For anyone who listened to this and solely focused on the age where she felt all of that anxiety, and felt some type of way, you completely missed the message. Whether you’re 27, 47, or 87, the message is to wait on God’s timing and in your waiting, prepare for what He has for you.
Havilah, thank you. I am not young🙂. However, the Lord is using your ministry to help me even in my stage of life. I have lived ‘life’ and coming up on retirement. A new season is coming and I have had a stirring for years and have been frustrated in trying to make things happen but this has spoken volumes to me. Thank you 😊
The Lords ways are not our ways. I am 37, single, know I am called to the ministry, know I want children and a husband, but I have not seen any of it happen as of yet. I've often wondered what Ps. 37:4 really means. But honestly, even though I at times don't believe everyone really understands what it means to have to wait upon the Lord and really trust Him to fill the desires of your heart, I know God is faithful, and His seasons are different for everyone. Even if I never see my full desires fulfilled, I know who I am, who I serve, and why I serve Him. IF and or WHEN He decides to add those things to my life, all I really want is for Him to always remain my focus. Not things I want!
It's so funny that I listened to this tonight cause just this morning I had a little revelation about this very issue! My husband told my kids we were going on vacation to Texas in 3 weeks and as were discussing and going over details my youngest son who's 3 goes and puts HIS SHOES ON and is like "ready!!" hahaha! And God showed me right then how I have been about the things he's said to me (teaching, being an influence, the callings & plans)... how as soon as He says it I think He means right then and there! And then I have gotten frustrated with myself thinking I'm behind in my calling LOL... Our concept of time to God is like the comparison of a 3 year old and their parent. It's good to be ready and preparing yourself for it but don't beat yourself up thinking you have to do something in regards to timing- He's got that worked out & His time is not our time.
I am from Brasil! God showed me this video!!! I am 27 and I feel exactly like this, I am so late about everything, but God spoke to me through this video!! Thank you so much for recorded!!!
Right before I watched this video I was praying "Lord, when are things not going to feel like a struggle?" I'm feeling encouraged to do what I am able to do right now, rather than waiting for what's to come. Actively waiting, and getting to know and love the Lord MORE. THANK YOU, HAVILAH!
AND this is why you are fulfilling the purpose of your life... here you are sitting and sharing hard learned wisdom with us... why... because you care about others. i love that.
This is a WORD. I’m 27, living with married friends, feel like I’ve done what I can and can’t see how God is going to move me forward in this. It’s like feeling along the walls in a dark room. This spoke to every single bit of where I’m at right now. Thank you!!
I saw this before (and loved it) but i pulled it up again tonight. I'm 26, living at home with my parents, I've never owned a home, I'm doing what I feel like God has called me to do, and I'm not dating. THANK YOU :)
Wow! God please remember me! Thank you WOG for giving me hope to keep holding on to God. God is able!!! Lord I thank you for everything and more!🙏🏽❤️💍💯☮️💸🆕🆓📈✅🕊️🕊️🕊️🩸♾️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Havilah thank you so much for sharing this. Your transparency is so refreshing! I remember seasons in my own life when I felt I was on God's 'back burner' plan. You are an amazingly honest woman of God and you are reaching the heart of so many women with this message. Thank you!
wow recently just turned 26 and this is exactly where I'm at in my life seeing everyone and everything passing me by😩😕. I find myself asking my inner being series of questions and what I got from you is INVEST IN MYSELF! Thank you so much for this. God bless🤗✌ my time is coming Hallelujah 🙌
I have watched this a few times now and still tearing up - 27, living at home, having so many dreams in my heart and slowly starting to walk in what God has prepared for me all along. This also really takes the pressure off to reach our closest friends and family - Jesus had told me before I moved back in with my parents that a prophet has no honor in his hometown, so if this was the case for Jesus, how much more is it the case for us? We need to take the pressure off of ourselves and trust that our life will speak!
Wow! This really resonated with me! I'm only 21, but I often find myself wondering why my life hasn't progressed in the same way that my peers' lives have. It can be hard not to compare your life to everyone else's when they seem to be gaining and increasing in success in multiple areas of life, where you seem to be falling behind. But lately I've been very content in the stage of life that I'm in, getting more into the Word and focusing my attention on learning what God wants from me and for me. This really has helped with my confidence in that particular area, so I honestly really appreciate this!
So glad I came across this video! I am searching for a job now after completing my degree recently. I feel like things in my life slowed down after I turned 30. I know what God says about being patient and waiting on his word. I also know that I need to be good to myself because I beat myself down a lot. I am old now and never been married, want to be married with kids. I also know things happen for a reason good or bad. Thank you for helping me put some perspective into my life!
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm 36 and I was in tears about this very thing... Feeling so left behind, like i've lost and wasted so much time. Thank you for the hope
This is literally my life. I'm 27 living at home and doing ministry. Most of my friends are married. Even some girls that I discipled are now engaged or married. I would often say that I feel like Im running behind my life. I want to be on the mission field and do awesome things for Jesus. This was super encouring!
That was exactly what God wanted me to hear...Iam currently 25 undergoing a process of preparation, waiting on the Lord and having some fun along the way.
Just an hour ago I was in my quite time asking this question and came here and this is the first video that showed up in my recommendation. It’s 2019 and this was filmed back in 2017 talk about God’s voice he spoke to me through the entire video. Wow 😢😢
I've been listening to you speaking and preaching weekly for a couple of months now, and I'd like to say that everytime God speaks to me in a very profound and specific way! I feel like I'm being trained by Him through you, and it's been amazing! Thanks for these words, I really needed that. Thank God for what He is doing in your life, may you and yous family bless everyone that comes your way! I've seen your testimony many times, and I can say it's very easy to see the anointing that came out of your obedience to God. Thanks for the words Havilah ♥
I love how you ramble!! Lol I’m serious! You have so much great information that I’m sure one thing leads to another. Many things spoke to me through this video. My plan is to listen and relisten. I listen to a lot of preaches leaders and influences but when I heard one of your messages for the first time I was like “who is this??! “. I love how you speak the truth in love but you don’t sugarcoat anything but make people THINK and put the responsibility back on themselves to create that change they do desperately want.
Thank you Havilah! This is so encouraging! This advice is so wise and practical. I watched this on Facebook live last year and gained so much. This is life changing material. I’ve kept all these things in my heart and it’s helped me to change so many things in my life. So good!
I like this lady. Great word. I do wonder at the age examples though. What is so terribly odd about not being married at 27? It's not odd to not be married, own a home, or have children under 30. Or even sometimes under 40. Life does not just go the way we always think it should go.
Thank you so much Havilah! Needed to hear this. Thanks for being so honest, and for sharing your heart and story with the world. Love to hear you speaking! God bless you and your family 😘
Soo so so much life, hope and wisdom! THANKS for letting God do whatever He wanted and needed so that this can come from you. Mega blessed by your preach on conviction the other day on Behel-tv and today with this!! You rock!
Honestly , Everytime i watch your video. It's really perfect to me. I can assure God that his spirit leads in me. God Blesses you more havilah and your families.
I love the point about investing in ourselves. If we knew what we would become what would we have wished we would have done before getting there? Preparation is so important! And also don't be conceited but actually take yourself serious and see what God has made you into. Thanks for posting on TH-cam. Hope you keep posting your Periscopes! You were soft spoke but extremely prophetic...loved it! 😁🔥🙌🏽
Okay Havilah....this is kind of freaky.....but in a good way. You said everything that I have thought. I still live with my mom. I work and I have a degree, but I still haven't found a job related to my degree. I am not in a relationship. Most of my friends are married with kids. kids. I wonder if I'm still fertile. I am 26 years old. Every thought you mentioned you had in your single 27 year old-season, I have had. Almost verbatim. I cannot begin to explain how much this message impacted me. You are amazing. Thank you for your perseverance and your sensitivity to God's voice.
Well this was a timely message! I think I'm about the same age as you, but still haven't met the right person yet. Thankfully my relationship with God is growing stronger, and that is really precious, but I do wonder what exactly His plans for me look like. I will keep trying to know Him better and experience more and more of what He's calling me to, and we'll see where that takes me. Your message is prompting me to think about what things I need to start taking care of now, though, rather than just assuming I'll do them later. Thanks again!
I feel exactly how you feel. I am much older then you, been through a broken engagement and left me in a deep depression. I am praying that God will give me marriage soon and he already promised me that I would have twins. I'm asking that God blesses me with financial gain and children amen
Great Q: "what would you invest in if you were going public in one year?" Preparing for rain. Seek mentorship, invest in yourself, read the book, 'buy the chair', etc. I like to begin with the end in mind. Timing counts, Unbelief in yourself. Take yourself seriously. Get a good routine. Invest in yr health.
Ok, I heard this last July, but It's hitting me in a different way this morning.... I LOVE that your kids do the same thing as mine and yes, Jesus is speaking to me all over your youtube today, sorry for commenting on so many of your posts today :) lol. God specifically told me this year for many of my dreams, that it is just not my season yet... its not time yet. I have such a heart for Women's min at my church and the more I try, the more it just doesn't work.... and also for connecting women pastors in my area... and I have wanted to do it from the beginning but a sense of "I can't' took over, I wondered if it was just not for me because I am not as strong a personality as others.... I wanted to have done so much more by now, I thought I was unnecessary. But This year, God has settled my heart. actually its ok. In fact this year alone, The door is just opening before me... opportunities to connect pastors I never thought would come are, so now I'm just waiting for God's timing in my own house.... my own church. ALLL of what you spoke here, God has been working in me this year. Just thankful for the confirmation this morning.
Its very odd how similar we are. God asked me what I wanted to do with my life, and I told him I wanted to travel the world preaching. A few months later he told me to write a book. This morning He gave me the scripture in Isaiah 54:6-9 Like a woman whose husband has left her, you were very sad. You were like a young wife left all alone. But the Lord has called you back to him.” This is what your God says. 7 “For a short time I turned away from you, but with all my love I will welcome you again. 8 I was so angry that for a while I did not want to see you. But now I want to comfort you with kindness forever.” The Lord your Savior said this.
I didn't know that being single in your late twenties was considered NOT normal? I'm 33 and still single and want NOTHING to do with men. I grew up with a very controlling father. My first attempt at dating turned into a nightmare. I don't care if I seem weird to other church people around me, but I want nothing to do with men. I would rather go into ministry, whatever God will lead me to do.
For anyone who listened to this and solely focused on the age where she felt all of that anxiety, and felt some type of way, you completely missed the message. Whether you’re 27, 47, or 87, the message is to wait on God’s timing and in your waiting, prepare for what He has for you.

Josiane Silva I only met my future husband when I was 38, we got married 10 years later!

AND this is why you are fulfilling the purpose of your life... here you are sitting and sharing hard learned wisdom with us... why... because you care about others. i love that.
I neeeeeeeeeeeded this. Jesus speaks right to my SOUL through Havilah.
This is a WORD. I’m 27, living with married friends, feel like I’ve done what I can and can’t see how God is going to move me forward in this. It’s like feeling along the walls in a dark room. This spoke to every single bit of where I’m at right now. Thank you!!
I love what she said at the end. There is going to be a demand on your life... prepare for it ahead of time.
Thank you for these real and wise words, Havilah.
I saw this before (and loved it) but i pulled it up again tonight. I'm 26, living at home with my parents, I've never owned a home, I'm doing what I feel like God has called me to do, and I'm not dating. THANK YOU :)
Wow! God please remember me! Thank you WOG for giving me hope to keep holding on to God. God is able!!! Lord I thank you for everything and more!🙏🏽❤️💍💯☮️💸🆕🆓📈✅🕊️🕊️🕊️🩸♾️🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love you so much , Iam so grateful for for the life lessons you have shared with us .You are a blessing to the me and the world ❤❤
So blessed by this message. Thank you 😊
Havilah thank you so much for sharing this. Your transparency is so refreshing! I remember seasons in my own life when I felt I was on God's 'back burner' plan. You are an amazingly honest woman of God and you are reaching the heart of so many women with this message. Thank you!
this is EXACTLY where i am Havila i am so blessed to have met you! ♥️
Wow!!! A weight just lifted and I feel hope rushing in. 🙌🏽 Thank you a million times over for this encouraging video!!!!
I agree, sometimes we just have to embrace the timing of God
wow recently just turned 26 and this is exactly where I'm at in my life seeing everyone and everything passing me by😩😕. I find myself asking my inner being series of questions and what I got from you is INVEST IN MYSELF! Thank you so much for this. God bless🤗✌ my time is coming Hallelujah 🙌
"We cannot prepare in the moment" WOW. Yes. This is so good, Mrs. Havilah!
Invest in myself. Invest in my self. Invest in myself. Invest in my self.

We need to take the pressure off of ourselves and trust that our life will speak!
26 is young! I'm 39 feeling like what have i done wrong that all my dreams seem delayed. Thought i'd be married decades ago!
I love this about taking yourself seriously and not waiting for family friends etc for validation. Great word.
Wow! This really resonated with me! I'm only 21, but I often find myself wondering why my life hasn't progressed in the same way that my peers' lives have.

I love seeing your children. Finally figured out that on TH-cam I could watch & not just listen.
So timely for me. Please keep these coming!!
I can’t tell you how much I needed this. I am just binging on your stuff, thank you for sharing what God has gifted to you!!!❤️
So touched. Thank you for this.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Thank you!!!!!!!!
I'm just seeing this and currently 27. I absolutely needed this! Thank you, Havilah!
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Havilah, the Lord used this to set me more free today! Thank you!!!
That's awesome! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm 36 and I was in tears about this very thing... Feeling so left behind, like i've lost and wasted so much time. Thank you for the hope

Wow this is timely for me thankyou dear sister 😘

Thank You For Such A Great Message
Thank you! ❤️
Ok, I heard this last July, but It's hitting me in a different way this morning.... I LOVE that your kids do the same thing as mine and yes, Jesus is speaking to me all over your youtube today, sorry for commenting on so many of your posts today :) lol. God specifically told me this year for many of my dreams, that it is just not my season yet... its not time yet.

I'm so glad that I came across your channel ❤ you really speak life :) keep doing what you do! Come to the Philippines anytime soon ❤
SO GOOD!! Thank you for sharing your heart
So good!!!💖
Its very odd how similar we are. God asked me what I wanted to do with my life, and I told him I wanted to travel the world preaching. A few months later he told me to write a book. This morning He gave me the scripture in
Isaiah 54:6-9
Like a woman whose husband has left her,
you were very sad.
You were like a young wife left all alone.
But the Lord has called you back to him.”
This is what your God says.
7 “For a short time I turned away from you,
but with all my love I will welcome you again.
8 I was so angry that for a while I did not want to see you.
But now I want to comfort you with kindness forever.”
The Lord your Savior said this.
I didn't know that being single in your late twenties was considered NOT normal? I'm 33 and still single and want NOTHING to do with men. I grew up with a very controlling father. My first attempt at dating turned into a nightmare. I don't care if I seem weird to other church people around me, but I want nothing to do with men. I would rather go into ministry, whatever God will lead me to do.
I really needed this today thank you❤️
Hey,SIS I really enjoyed videos .I tried to share but it did go through
Really enjoy your videos.
Finally you posted. Your periscopes are so good.
Something New how do I get her periscope?
What are some top books that have helped you. Or top influences you recommend.
