great testimony Lord God use you in a mighty way for young generation to find truth (Lord Jesus). Many blessings.
I thank the Lord for you. It's amazing how He used an introvert just like me to clear up my confusion about a career. I'm currently so much on the narrow path. And nothing is "happening" and I do face a lot of pressure of - "What are you doing?" :) Our Father is the God of Increase!! And increase comes when you continue in what you already know.
This is exactly what I needed to hear at the moment. I can literally feel you! Going through a similar path
such a wonderful tesimony may God bless you more
5 years of dodging money, family's need for money,...... This is a valuable video, much more than the songs - a detailed testimony. Thank you. I was stuck with questions asking God for answers and you reiterated the same words God had promised me through a prophet few days back. The narrow path still has a day of restoration, of hundred fold blessings to come. Like Abraham stuck to his faith, "THOUGH HE DID NOT SEE IT", I will move on by His help.
I’m literally on the verge of picking or at least navigating the beginning of ‘the narrow path’ instead of the known, traditional, predicament wide path…
This video is another encouragement on top of what God has been showing me of trust - thank you. (Not just for the video, but for taking the journey and recording it for us to see!)
I do wonder though, how do you plan (if at all) or work towards what God shows you?
This video has motivated me much...your near past so much relates with my present... I must say vihan, God has literally let me crash into your channel to let me know .."hey child...look i'v got someone for u with quite a similar struggle...listen to her and gear up...to believe in the beautiful story I hav written abt you".... Thankyou so much for all that you do for Christ and His people...God bless! Need you prayers. Thankyou...Glory to God ..Jesus reigns forever and ever!
Wow! Thanks for sharing Jovita! Sooo blessed to know, you've no idea! God bless you. Amen!
Even I went through the journey of understanding that when we serve God it cannot be divided like full time or half time. It cannot be like serving God 12 hours and serving world 12 hours. We cannot step on 2 boats. Career choice is that weak link in us youths that creates doubt and confusion. Like God asked you to just "Worship Him", God has asked all of us to seek Him and His kingdom before anything else. Thats says it all....you can be a teacher, Banker, Musician, a corporate person ,etc and still serve God 24 hours through your lifestyle. We have so many people around us who need to hear the gospel...most of them are not in church, this should encourage us to go out and preach the Gospel. God calls people differently...but the purpose remains same always...Serve him "in season & out season", no matter what!
Thank you this really helped me 😄
This really helped me to get through my own challenges with my career.
Thank you for sharing! God bless.
God bless you you are awesome I wish more could be like you let's pray. Jesus Christ you're amazing
Came at such a perfect time.Totally relatable.I am in plus one and like u shared everytime i think about my career i end up with a firm resolution that i will justt live this live for God to glorify him and not for money and fame.But later on again i doubt myself like does God really want me?.Andworrying abt what courses should i do what career i should choose
Just blessed by your testimony. 🙏
Amen i really needed to hear this❤
Vihan, i atleast had forwarded to 15 young talents in my local community church. I am so blessed by your videos down from South Chennai. Indeed Our Lord is beautiful to make who walks out from this world towards Him. Walking in the Light seems possible for my brothers , sisters like me.
just wanted to say that I really love you, like who you are, what you ´re doing.
Keep being a child of God, you ´ re a real a beautiful girl 💕💕💕
