Such an important topic. Sometimes as a young person I struggle with knowing God’s will but I made a personal list that I want to share with you all!! How to know if something is God’s will. 1. Ask God to confirm 2. Seek Godly counsel 3. Do you have peace about it 4. Does it line up with scripture 5. Does it line up with your life goals & values (from the Lord) 💜 From a Christian TH-camr 💜
Bring it to God to confirm through scripture! A good question to ask as well is does our life goals and values align with God? Thank you for sharing this is helpful for so many!
As has already been replied I would question the point about life goals and values. Our life goals should be to be like Christ and out values should be God's values. Both of those things are in scripture.
Honestly, I needed this video so bad. This really humbled me. I have so much time on my hands and yet I don’t read The Word as much as I should. I do read The Bible in the mornings but when I do, I don’t leave feeling like I learned something. I just lazily read my way through which is NOT the way to go about reading The Word. I’ve been praying, “Lord, help me get closer to you this week. Show me something through your word”, but how can I get closer to him if I don’t seek him? How can I learn something through The Word if I don’t open my eyes to it, if I remain with my eyes closed? Thank you so much for this video because it really shined a light into the conviction I’ve been having about where I am in reading The Word. May this video bless everyone! God bless all of y’all! 💗💗💗
You described me and my feeling exactly!! Thank you for this reply and thank you TAYLOR for this video! Today is Easter Monday, the Lord is Risen and I am so thankful and blessed!!
This has been me for what seems like a long time now, it’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one struggling with this. Thank you for putting into words what I couldn’t. God bless you! 💕
"I never want to read your Word and walk away hearing what I want to hear." Yes! Praise the Most High! "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Adonai and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones." -Proverbs 3:7-8
*Here are my notes (feel free to write it in your journal! :)* *John 10:1-10* *Jesus is speaking* * He calls you by name (direct, personal) * His voice is meant to lead you * Jesus desires his sheep to respond to his voice *Jesus goes ahead of you* * He expects you to follow Him* - The sheep follow Him because they know His voice - Jesus is not calling us to follow Him blindly - Jesus is expecting us to follow Him because you know Him, His voice, His character, and His heart for you as your loving father * He expects you to know no strangers voice* - Turn your ears away from the voices of the world (Guard your heart) - Pray for reverence of God’s word - I have access to all the riches of God’s blessings in abundance RIGHT NOW - Take out things distracting you from God - The thief comes to steal (Ex: our time with God and in fellowship with other believers), kill, and destroy (sin) *The sheep that know their Shepherd can discern his voice:* * Take inventory of things I need to shed in order that Christ become number one in my life - The word of God needs to have higher place in my life - Quiet time: Be quiet and listen to God’s word - Journal our prayers to God *Summary* * Let the Holy Spirit move * Be engaged and grounded in His Word * Strip away the things that are leading you away from Him through being in constant prayer and constant communion and fellowship with God in His word
This video has changed my life .. I’m speechless. Not only did I feel freedom while watching I felt my chains breaking throughout the video.. As soon as it ended I deleted social media and prayed to God for this to happen in my life that He is the one I want to follow over everything else. I can’t thank you enough. The conviction was R.E.A.L.
My exact thoughts! I’m about to delete my social media after watching this video. I have never felt so convicted in my life. Definitely life changing. Thank you Taylor! Such a powerful message. Time to remove the distractions and focus on God’s Word. Not going to lie, I got a little teary eyed watching this video. Your passion and love for God is beautiful. And I just want you to know that what you’re doing is truly making a difference. I’ve been struggling to draw closer to God and I know it’s all these distractions that I allow to clutter my life. I really needed to hear this. It’s given me the courage to do what needs to be done and for that, I am so thankful. God is good. God Bless! ❤️
OH, social media. I deleted my "beloved" Instagram a while ago.. haha!! It was so strange to delete it... because honestly I was so attached to it, with all my photos/memories...But I knew it wasn't worth it. And honestly how disgusting that it was that hard to delete... It's just an app. And I haven't really missed it, and I feel freer than ever from it. So anyone debating to delete their social media because it's quite literally stealing and sucking all the life from you!! !!DELETE IT, my friend!! There is so much more joy in just living your life, being present, being content, and loving where the Lord has you rather than being so distracted by social media!!
I hope this blesses some... 🙏 I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. I open up about my journey and I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊🙌🏼 *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🔥 *All things are possible with God*
So refreshing hearing a young lady speaking like this with such wisdom! Lord, thank You for what you are doing with Your young ones in this generation! 🙏🏼
So relatable, I decided to delete my sims game on my computer because I'd spent HOURS and would push off reading the Bible and taking time alone with him. Tysm needed this
Tailor, you are in tune with the Holy Spirit, I am so grateful to hear a young lady giving all for Jesus Christ , you words were convicting for youth and older people as well, Glory be to Jesus
Hi, I have to admit that I have put everything before God. I have a problem with food, with social media, with just myself and I’m so sad because of it. I need to spend time with Jesus who gave His life for me as well as the whole world.
You are so right. I had to delete Facebook. I also watched too much TV and I shut out the Holy Spirit telling me to turn it off. I repent of that. Father, please help me to listen to your voice and not the voices of strangers, including TV, social media and food. In Jesus's name. AMEN x
I needed to hear this! I watched the entire video and let me tell you, every single word touched my heart. I’ve been letting myself be chained under the bondage of anxiety and obsessive actions. Doors I thought were closed were reopened. I’ve been allowing voices in my head to speak lies about my self-worth. I’ve allowed myself to be consumed with selfishness and fearfulness. I’ve neglected my quiet time. This is not the pattern I want to keep up and this video spoke VOLUMES to me. I’ve been carrying around so much UNNECESSARY baggage and I didn’t surrender fully to the Lord. God has reminded me AGAIN that I can’t do it all on my own. If I want to live my life with peace and joy, I MUST depend solely on the Holy Spirit. God is so faithful even when we are faithless!
Wow. Needed this. I’ve been feeling stagnant and like my walk is at a standstill. God used this to show me I need to reevaluate my life and see what I’m putting ahead of Him that is keeping me stuck. I wrote down the daily prayer: God refine me. Search my heart. Jesus I want you #1 in my life. Strip away anything ahead of you in my life. STRIP - IT - AWAY! Thank you for this video!
Hi Taylor. This is my second comment. Had to let you know I felt blessed to hear this. Don’t hold back when God leads you to do a longer video please do. There’s a good reason for it. God bless you and everyone reading this.
This was everything. Breakthrough with our relationship with God. Not a breakthrough in things or people, but in our relationship with God. This is exactly what we need in order to have breakthrough in every area of our lives. Thank you for your obedience in feeding us this mighty word from daddy.
A lot of us are in this spot and you are not alone. God has got you! He is our provider and our shepherd. Let us dedicate our hearts to prayer and reading God's word!
@@coffeeandbibletime God worked today! I have been keeping a journal and something I prayed about so much 5 days ago God has brought to fruition without me even expecting it or understanding over the few days until today. The spirit delights in repentance that’s for sure.
God keep talking to me about surrender, I even did a class on surrender with the same points you spoke on thr video YESTERDAY! No more procrastination... time to work correctly
I'm at the time in my journey where God is telling me to cut out any secular media. I have been resisting because I wasn't watching anything bad, and I still dedicate time for the Lord almost every day. It is time that I could be going deeper into my relationship with God though. I've been hearing this message everywhere and now here. I'm surrendering now, Lord. Forgive me for taking so long.
We love you so much beloved The God who convicted, delivered and filled you with His truth is faithful. Glory be to Him in the name of Jesus Christ forever and ever. We love you 🤗😘
if you not only watch this video in its entirety, but ACTUALLY write down the bullet points exactly how Taylor shows it on video, this video will COMPLETLY change the way you view how God communicates with you. This video is VERY humbling! Thank you Taylor!
Girl, you moved me to tears.. GOD is my Father. I related to you saying. “Strip away the things that keep you from Him. I got to thinking about that in my life. I am remolding my house, and I am having a corner with my rolltop desk I hv devoted to my time with my Father God. His word is “is” so precious. Sometimes when we don’t listen to His voice we miss out on blessings He wants to give us. And I don’t want to miss out on anything He has for me. Right! May God Bless you always, ke ep spreading His word. You are His sheep. Lov always, in Christ, Lin
This is crazy because this morning my boyfriend was telling me about how he read John chapter 10 this morning and got confused by it so he had to re read it a couple of times. Thank you so much for posting this message and your experience!! I love these types of videos and I pray that God blesses you and your family 💓💓💓
Since my husband passed away 8 months ago I have to admit sometimes I don’t pray like I should. I am just sad! I pray for God to take away my heartache, but I guess this is my season for struggle. Thank you for such a lovely and powerful video.
Lord our God is near to the brokenhearted. ❤️ I pray that God will help you delight in his words in this season of your life. Things may get tough, but we are progressing to a day when the Lord will wipe away all of our tears. Let's run this race with our eyes fixed on the Lord, our Jesus❤️ May the Lord give strength to you. In our saviour Jesus's name, Amen.
am this is my dads account that am using but i am greatfull that i did because it has reminded me of how important my quiet time with JESUS CHRIST is ,and how loving and caring HE is that HE gave HIS PRECIOUS LIFE and died for me on the cross and is risen this has given me hope
You know I agree with you Taylor 100 % because not all people please hear me out y’all but people now days go to the Bible and see what they can get out of it and .but really God gave us his word so we can get to know him more and want to get closer to him God bless everyone reading the comments 🤍💜 hope you have a wonderful day or night
Thank you for this message. I’ve been so selfish and full of denial of my sin for a long time now, all my life even, and yet still God with all His love and mercies keeps telling me and showing me that it needs to change- I need to change. And I’m so so thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for the second chance I’ve been given because without HIM I would be dead. Physically, emotionally, mentally, and especially spiritually dead. As a born-again Christian I pray in my heart continually for God to strip away all my idols and to give Him the glory He deserves. And this video also helped me recognize some more idols that I give a pass to. So Again thank you forever and thank the LORD who convicted me to see this now. God bless you :,,D!!!
Thank you Taylor for this gift❤️ There were a lot of voices in my head which confused me and actually led me away from the Lord. It gave me some random commands and I felt guilty for not obeying. By the Lord’s grace, I can now tell confidently that - if something leads me away from my shepherd, it's not the Lord's voice , it's the thief's. Thank you so much. May the Lord Bless you abundantly. Let's meet one day in the Lamb's kingdom ❤️ In Jesus's blessed name, Amen.
Sometimes fasting from our interests or hobbies, whether they be food, social media, streaming films/shows, or anything else, is essential to discerning God's voice. It forces us to create time in our day we otherwise would not have given to God so that we can use that time to focus on God and listen to His voice with no distraction. Fasts are usually temporary, but if the change improves one's life dramatically they can become permanent. It is important to always realize that our Heavenly Father, the Good Shepherd, is the Highest Good and we should surrender and have Him guide our lives.
This video was so powerful and impactful. The part that hit me was “surrender” and “strip away.” Those are both powerful prayers to pray and can seem hard at first but it so worth it. This definitely was a video the youth needed to see because it’s real, it’s genuine, and it’s a side I never seen of you before and I loved that. I pray you put out more raw videos like this again, I definitely felt something.♥️♥️
Thank you for this Powerful message, I have been distracted by TH-cam and found God calling me to his word but I was ignoring him, today this was what I needed to hear! May Gob Bless your Ministry and gives you the desires of your heart! Xxx
Thank you for Angela! "Prone to wander Lord I feel it..." I think we all get distracted in life. There is no condemnation and shame now that you are in Christ, but what a wonderful path of sanctification (becoming more like Christ) we can be on together.
I accidentally hit dislike first. But immediately changed it. I love your content. I love your openness and rawness in this video. God's timing is so perfect because I needed this right now!
Just wanted you to know that your " tangent" was such a wake up call to me. I feel like the Holy Spirit was speaking through you to me directly. Thank you so much for this video. God bless you! and continue to use you to inspire His church.
Thank you for your sharing. This video makes me feel guilty when I don't really put God first in my life. I deleted my facebook right now and focus on God more, not love, not money, not entertainments.
So so so right about deleting social media (especially instagram and twitter). Its a benefit for anyone who finally deletes it. No one who did it regreted it afterwards. No one ever ! Thank you for this msg
I have twitter but only use if needed which is hardly ever. YT I use more for decluttering (Josh Becker).And news items and can/need to reduce my time there.
AMEN TAYLOR🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 LET THE SPIRIT USE YOU!!!🤍🤍🤍 If this is crazy !? stay crazy boo!!!! This is beautiful to watch!!! It is so healing and clearing to cut it all out and give it all to GOD!! Yeshua said "I have food to eat you don't know about" John 4:32 Let us be fed by the bread of life our Lord not by things of this world!! May God Bless & Keep you always Taylor!! Keep spreading his MIGHTY AND POWERFUL WORD 🙌🏾🤍🙏🏾✝️🕊
Tay!!!!!!! I literally was planning to go back on Instagram TODAY after being a year without it thinking maybe it’s time to come back.. 😭 God literally used this video (which i resisted to watch at first) to snatch me back and remind me of His voice. God bless you 🙏🏼
GIRLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! God is faithful and worthy of all of us and my encouragement is to continue following the lead of the Holy Spirit in your life. Take everything back to scripture and the heart of God. He loves you my friend! I am glad we can bear his image together and run the race of life with endurance spurring each other on!
Wow I need to put God before food! I hadn’t realized how excited I get to cook and how anxious I feel to spend time with God because I’m worried that my family is acting like they’re worried about me as if something is wrong with me.
I never comment but GIRL this spoke to me so deeply! You’re not crazy you’re spirit filled! Thank you so much for obeying Him and listening to His voice.🔥 God bless you, love from France!
Wow Taylor- it’s so beautiful to see you growing in Christ and how passionate you’ve become. That’s truly a testimony within itself! & so beautiful to see! Praise God!! Thanks for pointing us back to his word- his love story! 💕 may we keep getting to new levels in him and be transformed by his word. Thanks for the reminder and encouragement sister!! 🤗💕✝️🎉
I woke up this morning feeling lost and desperate, and now I feel hopeful! I am ready to allow God to take control in my life. I am ready to take action.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart. I’ve been in quarantine these past few days due to having Covid and I made the decision that I wanted to use this time for growth instead of using other things to distract me and pass time. I’ve been convicted to stop binge watching certain shows. They are not edifying to the Lord and my growing relationship with Him.
As someone who has recovered from binging I have a suggestion for you. Lift weights, and desire to be strong. Just like how baptism is an outward representation of our new walk with life, our strength should be too. As Christian’s we should be the examples to the world. A shining beacon of health. By lifting weights, you will want to build muscle. And just naturally fixate on eating enough protein to be stronger. And that doesn’t really leave a lot of room for the addictive foods. When you use food to build muscle you start seeing it as a fuel, as it is meant to be. There are many groups out there that emphasize faith and fitness so we can be the example for the world, and to show God our gratefulness for our bodies. Our bodies are our temples and we should strive to be as strong as god makes us.
Uh wow, thank you so much. As well for your honesty about the struggles. God healed me by his grace from my eating disorder when I was about 17. From one day to another. Long time before I turned to him completely. But I always felt that he is there, and in that situation with the eating disorder, one day he suddenly spoke to me so clearly, that this "lie" in my brain did fade away immediately. It's like he wiped it out. But first I had to say "yes, you're right, it's wrong and has to stop".
Had this video playing on my tv and started uninstalling apps and setting app lock timers while watching 😅🙌 This has been exactly what I needed to hear. I got so caught up in distraction I didn't realise how bad it was!
Thank you so much for being willing to be used by Jesus to speak sbout these things and God's truths in a loving but firm, direct, & challenging way! I was so convicted & very encouraged. I'm very thankful to our God that you are honoring Him as a young woman of your generation to love your peers, by speaking honestly of your struggles & convictions. The love & concern for your brothers & sistrrs in Christ is evident! May Almighty LORD GOD continue to strengthen you by His Spirit, to serve Him in whatever ways He directs you.
This is a #word Tay! Thank you for sharing this and allowing the Holy Spirit to use you! I’m convicted as I type this. Just the other day as I was locking up my place in the morning about to leave to go to the gym and feeling so smug about my dedication to exercise, and then literally out of nowhere, I heard the Holy Spirit say “only if you’d be so dedicated to your quiet time as well”. I literally just paused and allowed that to sink in! It’s so easy to prioritize other things but our time with God. We need not squeeze in God in our timetables but rather put Him in the Centre of our lives.
mmmmmm wow I can relate to this Kuhle! Thank you for sharing this- so relatable and let's praise God for his grace and forgiveness and loving-kindness and patience.
This comment speaks facts and I can totally relate to this. Lately I've been giving God scraps of my time. I haven't been giving Him the quality time that He deserves which does get to me because I know He's constantly knocking at my door waiting for me to open so He dines with me but all I do is ignore and run to things which will never sustain me. But you know what the good thing is? He's patiently and graciously waiting for me to run back to Him and I'll do so after watching this video. Thank you for the video Tay and thank you Kuhle for bringing this comment forth :)
Love this content today.Thank you. I have to distract myself from food as I have OMD one meal a day. I will go for walks or make a coffee with cream or water as I fast between meals 16-20hrs. Good distractions to bring us back to Him.
Taylor, I felt the Lord speaking through you. I’ve been following y’all since I was in early high school and I am now about to get married. I just want y’all to know y’all have influenced my life so much. I have pursued ministry and y’all have guided me in so many ways. I am using your techniques and tips and passing them on to my girls I’m leading. I love you and Ashley so so much! Thank you for faithfully running after the Lord.
I felt The Lord tell me to watch this video and I am so glad that I did and obeyed Him. I've been distracted and I haven't been pouring my self over His Word like I should. Social media has been a heavy distraction. I need His grace, to help me free from placing social media over Him.
this is so so good!! I have been dwelling on this lately!! I deleted instagram recently & my thought had been “that so long as this distracts my relationship with Christ, I can’t use it.” it’s so freeing!!
Thanks for posting this! I left a comment about how addicted I am to Instagram. I know I need to delete it but it has such a stronghold on me. It’s so hard 🥴
Man, talking about conviction and God’s timing. Last night, Pastor Steven Furtick from Elevation preached about getting on my knees and experience God breaking my chains. And now God told me to watch this and I am so convicted right now because there are many things in my life that I am letting it be first and not Him. Social media was one of the biggest ones and I felt off for the whole day today when I constantly went on social media while I was at WDW (because I work there). I deleted three of many social media accounts so far and my flesh is begging me to stay on social media. And also, I am a huge fan of music and watching videos that are not helping me (just for entertainment), and I can tell how it wasn’t helping me at all. Right now, I am scared because I am dealing with not trusting God at this moment, but I believe that He will turn it around and use this as a testimony for His glory. Thank you Taylor for this video.
Hey Taylor❤ Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much I needed this. This video couldn't have come at a better time. I am gonna be real and honest here, but the season that I am going through led me to believing that my relationship with the Lord was not growing. Although I had my quiet times in the morning, I didn't really feel anything. Now I know that i need to cut some things out of my life that are leading me away from God. And I realize that I was so blind to that. Thank you for encouraging me to FULLY SURRENDERING to the Lord. Keep on spreading His Word Blessings to everyone.🙏
Amen Taylor. God truly speak through you in this video, recently I've just been spending so much time on Facebook and not enough in his word and in fellowship with him. I legit saw this video a didn't want to watch it but that said night or early morning, I dreamt I was talking to a group of people and I said to them, "My sheep knows my voice" God is so intentional
Thank you for sharing this. I needed to hear this, and am so thankful you were willing to post your reflections and personal journey. Praise the LORD for his new mercies and his unending grace towards us! He is so good and faithful.
Such a great message. I myself struggle with food. So please pray for me. I just finished a study book over idolatry and boy did I realize how many idols I unknowingly had. One of them food. You are correct if it doesn't help you to glorify God then it needs to go. I am so grateful for Gods transforming Grace ... Because I need his grace daily. I will be praying for your continued strength in letting go of food and anything that doesn't push you toward god. Xoxo God bless you
Hey Chriskari! You are such a beautiful image bearing saint! Glory to God for his patient work in us! I am praying He transforms us to look more like Him, thank you for sharing this!
And I quote, "Come over here, follow me, into my captivity. Now obviously in our modern day an age we are not necessarily shepherding sheep or you know taking care of flocks, which of course I can't speak for you, maybe you do that, that's excellent, umm.." Haha, thank you for making our day. ❣ This was so, so beautiful honestly. God bless you abundantly.
I’m so happy that you came on here and let Jesus use you to give this message. I felt JESUS all day calling me…. 😭I was looking to a man and I feel like it’s time to let go and surrender back to GOD. 🙏🏾
Taylor thank you for sharing this. i am struggling right now with surrendering the sweets they are taking the place of the Lord. I am in a season of will this ever leave. You sharing your heart gives me hope.
Oh my sweet friend... I have had that thought so many times- "will this ever leave" or will it be a thorn in my side? It can feel like such a burden and my heart is just reaching out to you. I will pray for you, this life can be so hard. I am finding strength in Romans 12:9-13, specifically Romans 12:12
Just wow ! To be fully honest when I finished my Bible for the first time I felt like I only had to study verses a bit everyday. It only made me a luckwarm christian what a shame !!!! But it has been around 2 weeks that I read again my Bible, I already feel so close to God. I worship Him, study His Word, listen to many videos and podcast to understand even better. I love Him so much and I want to serve Him everyday.
Thank youuu for this message my beloved sister in Christ! This is EXACTLY what i needed to hear! The Lord really speaks to me in many amazing ways. Keep on being an obedient follower of Jesus 💗
I’ve been so busy with college and I have A LOT going on it’s crazy. My quiet times have fallen through the cracks. I still pray throughout my day of at least try to and play worship music but reading the Word is important. Lately I’ve been trying to get back into things with my quiet time but I leave feeling nothing and I just feel numb and far from God. I really felt encouraged in this video to just sit in the silence with God and just be still with the Word. Thank you Taylor. I will be also be praying and asking if there is anything I need to cut out of my life.
OMG this is so needed....Taylor, it is obvious the Spirit of God is moving you in this direction to encourage the sheep to surrender to the Shepherd. Thank you for your submission and obedience to "seek His face" and share the treasure with us! I too struggle with emotional eating so thank you for your transparency. This is one I will listen to multiple times. God bless you as you walk with Him through your journey at Moody and in the upcoming adventures He takes you through.
Thank you so much for letting God used you, some time I think that is only me suffering from over eating , and trying to cover my feelings with food, because we are so scared to face those feelings, and the only things all this is doing is putting God smaller than my problems and that is not true, Thank you Lord, for always always coming to find this sheep 🐑 when I get lost 😞, thank for this channel where I had found a real passion for Jesus Christ, God Bless you ❤️🙏🏼💐Amen
Im at the 10:44 mark. This video is a confirmation that I asked God for last night. I was speaking of John 10:10 last night and this morning in prayer and worship I prayed "My sheep hear My voice" and declaring that I am His and I hear His voice. Praise God! Praise God. I had to stop the video and go through the text and commune with the Lord real quick. Now I'm back to finish. 😂 God bless you and thank you.
Thank you Jesus! I needed to hear this. I had been praying that God would show me how to hear Him. I also struggle with emotional eating sometimes among other sins. I know that God calls me by name because when I am tempted to sin, I either hear my name being called and think it’s my mom. But I go and ask if she called and she’d say no. Or I either hear gospel songs start playing in my head. To God be the glory!
Such an important topic. Sometimes as a young person I struggle with knowing God’s will but I made a personal list that I want to share with you all!!
How to know if something is God’s will.
1. Ask God to confirm
2. Seek Godly counsel
3. Do you have peace about it
4. Does it line up with scripture
5. Does it line up with your life goals & values (from the Lord) 💜
From a Christian TH-camr 💜
Bring it to God to confirm through scripture! A good question to ask as well is does our life goals and values align with God? Thank you for sharing this is helpful for so many!
As has already been replied I would question the point about life goals and values. Our life goals should be to be like Christ and out values should be God's values. Both of those things are in scripture.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for great notes and your sharing
thank your sharing
Honestly, I needed this video so bad. This really humbled me. I have so much time on my hands and yet I don’t read The Word as much as I should. I do read The Bible in the mornings but when I do, I don’t leave feeling like I learned something. I just lazily read my way through which is NOT the way to go about reading The Word. I’ve been praying, “Lord, help me get closer to you this week. Show me something through your word”, but how can I get closer to him if I don’t seek him? How can I learn something through The Word if I don’t open my eyes to it, if I remain with my eyes closed? Thank you so much for this video because it really shined a light into the conviction I’ve been having about where I am in reading The Word. May this video bless everyone! God bless all of y’all! 💗💗💗
God bless you let's keep pray ..
You described me and my feeling exactly!! Thank you for this reply and thank you TAYLOR for this video! Today is Easter Monday, the Lord is Risen and I am so thankful and blessed!!
I have been feeling the same as well, its really nice to know that i am not alone. This video really helped me.
This has been me for what seems like a long time now, it’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one struggling with this. Thank you for putting into words what I couldn’t. God bless you! 💕
"I never want to read your Word and walk away hearing what I want to hear."
Yes! Praise the Most High!
"Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear Adonai and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your body
and refreshment to your bones."

- The sheep follow Him because they know His voice
- Jesus is not calling us to follow Him blindly

* He expects you to know no strangers voice*
- Turn your ears away from the voices of the world (Guard your heart)
- Pray for reverence of God’s word
- I have access to all the riches of God’s blessings in abundance RIGHT NOW

* Let the Holy Spirit move
* Be engaged and grounded in His Word
* Strip away the things that are leading you away from Him through being in constant prayer and constant communion and fellowship with God in His word
This was beautiful :)
Thank u. I’m listening while riding in the car and was going to take notes later. Thanks for this blessing.
Thank you SO much for this Rona! This helped ALOT! :)
This video has changed my life .. I’m speechless. Not only did I feel freedom while watching I felt my chains breaking throughout the video.. As soon as it ended I deleted social media and prayed to God for this to happen in my life that He is the one I want to follow over everything else. I can’t thank you enough. The conviction was R.E.A.L.
My exact thoughts! I’m about to delete my social media after watching this video. I have never felt so convicted in my life. Definitely life changing. Thank you Taylor! Such a powerful message. Time to remove the distractions and focus on God’s Word. Not going to lie, I got a little teary eyed watching this video. Your passion and love for God is beautiful. And I just want you to know that what you’re doing is truly making a difference. I’ve been struggling to draw closer to God and I know it’s all these distractions that I allow to clutter my life. I really needed to hear this. It’s given me the courage to do what needs to be done and for that, I am so thankful. God is good. God Bless! ❤️
OH, social media. I deleted my "beloved" Instagram a while ago.. haha!! It was so strange to delete it... because honestly I was so attached to it, with all my photos/memories...But I knew it wasn't worth it. And honestly how disgusting that it was that hard to delete... It's just an app. And I haven't really missed it, and I feel freer than ever from it. So anyone debating to delete their social media because it's quite literally stealing and sucking all the life from you!! !!DELETE IT, my friend!! There is so much more joy in just living your life, being present, being content, and loving where the Lord has you rather than being so distracted by social media!!
I hope this blesses some... 🙏
I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation.
But God did an amazing work.
I open up about my journey and I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊🙌🏼
*Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🔥
*All things are possible with God*
Hugs
So refreshing hearing a young lady speaking like this with such wisdom! Lord, thank You for what you are doing with Your young ones in this generation! 🙏🏼
So relatable, I decided to delete my sims game on my computer because I'd spent HOURS and would push off reading the Bible and taking time alone with him. Tysm needed this
You did NOT sound crazy. You were NOT going on tangent. You were PREACHING, and you hit me with every word. Thank you so much for this.
Tailor, you are in tune with the Holy Spirit, I am so grateful to hear a young lady giving all for Jesus Christ , you words were convicting for youth and older people as well, Glory be to Jesus
Thank you my friend! As a believer, the Holy Spirit is living in you too! Glory to God for His work in our lives!
For chains to break!
Sister if you think this is crazy can we get more crazy!! This was the spirit speaking ! & I needed to hear this!!!
I love this comment thank you so much!!!!!!! I am so encouraged by you!
Hi, I have to admit that I have put everything before God.
I have a problem with food, with social media, with just myself and I’m so sad because of it.
I need to spend time with Jesus who gave His life for me as well as the whole world.
Crazy! I just read John 10 this morning! Can only be God
Shenice!!!! This is AMAZING! Glory to God, I love you my friend!
You are so right. I had to delete Facebook. I also watched too much TV and I shut out the Holy Spirit telling me to turn it off. I repent of that. Father, please help me to listen to your voice and not the voices of strangers, including TV, social media and food. In Jesus's name. AMEN x
Your passion for Christ and God's Word is inspiring. Thank God for this channel and may He keep blessing your life and your family!
Thank you so much! Glory to God!
Amen
I needed to hear this! I watched the entire video and let me tell you, every single word touched my heart. I’ve been letting myself be chained under the bondage of anxiety and obsessive actions. Doors I thought were closed were reopened. I’ve been allowing voices in my head to speak lies about my self-worth. I’ve allowed myself to be consumed with selfishness and fearfulness. I’ve neglected my quiet time. This is not the pattern I want to keep up and this video spoke VOLUMES to me. I’ve been carrying around so much UNNECESSARY baggage and I didn’t surrender fully to the Lord. God has reminded me AGAIN that I can’t do it all on my own. If I want to live my life with peace and joy, I MUST depend solely on the Holy Spirit. God is so faithful even when we are faithless!
Amen
Wow. Needed this. I’ve been feeling stagnant and like my walk is at a standstill. God used this to show me I need to reevaluate my life and see what I’m putting ahead of Him that is keeping me stuck. I wrote down the daily prayer:
God refine me. Search my heart. Jesus I want you #1 in my life. Strip away anything ahead of you in my life. STRIP - IT - AWAY!
Thank you for this video!
Hi Taylor. This is my second comment. Had to let you know I felt blessed to hear this. Don’t hold back when God leads you to do a longer video please do. There’s a good reason for it. God bless you and everyone reading this.
Thank you Janette! This was so encouraging to read... Praise God!!
Amen I agree wholeheartedly! Not every message or video has to be shorter. We like the longer ones too!
I agree 100% , yes!
This was everything. Breakthrough with our relationship with God. Not a breakthrough in things or people, but in our relationship with God. This is exactly what we need in order to have breakthrough in every area of our lives. Thank you for your obedience in feeding us this mighty word from daddy.
Exactly where I’m at. Thank you for sharing this conviction. The thief comes to DESTROY. I want to live a life abundantly🤎
A lot of us are in this spot and you are not alone. God has got you! He is our provider and our shepherd. Let us dedicate our hearts to prayer and reading God's word!
@@coffeeandbibletime God worked today! I have been keeping a journal and something I prayed about so much 5 days ago God has brought to fruition without me even expecting it or understanding over the few days until today. The spirit delights in repentance that’s for sure.
God keep talking to me about surrender, I even did a class on surrender with the same points you spoke on thr video YESTERDAY! No more procrastination... time to work correctly
I'm at the time in my journey where God is telling me to cut out any secular media. I have been resisting because I wasn't watching anything bad, and I still dedicate time for the Lord almost every day. It is time that I could be going deeper into my relationship with God though. I've been hearing this message everywhere and now here. I'm surrendering now, Lord. Forgive me for taking so long.
We love you so much beloved
The God who convicted, delivered and filled you with His truth is faithful. Glory be to Him in the name of Jesus Christ forever and ever.
We love you 🤗😘
This has been me lately I’m a Christian but I don’t feel like I’ve been giving God everything
if you not only watch this video in its entirety, but ACTUALLY write down the bullet points exactly how Taylor shows it on video, this video will COMPLETLY change the way you view how God communicates with you. This video is VERY humbling!
Thank you Taylor!
Girl, you moved me to tears.. GOD is my Father. I related to you saying. “Strip away the things that keep you from Him. I got to thinking about that in my life. I am remolding my house, and I am having a corner with my rolltop desk I hv devoted to my time with my Father God. His word is “is” so precious. Sometimes when we don’t listen to His voice we miss out on blessings He wants to give us. And I don’t want to miss out on anything He has for me. Right!
May God Bless you always, ke ep spreading His word. You are His sheep. Lov always, in Christ, Lin
He is always the giver of life. Thy will be done the greatest word. Moving away from distractions. Amen jn Jesus name
You're so PRECIOUS! You're dripping with oil, Sista! Bring that word!
This is crazy because this morning my boyfriend was telling me about how he read John chapter 10 this morning and got confused by it so he had to re read it a couple of times. Thank you so much for posting this message and your experience!! I love these types of videos and I pray that God blesses you and your family 💓💓💓
Wow this is awesome Robin! God bless you and your boyfriend and your pursuit to following the Lord!
It's the living word. The passages change with you as you grow and your strength. God Bless you.
Since my husband passed away 8 months ago I have to admit sometimes I don’t pray like I should. I am just sad! I pray for God to take away my heartache, but I guess this is my season for struggle. Thank you for such a lovely and powerful video.
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. Stay close to God He is with you He will see you through this sad time in your life.
Lord our God is near to the brokenhearted. ❤️
I pray that God will help you delight in his words in this season of your life.
Things may get tough, but we are progressing to a day when the Lord will wipe away all of our tears.
Let's run this race with our eyes fixed on the Lord, our Jesus❤️
May the Lord give strength to you.
In our saviour Jesus's name, Amen.
God is the gatekeeper, Jesus is the shepherd & the gate, we true believers are the sheeps who hear His voice 🙌🏻🥳🥰
am this is my dads account that am using but i am greatfull that i did because it has reminded me of how important my quiet time with JESUS CHRIST is ,and how loving and caring HE is that HE gave HIS PRECIOUS LIFE and died for me on the cross and is risen this has given me hope
You know I agree with you Taylor 100 % because not all people please hear me out y’all but people now days go to the Bible and see what they can get out of it and .but really God gave us his word so we can get to know him more and want to get closer to him God bless everyone reading the comments 🤍💜 hope you have a wonderful day or night
Thank you for this message. I’ve been so selfish and full of denial of my sin for a long time now, all my life even, and yet still God with all His love and mercies keeps telling me and showing me that it needs to change- I need to change. And I’m so so thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for the second chance I’ve been given because without HIM I would be dead. Physically, emotionally, mentally, and especially spiritually dead. As a born-again Christian I pray in my heart continually for God to strip away all my idols and to give Him the glory He deserves. And this video also helped me recognize some more idols that I give a pass to. So Again thank you forever and thank the LORD who convicted me to see this now. God bless you :,,D!!!
Thank you Taylor for this gift❤️
There were a lot of voices in my head which confused me and actually led me away from the Lord.
It gave me some random commands and I felt guilty for not obeying.
By the Lord’s grace, I can now tell confidently that - if something leads me away from my shepherd, it's not the Lord's voice , it's the thief's.
Thank you so much.
May the Lord Bless you abundantly.
Let's meet one day in the Lamb's kingdom ❤️
In Jesus's blessed name, Amen.
Sometimes fasting from our interests or hobbies, whether they be food, social media, streaming films/shows, or anything else, is essential to discerning God's voice. It forces us to create time in our day we otherwise would not have given to God so that we can use that time to focus on God and listen to His voice with no distraction. Fasts are usually temporary, but if the change improves one's life dramatically they can become permanent. It is important to always realize that our Heavenly Father, the Good Shepherd, is the Highest Good and we should surrender and have Him guide our lives.
This video was so powerful and impactful. The part that hit me was “surrender” and “strip away.” Those are both powerful prayers to pray and can seem hard at first but it so worth it. This definitely was a video the youth needed to see because it’s real, it’s genuine, and it’s a side I never seen of you before and I loved that. I pray you put out more raw videos like this again, I definitely felt something.♥️♥️
In such a young age u know so much about Jesus !! God Bless you Girl !! U r truly blessed 🙏
God has blessed us, praise Him!!
Thank you for this Powerful message, I have been distracted by TH-cam and found God calling me to his word but I was ignoring him, today this was what I needed to hear! May Gob Bless your Ministry and gives you the desires of your heart! Xxx
Thank you for Angela! "Prone to wander Lord I feel it..." I think we all get distracted in life. There is no condemnation and shame now that you are in Christ, but what a wonderful path of sanctification (becoming more like Christ) we can be on together.
I accidentally hit dislike first. But immediately changed it. I love your content. I love your openness and rawness in this video. God's timing is so perfect because I needed this right now!
Just wanted you to know that your " tangent" was such a wake up call to me. I feel like the Holy Spirit was speaking through you to me directly. Thank you so much for this video. God bless you! and continue to use you to inspire His church.
Thank you for your sharing. This video makes me feel guilty when I don't really put God first in my life. I deleted my facebook right now and focus on God more, not love, not money, not entertainments.
So so so right about deleting social media (especially instagram and twitter). Its a benefit for anyone who finally deletes it. No one who did it regreted it afterwards. No one ever ! Thank you for this msg
I have twitter but only use if needed which is hardly ever.
YT I use more for decluttering (Josh Becker).And news items and can/need to reduce my time there.
AMEN TAYLOR🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 LET THE SPIRIT USE YOU!!!🤍🤍🤍 If this is crazy !? stay crazy boo!!!! This is beautiful to watch!!! It is so healing and clearing to cut it all out and give it all to GOD!! Yeshua said "I have food to eat you don't know about" John 4:32 Let us be fed by the bread of life our Lord not by things of this world!! May God Bless & Keep you always Taylor!! Keep spreading his MIGHTY AND POWERFUL WORD 🙌🏾🤍🙏🏾✝️🕊
God I pray for a friend like this
Tay!!!!!!! I literally was planning to go back on Instagram TODAY after being a year without it thinking maybe it’s time to come back.. 😭 God literally used this video (which i resisted to watch at first) to snatch me back and remind me of His voice. God bless you 🙏🏼
GIRLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! God is faithful and worthy of all of us and my encouragement is to continue following the lead of the Holy Spirit in your life. Take everything back to scripture and the heart of God. He loves you my friend! I am glad we can bear his image together and run the race of life with endurance spurring each other on!
Thanks for sharing this comment
Glory to God. Thank you for allowing the LORD to use you to speak to us. Amen.
Wow I need to put God before food! I hadn’t realized how excited I get to cook and how anxious I feel to spend time with God because I’m worried that my family is acting like they’re worried about me as if something is wrong with me.
I never comment but GIRL this spoke to me so deeply! You’re not crazy you’re spirit filled! Thank you so much for obeying Him and listening to His voice.🔥 God bless you, love from France!
Listening from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Wow Taylor- it’s so beautiful to see you growing in Christ and how passionate you’ve become. That’s truly a testimony within itself! & so beautiful to see! Praise God!! Thanks for pointing us back to his word- his love story! 💕 may we keep getting to new levels in him and be transformed by his word. Thanks for the reminder and encouragement sister!!
🤗💕✝️🎉
Yes! Consecration is necessary! Makes sense flesh vs Spirit.
I woke up this morning feeling lost and desperate, and now I feel hopeful! I am ready to allow God to take control in my life. I am ready to take action.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart. I’ve been in quarantine these past few days due to having Covid and I made the decision that I wanted to use this time for growth instead of using other things to distract me and pass time. I’ve been convicted to stop binge watching certain shows. They are not edifying to the Lord and my growing relationship with Him.
As someone who has recovered from binging I have a suggestion for you. Lift weights, and desire to be strong. Just like how baptism is an outward representation of our new walk with life, our strength should be too. As Christian’s we should be the examples to the world. A shining beacon of health. By lifting weights, you will want to build muscle. And just naturally fixate on eating enough protein to be stronger. And that doesn’t really leave a lot of room for the addictive foods. When you use food to build muscle you start seeing it as a fuel, as it is meant to be. There are many groups out there that emphasize faith and fitness so we can be the example for the world, and to show God our gratefulness for our bodies. Our bodies are our temples and we should strive to be as strong as god makes us.
Uh wow, thank you so much. As well for your honesty about the struggles.
God healed me by his grace from my eating disorder when I was about 17. From one day to another. Long time before I turned to him completely. But I always felt that he is there, and in that situation with the eating disorder, one day he suddenly spoke to me so clearly, that this "lie" in my brain did fade away immediately. It's like he wiped it out. But first I had to say "yes, you're right, it's wrong and has to stop".
This video must be a wake up call from God because I've been so distracted lately. Thank you for sharing.
Had this video playing on my tv and started uninstalling apps and setting app lock timers while watching 😅🙌
This has been exactly what I needed to hear. I got so caught up in distraction I didn't realise how bad it was!
Thank you so much for being willing to be used by Jesus to speak sbout these things and God's truths in a loving but firm, direct, & challenging way! I was so convicted & very encouraged. I'm very thankful to our God that you are honoring Him as a young woman of your generation to love your peers, by speaking honestly of your struggles & convictions. The love & concern for your brothers & sistrrs in Christ is evident! May Almighty LORD GOD continue to strengthen you by His Spirit, to serve Him in whatever ways He directs you.
This is a #word Tay! Thank you for sharing this and allowing the Holy Spirit to use you! I’m convicted as I type this. Just the other day as I was locking up my place in the morning about to leave to go to the gym and feeling so smug about my dedication to exercise, and then literally out of nowhere, I heard the Holy Spirit say “only if you’d be so dedicated to your quiet time as well”. I literally just paused and allowed that to sink in! It’s so easy to prioritize other things but our time with God. We need not squeeze in God in our timetables but rather put Him in the Centre of our lives.
mmmmmm wow I can relate to this Kuhle! Thank you for sharing this- so relatable and let's praise God for his grace and forgiveness and loving-kindness and patience.
This comment speaks facts and I can totally relate to this. Lately I've been giving God scraps of my time. I haven't been giving Him the quality time that He deserves which does get to me because I know He's constantly knocking at my door waiting for me to open so He dines with me but all I do is ignore and run to things which will never sustain me. But you know what the good thing is? He's patiently and graciously waiting for me to run back to Him and I'll do so after watching this video. Thank you for the video Tay and thank you Kuhle for bringing this comment forth :)
@Selma, you’re right! He’s waiting patiently for us. We just need to move towards Him.
Be blessed!🙏🏾
Love this content today.Thank you.
I have to distract myself from food as I have OMD one meal a day. I will go for walks or make a coffee with cream or water as I fast between meals 16-20hrs.
Good distractions to bring us back to Him.
Taylor, I felt the Lord speaking through you. I’ve been following y’all since I was in early high school and I am now about to get married. I just want y’all to know y’all have influenced my life so much. I have pursued ministry and y’all have guided me in so many ways. I am using your techniques and tips and passing them on to my girls I’m leading. I love you and Ashley so so much! Thank you for faithfully running after the Lord.
I felt The Lord tell me to watch this video and I am so glad that I did and obeyed Him. I've been distracted and I haven't been pouring my self over His Word like I should. Social media has been a heavy distraction. I need His grace, to help me free from placing social media over Him.
this is so so good!! I have been dwelling on this lately!! I deleted instagram recently & my thought had been “that so long as this distracts my relationship with Christ, I can’t use it.” it’s so freeing!!
Now this is what I am talking about!!!! This is so simple and yet so inspiring!!!! Thank you for sharing this Airriaunte!
Thanks for posting this! I left a comment about how addicted I am to Instagram. I know I need to delete it but it has such a stronghold on me. It’s so hard 🥴
Thank you Jesus.
Thank you for sharing this. I find turning to John 10:1:-10 has happened more than once in my life, for sure! 🙏🙏🙏
Wow I needed this so much God is good He is merciful He is The One True God
I REALLY needed this right now. Thank you❤ . It's hard to hear God's voice when you're so distracted.
I heard the word to surrender and then your video has confirmed it. Thank you for being obedient.
Roberta! I love you and I am praying for you! Continue in prayer for me as I try to live fully in obedience for Him!
@Coffee and Bible Time Taylor 😊 🙏🏾 thank you and I definitely will. Love ❤️ you all!
Amen! Revival is coming in the name of Jesus!❤️
Man, talking about conviction and God’s timing. Last night, Pastor Steven Furtick from Elevation preached about getting on my knees and experience God breaking my chains. And now God told me to watch this and I am so convicted right now because there are many things in my life that I am letting it be first and not Him. Social media was one of the biggest ones and I felt off for the whole day today when I constantly went on social media while I was at WDW (because I work there). I deleted three of many social media accounts so far and my flesh is begging me to stay on social media. And also, I am a huge fan of music and watching videos that are not helping me (just for entertainment), and I can tell how it wasn’t helping me at all. Right now, I am scared because I am dealing with not trusting God at this moment, but I believe that He will turn it around and use this as a testimony for His glory. Thank you Taylor for this video.
Thaaaaank you I don't know why but my tears run down to my cheeks. This video is a great reminder for me.
Hey Taylor❤
Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much I needed this. This video couldn't have come at a better time. I am gonna be real and honest here, but the season that I am going through led me to believing that my relationship with the Lord was not growing. Although I had my quiet times in the morning, I didn't really feel anything. Now I know that i need to cut some things out of my life that are leading me away from God. And I realize that I was so blind to that. Thank you for encouraging me to FULLY SURRENDERING to the Lord.
Keep on spreading His Word
Blessings to everyone.🙏
Love you Noleen! God is NEAR! His Spirit abides in you! I am praying for revival in your life!
It will be awesome if you could put this audio only on the Podcast 🧡 I need to heard this over and over again. Thanks 🙏🏼 ✨
Agree.I walk quite a bit so would be good to listen 🎧
Amen Taylor. God truly speak through you in this video, recently I've just been spending so much time on Facebook and not enough in his word and in fellowship with him. I legit saw this video a didn't want to watch it but that said night or early morning, I dreamt I was talking to a group of people and I said to them, "My sheep knows my voice" God is so intentional
I NEEDED THIS EVEN MORE. Taylor, if you wrote a book, I would treasure it. I am so benefitting from your amazing gift. Praise God. Thank you
I really needed this, thank you Jesus!!
Thank you Lord!!!!!! All glory to Him!
Thank you for sharing this. I needed to hear this, and am so thankful you were willing to post your reflections and personal journey. Praise the LORD for his new mercies and his unending grace towards us! He is so good and faithful.
Such a great message. I myself struggle with food. So please pray for me. I just finished a study book over idolatry and boy did I realize how many idols I unknowingly had. One of them food. You are correct if it doesn't help you to glorify God then it needs to go. I am so grateful for Gods transforming Grace ... Because I need his grace daily. I will be praying for your continued strength in letting go of food and anything that doesn't push you toward god. Xoxo God bless you
Hey Chriskari! You are such a beautiful image bearing saint! Glory to God for his patient work in us! I am praying He transforms us to look more like Him, thank you for sharing this!
Would you mind telling me the title and the author of the book? i want to read it
Yes .. it's called idolatry study book order it from the grace company
And I quote, "Come over here, follow me, into my captivity. Now obviously in our modern day an age we are not necessarily shepherding sheep or you know taking care of flocks, which of course I can't speak for you, maybe you do that, that's excellent, umm.."
Haha, thank you for making our day. ❣
This was so, so beautiful honestly. God bless you abundantly.
Save 42min of your life.
Be still and know God.
This was such a good Bible study! Thank you!
Praise God!!!!!!!
I’m so happy that you came on here and let Jesus use you to give this message. I felt JESUS all day calling me…. 😭I was looking to a man and I feel like it’s time to let go and surrender back to GOD. 🙏🏾
WOW, thank you! This could be a whole online course within itself, thank you so much! Needed this, thank you Lord
I’m so excited for this video first reason to learn & second because I recently bought a book called Discerning the voice of God by Priscilla Shirer🥰
Taylor thank you for sharing this. i am struggling right now with surrendering the sweets they are taking the place of the Lord. I am in a season of will this ever leave. You sharing your heart gives me hope.
Oh my sweet friend... I have had that thought so many times- "will this ever leave" or will it be a thorn in my side? It can feel like such a burden and my heart is just reaching out to you. I will pray for you, this life can be so hard. I am finding strength in Romans 12:9-13, specifically Romans 12:12
@@coffeeandbibletime thank you!
❤️
Thank you for sharing this. A word in do season. Very powerful!
Thank you for sharing your heart with us! It was encouraging and a confirmation for me this morning on a few things God has been dealing with me on🙏🏽
Just wow ! To be fully honest when I finished my Bible for the first time I felt like I only had to study verses a bit everyday. It only made me a luckwarm christian what a shame !!!! But it has been around 2 weeks that I read again my Bible, I already feel so close to God. I worship Him, study His Word, listen to many videos and podcast to understand even better. I love Him so much and I want to serve Him everyday.
Thank youuu for this message my beloved sister in Christ! This is EXACTLY what i needed to hear! The Lord really speaks to me in many amazing ways. Keep on being an obedient follower of Jesus 💗
Jesus really spoke through me through this video and this is a great message and I really needed to hear it
I’ve been so busy with college and I have A LOT going on it’s crazy. My quiet times have fallen through the cracks. I still pray throughout my day of at least try to and play worship music but reading the Word is important. Lately I’ve been trying to get back into things with my quiet time but I leave feeling nothing and I just feel numb and far from God. I really felt encouraged in this video to just sit in the silence with God and just be still with the Word. Thank you Taylor. I will be also be praying and asking if there is anything I need to cut out of my life.
Hi Friend, I struggled with food too and God led me to fasting and wooooow. It worked. I hope this helps.
OMG this is so needed....Taylor, it is obvious the Spirit of God is moving you in this direction to encourage the sheep to surrender to the Shepherd. Thank you for your submission and obedience to "seek His face" and share the treasure with us! I too struggle with emotional eating so thank you for your transparency. This is one I will listen to multiple times. God bless you as you walk with Him through your journey at Moody and in the upcoming adventures He takes you through.
Thank you so much for letting God used you, some time I think that is only me suffering from over eating , and trying to cover my feelings with food, because we are so scared to face those feelings, and the only things all this is doing is putting God smaller than my problems and that is not true, Thank you Lord, for always always coming to find this sheep 🐑 when I get lost 😞, thank for this channel where I had found a real passion for Jesus Christ, God Bless you ❤️🙏🏼💐Amen
Im at the 10:44 mark. This video is a confirmation that I asked God for last night. I was speaking of John 10:10 last night and this morning in prayer and worship I prayed "My sheep hear My voice" and declaring that I am His and I hear His voice. Praise God! Praise God. I had to stop the video and go through the text and commune with the Lord real quick. Now I'm back to finish. 😂 God bless you and thank you.
Thank you Jesus! I needed to hear this. I had been praying that God would show me how to hear Him. I also struggle with emotional eating sometimes among other sins. I know that God calls me by name because when I am tempted to sin, I either hear my name being called and think it’s my mom. But I go and ask if she called and she’d say no. Or I either hear gospel songs start playing in my head. To God be the glory!
That’s exactly why I fill my social media with God.
