*I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me.✝🙏💖💖🙏🙏*
Praise the Lord!!!! 🥹🤍
I’ve noticed with secular music, it’s hypnotic and replays in my head. Yet christian music fills my soul and doesn’t replay excessively 👀 The secular music and negative voices fade after a while. And God comes through so fresh and bright🌄
Yesss but one thing I am struggling with is the fact that I used to listen to secular music so much, that it is now engraved into my head and it would randomly start playing in my head ,even when I’m praying😢
@@oratile100don’t feel guilty if when you’re praying you still hear secular music at times - The more you fill your mind with the word of God and music that glorifies Him the more those things will be what stays in your head. We remember the things that we look at or listen to the most, so the more you fill yourself up with Him the more the things of this world will fade away (Galatians 5:16)
Very true
I relocated from Cali to Texas 2 years ago. And I've not been listening to any secular music except for a Playlist I made of music I grew up listening to while my mother cleaned her house. All old school Stevie Wonder, EW&F, Phoebe Snow, stuff like that. But for the most part I listen to what I call Country Christian Pop music.
And your absolutely right. I don't catch onto the lyrics as fast because they don't play the same song every hour on the hour. It doesn't put me in a hypnotic trance. And it gives me a better feeling. I'm not suffering road rage, I'm not feeling hurried or anxious. I love it !
Deborah all I can say is that you are indeed blessed. Your revelations of the word of God and the way you are able to articulate things so clearly and powerfully is amazing to see. It's on par with preachers who've been doing this for a long time.
This can only be by the Spirit at work in you. I thank God I found your channel.
P.S We love your vlogs too... Please continue to do them still.
Ahh sis!! 😭🤍 to God be all the glory I honestly cannot take any credit. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I’m equally as grateful to God for bringing you here 🥹 And more vlogs are coming again next week 🤗 love you !!
Love you too❤
I think people are mixing manifestations with the power of the tongue . And they’re trying to speak as if they already have what they’re asking for, but not realizing it’s God that delivers it. So I would love for you to dive even deeper into that 😮💨🫶🏽
Love you Debs 💕
Yesss exactly! It’s biblical things but completely taken away from God 🤔 the devil is a deceiver…. love you too 🥹🤍 I’m very blessed to have you here
Wow, speaking sis! Praise God, Holy Spirit. Keep speaking what God puts in your heart, you’re helping more people than you know. Amen 💖✝️
To God be all the glory!! 😭🤍 I’m so blessed and grateful to hear that! May he continue encouraging and strengthening you sis
God bless your wisdom Sis! You called a spade a spade and spoke the truth of the Lord. ❤
Super amazing video, I’m also in college while trying to have a relationship with the Lord, giving my family time, work, and the little crumbs left to myself lol 😂
That’s a lot sis!! Know that Jesus is with you in everything 🤗 he’s with you while you spend time with your family, while you’re at work, wherever! He will never leave you nor forsake you. Make sure you take some time to breathe in between it all. He kind to yourself 🤍
25:38 I agree! Nothing is too small or too big! Few days ago, I asked Him to wake me up at 4 am so I could have my quiet time with Him. I did not set my alarm. He woke me up lol it’s so funny but so so amazing!!!
Your testimony just proves that when we give ourselves fully to God he can change us drastically in a short amount of time🤗🔥🔥
The Holy Spirit had you fired up speaking against that new age stuff and I love it! Nothing about God is new. He's been the same since the beginning💪🏾
Amen!!!! Ain’t that the truth 🥳🥳
You're talking about the movie God's not dead. I really love that quote.
Ahh yes that’s the one!! Thank you for mentioning 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hello Deborah! I’m so grateful for your videos and wisdom at an early age. I’m learning so much from you and I’m 61 years old. I struggled for years after narcissistic abuse most of my life and I didn’t understand why evil people “seemed to” prosper and why it appeared that God had allowed me to be tortured by people who seemed untouchable. Keep teaching us older people things we didn’t clearly understand until you explained it. Especially the part about how the devil works to keep his followers prosperous so they don’t call on God. WOW! That really hit me hard that God is not mocked by anyone and that evil doesn’t win. Victory in Jesus!❤ Thank you 🎉
Ahhh I’m so grateful to hear this 🥹🤍 it’s all God! To him be all the glory! I’m sorry to hear about the abuse you’ve gone through for a big part of your life 😔 That has grieved God’s heart also as your father. Continue to find comfort in the lord and the word. It’s definitely frustrating when things seem to be so unfair, but our Heavenly Father is just! He sees everything. Whoever did that to you will have to face the consequences of their actions one day 🙏🏽 Read through psalms again where David cries out to the lord about these things! That will definitely provide comfort. It’s such a blessing to have you here Yvette 🤍 we’re in this journey together and for that I’m beyond grateful :)
@@deborahbx_ I really appreciate your kindness in responding to me. I know that messages like yours are greatly used by our God to heal people who have suffered abuse. Although healing is a process I’m confident that God will bring goodness out of the pain, in Jesus Name!❤️🎉🙏🏾
@yvettejones6196
I experienced Narc abuse as well. Still healing. Hang on Sis, things do get better.

❤The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, and it prolongs our days. This is the growing family that will endure in times to come and it shall be established from glory to glory. The Lord keeps you in perfect health, peace and prosperity for us, and this massive kingdom project. Thank you for your heart. A big thank you to sister Shadiha for her input on the first two parts interview. Let the faith talk with Deborah continue to grow from glory to glory in Jesus name. God bless you greatly sister Deborah and remember that Africans are tall by heritage😂😊!!! You are pure, purposeful and blessed with the indwelling life of Christ. Keep Him with all diligence
Amen!! Thank you Amos for your prayer and encouragement. I appreciate it beyond measure 🥹🙏🏽 be blessed also, we’re all a part of the same family. It’s true that Africans are tall by heritage hahah I got the height from both sides 🤣
It is so refreshing to see you speak about your faith and your journey with God. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open with us. You are an inspiration and a breath of fresh air. 💕
Sis, you came through with answering each question transparently! Thank you for that, praise God! When you spoke on menifesting and the movie scene about the "jail cell" (I think that was from "God's Not Dead"?), it reminds me of Psalm 73, a psalm of Asaph when he pondered why the wicked prosper while he gets "nothing but trouble all day long" (NLT version). In essence, we cannot manifest anything; God is omniprescent and He can give and take away the things we now possess in our homes. Instead, I pray that as a reminder we look to Jesus as He's in control and He knows what we desire in our hearts.
Yesss sis amen!! Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Apart from him we have nothing 🤷🏽♀️ its to him we look, not to all these things the enemy tries to trick us with. And thank you for mentioning the movie, you’re right it’s that one! 🥰
What about dating as a Christian teenager?? What about dating as a teen in general?
I always thought that was you on the outro song!! Wow would love to hear more! Haha Let’s see what God will do!
Hahah yess it is me 😂 you’re right. Let’s see what the Lord has in store!
I also want to share my testimony of Gods grace on my life on CZcams but I’ve been hesitant because I want it to be pure and for the right reasons so I am going to start praying about it before I take that next step. Thank you for this video Deb🩷
Yess sis!! Love hearing this 🥹🤍 Pray about it, put Jesus at the centre and I’m sure he will provide direction on what to do. He’s with you in this!
I am also praying for a Job right now. A lot of people says that it is impossible for me to get it, because of the location, but I have a God, a God that can make impossible things possible.
Your advice on being a creator is so good. Regardless of the medium any kind of creator would do well to not worry about the numbers and just create with the thought that if they help one person it was all worth it.
Yeah I remember, that line is from the movie 'God's not dead part 1'. I was greatly inspired by that.
Wow !!! I love this Q&A the one thing that stuck to me was you produced, write & arranged your music !!!🙌🏽 your talented…
The part about manifestation was so powerful!!!
I knew it was you singing❤!!!!! I can't wait for pt 2!
hahah you knewww 😂🙈
You are so wise for your age. Love the content!
I love your singing voice. I like all of your "past life" songs, especially "What I get" and "Nomore" Your sound was so mature and soulful. Thanks for sharing and sharing your experiences/ vulnerability.
Ahh thank you so much 😭🤍
The movie is "God's Not Dead 1" (referring to the elderly woman speaking to her son)
Deborah, I create music as well & I’ve taken a hiatus for some of the same reasons when God revealed to me that I need to share my story through music…
I just listened to some of your songs & you have amazing writing skills & such a very powerful/moving voice… I pray God shows you which way you should go within your creative path, if you can use your voice to continue to glorify him through music I just know you’d change the world 🙌🏽
❤❤ Debby you are always right on time.
Praise the Lord!! 🤗🤍 love you sis!
❤❤❤
I absolutely love these Q and A's!! It's a mixture of advice, your life experience and just a different side of you. Also, your phone?? This quality is amazing.
You're like a big sis i wish i had when i was a Christian in my teens. God bless you (and your voice is so beautiful
Love you sis 🥹🤍
At this point all i can say is continue to let the lord Jesus use you, u are blessing so many. !! ❤❤

No fr... Thank you soo much for ALL of theses video! You are a true Blessing!💓🙏🏾
Hi! I just found your channel last week, and I feel that your testimony and the words of God you're sharing are timely for me. Now I realize, and you've made it clear to me, that I should not manifest things that I want to happen in my life but should instead pray for them. Thank you
The impromptu concert at the end, Debs your adorable. 🥰 Have joy always 🙏🙌💙
Your voice is amazing, Deborah! I pray that God will do it again, this time for His glory ❤❤
You speak and explain things so well
Amiga love your videos always look forward to see what's new 🙃 Thank you for sharing bits about you 🙏 Blessing to you Deb
Saw you a couple of days ago at work and you were so welcoming ❤ ❤
I love her! I want to be like her. Following God like her I’m on my journey but I can’t wait to get to where you are!
I wanna start of saying I love this video and the answers wow Praise God the Lord is working and Holy Spirit speak He’s speaking out of your heart and this has really helped me in got a new prayer to pray everyday just by watching this video God is so good and thank you for this Q&A this will help alot of people🥰🙌🏽
Ahhw to God be all the glory sis 😭🤍🤍 May he continue to bless you abundantly! Continue to draw close to him. He’s with you every step of the way 🥰 it’s a blessing to have you here!
Deborah, I had to comment and show my support. You are truly a vessel being used by the Lord. Sis you are really speaking the truth. I can relate on so many levels. I used to think it was just me going through this or thinking this way but hearing you speak so openly and honestly, God bless. You literally reiterated 1 Peter 5:9. This is so encouraging. Thank you so much for your content. Looking forward to more 🥰
Honestly u are a daughter of special grace. I tap into this. If u feel led pls pray that God gives me a better job. Bless sis 🤍
You're so truthful. I like you.
hi Deborah, I recently discovered you and while beginning my journey with the God, you were one of the first people I found that has genuinely helped me get closer to him and learning more about him. I love your style and your content and you are so graceful Deborah, please continue to make videos, they are so helpful
That was s cool q&a. Looking forwad to the second part😊
Absolutely love this. The movie with the old lady scene is God’s Not Dead (2014). I have this scene forever imprinted in my brain. It really stuck with me as a young Christian.
I really enjoyed this Q&A. The honesty and boldness, especially when you touched on manifesting. Also our journeys are somewhat similar. This is the year I decided to fully commit to The Lord and I don’t regret it one bit. I pray that you will continue to grow in your journey and inspire others along the way. Keep shining your light sis, and don’t dim it for anyone.. blessings to you always 🤍
Your story is kinda similar to mine and also my middle name is Deborah, hey sis! 👋🏽 I was a prodigal daughter but this year in January I was intentional about seeking God. I got baptized again yesterday and I am so happy to give my life over fully to God! Thank you for sharing your stories and answers with us🤍🙌🏽
Oh how I love these talks 😊❤ Thank you Lord for my sister.
That song is bomb🔥 👀👀
Being 16 and irrational made me think that God does not care about our desire but seeing u gives me hope that he'll give me all l desire but by his will
the fact that u wanted to have a platform through secular music but God gave u a platform that is made not from lies and things of this world but purity God u bless sis ❤
Amen sis!! 🥹🤍 what he’s done and is doing in my life is just an example. He really does work in funny ways. That when we lay down our desires, he will take us beyond where we could’ve imagined for his glory 🥰 Stay close to him and watch him do what only he can do!
On time, thank you sis❤😊.
Deborah I really love your music, I love your music style. It’s my cup of tea hah I pray for Lord will allow you keep making music!!!!!!
You know what God has told me while I was at school because I was worrying I’ve been discouraging myself thinking I can't get into them big nice colleges but God has me thinking like this because I believe I could and people around me don't understand that but he told me (When it comes to God your not going to be thinking small but big and people will look at you crazy but God is not a small God he’s a big God who does big things)
I am super proud of you:)
😭🤍
Thank you so much for sharing these things and chatting with us 27:40 i really miss making music to the point of tears but i also wasnt using that gift the way i needed to . So i am surrendering that to him , and girl you sung your heart on that song !!! I hope you’ll be able to record some new music that reflects who you are now , we would love to hear it !
Ahh sis, God has given us talents for a reason. He is the ultimate creative! So definitely lay your desires to make music down before him 🥰 he knows! Let’s see what he will do, we might be listening to your music soon 🤗
Can’t wait for the manifestation and new age video
Yes girl, too all of this!! The old you is a blessing in someways because the old you brought you back to God!!!
Amen!!! Exactly! Our father in heaven works everything together for good 🥹🤍 how great is our God 😭
I love it here ❤️❤️
amazing video! 🩷
Amen Glory be to God 🙏🙏 I thank God that have learnt something more on manifestation and am so glad that there's part 2 may God bless you 🙏🙏🤍
Amen!! All glory be to God 🥹🤍 be blessed sis! I love having you here :)
Finally i knew it, the music that u use in your outro is you singing it! And u voice is so good! ❤
oh wow! you are willing to give up your job that is giving you much freedom and money, then asking god about it. you def inspire me sis. keep shining!!
Hello big Cc 🙋 praise God so much 🙏 you are doing great job darling,
God bless you very much 🙏
❤ love you more from East Africa Uganda 🇺🇬
Yesssssssss another great video. You don't miss! You're like a good neighbor…blessed beyond your years on this earth. As an older gentleman, my two cents, is leave your past musical endeavors as they are. Don't change. It makes you who you are today. If I could change some things from my past of my goodness!! But still standing and poo poo folks who judge. My 2cents. Stay UP! 👍🏾❣️✨
hahah your comment made me laugh Barry 😂🙏🏽 Thank you so much for saying that. The music is definitely a part of my journey, you’re right. Let’s see what God will do. I’ll continue praying about it 🤗
I know you said that the song on the outro is secular but I do have to say that the first time I heard it I really felt a lot of peace from it 🙏🏼
I agree sis. With my journey to purity, I have decided to give up things that had me imprisoned in a cycle of sin.
Awww! Glory be to God 🙏🙌👏! How beautiful that is coming out from you by the Holy Spirit. These have been laid up in my heart ❤️ by the Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus for changing lives and transforming hearts and still working on people. May you continue to be submissive to the Lord. More grace ❤️ and keep shining ✨.
Girl you rock! Very wise explanation regarding your secular music. Loved your performance too. If it is God's will, you will be performing Christian music for His honor and Glory. I am looking forward to part 2. Jx
Deborah thank you so much for sharing this video I loved it and thank you so much for replying back to my comment about me starting my own podcast as a 17 year old girl I will definitely be praying and asking God for the strength to start and if this is what he wants me to do I love you so much keep on encouraging others to be closer with God ❤❤❤❤
Either way I’m excited for you sis! This journey with Jesus truly is living life to the fullest. We live to glorify him and bring people closer to him. What job or profession we have is not where our purpose lies, it’s all in him. That takes some pressure off to get it right 🥰 I’ll be praying for you also! The platform I use to get my podcasts published is called: Buzzsprout. When and if you’re ready, check it out! Love youuu xx
@@deborahbx_ Omg thank you so much Deborah I will definitely check it out ❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness girl I love your voice ❤ that song yes I just didn’t know you can sannnnnnng girl love it and thank you for your faith videos we love 💕
No need to worry about how people will react to your music. Some are just judgmental and hypocritical; we just want to enjoy the work you were gifted to create. Continue being free to be used by the Lord.
🤍🤍
Hey sis, I am a big fan of yours. And I love what you are doing with your platform!
Heyy Remmie 🤗🙏🏽 Ahh it’s so so good to have you here! May God continue to bless and encourage you!
Hi Deborah. I’ve really been enjoying watching your videos. Thank you for this video. I have taken a lot away from watching this video. It was very helpful and informative xx

Your voice is so great...in the songs.,Pure talent.I think you should pursue your career but for God now.There is a reason He gave you the gift.
Thank you Austin, I appreciate you saying that 🥹🙏🏽 I’m definitely praying about it. Right now the desire to create music isn’t there, but when the time comes I’ll get back into it for the Lord! 🥳 I hope you’re having a good week :)
@@deborahbx_ Amen and amen...and thank you for asking..i had a good week
Hi Deborah😊 I had no idea you were half Ghanaian✨ I’m Ghanaian too. I love your videos so much. Thanks for letting God use you.
I loved everything you had to say in this video, it was definitely a blessing to me! 😊 Also, I think the movie scene is from the 2014 Christian film God’s Not Dead.
