I used to put my "friends" on a pedestal, God set me free.

[@iamazania]

I still be doing that.But if the Lord can do it for you,He can do it for me.Thank you for your testimony,God bless.

[@lh9424]

amen

[@itzbloux2732]

Hi im struggling with my walk. I gave up smoking and partying and a lot of being with men that only brought harm. But im still struggling with certain things like lust, overeating, vaping etc and i dont know if im a good Christian or doing the will of God i just need advice as most of my friends are worldly but im a single mum now and dont really hang around with them that much anymore can you please pray for me

[@Phoenixfishart]

You are loved by God and he sees you even in your struggles. I'm sorry you have to go through all of that. Remember what God says about you and remember the spiritual battle God has given us the power to win. But I must note that, there is no such thing as a good Christian, we are all in need of God's grace which he gives freely so no one can claim they earned it. And God will help you progress but people will never be perfect. Stay strong. It often will not be easy but it is worth it, always. ❤❤❤

[@itzbloux2732]

@Phoenixfishart Thank you so much I believe he is changing me i just tend to be hard on myself when i fall short

[@Phoenixfishart]

@@itzbloux2732 haha yeah I think we can all relate to that. Just know that God can change that mindset too, and he will, it will all just take time. ( I needed to hear this too honestly, it is SO HARD to wait for God to change you but so worth it)

[@finnrider777]

Your not the only one struggling sister. If it's ok can we pray for each other?

[@itzbloux2732]

@finnrider2195 Of course it is ok. Heavenly Father we come to you humbly as we are struggling right now. Please continue to be our strength when we are weak. Help us soften our hearts and fix our eyes on you and your will. We know that you Father will never leave nor forsake us so help us to remain steadfast and rooted in you as we continue our walk whilst picking up our cross. Let us be filled with your word and hope to drive temptation out. We pray this in Jesus' name Amen

[@briannamahario119]

I was just thanking God for this. After loosing all my previous girl friends, I was hurt and sad. I prayed and prayed and was stuck on what did I do wrong. Then God spoke to me and told me if I can change you in a season what makes you think I can’t change your circle. So after surrendering to God and just waiting. Mind you the wait was about a year. He brought me an amazing girl friend. And it’s started with me randomly asking her if she’s found a church yet. When I tell you God is good. All this to say, God has a plan for every aspect of your life and by waiting in faith he will always provide.

[@lumalah9144]

Wait I have a question I am kind of in the same situation. I’m in college rn as a second year got cut off because she didn’t want to lead me on but I can’t help but feel things were unfinished…did u just read only hit her up on a social media or what? I don’t want to hit her up when she is still not sure about herself or her morals

[@kailaniward4101]

Thank you for your encouragement. I pray that God continues to bless you both as you grow together!

[@littleveech]

Amennnnnnn ♥️✨

[@laonerreotsile2588]

This had me assessing my friendships 😭

[@bernardwilliams4071]

When you said you still have worldly friends but you not going to pour into them and they can't receive it felt that.

[@projbynoc6004]

Wow.. I just talked about this the other day. God will have you walking solo for some time just to regulate you, balance you. And then get you back in line and put the right ppl around you for this life journey. ❤❤❤ I love Love!

[@Annge2078]

this came at the right timeeee EMY! i am in these fase that i am pulling away from my friends and not because there are bad friends but because i need to know who I AM true christ alone. Friends can't fill the void.

[@MemeAlison]

You said “this will be somebodies answered prayers” and oh yes it was👏🏾 thank you em!❤

[@festinehanson.236]

I love how real you are and I love how you aren’t scared or ashamed to share your story and im also getting closer to Christ and I’m loving this whole podcasttt!

[@chloemayfield2005]

This message could have not come at a better time I have really been thinking about this topic lately loved your insight!

[@nokuthulamthimkhulu8008]

I'm praying for friends who will be good for my soul and i too to them 🙏🙏🙏

[@lh9424]

God's perfect timing! Was just thinking earlier today about how people are like mirrors and any light we see (or dont see) in them is just a reflection of who they're surrounded by. And just yesterday I was thinking about my ability to be alone and asking God to help me see who my friends really are/aren't/should be/shouldn't be. Keep spreading His love emmy

[@cerenasejour]

This was such an on time message. I’ve been praying to God for friendships not even realizing he’s also my friend this video was such a blessing 🦋

[@janaeokey8888]

I always have a great time and learn so much when I watch these episodes. Thank you God for using emy as a vessel.

[@nellyy-y]

i love ur podcasts so much!!!

[@k.legacy7122]

Thank you for this! I really needed to hear this

[@ziadawn_]

My friend group from high school is falling apart and i am sandwiched in between. This is a very timely podcast for me. Thank you so much. I realized that in friendships when you are stuck between unwanted options, then the best choice is to choose God and He will show you the truth. ❤

[@beautylicioussllc]

Always drop what I need to hear. Thank you ❤

[@gracefrank6142]

Wow. You were really speaking directly to me with this one lol. Like word for word what I’m learning and realizing currently. Right now I don’t want to full blown cut them off but I do need to set boundaries and say no to them more

[@littleveech]

"I used to be scared of my.ken heart beat" I FELT THATTT. I never thought about it as a reminder of the Holy Spirit being with me. I really needed to hear that, ♥️✨

[@BandileDladla-dj8sq]

Thank you for this man

[@NovaSaeed30]

This is amazing thank you so so much 🙏🙏

[@Valenciaatmako]

We need a part 2 of this bruv ❤ what a heart filled conversation. Glory be unto God!

This one was such a blessing for me it’s on time 😅 best podcast I ever listen this month

[@user-gl9np6zi1z]

Been looking for a podcast finally found one thx for this sis💜📖🕯

[@delaneyrollinss]

This was too good. Like I’m such in awe how the Lord works still.

[@jasmingarcia5754]

Ooooof god new I needed this one.

[@vonknee]

before coming to Christ , i also used to put my friends on a pedestal . it was my friends over everything ; they helped distract me from my own problems , or just reinforce how i felt about myself in the moment . now after being lukewarm + actually living for Christ for a few months now , i'm definitely still in a process of sanctification so i'm definitely FAR from blameless , but i prayed that *ONE* prayer and my friendships have definitely shifted ! i have two lukewarm friends and a friend that believes in a higher power but doesn't necessarily subscribe to a belief . interestingly enough , the nonbeliever friend is biblically wiser than my two lukewarm friends and show the most fruits of the holy spirit . i pray often that Christ reveals Himself to them and draws them near so that He can draw near and they get to know Him , and i just feel it in my spirit that Christ is changing their heart without them realizing ! i also pray for my lukewarm friends as well , as they're probably scared to come to Christ like i was . i talk my nonbeliever friend more than my lukewarm friends as my nonbeliever friend has more Christ-centered values and beliefs like me , which makes it easier for us to talk about things that matter like valuing a family / community , not valuing things like p*rn and online dating , and why it's important to not be so arrogant and give to others * examples * ; and not necessarily about which artist just dropped an album or what a celebrity is doing on twitter . we also are both on a path to bettering ourselves by consuming less social media , building better habits , making sure we're consuming media that helps us grow mentally , etc. while encouraging each other in the process . i say all this to say i'm surprised but also not surprised . i know the Lord has done it , i truly do - it's only a matter of time before my friend lives for Christ , but at the same time i have no idea what direction my friendships are going to go in for the future , but i know i have the Father and His will is always good .

[@alaynahfuller3254]

Emy!! I loved this episode so much! I prayed right before watching this, for God to speak to me, and he did through you! I just want to say keep up the good work and let God continue using you.

[@naomisuzanne]

blessed with only the best and nothing less.

[@sylkylacole]

Speaking on some real stuff!!! I love your podcast (I'm new around here :))

[@bethanyfielder5603]

Yo the devil is alive these ads pop up during prayer almost every time 🤧 anyway bless you emy the Lord is working through you ❤

[@finnrider777]

What's good Emy. 40 years of this hard journey but we will be more than conquers!!!!! All glory to The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

[@judymailo]

Your amazing!❤❤❤

[@user-zr8hi3qx1f]

Hey girl! Love your episodes. I think a very relevant topic for women right now is vanity and obsession with appearance. Was hoping you could make an episode about this.

[@giannafelicissimo6081]

God bless you love

[@every1lovesmeeee]

[@jeniphercastillo3566]

[@wallflower777]

This was so good! ❤

[@godlovesmegodiswithme]

love your vids so sos o much girl i fr no lie have no friends and the only ones ive had were because of drugs and codependency and when i was lost i would look at people in a very narcotic way i think idk but that they would just leave and i was gonna be alone forever , i thANk god he pulled me out of the muck and i get this chance to treat myself and others with love and respect , i thank god he choose you to speak on this because i have recently started going to church and meeting people and its a empowering thing to think i can fr be a good friend with the power of christ , theres some old people i would smoke with there but was never close to them too much but its like a test of faith and judgement , i really dont wanna fall into old ways again or even think wrong of someone just because of what ive seen from them , i pray for god to help me and all of us to be a better and holy friend that helps all and everyone to fully come into the calling of christ.amen

[@lovefromp]

girl you are on fire !!!!!

[@Emiliaa_xx3]

Amen! Your words really touched me. I'm still young, I'm almost 15 years old, so it's really hard to maintain my life in Christ. Recently, my friend literally insulted me and everyone started talking about me behind my back when I hadn't done anything yes my own friends. I cried and of course prayed with all my might and asked God for an answer, to help me and that's also when I came across your video! Thank God for putting me on your path

[@93anagirl]

I’m 30 and I can tell you that Highschool isn’t ‘the real world’ yet and those friends may not be your true friends or people you will associate with after you graduate. I struggled a lot in school and cared more about what others thought than my own happiness, peace and health. Stay true to yourself no matter what and try to focus on God and your peace and everything else will fall into place. Those friends might not like it, and in that case, who cares b/c that means they arent the right people for you. Its hard to do this in school because you cant get away from them but trust me it will make you stronger. I wish thats what I did back in HS and actually stood up for myself and learned how not to let others impact me internally. If you stay true, you will come out of school stronger than any of those friends ever will. They want to put you down, dont let them. Your self worth is not dependent on them, only on God. When you set your boundaries, people will be forced to respect you and you will have your peace. Good luck and remember that there is a life after high school, things will always get better ♥️ btw, still learning this even at 30… so be kind to yourself ☀️

I felt that is spoken on my relationship. But uts true and I let go of that friend just last week. She was seeking the attention of IDK who and prayed salvatiob prayer and not believe. I helf unto the friendship because I thought this friend needed me and I put her needs above worshipping God so I had a terrible time whenever shes around when I am in the service hall. There was 3 friends/leaders that spoken about just unfriend if you're having an unbeneficial friendship to your worship. I did that and my mind was clearer so much that I can look into my oen life and desl with my sins.

[@princesskingx2378]

I personally don't think it's our part to say that "this person doesn't love God"... These journies are personal, jwe really don't know what people do in their private spaces. Its all about praying to God to speak to them louder so they can testify his greatness unashamed. Sometimes God uses us to speak through to those friends we "judge" or try to diagnose of demons. Let's focus more on ourselves rather

[@teetee4185]

It’s all about the fruits. You can tell by their fruits.

[@princesskingx2378]

[@nathaliecordova9668]

You mentioned in one of your episodes that you have daddy issues and it affected your relationship with men. Could you do a video on this ? I struggle with the same. God is putting me in my season of isolation and it’s scary because I don’t like being alone. To a point where I have allowed men to use me for my body simply to feel some type of affection.

[@missashleylon]

[@lexxthegreatt]

I feel like I’m surrounded by Godless men and woman. I feel like I cut off a lot people due to me doing all the pouring into and they have no intention of loving themselves or God fully. I’m being intentional on not making “friend” from a place of abandonment and rejection which has me making friends with non equally yoked woman.

Hi. I'm really struggling with my walk with Christ. I initially returned to the Lord in 2023 and I also got baptised that year and since then it's been hard for me like really hard coz I keep falling back to sin and I become extremely hard on myself to a point where it affects my mental health. And it's hard because the words "what kind of Christian are you who goes to church on Sunday to just return to sin on Tuesday" so guys any advice on this one. Please help me.

Its gotten better now but it still rlly hurts i dont know who my friends are and who arent, i want to leave the friend group but im scared im going to be bullied for sitting alone, im scared they talk about me behinde my back . i prayed to God that He may give me a best friend that will lead me closer to Him annd for me to finally feel free but it feels like theres no one who is on fire for God at school .Im lost and i cant speack to anyone about my emotions because i know that it will spread and people will make rumors of me😔

He will send someone to you! I had a similar problem a few years back i felt like I didn't belong in my friend group and for years prayed to God that I would have a Christian friend and although it's not a lot he finally gifted me one, so I wholeheartedly believe he'll send someone to you, someone who will bring you closer to himself why wouldn't he

Heyy, when your nose is itchy it is the Holy Spirit giving you decernment and letting you know he’s there. He is also giving you the breath of life. Genesis 2:7 “the LORD God formed the man [5] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” The Lord is breathing his breath into your nostrils causing them to itchy 🤍

[@nnchayes.]

3:04 I respect your thoughts on the subject of obedience ( structuring your message towards looking at Gods greatness versus commanding your flock or ministry to act or behave in a certain way ) But If I may - we don't get into heaven with just our eyes or ears. We see how God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy spirit move, and isn't the mission after ingesting His word from the word, or through His pastors, or however else He chooses to use us, to confess with our mouth "jesus is Lord," and believe in pur heart that God raised him from the dead. Perhaps your new structure of faithful teaching, is focused on gathering people to look at the actions of God, speak on the behavior of Jesus Christ, faithfully believing that through Him, the Holy Spirit will be set aflame in them, urging the people to the singular action that will indeed save their souls.

I STARTED FALLING FOR HIM WHICH TURNED TO OBSESSION. MY OBSESSION GOT SO BAD THAT IT MADE HIM DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM ME AND WHEN THAT HAPPENED I DISCONNECTED FROM GOD. IT WAS THEN I REALISED IT WAS HIM I WAS WORSHIPPING AND NOT GOD. I STOPPED CHASING THE MAN AND DREW A LINE, WE COOL NOW AND I'M NOW STANDING FIRM ON MY WALK WITH CHRIST ALONE NOW
