Got more free time now since I broke up with my girlfriend due to my laziness. I just spent most of my time playing computer games. I try to spend my time on betterment of my life and with God now. Most of the time I feel lonely but I just try to listen to Christian songs, especially praise and worship songs.
@@ItsGabbySings thank you. I started going back to church recently and it was of great help. Now praying for restoration of our relationship. Even as just friends. Still lost in many ways but I know God is writing our story.
God blessss ur voice, Gabby.. 🫶🏾🥹🤍 its very calming & peaceful really… Thank u so MUCH for obeying God to do what you are doing right now ♥️ God bless ur heart!
I've been unemployed for 5 years. It is killing me & videos like this, deepen the hurt. Please pray for a career path for me (I'm multi-educated, so, theres options)
The opposite, being too busy, can be just as harmful. Many people get busy doing things "for" God that they leave God out of the actual activity especially in their personal lives. I'm one of those who can get overwhelmed fairly easily and when I do, there are times I mentally shut down. If I don't shut down, I spiral down into depression. There is a fine line and balance in your activities. The best thing is to ask God where that balance is at.
So true Gabby. We all have squandered the time God has given us one way or another and we need to be "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil" Ephesians 5:16. Bess you sister.
Hi Abby, thank you with all your podcasts. I do really enjoy watching all of them. Honestly, I’m struggling to get up early this past few months coz I enjoy sleeping more and I always sleep late to o coz i spend so much time watching here in TH-cam. I really felt guilty because i don’t give enough time to read God’s Word. Please help me to pray that i would be able to overcome. I know my Spirit is willing but my body is weak. I’m hoping that I would start going to bed early then i can get up early . 🙏
Gabby I had a broken Heart 💔 which made me disconnect from life. However being single I had to work and not be lazy however my a lone time was lonely. In the middle of the night a year ago. The Holy Spirit came to me and changed my life. I started to pray 🙏 more listen and watch Christian movies and music I have become more discerning about what I watch listen to and speak. I fast more and I have started to speak to Jesus more and share the Good News through the Chosen. I am grateful to God for all the positive things that are happening you being one of those things. A lot of what you say makes sense. I consider you as one of my people. Never Stop shining your light God Bless You. Gabby I have found it hard to find a Bible study group so when I listen to you its like a Bible study Anne Wilson living water 🙏♥️🙏✨
You know I I really agree that Laziness and sloth are spiritual or spirits. They have to be. I could sleep well, eat well, exercise, take all my vitamins and still for no reason at all I get drowsy or tired...
Interesting topic. I have problems with burnout. Todays lifestyle, worklife and culture activates the so-called sympathetic nerveous system a lot - triggering fight-flight-freeze responses that effect us also long-term. Somewhere I read that Jewish spirituality there is a concept of putting up fences around what you have to do and observe. For example, if I have to go to church every Sunday I need to be super careful about planning in time and space around that so there will be no excuses or accidents stopping me. Same thing with morning prayer and time for reading the Bible. The risk is that those habits and fences makes me more lazy about other things, so I need to have my priorities figured out. I feel exhausted most days. I have'nt fully been able to discern all the spiritual aspects. But I think I need Gods help getting the right mindset and feel that things are meaningful, worthwhile, acceptable and really good for some reason or another. This video gave me some new ideas, thanks!
Amen. Great timing on this video. Been having a little more free time the past couple of weeks in between work shifts. And there's that part of me that wants to fill it with things that I know will be a distraction. Old hobbies that I know will pull me away from my goals.
One of the devils main tactic is to distract you in order to keep you from your calling and discovering who you are in Christ Jesus. You’re on the right path!! Stay focused on the things of the Kingdom! ☺️🙌
Yes, say no to laziness and other people need us and Jesus Christ. In the Bible it says it's a race about pleasing GOD, there are those that race for a corruptible crown, but us race for first place obtaining an Incorruptible Crown. 😍
I believe in what you say! And I am sure God has big plans for each and every one of us!!! We need to work hard! We put the effort and God does the remaining!
Thanks for clarifying what you meant about laziness. I tried to be intentional in my actions and not waste time too much. I am all about living a balanced life so even if I’m watching TV I’m trying to make it something that is beneficial in someway.
So good. Apathy is a terribly destructive thing. We instinctively employ it as a defense mechanism but if you don't care about anything how will you ever be fullfilled? How will your desire be fulfilled if there's no desire in the first place? Its not psychology, its warfare and devotion and discipline to the joy and glory of both God and His children. I wanted to say that I so appreciate you working hard, writing out what you want to say so you can be articulate and effective for the kingdom. I know we war with power and not eloquent words but that doesn't mean God hasn't given us our gifts for a reason and you've clearly got one. For the first five minutes I thought you were just really articulate and then I realized as you went on without stumbling or rambling that you must have written out your thoughts and refined them ahead of time. I don't mind when people just get on and ramble slightly but I wanted to let you know that your efforts are effective and appreciated. God bless you and I hope to see more from you soon. Your thoughts on the power of the tongue would be much appreciated. I believe the church has erred in divorcing our speech from the one we speak to, making it a power we wield rather giving glory to the One we petition. Paul commanded to pray without ceasing (to God, not at the world) and Solomon said life and death were in the tongue while Christ said by our words we would be justified or condemned. My belief is that the power of words is not about convincing ourselves of certain truths through repitition or effecting physical reality through the independent power of our words but rather in the court of the king we declare our allegiance and His power saves us. If you think about it Solomon was not just some guy talking about the power of the tongue. He was a king telling his court, make your allegience to me public and I shall save you, make your defiance public or private and I shall destroy you. In the same way in the NT Christians affirmed (confessed) their faith in the face of persecution and were saved. I firmly believe that most of those who preach the power of words without mentioning the hearer are doing so with the best of intentions but I also believe they have greatly blunted the unmixed power of almighty God we should both seek and operate in every moment and every day.
Excellent thoughts Gabby!… being intentional with our time… it is the one resource we ‘spend’ without knowing how much we have! I pray we all invest our time wisely - we’ve been given time so that we can know Him and make Him known! Such great Spirit-Filled content! Thank you for sharing Gabby
The way I treat stuards of God's message is: This pasta sauce is going to be 90% meat and vegetables...but 10% might be the reverent flavor. Did you catch that?
Leviticus 19:31 “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.” King James Version (KJV)
He hasnt given me anything to steward. Im alone (because no girl wants me and none ever will) isolated, working a crap job and still living with my mother at 33. Im also a gamer. Im just not suited for stewarding anything. I get what you're saying but it seems God didnt build me for anything special and thats fine. Others can be more important to his plans.
@jplaza7210 How do you know that? Has God told you specifically about me? I doubt he has. Like I said I'm fine with not being special or having any purpose. If I wasn't here the world would keep on spinning. It's taken me a long time but I'm okay with not being special. I'm okay with not having talents or gifts. I'm okay if God's only plan for me was to one day past a condiment to someone and never be remembered again. I'm okay if God's plan for me was to live life never making a single impact or leaving a legacy behind. I'm okay with that.
@@BansheeKing22 I can kind of relate with you. I got addicted to gaming, neglected my body and as I didn't need to get a job because I earn from gaming and crypto I got lazy. As a result of my actions I lost my girlfriend. But brother, don't give up hope, keep praying, keep believing, keep trying to do God's will no matter how small it is. God will turn things around for you. God bless.
Neither are good! I read that burnout is when we work extra hard on things without inviting the lord in for guidance! We’re more prone to burnout especially when we don’t love the thing we’re focusing all our time on. However, with God, he can give us a steadiness through all our work, even if we’re not passionate about it. It’s best to remain obedient to what he’s given you in this season!
To be honest,i seem to be in bondage with playing computer games and being lazy. I do try to read the Bible daily,i do watch Christian videos daily,i do have fellowship with believers,even though it's just online,where i live i doubt there's any Christian that shares the core beliefs that i do which is that we are saved by only trusting Jesus and His finished work and thus once we're saved,we are always saved because we're born again in that moment and we can't be unborn,we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and my other belief is the rapture is pre-tribulations which most seem to not believe,for some reason most believe we gotta endure and all that but i honestly don't know if they even understood the gospel because how can we be here during God's wrath when we're forgiven all our sins and we're the body of Christ and Jesus ain't going on the cross again and it's just... anyway. The point is,my free time i spend playing video games and a lot,often times i don't even sleep during the night,i just spend it playing and i think you're right sister,there is a spirit behind this,it is spiritual attack. I honestly never watched you,i just woke up and you came into my notifications on the phone as recommended,i knew in that moment that was God and you were God sent and now i know God addresses my laziness i didn't really want to admit as laziness and He wants me to change immediately,i think mostly because it's harming me but also to give Him glory. I should pray as soon as possible and begin the change from today. Thanks sister for this video,God used you to change lives of many,God bless.
