HOW TO GET CLOSER TO GOD IN 2024 | exit your lukewarm era & become on fire for God!

[@Itssimplynicole17]

The way the devil did NOT want me to hear this word. First, it was a psychic ad popping up before the video. Then, the video would not load. I have never had any issues with my WiFi until this video. But God stepped in and not only made the video work but allowed my Velcro baby to be content as I watch this video🩷 thank you for this video, Maya! It was much needed 🩷

[@jaysamuels]

Girl! The video keep freezing and buffering! Had to rebuke whatever evil spirit is trying to block the blessing Maya had in store

[@God-s.butterfly]

My father passed away on Sunday the 11th of feb,,and that prayer was like you knew exactly what im feeling,I’ve been holding back on watching but now I’m glad im here

[@seeseewashere]

God less you! Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.”

[@katiesmart]

sending love and prayers to you 🤍

[@shaylow8938]

Maya, God is speaking through you and we definitely hear it. You glow so brightly when you speak about the goodness of our Lord and Savior ❤ Your beautiful spirit is contagious and your words are well received. Continue following this wonderful forever changing journey in the goodness of the Lord. I can truly say this message was right on time. As we know God is ALWAYS RIGHT ON TIME and we never know who will deliver the message that we need to hear. Just know that you have touched many hearts today with a message that will help guide those willing to receive to a place of peace, joy and love and understanding. ❤ Forever blessing to you and the family.

[@mishailamcfadden]

I remember watching your how to grow closer to God video about 3 years ago with your blonde bob and I’ve been here ever since it was so helpful girl 😅

[@GESxO]

Perfect timing. I needed this. Thank you Maya, God bless you and your family ❤

[@cieciecherie4361]

Wow god is definitely talking to me. I've been on the journey to get closer to god and I've been lost. I'm happy that you posted this!

[@juaneishaa]

same here , gods timing is always right!!!

[@Ashley-ri2wc]

Looking forward to more of the Holy Girl chat series! Your walk with Christ is so inspiring. Like you, I’m from NY and now live in Atlanta since 2019. Seeing you and watching your story is so encouraging. I’m exiting a season (that I put myself in unknowingly) of self-preservation and isolation and God is yelling at me at this point lol to find community and Kingdom-minded women as a circle of influence. This vid is another sign that I need to sign up to serve at my church in Marietta and quit playing around! I’m 32 and your level of wisdom at 21 is … whew! God bless you & your family!

[@Hello50000]

Thank you so much for this video. I have definitely been struggling lately with trusting in God and letting go and letting him take control. I’m so used to taking control and knowing what’s next and trying to plan everything. When I don’t have that control I start to spiral and I become very anxious and even depressed. I’ve been listening to my Bible app, and listening to the devotionals on it. I also read my devotional books, and just trying to immerse myself in God’s word I can let go. It is so hard. It can be especially hard when you don’t feel like you don’t have that much control over your life to begin with. I am very grateful for taking time and making things video. May God continue to bless you, your family, and friends. Thank you.❤️

[@ms.chaliahdejean850]

I pray that you will fully surrender everything to God. This is definitely a struggle of mine but we will overcome. God bless ❤ 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ❤

[@user-bk6hq6ej6h]

Not me eating at the part where you said we’re gluttons 😂😂😂😭 but thank you for you obedience to God. I needed to hear all that ❤️❤️‍🩹

[@ArreyNicole_]

You have been on your zoooommmm🥹 I’m so so so proud of you in pushing and fighting through for yourself and for us!! Just know your hard work never goes unnoticed we love you down ❤️🫶🏾 thank you for being one of the best aspects of my Sunday and every day after 💗

[@kaylajohnson9225]

Your walk with Christ really encourages me! Keep going Maya, you are amazing! ❤

[@dearchance1574]

Maya! Thank you for this video. I desire to immerse myself more in the Lord. Thank you for your encouragement, advice, and reminders that doing so will not happen over night but it will happen. I am currently working on my second Master’s degree and endorsement, a full time preschool teacher, a wife, and a mother to three kids 7,5,and 2. I tried waking up early in the mornings to “fit God in” am was failing abundantly. Now here I am listening to you say “there is not a schedule for God.” Therefore, I can come to him while I am getting dressed, getting my kids dressed, driving in to work, or even the hour I sit in my classroom before my students arrive. In my mind, I had to plan time to have with God when in actuality that time is anytime of my day. Thank you so much for that.

[@Karlisa]

Maya, I just watched your 1st video on this topic! It was your public declaration of making more God centered content & He promised you would touch millions of lives! Seeing God fulfill that and the growth in you has been soo beautiful to watch❤️🥹 God bless you

[@MayaGraves]

Ahhhh this warmed my heartttt🥺🤍

[@analea6531]

God knew I needed to listen to this today. I also started my walk with Christ in 2020 and sometimes I still get lukewarm especially when I see people in the world happy and thriving. I have to remind myself that greater is the one in heaven than the one in the world. Thank you for this reminder and to God be all the glory ❤

[@AkiRosalia]

Thank You for this. This felt like listening to an older sister talk to me. I started my journey in September 2021. It will be three years on the 21st but I just lost my fire in 2022. I have been struggling to come back and with lust so bad. I just feel not worth or deserving of His Kingdom. Like I'll never measure up or overcome this sin. But watching this video gave me hope 💗

[@KrissysLifestyle23KL]

I love Dr Myles Monroe 🙏🏽 such an inspirational man… I really needed this video. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@luztraver3295]

Enjoy your week ahead ❤ what a great way to start my work week. Love & blessings

[@biancatruitt7305]

Thank you for this video, I woke up feeling like the worst version of me. Cried for two hours eyes baggy 😂 but I prayed I fasted I listened to some gospel and to top it off I clicked on this video! Keep posting maya

[@Xoxannalisa]

I was just watching your vids back in 2020 on your faith journey and I was like I wish she had vids like that now .. and you just made this ! Wow God works in mysterious ways !!!

[@EBM0424]

The timing of this is SO on point. An hour or two ago I just thought to myself how I can get more of God as a new wife and mother. Been feeling off the wagon spiritually since I had so many life changes so quickly and making time for God has been tricky….but God answers those prayers for sure, even when we don’t ask him 🙌🏽

[@elani9624]

ive been watching you for so long and i’ve always looked up to you like a sister. you’ve truly inspired me to love myself more and grow a closer relationship with God. thank you much and i’m so proud of youu 💗💗💗

[@camyspivey]

Omg! Sooo I’ve been a little MIA from KZbin but it’s just amazing that now that I’ve returned to checking in on my KZbin faves they are in the same stage in their journey. God knows what he’s doing for sure. And I’m happy I followed you a long time ago. 💕

[@delisataylor9887]

This was absolutely RICH to my spirit! I pray God continues to bless your ministry and all that you do here!

[@AjaWynn]

Yes to this ❤ I really needed this

[@Prayoverthewest]

I appreciate this video so much; many influencers arent comfortable openly discussing / talking about God 🙏🏽 If so, When was the moment you knew you were ready to get baptized? It's been on my mind for a year but nothing has pushed me to do it.

[@mariettemckay9950]

Thank you so much looking forward to more of this series. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 I appreciate you 🙏

[@fungaimushambi4717]

We love this series! Please do share more on your favorite Christian Instagram, KZbin & podcast content creators. Because it's all about the content were consuming now and if it's bringing us closer to Gods kingdom 😊

[@TeamGriffin]

I'm 2 minutes in and I saw the thumbnail lord Jesus thankyou! This literally was on my mind too keep the fire. God bless you Maya and your family

[@kizzle3004]

Oh my, girl!! You don’t understand how much I needed this!! Really on time with it, especially about the fasting part and being gluttonous. That’s me frfr😭I’m gonna try and fast frfr for the Lord. Thank you sis!♥️

[@jaymejia8285]

Hiiii Maya ❤ you should also do like a first time mom advice, tips, or just a lets talk. I'm pregnant with first baby and I'm crazy about looking for learning from new / young mama's like me 😊❤ God bless ❤

[@DreaKay]

This was so good! Please chat about navigating through discouragement and disappointment

[@angelatilkuram7242]

God is good all the times ❤❤

[@shontreanmcgee9948]

Hey My My ❤️, I am catching up. thank you so much for just giving us a closer walk with God Vlog. I love your journey and I’m thankful to be a part of it. As always, Be Blessed and Hugs from Texas!

[@ssemboggadaniel4692]

Halo maya,am from kampala uganda and I am a great listener of your content. We love you.

[@cutiebaemuah]

I would love more videos like this. It's so refreshing. I am also a young wife and mother. I want to become a better mother and most importantly a better wife. God has done such amazing things in my life and I would've never imagined my life the way it is today but that's how God planned it to be in I'm beyond grateful for that. I grew up knowing about God, going to church, reading verses of the bible but I never truly had a RELATIONSHIP with God. I am not perfect but out of all the 24 hours in the day we can at least give him 1 hour. God bless you maya. Thank you for sharing the word of God.

[@crystaldisplay1545]

New Subscribers here! I love your passion for Christ 💖. Thanks for making this video .

[@jasmyneartis5867]

I’m going through the toughest time of my life physically,mentally,spiritually,financially and emotionally. And I’m just so tired😢 but I’m going to get it right . Thank you for the tips 🫶🏽

[@lafeymwale1788]

Maya you are such a gifted preacher God bless you and your family.

[@gabyscorner..]

Not you making me cry I really loved this video god bless you maya I really enjoyed your videos I remember watching your dollar tree hauls where my favorite

[@courtneyhermelijn03]

Girl!! Mayaaa my girl ❤️ you got it down PERFRCT! The church we attend is Toronto Free Presbyterian Church. On their website they have a yearly Bible reading that will have you read the whole Bible by the end of the year. We read the KJV it's older English but it makes me feel closer to the Lord even more knowing exactly the language that was used then ❤ Thank you for always sharing the Lord's word and building our Christian community with you showing that through your vlogs. You are doing God's work girl 🥰❤️❤️ you always open my eyes and you are very wise!!! Amennnnn! This life is temporary but life with God is eternal 🥰 thank you for this mamas!

[@Projectliyah_592]

I so look forward to your videos ❤. Every time I’m going through a hard time I can’t help but come back to your videos & after watching from start to end, I always feel so much better. Thank you for keep us in the loops and always giving us the word. Sending love and happiness to you and your family

[@begginerwitcherknitter1838]

my two sisters are both christian, I've never really been, although I am spiritual... lately I've been drawn towards God... and although I believe in that I believe he exists... I haven't been able to fully Believe In Him yet... and I don't know why.

[@loisthomas5465]

We ask this in the most beautiful, awesome name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@kaylaburch21]

Girl I was just praying to God about how I can get closer to him last night and this video comes out today. This ain't no coincidence!!

[@ashleynixon7993]

This was so well needed!! I have been on my walk with Christ for almost a year now and I’ve been feeling like I need to do more so this really helped me! I moved over 3 hours away from family and friends (my old life) and I’ve been struggling trying to find a community in this new place. Any suggestions on how to connect with people in a place you’re not familiar with?

[@miko__241]

9:31 y’all js called me outttt😭😭🙌🏼

[@atypicaleo]

This is Day 1 of getting close to God Thank you so much for this video, I have learned soo much just listening to this. Been gone for way too long. This is a great step to continue my journey . God bless you

[@TeeTheeMffDoll]

Thank You For Sharing This Video With Us Maya And Thank You For Obeying To The Lord For You To Put This Video Out. It’s Needed In A World Like This And I’m So Excited For This Series. As Someone Who Wants To Fully Devote Their Life To Christ I Want To Go In With Him All The Way. I’m Currently Fasting For 3 Days This Month From 6Am-6Pm. But, This Time I Want To Take It A Step Further And Fast For 30 Days From Social Media Instead Of Food Because I Also Been Struggling To Gain Weight And That Is What I Desire From The Lord But Also Dwelling In His Word And Presence. I’ve Been Fasting Since Last Year And Restricted Myself From Food And Accomplished It Before. But, For Someone Who Wants To Gain Weight I Keep Killing My Flesh From Ut. Social Media Is What I Indulge And Give My Time To The Most. That’s Why I Decided To Switch It Up And Do My Normal 3 Days W/O Food Until 6 And The Rest Is Strictly From Social Media Even After. How Do You Think I Should Go About This?

[@tiabaisden1621]

Come through Jesus! We are helping each other get home and that’s beautiful

[@janaejazzy]

Thank you for that beginning prayer that was beautiful 🥹

[@jessiemay6957]

I just became a subscriber, I found you about a month ago after I had my second child looking for advice on breastfeeding/pumping and I came across you in the mist of my searching. You had me hooked ever since and I'm thankful God lead you across my phone. I pray God will continue to bless you to be able to put out faith content, I really needed something/someone to help me get my fire for the Lord again. Being a Mom can be so busy you lose track of time and can get lost in the whirlwind of life that you push things like bible study to the back burner, but I need to get out of this slump and grow my faith.

[@zoniaherold]

This helped me a lot. I have been wanting to get my fire back but did not know where to begin because Im always overthinking everything. Have been fasting in the past, but lately wanting to fast seems so overwhelming. I keep putting it of and then feel so guilty afterwards. Thank you Maya for this, may the Lord keep using you.

[@zariamonet]

can you please do a video on practicing discernment and how to hear God and the Holy Spirit 🥺🥺🥺

[@mpumidikeleditselane9878]

❤Night made. Grateful my friend introduced me to your content.

[@loverofjesus1]

Thank you Maya❤I can attest this works! This year I have just been trying to worship God and put him first and the change is present. You are so right! Before it was more religion and what I saw others doing. Now it’s just me being free in God!

[@ameenahnunez2093]

I swear that not even 15 minutes ago i sat in my bathroom ( still sitting here) and said “I can not do it by myself, I thought I could but I can’t” I open KZbin and this is the first video I seen.

[@PrincemenHunter]

Love watching your vlogs in the morning I’ve got pretty consistent again reading the Bible every day with the Bible recap plan. I was lacking a little when my daughter was born, now that she’s 3 months I read it every morning like you said when I’m feeding her and I’m on day 108. I’m not good with praying, besides praying the Lord’s Prayer at night and thanksgiving some times and I want to get better so bad. I’d love a video in this series about how to pray and worship better. x Lana

[@amandaurnberg6087]

Amazing the Godly woman you have become in such a short amount of time, so proud of you sweetheart 🙏🏻🙌🏻
