@@roncalvin2506 she didn’t say to abondon them, she just basically said to get closer with other people who are of god, and help the people who aren’t Christian to get closer to them
@@icedcoffee2542it pretty much means to remain in or stay with (depending on who you ask) somebody or something so stay with Christ thru obedience and prayer
i am currently 12 and want to get closer with God and this video really helped me. My advice for ppl who are young like is that it is never too early or too late to pick up your cross and follow Jesus🙏🙏❤
Coming from a 20yr old it’s really amazing to see a 12yr old with this amount of wisdom. Keep this attitude as you grow older and you’ll change the lives of so many
@Ele_multiedits I was in your situation when I was your age. Pray and ask God for a Christian peer to come into your life. Pray to find a local church to go to. Fellowship with other Christians is so important - we are not meant to be alone, we are united as the body of Christ. May God grow your faith as you connect with a local community that loves Jesus
I live in an atheist household but my parents are ex-Christians. My brother is very supportive of me and got me a bible and a cross necklace . I am trying to get closer to God and listening to Ashley really helps me. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Keep praying for your parents. God is testing your faith. Study all things faith. Look into Pastor Henderson on The Courts Of Heaven. Take your time and go to God as a child. He loves you and never wants you to feel condemned. He will correct you because He loves you. Trust him and stay in His face. God bless you.❤😊
Hey everyone I just wanted to give you an update. I’ve prayed for my family to be saved more times than I can count and the Lord is truly amazing. My sister has found God, my brother has found God, and my mom is extremely supportive of all of us. I still pray for my parents to find their way back to the Lord, and I see it happening soon for my mom. Ashley has continued to help me in my faith journey, and I pray for my faith and my family’s faith to grow and that we become more connected with the Lord. Praise the Lord!
wow this came at a perfect time. in the past week i've been trying to get out of my lukewarm period edit: to everyone in the replies, know that we're in this together and i'm so proud of us for wanting to take the big step
I’m 12 years old, as of September I realized that I was lukewarm, now I’m doing my best to read my Bible everyday, and praying more, I really appreciate people like you try to help people like me try to grow closer to God, God bless you ❤️❤️❤️
I advise you to follow the religion of Islam. My life changed when I became a Muslim. I feel a psychological comfort that I had never felt before. Try my advice and you will not regret it. Search for the Qur’an and listen for one minute and you will feel comfortable.
For everyone out there: it’s never too late to turn your life around. Also.. you don’t have to hit rock bottom to turn your life around. You know what’s right, just do it now! Don’t wait to hit rock bottom.
And on the other side of the spectrum, don’t feel like you need a testimony of hitting rock-bottom or staying at all, following Jesus from your youth is also a beautiful testimony that will save you some heartache. Psalm 118.
I'm 14 years old, and I truly believe God has led me to this video. Today I went on a surten posture for the Lord and just prayed, surrending my life to Him. I asked God to remove the old me and to have a relationship with Him, and be on fire for Him again. Today, I came to the realization that i really need to make right with God and stop playing around with wordly things and sin. It's never too late to find Jesus and to pick up your cross. Jesus loves you!🙏❤️
❤🔥 I am 10 years old and I am watching this because I am craving God sooo much I I just feel like I don't have enough of him and this video really helped! I love your videos! You are really going to help me with my relationship with Jesus and I I'm going to watch the video again and take notes! Love you❤ Tysm! Edit: tysm for 11 likes🤗 it may seem really little but it means the world to me because I never had so many likes!
This is great u will start middle school and stuff soon there will be a lot of tempting stuff but just remember God loves u plz and I mean plz do not fall into the traps that Satan tries to throw at u cause I'm going to highschool soon and ok how middle school was for me people might seem cool and fun doing bad things but just remember what would u do if Jesus was there and that he is always watching u and he loves u God bless u and I hope u succeed in life
It's so nice to see someone who's young that wants to be with Christ, I'm so proud of you and also is Jesus, you're maybe going to struggle a bit but he's with you,and will never abandon or forget you, remember that! ❤️
Yes! That is so good! ❤ Hold onto God in tough times. I know that staying consistent in your relationship with Christ can be hard in the busy times, but hold onto him and PRAY all of the time because that kept my relationship strong.
I’m 14 years old and I have been going back and forth between being lukewarm and a strong believer in Christ I have developed really bad habits that pulled me away from the lord. But watching this video really made me realize how important Jesus is and the Holy Spirit thank you so much Ashly for helping me realize that
Im 16 years old and I've really struggled with consistently spending time with God, so this is such a encouragement and it's so motivating for me to be in the word and seeking him 💛✨❤️🔥
I’ve been struggling with how to balance technology and faith in our home, and ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ provided some amazing insights that we’ve already started using
I’m currently 40 and I came to Jesus and got batized in Dec 2021, I didnt even believe in God and had no other religion, so it’s never late! Living with Jesus has set me free from the sins, wrong mindset, worldly friendships… I thought I knew what life was but the Holy Spirit showed me the truth about everything! Just cant believe how I was able to live without God for that long!
I needed to hear this today. Lately, I've been fighting sexual temptation so much and if I sin, I'll wake up at like 2am and instantly crying for forgiveness. I've felt conviction most of my life, but never as much as I am now.
I am in this situation right now! Just broke up with my boyfriend in order to be pure again in my relationship with Christ. When we would do it, I would sink after bawling my eyes because the spirit is sensitive. God is good!!
We don’t need to ask for forgiveness bc he has already forgiven us! Come back to him and pray for him to make his desires your desires, and let’s learn not to trust our thoughts, but instead Gods word. That has helped me fight temptation a lot
I advise you to embrace the religion of Islam. I now feel a sense of comfort that I have never felt before. I have become a Muslim. Try listening to the Qur’an and you will not regret it. Believe me.
❤️🔥 I'm trying to grow my relationship with Jesus. My parents are Christian but they personally don't like to go to church so I made the decision that I would be going by myself on Sundays because I really want to get to know Him and take action in my beliefs!! Im going to church for the first time this Sunday im so excited to finally get to go
I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression. I was exactly like you, partying and doing things I shouldn’t have been doing. In 2020 I had my life touch my God. And now I feel like I’m slipping back and feel bad that I slip back. May God help me strengthen my relationship with Him.
Remember that shame and gilt is not from the Lord it is from the devil. God convics us and helps us to be better and to pursue him. I know how you feel I struggled for years with similar things and Jesus set me free. Keep going and know that you are not alone God is always there with you even if you don't feel him. I'm praying for you sister ❤❤❤
The Lord is your strength, ask God to help you through temptation and help you resist and stay on track!! He is with you!!! Give yourself grace but not excuses to fall into sin. It is well!!!❤❤❤
Remember no one talks to you more than you talk to yourself. So be nice to yourself, speaking compassion to yourself and spend time in prayer. Just remember that when the prodigal son returned his father greeted him with open arms.
I used to struggle with depression and anxiety and God delivered me completely. I was tired of living in sin and I surrendered my life to Jesus as a living sacrifice. Repent and turn from your sin, you are forgiven. Shame, guilt and condemnation is not your portion. Praise, praise, praise to remove the spirit of heaviness. God loves you, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Perfect timing, I got born again last year was on fire for god , been dealing with schizophrenia and being in and out of hospitals, since being put on meds I’ve felt different more lukewarm haven’t read my bible or prayed. Ur channel is a light in the dark tunnel for me reminds me no matter my mistakes he is there and I can start over again.
This happened to me your not alone. I Was hospitalized twice for a month at a time for Bipolar 1. Experienced so many terrifying hallucinations. After the second time….It was hard at first to read his word and have a relationship with him. I fell back a step….and slowly he has been drawing me back. Don’t give up! I understand the severity mental health can have on your body and mind. He loves you very very much. He cares for us deeply. His thoughts for us are like sand on the beach endless and forever. ♥️
Ashley, I cannot thank you enough for your content. I started following you back before I was Christian when I was living a life of sin. God was calling me and you were one of the ways he reached me. I remember watching your videos and feeling connected to them, and I believe you, along with other people, planted seeds for me. I'm now at a point where I am fully submersed in my faith and love for Jesus. Thank you so much. Also this video is so good
I really needed this video right now, as a woman who has been a Christian for years, I've fallen into a lukewarm era. God is giving me the spiritual eyes to see where I'm trading my passion and fire for Him for the "comfort" of this world. That my next season God has been building up and now is letting me sit in the reality of I need to change. For this painful change that is coming is still my choice to accept or walk away from. As I'm reading through the Bible today about God's grace to not abuse it or if we continually decide to ignore who He is His wrath is letting us live unchecked in those sins that hurts Him. I foresee myself coming back to this video and ask for Spiritual strength.
Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, Remind this person, through all trial and fault that you are with them and that you Love them. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit.Amen 🙏✝️
Today is my birthday 🥳 and I’m celebrating by learning to grow a connection with God. May the rest of my days be filled with God’s love and protection. Thank you for this video ❤️🔥
Wowwwww I needed this!!!! Just fell into an old bad habit and was feeling so guilty about it. This message was great timing. Committing to turning away from worldly temptations 🍻🍸 👎and coming back to God’s embrace. ✝️❤️
This is exactly what I’m going through and I can’t help but be so ashamed. I’ve never been close to God but now I want to learn about him and I was not even sure how to start but this video gave me a bit of direction
@@lauralagier9404 This is so kind! I appreciate your comment a ton. 💕 Been dealing with a rough time and sweet comments like this actually make a huge difference. 😊 Thank you, sis, for showing the love of Jesus. ❤️
@@refilwemekgwe4600 You aren’t in it alone! ❤️ I totally understand feeling the shame. I’ve been listening to devotionals talking about how the shame that causes us to repent is a good thing because it causes us to talk to God about what we’ve done wrong, but we also don’t have to continue to live in that shame because of Christ’s sacrifice. Once we bring it before the Lord, then we can leave the shame behind and walk forward in His grace and mercy. 💕 Easier said than done, so I still struggle with it, but He is teaching me:)
im 14 year old, and i wanted to be closer to God, I need his presence everyday,and i want to have a strong relationship with him, i hope God help me to overcome problems, and to fight evil
ive been in my LUKEWARM ERA for about 4 months now. Im 15, a sophomore in high school, but I just want to get closer to God. Ashley, your my hero. Thank you for posting videos i can come click on when i just need a friend. ❤❤❤❤
I come back to this video whenever I need to refresh myself and remind myself how to commit my life to God again. I used to straight up reject God due to personal trauma that had christianity unfortunately tied to it in some aspects. I am trying to rekindle my faith and rebuild a relationship but it wasn’t until recently that I decided I needed to really commit to the path because I realized I was lukewarm out of fear of being vulnerable again. Thank you for the advice! I’m definitely more confident in my commitment now!
I've been a Christian my whole life, I'm 18, I go to Church every Sunday and I'm baptised and confirmed yet I know I need to do more. Thank you for this video, God Bless ❤🔥
I never comment on videos, but this morning as I was reading my Bible and journaling about it. I wrote about how I fell into a season of being a Luke warm christian and then saw that you posted this video! So, thank you! God is so good :)
i am the youngest participating person in the youth group and no one seems to be on fire for Jesus. I want to find people like that but even my so called christian friends are bathing in the flesh. And I feel so much empathy cause I know what my friends have been through and I don't want to stop being their friend and hurt them. Plus even when I bring the topic up sometimes it goes so wrong. Like no one in my school or neighborhood really understand. And it feels so awkward telling them. Especially with my fam. My brother is sining but I don't know how to tell him. (Im 10 turning 11 in June)🔥❤️
Don’t worry! Pray to God and He will show you how to help them. He loves them even more than you do and He wants them to know Him. One of the biggest things that will show your friends and family that God is so good is by being a good example and living a Christian life. 1 Timothy 4:12 says: “Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 12 And don't let anyone put you down because you're young.” I really hoped that helped and I will be praying for you! I am a teenager so I understand how it feels to have friends who don’t understand God. I am here to talk if you need to even if this is just a comment section!
one thing that has always been helpful for me in my lukewarm seasons is reminding myself why I do all these things to get closer to God. it's not because I want to be a "good Christian," it's because doing things like reading the Bible, praying, and following God's commandments as best I can shows me God's character in a way I can't understand if I don't engage with Him on a consistent basis. I used to just go through the motions to look good from the outside and make everyone think I was great and I barely sinned at all, but I realized that's not the point of doing all these things - it's actually to know God better and build that personal relationship with my literal Creator. switching my mindset helped me so much to build discipline and stoke a fire for Jesus and getting to know Him so maybe it'll help some of you too :) Jesus loves you no matter how "good" or "bad" of a Christian or person you think you are and so do I
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥I’m going to have a real, authentic, surrendered, all-encompassing relationship with God in Jesus’s Name, Amen!!! Thanks Ashley!!! So on point and Spirit led 😭
I just want to say this message was so encouraging for me. I was tearing up because I was a lukewarm Christian holding on to the world in one hand and holding Christ and His Word in the other hand. Thank you so much for this great reminder and we serve an amazing and so forgiving Savior!!
Girl! I already commented, but I'm still listening and so encouraged! My boys are probably about your age and man, this speaks loudly! I am sending it to both of them. PREACH!!! I don't know what your relationship is like with your parents, but I'm proud of you! XO
My sister works for you (Dana) and seeing the change that happened to her because of her seeking a relationship with Christ, that has made me be braver, and now after years of being away from God, I am now finding my way back.
I used to go to this church that didn't help me grow. some of the pastors put politics in their messages, and I felt like an outcast in the youth group because no one wanted to hang out with the lukewarm (baby Christens is what my bf calls us lol) kids. because of that, I never get that since of community that I needed. I had a tug on my heart to move churches but at the same time I was struggling with my faith. I started to look like everyone else and almost rejected God all together. Then I met my boyfriend and he saw me for who I was and not this version of myself I made it was crazy, but I know God put him in my life for a reason. I have now moved churches, and my eyes opened to see so much I didn't know about being a God follower. I now play DnD with other Christens, and I'm starting to build a community with them. I've truly changed as a person because I'm slowly growing in my relationship with him, because I finally have the tools I need.
It's been few months and I don't feel like praying worshipping or anything. I feel so empty inside no one to talk to or share my struggles with. I have no close friends and I don't even know how to talk to God about what am going through. Everytime I try to pray or put on some worship songs I feel nothing. I saw your video today morning when I opened youtube I ignored it and same thing in the evening I opened youtube again and your video was still first to see. I believe it's for a great reason. Dear sister and youtube family kindly pray for me and advice me please. God bless you
I'm 26 , I was a moslem before but finally I find my way to trust Jesus 💖 I got baptized on 16 March this year and feel so blessed ✨ I still learn many things about being a Christian and trying to get closer to God. I don't have any Christian family or friends so this channel is helping me so much ❤ Big thanks to you sist ❤ God bless ❤❤
I have always struggled to grow closer to Christ because of my past mistakes and I am now about to move into a stage of my life where I must work to keep him with me and my relationship with family, friends, and boyfriend. I thank you for making these videos because they help me so much and I am learning how to maintain this in my life.
❤️🔥This is a total word in season for a lot of us. I felt convicted about not getting out there in Christian community and what I watch (i.e. tv shows, movies, TH-cam, etc.). Your videos have helped me in my walk with God. I got a one year Bible last year and no I haven’t read it in a year. But I am spending time with God daily. It was a process! It me took months to be consistent, focused, and quiet. After a year or so of spending time with Him daily, I can testify that it made a huge difference in my life. I will not let anything or anyone come between my time with Him. If I have to wake up earlier I will because there’s nothing like His presence. He is so good! If you’ve been struggling, I’ve been there! I think we all have. Just start one day and a time. No condemnation if you miss a day here or there. Just keep seeking Him and you will find Him. He promised it in His word. And what He says He does. Love you sisters in Christ! ❤
Thank you so much Ashley for these tips. I have been struggling with being a Lukewarm Christian but, now I am going to put these tips into effect just as God wants me to do. We all appreciate all that you do! May God bless you and please keep creating more content like this for us all. God bless you and may you have a great upcoming week! ❤🔥
Been feeling lukewarm recently and it usually happens when I'm busy with work and other things. But I am trying to praise, pray and seek God even when busy
I'm thirteen and am trying to get closer to God after a lot of hardships. This is so helpful and a blessing because of what I'm going through right now. Thank you so much!
I just turned 17 and went to church on Easter for the first time in a really long time and I truly feel I was touched by the Holy Spirit that day and ever since then I have decided I wanted to get to know God more and grow my relationship with him and it’s definitely been a bit of a struggle but I won’t be giving up💕💕
Hey Ashley! I just want to thank you. First of all: i´m from Germany so please forgive the broken English. I want to thank you, because of you i finally decided to study the bible and want to have a relationship with Jesus. I brought my first bible a few days ago and your guides and videos really helped me to make a plan and get going. You´re such an inspiration! Only Love - Leonie
Last night I talked to somebody about my struggle letting go of somebody who I knew was holding me back. That person said they would pray for me, and today that man who I knew was leading me into temptation let me go. God is good
❤🔥, I just started reading the Bible yesterday, weeks before it I started questioning on how and where to start, so I looked at other christian influencers to find some what of a guideline looking at videos, listening to podcasts until I bought my own bible. I also looked at different bibles, tried to understand the differences, so that I now own my own first woman study bible. I would say though that the interest and urge to find out more and me being fascinated by it started a few months ago until the thought became bigger and bigger in my head. I want to find the true love and relationship with god, although it has been hard vocalizing that with my surroundings. I'm happy to be here and hope to find my way to god, which is why Im very thankful for finding your video and any help that I can get❤❤
I am 13 yrs old and always feel luke warm because I still want an approval from people who don't even care. Watching this was so helpful and inspiring! I can't wait to start my journey in Crist ❤️❤️(I can't find the other heart emoji but yeah)
Love when you said that God helped you to find good Christian music!!! The same thing happened to me, I used to not want to listen to worship because I thought it was “boring”- but now I feel so light and happy after listening to my worship playlist!!
My prayer has been answered! thank you! This Morning I went to church and I prayed for something to help me get out of my lukewarm era, then this evening I found this video. Thank You Ashley!
Remember guys, you won’t always feel close to God, but He is still there. Your faithfulness through those time of spiritual desolation can bring you and God closer together. And spiritual desolation isn’t always a punishment it’s just a natural fluctuation between that and spiritual consolation.
thank you so much ashley for this video. I have been struggling with the "disease" of lukewarmness and i realized its because i had " friends" in my life who negatively influenced me. I could never find a quality christian friends that were not content to just have " christian" on the instagram profile. You inspired my to start a chat where teen girls can connect. Thank you so much. God bless you!
Girl I have been Looking at videos on Repent, and surrendering to Jesus Christ for being a Luke warm Christian. I am going all the way to have a relationship with God. I am a 48 year old single christian girl. And I just stop reading my bible for a month and had so many distraction. So I watch Dr. Stanely about The Purpose of repenting, and Watching this channel. Girl, I am glad I came across your channel. Because I needed to hear this. Thank You!
THIS BOOK HELPED MY ME ON MY WALK SO MUCH it’s called “when your way isn’t working” all about how God is the way it’s really relatable, insightful and you learn a lot about the Bible
Im 15 years old, and i feel so so lost these past few months.Ive been trying to get in a good relationship with jesus but it just doesnt seem enough.I have so much anxiety for the future,school and all those things and God.I am trying to balance all that and literally renew my mind.As a person i deep think a lot of things and currently im trying to reset everything,with God.I got emotional watching this video,it helped me,and i will still try to be better.
I feel like I am conforming to the ways people behave, and the relationships I have with them because I feel hopeful that they will change for the better. Although it's not a bad thought, I feel that I have been focusing on their lives & being engrossed in their worldly activities, even though I avoid participating. I think subliminally, I have been allowing myself to slip up more, even when I feel the discrenment not to. It feels like i avoid alot of things I used to do to feel Christ, and sometimes I question my faith & relationship with God, as I don't feel that i reflect the words I say about how He impacted my life. I want it to be real, not just something that helped me cope in a part of my life, I want to be steadfast in Him, not get affected when my past mistakes or self has been brought up; I want to know with Jesus. with all that said, this is probably the most intentional action I had about my faith in awhile.
❤️🔥Wowww!!! God is so good!!! I prayed for him to show me the right path form my life, and to step out of my lukewarm period, and he brought me to this video!!! Praise God because he truly is soo loving!!!!
I'm 15 and i got Baptized on sunday (6th of oct) and i've been watching your video's alot to help me build my faith, thank you so much for the guidance!
❤️🔥This so perfect for right now, God has been placing things in my life recently like different sermons, Bible Studies and this video showing me that I need to be on fire for Him and stop being lukewarm. You are such a blessing Ash
16 years old, i was baptized as a baby and turned away from God when i was 8 because i felt abandoned and as if i would burn in hell, and would have no redemption. I didn't understand Jesus for so long. At all. Turned back months ago, and was saved about 4 days ago It's hard because i was saved lately and i feel this overwhelming peace. It's new. I always felt anxiety before recieving the love. But part of me now takes everything loosely, which is kinda a problem when it comes to doing things with Jesus. I can't give up now, i received salvation, and now i am God's, so i try to act like it and let the holy spirit work. Lord Jesus please help me in my ways and help me find peace, and not just peace but help me live in a way that brings you grace. Still, sometimes i worry that i will go to hell. But i was saved, and i love Jesus and he loves me and i feel it. So it's kinda that.
Ashley, thank you! This is exactly the same pattern I am dealing with. I have a divided heart and I am really struggling. This was an answered prayer. I know that it's all in and Gods way or the other way. I have been looking for things that fill the void, but nothing does. It's been hard and I would appreciate prayer. ❤
Listening to CC’s podcast That’s Joy and then coming to this video!! I feel like my big sisters in Christ have filled up my cup and I’m ready to get back to reading my Bible and abiding in the Lord!
He cut me off long ago and never struggled to keep me. I don’t even remember but I wanted a family and be in church and be saved. It’s like He intentionally made me for destructive and sins. I hate I listen to others AND I WAS BORN AGAIN. WHY am I not even connected. I feel HE HATED ME BEFORE I WAS BORN. Why do this. I have no connection to Him and the HOLY GHOST THREW mw to the world. Sick and disgusting lost my female organs and LIFE. I HAVE NOTHING AND I had unnecessary fear. Why? I didn’t even feel FULLY CONVERTED IN DARK AND HAVE nothing.
A good Bible plan I use is called The Bible Recap! It’s a year long series going through the entire Bible chronologically and the person who leads this podcast is amazing for breaking down what’s happening. She’s so easy to follow and it’s a quick thing to do each day!
YES! Literally love you and I’m so grateful this video came up. It feels lonely until you find your tribe. Thank you for the 🔥🔥🔥reminder that life on mission with Jesus is worth the sojourning. God bless you sis, thank you !!
It’s really difficult for me to attend church alone, but this video helped me realize that I won't be alone - I have God by my side every step of the way. Thank you🎉❤
Oh Ashley I am so so proud of you. I would’ve never known you came out of that lifestyle from the way you live now and Thank God you came out of that lifestyle so that you can give us this advice! This video will change peoples’ hearts and perspectives. I love you Ash!!! 💗💗💗
Just found your page, love it! I didnt really grow up Christian and now feel so ‘behind’ all of my Christian friends on the knowledge I have of the Bible, the eloquently worded prayers, the missions trip stories, etc. trying to not compare but it’s hard because I feel so much less spiritual than all of them because they’ve grown up in the faith.
"How do you fall in love with anyone? Let's think about it.. you spend time with them." Wow so beautifully said and true. It's easily overlooked in a world of increasing distractions. May patience (endurance) have its perfect work in you, until you are perfect and entire, lacking nothing. 😇👍🏾
❤️🔥 Needed this more than you know Ashley! I have been in a lukewarm season and didn’t know what to do about separating from lukewarm friends. Thank you!
😊 oh my gosh thank you this was me two months ago before I started actually doing the things you talked about in your channel I kept getting your channel recommended me over the month but I never really did anything about it or thought anything about it but one specific September Saturday evening something changed in me something wanted to stop being lukewarm something wanted inside of me to pray everyday and to stop putting God last I was cussing bad I was being so not Christian like and I wanted to become one with God and I started by reading biblical affirmations to myself making a prayer closet praying and reading the daily verse and devotional in my book but it wasn't enough I was about a month and I was like I really want to read the Bible I really want to get into the word this isn't enough so I told my mom that I was wanting to get a Bible she was so sweet and supportive and she's like oh my gosh she's fine one that you want The problem was I couldn't I looked for a long time and wanted to find the right Bible I looked for a while and then finally about a week ago I found the Bible for me It's called a CSB she reads truth Bible It's so amazing I couldn't recommend it more It's the most accurate and easy to understand Bible out there and on the The first page of each new book there is a verse of the book like the overall verse of the entire book that's the most important and it has a page dedicated to the timeline the background the purpose of the book and a reason to give thanks It's been the best Bible ever It also has maps to help you understand that geological and geography of the places talked about in the Bible which is super helpful I decided to go in with the proverbs challenge It's going amazing and I love putting God first And guys if you go well I want to put God first but I've got school in the morning and I don't have time to read the Bible girl yes you do I have time as well and that if that means having a sacrifice 20 to 30 minutes of sleep just to be able to read your Bible just to be able to put God first do it because in the long run it is so worth it you got to run towards Jesus you got to put them first Your life will be so much better once you do that I'm telling you my life hasn't been better I've got God in my life and he's just giving me peace That doesn't mean I don't worry sometimes but I just remember that God's and control of it all and that relationship I've been with him I want to be the best god-loving Christian that I can be and all of my relationships and friendships in my life and I want people to honestly say that they see God in me I want to become one with God God bless you guys and I hope this inspired you and Ashley You're the one who started all this You're the one who sparked me to want to read the Bible You're the one who sparked me to do the biblical affirmations in the prayer wall All of it started with you so thank you this video has been perfect for me because I'm truly now making time for God in my life has been so good because of it I had two god moments in October that were just literally life-changing I finally got to meet a Christian friend who's just as on fire as Jesus is me We can share all of our favorite Christian songs together you can just talk about Jesus and how much he means to us and something else happened over that I just really want to share but it was personal and special and he came through It's amazing what the Lord can do and ever since I've started reading the Bible I don't ever want to go back to not reading it I want to read it everyday and every night and every morning and if I don't have time I wake up earlier to put him first I'm a sacrifices for him because in the long run it's going to be so worth it Now I can't even imagine my morning routine without Jesus spending time with Jesus I can't imagine not having him in my morning team I can't imagine listening to secular music anymore Now there are days where I listen to regular music but I try to listen to Christian music more often than secular and I feel like I've done a great job at that as a person once a week I dedicate a whole evening to Jesus on Friday nights one of the ways I implement Jesus and I relax and unwind and decost from the week prior is this I start off at 6:00 by turning off my phone I powered off I put it away I hide it so I don't get on it I go straight to TH-cam type in good encouraging sermons on TH-cam I watch one or two depending on how long they are I go put a fancy glass into the freezer to chill then start my bath I get all the candles all the neon lights everything you need once the bast done filling up I take that cup out of the freezer and I make a cherry limeade I use one full can of Sprite 1 tbsp of cherry syrup and one quarter of a lime then after that I get in my bath and turn on my long Christian worship playlist I pray to God ask him to make me new and I invite him into my holy girl bath not my dad go bath but my that Christian girl holy bath where Jesus is invited and I pray pray pray pray and worship to him while having a self-care night I implement Jesus into it I bring him into it and I pray I sing my heart out take care of myself and praise Jesus and thank him and let go of all of the weeks greatest and lowest and give it to him after that I feel so new and amazed and then I go read my Bible I read one chapter of my Bible and then that is how I spend time with Jesus in the evening every single Friday I try to do this because it just really helps me let go of anything I'm worried about to God from the past week and I asked him to make me new and it's a way to unwind and spend time with Jesus and put him first and it's a great way to end my week and I every Thursday night gets so excited I get look forward to it It's something I have to look forward to instead of me spending that evening watching an endlessly scrolling on TH-cam or doing something else like going out to partying or texting with my friends I spend time with Jesus and it's so much more worth it than doing anything I highly encourage that if you don't have a dedicated one night or even morning a week to Jesus you should try to do that cuz it really makes a huge difference and it changes your life pick whether you want that time to be in the morning or the evening whenever your schedule allows it I recommend you do this on the weekend you pick a time would you spend two to three hours with just Jesus and whatever that may look like I encourage you to try it and God bless you
You have helped me so so much in my spiritual life and now I have reach this far sometimes I feel like I am losing my fire but I pray and watch your videos love u so so much my sister
This is good I had one sister who tried to help me but I feel I went too far and THE HOLY GHOST threw me out. I waste and sick. It’s really bad. Disgusting and I had bad depression and fuss. I hate that I went back. And that God let me or didn’t elect or want me. I have been so disgusted. This is bad. Tv and lies and I was a healthy vibrant person I put a lot before Him. And now the HOLY GHOST don’t even bother with me. I smell and had a horrible surgery. I wish I didn’t look back or waste Lies. I been blind and it’s awful. Double baptize and GOD never even appeared to me.
I LOVE JESUS CHAIN! 💗

Thx bro for cliff notes. Will do best to comply
i am currently 12 and want to get closer with God and this video really helped me. My advice for ppl who are young like is that it is never too early or too late to pick up your cross and follow Jesus🙏🙏❤
Coming from a 20yr old it’s really amazing to see a 12yr old with this amount of wisdom. Keep this attitude as you grow older and you’ll change the lives of so many
wow! beautiful to have this drive at 12! Jesus loves you!
@koniahjeniekejeffrey1373PRAISE GOD MOST HIGH!!
So proud of you
my fellow 12 yr! I wholeheartedly agree with you!
I am 15 and I'm trying to get closer to God but I don't have any Christian family or friends so internet is helping me 😊
Girl me too!
@@Urmoms.favourite sorry sis ❤️🩹🫶
@Ele_multiedits I was in your situation when I was your age. Pray and ask God for a Christian peer to come into your life. Pray to find a local church to go to. Fellowship with other Christians is so important - we are not meant to be alone, we are united as the body of Christ. May God grow your faith as you connect with a local community that loves Jesus
@@hummingbirdhappy1628 thanks sister, I am praying for that, may Jesus bless you 🥰
Meeee too❤
I live in an atheist household but my parents are ex-Christians. My brother is very supportive of me and got me a bible and a cross necklace . I am trying to get closer to God and listening to Ashley really helps me. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Lovely to hear of your brother's support - that in itself is a blessing
@@marvaff6878 I truly agree, praise Jesus!
Aww I’m genuinely so happy that you want to be closer to God ,even tho there’s is some circumstances,stay strong with the help of the lord ☀️🙌
Keep praying for your parents. God is testing your faith. Study all things faith. Look into Pastor Henderson on The Courts Of Heaven. Take your time and go to God as a child. He loves you and never wants you to feel condemned. He will correct you because He loves you. Trust him and stay in His face. God bless you.❤😊
Hey everyone I just wanted to give you an update. I’ve prayed for my family to be saved more times than I can count and the Lord is truly amazing. My sister has found God, my brother has found God, and my mom is extremely supportive of all of us. I still pray for my parents to find their way back to the Lord, and I see it happening soon for my mom. Ashley has continued to help me in my faith journey, and I pray for my faith and my family’s faith to grow and that we become more connected with the Lord. Praise the Lord!

I advise you to follow the religion of Islam. My life changed when I became a Muslim. I feel a psychological comfort that I had never felt before. Try my advice and you will not regret it. Search for the Qur’an and listen for one minute and you will feel comfortable.
For everyone out there: it’s never too late to turn your life around. Also.. you don’t have to hit rock bottom to turn your life around. You know what’s right, just do it now! Don’t wait to hit rock bottom.
I love this!❤
Thank you 🥺🥺🥺 I really appreciate it
And on the other side of the spectrum, don’t feel like you need a testimony of hitting rock-bottom or staying at all, following Jesus from your youth is also a beautiful testimony that will save you some heartache. Psalm 118.
Thanks for posting this. I needed to see it exactly when I did ❤

I'm 14 years old, and I truly believe God has led me to this video.
Today I went on a surten posture for the Lord and just prayed, surrending my life to Him. I asked God to remove the old me and to have a relationship with Him, and be on fire for Him again. Today, I came to the realization that i really need to make right with God and stop playing around with wordly things and sin. It's never too late to find Jesus and to pick up your cross. Jesus loves you!🙏❤️
❤🔥 I am 10 years old and I am watching this because I am craving God sooo much I I just feel like I don't have enough of him and this video really helped! I love your videos!

It's so nice to see someone who's young that wants to be with Christ, I'm so proud of you and also is Jesus, you're maybe going to struggle a bit but he's with you,and will never abandon or forget you, remember that! ❤️
Thank you all so much for your likes and replies! I really appreciate it!🤗
Yes! That is so good! ❤ Hold onto God in tough times. I know that staying consistent in your relationship with Christ can be hard in the busy times, but hold onto him and PRAY all of the time because that kept my relationship strong.
I’m 14 years old and I have been going back and forth between being lukewarm and a strong believer in Christ I have developed really bad habits that pulled me away from the lord. But watching this video really made me realize how important Jesus is and the Holy Spirit thank you so much Ashly for helping me realize that

God bless you sister 🥰
I’ve been struggling with how to balance technology and faith in our home, and ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’ provided some amazing insights that we’ve already started using
Your kids will grow up to hate you. Be prepared.
I’m currently 40 and I came to Jesus and got batized in Dec 2021, I didnt even believe in God and had no other religion, so it’s never late! Living with Jesus has set me free from the sins, wrong mindset, worldly friendships… I thought I knew what life was but the Holy Spirit showed me the truth about everything! Just cant believe how I was able to live without God for that long!
Amen!!!!!
So true. I believe in Jesus Christ Our Lord and l love him. So true what you say. God bless you and praise the Lord
You were not alone he is always there for you even if you didn't know ❤
Yessir❤❤
I needed to hear this today. Lately, I've been fighting sexual temptation so much and if I sin, I'll wake up at like 2am and instantly crying for forgiveness. I've felt conviction most of my life, but never as much as I am now.
God love you
I am in this situation right now! Just broke up with my boyfriend in order to be pure again in my relationship with Christ. When we would do it, I would sink after bawling my eyes because the spirit is sensitive. God is good!!
We don’t need to ask for forgiveness bc he has already forgiven us! Come back to him and pray for him to make his desires your desires, and let’s learn not to trust our thoughts, but instead Gods word. That has helped me fight temptation a lot
I advise you to embrace the religion of Islam. I now feel a sense of comfort that I have never felt before. I have become a Muslim. Try listening to the Qur’an and you will not regret it. Believe me.
@@EmilyAdolfbest advice sis: Come back to Jesus
❤️🔥 I'm trying to grow my relationship with Jesus. My parents are Christian but they personally don't like to go to church so I made the decision that I would be going by myself on Sundays because I really want to get to know Him and take action in my beliefs!! Im going to church for the first time this Sunday im so excited to finally get to go
Hey! That’s amazing and I’m so proud of you for talking that step and so I’m sure is Jesus!! 🫶🏻😁How’d it go?
@@HannahsBookishThings Really good! I met a lot of friendly people and had a really good time there I can't wait until I can get baptized 😁
Nice
Girl my parents don’t like church either and are Christian and I’m going alone to you are not alone xxx
Did you go?
I'm 53 and I love to see all the young girls watching your videos!! You are an inspiration for women of all ages ❤
I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression. I was exactly like you, partying and doing things I shouldn’t have been doing. In 2020 I had my life touch my God. And now I feel like I’m slipping back and feel bad that I slip back. May God help me strengthen my relationship with Him.
Remember that shame and gilt is not from the Lord it is from the devil. God convics us and helps us to be better and to pursue him. I know how you feel I struggled for years with similar things and Jesus set me free. Keep going and know that you are not alone God is always there with you even if you don't feel him. I'm praying for you sister ❤❤❤
The Lord is your strength, ask God to help you through temptation and help you resist and stay on track!! He is with you!!! Give yourself grace but not excuses to fall into sin. It is well!!!❤❤❤
Remember no one talks to you more than you talk to yourself. So be nice to yourself, speaking compassion to yourself and spend time in prayer. Just remember that when the prodigal son returned his father greeted him with open arms.
keep going, God is with you
I used to struggle with depression and anxiety and God delivered me completely. I was tired of living in sin and I surrendered my life to Jesus as a living sacrifice. Repent and turn from your sin, you are forgiven. Shame, guilt and condemnation is not your portion. Praise, praise, praise to remove the spirit of heaviness. God loves you, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
My heart is heavy cause I feel like I've sinned against Him over and over again. God I want inner peace by getting to know you
13 years old this helps ALOT i recently started my relationship with Jesus and God
Congrats! Jesus is God ❤
just a teen girl wanting to have a relationship with the father! i love your videos they are so inspiring GOD BLESS!❤🔥
Perfect timing, I got born again last year was on fire for god , been dealing with schizophrenia and being in and out of hospitals, since being put on meds I’ve felt different more lukewarm haven’t read my bible or prayed. Ur channel is a light in the dark tunnel for me reminds me no matter my mistakes he is there and I can start over again.
✝❤
This happened to me your not alone. I Was hospitalized twice for a month at a time for Bipolar 1. Experienced so many terrifying hallucinations. After the second time….It was hard at first to read his word and have a relationship with him. I fell back a step….and slowly he has been drawing me back. Don’t give up! I understand the severity mental health can have on your body and mind. He loves you very very much. He cares for us deeply. His thoughts for us are like sand on the beach endless and forever. ♥️
You're not alone, girl! Keep your progress going, God's happy to have you.❤

Ashley, I cannot thank you enough for your content. I started following you back before I was Christian when I was living a life of sin. God was calling me and you were one of the ways he reached me. I remember watching your videos and feeling connected to them, and I believe you, along with other people, planted seeds for me. I'm now at a point where I am fully submersed in my faith and love for Jesus. Thank you so much. Also this video is so good
I really needed this video right now, as a woman who has been a Christian for years, I've fallen into a lukewarm era. God is giving me the spiritual eyes to see where I'm trading my passion and fire for Him for the "comfort" of this world. That my next season God has been building up and now is letting me sit in the reality of I need to change. For this painful change that is coming is still my choice to accept or walk away from. As I'm reading through the Bible today about God's grace to not abuse it or if we continually decide to ignore who He is His wrath is letting us live unchecked in those sins that hurts Him. I foresee myself coming back to this video and ask for Spiritual strength.
To whoever sees this, It doesn’t matter what situation your in for the lord is always with you and you will be in my 🙏 prayers. God bless you.❤
Thank you. Likewise.
Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, Remind this person, through all trial and fault that you are with them and that you Love them. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit.Amen 🙏✝️
Thanks. I am trying to hanging in there. I am going through a lot like my health and mom's health. There's more I didn't mention.
A few seconds in, and not only have I subscribe but I am convinced that this channel is for me.

You are so loved! We’re with you, my sister! ❤
This is exactly what I’m going through and I can’t help but be so ashamed. I’ve never been close to God but now I want to learn about him and I was not even sure how to start but this video gave me a bit of direction
@karamae7626 Aww thank you sis! It’s so sweet to see the support around here. 💕😊
@@lauralagier9404 This is so kind! I appreciate your comment a ton. 💕 Been dealing with a rough time and sweet comments like this actually make a huge difference. 😊 Thank you, sis, for showing the love of Jesus. ❤️
@@refilwemekgwe4600 You aren’t in it alone! ❤️ I totally understand feeling the shame. I’ve been listening to devotionals talking about how the shame that causes us to repent is a good thing because it causes us to talk to God about what we’ve done wrong, but we also don’t have to continue to live in that shame because of Christ’s sacrifice. Once we bring it before the Lord, then we can leave the shame behind and walk forward in His grace and mercy. 💕 Easier said than done, so I still struggle with it, but He is teaching me:)

@@Claire-is-a-mushroom lol thanks
I come back to this video whenever I need to refresh myself and remind myself how to commit my life to God again.
I used to straight up reject God due to personal trauma that had christianity unfortunately tied to it in some aspects. I am trying to rekindle my faith and rebuild a relationship but it wasn’t until recently that I decided I needed to really commit to the path because I realized I was lukewarm out of fear of being vulnerable again.
Thank you for the advice! I’m definitely more confident in my commitment now!
What a beautiful video. I pray that everyone who watches this, gets to KNOW God.
I've been a Christian my whole life, I'm 18, I go to Church every Sunday and I'm baptised and confirmed yet I know I need to do more. Thank you for this video, God Bless ❤🔥
What more do you *need* to do? Why do you need to do it?
I never comment on videos, but this morning as I was reading my Bible and journaling about it. I wrote about how I fell into a season of being a Luke warm christian and then saw that you posted this video! So, thank you! God is so good :)
i am the youngest participating person in the youth group and no one seems to be on fire for Jesus. I want to find people like that but even my so called christian friends are bathing in the flesh. And I feel so much empathy cause I know what my friends have been through and I don't want to stop being their friend and hurt them. Plus even when I bring the topic up sometimes it goes so wrong. Like no one in my school or neighborhood really understand. And it feels so awkward telling them. Especially with my fam. My brother is sining but I don't know how to tell him. (Im 10 turning 11 in June)🔥❤️
don't lose hope, be example
Don’t worry! Pray to God and He will show you how to help them. He loves them even more than you do and He wants them to know Him. One of the biggest things that will show your friends and family that God is so good is by being a good example and living a Christian life. 1 Timothy 4:12 says: “Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 12 And don't let anyone put you down because you're young.” I really hoped that helped and I will be praying for you! I am a teenager so I understand how it feels to have friends who don’t understand God. I am here to talk if you need to even if this is just a comment section!
one thing that has always been helpful for me in my lukewarm seasons is reminding myself why I do all these things to get closer to God. it's not because I want to be a "good Christian," it's because doing things like reading the Bible, praying, and following God's commandments as best I can shows me God's character in a way I can't understand if I don't engage with Him on a consistent basis. I used to just go through the motions to look good from the outside and make everyone think I was great and I barely sinned at all, but I realized that's not the point of doing all these things - it's actually to know God better and build that personal relationship with my literal Creator. switching my mindset helped me so much to build discipline and stoke a fire for Jesus and getting to know Him so maybe it'll help some of you too :) Jesus loves you no matter how "good" or "bad" of a Christian or person you think you are and so do I
I am 15 years old and i really want to be consistent in spending time with God. I was a lukewarm Christian before and this video really helped me
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥I’m going to have a real, authentic, surrendered, all-encompassing relationship with God in Jesus’s Name, Amen!!! Thanks Ashley!!! So on point and Spirit led 😭
I just want to say this message was so encouraging for me. I was tearing up because I was a lukewarm Christian holding on to the world in one hand and holding Christ and His Word in the other hand. Thank you so much for this great reminder and we serve an amazing and so forgiving Savior!!
Girl! I already commented, but I'm still listening and so encouraged! My boys are probably about your age and man, this speaks loudly! I am sending it to both of them. PREACH!!! I don't know what your relationship is like with your parents, but I'm proud of you! XO
My sister works for you (Dana) and seeing the change that happened to her because of her seeking a relationship with Christ, that has made me be braver, and now after years of being away from God, I am now finding my way back.
God is speaking to me! Thank you Jesus.💛
I LOVE THE FACT THat there's so much love and community in the comments. ❤
I used to go to this church that didn't help me grow. some of the pastors put politics in their messages, and I felt like an outcast in the youth group because no one wanted to hang out with the lukewarm (baby Christens is what my bf calls us lol) kids. because of that, I never get that since of community that I needed. I had a tug on my heart to move churches but at the same time I was struggling with my faith. I started to look like everyone else and almost rejected God all together. Then I met my boyfriend and he saw me for who I was and not this version of myself I made it was crazy, but I know God put him in my life for a reason. I have now moved churches, and my eyes opened to see so much I didn't know about being a God follower. I now play DnD with other Christens, and I'm starting to build a community with them. I've truly changed as a person because I'm slowly growing in my relationship with him, because I finally have the tools I need.
It's been few months and I don't feel like praying worshipping or anything. I feel so empty inside no one to talk to or share my struggles with. I have no close friends and I don't even know how to talk to God about what am going through. Everytime I try to pray or put on some worship songs I feel nothing. I saw your video today morning when I opened youtube I ignored it and same thing in the evening I opened youtube again and your video was still first to see. I believe it's for a great reason. Dear sister and youtube family kindly pray for me and advice me please. God bless you
I'm 26 , I was a moslem before but finally I find my way to trust Jesus 💖 I got baptized on 16 March this year and feel so blessed ✨
I still learn many things about being a Christian and trying to get closer to God.

Big thanks to you sist ❤

God Bless you and may Jesus Christ save your soul💕
I have always struggled to grow closer to Christ because of my past mistakes and I am now about to move into a stage of my life where I must work to keep him with me and my relationship with family, friends, and boyfriend. I thank you for making these videos because they help me so much and I am learning how to maintain this in my life.
❤️🔥This is a total word in season for a lot of us. I felt convicted about not getting out there in Christian community and what I watch (i.e. tv shows, movies, TH-cam, etc.).
Your videos have helped me in my walk with God. I got a one year Bible last year and no I haven’t read it in a year. But I am spending time with God daily. It was a process! It me took months to be consistent, focused, and quiet. After a year or so of spending time with Him daily, I can testify that it made a huge difference in my life. I will not let anything or anyone come between my time with Him. If I have to wake up earlier I will because there’s nothing like His presence. He is so good!
If you’ve been struggling, I’ve been there! I think we all have. Just start one day and a time. No condemnation if you miss a day here or there. Just keep seeking Him and you will find Him. He promised it in His word. And what He says He does.
Love you sisters in Christ! ❤
Bless you, sister! ❤
Your testimony is beautiful. I been struggling with following God and be productive, but I am getting better the more time I spend with hi.
Thank you so much Ashley for these tips. I have been struggling with being a Lukewarm Christian but, now I am going to put these tips into effect just as God wants me to do.

Been feeling lukewarm recently and it usually happens when I'm busy with work and other things. But I am trying to praise, pray and seek God even when busy
keep seeking God He is right there for you He is your strength
I'm thirteen and am trying to get closer to God after a lot of hardships. This is so helpful and a blessing because of what I'm going through right now. Thank you so much!
I just turned 17 and went to church on Easter for the first time in a really long time and I truly feel I was touched by the Holy Spirit that day and ever since then I have decided I wanted to get to know God more and grow my relationship with him and it’s definitely been a bit of a struggle but I won’t be giving up💕💕
Hey Ashley! I just want to thank you. First of all: i´m from Germany so please forgive the broken English. I want to thank you, because of you i finally decided to study the bible and want to have a relationship with Jesus. I brought my first bible a few days ago and your guides and videos really helped me to make a plan and get going. You´re such an inspiration! Only Love - Leonie
Last night I talked to somebody about my struggle letting go of somebody who I knew was holding me back. That person said they would pray for me, and today that man who I knew was leading me into temptation let me go. God is good
❤🔥, I just started reading the Bible yesterday, weeks before it I started questioning on how and where to start, so I looked at other christian influencers to find some what of a guideline looking at videos, listening to podcasts until I bought my own bible. I also looked at different bibles, tried to understand the differences, so that I now own my own first woman study bible. I would say though that the interest and urge to find out more and me being fascinated by it started a few months ago until the thought became bigger and bigger in my head. I want to find the true love and relationship with god, although it has been hard vocalizing that with my surroundings. I'm happy to be here and hope to find my way to god, which is why Im very thankful for finding your video and any help that I can get❤❤
I am 13 yrs old and always feel luke warm because I still want an approval from people who don't even care. Watching this was so helpful and inspiring! I can't wait to start my journey in Crist ❤️❤️(I can't find the other heart emoji but yeah)
Love when you said that God helped you to find good Christian music!!! The same thing happened to me, I used to not want to listen to worship because I thought it was “boring”- but now I feel so light and happy after listening to my worship playlist!!
My prayer has been answered! thank you! This Morning I went to church and I prayed for something to help me get out of my lukewarm era, then this evening I found this video. Thank You Ashley!
Remember guys, you won’t always feel close to God, but He is still there. Your faithfulness through those time of spiritual desolation can bring you and God closer together. And spiritual desolation isn’t always a punishment it’s just a natural fluctuation between that and spiritual consolation.
thank you so much ashley for this video. I have been struggling with the "disease" of lukewarmness and i realized its because i had " friends" in my life who negatively influenced me. I could never find a quality christian friends that were not content to just have " christian" on the instagram profile. You inspired my to start a chat where teen girls can connect. Thank you so much. God bless you!
Hi i am a teen and i would love to join the chat if possible. I wish to have a friends who I can connect with about this
I need to join that it would be great and help sm
I realized that I had fallen into sin, not obeying God's commandments, not reading the Bible, not praying. Please 🙏 prayer me
praying for you! 💗
Let's set our hearts on fire for God! ❤🔥
Girl I have been Looking at videos on Repent, and surrendering to Jesus Christ for being a Luke warm Christian. I am going all the way to have a relationship with God. I am a 48 year old single christian girl. And I just stop reading my bible for a month and had so many distraction. So I watch Dr. Stanely about The Purpose of repenting, and Watching this channel. Girl, I am glad I came across your channel. Because I needed to hear this. Thank You!

Im 15 years old, and i feel so so lost these past few months.Ive been trying to get in a good relationship with jesus but it just doesnt seem enough.I have so much anxiety for the future,school and all those things and God.I am trying to balance all that and literally renew my mind.As a person i deep think a lot of things and currently im trying to reset everything,with God.I got emotional watching this video,it helped me,and i will still try to be better.
Thank you so much for making these videos, it makes me feel happy knowing theres other christans who know what im going thru i know God loves me:)
I feel like I am conforming to the ways people behave, and the relationships I have with them because I feel hopeful that they will change for the better. Although it's not a bad thought, I feel that I have been focusing on their lives & being engrossed in their worldly activities, even though I avoid participating. I think subliminally, I have been allowing myself to slip up more, even when I feel the discrenment not to. It feels like i avoid alot of things I used to do to feel Christ, and sometimes I question my faith & relationship with God, as I don't feel that i reflect the words I say about how He impacted my life. I want it to be real, not just something that helped me cope in a part of my life, I want to be steadfast in Him, not get affected when my past mistakes or self has been brought up; I want to know with Jesus. with all that said, this is probably the most intentional action I had about my faith in awhile.
❤️🔥Wowww!!! God is so good!!! I prayed for him to show me the right path form my life, and to step out of my lukewarm period, and he brought me to this video!!! Praise God because he truly is soo loving!!!!
💖 God loves you and me
I'm 15 and i got Baptized on sunday (6th of oct) and i've been watching your video's alot to help me build my faith, thank you so much for the guidance!
❤️🔥This so perfect for right now, God has been placing things in my life recently like different sermons, Bible Studies and this video showing me that I need to be on fire for Him and stop being lukewarm. You are such a blessing Ash
❤️🔥 I’ve slowly lost myself and my relationship with God but I want to find Christ again and make it stay this time! I appreciate this video a lot ☺️
I do that, ❤😂❤ talking to God bathing 🧼 crocheting 🧶 knitting ... thanking God 🙏🏾 for waking me up still here 😭🙏🏾 thank you Lord 🌻🙌🏾🌹
16 years old, i was baptized as a baby and turned away from God when i was 8 because i felt abandoned and as if i would burn in hell, and would have no redemption. I didn't understand Jesus for so long. At all.
Turned back months ago, and was saved about 4 days ago
It's hard because i was saved lately and i feel this overwhelming peace. It's new. I always felt anxiety before recieving the love. But part of me now takes everything loosely, which is kinda a problem when it comes to doing things with Jesus. I can't give up now, i received salvation, and now i am God's, so i try to act like it and let the holy spirit work.
Lord Jesus please help me in my ways and help me find peace, and not just peace but help me live in a way that brings you grace.
Still, sometimes i worry that i will go to hell. But i was saved, and i love Jesus and he loves me and i feel it. So it's kinda that.
Ashley, thank you! This is exactly the same pattern I am dealing with. I have a divided heart and I am really struggling. This was an answered prayer. I know that it's all in and Gods way or the other way. I have been looking for things that fill the void, but nothing does. It's been hard and I would appreciate prayer. ❤
Praying for you Isabel! That divided heart is real 🫠I have one too but no more! God will deliver us if we let Him!
Sometimes it's good to take a step back and start from square one to realize what we've done wrong
Thank you Ashley ❤️🔥
Listening to CC’s podcast That’s Joy and then coming to this video!! I feel like my big sisters in Christ have filled up my cup and I’m ready to get back to reading my Bible and abiding in the Lord!
I ❤❤❤ that podcast too!
I’m 43 and the time of being lukewarm is gone 😢 thank you for this powerful video god bless you ❤ and your message
He cut me off long ago and never struggled to keep me. I don’t even remember but I wanted a family and be in church and be saved. It’s like He intentionally made me for destructive and sins. I hate I listen to others AND I WAS BORN AGAIN. WHY am I not even connected. I feel HE HATED ME BEFORE I WAS BORN. Why do this. I have no connection to Him and the HOLY GHOST THREW mw to the world. Sick and disgusting lost my female organs and LIFE. I HAVE NOTHING AND I had unnecessary fear. Why? I didn’t even feel FULLY CONVERTED IN DARK AND HAVE nothing.
A good Bible plan I use is called The Bible Recap! It’s a year long series going through the entire Bible chronologically and the person who leads this podcast is amazing for breaking down what’s happening. She’s so easy to follow and it’s a quick thing to do each day!
Downloaded just now, thank you for sharing!
YES! Literally love you and I’m so grateful this video came up. It feels lonely until you find your tribe. Thank you for the 🔥🔥🔥reminder that life on mission with Jesus is worth the sojourning. God bless you sis, thank you !!
Ready to leave laziness behind, even though it’s hard to start the habit, it will be worth it!
We have a Father who loves us.❤️🔥
I totally understand that same here
It’s really difficult for me to attend church alone, but this video helped me realize that I won't be alone - I have God by my side every step of the way.
Thank you🎉❤
Oh Ashley I am so so proud of you. I would’ve never known you came out of that lifestyle from the way you live now and Thank God you came out of that lifestyle so that you can give us this advice! This video will change peoples’ hearts and perspectives. I love you Ash!!! 💗💗💗
❤️🔥 I don't want to binge eat anymore and I believe God will help me. I am on fire for God. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
AMEN! he wants all of us! Every Part!
We can find all our pleasure in Him! He is so good! We are designed for Him and full oneness with Him
Just found your page, love it! I didnt really grow up Christian and now feel so ‘behind’ all of my Christian friends on the knowledge I have of the Bible, the eloquently worded prayers, the missions trip stories, etc. trying to not compare but it’s hard because I feel so much less spiritual than all of them because they’ve grown up in the faith.
"How do you fall in love with anyone? Let's think about it.. you spend time with them."
Wow so beautifully said and true. It's easily overlooked in a world of increasing distractions. May patience (endurance) have its perfect work in you, until you are perfect and entire, lacking nothing. 😇👍🏾
❤️🔥 Needed this more than you know Ashley! I have been in a lukewarm season and didn’t know what to do about separating from lukewarm friends. Thank you!
thank you for watching! join us in my community the Tree 🫶🏻 thehoneyscoop.com/tree we will welcome you with open arms!
Thank you!
😊 oh my gosh thank you this was me two months ago before I started actually doing the things you talked about in your channel I kept getting your channel recommended me over the month but I never really did anything about it or thought anything about it but one specific September Saturday evening something changed in me something wanted to stop being lukewarm something wanted inside of me to pray everyday and to stop putting God last I was cussing bad I was being so not Christian like and I wanted to become one with God and I started by reading biblical affirmations to myself making a prayer closet praying and reading the daily verse and devotional in my book but it wasn't enough I was about a month and I was like I really want to read the Bible I really want to get into the word this isn't enough so I told my mom that I was wanting to get a Bible she was so sweet and supportive and she's like oh my gosh she's fine one that you want The problem was I couldn't I looked for a long time and wanted to find the right Bible I looked for a while and then finally about a week ago I found the Bible for me It's called a CSB she reads truth Bible It's so amazing I couldn't recommend it more It's the most accurate and easy to understand Bible out there and on the The first page of each new book there is a verse of the book like the overall verse of the entire book that's the most important and it has a page dedicated to the timeline the background the purpose of the book and a reason to give thanks It's been the best Bible ever It also has maps to help you understand that geological and geography of the places talked about in the Bible which is super helpful I decided to go in with the proverbs challenge It's going amazing and I love putting God first And guys if you go well I want to put God first but I've got school in the morning and I don't have time to read the Bible girl yes you do I have time as well and that if that means having a sacrifice 20 to 30 minutes of sleep just to be able to read your Bible just to be able to put God first do it because in the long run it is so worth it you got to run towards Jesus you got to put them first Your life will be so much better once you do that I'm telling you my life hasn't been better I've got God in my life and he's just giving me peace That doesn't mean I don't worry sometimes but I just remember that God's and control of it all and that relationship I've been with him I want to be the best god-loving Christian that I can be and all of my relationships and friendships in my life and I want people to honestly say that they see God in me I want to become one with God God bless you guys and I hope this inspired you and Ashley You're the one who started all this You're the one who sparked me to want to read the Bible You're the one who sparked me to do the biblical affirmations in the prayer wall All of it started with you so thank you this video has been perfect for me because I'm truly now making time for God in my life has been so good because of it I had two god moments in October that were just literally life-changing I finally got to meet a Christian friend who's just as on fire as Jesus is me We can share all of our favorite Christian songs together you can just talk about Jesus and how much he means to us and something else happened over that I just really want to share but it was personal and special and he came through It's amazing what the Lord can do and ever since I've started reading the Bible I don't ever want to go back to not reading it I want to read it everyday and every night and every morning and if I don't have time I wake up earlier to put him first I'm a sacrifices for him because in the long run it's going to be so worth it Now I can't even imagine my morning routine without Jesus spending time with Jesus I can't imagine not having him in my morning team I can't imagine listening to secular music anymore Now there are days where I listen to regular music but I try to listen to Christian music more often than secular and I feel like I've done a great job at that as a person once a week I dedicate a whole evening to Jesus on Friday nights one of the ways I implement Jesus and I relax and unwind and decost from the week prior is this I start off at 6:00 by turning off my phone I powered off I put it away I hide it so I don't get on it I go straight to TH-cam type in good encouraging sermons on TH-cam I watch one or two depending on how long they are I go put a fancy glass into the freezer to chill then start my bath I get all the candles all the neon lights everything you need once the bast done filling up I take that cup out of the freezer and I make a cherry limeade I use one full can of Sprite 1 tbsp of cherry syrup and one quarter of a lime then after that I get in my bath and turn on my long Christian worship playlist I pray to God ask him to make me new and I invite him into my holy girl bath not my dad go bath but my that Christian girl holy bath where Jesus is invited and I pray pray pray pray and worship to him while having a self-care night I implement Jesus into it I bring him into it and I pray I sing my heart out take care of myself and praise Jesus and thank him and let go of all of the weeks greatest and lowest and give it to him after that I feel so new and amazed and then I go read my Bible I read one chapter of my Bible and then that is how I spend time with Jesus in the evening every single Friday I try to do this because it just really helps me let go of anything I'm worried about to God from the past week and I asked him to make me new and it's a way to unwind and spend time with Jesus and put him first and it's a great way to end my week and I every Thursday night gets so excited I get look forward to it It's something I have to look forward to instead of me spending that evening watching an endlessly scrolling on TH-cam or doing something else like going out to partying or texting with my friends I spend time with Jesus and it's so much more worth it than doing anything I highly encourage that if you don't have a dedicated one night or even morning a week to Jesus you should try to do that cuz it really makes a huge difference and it changes your life pick whether you want that time to be in the morning or the evening whenever your schedule allows it I recommend you do this on the weekend you pick a time would you spend two to three hours with just Jesus and whatever that may look like I encourage you to try it and God bless you
I was wondering if you could make a video for teenagers and preteens on how to find Christian community? Love this vid by the way ❤!
THANK YOU ASH!!!
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
You have helped me so so much in my spiritual life and now I have reach this far sometimes I feel like I am losing my fire but I pray and watch your videos love u so so much my sister
This is good I had one sister who tried to help me but I feel I went too far and THE HOLY GHOST threw me out. I waste and sick. It’s really bad. Disgusting and I had bad depression and fuss. I hate that I went back. And that God let me or didn’t elect or want me. I have been so disgusted. This is bad. Tv and lies and I was a healthy vibrant person
I put a lot before Him. And now the HOLY GHOST don’t even bother with me. I smell and had a horrible surgery. I wish I didn’t look back or waste
Lies. I been blind and it’s awful. Double baptize and GOD never even appeared to me.
