How To KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS You To Do | Biblical Decision-Making

- How do I know what DECISION God wants me to make? How do I know if my #Decision is right? How do I know where God is leading me or what He wants me to do? What is #GodsWill?
If you have ever asked one of these questions, this video is for you! I'm sharing a verse that speaks directly into the process of #BiblicalDecisionMaking, and breaking down the two guidelines it presents to us as to how to make a decision. I'm also sharing a cool story of something that happened in my own life as I was navigating a big decision, that totally illustrates these two points!

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." | Romans 12:2
You know I love me a good analogy! 😊Which of the ones I shared in this video was most helpful to you?
I loved learning that we should not rely on signs alone. I've been doing that recently but was convicted and led to read the Word too and spend time with God
The GPS was money... really GOOD
rocks!!!! 😊😊
The industrial grade earphones. Going to get those, not from Target definitely.
The one about the smooth stones was so gooood! I loved how it related to the verse, definitely got me thinking about how I'm using my time as opposed to how I should be using it! Great stuff may God bless you!
im not someone who is that religious but recently i have been having such a strong calling towards god. yesterday i woke up and had the sudden urge to delete all social media and to renew my mind. i wanted to just turn off outside influences. now that i did, i have had this strong calling to read the bible and to pray. i think this is gods way of getting my attention. to slow down and to let my worries go away. this was a great video btw i will definitely watch more ❤️✨
Omg reading this is exactly how I felt iv shut out so much toxic things and people all I have been feeling is going back to church wanting to re do my Bible tote bag the best part is I feel so at peace my worries are no longer taking over my day and I'm loving it I don't miss social media at all I mainly watch TH-cam just for these kinds of videos I really feel GOD is calling me seems like he's calling alot of people ☺️
*Please read the Quran too*
May you find the TRUE GOD. Ameen!!
Jesus Christ is the truth reach out .
love this, praying for you ❤️
God bless you!
I admit, I’ve been a lazy Christian all my life and now God is lighting a fire in me to do His Will.
Same, PRAISE THE Lord
Same, only I can't do his will due to my sin.
@@StallionFernando you can change, just surrender your will to God. I did so recently and I am ready for where God wants to direct my life
@@avataz I already have but it might be too late for me too be of any use, or at least my fullest potential. I almost feel like he just saved me on a whim after I rejected him so many times ruining the best I could have been.
@@StallionFernando it is never too late, you are exactly where God wants you to be. As long as you are alive yoy are of use to the almighty God. I believe you have lots of untapped potential, you just need to believe
It is the second time today that I heard "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather courage is stepping forward amidst fear."
❤❤
Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I Know The Plans I Have For You' Declares the Lord, 'Plans to Prosper You and Not to Harm You, Plans to Give You Hope and a Future. '"
Yes amen have faith In JESUS CHRIST AND ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR HALLELUJAH!!!
Out of context verse, this was specifically towards Israel but individuals. Sometimes, God does harm us and destroys our life and hopes for the future as a way to test us. God never promises happiness and an easy life, if anything it's the opposite which is why Jesus say "take up your cross and follow me" it's easy to claim to be. Christian when life is flowers and rainbows but true zeal and love for God shine in our darkest and toughest moments. So stop preaching the prosperity Gospel it's utter heresy.
@@StallionFernando Maybe Israel is a "type" of what an individual is now. So , an individual is "called out of Egypt", "wanders in the desert" and finally enters their "promised land". Just as there was a temple on a hill in Jerusalem people are now "temples of the holy spirit", we have Christ in us the hope of glory. th-cam.com/video/v2_G1NsT8OM/w-d-xo.html
Your soo right , amen and amen glory be to God our king and father😊😊💖💖💖💖❤💗
@@StallionFernando stop it , God wants best for us he loves us and he will bless us with our needs, God made our earth he made us he made our families, and im thanking him for that, he even gave us breath of life, he wants happiness for us not danger, soo stop it
Girl, you don’t even understand how this helped me! Even from three years ago, it shows that God’s word is FOREVER. God Bless You! ❤
Q
"It's in the taking a step forward that God begins to guide us" I've never thought of it like that! I always thought to wait in God before moving. Thank you!❤
Yes! I hadn't either for a long time, but knowing it brings so much freedom 💛thanks for watching 😊
You have to talk with God first to let Him know about your plans and desires. It shows that you place Him first before anything.
“when you have the intentions, God will help you”
I've been stuck so long because I waited that God gave me clear answer. Nothing happened and I was getting mad at Him knowing now that I kept myself stuck in the same place because of fear and doubt. In my heart I already know what I need to do. Thank you for this comment.
@@kacinicole I just want to grow closer to our creator I'm also a Christian and yes I have a back story but I'm so on fire for our creator amen ✝️✝️✝️👍🔥🔥✝️✝️
I came upon this video and it's helped me A LOT! I am weighing a HUGE life altering decision. I have prayed and sought council. There are days when I am completely sure and days when I am wrought with fear. The process of moving to a new city and a new job doesn't instill fear. The process of "leaving" what I am familiar with is what scares me. I know that God is doing something. I have gone ahead, marching forward and things are falling into place. Pray for me that God guides my steps.
I’m in the same boat. I’m engaged. I’ve been confident for months and now that the wedding is so close I’m so scared of making the wrong decision. I’m afraid of marrying the wrong person and ultimately being outside of the Lord’s Will essentially for the rest of my life because I married the wrong man. I love my fiancé and I feel like the Lord has confirmed our relationship so many times but as of late I’ve had no peace (it feels like it got stolen) and I’ve been so afraid.
@@Itsjustbritt Let me remind you what I heard in a sermon today. God is not the author of confusion. I know my reply is a year late. I hope God guided you in making the right decision, aligned with His Will.
@@Meera490 Wow thanks so much! I ended up breaking it off. Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
@@Itsjustbritt I find it so hard to cut things off when I feel that I’m outside of God’s will, especially when it comes to relationships. How did you know and how did you end your engagement?
@@yzma6142 hi there! This was a very tough decision and I was tormented by it for 3 months. It all started when I watched a sermon on TH-cam about love and marriage. The apostle that preached the sermon said something along the lines of “you haven’t even mastered the Lord’s voice yet you’re ready for a relationship with another person.” I was instantly convicted and reminded of how my ex and I got together. From there, I prayed and asked if the Lord wanted us to get married and He said “No” as clear as day. From there I wrestled with the thought for months. It wasn’t until the fear of the Lord within me became so strong that I finally surrendered and just let him go. This wasn’t an easy process but I’m thankful. I’ve healed and moved on❤️. This all happened at the end of 2021 into early 2022 by the way just for context. I pray this helps❤️
The Holy Spirit lives within you and guides you in such a beautiful way. Praise God for that and thank you for sharing!
I agree, she a beautiful soul
Amen

It's been 3 years since this video uploaded but god spoke to me through this video Today it literally blew ma mind - Thank you God for this video
I'm watching this now on 6 Feb 2023 but I think this what I've been praying for thank God for answering my prayer through her He ha talked to me
@@haileynatts650 God will answer your prayers
Yeah, I'm watching this now and the part about the GPS really spoke to me. I can't be too scared to move because then God can't direct my path.
3:00 am and this was all I needed. Been so confused and sad I just couldn't sleep. Thank you so much for this Kaci. I'm grateful to God I found your channel. God bless you
Me the whole video: wooow 👁👄👁
You made this a year ago and God is still using you to help people!! Thank you for being obedient!!!
A Prayer for Mental Peace
Almighty and Everlasting God, countless people are struggling in the recesses of their minds. The stress and anxiety of a consumeristic life have left many of Your children mentally scarred. Once someone has descended into their pit, it is so difficult to claw back out. Father, descend to them. Rescue them from the hopeless pit of mental anguish. Purify their minds and give them a hope that transcends all things. For You, O Lord, are gracious beyond measure. Amen Shalom Hallelujah.
Your gps analogy is similar to Isaiah 30:21.
Taking the first step forward is essential as a Christian because it is a mark of faith.
Peter was urged to step out of the boat by Jesus which was his step of faith at the time.
I also like the scripture where Paul states ‘let the peace of God guide you in the decisions you make’ (Col3:15)
This video helped me a lot today so thank you!
YOU'RE VERY RIGHT THAT DECISIONS WE MAKE WHEN WE AREN'T PRAYING ENOUGH, ARE SOULISH IN NATURE .
This is gold!!!
I am trying to make a decision about changing my job and want it to be in the will of God.
I prayed for small still voice but I heard all kinds of voice in my heart and I don't know which one is of God
I prayed for a sign from God and I haven't got any.
And I have got a very limited time to make this decision.
As I was wondering if anyone had the same problem like me and have some advices from the Bible, I came across this video and I loved it.
I love the GPS example. It reminded me a verse that my mentor shared to me yesterday which is Ps. 37:23-24
(23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.)
Thanks for sharing this.
God bless you
What did you decide? I'm in same limited time situation
When making a decision, God speaks to our spirit and it flashes into our mind as a thought. Also, the biggest factor to confirm what He's saying, for example where to work, move, who to marry, etc., is the PEACE He gives according to Colossians 3:15. Many times we as Believers look for the spectacular- think 4th of July fireworks, when God speaks supernaturally through His Word. His voice is ALWAYS found in His Word. He says my sheep know my voice and they will not follow a stranger. The stranger/enemies voice is anything negative and he loves to keep confusion going. Also, we are to take every thought captive- 2Cor10:5. Simply because the enemy also speaks in thought form, but uses words such as "I" and "me" to try and make us believe we originated the negative or sinful thought. He also tries to confirm his nonsense by sending negative emotions, feelings, sensations simultaneously with the ungodly thought. Take your authority as a Believer and in the name of Jesus, command every hindering Spirit out of your situation. Also, as you meditate on God's Word, it is ACTIVE meditation, meaning reading, memorizing, and finding scripture for your situation and confessing it over every circumstance. Godly Meditation is NEVER blanking/emptying the mind as the world does. That's dangerous, as the enemy can come in and "speak" as well. These are some of the things God revealed to me to help me along the way. HTH. Charis Bible College has a channel here on TH-cam and is an excellent resource in developing your relationship with God. I highly recommend them.
-Blessings
@@nadeanbenjamin4328 Hi! I have a genuine question if you wouldn't mind taking the time to answer. I always have grown up hearing how the enemy can give us thoughts or negative ideas. I don't believe I've ever read a bible verse that actually states or implies that he can do anything in our mind. I know there are verses saying that he can tempt us or that he can use things in the world to try to get us off of God's plan, but do you happen to know of any verses speaking specifically to the enemy being able to get in our mind? Yes, we can have thoughts that are not from God and that are very fleshly but to me that is MY thought, not something the enemy has put in my mind (though, like I said I do believe the enemy can use things in the world to try to cause certain negative thoughts). Hopefully you get what I'm trying to say/ask.
This helped me so much!!!!I have been feeling stuck for over a year scared to make the wrong decision looking for signs and became stagnant.I guess I was waiting on God to ring my doorbell and have a meeting over a cup of coffee😂😂I love the way you broke down the gps story.I feel like a load was lifted off.new subbie
Lol I totally wish God would ring my doorbell and have a meeting over a cup of coffee sometimes 🤣I'm so glad the analogy was helpful, and SO happy to have you here!
Same!
Same
Same! Haha, I’ve been waiting on God to show up and tell me what to do. This video really made me realize that maybe the ball is in my court and I need to take a step in faith.
I totally got stuck the same way
I sprained my right ankle last couple of weeks and it haven’t been healed properly, and still hurting everyday, right after the prayer this prayer, the pain is gone and I can even jump now . Thank you, Lord for Your Miracles ❤ God bless
Hallelujah, sometimes I forget to ask the divine physician.
The GPS analogy where you said that if you stay still the gps cannot pick up so it can reroute you… only be moving… even if it’s in the wrong direction, can it reroute you… that is so true… God can only guide our steps when we are walking towards him. This video helped me so much and you delivery it with such clarity! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I am a newby Christian and this video is so inspiring. You are so lovely and so smart! Thank you for this video. I loved the verse from Romans and your advice that God doesn’t guide through fear. And all your analogies are fantastic. Thank you 🙏 ❤
The GPS analogy was SO helpful!! You can’t stay stationary ❤
I love your analogy about moving forward. I was in the Navy for 13 years so an analogy I like to use is the rudder of a ship. If the ship is moored, tied to a pier, stationary, you can swing the rudder from hard right to hard left and the ship will still face the same way. Yet if the ship is moving forward, even a a slow speed, the rudder is completely able to change its direction. Thank you for what you do...God bless your ministry.
Girl this was GOOD! 3 years later 🙏🏽 May the LORD bless you and keep you in peace Amen 💛
Loving the analogy of the rocks at the sea being smoother because of the consistent rush of water going over them. Not just a drop of water hitting a rock.
The ear plugs analogy is definitely proving true that I need more silent time with God. Especially with where he is leading me.
Thank you!
*The mustard seed is mentioned in the Wise and Holy Book of God = Quran, means READ. The meaning of the word Quran in Arabic is RECITE. The Angel Gabriel told to the most honest man that God created (=Mohammed) to "Oh, Mohammed, recite, recite in the name of your Lord, your Creator, recite these words from God Almighty to rest of himanity and it is your assigned job even if satan hates you"..*
This has been me, in everything I'm trying to decide 😥. Romans 12:2, is one of my favourite verses! I love what you said, about moving instead of staying stationary. I need to start taking steps. Praise God, thanks for your encouraging advice.
The Lord guides yours steps,your life, you!
"He knows the way, because He is the way"
I truly needed this I over thinking that it’s my desires and justifying my actions 😊
This goes so well with ministry i heard Wednesday night. He shared the many ways God guides us to make decisions: Scripture, prayer, the Holy Spirit, spiritual wisdom, counsel of godly friends + circumstances. Its like “duh” but so important to be reminded of it constantly. God never leaves us to do life alone, He is always guiding us in the many decision we have to make (big and small). We never need to doubt in the One who knows every moment of our lives. We can trust the One who has plans for our lives - who always works everything for our good + His glory. I’m thankful that God is always with us. I love when God uses many ways to speak to us.
This comment was SO encouraging to me. "We never need to doubt the One who knows every moment of our lives" - so very true. 💛 I love that this video went along with what you learned on Wednesday night! 🙌🏼
Kaci, I needed this exact video right now. Thank you so much. As a new believer, I’m still learning!
Wow that is so cool to hear! I'm SO happy it was helpful! 😊
About an hour ago, I was asking God to give me a sign about a current situation I'm in. I, too, have been going back and forth about a situation. While running my daughters bath I asked God to give me a sign or encouragement and your video popped into my feed. Jesus amazes me everytime. I now have the courage to take the next step, trusting that if I'm wrong, Jesus will turn me around.
i wish this to for me
Thank you Lord for bringing me here 😊🙌
I made a decision to follow the Holy Spirit concerning something very specific even thought I wasn’t sure if God was really speaking to me. But then as I was sitting down, God put a book and a chapter in my mind that I did not know and that VERY SPECIFICALLY related to the decision I made and it was confirmation for me! He did it again with another chapter and verse in the Bible and my mind was just blown because God was definitely speaking to me loud and clear.
I had not memorized these verses or really knew them at all!!! It was the Holy Spirit working in me
As I was in tears..my world crashed and called my parents to come retrieve me. It was nothing but stress..in tears I walked away went to water and prayed on my knees..a man I asked for a lighter from( yes I smoke cigs..but laid down weed when this all happened.praying for strength to do that) Working on cigs now)..as I'm in tears talking to friend about should I stay..or should I go..2 x already told my folks to leave me here...but since I have a little little dog.old blind n almost deaf..living in my car in florida was not a option..anyway as I'm talking to my friend. The man next to me started playing a faith song ..when I went to thank him for I needed those words. he started taking God's words and told me stay not go home. When I said I would be homeless in 2 days..he pointed to his van and said ..this is my home..but even after this..and giving away all my belongings..I chose to go home.. realizing this is a Vicious Cycle in my life . but determined to change the outcome this time...I've made so many wrong desicions I was a coward..Not fair to my dog to suffer...so I'm goin home...For my dog...and promise to keep moving forward..if I made the wrong desicion..my family very toxic..but I'm goin to except it as a true challenge..to keep my power( to not loose my cool)..God's words near...And show my parents how God transformed me..a different way.. fearless in his surrender...God have mercy on me if I did not trust him to be homeless..Even through my confusion..I never felt fear..just confused..In the name of my Lord n my savior..do not give up on me..Amen
Wow this is crazy 😱I had so much confusion if whether or not God wants me to study abroad in the UK. I was trying to pray and meditate this into reality but during my session with God I kept hearing a voice that discouraged me into thinking that God doesn't want this for me and that "He has better plans for me". After prayer I was so unsatisfied because I felt unsatisfied and that God doesn't love since He is allowing this confusion to sink in even during my time with Him. So I went and searched deeper and decided to watch a yt video relating to my issue. Then I stumbled upon this video. SHE LITERALLY WENT THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION AS ME. SHE COULDN'T DECIDE IF GOING TO THE UK WAS GOD'S WILL FOR HEROR NOT BUT IN THE END IT WAS. I BELIEVE THIS STORY IS MY CONFIRMATION TO GO TO THE UK🇬🇧✨HERE I COME🇬🇧🙌🏽🎉😊
I watched this video 3 times. Each time pausing and reflecting on what was said. This is very practical and relatable on so many levels. I constantly have trouble making "big" decisions because I know that what I do not only affects me, but my children as well. Last night, was one of those moments. I had heartache and confusion after being certain. Truth is when I was praying and fasting I felt God lead me in one direction and this week with working remote and being home with the kids due to school closures. I have been so busy and have not spent that quiet intentional time with the Lord. Thank you for this.
I loved your analogies. I especially like the GPS one. I pause life waiting on God thinking it's faith. Your video helped make sure I wasn't homeless. I said if I apply and it gets rejected then I'll know. I'm going to use that as I search for a job, and take my driving test. Ofc with prayer and reading as well thanks for this. I also love how you said fear is of the enemy. I'm a germaphobe and am scared of plenty of others things I wanna trust. Faith over fear
You're so wise with providing these great analogies! Keep up the great videos.
Ah thank you so so much! 😊
This really helped me! You were spot on with everything! I get so stuck in my decision making and being fearful that I’m making the wrong decision that I just don’t do anything but that GPS reference was great. Thank you for your obedience ❤️
Ah praise God I'm so happy this was helpful! 😊🙌🏼
The GPS analogy struck a cord! God bless you, Kaci.
This was posted 3 years ago but it is still relevant till date. Thank you. God does not give us the spirit of fear, he would never use fear to keep us away from
Something .
THANK YOU. I THOUGHT, WELL, THE ENEMY HAD ME BELIEVING, I WAS THE ONLY ONE GOING BACK, WRESTLING WITH DECISIONS.
I think for many Christians mindfulness feels very ‘new age’, but being present or “in the moment” is actually beneficial to our hearing from God. Thank you for saying that. Great video. Very in depth & helpful. I’ve also done the “flip open at random and that’s the scripture God wants me to read” mistake for long periods of time and it drove me insane. I so appreciate what you said about making a step forward and keeping things in motion and God will open or close doors according to His will; but He needs our action. That’s super vital to many of us who experience that paralyzing fear to make decisions.
Flip it open at random seems the better way probably. I could read the bible front to cover and the words don't change so if people are looking into something that isn't there or coming to their own interpretation then that makes more sense. So far my interpretation so far from what ivd read is "hypocrisy." Saying one thing then saying the opposite. Saying one thing is bad but then approving of that very thing later on.
A super important aspect one should never forget when seeking Gods advice is repentance and active fight against sin. 🙏
I felt God call me to stay at my job at church when we had a transition of leadership last year and my role changed. I started as an entry level admin with no prior experience to office management in 2 years. I’ve been operating in this role for about 8 months now and I feel like I’m drowning. I also just graduated with a bachelors this past may and so I’m struggling to stay at my job. But a part of me feels if I leave I’ll be leaving what God was calling me to in January. It’s jsut such a hard situation and it’s weighing so heavy on me. I’m burned out and don’t know what to do. I’ve prayed. I’ve persisted. I’ve grown and am growing. Life is just hard right now.
What’s so hard is I have really felt like God was leading me in one direction ... all the signs pointed to moving to Texas but then I don’t get into Baylor and was really confused ... but I just said God knows what’s best .. sometimes I think I know but I’ll learn I was wrong
I’m going back and forth between moving to another city for work where I would only know my coworkers. I have never moved away from home and my family and there is some fear there naturally. This is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
Did you move?
Kaci Girl, God is totally using you on this platform for His glory. It is so exciting to see the Holy Spirit speak words for wisdom through you. Thank you for your obedience to His calling. You are touching lives!! Many blessings to you. Keep up the great content.
My God is speaking to me I am doing exactly what God want me to do. He called me.i didn't go for myself.
The GPS analogy is incredible. It also makes me feel less dead about taking the “wrong step”. As long as God isn’t clearly saying no, and we are in line with scripture, we can at least try.
Thank you so much. Your way of describing things really clarified things for me! I was so surprised when you said your conflict was about studying abroad... that’s exactly what mine was... and some things related to it. It’s so amazing how God uses people you don’t even know to tell you exactly what you need to hear. ♥️
Whoa that is amazing! I'm so glad this was helpful 😊
My situation is totally different, what if u not sure if God want u to take the vaccine or not...
I'm amazed yet not surprised with how God is using you to speak his word with great wisdom. Thanks be to Almighty God for using you to straighten me out. We need you mann
Hi hon, I am 41 yrs of age. This has been an area of struggle in my life since the last possibly 15 years. I got married, had kids, and suddenly, decisions became a problem. From your devotion, I'm learning my time with God had its biggest change when these changes came in to my life. My time with God was consistent amd constant, I was my only responsibility. Here I am at this stage so flustered, my life has been on halt for 15 yrs and your video has helped me. I now know just what the Lord wants me to do. Thank you. Everytime I'm super close and consistent in study and presence, I get the same directives..when i get busy which is very often and about to move, fear, doubt and uncertainty pops up. May you and your ministry be forever blessed. Keep it up.
Please pray for me, I'm pregnant and got offered a Oncology job I accepted in and now I'm doubt because of fear of getting cancer and looking like a failure if I don't get the job. I love taking care of cancer patients too. ❤
Confession; God has not given me the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. You can confess this anytime you feel fearful. Also anytime that negative thought comes reject it in the name of Jesus. If you have peace of God about the job he will supply the grace to do it. Also your presence will minister to the cancer patients to the glory of God. God bless.
I can’t tell you how much this video has given me so much peace. I feel like I’ve been spinning out of a control about a situation that one I haven’t even prayed for nor have I been doing my part in being rooted in God before making a decision. I was so stressed about this decision It’s like I through our all my foundations. Thank you so so so much for reminding me going back to being rooted in Christ through time with him in his word and prayer renewing my mind will keep me from this spiral to be ready to move and step. Im so serious this video was a blessing
I went to estate sale a couple months ago and I was standing at the door to go in. I felt God say this is your home well I put my house on the market. Three months later neither home has sold yet but everything I read or listen to still says that's my home. I have doubted, feared and wrestle with why hasn't anything happened. It's God's timing I know it will happen, it's just when he wants me to keep in his words and prayers. I'm packed up, ready and waiting. I believe what I believe. Thanks Bonnie
Thank you needed these reminders! ❤ and I love the analogies.
What a great analogy! thankyou! & i am a huge believer that we must take steps towards our decision.
i am desiring to move from MD to Florida. that is a huge decision but the idea has been pulling me for many many months, & i have been taking steps, & i did get a job offer . anyway thankyou for your message!
This was so needed for me in multiple ways
Wow praise God, so cool to hear!
Kaci Nicole yess!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you for your clarity. This is just what I needed to hear! I love your teaching style by the way!
Wow that was good: “we want God to give us 100% clarity before we take a step forward.” I’ve heard something similar from my husband but I’m happy to hear it in another perspective. Hehe
Perfectly said 🙌🏾 funny thing is, i have Romans 12:2 up on my wall & i have been reading that scripture for the last couple of days in the midst of trying to make a decision & i run across this video. Thank you for sharing & allowing God to use you.
This was some good stuff! Isn’t it weird that you find the perfect thing at the perfect time to learn it. Like I was looking for a video like this a year ago and couldn’t find it, it’s like God was teaching me something else, but now this is the lesson and I found it. Crazy
This by far is the best advice. What decision is bringing you peace when you are in the presence of God. I was listening to Matthew today and it was talking about how we shouldn’t worry about life in the same way the world does. What we should eat or drink. Our father in heaven gives GREAT gifts. Fear of man can be the root of doubt and we think it’s our disobedience. But I love that you said test the spirits because God wants us to test these things and know that it’s his will for us.
This is actually the Million dollar question. I guess when we choose the hard way. The opposite of being selfish. Being kind when we do not feel like it. How to love God the right way is the Question of all questions.
The GPS analogy! Perfect. I'm already into Romans 12:2 every single day so that was awesome too. A new way of looking at the verse.thank you. I will be testing the doors! 🌸🙏🙌
Kaci- this is truly one of the most wisdom filled videos I have seen on this topic. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this!❤️🙏🏼
Sometimes, I will tell Him what I plan to do and ask Him to stop me if I'm wrong. The absence of a no is also something to go on.
I’ve been job hunting for the past year or so. The night before my scheduled interview I pray and I ask the Lord to give me a good nights sleep if he wants me at the job. If I’m restless during the night I know that particular place is not where he wants me.
This was extremely helpful. I find myself at times bouncing back and forth on a decision and I pray to God that I don’t want to make a decision off of emotions. When you spoke on going with the decision made when you were the closest to God, consistently in his word, really helped me and gave me some clarity. Love the analogies and examples too!
I love this video! I do agree that renewing your mind is not just opening the Bible but it takes work, but I dwant to make a point that God does guide you guidance to randomly open the Bible and the verse hits home. When I found out I was first pregnant with my first child, I was having a breakdown and me and his father weren’t dating so I felt very worried and crazy about the whole situation. I did feel God led me to open the Bible and the first page I opened I I read “a pregnant woman is beautiful”. I don’t remember what chapter and still to this day cannot find what verse it was. So is this an actual verse? Or was God just doing his thing performing miracles to calm my mind and my heart? Either way, it did change my perspective and my thoughts about my pregnancy. Will never forget that ♥️ he’s 7 now!
Thank you! since my journey began, I have moved across the country quit my med school and finished film school and you have def helped. Thank you as a single mom i needed this clarity since i was super confused! I fasted and doors opened! and I still freak out time to time being a single mom thinking i need to go get a stable job, but I see my future God laid out for me as a business owner and You today, have validated the things I was already doing!
thank you for this; that's really helpful
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Exactly what I needed
This was a beautiful teaching of God’s word I really enjoyed it to God be the glory be bless !
I will have to say that it’s not something I always do because studying the word is very important, but I have had to make a huge decision on obedience pertaining to a huge move and I kept asking God for confirmations. So yes I was randomly opening my Bible app, I have two, and they both kept sending me to Ruth. I was also getting random videos down my timeline on TH-cam where I received undeniable confirmations, I mean in one video, a woman literally had the name of the place God said to move on her shirt!😂 I’m a firm believer in signs and God sending you destiny helpers to help you walk in your purpose. He knows I’m a bit of Thomas, his knucklehead doubtful child, so he has to make it pretty obvious to me lol. Everybody’s story is different and he speaks to us in ways that we individually understand. It’s the same with your children. You most likely wouldnt communicate with each child in the same manner because they more than likely will respond differently🤷🏽♀️
Watching this 3 years later and it is so good!!! The GPS analogy was such an eye opener.
This was so, SO helpful. Just what I needed as I struggle with certain decisions in my life. Perfect timing. Thank you!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 God doesn’t use fear to guide us!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I will definitely save this video for reference... your advice is the best I've heard from any video, book or blog on the subject either I'm more receptive or 🤷🏽♀️ But the practicality is EPIC!!! Thankyou Sis!! Definitely subscribing!!!
Similarly, I enjoyed studying abroad yet had the same questioning ambiguity beforehand. Thank you for sharing! But my main comment deals with the issue of prayer and approaching Almighty God. His Word says to “enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise.” This genuine gratitude and worship should scripturally come before our requests since Holy God already knows them anyway. Otherwise, it’s like addressing the Most High Creator out of the blue- simply with our temporary need, or question we would like God’s guidance in solving. In my experience, this time of thanking and praising God before asking for his intercession creates peace, focus and the solemnity necessary to be in the presence of God. Prayers become more effective. The Lord’s Prayer is a perfect example. 🙏🏼Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much for this! Decision making and doing what God wants me to do and having confidence in what I believe He is telling me to do is something I really struggle with!
I'm right there with you - SO so happy this video was helpful to you! 😊
This video was EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! Thankyou I am going to continue in faith and renewing my mind . I have been in relationship with Jesus every day but still went back in forth with my decision but this has allowed me to have more clarity. God bless you!!!!
Explaining through the example of facing map issues, taking wrong turn and still coming back to the path was amazing
That GPS example was soo good !!
I loved all the analogies🤓, keep them coming! I found such comfort in the GPS analogy as I am one to fret over decisions and thus end up not moving. Thank you for reminding me that God is a loving father and will always redirect me if needed. Ohh and I am intrigued about the London charm will definitely be tuning into that vid to see what happened with that 🙏
Ah I am so thankful the GPS analogy was helpful to you! It's something I'm always reminding myself of too 🙈and the London charm isn't in a video but I do have a blog post about it - it's linked in the video description 😊
I am on my 3rd day (of 40 day) fast, and really struggling with decisions. Thank you so much, this really help. This is my first video I saw of yours and I truly appreciate you! G-d bless. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi rachel i just wanted to ask you i see you stated that you were in a 40 day fast and im interested in fasting aswell im taken baby steps there and i just wanted to ask you how you did.this would help me get to my goal.
@@rubiseliaarellanobarajas3023 It was hard. I got to see my own weakness, learned to depend on G-d, and embrace that I need him. I only ate 3hrs within a day and stayed away from social media and any form of entertainment. I pray that you that you draw closer to G-d this week. ❤❤❤
The Holy Spirit emboldens for discernment and good works.
Glory be to God!! You recorded this video 2yrs ago and I'm seeing it today. God's timing is ALWAYS PERFECT!! im in the midst of some decisions and this was right on time. God bless you!
So good, this really spoke to me, I needed to hear this. I felt before the fear is God guiding me, but your prospective opened my eyes.
Thank you 😊
If it's loving God and loving your neighbor(treating others as you would want to be treated by them) it's God's will. :) The Holy Spirit will convict you otherwise.
When in doubt, always go right
i love this video so so much and your channel. i have been so anxious about a decision recently and have seen through the opening and closing of doors just like in other times of my life he is still and forever in control. Even when it doesn’t seem like it, he has plans to prosper me not fail me.
GIRL! You speak that truth!! This was very beautifully presented. I love your analogies.
I like the way God is using TH-cam algorithm to serve me videos that He will use to speak to me.
And today your message slapped hard, thank you!
You're anointed to evangelise, I shall learn from you 🤗
I’m literally In The middle of a huge decision. This video really helped me- thank you.
This is wisdom that I absolutely needed to hear. Thank you Kaci!
This video popped up when I didn't even know how to put words to my feeling and God just knew it that I was struggling with this very topic!!
I NEEDED THIS! THANK YOU ❣️
