Want to give your life to Jesus? Say this prayer
Lord, I admit I am a sinner. I need and want Your forgiveness. I accept Your death as the penalty for my sin, and recognize that Your mercy and grace is a gift You offer to me because of Your great love, not based on anything I have done. Cleanse me and make me Your child. By faith I receive You into my heart as the Son of God and as Savior and Lord of my life. From now on, help me live for You, with You in control.
In Your precious name, Amen
Congratulations on receiving Christ as savior! Welcome to the family! Some great next steps are to get a study Bible and pray to God to guide you to a church filled with the Holy Spirit.

“Yes there are going to be some resources that you feel like you need that you do not have, but God is aware of all of those things and he is still calling you to be obedient” 😳I literally said “Oop” out loud!! Gathered me all the way up with just the intro alone! Gloryyyyyyyy🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@morongoamonko]

I have been procrastinating my KZbin channel since 2018. After watching this video on Saturday, I've recorded 3 videos and I'm currently editing them. Thank you so much for listening to God and being Obedient!!! Your obedience is a midwife to my obedience! This year I will be consistent, my first video is going live on 5 Feb 2024!

[@kyliajackson]

Yes, I’m so proud of you for pushing through! May God bless you for your obedience and may God bless the works of your hands!

[@PleasesayAK]

Time to get moving! Just watched your 2/5 vid and subscribed.

[@toshistokes9277]

You randomly popped up on my KZbin when I logged in from my tv. No one is signed in there so it just shows random videos. Young lady, you said EVERYTHING I needed to hear this morning! God has used you...thank you for your obedience. 🙏🏾

[@kyliajackson]

Wow, my pleasure. So grateful to hear that!

Same! I've never seen her before and yesterday I was in such a funk bc I feel stuck! Like I know there are things I need to be doing but couldn't push myself to do them. I was in prayer all throughout the day yesterday and this is the first thing I look at today. Thank you God for hearing your children when we cry out to you. This was just on time

[@Transitioningvegan]

Discipline is my word for 2024 and becoming disciplined has been struggle in these first few days. Thank you I needed this soul refreshment and this biblical wisdom.

[@kyliajackson]

Amen! My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@jessicaskosana2906]

This video popped up during my study break. The work load is too much even when I had a plan for the whole semester, but I procrastinated. Now it's tough. But it ends now, in Jesus' name!!

[@_smartyshorts]

Wow. Thank you. I’m a wife and mother of 2 young boys and I’m in the process of becoming the first doctor in my family EVER! Some days I feel so overwhelmed and that I should choose something easier but other days I remember that I didn’t choose this for myself. I’ve always wanted to be doctor and that’s been the only constant in my life. I was called to this and I have to see it through no matter what.

[@kyliajackson]

Wow, congratulations that’s a huge endeavor. I’m so proud of you! May God grant you everything that you need to be successful!

[@uriahariel]

Congratulations!!! You seem to be passionate about such an amazing endeavor . We need more aspiring doctors like you. As you effortlessly ride the jet stream of the passion placed in your heart….may your life be positively & tremendously elevated on all levels !

[@Terryon1219]

You go girl ❤

[@deedeesaidso5910]

oh my goodness, yesss

[@lovepeacejoyboo89]

When I clicked on this video & began listening to your teaching. No lie within 5 minutes or so I began crying, because it pierced my soul. I knew immediately you were led by the one and true living God. Then you started referring to the story of Moses. The spirit told me last year sometime ago to start studying the story of Moses. I did for a while & moved on to something else. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! You have awakened my mind, heart, and soul. I pray you continue to allow God to use you. “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart & Lean not on your own understanding”.

[@kyliajackson]

Wow this is beautiful to see how the Lord is moving in your life! God bless!

[@VictorGipson]

I needed to hear that,when you said it's a sin ,to not do something you know you should do .that was a blessing for me.God is good

[@kyliajackson]

So glad it was on time for you!

[@VictorGipson]

God bless you.

[@VictorGipson]

[@heidiakuezumba]

I’ve started re-prioritising my relationship with God and this video shows up on my home feed. I’m glad I watched it. Pray for me y’all, procrastination is strongest weakness.

[@kyliajackson]

Procrastination really is the worst! Praying for you!

[@PhinnahChichi]

Wow! You spoke exactly and literally said exact things that God has been saying to me recently. Lol 😂your example of delaying even buying gas happened to me this weekend. I ended up buying it on my way to church on Sunday instead of Saturday night as I had originally planned 🙈. I repent from procrastination and delay in the things that God has told me to do. They are NOT suggestions, they are directions with blessings attached to them. Thank you for saying YES to your directions from God and doing this video. Thank you and you have just gained one subscriber. God bless you 🙏🏾

[@kyliajackson]

Wow Amen! Thank you Lord for the confirmation! Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the family!

[@Hannahcisrael]

I made an audio recording summarizing everything you spoke on in this video 6 days ago and i was suppposed to use it as a voice over for my short to get back into making YT videos. This is my confirmation, you spoke so elequently and i admire your obedience. Thank you for perservering on your journey 🤍✨

[@kyliajackson]

Amen! So excited for everything you will produce this year! May God bless the works of your hands!

I am on WATER........ THANK you.. so if you get discouraged.. THANK YOU.. BECAUSE 3YRS.. All that.

[@kyliajackson]

Of course!

[@rebelwithapurpose]

All I can say is ouch and Amen because this is the area I struggle with the most on my spiritual journey. My Pastor said if God told you to do something he won’t give you a new thing to do until you do the first thing he called you to do and you just confirmed that. Thanks for being obedient and sharing this word 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@kyliajackson]

My pleasure!

[@tramichalle]

Oooh this is sooo good! I make so many excuses! “I’m too broken” “I don’t have enough resources” “I don’t retain info well” wow this is just what I was dealings with
