  • My Testimony | Being an Open-Minded Christian Ain’t It. I wanted to share some of my more recent walks with God. It hasn't been a straight road and for some reason these past few months God has been talking so much or I've been listening much more. I realize I'm talking candidly so if I say anything that is offensive that is not my intention. There's a lot I didn't include in this video and can include in a future video so if you have any questions you'd like me to address let me know in the comment sections.

    "What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment, and now it's a lifestyle.

    Thank you for the overwhelming positive feedback and calling me out on my mistakes. You're absolutely correct! I made a few errors in this video which is why it's good to read and know God's word directly. People are flawed including myself! The point of this video was to share my journey with the hopes it encourages you to start an intimate relationship with God and reading his word. All glory to God cause he be outchea on these CZcams streets snatching up all his lost sheep!

      People need to show more grace. No one came out the womb as a Bible theologian. And even those who can claim that title don’t understand everything perfectly. Your testimony showed fruit a child of God who Heavenly Father has been communicating with and that’s what Matters. We continue to grow in grace and the knowledge of God.

      @@TriciaRP I have prayed for you. The scripture below is what God said to the Israelites centuries ago after their idolatry and rebellion which led to the consequences of them being ransacked by their enemies and taken captive into foreign lands. It would seem that they had destroyed their lives. But God was merciful. Those who repented of their sins and turned back to God were restored. This same God offers you redemption through receiving the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as payment for your own sins so that you can be restored to God and live in eternal freedom with God.
      I pray for your healing and freedom for depression, alcoholism and all pain that may have led you to that place. And I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus that for the rest of your life on earth, you begin to live the abundant life in Christ that God has prepared for you. Come back and tell us your testimony in the coming days.
      “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.”

    Maya...I was SOOO happy to watch this video!! I too went down a New Age road and strayed from the true God and Jesus and down the path the enemy created for me. Jesus changed my life! I'm now battling stage 4 breast cancer and there is NO amount of positive thinking or stones or yoga and meditation that could bring me joy. But GOD has shown up every single time. He has been my comfort, my peace, my sanctuary. Only He brings me hope and the peace that surpasses all understanding. People question how God can allow some to get cancer or other diseases or have tragedies in their life if He is love. But I'm so thankful that He has shown me this path. God is close to the broken hearted and I have never felt Him nearer. He has opened my eyes to the truth that this life is important, yes. But there is SO much MORE than this wisp of a life. The point of this life isn't to focus on being your best self. It's to point to Jesus so that others can be saved and have eternal life with HIM.Thank you for being open and honest and shameless in your testimony! It is so amazing to see God moving in your life. Your obedience to His Holy Spirit is beautiful. Praying for peace, love and strength as you continue down the mind blowing road of growing in your faith and love for Jesus! May God shine His face upon you!!

He is the creator of all things and healing is another miracle he will do in your life and others. You are in my prayers 🙏

      I also wanted to add, in 24:11 when you said “will you Satan take my son as payment” God did not send Jesus to die for us so that he could pay back Satan, it was God giving his son to save us from God’s wrath 🤯. God is essentially saving us from himself. God is perfect and holy and fair and just. Sin HAS to be paid for in order to be in right standing with God. So he sent his son in human form, so that we could have HIS righteousness. Satan is an ant that will be smushed in the end. God is the one who will judge sin in the last days. That’s why the story is even more beautiful. God is saving us for himself, from himself.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, "Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

If anyone is reading this, Maya is right…seek God with all your heart and read the Bible. God will definitely make himself known to you. Maya you are the 2nd highly successful CZcamsr that I’ve seen within the last year that has shared their faith compassionately but unapologetically. You ladies are changing many lives (in good way).

      Amen!! Many Christians are deceived by the world or don’t stand firm in Christ because they (I used to be one of them) don’t read their Bible! Even when Jesus rebuked the devil it was with God’s Words aka Bible. If you don’t have anyone that can help you navigate the Bible on CZcams there are platforms that are helpful on how to best read it! Pastor Vlad has a great plateform where he talks and answer many questions we may have.

      It's so great to be hearing of what other ppl go through and if there's something i learned so far with having a lot of questions and thoughts that seem to contradict God's truth... it's always that we either haven't got enough knowledge about it or what we think is God's truth isn't actually what the bible says but what throughout the years has been mixed with culture/ tradition and assumed to be the truth. At the end of the day the truth has been given to us and the Holy Spirit is in us to teach us all things... we just gotta be patient and honest with God about everything because He knows all our thoughts anyways. Jesus is the Truth. It's only tradition that keeps us from asking questions when in fact as the Creator of all that was, is and will be only He knows everything. Always ask otherwise you'd be doubting God based on something He already has an answer to. Oh n be ready for an answer!

      Butterfly - We can never cheat our way to Jesus by way of psychedelic drugs, crystals, books or any other demonic means. Those are lies and they will only take us AWAY from Jesus because they are satanic. There IS no way to “cheat” our way to the Cross and to Jesus.
      The only way to The Cross and to Jesus is through The Word of God. All other ways are false and they direct us away from Jesus. There is no cheating, there are no shortcuts to get there. There is just one way and that way is to confess our sins, repent of our sins/ to turn away from them and to ask Jesus into our hearts to reign as our Lord and Savior. This is the way to salvation. The only way.
      Wonderful blessings to you🕊
      Grace and abundant peace in Jesus to you.
      Amen

    Maya I was so blessed by your testimony. I’ve followed you for years and similarly I grew up in the church reciting the Apostles Creed. I left around 22 and went “Spiritual”. Last year God started talking to me. He wouldn’t let me sleep. I thought about my life and how I had a clear plan when I was following only Christianity. I asked myself “What has spirituality done for me?” Since October, I’ve cut out friends and began to build my relationship with God. You wouldn’t believe how my life has transformed. I was in a play, I’ve gain a family of sisters, I’ve had offers for side gigs, I got a new job. It’s like God was waiting on me. I took the long route to really understand Him but I’m listening now.

Now I have been rediscovering myself for the past 4 yrs looking for love in all the wrong places & questioning God.
