    Sis, we're entering into a new era of God's provision - can you feel it too?! And it requires us to (fully) surrender. In today's video, I share 4 steps we can take to actively participate in surrendering things BACK to the Lord. There's so much that God wants to do through us and in our lives and sometimes, half the battle is us getting out of His way so He can work. I hope these 4 steps encourage you to embark on your very own surrender season and embrace everything good God is working together for you.

    I’m so weary. I want to give up. The devil wants me to lose my faith but God won’t allow it. Since covid I fell on a terrible hardship, like many others. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m now waitressing but not making nearly enough to get by. I’m a single mom, my husband is with God. I still miss him dearly. My children are autistic and non verbal, I’m overwhelmed they require so much from me. I recently started homeschooling them due to them having do many issues in school. Jesus hear my prayers. I’m tired of struggling every single month. I can’t even afford the tools I need to homeschool my boys. But I trust in you Jesus even as I struggle providing groceries for my children. I’m ashamed. I feel like a failure. I get harassed and put down for sharing my testimony. I only keep pushing because of Christ. Walking with faith not by sight!

      I am praying for you! I understand that this is a challenging time, but please take comfort in the fact that God is listening to your prayers, and He will answer them. I firmly believe this, and I hope that you will too. Remember, the Bible tells us that when two or three gather in His name, He is present among us (Matthew 18:20), so let us join our hearts and have faith that God will help you through this difficult time. Even though we may not know each other, please know that I care about you, and more importantly, God loves you unconditionally!

Life can really suck sometimes but your blessings will come, just have faith. I’ve been there! I’ve wanted to lose faith but God pulled me back. I lost my job as well do to declining the vaccine and life was and still is tough for me but God most definitely made a way and is continuing to do so!!! I cant assist financially but i am more than happy to connect with you and help you find assistance in some way. We can swap emails if you like!! God bless!

    I too have been called to a season of surrender and extreme obedience. God has been calling me to take everyday with Him one day and step at a time. I often want to know everything that is ahead, but the Lord just wants me to take life with Him day by day. Very different from what my flesh would want to do!

    • @Jashera
      @Jashera Před rokem +8

      You just described my exact season! I literally repeat to myself daily, "minute by minute" lol. Because I can't even take life day by day. I keep asking God for a vision so I know what I'm getting myself into. I know He wants me to trust Him and surrender wholeheartedly, so that is what I am trying to do in this season!

      This is also me right now. I had a lot anxiety and in surrendering I can say that He has delivered me from it. He is telling me to trust Him, something that I struggled with for a very long time. But He has definitely showed up in my life in this season.

      He will, trust isn’t always easy when you can’t see what he’s up to. But imagine, there he is, in the back ground fighting that battle tht is unseen. Many of times we think he isn’t there, he’s there for you b/c look at the people who just responded to you. Believe in what you ask for, even if it isn’t there, treat it like it’s already there or it already happened. Know who YOU are and don’t be afraid to let tht prt of you shine. Listen to India Aire “I am light” and you stay encouraged

    I don’t think I can put a specific name to this season I’m in but it’s definitely a learning, healing, and growing period. I asked God, how can I spend more time with you and He told me by just being and receiving. Finding new ways to spend time with Him and allowing our relationship to grow and breathe instead of keeping it in a box. I think it’s definitely a season of growing closer to Him by allowing Him to reveal Himself to me and allowing Him to pursue me on His terms.

    This came right on time. I had an encounter with the Lord last year in December and He said "I will do it in 2 years". I knew in my heart there were things I needed to give up and completely surrender to God. Thank You, Lord ❤️🙏

    hey, sis!! I know I'm not the only one God is calling into a season (more like a lifestyle tbh lol) of surrender! Today's question: what season of life does God have you in currently?
    For me: I am definitely in a season of unexpected surrender. Surrendering my perspective, my thoughts, my ideas, my hopes, my marriage, my family -- ALL OF IT!! surrender, surrender, surrender.

    • @krupaabrokwaa
      @krupaabrokwaa Před rokem +4

      God currently has me in a season of rest, something I haven’t done well in previous seasons but this time around I really want to do better. The key things I’ve realized that are essential for me to truly experience rest are faith and surrender/obedience, I won’t say I’ve given it 100 percent but I’m being more intentional each day. Also a tough thing to battle in the season of rest are the opinions of others.. So many people giving suggestions about what I should and shouldn’t do but I know moving in another direction will only delay what God is trying to usher me into.

    Guys I've been in a surrender season for the past couple months as well. There are a lot of things I want my way, but I'm constantly reminded that I don't want it to end up the way it did before. One thing I've been learning to exercise is not walking in my own strength while waiting on God to move when/how he wants to.
    It's uncomfortable, but I know God needed to put me in a position that would force me to step back.
    "God, let everything go according to your plan" has been my daily way of surrendering in this season...along with that grounding technique, that "taking every thought captive" prayer. It's rough out here lol, but we are more than conquerors. We got this!

  • @JJDanielle001
    @JJDanielle001 Před rokem +18

    This is definitely my becoming season. He came through with Devine intervention on a situation I was in and had to sit me down so that I could become who I needed to be for that particular situation. I saw vision and assignment but tried to run (did run) and do a lot on my own, so he had to humble me so that I’m actually ready to receive that blessing.
    So really a season of Becoming and Assignment. I’m glad he did what he did, bc th e blessing is gonna be OH SO BETTER than anything my lil human body could’ve put together. I’m have so much more wisdom now.

  • @speakfreelymediacollective

    I did it. I felt it. I leaned my head back on the headboard of the bed and relaxed my body, because I really wanted to change this time. It was finally time. I opened my heart after it was cracked open and I genuinely just wanted to come home. I found god, I found me, and then I became we. Thank you for being the manifestation of one of the most important moments in our life. ❤

    In this season God is asking me do you trust me? Do you have faith that I will do what I promised you? I take my relationship with God very seriously and I told God that I will not make any moves without hearing from him first. God has a sense of humor because since the beginning of the year, my faith has been tested. We times get hard, I speak God’s word back to him but I tell him I believe that you will do it!!

    Beautifully Said! I truly believe God has called me to surrender too! God called me to surrender my singleness to Him! I could literally feel Him pushing me to delete my dating apps and realign me to focus on Him. I’ve been too busy trying to do dating my way to receive the promise, but Gods like trust me, everyone’s way isn’t the route I have for you. But these points you’ve brought to us are so relative and I needed it, it’s like a spiritual reset button. Be blessed sis & continue with the faith based content. I love it!

    I've been called to a season of surrender and have been fighting it harder than ever. I am currently 6 months pregnant and for the first time in my adult life, unable to gain employment. This is a problem I've never encountered before and has me so lost, discouraged, and depressed. I am blessed to have an amazing support system that has held me together, and all keep saying this is God telling me to slow down and come to Him because I am so used to always "go, go, go." Just struggling to understand and figure out how to navigate in this season and become a better/stronger and capable person for this little life that is growing.

    I love when God confirms His word to me through everything around me in some way. I kid you not, yesterday the word "Surrender" came to me as I was continuing to use your "SOAP" method. I wrote it in yesterday's journal log of mine. My prayers will go nowhere unless I COMPLETELY SURRENDER to God! It is my meditation focus for the week to carry with me Everyday! Thank you for your wonderful uplifting and inspirational videos.

    I’ve experienced probably the biggest loss of my life yet and I think that I forced myself to move on with life without acknowledging or allowing myself to grieve, so now my head is very foggy and I’m faced with a lot of change. I think that I’m at a point where I no longer have control or where I realise that I was never in control and the more I push things into a certain direction, the sadder I become from disappointment. Perhaps it’s my season of surrender. God’s been alluding to this but part of me didn’t want to see. So this video was just so helpful in that regard. Thank you for your content🙏🏽

My first day of practice required much mindfulness. But Gif spoke to me through His people every step of the way, you are no exception. I am grateful to God for His faithfulness and the opportunity to tune into your channel today. Blessings to you sis. 🌺💕🌸

    Sometimes I really feel walking 🚶‍♂ in Faith is easy but also the hardest thing to do especially if you are so focused on wanting to walk and be in alignment with God's plan for your life.
    I think Hope and Faith ultimately drives all your decisions 🙏

    Thank you so much for this video, I recently started getting close to God again and one of the things I was struggling with was surrendering to God, I always felt that I could carry my own burdens rather than giving it to God because it felt like a safer option. I didn’t like the fact that I didn’t know what God would do with my burdens that l gave Him or that I didn’t have control over an area of my life but the more I was holding onto those burdens the more spiritually weak/tired l got…after watching this video and surrendering everything to God I felt complete peace and lightness in my spirit l just want to give God all the glory and honour for how much He cares and loves me and every single one of you guys to go out of His way to make me/us find this video and l thank you for obeying God’s voice to post this video ❤️!!! God bless you and to anyone ready this continue to trust God and cling onto Him through every season, He loves you so much ❤️✝️

    Melody thank you so much for always posting relevant content. I find that most times when I watch your videos they speak into my season. Being in a season of surrendering can be a bit challenging tbh but I'm glad I made the decision to choose God over the flow of the river😋

    I am no longer aware of the season I am in, I know that I keep trying to find work after being Fired 😢 I know that God know’s I have no where to really go and that I was working towards getting my car so I could at least sleep in my car yet I got fired on the day that I was going to reach my financial goal - I would have purchased the car and continued to work until I found something else. I know that I just have grown tired of waiting, not to the point that I want to bring it to come on my own but rather that I don’t even want it, I don’t know how to surrender something without NOT CARING AND NOT WANTING IT ANYMORE. When I care and I want something I think about it often, I think about how I would be if I had it and what I intend on doing. I’m an overthinker and i’m just tired of waiting for God to show up. I’m started to accept that if God wanted to and desired that for my life then wouldn’t he bring it to pass? However I done told people what he’s gonna do and now I look foolish, God hasn’t shown up in that specific area but he has made me a witness to other peoples blessings as I have asked. A few months ago I keep receiving a double portion message everywhere, anytime I opened CZcams, instagram my bible, it was leading me to messages of double! A few months later and I have at least two cousins whom have never been close to me growing up that I have grown closer to recently and they are both having TWINS 😭 may not be what somebody else was expecting but twins from these two specific women? Yeah I automatically saw that as a blessing from God that I was able to witness! One of them told me, she even prayed to God and asked for them, and how he’s with her always especially through this pregnancy since she is high risk, which I didn’t know that all twins or more were automatically classified as high risk. Anyways, I’m tired of going eveywhere and while i’m on the way I’m confident but soon as I enter i’m reminded by the enemy every thing that I don’t have. I hear the laughs and mocks, I feel the strange stares from people looking at me, I know when people can smell me when I haven’t had a shower in days, though I keep trying on these interviews I know everybody around me is thinking “this girl has no motion and she isn’t trying to change it”
    I can feel energetically when somebody is speaking about me. I just lower my head because I don’t want the shame of people looking me in my eye seeing me like this. When i’m wearing the same clothes everyday or when I’m alternating between my few outfits, when I’m wearing the same shoes everyday I HAVE CALLOUSES building because of I wear my boots every single day but what alternative do I have? Wear sneakers that are too big and still have my ankles exposed or wear the boots and move on. So embarrassed I had to change my name on here, he’s called me to be honest about it and I am, but he also called me to change my name. My experiences are shared with you all, for anyone to know they are not alone if they shall read this. Aww I want to cry, I shed some tears while writing this, thats how you know the parts that i’m really being vulnerable in. God you said stay away from my feelings so I try not to tell you how i’m feeling too much but if you must know I feel like I had the faith and I did the work in which I asked for, i’ve been doing the inner work, the physical work and still it feel as if i’m outside of your will or your desires for me. I feel empty inside like something is missing yet i’ve lost it all already in the physical so how could I still have a void unless i’m starting to lose my faith. I have said my hope was deferred plenty of times, and just as you said when the desires come I get all excited and giddy like a child again, thats how I felt when my cousins told me they were expecting 😊😊😊. Maybe I am fooling myself, maybe I am just a double minded person always bound to that way and thats why i’m so unstable in all that I do? Maybe i’m lying about what I want from you God, maybe I want the rose without thorns. Maybe I was right as a kid my only purpose is to be sad while everyone else is happy and blessed. Like maybe i’m here to be made an example for everything going wrong. Its like I am the chaos, I am the storm that comes for everybody else to grow and rebuild better than before. I come around and its like it starts good but ends tragic and now people have to go back and rebuild and they do it better while I get to watch and while I’m excited for them I only asked for what you want for me and some desires of my heart specially three, a beautiful family with my husband, my dream career and to leave this world having helped change as many lives as possible however I am allowed to do so. The rest I ask for your will and your way and if your will is this then let it be, and allow me to accept and embrace the season that I am in.

    something i was told in Bible study completely changed my life.
    how when Jesus went through struggles and difficult times, he never asked God why because he knew God foresaw the struggle and approved it because it would help Jesus or those around him for their betterment.
    my jaw was on the floor i had never thought about it like that before

    Hi Melody, greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷.
    I've been following you since januari this year, while I was on my Daniels fast. I watched the video about your experience and was captivated 🥰. I am in the season of waiting and know in my heart it won't be long anymore.
    I am at rest, seeking the Father in His word and praising Him for who He is. Thank you for your videos, they are a blessing.

    Honestly. I’m in a season where I’m being pruned to the core of me. There’s a lot of things, feelings, thoughts and mindset, that are helpful, and some are in the wrong way. And I’m just allowing God to mold me into who I am called to be me. It’s uncomfortable.. but.. I know it’s gonna be worth.

  • @nicolegomezxoxo
    @nicolegomezxoxo Před rokem

    I've been feeling like I need to talk about him more. Similar to what you're doing. I feel so compelled to talk about him and share what he's done for me, but I'm sometimes stuck on what I would say being a new Christian. I mean I've always believed, but I've also always been reserved. Never really shared. Because whenever you talk about people always assume you're trying to force your beliefs on them. Now I feel like I want share Jesus. I've been thinking about how can I bring others to him? So, that's my mission.

    Good evening, Melody!! This video blessed me tremendously! It was right on time! "Surrender" was something that the Lord was talking to me about earlier today. Throughout the day actually! There are some things that I have to surrender to him. Let me rephrase that! I am in a place where I have to CONTINUE to surrender EVERYTHING to him! My life, plans, relationships, and etc. To exchange my will and my ways for His!! It has most definitely been a process. I know that the Lord will meet me halfway if I do my part! Which sis! Something that I am in the process of doing in this season and time of my life! I am in a place where I have to do things that I do not want to do, but I trust Him. I know that He is a God that will cause ALL things to work together form MY GOOD! FOR MY BENEFIT! The process may not feel good, but it's for my good! I believe that! All I ask is that you pray with me as I continue to pray for myself. FULLY AND COMPLETELY surrendering to God is something that I am willing to do! I need only HIS HELP to continue too!

  • @iamdelleana
    @iamdelleana Před rokem +1

    You are not the only one sis! In this season God has called me to go deeper in Him, & that includes surrendering & obeying. Some areas are easier to surrender, others I’m struggling in. Thank you for sharing your journey (and explaining what ‘good’ means from Romans:28).

    It’s crazy how i’ve been watching your videos since before you we’re married when you did a house tour of your space when you were living alone, now i’m 16 turning 17 and this is honestly the longest i’ve ever went without watching you. & i haven’t finished the video yet but I know this is what I needed. It’s one thing to know God is with you but i’ve been struggling with learning what it is that I practically can do & this video just touched my heart.

    I am grateful for you, I’ve been dealing with some things myself and I’ve been praying about counseling so long. And that first 4 minutes in what you said of a season of surrenderance and healing that’s what these last few days the Lord has been revealing to me, and in faithful prayer he’s shown me. I usually skip over these videos but the Holy Spirit to click on it and praise God that I did. Continue to be faithful and letting the Lord make moves in the hearts of people around you. I don’t feel I should say this because something in me says not to make it seem like you need help, but just know this was an investment and I’m giving it to the Lord.

    Thank you sis for the video I just subscribed to your channel because I saw your video on fasting, and at the time my church was on our corporate fast so your video gave me some perspective on fasting. I would say that my word for this season is waiting. However I’m waiting it doesn’t mean that I’m passively waiting but rather actively waiting. I recently was laid off from
    my job and I believe that although I’m unsure what steps to take next I know that this time off has allowed me to drawl closer to God and to trust the process. May God continue to bless you with content for the world to discover and may He continue to use you.
