HalleluYAH! 😇 APHGTTTMHYAH 👑

[@almacuffy2597]

I ❤️ how you always put God first in all your videos...❤❤

[@BallroomLilliesandHydrangeas]

I love it too 🤗

[@tiffanyrandall538]

I know right I love it too..😊

[@twylerbussey2316]

Love how you always acknowledge that it’s God’s blessings over your life! Love watching you two

[@promiseviewacres]

This stuff is too good for me to have come up with it on my own! It’s all Him!

[@patriciadavis6583]

I’m so glad you were able to get your Mama Black to allow you to use her backyard to begin what God had for you to do. Thank you Mrs. Black for your trust in the Lord to allow your son-in-law realize his calling. This video was a true blessing to hear Mrs. Black call the garden her restoration! Please keep these videos coming. I love to hear your walk with the Lord‼️🙏🏾

[@Bmf214]

Just a small suggestion….if you would like to see the channel grow and the couple thrive in their work just like video, (give it a thumbs up) share with friends and family and comments are good for the algorithm as well so make a comment and share something. It’s a way to give back for what they give us…

[@ramtallen]

Yes and watch the advertisements to their end which contributes to income their able to detivefrom the advertisers.

[@Life_BE_Phenomenal]

@@ramtallenI just watched an Airbnb based ad and thought I would… then another one popped up and was much shorter thank goodness 🙌🙌

[@Life_BE_Phenomenal]

It’s such a shame when the younger generation want to start most things they’re faced with so much opposition from the people who later benefit the most from it. Let’s go people it’s time to encourage and cheer one another on 🙌🙌

[@PeaceLikeNoOther_DeidreParker]

OMG 😳 If I had not been looking directly at the T.V., I would have thought that was Symone talking! 🥰 Thank you Momma Black for saying YES! I loved everything about this video! What a testimony! So inspirational! This will bless so many people! 🙌🏽👏🏽❤❤❤

[@promiseviewacres]

It’s crazy isn’t it!? Symone, Momma Black and her sister Mariah all sound the EXACT same!

[@janeswarts5021]

I thought so to till I looked

[@e5581]

I said the same thing the voices are so similar

[@joycenyangweso9377]

So am not the only one who said to myself... She sounds just lk her daughter

[@BrooklynLilly]

Exaclythe same voice and mannerisms😮

[@molesiabaptiste6785]

This is the purest, most beautiful thing I’ve seen in such a long time. So much positivity, love, blessing, testimony, family, warmth, friendship and care to unpack here 🙏🏾

[@__lolaofficial]

I literally started crying when Gerald was telling his testimony! Holy Spirit was definitely speaking to me about my situation fr 🙏🏽🔥

[@tabithadee392]

Yes absolutely

[@patjones7168]

That was an awesome testimony Gerald! Thank you mama Black for your yes, that planted seeds towards the vision God gave your son in law and beautiful daughter Symone! Well done!!

[@carolynyoung5844]

I wanted to get up and take a lap around my house. I felt like I was listening to parts of a sermon and I loved it. 😊 Thanks for sharing mama Black with us. It’s was nice to hear how it all started.

[@promiseviewacres]

😂☺️ thank you for taking the time to listen and continuing to drop off kind and encouraging words!

[@Anti-democratChick]

The garden looks great. Yummy, fresh foods. It would be nice to see Mama Black clean and prepare a meal. ❤

[@Sakina-367]

Thank you for sowing the seeds of truth and sharing your testimony of the goodness of God. I don’t know about anyone else I surely needed to be reminded of how to steward the little. God bless you and Symone.

[@BallroomLilliesandHydrangeas]

😌 I just love this young couple. They always have an insightful, encouraging message about God. What an amazing testimony! 🥰 I am looking forward to seeing how God continues to pour into them. 🥦🥑🍏🍋🍐

[@pauletteapril-criddell6346]

Gerald and Symone your videos never disappoint!!! This video blessed my soul! Thank you for being obedient to the voice of God and sharing your story. ❤🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@gwendolynrobinson3580]

Young man, you are about to make me shout. Lord continually Bless this man. God loves you. Lord ain’t nothing like a spiritual man. I love it. I’m 64 and love y’all videos ♥️♥️

[@yaqary694]

This video truly blessed me in ways you can't even imagine. YOU, YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY are SEEDS. You are planting some strong roots and I truly thank The Most High for finding your channel.

[@marcopolo1355]

You both are just so comfortable talking to a camera such a natural conversation

[@misschris1980]

It IS time to steward well! A word received. Bless ya'll.

[@ChatwithTrish]

I just want to thank you for being obedient and allowing God to use you all. This video blessed me tremendously, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect! I hear the Lord loud and clear!🙏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

[@Inspire_andrew]

Thank you ❤for this amazing and right on time message! My wife and I just went out looking for a bigger home, but not knowing that God would send you with this message pertaining to being faithful with the little. Wow thank you again and God continue to bless you both!

[@elhuertodeivy1422]

Hermosa lección!! Beautiful lesson! I felt your Momma black joy!! How beautiful is learning from our God!

[@trea_h]

Okay Pastor! 👏🏾 Thank you for this beautiful message & Symone sound like her mama, too cute

[@Anti-democratChick]

He definitely reminds me of a Pastor. Every time I see them I think "Pastor and First Lady Symone!" 🎉

[@jennd3423]

Thank you for that reminder that we should be good stewards of what God has already given us. Its so easy in this world to fall into envy and wanting more.

[@RelishThisMoment]

Amen! ❤

[@sreamingonline6160]

Amen and blessing to y’all. I don’t have any acres, not even half an acre but I do grow and I get just as excited every time I’m harvesting. I grow squash, zucchini, potatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and this was my first year trying corn. I’ve been growing the rest in northwest Indiana for some time now and I was so happy to throw that corn on the grill I took pictures and called my mom! If you want to go for a challenge, I got 2 banana plants a couple weeks ago from a pro Gardner, again in northwest Indiana, yes. They are doing so good but I’m going to have to work hard to keep them through the winter. God willing, we will be successful. Keep doing what you’re doing guys and God will continue to bless your path

[@JustinJoubert-hu1rf]

Great people and even greater testimony! This is what a biblical story of faith looks like in modern times!

[@stacycedwards]

Speak Lord!🙏🏽🙌🏾 Your servants are listening. Help us to be good and faithful servants ' for real' in Jesus' name. God bless you both, look what the Lord has done. Always so blessed by watching God work in and through you both to will and to do for His good pleasure [Philippians 2:13]💕🌈

[@ka8673]

Bless the Lord! This testimony is so relatable and inspiriing. I pray that God continues to fill your cup. Thank you for allowing Him to use you to point others to Him.

[@TOMMYBITESHOMESTEAD]

Morning, this video has truly blessed my mindset. It kept popping up and I did not click. I don’t know why because I always watch y’all videos. Maybe because I was feeling down because my father died last week and is being buried Wednesday. Whatever it was, God kept sending this one video to my timeline. So today I clicked and could not turn it off even watched the ads. The things you said were hitting me like a brick, it was like the words were all words I had been trying to come up with for things I have been feeling and going through, but just couldn’t figure it out. I think the Lord was speaking through you to me. Stop searching for the next thing and take care of the things I have blessed you with. The home you prayed for, the garden you prayed for. I thank you so much for allowing The Lord to use you to reach others because it has reached me if no one else. I watched that film months ago and felt like I can’t do that, but I must do better. Much love to you and your beautiful family❤🙏🏽

[@sovereigneats]

Thank you for leading with clear vision. Thank you Simone for being that rib. I am grateful for your gardening, family and wisdom.

[@kirkhambrown7276]

[@judywaikiki2450]

Thank you Jesus for your channel and all the blessings that come with it. I was wondering about that exact abundance in my life and at 68 I was never so open to God as I am right now, this season is amazing and you have just confirmed it right here right now Halelujah 🌺

[@promiseviewacres]

[@swonsley245]

At my age, this message truly blessed me! A real light bulb moment! Thank you for your obedience to share! IJN Amen

[@kevinware4476]

This was truly an inspirational testimony you just shared. I am very proud and happy for you guys my brother. Our Father YAH'S promise to his people that seek him first has clearly been demonstrated not only in your obedience but your ongoing faith. Your faith was immediately followed by your works, which manifested into life more abundantly in more ways than one. Lord Willing I will be sharing a similar testimony very soon to whom YAH will receive ALL THE GLORY. We walk by FAITH and not by sight! FATHER YAH'S PERFECT TIMING!

My son (David) was very much like you...he rec'd athletic college scholarships & straight A student, he had a heat stroke on the football field (PVA&M) just after his 20th birthday in Aug04. He died in Dec 2004. Such a refreshing soothing relief to see your outstanding life achievements & life journeys. Just exactly what my dreams were for David. I feel truly blessed to have coincidentally click on your channel - God knows your heart desires!✝️ Thank you soooo much for allowing me much joy & the visits with you & family! Love y'all & you make me proud!🌹✝️

That is AWESOME! I'm trying with my little garden. This gives me hope. Mama Black, that's my morning routine too. Barefooted, in the grass, coffee ,listening to the word/ gospel music ❤️

[@simplyorganizedanddesigned369]

There is nothing better!

[@Bookib]

Bless yall for this message. This really spoke to my soul. Sometimes I feel so far away from my dreams and I lose faith. But you’re right, I need to start small and slowly build and show the lord that I am thankful for the things I have. Instead of always feeling like I need more. ❤

[@tulsacaupain2882]

Keep going ❤

[@wade45o]

Gerald you have an amazing relationship with Mama Black❤❤❤, God bless you all

[@marjchisholm6770]

Beautiful teaching today..Lord help me to take care of what's right in front and be content with it! Amen

[@angehs7647]

Thank you for teaching/reminding me to be faithful to the small things that have been entrusted to me. Even at 74 God may still want to entrust me with more. Bless you. ❤

[@TiffTALKS22]

What a POWERFUL message!! Sooo glad I watched. Was LITERALLY just "fussin" at my mama about being responsibly resourceful. I had my earbuds in & you were saying what I was trying to convey to her! So i hit her with that Bible word. That ALWAYS invokes reflection when I do it that way so she know I ain't just fussin😂 Thank you SO much for sharing this well-composed video. The interview insert with Symone's voice twin was pretty awesome too!😂💜🙏🏽

[@RedRockRanchAL]

Yall have done an amazing job.. we definitely will be putting some garden tips and layout tips we learned from your channel in our homestead that we are building... and we will document and share just like yall.. Thanks!!

[@elaineb3215]

What an amazing testimony! I was waiting for some more.I really love the way you prayed, seeked God and when he told you what to do and how, you moved on it. I'm so happy for you and Simone. To be young and so full of wisdom and understanding is such a blessing. Keep moving forward with God leading you and you can't go wrong. I look forward to placing my order for some juice. This is just the beginning. God is gonna give you great and mighty things because he knows you're gonna use it for the healing of the nation. Grace, peace and prosperity, Ms Elaine in North Carolina.

What a POWERFUL message about stewardship! Thank you for breaking it down so simply.

Сильно удивлён и рад, что так сказать на западе люди занимаются садом и огородом с такой любовью и интересом. Очень развито продумано и красиво. От души. Поддержка от меня садовода.

[@BallroomLilliesandHydrangeas]

Me too! 🤗

[@farmermarshall]

First let me say that Mama Black has amazing skin!!! This is your best video! It inspired me. I'm getting compost & wood chips this weekend. Your message really reached me. Bless you & Symone with a Y.❤

[@C2CDisciple]

I was just telling my wife it would be cool if some of these channels would do an origins video and you just went and did it. You and your wife are definitely good stewards of what God has given you. The way y'all give Him the Glory is such a wonderful testament. My wife and I have a garden, I grew up with and have had larger gardens on acreage and I know how it can be...learning to and praying to be a good steward with the small things again...planting that seed. Looking at your hoop house and knowing that y'all had issues with deer, I thought a solar powered electric fence line would keep them out. Just a single wire maybe attached on the inside to the galvanized poles so the plastic could still be rolled up and down. Just thinking out loud and throwing that out there. Wife and I really enjoy your channel. Pete & Suad

[@hardDtube]

🙏🏾 Thank you for sharing your story .

[@Minamac1Cali]

This by far was one of the most Blessed and Beautiful video I truly enjoyed watching. I do love watching you guys weekly and appreciate you guys sharing the goodness of Jesus and all that he has done. In my grandma voice “My soul cries out Hallelujah thank God for saving me🙏🏽

The way God is showing himself through you both!!! The word works and it’s such a beautiful blessing to see it manifest itself in your lives!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@marykate4048]

I love, love this video. I was smiling ear to ear listening to Mama Black and how she developed her love for growing food. Thank you Gerald for this testimony and thanks to Mama Black for giving you a chance with her backyard. It is life to grow your food as much as you are able to. You and your wife, Symone are a blessing.

[@lawrencelong1412]

Gerald and Simone, this video was awesome! You shared the biblical truths with such clarity and your testimonies interweaved throughout made the entire video seamless. I actually stopped watching the video to find the documentary back to Eden, and with that context I went immediately back to your video. Doing this helped me not only hear the biblical truths but understand the very practical application and how it all reveals the nature of God! He REALLY IS GOOD! So much better than we give him credit for. Your dynamic with your mother in law was precious and inspiring. Tour closing monologue caused me to stop and pray that the Lord would make me the type of person that stewards the small things well. I’m going to steward what He has given better! Thank you guys for stewarding well your KZbin platform, it’s a beautifully effective pulpit! May the Lord continue to bless your lives greatly. Lastly, I’m looking forward to the time that you guys are able to open up your property for guests. My wife and I would love to be one of your earliest visitors. Thanks for your examples of excellence! Lawrence Long

[@erinwhitley920]

This is incredible and so encouraging. We have land now but for some reason the fear of not knowing where to begin is keeping me from moving forward. It’s my dream to have a garden to remember my grandma and her faith. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@promiseviewacres]

We have not been given a spirit of fear, but of sound mind! Just start somewhere and let the Spirit lead from there! Buy a seed, plant it, learn and go! You are MORE than capable! MORE than a conqueror in Christ! Walk in it!

[@latoyajohnson6536]

[@promiseviewacres]

Our pleasure! Thank you for hanging with us!

[@vanessas.6893]

This was a wonderful testimony and confirmation for me. I have recently began to include in my daily prayers to consistently be a good steward with what I have and receive in the future by God's blessings. I also include this when writing in my gratitude journal each morning. You are a wonderful young couple. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@Oliverhikes11]

Beautiful. We’re all blessed you’re here. Thank you.

[@GoshenHideaway]

Love your story, thank you so much for sharing! ♥️ Abundant blessings.

[@lovelylady6063]

Gerald and Symone, thank God for you as young people sharing about good stewardship. Last year I started what I call my windowsill garden. The love ❤❤ I feel just looking and caring for it is amazing. I pray that many will appreciate the humble beginnings of God's grace and just start somewhere. ❤❤❤❤❤you guys and momma Black for sharing her testimony. Continue to inspire us.

[@angelaburrell-lewis5712]

So true. Gerald, you are right . During covid, I started to my vegetables garden in our backyard. At this time, I have ×4 bath tubs added x2 4ft x 8 foot garden beds, 32ft garden bed by the back fence, plus smaller container gardens. It really brings peace to my soul each and every day. Cooking food from our garden makes me feel so happy,blessed, and rich . Knowing that our produce is mainly enriched by my homemade fertilizers, compost, and fish fertilizer makes me feel healthy. My husband is even more lenient about losing his lawn space because he's enjoying the fruits of our garden. I still need to get a lot of wood chips, my next step. Glory be to God for all his provisions 😊

[@inspiredby_thewords]

Praise the Lord for your faith snd obedience 🙌

[@dinashackleton7888]

Hey little brother in Christ I’m in the process of growing my food and wanting to make that a lifestyle too. It’s been a desire of mine for a long time but now more than ever I am determined. I love watching you guys. It is so inspiring and I’m so proud of the wonderful obedient young people that you are to Christ, having the right partner to step out on faith with you is a gift. Don’t take it for granted. Please continue to show us how to cultivate growing food to table.

[@debravotor9982]

Gerald and Symone, I enjoy and look forward to your videos every week. This week's video however, jerked the slack out of me. I have been BLESSED with much, but instead of being thankful and taking care of it, I have become overwhelmed by it. In light of this week's video, I am going to be more thankful and a much better steward of what the LORD has BLESSED me with. I thank God so much for using you to snap me back to reality. I to want to hear well done good and faithful servant.❤

[@onitabrown1102]

I agree, Gerald. That Back to Eden flick inspired me as well. I’ve always wanted a garden, but seeing that made me even more determined to make it happen and believe that God could bless it. I think God starts revealing and starts dropping nuggets when we’re on the right path. I haven’t reached my destination yet, but I’m following the journey where God is leading me, and the destination will be revealed in time. You and Symone stay connected to the Lord. Thrive, thrive, thrive! I pray for abundance and favor for both of you. I love watching your journey. Even at my age, God continues to amaze me. I know He can do anything, but sometimes, That scripture "exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think"-catch me off guard. LOL! Keep loving on the Father and encouraging others.

[@NyrusThomas]

I LOVE IT DOING IT MYSELF GROWING MY OWN GARDEN. I LOVE FISHING 🎣 MY GRANDPARENTS. SHOW ME FROM A CHILD AND IT STUCK WITH ME I DIDN'T USE UNTIL YEARS LATER. 😮THE JOY IT BRINGS ME.

[@ashanti.ariana]

This blessed me so much!! I’m going through a season of focusing in on - and improving - small things in my life right now. Coming from a place of laziness and procrastination for YEARS, I feel by the grace of God I’m finally breaking out of it. One small thing is taking a leap starting a container garden with potatoes! Thank you both soo so much for sharing your testimonies & the blessings the Lord has granted you all, it helps more than you know 🙏🏽❤️

[@dimplesfriday-smith320]
