[@FavoriteHillsongWorshipMusic]

Today is my 21st bday and I have decided to surrender my life Jesus Christ our Savior. This is my best birthday ever!!

[@nokomashala8762]

❤❤❤❤

[@chibaby3599]

Gloryyyyyyy Congratulations Your life has changed for good

[@abidingonthestraightandnar5330]

Happy birthday!! 🎂🎂🥳🥳🥳🥳🎈🎈🎈🎈 and Happy Born again Birthday indeed it's the best gift ever especially at your age many blessings to you, and walk with the King all the days of your life through good times, and bad times God said He will never leave us. Your comment really touched my heart. God bless. ❤❤

[@mvriajvsmine]

That is the only thing I want as well for my Birthday gift, truly the best thing I could ever ask for 🕊️

[@melissapiontek3886]

Happy Birthday and may the Lord bless and keep you!

[@LindaCooper-vg6cs]

Please let us remember this: we don't praise these women for what they say; rather let us praise the LORD, His Holy Spirit to instruct us through them.

[@withloveericah]

We are not strong in Jesus when we are strong. We are strong in Jesus when we are weak and crucify our flesh. Great Word! 🤎

[@nickypongobayengo]

That’s true ♥️

[@namutebimercychristine3937]

True❤

[@veronicad7366]

Exercising faith may not always be about overcoming trials and hardship, sometimes it is about trusting God in uncertainty, when you don't know what is ahead of you, what path to take, where it would lead, long periods of waiting etc. Instead of going nuts in confusion, we must have faith that He will be with us no matter where we are and what we do. It takes a lot of faith to be still and know that he is God. Once we fully surrender ourselves to God and ask Him to lead us in His will, we must have faith that we are walking in His will. Sometimes we are already in His will and we just need faith to keep moving forward. 1 Timothy 6:12 New International Version 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Paul calls faith the "good fight". The enemy of faith is doubt.

[@racheledmonson572]

LISTEN! Thank you for sharing your point. This was on point for me!!

[@antonia5997]

Thanks for sharing- it was really encouraging

[@Jtuckslane]

“Sometimes we are already in his will and we just need faith to keep moving forward” what a word! Thank you so much for sharing🙏🏾

[@phina760]

Thank you for this comment continue to trust him is my need rn and not doubt God bless you

[@their_treasured_childhood]

4 minutes in and I already need to pray for an hour to let that word soak in ❤

[@TuyenikelaoLeonard]

Ma'am!

[@fromarianiewithlove]

Amen! I read this exactly at 4 mins!

[@sharifahnamukwaya3117]

I enjoy Stephanie’s laughter, I find myself smiling or laughing as well❤

[@concerncitizenpeace8661]

I love Stephanie! I love her laughter. Her personality reminds me of mine. Every time I listen to her, she makes me want to draw closer and closer to God. Some christians need to laugh more; they're so serious. I know it's a time and place for everything, but some christians act like God doesn't laugh - HE IS SUCH A SERIOUS GOD! I bet He laughs ALL the time, especially when we think our way is best. Proverbs 17:22 says, "Laughter does good like medicine." Keep laughing and teaching HIS WORD Stephanie. You are truly a powerhouse for God. Selah!!!❤

[@constancecollinssetapart]

I hope you’ve surrendered to Him and gotten closer and closer if that’s what it takes. If NOT…Don’t wait any longer tomorrow isn’t promised to you, Neither is the next moment. Regardless of how many tomorrow’s you’ve had or how many moments. Make that decision NOW, It Matter’s and it’s so worth it! “SEED” 🍃🌱

[@johnjelks8752]

Let's make America believe in God again

[@SamkeVilana]

"When you surrender you no longer in control you say you take it lord I have nothing to fear" ✨️

[@cathsegayo2198]

I love Stephanie Ike, truly she is GOD's mouthpiece. Her wisdom is amazing and does touch hearts. Thank you women of GOD. GOD BLESS YOU ALL❤

[@jody-kaythompson3322]

Lord help us to submit to your will, even when it is counter to our desires and realities.

[@BetterTogetherTV]

Amen! We love that prayer.

[@chinazoucheaga4825]

"My ways are not your ways". This really spoke to me cause I'm in a season I can not really even put into words. But I see now that it is okay because I'm living in a way that is not my way, and the confusion is a normal reaction. But I'm learning to trust God, and for this, I am glad and remain hopeful that I will receive the joy of His salvation.

[@nyajimatut5004]

Amen!

[@Lovely-wy4fo]

Amen and Amen. Just have to surrender.

[@fumn_]

Watching these women felt like putting a mirror in the face of God. So ensuring and encouraging.

[@serena.24]

I really enjoy these talks 🩷

[@faithslifeandstyle]

Me too❤

[@siphokaziluzipho4197]

Same here.

[@mukwamatabaimasiku3686]

Me too

[@Lovely-wy4fo]

Same❤

[@OldGospelSongs92]

God has helped me through the last 3 years since I lost my husband! Miss him every day❤❤, but I am getting by with prayers and family's lov

[@Estherjagwer_25]

It just rocks my mind thinking about how God feels about surrender. How could we not surrender to the one who gave it all to us in the first place? Lord help me to trust in your word more and more each day.

[@mariemuhammad7983]

Surrender is I have no fear. God will take care of us.

[@BetterTogetherTV]

Amen! Everything is in God's hands!

[@nokulungamdladla3177]

God is not withholding anything from us🙏 He is protecting us 🙌from harm.

[@BetterTogetherTV]

Amen! So very true!

[@elessame5890]

I love the idea of “God experiencing us as much as us experiencing him” and us being a sweet aroma to him❤️

[@LindaCooper-vg6cs]

The surrender to me is throwing in the towel, raising my arms and saying alright okay. Submitting is bowing my heart to my knees and finally in willful obedience simply saying yes LORD.

[@speakinggracellc]

It’s the surrendering….Lord I will Trust you 🤲🏾

[@speakinggracellc]

Pull down the power of Heaven daily 🙌🏾

[@TheVow2024]

Thank you, beautiful women of God, for pouring into our lives. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@priyankarana4915]

this is what happens when God loving women of Christ come together. such a bliss ❤

[@christinerhine8183]

Praise Jesus, this is amazing news. My daughter's birthday is close to your, it appears, and she chose to give her life to Jesus on her birthday this year, as well!! I think it is so beautiful to make such a commitment on the day you were born, because it gives you a whole new reason to celebrate your birthday 🎉🎉 Out of all of the decisions im sure were offered to you, God offered His best offer on your birthday and you chose it!!! ❤❤❤ how amazing, congratulations 🎊

[@lafeymwale1788]

Your talks are just so much of an encouragement to me in my walk with Christ Jesus. God bless you all.

[@lisamarie4305]

Humble ourselves under the mighty hands of God and in due time he will exalt us. #surrender blessed word, thank you!

[@jenniferwilliams3524]

God is in control ! Amen ( surrender) amen ( He’s always in control , walk alone with Him! Amen

[@bernmclellan9043]

So blessed by this thank you, I am going through an immense trial causing my health to fail drastically, having to surrender my will has been a rollercoaster, I desire to do this but struggling with emotions way to hard to deal with...my husband has walked out on our marriage and I am Terminal...so hectic right now

[@miriamgreenmanrmngreenman4328]

Wow God's timing in this.... I woke up with the Psalms 23 He.leads us ...and then the Lord's prayer, your kingdom come your will be done. All of this ministered and challenged me. The story about the house, I have a house story too. I did not want the house and Acquiesced, with the caveat that you will let me do what I want. God and his gentle, but for mercy, convicted me today...😭 And the vision about what do you have to offer me and realizing that this life is but a breath and I have wasted entirely too much time.. I know the surrender is a trust issue and you spoke so very well to it. I hadn't thought about in the way that you presented it. Because I thought I had the goodness of the Lord settled in my heart. I hadn't thought about good enough to protect my vulnerability. I see. I need him to redeem my perspective because I'm still looking at whether or not the person's character is worthy of my surrender. When really? It is the character and nature of christ and our lord, who is worthy so much easier to say. Fear needs to go... I didn't realize that I was giving fear a place in my heart by withholding. My surrender, based on what I see with my eyes rather than what I am being invited into.

[@lindamwanzia3755]

God led me to hear this ....Thanks especially to Chrystal for your story very encouraging

[@Estherjagwer_25]

This whole episode was therapy to my soul. It truly blessed me more than I could expect. God you're worthy and I surrender all. What a beautiful thing to surrender to God because we get to experience all that He has ordained for our lives. Teach me to have a heart of surrender Lord. I love you more than anything.

[@BetterTogetherTV]

Amen! We praise God for the work that He is doing in your life! 💜

[@lisaphillipo413]

surrendering means yielding to another's power. I love to put Romans 12:1 with Ephesians 3:20-21 He is able to do more than we could ask or imagine. He is in control. My heart says, here I am Lord for You to work in and through me as You will. May I have my life, breath, and being in and through You. I trust in You and You alone.

[@margaretokeke7268]

You take control, I have nothing to fear because God will take care of us

[@nwunyeUz]

46:28- 47:00 this! What I bring to the Father is my dogged faith in trials.

[@angelnkue5710]

I surrender to YOU DAD 💯 in Jesus Christ's name amen. Thanks dear sisters , this podcast is just wonderful and timely. More grace dearest❤

[@cynthiak.l566]

She blesses my soul and feed my spiritual life with solid food. Not a human pleaser but she is determined to please her heavenly Father. We give God the glory for manifesting Himself through His vessel❤❤

[@abidingonthestraightandnar5330]

This was so good, and I didn't know Stephanie Ike had a baby, wow congratulations to her! "As God teaches He's going to give you time to practice" love it! Chrystal Evans Hurst is so full of wisdom. Love this platform it is so loving, and peaceful to watch.❤❤❤❤

[@gaellebien-aime3116]

I surrender all to you Lord!🙌🏾

[@CarolJackinspire]

This topic is deep, and i found it at the right time, I have been struggling to surrender, saying I have faith but most time I had doubts asking myself where is God when I need Him the most? I’m at the point in my life where I just said I dnt know anything at all, I surrender all I dnt care anymore what comes my way but I know He is with me He will never leave me nor forsake me🙏. I just want to know my Father more, to have intimacy with Him. I’m so blessed by all of you women of faith🙏

[@namutebimercychristine3937]

God am blessed i've come across this, have been struggling with surrendering to God and after watching this i feel relieved thanks and God bless you 🥰🥰🙏🙏

[@abodemetto8127]

When you surrender, you truly come to a place of joy n comfort cause God has a perfect plan and you can trust in that plan.
