Familiar is Not Safe | In The Room

A whole word🙌🏾

[@chocalett]

I had to take a look at myself and ask why I kept dating the same guy over and over again. I took myself to therapy because it was me! People are who they are..but you have a choice. I had issues that I needed to address. I encourage anyone who is going through this to seek some help. Seek God and Stop the cycle!

[@ashleykennard74]

I’m in therapy too and may I say it has definitely helped me understand myself better, undo some unhealthy behavior/actions, and learn healthier resources. I believe that God is pruning us for something like we never thought of before 🙏🏽

[@Blessedbeauty527]

Liking before we even get into this!!!!! 😌🔥

[@amandathomason7978]

What was so interested in this conversation was the fact if God has called you to do something he will protect you, he’ll keep you in safety. Grieving properly also caught my attention ( Dying t👀 self).

[@oscarmike1131]

the timing of this is incredible. I'm currently in a fruitful season that has me in places and situations I have never been before. In the moment when God is moving us away from the familiar, it always seems uncomfortable and sometimes painful, but I am grateful for it because it is allowing us to know God in such a powerful and intimate way. Glod bless you ladies, I have never met a single one of you, but I feel like you are all my sisters.

[@amandaecheona1457]

I literally look forward to these! The purity and transparency is what we all need to see that it ACTIALLY EXISTS! Gracias

[@YAHsKreative]

Tiffany Bucknor @Anointed Fire just posted a video about familiar spirits. The information she presents sheds more light on what the familiarity is really about and why it's not always safe. All praise to the Most-High for ensuring that the body addresses these issues. HalleluYah.

[@EmilyHakoola]

If Stephanie was my mentor! 🙌🏾

[@AmberTeNeil]

This was a great conversation and really put some things in perspective for me. I have been grieving a relationship for over a year now and it’s because I wasn’t truly trusting that God had better for me because it was the best I had yet to experience. But it’s in obedience where we experience Gods best!

[@tanzzyi6198]

Bless you ❤️

[@lizzymwamba7546]

So good "it's in obedience that we experience GOD'S best"

[@amandaecheona1457]

2nd thought: if God calls you to go somewhere and you don't go because of a significant other you can pray for God to reveal His plan for you to them! Like Mary and Joseph, Mary was obedient and willing and Joseh received revelation thru an angel so she could be obedient!!! Wowwww

@@fatimaelswify1657 this show has brought much clarity and a deeper faith that I didn't know could exist. Thank you for all for transparency and allowing God to use you, cause it is like putting a magnifying glass on the life and community we can have with others in a pure, holy and attractive way. We all desire to live like God called us to but it's hard to imagine and this is shining a light on the simplest things such as honest conversations and deep meaningful topics.

I LOVE this ladies!!! Sharing real life experiences and spreading the word of GOD. To GOD be the glory!

[@lateishaclement]

Whew! That was such a good conversation because to be safe is to be in God's alignment. I am struggling with that a little bit, while working to believe and trust in God's guidance. I know His voice and pray He will keep me. I know that trust is the key to my fulfillment. Trust in Him.

[@lisakalimashe5562]

I literally look forward to these! Lol Sometimes I watch previous episodes over again cause it helps me so much.

[@ErA-el1je]

Amazing episode. God called our family to relocate from Michigan to Texas. Incredible peace (yet bittersweet) and soo many things have fallen into place. My motto: ALL FOR JESUS!!

[@patiencekebigile9487]

"Isaac died in his heart". This is really good. There's never really a problem with the promises of God but the idol we make off of them 💯

In the room has helped me so much in life thank you God for the gift in these ladies

[@izmyster4815]

My awareness of attracting the same thing is what truly brought me to obedience of God.

[@ChristinaDejene]

Wow. This was so amazing. There was so many things in here that blessed me. We have to go through life with open hands and realize that all of God’s actions are out of love and apart of his BIG plan. God is sovereign, loving, and wise. The enemy uses the brokenness in our souls to keep us stagnant and attract those familiar things. But, we have to let go and know that God is growing us every day in every way and we have to TRUST his process. Have faith in HIM. I’ve been really focusing on wholeness and being a friend of God. Having a relationship. God has really been speaking to me. I’ve been working on turning to God for fulfillment rather than wordly unsatisfactory things. And trusting the WAIT. And not focusing on the past and present and knowing, trusting, and having faith that what God promised, which will be LIT, is coming. God has got big things coming for ALL of us. Trust him! Thank you y’all for this discussion ❤️ Definitely some confirmations in here for me and I’m sure many others. I pray for shalom over every person who watches this. God fill us up! Have a great day! 💃🏿 Proverbs 27:7 - When your soul is full, you turn down even the sweetest honey. But when your soul is starving, every bitter thing becomes sweet. God you are enough ❤️

[@KSitta-qd6pm]

I rarely take the time to leave a comment on KZbin, but that last piece of conversation about ; grieving properly means dying to ourselves & God ultimately being a jealous God for our own good by giving us the opportunity to kill an idol in our heart 💡😵‍💫 WOW The Holy Spirit really moves ✨

[@bonolomodisenyane5349]

This was such a thought-provoking discussion about letting go and letting God lead the way and we just follow and put our faith in him for every new journey he had planned for us.

[@MissRichu]

This came at a time I was battling with indecisiveness and grief. I am so grateful for this episode, God has used you to get to me .

[@donnap7757]

I needed this like now. Right now!! Just 12 hours ago I had a really enlightening conversation on my life and the settling I have locked myself in because of fear and deciding that this is the best and full experience GOD has for me... then knowing it was not right but just kept at it. Now everything I feared is happening. God said fear not, but I have been sinning because I have been insecure and allowed idolatry. Forgive me LORD, I repent from this idolatry of insecurity and lack of faith.

[@jessicastroud3042]

The fact that THIS was the message and aired on THIS DATE.... wow I am in awwhh. God's timing is perfect. I've never felt more comforted and personally attacked at the same time lol!!

[@chanelshion9034]

WOW, Such a great conversation. I just moved to GA from California and somedays I wake up and I'm like ,Lord WHAT am I doing out here lol. I came out here thinking I knew what would come but a lot of the things I thought was coming to pass, has been pushed back. I came with one suitcase and my purse lol and all my fam is back home in Cali. He took me right out of my comfort zone and what I tought was "safe." I still don't know what He's doing but I have been soooo covered since i've been here. I'm grateful to know that His grace and. covering is right where He called me.. even if I don't know what's to come.

[@tracey1brave.]

This was excellent. Familiar to a person, place or thing may not be helpful or healthy or simply no longer serves a purpose and time to move out of our comfort zone. This can be daunting and challenging.

[@justliciab3340]

This Conversation Really Blessed Me, I Truly Needed This🙏🏾❤️

[@Nobilotus]

I struggle with some of these topics everyday... the book of Mark speaks on leaving your hometown. I got led to the book of Mark after I decided to drive all the way back home from LA after a year of living there. I up and moved to LA the year before I drove there and back form Illinois. I literally dropped everything and moved, God covered me like no other it felt like a dream but it felt to good to be true. So mentally, I couldn't accept it. I felt guilty because of how I left but now I've been back for a year and it has been nothing but struggles. When I was in LA everything was just coming to me and it scared me. I was able to able to make a living with no hesitation and I met some amazing people. Now I feel like I'm back and nothing is the same and I'm settling in my dead end town because of running from the unknown.

Man oh man ! It’s not by happenstance that I came across this video. This is an amazing and enlightening conversation. I’m going through this and have been through all these mindsets. It’s like the Lord is showing me how my thinking is detrimental to my calling and purpose. I’m so use to staying in the familiar although it’s toxic versus obeying the Holy Spirit and listening 👂🏽 to him instruct me on a new path that GOD has for me. This an excellent video. Thank you so much ladies. I needed this. This has encouraged me to go forth and don’t Look back .

[@brittanyb9292]

This was so good the process it always difficult but the peace it give and joy make you want to be obedient and not go back also trusting is a big thing when walking with God into the unknown the enemy will want you go back to the old you

[@iamcurtisbryant]

This video and conversation is for me. I will be following a word from God to also move to LA this fall. God hasn’t given me no details but there’s a warm feeling that LA is going to be a beautiful surprise. I have to obey because my time in New York (which he called me back to right before the pandemic) is up now. Life is to be lived. And yea peace is a blessing but as believers and Christians we are destined to break curses and go to new levels by being scared and trying new things . He will always catch us.
