Hey sis, in today's video, we are talking about 3 signs that we will experience when God is shifting us - supernaturally. Often times, these shifts come with change, and change can be uncomfortable and because of that, we can have a tendency to fight against what He's trying to do in these moments but what if we leaned in instead? To help us recognize when we are going through a sudden and supernatural shift, we'll be looking at Paul and his incredible transformation as he experienced God's divine acceleration during his shift. I hope you enjoy!!!

Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my TH-cam channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!
melody alisa, signs god is shifting you, signs your breakthrough is close, god is shifting you into position, 3 signs god is, signs blessings are coming
Control. Every time I think I’m in control, God shows me who’s the boss
THIS!! so good. and so true.
Facts same with me…
Right!?
So true 😅
oh!!!!
I lost friendships. But I gained a closer relationship with God were I talk to him first. I am no longer to call someone up. But I call on God first. God is so good.
Felt this ❤
Same❤
I love it! God FIRST...ALWAYS!
I talk to God and to my family because I need to vent at that moment. Sometimes I might not say much but I just need a hug for a moment. Lately I've been overwhelmed and emotional so much that I'm losing sleep. Lord I just want to be happy but lately it seems like I'm just being misunderstood. Praying everyday for better.
Same. I am experiencing this also and honestly God has given me the best guidance ever. More than any friend could.
My confirmation was watching this till the end. For 3 years I've been in "isolation" ...like he cleared my life out like a tornado! But in the past 7 months it was the first time I haven't felt lonely or empty! He healed me and changed my whole life with one touch! Then you talked about how it happens swiftly ... Surrendering has been everything. I pray for anyone who reads this to PLEASE SURRENDER TO GODS'S WILL! WHAT HE HAS FOR US IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANYTHING WE COULD EVER WANT AND DO FOR OURSELVES. I LOVE YOU ALL AND I'M PRAYING FOR YOU AND PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! We are all in this together ❤
Thank you, God bless you and your family 😊
Same here sis
I have a problem surrending! I feel like every time I try to, I get sucked back in by the devil! I was to be obedient, I want to trust in him but I keep letting him and myself down. Please keep me in your prayers!!
@@Kelly_Nicole80 Beautiful sister I will! Maybe think about the devil can only use what you have. So he reminds you of the past thoughts and actions that are familiar. And in the flesh we gravitate to what is familiar. But remember God knew you before you were formed ,so he is what's really familiar. No matter what you do God already knew and has already prepared a way for his will to still be done. Nothing we go through will ever be wasted. So don't be so hard on yourself. We all fail him daily and he knows that. But God is so loving he died just cause he knew we would. I found freedom in God by giving him all my fears. Look around.....He has made sure you have survived everything you have been through cause you are so valuable to him and his purpose. I love you my sister and I'm sure so many others do too. Be blessed and keep praying. God always has your back🫶🙏🫶
@@TheNyah333 Thank you so much!! I really needed to hear that!❤️
I’ve given up weed and alcohol. It was very hard to do at first and often I do feel a little left out, but GOD has been increasing me in awesome ways
Stay strong and be encouraged. 🙏🏽☝🏽💖 God will replace your taste for those things with something more fulfilling, something more long lasting and better for your body and the temple of His spirit. Amen.
I’m really really struggling with weed😭
@@therandomhamster0076 You can do it...take it one day at a time.
I just stopped smoking a few days ago, ironically i was JUST having a conversation with my bf saying even though i feel uncomfortable at times, sometimes you have to be uncomfortable to progress. Praise be to thee!
@@therandomhamster0076 you can do it.
I was crying in my room, with scars and bruises, and He heard my cry to Him, I got healed, I have a stable job and a healthy pregnant wife! And we're expecting a boy, and it's all because of Him. Praise the good ol' God
Amen!!God is Great,He will do it for me too
I can actually testify to this ❤
I remember when the year started I constantly got anxiety because I was fresh out of university (with my first qualification) and everyone else was talking about how useless it is. But I remember crying to God and telling Him that I'm worried because I don't have connections and He said, "You may not have connections, but you are connected to me." Till this day, it still gives me goosebumps 😭😭❤
I also asked God to help me desire the things that He wants for me.. a week later, I began to desire becoming a lecturer and according to my calculations, it would've taken me about 3 years to get there but 2 weeks later, I was called for an interview and I got a job as a lecturer at a college.🥺
I'm still in awe 🥺❤ not only was I elevated, I WAS ELEVATED BY THE GRACE OF GOD while stepping into purpose !!!
Weeks later, God even appointed me to be a Sunday school teacher and youth leader at my church.🥺❤
And now I'm working on a ministry He gifted me.. 🥰
MY GOD IS INDEED MIGHTY 🙌
This is an incredible story to hear. I started crying while reading because God led me to a different nation, and I remember complaining that I didn't have anyone to assist me living there, but every step of the way, a random stranger has helped me, and I have experienced God's favour and grace like never before. I've noticed how much God listens to me and takes our discussions seriously. I am really grateful that he takes such good care of me.
@@servicetothecross8914 that is indeed true. God literally takes care of us and I love how He also aligns us with His people. It also inspires me to take care of others too. ❤
Anyways, I love that for you sis, continue to walk with God and you will indeed receive abundant favour.❤
Also read Isaiah 45 💐
@@atlegangmakgakga9 thank you 🙏
Praise God! Thank you for sharing your blessings From Him. It is inspiring. To God be the glory❣️
@@laurenbatchelor7014 amen and amen ❤
I was demoted from my position and humiliated in front of many people. I needed this study because I haven’t received a new position yet and I am doing my best to let go of the humiliation and trust that God will provide something else for me.
God has not forsaken you the master planner is working everything out for your good
I understand because I was in a situation simialar. I was so embarrassed because I was forced out a position. Then one day the Lord spoke to me and told me had I not done this you would still be there. I then saw all the opportunities I had to leave yet I stayed. I began to have a better relationship with God and a lot of things changed in me. People noticed I was happier and mentally better. Point- reflect and pray. You may not see it in the now but in the long run a blessing is coming.
I'm sorry you were humiliated. God had something better. Keep trusting and praying and depending on him 💜
@@mstans012
I feel that if it had not been for being removed from the position, I believe I would’ve stayed in a toxic environment. I wouldn’t have developed a stronger relationship with God. I haven’t seen what is next for me yet, but I know that it’s coming. When it arrives it will be much better for me but it will also present opportunities for me to be a blessing to others. I’m looking forward to that.☺️
Sometimes we go through situations that not only slap us in the face, but also knock us down so hard it almost seems impossible to get back up again. A new blessing is coming! God being for you is greater than the world being against you. I’ve been through something similar, and it wasn’t until nearly a year after the work situation that I received a greater blessing, looked back, and realized that God was preparing and redirecting my steps all along. He was cleansing my heart and reshaping my character and values. Somethings we have to hit rock bottom to bounce back with greater force than where we’ve been. I developed a thicker skin, a stronger confidence in myself, and built a stronger connection with God because I knew I couldn’t have gotten back on my feet and gotten even further than I thought was possible if it wasn’t for His grace. Keeping praising and trusting God for His plans for your life! Your time is coming!
I've given up all social media. My time spent scrolling has been replaced with prayer. I struggle with contentment some days because I feel like He's taken something great (not the social media, that was a result of the loss) but I know it was necessary to increase my prayer life and to draw me closer to Him.
That’s beautiful ! I’ve spent so much time scrolling and I deleted my social media for a long time. This is inspiring !
Same thing happened with me!!!!
I just been scrolling so much recently, my days start slow due to the scroll of death lol I think I may give it up too
I gave up alcohol and partying. God replaced it with new opened doors!! It’s unexplainable; God has, and continues to, SHOW OUT in my life. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I gave it up as well 🙏🙏
I know that’s right
I needed this video
I'm struggling with my faith I need God now more than ever
If it requires you waiting on God for something He promised, just focus on Him rather than what is bothering you and you’ll have peace even in the midst of the storm. If it helps, I always read Isaiah 43:18-19 when I felt like God wasn’t acting as quickly as I would have liked.
Find a Bible verse that would calm your heart whenever you feel anxious and hold on to it.
I pray God brings you out of that testing period with your faith strengthened and heart filled with praise to Him. Have a great day! Shalom!
@@nellyenuoh_ thank you so much for your encouragement
I'm struggling with my faith too, but God reminded me that he is the author and finisher of my faith, it takes the pressure off of us😊
Same for me. The more I give the more is taken as if I've never done anything. 😢 IT truly truly Hurts.
I prayed for you love !
God has shifted me forcing me out of my relationship the man I thought I was going to marry, isolated yet what he replaced was my passion and sight to pursue my business as a Licensed Natural Hairstylist and get involved in a christians women's prayer and profit group! The 21 day fast has been life changing and being surrounded by the right community has kept me hopeful, strong, and motivated. Testimonies and prayers from likeminded women changes EVERYTHING. It's life changing. We need others who pray behind our back. Thank you God for the shift and supernatural increase.
THIS, THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT!!!!!! ♥️♥️
& I bet you started receiving these blessing as soon as you healed over that lost. God bless your heart🙏
love this!!!❤ may God continue to bless you on your journey!!!
I wanted to ask what’s the 21 day fast and where’s the support group?
I’m in my shifting season with God. He Is shifting me now. One thing I’m noticing specifically, is my relationships. Instead of being in relationships where I’m needed but nothing is poured back into me, He’s giving me people who pour into me and support me but also keep me accountable.
For me, I think God is shifting me to leave the relationship that I am in. The tough questions have come during my time of isolation and really evaluating things. I have noticed that God has always taken care of me and given me His best. So the right man who He has for me would do the best he can to please God. I know God is waiting on me so I just have to pray this week for strength.
I’m in the same situation. God has strongly placed it on me to become abstinent till marriage. Mind you I’m in a 6 year going on 7 yr relationship and never practiced that before. It’s been so heavy on me for like 2 months until 2 days ago my sister’s friend confirmed it. Saying that I needed to leave and trust God because he’s holding on to something so much better for me if only I would trust him and obey.
Praying for strength for you to leave. I was in a similar situation and ignored it all I could. I tried to walk a Christian life in a relationship with a non-Christian. No way it was going to work without compromise and usually, unfortunately, it's the Christian in the situation who compromises. It's easier to pull someone down from a chair than it is for the person on the chair to pull someone up. I didn't leave, but God saved me from myself by allowing him to leave. The part that made me low-key feel ashamed was that he, the unbeliever, realised what was wrong and encouraged me to focus on my faith. Whole time I was tryna balance him and Jesus. Imagine that!!!! Now, I'm closer to Jesus than ever and am very careful about entertaining anybody else. I don't want anyone else competing for Jesus' place in my life. I pray you receive the courage to trust God and let go ❤.
Girl I’ll be praying for you! I’ve been there and I know how hard it is. But it’s so much better when we leave the toxicity and run towards our Father! 🤍
@@christibrown whew! This is the truth. I’m with an un believer as well and my sister’s friend who confirmed it said also, “As God is pruning you, the person your with can never give you what your looking for.” And what I was looking for was a Godly relationship and maturity although he’s a great guy. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in terms of emotionally and like in a relationship.
@@kshealieceartistry358 thank you so much and yes it is hard. I’ve been so full of sorrow because he’s such a great guy but he’s not a believer and we don’t practice the same faith and I don’t want to break his heart so I’ve been delaying saying anything to him. But because I’m delaying it, the stronger God is impressing on me to do it. Plus delayed obedience is still disobedience.
I lost bonds with friendships. I lost myself 😂. I lost financial stability. All for me to fall on God for him to tell me that I was trying to move faster than he intended, and that I needed to slow down and look in myself and look at what I have and appreciate my life.
God can open doors no one can shut. I need to hear this today because I need a spiritual shifting in my life. I am desperate for God Help.
God will meet you wherever you are. Remember He was neither in the earthquake, wind or fire, but spoke with a still small voice to Elijah.
Most times, we forget He is God.
May God give us the grace to listen always to Him ❤❤❤
He has me giving up so much this past year, and the crazy thing is, the more I give up, the more free and 'myself' that I feel. Where do I start?
Eating for comfort - He revealed to me that I choose food when I am stressed or processing trauma instead of coming into His presence.
My sense of humor - He showed me that I use my sense of humor to bring glory to myself and that's why I end up regretting a lot of things I say for the sake of entertaining friends. I feel like I have to be funny and entertain to be of value and that needs to stop lol
Self-interest and being aggressive and domineering - He's showing me that security is in Him, He will fight my battles, and honestly this is so hard to admit but He's showing me how narcissistic and ruthless I can be at times when I feel threatened.
This and more. It has been a very humbling past several months. I feel like He is breathing life into me though. God is so good and all glory is His due.
My laziness and overcontrolling attitude, I surrendered he showed me in my isolation to be patient and let Him take over my path and plans, I overcome laziness by loving and taking care of my body and health.
God shifted my life, completely, in 2 days, this month. ❤ PRAISE GOD.
Control. Letting God just be God. And Know that He is good ❤
hey sis!! I missed you! ♥ it's been a week since we've chatted, so let's get into it! Today's question: what is ONE THING you've had to give up as God has shifted you? & what did He replace this thing with? It's really easy, during the shift, to be so focused on what we are losing but our God never removes something from our lives without replacing it with something far better. so I just know this comment section is going to be FULL of God's goodness.
for me: when I think back over my walk with the Lord, one of the first shifts that happened was God taking away my desire to listen to the music I used to love (secular rap, hip hop). Music was previously something that I used to connect with people on, especially friends I grew up with so as God was taking away my love for it and replacing it with a new found love of worship music, I honestly felt out of the loop, embarrassed, and disconnected. I would avoid getting the aux code because I knew no one would want to listen to what I was loving at the moment. But this love of worship music God gave me 8 years ago has sustained me in ways I can't even explain during the shift(s) and challenging seasons that have come since. He knew I was going to need it to say encouraged and I'm so grateful for His foresight and love!!!
Wow I’m experiencing the same thing right now with music. Never thought I’d see the day I’d be able to give it up. Any artist or songs you would recommend?
Pulling me away from certain friend circle that I think I couldn't do without...but now that time is placed in studying the word more and trying to find additional ways to stay connected with him and his will🙌🙌🙌Am loving it...❤❤
Amen, I can definitely relate to that experience.
That's awesome! Secular music was one for me too that I gave up, but the replacement was so much better! There are so many Christian songs out there that have been a blessing during hard times that I can worship along with and songs that have encouraged my heart.
Another thing I gave up was my hairdresser career. In turn I got to be present more for my 4 children during their younger years.
@@SJD36can y’all recommend some nice ones that are modern ?
💯 went from a stay at home mom to a TA to teacher all in a year 😭 without much experience or a degree in education 🙌🏾 God is Good ‼️
Wowww! Literally read that scripture this morning in Isaiah that God has the keys to open doors and close doors He desires to open or close! Love that about Him!!
I've had to give up my dependence on my emotions and fear. In my current relationship I have learned to lean on him and truly take things to Christ first, before the spiral. Within the past couple of years, I have done a lot of self examination and have grown because of it. I'm grateful for whatever shift is looming.
I would have to say the biggest thing I’ve had to give up on was my need for control. I had to really allow God to be God. I’m so use to having it “figured out” but in this season, i don’t think God is allowing it anymore so it’s causing me to seek Him continuously with or without the thing I want. I now go into all situations seeking Him first and not overthinking it. I’ve also learned how to be content with or without the thing I’ve wanted or had. My need for control was replaced with submission to God💝 This video was on time because it confirms what I just prayed about, going to rewatch to make sure I caught everything. Thank you for your obedience through posting🙂
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen ✝️🙏♥️
Its so important to trust God during times of transition. It can be scary but we can be at peace knowing that He gives us a hope and a future!!
Control is what I am having to surrender to God fully and completely. Trusting God with everything and only having his word to hold on to.
Hallelu-Yah!
I like that, when Yahuah takes something or allows the enemy to take something from you, he replaces it with something better. He does it all for his glory.
Praise Yahuah!🎉
Hallelu-Yah!!!!❤❤❤❤
Moving me out of my comfort zone with certain people and places, position at work brought about prayer life and conversation with God.
Love this video. I am currently in this season of shift/change and one thing I’ve given up is my drive towards planning and controlling my career path and destiny. My desire for my career isn’t the same, and I felt really bad at first but then some how (via Holy Spirit) I realised God was calling me back to him and that his bringing a shift in my life - although I don’t know what I’m doing next (but is trust him) and I’m waiting in faith to hear from him. Plus his a much better planner than me - he knows my end and beginning
Wow! I’m in this same boat. Thank you for sharing it affirmed my exact thoughts and feelings
I’d love to connect with you. Do you have any social media?
Wow!! Affirmation!! I’m in the same season. I know God wants me to build my faith and rely solely on him. I know I need to increase my prayer life. Thanks for sharing.
@@pamelawyatt4236 yes sister Gurl standing with you as you increase your prayer life. The free time I have has really enabled me to draw close to God through prayer, reading is word and worship. It’s really giving a new POV on everything.
Amen I can relate 🙏🏽
I lost a really close relationship, but He gave me His love, friendship, compassion, kindness, & so much more!!!!
I’ve had to give up control, pride and fear. It’s been hard to surrender fully at times, but when I make room for him he will take every square inch!! Praise God!! 🙏🏽🩷
God is shifting me out of people pleasing. I was (still) people pleasing to the detriment of me and those I love. Not fun; but I have a deep sense that I’m needing to shed this for what He’s called me to.
I left a 15 year relationship, where I had everything I needed and thought I wanted. He was not a believer and this relationship separated me from God. I left my job and moved to a different state, but I was hearing move to a different state on social media, commercials but most of all in my heart. God blessed me with an apartment that which will allow me to be there for family that I was able to be there for when I was in this relationship. God moved so fast on my behalf, it brings tears to eyes to even think about how good God is and how he cares for us.
You are my CONFIRMATION!! I was at church today, and our pastor opened up to this scripture about Sol, when I got back home I went on to my TH-cam app and this video was the first to appear 😮. I’m so grateful. Even though I’m still trying to find myself and some days aren’t easy when it comes to getting closer to God, I’m just so grateful that he’s speaking to me. Thank you for this video. 🙏🏽
Needed this! I pray the rapture is soon. Jesus save me. I will never stop praying. Lord please change my life for the better. Thank you Jesus for never leaving my side, because everyone else has! Jesus! I PRAISE you! Even as I’m struggling providing for my children. I feel like a failure but I will keep faith because faith is all I have left! Since covid I can’t seem to get back on my feet. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m now waitressing and so thankful to be working but I’m not making nearly enough to get by. I have two beautiful boys both are autistic. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. Every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets with my boys. I’m struggling buying groceries I’m so discouraged. Jesus hear my cries I’m so tired. But I have faith! Jesus hear my prayers.
Praying for you sis! God is with you even when it doesn’t feel like he is. This scripture is a reminder for me through my personal battles and I pray it encourages you.❤Psalms 34:18- “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Isiaiah 41:10
Do not fear for I am with you
Do not be discouraged for I am your God
I will strengthen you and help you
I will hold you up with my righteous right hand
God is with you
I would like to encourage you to listen to faith preachers like Kenneth Hagin on finances because you’re probably not applying the right principles for financial freedom
I will remember you in my prayers as well
Be strong and courageous
God is coming through for you in no time okay
God bless you
Proverbs 10:28 The hope of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked (those who are out of harmony with God) comes to nothing.
My Sister, God is going to restore everything you have lost since Covid by tenfold Deuteronomy 30:3-13 Keep praying as I am now praying by Faith for you and your sons. They, too, will get all of the help they need in Jesus' Name. Amen. 🙏🏽
Please keep your faith in Him no matter the circumstances. He will get you through because God turns all bad into God, for the glory of His name. I will pray for you and your children.
As of recent I’ve been having to give up my comfort, this entire summer! From losing a relationship, shift in friendships and just God exposing myself to me & what I need to work on and surrender. It’s been tough but sooo worth it !!
I now have my peace restored, loving myself and KNOWING myself even more and things are falling into place. I was praying for a community of believers who I could be apart of and now I have that. 🙌🏽 obedience!!!
My job
After I left, I had more time to spend with God and to commit to the passions He placed in my heart (Music Composition, visual art, serving in church). He's also provided for me financially during this time. It's definitely not how I would think to provide for myself, but I think He is teaching me humility and faith this way.
For me, it’s complete surrender. I struggled with that so much because I’m one who likes to have complete control over everything in my life. I’m currently learning that the second we fully surrender to God and do less that’s when starts to work and do what only he can do. If you are like me; a control freak, the thought of no longer having any control over your life can be scary but when you finally give it all to God, it’s so freeing❤
God has called me to give up cannabis. I was shown to go to him instead of cannabis when I am feeling anxious, low or bored. He delivered me from a 10 year realtionship with it. God is so good 🙏 thank you for your videos. I am new on this walk and find comfort in your words.
amen i am now one month sober from cannabis may God continue to give us strength on our journey
@thelastlettermusic amen sis!!! 🙏 1 month is awesome!! Im 2 weeks today. God has been my rock throughout and promised me my life would be so much better when I quit and I believe him for us both 🫶
Everything she is saying is TRUE, only God can move you up in a snap! But you have to leave everything to Him and put Him above all!!!
The biggest thing I’ve learned over the course of the waiting season of my life is losing control and trusting God, like fully and completely yielding my life to align with what He wants for me and at the same time following His ways and timing.
Being quite a control freak and perfectionist at the time, it truly had been hard. I constantly felt like God wasn’t being quick enough, but right now I know that if I had received the answers at that time, I wouldn’t have had the kind of relationship I have with Him now.
The wilderness season opened my eyes, ears and heart to Him and I cannot be more grateful.
Also, your video coming today of all days is all the confirmation I need. Thank you so much for this. I’m finally in my new season. ❤️
I’ve given up the time I used to waste on social media for time in my Word, in worship and prayer and with family. God’s replaced the self-induced isolation I was in with godly community-both in friendship and relationship. Sometimes I look back in disbelief that so much has shifted in the past 7 months but it’s all God. He’s made me a new person and the pruning still continues 🙌🏾
As I’ve been shifting I’ve been having to give up my plan. Honestly, God has been elevating me in areas I didn’t expect and so I’ve had to exchange my plans for my surrender to his plan. It’s his that will prevail. Thank you for this video!
Nah, like is anyone willing to teach me how to be as well articulated as this sister is please! Like how on earth do you pack so much value in so little time- articulation is on point sissss!!!
omg you are the sweetest Krupa!! shoutout to GOD!!
@@MelodyAlisa Glory, glory! You know when you're of the same Father so you're like I want some of what my sister got too please sir!! Thank you Abba!!!
This is one more confirmation in my list. Yesterday at Sunday Service God spoke to me and Today in my devotional time god gave this exact word Act 9 1-19 🙏🏾
Same !
I was working at a child development center, but was finding a lot of workers didn't like the fact that the children loved me and were drawn to me. I left there and in 2 months I got a message from another center. When I went to the interview I had a not so good feeling about the place, but the owner was introducing me as if I was already hired. Being who I am I just went along and started working there. That was a month ago. Last week I got sick and couldn't go to work. I had already prayed and applied for a position in the public school system the weekend before. While I was home sick on Tuesday I got a call from a school wanting to do a virtual interview on Wednesday. My interview was at 1:30pm and I didn't think I did that well, but, Praise God, I was called at 3:30pm with a job offer. The job is closer to home, and will allow me to work with older children, work with at risk children, and allow me to be able to pick my granddaughter up from her afterschool program when my daughter has to work late. I am beyond happy for this opportunity since I was working in the school system before the pandemic as a substitute teacher. This is so how God works.
Everything and He is slowly but surely giving me everything back but waaaay better! Definitely was hard but definitely one of the best decisions I ever made especially during this pregnancy. Praise Him and God bless everyone today and eternity.
This message was for me!! I had to give up friendships, an unequally yolked relationship and idolizing social media. But I know Gods plan is so much better than mine, so I will continue to trust him through this process
Well this is where God met me. I had to give up nursing school because He shifted my desires from school to serving Him full-time. :) Confirmation.
I’m new to faith. I gave up drinking and now I have peace and happiness
“When God takes something from us, He always tends to replace it w/ something better” 🌻 I am currently going through a divorce from my husband of 11 years…after having our 1st child together who will be two this year. I have learned, acknowledged and accepted this divorce had to happen (not that God supports it but is allowing it) to bring me closer to Him. I have never know and/or love [appreciate] Him the way I do today. God is good; His son is my Savior; redeemer! The Holy Spirit is my comfort or and confidant!
Thank you for this reminder, Sister 🥰 He reaffirmed through you, I am on the right path. Acknowledging I am a sinner who He has saved. Giving Him all the glory, honor and praise 🌻
Amen 🙏🏽💯
Love this! I always found comfort in being separated from people and being a very guarded person. God has been really helping in this area in my life that I so heavily identified with. All praise and glory to God!
God is shifting me to love my Enemies. Love people who have hurt me. I don’t know what’s happening… it’s so HARD. Still processing
Ppl. My car. My job. It might not feel like God is listening, watching, or is there. But I know he will move things around just to show you who he is . Amen !!! ❤Thankful for his grace, his mercy, and his love !!! 💕💕💕
🙌🏾🙌🏾 praying for you sis!! You are preaching. He absolutely is working!
I’ve given up social media ! It was hard at first because I felt like I needed to know everything that was going on in the world or in celebrities lives. But since I’ve given up scrolling for hours I have been able to connect with God through my Bible and Bible apps also gain a closer relationship with my sister 🙏🏾✝️
3.5 years in isolatioooooon yoooo
Thank you❤ always good to get another reminder. I get like 10 videos a day. I tayaaaad😩🤣
2 years in it 😭😂😂😂……it’s not easssyyyyy
Currently going through a shift,my contract just ended and although im unsure of what next, i have surrendered to God and im trusting him to show up for me 🙏🏽 thank God for the word today
I had to give up thoughts of further loses. I pray for supernatural turn around SOON!
Currently going through some losses right now and struggling to believe that God has better plans. But thank you for this video, it’s encouraging me to see isolation differently and really take time to shift my perspective. ❤
Great video Melody, thank you for sharing your insight concerning this passage.
I believe the main thing God has been asking me to give up is emotional insecurity (i.e. the inability to trust that God loves me enough to take care of me). This has been linked to unresolved grief concerning the loss of my parents. In exchange, He has been helping me to walk in greater confidence concerning my identity in Christ.
It's been very hard but I am incredibly grateful for the amount of healing I've been able to experience, particularly the return of my joy.
I’ve given up weed, smoking, alcohol, sex addiction, unhealthy diet, trauma bonding, negative thought patterns, past relationships, old friendships, family members, going about my days without organization, material attachments, comfort, my apartment, the city I used to live in, money, working in corporate, worldly perspectives, and other things as well. I feel like this has all happened because for years I was placing those things above my purpose or in some way I was simply just distracted. I’ve made many changes in my life this year and have remained consistent with my new self. Your message serves as confirmation that I’m on the right path and all God wanted me to do this entire time was to focus on my purpose and walk the path created for me. Thank you. God bless ❤️

It’s seem like you know what to say in your videos at the right moment. Thank you for the encouragement in my season of waiting. ❤
God is taking away procrastination and replacing it with productivity! 😁😁
Currently in my walk with Jesus. God is transitioning me out of my current career field into Ministry. I’ve been very uncomfortable and without passion in the Spa Industry and my heart posture is changing and moving closer to where I’ve been called. Releasing control and not leaning on my own understanding is my current battle. I decree and declare that God is positioning me into my purpose in Jesus name. 👐🏾❤️
"God will meet you where you are" & "Divine Acceleration"
God is really speaking to me in this season of life to give up social media for a little bit to focus more intensionally on him and really shift my daily habits to honor and glorify him❤
Keep trying to say this to my friends, God will make up for lost time and elevate you so far ahead youd forget you were ever behind!! It’s amazing ❤when the shift hits the fan I keep flying higher with his blessings
Dearest Sister in Christ,
Words cannot express the immense gratitude I have for your beautiful and inspiring Bible study. Your dedication to God's Word has touched my heart deeply, and I am in awe of the tremendous progress you've made on your spiritual journey. Praise be to God for His work in your life!
Your teachings have been a source of immense growth and encouragement for me, and I am genuinely excited about the prospect of one day joining forces with you to create a Bible study together. Your passion for sharing God's love and wisdom shines through in every word you speak, and I know that collaborating with you would be a divine blessing.
As we walk this path of faith together, let us hold fast to our unwavering trust in the Lord, knowing that He guides our steps and strengthens us in times of trials. Your steadfastness and commitment to God's teachings inspire me to keep the faith alive, to remain strong even when faced with challenges.
May you continue to be a beacon of light, spreading the gospel in Jesus' name with unwavering fervor. Your influence in the lives of those around you, including mine, is immeasurable, and I am certain that God will continue to use you for His divine purposes.
With love and admiration,
❤💪🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿🚀
I've had to give up relationships with people I was once close with. At first I didn't get why I felt isolated and away from what was familiar but as, you stated earlier God will send someone or something to let you know and he has done that through so many leaders in Christ, you being one of them! Thank you for your videos they are super encouraging and give so much energy where it is needed. There is no doubt that you are one of his chosen! God bless you 🙏🏾.
God has healed me during my shift! 🎉
Expectations. I now expect what God has for me. I pray that my heart is aligned to His Heart His Plans for my life knowing God is always with me. So if things don’t go the way I think they should go, I try not to be disappointed. I bring my concerns to God, and keep moving forward in Christ Jesus. Amen. Thank you for sharing this word. 🙏🏽💕
I was literally stripped off of everything valuable I had huge amount of money and a car and my social status I can say I'm the modern day Job but I know God will restore me big time in Jesus mighty name amen thank you Lord God 🙏
I had to give up my understanding and lean on the Lord it’s not easy but it’s worth it all by the help of the Holy Spirit Glory be to God Hallelujah 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I had to give up my understanding of how i previously earned income. I had to learn how to let God lead me step by step in how to organize my finances in this entrepreneurial space. I had to give up my understanding. And I gained wisdom and new skillsets to teach people. Now it’s like my new skills usher in souls to be saved. Because whenever I teach I give God glory. Thanx sis for the vid ❤️❤️❤️
In this wilderness season I had to give up years of fear and self sabotage. God has been confirming things to me letting me know I’m qualified and have everything it takes to overcome my battles. The enemy is using this vulnerability of mines to attack my mind, pray for me yall 😢
10 minutes after watching this video I was in a car accident and walked away untouched.
God spoke to me through you and I thank you for this video and confirmation.
This video was my CONFIRMATION. i was uneasy about a relationship/friendship that i consider very important not being where it once was, but now im positive that its not supposed to be anymore. and i can let go of this guilty feeling! thank you and may God bless you. Great message!
One thing I've had to give up was my own control and also my own way of thinking. His Word says that His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. I've really had to let go of how I thought things would turn out and just trust the process. God always knows best and His plans are always better.
I had to give up spiritual laziness
PHEW!! huge. how has the transition been?
Greetings Sisters!! I am currently embracing my Single Season! God is shifting the way we have our alone time in the mornings. I tried to start my day with prayer and reading the Word however He has shifted me to wake up and workout to worship music. This gets me energized, worshiping His greatness as my first frit of the day to Him and I am alert and ready to dive into His Word and what He has for me for the day. This just started yesterday, and I am so EXCITED to continue to be developed by God!! (Gave up sleep for more Jesus time!)
Just had 2 eye surgery's, not getting short term disability from my job, may have to resign due to my impaired vision, Lord I'm ready for my life shifting!!
I been learning to deal with separation from needing a relationship to feel okay or “comfortable”, it’s been tough but I have been moving with God in prayer each day.. this video reassured me more then u know.. I realized your name right after getting to #3.. Confirmation.. I broke down in tears, Alisa.. it’s my first name too, spelled the same and everything. Very rare for me, especially to hear you speaking on God and his word. I know I’m on the right path and have to keep focused, thank you for sharing🙏🏾 just subscribed
My timeline for His, which has been REMARKABLE as I see His plan unfolding..and my pride for His patience 😩💗🤲🏾🙏🏾
I had to give up a relationship that I thought was fulfilling for me not realizing that I didn’t even go to God for permission or confirmation. It hurt because I knew spiritually that it wasn’t right but physically/emotionally it brought me comfort. I feel as if ever since I had to be separated from this person, I’ve gained a better understanding of God especially within me. He is always here in my times of loneliness and he mends my broken heart to his. He accepts me even if the world or a person doesn’t. It’s difficult to think on this especially when you’ve adapted to someone else being your comfort but God will surely show up as what you narrated the person to be. He can provide anything to fulfill your spiritual desires and will alternate your physical to something that’s more pleasing to him; it’s for our protection. It’s difficult to not slip into thinking about someone that you thought quenched the thirst of your heart but it can easy if I rely on God. Taking my hurt to him and asking for him to help me to completely walk from this person not with pain but alleviation from what was afflicted to my heart. I also prayed for this person but I had to ask myself what was my intention for praying for them. At time is was me pleading to get them back in a sense, other time I just wanted the best for them. This time I have to pray for me and God will do what he has planned for them.
Sorry if this is a lot but I really needed to vent 😂
My husband and I were in a 1000 sq foot condo (divided by 3 floors) with 4 kids. It was tight to be sure. We tried selling our condo in 2016 with money He provided, and could not sell it. My unsaved friend had a dream around the same time saying in the dream we moved to a house near her. After our listing expired and lots of tears, we sat through 2017 and our contentment grew in staying. In 2018 however, my husband bumped into the friend who had the dream and she said she met the owner of the house next door to her (house was abandoned) who wanted to sell it for cheap but he didn’t know to who. She saw her opportunity and gave him our info. Long story short, we got the house for dirt cheap and were able to completely gut it and move in in just 2 1/2 months! Her dream ended up coming to pass. So many confirmations happened that I can’t write them here. But my point is that God will even use those who don’t know Him to further His plan! ❤
My shift is given up a place I was living God said is desolate. I’m in a uncomfortable situation right now not knowing where I’m going to stay but I Know God has something better for me. He makes no mistakes, and by faith I’m trusting him wholeheartedly.
God has been changing me so much in the last 5 months . I’ve been extremely emotional in the process. I was living with so much sin. Everytime I let something go I have been feeling better and better. Sometimes I still can’t believe how I have been able to drop so many destructive things that I loved to do. The only way it was even possible is through the Holy Spirit.
I have new passions. I have new role models. I truly love Jesus and that makes me so happy to be at this point in my life. I am so thankful that I can emotional just talking about it.
God Bless everyone ! Thank you for this video!
he is shifting me right now. It is so uncomfortable but I have complete trust in him always!
Amen I needed to hear this 🙏🏽 thank you
This is so on point! Thank you. God bless you!
Amazing video!
I lost this idea about the way my life should go according to me, and I gained clarity around living a life according to God
As always, this was right on time! 🙏🏾❤
Well i know for sure today the Lord's will is being done in my LIFE today an I'm grateful for that.
I needed this today, thank you 💗
Thank you for your ministry! This is amazing.
Love this content. Always hearing these messages on time.
Right in time Melody!
God is calling for my time and attention in intimacy. My question lately has been "Do you believe?" He has used sermons to call my attention to Him. I've had to give up control and worry.
