Yes. Prayer. Prayer changes things. The more I pray the more God start to reveal things to me. Also, gospel music is encouraging and helps spiritually. The bible app is amazing/Journaling is helpful.

[@duskofoolacile454]

Treasuremylove Amen

[@lophixarts]

Treasuremylove jesus prayed too all night, he was tempted by the whole world and by Satan but he has NEVER sinned. His prayers strengthened the relationship with the father .

[@KaiE_37]

I thought I was the only one who needed an r and b style type of worship music haha

[@CharleneNicole67]

Kai E I'm just going to shameless plug myself here, I make Christian rnb music! If you type "Charlene Nash" on any music outlet, or just online, you can find my music there. God bless

[@muthoniendeheli]

watching all your music now and I love it.Shameless pays:)

[@angelcake318lps]

Kai E You should check out Montell Fish! He has a pretty chill but RnB sound

[@HollyWoodStar2000]

Yes same here!!

[@jami1730]

My top 3 would be: #1. PRAYER/PRAISE #2. READING MY BIBLE (MUST) #3. WALKING IN LOVE I need more than Gospel/Christian music & daily devotionals lol. Reading the Bible is extremely transforming! That & talking to Him throughout my day/night.

[@copezjesus9528]

I need help I'm just a kid i need a strong relationship with God please pray for me Because when the trumpet blows I do not want to be left

[@arjeeseravat364]

Talk to Him. 24/7

[@ranip7644]

My relationship with God is so weak. It makes me feel terrible.

[@mariako8480]

you’re not alone!!let’s try to pursue God even more and have a stronger relationship with Him!

[@mariako8480]

this should motivate you to try harder!❤️✝️

[@comeddiesbller6326]

Do not give up, keep following GOD pray for boldness and his protection and have faith he will deliver in your life.

[@ranip7644]

@@comeddiesbller6326 Oh gosh I forgot I made this comment. Update: Well 10 months ago I was in a very dark place. My boyfriend (who I still live with) dumped me after making me think he was gonna marry me, and I was completely crushed and angry with God. But because of that I felt I had nowhere to turn but to God. I began studying his word night and day, reading and meditating on it, and I started to realize that I was prioritizing my relationship over everything else, and over God. He revealed to me that who I needed the most was him and not man, and not to idolize anyone. When I began to see myself the way Christ sees me, and put him before everything else, my self esteem grew, my sense of purpose in life grew, and my relationship with Christ grew, and I'm in such a better place. It was really hard going through the breakup but I wouldn't be where I am now if it didn't happen.

[@comeddiesbller6326]

@@ranip7644 I am going through blasphemous thoughts and OCD and sometimes lustful thoughts even though I do not have any sexual desires GOD has been revealing to me that I need to build a stronger relationship with him and I need to build up my faith and the only person that can free me from this is Jesus Christ sometimes I tell him to give me signs like the rapture dream but I watched a video telling me that GOD could easily give me that sign but he doesn't he wants to test my faith I think that is what the video said I cant remember to much the devil was trying to make me surrender my life to him and make me turn my back on GOD,Jesus and my family but I learned today that the devil cannot see the future only the past and present and he is trying to destroy my life now because he knows I am the child of GOD I also know when he reminds me of my past I remind him of his future.

[@cynthiaadams5930]

I understand that you watch the tv preachers but make sure they are reading the word of God and not adding to the word of God!

[@itsurgirlcharlene]

Cynthia Adams I agree

[@frankkowalski6905]

I love to listen to those videos i feel that I’m closer to God when i am listening to these videos.

[@Lexi_NurturelyGrown]

I read the book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," back in high school & it was so good and helpful!! Great tips Leah! May God Bless you sis as you grow in your walk with the Lord🤗💕

[@PepperJames1]

Mali Music & Travis Greene are the best! 💜 Just got my journal also! 2017 here comes Spiritual Growth! God is Magnificent!

[@PepperJames1]

[@blkcatrebel2968]

[@tobio.5497]

God is using you to do great things. I pray that the Lord continues to renew your strength and motivate you to continue recording videos as you seek Him more.

[@thomashaddix1029]

Anybody reading this have a blessed day 🥰 God loves you~~~ (not trying to force my beliefs on anybody else, I am just trying to be nice!:) never say the Lords name in vain and spread his word 😊

[@patriciavaughn3650]

May God continue to bless your faithfulness and boldness in sharing the Gospel! We met at Sage Salon in IL; and to see how much you've grown in God's grace and are inspiring others is heartwarming. To God be the glory forever!

[@Imjuscariii]

I think over these months in quarantine my faith is being tested...I’ve been so unmotivated and I think I’m finally ready to get better. I felt so lazy...at some points even questioning my faith..but I have remained focused bc the devil works hard but my lord works harder! I know he is my Shepard!❤️✝️

[@kaidinlambert4429]

Thank you so much! I feel like I've grown apart from God over time. I am hoping these tips will help me to find God again. God bless you.

[@NoName-kc4jn]

How can I become closer to god even when I don’t belong to any specific religion? I don’t believe in the religions we have today, but I do believe in god.

[@nanakwakudadeyakrofi2977]

You've really simplified the concept of Christianity for me🤔 Thanks a lot. God bless you 👏👏👏

[@derickwhitson2684]

1. Listen to sermons and 2. Listening to uplifting music can be in the form of worship music gospel music inspirational Christian music Mali music and Travis Greene Mary Mary Fred Hammond 3. Getting into a local church Very important for your walk to get involved and help other people in the community Making it a daily effort to communicate with Him and just get that word inside of you Prayer, praying is helpful is one of the best avenues to strengthen your relationship 7. Read the Bible nothing is going to supplement reading the Bible You can ask Holy Spirit to guide you to show you to help you understand how to unpack the scriptures and how to make it relevant to your life and this time Helps you by taking away a lot of the guessing game in Christianity You can meditate on a sentence make sure you get the meaning of it

[@Made2excelBlogspot2014]

I had such a rough year and I honestly lost all my relationship with god and Jesus except in prayer and even when I pray I don’t feel close to god I don’t know what to do because I have no desire to worship or read my bible any tips?

[@anitajackson9209]

Thanks for this video. I will look for the devotional. I agree with you. awesome job. May God continue to bless your life.

[@melissas6899]

Thank you for these tips. I have been desiring a stronger relationship with God and these tips give a good start.

[@jazmenhenderson5681]

I love John Gray! What a great Pastor.

[@joanneveloz776]

Love your videos so much! You have such practical tips! Might I suggest that you research Lakewood church and Joel Osteen in depth? There are some definite red flags in things he has said, such as his denial of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in several videos. Thanks for posting such great content!

[@jennashaff2010]

Joanne Veloz - I agree about Joel O.. in fact when John Gray came to my church as a guest speaker I did not go due to hearing he was from Lakewood. I was do foolish! John Gray does not preach the prosperity messages like Joel does. Like she said, he's super relatable!

[@mmerichukwuamadi3999]

Theis is really nice

[@cautiousWTF]

Iam in a right track all that u have mentioned Iam doing it 🙏🏾

[@yeeunnn_]

Think these will help! Thanks 😊

[@AshleysJoys]

Your such an inspiration!! I would also suggest, if you can't afford the bible try getting it from a thrift store , where I live my friend got one from a Christian thrift store for $2 😊 good find , hope this helps !

[@kat7939]

Ashley Joys You can get the Holy Bible (kjv) from a dollar store...walmart!

[@wangikabingaakadrkay1145]

[@a.d4874]

Prosperity preachers are like false teachers they barely reference the Bible and that’s the word of God and they preach that if you go to God you’ll become a millionaire or things like that a big sign that you’re listening to prosperity preachers is they’re talk about what people would rather talk about never really about God’s wrath or changing your lifestyle

[@dulceguerrero9277]

Olsteen=a wolf in sheep's clothing.

[@kat7939]

Jen Barrett Exactly, this girl is lukewarm...smh!!

[@conniepayne931]

Leah, please be careful of who you are sending your followers to. John Gray is a wolf and so is Osteen. We need to ask for discernment before we send followers to music, pastors, etc. The Bible talks of these people and talks on those who teach. Deuteronomy 18 Luke 6:26 speaking well of those who are false prophets/teachers. Etc

[@lillianwoods2290]

Just FYI if y’all don’t know do NOT listen to Joe Olstene! He is a false teacher
