- Hey guys in this video I'm sharing a message on humility. When we humble ourselves God can exalt us! This has also really helped me to stop idolizing certain things in my life and to be aware of not finding my identity in them!

To be honest, we should all pray to not develop a conceited heart when The Lord uses us for his glory. May we never forget to give Him glory for everything. His glory may shine through us but all praise and glory belongs to Him and Him alone❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾
Wow definitely needed this word with it being exam season, I feel like Gods stopped me in my tracks to make me aware of how prideful I’m becoming in my accomplishments which are only burning me out, rather than going through him🙌🏾🙌🏾
❤ "we have these pages that are mini idols of ourselves."
WOW!!! Our culture is this. Not everyone, but many.
That’s too funny that he is listening when he heard this before 😆
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us .
2 Corinthians 4
"Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted" Matthew 23:12 has long been one of my favorite verses. The issue with vanity and self-glorification has been the main reasons why I also left all social media, and Alex's (of Amen podcast) take on it further encouraged me to stay off of it indefinitely.
Also really love how your funny and quirky side has been showing up more in your storytelling! 😂
Agree with all of this Sandi, including the showing of your quirky side Sarah, I enjoyed that in this video :)
Ministry can be an idol. Dont be busy doing everything for God, that you neglect having a relationship with him.
The spirit of vanity is some thing that God has been exposing to me as a trojan horse in the church. We've been totally oblivious to its effects. Great video and totally on time.
"I don't need my name in lights
I'm famous in my Father's eyes
Make no mistake
He knows my name
I'm not living for applause
I'm already so adored
It's all His stage
He knows my name"
Francesca Battistelli
Sarah, you are so wonderful. Humility was the word I didn't know how to describe what happened earlier.
I've been bullied my whole life, the trauma and spirit of rejection creeps in at times even when I'm minding my own business. It's rare now but when I notice someone making fun of me or being negative towards me I find myself being prideful as a defense mechanism to not feel insecure, ungrounded, weak, ugly, imperfect, sad, self-loathing 😔 In the past it prevented suicidal thoughts, to start thinking negative things about those who give me dirty looks and talk nasty behind my back, then start focusing on my own accomplishments. Today, I got into my car and felt those same old worthless, sick feelings. Then instantly I submitted before Jesus, I didn't know what to call it but I felt emotionally naked yet so greatly loved, I gave Him everything about how I felt. The Lord said "I made you this way, your face may be imperfect to the world but it's perfect to me.. Remember what I said..if the world hates you because of Me, it hated Me first. I made you exactly as intended." Needless to say, I was crying and thanking Him the whole ride home 🙏
Thank You Jesus for loving us, showing us our imperfections and giving us strength in times of trial❤
Please anyone WHO KNOW THE LORD please pray I want my soul and life back. SERIOUSLY t.I wasn't appreciative of what God had done. I want to be saved and RESTORED. Please I was saved and act terrible.
Heavenly Father, I lift this sister up in your name. I pray that she is shielded by your love, your grace and mercy. I decree restoration and your promises over Tricia's life. I pray that there be an abundance of your peace and provision over her life and loved ones.
You are a child of God Tricia Perry 🤍
I love you.
This message was right on time for me. I’ve turned my vanity into ministry..I used to worship my body and looks. Now I’m using it in the form of fitness to bring others closer to God.
Thank you for this message! I’ve been getting compliments on my grades, art, looks, and skills a lot this year, and weirdly, I feel like that’s making me want more compliments. I catch myself thinking about someone “I wish they would compliment me on the art or thing I’m working on or my outfit” or “I know they think I’m awesome” or other prideful things. I pray that I and everyone else here will be able to discern between keeping our identity in God and what He says about us, while thanking Him for the things we’re good at without becoming prideful about them. I pray that the Holy Spirit will continually work in us about these things, convicting us and showing us what we need to focus on and work on (with His help). I pray that He will maintain a humble heart in us as He uses us for His glory. I praise God that He is graceful, forgiving, patient, and so so willing to help us. To Him be the glory, honor, and power! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I don’t normally comment, but I’m so glad the Lord had you tell that story! I’m new to Christianity, & It was such a good representation of my own experiences being in that mind frame while I was in the world. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t feel or get to that place of confidence and it’s because he wants to give me my true identity and something more substantial than I or this world can give me!! Soooo good!!!!
Wow I thought I was going crazy this WK, thinking Abt the same thing. It came to my mind, that selfies come from being selfish in a way, since it's an act that we don't need someone else to take the pic for us... I feel social media can become self centered. Since it's about "my page, my pics, my profile..." I do get anxious and depressed every time I go in it. Tks so much for talking Abt this topic and allowing God to lead your words.
Yes, I just started listening to Amen Podcast. Well, watch their podcast here in TH-cam. Also, God recently opened my eyes to this, I asked Him why I was meditating on old situations, confrontations and how I responded in them, whether I felt triumphant. I asked God to reveal where this was coming from, because I try not to go back, but I struggle. I heard, wrong desires. My desires were in the wrong place. Then later as I was spending time with the Lord He led me to Galatians 5:25-26 (KJV)
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Vain glory! Protecting our reputation. For reason that are really meaningless when all is said and done. My will should be to seek glory for the Kingdom of heaven, and represent my Father in Heaven. This video is right on time. Glory to God. 😊
I enjoyed watching your video. You are amazing and very smart. I am learning so much from this channel. Huge fan
i deleted all my social media (Except youtube and linked in ) a year ago and it's been great. especially in hindsight I realize how vain I was being in some of my posts. i am hoping for a large global movement off of social media
I just posted my first TH-cam video so this was really helpful to me. The last thing I want is to get the glory for what He is trying to do through me and I hope I don’t ever get to the point where I am no longer humble because of whatever He is doing through me. Thank you for sharing and being obedient to Him.
The Lord has been speaking to me about the exact same thing the last two days. The same scriptures and words. Amazing. This was confirmation for me.
I stayed away from social media for 8 months now. I have had a clear mind and less depressed, and I have so much time. Lol.
“ Mini idols “ well said Sarah
Thank you for sharing this message Sarah. The Holy Spirit definitely moved in me to repent of this. I restarted my career over in a new city and the Lord really has rapidly increased my skill level and marketing. I swear sometimes when i work my work as a hair stylist I do things with my hands that I don't even know how... its the Lord! Truly to God be the Glory. I want to check myself daily on this!
I've been getting compliments lately on my work or page and it doesn't sit well. Its because its the Lords platform and not my own!
I love Amen Podcast, And I Love and Appreciate Your Videos Just as Much, Thank You :) God Bless You
Wowwwwwwwww....... on the specific day you posted this, I know the Holy Spirit, the Ruach Elohim spoke to me about taking sooooo many pictures every time I get dressed up. Just as you said, I'm like "I need to take a picture or do some pointless video" hahahaha. I did it almost all the time and I know I'm not as excessive but the Holy Spirit brought it to my attention. I was reminded of the times before the selfies and how much we were just content with being presentable without taking all these pictures and videos of ourselves for vainglory. I'm not self-righteous but just as you said, literally everything makes me wonder about it giving GOD the glory now. I'd also been asking the Lord to flush anything in me that does not represent HIM and this is what was placed on my spirit. I love looking put together but at this point, I do it with my Lord in mind: it is to represent HIM and not me anymore as I strive to represent him. Modestly and sweetly...we adorn ourselves fully with the fruits of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.
I feel so loved and blessed when I come across videos that the Holy Spirit orchestrates to find me and give me confirmation. I made up my mind to not take any pics for one month, up until my birthday next month and by God's grace to go even longer until I have a better handle of it lol. I hope to be guided by the light of Christ more than "feeling myself" hahahah. I love God so much and I love Jesus for being the lover of our souls to hold us close and continue to teach us. God bless you and Adam always....
Thank you so much for sharing this! I definitely needed to hear this. May God continue to use you mightily for his kingdom!
That's funny you mention Amen Podcast because you and Alex and are my Top 2 favorite Christian ministers. Thanks for your videos, Sarah. God is using you for his glory!
Awww Adam lol. Also this was so good and so encouraging. May the Lord help us to grow even more deeper in humility and him continuing to change us for his glory.
I’m doing a study on Romans and a verse noted to read today was Mark 14:32-36. I was amazed at the humility Jesus had in Gethsemane. He could’ve changed the outcome Himself. He didn’t even need to pray. And right after reading, I prayed for humility to be my heart towards God and all He’s given and will give.
And then this video came up! Wow. I’m so excited to watch!
Thank you for sharing this message on humility sis ♥️
Sara I love your honestly.. l admire how real you are “you know what I mean,” “I don’t know” hehe this all came from such an authentic place all your videos do but it seemed unscripted and just in the moment. That’s all xo thanks for sharing
I learn to be humble in a hard way because i'm still prideful til this day. Humility is definetely a great virtue to pursue.
For the next video, please talk about the concept of self-love as Christians because for the longest time I've been going against it. Thank you and God bless.
Your platform brings us to that place @Sarah. Thank you for your messages
I just deleted my Facebook a month ago What a difference Next is Instagram 🙏🙏 This is a good video ❤️
Thank you so much for this video Sarah I loved the story about the wave. What an awesome testimony to remind us all to find our confidence in the Lord. I too struggle with how I look and my identity. This video really helped me.
I feel your sincerity, and the Grace and God ~ it's such a real and heartfelt message, Sarah. I really resonate with your story, and sometimes I notice when I am still trying to glorify myself and then I remember God and give it all to Him. I feel it's a journey, I'm being corrected, too. Thank you for sharing this message with us all. God Bless you!
Thanks Sarah. Very much appreciated this honest meditation. Blessings.
Wow. God has been teaching me this recently!!!
This really spoke to me, thank you for sharing Sarah!🙏🏾🥰
Glory to God!
I needed to hear this because The Lord called me to a social media fast in a dream and I didn't know why. But I obeyed midst the confusion.
Beautiful ❤️🦋. God bless you Sarah!! 💐✨
Very well said, may the Lord continue to use you as you share His Word and your personal experiences to help others. It's really something to think about, especially now I'm days. Thanks for being transparent. God bless you.
Yes! We are to boast in our weakness if we are to boast at all. Glory be to God and lots of love and prayers to you Sarah 🙏💕
When I feel bad about my appearance, I think “God created me. I’m perfect through his eyes” because he even knows how much hair y have on my scalp. So every time I look at myself and don’t like what I see, I tell myself that He put it there. He decided to create me this way. I’m his own image, so I shouldn’t be the judge. I should love myself because of these reasons.
Such a good message, Sarah, I loved Adam's reaction as well :D The topic God put on your heart is such a pivotal one for me as well. I was recognizing myself in most of your examples as the Lord has been working on me on the same topic for some years now. And you are right that it will be a reoccurring topic for our Christian lives. But I feel like there is such a blessing for those overcoming pride and attaining humility with God. I read and prayed about it this morning even. Thank you, Sarah. We need to be mindful when giving compliments as well, to not exalt the person, but God working in their lives and the person's willingness to listen to God's voice and follow Him. There are so many nuances, great topic for thought. God bless you.
Amen podcast is awesome!
It’s so amazing to see how Christ is the head of the church and we are the body. I have been learning a lot about humility lately. I also have been convicted in the area of my appearance and reasoning for going to the gym. But I am finding it’s so much more amazing to find confidence in the inward person. As we read in 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 3-4. Your videos are always such an encouragement, God bless you Sarah.
I feel like your videos are really leading me to God. I’ve just found you and I love the way you speak and the way you talk about God is really appealing to me. It’s been a long time since I have even thought about God. Thank you for making these videos. Would you please make a video about how to start your journey with God ? I have a Bible but I feel overwhelmed by it.
God bless you Sarah! Thank you for sharing amazing content with us ❤️😘
Thank you so much for watching 😍💕🙏
Thank you Sarah for this Message and god bless you and your husband 🙏🙏🙏
“OKAY” 😂😂😂 love it.
Hehe 💕
@@NowBloom *evil frog laugh” hehe 🤣
Thank you Sarah! This message was soo good. I know that God gave it to you. Glory to God! Be blessed!🤍🌼
Yes yes yes. So helpful for me as I am learning about humbling myself
Thank you Lord for using Sarah to deliver this message 💕
“I’m dead”😂😂😂😂
Lollll I knew you would enjoy it! 😆💕🙏
@@NowBloom i was cracking up… 🤣
Thank you so much Sarah, Jesus bless💖
God’s timing is impeccable, going through a situation with my husband and he isn’t really speaking to me, but I want to give God the glory and do the right thing by humbling myself which isn’t easy. I know the Lord is working in me as I submit to the Lord. I totally agree with you on the social media I would examine myself and I ask why do you want to post that picture or comment etc. and most of the time it is to lift ourselves up. Thank you for this video
Thank you for sharing this💗I’m glad God had me come across your post. This is something God is teaching me right now too. It’s really scary what I’m experiencing ,but I feel the necessary changes God is making in me.
I totally agree
My amazing instructor dropping gems🙏🏽💎
before getting the chance to watch this video, the verse Proverbs 16:18 'Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall' kept coming up - and then i watched your video and just felt so convicted in my heart about my own issues in life - and what the LORD still has to work on in me. Thanks again, Sarah, for being the hands and feet of Jesus. I am just so encouraged by you. P.s this video made me giggle too :)
Wow i was literally just reading James the vs about humility then i see this video!
Perfect timing 😀🙏
Thanks Sarah for sharing. Your message reminds me this verse "And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?"(1Co. 4:7) It really speaks to me.
And I just wanna say that your videos have been encouraging me so much. Thanks again.
Send love from China.
Wow! I needed this video today.
Thanks for this message and sharing your personal story, so relatable as for the past year or so I feel God is dealing with me on the issue of pride, i know that when I reach the peak of success in my life, it's when I will be the most humble before God.
Also I deleted my social media aswell (except youtube), as i felt its just an avenue to draw attention to yourself really and my reasons where not based off altruism but insecurity and trying to promote myself to a guy I liked lol
Feel convicted that I had to listen twice. Thanks, Sarah! 🤍
This has truly blessed me today, thank you
This video is so relatable! It blessed me so much today so thank you sister! 😊 God bless you as always. 🙏🏼
Wow the Lord is speaking to me through you as well!
I felt convicted to take a break from Instagram after I listened to the Amen podcast! And now I’m watching your video 🙏🏼💛
Thank you sister in Christ this was well needed!
Thank you Sarah, 🌻🌈 bless you and Adam. It's being a rough week, but I know the Lord allowed me to live. It's so good to know that even when I'm simply gasping for air to breathe (asthmatic) I can grab my phone and in listening to praise come across your content. It's kind of you to be honest yet not depressive on your channel. I know the word is so used but it is what is is "triggering" very deathly term. Like Russian roulette vibes. Anyway again bless you mama x
This is very true!!! It all belongs to GOD!!! Beautiful video!!! Be blessed!!!🕊🤍🌸
This was awesome thank u for this! 🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯 🎯
Thank you Lord Jesus ❤
such a timely message! praise the Lord 🤍
Weldone Sarah...❤❤❤
Can you please share the link to the Amen podcast ? Thank you ! I love your videos 😊
wow definitely needed
Wowwwwwww, this was the first thing i watched after wrapping up a fast… thank you ❤️
This is good! Thank You LORD. ❤
Amen ! 🤍
Hi Sarah! I hope you come back with a new vlog soon I’ll love to see how you stay grounded in Gods will when we live in such a messed up world, I’m currently struggling with it and I’ll love to see how you do it everyday. God bless u and you’re family 🤍
Thank you for the topic idea 🙏 yes I know what you mean it’s definitely a struggle sometimes, bless you as well! 💕💕💕
😇
🙏😀
It's crazy what you're saying about IG because lately I've been feeling like the Lord has been telling me to delete it and this kind if feels like a confirmation but it's hard
Define God giving and taking away?
You are very pretty in this video
Hi Sarah,
As you know, I am blind, so I cannot see what you look like, but I am sure you are very beautiful.
May I suggest a book called: captivating.
This book is written by John Eldridge and his wife, Stacey. I believe they wrote it together.
I found it really helpful.
He has written a book for the man, called: wild at heart.
I have also read this one about five times LOL because I wanted to understand men better.
Captivating or is it captivated? It’s about beauty and how a woman understands her own beauty.
Wild at heart - it’s about a man and what is important to a man, and how he functions and operates and these are the three things a man needs:
He is born to fight for something - (like the knights of old)
And when it comes to relationship: for the woman he loves.
Like Adam and Eve, though they are made for each other, he still needs to pursue her.
He needs adventure:
And he needs a woman to share this adventure with.
So in a nutshell:
Eve needs to know she is beautiful.
Adam needs to know he is enough for her and that he has what it takes.
I know that I am beautiful, even though my father was blind and couldn’t tell me so, my husband was blind and couldn’t tell me so, and I cannot see in the mirror.
Your Adam pursued you into marriage, not somebody else. There is a whole world full of women out there, but you were the one he chose, and the one whom God chose for you.
Likewise, you are the beauty God gave to him, because nobody else could captivate his heart, like you do, Sarah.
It’s obvious to me from listening to U2 together, that you were made for each other, and I hear in Adams voice his adoration for you alone.
I hope this helps
May the Lord bless you and Adam and your marriage.
Understand also that to humble yourself means to fast. Read the scriptures where anyone who goes before the Lord to humble themselves (Daniel, David, people of Israel, Jesus, etc) they all fasted. There is no other way to humble yourself before God other than bringing a body that has been completely humbled and a spirit that is contrite and repentant before Him.
