The Music Industry is dark and demonic .Jesus is coming soon repent / Matthew 4:17 says Repent for The Kingdom Of God has come near. Leave all that new age behind Jesus can save you. If you believe in your heart ❤ and confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord you will be saved. Jesus Is King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords❤🙏Repent Jesus Is Coming Back. Leave Zodiac Signs Alone, leave tarot cards, new age, subliminals and manifestation alone and even angel numbers, this is not biblical, homosexuality is not godly and is a sin. Repent Jesus Is returning sooner Than we think. Pls Grow A relationship with Jesus❤🙏🏽“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. leviticus 18:22. because it's happening right now i the Bible it says that Christians will be hated and before Jesus Christ returns the euphrates river will dry up that has already happened. When you look at your phone, laptop or even a painting you know it has a creator behind it but when you see us how can you not believe we have a creator. Why do you think the music industry and acting industry mock Jesus And Yahweh(God). Singers like Katy Perry have literally said they sold their soul to the devil. Why do satanist say they don't believe in satan but does satanic thing and say satanic things. It has been scientifically proven that Jesus has been here on earth. How can you say a Christian is being homophobic and rude towards lgbtqia+ when we're just stating that it's offensive to do the things that openly mock Yahweh(God)/Jesus(Yeshua) but when lgbtqia+ mocks Yahweh(God) in public at the LA Dodgers and other places its ok.The devil comes to kill steal and destroy. Yahweh(God) is not The God of confusion. The devil will confuse people and manipulate people's minds into thinking it's ok. How can you buy up a rock and say it will bring you money or love? That doesn't even make sense that's like me going on the side of the street and picking up a pebble and saying it will bring good luck and money. Jesus is love, Yahweh(God) is love. Praying for you to not be deceived by the devil and his satanic agenda like getting children into lgbtqia+. You rarely see people mocking Muslim or judaism and more but it's mostly Christianity. Nobody should mock anyone we all should forgive one another and love one another i'm not going to try to force my beliefs onto you but there's a choice we all have free will to take the broad path(bad path) of the narrow path(good path) believing in Jesus doesn't mean make our beliefs religious Jesus doesn't like religion he just wants a relationship with us. That doesn't mean us Christians will have life easy, we christians will be put through test and trial to grow our faith Jesus gives us strength. Jesus is The King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords. May The Heavenly father Bless You.John 15:12: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Luke 6:31: Do to others as you would have them do to you. Corinthians 16:14: Do everything in love. Proverbs 17:17: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.James 1:2-4 New International Version Trials and Temptations 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Proverbs 3 Verses 5 to 6 [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. I encourage you to give Yahweh(God)/ Yeshua(Jesus)a chance pray for discernment and wisdom and to love the thing Yahweh(God).Yeshua(Jesus) loves and hate the things they hate. Baseball is also a masonic sport. That's not a good thing. Say you or someone is the goat is demonic because the devil is a goat in the bible. Instead follow Jesus The Good Shepherd. Amen btw ❤🙏🏽yoga is a sin and is demonic

Everything you mentioned. I start the day with a gratitude journal. Thank God for something. After that, a short bible focused devotional. Then I write a short scripture. I schedule my daily bible reading. Keep a journal to write notes from what I read. Started a fast a few days ago of things that were possibly keeping me from God. There isn't an end time on it, seeing how long I can go. I'm trying to fit in my faith in my spare moments now. Worship music, audio bible, or Christian podcasts while cleaning. Getting back to using the gifts God gave me to encourage others. I'm open for anything.

Keep going baby you're going to make it. Throughout this journey we learn our weakness and it teaches us the importance of trusting in God and how much we need him to endure. I'm now 30 years old but I was once your age with the intent of following Christ. Don't believe the lies of the enemy. Don't let him discourage you from glorifying God. If you fall down, don't condemn yourself. Get back up and keep going knowing that God's grace is sufficient for us and He will never fail you. The goal is to keep going! Proverbs 24:16- "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." 1 John 2:14- "I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are STRONG, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have OVERCOME the wicked one."

I went to an interview recently, and I got it. I was so ready for my first day of work. Seven came to me three times in the date 7/7/2023. Just before I was about to go something happened. I accept it for what it is, because I now know what I need to do.

What I do to make sure I stay closer to God, is rewatch and make sure I catch my devovation everyday and do my own devovation, When Im at work I makke sure I keep my gospel music playing and talk to God and try to find something to study about him read scirptures

❤ I am right with you sis, it’s exhausting being lukewarm - during those times you don’t want to read and spend time in devotion, you have got to push! That’s how the stronghold starts to loosen, fight against the feeling, it’s satans job to distract us ❤

I have a lot of ways I get close to God and my favourite is having lengthy conversations with him at night when I’m in bed ( I live alone with two cats ) and I chat many times during the day as well. I often talk to him waiting to start my shifts while I sit in the car ( I work for Menulog) I love studying you tube for Christian based videos and I’m just starting my journey to learn the bible on dvd. I have learnt so much in the bible already but have so much to learn. I love going to church and listening to God talk to me through scripture etc. I love everything about my journey with God it’s positive and fulfilling and I love God very much. Thanks so much for your video and was very positive reminding me I need to spend more time on prayer and living for Gods Kingdom rather than living for myself 😀❤️🙏🏽🌻

This was amazing. Right on point sis. One thing I also do is read my Bible in a specific place, like a park. Somewhere quiet where I'm not distracted. Some people can do it at home with no problem but I have to go to an actual meeting place with God 🙂

Every since I found out I'm an Israelite according to Deuteronomy 28, I've been trying to get closer to God; trying to study, pray and apply his law/word.

I have my true alone time with God in my car, so my devotions, scripture reading, and worship are held in the car. Those are times when I feel I can get closer, and when I don't care to be distracted at home, I will read my bible then or watch a faith base channel to keep me encouraged.

This message came right on time! Thank you for being so translucent with us and encouraging us ❤

So glad to hear that!!

I’m 15 years old, and have been a lukewarm Christian, I now want to be fully for God. I always felt down and wasted time on social media, so I finally took the step and deleted social media. 😊 I already feel like a weight has been lifted from my heart. I want to grow stronger in Christ. So I will continue to read the Word and praying to God. 🫶🏻🙃

I really appreciate you making this and sharing it. Since I've been away for college, I have gotten sick of being lukewarm. I always felt like something was missing and knew in the back of my mind that it was the longing to strengthen my relationship with God. Also YES I too need to be more comfortable with silence. I've noticed--like so many people--that I feel the need to be constantly distracted or entertained with so many different forms of media that we lose that time to find peace in silence or clearly hear those messages from God. This was great & thanks again!

I’ve stopped listening to secular music; depends on the artist and the message, stopped listening to morning shows like the Breakfast club and started listening to worship music. Changed the algorithm on my social media accounts to more see more Christian accounts and uplifting posts or videos. Dedicated time to certain days to reading the Bible. Little changes makes a big difference.

This was so helpful. I realize I have been lukewarm and I want to be on fire for God.

Being lukewarm is the worst place you can be. Either hot or cold no in between.

I definitely relate to the social media one! Setting a limit for an hr during the week and none at all before 10 am has really helped! Also sleeping with my phone on dnd so I’m not tempted to talk to other people before talking to God

I try to leave time each morning and each evening, to be in my word 🙏🏿❤️

Thank you for sharing. For me fasting really helps deepen my relationship with God.

Yesss!! Fasting is SO necessary!

At church my pastor said, that youth can share things with older, and older can dump truth into youth, this was really heath warming because I’ve had a couple meeting with my pastors about questions and they said I had questions that adult Christians don’t really think about, and they said it’s really good so I really think youth can dump truth into new older Christians :) after all if your family has abandoned you because you choose Christ over family you have the church to lead you to Christ, even though I may not know you, you can always come running to us, more importantly to Christ because he knows what’s best for you :)

I would love to wake up in silence. I have young kids who wakes up in complete chaos 😫. I try so hard I have that time mainly at night. I want to be with God more during the day. Exactly I cleaned up my social media followers and subscriptions here on KZread. You came across my timeline I said God this is what I wanted and prayed for. Too build a deeper relationship and understanding of God. Girl thank you for the tips 🙏🏾❤

The social media break’s worked for me! That im off instagram, twitter, snapchat i am more focused snd i can hear more clearly from the Lord. The idolization was crazy and i needed space away from it

I relate to this so much. For a long period of time, I’ve felt like not as committed to God as I should be. I feel like I was making getting closer to God a chore but my relationship with God may look different to others. I even put so much pressure on myself to be perfect but I realised I’m only human and from time to time I fall short of His glory. I also realised that God isn’t interested in me being perfect. He wants me to be intentional and committed. So thank you for sharing this 🙏🏾

I prayed to God a while back about how tired I am of being a lukewarm Christian and asked for guidance, got on KZread and came across this 🥹

I’m 17 and I cut off stuff that will guide me to the wrong path

That’s awesome! Keep it up! Protect your spirit at all costs. 🙌🏾👏🏾

I’m not the type to usually post a comment on a video, normally just watch it fr lol. However this videos spoke so much volume to me. I’m one of those people who can vouch that I’ve grown up in church and both parents are pastors so I understand the church life very well. But see my personal relationship with God has been up and down throughout my life. I just turned 23 a couple days ago and I told God I’m tired of not being who I really am in him. I’m tired of feeling LUKEWARM I’m tired of seeing others get blessed knowing I have the same grace I just don’t apply the pressure like I should! It’s like because I lack consistency it’s always been an inconsistent relationship with God and that’s not fair to him because he’s definitely been gracious and my protector in many ways. Thank you so much for this video, it’s definitely one to remember and harp off of.

Great video! I try to limit social media, esp. IG I've also been intentional about waking up early on weekdays around 5 or 5:30am to pray and have devotional time before I get ready for work. I also say mini gratitude prayers throughout my day. Lastly, I take walks on the trail with no music, it helps to ease my mind and I'm able to hear God speak to me more ❤

It's so difficult to concentrate on God as a teenager, but I no I need God now then ever . Most at time I feel all alone, heart broken and sad. But in every situation I give God the Glory Thank You Lord Amen ❤

Yes to it all. Thank you for sharing wisdom and truth with practical helps. Yes to setting a reminder to pray. It’s such a blessing to make room for God throughout the day. And YES to learning to sit in silence. I used to play podcasts and music constantly. God showed me that I often felt scattered because I was listening to too many other voices.

hahaha quick ramble: I grew up with a lukewarm mother who always said how she 'needed to get her relationship with God right'; she'd take us to church a few times a year, play gospel music often, play Christian podcasts and lives, but would never fully commit to getting closer to Him. My whole family is like this, we claim to be "Christian" but no one truly lives as one. Everyone loves God but no one walks with him. I really want to break that cycle and finally establish a relationship with God! I want to change for myself and be an example to my family :)

This was meant for me to see only from God I am tired of being a lukewarm Christian my desire is to grow closer to God but I have to put in the work for it it’s not gonna come to me but I really think this video was meant for me to see I seen this titled before and skipped by it and was finna watch a video that didn’t have nothing to do with God and this popped up thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏽

Thanks dear one...i searched for How to truly find Jesus and this ur video popped

Thank you for this, I’m so tired of being lukewarm , I want to have a way closer relationship with God❤

I just saw this on my recommendations. Must be a sign

So I can tell you that for the first 3 months of totally diving in I always had to have worship music… and for the past 2 months I’ve noticed I sit in silence about 80% of my day… like it’s wild and I love it.

15 years old and finally starting to stop being lukewarm. Sometimes I find myself feeling alone, depressed, and anxious but I turn to God and he helps me feel alive again.

This was confirmation I was thinking about doing a social media fast

God bless you and your family spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially in Jesus name amen!

Thank you for your input this something I need to do because true enough I have had the problem with trying to pray and study on my own some times I feel like I don't know were to start and that's what make me seek out people who already know so thank you once again I will try this way 🙂🙏🙏

Yes that is so true, I pray for a closer relationship with God,, l like quiet time with God, it's hard when my husband loves tv, praying that he will want a closer relationship with God..

Feed your SPIRIT and not your VANITY. Whew, this right here!!!

I relate to the part about unfollowing people the Holy Spirit put it in my spirit to unfollow some people especially those who normally post unGodly content.

One thing I did that kept me close to Jesus when life was tugging on me was devotional reading on the Bible app.

I haven’t listened to music in 2 days I literallly sit in my car quietly. I listen to godly podcasts and watch godly videos and I quit smoking. I’m 23 years old and I just see the world I’m in and realized it was time for a change I couldn’t live of the world anymore. I have been going through a lot of tiring events but I refuse to give up

Thank you for this video - it felt real, honest and authentic, this is what I always look for when watching KZreadrs! Very timely for where I am in my walk with God 🙏🏾♥️

Wow, I needed this video because I was just telling myself this "I don't want to be lukewarm anymore". As you mentioned I would be in church and see people so fired up for Jesus and would ask myself how are they so free? or How can I be more like that? One time during service my pastor said "The ppl who are screaming and praising God so freely are doing so because they remembered what God did for them (testimony). They were delivered. I just know I'm jesus child, but I need to fully give myself. I loved your tips and will incorporate some of them in my journey.

Thank you for this post! I’m walking with the God and it’s not easy. This was a great reminder to get back in the word in the morning intentionally! I will pray for you and please pray for me.

Amen! I always feel so much better when I read the word first thing in the morning. Sets me up for the rest of my day!

It’s crazy I just prayed and something told me to search “begin with God” and I saw a woman with curly hair and your skin tone God led me here thank you sm

I find comfort in God, I know no matter where I am in the world, no matter who has left me I will never be alone because he will always be there for me

You spoken true facts. It’s all about laying down our desires for His and the beauty of it and the blessings from it🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
