Always! Thank you for watching!

May the Lord bless you and i admire you're humility and honesty to admit your shortcomings not just before us but before God first because most people dont feel comfortable doing that but some of the people i see God use to do great exploits in ministry is those not operating under hidden sin and pride because it through there mistakes they are able to minister to others who are going through the same challenges because they can identify with what they are going through at that moment of weakness. When you talk about a moment of weakness or temptation i thought back to the major fight of temptation i went through 2 years or 1 ago when i was faced with a situation that could have change the course of my life but at that moment i really had to cry out to God because the struggle was real but God heared and helped me but it was still a year long battle. So i know understand the struggles. Once again May God Bless you and your children and descendants and soon to be Marriage. Congrats on your engagement, and I wish you well in your pregnancy and that this pregnancy will not be painful but smooth and peaceful.

Thank you so much! Yes, I always try to keep this channel and platform transparent and to be as honest as I can without too much detail about my life. I wish more believers would be honest with themselves, God, and others and not feel ashamed to share their faults and flaws with the Body of Christ and even unbelievers a bit more. Since then it's been a struggle for us as a couple, but we pull through and thank God every day we overcome it. We have boundaries set in place now until we are legally married. The walk is real, and temptation is real, but God is greater. Thank you again!!!

Shame and guilt are natural feelings for grieving the Holy Spirit when we've committed sin which can lead to deep repentance and transformation. If we don't deal with our flesh, desires and mortal sin, we will keep making the same sinful choices and be blind as to why our lives are stunted or not in our potential. It's a cycle of distraction and rerouting that does ultimately cost us our lives. God is Good, but he is also Just. It's not about being religious it's about truly fearing & loving God.True Conviction shows in the choices we make. If we're in error due to choosing sin it exposes our idols and lack of conviction. I wish you and your family well 💗 I hope you lean on God and take time to be still and figure out whereabouts you're headed.

In the spiritual sense yes I agree. When I say shame and guilt I am referring to how a person makes you feel guilty and shameful by way of condemning. I agree with what you said. I just dont think that a person should be made to stay in that mindset and go into a depressive state or running from God. Conviction brings you closer. Condemnation pulls you away from him.

@DaughterofIncrease you're welcome my ❤️ love.

❓ Thank you for this video. Although I’m over 50 and not in your situation I find wisdom in your words about a relationship with God. Especially your words about not being religious. I loved that! It was freeing to me. Thank you for opening my eyes, heart and mind to this. I now feel a lot better in my walk with God.❤

Thank you for watching! I truly appreciate it. I'm glad it was helpful in some way for you. I try my best to guide people even if I end up making an error and letting them see not simply how to repent, but how to see God as the Father He is who disciplines and still loves while not condemning us.

Thank you.

Love you sis, God bless your pregnancy , your relationship and may everything that God has for your little family fall beautifully in place. We all make mistakes but like you said God forgives us and our mistakes only make us wiser and teach us a lot of things and allow more personal and spiritual growth, your beautiful baby is a blessing from God , if there a baby on the way is because God allowed for the beautiful blessing of life to be implanted in your womb and if God is allowing your baby to be born is because God has a meaning and purpose for your babies life . Keep your head up God loves us despite our mistakes

Thank you so much and yes He forgives and we definitely learn if we are truly repentant for sure. I am grateful for the journey and the ways I am learning Jesus and God even the more.

Sister in the Lord please consider praying for a humble and meek spirit. You are teacher and so you are held to a higher standard and of the standards is humility. May God truly bless you and your present and future children

Thank you. I'm not sure what you mean by praying for a meek and humble sister. I do that consistently. I am aware of the higher standard that teachers are held to. By no means do I condone what I did for others to do, but I won't run or hide in shame about it either. I rather run to Christ, share my faults, repent and still teach what not to do even in the midst of my fault. I'm not sure what you meant though so sorry if my response seems harsh or off. But thank you and blessings to you.

I realized I typed sister lol, but yes I do pray for a meek and humble spirit. Thats one thing I make sure to pray for and about among other things. I'm not sure if it comes across differently in this video because a few people definitely took this video the wrong way, but thank you 😊

Thank you for answering my question with more additional understanding. I completely understand-we have all fallen short of Gods glory at the end of the day. I think sometimes we forget that those in ministry are human too, and we are all bound to make mistakes. I truly hope and pray the best for you and your fiancé. I think with the comment regarding believers being more “judgmental” I feel like the body of Christ should hold one another more accountable for their actions. The Bible calls us to be set apart-and for good reason. Unfortunately with having a platform like this you’re going to have seasoned believers, lukewarm and baby saints. And some non believers as well. And everyone is not on the same thought process regarding mistakes. I would say keep God #1, and I pray your inner circle is there to help as well. At the end of the day, everything is between you and God.

You're welcome and yes leaders in ministry do fall, most don't share it, but I plan to share as much as God tells me to and allows me to even as a leader in ministry. Yeah the Body of Christ should uplift, but many seem to tear down in the name doing what the Bible says in calling out other believers. I think people need a better understanding and really need to not just look at what Jesus said, but also how He acted towards sinners and the backslidden person. Thank you. Yes, my family and inner circle have been amazing this entire process. Even my church. They pray for me, but also keep me and my boyfriend/fiancé accountable until marriage.
