This message was so powerful and on time! “It is when that constant feed of distraction is being disrupted, that we can hear the knock on the door” 🔥 Amen. Speak Holy Spirit ! You are on it girl!
I’m just finishing viewing your video and I’m sitting here in tears. I’m so guilty of daydreaming and fantasizing about a better (life, job, health, etc.) and not being present and grateful for the now. I have been blessed with a lot, but my worldly eyes don’t see it. Thank you for this wake up call and for your prayer. I pray this coming week our eyes will be open to our spiritual slumber and take action with the help from the Holy Spirit to make corrections. 🙏🏾🤗💛
Amen Yvonne 🙏🏽🤍 we’re all guilty of doing this because that’s how our world today has been set up. To make us want more, bigger and better. It’s the agenda of the enemy being pushed! It’s that daily battle to fix our eyes on Jesus instead. What he wants for you is 1000x better than how you fantasise your life to be 🥰 Lean into his arms and start practicing that daily gratitude towards him. You’ll see the change, I’m very confident of that!
What helped me stop doing that so much was starting a gratitude journal. Write in it 5 things you are thankful for everyday until you naturally wake up with gratitude in your heart.
wauw congrats sis!!! 🥳🤍 that’s so incredible to hear. I pray that God’s favour and provision will be upon you to sustain you throughout your new job. I also pray for amazing colleagues in Jesus name, amen 🤗
Oh my God😭...God has been calling me to wake up after 3 years of slumber..he's been speaking to me to break my fantasizing and day dreaming habit which has been part of me for morethan 14 years... i used to take my fantasizing habit as a normal thing and never met anyone with the same situation. But 3 weeks ago i saw a video about it being an enemy's attack. I started to be conscious about it and now u brought it.😭 i think God is about to heal me and set me free after all those years. I will wake up by the power of God. Thank you God🙏 debs you're lucky to be the vessel of God. 💛🙏
Amen!! Your Heavenly Father is speaking and calling you into all that he has for you. It’s a process, but I pray that he will guide you out of this habit of fantasising and daydreaming. Not in your own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within you as God’s child 🤍💪🏽 Continue to draw near to him, and may that awareness continue to stir up within you so you can catch yourself and deviate your thoughts when you’re doing it. You’re set free in Jesus name, amen!! 🙏🏽
One thing God’s been teaching me to do as he sets me free from maladaptive daydreaming is when I start doing it to pause, and ask myself why. Why did we just stop functioning in reality in that moment? What are you feeling? What’s triggering you right now? My own experience with maladaptive daydreaming was birthed out of severe childhood trauma. As an adult I’ve realized when I stop to ask myself these questions my daydreaming is a response to stress, fear, or anxiety. So, when this kicks in I’ve been learning to stop and tell myself it’s okay to feel xyz feelings. Let’s take these to God. If I’m feeling sad I ask for comfort. If I’m feeling afraid I ask for Him to help me tap into the peace He’s already provided. I also tell Him that I’m scared. This process that God is taking me through is helping me learn that I don’t have to hide my feelings. God isn’t intimidated by them. He cares about what I’m going through. He’s the safe place that I can escape to. Thank you for sharing with us Deborah❤
I'm struggling with daydreaming a lot recently 😭😭 I feel like I’m getting away from God more and more. I see the “you’re backsliding. go back to Jesus" videos on my YT recommendations. and I’m ignoring them. but just now I returned from a two hours long walk where I was listening to music and just daydreaming and as I got home - opened UA-cam and seeing this 😭😭😭😭😭 Lord is fighting for every soul, how good He is 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's only January and spiritual warfare on me has been high that I end up praying in the early hours, asking for forgiveness for my sins. Thank you for highlighting that daydreaming and fantasising can be harmful in our walk with God! I've been guilty of this and I believe this is a sign He wants me to bring it to Him 😢
A lot of us are definitely in the thick of that warfare sis! You’re not alone, something has to be shifting in the spiritual realm. Continue to call on the Holy Spirit for help to fight and combat things like daydreaming. He will help you 🤍 you are set free and victorious in Jesus mighty name! You’re in my prayers this week 🥰
Am guilty of the fantasies daydreams, hooked on youtube. Just catching myself and no longer riding with it. Trying to use my time wisely, Getting into the word for my current situation and waiting and trying just to meditate. The lord wants to do a new thing in me for 2024
I've been seeing a lot of videos on my feed about maladaptive daydreaming. I was praying to God about it, and then I just started seeing these videos talking about exactly what I struggle with. God is so good. Thank you for putting this out.
You’re not alone sis!! And God knows exactly what you need when you need it. Continue to call on him for help, he’s always willing! You are set free in Jesus mighty name to wake up and walk through the now 🤍🙏🏽
These are things I always used to struggle with these things and I just finished praying and fasting about it and I have been delivered. Glory be to God🙌🏾🙏🏾
Amen!!! 🙏🏽🤍 that’s so incredible to hear sis! Continue to lean on God, he’s your strength throughout every season. This is only the beginning of all he has for you 🤗
Loved when you said, regarding our minds, with social media, phones, that we are “being slowly rocked to sleep” that was incredible Deborah, great word today❤️
I think no matter who you are or what your situation is, the enemy will distract you and make you think your life would be better if 'this' or 'that', etc. I'm married and have 4 kids, and the enemy distracts me too. For me, it's usually like him filling my mind with fears, with all of the what-if moments and just generally trying to drag me down in fear so that I won't make a move. If I'm stuck in fear, thinking about all of these scenarios where things could go wrong, I become less able to go forth and do what God has for me that day. I need to let faith be louder than fear, and I need to pray against the lies instead of spending time thinking about them. I need to move forward and trust God and what He says because He is ALWAYS stronger than the enemy.
We have to be conscious and alert about the things that are distracting us, an the worse thing is that those can become an idol even when we don't realize it. I pray the Lord to be close and focus on him. 🙏
I know the feeling trust me 😞 it’s a way we escape that feels so safe and comforting, but it’s really setting us up badly. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you sis, he will!! In Jesus mighty name you’re set free. May God walk you into everything he has for you. What he has for you is 10000 better than what you’re fantasising about right now! 🥳🙏🏽
I’ve been having so much warfare these past 2 weeks it’s terrible.. I need to get out there be on my socials sharing my journey and testimony as a single mom, domestic violence survivor and that that will help other woman and show them how God can turn your situation around that may seem like you will never get out of to something beautiful. I’ve been procrastinating this for months now, I have the equipment the gear everything to start and the enemy is just in my head. I will start a 3 day Esther fast to get myself back on track
Amen sis!! So many will be blessed by what God has been doing in your life! Especially if you already have everything ready, what are you waiting for? 🥳 May our Heavenly Father carry you in what’s to come. May he strengthen and encourage you in what he has for you. I’m excited for you girl!!
Sooo timely ! I noticed I daydream about conversations I want to have often and that's time I could be talking to God. I've done this my whole life and only a month ago I realized how unhealthy this is and as soon as I came to that awareness and started to pray about it, I started to see videos on youtube about maladaptive daydreaming which I never knew was a thing! Thank you !
Thank you for being obedient and letting the Lord use you to deliver this message ❤ it was definitely for me and sparked a fresh fire in me. God bless you sis
Siss, I can relate to this so much! I've been struggling with daydreaming and fantasizing for the longest time, especially since I am not in place where I thought I would be and never have had a boyfriend. So, it has always been kind of an escape for me. But it's true that you said, we should be and stay alert. These past few weeks I have been attacked with spiritual warfare so much, especially in my mind with regards to my health and how I feel. But by the blood of the Lamb, the enemy has already been overcome. But I would really appreciate prayer with regards to standing strong against these spiritual forces and daydreaming. 🤍🤍 I love you siss and thank you for these videos. Truly such a blessing in my life 🤗❤️
The knocking door message really hit me. I’m guilty of getting distracted too, and that’s definitely something I am currently working on. I’ve noticed that many of others when I’m out also like you said on their phones, and when you deep it it’s really sad to see. The fantasying is something that seems harmless but causes harm because the comparison of what’s real and what’s not really sucks. Thank you for this message it’s definitely a wake up call, may God bless you sis🤍🙏
Hi, When you started talking about the fantasy, I took a step back. I was doing that and honestly liked it. It shocked me because, for some reason, I'm not content with my life right now, but because I made those fantasies in my head, I was just like, whoa, Now I understand, and thank you for this video. It helps me a lot right now.
Yes, we are soldiers in God's army. You are speaking Truth and I'm so grateful! Praying for you in your time of warfare. I know too well how heavy and exhausting this is.
Thank you so much, I have been struggling with daydreaming for a long period of time. I thanks God because I need to be present in the presence of God so that I can offer myself as a living sacrifice to God. And that is how I can live a life according to God's will which is good and perfect.
Your message came in perfect timing. College has become stressful again and to cope I kinda reverted back to fantasies. Thank you to God for shinning this word through you.
This message came at the right time, Thank You Lord🙏🏽. Past few weeks I have been so demotivated and lazy to do anything but today I opened my bible and journal.
Praise the Lord!! 🙏🏽🤍 it’s one step at a time. I’m so proud of you for opening the word again. I pray that it’ll feed you and that you’ll experience God’s strength through this. In your weakness he is strong!!
God plucked me out of the slumber of a lukewarm season. When I tell you it was literally like I was jolted awake. I hadn’t even known I was sleeping, and when you wake up it literally feels like your spirit was slumbering but is active. Such a great video. Like serious you can’t pour into others and share the good news if you spirit is slumbering
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
thanks for this one again ! please include prayers at the end of every faith talk, coming in agreement in prayer is so powerful I literally feel rejuvenated in the Spirit! like I literally just woke up haha ! May the LORD bless you Deborah :)
Praise the Lord!! 😃🤍 May he walk with you through this Sunday and the new week to come! I pray for that continued stir of the Holy Spirit within you, and I’ll start including the prayers at the end of the episodes 🤗
THIS ! I watched a testimony lately, of Pastor John Mulinde from Uganda. That slaps me so hard. I recommend. Everybody needs to sit and watch this video. "Fun fact", he gave his testimony 10 years ago and it's shaking up people. God really does remain patient with us. There's also Psaume 50 and 2 Peter 6 that talk about God remaining patient but wanting his people to come back to him and turn from their old ways, to repent and really work on being obedient. God is really waking up his church right now. Holy Spirit, please help us not to fall and stay asleep, but be awake. We need you. ✨👑🔥
this is sooo goood, lord knows how much I struggle with daydreaming, but recently God delivered. Im waking up, God has me meditating on 2 Corinthians 10vs5
God is truly amazing!!! The last couple of weeks God woke up a lot of christians on the same topic!! He literally told me about this spirit like 2 weeks ago,he wants to set us free halleluja 🎀💕
What do you do when nothing is happening in your life? I’m still long-term unemployed after a year (second time going through this), no income, no savings, still live with my parent in a tiny apartment, lived on welfare my whole life, and never dated before. I want to help others, but I can’t even help myself. I just feel stuck. I ask God for some movement so I can be productive, but nothing has been working out. I’m just stuck at home for years. I cry often because this season feels like it’ll never end. I’ve been sleeping a lot and having a lack of energy, not eating well because I don’t have enough money to eat healthy meals even with food stamps. Coffee doesn’t even keep me awake. Job rejection after job rejection. Silence. I don’t know where God is taking me…I’m so tired. 😪 At this point, it’s not even the daydreaming I’m struggling with, it’s the lack of energy.
I sympathize with you so much, I felt so lost for years being unemployed and having no drive in life until I came to Jesus and just gave it all to Him, God opened my eyes to see my life through His eyes and I just felt so blessed because despite being unemployed for many years I still had food in my stomach everyday, clothes on my back and a roof over my head, God has provided for me and I didn’t even notice that. I’m still unemployed and waiting but now I wait differently because I put my hope and trust in Gods perfect timing. God knows what we need and in Him we will not lack anything, where we are now is exactly where He wants us to be ❤
THIS!!! Our God is such a good and on-time God even when disciplining and correcting us for our good and His glory! May His Spirit strengthen us to obey. Thank Debs for your faithfulness to our good good Father. 🫶🏽🙏🏾
I’m actually speechless rn! I just opened UA-cam and I see your video on the exact topic I have problems with in the last 3 weeks. Unbelievable! Thank you!!
Look at God!! He’s so so intentional. He knows exactly what you need when you need it. May he strengthen you on your journey with him 💪🏽🤍 he’s right beside you sis!
i am 14 and this is really such a wake up call thank you so muchhhh. I was always sitting there wondering why i seemed so deppressed and distant and disinterested but your video has truly opened my eyes, you are truly a work of God.
DEBORAH YES 😭❤❤❤ for a while ive been asking God to help me with the daydreaming, and then a couple weeks ago i saw a video from this channel called faiths consecrated space about maladaptive daydreaming/ fantasy (check it out!! Its amazing) and it really made me shape up. The effects kinda wore off a bit tho 😅 and then i saw this!! Im trying, its difficult (ive been trusting God for good friends in my school, and especislly christian friends) and ive been through this for YEARS 😭 but one of my favourite friends (we're online friends) told me about gratitude concerning this and ive been so much happier recently 😊 plus God is our strength and gives us grace!! i pray that God will strengthen us all in Jesus's name!! Thank you so much for the work you do. The phone this is also so very true 😂 im gonna try and reduce my screen time lol
Hi Deborah 🙂 I don't want the enemy in my life. I went to church ⛪️ this morning. Now I'm watching Christian UA-cam channels like yours (of course). Your Faith Talks are a highlight of the week. 🙏
So sorry that you had a tough week❤ I'll pray that this new week is better, but even if it's not better I pray that Christ will lighten the burden and equip you to handle it with grace❤love the TV analogy as it's something I'm struggling with! We truly need to be more disciplined and intentional with our actions. Amen!
Amen, thank you so much for your prayer and kind words sis 🥹🤍These days we all struggle with distractions 😭 but I pray God’s strength over ever single one of us, that through his power we will stand victorious in resisting the distractions and temptations the enemy lays before us! Jesus is with you every single day
AMEN SISTER🙌🏾. Shared with my coworker who is struggling in so many areas. I am going to keep lifting her up and sharing messages like this to strengthen her. Thank you so much Deborah for sharing about your mom. I pray that your mom gets her fight back in Jesus name and that she does not accept satan's packages...RETURN TO SENDER!!!
Thank you for sharing this message! I’ve always struggled with daydreaming and fantasizing, especially about things/situations in my life that aren’t as I hoped they would be. I’ve had moments and periods of time where by the grace of God and the Holy Spirit I’ve overcome those fantasies but the last several months I’ve definitely been asleep and let this overtake in my life again.
Thank you sister in Christ! The spiritual warfare has been rough but God has been good through it all so this reminder was on time🤍 praying you have a week full of growth, blessing and peace.
Fantasizing and daydreaming isn’t wrong it’s the start of knowing what you want in life in order to work towards it. You can realize when you’re comparing and change your perspective to be grateful for where you’re at and still work towards better.
This is the one, I recently learned about this being such a huge stronghold in my life. It’s a calling for sure and I’m more than blessed to be here to listen to you. Such a blessing opportunity I thank you and pray over your life in the name of the Holy Spirit. May he continue to bless his children. Thank you for your prayer as well❤
This week started off not bad. But not so good towards the end, all because of a guy and my mind. It's been very difficult. This video was perfect timing!
Debby! I'm keeping you in my prayers. Your short form word on this topic on ig really helped me. It was something I've struggled with for years to cope with life not going my way and depression. Love the content and love you. Fr fr tho i wasnt just saying i pray for you everyday. I really do be doing that.😅 Thank God i found you and your channel. Hope this is your best year yet.
Thank you so much sis 🥹🤍 I really appreciate your prayers and kind words! I know the struggle with the fantasizing. It’s so hard to let go of, but God has sooo much more for you. The bible says it in Ephesians 3:20, what he has for you is 1000 better than what you you’re fantasising about right now. So you’re safe to let it go 🤍 May our heavenly dad encourage you and fill you with him. You won’t even think about fantasising soon in Jesus name!!
This is what I need to hear! Thankyou Debora please keep spreading words from God. I've been struggling with maladaptive daydreaming for years and made my reality life more bad. I've been procrastinate and sleeping so long that I feel like my body was there but my mind always going anywhere. I keep wasting time. I'm not feeling like living in the present. I know it's wrong and I've been struggling with it but it so hard to get outta that hole, I even feel like these thing is just part of my life that I even thinking if I'm not daydream for one day then I wouldn't be alive. Everytime I pray or doing my devotional time then the next day I keep falling again with this kind of sin, the life I was expecting or dreaming. These past weeks is one of my downfall, I hate my life and even myself, i hate everything about me. I always say I'm a failure because everything I do wasn't going the way I wanted/expecting it to be. I really wanna get out of this sin, and I'm still struggling till this day but I want to comment here and back to this video when I want to daydreaming, is there any tips to not keep falling and please pray for me. Thankyou so much Debora may God bless u. I'm sorry for my bad english anyway🙏🏻
Wow, I was literally just talking to God about this and I opened up UA-cam and this was the first video. This really spoke to me and I choose to get up and fight back in Jesus name!!
Gurl I was taking notes like my Spiritual Life depended on it.!!! Ahhhhh Yasssss! God had you speaking nothing but truth. Yes the Spiritual attachs was hitting me hard too last week. Especially mentally. I have never been close with my mother either. We have talked and laughed together. She is in her 70's. I love her. Im grateful she is still alive and in good health. There has definitely been a rift between us these pass few years and she acts like nothing is wrong. It has been painful but. Like david said when my mother and father forsake me the LORD will receive me. I have forgiven her. She has done some bad things too me but glory to God im not bitter. He's making me better. YES ITS PRUNING SEASON. LIKE THE SONG SAYS AFTER THIS IM GOING TO LOOK MORE LIKE JESUS. MORE ANOINTING, AUTHORITY, AND POWER. AFTER THIS.... I LOVE THAT SONG. I LOVE IT. I FEEL SO ENCOURAGING BY THIS MESSAGE. KEEP EM COMING
I promise you that majority of the videos you post is directed to something personal in my life. God is definitely giving me a message through your videos!!
Deborah, this was a powerful and beautiful message! I pray that God continues to fill you with an abundance of zeal and passion for Him and His word so that you can continue to bless us. It is truly a blessing to be filled with God’s word with and through someone who clearly loves the Lord with all her heart and soul. Thank you for being an amazing blessing! ~Michelle E.
I was in this situation heavily in the past last months of 2023. Emphasizing on "heavily". To the point that God is calling me out to it, and even helping me get out of that, that whenever I did that, verses cruising to my mind or worship songs and immediately even forgetting what I was daydreaming about. But I said NO for a lot of times and even have a self to self talk 😂 "what are you doing?" "God is already giving you a way out". But yeah, I said NO to that call out. Oh, boy. However, it got so heavy that even when I was studying the Bible, those daydreaming popping out of nowhere. That's where my, "Ah, this needs to stop." And I praise God that I've been delivered and haven't been doing this at all for quite some time now. ❤
This was so on time. I had goals, things I wanted to achieve and I really thought I was on the right path. But exactly on Valentine's Day my world came crashing down. Things I thought were a skip away suddenly no longer feel attainable. The spiritual warfare has been crazy this month. But I have hope. Thank you for this message ❤
My week to be honest was tough and i was been attacked in every corner by this spiritual warefares but i prayed to GOD and it really helped, i refuse to late the devil/the enemy take control IN JESUS NAME AMEN🙏🙏 Thanks for this Debz GOD BLESS YOU❤❤
Hi Deborah, your Faith Talks topic today speaks to the importance of discipline! Staying focused with a goal in mind. Which is letting God order your steps and you submitting to His will, daily! As you stated; prayer, fasting, reading and DOING God's holy Word helps foster a discipline life in God. If you ever get fuzzy and a short memory about that, just remind yourself of your testimony and what Jesus did for you. If that doesn't help then you might be in more trouble than you know! God bless you Deborah, and thank you for another God inspired video 😊
In my morning prayer of today I have been led to Matthew 24v 18. The chapter is about the return of JESUS. Yeah I needed and every day will need this especially in these days🙏🏼 God bless you. Follower from Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa❤
Deborah, you better preach! Lord, I hear you! Maladaptive daydreaming is real. This is something I struggle with however by his stripes I'm healed. God we thank you for this message, we thank you for our sister Deborah and we thank you even more for our community ❤
Girlllll! I've never commented before but..This message was so extremely powerful! God is using you mighitly in these endtimes! I love everything about you and your channel! God bless you with more and more insignt and wisdom! xxx
You are SO timely. We deff hv to CONSCIOUSLY reCenter & reFocus. . . In some seasons, this may be necc Daily. Some seasons ? sec by second - Thank you for your Purity, Obedience, & Faithfulness Deb. Awesome word ❤
Powerful message, great analogy of folks on phones, watching TV and just plain ole distractions! On point for sure...hit home. Yeah, the fam is growing. January is almost in the books, bring on February!!♒❣️✨
I've found myself bowing down to "rest". I'd rather relax than be in the word, I just want to sleep often. I'm asleep in both the physical and the spiritual. It's insane. It stops now! Thank you for this video.❤
It’s tough to face these things 😞 but God wants to do so much in your life and things like this definitely hold us back! May the Lord walk you into all that he has for you sis leaving these things behind 🤍
Great Message! Thank you for the prayer. I am so sorry about your mum, I pray for her during this time. Amen. My mum just turned 65 and I am so grateful for her life. She is still in high spirits, shares prayers with me every day and still acts like she is 25 in spirit. Life is for living. May this week bring you joy today and always. Amen
My mother and I also don’t have a close relationship and she is also giving up and closing off because of her mental health. I pray for her often. Thank you for this!
Timely as always 🙏🏾. Spent the past few weeks being "asleep" and feeding myself with distractions. For the first time in weeks, I heard God's voice say "I miss you" 😢💔, then i stumbled upon your video. Thanks for the reminder 🤍 I'm awake, Lord!
Ever since I realised this maladaptive daydreaming thing was really a madness in my daily life i've seen videos on it spring up like wildfire....and now you-im listening. 🥲God give all of us going through this, s t r e n g t h.❤
This message was so powerful and on time! “It is when that constant feed of distraction is being disrupted, that we can hear the knock on the door” 🔥 Amen. Speak Holy Spirit ! You are on it girl!
Praise the Lord!! All glory goes to God 🥹🙏🏽
I’m just finishing viewing your video and I’m sitting here in tears. I’m so guilty of daydreaming and fantasizing about a better (life, job, health, etc.) and not being present and grateful for the now. I have been blessed with a lot, but my worldly eyes don’t see it. Thank you for this wake up call and for your prayer.
I pray this coming week our eyes will be open to our spiritual slumber and take action with the help from the Holy Spirit to make corrections. 🙏🏾🤗💛
Amen Yvonne 🙏🏽🤍 we’re all guilty of doing this because that’s how our world today has been set up. To make us want more, bigger and better. It’s the agenda of the enemy being pushed! It’s that daily battle to fix our eyes on Jesus instead. What he wants for you is 1000x better than how you fantasise your life to be 🥰 Lean into his arms and start practicing that daily gratitude towards him. You’ll see the change, I’m very confident of that!
@@deborahbx_ thank you Deborah, have a blessed week. 🤗💛
amen 🙏🙏❤️❤️
What helped me stop doing that so much was starting a gratitude journal. Write in it 5 things you are thankful for everyday until you naturally wake up with gratitude in your heart.
@@marriageiswealth Thanks, I will try that. Have a blessed day. 🙏🏾
Hi fam ,I have a testimony ❤ I got a job been asking for prayers and God answered I'm starting a new job on the 1st of Feb...Our God is faithful
wauw congrats sis!!! 🥳🤍 that’s so incredible to hear. I pray that God’s favour and provision will be upon you to sustain you throughout your new job. I also pray for amazing colleagues in Jesus name, amen 🤗
Hallelujah...WONT HE DO IT💛🎗🙏🙏
Amen!
Oh my God😭...God has been calling me to wake up after 3 years of slumber..he's been speaking to me to break my fantasizing and day dreaming habit which has been part of me for morethan 14 years... i used to take my fantasizing habit as a normal thing and never met anyone with the same situation. But 3 weeks ago i saw a video about it being an enemy's attack. I started to be conscious about it and now u brought it.😭 i think God is about to heal me and set me free after all those years. I will wake up by the power of God. Thank you God🙏
debs you're lucky to be the vessel of God. 💛🙏
Amen!! Your Heavenly Father is speaking and calling you into all that he has for you. It’s a process, but I pray that he will guide you out of this habit of fantasising and daydreaming. Not in your own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within you as God’s child 🤍💪🏽 Continue to draw near to him, and may that awareness continue to stir up within you so you can catch yourself and deviate your thoughts when you’re doing it. You’re set free in Jesus name, amen!! 🙏🏽

Am guilty of the fantasies daydreams, hooked on youtube. Just catching myself and no longer riding with it. Trying to use my time wisely, Getting into the word for my current situation and waiting and trying just to meditate. The lord wants to do a new thing in me for 2024
I've been seeing a lot of videos on my feed about maladaptive daydreaming. I was praying to God about it, and then I just started seeing these videos talking about exactly what I struggle with. God is so good. Thank you for putting this out.
You’re not alone sis!! And God knows exactly what you need when you need it. Continue to call on him for help, he’s always willing! You are set free in Jesus mighty name to wake up and walk through the now 🤍🙏🏽

These are things I always used to struggle with these things and I just finished praying and fasting about it and I have been delivered. Glory be to God🙌🏾🙏🏾
Amen!!! 🙏🏽🤍 that’s so incredible to hear sis! Continue to lean on God, he’s your strength throughout every season. This is only the beginning of all he has for you 🤗
@@deborahbx_Amen 🙏🏾
Loved when you said, regarding our minds, with social media, phones, that we are “being slowly rocked to sleep” that was incredible Deborah, great word today❤️
I think no matter who you are or what your situation is, the enemy will distract you and make you think your life would be better if 'this' or 'that', etc. I'm married and have 4 kids, and the enemy distracts me too. For me, it's usually like him filling my mind with fears, with all of the what-if moments and just generally trying to drag me down in fear so that I won't make a move. If I'm stuck in fear, thinking about all of these scenarios where things could go wrong, I become less able to go forth and do what God has for me that day. I need to let faith be louder than fear, and I need to pray against the lies instead of spending time thinking about them. I need to move forward and trust God and what He says because He is ALWAYS stronger than the enemy.
We have to be conscious and alert about the things that are distracting us, an the worse thing is that those can become an idol even when we don't realize it. I pray the Lord to be close and focus on him. 🙏
Amen!
First of all, the hair is GIVING. You are so naturally beautiful.
Secondly, thank you for your gifts and words.
9:36 called me out so bad 😭 I’ve been doing this for a couple of days now and it’s hard for me to let go
I know the feeling trust me 😞 it’s a way we escape that feels so safe and comforting, but it’s really setting us up badly. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you sis, he will!! In Jesus mighty name you’re set free. May God walk you into everything he has for you. What he has for you is 10000 better than what you’re fantasising about right now! 🥳🙏🏽
@@deborahbx_ amen and I’m glad God put this video on my page it was the wake up call I needed God bless you too sis ❤️❤️
I’ve been having so much warfare these past 2 weeks it’s terrible.. I need to get out there be on my socials sharing my journey and testimony as a single mom, domestic violence survivor and that that will help other woman and show them how God can turn your situation around that may seem like you will never get out of to something beautiful.
I’ve been procrastinating this for months now, I have the equipment the gear everything to start and the enemy is just in my head. I will start a 3 day Esther fast to get myself back on track
Amen sis!! So many will be blessed by what God has been doing in your life! Especially if you already have everything ready, what are you waiting for? 🥳 May our Heavenly Father carry you in what’s to come. May he strengthen and encourage you in what he has for you. I’m excited for you girl!!
Sooo timely ! I noticed I daydream about conversations I want to have often and that's time I could be talking to God. I've done this my whole life and only a month ago I realized how unhealthy this is and as soon as I came to that awareness and started to pray about it, I started to see videos on youtube about maladaptive daydreaming which I never knew was a thing! Thank you !
Amen! Holy Spirit help each and every one of us.
Amen 🤍🤍
Thank you for being obedient and letting the Lord use you to deliver this message ❤ it was definitely for me and sparked a fresh fire in me. God bless you sis
Praise the Lord sis!! May he continue to strengthen and encourage you on your journey with him 💪🏽🤍 it’s not easy but you’re never alone :)
Siss, I can relate to this so much! I've been struggling with daydreaming and fantasizing for the longest time, especially since I am not in place where I thought I would be and never have had a boyfriend. So, it has always been kind of an escape for me. But it's true that you said, we should be and stay alert. These past few weeks I have been attacked with spiritual warfare so much, especially in my mind with regards to my health and how I feel. But by the blood of the Lamb, the enemy has already been overcome.
But I would really appreciate prayer with regards to standing strong against these spiritual forces and daydreaming. 🤍🤍
I love you siss and thank you for these videos. Truly such a blessing in my life 🤗❤️
The knocking door message really hit me. I’m guilty of getting distracted too, and that’s definitely something I am currently working on. I’ve noticed that many of others when I’m out also like you said on their phones, and when you deep it it’s really sad to see. The fantasying is something that seems harmless but causes harm because the comparison of what’s real and what’s not really sucks. Thank you for this message it’s definitely a wake up call, may God bless you sis🤍🙏
Hi,
When you started talking about the fantasy, I took a step back. I was doing that and honestly liked it. It shocked me because, for some reason, I'm not content with my life right now, but because I made those fantasies in my head, I was just like, whoa, Now I understand, and thank you for this video. It helps me a lot right now.
Yes, we are soldiers in God's army. You are speaking Truth and I'm so grateful! Praying for you in your time of warfare. I know too well how heavy and exhausting this is.
Thank you so much, I have been struggling with daydreaming for a long period of time. I thanks God because I need to be present in the presence of God so that I can offer myself as a living sacrifice to God. And that is how I can live a life according to God's will which is good and perfect.
Your message came in perfect timing. College has become stressful again and to cope I kinda reverted back to fantasies. Thank you to God for shinning this word through you.
This message came at the right time, Thank You Lord🙏🏽.
Past few weeks I have been so demotivated and lazy to do anything but today I opened my bible and journal.
Praise the Lord!! 🙏🏽🤍 it’s one step at a time. I’m so proud of you for opening the word again. I pray that it’ll feed you and that you’ll experience God’s strength through this. In your weakness he is strong!!
@@deborahbx_ Thank you 🤍🙏🏽
God plucked me out of the slumber of a lukewarm season. When I tell you it was literally like I was jolted awake. I hadn’t even known I was sleeping, and when you wake up it literally feels like your spirit was slumbering but is active.
Such a great video. Like serious you can’t pour into others and share the good news if you spirit is slumbering
Girl!!! Continue listening to thie voice of God! This was FOR ME! This is not my portion and I can wake up!
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Amen 🙏🏽🗣️
thanks for this one again ! please include prayers at the end of every faith talk, coming in agreement in prayer is so powerful I literally feel rejuvenated in the Spirit! like I literally just woke up haha ! May the LORD bless you Deborah :)
Praise the Lord!! 😃🤍 May he walk with you through this Sunday and the new week to come! I pray for that continued stir of the Holy Spirit within you, and I’ll start including the prayers at the end of the episodes 🤗
Due to OCD, Maladaptive daydreaming has being a challenge for years in my life. God bless you Debby
THIS ! I watched a testimony lately, of Pastor John Mulinde from Uganda. That slaps me so hard. I recommend. Everybody needs to sit and watch this video. "Fun fact", he gave his testimony 10 years ago and it's shaking up people. God really does remain patient with us. There's also Psaume 50 and 2 Peter 6 that talk about God remaining patient but wanting his people to come back to him and turn from their old ways, to repent and really work on being obedient.
God is really waking up his church right now. Holy Spirit, please help us not to fall and stay asleep, but be awake. We need you. ✨👑🔥
I will check out his testimony as well!! Thank you for sharing sis 🤍
Amen yes the enemy always tries to distract us🦋
this is sooo goood, lord knows how much I struggle with daydreaming, but recently God delivered. Im waking up, God has me meditating on 2 Corinthians 10vs5
God is truly amazing!!!
The last couple of weeks God woke up a lot of christians on the same topic!!
He literally told me about this spirit like 2 weeks ago,he wants to set us free halleluja 🎀💕
Yeah I've noticed that fantasies do not at all relate to reality so I seek gods will ONLY I want the fantasies to GO AWAY in Jesus name.
In Jesus mighty name you are set free!!!!
What do you do when nothing is happening in your life? I’m still long-term unemployed after a year (second time going through this), no income, no savings, still live with my parent in a tiny apartment, lived on welfare my whole life, and never dated before. I want to help others, but I can’t even help myself. I just feel stuck.
I ask God for some movement so I can be productive, but nothing has been working out. I’m just stuck at home for years. I cry often because this season feels like it’ll never end. I’ve been sleeping a lot and having a lack of energy, not eating well because I don’t have enough money to eat healthy meals even with food stamps. Coffee doesn’t even keep me awake. Job rejection after job rejection. Silence. I don’t know where God is taking me…I’m so tired. 😪 At this point, it’s not even the daydreaming I’m struggling with, it’s the lack of energy.
I sympathize with you so much, I felt so lost for years being unemployed and having no drive in life until I came to Jesus and just gave it all to Him, God opened my eyes to see my life through His eyes and I just felt so blessed because despite being unemployed for many years I still had food in my stomach everyday, clothes on my back and a roof over my head, God has provided for me and I didn’t even notice that. I’m still unemployed and waiting but now I wait differently because I put my hope and trust in Gods perfect timing. God knows what we need and in Him we will not lack anything, where we are now is exactly where He wants us to be ❤
Thank you Deborah for sharing this video! We have to really wake up!
Thank you 🙏 ❤
My pastor said the same thing last week, wake up! Stop the spiritual slumber. God is good!
THIS!!! Our God is such a good and on-time God even when disciplining and correcting us for our good and His glory!
May His Spirit strengthen us to obey.
Thank Debs for your faithfulness to our good good Father. 🫶🏽🙏🏾
I’m actually speechless rn! I just opened UA-cam and I see your video on the exact topic I have problems with in the last 3 weeks. Unbelievable! Thank you!!
Look at God!! He’s so so intentional. He knows exactly what you need when you need it. May he strengthen you on your journey with him 💪🏽🤍 he’s right beside you sis!
@@deborahbx_ 🥹💛
i am 14 and this is really such a wake up call thank you so muchhhh. I was always sitting there wondering why i seemed so deppressed and distant and disinterested but your video has truly opened my eyes, you are truly a work of God.
So grateful the Lord placed this topic on your heart to discuss. I really needed to hear this message. Have a blessed week! ❤
I REALLY needed this message! Daydreaming is distracting me! Thank you Deborah for this wake up call! 💜💜
DEBORAH YES 😭❤❤❤ for a while ive been asking God to help me with the daydreaming, and then a couple weeks ago i saw a video from this channel called faiths consecrated space about maladaptive daydreaming/ fantasy (check it out!! Its amazing) and it really made me shape up. The effects kinda wore off a bit tho 😅 and then i saw this!! Im trying, its difficult (ive been trusting God for good friends in my school, and especislly christian friends) and ive been through this for YEARS 😭 but one of my favourite friends (we're online friends) told me about gratitude concerning this and ive been so much happier recently 😊 plus God is our strength and gives us grace!! i pray that God will strengthen us all in Jesus's name!!
Thank you so much for the work you do. The phone this is also so very true 😂 im gonna try and reduce my screen time lol
Wow! I saw the same video pop up on my page! I didn’t watch it out of fear but now I’m going to watch it, I saved it to my watch later list.
Hi Deborah 🙂
I don't want the enemy in my life. I went to church ⛪️ this morning. Now I'm watching Christian UA-cam channels like yours (of course). Your Faith Talks are a highlight of the week. 🙏
So sorry that you had a tough week❤ I'll pray that this new week is better, but even if it's not better I pray that Christ will lighten the burden and equip you to handle it with grace❤love the TV analogy as it's something I'm struggling with! We truly need to be more disciplined and intentional with our actions. Amen!
Amen, thank you so much for your prayer and kind words sis 🥹🤍These days we all struggle with distractions 😭 but I pray God’s strength over ever single one of us, that through his power we will stand victorious in resisting the distractions and temptations the enemy lays before us! Jesus is with you every single day
AMEN SISTER🙌🏾. Shared with my coworker who is struggling in so many areas. I am going to keep lifting her up and sharing messages like this to strengthen her. Thank you so much Deborah for sharing about your mom. I pray that your mom gets her fight back in Jesus name and that she does not accept satan's packages...RETURN TO SENDER!!!
Thank you for sharing this message! I’ve always struggled with daydreaming and fantasizing, especially about things/situations in my life that aren’t as I hoped they would be. I’ve had moments and periods of time where by the grace of God and the Holy Spirit I’ve overcome those fantasies but the last several months I’ve definitely been asleep and let this overtake in my life again.
So good ❤Thank you Deborah
AMENNNN! 🙏🏿 this message was beyond powerful and I’m so glad I clicked on it first 🤍
Thank you sister in Christ! The spiritual warfare has been rough but God has been good through it all so this reminder was on time🤍 praying you have a week full of growth, blessing and peace.
Amen 🤍🤍 same to you sis!
Thank you Deborah this is such a timely message.✨
This is what I need this year....... Praise God that your content is something we find ourselves relating to at the point when you release it 🙏
Thank you Deborah, beautiful message, we need to pray pray pray. Lord will hear us, Amen
Amen!! 💪🏽🤍
Fantasizing and daydreaming isn’t wrong it’s the start of knowing what you want in life in order to work towards it. You can realize when you’re comparing and change your perspective to be grateful for where you’re at and still work towards better.
This is the one, I recently learned about this being such a huge stronghold in my life. It’s a calling for sure and I’m more than blessed to be here to listen to you. Such a blessing opportunity I thank you and pray over your life in the name of the Holy Spirit. May he continue to bless his children. Thank you for your prayer as well❤
This week started off not bad. But not so good towards the end, all because of a guy and my mind. It's been very difficult. This video was perfect timing!
Debby! I'm keeping you in my prayers. Your short form word on this topic on ig really helped me. It was something I've struggled with for years to cope with life not going my way and depression. Love the content and love you. Fr fr tho i wasnt just saying i pray for you everyday. I really do be doing that.😅 Thank God i found you and your channel. Hope this is your best year yet.
Thank you so much sis 🥹🤍 I really appreciate your prayers and kind words! I know the struggle with the fantasizing. It’s so hard to let go of, but God has sooo much more for you. The bible says it in Ephesians 3:20, what he has for you is 1000 better than what you you’re fantasising about right now. So you’re safe to let it go 🤍 May our heavenly dad encourage you and fill you with him. You won’t even think about fantasising soon in Jesus name!!
This is what I need to hear! Thankyou Debora please keep spreading words from God. I've been struggling with maladaptive daydreaming for years and made my reality life more bad. I've been procrastinate and sleeping so long that I feel like my body was there but my mind always going anywhere. I keep wasting time. I'm not feeling like living in the present. I know it's wrong and I've been struggling with it but it so hard to get outta that hole, I even feel like these thing is just part of my life that I even thinking if I'm not daydream for one day then I wouldn't be alive. Everytime I pray or doing my devotional time then the next day I keep falling again with this kind of sin, the life I was expecting or dreaming. These past weeks is one of my downfall, I hate my life and even myself, i hate everything about me. I always say I'm a failure because everything I do wasn't going the way I wanted/expecting it to be. I really wanna get out of this sin, and I'm still struggling till this day but I want to comment here and back to this video when I want to daydreaming, is there any tips to not keep falling and please pray for me. Thankyou so much Debora may God bless u. I'm sorry for my bad english anyway🙏🏻
Wow, I was literally just talking to God about this and I opened up UA-cam and this was the first video. This really spoke to me and I choose to get up and fight back in Jesus name!!
Gurl I was taking notes like my Spiritual Life depended on it.!!! Ahhhhh Yasssss! God had you speaking nothing but truth. Yes the Spiritual attachs was hitting me hard too last week. Especially mentally. I have never been close with my mother either. We have talked and laughed together. She is in her 70's. I love her. Im grateful she is still alive and in good health. There has definitely been a rift between us these pass few years and she acts like nothing is wrong. It has been painful but. Like david said when my mother and father forsake me the LORD will receive me. I have forgiven her. She has done some bad things too me but glory to God im not bitter. He's making me better. YES ITS PRUNING SEASON. LIKE THE SONG SAYS AFTER THIS IM GOING TO LOOK MORE LIKE JESUS. MORE ANOINTING, AUTHORITY, AND POWER. AFTER THIS.... I LOVE THAT SONG. I LOVE IT. I FEEL SO ENCOURAGING BY THIS MESSAGE. KEEP EM COMING
POWERFUL MESSAGE!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Distraction has been real for me too. Love all of you brothers and sisters in Jesus❤
I promise you that majority of the videos you post is directed to something personal in my life. God is definitely giving me a message through your videos!!
Deborah, this was a powerful and beautiful message! I pray that God continues to fill you with an abundance of zeal and passion for Him and His word so that you can continue to bless us. It is truly a blessing to be filled with God’s word with and through someone who clearly loves the Lord with all her heart and soul. Thank you for being an amazing blessing! ~Michelle E.
Debby! You are always right on time!!! God bless you always ❤
I was in this situation heavily in the past last months of 2023. Emphasizing on "heavily". To the point that God is calling me out to it, and even helping me get out of that, that whenever I did that, verses cruising to my mind or worship songs and immediately even forgetting what I was daydreaming about. But I said NO for a lot of times and even have a self to self talk 😂 "what are you doing?" "God is already giving you a way out". But yeah, I said NO to that call out. Oh, boy. However, it got so heavy that even when I was studying the Bible, those daydreaming popping out of nowhere. That's where my, "Ah, this needs to stop." And I praise God that I've been delivered and haven't been doing this at all for quite some time now. ❤
Holy spirit lead ,thank you for your confirmation and always being obedient to the holy spirit ❤❤❤❤
Wow, this video is perfectly timed! I just prayed about this topic and as soon as I open youtube I see this video. God is good.🔥🙏🏾
He knows exactly what you need when you need it!! 🥹🤍 he’s a good good father!
Thank you for this wake up call god bless you
I love your channel, Deborah! You deserve more followers.❤
This was so on time. I had goals, things I wanted to achieve and I really thought I was on the right path. But exactly on Valentine's Day my world came crashing down. Things I thought were a skip away suddenly no longer feel attainable. The spiritual warfare has been crazy this month. But I have hope. Thank you for this message ❤
Amen this has waken me up ima keep kncoking on the Lords door and to focus on him may God bless you and keep you in Jesus name amen!
Fantasizing has become an idol 😩 thank you for this reminder sis
My week to be honest was tough and i was been attacked in every corner by this spiritual warefares
but i prayed to GOD and it really helped, i refuse to late the devil/the enemy take control IN JESUS NAME AMEN🙏🙏
Thanks for this Debz GOD BLESS YOU❤❤
Thank you so much, may God bless you!!! 🙏🏾💯✝️❤
Hi Deborah, your Faith Talks topic today speaks to the importance of discipline! Staying focused with a goal in mind. Which is letting God order your steps and you submitting to His will, daily! As you stated; prayer, fasting, reading and DOING God's holy Word helps foster a discipline life in God. If you ever get fuzzy and a short memory about that, just remind yourself of your testimony and what Jesus did for you. If that doesn't help then you might be in more trouble than you know! God bless you Deborah, and thank you for another God inspired video 😊
In my morning prayer of today I have been led to Matthew 24v 18. The chapter is about the return of JESUS. Yeah I needed and every day will need this especially in these days🙏🏼
God bless you.
Follower from Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa❤

Thank you for your Purity, Obedience, & Faithfulness Deb. Awesome word ❤
I needed this message. This is the Holy Spirit speaking straight through you, God bless you
I Love your videos, your intro, your style and so on. Thank you so much ❤❤❤ greetings from Germany.
Powerful message, great analogy of folks on phones, watching TV and just plain ole distractions! On point for sure...hit home. Yeah, the fam is growing. January is almost in the books, bring on February!!♒❣️✨
I've found myself bowing down to "rest". I'd rather relax than be in the word, I just want to sleep often. I'm asleep in both the physical and the spiritual. It's insane. It stops now! Thank you for this video.❤
Ahh, I have been trying to avoid this but thank you for convicting me!
It’s tough to face these things 😞 but God wants to do so much in your life and things like this definitely hold us back! May the Lord walk you into all that he has for you sis leaving these things behind 🤍
SO GOOD!! Come on Holy Spirit!!
Amen. Amen. This message really is a gift from GOD. Thank you for allowing GOD to use you as a instrument to help his children
Great Message! Thank you for the prayer. I am so sorry about your mum, I pray for her during this time. Amen. My mum just turned 65 and I am so grateful for her life. She is still in high spirits, shares prayers with me every day and still acts like she is 25 in spirit. Life is for living. May this week bring you joy today and always. Amen
Praise the Lord! Spot on as always
Thank you, Jesus, for your timely word.
Thank you. ❤✝️
My mother and I also don’t have a close relationship and she is also giving up and closing off because of her mental health. I pray for her often. Thank you for this!
Timely as always 🙏🏾. Spent the past few weeks being "asleep" and feeding myself with distractions. For the first time in weeks, I heard God's voice say "I miss you" 😢💔, then i stumbled upon your video. Thanks for the reminder 🤍 I'm awake, Lord!
I love your channel, I have to watch it now and then. it's peaceful and honest
Ever since I realised this maladaptive daydreaming thing was really a madness in my daily life i've seen videos on it spring up like wildfire....and now you-im listening. 🥲God give all of us going through this, s t r e n g t h.❤
