Want to give your life to Jesus? Say this prayer
Lord, I admit I am a sinner. I need and want Your forgiveness. I accept Your death as the penalty for my sin, and recognize that Your mercy and grace is a gift You offer to me because of Your great love, not based on anything I have done. Cleanse me and make me Your child. By faith I receive You into my heart as the Son of God and as Savior and Lord of my life. From now on, help me live for You, with You in control.
In Your precious name, Amen
Congratulations on receiving Christ as savior! Welcome to the family! Some great next steps are to get a study Bible and pray to God to guide you to a church filled with the Holy Spirit.

17:57 Prayer - Zábava
I am a 60 year old widow. I thought when my husband died 5 years ago that I would be able to serve the LORD and help in the church. That did not happen at all. I have been busy with my daughters and grandchildren financially, spiritually, emotionally and socially. They are my ministry and I have been single and not dating anyone. I pray 🙏 whatever You want me to do I will do LORD.
Im so glad!
Amen ❤
Thank you for sharing your testimony.
"We were not made for our own glory." This discourse for the kingdom is so NEEDED. Social media certainly painted a picture that we've allowed to trump the word of God. This is a realigning word. I had a rude awakening when I entered this transition season and realized it was not the experience others were sharing. Them bold dangerous prayers really do let God put it in that work on us lol. Such poignant points were made.
Heavy on the dangerous prayers! They are so important.
I just want you to know how much of a blessing you truly have been. I am so thankful I came across your channel. For the longest I’ve been struggling with knowing/figuring out what my purpose is. And you’re absolutely right, my purpose is to serve God. We tend to make things more complicated than it should be. So again, thank you for bringing me closer to Christ. God bless you ❤
Im so glad I could help!
You got me on this one!! Thank you God for bringing these things to the forefront to help us to surrender and live totally for you. I needed this word and prayer.
God always knows what his people need to hear!
I was scrolling, and in MY MIND I said “God , i need to figure out my true purpose. I’m overwhelmed trying to do so many things to gain financially “ and out the blue your video popped up 😮 God I don’t know if it was this device reading my mind or Holy Spirit doing his thing and showing me what i needed to see
Only the Holy Spirit!
As a single mom of 6. I’m so grateful that God lead me to your video. Thank you for your healing words ❤
Im so happy this message was helpful to you!
Kylia, I don’t think you understand, every word that came out of your mouth was for me. I mean every word! I just want to thank you for the bottom of my heart. I feel like God used you to speak to me because I was battling with this topic all week.
Im so happy this message was helpful to you!
"If that does not happen, are you still going to serve the Lord with zeal?" I honestly answered, "No" and my heart instantly broke... Thank you for this message.
Hey its ok! Its important that feelings like that are revealed to us so God can help improve us even more.
Thank you for this message!!! I prayed for a job only to support myself and my family but every time I get a “job” I feel unfulfilled but I know if I don’t have income my family don’t eat I just feel stuck Lord!!!
Definitely go on a fast! Whenever you need clarity on your situation, fasting is the answer. It forces you to focus completely on God and when you are that focused on him and close to him, you can hear him clearer.
@@kyliajacksonGreat suggestion! I feel like I need to fast myself. I’m in financial stress, been overeating out of anxiety. I’ve been wanting to know my purpose, for years now…but I have too many ideas and I start and don’t finish projects due to feeling incapable and overwhelmed. I suspect I have ADHD as I’ve always been a distracted person, I forget and lose things, my time management is terrible and it took my confidence down as people point out constantly 😢
This was such a blessing 🤍. Thank you for allowing God to move through you. Glory to God!
So glad it was helpful! My pleasure!
“Self-help is no help at all” 🤯, wow this is on time. The false idea of purpose is so selfish! This was on time, thank you JESUS!
He's always on time!
I have constantly gone to conferences, meet and greets, dinner group meetings, ALL kinds of things in search for purpose and to learn from others that said they were living in their purpose. I attend the event to only feel that something was still missing from the message. It seems like the glorification of man is the main theme of the event. The most confusing part of it all is that EVERY one is a good speaker now, and what they don't say is that they've learned a lot from self-help books, self-help coaches that are nonbelievers. I have been super unimpressed when asking a headliner for an event about the books that they've read and they lead me to some weird self-help author. I have so much to say….but I am very grateful that you obeyed God and went through your pruning. I, too, want to take that narrow road and love my Savior all the way to the end, in obedience and in faith. AMEN! I love you JESUS!
I want to add that I had an idea of what God’s purpose for me was already. The conferences were not where I discovered my purpose. Yet, I sought after things to show my faith with my works and trying to connect with those that seemed to be walking with Christ in their purpose.
And you will do it too! God is so gracious!
"I chose you because I am good, and I will get the glory out of your life..." 😮💨
Amen!
This message is for me. God has told me over and over to let go of my make. God has told me that makeup is not included in the plan he got for me. God has told me he has a bigger plan for me. He created me for a bigger plan. But I am very good at makeup and everybody knows me to be to do makeup. I know with makeup I will get can get dream life faster with brands deals and other kinds of stuff. I am battling with this so hard.
It is hard letting go of our desires and ideas for our purpose but we have to humble ourselves and realize that God's purpose for our life is even greater than what we have in mind.
I have been listening to your teachings and you are gifted. Thank you for what you’re doing and speaking to my spirit and encouraging me to do what our Lord God commands of us, to be obedient and faithful.
Thank you so much!
Praise God . I’ve been saying this for so long . So glad this was brought to light .
Me too!
The way you hit the hammer on the nail EVERY SINGLE TIME. The Holy Spirit is definitely working through you. It’s crazy cause I’ve been stuck on James 4:3 that reads:
”Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.“
James 4:3 KJV
Amiss in the Bible means: improperly, wrongly. According to google the definition is:
Amiss: not quite right; inappropriate or out of place.
This got me thinking, are my prayers amiss? Am I praying from the right heart posture? Why am I asking for certain things? Am I just going to use them for my lusts (pleasures)? Am I praying for certain things such as influence for the right reason? I don’t think I can confidently say yes, and that’s a problem. A problem that I have to seek God about.
Thank you for being obedient, I know I say that a lot, but these videos are very helpful. Happy to see your channel growing and all that God is doing through you ❤️.
Im so happy they are helpful!
Praise God for this video sis and thank you. I started to cry because you was talking directly to me. I’m a mother of 5 we bought a home in a new city and I did pray and ask God when we were in the process I said Lord if we not supposed to move please stop this whole process, let something goes wrong. But everything ended up working out. Now that I’m here with no job my husband is the only one working but overall God has been providing just fine. I begin to feel like I don’t have a purpose I would go on social media and saying to myself look at so and so they are doing so good they have a great jobs but as for me I have nothing going beside taking care of my kids. I fasted asking God what is my purpose here on earth? I need to glorify you through my purpose. I can watching your video God has answered my prayers. Thank you so much sis.
Your testimony is so beautiful! I’m so happy this video gave you the clarity you needed💙
Thank you for the word and prayer

How to one know when God replies about your purpose
Which Bible did you read the 2nd version of Matthew's from🙏🏽
I want to know too?
Thank you for watching! It was the message version.
oh I forgot to say God wants me to start a ministry but I am terrified of what my family and close friends will say.
Be of Good courage ...
Its definitely not easy to start putting ourselves out there! But we have to be more concerned of what God thinks of us instead of the world. Definitely easier said then done, but God will most certainly help us to be more bold if we simply ask.
So everyone’s purpose is to serve the Lord it’s just the how is different
Correct! We all have different assignments in life that very from season to season. It's all about embracing what God is doing in the present
Thank you for allowing God to use you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾

This video ❤🙏 this message ! Thank you so much for being obedient 🙏 in recording and sharing this message I felt every part of it 🙏 I finally obeyed the Lord in asking me to talk about Him on my social media 🙏✨ the first thing I said to Him was “NO I CANT” then I asked Him for wisdom and direction and said “Lord if that’s your will for me then please teach me” ✨🙏 Im a first generation Christian that grew up in a cult where bible reading was prohibited 🤯😩 but Jesus saved me last year and His Holy Spirit is alive with me 🙏😍 thank you for this video I have officially launched my new channel this week 😍🙏 @karencervantescoach
Wow what a powerful testimony!! May God get the glory through your life! Congratulations and thank you so much for watching!
