So last night a had a troubling dream. And this morning I was thinking what could this dream mean. Now the thought pops up to look the dream up. I said to myself, no. Because I had learned that looking up dreams isn’t good. Then I see your post! God is always on time! That was a comfort. I worry too much at times and overthink things. The dream was scary but I will wait on God to give me revelation of it. And sometimes dreams are just dreams..

Meloddddyyyyyy! Dang this was so on time for me. And thank you for being so vulnerable and open with your testimony, I had similar struggles and I hearing someone I respect so much go through them really made me take the veil off my own eyes.

That’s easier said than done. Tell this to someone who’s been waiting for 28+ years. I’ve done the work and love myself and everything. Don’t know what I’m waiting for

Wow! Great video with the season I am in!

One of my counterfeit comforts is coffee.

Loved the video today!! My #1 Counterfeit Comfort is FOOD and one that HE has freed me from is a relationship of 20+ years. I thought I wouldn't make it without this person in my life but once God freed me, I realized my life was at a standstill because of that relationship. God is GOOD!!

Some of the old comforts God delivered me from were wine, w**d, food & astrology just to name a few. I shared my testimony today on my podcast. It’s definitely been a journey ❤but God is able 🙌🏾

6th Habit: Learning to communicate and pray with GOD on a daily basis WHILE we are doing other things. Being intentional about prayer as we do other things and dedicated time to pray even if it's 5 minutes

How much does you tube pay you without the sponsors? I’m just curious.

Literally prayed for this earlier- ask God to remove my obsessions with finding my person, marriage etc. to allow me to be present in the moment and everything else will come

One of my counterfeit comforts that I know I'm chasing but didn't want to acknowledge yet is skin care. Thriving to get glowy smooth skin and thinking that this will give me some sort of fulfilment 🥲

Right on time Melody , definitely my comfort counterfeits - I am currently getting over marriage obsession, food, and lust of the eyes for sure and usually I will binge movies/socials . I’m glad you made this video so now I can take these before God 🙌🏽

Mines was new age spirituality, music, astrology, friends, relationships, food and smoking!

Oooo sis this was good! I wish I would have surrender my desires of marriage after my horrific break in 2017. Instead I try to fill the void but dating and getting disappointed. 2022 I finally surrendered., start getting job opportunities in 2023. In Feb 2024 I've met this guy who has been watching me for years but was scared to talk to me. We're courting and I'm constantly praying that God stays involve in our courtship and it's in HIS WILL

This was very much needed...1 of my counterfeit comforts is social media

Food/particularly sweets. And I’m so over it.

The timing of this video is so appropriate. I just realized how much I turn to food for comfort and it is usually junk food.

Another great video Melody. My pastor said a phrase during his sermon yesterday - "guilt is evidence of God's pursuit of you" - and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I too struggle with the counterfeit comfort of food and though I am not horribly out of shape I know I am not taking care of my body in the way God would have it. My husband and I also have a young daughter and I want to make sure she doesn't fall into the same trap as us. Thanks for your transparency and vulnerability and well-studied perspective on the word.

Food or shopping

My comforts are chocolate and shopping. 🍫🛍️ 😢. I never thought of these things as counterfeit comforts because I do however pray, read and study my Bible daily. I looked at them as things that I like. Thank you for this message ❤

Lust is my comfort that I struggle with for a long time. Pray for me please.

Yes! Please do a video about convictions!

I am grateful that God has continuously showed up for me. He has allowed me to have a roof over my head, be in my right mind, have family that love and care about me, I have clothes and shoes, I have food to eat, and I have a car. God is faithful even when life’s circumstances try to make you feel like He isn’t.

God also delivered me from smoking when I came to Christ. I had been smoking all day everyday for around 4/5 years and it too had become part of my identity - where I would go, who I would hang out with, where I would holiday, the men I would date (would only date Rasta man). Thank God be delivered me, I prayed to him father I can’t do this on my own after trying and failing many times to give up. God delivered me and took away every craving overnight. He literally took the craving away. I haven’t smoked now for three years and my memory has come back, my circle has changed and now I can see how truly wicked it is. Smoking opens the door for demons to come in it’s a dangerous drug and if anyone is struggling with this ask the Lord he will deliver you. Believe my sisters he did it for me he can certainly do it for you too. Xxx❤

Id say mine are the same sis😂 My obsession with my marriage Food🗣️ Social media

My biggest counterfeit comfort was lust of the eyes/flesh. I’ve recently been set free. 🙏🏾

Mine is sweets 🤦🏾‍♀️ whenever I’m stressed or need comfort, I turn to cakes, cookies, candy 🤦🏾‍♀️

Food and coffee 😢

I think the biggest one I'm going to struggle with for a while might be that I like physical comfort ( for someone to hug me or hold my hand)...sometimes I just want a hug from GOD, a physical hug😪

One of my counterfeit comforts is music. I love listening to music about heartbreak when I'm sad or depressed because I feel like it somewhat conveys my feelings. I listen to it instead of praying or meditating on the word. I know I need to do better, but I feel like it expresses a part of me that I can't get anywhere else.

Very good topic that resonates with me.😊

My obsession with marriage, food, social media, productivity, crossing milestones, making money. This will turn into a testimony.

Please please do a video about convictions. 🙏🏽❤

Yea hallelujah, I smoked myself for 30 years which sounds insane but it’s so true and it was only the Glory of God that saved me. Now I look back and was like what was I doing. I thank God He delivered me

Right on time sis!! 🙏🏽❤️

This was right on time! God has revealed to me my shopping habits and emotional eating was my counterfeit comfort 🥹🩷

Your videos are always on time !

Good afternoon Melody. Thank you so much for sharing your story and testimony. I feel my comfort is shopping whether it’s clothes, shoes, household items, and going out to eat. I love trying new restaurants. I use to be a shopaholic and would spend my paycheck on shopping and dining out. I am no longer a shopaholic however I still like to try new restaurants. It makes me happy to go to fine dining and nice restaurants just to enjoy the ambience. I must admit sometimes depending on where I go it can make me sad because I find myself desiring to have the extravagance of it all.

My counterfeit comfort is food. I’ve struggled with cravings and realize that I’ve run to sweets whenever I’m stressed, tired, and/or overwhelmed. I’ve recognized that I never feel fulfilled after eating an exorbitant amount of food I’m craving. It only makes me sick and feel guilty for engaging in gluttony. This is what I’ve been praying for deliverance from. Thank you for sharing your testimony.❤

Mine was alcohol but now I get sick everytime I drink. That says something

Potatoes Chips 😢

I have been seeing so many videos about counterfeits. It's crazy 😳

Yes ma’am we are going to food (even though you would not know it looking at me.)

Sweetss 😮‍💨

it seems like you’re always right on time for me. always.

My biggest counterfeit comfort right now is my obsession with marriage 😂😂😂😂

im not too sure what a counterfeit comfort is, but i do struggle a lot with gossip, lying, and laziness

hey, sis! let's chat. today's question: it's testimony time. what is a counterfeit comfort that the Lord is (or has) freed you from? for me: like i shared today, my unhealthy obsession with relationships, smoking, "lust of the eyes", and new age practices -- JUSTTT to name a few. our God is so good

Right on time. Thank You Lord 😊and thank you, Melody, for allowing the Lord to use you to bless so many of us. Thank you sis❤ please keep the videos and messages coming. God bless you❤❤❤

I ran immediately when I saw your notification😅❤❤❤❤❤
