Christian FOMO

[@niyadanyalle]

Just came back from a girls trip to New Orleans and this episode hit so close to home. Honestly, I pray for self control EVERYDAY and I pray that God brings me Godly friends so that I am not constantly tempted to sin when going out.

[@powellkatie123]

I’m a baby Christian and I just THREW MY HANDS UP AND PRAISED HIM when you said 1 Peter 4!!! Let me tell you I have had my Bible open to 1 Peter 4:7 where it says be sober-minded and alert for prayer for two weeks now and read everyday. I have it next to a white board I am tracking my days free from weed. Today is day 30.🎉 I had a AHA moment (I think I heard from my father 😊) and started writing in my journal “it’s not that I can’t smoke, it’s that I CAN be sober-minded and alert for prayer.” I put your video back on and within seconds after I wrote down 1 Peter 4, you said the same thing!! I’m hype! 😂 I also found it from opening the Bible up and He lead me there. God is so good. Your podcast has particularly been standing out to me this month and I’m so happy God just showed me I’m on the right path, all will be ok. ❤ I struggle with so much anxiety and su**cidal thoughts at work and then this happens. So I have so much encouragement to keep going and I know God never left me even when I was feeling so low!

Reminding ourselves abt all the bad that came along with the “fun” frm our past is soo important because the enemy lures us back to it by influencing us to only remember the very few “good” moments (which were actually illusions anyway). We have to redefine our lives and what we think is “good” and “fun” now in order to be content with this new path❤

[@souad7889]

What do u do for fun ? Idk how to feel cos I’m 20 and never had ‘fun’. Never had a rebellion phase and struggling with the transition from being a a teen to now an adult. Especially seeing how easy things look for people my age and what they do do fun. I can’t lie and say I don’t wanna experience it also cos I do. I’m upset I didn’t have that phase. I want to do right. Not to say I won’t make mistakes. But anyways (sorry for the long explanation 😂) what can you do for fun. That can make me ‘let loose’ in a better way that doesn’t involve ‘worldy’ things.

[@charniecearielle]

@@souad7889 Learn as much as you can. Especially how to care for your finances. Exercise/ take fitness classes. Learn how to cook quality food that nourishes you. Read books on subjects you’re interested in, download apps to learn different languages, travel (even if it’s locally) to see cool places and eat good food lol! Just fill your life with good things that advance you in life. All the things you think you want to do for fun are very damaging in the long run and can take years off your life trying to heal from it so it’s best to never indulge. Be different and you’ll attract the best of everything including ppl to share your journey with!

This video came across my KZbin suggested at such perfecting timing. I became a Christian a little over a year ago. I use to be a party girl Thursday- Sunday. When I surrendered my life to Christ, the desires weren’t as heavy until now. I’m thankful God put this video in front of me, it was much needed. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@oreoluwaobiri5380]

This is so encouraging. I went in a girls trip as well recently and had to deny the club and drinking even despite pressure. People tell me that it’s not that deep, but I believe the contrary. This stuff is deeper than we even realize, and what God is doing in me and through me is so much more important than a night of enjoyment. He is so worth it. I’m so happy for you and I love hearing you speak about Jesus! He’s the real deal ❤ 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 there is so much more than the pleasures of this life ❤️

[@Kenesha_]

Loved this episode!!! I have been struggling with this one. I have even talked to my therapist about being in worldly spaces. This was deff encouraging and what really hit home is when you said “You’ve done enough of that” it’s time to get to purpose. You have delayed your purpose. It’s bigger than parties and worldly things we are called to complete his mission. Lord knows I have done enough and I used to work in a strip club as a waiter. I can’t even believe I did that all for some extra money. Thank God he snatched me up 🙌🏾

[@theona3726]

I love your honesty ❣️

[@vanitylagail]

I just went back to my hometown and everyone was offering me alcohol. I tell you when I said “ I don’t drink “ they thought it meant : “ I don’t drink a lot” , “ I don’t drink hard liquor “ or they just didn’t care enough to STOP OFFERING . It’s crazy. Me not drinking was a conviction for me also. I have multiple videos on my channel about my journey with alcohol .

[@NatalieDiamond]

Living a life in Christ is beyond amazing and worth all the worldly sacrifices❤️

[@tayyy4589]

Amani you don’t realize the impact you’re making omg. This just spoke to my spirit so hard! You’re so raw & real. I love you & your platform, as well as the work God is doing within you👏🏾

[@noellenicole8838]

I Thank God for leading me to this video since I have been struggling with FOMO so badly. God saved me at 15 years old and now I’m 17 still trying to give him my all but the thoughts of missing out keep settling in since I’m young, haven’t experienced much like others but that’s his will. I’m just praying for sisters in Christ that can help me and encourage me when my mind is stuck on my sisters and friends having relationships, life’s, etc. Keep me in prayer, God bless❤️

[@oliviaharley1944]

This is a beautiful testimony that a lot of us on a different journey of walking with God go through.This is an eye opener that FOMO is real

[@deshaedean157]

I relate so heavily. FOMO is real as a Christian 😢 Super proud of you for maintaining your integrity! I’m inspired

[@Itsme_leandra]

I saw you on tiktok and said no way this is the same Amani that I went to Grace Baptist with!! So good to see you doing so well for yourself girl 💗🫶🏼 God bless you!

It’s so beautiful when we see God transforming our hearts. I’m new to your content, but I’m so proud of you! Thanks for sharing & continue to be a light!

[@hiyori2846]

I love your videos! God has really anointed you and called you to make these kinds of videos. It’s so good! You are such a good speaker, I just really like listening to you.

[@Sulemalopez85]

Every one of your videos ignites my soul ❤️‍🔥 and encourages me and brings confirmation 🕊. Thank you for your obidience to God and putting out these videos! All glory be to God our father in heaven. God bless you my sister 🙏🏽 He truly does care about every detail of our lives. I can relate to you so much. Love your essence and energy ❤

[@hopeisgood631]

Amani, we need more christian people like you. You keep it real. You dont pretend and get straight to the point. So many christian women (God bless them) talk about struggles but still try to keep it all pretty, you know? And while the message is good, its hard to relate because of their efforts to keep it all pretty. This is my first time seeing your video so I just want to say that your words reached me.

[@girlybaker1241]

He is worthy to be praised🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@lexeighbehr]

Amani!! As someone who has been watching you on tik tok for a while and has always loved your honesty confidence, I am so overjoyed that you are leaning more into Gods will for your life! You may be one of my favorite KZbinrs now❤️ I’m looking forward to watching you and your channels flourish💕

Good evening 🌆 from Houston,TX

[@taylarjaasu]

Mike posner lol very much a great song. Self control and self discipline is key to being committed. You can still have fun but you have to choose what type of fun you want to have. You have to learn to navigate secular spaces because we still are living in the world we just aren’t of the world. You don’t have to get drunk, party in the secular space, or tune in fr. You can exist and not partake in the activities. Have fun lol but remember self discipline, self control, moderation, and fighting temptation to where it one glass or anything that tempts you doesn’t phase you anymore.

[@souad7889]

I love this but I still don’t know how 😭😭. I don’t drink or club but I wanna go to a club. Idk how to feel. I have self control and I know myself but it’s just so…idk. It’s especially hard because I didn’t have a fun phase or party phase. A phase where I was care free and let loose. How can I have fun ?

[@taylarjaasu]

@@souad7889 you don’t need the club. You are not missing out at the club I promise. Great alternates would be sports bars, taverns, interactive spaces like bowling, top golf, suites at sport games such as basketball or football or baseball, you can get floor seating they serve alcohol in moderation, bowling with friends, adult skating, going on vacations and trying out their interactive spots. Spaces are fun with people you can have fun with. If you surround yourself with good company or just even enjoy your own company you’ll enjoy being outside more and doing things that actually make you have a good time. At the club if you don’t have fun friends it will be boring lol. They play the same songs, people get drunk, people fight lol it’s a wild space

[@souad7889]

@@taylarjaasu thank you so much. This means a lot. A year ago, everything you said would be my definition of fun and living life(still is). But as I got into my depressive state and wanted to strengthen my relationship with God I wanted to do the clubbing etc. that feeling hasn’t gone away yet and maybe it won’t till I go and see it’s actually trash🤣. But thank you so much again ! I just need friends to do these things with !

[@souad7889]

@@taylarjaasu one more question, are lounges and stuff bad ? My sister wants to bring me along w her this summer and I’ve been scared. Feeling like everything is a sin where I’ve decided I’m gonna stay home this summer because I’m filled with guilt every time for no reason. I wanna go and have fun with my sister but I’m just weary that I’m ‘sinning’. Sorry for all the questions btw hope I’m not being annoying

[@taylarjaasu]

@@souad7889 you’re good! And no you are not being annoying. I was like you. Always had questions that needs answering and that’s ok! That’s why we are here. Sisters in Christ. Going out isn’t a sin. Don’t let the enemy confuse you into thinking such. Lounges are fine. It’s all about self control and moderation and creating personal boundaries with yourself about what you choose to allow in your life as a Christian. Clubs I wouldn’t recommend because it’s full of temptation. Lounges could be the same but it’s about how you deal with being tempted. If you don’t get drunk then it’s cool. If alcohol isn’t a big thing for you then it’s ok. It’s about self control and moderation. So if you have one drink or two and is completely sober then you aren’t sinning. God wants you to enjoy your life. He doesn’t want you inside living in a cave. I’m going to share a story with you lol two years ago my friend and I went to this hotel bar and got drunk lol me and like 2 other people were talking about God and her and the group she was with were talking about sex lol. Two totally different topics and the people I was with only had a few drinks whereas me a baby Christian at the time was drunk😂😂. Yes I was convicted but I learned from it and also learned that Christian’s have a few drinks learn self control. So going out is totally ok. It’s about you and what you choose to be around ☺️

[@Beautifulglenda]

Another great video. I think that statement of everybody has fomo can be kind of false because let's look at a few things here. Firstly, sin and seeing certain things grieve me. I don't think it's fun or glamorous to see my friends and family headed for destruction but calling it fun. Also, sin doesn't look glam or fun to me and a lot of other Christians who God took the veil off our ours. It's like I can see things I never want to see, and when you can see those demons and spirits, you realize it's not a game. Another point we have to look at is that you had the "good" side of sin. That's like somebody trying to convince these celebrities that they won't miss out however think about the ex drug addict, prostitute, poor/homeless person. I highly doubt they have FOMO to go back to their old life. The peace and joy I have in the lord I want NOTHING to do with the devil.
