Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my CZcams channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!

hey sis! Let us know below - has God ever redirected your path?!
I VERY recently went through a season of God redirecting me when it comes to the content I create here on my CZcams channel! For quite a while, I was posting more testimony-focused content (the Truth Is series) & more lifestyle-related videos (vlogs & such) but slowly the views were going down and I started feeling like I was at a roadblock creatively. I also stopped collaborating with God on my videos in the way that I did previously (hello self-sufficiency).
This all was God re-directing me to create THIS style of content again. True faith-focused videos that can encourage you and point you to God. These types of videos cause me to truly collaborate with the Lord (I mean prayer, Bible time, studying, etc.) and I know that it's all by His design. Not only are these videos being received so well by you guys (views are up like crazy) but I feel so 'on-fire' and fulfilled in a way I hadn't in a while! So all that goes to say - To God be the GLORY and yay for a good ole redirection!
I enjoy the vlogs, testimonies and faith-focused videos, Melody. 🙂 Follow Him and His will for sure!
Omg, I truly truly remember that season for you. Look at God! 1 touch from the master can bring our greatest blessing(s).
I told God why he is so hilarious.....The first couple minutes you spoke on how God doesn't give us a game plan of every year or so. And on Sunday listening to Union church service (Take off your shoe) he covicted me of expecting him to move in this particular order. So thanks for listening to him on your season of change. #confirmation
🙏 Amen 🙏 and thank you for the obedience because I really needed this message of encouragement ❤. Hope to join you soon in your patreon group.
Amen
I’ve felt nothing but confusion and doubt in my mind these last couple weeks and this has just reminded me to trust God! Even when it doesn’t make sense.
Yes sis! He is not a God of confusion. I pray He speaks clearly to you, or that you feel peace even in His silence. He is taking you where you need to go; we're not powerful enough to mess up God's plan for our lives! I pray you're sensitive to any redirection He is bringing, and courageous to go where He leads🙏🏼
Yes!!
@@mayamendez1466 Amen 😁👐🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽
I feel like I am being redirected right now. I am a single mother of 4. I’ve never really worked before because my husband was very abusive, controlling, jealous, narcissistic and didn’t want me to work. When I would work he would park outside my work and scream in public that I was probably sleeping with my boss. I tried to stick it out so I could have something of my own but it got unbearable and humiliating so I left. Years went by till I forced to open a boutique of my own and he would come into my shop and if men were shopping he would say I was sleeping with them but this time I didn’t let it get to me because I had already experienced this behavior in the past. When that didn’t work he would come into my boutique and take money out of the register and threaten to burn my business down.
I ended up closing down because I couldn’t afford to pay rent. I would pray to God to make him leave and years later God answered my prayers.
He left to his home country. Even then I couldn’t work because he would threaten to only pay half my bills and I knew at my age just starting out to work I wouldn’t be able to pay half of my kid’s education, rent, food and utilities. So out of fear of putting my kids through hard times I carried on as a stay at home mom while he would send money for bills and food
Then that started to dwindle down and some times I won’t have money for anything not even food for my baby 😢
I know this is God’s redirection but I don’t know where to start, where to go or what I even can do.
Somehow I think I still believe the words my husband would say that I was nothing and I’m useless and who would want to be with a woman with 4 kids.
My prayer is to find or create a job where I can work from home and be fully still there for my children but be able to be financially independent without ever again having to beg another human for mine and my children’s basic needs.
My faith has been tested. I pray for direction and to feel joy again. I haven’t felt happy in so long. My kids deserve a happy mom😢
Please pray with me for my situation.
Thank you so much and God bless you for always sharing content that keeps my faith still strong in God after everything 🙏🏽
Yes, amen! I was feeling like this too, I'm so grateful for God's word and his wisdom. ❤
UPDATE 10/10/22:
The job offer fell through unfortunately. Since accepting the job back in August, so much as has changed (disappointment one after the other). I even went to visit the state just 2 weeks ago now, but when it came to crunch time, they were switching up the terms of the offer and after much thought and prayer I declined the job. I feel much more at peace now then I did throughout the hiring process (I have never had such an anxiety filled and disorganized hiring experience before). I believe God has something better in store, but this was definitely a good learning experience.
August ‘22: Wow, this is crazy. I literally accepted a job offer on the other side of the country that is an amazing opportunity but literally so outside of my comfort zone. I was in turmoil all weekend thinking I should tell them I can’t do it, I won’t move. I opened up CZcams and this is the first thing I see. Wow, God is good!
amen
Wow!! i’m so happy for you!! and i pray you receive clarity from God!
@@lionrugissant thank you 😊
Same my sister. I asked God today for a clear yes or no sign to move or stay. I've heard a ****lot**** of messages about new doors and transitions. This is yet another and so is your very comment. I'd never heard of this channel and was scrolling after a long grueling conversation with someone and a girl popped up about being distracted with a verse I needed... And like 5 videos later here's this video and your comment. I bless God for His timely response via her video and your comment.
God bless you and everything connected to you/surrounding you sister. May you feel, see, know, and experience everything God has for you in your right now and your future.
I'd love an update on how everything is going, maybe a *video* of your own and tag us in it. Anyhow, God bless you sister, I pray you feel God's warmth, comfort, peace, and prosperity in every form and facet regarding your newness and His new blessings that are overtaking you.
@@shereebessard0 thank you so much for your kind words and your prayers, I really appreciate it! I will definitely do an update in the future, perhaps I’ll finally start my own content on CZcams. Happy this video and comment is helping you as well.
Take care and God bless you in your new chapter as well 🙏🏾
I love the fact that you said God gifted us with "emotions"! I never realized that it was because of how people around make it seems like it's a weakness. Thank you for your words!
I picked up on those words right away, and appreciate it🙏🏾
I definitely felt God making me uncomfortable in 2019; he gave me plenty of opportunities to change my situation but I just decided to push through the uncomfortable feelings. In 2020, he forced me out of that discomfort and into a new season. This list is SPOT ON.
I could cry! This is my testimony as well. He kept showing me that I was putting my business above Him. I kept putting it above the Rest that He was trying to give me. This year, He took my business away. I wish I reacted better but I was upset with Him. I still have questions but He did what He did for my good. Glory on to Him!
God used me to be a chef for years then study law now I'm in finance and realized that I am most passionate with finance. God uses his people in many fields.
I’ve been in retail, healthcare ( front desk reception, medical records) now I’m in media on the back side lol .. I also love writing ✍️
God has me in pastry, but I'm starting to move into the direction of teaching? Like omg 😳😲😅
Listen, a wise friend of mine who's older says to me "go where your peace lies" ..! And it's never lied..!!
Wow !! I love this it hit home this is true
that’s powerful
I feel trapped where I am. I want to move but everything is too expensive
Yessss I’m always asking Jesus for the blueprint 😂 I need clarity, confirmation, signs, all of it! But I’m thankful that God is always there on time & will never forsake us. He knows we’re dramatic! LOL
Thank you so much for this timely message Melody! 💗
You said it PERFECTLY! God knows that we’re ALWAYS with the drama 😂 but it’s difficult when you’re riddled with so much anxiety & uncertainty, it really drives us to make quick, fast and sometimes not the wisest but the convenient decisions. Luckily once we slow down and let our minds meditate & reconnect with God, the bigger picture begins to come together & align us with our next best chapter ❤
@@crazysexycool07 ALWAYS sis! 🤣 Amen!! He is such a patient & loving Father & we just have to remember to take the necessary time to rest in His presence. I’m going through this now & this was such a helpful reminder. Thank you!!May the Lord bless you!
Love this comment 😂😂
Amen, I can relate! ❤
I'm in a very uncomfortable season but God has just gave me peace in my heart. It's time to make that Very bold step. I believe that God will supply for all my needs🙌🏾❤
Amen 🙏🏾 yes 🙌
I can always tell when God is redirecting me. Provision dries up for sure. I've been at my current job for 9 months and I literally have nothing else to do or learn in this role. I know God is redirecting me and encouraging me to start a business He gave me 3 years ago. I even tried applying for other jobs and in the past it's always so easy for me to get a job. But this time around, I'm getting no's and not selected emails left and right. I know what time it is. Thank you sis!
This!
I felt this !
How are you able to survive financially?? That has been the greatest challenge😢
THIS!
This comment ❤
I’ve been really wanting to rent my own apartment because of the emotional toxicity my household carries. My mom does not want me moving out but she continues treating me differently and it’s just so much. MENTALLY I’m not there. Crying to much, feeling so dark, the black sheep of the family. A lot…I’ve had so many opportunities of moving out but my mom would either beg me to stay at home or she would try to black mail me and then when I stay she treats me even worse.
She always tells me that I’m going to be below my sister and I won’t make it..I start believing it the more I stay home. This home is not a home. I need to get out!
Update 🥺
Yes, 6 years ago he redirected my path. I did not want to go where he was directing me, so I just kept living my life and thinking "MAYBE I would move in a year or s."
I loved my little apartment and had bought every piece of anything in it just for that apartment. I had a hardship come on me and I said "Oh well, I will just find another apartment in this same neighborhood." I did. I paid the deposit and first month rent. 2 days before I was to move, fraudsters hacked into my bank account and took every dime I had!
The moral of this story is: If God says it is time for you to leave where you are and go where I sent you.... you can stop trying to be boss of your life and give in to God, or you can maybe lose everything you have acquired in the last 3 years and have to move anyway!
I recently packed up my entire life, gave away all of my furniture, and prepared to move across the country. Then God basically told me to go back to where I’d just came from. So now I’m just confused about what I should be doing. The unknown is giving me major anxiety. But God has been sending me signs such as this video to let me know He’s trying to communicate with me.
Me and my wife have a similar story ... I belive sometimes God will have you go around the whole town just to bring you back next door . God is only preparing us to come back stronger 🔆
Remember the story of the rich young man?... “Jesus told him “leave everything behind and follow me”. Jesus is the most important thing, we just follow Him and He takes care of the rest!
@@promiseandnajah9170 this was too funny! I know this was 9mon ago but I just told my Mom this...God will have you going wayyyyy over there...around wayyyyyy over there, up over wayyyy over there....just to walk in from here! Where you at😂
That sound similar to my store God told me to get to the state I am currently in ans now I've been having visions of my home where I was all my life so now I am confused and don't know what to do but pray and fast and trust God.
@ChaeBeauty
I know this was a year ago, but oh! How I'm going to bed satisfied!
I thought it was a little throwed off for God to give me a vision of the ministry/business, then have me get started in setting up the business, although He sent the right people to help me! Went all the way to give it an EIN, locked the business name in...found good people to do business with. Just for Him to say, "Drop it! We will come back to it. "
Oh, how I love Jesus! I thought it was just me!...
I needed to hear this . Started a job back in January but I’m uncomfortable, unmotivated and drained because I’m still not working in my field . Tbh I don’t work in my field due to fear, all because I don’t have any experience.
Finally I’m taking the risk and Started job hunting few weeks ago , coincidentally a HR site which arranges resumes popped up in my feed , I contacted them for help , now I gotta find that job and apply . My desire is to find that job , training offered , remote, better pay , nice culture to work with. So I can start working on my personal path ( apartment, car , relationship) . I trust God
I’ve been praying & asking God about moving. I also realized that in the Bible, God relocated a lot of people because there they were able to fulfill their purpose. So I just tell God, I want to go to a city/ state that’s after God’s heart. I’m from Chicago, so I definitely want out. I also think about my future (husband/ children) because where I go now will affect their/ our future.
God has done anything from massive redirections to small pivots in my life. I have had everything from being redirected from almost finishing nursing school back to college to complete a Master’s degree in counseling.. to moving back home from another state because the provision dried up.. to another church and several wilderness seasons to get back on track (because I was disobedient!) Now… I have my hands open, in complete surrender…my next move is God’s move, when The Lord gives me confirmation! I spent too many years of my life doing God’s Will my way. I’m blessed that He’s given me eyes to see and even though I’m not where I want to be thank God I’m not where I used to be! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This year I got a job making decent money and I am able to work from home. Sounds great right? Well I got 2 new neighbors in my building that has turned my peaceful dwelling into an unpleasant one. Between the weed smoking and the loud music, I feel so tortured to the point of tears. I feel like this is God saying hey, your getting comfortable here and this is not where your supposed to be. Well with rent increasing and home prices increasing I got anxiety about being able to afford to move. So I decided to lean more into God as opposed to operating in my flesh to try to figure out my next move myself. So keep me in you all’s prayers 🤍.
Ashley, I declare and decree the following over your life: Ps.5:12, Phil.4:19, 1Chronicles 4:10. Believe with every fiber of your being. YOU GOT THIS!
Thank you. I will be meditating on the scriptures 🙏🏽🤍
I am in the mist of redirection as we speak. I am so uncomfortable right and have been for a while. The discomfort is growing daily. It’s time to do and I am actually finding comfort in my discomfort because I know God has more for me. Hallelujah 🙌🏾 thank you for this word 🙏🏾
Number 1 & 3 speak directly to me but especially number 3! I’ve been so humbled in this season, realizing that God is truly different. I’ve learned not to box God into my ideal of Him. I needed this. I don’t have any Christian friends or leaders I can pull from. So to hear that you’ve been where I am is so reassuring.
I believe God will begin to send you Christian friends and or your current friends will become inspired as they see your growth in The Lord, which will encourage them to also follow Jesus. That's great you seek The Lord despite not having people in your circle doing the same. God bless you.
I was convinced from a young age I will be a lawyer , fought so hard and made it to law school but never made it out of law school a lawyer .😂😂 Instead frustration, depression, one issue after another wouldn’t let me concentrate I got angry with family quit law school and literally just got lost . Denounced God for abandoning me, partied so hard all weekend just to make sure I am not sober enough for guilt to make me go to church on Sunday.
All this while God never left, I kept receiving prophecies left right and centre from (2014 to 2017 )of how I am gifted , I will be a great teacher all of which I denied. God went as far as sending someone to preach to me in the club.I was in Malaysia God sent someone all the way from Australia to remind me that he loves me in the club.🙌🏾🙌🏾 She said to me since you didn’t want to come cross over with me in church , I will bring the church to the club for you .😢(2019 into 2020) Those were the words that melted my hardened soul. The next day I wept for hours for absolutely what until now I don’t know.
She prophesied into my life , promised me that the hardships end in 2019, I needed to move out of where I lived then, she said once you get rid of your current circle , God will plant the people he wants to use to elevate you immediately and all will change . I agreed , shortly after lockdown started in Malaysia around Feb 0r March 2020. That happens to be the day I reached out to a friend for intercession. Fasting started , we literally fasted almost the entire lockdown , we heard God talk to us loud and clear I never believed I could encounter God that strong before. Fast forward, The lockdown down laws got relaxed abit and I got a job right way. My friend asked me to move in with her.Now I am in Bible school doing theology, I recently got reminded about teaching by another prophet. I am praying for God to perfect my character and give me the confidence to exercise what he requires of me. And also the eyes to see myself the way he sees me.i still have so much self doubt.
So brethren learn from me, don’t waste your years chasing the wrong thing once you hear God’s voice ,follow his guidance so you will bear less burden. I didn’t cast my cares on him and thought I would figure things out .Here I am just turned 30 2days ago just starting the journey I should have started since I was 21. He had already told me.
I go through that cycle of self-sufficiency when everything my life seems to be going good I don’t spend much time with God but when I have a problem I run back to him but I end up feeling guilty and ashamed that I fell back into doing worldly things which lead me into sin again. I just hope and pray I can rise above this and that God would accept me back as his child.
I've known it all too well! But sis, God is ALWAYS there willing, able, and excited that we're turning our hearts back toward Him. Don't let the enemy trip you up with feeling guilty and ashamed. God will convict you but never condemn you!!
1 Thess. 5:17-"Pray without ceasing." Trust God's direction! Amen.
I was failing school in high school, and now God put me on the path to be involved in college, raising my hand in all my classes, and to have a great job. I really have changed as a person and prioritized so many different goals for myself.
I feel He’s having me stay put, even though I’d prefer to move. I know He wants me to deal with issues I have and overcome them instead of shifting my focus to moving. I think He will allow me move once I overcome the issues He keeps bringing to my attention. Of course I could move anyway, but I don’t believe that would be His will.
Issues like what can you give an example?
@@Faith459 yeah sure, the main issues the Lord has wanted me to do better with are: praying, reading & worshipping more. He wants me to do it daily and I had been avoiding it more and more.
Spending more time with Him is really an act of submission, submitting to His better ways. The main thing that stops us from submitting fully is pride. To cleanse our hearts He has to be allowed in more and more.
Hope that answers your questions.
@@kristinaa9476 so glad I ask, thanks ❤️
Speaks to me. Just as you described, I have dropped pursuits, habits, people, etc. But I'll say this: I'm not sure what I'm to do next, yet I remain hopeful and filled with Faith. I pray I remember to update my comment when my testimony is due😊
This video definitely made me reflect on the time that God redirected my path. As a child, I loved fashion and writing, but as I got older and went to college, I started to explore photography and decided that photojournalism was the path I wanted to take. So, when it came to choosing a course to study for three years at university, initially, I had Creative Writing and Journalism. Then last minute, I decided to change it to Photography because I relied on my self-sufficiency rather than trust what God had stored for me. I had the interview and showed them some of my work. When I got an email back from the university, they told me they couldn't accept me on the course because I didn't have enough experience in the field. This led me to feel lost because I thought I messed up my chances of going to university as I still didn't have a course or a university to go to. So I was praying to God asking Him where do I go from here? Then the next day, my mum told me about a different university I had never heard of, but I checked it out and went to the open day and instantly, I fell in love with it and writing. They offered Creative Writing, which touched on all areas of creativity, from poetry and storytelling to screenwriting and journalism. I applied, did my exams, and by God's grace, I met the grade requirements and could go to the university to study Creative Writing. Because of God's redirection, during those three years of university, my childhood love of fashion came back, and now I study at the world's most renowned fashion schools, doing what I love: fashion and writing combined together - Fashion Journalism. All Glory goes to God for his redirection!
God is definitely redirecting me. I’ve been saying that when God tells me to move I will move, but now that it’s time to move I’m finding it a bit more challenging to wrap my mind around how it’s going to work out. But that’s not for me to know. I’m trusting in the fact that God will show me the way as I go.
I was in school for 4 years preparing to enter the healthcare field. My major changed a few times but all were in alignment with healthcare. I really thought that’s where I was gonna be , Almost immediately after graduating, I felt the redirection. It came in the place of me just not being able to get any job in the field , I thought it was just me but didn’t realize this was actually redirection and it led to God pushing me into entrepreneurship. All in the same sense that I thought I was moving to a certain state but felt like God is completely directing me to a place I never thought I’d go. It has been very uncomfortable, the building process and sometimes I am like did I hear God correctly 😭 but I’m still pushing forward knowing and believing that as long as I’m surrendered and seeking him, he will always guide, redirect and provide where he sends me.
On time word, I'm convinced he wants me to move from my job
Started an new job in July and got a new apartment. I felt so self sufficient but a lot of fear and doubt was creeping in. Felt like I couldn't do my job at all yet this role is perfect for me and it is exactly what I prayed for. Thank you for this, it came at the right time. I will lean more towards God and not my own understanding. He gave me all I have and he will teach me how to maintain and grow it🔥.
Provision dried up, The Lord spoke. Wow soo good! This was so timely for me.
This is perfect timing. God knows I am in a season of my life where I am uncomfortable and I have no choice but to trust Him through the process. God is so faithful!
You made this video a year ago, and God placed it in front of me NOW when I'm feeling confused and didn't understand why. ALL.GLORY TO GOD! Thank you so much for letting Him use you as he has. I'm looking to be led by Him the same way. 🙏🏼📖❤
Thanks Sis! Amen. When God begins to redirect me I begin to sense God drawing me go deeper in prayer and telling me to forget the former things and begin to embrace the new thing He is doing.
i love this!! embrace the new thing!!
@@MelodyAlisa Amen.
God told me out with the old and in with the new. So I definitely understand this.
Amen
Amen, me too
I have a strong urge to put God first in my Life. I'm leaving everybody behind including family. People that's hindering my blessings and hindering my growth. It's going to be God and then me. No one else. God didn't come this far with me just to leave me. He saved my life a few months ago, So I know there's more work that I have to do on this earth. 🙏 I'm giving my whole situation to God. I'm not going to fight for a place that I don't want to be in. I've been getting pure confirmation that it's time for me to go.
Lol! I remember when I was a baby new believer the Father said Don’t get comfortable here, you move when I say move, lol the Ludacris song when I move you move just like that came to my mind, and boy has he done it! It’s all good.
My whole career has always focused on self love, personal growth etc but recently Jehovah has been telling me very LOUD that I need to start a CZcams and share encouraging Bible truths draw honest hearted individuals to him. I’m afraid of this new journey but I’m trusting his direction
Hi! I definitely feel in this middle of this season, a season of waiting and redirecting. I always wanted to get my bachelors degree but I hit a point where money was drying up and their were no colleges available to me financially. I now have surrendered this dream to the Lord, I will not be going to college for the time being, and will now just be taking it day by day waiting for the next step. I don’t know where I am being redirected to, but I know that this story and point of my life has His name written all over it and He has something else in store for me💕🙏🏼✨Thank you Melody for these last few videos like this, they really have encouraged me!
He is doing it now. He released me from a 7 yr dead marriage. Remove me from my teaching job of save 7yrs. Ironically, my employer and my husband had similar attitudes and of course I reacted the same.
We sold our house. God providef the original down payment and multiplied it tenfold in profit. I asked God to go with me in looking for a new condominium and he led me to a place that allowed me to consolidate my storage fees my garage everything all under one roof for a lesser price.
He has since had me in a holding pattern and has been providing mana month after month and my prayer is that he's about to make the turn for me
I can feel this so much right now. I thought the career I am in now was for me, but now I'm not so sure. I do feel God is redirecting me to a new direction in my career, but it honestly makes me afraid to take that direction because of the unknown even if I don't like the position I am in now.
Hallelujah 🙌🏼God is redirecting me right now. The water in the brook of my job of 15 years has dried up,, it’s time to move, I was sad in the beginning and wanted to fight to stay because of being afraid of change…God used your testimony of your move from corporate to entrepreneurship to encourage me, and your journey since keeps me brave to allow God to take control of each day as I listen to hear where is He taking us. I am a sole bread winner responsible for my 3 daughters and extended family and an adopted daughter, so you can imagine how scary this season is to me…but God gives me a brand new portion of grace and peace daily through his word and care. Through his servants like you.
I am looking forward to the next chapter of our lives which I know will be bigger and better than what we had 🙏🏽I trust God🌺
Redirecting my path career wise. Becoming an attorney is still the vision, but He wants me to begin my ministry/CZcams journey versus putting those on pause.
Well I went from daycare owner/married with kids/stay at home mom, now trying to be a grant writer. I never knew I would be on this path. Yet I never knew I would be a mom let alone a stay at home mom.
wow! what a redirection! I love that you didn't see it coming and how obedient you've been to the turns. do you feel like the things you learned as a daycare owner & stay a home mom have prepared you at all for what you're tackling now as a grant writer?
Thank you allowing yourself to be open enough for God to redirect your content! So glad i found this. I feel like i really needed this💕💜
i'm so glad you did too!! be blessed sis!
Johnathan McReynolds- " Makeroom" song 🎵 ♥️ resonates with this message.
Oh my goodness! A few months ago I had to chaperone my younger cousin to a concert. As I walked in Jonathan Mcreynolds was singing this song. He was the opening act!! First time ever hearing the song! I had completely forgotten until I read your comment! Praise Jesus!
I’ve been in my career field for the past decade. This wasn’t my desired career choice but I fell into it out of necessity and it’s done me very well. Just finished school after going back to get my degree in this field. I was so proud of myself and told myself it was going to take a break from school. It hasn’t even been a month and I’ve been feeling this call to go back to school for what I originally wanted to do; my first love. Somehow, a lot of pieces seem to be falling in place to allow this to happen and allow me to get my degree in this new field in under a year. There’s still some roadblocks and “what ifs” that cross my mind so I’m still unsure of what to do. I’m trying to figure it out, as I’m used to doing, but since becoming a born again Christian, I understand the necessity in letting go and letting God, in theory. Emotionally speaking, I’m so scared to go back to school, spend the money, stress myself out, and potentially not be able to get the career with the employer I want. So I’m stuck on whether I should think it through and be sure this isn’t just a whim, or just plow full speed ahead and forget about the small details. I’m afraid to do something impulsive and then regret it. Is this urge really from God? I just don’t know.
God has recently redirected me to stop working a 9-5 and transition into full time Entrepreneurship. I am trusting that his hand is all in it. He is better than good, so I know he will lead and guide me.
Thank you for sharing this! I am currently in a season where I know that the career path that I'm on is wrong and I know exactly where I want to go. I feel like I'm at a dead end like you mentioned, and this gave me a positive perspective that I really needed to hear!
The Lord does guide us one step at a time
I’ve been feeling this for months! A year ago I came from Puerto Rico to Pennsylvania. I was just accepting god in my heart and cried out to him and he led me to move leaving everything I had known behind and starting again. Today I find myself uncomfortable again seeing the signs he showed me then but now he’s leading back to the place he told me to move. I have nothing but God’s word to guide me and lead me. And I can’t say I know in the slightest whats going to happen but I know it will work out for my good and his glory. ❤
I’ve tried leaving my current job a few times. I was even turned down for jobs I’m qualified for. I swear I’ve heard God say “it’s here or nowhere”. My husband has asked/told me to go somewhere else and apply. I listened to my husband. Then there was a sermon at my church about idolatry. That hit home for me. I started listening at that point. Decided I need to stay where I am. I’m feeling spiritually attacked now. So I know I’m where I’m supposed to be.
Your video was just “randomly” recommended to me. I just moved to another country only a few months ago. I thought Jesus brought me here for a reason, but it’s been one of the hardest and most trying times of my life 😩😭. But maybe the lord is showing me something through these hard times? I just want to give up and run away. Give me strength, Jesus!
I encourage you to read Mark 10:27-30.
From one sister in Christ to another, I have to say this truly blessed me. I thank God for what He is doing in your life and I celebrate with you the breakthrough this will create not just in your life, but those who listen to your content.
Continue to allow Jesus to use you!
This time last year, I had been assisting a designer in my hometown of VA, who happened to also be a family member. I was doing administrative work, publicist work, a bit of creative direction. We were flowing together well! We grew close and he is spiritually gifted. But for some reason unknown to me, there was a sudden shift after nearly two years in. I felt like I was being ghosted. I was literally told "I've been super busy with my other business" for weeks on end and "I've been putting my focus back into youth ministry". This was all totally understandable, but I couldn't help but feel like maybe I'd done something wrong. A month goes by without any requests or meetings, and a few months later we ran into each other as they were approaching a fashion event. At that moment, I knew my assistantship had come to an end, which was a bit devastating as I had been willing to go the distance, help build the brand, and lean it to new path that would allow me to be a creative leader within said company. We'd talk often about my growth and my potential for C-Suite status. For months I struggled with the realization that I was no longer a part of that plan, and that the little bit of work I was doing in the fashion space (my passion) halted, but I also did a lot of self-reflection while drawing near to God. I then went through a shift of my own, and it wasn't pretty. God was showing me things about me that I needed to work on, needed to change, and it hurt. After three months of solitude and prayer (and into the new year), my life had been redirected. I realized there were some dreams and visions that I had abandoned. And God started showing out. From my youth, I wanted to be a fashion editor at a magazine, living in NYC. I haven't quite reached that goal, but my career is taking shape and even morphing into something else. Following my isolation period, I accepted a job offer for 75k, working in partnerships (affiliate marketing) for a roster of top lifestyle publications, which came with a move to NYC and I landed at a great apartment. I got engaged. I picked up SEVERAL freelance opportunities within the fashion and entertainment space. I was even accepted into startup founder pre-acceleration program (I'm starting a business ya'll)! I'm grateful for this redirection. I think I got a bit too comfortable with someone else's dream, and that's just not what he had for me. They say rejection is God's protection, and sometimes it's protection from your own actions, your own insecurities, your own thoughts. Thank God for Redirection & thank you for this message!
God is redirecting me by moving me to a whole other continent to a country I’ve never been. Leaving In 2 weeks. And I experienced all 3 of those signs. He is guiding and I am following. I can’t wait to see what the next chapter of my life will look like.
I have a huge amount in my life of such movements. I'm somewhere 3 months and I'm going to another place. Like starting all over again. Home, work and friends.
Now I know what it led to. He is currently preparing (for 3 years) to move to Brazil from Poland. Starting over anywhere is no longer a problem. God opens the right door and directs us to the place prepared for us in advance. God never mistake.
I am 71, coming from 14 years of teaching preschool to retirement. Now I feel like Elijah standing at the mouth of the cave hearing so many loud voices and sounds around me, and I'm tired of not knowing which direction to take now in this new season. I want, I must get to that state where I can hear Abba God's still small voice and not dismiss it because it's saying something foreign to what I am accustomed to. Lord help change ingrain habits, so I can hear and obey your still small voice. Thank you for this young woman speaking your truth. in Jesus's name amen.
Amen, that Elijah part really spoke to me teacher, thanks for teaching the students of the future.
I'm a 19 year old girl and people I've known has been becoming distant. and I've just been feeling like it's been a good thing since I've been feeling really light and free. I've been praying to god and I just hope he's been apart of my journey and get me through this spiritual battle. ❤️
Rejection is redirection!
This is speaking to me. I have been feeling very uncomfortable with where I am at for awhile. God knew I needed to feel very uncomfortable to change anything now I get it. Along with that he has been calling me to start a CZcams and I have to take the next step and just do it. God will lead me down my path ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
I owned a spa for 7 years and after giving birth to my daughter God exposed me to the restaurant business and he has clearly showed me that it is my calling. I am in the process of opening my own restaurant by this fall.
Yes , I returned to my childhood town and stayed 1.5 years. After working for a year, I took a sabbatical to spend more time with my family. It was lovely, but I couldn’t get employment in my field and the like-minded singles were not on the same page or not single.
I asked God for guidance and He delivered. I’m in a new city and love the independence with my career field. I know that God has more for me as I grow more with Him. Never give up!
It’s already 2 yrs when I started to make decisions I never thought will only lead me to uncomfortable life. I stop going to school when the covid-19 happened (I was supposed to be a 3rd yr college now if I didn’t stop) because I said to myself that “I will seek God deeply and I will enhance my artistic skills and I will start a small business” but 2 yrs later, nothing happened. I get depressed and suicidal and It came to a point that I questioned my life, why did I exist. I’m not a student and neither employed-I don’t have any jobs. Right now, I’m just existing. I was once got offered a job but quit immediately because of anxiety. I made a lots of excuses just so I could justify myself. And those were an awful time of my life. God forgave a lot of times from I have done. But I feel like He didn’t. Then, I realize, it was me who cannot forgive myself.
But lately, everything is ok than before the good news is, I already forgive myself and there’s something inside me that really felt good. I feel like the heavy feelings are gone. And the good news is, I’ll be going to school next year! And I’m also starting to seek God again. And this video is an eye opener to me, for making me realize that God still cares for me and He wants my life to be praiseworthy for His name. All glory to God. And I also want to thank God for using you, Melody so that this message can reach to everyone who needs it.
😳 I am the painter… Thank You Holy Spirit for speaking through my sister Melody. God bless you sis ❤️
i am a painter. just came in from a job...i have done lots of things... learning and doing is a free opportunity to try anything one sets their minds to do... i have done lots of other things. too
IM READY, I HAVE BEEN READY FOR YEARS. I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE ANYMORE. BEEN HERE MY WHOLE LIFE.
I have been a prepper for 10 plus years. God gave me direction to prove my faith re this. I gave it all away. I moved into a RV. I now have to rely on God for food and water, not myself when this world goes down. Its scary. But i am excited that i did it!!!
Melody you don’t know this but God had you make this video Just for me today!!! Thank you!!!
Oh my goodness! I believe the Lord had me listen. Bless you for your obedience! 🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️. I have gone from a season of social media posting/“preaching,” to the Lord moving me almost completely off. That, along with having me do more praying about stuff than talking. It has been very uncomfortable, as I had gotten used to saying things that would get push back, but knew it was making an impact. Seeking the LORD almost daily on next steps…pray for you as well!
To God Be The Glory. I cannot thank you enough for sharing God's Word with us with such grace and encouragement weekly. I am in that extremely uncomfortable place and fully aware that God is shifting my atmosphere to much BIGGER and Better. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. I will continually give God all the Honor and Glory. His plans for my life always leave me speechless. God reminds me that I am never alone, and He's a prayer away. Thank you so very much for being such a Phenomenal Prayer Warrior with authencity and humility.
Blessings Always,
God's Humbled Servant,
I have been listening to you now about a month. I fell like God lead me let me to your page. You know that saying, the young can learn from the old and the old can learn from the young. You are a Blessing for the young generation. This was right on point. The Lord has redirected a few times in my life that I am so Blessed that he did. As you was speaking on this it made me looking back and see what the Lord was doing for me and why. Thank you for your message for today.❤️❤️
I know God told me to become a nurse so that’s what I did but then while I was in my quiet time I know I heard him say become a doctor. It has been a journey but I’m going to go ahead and do it
Recently God had me move back to a city He had called me to some 3.5 years prior. I share with some that my first year in this particular place was like going to boot camp and WAR all in the same season! I left for one year to a neighboring city that ended up being a 'Jonah in the whale' type of test. So, when I obeyed God's prompting to return, I then heard Him say, " Look Again..." I believe like Peter, this meant there were more Hidden Blessings in store for me...🦋🌹
This is so in point I feel so uncomfortable and now I have to ask a lodger to leave so I can live a more peaceful way with Jesus and have a clean home maybe meet someone the Lord has for me but its hard to put boundaries ask someone to leave and they drag their feet ruse ect but u have to put your foot down and be clear on the life you want to live with the Lord bless your enemy's for sure but also don't let them stay in house
Literally just shared my testimony about this on my channel. Whew! Sis! This was sooo spot on🔥 thank you for sharing this!! I'm still not sure where God is taking me, but this has encouraged me. I know I'm on the right path❣️❣️❣️ thanks again!! Blessings 🙏🏼
I needed to hear this message today, thank the Lord. I have not been walking out on the promises of the Lord, allowing my visual impairment to hold me back. Not venturing out and letting God lead and guide me with His strength, not my own. Thank you for this and God bless you.
Omgoodness you litterally said painter to finance and I just side eyed my tv..im LITERALLY a painter but have never figured out how to make it a financially stable career path so I've had to just do other things. I am going through the hardest time right now and your channel has brought me so much hope when I just want to curl up in a ball
This video couldn't come at a better time❤️
I have held off on watching this video though it keeps getting recommended to me, because I know I need to make a move again and that’s terrifying to think of. But today I couldn’t get away as it popped up again, and was just feeling convicted after hearing a song by For King & Country that literally is called “what are we waiting for” … ugh thank you, sis for your obedience to sharing, please pray for me to walk in obedience after hearing this reminder again. Thank you!
Currently going through my redirection. I was on my way to hell and now I am going towards glory. Been a long time coming too but here I am ...
Funny you say that. I moved to ATL seven years ago. I'm in ultrasound school now, but when I finish, I plan to go back to AL. I feel like God taught me everything I need to know in ATL and it's just time for me to leave and enjoy a chill, peaceful life. It's just too stressful here and I'm over the traffic and fake people.
I recently felt the push from God to switch from night audit to a day shift position. I originally was going to go to housekeeping position. But God pushed me to apply for a Group Housing Coordinator position. They haven’t made the decision yet but I did have a second interview. This is my first time ever even considering a position like this.
I've been swiping past this video for a couple weeks. I finally listened to Holy Spirit and watched. This helped to set me free from the shame I've been feeling. God redirected me this year and shut my business down. There was no more provision. I grieved for months. I felt like I was going crazy. I prayed before I took this huge leap and I could've sworn God gave me a green light...but everything started to crumble. It was so hard. I didn't respond in the best way. I've had to apologize to God so many times. God gave me the green light because I had been disobedient for long enough. A hard head makes for a soft behind. God is still working things out for my good. He is so awesome and meticulous.
I’m in a uncomfortable season as well. God removed a relationship that I new wouldn’t turn into a friendship, but started to hope it did and it wasn’t what God wanted for me. I’m also stepping into leadership over a single woman’s life group and that’s uncomfortable for me, because I feel like I have so much more growing in God to do, but I know he doesn’t call us to be perfect in order to help his people and my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have been slacking on getting that together, but I’m getting the things I need together this week to get the ball rolling on that.
And I also did something that was very uncomfortable for me and I was finally vulnerable with God. I sat down and talked to him just like normal and I feel so much more at peace with him and with myself. Now I look forward to sitting down and just talk about my day and how I’m feeling with him and wanting to listen for what he has to say to me about it or about any questions I have. God is just soo good and I’m so grateful I have a relationship with him and he chose me to be his daughter, friend, bride, and servant.🙌🏾💖
Yes, God has redirected my path numerous times. And he’s currently at work again. I was on the verge of building an empire by myself. However, I needed to see the meaning behind what I wanted to do and where he was taking me. That way I would move more wisely. God really does use all things for his purpose, but we have to be willing to accept that and as you are implying, answer when he calls!
Thank you for posting.
This really ministered to my spirit! I’m 18 years old and I’m at a roadblock and I needed to see this video. I’ve been following you since 2020 with your Daniel fast video. Love ❤️❤️❤️
I’m in this stage right now and it’s crazy the wounds of my past are resurfacing and I’m tackling challenges, though I’m at peace and I know I’m where I’m meant to be
I was stagnaded for months! What a terrible feeling! I was so pissed of, i complained and cried out to God and he told me to fast for 7 days. Im on my 2nd day now... i really hope after this i have a testimony to share. Nothing is moving in my life, just stagnation and delay... not moving forward. So yeah... i hope and believe that something will change 💍🏡💱
For months I have been hearing a voice that says get up and go. My family thinks that I am crazy 😂 Your video confirms what I’ve known all along. Not quite sure where exactly he wants me to go but, its time to move.
This was is my recommendation wen I was thinking about changing my career path
Wow this helped me so much. I really resonated with the part about clinging to Him during tough times but not when things are good, whew 😅 I’m glad He doesn’t shame
right! we've allll been there, sis. the way He welcomes us back with open arms each and every time is such a gift.
I opened up CZcams & this is the first thing I see.
I opened up CZcams while trying to ignore some anxiety I started feeling because for a couple of days I have been feeling like God is giving me the next step in a redirection that has been going on since 2019. I was so excited about the next step but for some reason today I just started to think about the impossibility of it all & felt so scared. So sad because more than want a change I need a change. 1,2,3 are me! I can't of them all be 2! I need God. & This video just felt like an affirmation from him. Thank you for aligning your heart to His for guidance on this video ❤️
This message popping up in my feed is a sign God is telling me to move!!!
Also girl, you are amazing and God is absolutely using your genuineness and willingness to hear from Him. More people are going to allow the lord to direct them because of your obedience.
Melody, beautifully shared! For me, I remember right before my husband and I sold our last business I was at a place where I was soooo uncomfortable with the thought of continuing in it. I saw no hope, no options and no way out since it had become something that caused us more distraction, taking our focus off of what God called us to do in our lives. It was a blessing in disguise to get to that place because little did I know he was working through our feelings of discomfort and discouragement with a plan to provide a way out that would redirect us to a space where we could return back to him in our priorities. Appreciate your content and your invitation for vulnerability in the comments. ♥️
🗣And for the people that have done me wrong. Me removing myself from the situation is my lick back because people is going to feel my absence. I can never be replaced. 💯
Thank you so much, I have been struggling with anxiety for the past couple of weeks and I thought I was doing something wrong. Today I feel like God is starting to guide me through this trial. Thank you and thank God!
2021 was a very difficult year for me. I was heading down a path that would have ended up in losing everything…I decided to go to church in September and get into therapy as well and my life suddenly started to change. I thank God for staying with me through my storm and for picking me up when I fall. Thank you for this post! It’s encouraging to know others have experienced this as well ❤
I take this as confirmation that it’s time for me to go! To where is the question I still have to ask God.
I was the person in college that switched their major 46544 times, then I thought I wanted to teach TESL in South Korea, then I went back to what I started with in college. Instead of a zigzag I went in a circle haha But along the way I did receive healing and gained a lot of insight so the 360 wasn’t for nothing. I’m happy with what I’m pursuing now, but I outgrown the area I’m living in. I feel like I learned everything I needed to and it’s time to uproot and learn elsewhere.
oh, sis! I was THAT GIRL in college too lol! I would run into a hard class and then change my major to something else until i couldn't anymore and had to face it! i love that you can see how God used that time and that "zigzag" to teach you some things and prepare you for where you are now!! just like He led you then, He WILL do it again as you're starting to feel that outgrowing feeling.
I can totally relate to the content creating thing. I've been creating content out of my own creativity and lack of collaborating with God but defo feel He is redirecting me too!!
Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful and insightful. I've been wondering why suddenly everything is getting very uncomfortable. It makes sense👍🏼
