I came to that point of absolutely hating it and saying enough is enough. Thats when God can work. May God make you bold as a lion. This too shall pass. Stay blessed!
Amen, may the Spirit of God come and take control and drive that spirit of Shyness away and fill you with Boldness to do what the Lord wants you to do on this Earth my dear.
Thank you for this video. I'm so shy I feel awkward, I freeze up in certain situations. I will ask yah to help me with this and I know he will because he is able.
I can relate so much🥺. Growing up I was so shy and didn’t know to act in social situations and ppl just thought I was rude but really deep down I had and still have social anxiety and I’ve been praying about it, we will overcome it in Jesus name 🙏🏾❤️
Yeah I’m so shy and get annoyed when people overstep asking me personal questions which happens a lot in church. Which causes me to even shy away more..
I also find that shyness could be heavily chained to an extreme forms of laziness, sluggishness, oversleep, being afraid to face life, self pity. It's a very horrible experience to be in. I m talking from experience. Thank u so much for sharing this.
For me i found Laziness comes on me when i rest in worldly comforts and work for worldly things and instead rest in the Lord and do all work onto the Lord
angelyn cortes That’s goodd I’m still working in it I know that it takes time I just wanna tell people in streets for Lord but my shyness just stoped me😔
You're so gorgeous and I love this video. I used to struggle with this too, but I quickly realized that God can seriously help us over come that mindset. Now I'm still introverted, but no longer shy. Such a huge difference.
I relate, went through this exactly. In extreme cases, it is a spirit and also works with fear, low self-esteem and rejection is the root. look in the Bible at what Tamar said to her brother about how evil rejection is. Also, it's important to grow out of your comfort zone yet keep your joy, peace and sincerity and allow the moments of boldness be from God. The Lord changed me from this, merci mille fois
I was just crying over social anxiety and was saying to myself I wish God would come down and tell me how to overcome it and as I finished that sentence this video was recommended to me
I struggle with this so much. I am a worshiper at heart but I'm too scared to give God all of me. I worry about how people will see me if I were to be the passionate person I imagine myself to be.
Sister i am here because last night i cried to God for my shyness,fear,anxiety.i am so tired.i am student of music.i know God wants me to sing properly but i can't for my fear and shyness but i have good voice.everyone tell me i have really good voice.i pray everyday but i feel really tired inside me when i can't sing.but i strongly believe in Jesus now.i don't want to be afraid.i understand i have bad spirits from my childhood. I am lazy too.i am trying to reduce laziness.i was so introvert but now i am not like that.but i have really bad problems.i want to sing,i want joy in my heart,i want to live like a brave women.Thank you so much sister for your testimony❤️
Im soooooo shy, since I was a little girl, i don’t know why. I’m also sensitive, emotional.. like I cry about everything and if I see someone else crying I start crying too. I do ask God to deliver me! Please pray from me and All those shy people put there
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am having a problem too. I am so shy, I can't even say what i wanted to say and make a close friend. Shyness is killing me and am really sick of this. When I see people who worship idolatry, having no fear but boldness, so many things always comes on my mind. Why am so shy when my god is the living god. Whoever seeing this please pray for me. God can only heal me.
I've struggled with being shy for so long and I'm sick of it! It has prevented me from serving God to the best of my ability. This video has really helped me and I will continue to pray to God so that I can overcome this. Thank you!
Oh thank you sister i felt alone but i see that i am not the only one everyone is so negative around me and towards me its difficult but i will keep praying and keep seeking Jesus.
I'm shy... I become shy especially when I'm around people because of my height. I am taller than most of my friends this tears me down sometimes I ask myself like why am I taller than others. I could sometimes not like to associate myself with other people because the first impression they would give me is like......your so tallll. I didn't like it. I wanted to be normal short or medium height like my friends. I came to realise that God knows me by name and He intended for me to be like this if people don't like me this way it's ok maybe we were never meant to be friends.... God has shown me something magnificent that he didn't give me a spirit of fear but of love and sound mind. Be encouraged in Christ I know he loves me and will always give me strength. Thank you Lord
I've also always been taller then my friends. I'm 5'10. Used to hear everyday how tall I was, and also wished to be not so tall. But now I love it, it's how God wanted it and thats just perfect. Be encouraged
This exposes shyness as a spirit because from my experience, I was shorter than my upper class school peers because of different socio-economic environments that I hailed from, and that stuck out like a sore thumb and caused shyness/ embarrassment in me. So it's not just being taller but it's whatever that looks different about oneself that the enemy accentuates negatively for the purpose of putting individuals' down in daily life. So he could use anything!
Wow! You are simply gorgeous! I understand why satans plan was to keep u shy and quiet, your a very virtuous woman and he knew he would have to shut u down to keep u from helping all of us get over the shyness, so we can be be used by God to witness to other's, U have to be outgoing AND fearless to talk to people about the gospel. You should be so proud of yourself it isn't easy, my mom/family cursed me by using word's- as a small child if I didn't answer fast enough they said I was very very shy and it only made it worse from there on out. I renounce& BIND that spirit of shyness/awkwardness in Jesus name! And loose spirits of courage bravery to become outspoken extrovert and confidence in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
same here ...my mom told me when I was 4 years old I will hide myself from people,and I keep myself isolated from people because I feel people are judging me all the time I was so full of fear I had panic attacks EVERY day! I got tired of it And ask God to take this fear out of me its been With me since I was 4 , I need deliverance very much. !
Thank you for sharing, I can really relate to this as I have been a shy person since I can remember and really still are now. It's a really sad way to be, as often people would mistake my shyness as arrogance, but they just don't understand the battle inside that take place within me in order to pluck up enough courage to speak or greet people in room full of people I don't. I believing God for victory over this, keep me your prayers. God bless.
the worlds full of judges, i know i'm one of them :/ i try not to be as i know the lord doesn't want that. but as i've lived a pretty deceitful way and have lost most things folks enjoy, friends family, financial stability and has left me bitter. can't even go into a restaurant. spent a long time dancing to the devils tune and it's an elaborate one. anyways just recently i turned back to the lord and one day outback as i don't trust myself, my mind or my dreams. he showed me he was listening when i saw a pure white dove fly from right to left past me as i finished speaking to him. Later that night i asked him to remove the burden of smoking from me as i had a severe addiction (17yrs)the next morning my burden was entirely gone and i live in a house full of smokers. Thank you lord. You're blessed to be able to hear him. i think my personal reception might be broken or my hearts just to weary due to the large scale deceit i fell into. Anyways God Bless you and all those who read this
Lucian Demarco Hi brother, God loves you so much. No one is beyond redemption, no sin no deceit is too big for God to forgive. One encounter with Jesus can change your entire life. Today take a moment to go before the Lord and ask Him to bring you back to His feet, back to that secret place, that place where you can hear Him. I promise You He will if you go before Him with a sincere heart. Stay blessed!
Shyness is also known as being an intervert. I've been this way all my life and I don't feel like I can overcome this on my own Lord knows I've really tried. I feel so helpless.
Wow! Your story reminds me so much of my own. As a child I would cling to my mother at parties too and people would ask me if I have a voice since I was so quiet. I’m older now so not nearly as shy as I used to be but I still can be at times and it has also gotten in the way of many opportunities for me too and of me using my gifts. I recently told a friend I don’t think I’m shy deep inside because I know how much of a desire I have to “join in” but always feel like it’s something holding me back telling me I’m not good enough or what I want to contribute isn’t enough or I’ll look stupid. I’ve realized it’s definitely “something” having a hold on me but never realized until now that it’s a spirit who wants to prevent me from being who I truly am in Christ! I will try these things and be confident that they will work for me. I’m glad you’ve been delivered and thanks for sharing your story!
Let me tell you, sis..I was a model. Signed with a big agent in NY city. Was a cover girl. Did commercials and more. It was a miserable life full of stress, phonies and back stabbing. Yes, I made money but it wasn't worth it. I used to be shy as a child too. God delivered me. Now I'm a 3 times published author and public speaker! God is able.
I used to watched ur sister nd while I was watching her shw mentioned ur name and I saw u nd I can say I'm blessed! MAY GOD BE WITH YOU IN EVERYTHING U're DOING! u're GUYS are doing an amazing work ! KEEP ON DOING IT! There'll be some hard day but never ever give up ! THERE's NO BLESSING WITHOUT BURDEN!
Amen sis. What you said is very true.. shyness has no place in the kingdom of God. Whatever oppertunity you missed, God will restore it back to you in Jesus name! I agree on that being open/outspoken/loud can open a lot of doors. But being overly social can also kill you. There needs to be a balance. As I am also Ghanian I experience that many times African parents/familymembers in a way also pamper this shyness/quietness or whatever by not bringing their kids to kindergarten (the child doesn't get the chance to develop/learn social skills), They always want you at home (Your not interacting with other children/exploring yourself etc.), also you have the words they use at home (not all, some of them) they insult their children or speak negative words that isn't uplifting either. They don't encourage their children to do activities at school etc. And if you play outside too much your a "bad child". This is just stupidity on the highest order. 😅 You think here in Europe you only have African people/upbringing. Now that I'm almost in my thirties.. I really see that being in your comfortzone is not good at all if it be in a dead relationship,careerwise, friends or family wise. You cannot be a great person if you don't want to grow. You can't inspire people if you remain in your comfortzone and also God can't use you. Stay blessed, amen. 😘
Thank You Ophilia for being God's vessel, I am extremely shy & it is a heavy chain that follows me around. I have recently stepped out of my comfort zone. But the discomfort and fear, nervousness & panic is so bad. I can relate to the fear of your mother leaving you, OMG I still have it. Shyness also has a horrible spirit of embarrassment
Bless you Tamara, I make it sound easy but I know it's really not. It a very hard proces and at times you will still feel discomfort and nervous, it's all part of it. But just push through and you'll get at a point where that even will leave. Praying for you ❤️
God bless you my sister, God is also delivering me from this.. sometimes I'm getting shy and nervous for no reason.. I know.. that this is not me.. and now I'm start learning to see myself through the eyes of God.. sometimes it's difficult because I know the enemy is saying me other things.. but Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.. He values me and everyone else who is dealing with this. And He will help us out just as He has helped you.. Thank you for sharing your testimony🙏🏿❤️
I'm too shy I want to talk to people about Bible and God but I can't.I want to talk to people make friends but I can't I just can't open my mouth. it's horrible
I dont even laugh or speak up in my own room.. I feel shy just to laugh. All i say to my family is a yes or no, or just a simple question.. I cant tell them storys or whatever's on my mind. I can only speak through txting them..
It should start with changing your name. And stop watching dark things. You want light. The The Word of God is the glorious light of the Gospel that shines forth through our minds. 2 Cor 4:4. How is everything now?
Your words of encouragement touched my heart ❤️ thank you...I lost hope in myself and shyness has made me afraid of being around people or even going out and it stopped me from going to church...God bless you!!!
Thank you for this video... I can relate to this on so many levels... I've gotten a lot better than I was growing up but I still deal with social anxiety, awkwardness, and shyness. It's so much I want to do for God that requires me to talk to other people I'm just tired of allowing this to hold me back.
I love your testimony. This is me. And your right when you said, you can't be shy and serve God. There needs to be boldness. I used cry out to God to take shyness away from me, and still prayering about. It's really hard for me because not only I'm I shy but I also stuttered. So for me to even try to speak, it's a serious battle.
This is the first time I’ve ever commented on UA-cam and I’ve had this account since 2010 lol. Thank you for helping me see that shyness keeps me for serving God. Stay Blessed. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV
Omg thank you for sharing I thought I was alone. I am so shy and it is so annoying. I prayed. Fast request prayers about this situation. I believe that the Lord will deliver me. I believe that he is working on the root of this situation.
This has been one of the most helpful videos I've come across on youtube. God knows how much i struggle with this shyness. It has made me missed so many opportunities on making friends, improving, etc. You are truly an inspiration to many of us thx😊
IvSuffer from shyness and Anxiety, I wasted most of my life hiding, from People, didn't want to be around anyone, now I want to be delivered from this spirit and go on with my life free from shyness
Oh yesssssss! This has always been me. And the dreaded moments when people point out how quiet you are! Ugh! How many times I left social settings and cried after leaving wishing and praying I wasn't so full of shyness and fear. The guilt that would come because I knew I had things to say, yet held back. Missed opportunities.😔 But God! It's been a process, but God has been been changing me and showing me how to be confident in who He created me to be. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and a sound mind❤️ and... Perfect love casts out All fear ❤️
Wow! Thank you so much for your testimony❤️! This has blessed and encouraged me. I’ve been struggling with shyness and it’s been impacting the gift that God gave me. I pray that God delivers me from it!
Thanks for sharing... I too am generally shy.. I often get out my comfort zone and get infront crowds when asked to in church etc.. I do it for God, however up to today im not comfortable doing it. However I realize others are blessed and it fives me motivation to continue... Thanks for sharing your story.
My anxiety and shyness has blocked alot of my blessings ... Job interviews scared me I would always be afraid before hand that I'm gonna blow it and don't know what to say ... And I go with severe anxiety and don't get called back because my anxiety would have my heart racing during this interview and I'd just forget everything and don't know how to answer questions ... I'm believing God for a deliverance to free me from all these strongholds in my life ... It's really alot .. your video is very annointed it really gave me hope deep down inside .. God bless you ❤
I just watched your video tonight and I fell in love you because you are me, I am you😩😩 everything you're saying is me... and you're helping me so much ❤️
Wauw, ik dank God voor je gegtuigenis het heeft me weer kracht gegeven om uit me comfortzone te stappen , het heeft iets in mij doen losbreken. GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH!!!❤❤

God Bless you for this video it helped me to acknowledge this problem
Hi dear bless you. I pray for you that you may allow the Spirit to do what He wants to do through you. If you keep in mind that what you are experiencing at that moment is greater then what anyone could say things will be so much easier ❤️
I like this guy and cant come out and talk like i want to to him i backed out of a date with him i been celibate for 6yrs i thought id freeze and not know what to say i say things in text that I cant say to him directly and im tired of it being a burden on my spirit Please pray for me id make excuses for it and id use my pass experiences to back out of planned dates now i will pray as you are saying i pray He will Increase your territory your video is a Blessing keep. Doin them.😍
God you will deliver us all from this wicked spirit. In jesus name i pray Amen. We are bold for you Lord. Holy spirit lead us your servants to walk fearlessly like you Lord. Fear be gone in jesus name i pray AMEN
I accidentally clicked on this video, but I'm glad I did! I really struggled with selective mutism when i was younger and still struggle with social anxiety. But this was truly encouraging and its amazing how God works!
Thank you For your testimony because I Am struggling with this particular shyness and hearing that you overcome it give me Hope that I can overcomed too
Shyness is miserable! I’m done with shyness! I’ll no longer hold back when I have a word for someone. No more will the enemy have his way! Goodbye shyness!
Thank you for this video Ophilia. I didn’t know that fear was a spirit. I will pray and take all your advice to overcome it and give my testimony to the glory of God. Sending peace and love to you. Awurade Enshira Wu 🙏🏿
Thank you so muucchh😖😭❤ i barley figured out i was shy because my boyfriend mentioned to my church sis that why i don't talk and he said because she is shy so he asked her and her bother and sis that if they see me alone to come up and talk to me. I tend to stay alone and i be telling myself inside go talk to people but i start doubting myself O they walk away and im awkward.
That was very encouraging to hear, I used to be so extremely shy as well. I am so amazed at what God has done in my life. This summer I will be on the summer staff team at a local Bible Camp. I will be a counselor instead of the little shy girl in the cabin. Praise God!
I’m so glad I discovered your video. I’m going through a great deal of shyness right now, and I agree with everything you said. I feel God has really shown me the truth about shyness through your video, so thank you, and thanks to God.
Shyness lead to low self esteem and years of bullying.It's a weakness that people prey on and I had to change. Now, I am no longer shy but I am a misanthrope.I suffer from social anxiety and I avoid idle conversation.
THIS TOPIC IS SOMETHING THAT MANY AVOID AND ITS VERY IMPORTANT THANK YOU FOR THAT AND YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL THERE'S NOTHING SO AMAZING AND GOLDEN LIKE A WOMAN IN CHRIST
Can someone please pray for me. I want to delivered from this shyness. I want to use my gift of singing for the Lord but my shyness is a barrier right now. In the name of Jesus I get rid of this right now.
I been suffering from shyness for so long and I been praying and praying about it for years and I still suffer from it! Im so shy that im afraid to go on stage and sing for Jesus and this is not good because I wanna sing to Jesus on stage 😩😩😩
I'm so sorry to hear, I was once there and can you believe that I'm now a worshipleader. God is able to do it. Trust more in Gods ability than your own. Take a bold step of faith and see God favoring you
you have some much things within you but you can't express yourself. Its one of the hardest things ever. It can really kill you. " It really feels painful. I dealt with this a whole lot but never really acknowledged it.
I am struggling with social anxiety and shyness. Mine is so bad that even my friends know about it, its affecting all areas of my life. I'm a chorister in teens church and most times I find it difficult to lead praise and worship... JUST BECAUSE I'M SHY. I have lived with it all my life and its really making me unhappy... Pls need your prayers. Thanks.
Hi Opeyemi, I went through this. My passion has always been worshipping. Now I lead praise and worship and also translate in church without fear. It wasn't easy getting there but if God can do it for me, He will surely do it for you. I pray for you today that God will make you bold as a lion. I come against any spirit of fear in your life in the name of Jesus Son of the Living God. May the Spirit of God which is the Spirit of power and a sound mind rest upon you, Amen. Stay blessed 💕
I stumbled across this video and I love u for it lbs!! Praise God! Im overcoming the shyness!!! I know this won't be forever🙌🏿🙌🏿 I remember one time in high school I had to present my homework to my class omg 😂😂😂 I WAS NOT COMING TO SCHOOL THAT DAY ...ALL BECAUSE I WAS SCARED IF SPEAKING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE AND I RATHER BE LOWKEY....OMG I BUILT UP THE COURAGE N SAID THAT WILL BE SUCH COWARDNESS JUST TO NOT GO LOL.... I DID IT ANYWAYS OMG. I REMEMBER BEING PROUD OF MYSELF INSIDE LIKE I DID IT... THAT SURE WAS A STEP OF FAITH...😂🙌🏿☺️ I wanted a good grade so I just did it... Before she called on me I was in the chair just shaking preparing myself like omg omg ... I wonder if my class heard the nervousness in my voice. Oh boy.. Probably not.... I covered it up so good. 😂😂 and was ready for it to be over.... I was not even explaining my work I was just reading through ... Lol but yes sis this a good video!!!🙌🏿❤️
I cry to God sm to deliver me from this shyness, I hate being shy sm, I don't want to be awkward and fear, I want to be outgoing
I came to that point of absolutely hating it and saying enough is enough. Thats when God can work. May God make you bold as a lion. This too shall pass. Stay blessed!
Amen, may the Spirit of God come and take control and drive that spirit of Shyness away and fill you with Boldness to do what the Lord wants you to do on this Earth my dear.
Thank you for this video. I'm so shy I feel awkward, I freeze up in certain situations. I will ask yah to help me with this and I know he will because he is able.
I can relate so much🥺. Growing up I was so shy and didn’t know to act in social situations and ppl just thought I was rude but really deep down I had and still have social anxiety and I’ve been praying about it, we will overcome it in Jesus name 🙏🏾❤️
Yeah I’m so shy and get annoyed when people overstep asking me personal questions which happens a lot in church. Which causes me to even shy away more..
I suffer from shyness/anxiety/awkwardness. I destroyed most of my life. I want to get delivered from these evil spirits.
Me too ...
I also find that shyness could be heavily chained to an extreme forms of laziness, sluggishness, oversleep, being afraid to face life, self pity. It's a very horrible experience to be in. I m talking from experience. Thank u so much for sharing this.
True
Took the words out of my mouth sadly i still struggle from all of this
It could be from rejection as well
It’s not laziness. It’s a mental thing.
For me i found Laziness comes on me when i rest in worldly comforts and work for worldly things and instead rest in the Lord and do all work onto the Lord
I feel ashamed of God because of my shyness. I feel like i cant do what God has called me. Please pray for me. Thanks.
Are you any better today?
😲 Gurl me too!!!
Kameisha Laneise dame here I wanna tell people for Lord but I’m too shyyy😔
Hello guys, I'm actually getting better. I have tried to to teach in Sunday school with God's grace.
angelyn cortes That’s goodd I’m still working in it I know that it takes time I just wanna tell people in streets for Lord but my shyness just stoped me😔
You're so gorgeous and I love this video. I used to struggle with this too, but I quickly realized that God can seriously help us over come that mindset. Now I'm still introverted, but no longer shy. Such a huge difference.
Fatima Thank you so much sis. Amen! God is a great deliverer. It's amazing to live without the chains of fear!💕
@@OphiliaMansoh amen.
I relate, went through this exactly. In extreme cases, it is a spirit and also works with fear, low self-esteem and rejection is the root. look in the Bible at what Tamar said to her brother about how evil rejection is.

Very true. God bless you!
gotellhismercy thank you so much for your comment! I looked into rejection and my world has changed
gotellhismercy Hello, I know this is a long time ago but can you explain what you really mean with rejection? :)
I was just crying over social anxiety and was saying to myself I wish God would come down and tell me how to overcome it and as I finished that sentence this video was recommended to me
Praise God 🙌🏾
how are you doing now?
I struggle with this so much. I am a worshiper at heart but I'm too scared to give God all of me. I worry about how people will see me if I were to be the passionate person I imagine myself to be.
Wow same 😩 i do in private tho

Same here me too because I dont talk alot ppl underestimate me
I'm shy... I become shy especially when I'm around people because of my height. I am taller than most of my friends this tears me down sometimes I ask myself like why am I taller than others. I could sometimes not like to associate myself with other people because the first impression they would give me is like......your so tallll. I didn't like it. I wanted to be normal short or medium height like my friends. I came to realise that God knows me by name and He intended for me to be like this if people don't like me this way it's ok maybe we were never meant to be friends....

who on earth could ever dislike this?!

same here ...my mom told me when I was 4 years old I will hide myself from people,and I keep myself isolated from people because I feel people are judging
me all the time I was so full of fear I had panic attacks EVERY day!
I got tired of it And ask God to take this fear out of me its been With me since I was 4 , I need deliverance very much.
!
God is a deliverer and I believe He will do just that. Will be praying for you ❤️

the worlds full of judges, i know i'm one of them :/ i try not to be as i know the lord doesn't want that. but as i've lived a pretty deceitful way and have lost most things folks enjoy, friends family, financial stability and has left me bitter. can't even go into a restaurant. spent a long time dancing to the devils tune and it's an elaborate one. anyways just recently i turned back to the lord and one day outback as i don't trust myself, my mind or my dreams. he showed me he was listening when i saw a pure white dove fly from right to left past me as i finished speaking to him. Later that night i asked him to remove the burden of smoking from me as i had a severe addiction (17yrs)the next morning my burden was entirely gone and i live in a house full of smokers. Thank you lord. You're blessed to be able to hear him. i think my personal reception might be broken or my hearts just to weary due to the large scale deceit i fell into. Anyways God Bless you and all those who read this
Lucian Demarco Hi brother, God loves you so much. No one is beyond redemption, no sin no deceit is too big for God to forgive. One encounter with Jesus can change your entire life. Today take a moment to go before the Lord and ask Him to bring you back to His feet, back to that secret place, that place where you can hear Him. I promise You He will if you go before Him with a sincere heart. Stay blessed!
Shyness is just Self-Doubt. Be proud of yourself, instead!!!!
I needed this video.. Having this shyness problem too.
Will pray for you. Keep proclaiming the Word of God over yourself. You have a spirit of POWER and A SOUND MIND. You are blessed!
thanks darling and Amen.
Shyness is also known as being an intervert. I've been this way all my life and I don't feel like I can overcome this on my own Lord knows I've really tried. I feel so helpless.
You need to take a risk if you ever want to overcome your shyness. You need to step out of your comfort zone in order to break your comfort zone
No, introverts don't fear social interaction like shy people.They simply enjoy and prefer to be alone.
Wow! Your story reminds me so much of my own. As a child I would cling to my mother at parties too and people would ask me if I have a voice since I was so quiet. I’m older now so not nearly as shy as I used to be but I still can be at times and it has also gotten in the way of many opportunities for me too and of me using my gifts. I recently told a friend I don’t think I’m shy deep inside because I know how much of a desire I have to “join in” but always feel like it’s something holding me back telling me I’m not good enough or what I want to contribute isn’t enough or I’ll look stupid. I’ve realized it’s definitely “something” having a hold on me but never realized until now that it’s a spirit who wants to prevent me from being who I truly am in Christ! I will try these things and be confident that they will work for me. I’m glad you’ve been delivered and thanks for sharing your story!
Let me tell you, sis..I was a model. Signed with a big agent in NY city. Was a cover girl. Did commercials and more. It was a miserable life full of stress, phonies and back stabbing. Yes, I made money but it wasn't worth it. I used to be shy as a child too. God delivered me. Now I'm a 3 times published author and public speaker! God is able.
I used to watched ur sister nd while I was watching her shw mentioned ur name and I saw u nd I can say I'm blessed! MAY GOD BE WITH YOU IN EVERYTHING U're DOING! u're GUYS are doing an amazing work ! KEEP ON DOING IT! There'll be some hard day but never ever give up ! THERE's NO BLESSING WITHOUT BURDEN!
Amen sis. What you said is very true.. shyness has no place in the kingdom of God. Whatever oppertunity you missed, God will restore it back to you in Jesus name! I agree on that being open/outspoken/loud can open a lot of doors. But being overly social can also kill you. There needs to be a balance. As I am also Ghanian I experience that many times African parents/familymembers in a way also pamper this shyness/quietness or whatever by not bringing their kids to kindergarten (the child doesn't get the chance to develop/learn social skills), They always want you at home (Your not interacting with other children/exploring yourself etc.), also you have the words they use at home (not all, some of them) they insult their children or speak negative words that isn't uplifting either. They don't encourage their children to do activities at school etc. And if you play outside too much your a "bad child". This is just stupidity on the highest order. 😅 You think here in Europe you only have African people/upbringing. Now that I'm almost in my thirties.. I really see that being in your comfortzone is not good at all if it be in a dead relationship,careerwise, friends or family wise. You cannot be a great person if you don't want to grow. You can't inspire people if you remain in your comfortzone and also God can't use you. Stay blessed, amen. 😘
I am terribly shy and I blush like crazy which makes things worse but this video gives me hope I will stop being shy god bles you 💕🌻
Im the same way
Thank You Ophilia for being God's vessel, I am extremely shy & it is a heavy chain that follows me around. I have recently stepped out of my comfort zone. But the discomfort and fear, nervousness & panic is so bad. I can relate to the fear of your mother leaving you, OMG I still have it. Shyness also has a horrible spirit of embarrassment
Bless you Tamara, I make it sound easy but I know it's really not. It a very hard proces and at times you will still feel discomfort and nervous, it's all part of it. But just push through and you'll get at a point where that even will leave. Praying for you ❤️
Thanx Ophilia for your prayers I can feel them, & I'm getting better but it's a daily process that's not easy. Blessings Ophilia
God bless you my sister, God is also delivering me from this.. sometimes I'm getting shy and nervous for no reason.. I know.. that this is not me.. and now I'm start learning to see myself through the eyes of God.. sometimes it's difficult because I know the enemy is saying me other things.. but Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life..
He values me and everyone else who is dealing with this. And He will help us out just as He has helped you.. Thank you for sharing your testimony🙏🏿❤️
Bless you so much. He is the great Deliverer, nothing is too hard for Him!
I'm too shy I want to talk to people about Bible and God but I can't.I want to talk to people make friends but I can't I just can't open my mouth. it's horrible
God will help you. Have faith! God bless :)
I dont even laugh or speak up in my own room.. I feel shy just to laugh. All i say to my family is a yes or no, or just a simple question.. I cant tell them storys or whatever's on my mind. I can only speak through txting them..
Al Diablo social anxiety right?
There's hope...
It should start with changing your name. And stop watching dark things. You want light. The The Word of God is the glorious light of the Gospel that shines forth through our minds. 2 Cor 4:4.
How is everything now?
Your words of encouragement touched my heart ❤️ thank you...I lost hope in myself and shyness has made me afraid of being around people or even going out and it stopped me from going to church...God bless you!!!
Wow will pray for you. May you receive audacity and boldness in the Lord. Jesus loves you so much ❤️
Here I am watching this 4 years after you posted this video, I found it and it has greatly blessed me!
Thank you for this video... I can relate to this on so many levels... I've gotten a lot better than I was growing up but I still deal with social anxiety, awkwardness, and shyness. It's so much I want to do for God that requires me to talk to other people I'm just tired of allowing this to hold me back.
Wow... its great to see this blessful videoo. amen
I love your testimony. This is me. And your right when you said, you can't be shy and serve God. There needs to be boldness. I used cry out to God to take shyness away from me, and still prayering about. It's really hard for me because not only I'm I shy but I also stuttered. So for me to even try to speak, it's a serious battle.
This is the first time I’ve ever commented on UA-cam and I’ve had this account since 2010 lol. Thank you for helping me see that shyness keeps me for serving God. Stay Blessed.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.””
Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV
Omg thank you for sharing I thought I was alone. I am so shy and it is so annoying. I prayed. Fast request prayers about this situation. I believe that the Lord will deliver me. I believe that he is working on the root of this situation.
This has been one of the most helpful videos I've come across on youtube. God knows how much i struggle with this shyness. It has made me missed so many opportunities on making friends, improving, etc. You are truly an inspiration to many of us thx😊
Wow, this is my story here, this is so me. Lord, thank you for letting me find this video. You are great.
IvSuffer from shyness and Anxiety, I wasted most of my life hiding, from People, didn't want to be around anyone, now I want to be delivered from this spirit and go on with my life free from shyness
Oh yesssssss! This has always been me. And the dreaded moments when people point out how quiet you are! Ugh! How many times I left social settings and cried after leaving wishing and praying I wasn't so full of shyness and fear. The guilt that would come because I knew I had things to say, yet held back. Missed opportunities.😔
But God! It's been a process, but God has been been changing me and showing me how to be confident in who He created me to be. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and a sound mind❤️ and... Perfect love casts out All fear ❤️
I can relate. I am praying for God to help me be who He has created me to be. I wish I have true Christians in my life
I like your Encouragement ❤❤ It really touches my heart, I have this same Shyness Problem too. God bless you I really appreciate it.
Great to hear it was a blessing sis. We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony ❤️
Wow! Thank you so much for your testimony❤️! This has blessed and encouraged me. I’ve been struggling with shyness and it’s been impacting the gift that God gave me. I pray that God delivers me from it!
Thanks for sharing... I too am generally shy.. I often get out my comfort zone and get infront crowds when asked to in church etc.. I do it for God, however up to today im not comfortable doing it. However I realize others are blessed and it fives me motivation to continue... Thanks for sharing your story.
My anxiety and shyness has blocked alot of my blessings ... Job interviews scared me I would always be afraid before hand that I'm gonna blow it and don't know what to say ... And I go with severe anxiety and don't get called back because my anxiety would have my heart racing during this interview and I'd just forget everything and don't know how to answer questions ... I'm believing God for a deliverance to free me from all these strongholds in my life ... It's really alot .. your video is very annointed it really gave me hope deep down inside .. God bless you ❤
I just watched your video tonight and I fell in love you because you are me, I am you😩😩 everything you're saying is me... and you're helping me so much ❤️
Aawh bless your heart Lunia. I'm humbled it's great to hear my video is a blessing to you. Lots of love ❤️
I literally cried when you got to the part about surrounding yourself around certain people. I tend to isolate myself a lot. Thanks for the video!
Wauw, ik dank God voor je gegtuigenis het heeft me weer kracht gegeven om uit me comfortzone te stappen , het heeft iets in mij doen losbreken.
GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH!!!❤❤
hello thank you for this video its such a blessing ..... i hv similar shyness but a bit differant. my shyness comes when im in church & spirit hit me i began to control myself from getting out of character from the annoiting (shouting, crying or dancing) i feel others are starring at me or i feel im mking a complete fool of myself. but i know that is not true i battle with this right now today. even if i pray (out loud) in my home & my windows are open i began to feel sum 1 is watching me & saying i look like a fool. idk y but i need this tooken away from me. this is a step for me sharing this on utube bc this 1st time ive shared this. God Bless you for this video it helped me to acknowledge this problem
Hi dear bless you. I pray for you that you may allow the Spirit to do what He wants to do through you. If you keep in mind that what you are experiencing at that moment is greater then what anyone could say things will be so much easier ❤️

Thanks for sharing this testimony beautiful sister
Thank you for this video Ophilia. I didn’t know that fear was a spirit. I will pray and take all your advice to overcome it and give my testimony to the glory of God. Sending peace and love to you. Awurade Enshira Wu 🙏🏿
Thank you so muucchh😖😭❤ i barley figured out i was shy because my boyfriend mentioned to my church sis that why i don't talk and he said because she is shy so he asked her and her bother and sis that if they see me alone to come up and talk to me. I tend to stay alone and i be telling myself inside go talk to people but i start doubting myself O they walk away and im awkward.
That was very encouraging to hear, I used to be so extremely shy as well. I am so amazed at what God has done in my life. This summer I will be on the summer staff team at a local Bible Camp. I will be a counselor instead of the little shy girl in the cabin. Praise God!
It good to know that I am not alone.
For real
God bless you. This video is for me. God is doing amazing things in you. Don’t give up and thank you❤️

Thank you so much. Really needed this
Very Nicee God Bless You!
Thank you, God bless you too ❤️
Shyness lead to low self esteem and years of bullying.It's a weakness that people prey on and I had to change. Now, I am no longer shy but I am a misanthrope.I suffer from social anxiety and I avoid idle conversation.
THIS TOPIC IS SOMETHING THAT MANY AVOID AND ITS VERY IMPORTANT THANK YOU FOR THAT AND YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL
THERE'S NOTHING SO AMAZING AND GOLDEN LIKE A WOMAN IN CHRIST
Blesssings. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you God, for delivering me from shyness in Jesus name amen 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for creating this video. 😭
Am not really shy but when i start ministering am shy am in praise and worship
Can someone please pray for me. I want to delivered from this shyness. I want to use my gift of singing for the Lord but my shyness is a barrier right now. In the name of Jesus I get rid of this right now.
Amazing testimony.
Bless you, thank you for watching ❤️
I been suffering from shyness for so long and I been praying and praying about it for years and I still suffer from it! Im so shy that im afraid to go on stage and sing for Jesus and this is not good because I wanna sing to Jesus on stage 😩😩😩
I'm so sorry to hear, I was once there and can you believe that I'm now a worshipleader. God is able to do it. Trust more in Gods ability than your own. Take a bold step of faith and see God favoring you
you have some much things within you but you can't express yourself. Its one of the hardest things ever. It can really kill you. "
It really feels painful. I dealt with this a whole lot but never really acknowledged it.
I am struggling with social anxiety and shyness. Mine is so bad that even my friends know about it, its affecting all areas of my life. I'm a chorister in teens church and most times I find it difficult to lead praise and worship... JUST BECAUSE I'M SHY. I have lived with it all my life and its really making me unhappy... Pls need your prayers. Thanks.
Hi Opeyemi, I went through this. My passion has always been worshipping. Now I lead praise and worship and also translate in church without fear. It wasn't easy getting there but if God can do it for me, He will surely do it for you. I pray for you today that God will make you bold as a lion. I come against any spirit of fear in your life in the name of Jesus Son of the Living God. May the Spirit of God which is the Spirit of power and a sound mind rest upon you, Amen. Stay blessed 💕
