I love Pastor Stephanie she’s a true vessel for this world
Prayer is a first resort and not a last resort. I would be able to walk in obedience with God if I put myself away. These are my takeaway
Me too!! Stay encouraged and be blessed :)
This is so true. I was in the grocery store one day after coming into a large amount of money, when I was checking out God told me pay for the elderly lady and her caregiver in front of me. They didn’t have a lot of groceries so it wouldn’t have been much, but I didn’t listen. I was too shy, too embarrassed to ask and I felt so ashamed of myself leaving the store. I asked for forgiveness and promised to obey Him at the next opportunity. A few days later, a single mother of three kids posted on a Facebook moms’ group asking for a few groceries. I immediately messaged her asking what she needed, got everything she asked for and then some. I delivered it to her house and told her to message me if she needed anything else. She did a couple weeks later, and I did the same thing, bought her groceries and delivered them to her. I never asked for anything in return. And I don’t say all that to brag about myself, because I only did what God told me to do. Glory be to God!
Lord forgive me, I understand the weight of the assignment and that it's not about me.
Y’all should have Pastor Stephanie Ike more often. She’s so anointed I’ve learned SO much from her. I enjoy the other guests and their input but Pastor Ike is my fave ❤️
Beautiful things happen when prayers aren't the last resort but the first resort...speak, Lord♥️🙋🏻♀️‼️
I love Stephanie's relationship with God. It reminds me of mine with God open and honest and very real and raw. Lord I look forward to you opening my eyes and heart to the spiritual relm. I look forward to you blessing me with true sight. I look forward to the ways in which you will use me in your kingdom. I submit ! - Your will be done. Amen
If you don't mind me asking, Was there a particular moment that set your relationship with God into the real and raw place that is now? Just seeking encouragement
@@pepelepew8916 Well I was dating the person I thought was my future husband. I was certain this was the guy God had for me. 9 months after dating that abruptly ended. 3 months later I lost my job. I was basically stripped of everything. About 6 months to a 1 year I could take the heart ache anymore. I was broken. I begged God to make it stop. It eased, still hurt but not as bad. Then I began a relationship with God. Id been searching for a deeper relationship with God and desperate to hear from his voice. That year of having absolutely nothing but time to spend learning his word, and embarking on a journey with him. Watching lots of youtube videos like this one, made a gratitude diary, began reading a bible passage daily and writing all thoughts that came to my mind or interpretation etc, welcoming the holy spirit. Im extremely honest with him, Im not good at praying so I talk to him. Buddy to buddy. When I find it hard to find words to pray. I ask the holy spirit to search my heart and present it to heaven for me. Search heaven and bring me the answer to my various questions. If Im furstrated I tell him. Bring everything to him ask him to cleanse the parts of me that dont bring him glory and create in me who he needs me to be. Btw I dont get this "God told me" experience that other people seem to have. I have however around Christmas kept coming across "those who wait on the Lord will have their strength renewed... Isaiah 40:31. Sung 2 weeks in a row at church, one of the readings at church, a few times on TH-cam. Opened my bible randomly to that passage etc. Found myself humming the song for about 1 week - all day. My diary helped me realised the pattern. Since then Im waiting on him for everything. He literally created a brand new position at a company for me 1 month ago. I had refused to job search. I said Lord I submit when youre ready you'll provide, financially help, husband, purpose etc etc. Long story sorry. Hope it helps tho.
@@emilyn7572 no thank you for sharing such detail it was very encouraging. God bless you. I notice some similarities in your story and the situation I am facing and will continue to take it to God. Thank you :)
@@pepelepew8916 check out the better together video called "It's time to give up control". You might find it helpful. I love the better together video, because of them I usually realize alot of what I feel or experience in my walk with God, I'm not alone. Other people have or have felt that way too. May Jesus never let go of your hand, and the Holy Spirit never let go of your heart. God bless you
Amen I LOVE LOVE LOVE this so much! Thank you Father and let your will be done over ALL of your children. 🙏🏾😌 We love you God! ❤️
Wait!😳 so angels can appear here on earth or Pastor Stephanie has a special gift? ❤️🔥🙌🏾 what a powerful story. Glory to God 🙏🏾
Hebrews 13
Angels are still on earth as in the days of the Bible.We still encounter angels.God release angels when we constantly pray
This is such great teaching. It's so important to do what God is leading us to do. And I love that He led Stephanie to scripture that described the angel and what she saw. We have such a good Heavenly Father. 🙏🏾❤
I do remember a time where I have grieved the Holy Spirit too Stephanie by being disobedient. I felt so horrible knowing that I missed an opportunity for God to do something great in someone's life.
Stephine got the spirit of healing from the Lord
God is so great when you obey him
This is very good topic about holy spirit it's definitely so important to yield to the spirit when tell something I'm typed of person very shy towards approaching people but over the years with my realationship with God he as gave me boldness never had before so now as holy spirit led me obey him. Because obedience is better than sacrifice because it's be the breakthrough you been waiting on I enjoy listening to this woman testimony.
Speak to me Lord through Stephanie. You became my mentor. Every single message from you is exactly what I need 🙏🏽
That’s so amazing that you two have the same name! I love her testimony in this video and all the other videos 😊
@@shae1005 It’s sooo weird. I can relate to so many from her. Even her father or brother dead. I went through the same. She even talk about modeling and I also went through that. All the time when she shares personal stories I am like whaaaat? And I strongly think that the name defines a lot in our lives.
@@viechretienneepanouie a name is so important! That is interesting indeed! God is so good to give you a mentor like Stephanie ❤️ He knows exactly how to help us grow and mature in Him. What a good good Father indeed!
Listen she is the truth!
This was so powerful, thank you Stephanie for being so vulnerable and honest. I felt very convicted by the Holy Spirit
Do What YahWeh says & U won't go wrong!! 😇
Hello beautiful women of God. This is so awesome. Obedience to Holy Spirit is very important. It grieves his Spirit when we don't obey. I love you ladies. God bless you all. ❤️
Love this ! We are called to love, give, heal the sick and cast out demons!
Thank you for this message, 'Thy will be done' 🙏
Amen, Pastor Stephanie!
🤍
Almighty God your word is truth and your promises absolute. Lord Jesus strengthen our faith and trust so we can stay the course that leads to everlasting life with you. Order our steps Lord and keep us from all evil. 🙏
Amen
This is so Powerful my God,am encouraged love you all
Oh Wow! Thank you for sharing this... I'm always worried as well about not hearing right that I don't step out a lot of time to do what I hear God say. God bless 🙏🏾
I truly enjoyed this video and Stephanie’s experience with the Lord concerning the little boy, the angel and the woman that was healed and able to walk. I also love that prayer should be the first resort and NOT a last resort! Prayer changes things!!!!! Prayer is a powerful weapon we have been gifted by the Lord to be used for our lives and the lives of others! God Bless yall! Always a blessing!!
TGBTG what a mighty God we serve 🙌 🙏
I love her honesty. She is not trying to be holier than thou. Thank God for vulnerability. I also love how funny and relateble she is. 🤗
So blessed and touch by this😢❤️🙏🏾
Incredible... Gone 'head Lord!!!! SHOW US YOUR POWER!!!!
So powerful Stephanie!
Wow, I’ve been looking for answers and this is it. ✨Thank you Pastor Stephanie, 🤍
Hallelujah
Thank you Pastor Stephanie for this powerful message in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ Amen
I've rebuked a real live demon in the flesh before and I've had encounters with real live angels in the flesh before. I kid u not! I know it for myself. both entities are very real and GOD IS A VERY PRESENT HELP IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE! ALLELUIA JESUS! 💃🤸♀️💃💕🎶💯
I give God all the glory for everything in the loving name of Jesus Christ.
This is so good, I am coming across biblical scriptures I never even heard of & it’s so powerful. God is so intentional with His children.
Thank you beautiful ladies!!
Thanks i was waiting to release a word to my Sister .and I Will.
This was so good. Thanks for your wisdom. I really enjoy your session. They have helped me so much with my walk with God. I was suppose to pray for this guy too. I didn't because I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I didn't know how to handle it. God had never spoke to me like that before. I regret it to this day. He ended up dying. I feel like because I didn't do what thus saith the Lord that I am guilty of him dying. I repented bit I still carry the guilt 25 yrs later. I should have pleaded the blood over him and cast that demonic spirit out of him. That will never ever happen to me again. I was Lord please please please forgive me. I still feel guilty after all this time. Lord help me to be and do better. I want to move when he says move not when I feel like it. Other people are depending upon me, you know. Lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.
Don't beat yourself up. If God wanted him to live, He would have allowed him to. Glad you have learnt from it though, may God continue speaking to you in many ways🙇♀️🙇♀️
I strongly believe that our living and Omniscient Lord, who knows the beginning from the end will NEVER allow HIS beloved child , whom he knows better than we know ourselves, will ask you to Do something that you were not confident about, especially to prophecy and allow you to grief over a 'catastrophe' as heavy as the loss of life, leaving you with ambiguous conclusions and guilt. HE is a good good father.
However, notice that you pointed out that God had never spoken to you like that before ...I suggest that you don't beat yourself over something that honestly, fails to match the Sovereignty and compassion of God. Yet, I truly believe that any guilt or fear with regards to any gift that God has accounted unto you, be nurtured with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT and HIS WORD, also thru confirmations... Which Abba father will give. Just ask the Lord to give you greater discernment. Lest, the enemy who is cunning and subtle fools others and stifles the generosity of the divine gifts of God which HE has so graciously entrusted us with just bcz of the enemy's deception. GOD IS A GOOD FATHER. HE IS SOVEREIGN AND sister-in-christ, I am definitely not taking the stand of a know-it-all, but I do believe that, in all things, when unsure, u can ask for confirmation. God loves you too much to put u in such a situation. However it is, THE BLOOD OF CHRIST IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO WASH OFF ANY GUILTY FEELINGS. U are definitely still a child of the Beloved Father. Amen! ❤️🙌✝️
Thank you both for the love, support, and pearls of wisdom. Be Blessed
1:10-3:39 ❤️
I just went through something similar but it wasn’t me stopping myself forming praying for someone, it was my boyfriend that stopped me, so I prayed to myself for her, blew it towards her then as I was leaving the restaurant, the lady and I locked eyes and smiled at each other. I felt so bad that I let my boyfriend stop me.
Forgive yourself but not that feeling.
Monica I'm not certain what the circumstances were surrounding your boyfriend stopping you from praying for the woman that you mentioned. But take it as a learning experience to know to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit first and foremost. And please remember the scripture that says "Therefore there is now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus." We all miss it sometimes but it's what we do after realizing that we've missed it or made a mistake that matters.🙏🏾❤
@@EmorettaRobinson thank you, I really appreciate the words. May God bless you.
@@tenacious1 I did ask God to forgive me and I don’t beat myself up for it but thank you so much. May God bless you.
@@monicamo3styles313 you're welcome. ❤
AMEN AND AMEN!! YES LORD!!!!
Beautifully said
Powerful!
Wow! I just love Pastor Stephanie! 😭
Powerful
Beautiful 💕
Yesss. I love the transparency and the lessons in the situation.
Thank you!
This is incredible
Thank you Pastor Stephanie for your powerful testimony!
To be honest.I have grieved the holy spirit many times cause I feel like I'm not ready.Im so scared to step out of my comfort zone like for real.The holy spirit has asked me to do many things.Deep down I do want to do these things.Like who wouldn't want to help people and represent God to his people what a great pleasure.Like I could have had so many encounters with God's people but because I was scared and because I felt I was not ready I missed them.I don't even know what I need, someone to pray for me or someone to talk to me At this point I'm don't know what to do
Thing's like that happens to me but we gotta be filled up with the lord and knowledge so we can preach
You might need deliverance if you feel likes it’s a spiritual blockage deliverance never hurts.
Fear has been a spirit operating in my life since I was little. Everything I’ve done for Lord I’ve obeyed but it’s been out of a place of fear not faith. Yes I did it but I did it because I was scared of God.
Amen🙏💯
At first I did not understand why I would feel horrible after not doing what is in my spirit now Steph made it clear and I would feel horrible it's so not good feeling

Can we please have the full episode🙏🙏
just curious, please I dont understand and would love to know....does Angels look like human beings here on earth?. do they appear through us?. that is, through me and you like hebrew 13:3 says or through things that appear like coincidences or hands of God etc.
Who did Jacob wrestle?
@@jdfodio genesis 32::22-31, referenced that he wrestled God. Hose 12:3-5, made mention of jacob wrestling God and Angel. Well it's also a good angle to look at it.
Thanks
God using me and idk what hes going to do is kind boggling lil
I feel the same thing with me I'm scared
Here's a random question : as a black person is it ok to eat in your dreams
It’s not good to eat in your dreams period. Unless the Holy Spirit gives you something to eat.
