  • Hi beautiful people :) I have been asked this question SO many times and finally have some thoughts to share. The video I talked about in this video is called "What to Do When You Don't Feel God" by Jefferson Bethke. Definitely check it out!! It's one of my favorites by him.
    And the book I talk about is called Love that Lasts by Jefferson and Alyssa Bethke :)
    I make all of my videos for Jesus - I would be lost without Him.

    I’ve been feeling so lost lately and on top of that I haven’t felt like God was close, like He was with me. But hearing what you just said. It’s really helped me realise that I need to read my bible more, even when I don’t feel like it. You’ve helped me realise that even with God I need to work on my relationship with Him.
    I needed this so much Becca, thank you! ❤️

      "This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ" (Jn 17,3)
      (I hear the voice of the Divine Savior utter these words, then continue speaking saying :)
      "Enter into the knowledge of the Eternal Truth: God. The, the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God in Three Persons. Together we work for the salvation of the whole world. Scriptures. They are God's testament. Do not trample on His testament. You are called to value what you have received as a gift. Many are wasting away from lack of knowledge of the Truth. You can know God more every day: by praying and loving. Prayer is not it is never too much, just like love. By praying more, you will reveal your love for God. Put no limits on prayer and love. Become spiritual and not material. Old man is dead, now you are new creatures of the Lord Remain spiritual, guided by the Holy Spirit and not by the spirit of the world. Renounce worldliness, appearance, materialism, and rise up to God. You will be more and more disheartened if you do not give up on all of this. and slaves to the mentality of this century, so devoid of wisdom. Accept suffering, because with suffering I come to visit you. No one can truly know the Eternal if he has not suffered first. It is the suffering that really brings us closer to the Lord. It is suffering that makes hearts open to God. With the Cross, God makes you His. Divine wisdom is not of this earth. Undress yourselves, undress yourselves, of the things of here below and put on the new dress of the whiteness of the soul. Become Mine in abandonment to My Heart ".

      @@FarAwayDistance Hey so I have a question, I am devoting my life to Christ, breaking sins hold on me in every area, currently, I am fasting from all self-entertaining electronics that are not for God... it's hard, and I am ending the hold of porn in my life. But what I need to know, and want to find out is it ok to read fiction with magic in it, or play video games with magic in it? I am a huge nerd and have grown up with this, but I have been confronted with this question more than once. I need to know from experienced Christians is it ok for this, I know God delights in all true things and all good things, does this include good characters in books or movies where magic is present? I have seen both sides but neither truly says if this is a sin or not. I grew up with stories like a journey to Atlantis, where they use the so-called magic and save many people, and go through a journey from selfish people to those who are there for others. Also stories like King Arthur, who used magic but was a hero, and Sir Galahad who was a virtuous night fighting the darkness and evil of that world that inspired Christian knights for hundreds of years. I know I can not rely on my own understanding but God's, but I see two contradicting points of view in the bible, where I believe paul says he delights in the truth of even confusion and pagan scholars, and that all things with truth in them are honoring to God for God is truth. I can not trust my own judgment here, I am biased and will go and do what I believe to be right, and my beliefs have been wrong before. All that I am is for God, and I try to honor him in all that I do, as long as I live I will fight Lucifer and his ways but is this really a step or trial that has to happen? I love God and will go through whatever trail to be a mature steadfast mature disciple in Christ, but this feels like a more one on one vow if it is a sin I will remove it from my life for good but if it is not even a sin then I should focus on more prevalent problems, and preach more rather than attack something that will not harm me spiritually.

    • @dantesinferno373
      @dantesinferno373 Před 4 lety +2

      classyt20f7 Ok, I am confused, I have heard three separate people quote scripture saying three different things about the magic in fiction. I am confused, I will remove this from my life if I need to, but is this what is require to not be of the world? From what I understand it is to avoid the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. To avoid the lust of the flesh I am seperating from porn, and all lustful pictures in my life, and fighting gluttony. Lust of the eyes is to avoid covering what others have, I am very content and do not want what the people have in these books. And the pride of life is to avoid the chears of people and the crowds, and avoid boasting of achievement or pride. What pride will I get from reading these books, what ambition for my life am I filling, what chearing? If I am understanding this right, God does not want to be of the world or be addicted to the things others are. I have separated from shooting and violent video games and no longer crave to play them. I pray daily and read 10 chapters a day of scripture and study. I have heard that the books themselves which contains magic is not sinful in itself, and a mature Christian can differentiate truth and falsities. What will these books do to harm my spiritual life, and my growth towards God and the community? I want to be closer to God if I need to burn the books I will, but I do not see how this is slowing my spiritual progression. If you can support your claim with scripture I would be happy to follow along, I go to a Christian university, and even they play video games, and even have a dnd group. They love God, and are not addicted to these things, being separate from the flesh does that mean even fiction as well? As far as I can see it can be a fun hobby, as long as all truth and good things are devoted and thank God for than it is good virtues and deeds done by false character can be devoted to God for he is the truth and the love right?

    Feelings are temporary, so we can't base or choices and relationships on our feelings. We think that if we don't feel God, we don't feel like praying or reading the Bible, we are not christian anymore, we have lost faith and God isn't working on us anymore. But it's not. Our relationship with God or with a friend or a boyfriend isn't a feeling, is a daily choice and a lot of work.

  • @emilyelizabeth6499
    @emilyelizabeth6499 Před 5 lety +121

    Totally understand that you have other responsibilities besides CZcams! Love is absolutely a choice! Our feelings come and go but we must choose to love as Jesus does, unconditionally. I like how you applied this to our relationship with God too. Sometimes we don’t feel like reading our bibles or praying or going to church but we know that when we stop doing those things, we slowly slip back into our old ways and let the world take hold.

    • @emilyelizabeth6499
      @emilyelizabeth6499 Před 5 lety +6

      I absolutely see where you are coming from and have done some research on the subject of Gods unconditional love myself. "It is important to note that God’s love is a love that initiates; it is never a response. That is precisely what makes it unconditional. If God’s love were conditional, then we would have to do something to earn or merit it. We would have to somehow appease His wrath and cleanse ourselves of our sin before God would be able to love us. But that is not the biblical message. The biblical message-the gospel-is that God, motivated by love, moved unconditionally to save His people from their sin."
      This is where I was coming from in my comment and that makes sense to me. That we don't have to do anything before God loved us enough to send his son to die for our sins.

    • @emilyelizabeth6499
      @emilyelizabeth6499 Před 5 lety +4

      I also strive to love unconditionally like God. If I based my love only on what my husband does or doesn't do, I would be long gone! I love him despite his flaws. We work through our problems and I stay because I choose to love him beyond my feelings.

    • @emilyelizabeth6499
      @emilyelizabeth6499 Před 5 lety +6

      Jake Sanders I don’t think it’s possible for humans to love unconditionally, just like it’s not possible for us to be completely without sin. It’s just in our nature. But as Christians we should at least strive to be more like God and ask for the Holy Spirits help in the areas that we fall short. I know you’re not trying to give me a hard time, no worries at all!

Put Him before everything worship Him with hymns, take delight in Him, and give constant thanks! He is in you so seek His will with all your heart don’t grow tired but pray in everything!

    You know, I always scoff a little when people say, “God has been telling me...” . But I realized that this is what happens when you have a relationship with somebody, you talk to them. You know them and you know their character. You listen to them. I need to listen to God, I need to let Him guide me. I pray for God to help me and to lead me and to use me and nothing happens. I want to have a relationship with God, I think I do. I know I don’t have to, “feel His presence” all the time to have a relationship with Him but I feel like me being a better witness to Christ would be what He wants but I don’t notice a change in my life. Perhaps I need to try to change to the best of my ability as well? I don’t know, I try to change and I keep falling back into the same sins and same apathy and same unsympathetic attitude and I don’t want it anymore. I want God, I just don’t know how to get Him. What can I do?

    • @therat9568

      I've felt like this sometimes and ended up just completely turning a blind eye to God. I started doing some research bc I know I need God in my life even tho I necessarily don't feel Him currently.
      What I have found in my research, readinf Ethan Renoe is "let ur heart follow ur mind." Trying harder to the best of my ability has honestly got me no whr and I end up falling into the same habits. What then u should do is create first an image of an advanced version of urself worth ur admiration and in that version of urself add God. Add that the person, the better version of u, has a relationship with God. Now referring back to ur heart following ur mind, Renoe was saying in this generation we tend to look for an emotional substance in God but rather than looking for this, we should look for knowledge and depth of God. He says "the things u fill ur head with will eventually trickle down into ur heart." So basically, take a moment each day to ask God into ur life. Try to find out about God and know more about His Word and teachings and the more of you know, the more you will come to the emotional aspect. It is also important to know u will not always feel Him bc we r so wrapped up in the world, but know that He is thr even tho we dont feel him thr.

      @maqgie Před 2 lety

      Read and read the Bible. It sounds so simple, but it will do so much. When you can't hear God, but you want to open the Bible. If you say you can't hear God, but your Bible is closed, you're not trying hard enough - you don't want him enough. "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13.
      Through the Bible’s countless stories, it is evident that God frequently communicates with us beyond verbally. Ways like:
      • Internal Intuition (like a sense of peace over a situation)
      •Through dreams and visions (e.g. Daniel, Peter, Paul, etc.)
      •Circumstance (opportunities opening and doors closing)
      •Through the wisdom, concern and advice of others
      Scripture makes clear that God speaks to us in innumerable creative ways. So why are we limiting ourselves to just an audible voice?
      In your prayer time today:
      •Take a Posture of Preparation and say “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
      • Ask God to give you an Attitude of Attentiveness, “Lord, make my heart willing to hear You.”
      • Cultivate a heart that believes in the Possible Impossible, “Lord, teach me to rely on Your miracle power.”
      • Finally, ask God for the ears to Hear “Every moment and everywhere I go, Lord, allow me the privilege to hear You and the courage to obey Your command.”

Negative thoughts coming up, thoughts of not being worthy enough, and thoughts of sin.

    This is so true. And it's because feelings are not the truth. They are just feelings! God is/has the truth. And also, it's when we follow our feelings instead of God that we leave our spouse for someone else, or eat or drink too much, for example. But it's not strange, cause in our society today we kind of learn that our feelings are the truth....

    So helpful, I am currently in that stage of not feeling God or pulling away from God and it's been a struggle. This video really helped to put things into a new light & perspective for me so thank you. I need to remember that He is always there even when it seems like He's not and that He still loves me despite the fact that I feel so far away from Him ❤️ Thank you for showing me that I need to continue to seek after Him & lay my life down for Him even when I don't feel His presence. Love you so much Becca, my prayers go towards all that you do in life 💕

I’m not even a Christian myself but I watch your videos all the time and I absolutely love your words! They have such a big impact on me and always refresh my soul after carrying such heavy burdens, and remembering these immanent truths about God lightens the weight and makes me truly happy. You have a beautiful heart, I mean that sincerely, God bless you and keep making these videos.

    You do not know how much I needed this right now!! This is such a weight off my shoulders. I have been feeling so lost not feeling His presence and feeling guilty for it like I am doing something wrong. I felt like it was my punishment or fault because I should be doing more to feel His beautiful presence. Now I should and can always do more for God, but I know that it is normal not to always feel Him when He is there. Thank you so much for this video!! You are one of my gifts from God!! God bless! ❤️❤️

    This is so good. I've had this in my watch later videos for a while, and I accidentally clicked on it right now and knew not to click away. This is something I've been struggling with not only with God but with my marriage. Being confused as to why I don't feel god anymore, and being confused as to why those feelings aren't there anymore in my marriage ! Having to go against those strong feelings of not wanting to show love to my husband when I think he doesn't deserve it, and having to fight against the laziness of staying in my word and praying. Recently me and my husband have been going through a lot, we're better now but the devil really knows what to whisper to make me want to leave ! Thank God I didn't because not listening to the lies really changed the way I react. I could have made the decision to tell my husband to leave and not come back to me and my daughter, but I couldn't get out of my head the devil's motives and purpose ! I let him stay instead of throwing him out and the next morning I had the worst sleep paralysis/nightmare ever ! Saw my husband levatating off the bed and could hear my daughter choking in the background but couldn't move, I could only hold on tightly to my husband's arm. Later in the day I ran on the treadmill while reading my word and God let me know that the devil was PISSED that I didn't tell my husband to leave that night. I got chills after hearing that. It's made me since then to always think before I do anything and to just remember why I'm here and why god made marriage so sacred in the first place. Anyways this is already so long but thank you for uploading this ! Funny little thing too my name's Becca 😂 Jesus continue to bless you ! 💕

    Wow! God showed me this video yesterday. I watched some of it but then I ignored it because I felt his presence and everything so I thought I was fine, which I was at the moment. But then today I didn’t feel his presence at all. I told myself that he is still always there but my feelings just kept on saying no he’s not. I know god is always ahead of me and that he has a plan for me so that’s why he put the video here yesterday. I watched this whole video today and I just wanted to say thank you so so so much! You’re so helpful and such a light! Thank you. God bless you. 💜

    Thank you so much for this video! It spoke to me on so many levels. I guess I never realized that it starts with humbling myself. I think in order to have good, God-centered relationships with others I need to work on my relationship with God first! Thank you so much for this video again! I also have that book by Jefferson and Alyssa Bethke! It is fantastic and helps me see what love really is as well as what it isn't according to what God says. If anyone is reading this I strongly suggest that book as well as just doing a subject study on "Love" throughout the Bible! You will be amazed! I did this for just a month and it was far to short. This video shows me how much I miss my time with God! We all need reminders, but just remember if you make one step towards God he will be right there no matter how far you may have strayed from him in your daily lives and busy schedules!

    Hey Becca, I went back now and watch this video because for the last month's I've struggled up and down with doubts and confusion. I've always known that God is with me, that he loves me and that I am forgiven but when feelings of discouragement come I am overwhelmed and become unsure of what to do. This video really showed me that no matter what I feel, what I think, what I want or anything else God has my back and if I trust him and lean on him he will sustain me. He will never permit the righteous to be Moved. Paraphrased psalm 55:22.
    Thank you Becca God is really using you. Even though we are not perfect God is and we are being made perfect in his likeness.
    Love you!

  • @patchwork1771
    @patchwork1771 Před 2 lety

    I feel like I forgot why I fell in love with Christianity until this video. It was all because of the theology, how beautiful the story was, discovering the personhood of God and the joy of the evidence pointing towards Jesus. In the beginning, I could easily feel him in the room with me and my heart would over flow with joy but for years I’ve abandoned my original search and got caught up in riding on everyone else’s love for God. I try to force myself into feeling something and beg God with his presence yet that wasn’t why I came to Christ in the first place. While I find it hard lately to "Ask, Seek and Knock" I feel like it’s going to be a lot easier after watching this video so Thank you!
