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!
In this video, I'm sharing with you some of the holy habits that have helped me get my life together and return to God. From prayer to fasting to reading the bible, these habits have helped me grow closer to God and change my life for the better! If you're looking for tips on how to get your life together, then you need to watch this video! Melody Alisa shares with you her experiences and tips on how to return to God and get your life on track. These holy habits may seem difficult at first, but trust me - they're worth it!
hey, sis! so what should our 8th holy habit be to get back on track?! 👀
I'm thinking: 30 minutes of intentional *silent* time. No music, no podcast, no TV - 30 minutes of total silence every day to clear the airwaves to hear from God.
I just set an alarm for 30 mins of quiet time with God everyday. Thank you for this holy habit🤍
I’m a new subscriber!! Thank you so much for this video, I love your atmosphere and personality! I just wanted to know if you said there’s a period tracker app you recommend for keeping track of our hormones? If not could you recommend one? ❤
That one is a great idea I think that would be great imma try it
8th Holy Grl Habit *Spend intimacy with the lord either in a prayer closet, your vehicle, maybe cooking/baking in the kitchen. Just getting yourself back on track with doing the little things that bring you joy.
I love that! I’m going to add that one because it’s always noise around me it’ll be a great challenge to silence everything
I like to only go on Social Media on the weekends and try to be mindful of what I eat. I feel closer to God when I eat cleaner. 😊
I feel that!! Eating cleaner and staying from social media definitely helps you to be mindful of God throughout the day🤍
Social media is taking a lot of my time
Same. Specially with the clean eating. I feel like im a better vessel and communication with God is clearer when im mindful of what I eat. My only problem is I go in and out of a cycle of clean eating and binging bad foods :/
@@Cherryblossoms702 Same! I have these cycles that I am working on breaking. Especially after a fast, I tend to binge eat junk foods.
Ooohhh only getting on social media on the wknds is something I’m definitely going to incorporate! I did a 30dat fast from it and in that time I found this channel and really worked on strengthening my relationship with God. Since the fast has finished I’ve found myself slipping back into getting on it more and more🥴. I appreciate this suggestion!
Literally getting back on track. I’m getting baptized this coming Sunday
Amen!!! Glad you’re taking this next step in your faith!
Congratulations!!! I have been feeling convicted to get baptized recently. Seeing another sister in the Lord on fire for God encourages me to be too🙏🏾
Wow! Happy for you! 🤍
God be praised 🙏🏼
Congrats!!!
Finding a prayer circle would be a great addition. The enemy attacks us in isolation so turning to a trusted brother is sister in Christ for support in prayer would be so helpful
Whoever reading this, God never sends you into a situation alone, God goes before you, He stands beside you, He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have right now be confident. God is with you. Amen 🙏❤🙌
Amen
I would say making a habit of being vulnerable with God during our secret place time and just throughout our day, like even though He already knows what's going on just being intentional about letting Him in on how we're feeling allows us to feel closer to Him, I think! ❤
This is absolutely true!!
That’s a great point. This slows allows another level of honesty with ourselves. Allows his light to shine in the places we don’t talk about to go into. Praise the lord ♥️👑
❤
Thank you for this video Melody. I think my number 8 is definitely accepting where I am now, and being okay with that by taking one step at a time, day by day. And noticing the season I’m in, and where God has brought me during this time, what he’s showing me and what he wants me to focus on during this current time. And truly giving him all of my worries and ALL my concerns, not just bits and pieces of it. Knowing that in due time, those things I’m worried about will come to pass and be taken care of, and really just paying attention to today.
Love this Sis❤
So well said, I'm feeling this too. Thank you 🙏🤍🌹
This is gracious what you said. You are not alone I feel you 🙏🏾❤️
yesss i love this❤ this is me
so beautiful! reminds me of Matthew 6:34!
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” (msg)
Make a prayer closet! One that encourages you and excites you to meet God in a literal secret place ❤
Getting back on track for me is daily praise worship first before I even begin to pray and ask God for anything. Just enter his gates with thanksgiving and enter his court with praise. ✝️🙌🏾🙏🏾
This video was EVERYTHING! For me an 8th habit would be to build and stick to a night time routine. I really do want to get in the habit of waking up early instead of making excuses and a night routine will help me prioritize that
8th habit: Plan each day with The Lord. Ask Him how He would like your day to go. It keeps you in routine, focused and productive. When you allow The Holy Spirit to plan each day, He will include time with Him. Having a consistent routine with Him at the centre will get you back on track with Him.
This! So important
I did this 40 day word fast last year and truly benefited from it:
4️⃣0️⃣ Day W⚪️RD Fast
complaining
criticism
gossip
judgment
negativity
sarcasm
“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? “Then you shall call, and the Lord shall answer; you shall cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness”
Isaiah 58:6;9 ESV
Habit 8th should be routine cleaning, making it a habit to clean once a week or two weeks ,sometimes in order to de clutter our minds we have to declutter our home , cleanliness is next to godliness
Reading a scripture daily and writing your interpretation of it and how you can apply it to your life. ❤
Talking about my sabbath! As an Adventist it is always a delight. Living in the moment and enjoying the day has been possible for me through the blessings of sabbath
It's truly the gift God knew we needed!
@@MelodyAlisa indeed!
Saturday is my resting day after a tiring 5 days of work. I just sleep, pray, read bible and eat. That's my real sabbath. Sunday is my church day. I thank God for that rest.
Relocating to a city where people work so much without rest has made me more grateful to God for the sabbath . He sure knew we needed that pause
@@chidinmamelodyemea9563 exactly Sis!
Have a date night with Yeshua (Jesus). Take Him bowling, out for a picnic, etc.. 💕
Holy habit I’ve incorporated recently is letting my bible be the first thing I pick up to read in the morning
I've really been trying to get back on track lately also. I recently moved into a new house, and all the chaos surrounding that has really thrown me off course.
Habit number 8 for me would be... Being gracious with myself. Getting off track means I'm not doing as I used to. I'm not performing well in my relationship with God. 😅 Funny how God doesn't think of it like that. And also remembering that God hates waste so no experience even mistakes will be used for his glory. And that God is very intentional with us in every moment. ❤
Read scripture once a day, one way I got back on track in the past
Number 8 serve somewhere. Whether at church or just somewhere outside of your home.
The 8th one for me is definitely to not just spend time with the Lord to check it off the to do list but to intentionally spend time with the Father
Waking up earlier has been one of my goals. Not where I want to be yet, but Im improving. I will definitely ask God what to fast from from now on. I really thought it was mainly food or drinks. Number 7 is my favourite. Thank you for this video Melody. It really blessed me. 💖 Also, I love your idea for number 8. I will definitely be implementing it.
My 8th holy habit would be prioritizing prayer time:) Prayer is so important with guarding our hearts, and keeping others in prayer is amazing, I really believe the prayers of others are what kept me going in this walk.. As well as seeing how God has picked up the people I've been praying for and I believe that God is moved by prayer so if we build our faith by praying and fasting like it says in Matt 17:20-21 we will truly see how God can make a difference in this world!!
Thank you for these amazing tips! #4 was incredibly helpful to help me get out of this -period funk-💗
An 8th tip is using a habit tracker you can fill in each month- to be used as an extra sense of accountability!
I really needed this video today. From the very first point, I felt both convicted and attacked 😂😂 Thank you so much, Melody!
My no.8 would be having a routine that works for ME, not for anyone else. Sometimes, I think we're so focused on how other people do things or that our timelines are moving a lot slower than everyone else around us, and we try to force our feet into shoes that don't fit. Building such personal routines (following the Bible) can help us rely on God's timing and appreciate each moment as we live it.
Number 8 would be to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you execute the 7 points you would like to achieve. Without him we can do nothing.🙏🏽 I have learnt new things from your points Melody, thanks sis 🌺
Loving these holy habits!! Never even heard of cycle syncing…time to do some research 🧐👩🏽💻
So many of your points were aligning with what God has been showing me! The television is definitely a struggle for me. Multiple times I felt like God was telling me I could only watch tv with my husband so hearing your experience I’m like “I HEAR YOU GOD” 😂
Thank you for your obedience; it serves as encouragement to us sis. You’re appreciated! ❤️
Alsoooo, Holy Habit #8: WORSHIP! Taking the time to remind ourselves Who God is and praising & worshipping Him for being Who He is! 🙌🏼
I think my 8th holy habit is to do the things I know to do that keeps my mind at peace and that would be to consistently practice gratitude (outwardly and gratitude journal) as well as speaking and writing my affirmations. BTW love this video. Thank you for the accountability beautiful. Be blessed
I love the idea of cycle syncing and will definitely learn more about it.
My Holy habit that really gets me on track is going for Mass every morning at 6am. Sometimes I want to use the time for exercise, but it just more fulfilling going for morning Mass.
One my Holy habit is also eating less often.
There's something about this habit that just keeps really aware.
Girl, you're always making videos about something I'm going through! I appreciate your videos a lot
Hello Mrs. Melody! I thank God for your Knowledge, Wisdom and TH-cam Channel! I’ve allowed myself to get off track. And now I’m feeling condemnation and feeling like I can’t get back on track. But listening to your TH-cam channel has given me relief that I can get back on track with my walk in God. I hurts me so to disappoint God but I know God loves us so much that He is always there with open arms. Blessings to you!
Thank God for you, Melody. I recently started watching and you have helped me a lot. I literally break out a jotter and write things down as I watch. I am part of the get back on track club. I really needed this video. I feel like I just let myself get so distracted in the recent weeks and I needed this call back to intentionally with God. Thank you for this.
Choosing hope saved my life. I was just saying a prayer of gratitude for this gift of hope. Thanks for doing this series- I hope many more people see this and are blessed by these reminders. Thanks for hearing Gods calling to create this channel.
Whew, 4-6 are for me!!! Right before you said tv, it was already in my spirit. HELP ME LORD! Thanks so much for sharing, Melody!
Thank you so much for this video, it really helped me alot being a young girl trying to find her way to christ. I do not come from a background where God was a topic so I am trying to find my grounding. The 6th step really is what I struggle with so hearing that confirmation was really what I needed to be able to stand firm in my decision to leave social media, change the music I listen to, and to change my form of entertainment. It is going to challenge me but it will all work out.
Thank you for helping us young women on this journey to finding christ and for allowing us to have a community ( safe place) to be able to come and learn from each other.
My 8th holy habit would be prioritizing personal family and business time making sure I am stewarding everything God has given me. Thank you for sharing this information was helpful ❤
Your previous advice of incorporating silence is something I need to start doing again! I let everything cloud my thoughts; music, podcasts, even videos! I need to take more time to just sit with God. ❤
Love these 7 habits.
I would say to add #8 -Be intentional about setting and keeping quiet sacred time with God. Actually make that time as busy in your agenda.
My 8th habit would be sitting quietly before the Lord.
Wow, this was such a blessing!! Thank you Mrs. Melody for being used by God to deliver this timely message. I feel like the eighth holy girl habit would be to keep God first in EVERYTHING you do. The Lord has showed me that in order to achieve peace and joy in this life, He must be first because then He will give us the desires of our hearts 🥰
I do just want to say the sabbath should be on Saturday! ❤ Jesus died on Friday, RESTED on Saturday, then rose on Sunday.
Sunday is the first day on the calendar, Saturday is the 7th day and God says to keep the 7th holy. I loved your video!
I needed this video! I always like your videos but never comment. Today you spoke to me and I have saved it as my favorite! Thank you for being this voice that I forsure know I need on TH-cam!!
Definitely a great video to have book marked to keep referring back to. Thanks sis ☺
Love it! Just want I needed, thank you so much for sharing . Especially when you were getting into the menstrual cycle . I too felt the same way and I struggled with it because I wanted to still go to the gym but i wasn’t able to do much and it was a little frustrating. Thank you for the tips I thought it was just me 😁🥰
Perfect
This was so good sis! The Lord has definitely been telling me to get back on track with waking up early again in the mornings! The going to bed early part is where I am seeing resistance! But I will keep striving! Spending my mornings with Jesus makes such a huge difference in my day & life overall.
I needed all these tips! Thank you for always being transparent by reminding us that we are not alone in this journey. 💕
Oh my, that's wxactly what I needed
Thank you Melody. God is using you in a Blessed way ❤
Yes! Your videos are always confirming! I wrote in my journal on November 9th I want to honor the Sabbath! Definitely pushed it off so thank you for this 🤎
This was very edifying sis. Thank you for being obedient to the call
God bless you ✨ Such powerful tips 🙏
Thank you for number 7 been finding it hard to forgive myself
Thank you Melody ☺️❤
Finally got to see this after 3 days. Love this.
This was for me😭😭😭, especially #7. God bless you 🕊️💕🙏🏾
1. Get up early to spend time with God and prepare for day.
2. Have a sabbath day of rest and time to draw nearer to God.
3. Fast often, especially when the Lord prompts.
4. Monitor hormones and be aware of cycle.
5. Set self apart and guard heart.
6. Seek God's perspective on relationship.
I am so blessed by your videos! Thank you! 💗
Thanks for this video for sure!!
This is sooooooooooo gooooooodddddd ❤
Your spirit is amazing 🙏🏽
Love you Melody❤❤❤
This is so so good! I took notes haha. For me, I would say being honest. Also, being mindful.
#8 for me is having a plan for my quiet time with God, so I’m excited and prepared for that time. A book in the Bible, another book, a topic, etc.
Beautiful video. Sabbath rest is the same for everyone sunset to sunset. Never changed, try and find it in the Bible, it never changed 😊
Thank you for this video!!
Start creating shorts for your page. ❤ This will be a great short remix.
I will add having quiet devotion time. Bible study and then prayer. Preferably morning hrs
Hey Melody...thank-you for this Sis
Thank you for your inspiring content Melody ❤️
Hoart Benom
Thank you 🥰
Thank You in Gods willing I stay on track from now on ❤🙏
You look so cute with your hair like this and the lip gloss is a pretty color on you too!
Wow CHOOSING TO HAVE HOPE
I've recently fasted .. I need to make it a consistent habit.
The Sabbath is from Friday sunset 🌇 to Saturday night sunset. A sign of the Covenant between Abba Yahweh and Israel, His chosen people.
Habit 8: Daily Gratitude before bed.
I am just trying to continue getting closer to God.
8. Let God hydrate us. But just water.
I definitely want to get closer to God in the coming years so I’ve been watching a lot of these videos. Love the habits but I just want caution you and all those watching the video, that although technically you could devote any day to God, the Bible is clear that the 7th day (Saturday) is God’s true Sabbath that is intended for us to pause from work, rest and reflect on Him. Genesis 2:3 and Exodus 20:11 (just to name two 😊). May God be with us all as we continue on or start our Christian walk!
my job is my work out lol , 5 days a week! Bout to be 4 though...hopefully. Thank God!
Journaling. Write your prayers in your journal and when God answers write that too; so you can always have something to reference when you are waiting for him to answer the next request.
Listening to a Christian podcast while getting ready for work or school
love you
Hi, Melody! I’n a new subscriber and I LOVE your content. I don’t know if you’ve done this already, but I would love to see a video or series about trusting your intuition, discernment, hearing and knowing how to obey the voice of GOD. This is something I have challenges with in my spiritual journey. I want to know how to tell if it really is GOD leading me or is it me leading me. I would love to hear your thoughts on that.
I really enjoy your channel. May God continue to work through you and teach so that you transform and open the minds of many others as they come upon your channel and in life.
Now why don’t no one ever consider people who work night shift 😂. I’m already up early for I’m just getting off work at 6am. Also I really want to learn more about my cycle 😢 honestly my cycle is when I do the most sin but as I grow closer with Jesus it has got WAY better (thank the Lord) but being on my period was a big downfall. And me being diagnosed bipolar it’s hard. Having mental illness I wish Christian talk about that little more.
I think my N°8 is cutting off to much K-dramas on Netflix, few days ago the LORD spoke to me about this before and I just pushed it aside cause I thought it was just mind being way too audible but now after listening to you talk about all these "tips on getting back on track with LORD" I found out that it was actually God speaking back then, so I'm grateful that I watch this. I realised I need to recommit to my "4pm spend time with Jesus Bible study & worship moments" again; thanks Mrs. Melody, these tips really help.
Wow me too w kdramas on netflix
The Sabbath is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.
Number 8 could be prayer journaling
Do you have a video on how to intentionally get into Bible study and read it. What religion are you? Any recommendations? I’ve been learning to be in tune with my mind, body and spirit especially during my cycle
I want to visit the sea side e.g the beach at least twice a week to meditate.
Oh good one fasting from complaining. I feel so bad I complain constantly to my husband and vent to him. I can tell it’s not fair so I got to stop. Plus it’s not helping me.
❤
Have you ever consider the 7th day Sabbath mentioned in the 10 commandments ?
So I’ve seen a lot of people saying things like observe some type of sabbath when God only called us to observe ONE sabbath .The fourth commandment says to remember the sabbath day to keep it holy six’s days do your labor but the seventh is Gods. The sabbath was established at the beginning long before the Jewish nation was established. And I encourage you all to do your history on how the sabbath has been attacked from Saturday to Sunday. If you really want to know how to sabbath look at Christ. Don’t say well Christ was a Jew, so that doesn’t apply, the Bible says in Matthew 12:8 says “For the Son of Man is even Lord of the sabbath day” . I urge you all to earnestly praying ask God to reveal the true sabbath to you and how it has been a manipulated by religious political powers over history. A great resource is Amazing facts and I encourage you all to PRAY to God and has him for guidance before you respond. Because I share this with an intention of us all going back to Gods word and asking HIM for guidance. Know the word for yourself that others can’t deceive you.
Beautiful house
Oh wow thank you! My comment keeps disappearing. I dont know what you mean by telegram, I hope a reply to your comment is ok! Thank you very much!
Hmmm,. I'm considering an 8th habit of aligning with my spiritual sisters more, this may mean moving out of my comfort zone to meet new people and committing to the process as a holy habit. Thoughts?
I have a question!! is that one show you watch The Chosen?I know everybody and they mama is on it now that the new episodes are coming out😂 I've been feeling the same way lately honestly about tv shows/movies
1. Waking up early
2. Observing some type of Sabbath
Don't observe some type of sabbath but The sabbath That is True! Only That which has been instructed by our Heavenly Father!
Hey! I have a question. Why did you choose Friday as your Sabbath instead of Saturday? The Bible says the seventh day is the Sabbath. Is that something different?
On your Sabbath do you take it with God? Like do you try and focus on God on your Sabbath? And how?
