- How to draw closer to God in 2024. James 4:8 says, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." The word "will" here indicates a promise. When we draw near to God, He WILL draw near to us. Not He might. Not He'll think about it. He WILL. In this video, I'm sharing 5 things you can do to grow spiritually in 2024 that will completely transform your life for Jesus. 🤍

For me, the one that is hardest for me is "praying without ceasing." I too easily get caught in my own thought spirals and forget I can turn each and every thought into a prayer. Serving in church is also something I haven't done recently as a new mama but in the past it was such a fruitful experience, so I'm praying about what that could look like going forward. Reading Scripture regularly is probably the one that's "easiest" for me, but I'm really focusing this year on making sure I'm applying what I'm reading and letting it change me, rather than simply reading it. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts in the comments! 🤍
Ms Kacy can you explain more about praying without ceasing? I just wanna make sure I’m not putting my needs before the needs of God ,and what he can do in my life !! I’ve came up with a routine to pray at least 3 4 times a day for others !!! Is that what ceasing mean
@@Misserica2u Yes, praying without ceasing simply means talking to God continually about everything! As you pray, He will over time transform your desires to align with the things He wants for you 😊
@@kacinicole okay great so I am on the right track , thank you 🙏
The "easiest" is be a member of a Church and the hardest is obey God. But honestly they all are difficult with there on challenges. I'm glade God is helping me in all areas because I definitely feel closer to Him and am growing in all those. Praise God❤
@@NewAccountKJ I’m soo excited for you keep up in Excellence, Do the best of with what you have
1. turn away from sin
2. get into a local church
3. pray without ceasing
4. get into scripture
5. obey God
I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah
Such a precious and sweetest gifts of the Lord you, brother. Thank you for your great faith and endurance.
I just lost my mom and she was my rock. She was why I kept going. I am suffering. I just started going to church and the lord has changed my life. I am a new person and I just pray that the person reading this will or has accepted christ in his or her life. He really can change you. I pray this pain and suffering upon no one. This song is helping me get through so much. I love my mom so much, and i love you lord. To the person reading this, its never to late to accept christ and he has died FOR YOU. He made you for a reason and he knows you. All you need to do is know him. I love you ❤
The way you can get closer to God is by doing bible study every day and do nighttime prayer every night before going to bed 🛌
Yes that's a great way too!
YES! I do Bible Study, but not very often. I found an AWESOME lady on TH-cam a few months ago, and occasionally I'll do Bible Studies with her, but she has SO many videos that I haven't seen and I'm gonna start doing them daily
(nighttime prayer is just a given)
@@KristaBrewer-rq7mo that's ok with me but the most important thing to do is to do bible study every day
So true
God allowed me to get ill with an illness that will take weeks to resolve. My husband was then furloughed at work. God is telling me to “sit down, be quiet and get into my Word”. I was upset at first but now I’m so grateful for the forced quiet and stillness. Being in His word and actively sitting to pray has been so healing and fulfilling
Private worship is a thing that i often encourage brothers and sisters to do. Because that also goes along with prayer and helps fight spiritual attacks. Often at night when i can't sleep God encourages me to get up and engage in private worship. I don't when i don't, then God allows for my temptations to be stronger. When i worship God privately, i have the strength to fight temptation and God reminds me, that the battle belongs to God. We need to wake up and remain vigilant.
It’s funny how the videos that you release always seem to line up to whatever I’ve been praying about or walking through. Gods timing is perfect. Thank you for being obedient to Him and posting such encouraging and truthful Biblical inspiration ❤ I love your videos and look forward to more.
FYI, She meant 2 Peter 3:18 not 1 Peter 😊
Good video! Helpful
Thankyou so much . cornelius from India.i am born again and baptised.i was blind but now see.thanyou lord for opening my eyes.yes, need to read the word daily.may he increase and i decrease.praying that people around me,who dont know Christ to know him and him alone as lord and saviour of their lives.praying for their salvation.india believes in so many Gods which are all false.sad.need to give the word and pray for these people.thankyou once again kaci .😊
Thank you Kaci for outlining the ways to draw closer to God with scripture references📖. I want to encourage everyone that it is possible with GOD to turn away from sin, He will give you the strength and be there every time you are tempted. For every sin I’ve struggled with God has helped me turn from it when I repent and ask for help. God is stronger than Satan and it is such a richer life to walk with God rather than being in bondage to sin. Keep running the race everyone 🏃♀️
For me reading scripture regularly comes easily for me ... I tend to struggle with obedience to God. Praying to grow in this area🙏🏾
You and your videos are such a blessing ❤
The easiest for me is attending and serving at church. I absolutely love my church and serve in several areas, attend weekly, participate in small groups and get so much from it!
The hardest for me is obeying what I read. I feel like I’m continually finding sin pop up, gossiping, lies, reacting in anger, being unloving or unkind …it’s such a struggle trying to be more like Jesus. But I am trying and seeing progress
This comment helped me. Thank you!
Loved this video and took notes thank you. #2 is easiest for me because I already am involved in a local church just two blocks away and my son loves it and encourages us to go. #4 is difficult because I get distracted or tired and don’t always make reading the word a priority when I should.
Thank you Kaci, had a very bad year last year..trying to move closer to god.its been difficult..but im trying very hard..its hard to hear god voice..when your head says something esle..its a process i guess..im trying to find a good christian community..for woman.
Anyway im from Malaysia.
Pls pray for me.Thank u
I’m blessed to have a local church I love attending that helps bring me closer to God. The hardest for me is probably praying without ceasing. I have a prayer before bed and I pray for meals, safe travels, etc. as well as before my devotionals. But I want to pray throughout the day, about good and bad things, that hasn’t become a full habit for me yet. It’s encouraging to know that THIS is the will of God! I’ve always been searching to do that will ever since I became a Christian!
I have a suggestion that can help. Do you have access to the open countryside? Even a beautiful garden? I do hope so. If you do, go into that countryside or garden and sit for a while to enjoy God’s beautiful creation. Prayer will be easier. God bless and I hope this is of help to you.
Hi Kaci, first time watching your video. Today, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. We need Jesus in our lives, He is the only one who can fill up any emptiness in our hearts. He is the Savior, He is the Lord. Blessings to you and family.🤗
I'm currently reading James and then I come to this video and it's about James. Oh Jesus is speaking to me! ❤
Thank you my dear sister, God is the author and the finisher of my faith, I'm humble to be in your sight, I can't live and function without you ❤❤❤it's awesome and wonderful blessing to know that I am not alone, and that he is on my side, your my God and king, love and adore you my king Jesus, stay blessed mighty and strong.
Amen little sister. Repent of any sin. Read His word. Obey His word. We will be like Elijah. Our prayers will be powerful and effective. Most of all we will be more like Jesus our savior.
Praying without ceasing is hard for me! I’ve recently bought a prayer journal so I’m hoping it will help me!! ❤
#4 Read scripture regularly. The verse is in 2 Peter 3:18, not 1 Peter. Thanks for posting your videos! I have learned to apply these steps in my daily life. Praying for you as you continue to encourage others to know God.
Hi good evening good afternoon good morning whenever you receive this message I am a believer for very long time. I just saw your video and I like what you said is true is very true. I like to get closer to the Lord I ask God every day I want to get closer to you, Lord I need you every day of my life and the good and the bad Lord I want to serve you, but I need your help without you. I cannot do nothing. I’ve been going through a lot of things, but I know God is with me who could be against me greatest is in me this here in the world I’m trusting in God And not depending on people and depending on God, he is the one who’s giving me stank each day and I know he’s with me and not alone every time I get up in the morning to pray at 5 o’clock in the morning I pray for a lot of people I pray for my dad, my sister and I do miss my mom. My mom passed away six years ago. She’s a believer for so many years. I do cry like a little baby I’m human because I miss my mom, OK and I miss talking to my mother. I call my dad as much as I go to see how he’s doing. My sister takes care of my dad and my dad was a pastor of a local church went on no more because he had a small heart attack a year ago but he’s doing good. Thank God for the prayers of the people of God. They’re praying for my sister Praying for my dad I asked the Lord to protect my father. That’s the only person I have as well sometimes I do cry people say were you getting so emotional I don’t think I am I just want my dad to be healthy and I do like I said I miss my mom but I know my dad got chance, that’s just pray to God they will protect my father every time I call my dad and good morning what happened to hear the voice of my dad? I pray to God that God will protect my father. I’m doing OK spiritually like I said, believe it for a long time serving for a long time and good in the back I cannot wait to go to the house of worship tomorrow morning, so I hope you read this. I hope you stay contact with me. I do respect you and I hope you and your husband pray for me because I do need some a lot of prayers and I’ll be praying for both of you. Good night or good evening in peace you go to sleep in peace you shall get up. Thank you for the advice bye-bye for now. God bless you.😊

For me, as a new Christian, the hardest one for me is turning from sin.. I wish I wasn't so quick to anger, I've been trying but I still fail a lot.. 😔 anyone have any advice?

Happy Tuesday, Kaci!
Thank you so much for this beautiful message. You are a very sweet reflection of the Lord's unconditional love and kindness. I always love ending my quiet time with your videos. ❤
I am 30 years old and I am in a season of wanting to grow deeper in my faith and read the Bible. I am reading James right now. What do you recommend reading next?
🌺Your so happy I'm here?? .... hmm🤔...Thanks! 😃
Great message
1 mistake. 6:50 should be 2 Peter, not 1 Peter
Do you think God nowadays still cures people from incurable diseases? Have you seen someone healed? Because I think I got some really bad things in my body .. gonna do MRI on July, already did blood tests and CT scans.
Yes he does. He'll heal my eyes before the year ends.
Hi Kaci, came across this video and immediately thought of a Bible study/series for our small church for our woman’s study. Love all the points each one can have their own extended discussion
dedicated to each main points how to draw/grow closer to God. Love this!
Curious if you know or can recommend a good Bible study that has these discussions?Not a bad idea using your video clip and breaking them up as an intro for each segment! 🙌🏻🙏🏼
Wait you named your son Judah ? 😳
❤ The pure in heart will cherish all of God's gifts, including The Bible and The Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will testify of the truthfulness of these scriptures.
Thank you for the wisdom and encouragement, Kaci🤍 My husband and I have both been rediscovering our deep need for Jesus this past few months, and I'm so thankful for you and your channel to come and hear God's word not only taught but lived by example, your faith and reliance on Him is so evident and it encourages me so much. I hope you know what a blessing you are!
Under our apostle Paul’s ministry, to be SAVED, you must BELIEVE/TRUST The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1 st Corinthians Chapter 15 verses 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins,was buried,and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ’s Shed Blood is what saves you when you Believe this plan of salvation with your heart.Romans 3:25” Faith in His Blood”.
Hi what do you think about Medjugorje?
Remember that the enemy can appear as light. My take on Medjugorje is that the enemy is taking people down a path where the focus is away from or off of Jesus Christ. Always keep focus on Jesus alone and The Holy Bible alone. The Bible is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
Comment only toJourney to find the truth read the word of god, bible. God gave his name to moses YHWH in hebrew pronounciation but satan mute the pronounciation of YHWH. The name of God in exodus 3:14-15 but bible is corrupted using Yahweh instead YHWH . Yahweh name( wrong name for catholic). Yahweh is found in israel "el Yahweh" is God statue found in israel archeologist. YHWH is thousand year up to 2024 cannot pronounce even the Jewish cannot prounounce by using niqqud for trial and error the name of god then how jesus christ is enter the bible by using Saul alias apostle Paul of gentiles.( fake apostle). Possible the original bible is using the name of God is almighty God, lord God, son of God, son of man, king of king ,emmanuelle, i am that am, God the savior, lord the savior because of thousand year cannot pronounce. The name of God YHWH is for the people to save his spirit. But today YHWH is open in the hint of God in Mathew 6:33, Mathew 21:43 ( this verse why the jewish cannot pronounce the name of god), Isaiah kjv 24:15, mathew 15:24, rev 16:19, deutoromy 7:6, three wise men( youngest son of jacob), king heram and queen sheba traveled for 3 year for taken gold, Pot found in israel by archeologist have a name Ophir, arphaxzad, eber and his two son peleg and yoktan, Ophir son of Yoktan, Ophir the places of gold selected by God, Ophir is land of creation, river of garden of eden where Ophir is a place, found 17 pelegic ancient letter " baybayin" can converted to hebrew 3 vowel a, e/i , o/ u but e/i , o/u is not Paleo hebrew and ba, ka, da,.... looking sound " a" or " ah" therefore the name of God in YHWH is sound "a" and the Messiah name found in tetragrammaton sound hebrew the same pronounciation of the name of God YHWH. Then who is Jesus. In john 5:43-45 kjv I have come in the name of my Father( YHWH) but you do not want to receive me. If someone ELSE COMES in his OWN NAME, you will receive him. Who else came the name Messiah but JESUS CHRIST which is a GREEK NAME.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Isiah 44
1 timoteo 6:16
