[@ladennayoung2939]

It's a blessing to see anyone praise and acknowledge the Lord nowadays. Since the enemy have a lot of people bound with hate and anger. Acting as if they are God themselves. It is sad really. That is why it's imperative that we pray for the lost souls all over the world. Including those in Hollywood.

[@MarleeDecember105]

If you are viewing this video, know that it is not by coincidence. You were meant to see, hear and experience this anointing. As a strong believer in God and Jesus, this touched me in so many areas. My tears started when Essence spoke of the Holy Spirit prompting her to empty her guest house, then I shouted hallelujah when she spoke on being celibate and gaining that clarity of which most ppl don't understand.... because I too have experienced it (I've been celibate for 7 years). Even my visions are clearer and more vivid. I can go on and on because we've experienced similar happenings, however, I'm going to say this... Although I've been shacking with DFW since mid 2020😊, this video totally blessed me tonight. Essence dropped a lot of nuggets and I AM blessed to have been anointed by her spirit twice this week. 🙌🏽 Praises to God. When you follow God's instruction, the blessings will flow.😊🙌🏽

[@Radience100]

Stop shackin and subscribe sis!!!! You won’t regret it! Lol 😆

[@fernanchayoung5594]

This is my favorite thus far! Essence was speaking my heart. This encouraged me so much after someone telling me just this week that I need to find a man only just for sex. But I know who I am in Christ Jesus and I will continue to wait on my Kingdom husband.

Hands down the best interview I have ever seen on this page. Marriage God’s way is for purpose, not just simply pleasure. Having someone in your corner that has the missing pieces to your puzzle of purpose and vice versa.

[@srich28]

Wow! I’m speechless! Knew her as an actress, but didn’t know much about Her as a woman and a woman of God at that. Her ability to articulate in general and to do so of the gospel and and fully be transparent and herself is such a beautiful thing to watch. Many blessings to her ❤️

[@nikkyshamz2696]

Omg I have made the decision to wait until marriage, my friends talked about and made jokes about me but I have already in the past given myself to someone that God didn't create me for. Dear future hubby I'm sorry for not waiting on you like I should have but I won't make that mistake again. This is confirmation, I felt so alone on this journey, thank you for this, im almost in tears. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@aubrie_morgan]

Thats why we don’t need to share everything with our girlfriends. Somethings are just sacred and just for us and our partners.

[@KeepHealingSis]

Glory to God! You are certainly NOT alone on this journey of abstaining until your God Ordained Marriage manifests. In addition to God being by your side the whole way, there are a sea of us out here, waiting, trust and believing that God’s word will never return void as it is written. Those who make fun of your obedience to what was commanded by the Lord can only report from the level in which they live - the carnal world. We are in a war against culture and WE have been chosen to manifest as the tangible evidence of God’s word. I pray your continued strength. Blessings to you 🙏🏾♥️

[@gwynethhobson9740]

Stay focused on Him. I know what it’s like to wait and see others not waiting getting what you want. However, in the end I’m the only one out of my closest friends who has a husband who prays with and for her.

[@wendyellis3738]

Thank you Jesus

[@beingbravewithmonica]

Essence is a great example of God having representation in the entertainment industry most people think that the people that are being used by God are those in a church setting or, a pastor, or evangelist, or a preacher of some sort but God is placing his people in unexpected areas where his love is needed the most!!!!!

[@nikkyshamz2696]

This was so good and encouraging. I knew her as a beautiful actress, didn't know she was a fire filled, anointed woman of God. Everything she said ministered. She definitely has a calling on her life. Bloom where you're planted, yall. We all have a responsibility to shine the light of Christ everywhere we find ourselves.

It make sense because I've been seeing her on TV since I was a child.

[@patriciasmith5778]

I just gained a new respect for Essence... People don't understand the importance of Obedience with God, but to be obedient you MUST be able to hear Him, you MUST know when He speak or when He shows up, you HAVE to know His voice. This BLESSED my whole spirit. Thank you Essence for your obedience and transparenc and love for HIM.

I met Essence last year on zoom when we invited her to speak to a group of our students at Chicago Virtual Charter School. But, this Essence, on this podcast right here, spoke to the RECESSES of my soul! I think I've found my new soul sister in the wait! I appreciate the realness of the journey of the wait. She gave words to my journey of waiting, the heightened sensitivity, the heightened discernment, and lastly, the POTENCY!!!! My future husband will get the FULL 10 years of my potency in Jesus name, Amen!!!😆

Essence is glowing in her purpose which is why she was able to flow so well with the topic of the podcast. Quarantine opened her mind to new heights and I can tell she was excited to share her walk with God, and the many emotions that comes with being a believer in a world full of turmoil. No pressure, but I think she should be brought back - it’s apparent she spoke to everyone in these comments. Good job (again) Laterras- and the wifey letter at the end is amazing.

Who is this. Oh my goodness, I am so blessed by this because I am a woman of God who was married for 13 years, divorced for 10. I have been celibate for over 10 years because of my Fear of God, my Love for God and the respect for marriage. In addition, I have a 16 year old son and I want to show him the purity of waiting and the respect I have for myself as a woman. I have been in terrible relationships where I was told no one will wait for me and that is a lie. I am waiting because I honor God and have too much respect. Way to go Essence, bless you woman of God for your honesty.

Hello, and God Bless you woman of God, I'm in a similar situation. But I refuse to settle, my Pastor preaches this all the time; but as women we still dont listen and end up in the horrible relationships. I've been celibant for over 10 years also and I'm content with where God has me right now. I'm waiting on his best. May God continue to Bless you and your son. Wait on God!!!🙌🙏

[@keishajohnson5335]

@@pampeeleshelton3401 Amen sis. The bible says in Isaiah 54 that our 'Maker' 'Creator' is our husband. I am very content at this moment and will continue until God sees fit to send me my companion. Praise Him for your testimony. I was told by someone that a man will never agree with my beliefs, he ain't God and he was dismissed before a relationship ever got off the ground. God created everything; do you actually think HE will not send someone tailor made for you. Look at what happened to Isaac in the bible, Abraham's senior servant was tasked to find the right woman for Isaac, Genesis 24. Blessings to you and your family sis.

I'm not shacking up. I made a commitment and subscribed only after listening to one episode. I only discovered you randomly through a pop up after listening to a message from TD Jakes. I started my journey looking at episodes, saw Essence and just considered listening to it. This podcast I absolutely love. I'm so happy I found it or more like it found me. Inspiring messages, amazing content. I can't stop listening as I'm now binge watching. I just wanted to say thank you. Before learning of your podcast I would write letters to my future husband, wrote my vows and would think to myself I've absolutely gone crazy. I just said I'm manifesting those things which weren't as they were. When I saw you doing it I was like ok I'm not totally crazy because you're doing it to. Lol. I've discovered that's how believers roll. It's the substance of what we hope for. I believe in you and you're amazing. Keep doing what you do. It has blessed me. I look forward to every episode. This episode, I have no words. God bless you dear brother.

"do not allow to be distracted by a substitute!!!!" hands down true. For a few years i was waiting while being distracting myself with a substitute until God reached out and popped my ears to hear what this person was saying cause they had been telling me about what and who they were about but because i was hearing and not listening. it took 5 years for my ears to pop open. i feel like i wasted 5 years but this is not watsted time God was indeed patient to allow me to come to realisation i needed to be out of this situation as there was no commitment oh gosh. so true Essence, this podcast was two years ago but still makes. sense.

What a beautiful soul! The Holy Spirit makes us beautiful from the inside out. Her humility and transparency is appreciated. Her testimony makes me want to go deeper in God and that speaks volumes. I will be re-watching this episode because she dropped so many gems.

Ms. Atkins and I are the same age. What she shared resonates so much with me. She just tore the roof off and built it back up! So rich, pure, honest, transparent talk. Thank you so much, both of you, for this episode!

I’m currently shifting and I felt my soul and spirit shift on a higher level listening to this. Thank You for adding to my awakening 💜

Amen!

I can relate to everything she is saying!!!!!!! My life, as well as relationships kept having the same ending UNTIL I let GOD in 🙏 I started loving myself for the first time. So many things and people were removed in this process! After only 30 something years, I finally had peace in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to cause self destruction and was my biggest enemy. Now I feel so unstoppable 🙏 🙏 please never give up guys. And never second guess the power you have!

I loved her before this episode and I love her even more. So humble. So peaceful. So accomplished. And most of all so transparent while giving God all the praise.

Love how Essence is living her life on purpose by design and not default. This was very inspiring obedience is better than sacrifice!

Wow, "Someone in this moment is being set FREE!" That would be Me! Thank you both and God Bless You, Essence.

[@chavonehollimon4515]

God’s light shines through her and I’m sooo glad that someone shared this with me. Revelation, knowledge, perspective, honest real…all of that. Thank you.

"Essence of Beauty." Essence is such a beautiful and humble soul. Her beauty is from the inside out. I was truly touched by her words. And when I have my daughter, my baby's middle name will be Essence. I'm praying for my baby even before she's here! Thank you for this upload. I loved it.

Amen. I pray with you in agreement.

[@karenmcgee1869]

@@miasministry07 thank you sooo much! Blessings to you.

"I waited for you! I was intentional. I want to give you all the potency " It was all of that!!! You are accurately named because you get to the Essence, the deep down purity of truth . Thank you! This was absolutely the greatest presentation experience I've ever had

She needs to return on a HUBBY episode. Blessed me so, and made me weep & shout!

This was one of the most powerful episodes to date. Season 3 certainly took off to an amazing start. I look forward to watching the rest of the episodes. Honestly, I'm tempted to skip ahead and watch episode 401 which has my 2 favorite guests, Essence and Jay. You were right in saying she put out so many gems, enough to open a jewelry store. She spoke directly to my heart and the message and joy of abstinence was heard loud and clear. What better way to go into this new year than to give myself completely to God! I am grateful to God for the work that He is doing through this incredible podcast.

I searched this episode out when I saw her in a clip and God knew exactly what I needed. Thank you for this channel and thank you Essence for your submission. Abundant blessings to you all.

[@vanessahawkins7668]

Had to watch this again. I could relate to her so well. She's a beautiful intersection of anointing and the fruit of the spirit. She's already doing ministry. Praying that she receives all that God has for her!

[@t.tenille4194]

Essence definitely lives up to her name. She's definitely giving pearls of wisdom. Great interview!!!

In Nigeria we say this lady “finish work” Praise God.

[@cjones2171]

This video is hands down my favorite on this channel. I have listened to it more than once and I find myself discovering something I missed each time. Thank you Essence and Laterras, you both are appreciated and very much needed.

This was an amazing show! New respect for Essence! She dropped so much wisdom!
