10 Ways to Measure Whether You're Growing Spiritually...OR NOT!

[@thebeatagp]

Hey beat family! So sorry I didn’t get the video out yesterday as normally scheduled. However, my phenomenal video editor gave birth to his first child and so I had to edit this video myself like old-school times. Ha. At any rate, do me a favor and share which one of these 10 you struggle with the most in the comments below. Love y’all!

[@itsjunior7]

Can you please pray for me I don’t think I done well in my maths exam I really hope I get good marks and that I do well in the rest of my exams

[@trapjuiceproductions8084]

@Stevie G Yeah I'm 17 too so we're about the same age group, the problem today is that there are many professed "Christians" in our day. I believe that in these last days that God is going to even use CHILDREN to preach, Amen. The day of Pentecost will be repeated!

[@superjake01251]

I’m 16. Unfortunately it seems all too common for people in our day and age to “brush off” kids becoming more serious in relation to Christ. “They can do it when they get older,” they say, or “enjoy being kids,” they say. This thinking is extremely destructive to the spiritual life of the child, and raising that child to live in Christ makes it much easier for him to do so later in life, Lord willing. As stated in 1 Timothy 4:12, its never too young to start. Also consider Matthew 19:13-15. How relative that story is!

[@kemarrobinson1912]

@Stevie G yes love that scripture

[@alisonwright3140]

I have to admit, I am still growing in many of these areas. I find the more I allow the spirit to convict me, the more I learn. Baby steps for a baby christian. Great video ❤️

I've become calmer. I pray to God to help me focus on him. I've been doing that. I've grown in many of these. I still have work to do. But I'm still a work in progress!! 😃

[@quintonmccoy2128]

It's sad how much I strayed away, I've been sad every time I stop really seeking God like I used to. I get depressed but when I'm with God I get happy but when I look at something else then I get more into that then I start falling away again. I just hope this doesn't happen again because I want to have a deep relationship with the lord he keeps doing so many things in my life to get me back on track and I finally realized how I'm nothing without the lord I'll always be depressed if I'm not with him. From now on I'll be seeking God and God only.

[@irynnmulindwa6419]

Then don't let it happen again. Am so sorry that happens to you but declare in the name of the Lord that the last time it happened is indeed the last time it did. Read the Bible. A loooot. Because that way, you are communicating with God. So it'll be kinda hard for you to fall out again.

[@lilithalexandraromano8466]

That happend to me but at some point when you hold on to God and stay with him. And go back to God every time is a good thing

[@lilithalexandraromano8466]

[@olakolade6656]

i’m 15 years old and i’m trying to grow spiritually. I’ve always believed in God since I was 7 but this year 2021 is the first year i’ve started trying to be living in a way of a christian. A thought popped in my mind earlier this year“ I want to learn more about God and create time to get to know him” . so now I can say i’ve moved from being a just believing christian, that never did anything else apart believe, to, praying every day , reading my bible and trying to build my faith . God bless you all!

[@lornaswasey4687]

We must consistently pray,never give up!

[@nithanthkarthik5747]

Your preaching so genuine this is how it suppose to preach gospel rather than fake pastors who always mislead god's people with their "Prosperity gospel tactics"..and these fake pastors nowadays everywhere. I don't know later on with intention of making money you going to change or not but right now you are preaching genuine biblical truth.

[@chitchat1]

One thing that is true, everything that i pray for Hod has blessed me with. I have being trying so long to have a good relationship with my family. I started praying and trusting God and he has always delivered me. The key to praying is Faith. Trusting in God. Trusting for things that the eye can't see and God shall surely deliver you

My 16 year old daughter was taken to the emergency room because of what her classmate had done to her. She cannot stand nor walk when I went to their school upon receiveng call from her adviser. I was very worried after I saw my daughter's condition but I can't help but think of the one who did that to her because he might not come to school anymore and his future might be ruined because of that unintentional incident. That's when I came to know that my love for my neighbor was becoming better and I thank God for that. Usually before I'm always thinking of myself and the hurts I had received and I always seek justice. May we all grow in love and share love!!!

Be a light for them & show them love. Just watch out for the negative influences, I go through the same things myself

[@CeCeW51]

Great question! We all face periods of ups & downs in our Christian life. It's upsetting to think that, but it happens to all of us at one point or another. Your own lifestyle can &will speak for itself. They will notice your spiritual growth, & at some point, hopefully, they will follow suit. Pray for them. Ask the Lord to convict them, & pray they draw close to Him.

[@charlesjordan9591]

Sean you need to remember you are a child of the almighty God.......Which means God is with you! Let the Holy Spirit guide you. Do not be afraid to share the "Good News." Revelations 3:17 16 Says, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. This means these lukewarm Christians need to know your message of Christ! They need to be on "fire" for the Lord!!! Share the Word!!

[@graceofgodukwa3872]

Yes you most definitely can... The Bible tells us whoare saved to stand up for the salvation of others... Represent Christ well, you are His ambassador amongst your lukewarm friends and the passion you have for Christ and the things of God will speak even burning until you have the boldness to tell them lovingly of course how Christ would have done something differently than they did and you are preaching already dearest 😍

[@flakamulata]

I agree with the other comments. Just wanted to add that you can be friends with anyone you want. We shouldnt judge others for believing anything other than what we believe-in addition to this, we should love them all regardless 😊. Lets keep the peace
