This is Why God Closed the Door (Don't Miss the Assignment) | Melody Alisa

- hey, sis. today we're talking about those moments when God says no and how to not miss God's assignment when we get that response. Simply put - this is what happens when God says no. When God doesn't make a way, when He doesn't open the door, and when we are struggling to understand why. To help us see the goodness and provision in His "no", we are going to look at Mark 5 - which is a powerful encounter a recently healed man had with Jesus when the answer from Jesus is "no". We get to see what a "no" from God shows us about his character, what it meant for the man who received the original "no", and what it means for us today. i hope you enjoy & leave this feeling encouraged!! love you.

![5 Things Successful People Do Before 8AM [FULL MESSAGE] | Terri Savelle Foy](/img/n.gif)
hey, sis! let's chat - it's testimony time! just like the healed man in Mark 5, when we share our testimony of justtttt how far the Lord has brought us, it has the power to change other's lives and if nothing else, encourage them to keep pursuing Him! so let's share 🫶 in the comments below share with us the short version of your testimony or a recent testimony of something the Lord has done for you.
for me: most of you are familiar with how I came to know Christ but the testimony of this past year in the realm of friendships is one that I hold near and dear to my heart. God has know my heart for like-minded wives and familes to do life with here in Atlanta and let's just say it's been a JOURNEYYY mmkay, but once i truly surrendered that area of my like to Him and trusted that in His perfect timing, all the "no"s started to make sense and more than that, I was GRATEFUL for them! my husband and I have made some incredible new friends this year who have so much in common with us that we know it could ONLY be God and that's why I think He delayed - to make sure He got ALLL the glory.
Amen for alignment!
Thank you for challenging me to do this I need to get more comfortable sharing God’s goodness through my testimony. While mine is lengthy it’s amazing to see the patience and power of God.
AMEN!
Praise God for Godly delay!
I'm going through a hard season, but your video helped me.. I'm asking you for your prayers.. I'm going through a lot of stress, anxiety and a bit of depression. I know God got me, but I need prayers 🙏🏾
At the age of 15 I had a benign tumor removed from my left breast and for 30 yrs I dealt with cysts in my left breast. Last year I prayed fervently and this year my exam exam showed no cysts..🙌🏾 I’m so greatly ❤
Amen!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤍
Look at God!! amen amen
Amen 🙏🏽 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
To God be the glory ❤
How awesome our lord is amen!!
I was molested as a child and ended up living a homosexuality lifestyle in early adulthood. I was also a chronic weed smoker and sex addict but God delivered me in my dorm room and has continued to grow me closer to Him through Jesus Christ. It is a step by step journey but He is so diligent in His pursuit of my mind, will, and emotions. I am now married to the love of my life and best father on earth. We have two beautiful children together and God is the glue that keeps us. God used my husband as a vessel to minister to me and cover me and I am forever grateful and even shocked that the Lord cares for me so much ❤️ 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing your testimony💯💯
🙏🏽 Indeed, he who finds a wife finds a good thing & I love that you feel in love with God first ! He’s so faithful for then blessing you with a man that can lead you positively. Beautiful testimony ❤️🩹
This testimony made me cry tears of joy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story!
Thank you all for taking the time to read my testimony and respond with such beautiful words of encouragement ❤️ God bless you all 🙏🏽🤍
Wow 🎉❤that's deep
I was heavy smoker and an alcoholic for most of my teen years, always clubbing and was struggling with lust. Jesus saved me. It’s been about 3 years without smoking, almost 11 months without a sip of alcohol and since my deliverance I’ve felt so much lighter and free. God is good.
Amen!!
I feel you sis ❤
God is good 🤎
this is sooooo big!! I am so proud of uuuuu God bless me In Jesus Nammmeeee
God freed me from homosexuality, idolatry, porn addiction, extreme anxiety and paranoia, and suicidal thoughts. He completely restored my desire to live and gave me purpose. He is so good!!!!
Amen 🙏
Wow testify sis amen
What an Awesome God we serve. I am so excited for you and encouraged by your testimony. Amen
Hallelujah, praises to the almighty God
Can I be honest? I'm tired of closed doors. I'm tired of "No". I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of uncertainty, and "not understanding". I'm very frustrated in this season of my life. Pray for me please.
I will pray for you to hear God's voice on what next steps you need to take to move forward in your life. I've been struggling for over a year with feeling stuck in one place and too worn down to move forward. I finally broke free about a few weeks ago from my own personal limbo. I am taking baby steps right now forward and it feels great to finally be unstuck. I know God is finally giving me a green light for things to move forward. I actually talked with my Mom and broke down and told her everything going on in my life. I've never done that before with her. She actually came to my rescue after feeling like noone cared about me and what was going on. To be honest, she had no idea how bad my life had got and just finally taking that step to talk to her from my heart really helped and God moved in a major way because I finally took that step to reach out to someone.
Praying for you friend!
Galatians 6:9 sis ❤️🩹, I feel you.. this helps me keep it pushing tho💯
Right before seeing this video, i had been praying to God to restore a relationship i had just lost. This relationship was everything i had wanted my marriage to look like, it had to come to an end because of our genotypes.
I saw this comment and I broke down cos this is where I am. But this is also a confirmation for me because I just read and highlighted Galatians 6vrs 9 in my bible. I pray for strength to accept this no from God and not get weary.
I appreciate your honesty. Will be praying that God demonstrates how He hears you more than anything. ❤I understand. 🙏🏾
I was healed from stomach cancer and all Glory goes to my father Jesus Christ, Thank you Jesus
Amen he truly is a God who heals
Thank you lord
My son was diagnosed with autism at 2.5years old. He was not speaking. Praise report!!! God has been working and my son can verbalize his needs and wants. He is fully potty trained, and is going to pre-K! I see his progress everyday. I am so grateful that God is healing my son. God also restored my marriage!
That's wonderful sis God never fails
What a Mighty God we serve . Glory to God this is beautiful 🙏🙏🙌Jesus
Praise The Lord
Hallelujah, Glory to God in the highest❤❤❤❤❤
My testimony is, when i was sixteen i lost my mother and i eventually fell into depression,i started drinking and hanging out with the wrong people even getting into relationships that did nothing but break me even more because all i wanted to do was fill the void that was left inside my heart. After six painful years i gave my life to Christ and thats when i realised that all i needed was Jesus to help me overcome the depression and pain... Now that i know, i always turn to Jesus when im at my lowest because he's the only one that can complete me .❤
🌹🌹🌹🌹🤍🤍🤍🙏🙏🙏🙏🐦
“When I heal you, you are healed. Period”. That’s deep!
Hey everyone! I wanted to share my recent praise report as I have grown up in church but just started truly building my relationship with God and surrendering to his will in the last 2-3 years (im 23). I have been praying for God to reveal my church home and I finally found it (Social Dallas) and I’m so grateful ! It was all in his timing . And I also began to pray for him to reveal my spiritual gifts and show me how to operate them for his glory and he revealed 5 gifts through a quiz I took at my new church which all seem to be very accurate and also led me to serve in a ministry that was on my mind before taking the quiz. I’m so grateful to serve a God that aligns our desires with his just so he can answer each and every prayer because it’s according to his will . I now understand Matthew 7:7 more than ever . I’m so excited and I never want to stray again or do life without my father ! I hope this encourages someone . Have a blessed day❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing. To God be the glory❤
God Bless you sis ❤
Amen 🙏🏾 🤎
I'm going through the EXACT same thing. Except, now I'm waiting for God to show me to a job 😂
My heart was completely shattered after a girl I had feelings for rejected me at college. 8 years after, I can put together the pieces and be grateful to God. He had plans for her that were different from what He had for me. Every "No" from God is a big "Yes" to His marvels for you sis/bro.
💯💯👏👍👍🌹
My testimony is this: I was an international student in Wisconsin and had tried my best to land an internship and a job while I was there. I got rejected at least 100 times when I was in my Sophomore year and ended up landing the best internship ever in Germany. Then during my senior year, I tried my hardest to get a job but got rejected so many times I lost count. The jobs I landed were impossible for me to accept because either accommodation or commuting issues. It was almost like every door was closed. It was not meant for me to stay in the US. Then I applied for Master's in the UK. I did not put as much effort into my Master's application as I did for the jobs. Surprisingly, I got accepted to 3 out of all 3 colleges I applied to. That moment I realized why God closed some doors. It is because He is opening other doors. I am now back in my hometown in Asia and have a great career and beyond thankful. Every time I am doubting God's "no", I remind myself of this experience.
At the age of 16, I had Tuberculosis and my left lung was affected badly, I was in grade 11 I couldn't write my final exams, I thought I was gonna die that year but my sister used to pray with me and we'll cry out to God every night. My family was really affected by me being sick, I couldn't walk and I couldn't eat well I'd just have mashed potatoes and green apples that's all I could eat at that time. Fast forward to when I passed my grade without even writing my final exams, that was a miracle then I was in grade 12 still sick but I managed to pass again
God is really good and He's just a good and loving Father.
The people from church were also praying for me, I'm grateful that God heard their prayers 😢😢❤
Still believing in God for yet another big miracle and an answered prayer ❤❤
May God guide me into being who he wants me to be 😢😢
Wow you blessed fr
From being depressed every day for 2 years while in university to peace every day now.
Amen🤗🤗
This has happened to me, I used to work in a all male maximum security prison. One day I broke my ankle this ended my career in an instant. I tried so hard to go back into law enforcement but every time I never got the job. I asked God why? One day I was on CZcams and something drew my attention, a short video with Jesus Christ in the video. The title said “you were in danger” that has stuck with me ever since I saw it. I was in danger in that job so he broke my ankle in order for me to get out of there.
Thank you ❤ Definitely am in this season.I got my NO to a relationship in the summer( I got two warning dreams that confirmed this). I cried almost everyday for a month but now I am soo so happy God told me no. I am not in a rush I am just enjoying this journey with Jesus. I never thought I would get to this place. Now I can TRULY say Jesus is my everything ❤❤❤
This is so me because I was in worship last night and received a Big No from the Lord and I also had dreams that confirm this.
Funny I was Soo understanding and I accepted his No. I know it's from a place of Love.
Amen! Same sis! I’m falling in love with Jesus more & more & im thankful he said no to a relationship I desired.
Honestly I thought I was the only with that big no concerning a relationship I Soo desired.....
#trusting the process😌🙏
I am currently going through a lot right now BUT as I am going through now I am reminded of how Faithful God has been to me. I got pregnant at 14 and gave birth to my son at 15. I was scared but God kept me. He kept my family and we raised my son. I was able to graduate high school on time with honors, attend 4 year university and graduate in 4 years. At times I wanted to give up but God kept me. Even throughout raising my son, He made a way- from my job to the people I crossed paths with. He is just amazing. My son is 24 now. I thank God for the ups and downs even what I’m going through currently. Just yesterday it came to me that in this season I am going through a stripping process. The things that I idealized/idolized are coming down one by one. Jesus must be the center of your life if we are true believers. I just say Thank you God! When it is time I will come back and share my testimony of this season.
I was convinced that I knew who I was going to marry. I got so caught up, that it became idolatry. I would even have moments of clarity but would deceive myself because it was what my heart wanted. The Lord brought me to a new season and has been stripping some things off of me. I no longer desire to be with this person and just want to focus on the plans that God has. I honestly believe the Lord is trying to heal me and my low self worth. I want Jesus to be enough. The process hurts but I'd rather give up my desire than to put someone above my savior any longer.
His timing is mot our own. We may not see why the door is closed, but it will be revealed.
amen amen!
In Jesus name amen! 🙏 🙌
God healed my recurring stomach pain that I had yearly around the beginning of every year for 6 years and now I’m completely free from it❤
When I was driving home from work one night, I was shot at and chased down the road in a road rage incident. In that moment I thought this is it, and the only thing I could think of was Jesus. I told Him I wasn’t ready, and I just kept saying his name over and over.
That was 2 years ago, and til this day I thank Him for giving me each day, more time to reach my goals/purpose.
God has definitely brought me through; He took me out of darkness and into His light. I basically grew up in church, but then began liking boys, getting picked on at school, and then hanging around the wrong groups of people including family. I then began to start smoking and generally doing things that I shouldn't have. There was a night during Winter break 2022, when the Spirit of God led me to watch a sermon by Pastor Mike Todd called, "Cuffed to the Clock," in short, it talked about how we always think we have one more time to live the way that we want and in reality... we don't. Now I don't do the things I used to! I do still struggle, but I'm still in the making. I am going through a season of waiting and I have a bit of depression and anxiety; but God will bring me through this too, even though I've been a bit impatient😭. Anyway, that's a bit of my testimony! God bless!
Thank you so much for such a timely message. I have been sitting on a testimony for almost 3 weeks because of feelings of embarrassment because it took me so long to achieve what I've achieved and also because it hasn't brought opportunities I was expecting - but lately I have been lead to share it.
In 2018 during the final year of my law studies I was diagnosed with cerebral thrombosis, after a month long hospitalisation I blamed God and backslid. I managed to complete my studies in record time and started my articles (practicals) in 2019, fast forward to the second and final year of my articles, I was placed on temporary disability leave because of another brain illness that the doctors missed in 2018😅 - it was in 2019 that I came back to Christ but was mostly lukewarm. I was off work for most of 2020 (during this time I started to seek God more, it was an emotionally and mentally straining period), so I only finished my articles in September 2021 (8 months overtime). At this time I still had one board exam outstanding and was now unemployed - i moved back home, sold my car and was really depressed. This was when i decided to pursue God wholeheartedly and denounced ancestral worship (my beliefs remain an issue of contention with my mother).
May 2022 i was impatient and decided volunteer at a small law firm, i then passed my final exam and continued working (they offered me a job after a month of volunteering) but the process of being qualified as an attorney was moving super slow. At this new job i was treated horribly, it made the bad treatment that i was subjected to at my previous job (after my return from disability leave) seem trivial (mind you i had suicidal thoughts while i was at my previous job). I continued pursuing God and i would fast for things to get better at this new job - sis they only got worse 😂😢. 2023 i joined the sisterhood connect group at church and here my relationship with God grew and i finally felt at home. Things at work got worse - my boss was now verbally abusive but i stayed. The process to qualify was moving a bit and i finally sent my docs to the council in April (this was part 1 by the way and it was supposed to take only two weeks for them to authorise - disclaimer: it took over 2 months😅). In May I realised that it was time to leave my job, i kept applying for other opportunities to no avail. I was called for an interview beginning of June but that didn't work too. I decided to stay, again! Mid June a lady I worked with resigned after we were all told how useless we are and how we are not working (I was told this many times before), her resignation made me feel like a coward and as though I was doubting God's ability to take care of me. During the last week of June my boss was telling me about my incompetence because what he wanted me to was legally wrong and would make us waste clients money - i did not want to do it. I was in a really bad place at this point and even failed my notary exam oral. For the month of May and June my prayer points were for a job and courage to leave.
June 30th, my 28th birthday I was supposed to have a conversation with my boss about the file in issue (he had asked me to do research that would prove him right, sis it didn't exist and I was not looking forward to being shouted at on my birthday). He was busy for most of the morning so he did not call me in, I was also praying cause I was really anxious and it was then that I drafted my resignation letter. At work we celebrate birthdays so they ordered lunch and thankfully even during the lunch he didn't attack me, it was actually the best birthday lunch I'd attended at work, so I didn't resign. I contemplated all weekend and decided not to send the resignation letter, I wanted to save up some cash before leaving. Come Monday morning, July 3rd as I preparing for work and was listening to prayer vidoes on CZcams, it then automatically prayed a sermon by Ps Tony Evans titled "Trusting the God you believe in". I went back an fourth about whether to go to work and even tried reasoning that I will go for just one week to see if things get better or not; I decided not to go, sent my letter and lost a couple of friendships that I'd built with my colleagues. Within two weeks of resigning, I received my authorisation etter from the council. August I sent admission (as an attorney) documents to my principal, September I was allocated a court date for admission and my admission papers were sent to the council - September came with a lot of spiritual and financial attacks but i soldiered on. October 12th I was admitted as an attorney. This journey took 4 years of varsity, almost 3 years of articles, an additional two years of applying for admission, 8 attempts at board exams, multiple hospitalisations but God made it happen. I am also grateful to God for health because I haven't been hospitalized since I left my previous job.
I am now applying for jobs and i have been struggling with doubt because i thought admission was the door that would open a door of employment - but i know now that my focus was on the wrong thing because it is God who will open up doors for employment. The past two years have been gruesome but I wouldn't trade how I have grown in my relationship with God for anything. I am staying at home now and my mom constantly tries to sway me away from God to ancestral worship but I am choosing to keep my faith.
Sorry it's a long story, thank you for reading.
Continue to worship the one true God Yahweh and pray for your family’s deliverance. Pray, fast, intercede that God will not only do miracles on your situations but that he will take your family from false idol worship! ❤️ the fact that he opened up one door with your obedience just means to continue being obedient and he’ll show you more along the way.
God bless you. Thanks for sharing your testimony. ❤🙏🏻 May God deliver all the amazing things he has planned for you.
A verryy long story…but I’m glad I read it all 😊
Your testimony shows the ups and downs of faith and that even if there are some delays, God remains faithful.
This give me hope. Thanks🙏🏿
To be honest I’m still en route to where The Lord truly wants me, but he’s brought me out of very dark times where I felt abandoned and lower than low. Although I’m not where I want to be I am so grateful to Hod that I’m not where I was💚
We are all en route 🖤
I am learning that God’s rejections are indeed His redirection for His greater. This season has been tough from job loss to bouts of depression along with raising a high school junior student athlete who was injured in accident. God’s no’s are truly connected to His glory & knowledge of what is to come as well as what is right now. Ty so much Melody for being obedient sis and posting videos for us on this journey with God.
I was born with Spina bifida I had 12 or 13 operations back in early February 2020 I had a very bad Infection around my VP shunt in my head I was vomiting and couldn't keep anything down if it wasn't for my mom taking me to the hospital I wouldn't be here I had a operation after being in the ICU for days. Before I made it through the operation and I'm doing very good now it is God mercy that is keeping me alive.....
One thing that came to me as I watched is, God is intentional. He knew that where the man came from needed to hear of the gospel, so he went all the way to heal the man because it was not about the man alone but everyone connected to him, for his household or his town and God saying no to him was God drawing more ppl to himself thru the man. Thank you for your insight, this means alot.
3 years and 5 months sober
Amen 🙌
Look at God 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Love the video ❤, My testimony is I was in a career that I believed was my purpose and passion. But no matter how hard I worked or what company I worked for there was always a road block. I wasn’t getting paid getting for my labor or people coming against and lol the pandemic. God used people around to redirect me to his purpose of going back to school. Now it has not been easy but the Lord has guided me through this program and I am taking my last finals Wednesday and Thursday so everyone please pray for me. God can change any situation but the initial No is hard, something that I have come accustomed to saying to the Lord is “ if it is your will for my life❤
Praying for your total recall when you sit for your exams!
I have the exact same story. Its really hard in the beginning, but the why becomes so clear later❤ good luck
Prayers for the finals 🫶🏽 & Thank-you for the suggestion !
I loved this video.. ❤️❤️❤️
I had a lot of worldly friends (they were not bad people).. but when I decided to fully give my life to God.. I felt as if I had to squeeze myself into their lives and it got so bad that I had to let them go because our values weren’t alining anymore 🥺. I felt so lonely and undesired as a friend during that season.. However through prayer and patience (2 years) God has finally answered my prayers and sent be equally yoked friends and I couldn’t be more happier 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Don’t get me wrong I still had loving people around me.. it was just not people that would be part of my mini circle…
I’m so happy that I waited on God to tell me who belongs in my mini circle 🥺❤️💯
God saved me from depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. He can do that for you too. He can save you from anything you think you can’t be saved from. Go to Him. He loves you. It’s not worth it getting worse.
I recently got a ''no'' from the Lord. I was in a long distance relationship with this guy from NY and I really thought he was the love of my life. I was visiting him and things started to turn ugly, I had a feeling that he wasn't serious about me and then I started asking him questions. One night I prayed to the Lord ''If he's not the one, then please remove him from my life.'' It wasn't even 24hrs later and he was gone. I felt so lost at that point because there I was, in a hotel room completely alone. This is when the Lord showed up. I was taking the next flight home and while I was sitting in the cab to the airport all of a sudden this song started playing. It was the song ''Thank God I do'' by Lauren Daigle. The lyrics of the song described my situation and it was like as if God was speaking to me through that song. And He truly was. It ended up being 9 songs that were playing throughout my ride to the airport. It was the wildest experience. It really calmed me and made me feel better. It reminded me of the Bible verse in Psalm 34:18 ''The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.'' And that's what He did, He was there for me. Forever grateful for this experience and for God's grace. Sometimes things don't go as planned but only because God has a better plan.
This year the LORD took me out of my comfort zone. He provided an opportunity for me in another city far from home; I had to leave my family. This was especially hard for me o😂but God has been faithful. The LORD is teaching me to be independent but dependent on him. Through this journey, I pray each day that he gives me the strength and wisdom to seek him wholeheartedly and accomplish the purpose I was crafted for.
I had a hard pimple inside my labia, it made my lady part itch occasionally, so I prayed about it, and trusted God for healing, 2 weeks ago I realized it disappeared!!! Glory to Jesus 💪🏾
God said, "No" to a job i went for that was paying $60,000 more than my present salary. I went through three rounds of interviews and was on tge last round. I did not get the job and i was SHOCKED😮. I knew i got it and started formulating my resignation letter.
Well, God then put in my heart that THERE’S MUCH MORE GOOD he wants me to do at my present job. He’s not done with me where i am presently. This was hard to swallow, but i collected myself and is giving my job MY BEST SELF.
I'm at peace with his answer and thank him for his goodness, mercy, kindness, protection, provisions, and love.
I feel like i dodged the bullet and if i accepted that job, i would have been miserable!!!
Praise 👏🏾 🙌🏽 God!!!
Praise God!!! 🙏
I remember God had actually called me to start living fully for Him and I was so scared because being really young, you think people will most likely think you are not cool etc. But I finally did this year, I mean God had to put me in a corner just so that I would take the step😅...
But now I can't believe I was hesitant, He has healed me from depression, anxiety(still working on it but it's better) and seeking attention especially from boys, and dirty intrusive thoughts because I hung around the wrong people. He truly has given me a fresh start... and I lovee living wholly for Christ, the only decision that matters!!!
Hey. Appreciate this lesson and the below shares much. 😊
I was born approximately a little over 13 lbs, in a military hospital. The OBGYN, interestingly, made an error; and as I was coming out of my mother’s womb, I was paralyzed on my left side and was very ill.
My mother and her grandmother, however, prayed and after The Most High danced with me through years of physical therapy and use of obstetric devices, He healed everything on my left side, except my shoulder.
Now, almost three Masters Degrees and two teens later, a MRI Scan of my brain is without any blemish and is remarkable. 😊
HalleluYah!
Jesus saved me from my alcoholism and took me out of the darkness and opened my eyes and restored me, i will be 2 years sober this November thanks to Jesus and gods grace, All praise to the most high my lord and savior Jesus christ 🙏❤
About 4 years ago I was supposed to graduate but that didn't happen. Seeing my friends with whom I struggled with finish before me was a hard pill to swallow.
I was angry and couldn't even pray anymore because i thought God failed me and abandoned me. I was depressed. I understood then what people meant when they say "I was in a dark place". For some reason all I did was listening to worship music maybe that was my saving grace. The following year I finished my studies and graduated. Something I thought could only happen to other people but me. Glory be to God.
at the age of 13 i have been struggling with accepting and fully loving myself without filters and the reassure of my friends. But after putting God first and realising that the only opinion i need to listen to is from Him and HIm alone, i am now nearly 15 and i feel like ive come such a long way and finally see myslef throgh God's eyes and not the eyes of man.
I was so dependent on my husband, I had no identity or self love and felt like trash every day because I wasn’t being valued in my relationship! But God made me love him and look up for his acceptance more than I did for man! I started to love God more than anyone in my life and I started to see my value, and “all of the sudden” my husband started to value me more! When we look up for God and we make ourselves dependent on him and only him! Everything looks brighter and it’s peaceful!❤️
Thanks Melody. I have cried so much today and I really needed to hear this.
♥️ i'm so glad this was right on time for you. thank you for being here!!
@@MelodyAlisa❤❤❤
This is so true we have to tell people about Jesus and not be ashamed of Him publicly. My pastor just taught us about this very thing this past Sunday. We have to trust God for the “No”. Good word Melody!! ❤
My short version. Financial struggles had me down, especially this year. Rent went up, light bill quintupled etc. Employer gave us a raise but with the raise pay is still lower than many entry-level jobs available. In the midst of all I paid off my car in September. The same week, my car needed repairs. The last few weeks Matthew, Mark and Luke have been preached. I prayed for my loaves and fishes miracle. I went to grocery store last week, I had very little money. I was able to purchase more food than I had in several months and had money left over to get me through this week! Praise God! Dropping the mic now 🎤🙏🙏💃
I am very grateful for where the Lord has brought me. I graduated from high school this year after losing a number of years. Life after high school is not a cakewalk. I feel like I don't have to work yet (I have applied for a number of jobs though). but no results) but on the other hand I will have no income. the pressure I feel from my parents to look for a job is very tiring. I trust completely in the Lord. Proverbs 16:3 I hope that God will very soon give me my prayers answered
You are so right your testimony blesses other people other Saints that they can rise up above their situation Jesus loves us all who come to him🙏🏽💯
The Lord has brought me from a place of self-silencing to love and voicing my STORY! I used to silence everything within my heart anger, joy, hurt, vulnerability and now I allow God to guide me through the range of myself and teach me how to love, forgive, hope, experience angry and grieve.
Long post : So I recently got a diagnosis that is scary for some and is going to impact my life substantially moving forward. When I first found out I took it to God and he has granted me this peace that is unexplainable. Moving forward I’ve been trying to live life to the fullest, But there have been a series of no’s and not yets. I still feel like this is my season for change, like there is a major shift coming so I’ve began to move , pray , and be still. Giving it all to God and expressing my gratitude and appreciation for whatever the outcome is. This is not easy though. It is not comfortable and it doesn’t look the way I imagine it. It doesn’t make sense to me but this message today was a confirmation post ( literally my pastor just preached about it yesterday) telling me “lean not on your own understanding, the work the lord is doing, he is FAITHFUL and ABLE to perform!”
Thank you as always for your obedience to Gods calling over your life.
I have a testimony. I am currently in a storm and God has been providing, and even though I am currently struggling I know he will continue to make a way. Just a couple of weeks ago my electric was going to get cut off, and literally on the day and maybe an hour or two before they were due to be shut off. I received a call from a charity that was able to take care of my full balance. I had been calling multiple charities for weeks and had been told there was just no funding available, but this blessing came out of nowhere and right on time. Now this week I am facing new challenges. I just started a job and my car was repossessed, and I am currently facing eviction. But I know God will continue to provide. 🙏🏽💜
Honestly, God has brought my children and I a mighty long way. In August 2014, my oldest was molested by her dad and my then husband. That tore my family of five apart and brought so much pain and suffering for my kids and I. We got through it with God!!! And still healing today.
My oldest as a result of this has had many hurdles and struggles in life. Today though she is mother and working on her mental health. God brought her and my other children through this and he is still with us.
God has kept me in a waiting season for more than a year and it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Some days I’m strong, some days I’m struggling, some days I feel alone like God isn’t even with me but I know He always is. I may not see physical results but I have learnt lessons, built my faith and my work with God which I never thought was needed. I encourage everyone seeing this no matter how long it takes God will never leave nor forsake you, it may look like it’s taking a lot of time for His word to come to pass but He is working on it and on you. He has never failed and He won’t start with your situation.❤
Not me getting angry at God and thinking he’s doing nothing for me. I needed to hear this 💕😢✨
🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️
I was a 21 yr old with a baby no real job or degree not only did he bring me through financial instability & homelessness I currently have two degrees. about a decade into my last career I decided to pivot & he is blessing my new endeavors. And even healing old relationships that at 1 point I never thought could be salvaged he is truly a good God!
I definitely have a testimony💃🏽💃🏽 there were many times that I could have been sex traffic & paralyzed- I tried to commit suicide!!! By his grace I’m still here💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 I remember I could have been sexually assaulted but it didn’t happen👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾when I think about the goodness of God & his grace I’ve been spared plenty of times-I could run but I’m at work
God has brought me a mighty long way and he is nowhere near finished yet! He has healed me from a life filled with abandonment, pain, and struggle. When he reached his hand out to me, I was severely depressed, hopeless, and lost. I took hold of his hand and I have never let go. It has been a beautiful journey. Not always easy but always worth it!
God delivered me from new age and now I am free in him. Hallelujah 🙌
Just a few months ago I was keeping the wrong company,running from my traumas, conforming to the ways of the world and living a life that I was not called to. And then God happened. At the beginning of August I turned to the Lord for refuge,I was so tired of the emptiness and loneliness I was feeling. And He welcomed me back with open arms. He is healing me more and more every single day and restoring in my life in ways I did not know were possible. The life I used to live and the things I used to do? I no longer have a desire for that. All I want is to be in amazing relationship with God and to live the life He has called me to live❤️
I think my testimony is still in progress, but my therapist told me that I have major depressive disorder. Since seeing my therapist and continuing to walk in the pace of grace (journey, hunnny), I am making strides toward wellness. Today was a hard day, so it was hard to see the progress I made until you asked me to share a testimony, and I realized I am still better than I was 2 weeks ago...even with this rough day.
The Lord saved me and my family from facing eviction!!! We have been going through alot of financial hardships over the past few years and back in August we were supposed to be kicked out BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE ARE SAVED! He also showed me that he will provide us money to fix up the broken places and things in the house as well, I haven’t seen it happen yet but I know it will! God is good all the time!!!!!
Lately I have been learning how to trust God, especially in situations that aren't logical/make any sense. I go to a university that has horrible parking, as in you usually have to park 15-20 minutes out of the way because all the good spots are taken early. There is a specific spot I have been believing God for. Today, when I was trying to find parking to go to lab the entire parking lot was full. A black pickup truck was parked in the spot I wanted. As I was driving out of the parking garage I saw a black pickup truck in my rearview mirror. I went back around to find my spot empty! It may seem small but it was really important to me and a reminder God is always looking out for me.
These testimonies are beautiful. I pray God continues to bless each and every one of you. My name is Bethany from FL currently 24, I grew up in a verbal and mental abusive home from my father. My mother couldn’t handle it health wise she had to have a heart transplant in 2017. My senior year of college they said she only had 2 months to live I prayed and asked God to save her. And he did. After I met this guy he was verbally, physically and mentally abusive. After putting me at gun point and many other incidents which I never called the police. November 2nd made a whole year I haven’t seen him in person. Last year the majority of the year I stayed away but for 2 months I did decide to give him another chance. I bless God I still get sad and down sometimes but God has brought me so far have bought me a new car and working on getting a house and getting my business off the ground. God has saved my life multiple times, and I thank God what the Devil meant for evil God got the Glory! 💕
Hi everyone This is my Testimony...I am a 25 year old in my 3rd year of Medical school. Earlier this year, I found out I was pregnant. Obviously my biggest fear was how am I gona finish this academic year without having to repeat the year? There was some practical I had to do at the hospital and I was so heavily pregnant. My entire pregnancy was bitter sweet, a lot happened. Fast forward, I gave birth late September, I wrote every single assessment, I did the Practicals and qualified to write all my exams. I'm currently in the middle of my exams and I know I'm going to passin the name of Jesus. God has sustained me.
If God before you who can be against you
A little snippet of my testimony is that back then I used to think so negatively about life to where I would complain a lot. God showed me to be more grateful for the things I have and don't have. Because of Him, I am prone to be more positive and I always try my best to talk to Him every day. Whatever it is you're going through, be grateful and remember He works ALL things for our good (Romans 8:28 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18)
I moved to my homeland to fulfil my dream of working abroad where I ended up constantly bullied, contemplating of giving up and going back home I turned to the Lord every week praying for his help, protection and guidance. At the end I did an amazing six years in the company winning promotions and making an impact. Thank you Jesus for the blessings. You are good. 🙏
For about 10 years I was deeply depressed
And with this depression came behavior and mindsets that absolutely destroyed me (which is normal with depression).
Developed addictions and habits that I hated but still did just for moments of happiness.
And it was this year in May after years of crying in prayer and begging the Lord to take my life or this pain away, that he delivered me from this darkness.
One thing I am most grateful for is my mind, that is the biggest battle when you feel that way, but the Lord took my way of thinking about EVERYTHING and completely flipped it.
All I can see now, is how the Lord would turn it around for me.
Cause if he did it once, he can do it again.
I am still learning so much, and it's hard most days. But I will never take from granted what he has brought me out of.
No matter how dark something ma look or I may feel. My worship is my weapon in those times.
Anhwhooo lol, I'm super super grateful that the Lord heard my cry and delivered my mind from the torment.
I was saved from going through deep depression due to disagreements with my in-laws. (We lived in the same household). I went through crazy postpartum depression with my first pregnancy. Just a lot of cultural differences aswell as just the thought of feeling like they were bringing me down as a first time mother. I was due for my next in December 2022. Prayed my heart and soul out during 2022 as I knew if I were to continue to go down that road - I wouldn’t make it. (Postpartum ain’t no joke).
With the Grace of God, patience and reminding myself of our faithful God but also trusting him with my all. He free’d me from them but he also managed to help me gain a better relationship with them - find a better understanding and helped me stay calm through the moments that I would get triggered. I absolutely love my in-laws, and thank God for getting me through that trial and tribulation because I have now lost anger, hatred and hurt and have gained love, patience and understanding that I have towards them.
This is only one of MANY testimony’s I have experienced with my walk.
God is good, all the time.
All the time, God is good!
I was raised in a Christian household and always believed but my faith really started to form while in high school however it was rocky. Now being in college and having a daughter my faith and is at its highest. I have never leaned on God as much as I do now. Having my daughter really made me place my trust in Jesus and each day is a struggle now to let fear and anxiety and worry take over. Your videos help so much ❤️
When I as in middle school my parents went through a bad divorce and my heart was filled with so much pain and hatred but in that moment the lord picked me up and wiped my tears , he healed my heart and I have so much love for both of my parents and i don’t hate anyone I am setting into a new position in Highschool and I have so much joy and happiness though sometimes I have down days i always remember that God will never forsake me
I'm going through a hard season, but your video helped me.
I'm asking you for your prayers..I'm going through a lot of
stress, anxiety and a bit of depression. I know God got me, but I need prayers🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God is so good, he’s worked a whole lot on my behalf. And right now I’m ready to step into my new season of stability. I’m praying God grant me the wisdom and strength to step into this new responsibility
I am learning more about who God created me to be beyond who I thought I should be. God used a very painful situation to reveal who He is in life as my all sufficient and my provider. I had always depended on man to be help and for validation but God most High is showing me that all I’ve ever needed was Him alone.
God had me in what I thought was a silent season but he opened so many doors for me to make a way ❤
Loved this video! My Testimony: This year I've had the most spiritual growth. God truly touched my heart. He has freed me from so much hurt, pain, anger, porn and sex addiction, self-doubt, being a perfectionist, and sadness. I've been so hurt by past friendships, family, relationships, and childhood trauma (raped at a young age). This entire year He has taught me how to listen and be obedient to His voice. He has shown me how strong I truly am and how undeniable His love and power are. This is actually my first time sharing this testimony publicly. I am truly thankful for this moment. God, I give you the glory. To everyone sharing their testimony, may God continue to see you through. May God continue to uplift, bless, guide, and protect you!
Whew! Recent testimony would be how God has been faithful in my walk with grief. I lost my son @ 35 weeks pregnant unexpectedly in February and when I say I didn’t know which way was up, whew! Hit me like a ton of bricks 💔 but by His grace, I am still here. My days aren’t as sad as they used to be, I’m grateful to God for having a support system and women of Christ who have lifted me up in prayer whenever I needed it. My marriage has taken a beating though but I am walking by faith that He will turn it around for us 🙏🏽🥹🫶🏾 praying for all loss mamas and women who have suffered any level of child loss ❤
I was struggling to make rent, fulfill basic needs like dental care, beauty salon, providing for myself and dog and God blessed with a job that pays me the amount I wanted! Y’all, I was searching for a better job for months. I thought I found a good company that wanted to hire me, but they hired someone else hours before my final interview. I was crushed! The next day, I was offered a promotion at my job that I did not apply for! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 God provided!!!
I feel as though God took everything that I had just for me to get closer to God. When I was successful, I didn’t pray as much as I do now. I didn’t lean on God or care if my actions would hurt God. I only cared about myself. I felt that I worked for what I had instead of being grateful for what God has done for me time and time again. God healed me from scoliosis in 2014. Now the doctors think I am lying when I say I had it…. God also gave me the world and more and I turned my back on him. I was greedy. Now my life is flipped upside down and I don’t understand how it happened so fast. My son passed away, my grandma passed away, my uncle passed away. I am in a house full of people and I don’t have my own space. Sometimes I wake up and just cry. Like today. Videos like this give me hope and better understanding. I know now that God just misses me. He loves me and he is protecting me. I just have to get better but this time give praises to our Lord almighty Jesus Christ 🙏🏾
So glad that Mel felt led to have this be a Testimony Service here in the comments! One testimony I'd like to share is how God led me to attend a specific University. It was the furthest away from my hometown, but I felt His presence leading me there. Fast forward to today (11 years since) and I can see why God had me to go there. My attendance at this University directly aligns with the many blessings that I have today. I am forever grateful and I will choose to follow God again and again to mature in Him. It's not easy, but we gotta grow.
Ha. This was such a specific confirmation for me. Thanks sister. Ps He healed me of 5 demons and I’m getting a no for becoming a Catholic nun and encouraged to write and again and share all he did for me!
God has healed me,had been struggling with headache for some time but he has healed me...he keeps reaffirming to me that he is healing me...
I used to be really insecure but that is changing as well,I know I am made in his image and am beautiful and loved ❤❤❤I keep affirming to myself that I am loved,amazing,chosen and beautiful...I can still have bad moments when am struggling with the insecurity but I keep telling myself what God's word says and who I am in him...plus affirming myself daily ❤❤❤
I would like to share. I’m just watching this video so I’m late. This year God delivered me from a toxic marriage, forgetting my self worth and loosing my confidence. I was raised in the church but god has put me on another higher level of spiritual journey and I am thankful. ❤❤❤
I spent my entire life dedicated to getting good grades. It was the only way I knew how to help my mom and change our situation in the long run. Senior year came around, and I couldn't get into any of the schools I applied to. Despite my grades, extracurriculars, and scores; I was rejected by 17, and waitlisted by 1. It may seem trivial for some but I spent my entire life trying to be and do the best so that I could get into college. After it appeared that all hope was gone, I planned to take my life after graduation... But God!! He cared more about my life than I ever did and sent someone to literally save me from myself. Through a community of angels, I was accepted into a college bridge program without ever applying and became the first in my family to receive a college degree. So from that moment on, I dedicated my life not to academics, but to God.
I was in a relationship that I knew I was not supposed to be in. I was walking in disobedience to God for 6 months, ignoring all the red flags and warnings all because I was looking for love that could only be found in Jesus. After 6 months, I finally ended the relationship and God has healed me from a broken heart, insecurities and rejection. I’m learning to forgive myself first and foremost and I have truly fallen in love with Jesus and got my fire back for the Lord! 🤍
The Heavenly Father has brought me through so much but one thing that comes to mind is my emotional trauma. I came from a broken home where I didn't have my father much which grew into hate unfortunately. Fast forward some years I'm talking to my father and having an amazing relationship with him. Also my husband and I are in an amazing place. I never realized how I was dumping my trauma on him. But now we have God at the center of our marriage and God just continues to bless him. I thank God for saving my life and my marriage!
God has taken me from a toxic relationship, released me from addiction and is now about to show himself strong in my degree as I go for my last attempt believing on his word. Very uncomfortable but I won’t do anything else but to trust because I am extremely tired. But God is great. 🙏🏾
Hi everyone! God had brought me out of a dark place. The place of insecurity, not knowing my worth, and belittling my standards. Through time and hardship and his answer NO I have now found peace in his word. I’ve started my celibacy journey and I feel Amazing. I know it’s not gonna be easy, but with God by my side anything is possible❤
1st, thank you for these weekly reminders and encouragement! You are truly a blessing.
In 2015, I was at the lowest point in my life feeling like the devil was winning on every end! I cried. I prayed & I felt like God was letting me go. I really did! I felt guilty because I knew better & in what I call my final hour. I cried & said God, I'm tired. I'm really tired. I've given everything in me I had to give & I'm hurting. The closet people will rob you of everything & feel nothing! But, when I say God's timing is like no other. Please know that there is no truer statement. He blessed beyond anything i could have ever imagined & even though I was hurting, I had to go through that for remembrance of who I truly serve. Man can take many things but God can deliver peace in the midst of any storm! Their none greater than the Lord I serve! 🙌🏾❤️
I Thank God For His Faithfulness These Last Couple of Months Have Been Rough...But God Has Remained Faithful Through It All....To God Be The Glory
My testimony is when I was 15 I hated myself and I was always looked for something to fill the void in my heart and nothing ever worked and I started running away from God and trying to do things on my own and one day God got me out of it and presented me with a choice to continue living how I was living or to give my whole life over to Him it’s been 3-4 months since and God has pulled me through so much and showed me my worth and purpose and I never felt so loved❤️God is there and wants a relationship with you make that decision to be with Him God Loves you❤️
Hey all! I am currently preparing for an intense mid-term exam presentation, I am an architecture student - in the past I would be so stressed out and in full-panic mode but PRAISE BE TO GOD, I have been calm! The type of calm that literally is transcending my understanding. I am also sharing my testimony IN ADVANCE, I believe and am speaking in crazy faith that I will finish all my work on time and present it with a peaceful mind on Thursday by God's will!!
Whew! This was good. This year has been tough for me in not understanding how or why things have gone the way they have from experiencing a miscarriage at the top of the year to getting pregnant again and experiencing debilitating pains from my body being out of alignment and not getting the care I needed during my first pregnancy. Though there has been quiet a bit of doubt, fear, and anxiety.. God has brought me to specific scripture regarding pregnancy letting me know that nothing is impossible with Him. While also giving me a hope for future that He can be trusted and be a Father to me after I’ve had many failed relationships including close ones with my mother and brother. So thankful for your devotion to God and dedication to getting these videos out for us. It’s always a blessing. Praying for you and everyone in the comments. 💜
Hey, sis! First of all thank you for blessing me with this word. I am currently facing the "NO" from God but is a "NO" that came with a "I am still with you though". So I am an asylum seeker currently in Germany and we are being deported back to Africa one by one daily, I just witnessed a friend of mine got deported while 8 months pregnant and with two kids, deported back without anything, no money, no clothes Nada. Very sad & horrific. End of october before all this started God called me to do a 3 day Esther fast, I didn't know why, I remember asking him "okay what am I supposed to pray about", I didn't get an answer But I had to be obedient and just fast. On day 3 of my fast as I was ending it God told me to read Psalm 23 before I sleep & in the morning (Everyday). Again I didn't understand why But I started doing it. Last weekend when I came to learn about the deportation I I starting crying, literally sobbing in gratitude on how God Loves me so much, He knows me yáll....he came to me to WARN me, to strengthen me before the whole deportation started. If you read Psalm 23 is God saying hey I am your shepherd, I will Alwasy lead you to greener pastures & quiet waters AND EVEN if you walk in the darkest vally I will be with you. Right now I know we might be going back home BUT God is with me, His hand is in my situation. He is working it out. And just like you said sis that it might not be how I want it to be (like remaining in Germany) But I can trust in God. I made a video on my channel explaining the deportation situation in Germany and how I am dealing with it, You can watch it here: czcams.com/video/ydHwgoOgABA/video.htmlsi=c7NnUolDPUOAJVmy for more clarity. And again thank you for this video it really encouraged me more. Stay Blessed and Pray for us🙏
Melody! This video is such a blessing in so many ways. I would say the major theme of my testimony is that God has not allowed me to have several things I've wanted and I have always had a sense that this is because He wanted me to come to love Him more than anything else in this world. And this is exactly what has happened. He gave me the opportunity to be a true disciple by not letting me get too entrenched or attached to this earthly life, and He has given me the grace to keep saying yes to Him. Although painful at times, there is nothing better than living a Christ centered life. As you know, we don't automatically do that as humans. The flesh is uncooperative but fortunately our Jesus heals and delivers! AMEN
Two years ago I was suffering with postpartum depression it got bad then I was put on medication for anxiety and depression after having a mental breakdown in 2021…2023 God healed me I’m no longer on medication my life has been the best since I let God in and been trusting him ! 😊
I just went through an isolation season and God not only sustained me through it, but brought me everything I needed at the right time! He also taught me how to seek his will more intentionally and hear from him. Everything about my spiritual journey feels upgraded right now (even my ‘arguments’ with him). He’s also been confirming so much in my life, his will, promises…. I am excited for my promised land and season of winning streaks!!!!
This hit home for me!! I just recently got a no concerning a job opportunity. To me it seemed so perfect but God did not give me the go ahead. It was really hard because financially it would have really helped me, but I turned it down in obedience. In a way I understand why He said no. There so much going on for me currently, but it was not easy😅... Not long after God opened another door for financial blessings! Thank God!
2 mini testimonies I have recently: I have been dedicating prayer to unsaved family members that God would soften their hearts and help them to see the gospel and to present opportunities for me to share Him more. I have been praying for this more seriously over the last year and I can say I can see the fruit and seeds are being planted God is working his mysterious and amazing ways. My sister has been expressing more interest and before she was never interested. And other family members have been showing and saying things that have been making me wonder what God is doing to their hearts right now! If you have unsaved family,eep praying and asking for opportunities to show His love! Another mini testimony is that we prayed about a house we put an offer on and asked God to close the door if it isn’t the right one and moments after leaving the realtors office she told us someone had put in an offer for the house that was higher than we wanted to pay. The realtor said this doesn’t normally happen so I knew it was God! Love you all
My family has never been business oriented and all we were taught was school then job but i felt led to go a different way in business if i was going to achieve the financial freedom i have been praying for to God and now He is giving me several ideas with guidance and the courage and wisdom to embark on that journey. Sooooo excited. He is the way, the truth and the light. AMEN
God is healing me and letting me know im worth it and deserve it all. Ever since i was a child through emotional, physical, and mental trauma i never felt enough and acted in ways that diminished who i was through negative self talk, being overally sexual, drinking, drugs all that and then my mom died babyyy i was a mess but God ohhh but God separated me to heal me to love on me to show me im worth it not because of accomplishments, my body, but because im His daughter and thats the only reason i need. Even now as im healing i had to deal with a choice of choosing me or choosing someone who i can see myself with but brought up everything God is healing me from and i chose me, i chose me and ive never chosen me before and I chose me. I may not understand it but im listening to Him more and im seeing the light come back in my eyes.
Here’s my testimony…At the age of sixteen, I was shot in the back of my neck in front of the apartment complex I lived in and was left there to die. God spared my life and I believe that it is apart of my destiny and purpose on this earth to share my testimony and advocate for those living with disabilities. It is my goal to bridge the gap between those that are able and those considered disabled. I want to debunk the myths and show that those who live with disabilities can and do live normal lives. Melody, thanks for encouraging your subscribers to share their testimony. May God continue to use you and your platform Sis. ❤
