Just yesterday, my 28 year old daughter said to me. You have to write down all the things God has done and is doing for you. She stated how she had watched God’s miracles in my life all of her life. So I went to work last night after this pondering what she said. I arrive home just this morning and here was your video staring into my soul from an iPad. I have never seen you on TH-cam before. All I could say as my eyes were drawn down to this video, I hear you God, I will write it down, I will write it down. Thank you for being a vessel of the Lord in a confirmation requiring action long overdue.
Jesus is coming soon. Everyone please make Sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord & Saviour:: please don't be left behind! Repent & accept Jesus!! Yes JESUS LOVES YOU so much:: John 3:16, Revolution 20:15
And here I am reading your comment and reiterating same thing God has been telling me through your daughter and you. I haven’t t even listened to the video but just your comment drew me in. Huge thanks for sharing.
My ex-husband texted me last night and asked what I was doing. I responded “journaling” and he asked me “Why?”. I said “so went I get revelation on something I can go back to what I wrote and tie it together” and then your video appears the very next day! Glory be to GOD! I’m on the right track🙌🏽
This was for me! Months later! My notes app is full of notes!! I go back through everything! Prophetic words, prayer points, testimonies, thoughts! Last couple of days, get discouraged, because a business idea God have had been moving, albeit slowly, dealt with some rejection. But I saw when I asked God a few years ago for it, saw when He gave it, saw when He brought my now best friend into my life, and how the Holy Spirit said she needed to help me steer the ship, and how He has led since. Then this old message I never heard showed up on my feed! Thank you Holy Spirit, I am ready!!! Thank you woman if God!!
I told my niece who is only 8 that one day, I will share all my journals with her. They are journals of prayers, tears, victories, and daily adventures into my world. I want her to see how her aunt walked this faith thing out when she becomes a young woman. I won’t let this fruit die on the vine. Thank you for this beautiful word of obedience.
Awesome word, I will go back on some of my videos, been writing and journaling the most profound things, not every day stuff, but I will, going forward, amen 🙏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
@@Katarina4567 I would love one of your paintings 🎨 🖼 awesome tears in my eyes just listening to her TRUTHS is giving me a needed boost to go back and reflect on the goodness of God. Just wow
Oh my sweet woman. God led me here. I am a recent Widow trying to find me again. Thank you. I'm a Mom, Journalist & in Prison Ministry and I Write. I'm anxious to know where God is taking me. I turned 60 in May.2024 .
You do not sound grandiose or narcissistic. You are being transparent, honest, tender-hearted and obedient. Thank you for this. This moment, this vulnerability and this encouragement💕
Concur, thank you for being transparent and honest is so deep. I thank God for what he has laid on your heart to say to others like myself. I don't know if you ever going to look at my message. I'm not worried but I appreciate and love the way you express yourself and the things you allow God to lay on your heart. All I can say is thank you Jesus. Amen, amen, and amen. 😭 Thank you Jesus 💞 yeah always and forever Amen.
Jesus is coming soon. Everyone please make Sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord & Saviour:: please don't be left behind! Repent & accept Jesus!! Yes JESUS LOVES YOU so much:: John 3:16, Revolution 20:15
A year later after this was posted and God put it before me at just the right season of my life. Never seen it before today. God is so very intentional in all He does. Thank you Father for your loving kindness and wise counsel! Thank you for your obedience sis! ❤
God speaks to me every day through the Bible, my pastor Creflo and other pastors and sometimes He gives me dreams to protect me from harm and the way to prosperity. Today I was writing about what God was speaking to me about and I thought is this real or maybe I am being delusional 🤔 because l am a loner and maybe I am just having a conversation to myself, which made me feel kind of weird. God answer ones again and it is through the speaker and other replies that shares their moments with God. I was going back and forth wondering is writing down my experiences with God have a great meaning to where He wants to take me or am I just wasting my time. Through this message, I feel company of God's presents and I know He is really speaking to me Thank you His faithful servant and most of all, glory be to God
A revelation and manifestation of the Spirit Of God. I just talked about “writing it down “ as a guest on a Christian podcast. We cannot die with our gifts, dreams ,and stories inside of us. We have to write it down. Your message is timely and inspiring. Thanks for being obedient to the work of the Lord.
Journaling is releasing for me. It’s my way of communicating with God when I don’t have the words to say. I’ve had many prayers answered from WRITING! God answers letters, write to him if you don’t know how to SAY IT! Write the Vision down and make it plain 💙❣️
i love writing to God ! it feels so nice , i also had many prayers answered when writing to him but a lot of the time i use writing just to talk to him 🫶🏾
I do a lot of journaling. When my dad died I was lost. My aunt told me to write down how I felt and what I wanted to say to him before he did. That was 22 years ago. I’m still journaling. I’m 65 now, still journaling!❤ love this! This is powerful!
I dont know how this popped up on my feed. I don't even know why I clicked on it. I LOVE how God works and am so grateful for your message. I felt your message it impacted me, hitting my core. I felt you speaking directly to me. As I sit here, still listening to you, chills running down my spine, I can connect with you on so many levels. I just need to say Thank you. 🙏
This was the same for me, it just popped up, but God planned it. Pure joy 😊, thank you Lord. Now I'm subscribed and hungry to hear more from Him through Chrystal (C hrissy) 🥰
This is so true - I’ve lost my mom, husband and brother in past year - do you know what has brought me the most comfort? The journals from when I lived through other life altering events from an attempted government coup overseas and life threatening earthquakes 2 years later. Those were over 20 years ago, but scriptures I wrote down and the ways God protected me then, are the words I needed for my unexpected journey of grief at this time of my life. You’ve left me in tears today - thank you thank you
Chrystal Evan Hurst 💙 you blessed me more than you know it was sitting having Tea with you sipping ang talking pouring in to me someday I hope to me you but I don't I will continue to Follow you as you follow God. This no accident everything has purpose ....... Love and Blessings 💘
You have my deepest and sincerest condolence. I too have experienced so much lost as well. I pray for strength and the peace of God over you in Jesus name Amen Anen. Ase’🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
3 things! 1) I saw where this was on your IG and I saved it to come back to later, but never did. (Thanks for posting it here!) 2) I literally bought your mother's book last night (Seasons of a Woman's Life) 3) The last few weeks I've felt this pull to GO BACK through my journals and read all that I've written. All the instructions I keep asking God for, I'm learning He's already given me. This is confirmation for me to stop dragging my feet and finish reading what I've written. Thanks for sharing!
I’m going to be truthful, this video popped up and seeing this woman tearful. I was reluctant to click on it because I was feeling really low in spirits and needed words of uplifting but I’m so thankful I did. I needed those reminders and yes my task is to write my list. Thank you. 🙌🙌
Thank you. I have never listened to you before. I do think that you're one of Dr. Tony Evans daughter's. I have listened to your sister Priscilla. Your family is so pleasant and easy to listen to.. You're all super blessed. Thank you for sharing and caring. Praise God.
Thank you for sharing your heart. It is definitely what I needed to hear. My friend shared this video with me as I'm walking through a transition in my life. She said when she heard it she knew that it was for me. She was right. This video was 9 mths old and still relevant. It will be relevant for years to come. So again, I say thank you. 💕 I will finish my book, and all God has placed in me to do. God has been so good to me. And a lot I have forgotten because I hadn't written it down. But now I Will Write It Down!! Blessings, my beautiful sister, praying for you as you continue to do the will of our Father 🙏🏽 🙌🏾
I am 66 and needed this. I have not followed you much but this morning God had me to stop and listen!! This blessed me more than you can imagine!! I had stop writing in my journal. Just went back and looked at what God has spoken to me. Today I arise!! Thank you woman of God. You are confirmation to so many things. Love you.
I thank God for stumbling upon this video. I used to journal daily after having an awesome experience as a teen girl in a simple way of personal stock taking. I wrote about what went well and what went wrong to remind me of what to do more or less of. After I married my narcissistic husband ( realized way too late), I stopped journaling because we had an argument and I went to journal and he planted a seed that journaling was not going to help me. I stopped journaling regularly. That was 17 years ago. I’m finding it difficult to restart now that I have left that toxic relationship. Sitting here I recognize how many times God has sent messages for me to go back to writing, a gift he blessed me with. Lord I will obey. Thank you
I've been journaling for the past 12 years every since my husbands death. Journaling is my comfort and my peace and I've learned that God speaks to me through my journaling. Your word is so inspiring and I didn't just stumble upon this by coincidence and I truly appreciate this video may the Lord continue to use you God bless
The way that God put this video directly in my face… the way it punched me until I clicked and watched. And the way it made me cry along with you… I’m just thankful for your obedience. Now it’s my time to be obedient as well ❤ Thank You Father!
Same I've seen her sweet face probably 3 days and I kept skipping video or refreshing it but this morning I was watching something else and it began to play before I could get back to phone. God confirming to me what he's told me. ❤
Me too sisters! I kept passing this video up, & figured that the content would be information I already. But boy was I deceived! This is confirmation for me also. Especially over these past couple of days where I haven’t had the desire to journal. I know this message was perfectly timed. God is so good! He will find a way to speak to us whether we try to avoid it or not! ❤️😂
@@lucykoinange4150 me too. I want back in Christ Jesus was BORN AGAIN and let Satan trick me. I want my soul and life back and remember when I was in God Not like this Body decay rot and doing whatever no life. This I didn't mean. I miss my family and life this is sick
Thankyou so much for sharing your story so openly, honesty and boldly. I received the wisdom, the lesson and the truth. It was very helpful and something the Almighty has been waiting on me to get my touches moving to do. Bless you dear Sister. I ❤ appreciate your talk and time very much. Thankyou. Shalom.
Thank you Chrystal. Tears began to flow as i watched this. I've been seeking God for purpose for this season of my life. I'm 62 years old and have lived through many different experiences: triumphs, celebrations, victories, trials, heartbreak, healing, missteps, mistakes, misunderstandings, etc. I have always been one who reads, studies, and listens to learn from others. Where God has been leading me and what this is confirming for me is that I've experienced what I have experienced (both "good" and "bad") for a reason. I have learned from it all. God wants to use it- for me and for someone else.
Thank you Chrystal I just came across this and I am so welled up, I have been writing down little bits then my son _law mom said to me you need to write a book it's a living testimony.i had surgery last week on my hand, and she said while you are home with your one hand please write your book. She passed away on the same day Monday 19.12.22 while I was doing my surgery. Blessings my love xx
I help the homeless and poor today it was the best feeling I had in a while to do something for someone else. I learn that I was in these shoes before growing up. Today taught me to don't take life for granted, show love, passion, respect, to people. I learn that any one can be a pay check away. God is awesome 🙏😁❤️. 12-22-22 I was so excited to be there.
Tonight is Wednesday 11/30/22 I was looking on TH-cam for some encouragement and the title “Write It Down” caught my attention because I like to write/ journal and I’ve been doing it a little more since the unexpected transition of MY Mother on January 25,2022 and MY Aunt January 29,2022.. I was my mother’s full-time caregiver and I’ve been asking what do I DO with my life at 60yrs old now that she’s transitioned. I’ve been asking myself what do I like. I told GOD I use to know what I liked but I don’t know anymore. Now I’m a caregiver for my dad. I miss my mother and my aunt so much I think of them daily,but they were both Saved, Spirit filled and Proverbs 31 Women of God. And to be absent from the Body is to be present with the Lord 2 CORINTHIANS 5:8. Thanks for sharing.I’m going to have to start looking at things I’ve written in the past. I pray that GOD continues to order your steps Chrystal Evans Hurst and the many other Believers in the Body of Christ at Large who are seeking the purpose of God for their lives.
Oh my goodness I am asking the same thing. I have a job now of three months but I am still feeling a little empty. I am 60 too and feel so lonely at times and know there are great works for me to do for the Kingdom of God. I thank you all for your testimonies.
Psalm 139:16 God wrote a book about you before you were born, planning all your days. He has a plan and purpose for everyone that is here! Pray for God to use you and He will. The Lord says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and more than conquers. 14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Always triumphing sounds great! Believe the truth of what the Word says about you. Turn off the lies of the devil (John 8:44). There a great prayer in Ephesians; chapter 1:17- end of chapter. The prayer is for Wisdom and Revelation. Personalize that chapter and pray it. Ephesians 3:14-end of chapter is a prayer to be filled with the love of God. Read John chapter 17. Meditate on that for a week or so "...precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line..." Isaiah 28:10. Jesus turned me from someone who spent years with extreme social anxiety disorder to preaching and talking to others about Him. All praise and glory to Him! In Revelations He says they overcame by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. Whatever God has done for you is uniquely yours and will help others. Practically, how can anyone start doing the work of Jesus? Buy some no-perishable food and a drink and keep it in your car. When you see a homeless person tell them about Jesus and give it to them. Show the love of Jesus. No matter how you are feeling, when we do the work of Him that sent us, that brings fulfillment. Want to go bigger? Get a few people together make up some bags with the same kind of stuff and go out and witness.
Omg I literally I just saw this video. For about 2 years now, God came to me in a vision and said I need you to write. And I really thought he wanted me to write a book, I sure can't write a book I didn't know how. I even bought a particular journal, and I only wrote a few things. After watching your video, Crystal, I will be obedient to God. Thank you for the encouraging words. 🙏
My first time coming across your channel and I was in tears.... This was such a powerful message! Thank you for allowing God to use you. Stay Blessed 🙏
I have passed this video for days. I kept asking myself, why do I keep seeing this. Today, I stopped and said okay let me see what she is saying so I can stop seeing this pop up. I was instantly focused on her sincere face and open to whatever she was about to tell me. I receive the plea because this message was meant for me! I am thankful for a relentless heavenly Father… Today, I acted on the prompting of the Holy Spirit and I am grateful for the message I have received! ❤
I write down everything I have over 15 notebooks that one day my grandchildren/great grandchildren will read letters to God,sermons and my feelings at that time! The Lord said" write it down and make it plan"🙏🏽
Me too!!❤been doing this for 3 years and wow the Lord does amazing things!!!!! Even my dreams symbolic and after some came to pass I remember exactly what they meant!
wow this is so timely. Ive been battling deep depression & i’m just now starting to get out of that pit. Its a cycle that happens periodically in my life. I needed to hear this. God keeps tugging on my heart to write things down because I tend to forget. Thank you so much for being a vessel. ❤️
May that cycle break right now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper. That's God's promise to you in Isaiah 54
Genesis O. Dear your name spells child of God, Depression is Not your portion, Listen to Jaqalyn Carr utube gospel,(this song) & Sarah Jakes Roberts , Sermons.. for encouragement, You are Not Alone...🙏🙏
Jesus is coming soon. Everyone please make Sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord & Saviour:: please don't be left behind! Repent & accept Jesus!! Yes JESUS LOVES YOU so much:: John 3:16, Revolution 20:15
I saw this video days ago and wanted to click on it but didn’t have time to because of work. Didn’t save it either but as I had time on my off day this video popped up again and I knew this must be something Yahweh wants me to hear. This right here was truly an anointed and very much on time word that I needed to hear it drew tears out of me and all I gotta say is YES LORD I HERE YOU!! This word has fallen on good soil! Thank you
My Daughter in Love just asked me yesterday to Journal about my life, what I've learned and advice. She said "If I buy you a journal would you write in it?" Then this morning I came home tired after a 12 hour shift and flip on utube and asked God for a word, and there you were. Talking about the importance of it all.
This message right here....SO NEEDED! You, Chrystal, are so needed in the Kingdom! Thank you Sister for sharing your tears and teaching us to disciple with our written lives.
For such a time as this! This message is for all of the times that didn’t say YES to my calling because I’ve doubted, allowed fear, or compared myself to others. I’ve wondered about how ideas would come to fruition. Say YES Cathy! He will do the rest! Thank you for sharing your heart with us. 💛💛
Glory to God! My husband shared with me months ago how God told him to tell me to write things down. He then went to purchase a journaling book for me that till this day I’ve been writing in. One day, I will testify and share my story of God’s redeeming power. ❤
For years I've been telling family and friends to write things down, no matter how they are feeling. I've been journaling and writing poetry for years and not once has anyone directly told me to write anything down. This video and its message tells me I'm on the right path. Thank you Crystal. We love you and your authentic willingness to share and teach.
This message blessed my soul this evening! I’m in a season in my life where I need to be focused on my God! I need to set Godly examples for my daughters and grandchildren. Please keep me in your prayers as I seek God in away that I have never done before.
Youre in my prayers to keep the faith which will bring Him close to you, He will choose you in Jesus Name for you & youre family in every season, in the storm and after it, Amen.
I stumbled on the path of my life, I fumbled with the gifts I've been given , I mumbled the word of God in my head instead of praising him out loud from the inside out - thank you my sister... I will still perhaps do these things, but henceforth I will write it down. Namaste'🦋
This started to play on my feed this morning November 29th 2022, and has encouraged me, In a time that is full of uncertainty for me, so thank you for allowing God to use you to feed my soul today. ❤️
This came up on my feed this evening, Nov 30, 2022. Was such a blessing in so many needed ways, also in a time of uncertainty. I love how God uses the same things to speak to different people in similar circumstances, but in unique ways. God you are truly Amazing, as are you, Chrystal Evans Hurst. May God continue to bless you, your family, and everything y'all do in obedience to Him. May He bless us all with the strength and character to do the same. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
This came up on my feed Thursday, 1 December, when I felt so alone and lost. All the pain came up; I really needed this. I thank God for this video; I need to go back to writing about everything God has done and is doing in my life.
Wow! The Lord sent me to this message 🙏🏾. Never seen you before, but this message has been coming at me from all different ways. He finally got through to me through you.
“If you don’t pay attention, you won’t see the connection.” Thank you for listening to God and for your obedience. I needed to hear the voice of God, especially in this season of my life. Thank you Chrystal.
Yes, I heard yesterday from a nonbeliever who is succesfull in life to write things down. From wordly perpective I am at a very low place in life at 60+. I'm already writing basic stuff down like to do list etc, but wasn't sure how to do it as a believer. And I was doubting if I should ask council from this nonbeliever... then at midnight I woke up and God led me to see the title...and I listened and I am very thankful to God for teaching me through your insights on this video on how to go about it, His way. Thank you very much, God's blessings.💞
It was meant for me to hear this. Just 3 hours ago I told my best friend that I have been writing a letter to God everyday for a year. And this last week I have asked that he hold me tight and keep me in his will, while I'm serving him! I always feel used but I keep doing and know that I'm serving him, that's what has kept me going! You just activated something in me that gives me more hope. Thank you kindly! I can't stop 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 This is unbelievable that he used you to ensure me I'm doing what's right in Jesus name, no matter how others do me. I'm in his flow sister. Thank you for being obedient❤️😇🤎🙏🏾
What an eye opener. I've written things down over years . I look back at my notes and I am grateful for the things the Lord has done in and through me. I needed this because this is a very hard season and I want to live out what He has planned, ordained for my life. Thank you for your transparency.
I am so grateful that I write down everything the Lord tells me. I have done this for years and call it my volumes! I always include the date, time, and day of the week in the title. This way, I can see the chronological order of His teachings and never forget a thing! It is a timeless treasure that I can go back to often! Thank you for your encouragement! 🎉
I feel you, Sis. I never had any intentions whatsoever to be an author, but through my love for journaling, I stumbled into publishing a Children’s book. My journal is a trail of lessons from God, prayers, and a testament to God’s FAITHFULNESS! That is such a good word. Thank you for sharing this ❤
The same happen to me this year . I don't like Journaling but God had a plan to make an author . I wrote down my prayers to God every day for a month and at the end of the month God told me to publish it. It took me 6months to actually publish it because of my disobedience but I overcame the enemy and published it 11.11.2022 its called Morning Date With God 22-day Devotional on Amazon. I wrote it a year ago but my own words encourages me today and I had noo idea....it was God's plan. I love this video its confirmation
I soooooo appreciate you opening up like this. I'm a writer but haven't written in a looooooong time, but have been hearing a small voice wooing me back to my journal, back to recorded notes and to write things out. I can't sleep and picked up my phone only to find that YT suggested this video. Hmmmmm. No coincidence.
The same for me. I just opened up my heart of accepting my purpose in writing. I haven't yet allowed myself to re-watch or hear myself again. After it's done I'm done ✔️ I check out... Thank you Chystal for your authenticity and transparency.
Father, forgive me that, I stopped writing you. I started back yesterday. But, so much has happened in my life that I didn't record. Thank you, young lady. You are anointed. Keep letting God use you.
You kicked me in high gear. Over the years I kept getting a nudge from God to write. Even had prophets tell me to write my books. I wrote a novelette and was writing a novel about my journals and I stopped because I was doubting myself. I submitted my novellette to a publishing company and they loved it. I got cold feet and it’s been months since I did anything with it.I got this recommended to me and I’m so glad I clicked on this video I asked God what should I do right before watching this 😭😭😭
Hello, My name is Anayah Armand and I’m 17. I just started journaling, but I haven’t kept up with it. You have motivated me to get back to it, because I really do want to see how my life has changed in the future. Thank you so much for your inspirational words ❤️
Wow, this is so timely...last night I was dreaming, I saw myself writing stuff down that I want God to do in my life ...I woke up and write everything down and tonight I'm seeing your video for the first time ever. And you are encouraging us to write it down , I will continue to do so from now on. Thank you.
Yes, on the replay, I am not detecting grandiosity or narcissism. I am hearing the Holy Spirit speaking through you and you are now realizing that you are living in your destiny and divine purpose. I love your vulnerability and honesty about where you are in the moment. You are in His presence as you share with us. Love it Chrystal. Thank you for the courage to share.
Wooooooow.... I'm a mother of 2 boys and a girl... happily married but I have to say 2022 was a one HELL of a year...and God brought me here this afternoon. I have to say my God is good because I just wrote down some of the most important things happened to me this year which I forgot to note down.. I thank God for your life and your channel... I appreciate this soo much...
I am that person who WRITE IT DOWN and every time I turn around I can see how GOD has and is blessing me. Through all the struggles, the High's and the Low's...I minister through my Testimony as the GOD'S WORDS confirm HIS BLESSINGS! I constantly tell my children and my grandchildren to WRITE DOWN... I was told I should write a book, My BOOK IS ALREADY WRITTEN...HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH PRAISE HIM. WRITING THE VISION DOWN..MAKE IT PLAIN. GOD BLESS YOU!
I almost scrolled pass this message. While listening to Crystal's talk I acknowledge that I started writing down the all the jobs I worked, and all my degrees I have. I caught myself saying why are you writing these things done, they were my past experiences. Now listening to Crystal this evening I realize it was God's words and way of showing me what it is He wants me to do. Thanks Crystal I never saw you before and I will continue to follow you on TH-cam. God bless you 🙏
Thank you for sharing....bumped into you by GOD'S direction first time today....read that Moses encounter early this morning Exo 3 for my devotion , verse 3and4 caught my eye where he 'turned aside '!....and you just RUBBED IT IN! Stay blessed 🙌
That is sooooo true! In some cases, I've been saying the same things, dreaming the same dreams, even writing the same lists and prayers over and over for years. In addition to writing them down I need to write a plan and TAKE ACTION on those entries! Thank you for calling attention to this and blessing our lives with this Word of Truth and Encouragement!❤️
I was just asking the Lord recently if I should burn my 30 some years of journals...like a personal ceremony to celebrate a new chapter of freedom. I have lived with the beast of anxiety my entire life I don't know how I would have survived with out journaling to the Lord my best friend, counselor, and peace giver. But honestly there are writings I am not sure I would want any of my 5 children, or husband to read someday. I have spoken with a publishing company and interviewed with dreams of sharing my stories and testimony to Gods hand around, over and in my life... I struggle with where or how to start! A few months ago I was weeding thorugh all my beautiful books and literally your book 'Show Up for Your Life' fell in my hands, (I love when the Lord does that!) I know I had bought the book years ago for my daughters. I STUDIED this book, I chewed, I cried, I reflected, I forgave myself and I will cherish this book forever! As a mom first at 17, and how an empty nester, you have given me sooo many blessings, thank you! Looking for my next stage, literally and spiritually, your teachings have been pivotal...INJOY
This is such a powerful message, thanks for sharing. We have so many blessings that we do not even realize because we don't give ourselves the time to reflect on them.
Hey Chrystal, thank you for sharing. I'm a graphic designer and entrepreneur, working on a product launch, and today was the first day in months that I sketched and wrote in my business journal instead of doing everything from my laptop.... the amount of productivity I've had today has been wonderful. In the midst of late night working, your video pops up and the Lord told me to watch it... what good timing, God is always listening
I consciously decided to slow down and pay attention today. And here you came, confirming and confirming everything I intentionally was seeking. I am beyond grateful for your Obedience. 🙏🏾 Cried and wrote through the whole thing...
I feel this so much. I looked back at old pictures of teenage self and started crying just remembering how much vision I had and how much God was literally doing something through me at a time I had no relationship with him didn’t know anything about God really but I knew I was called to do something and make some kind of difference. Write it down. Do it, say it, feel it, be it.
Thank you for being faithful to share this moment. I surely needed it. Holy Spirit has been leading me back to my "days of documentation" as I call them. I used to have so many journals... After suffering a life-threatening hemorragic stroke back in 2019 and the doctor initially telling my husband that I might never be the same, IF I even survived at all. BUT GOD! 🙌🏾 I, of all people, should be blessing God for my restored memories. This pod today is stoking those fires of remembrance for me to get back to writing, documenting, etc. I want to leave my children a tangible example of what it is like to walk in the flow of God. Bless you and may God continue to enlarge your territory, Chrystal! 💪🏾💯
Good morning, it's Saturday 12/3 and I clicked on this video. Ms. Hurst, I do not know you or who you are, but God sent you and this word to me "write" on time. Thank you for sharing this. It's the motivation I needed for today, the end of year and to begin 2023!!
I am not a subscriber but I am now. I was sitting in my home office frustrated and angry based on a conversation with my son. I was so burden but I didn't have anyone that I wanted to release my frustration to; more or less I had no one I wanted to talk to that would understand how I am feeling without judging me. Write it Down appeared as I was asking God how to overcome this feeling. Thank you!
You have NO sides the timing of this message. I have aborted so many songs and messages God has given me ….because I didn’t obey in writing it down….thank you ❤️
I appreciate you being so transparent with us. I found myself reminiscing over my past my present and trusting God for my future. I choose to stay in the will of God! What a WORD!!! I believe that all that saw this video was delivered and set free according to their faith! I HEARD YOU AND I'M LISTENING!!! THX ANGEL 😘
Oh my goodness Chrystal this was something God spoke to me in the middle of altar call in the midst of my tears in prayer in August telling me to write it down things He wanted to me to pray & fast for each week. I use to journal all the time but as I have gotten older I have slacked off. I am literally shaking bc I know this was nothing but God for me to watch this while I sit in the hospital with my Father right now 🙏🏾😭
Thanks for your testimony. I've felt I should been writing for a while, well, years. I must tell the World the Amazing God blessings and teachings in my life. I will show gratitude and hopefully, like you, I will bless and encourage others. I pray for God's Love and light overflowing upon you and your family. In Jesus name. Amem
Hello, I am currently waiting in the car while I wait for my son to get out of school. Your message comes to me during a difficult season in my life. This resonated with me so much. I felt the urge to start writing in I believe 2016. I started writing letters to God. And it just turned into my life journal. I have everything from hopes and dreams to the most difficult days. There are times I think I'm weird or drama queen for writing everything down like a teenager. But you have brought so much enlightenment to my journaling. Thank you so much. And also I am a graphic designer who's trying to figure out my purpose. I'm searching for work but that's not why I'm reaching out. I just wanted to say thank you.
You are not weird for Journaling. A lot of therapists suggest it. It can be very therapeutic. I believe that it is a way to clear the mind. I dont do it as often as I should. There have been times where I will be Journaling and all of a sudden words just spill out on to the paper like water and that thing that was bothering me so badly was released.
Chrystal, I’m thanking God for your obedience and rising when He told you to give this word! I’m 60 years young and have been journaling since my 20’s. I write my thoughts, fears, events, hardships, mistreatments, scripture, happy moments etc. But it has been some time since “I Write It Down”, so this is a word for me from God to do just that. Thank you for Blessing me with this video today, it just popped up on my feed. Nothing happens by accident, I was meant to hear this. Thank you for your faithfulness towards the Love of other women. To God Be The Glory! 🙏🏽
It's 1 AM here. I've been up since 11. I was looking for a video on hair and I came across this. Today I move out from my parents house. I feel this is what God has led me to do. I am however short of finances and the enemy has been fighting me with stress and anxiety. Today when I went through something that triggered anxiety and I went to the work bathroom and cried to God and prayed and he encouraged me and came through. Then I had an impression to start writing down each and every testimony that I will have in the season. Testimonies of what God has done. And will continue to do. So this word is for me. And also I relate with your point saying its also a season to rest and not overdo things
I needed this word. I'm am filled with regret that I stopped writing everything down. I write everything down from early childhood through my early 20s. But it tapered off. But over the last decade and ESPECIALLY the last 4 year since I got born again and became a child of God and sadly lost tgevlove if my life to divorce because he didn't want to walk with me anymore after my salvation, I stopped writing. So much has happened. And I have already forgotten. It's a deep pain of regret. Yet also it was impossible to do much of anything even when I wanted to going through PTSD over the last 2 years. My heart aches that SOOooo much has died on the vine. I was actually just crying about it last night. I pray the Lord helps heal me in all ways but especially this one and that all is not completely lost. A lot has happened and it really needed to be written down. 💝
Just yesterday, my 28 year old daughter said to me. You have to write down all the things God has done and is doing for you. She stated how she had watched God’s miracles in my life all of her life. So I went to work last night after this pondering what she said. I arrive home just this morning and here was your video staring into my soul from an iPad. I have never seen you on TH-cam before. All I could say as my eyes were drawn down to this video, I hear you God, I will write it down, I will write it down. Thank you for being a vessel of the Lord in a confirmation requiring action long overdue.
Jesus is coming soon. Everyone please make Sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord & Saviour:: please don't be left behind! Repent & accept Jesus!! Yes JESUS LOVES YOU so much:: John 3:16, Revolution 20:15
Yes I had the same revelation. To write down all the miracles that the Lord have done.
And here I am reading your comment and reiterating same thing God has been telling me through your daughter and you. I haven’t t even listened to the video but just your comment drew me in. Huge thanks for sharing.
💜
Yes!! same here!!
My ex-husband texted me last night and asked what I was doing. I responded “journaling” and he asked me “Why?”. I said “so went I get revelation on something I can go back to what I wrote and tie it together” and then your video appears the very next day! Glory be to GOD! I’m on the right track🙌🏽
Tell him to journal too
I just had the urge to start writing things down.
This was for me! Months later!
My notes app is full of notes!! I go back through everything! Prophetic words, prayer points, testimonies, thoughts!
Last couple of days, get discouraged, because a business idea God have had been moving, albeit slowly, dealt with some rejection. But I saw when I asked God a few years ago for it, saw when He gave it, saw when He brought my now best friend into my life, and how the Holy Spirit said she needed to help me steer the ship, and how He has led since. Then this old message I never heard showed up on my feed! Thank you Holy Spirit, I am ready!!! Thank you woman if God!!
I told my niece who is only 8 that one day, I will share all my journals with her. They are journals of prayers, tears, victories, and daily adventures into my world. I want her to see how her aunt walked this faith thing out when she becomes a young woman. I won’t let this fruit die on the vine. Thank you for this beautiful word of obedience.
Awesome word, I will go back on some of my videos, been writing and journaling the most profound things, not every day stuff, but I will, going forward, amen 🙏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
So true 👍
Lovely. Gift of heart💜
Whew... that's IT... don't let the fruit die on the vine!!!
Yessssss Sister I've been led to do the same for my daughter. That's amazing
I am 67 years old and I have known and loved the Lord since I was 9 years old. I needed this word. It has revived my soul, my hope, my living.

Thank You, Chrystal! ❤️

Concur, thank you for being transparent and honest is so deep. I thank God for what he has laid on your heart to say to others like myself. I don't know if you ever going to look at my message.

A year later after this was posted and God put it before me at just the right season of my life. Never seen it before today. God is so very intentional in all He does. Thank you Father for your loving kindness and wise counsel! Thank you for your obedience sis! ❤
Here today 🙏🏾
I don't want to forget what God has given me; it''s precious 🙌🏾
God speaks to me every day through the Bible, my pastor Creflo and other pastors and sometimes He gives me dreams to protect me from harm and the way to prosperity. Today I was writing about what God was speaking to me about and I thought is this real or maybe I am being delusional 🤔 because l am a loner and maybe I am just having a conversation to myself, which made me feel kind of weird. God answer ones again and it is through the speaker and other replies that shares their moments with God. I was going back and forth wondering is writing down my experiences with God have a great meaning to where He wants to take me or am I just wasting my time. Through this message, I feel company of God's presents and I know He is really speaking to me Thank you His faithful servant and most of all, glory be to God
Just confirmation my mom handed me a journal last night so here I go
Your obedience is freeing so many people Chrystal
Amen!!!
It sure is. I needed to hear this message.
Amen!
Factx!!!❤ definitely freed me !! I feel so pump to do what God has placed on my heart
A revelation and manifestation of the Spirit Of God. I just talked about “writing it down “ as a guest on a Christian podcast. We cannot die with our gifts, dreams ,and stories inside of us. We have to write it down. Your message is timely and inspiring. Thanks for being obedient to the work of the Lord.
Journaling is releasing for me. It’s my way of communicating with God when I don’t have the words to say. I’ve had many prayers answered from WRITING! God answers letters, write to him if you don’t know how to SAY IT! Write the Vision down and make it plain 💙❣️
Thanks for sharing this ❤

i love writing to God ! it feels so nice , i also had many prayers answered when writing to him but a lot of the time i use writing just to talk to him 🫶🏾
"They kept forgetting so the journey took too long" Amen
Yeah this is for me now.
I have multiple journals with prayer, and my fullness is God's grace and it has proven not only to be beneficial but life-changing.
I do a lot of journaling. When my dad died I was lost. My aunt told me to write down how I felt and what I wanted to say to him before he did. That was 22 years ago. I’m still journaling. I’m 65 now, still journaling!❤ love this!
This is powerful!
I dont know how this popped up on my feed. I don't even know why I clicked on it. I LOVE how God works and am so grateful for your message. I felt your message it impacted me, hitting my core. I felt you speaking directly to me. As I sit here, still listening to you, chills running down my spine, I can connect with you on so many levels. I just need to say Thank you. 🙏

Now I'm subscribed and hungry to hear more from Him through Chrystal (C hrissy) 🥰

God is sooo good!!!!
Thank you Chrystal
The book of Habakkuk says write the vision down run with it
When we don’t write it down we FORGET mmmmmm absolutely true
This is so true - I’ve lost my mom, husband and brother in past year - do you know what has brought me the most comfort? The journals from when I lived through other life altering events from an attempted government coup overseas and life threatening earthquakes 2 years later. Those were over 20 years ago, but scriptures I wrote down and the ways God protected me then, are the words I needed for my unexpected journey of grief at this time of my life. You’ve left me in tears today - thank you thank you
Chrystal Evan Hurst 💙 you blessed me more than you know it was sitting having
Tea with you sipping ang talking pouring in to me someday I hope to me you but I don't I will continue to
Follow you as you follow God.
This no accident everything has purpose .......

You have my deepest and sincerest condolence. I too have experienced so much lost as well. I pray for strength and the peace of God over you in Jesus name Amen Anen. Ase’🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry for your losses. I apprecyour testimony of how your previous written words held you together when most people would fall apart. 🙏🏽
3 things!
1) I saw where this was on your IG and I saved it to come back to later, but never did. (Thanks for posting it here!)
2) I literally bought your mother's book last night (Seasons of a Woman's Life)
3) The last few weeks I've felt this pull to GO BACK through my journals and read all that I've written. All the instructions I keep asking God for, I'm learning He's already given me.
This is confirmation for me to stop dragging my feet and finish reading what I've written.
Thanks for sharing!
So glad I posted here and you got to watch! Blessings!
I’m going to be truthful, this video popped up and seeing this woman tearful. I was reluctant to click on it because I was feeling really low in spirits and needed words of uplifting but I’m so thankful I did.
I needed those reminders and yes my task is to write my list. Thank you. 🙌🙌
Amen.
Time to write the book
Same here:) ✝️🙏❤️
Thank you. I have never listened to you before. I do think that you're one of Dr. Tony Evans daughter's. I have listened to your sister Priscilla. Your family is so pleasant and easy to listen to.. You're all super blessed. Thank you for sharing and caring. Praise God.
Thank you for sharing your heart. It is definitely what I needed to hear. My friend shared this video with me as I'm walking through a transition in my life. She said when she heard it she knew that it was for me. She was right. This video was 9 mths old and still relevant. It will be relevant for years to come. So again, I say thank you. 💕
I will finish my book, and all God has placed in me to do. God has been so good to me. And a lot I have forgotten because I hadn't written it down. But now I Will Write It Down!!
Blessings, my beautiful sister, praying for you as you continue to do the will of our Father 🙏🏽 🙌🏾
I am 66 and needed this. I have not followed you much but this morning God had me to stop and listen!! This blessed me more than you can imagine!! I had stop writing in my journal. Just went back and looked at what God has spoken to me. Today I arise!! Thank you woman of God. You are confirmation to so many things. Love you.
🙏🏾😊
Right I feel exactly the same !!
I thank God for stumbling upon this video. I used to journal daily after having an awesome experience as a teen girl in a simple way of personal stock taking. I wrote about what went well and what went wrong to remind me of what to do more or less of. After I married my narcissistic husband ( realized way too late), I stopped journaling because we had an argument and I went to journal and he planted a seed that journaling was not going to help me. I stopped journaling regularly. That was 17 years ago. I’m finding it difficult to restart now that I have left that toxic relationship. Sitting here I recognize how many times God has sent messages for me to go back to writing, a gift he blessed me with. Lord I will obey. Thank you
Exactly 👉🏾 💯 Amennnn
Amen 🙌🏾
I've been journaling for the past 12 years every since my husbands death. Journaling is my comfort and my peace and I've learned that God speaks to me through my journaling. Your word is so inspiring and I didn't just stumble upon this by coincidence and I truly appreciate this video may the Lord continue to use you God bless

Yes we must go in flow of Yahweh!! Because one day we will have no choice so we might as well choose Yahshua JESUS now!!!
The way that God put this video directly in my face… the way it punched me until I clicked and watched. And the way it made me cry along with you… I’m just thankful for your obedience. Now it’s my time to be obedient as well ❤ Thank You Father!
Same I've seen her sweet face probably 3 days and I kept skipping video or refreshing it but this morning I was watching something else and it began to play before I could get back to phone.
God confirming to me what he's told me. ❤
Me too sisters! I kept passing this video up, & figured that the content would be information I already. But boy was I deceived! This is confirmation for me also. Especially over these past couple of days where I haven’t had the desire to journal. I know this message was perfectly timed.
God is so good! He will find a way to speak to us whether we try to avoid it or not! ❤️😂
You are a true soul just love your great advice that I can do & learn from you & other's as we go through life ❤️ thanks for sharing your thoughts

It was very helpful and something the Almighty has been waiting on me to get my touches moving to do. Bless you dear Sister. I ❤ appreciate your talk and time very much. Thankyou. Shalom.
Thank you Chrystal. Tears began to flow as i watched this. I've been seeking God for purpose for this season of my life. I'm 62 years old and have lived through many different experiences: triumphs, celebrations, victories, trials, heartbreak, healing, missteps, mistakes, misunderstandings, etc. I have always been one who reads, studies, and listens to learn from others. Where God has been leading me and what this is confirming for me is that I've experienced what I have experienced (both "good" and "bad") for a reason. I have learned from it all. God wants to use it- for me and for someone else.
My thoughts exactly!!
Thank you Chrystal I just came across this and I am so welled up, I have been writing down little bits then my son _law mom said to me you need to write a book it's a living testimony.i had surgery last week on my hand, and she said while you are home with your one hand please write your book. She passed away on the same day Monday 19.12.22 while I was doing my surgery. Blessings my love xx
ME TOO!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Time to write the book
I help the homeless and poor today it was the best feeling I had in a while to do something for someone else. I learn that I was in these shoes before growing up. Today taught me to don't take life for granted, show love, passion, respect, to people. I learn that any one can be a pay check away. God is awesome 🙏😁❤️. 12-22-22 I was so excited to be there.
Tonight is Wednesday 11/30/22 I was looking on TH-cam for some encouragement and the title “Write It Down” caught my attention because I like to write/ journal and I’ve been doing it a little more since the unexpected transition of MY Mother on January 25,2022 and MY Aunt January 29,2022.. I was my mother’s full-time caregiver and I’ve been asking what do I DO with my life at 60yrs old now that she’s transitioned. I’ve been asking myself what do I like. I told GOD I use to know what I liked but I don’t know anymore. Now I’m a caregiver for my dad. I miss my mother and my aunt so much I think of them daily,but they were both Saved, Spirit filled and Proverbs 31 Women of God. And to be absent from the Body is to be present with the Lord 2 CORINTHIANS 5:8. Thanks for sharing.I’m going to have to start looking at things I’ve written in the past. I pray that GOD continues to order your steps Chrystal Evans Hurst and the many other Believers in the Body of Christ at Large who are seeking the purpose of God for their lives.
Oh my goodness I am asking the same thing. I have a job now of three months but I am still feeling a little empty. I am 60 too and feel so lonely at times and know there are great works for me to do for the Kingdom of God. I thank you all for your testimonies.
Psalm 139:16 God wrote a book about you before you were born, planning all your days. He has a plan and purpose for everyone that is here! Pray for God to use you and He will. The Lord says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and more than conquers.
14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
2 Corinthians 2:14
Always triumphing sounds great! Believe the truth of what the Word says about you. Turn off the lies of the devil (John 8:44). There a great prayer in Ephesians; chapter 1:17- end of chapter. The prayer is for Wisdom and Revelation. Personalize that chapter and pray it.
Ephesians 3:14-end of chapter is a prayer to be filled with the love of God.
Read John chapter 17. Meditate on that for a week or so "...precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line..." Isaiah 28:10.
Jesus turned me from someone who spent years with extreme social anxiety disorder to preaching and talking to others about Him. All praise and glory to Him!
In Revelations He says they overcame by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. Whatever God has done for you is uniquely yours and will help others.
Practically, how can anyone start doing the work of Jesus? Buy some no-perishable food and a drink and keep it in your car. When you see a homeless person tell them about Jesus and give it to them. Show the love of Jesus. No matter how you are feeling, when we do the work of Him that sent us, that brings fulfillment.
Want to go bigger? Get a few people together make up some bags with the same kind of stuff and go out and witness.
Omg I literally I just saw this video. For about 2 years now, God came to me in a vision and said I need you to write. And I really thought he wanted me to write a book, I sure can't write a book I didn't know how. I even bought a particular journal, and I only wrote a few things. After watching your video, Crystal, I will be obedient to God. Thank you for the encouraging words. 🙏
My first time coming across your channel and I was in tears.... This was such a powerful message! Thank you for allowing God to use you. Stay Blessed 🙏
Absolutely!!!
Oh, yes me too..
I have passed this video for days. I kept asking myself, why do I keep seeing this. Today, I stopped and said okay let me see what she is saying so I can stop seeing this pop up. I was instantly focused on her sincere face and open to whatever she was about to tell me. I receive the plea because this message was meant for me! I am thankful for a relentless heavenly Father… Today, I acted on the prompting of the Holy Spirit and I am grateful for the message I have received! ❤

I saw this video days ago and wanted to click on it but didn’t have time to because of work. Didn’t save it either but as I had time on my off day this video popped up again and I knew this must be something Yahweh wants me to hear. This right here was truly an anointed and very much on time word that I needed to hear it drew tears out of me and all I gotta say is YES LORD I HERE YOU!! This word has fallen on good soil!

Same!!! I just didn't have time and this was the third time it popped up this week. I'm SO glad I paused to listen! 🙌
My Daughter in Love just asked me yesterday to Journal about my life, what I've learned and advice. She said "If I buy you a journal would you write in it?" Then this morning I came home tired after a 12 hour shift and flip on utube and asked God for a word, and there you were. Talking about the importance of it all.
This message right here....SO NEEDED! You, Chrystal, are so needed in the Kingdom! Thank you Sister for sharing your tears and teaching us to disciple with our written lives.
For such a time as this! This message is for all of the times that didn’t say YES to my calling because I’ve doubted, allowed fear, or compared myself to others. I’ve wondered about how ideas would come to fruition. Say YES Cathy! He will do the rest! Thank you for sharing your heart with us. 💛💛
Hallelujah I thank God for wisdom
Sounds like me BUT I'm going to belive that my latter will be greater than my past.
Yes, Lord, yessss 🤲
I hate journaling, but this really hit home. Thank you and be blessed!!
Glory to God! My husband shared with me months ago how God told him to tell me to write things down. He then went to purchase a journaling book for me that till this day I’ve been writing in. One day, I will testify and share my story of God’s redeeming power. ❤
For years I've been telling family and friends to write things down, no matter how they are feeling. I've been journaling and writing poetry for years and not once has anyone directly told me to write anything down. This video and its message tells me I'm on the right path. Thank you Crystal. We love you and your authentic willingness to share and teach.
This message blessed my soul this evening! I’m in a season in my life where I need to be focused on my God! I need to set Godly examples for my daughters and grandchildren. Please keep me in your prayers as I seek God in away that I have never done before.
Thank you for this advice...it is True what you are saying
Because God blessed us since we were in our mother 's womb
I pray Gods will over you and your family and yes and Amen🙏🏾
Youre in my prayers to keep the faith which will bring Him close to you, He will choose you in Jesus Name for you & youre family in every season, in the storm and after it, Amen.

I stumbled on the path of my life, I fumbled with the gifts I've been given , I mumbled the word of God in my head instead of praising him out loud from the inside out - thank you my sister... I will still perhaps do these things, but henceforth I will write it down. Namaste'🦋
This started to play on my feed this morning November 29th 2022, and has encouraged me, In a time that is full of uncertainty for me, so thank you for allowing God to use you to feed my soul today. ❤️
This came up on my feed this evening, Nov 30, 2022. Was such a blessing in so many needed ways, also in a time of uncertainty. I love how God uses the same things to speak to different people in similar circumstances, but in unique ways. God you are truly Amazing, as are you, Chrystal Evans Hurst. May God continue to bless you, your family, and everything y'all do in obedience to Him. May He bless us all with the strength and character to do the same. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
This came up on my feed Thursday, 1 December, when I felt so alone and lost. All the pain came up; I really needed this. I thank God for this video; I need to go back to writing about everything God has done and is doing in my life.
“What I never want to be out of the Will of God “Thanks Chrystal for that confirmation

Thank you ❤️

Yes, I heard yesterday from a nonbeliever who is succesfull in life to write things down. From wordly perpective I am at a very low place in life at 60+. I'm already writing basic stuff down like to do list etc, but wasn't sure how to do it as a believer. And I was doubting if I should ask council from this nonbeliever... then at midnight I woke up and God led me to see the title...and I listened and I am very thankful to God for teaching me through your insights on this video on how to go about it, His way. Thank you very much, God's blessings.💞
Yes me too
I’m in tears. Thank you for being obedient to deliver such a powerful word meant for me. Thank you, God, for this epiphany!
It was meant for me to hear this. Just 3 hours ago I told my best friend that I have been writing a letter to God everyday for a year. And this last week I have asked that he hold me tight and keep me in his will, while I'm serving him! I always feel used but I keep doing and know that I'm serving him, that's what has kept me going!
You just activated something in me that gives me more hope. Thank you kindly! I can't stop 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This is unbelievable that he used you to ensure me I'm doing what's right in Jesus name, no matter how others do me. I'm in his flow sister. Thank you for being obedient❤️😇🤎🙏🏾
Same watsup group dear. I do write letters to Brother Jesus, so often
Walk in obedience and WRITE IT DOWN. May God allow us all to “maximize our purpose” to change the world.
Thank you for your beautiful message. ♥️
Time to write the book
"Because they didn't look back, they kept forgetting!"😳🥹thx 4 that reminder!!🙏💝🥰
What an eye opener. I've written things down over years . I look back at my notes and I am grateful for the things the Lord has done in and through me. I needed this because this is a very hard season and I want to live out what He has planned, ordained for my life. Thank you for your transparency.
I am so grateful that I write down everything the Lord tells me. I have done this for years and call it my volumes! I always include the date, time, and day of the week in the title. This way, I can see the chronological order of His teachings and never forget a thing! It is a timeless treasure that I can go back to often! Thank you for your encouragement! 🎉
I feel you, Sis. I never had any intentions whatsoever to be an author, but through my love for journaling, I stumbled into publishing a Children’s book. My journal is a trail of lessons from God, prayers, and a testament to God’s FAITHFULNESS! That is such a good word. Thank you for sharing this ❤
❤❤❤
The same happen to me this year . I don't like Journaling but God had a plan to make an author . I wrote down my prayers to God every day for a month and at the end of the month God told me to publish it. It took me 6months to actually publish it because of my disobedience but I overcame the enemy and published it 11.11.2022 its called Morning Date With God 22-day Devotional on Amazon. I wrote it a year ago but my own words encourages me today and I had noo idea....it was God's plan.
I love this video its confirmation
I soooooo appreciate you opening up like this. I'm a writer but haven't written in a looooooong time, but have been hearing a small voice wooing me back to my journal, back to recorded notes and to write things out. I can't sleep and picked up my phone only to find that YT suggested this video. Hmmmmm. No coincidence.
The same for me. I just opened up my heart of accepting my purpose in writing. I haven't yet allowed myself to re-watch or hear myself again. After it's done I'm done ✔️ I check out... Thank you Chystal for your authenticity and transparency.
Father, forgive me that, I stopped writing you. I started back yesterday. But, so much has happened in my life that I didn't record. Thank you, young lady. You are anointed. Keep letting God use you.
You kicked me in high gear. Over the years I kept getting a nudge from God to write. Even had prophets tell me to write my books. I wrote a novelette and was writing a novel about my journals and I stopped because I was doubting myself. I submitted my novellette to a publishing company and they loved it. I got cold feet and it’s been months since I did anything with it.I got this recommended to me and I’m so glad I clicked on this video I asked God what should I do right before watching this 😭😭😭
Do it girl! ✍️💪🏾
@@lilibe92 ❤️❤️❤️ already working in my second book thank you 🥰🥹🥹
@@francheskamojica7640 yay! Well done! 👏🏾
I have the same mission and purpose to publish my journals
@@tieshaspann1869 you got this I am rooting for you
Hello, My name is Anayah Armand and I’m 17. I just started journaling, but I haven’t kept up with it. You have motivated me to get back to it, because I really do want to see how my life has changed in the future. Thank you so much for your inspirational words ❤️
I also started at 17/18. I’m 23 now and keeping up is still a challenge but as long as write, right ? 😂
Me too i will pick up from whr left .
Wow, this is so timely...last night I was dreaming, I saw myself writing stuff down that I want God to do in my life ...I woke up and write everything down and tonight I'm seeing your video for the first time ever. And you are encouraging us to write it down , I will continue to do so from now on. Thank you.
This is so deep WOW
PRAISE GOD
Yes
Yes, on the replay, I am not detecting grandiosity or narcissism. I am hearing the Holy Spirit speaking through you and you are now realizing that you are living in your destiny and divine purpose. I love your vulnerability and honesty about where you are in the moment. You are in His presence as you share with us. Love it Chrystal. Thank you for the courage to share.
Wooooooow.... I'm a mother of 2 boys and a girl... happily married but I have to say 2022 was a one HELL of a year...and God brought me here this afternoon. I have to say my God is good because I just wrote down some of the most important things happened to me this year which I forgot to note down.. I thank God for your life and your channel... I appreciate this soo much...
I am that person who WRITE IT DOWN and every time I turn around I can see how GOD has and is blessing me.
Through all the struggles, the High's and the Low's...I minister through my Testimony as the GOD'S WORDS confirm HIS BLESSINGS!
I constantly tell my children and my grandchildren to WRITE DOWN...
I was told I should write a book, My BOOK IS ALREADY WRITTEN...HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH PRAISE HIM.
WRITING THE VISION DOWN..MAKE IT PLAIN.
GOD BLESS YOU!
This is confirmation of what the Lord has been revealing to me for months now. 🥺😢💛
This thing right here! 😢Thank you for sharing this! ❤ “Write the vision, and make it plain!”
I almost scrolled pass this message. While listening to Crystal's talk I acknowledge that I started writing down the all the jobs I worked, and all my degrees I have. I caught myself saying why are you writing these things done, they were my past experiences. Now listening to Crystal this evening I realize it was God's words and way of showing me what it is He wants me to do. Thanks Crystal I never saw you before and I will continue to follow you on TH-cam. God bless you 🙏
Time to write the book
Thank you for sharing....bumped into you by GOD'S direction first time today....read that Moses encounter early this morning Exo 3 for my devotion , verse 3and4 caught my eye where he 'turned aside '!....and you just RUBBED IT IN! Stay blessed 🙌
One of my ultimate prayers. Lord don’t ever let me get ahead of you🙏🏽
That is sooooo true! In some cases, I've been saying the same things, dreaming the same dreams, even writing the same lists and prayers over and over for years. In addition to writing them down I need to write a plan and TAKE ACTION on those entries! Thank you for calling attention to this and blessing our lives with this Word of Truth and Encouragement!❤️
I was just asking the Lord recently if I should burn my 30 some years of journals...like a personal ceremony to celebrate a new chapter of freedom. I have lived with the beast of anxiety my entire life I don't know how I would have survived with out journaling to the Lord my best friend, counselor, and peace giver. But honestly there are writings I am not sure I would want any of my 5 children, or husband to read someday. I have spoken with a publishing company and interviewed with dreams of sharing my stories and testimony to Gods hand around, over and in my life... I struggle with where or how to start! A few months ago I was weeding thorugh all my beautiful books and literally your book 'Show Up for Your Life' fell in my hands, (I love when the Lord does that!) I know I had bought the book years ago for my daughters. I STUDIED this book, I chewed, I cried, I reflected, I forgave myself and I will cherish this book forever! As a mom first at 17, and how an empty nester, you have given me sooo many blessings, thank you! Looking for my next stage, literally and spiritually, your teachings have been pivotal...INJOY
This is such a powerful message, thanks for sharing. We have so many blessings that we do not even realize because we don't give ourselves the time to reflect on them.
I have been writing down things in my life, for about a year and it has been a blessing for me to look at my life.
Trying to write the book
Hey Chrystal, thank you for sharing. I'm a graphic designer and entrepreneur, working on a product launch, and today was the first day in months that I sketched and wrote in my business journal instead of doing everything from my laptop.... the amount of productivity I've had today has been wonderful. In the midst of late night working, your video pops up and the Lord told me to watch it... what good timing, God is always listening
CHRYSTAL! This is God's second time this week imploring me to write it down. He will not need to tell me again. Thank you for your obedience!
SAME !!!
😂 Amen.
I consciously decided to slow down and pay attention today. And here you came, confirming and confirming everything I intentionally was seeking. I am beyond grateful for your Obedience. 🙏🏾 Cried and wrote through the whole thing...
I write EVERYTHING down, it’s the reading back that I forget to do 😩 thanks Aunty!!
“Because you know what God can do!” A refrain. Selah. Amen. Thank you so much for this outpouring.
I feel this so much. I looked back at old pictures of teenage self and started crying just remembering how much vision I had and how much God was literally doing something through me at a time I had no relationship with him didn’t know anything about God really but I knew I was called to do something and make some kind of difference. Write it down. Do it, say it, feel it, be it.
Thank you for being faithful to share this moment. I surely needed it. Holy Spirit has been leading me back to my "days of documentation" as I call them. I used to have so many journals... After suffering a life-threatening hemorragic stroke back in 2019 and the doctor initially telling my husband that I might never be the same, IF I even survived at all. BUT GOD! 🙌🏾 I, of all people, should be blessing God for my restored memories. This pod today is stoking those fires of remembrance for me to get back to writing, documenting, etc. I want to leave my children a tangible example of what it is like to walk in the flow of God. Bless you and may God continue to enlarge your territory, Chrystal! 💪🏾💯
Good morning, it's Saturday 12/3 and I clicked on this video. Ms. Hurst, I do not know you or who you are, but God sent you and this word to me "write" on time. Thank you for sharing this. It's the motivation I needed for today, the end of year and to begin 2023!!
This was the same for me this afternoon. Thank you Lord.
Amen🙌
I needed ALL this…this was from the throne room of God. Thank you for your obedience to his leading. ❤
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
@@harrygeorge3220 I am well. Still listening and writing down the insights the Lord gives along the way.
@@dwanacarl4044 Mind sharing with me
I am not a subscriber but I am now. I was sitting in my home office frustrated and angry based on a conversation with my son. I was so burden but I didn't have anyone that I wanted to release my frustration to; more or less I had no one I wanted to talk to that would understand how I am feeling without judging me. Write it Down appeared as I was asking God how to overcome this feeling. Thank you!
You have NO sides the timing of this message. I have aborted so many songs and messages God has given me ….because I didn’t obey in writing it down….thank you ❤️
Thank you Lord Jesus!
I appreciate you being so transparent with us. I found myself reminiscing over my past my present and trusting God for my future. I choose to stay in the will of God! What a WORD!!! I believe that all that saw this video was delivered and set free according to their faith! I HEARD YOU AND I'M LISTENING!!! THX ANGEL 😘
Oh my goodness Chrystal this was something God spoke to me in the middle of altar call in the midst of my tears in prayer in August telling me to write it down things He wanted to me to pray & fast for each week. I use to journal all the time but as I have gotten older I have slacked off. I am literally shaking bc I know this was nothing but God for me to watch this while I sit in the hospital with my Father right now 🙏🏾😭
Amen.
In my office weeping with a fullness I cannot even describe. Thank you so much for your obedience to share and bless us with this message💗
Hello Dear
Thanks for your testimony. I've felt I should been writing for a while, well, years. I must tell the World the Amazing God blessings and teachings in my life. I will show gratitude and hopefully, like you, I will bless and encourage others. I pray for God's Love and light overflowing upon you and your family. In Jesus name. Amem
I am watching this for the 3rd time and crying just as hard. I HEAR you Lord. Thank you, Crystal.
Hello,
I am currently waiting in the car while I wait for my son to get out of school. Your message comes to me during a difficult season in my life. This resonated with me so much. I felt the urge to start writing in I believe 2016. I started writing letters to God. And it just turned into my life journal. I have everything from hopes and dreams to the most difficult days. There are times I think I'm weird or drama queen for writing everything down like a teenager. But you have brought so much enlightenment to my journaling. Thank you so much. And also I am a graphic designer who's trying to figure out my purpose. I'm searching for work but that's not why I'm reaching out. I just wanted to say thank you.
You are not weird for Journaling. A lot of therapists suggest it. It can be very therapeutic. I believe that it is a way to clear the mind. I dont do it as often as I should. There have been times where I will be Journaling and all of a sudden words just spill out on to the paper like water and that thing that was bothering me so badly was released.
Chrystal, I’m thanking God for your obedience and rising when He told you to give this word! I’m 60 years young and have been journaling since my 20’s. I write my thoughts, fears, events, hardships, mistreatments, scripture, happy moments etc. But it has been some time since “I Write It Down”, so this is a word for me from God to do just that. Thank you for Blessing me with this video today, it just popped up on my feed. Nothing happens by accident, I was meant to hear this. Thank you for your faithfulness towards the Love of other women. To God Be The Glory! 🙏🏽
It's 1 AM here. I've been up since 11. I was looking for a video on hair and I came across this. Today I move out from my parents house. I feel this is what God has led me to do. I am however short of finances and the enemy has been fighting me with stress and anxiety. Today when I went through something that triggered anxiety and I went to the work bathroom and cried to God and prayed and he encouraged me and came through.
Then I had an impression to start writing down each and every testimony that I will have in the season. Testimonies of what God has done. And will continue to do. So this word is for me.
And also I relate with your point saying its also a season to rest and not overdo things
Amen
Amen! I began writing down EVERYTHING since Covid-19. Thank you for sharing what the Holy Spirit placed on your heart.
I needed this word. I'm am filled with regret that I stopped writing everything down. I write everything down from early childhood through my early 20s. But it tapered off. But over the last decade and ESPECIALLY the last 4 year since I got born again and became a child of God and sadly lost tgevlove if my life to divorce because he didn't want to walk with me anymore after my salvation, I stopped writing. So much has happened. And I have already forgotten. It's a deep pain of regret. Yet also it was impossible to do much of anything even when I wanted to going through PTSD over the last 2 years. My heart aches that SOOooo much has died on the vine. I was actually just crying about it last night. I pray the Lord helps heal me in all ways but especially this one and that all is not completely lost. A lot has happened and it really needed to be written down. 💝
Confirmation! Confirmation! 👍🏾 Thank you God for using Crystal this afternoon 🙏🏾 🙌🏾
