Today is my 21st bday and I have decided to surrender my life Jesus Christ our Savior. This is my best birthday ever!!
❤❤❤❤
Gloryyyyyyy
Congratulations
Your life has changed for good
Happy birthday!! 🎂🎂🥳🥳🥳🥳🎈🎈🎈🎈 and Happy Born again Birthday indeed it's the best gift ever especially at your age many blessings to you, and walk with the King all the days of your life through good times, and bad times God said He will never leave us. Your comment really touched my heart. God bless. ❤❤
That is the only thing I want as well for my Birthday gift, truly the best thing I could ever ask for 🕊️
Happy Birthday and may the Lord bless and keep you!
Please let us remember this: we don't praise these women for what they say; rather let us praise the LORD, His Holy Spirit to instruct us through them.
I enjoy Stephanie’s laughter, I find myself smiling or laughing as well❤
I love Stephanie! I love her laughter. Her personality reminds me of mine. Every time I listen to her, she makes me want to draw closer and closer to God.
Some christians need to laugh more; they're so serious. I know it's a time and place for everything, but some christians act like God doesn't laugh - HE IS SUCH A SERIOUS GOD! I bet He laughs ALL the time, especially when we think our way is best. Proverbs 17:22 says, "Laughter does good like medicine."
Keep laughing and teaching HIS WORD Stephanie. You are truly a powerhouse for God. Selah!!!❤
I hope you’ve surrendered to Him and gotten closer and closer if that’s what it takes.
If NOT…Don’t wait any longer tomorrow isn’t promised to you, Neither is the next moment.
Regardless of how many tomorrow’s you’ve had or how many moments.
Make that decision NOW,
It Matter’s and it’s so worth it!
“SEED” 🍃🌱
We are not strong in Jesus when we are strong. We are strong in Jesus when we are weak and crucify our flesh. Great Word! 🤎
I love Stephanie Ike, truly she is GOD's mouthpiece. Her wisdom is amazing and does touch hearts. Thank you women of GOD. GOD BLESS YOU ALL❤
Exercising faith may not always be about overcoming trials and hardship, sometimes it is about trusting God in uncertainty, when you don't know what is ahead of you, what path to take, where it would lead, long periods of waiting etc. Instead of going nuts in confusion, we must have faith that He will be with us no matter where we are and what we do. It takes a lot of faith to be still and know that he is God. Once we fully surrender ourselves to God and ask Him to lead us in His will, we must have faith that we are walking in His will. Sometimes we are already in His will and we just need faith to keep moving forward.
1 Timothy 6:12 New International Version
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Paul calls faith the "good fight". The enemy of faith is doubt.
Ameen
LISTEN! Thank you for sharing your point. This was on point for me!!
Thanks for sharing- it was really encouraging
“Sometimes we are already in his will and we just need faith to keep moving forward” what a word! Thank you so much for sharing🙏🏾
4 minutes in and I already need to pray for an hour to let that word soak in ❤
Ma'am!
Amen! I read this exactly at 4 mins!
Watching these women felt like putting a mirror in the face of God. So ensuring and encouraging.
"My ways are not your ways". This really spoke to me cause I'm in a season I can not really even put into words. But I see now that it is okay because I'm living in a way that is not my way, and the confusion is a normal reaction. But I'm learning to trust God, and for this, I am glad and remain hopeful that I will receive the joy of His salvation.
Amen!
Amen and Amen. Just have to surrender.
Lord help us to submit to your will, even when it is counter to our desires and realities.
Amen! We love that prayer.
Surrender is I have no fear. God will take care of us.
Amen! Everything is in God's hands!
God is not withholding anything from us🙏 He is protecting us 🙌from harm.
Amen! So very true!
She blesses my soul and feed my spiritual life with solid food. Not a human pleaser but she is determined to please her heavenly Father. We give God the glory for manifesting Himself through His vessel❤❤
Your talks are just so much of an encouragement to me in my walk with Christ Jesus. God bless you all.
I love the idea of “God experiencing us as much as us experiencing him” and us being a sweet aroma to him❤️
I really enjoy these talks 🩷
Me too❤
Same here.
Me too
Same❤
It’s the surrendering….Lord I will Trust you 🤲🏾
Pull down the power of Heaven daily 🙌🏾
The surrender to me is throwing in the towel, raising my arms and saying alright okay. Submitting is bowing my heart to my knees and finally in willful obedience simply saying yes LORD.
God has helped me through the last 3 years since I lost my husband! Miss him every day❤❤, but I am getting by with prayers and family's lov
This was so good, and I didn't know Stephanie Ike had a baby, wow congratulations to her! "As God teaches He's going to give you time to practice" love it! Chrystal Evans Hurst is so full of wisdom. Love this platform it is so loving, and peaceful to watch.❤❤❤❤
Humble ourselves under the mighty hands of God and in due time he will exalt us. #surrender blessed word, thank you!
I need prayer with surrendering to LORD. Please anyone pray for for me. Thank you. Natasha Eva Grace 😊
God led me to hear this ....Thanks especially to Chrystal for your story very encouraging
surrendering means yielding to another's power. I love to put Romans 12:1 with Ephesians 3:20-21
He is able to do more than we could ask or imagine. He is in control. My heart says, here I am Lord for You to work in and through me as You will. May I have my life, breath, and being in and through You. I trust in You and You alone.
this is what happens when God loving women of Christ come together. such a bliss ❤
You take control, I have nothing to fear because God will take care of us
It just rocks my mind thinking about how God feels about surrender. How could we not surrender to the one who gave it all to us in the first place? Lord help me to trust in your word more and more each day.
Thank you, beautiful women of God, for pouring into our lives. ❤❤❤❤❤
What are we making God experience. So good. So good.
God has done something for me and my family..I thank him every day....Amen
Yes my children and grandchildren 😩😩🙏🙏🙏Help me to surrender them to you. Sometimes it’s painful to watch but They were His before they were mine
The aroma of surrender😭😭POWERFUL🔥🔥
I know this, that one day I will be on this show according to the will of God❤
What a powerful dialogue. Just wonderful.
This is wisdom. I’m so thankful for this podcast because it seems as if every episode I’m able to relate, confirm + receive powerful revelation.
Praise Jesus, this is amazing news. My daughter's birthday is close to your, it appears, and she chose to give her life to Jesus on her birthday this year, as well!!
I think it is so beautiful to make such a commitment on the day you were born, because it gives you a whole new reason to celebrate your birthday 🎉🎉 Out of all of the decisions im sure were offered to you, God offered His best offer on your birthday and you chose it!!! ❤❤❤ how amazing, congratulations 🎊
“Surrender your expectations for your life”😮💨
When you surrender, you truly come to a place of joy n comfort cause God has a perfect plan and you can trust in that plan.
For some, being unmarried is not good, but according to *1 Corinthians 7:32-34,* is good for some… 🇨🇦
More Grace WOG, keep the call on the course
This topic is deep, and i found it at the right time, I have been struggling to surrender, saying I have faith but most time I had doubts asking myself where is God when I need Him the most? I’m at the point in my life where I just said I dnt know anything at all, I surrender all I dnt care anymore what comes my way but I know He is with me He will never leave me nor forsake me🙏. I just want to know my Father more, to have intimacy with Him. I’m so blessed by all of you women of faith🙏
Nothing is lost in the kingdom🙌🏾🥹
Thank you ladies; this is so powerful! I love Better Together❤
Thank you for sharing the joy and laughter while also sharing us gems of wisdom and imparting the word God that allows us to embrace the beauty of being his daughters. And that yes as you shared in the previous episode of the Lord's prayer, He is our father! And today I felt that indeed I am my Father's daughter ❤😊 and He is singing over me with love in this episode. Bless you all❤
