Thank you so much. I have been struggling forgiveness towards my husband, and my mom. I prayed this morning and this channel came to me. I need prayers to forgive and to be forgiven.
God's Word has been very helpful for me. It helps to renew our mind. He knows best. He says if you love me, you will obey me. I remind myself of everything Jesus went through, yet He shows us mercy, grace, and unlimited forgiveness. This reminder humbles me. Surrendering and asking for the Holy Spirit to help( we can't do these things on our own) and also remembering we have an enemy who loves when we nurse our hurt, he loves division and loves when we don't forgive( it causes separation from God) it's an open door for him to torment us. Gods way is best. Staying close to Him and walking in peace is the best way! God bless you. Praying over you . 🙏🏽🤍✝️
Important to remember that loving difficult people. … and forgiving them does not necessarily mean we are called to have ongoing relationship with them. There are people who are so broken, controlling and narcissistic that a Christian can justifiably not continue in a close relationship with them.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I work with addicts daily as a rehab counselor it’s a struggle to view them through compassionate eyes especially because they are fresh out of jail and they are so mean. However I have seen the Holy Spirit manifest in me as I die daily to my flesh . But probably the hardest job I’ve ever had. Don’t know why God has me here but I’m so ready to move ❤
❤❤❤
I love her transparency about her natural inclination not seeing God in people. Same! Esp the part about her husband. I wish more people could be authentic like this. Lord, help us to see humans as you do! What a tremendous love He is!
I feel bad that I do not/cannot show my "image of God" at my work as much as I would like to. I mean, I can show it in being excellent in my work. But the rest of the time, I am pretty much using God as a tower to hide myself in/behind, or asking Him to hold me back so I don't blow out my frustration...🙏🙏🙏🙏
You don't have any friends or people that you are kind to or are kind to you at work? You mean every day you go to work, you are either in fear or anger? That sounds like you need to spend a lot of time after or before work in intimate time with God. You are supposed to bring God's presence wherever you go. The JOY of the Lord is your strength. It seems to me that you are low on joy and you need to spend time with God in study and prayer.
This can change. Ask GOD to help you.
Wooo! THIS IS A TOUGH ONE! BUT ITS TIME ! THANK YOU LORD FOR REVEALING MYSELF AND MY PART IN THE PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE & RELATIONSHIPS
Amen 🙏❤❤❤
I can relate to this. I’ve been in the throes of either fear, anger, anxiety, frustration, and depression. I finally realized that I needed to spend ALONE time with God. I’m not gonna lie, I started doing it even though my desire was to do something else. But when I finally SAT STILL and spent some time with Him, listening to bible studies and preaching from different pastors(mainly Better Together ladies) and reading my Bible and after the second or third day I started seeing and feeling a difference in my fear, anger, anxiety, frustration and depression. My flesh was fighting it at first(I wanted to do something else besides sitting still) but luckily my spirit won that inner struggle. Now I see that the happier I am in the Lord, the less I feel those bad feelings, and I’m also kinder to others. And now, I can’t get enough! I’ll pray for you my friend. Gods got this if you’ll give it to Him and make a conscious effort to change. God Bless You!❤
Oh my goodness!!! What Jess said was so helpful! It's difficult to control my emotions, but I do have control over how I talk to people and about them..even in my own mind.
Her words were so wise!
@@BetterTogetherTV Yes!
I love pastor holly's honesty, being in her position its so hard to be vulnerable, honest and true, no presence or need to be perfect...
Ohh man, you ladies are speaking right to me. It’s like someone told y’all at this point how literal you’re speaking to me rn😂 thank you?
This is so eye opening
We're so happy it inspired you!
How I wish we have an app called better together
I love the fact that she was completely honest with her story.
It's not easy to love people who tend to take advantage of our kindness, and keep hurting us, but what am learning is that I need to remember they're God's image and see them as God does.
Repenting is something I often do and been feeling compelled to preach about it as well, which I do.
Loving the show🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
But also pray for Gods wisdom
I needed this exact message in this period of my life. I’m going through a lot of the same situations as the ladies are describing. It’s all so raw what the first woman shared.
❤❤❤
Praise the Lord ^^
It is not so difficult to love difficult people.
All we have to do is to have our hearts circumcised through the Holy Spirit.
Through circumcision of our heart,
We can love the Lord, and then we can love such difficult people with the heart of the Lord. (Deut.30:6~14)
This is The New or second covenant,
the gospel.
This is possible only by believing in the gospel.
Hallelujah ^^
Praise God how this lines up with our Bible study at church. Seeing how God sees people.
This is a good - hard topic. I think I have been a passive person bc I hate confrontation or to think I hurt someone. At the same time I don't think I love as I should, so my prayer has been that God love through me.
✨What a wonderful explanation-Thank you because many times we are told or we’ll read do this or do that, but it may not be explained as to “HOW” ✨ Shalom 😌💛✌️
Man I really love Holly she is so honest
As a believer in Christ, I am so very grateful TH-cam's algorithm recommended this channel to me. This is my second video and so timely!
Thank you everyone for the depth of truth, Godly advice, and reminders in this episode.
So much love for all of you.

Oh ladies thank you for sharing your experiences and its changing me too. The peace of God is all we need to share for us and let God do the rest to the next person
Yes, it is a process and a necessary one, one that might not always change the other person but is changing you. Oh father, you ladies are such blessings and thank you for your transparency every time.
Thank you ❤ I needed to listen to these beautiful messages today ☺️🌹
Are you able to use more exact scriptures as you're doing your talks? It'd enrich us so much more
Amen🙏🏾🙌🏿 powerful and a necessary word. Glory to God!
Yes, all glory to God!
So I came here for encouragement in a really difficult family relationship and instantly wanted to turn away from the conviction! 😂
I very much relate to and appreciate what's been shared in the episode.
❤❤❤
I NEEDED THIS WORD🔥🔥🔥
we must start with the woman in the mirror to enact change in our world.
Love the conversation, thank you so much. God bless you all ❤

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Lord, help me to see people the way that you see me. I ask this in JESUS MIGHTY Name .Amen
We are praying alongside you!
Amen 🙏❤❤❤
Wow that's really good...that's the fear of the Lord. Repent, right there and then. Don't put it off for tonights prayers. We need to just be quick when it comes to repentance
Amen! To quickly repent and to turn away from sin is key!
Amen 🙏📿
❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I Want Shalom Perfected Between Myself and The Father of My Twin Sons... In Jesus' Name.
Amen 🙏❤❤❤
was Jesus passive before the court when he would not open his mouth? Is waiting on Gods vindication passivity? It is self control to not argue, prove yourself, or justify but leave room for God...?
No it's not. Good thing is we have the Holy Spirit to show us when to speak and when to be quiet; when to act and when to do nothing.
So I thought they would at least honor Mandisa or acknowledge her 🥴
It's probably pre-recorded
TBN has acknowledged her, as did Cece Winans. I'm sure they will as well later. Her passing is sad, let's take comfort she's with our Lord.
What happen to Mandisa
