[@gwendolynbrewertrainingand3709]

I am still in the midst of my NO season. I have been told no so many times it has literally begun to weaken my faith. Somehow God renews me each morning I wake up, but it’s hard and painful 😢

[@inebraide7374]

His grace is Sufficient

[@orikirizamoet2698]

Keep holding onto GOD and patiently wait on HIM.

[@liberty.p.muruoh9418]

Pst ike is a real 💎.... The more I listen to her sermon the more I want to hear her speak...... She's full of God's wisdom and revelation..... 🤍

[@lidyanaredeemed9848]

How Amazing these women are! You all have no idea how this ministry is speaking to me through a difficult time of my life! Always motivated, encouraged, and comforted with every podcast! Thank you you Lord!

[@adrianejackson3077]

One thing about the things of God is that his yes is totally different from the no's of this world. Trust God if you believe deep in your heart that it is for you then it is for you no matter what the world says. Be blessed on today. ❤️

[@brennanjohnk7508]

AMEN

[@adesuwaobaseki-bullen5068]

Amen 🙏🏾

[@adesuwaobaseki-bullen5068]

I know that feeling, but thank God you stood with king Jesus

[@nefateripsmalls]

I watched this in tears…my "knower" is bigger than the no's. I know what God called me to do. THANK YOU for sharing your testimony. It gave me strength to keep going!! You ladies are changing lives and I am one of them ❤

[@jlworld7506]

I Know this was for me and God has just intervened. God bless you all for constant encouragement and hope

[@casmirifeanyi7788]

Coming from a man, I would say this is one of the most encouraging video I have ever set my eyes on. It's so packed. I felt like the one Jamie was praying for. Please bring Jamie some more, I feel she has so much more to unpack.You just don't know the impact you make churning out those videos. I Bless the day during the pandemic in 2020 I got introduced to betterTogether by way of KZbin algorithm.

[@moma5232]

Yes the prayer was so powerful I had to pause it and pray my own thanks giving prayer.

[@jareya]

Yes the prayer is so beautiful ❤

[@adrianejackson3077]

Good Evening beautiful women in the Lord. God bless you all. ❤️

[@melanielovick-lugo3118]

Jamie, what a superb testimony. When you said what that man said to you, my first thought was that I would have said, "But ALL WOMEN need to feel pretty." I'm reminded of the lady in the Bible who went to Jesus for Him to deliver her daughter from a demon and He told her that it wasn't right for Him to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. The woman could have taken offense and asked, "Are you calling me a dog?" Instead, she was persistent and said, "Truth Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' tables." (Matthew 15:27) And btw, you are absolutely beautiful and I hope that you realize that. I am very happy for you that you did not give up and that because of your persistence, you were rewarded.

[@crystalclearvision4367]

Thank you for this word and the encouragement. This was right on time for ME! God woke me up at 1:45am just to hear this much needed word. I’m in this season of asking and crying to GOD “Why Me” but HE is say “Why not You”. Thank you all because GOD has given me a vision and I need to stand on the “knowing” and turn the volume down on the “No” even though they seem to be coming from the left and right. It’s a season of pruning and preparation for the doors that HE is going to open vs the door that I thought was the opening. Thank you ladies again for allowing GOD to use you and speak to my spirit in a time such as this. GOD’s timing is so perfect. Be blessed.🙏🏾

[@OluwadamisiAgosu]

Pruning produces a result so fascinating that we would no longer ask God why us. I pray He gives us the strength to go through each preparation and wisdom to go through it once so we don't fail and repeat the preparation for each season IJN. AMEN.

[@shirleyenejessicah6752]

This is confirmation for sure.. He is prunning and strengthening us as well,and we will look back and thank God we went through it🙏

[@moma5232]

Yes 🥰

[@bessiesimmonsmusic1368]

When that season hits, God opens the door. 🙏🏽

[@shae1005]

It surely comes to pass on due time!

[@dimplez1ish]

I feel so...seen 🥺 18 years I've carried this assignment in my heart. I never would've guessed the journey I would have to take. Reinvigorate that desire Lord, and may renewed passion for my assignment cut through all the hurt.

[@nikhefe16]

Ugh this prayer was beautiful! I really really needed hear this. Thank you for sharing, you truly are on par with your assignment😊

[@piatherese6689]

O my goodness I feel like God is calling me for more...to believe Him For more

[@nikkistahr7105]

he most definitely is sister!

[@sibensendze7497]

I like what Stephanie is saying. In your wait, keep building. Do what you do so that if affects others positively. That's how I know my purpose. It makes people around me happy.

[@thembiadoorns]

Thank u Jesus, this is a prophetic word for me in my journey with God🙌 thank you Jesus, needed to hear these testimonies.

[@gracennorom6158]

Wow,the beauty of it is that God has put something in my spirit and I just can't shake it off..

[@quellanicole]

PUSH ME TO A BETTER YES. YES AND AMEN

[@tamekiyahchannel]

The lady with the middle part with the straight hair and she look amazing I her message the words she said touch my heart

[@kelebogilerita3763]

Timely word for me, I am so grateful for this episode and mostly thankful for Jamie's testimony. This is a confirmation for me that I am enough, equipped and qualified by my God for my dream career. There is a dream God has put in my heart and its a feeling I cant shake. I know..its the knowing ❤

[@msflowers9625]

This is such an encouraging message. I’ve been waiting for God to answer a specific prayer for over 20 years and the toughest part of waiting is to not feel rejected and not lose hope. In my soul I know God loves me, he’s not rejecting me and one day hopefully soon he will fulfill his promise to me. God closed some doors for sure but I believe his going to open one door that will be just for me. The promises of God is yes and Amen. 2 Corinthians 1:20

[@zandatwala3469]

I thought i was the only one who's gone through this. Thank you so much for sharing, it's such a comfort to me 🌸❤️

Jamie Kern Lima,I am that one person who you beautiful ladies are talking to.I'm going through a rough patch,God did put this dream in me,I can't shake it off but it is too far fetched,far beyond my reach,received numerous NOs and unanswered emails but I'm trusting because I know God placed it in me and He who is a God of impossibilities will make come to pass

[@ursulagunter4318]

Thank you so much for this encouragement 💗 💕 I said yes to something (someone) and every other day/week I wonder about it because of the rejection that comes in various forms. Today I know that God has a better plan for my life and I say yes to Him even when the voices are trying to say no. Today I take the mic 🎤 back from those voices trying to speak to my destiny and purpose and in JESUS NAME I give the mic🎤 back to God 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@sunshinezee4438]

This is so timely and I feel that it is for me, it spoke to me in a real and encouraging way. That ‘knowing’ that you spoke about, is a knowing that I’ve had for a very long time and I will not give up on it just because it hasn’t happened. Thank you all for these videos, this channel is really such a blessing to me.

[@allyschaumann1169]

This is my journey for what God has put in my heart and though it's not 10 years but I'm in just the same position like were at that time. And yes, yes, yes, that Dream is there, each day of my life. God is walking me through it each day, One Step at a Time. Blessings to You and All of Better Together❤🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Blue77Blue]

Beautiful Prayer I felt that and I know it’s not about a feeling but I did!! Replay

Wow!!! This is 1 of my most favorite episodes!!! And they're all so good! Thank you, Ladies, for speaking the truth of God's Word into the world for all to hear and sharing your experiences and revelations of Faith, trial and hardships!!! You are a Blessing!!! :)

[@simonemaddix3916]

Needed this today. Thank you.

[@keashahobbs8856]

Wow! What an amazing testimony and such an encouraging story 🙌🏽 It’s in the knowing ❤️

[@LisalovesMichael]

This was sooooo good! I’ve been through this with ministry years ago, but I continued pressing on and being obedient. This was so good. Thank you so much for this video! God bless you ladies! Thank you Lori❤

[@Daughteroftheking07]

Oh how I needed to hear her testimony ❤

[@SuperSpring778]

Wow!!! This got my attention for sure… Thanks so much sisters in Christ ❤️✅

[@isabelgongora8417]

Thank you for sharing your story Jamie! I’ve been in a season of No for several years. Your testimony is confirmation that God is working behind the scenes. I will continue to stay on faith street and trust my breakthrough is coming! 🙏🏻🎉

[@emilyl6746]

Very timely! The other day I was rejected for a job I wanted, after having made it through mutliple rounds of interviews. I felt like I had finally made it to the end and that everything had gone well. Of course I was disappointed and discouraged because it was a great opportunity. But honestly, I brought my feelings to God and I just know that His plans are good and a closed door only means something better is on its way. Sometimes we don't understand rejection until later, we just need to trust that God is engineering things for us to be blessed.

[@orvettemayfield9201]

This words has blessed me in so many ways 🙏 🙌

[@gracefullyguidedinfaith417]

Amen, God bless you all.

[@kashewesiyubo6064]

I needed to hear this today. Thank you so much ladies,May God bless you always🙏 ❤

[@lakingdriagrandison6746]

Amen!! Thank You 🙏🏽

[@EveS007]

🙏 I certainly needed this today. All I have been receiving are "No's!" It feels everything is blocked and I keep pressing on. I love how your response to the man that rejected you due to what he thought ... that you didn't fit the look or mold that would be successful in selling your product to women. Jamie handled his call after her success with such grace. You were so truthful in saying how you felt like responding differently but you didn't. It's a very difficult to do that because we know we can't act in the flesh and behave a certain way but we are human and we fail at times with attutude, it's a struggle when we are provoked or treated a certain way. I thank you ladies for sharing such inspirational stories. Jamie I love your product "It Cosmetics!" Je ne se quois is a beautiful lipstick! You'd never know your struggle when you're standing in front of the camera selling your product on the Shop Channel! Thank you Laurie for sharing your financial struggles as well. So many of us are struggling and need to hear these uplifting stories.❤

[@dreamiedips8624]

So on time. Thanks for sharing. 💜🌼

[@elzwherebekind247]

I am so blessed watching this esp.the prayer. It ministered to me as it touches my inner most part of my soul that is hurting and needs healing. I praise Jesus for using this platform to reach me. May God's abundant grace, wisdom be multiplied to all of you❣️🙏🙌😊 Thank you for your ministry through this.

[@geovanniedyer6861]

Blessings my Lord. U make No's into Knowings my Lord. Very much grateful my Lord. Thank u my Lord..

[@ivyadedoyin1459]

I saw this a few days ago when I was about to give up on my grad school dreams. I couldn't find the video at first and of course I thought it was a 'sign' but instead of getting discouraged I try again again. But either way I went ahead and signed up for my class.

[@vanessagambanga299]

Thank you 😢😢

[@alanacummings1264]

So thankful for this session. I will continue to follow God's knowing within me....inspite of the no's. You are my yes Jesus and that is more than enough. Trusting in the knowing.

[@danielledenton2633]

This is so encouraging ❤️

[@charlisSimLife]

My best friend sent this link to today. God knew I needed it because I felt like each lady was sharing my story. Every thing that was shared is what has been happening. I am terrified and I’m only doing what He asked because I want to be obedient. I know it’s Him for so many reasons but the biggest one is because what he wants me to do is bigger than me. There isn’t any way I could do this on my own. Thank you for sharing.

[@thechildofgod7937]

Yes thank you

[@scooterlovya]

Ike is on a roll! ✨
