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 KZbin channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, a soon-to-be first time mama through weekly new videos!

[@reneeramoleta6262]

Christian music literally changed my life, I’m not even exaggerating, specifically Maverick City Music.

[@warmfeelings]

ex- ‘.l hkkkk

[@ChristinaCoriolan]

Praying is also a great way to spend time with God, just having open and honest communication with him 💕

[@jmeiahburke5388]

Yes about EVERYTHING

[@prayer4life157]

Christian C yes I agree, I actually think talking to God and reading his word goes hand in hand.

[@Rhoades24eva]

I agree with you that praying is a great way to spend time with God. It's our opportunity to talk to Him as we would a friend

[@paulegaston1690]

I thought you forgot that one.

[@jazmynk1518]

Besides transformation churches Podcast, I highly recommend 1. Vous church 2. WHOA that’s good podcast 3. Faith and friends 4. As for me and my house 5. Coffee and bible time 6. Chosen girl

[@MelodyAlisa]

Def going to check some of this out! Ty for sharing Jazmyn!!

[@pre.Heaven.Community]

Jazmyn K thank you so much, I’ve recently been looking for podcasts to listen to when I study, thank youuuuu, I literally took a screenshot 😅

[@harleighstringer]

and jennie allen!!

[@robliz1820]

Thank you

[@beverelyb.k]

To be honest , ive been wanting a youtuber that could break down everything thats faith related & Melody stays delivering & answering the questions i have 😭❤❤

[@MelodyAlisa]

Wow thank you so much!! God is good. Keep the questions coming :)

[@pre.Heaven.Community]

Another way to spend more time with God is through prayer, simply talking with God not just talking to Him because He speaks back to us too🙏🏾

[@MelodyAlisa]

Yes!!

[@tama3442]

Can you explain this more? I would love to know more.

[@pre.Heaven.Community]

@@tama3442 sure, I was just saying that we often pray for 2 minutes and leave , we don’t take the time to listen to God’s answer to our prayer, He speaks too.

[@tama3442]

@@pre.Heaven.Community how I listen to his response

[@pre.Heaven.Community]

@@tama3442 there’s no right answer to this but when God answers you’ll know . I’ll also add that He may not answer you at the exact moment you pray, He’ll answer later, this is why it’s important to recognize the voice of God and be able to know when He’s answering your prayer(s)

[@Emilyychannel]

Some notes I’ve been blessed with, thank you!🙌🏽✝️😋✨ 1. God’s Word 2. Worship Music 3. Podcasts 4.Prioritizing time with Jesus 5.Join a community group

[@bubbletea3613]

Could you recommend Podcast and music?

[@maricruzlopezrdh]

I’m grateful for your life, Melody. I give thanks to God that He lead me to your videos. It’s truly an encouragement especially when you post every Tuesday’s. I can see Jesus in you and it makes me happy that we’re all following Him.❤️ God bless you abundantly.🌸

[@MelodyAlisa]

This is the sweetest comment ever. Thank you so much Maricruz ♥️♥️

[@rosejohnson5974]

Its good to have communion with the Lord. Its the best thing.

[@nolundibatyi2245]

I most definitely enjoy worship music in the morning's, watching sermons in the day and sitting in silence in the evening's speaking to God... Time with Him can be easily weaved into our lives and finding your groove with God, is your journey with Him🙏🏽

[@drescorpio1114]

I started by praying and worship and meditation on God's Word, but just recently I just fallen madly in love with his word, and always anxious to spend time hearing from him.

[@leslearobertson6222]

I love laying on the couch and reading or watching videos, or if I'm in my car- listening to videos. I truly enjoy that time learning about God and myself.

[@naangokainge]

1. Why does youtube only notify me minutes later? 😭 2. I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR CONTENT APPEARS AT THE RIGHT TIME 😢❤! These days I've been struggling to spend time with Him or even make time which sounds so bad. I'm caught up in school and household chores (I'm taking care of my dad and brothers) and when I'm off I tend to answering text messages and find myself back in school work again 💔. Although, I do read my bible every evening and have a prayer session yet I feel like I need to spend time with God even more 💛. So this is so so helpful ❤. Thank you Ms Melody ❤!!!

[@jmeiahburke5388]

You're living my life 😦 lol but we're going to grow closer to Him. I know it. Don't give up ❤️

[@MelodyAlisa]

You’re so welcome sis!! ♥️♥️

[@naangokainge]

@@jmeiahburke5388 🥺❤!

[@tareshacox]

Don't beat yourself up about it God know you want to spend more time with him! That is why you seen sister Melody's video. what God revealed to me is that I can trust him to take care of my family and everything else if I cut my ringer off and make time for him. like he has always done before technology was created.

[@SSandtheRVCats]

Naango you can spend time with God at any time. Maybe set an alarm on the hour and just do a quick check in to say hello to God and thank Him for something.

“Saved Not Soft”. A great podcast, would totally recommend❤❤

[@ninalove73198]

Loving your videos, Melody!! Lately, prayer walks have been helping me feel super connected with God! I also go on ’Worship Walks’ as I like to call them. I basically put on my headphones, play worship music and sing (pretty loudly lol) as if I was singing straight to God! It's been so good for me!☺️💗

[@iamallsmiles247]

Yesssssss

[@NasEllis]

The only one out of these that I don't do much is watching podcasts but I should definitely start, thanks Melody 💖

[@dorothymwangi5074]

Praying is the basic recipe for communing with God but most powerful

Chandler Moore. MAVERICK CITY MUSIC!!! Omg sit sure brings helps you enter in with the Lord.

[@QueenDee31]

That man’s voice is anointed by the Almighty God.

[@AudreyMaets]

[@johnealovesjesus5352]

Yess!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU.

[@stephc23]

[@user-ww5yp2dv9l]

Listening to sermons is a good idea even if we cannot wacht sermons everyday, or if you some days you dont want to hear a long sermon you can hear a short one like 5 or 8 minutes ❤ and is so good for spiritual life❤

[@WalkingInDivinePurpose]

Hi Melody, loving this.. oh yes he speaks to us through the Bible, listing to worship music and meditate, pray.. Can you do a video on explaining Fasting. . How to fast.. what to do while on fasting etc. Thank you for this video.

[@tabithadoughty5101]

I started my connection with God doing the Daniel fast and Melody videos where the first ones I found and I haven't stopped listening to her since... My next up was Christian music I found a song called Lord I'm ready now by plumb and when I heard that I just broke down and cried it's such a beautiful song. Then I moved onto going to church every weekend daily devotions and prayer and bible studies all these things just like she said have turned my life around.

[@pamelahenderson7573]

The urban Alternative with Dr Tony Evans is a great podcast

[@diannerosecalutan7629]

[@jordanallen1765]

I like the idea of listening to podcasts, that seems really fun and easy while doing things like walking to class, or studying. Something i've been doing recently is watching sermons by Prophet Lovy and Apostle Joshua, there videos are so helpful and I feel like I have gotten a lot closer to God. Also, your videos have helped me so much, i've been searching for a youtuber that has clear points and really list things out. Not to mention, you really take the time to just explain the topics you are talking about, and you have been a huge help for me. Especially since I am just starting in college and learning how to give God top priority in my life while also being in college.

[@tifwit1]

I enjoy walking with God in nature or singing to him with my guitar or at a people it's like a conversation especial is it is a song I writing on the spot. I also like to pray and share words of encouragement or what I am learning with other believers

[@SSandtheRVCats]

I love this. I'm hoping to learn to play guitar. I recently saw a video or read an article about singing God's Word. I would love to do that.

[@tifwit1]

@@SSandtheRVCats You totally should maybe even sing a verse back to God that He shows you is for you :)

[@transacteleurope4956]

Thank you sister, think you forgot the main course. Praying. When praying you are litterally reaching to Him and talking to Him. And if quiet, straight and sincere you may get His answer. This is a great experience just like being touched when worshipping or reading Keep it up ! God bless you
