36:13 Praying for everyone who tunes in🙏🏾. I was trying to keep it simple when explaining in the video but I want to clarify on this part that I’m not suggesting our actions are unimportant. As I mentioned in the video, when we place our faith in Jesus, He helps us discern right from wrong and empowers us to act rightly. My main point was that our good works cannot earn us salvation-only faith in Jesus can grant us eternal life (Heaven), as stated in Ephesians 2:8-10 & John 3:16. Unlike legalism, which believes that good works alone can lead to salvation, true obedience recognizes that salvation comes solely through Christ, leading to good works as a natural outcome. As our love for Christ deepens, our obedience naturally grows. So obedience is always a result of Christ’s saving work but not a means to achieve it. However, I should have expanded more on the fact that faith without works is dead. Meaning, Good works and obedience to God’s commandments serve as evidence of our salvation. If someone claims to have faith but does not follow God’s commands, their faith is essentially empty, as outlined in James 2:14-26. & John 14:15 GOD ACCEPTS US AS WE ARE BUT LOVES US TOO MUCH TO KEEP US THE SAME❤ Ephesians 2:8-10 John 3:16. James 2:14-26 John‬ ‭3:18-21‬ John 14:15

This was a nice interview. I respect you so much hearing your mature mindset and letting the Holy Spirit speak through you. I can honestly say I definitely prejudged you, but this conversation showed that your worship & relationship with Christ is authentic 🎯

KEEP GOING SIS !!💙 May your testimony set MANY FREE IN JESUS NAME

I knew exactly what you meant, but thank you for clarifying. Great interview!

This was Gooooooooood!!!!!!!! I didn't want it to end!!!!! Go CiCi!! Thank you Lord!!!!✝️🙏🏾🙌🏽✨️

Keep Growing in Our Savior...AMEN

Thats my daughter ❤❤

[@BarsAndBeatsEntertainment]

i realized anytime i acted "good" from my own strenght i'd be humbled by my faults. Loving God really is about letting Him do the work and giving Him the honor He deserves

[@Purehandz]

Man I love how she broke down us being saved by our faith in Christ & not works. She put it very simple & concise for anyone to understand. Well put CiCi 🙌🏾✝️❤️.

[@BlossomsEdits-tb4hz]

Wow, beautiful interview👏👏✨️🗣 Jesus is really amzing 👑God is so good❤✝️❤️‍🔥

[@BibleDriven4LifewithStaysha]

I absolutely love me some childlike Cici at 41:51 she's talking about her song touch generations / that's not what I heard..... I love all her songs they speak to me and she just got some straight fire bars for days ❤❤

[@BibleDriven4LifewithStaysha]

At 47:19 I love how she said Romans 8:28 was her favorite verse because today I was literally just reading Romans chapter 8 and it really hit home for me..... So just to know that this is childlike Cece's favorite verse I will be writing this in my Bible ❤ God is soooooo good Amen

This is so good

[@dcfal817]

I made an inappropriate comment yesterday, forgive me sis. I love this interview because it wasn’t focused on self but the glory of the lord!! We need cici to get on big platforms like “Sway” and “breakfast club” and witness to the heathens

[@iamhisgoodthing3049]

Great interview. I liked CiCi before, but this made me an even bigger fan! ❤

Been waiting for my good sis to drop interviews, whatever she want to do tho. Talk that power Sis.

[@nenajay3174]

Great interview. I get what Jay is saying. If you listen to people like Tiphani Montgomery, she has a different take on partaking in certain activities and listening to certain music or artists. There are many Christians with many views, sometimes conflicting with each other.

W episodeeeeeee🔥

[@melliemel32]

I really like Childlike Ci Ci! Been following her a little for some months now. I am encouraged by her strong stand for Christ! I do want to emphasize what she said about legalism. She is correct, John 3:16 & Romans 10:9 tell us how we get saved, but 2 Corinthians 5:10 tells us we will have to give an account for what we do in our bodies whether good or bad, so we really must watch our lives bc guess what Jesus said “If you love Me then keep My commandments,” so I don’t know if we can really say we’re saved if we aren’t striving to live in OBEDIENCE to what the Bible says bc the Bible IS God’s Word! Keep going Ms. Ci Ci!!! Love the rap also…long as you’re doing it for Christ & you’re following Jesus, it’s GOOD! Thanks to this host for speaking to her. Praying for him too that he will be more serious & steadfast about living for Jesus. I can tell he’s thinking about some things…God bless! ☝🏽☝🏽✝️🙏🏽

I really enjoyed this entire interview so many nuggets were dropped ………. Me commenting after watching it to the very end. You just a super real person. Preciate’cha

[@bigstepper1987]

The alcohol sponsor before the interview wasn’t called for considering the conversation but my good sis stood on bussiness the entire interview! I can tell you carry yourself a certain way that others respect even if they are not Christian. Besides that, This was good,please do more interviews cici or start your own podcast.

[@mijahburns94]

Definitely, but her being in the room is so needed. She’s a light and he may need it lol

[@kweori123]

I was so confused about the alcohol. I was wondering if I should even watch. Glad I did

[@dcfal817]

You do know alcohol isn’t a sin and this is his platform right? The virtue signaling is corny because there is no biblical prescription to not drink alcohol. In specific the New Testament preaches against the practice of getting drunk

[@kweori123]

@@dcfal817 I use to make the same excuse when I was a new Christian but continued drinking strong alcohol/ liquor. There’s nothing about drinking liquor that glorifies God. Plus, drinking liquor can easily leads to getting drunk. It’s like an unmarried Christian couple sleeping on the same bed but claiming they’re not having sex.

[@dcfal817]

@@kweori123 This is all subjective and anecdotal opinions. Your personal conviction is not equivalent to what’s written in scripture If you can’t give objective prescriptions from scripture to validate your claim your simply promoting legalism and not godly commandments

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

[@TajTayla]

We just need to read our Bibles and build our biblical literacy so we aren’t confused. Hosea 4:6 ~ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

[@dcfal817]

@@TajTayla the more appropriate suggestion is for Christian to be apart of a local church body. I don’t subscribe to spiritual discipline outside the ekklesia. Private interpretations and renegade behavior is what leads to creating cults that goes against orthodoxy

​@@AshleyBdont4getheB there is a right and a wrong. If Everyone worship different gods and nobody wrongs. Then who say what is morality right and wrong. Where does the moral standard comes from?? Jesus is the true living God.
