a hard truth Christians need to hear...

[@strangeroamer3219]

As a Christian, I always thought that just going to church, and praying every once in a while was enough. I came home from work one day, and having nothing to do, I wandered around my room and looked at the books on my shelf. I saw the Bible and thought to myself why I have never taken the time to read it. I made a commitment to start reading the Bible from the beginning and so far, it has been like taking the journey of a lifetime. I feel like God speaks to me when I read it. He tells me about his chosen people, he tells me how to be a better person, and he gives me advice on life in the books like in Proverbs. I am now reading the book of Isaiah and have learned so much. I can't wait to read all of it. I can't believe there are so many christians out there that don't read the Bible. I mean, what better way to know God that to read his word. Anyways, I am so happy to hear that there are people out there who also share in the gift that God gives to us from reading his word. Have a blessed day.

[@peterwanjugu4268]

I also love the book of Proverbs

[@yaelrar.4460]

Let me share my motivation: When you are not in the Word you become Spiritually dry. Being "dry" is a bad place to be because you become open for demonic attack. In the Scripture we learn demons dwell in dry places! When I stay in the Word and prayer, I hear the Holy Spirit speak to me, I feel calmer, I am more patient. Things seem to go well and there is less drama in my life. So what lures me away from being in my " War Room" of prayer, praise and studying? I'll be honest. Tv and my phone. Its such an addiction!😕 I pick up my phone and before you know it, 2 hours are gone. And my day is off kilter. But this summer, I'm going to be fasting technology. I want God more than I want entertainment. Anyone with me??💁‍♀️

[@TheGirlSavedByGrace]

EDIT: THANK YOU! I want to give you all a quick thanks for your likes and prayers, and it looked like they worked! I can post them freely after communicating with my teacher and showing her a video on Donald Trump defending and addressing this subject. I'm going to be posting a video this Thursday on my channel explaining this and other situations in fuller depth. Your support will really help out! I just got devastating news. I posted "Jesus loves y'all" and an explanation of my faith. However, it soon got deleted and I got an email from my teacher stating that we shouldn't be sharing our faith publically and openly. However, this was my goal! This was my goal to share my faith unashamed of what others might think because Jesus is coming soon and the end times are near. This just comes to prove Matthew 5:11, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." Please pray for this generation of Christians, we will not go silent.

We tend to make God out to be a “feeling” so to speak. We don’t feel close to Him or when we read sometimes, etc.. our human nature goes against reading and praying. Sometimes are easier than others. But we have to fight our sinful human ways every day. It’s hard, but as you continue to flood your mind with His word, you have more of a desire to dig deeper into the word. The Bible comes to life. Great video! A lot of people struggle with this! ❤️

Hey, you are so not alone! I just commented about this!

[@emiscozycottagelife]

It’s totally normal to not have motivation for getting into His Word or praying. I feel like we all struggle with this especially when there are so many distractions in life. Here are things that help me when I don’t feel motivated to read the Bible or pray: ➡️ Starting in Psalms! If you have no words to pray start praying the Psalms out loud and let the words really soak in. ➡️ Ask people if you can pray for them and write a list of prayers for others to pray during prayer time. ➡️ If you don’t know where to read in the Bible ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what God wants you to read. ➡️ Pray and ask God to give you a thirst for His Word and a thirst to know Him better. ➡️ Write a list of the blessings God has given you and what you are grateful for. Remind yourself that these are times He has shown up in your life and it would be awesome to return the favor by spending quality time with Him! ☺️ Hope this list helps someone! These are things I do when I am feeling unmotivated to spend time with God!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

miks USA hi friend, God is drawing you near - continue to seek after Him! Praying for you

[@mikerutkowski7265]

miks USA What the majority of people in this evil world fail to understand is that doctors, nurses and politicians are simply clueless about this Coronavirus nonsense and even most of your local preachers are misguided souls who are leading you astray. There is only one thing and one thing alone that will cause you to catch this virus and it is not sneezing, it is not close contact and wearing a face mask will definitely not protect you. Plus if you feel that you need to wear a face mask or to social distance then you will look like the fool that you most certainly are since it will clearly reveal that you are a sinner who does not even know God. All of these people are simply proving that they are ignorant about God and His commands since it is sin and sin alone that will cause you to be afflicted with this virus or any other disease, tragedy or disability. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:1-11‬ ‭NKJV‬ Because I put my complete faith and trust in God and not in doctors or this evil world, Jesus taught me how to overcome sin which means that I also overcame sickness. I no longer carry health care or insurance since I know without a doubt that I can never get sick ever again. I now simply laugh at the hysteria that has been caused by this Coronavirus and if it could be arranged, I would gladly sit in a room filled with people with the Coronavirus to prove what I am relating. I would gladly do this to awaken misguided believers to God’s Word and Truth. It would not bother me nor scare me in the least and I definitely would not wear a mask. For I am someone who has been sanctified in God’s truth so allow me to explain something that God related to us in the Old Testament. Psalm 107:17. “Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.” Now what this means. First transgressions, it means an act that goes against a rule, a law or a code of conduct. Next iniquity, it means a wicked act or thing, sin. Finally, affliction, it means something that causes persistent pain or suffering. Translated it is saying that you are a fool if you do not follow God’s laws and commands and you go and sin because you will then have pain, suffering and sickness. So this means that if you are someone who can get sick or someone who is currently suffering then you are a sinner who is not following God and you are simply following the devil lies. ‬ Now allow me to give you some scriptures from the New Testament with some things that Jesus related to us. “Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.” He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ” Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’?” But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5:8-14‬ ‭NKJV Jesus said SIN NO MORE to the sick man that He healed. So if Jesus instructed the man to sin no more this then means that it is possible for a Christian to get to a place where he could not sin anymore? Next, Jesus and the apostles could heal every sick person who came to them, so why was this so? It was because there is no sickness with God, there never was and there never will be since sickness comes from sin and the devil. This means that not only was Jesus sinless but the apostles also reached a place where they were stopped sinning also. And please do not try and reason that Paul was someone who got sick as most misguided souls like to believe. If Jesus, Peter, Paul or any of the apostles could cast the sickness and demons out of everyone who came to them, what could possibly make anyone think that they themselves could ever get sick? Could they not just remove the sickness from themselves as they did with everyone else? Now let’s take sickness even a step further and look at the Paralytic man’s story as related to us in Mark 2. “But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘ Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” -He said to the paralytic, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭2:8-11‬ ‭NKJV‬ Jesus said, “Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘ Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? This scripture is relating to us that Jesus forgave the man’s sins and because He did, the man could now walk. So Jesus is clearly stating that it was the man’s sins that crippled him. So once again you have scripture clearly telling you that if you are someone who can get sick then it is because you are sinning by doing wicked things and you are not following God or His commands. So all of this proves that a Christian can get to a place where he does not sin anymore and if you are someone who can get sick then you are definitely no where near that place. Most believers fail to understand that Jesus restored everything that we had lost in the Garden of Eden. The reason that believers are not experiencing this blessing in their life is because they do not understand that it is possible to overcome sin or they simply do not believe it! “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:6-8‬ ‭NKJV‬ ‬So in closing, these scriptures are relating to us that the person who overcomes sin will inherit all things but anyone who continues to live in sin will only take part in the lake of fire. So if you do not overcome sin then you will never experience a sick free life in this evil fallen world nor might you be spending your eternity in heaven as you so believe.

If you feel like your prayers aren’t being heard because of your sin. I really encourage you to take a look a Jesus. Remember what he’s done for you. He took your sins to the crossed and died for you!!! And not only did he die for you he risen up from the grave and buried your sin so you will free from sin and the guilt of it. In Jesus we have a new life and freedom from sin! That’s the beauty of Jesus and the gospel!! If you haven’t already I encourage you to go to him and repent for your sins! He welcomes you with open arms. He loves you! He wants you! That’s the good news!! God wants you have an relationship with him. He sent his only son to bear our judgement for us to have one!! Once you come to know Jesus he will transform your heart. You will want to seek him more and more and be in his word everyday. I encourage you to just start at reading the book of John. And if you have the Bible app do the daily devotional!! Peace to you! And God bless!

I've felt no motivation to do these things and I prayed yesterday for God to show me a sign for more motivation. A sign to show me it does take discipline and my relationship with Him won't just grow magically. And today, this video showed up on my recommended. It's crazy how our God works. I'm motivated to continue my relationship with Jesus Christ. Again, thank you sooo much!!!

He loves you with an everlasting love. Yes, I hear you. I've not been feeling like doing these things either. But recently I've been talking to one my friends about Jesus, even invited her to zoom church and these conversations have inspired me to talk to God more throughout my day and learn about who He is so I can share Him with my friends who really need Him just like you and I do :) He loves me and you so much that He sent Jesus to be our Savior and Friend :) Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts honestly... I've been having similar struggles lately ... God is definitely at work... which reminds me of the verse "You are good and you are doing good..."

God will find you wherever you are. Six months ago I was in a mental health facility, torn between homes. Now, I am living with loving relatives, building my relationship with the lord, singing in church. All you have to do is PRAY. ASK. HE KNOWS YOUR NAME.

I found that the more reluctant I am to pray, join the prayer meeting or read my bible, the more I actually need it. And every single time I get over myself and do it... I come out greatly blessed. I have not once regretted to have spent time with the Lord.

I’ve grown up on the church, but I have never really read my Bible other than at church. I didn’t even really have a relationship with him. Your videos have really made me realize the importance of reading your bible and growing in your relationship with God.

[@yeshuathewaythetruthandlif4593]

Same I was born in a Christian family but was never truly devoted because I was ashamed or scared I was small but thankfully with time I matured that gods words truly enter me

[@christinescover8093]

This is my first time watching your video.I feel like we are connected and the words at the very beginning "You are so welcome here and the Lord love you" just made me cried and relaxed. Feeling so much better after your advice. Also, I appreciated you so much for putting chill music in the background to make this like a storytelling.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

:)))))) welcome to Coffee and Bible Time! Praying for you!

[@sophiebenjamin4427]

as a mentally ill person i know completely how difficult bible studying and prayer can be. i continued to struggle but i struggle alongside God. I’ve found that a lot of the other ways people bible study and pray don’t really work for me and that’s okay. The way I bible study and pray changes almost every single day. Some days it’s the first thing I do when I wake up and others I get breakfast and do my skincare before I can even think about it. Some days I sit down to pray at night and fall STRAIGHT asleep so I end up praying before I shower or sometimes as I shower. At my worst I’m stuck and just don’t know where to begin so I say “God, I’m really struggling right now, please help me motivate myself, know that I am thinking of You and my life if Yours” and just have to leave it at that. God is FLEXIBLE. Go at your own pace on your own time.

My motivation: he makes me happy, literally. I'm very easy to get depressed and a sense of unhappiness. This quarantine has given me the opportunity to praise the Lord; at first, I feared he would come and not be ready and second because I was so stressed. Which makes me unhappy and depressed, therefore, I knew I needed him more than ever. So, I started praying and now Its becoming a need. Yes its hard at times but then I remind myself when I don't pray, I don't feel happy. Pray until the holy spirit touches and fills you up with strength and happiness. God bless.

[@jadecummings8093]

Ashley, you're so beautiful today and a wonderful friend to all of us. God bless you! ☺🙏

[@jadenbarrett9147]

Something I learned in one of my old churches is "Desire, devotion, delight". The fact that you have the desire to spend more time with God, in prayer and the Word IS A GREAT THING!! So praise God for that desire! Then devote yourself and pray simple prayers asking God to help your faithfulness and devotion to Him, to help you read His word and when you continue to do that, it will turn into delight! You can also pray for that delight! Never be ashamed to ask God for things like that. He's not disappointed but delighted that you want to spend more time with Him! Go and be encouraged! God bless!! Also what I mean by "simple prayers" is just that they don't have to be extra long and fancy! Like sometimes I just say "God, I'm really struggling with prayer, please teach me how to pray and how to be devoted to you more and more. In Jesus name, Amen! ❤️🤗

@@jesusistheway8582 We don't know the specifics... please careful not to Add or Subtract anything the Bible says... Let's focus on the important things first and foremost... Like speaking to people around us about the good news that Jesus lived, died on the cross for our sins and rose again on the third day and is alive today so we can have hope of life forever with Him in heaven if we simply choose to rely on Him :) I understand it's difficult to handle disagreeing with others, but let's remember what the Word of God also says, "Love your neighbor as yourself" and that we don't know the time when Jesus will return, no one does.

I just want to share my story a little. My 2020 has been an extremely hard year. January came and I had a lot of issues arise with my taxes from my previous job and it took over a month of back and forth to get the issues corrected. February my dad had a bad heart attack. Luckily god was watching over him and he survived. March my boyfriend of 4 years (that I thought I was going to marry and be with forever) broke up with me and a week and a half later I had a lot of medical things going on. And I was really questioning God. I was in my darkest place I have ever been and the furthest away from God I have ever been. An old friend of mine from high school (that I haven’t talked to in years) got in touch and really helped me back to God and now I’m the closest I have ever been to him. Reading my bible more then I ever have. I choose to listen to worship music over popular music of today. I’m so grateful I’ve been through such a hard 2020 so far and I’m thankful it all happened before/during corona because it gave me the time I needed to grow with him.

[@courtneygrace8281]

Thank you for this video! It has really encouraged me to surrender to the Lord and just grow in Him this summer!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

[@jovitaavila7092]

Yes, we must deny/sacrifice our wants/needs for our Heavenly Father. Little by little those (earthly) desires will no longer be there and you will find yourself more in His word and His arm. He has done so much for us and He is worthy to be praised, glorified and prayed to. He loves you.

[@brigitteb5856]

I want to thank you for your videos, your channel, and everything you do. Ever since I’ve found you, I’ve bought a new bible and a few bible plans, and I’ve been shopping on the Daily Grace Co. more than I’ve been shopping for clothes or other needs. I’ve also started a bible study with my best friend and her family and every weekday @8:30 we’ve been taking time to spend time with God and grow in our faith together. This honestly couldn’t have happened without you and I thank you because my faith has never been this strong! Thank you, thank you, thank you, and may God bless you’re family.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

oh wow - PRAISE GOD!! It is because of HIS grace!

[@brittanym.2727]

I definitely struggle with this! I started out strong but lost my fire. One scripture that I came across was 1 Thessalonians 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.... Never put the fire out. My fire is low now and I feel like I have to start all over again to get back to that special place I once was in Him. But yes, motivation isn't enough. Because we will never be motivated. We just have to, like she said, put our self down. Put our flesh down and spend time with God. I also made a list of my goals and I'm reminded to look at them to keep me focused. And I like what she said, "Summer of Revival".. "Just Dive In"...

[@raquelsimoes7369]

I did watch until the end Ashley Despite all my flaws Jesus saved me last summer. And He started by introducing me ways to get into Scripture and to connect with it - the first thing He used was your channel and the Bible studies you do by video, I started taking notes myself, praying more sincerely and God started changing my life to the better. He changed someone who was afraid of change and that change was what gave me the new and bright perspective I needed of life, of friends, family, myself and specially of Himself. He Is A Present God and He cares about all that we do and that we worry about, He Is God of the big things and of the small things. Talk to Him and open your heart to His doing, and His Will. You'll see the difference

Lord I pray that you would give us all a fervent desire to humble ourselves and to seek your face in this current pandemic.

For a really long time i struggled with my relationship with God because i claimed to be a believer and yet i wasn’t demonstrating my love for God in my actions and my words. I felt so detached from God and it made me so saddened because i was missing the most important thing in my life and i almost felt scared to reach out to God again knowing that i wasn’t a “good enough” christian. Videos like these as well as endless prayer and bible study helps me re-grow that relationship with him that i love having so much and i finally feel like my complete self again. The love of God is one of the best things ever!

He is the living water and he will pour his spirit out in the dry and parched land. You don’t have because you don’t ask. Ask!! Ask for a thirst. Ask for the desire.
