    I think I can be more honest when my mom asks me how I'm doing when I'm feeling some guilt over lust. I can open up and tell her how I'm feeling and maybe she can help me as well. I can also be more honest about my relationship with God with my family in general.❤

    Yes lust doesn't last .Try to think of something else look ice cream haha...play some nice gospel music.And just open a Bible page and read. I am a mother and know this is a time to find love maybe marriage .It is hormones usually. Normal. I hope you find a good church group with friend of the same faith to show you that us is normal. But in the wrong crowd with no dictation it can go off track.God is good.Have a good day

    “God never broke his word but his word was broken “…that right there mannnn…. I’m being honest with myself that I cannot lose the weight I need to own my own. I’m food weak and I’ve convinced myself I can start when I want to…I can’t ..I need to trust that Jesus is my portion and filling up on his strength and his word will give me the wisdom, fortitude, and self discipline to drop this weight…. I’m not strong enough to do it from my own flesh…

    I can be honest by being more vulnerable. Often my dishonesty is not to protect others but to protect myself. I’ll lie to protect my image in other people’s eyes, or to make it seem like I have it all together. Sometimes lies aren’t even verbal, they can be physical when you put a smile on when you’re really going through something. Sometimes pride can blind me from seeking out help when I need it so I need to work on that. Thanks!

    Thank you for teaching in such a way that you even babes in Christ can understand✨❤️🙏🏾🌏🌎🌍 How can I be more honest? I am believing a prayer prayed that the Lord that has delivered me from people pleasing in advance. I can be more honest by not allowing the fear of disappointing others, to shape how I respond to them and/or situations. I’m learning that while it’s okay to consider others, it’s not okay to constantly shove my needs to the back. I think for me, the key is focusing on being pleasing in God’s sight, rather than focusing so much on what man thinks.

    I can be more honest first with God. I many times make commitments without thinking when a verse in the Bible hits me or in worship/fellowship with Him. They later turn my to burdens because I made the commitment, not God and so I have to sustain and complete it by my power. I'll learn to resist the urge to prove myself to God. I'll tell Him where I am about doing something I feel I should and trust in His Grace and direction for it to be done or not. Secondly to myself: I make many promises to myself and end up failing to fulfill most them because I made them in a moment of passion and either overburdened myself or trusted in my power. Same as before I'll consider all I want to do and trust God to help me do whichever is possible. When I feel overwhelmed by any of these I'll put my trust back in God who can never fail and let Him help me.

    I truly love this message. But I wanted to ask in regards to being more honest and making your yeses yes and your no no’s. What if you are a people pleaser and when you want to make your No no you make it a yes to make them happy. Because when Alex told the story about Amos and the milkshakes he sometimes caves in and says yes because maybe he just wants to see Amos happy or maybe Amos is to hard to say no to.

    I know this question wasn’t addressed to me but I’d say yes it is. A “white lie” is something the culture has invented to sidestep honesty (like Alex said in this video). It’s a way to abdicate responsibility for speaking truth by trivializing a falsehood. In reality, there’s no such thing as a white lie. Any lie is sinful because it separates us from the Father. Hope this helps. God bless!

    Jephnah in the Old Testament made a vow to kill the first thing that comes out of his if God helped him win the war. He won. The first thing that walked out of house was his daughter. So he had to kill his only daughter because of it 😢. I believe this is why Jesus don’t make any vows. I also think this is why God want obedience over sacrifice.
