    She reminds me of myself. Caribbean parents expecting you to continually walk with God all your life but then you start straying especially in your twenties. I finally found my way back to God in my 40s. I thank God every day for sparing my life to find Him again and start my life over.

    I’m still baffled on how many Christians there are whom don’t believe in the spiritual side of Christianity, the healing, the tongues, the demonic deliverances. But. Boy when she said “you. Lady in pink. God has been highlighting you all night” oh I felt that. I was crying. That was powerful.

    I struggle to submit because Im so afraid I'll fail. I'm afraid I'll just go back to the life I've always lived. I've never been consistent or committed to anything other than a few very close loved ones. And that's for them- not for me. I feel like I don't deserve something as precious as the love and guidance of God. I've gotta change. I can't keep living this way

    the Word of God says that the righteous man might fall seven times but WILL get up each time. God is your strength. you cant provide the strength required for yourself. and it is true. we dont deserve the love of God. but He loves us anyway. He loves us anyway. to Him we are deserving. so deserving that He wouldnt even spare His son, Jesus. Just surrender to Him. He hears you, has plans for you and wants to us you. with your permission, He will.

    There is no failure “in” Yahushua. You are born again, from above by your Spirit into a new creation. Our Heaven Father loves you intensely.. so much so that He sent His only begotten Son to diessas you as a propitiation for your life to ensure you are brought back into relationship with Him in holiness; Father now sees you through Yahushua( Jesus); you being made righteous through Him, by faith empowered by His Grace. It’s your choice to walk with the Most High Elohim (God), in vulnerability. Receive His invite to Come u to Him! New life. He will “ walk” with you. Your weakness is made strong in Him!

    I’m also a PK and This woman put into words everything I am feeling minus the deliverance part. I just broke down sobbing because I know something is missing but I can’t find freedom. Everyone keeps telling me I’m fine and just listening to lies of the devil but I KNOW I’m in bondage and not walking intimately with God I’m HIS power. It’s all in the flesh/ religion. It’s to the point I cry and just despair of life because walking with God just seems unattainable. Idk if I need deliverance but every door keeps closing in my face when I search for a solution. I’m so tired of this life and the constant internal struggle. I KNOW I love God . I KNOW he’s real. I’m her but minus the breakthrough. I’m just stuck. Ugh

    Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you .Matthew 7:7 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 GET QUIIET TIME WITH GOD! WAKE up AN HOUR early, AND GET ON YOUR KNEES BEFORE THE LIVING the GOD, AND HIS PERFET SON, AND HIS HOLY SPIRIT! NO MORE EXCUSES! MORE TOO TIPS FOR NEW BELIVERS: READ YOUR BIBLE INCESSANTLYY! IT IS SPIITUAL FOOD, OLD AND NEW COVENANT ! AND PRAY AFTER EVERY CHAPTERS! IF YOU ARE WATCHING AND SECUAR MOVIES AND MUSIC OR SHOWS WITH CURSING IT HAS GOT TO GO! YOU ARE WHAT YOU LISTEN TO! I HAVE A THOUSAND SOUND DOCTRINE CHRISTIAN PROGRAMS AND SERMONS ON KZread LIKE THIS ONE. I PRAY IN TONGGUS SILENTLY WHILE WATCHING THEM! PRAY ALWAYS COTINIOUSLY IN THE SPIRIT! DO NOT GO TO A CHURCH UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE BIBLE ONCE. TOO MANY LIARS AND WOLVES. WHEN YOU PRAY AND, CRY TO THE LORD WITH LAMENTION, OR HAPPINESS, OR JOY, OR PRAISE DO IT WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART, KNOWING THAT HE WILL ANSWER THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM, AND BELIEVE FIRST DURING EVERY PRAYER HE WILL ANSWER IN HIS PERFECT TIME. "But without faith impossible to please for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6 Blessings little sister in Christ.

    (I also think that the doors closing is God’s way of telling you that there’s “more” to this Christian walk and it includes deliverance.) A lot of churches do not teach on it but can’t deny Jesus was delivering people from demonic presence, so they avoid the topic.

I haven't let go completely of having control over my life, but I can tell God is slowly breaking it away from me and I'm letting go day by day. I am looking forward to the day that we both find deliverance in Jesus!

    I can definitely relate, I grew up pentecostal within the church since I was 5, I'm now in my 30s (reborn again). My father is an evangelist, I've been to many church camps, meetings etc.. and I'm definitely struggling so much with submitting myself to god. It's a constant battle everyday it can be overwhelming at times. I'm hoping I can get to that level where my relationship with god becomes deeper. I have a lot of learning to do particularly when it comes to obeying god & overcoming my flesh. At this point, I'm just trying to let god take full control of my life. I believe god wanted me to watch this, awesome testimony!

    Please pray for my friend Ashley. She fell away from the church and she's driven by rage, polysubstance abuse, and drug-induced psychosis. I think the demons of malice have got her in a chokehold and I fear for her because she's in total denial. She says she's an atheist but I don't understand how that happened. Back before she left the church, she was such a passionate Christian and on fire for Jesus. She believes her parents lied to her. And that allegedly made her hate "religions" and now she says she's an atheist. Pray cuz Satan wants to destroy her and he's succeeding currently.

    When someone starts exercising/working out, they don't see results right away. But something is happening on the inside first. But it's working! Same with spiritual things. Mix your actions with faith, BELIEVE what scriptures say in James - if you draw near to God, He Will draw near to you. Results are on the way! God bless you on your journey!

    I can relate to this so much. I need to sit with it for a while. Thank you for sharing. I often say "I'm just a vessel", too especially when surrender and let Him use me in prayer, in song, etc. I am also a PK and I'm listening wondering if I'm enough and how could I be when I don't feel like I'm doing enough or like I deserve His love, grace, acceptance or presence. There are things about God that O don't understand, still, like how He could love me, but I pray I'm not left behind and that I've done enough to planting of the seed of His Word in the lives of people. I just want Him to be pleased, but I feel stuck like I'm wasting time and don't know how to get out of the run of discouragement and doubt that I will be in eternity with Him...sigh

    For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They repented, were baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost, Acts 2:38! Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead and walking in the newness of life. That's what Acts 2:38 is. It harmonizes with Matthew 28:19, and all the other salvation scriptures. We can't pick and choose which scriptures we like or dislike. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOTH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT for a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures, and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOO long to be WRONG! St, John 5:39, search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS, and the other is a WORK OF FAITH or OBEDIENCE TO GOD. If I buy you a cake and tell you to come to get it, and you refuse to, then you won't have the cake even though it's been fully paid for. Christ paid the full price for our salvation. If we refuse to obey Acts 2:38 like they did, how shall we receive it? Noah believed or had FAITH, BUT THEN WORKED OR OBEYED TO BUILD THE ARK TO BE SAVED. LOT believed or had FAITH, BUT THEN OBEYED AND LEFT SODOM. This is why Jesus said, He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. We must believe and obey Acts 2:38. All scriptures have to harmonize together
