[@kimberlytew4695]

You are such a beauty, and as a Grandma I learn sooo much from you..

[@carmenita_carmy]

Yes you did😂😂😂 but its beautiful.😊

[@kelseyDOD]

I didn’t notice at all! You look beautiful!

[@cathirodrigo2933]

As an older woman that JUST recently learned these lessons, PLEASE younger women learn this earlier in life, following Gods way leaves no room for regret!!!!❤❤❤ Thank you this was an AMAZING pod!! ❤❤❤

[@alexafortney]

The exact timing I needed this 🥹🥹 I have been in a slump the last few days about this. I know God has reminded me sooo many times that He is always on time and to trust Him. It can get hard at times, but thank you for always being in tune with the Holy Spirit and being obedient to share!

[@miadennis4065]

The timing of this is crazy! I just graduated college and now I’m in this post grad feeling of “what’s next for me” and it’s been draining. Thank you thank you for this episode!

[@LifeOfRachelle]

I thank God for using you to speak to us. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this right now. Thank you Jeanine for being vulnerable and sharing Gods word with us ❤

[@gracejoylove]

This teaching was definitly for me. 39yo and still single🙈😌

[@rebeccacharmaine]

My cousin is 39 and just got married!!!! Declaring that your time is coming in Jesus name ❤️❤️❤️

[@Anonymous_JK_Lover]

Whenever I get anxious about waiting on the Lord I love listening to "Wait on You" by Maverick City. Literally has those words from Isaiah 40:31 in it. I recommend it for anytime you feel that way.

[@ItsNicoleAnderson]

I needed to hear this so bad!! I’m in a waiting season and I feel so restless rn and couldn’t figure out why. It’s because God is forcing me to in order to wake me up from this slump!

[@Ruthmaniapoto]

I also think sometimes god wants us to enjoy and be free in the blessings he has given us. Like enjoy the blessings. And not worry about tomorrow as god is in control. Lol I'm speaking to myself I'm a runner too. 🎉❤ Lots of love

[@ruechang0920]

This podcast has blessed me so much! Thank you Lord!!! Thank you Jeanine!!

[@yuridiaocampo4400]

I just want to let you know this message has blessed me. May you always hear the voice of the Holy Spirit to speak his word. God bless you always.

[@katiemertz4459]

I just graduated Basic Training and AIT for the Army National Guard and have been feeling these EXACT same feelings of discouragement, and "what do I do now?" after all the hype of training and achievements I made.. This is the episode I needed!

[@charoletteragsdale7681]

Thank you for your encouraging voice. I just purchased your new book because I am in search of some renewed hope in my life. I am struggling in my life right now....very unhappy. Please 🙏 for me! TY Jeanine!

[@timinri]

I am not sure if you have ever covered this, but you can address a Christian perspective of Halloween, Santa, Easter bunny etc.

[@hannahhyy]

Jeanine has a strong aura about her that really strengthens me 💗

[@jackyjimenez3406]

This was awesome! Thank you so much Jeanine you have been such a great inspiration thorough out my teen and young adult life! God bless you even more!

[@priscilarodrigues5602]

You have no idea how God has been working on me thru your videos. I have been listening to that song U mentioned in repeat for like 1 week and this whole video was hitting all the points that I have been trying to grow with God on. Thank you

[@giftyviolina9830]

Psalms 4:8 and Micah 6:8 makes so much sense now, God constantly been calling me to a slow and quite life, this episode was a cherry on top to that calling, thank you so much for echoing God's voice Jennie💘

[@brittanyeorr]

Loved this episode! Jeanine, have you considered joining your church's worship team? I know you have a lovely gift 😊

[@IndiaJanee-vu6zf]

This is so crazy. I was doing a powerpoint of how to wait on God because this is what I’m teaching to a disciple, and this was something God is teaching me too.

[@gabrielaorta9112]

This was definitely something I needed to hear this season. At 29:50 it made me think back to last year I was wanting to become a mom so bad then June 25th I found out I was pregnant then February he was born just seeing my son every single day wow I’m so thankful that it was on his timing for our baby . I’ve been wanting to rush so much but I have to remember it’s on his timing not mine thank you for speaking on this ❤️

[@darlenesmith1294]

Jeanine, thank you SO much for this episode. This episode definitely spoke to me and in this season of life that I am in, I know that I need to slow down and really follow God’s direction and not my own. Trusting him with ALL things. Thank you for your obedience in sharing with us ♥️

[@morganbruce4841]

This was so good. Thank you! Thank you for sharing. Thank you for preparing beforehand and thank you for caring about all of us so much and sharing Jesus with all of us and reminding all of us how good our Lord is 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@nathanward2433]

Hey im a guy and this message really was great because of the emotional aspect of your talks so thank you

[@jazzye_92]

For me it's a Thursday watching this but also rainy and gloomy haha

[@vanessabetancourt7189]

I literally was writing about this in my journal and go on KZbin and this pops up 😂 Thank you for making this video ❤

[@donnaellis9721]

This message was definitely meant for me for the season God is about to have me enter. Thank you for seeking God and yielding to Him about this topic. Have you read 1 Samuel 13? As you were teaching, God brought Saul to mind. He lost His kingdom because he didn't wait on God. He was supposed to wait for Samuel for 7 days for him to offer a sacrifice to seek God. But he fell to the pressure of the Philistines coming against him and his own army deserting him and offered the sacrifice himself, which led to God taking his kingdom from him. Imagine losing something God promised you because you couldn't wait?!?!

[@Purple2Pancakes3]

Thank you, Jeanine for this podcast! I so needed this! ❤

[@sydnicook6822]

Literally, this message is perfectly timed. Thanks Jeanine! ❤

[@jesst1306]

Wow this is the season I’m in. Thanks for talking about this!

[@Jay4Grace]

Wow, this is so confirming to what God reminded me of today. 🥺

[@Brianna-yh7iy]

Thank you for this video

[@kem8887]

Great episode! Also, wanted to say I love your book so much! Such a great read:)

[@stephengoodson9619]

Good wisdom and discernment from God! Thanks Jeanine!

[@jazlynobearq]

WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW hahahahaha. As always God always being on time with this and with u J! thank u and thank you God!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rebecasoraya2623]

Brazil here!

[@vanillafoodie]

Thank you for this sharing! I would like to also share what I learnt through my church group discussions that there is a famous painting of Jesus knocking on the door of your heart, it's called 'The Light of the World', often times when we prayed to God and expect an answer but don't hear anything is because He is waiting at the door of your heart and that's why quiet time is so important, it's not exactly a time to say to just be quiet and silent but to invite God into your heart and even in Scriptures it was written that God speaks in a silent voice, Mother Teresa also shared 'God speaks in the silence of the heart, listening is the beginning of prayer', if you look up the painting notice there isn't a door handle drawn onto it, that was intentional because it shows that God, the almighty God respects your decisions and will, He is a gentleman, He will knock on your door everyday, waiting for you to open the door to Him, are you listening to His knock? Have you let Him into your heart? He is speaking to you, you just have to listen and pay attention. I personally also struggle with quiet time with God, but I notice to just start with worship music helps me to focus on God and I will vent out my struggles to God then when I have nothing to say, I sit still and just feel the peace, reminding myself God has conquered it all, victory has won! Reminding myself to live by that truth, cause the world and the devil so often helps me to forget it, we are humans it is part of our nature to forget things so a discipline routine to have quiet time is so needed like how Jesus practiced many times when He went to seek the Father in silence. Also, to add on your point of the Pentecost day when the Holy Spirit descent upon Mary and the Apostles, they prayed and waited on God for more than one day, it was nine days straight after the day Jesus ascended into heaven. So they waited 9 days in prayer and worship to God, trusting the Helper Jesus mentioned to them will come. He did not tell them when the Helper would come but they waited eventually, I admire their stillness and faith in God, it's something I wish to adapt into my daily habits, and St. Paul's unwavering joy and ability to live in content in any situation is so powerful to me, I pray that we all get to achieve that peace and stillness from our God and inspire others to do the same. Thank you Jeanine! I appreciate your podcast and tips in this video

[@tatianarosa9061]

ugh i needed this sooo much. thank you thank you God

[@devynsmith2846]

Wow needed to hear this today ❤

[@awakeningsouls9545]

I would love to hear your thoughts on what we can learn from each disciple?😇

[@kelseyDOD]

Holy Spirit was all over this message, Jeanine! I sent it to my best friend and she said “I just want to let you know I listened to that entire podcast just now (with the Bluetooth ear phones you gave me! Thank you again!) and wow- I’m going to subscribe to that girl Out of all of the podcasts you’ve ever sent me- she was the most genuine, God seeking, humble, on fire, girl that I felt connected to and related to and her prayer at the end even made me cry! 😭🥹🤍”

[@taylorbarnes3608]

Exactly what I needed to hear ❤

[@WhittneySorrell]

Needed this today !

[@alexandrarodriguez3057]

Hi Jeanine god made me a promise 6 years ago he confirmed it to me but I don’t pray as much as I used too I’m afraid god won’t answer my promise because I don’t pray much or read my Bible as often

[@nunikfernandez926]

Side note: It's Philippians 4:11-13 when she says "Paul 4:11-13." Paul is the author.

[@GBryant-zl3sq]

Lovely word!! 💗

Men! Patience is a fruit of the Holy Spirit

[@vinessav2141]

Love this episode!! Quick question where is your phone case from? It’s so cute!!

[@animatedjess]

Hi Jeanine! Thank you so much for this episode. It was timely and what I needed to hear ❤ Also just fyi the origins of the ennegram are demonic. I believe the person who founded it received information through channeling. I was a bit disappointed to learn about this since I really liked it before and found it helpful. I would encourage you to look into the origins when you can! Have a blessed day!

[@Ruthmaniapoto]

Amen this is great ❤

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

It’s actually really not normal to have a big life change every year… you need to be content with the mundane and not chasing high after high.

The Bible VS Sinners, What is it that the Bible is fighting against and how do our sins come into handy? First of all, we are all sinners and we have been freed by Jesus Christ and only. We believers of course are not alone, and Satan and his servants are very real and still carry out practices against us trying to rule the Kingdom of Heaven. How so? Well, there is the Tree of Knowledge we shall not touch, that is the mechanism God used to create our lives. How could we touch it if we are not Gods? Well, as in the Bible Satan used to be an angel but he rebelled and showed dissatisfaction towards our creator, who is God. So, he threw him and one-third of his followers out of heaven for rebelling against his work. How is it being reflected in our life? Well, occult practices are the imitation of his works. They are layers of his channels and tapping on them, or channels that blend our needs and work is a rebellion against him. But how can someone deploy such a gameplay against the creator and his inferiors? Well, there are multiple ways you can do it, but under general terms, they are considered occult practices or Satanism. Witchcraft, Black-Art, sorcery, and so on are all parts of this cultic mechanism. Under its mechanism it works in the following ways, at least this is what I have been exposed to by the members intentionally. They have materials that are designed with the use of reverse engineering (reverse psychology) these were books, nicely worded, almost like the Bible but because they imitate God and they never intend to come from the front. These were grey intentionally looking evil types. So, when you read them, they sound like the Bible exactly, but because the mind revisits the past, backward these books have a different meaning and instruct the mind of its readers to recondition themselves to a higher (usually) degree. But, if they are to produce criminals then they use the lower degree conditioning and make the person rebel against the people, and because it is designed to imitate God, against him too, plating that person for atrocities and making him a human offering to their God. It is worth mentioning that the Tree of Knowledge can be recalled as the following - but we are not meant to touch it at any cost. The best is to stay away from it and see the serpent as it is rather than who it wants you to make you believe it wants. So, our mind operates in the following way; The super subconscious mind - this is what links everyone to each other. This is the channel that can be used in Black Art to target people, this is the lower layer of the public consciousness. In Satanism, this is the lower entity as they personalize what God created for us, for him to create. Then comes your channels, your subconscious mind, your conscious mind, and your ego. These can be perverted through the manipulation of the super-subconscious mind. After that, there is the Superego which is God`s channel to lead us, the holy spirit and Jesus Christ. And, this is the target of Black Art and Witchcraft as it intends to take ownership over this channel to lead the above three personal channels into submission and obedience to serve its climate. I figured that the Bible defends us from this intervention in the following way, that is sin-offering and it intends to strengthen the environment God has created us for all, and at the same time exposes those intentionally or else submitted to benefit from occult practices that are perverting the mechanism of God`s way. Eventually, they should balance each other out until we stop doing it all at once. But to do that, we shall make the most out of it until it is so unbearable that no human can ever take ownership of it as a whole or parts of it. We cannot succeed against God and we certainly don`t want to succeed. We cannot judge as we can not understand what is happening. And, we certainly don`t want to get exposed to the main channels of our life, because God is our creator and those chosen to practice such occult are and will be a competitor to Satan where they stand no chance to survive. We are connected through that channel where the lower (super subconscious)stands for Satan, where our sins are stored, and the higher (superego) serves as God`s channel. So, when you are being attacked by directly or indirectly, please do bear in mind how this mechanism works, and how you are being tapped into - the super subconscious mind. And, that is what is the aim, and that is to derail the superego God made us to follow, including himself. Avoid exposure to this environment, as the superego shall not be disturbed by sinners or else you`ll be calling God`s wrath on yourselves. If you are exposed to the super subconscious mind, you are plating yourself for those who intend to feed on your being to serve their purpose. Use only your channels and stay within, there they can`t touch you, but do bear in mind that they can use others you trust to target you or trick you without them even knowing it. These Satanists also use the Bible to perfect the work of their art that intends to manipulate our channels. To make us manipulate our channels, deceive ourselves, and potentially destroy ourselves. Stay within and be safe under God`s command and for the well-being of his kingdom.

I absolutely love when you stick to the Bible in these podcasts. Truly your calling.🙏🏻🤍

[@melissacalderon1515]

I’m a be honest jeannie and hope this doesn’t offend you but this has been my chest for while and I hope you don’t read it as I’m bashing you but I feel sometimes you do put your worth on your own platform, the followers you have, the christian events that you go to, I sometimes think your platform and the things you represent are going to make people think that’s what walking with God looking like, having followers going to christian events, looking all cute 24/7 that’s the vibe I get when I see your videos and alot of people Christian love showing the highlight reel of faith, but don’t show the downfall or anything and it’s fusturating because I feel a lot of Christian’s influencers just love showing off there famous life..and not the reality of life because there people who don’t have that job that you have or the followers..I think Christian influencers are worst then celebrities

[@missNCW]

Oh good another married woman who DIDN’T wait, accusing all single women of being IMPATIENT and ‘HURRYING’. Leave single women alone, and stop giving unsolicited advice. Teach the lesson to YOURSELVES, because you are not perfect. Why are YOU the teacher?

Why so angry

[@rebeccacharmaine]

When I TELL you this came at the exact right time along with the “Slower I go” song and literally being in the exact space of waiting to hear from God about what’s next in my life and feeling like He’s been so silent but also simultaneously telling me to slow down 🥹🥲

[@bunni9128]

I needed this badly 🥲
