I recently realized that I was addicted to stuff that cured my boredom(still working on it) and then another youtuber brought to my attention that we should deny ourselves daily and I have to say it does help with when I need to meditate on the things of God plus u find even more nuggets in the word and sermons.
Amen! Delight yourself in the Lord ❤️
Do you truly find peace and happiness through worldly desires? While yes it does give some dopamine, but verily so such feelings are fleeting. True joy comes from peace which is gained through Christ. I suggest you read the Bible and pray more it’ll help with your faith.
I've noticed I find true peace in the lord
Thank u for the suggestion
Love the Lord with all your heart with all your soul will all your mind, with all your strength. True love can make you change. True love will not leads to little faith, if your struggling to love don't worry, ask God he will give you strength to love him. People asked John when he was old age, says how to obey God, he said love your God with all your mind and soul and as your brothers and sisters. And they asked him again, he smiles and said the same. Love can cover many. Remember God loves you.
🫂"MY yolk is easy, burden light" We come as we are! Corinthians 15:1-4 is the Gospel, NOTHING added than the finish work of Jesus 💗
Amen. 100% brother. Thank you for the encouraging words. The devil has been stealing my joy recently, however knowing God is true joy and I should always remember that! May God bless you.
Well said! Bless you!
I'm never board God is still working on me
Amen! Thank you sir!
Hallelujah! God is good.
Amen!

Amen.
ooo I needed this. I have SUCH a problem with going to church (worried they will make me take all my fun away) but am committed to overcoming it. This helps
Blessings to you ♥️
Joy is not gained through worldly desires such as partying or undermining others. True joy is gained through peace and that peace comes through Christ. I suggest you read the Bible and start praying more, there are so many guides online. God bless and goodbye.
Well said Brother 🙏🏾
Amen! God bless you!
Wonderful Video. Thanks to My Jesus Christ ❤ Thank You My Brother in Christ 😊 Good Words. May Jesus Christ Bless You and Your Family and Ministry, Abundantly, Amen.
I have this great fear that if I truly commit 💯 to God He will take away all my fun, and make me miserable. That I won't be able to enjoy life, relationships, humour etc but that it's gonna be restrictive, like a little bit robot, and I'll be overly spiritual and weird. After all, we're supposed to lose our lives, right? I can't even explain it, but I've carried this fear for years while simultaneously trying to stay on God's path and it's gotten be nowhere because I don't have the true faith, which trusts God 100%, no matter what. How can I fix my faulty ideas and follow Him gladly, like the man who found the treasure and sold everything else WITH JOY?
Thanks for reading ❤
I understand where you're coming from. I think there are at least a couple things to remember. 1) Sin is bondage, which will ultimately cause us pain. Any pleasures we get from sin is temporary. 2) Jesus came to make us free. I love the verse that says "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Commit to God, and you will have a fuller, joy-filled life. ❤️
@@GraceBaptistNokomis thank you for a quick reply. Actually, I didn't mean sin (which I know only gives temporary pleasure) but just enjoying life in general, like having clean fun, joking, enjoying relationships with family and friends, books, music, hobbies, watching movies etc. I'm often confused as to what a truly committed to God life looks like, and how much freedom to do those things we actually have. Is there a balance or does Jesus expect us to be so focused on Him and things of eternity that we can no longer enjoy the above?
I love your heart! This is definitely a good question. All of those things can definitely be part of a life that's glorifying to God. The motivation in which we do things makes all the difference. If we seek to love others the way God has loved us, we can do all sorts of things that are fun, and display His love through us. The example I use with my kids all the time is that if we just play video games all day, it can be sin because it can be a waste of time, and a selfish way to seek entertainment. But if we play video games with others, and encourage them while we play, it can definitely be glorifying to God. The point is that God cares more about the condition of our hearts. God bless you!
@@lonewanderer_n7 hey I think God is not surprised or angry with our doubts and questions. I am still in the process of getting over FOMO. Have you listened to the guy Chip Ingram? He's a Bible teacher, he's so wise but also so down to earth and he unpacks many of those questions we have. I especially recommend his series True Spirituality, it's here on CZcams, too :)
Thank You kind sir for these words, Amen and God Bless!
God bless you too! Love this video, great message! 🙏
Thank you so much! God bless you
Powerful ❤
I was at a low point in my life not to long ago this video helped🙏To God be the Glory💯
God bless you 🙏
AMEN
Thank you!
Amen thank you for the encouragement and amazing video. Keep it up. 💯
Thank you sir!
Can you make a video about the guilt of your own mistakes? I've already Confessed to God about what I've done. I have done something that I thought would be a right thing for both people but it ended up hurting one of them:(
Yes, guilt can be an immobilizing thing. Know that God is love, and that God forgives you through Jesus. Praying for you. 🙏
the problem is with boredom. Im waiting on god for marriage. My job doesnt require me to work 6 hours a day. Even after spending time in prayer...i still have so much time left ..and afternoons and evenins i get so lonely and bored 😢😢😢
Have you tried volunteering at a local charity? Or serving at church?
That could help you and serve others 💗💗
You are partly correct. However, some Christians, especially the Chosen ones, must come to Hate their lives according to the Lord God Jesus. Please see John 12:25. I hate my life and I am ok with this.
Thank you for your thoughts! I don't believe that God wants us to hate our new life in Christ, but rather to hate the old, selfish life that we lived outside of Christ. In Christ, we have hope and joy, and as we delight ourselves in the Lord, He gives us the desires of our hearts. God bless you!
@@GraceBaptistNokomis I hate my life because of my constant severe physical pain which I am partly responsible for. I was injured by an Evil medical doctor in August of 2022. I love Jesus but I do not love my life on Earth and look forward to my Mortal death and my entry into Heaven. Jesus is my Witness.
I can understand that. We can look forward to when God takes away all pain and sorrow. God bless you ❤️
The thumbnail really got me i actually thought Christianity is boring because God didnt let me watch anime not even a single episode (it doesnt contain anything bad) or play genshin impact for even 1 second i got really annoyed by it that it caused me to ignore the Holy Spirit for only a couple hours and its difficult to ignore the Holy Spirit as he always has a way to get me back. I didnt want to miss out on the fun stuff like i wanted to watch a anime movie coming soon in the cinema and then i heard dont go watch it and i was so upset by that it just a football anime i dont get the problem its hard to not have fun in Christianity as i cant read my bible 24/7 i only read for however time i want and it really last longer if i play worship music. I understand the anime and games are worldly but what am i meant to do just stand doing nothing 24/7 and just read my bible only im not saying its a bad thing i just want to do other activities aswell!
I think God allows us to do all sorts of fun things like that, as long as we're doing them with the mindset that glorifies him. Instead of acting out of selfishness, enjoy it as a gift from him. And use it as an opportunity to connect with others, maybe spending time with them, and transitioning to encouraging them. God bless you, I love your heart. ❤️
@@GraceBaptistNokomis I try find it hard to be happy before I watched anime and God never said anything about it I was even obsessed with it and still yet God said nothing. I watched a Christian video about why you shouldn't watch anime I started hearing God say to me more often don't watch it don't watch it yes I do day dream about anime most of the time and I admit it's wrong but the thoughts I think about when it comes to Christ is just constant reminding of Jesus use the power of the Holy Ghost because I'm worried about an intrusive thought getting in the way and I don't want to demonize Christ power that's why I don't think of Jesus that much I still make time for him don't get me wrong this week I tried my best to read my Bible more whenever I felt the desire to pray and I mange to keep the streak but even though I do spend time with God in the secret place God still wants more of my attention even outside of the secret place which I find it quite difficult to think of something about God. Before this video I watched a Video talking about God wants my all and I should give up on thoughts I think of such as anime and games because they are worldly. This made me just wonder what else to do now that all I do is wake up pray go to school watch CZcams, pray, get ready for bed and pray that's basically it no games no anime although I got use to that lifestyle I want something else but there are now alot of barriers in Christianity for fun things. I remember my mind even being tormented when I thought I heard God say don't go on rollercoaster in Disneyland it was my first time there for a school trip and I really wanted to go on it but I couldn't which held my friends back and I felt bad I told my pastor and she told me also God wants me to have fun. Now I'm starting to believe God doesn't want me to have fun and so I'm less happy. Yes I can have reading the word and worship and I do enjoy it but now it just seems like I'm being selfish because it's something that I desire which is fun and many Christian influencer are against Christians having fun. My parents told me I can balance Reading my Bible and playing games for like 30 minutes once a week but even that I still feel weird playing games now because I have been held back from it for so long I felt free when I played games and watched anime it broke this certain chain and I felt it break off my but then I feel bad for doing so then I just go back into what I call being "held captive in Christ" it's not a bad things as there are still rules to follow.
@@GraceBaptistNokomismy parents suggested spending time with siblings but I do that my playing video games with them but that makes me lukewarm apparently because im balancing games (the world) and God. I don't want to say God is making my life miserable I just feel that way and sometimes believed it but it's because I have a selfish desire 😭
There's nothing wrong with playing video games while hanging out with friends and family. In fact, it can be a good thing to do, as you show them you care about them and spend time with them doing the things they enjoy also.
So I enjoy exercising and driving cars ,can I still enjoy them or it is wrong
Those things aren't inherently sinful, a quote from Saint Augustine I believe “Live your physical and spiritual life as if it were your last.” Exercising is amazing and trains discipline. I suggest you read the Bible and pray to God more it’ll help you differentiate sin and grow your faith.
@InferiorIndividual Great advice. Blessings to both of you.

Womp womp “you get to live a life you don’t really want. You get to live a life God wants you to live. And you’ll be happy doing it.” is what I hear.
It’s awfully similar to “you’ll own nothing and be happy..” 🤔
What ever would we do if we didn’t have others to tell us what to want and what to do??
You make valid points. I believe God wants us to be happy, which includes freedom, and freedom is not the ability to do evil, but to do good. God bless you.
