You ladies are the true definition of beauty,transparency, obedience, faith filled woman of encouragement ♥

[@dloveofgod8269]

Indeed. Wonderful women of God as their lives demonstrate obedience. I pray that young women see this and seek the Lord early in life. As someone who spent a lifetime loving Him but not knowing or seeking His will nor obedience. A life with a path that was my making or following the waves of the sea.

totally praising God for Stephanie! u know she shares with humility & not for self gain 😊

[@estherashu1925]

Great women of God!! Thanks for your rich relationship with God. God bless you all.

[@screen7136]

Yeh, but many ravanous wolves have attacked the black community, so the black community is wounded and defensive like a hurt puppy / sheep.

[@karynjones4110]

i love how stephanie relates Ishmael to self-reliance and what we can control. then when she says that the Ishmael's are hard to give up. isaac is what you produce from a place of encounter. WOW!! preach stephanie! this episode ministered to me and where i am in my walk. thank you ladies🙏🏾

[@malebelomaphutha6566]

Felt that too!🔥

[@florentinadom6602]

Stephanie is just so fresh I love her.

[@NewBeginnings000]

I love it when Holly says we should avoid generalising things because we want to appear too religious. Even when I deeply want something to succeed, I always say not my Will but His and yes, God has kept me safe from something (lots of things)I couldn't see. He made me fail in something I desperately wanted and some years later, I realized it was a good thing I failed then. God wants the best for us. So, submitting to His Will is a beautiful thing to do.

[@felicitygrace5113]

I am now reading Abraham's story in the Bible and this helps me bring more understanding. Powerful conversation. Loved it!

[@EstherTK]

“ What you build in your strength, you’ll have to maintain in your strength “ . “ Lisa 😱🔥🔥🔥

[@JG-td3qw]

When Stephanie implied that it must be easier to give in to God as sacrifice of obedience the things which in the first place came to Him compared to the things we built or created with our own strength; I’ve realized that it’s not only “some things” but it actually covers the lives we’re living in right now. Our lives are ought to be living sacrifices for His kingdom. I think the conflict arises when we set our self worth based on the “prestige” or “status” or “honor” or “money” that we tend to worked so hard to get. And that leads to pride and disobedience.

[@VirtuosoSoul925]

I’m soo thankful for this channel. It has fed me so and I pray for the ladies who continue to share their stories opening up themselves to show God’s glory in their lives.

[@TaTiairrAriana]

Obedience is a journey !! I Thank you god for bringing these women together❤️ The transparency in this video really is what I’m experiencing with my journey of following Jesus. I try so hard to be perfect because I feel like God is already disappointed with me 💯 but hearing this gives me soo much reassurance ❤️

[@elisesanderse8984]

I tried to do what God was asking of me but i failed...... i can not do it again. I have desire to follow God but its soo hard... 😥

[@desireallen96]

You can do all things through christ Jesus who strengthens you just allow him to guide you 🙏

[@sallyzielke6703]

I was just praying about Jesus being Lord in a certain area. I clicked on this video. Just watching everyone's testimonies, is such an affirmation how God has a wonderfully designed plan for an intimate relationship with each person.

[@jewishbride5010]

I loosen myself of every (self-)imposed limitation in my life, in accordance with this word and mark 3:27, ezekiel 34:16, 2 corinthians 10:15 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

[@victoriantia7284]

Sometimes is not easy to say no to something you love when God need you to say NO to it and say YES to Jesus's offer. I love this discussion, we are all in this together.

[@lorirose4841]

Laurie is so beautiful and filled with light, not just physically attractive but she looks like a vessel of Gods Love and Holy Spirit!

[@cindyjudah940]

Love these ladies. As 4 Stephanie Ike-wow-theres smthng so beautiful&different abt her

[@aallthingsbeautiful]

This is so good... the best of us experience this, afraid that things may not work out, sacred that God may not show up and you think maybe I made a mistake, the uncertainty, doubt and unbelief. But we just have to let go and let God, step out of your own way when you are sure it’s God directing you... and it would be bigger than we could have imagined.

PLEASE CAN MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS CHANNEL 😭😘

[@gigi-gc8gu]

I felt this so much. I’ve had this said to me by other pastors 😫 Lord, I repent for dancing and listening to secular music and enjoying doing the things of this world and going to the club

[@MichelleSears]

Obedience is our walk with God. Just keep getting up when you fail because He's always there waiting to lift you up and love on you. He sees us as perfect and righteous because of what His Son done on the cross for us, accept it. This is very encouraging ladies. Thanks for sharing this message.

[@wanjikumwirigi6389]

Thank you for sharing your individual walk with God.

[@tammyculp7274]

I thank Jesus how these messages come through at the right time!! Great word!

[@neliswajokweni5872]

"There is provision in obedience" Amen ❤️

[@jodidavis8369]

This channel is awesome. Thank you all for your encouragement and obedience. I pray for that same Grace and anointing for obedience upon my life. 💛

[@marymumbi5325]

Had to keep pausing bit by bit coz I felt the lord speak to me through all of you. Thanks Stephanie also for praying for us. May God help me to be obedient to His small still voice and through it all, I know I have some Heart's desires I've desperately been seeking God for, but may His will be done. Baraka!! To mean Blessings in Swahili❤

[@madelinerichardson7480]

Let's not forget the importance of the words of Abraham concerning Isaac " I believe you are able to raise ir up." He is able to raise us up

[@naturallygifted2002]

It’s actually about NOT taking one’s PERSONAL experience or encounter from or with God and make a doctrine out of it. That’s why it’s a personal and intimate relationship.

[@damalienakiwaladamerinaz4234]

May God continue using you ladies.. I was wanting to hear God speak to me about something..and I can't believe he just did through this msg. .

[@michaelhammond1150]

WHAT A TOUCHING REVELATION SHARED BY EXECUTIVE PASTOR STEPHANIE IKE AND OTHER ANOINTED WOMEN OF GOD. PRAISE THE LORD AND GLORY BE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS. EPHESIANS 3: 20-21. AMEN.

[@thereeljanedoe]

God said “ I’m gon get you this message.” *enters this video* This surrender/Isaac/Ishmael story has been playing In my head until now. Thought I was overthinking, but now…🤯 I’m listening.

Ladies! You’re the best and real people that we need especially during this pandemic. I’m watching from South Africa and I’m totally healed from all that was bothering me deep within me - May God keep you for generations yet unborn. Keep up the good work and keep the chat on and on until eternity.

[@BetterTogetherTV]

Thank you for watching and sharing. God bless you!💜

[@amahlenyati4579]

I have been so blessed by what Lisa said about how the Lord gave her and specifically her an instruction that would otherwise bring condemnation to others who have not been convicted. That brings freedom because sometimes we like to take the role of deputy Holy Spirit.

[@Jasmyne444]

So true!

[@Nuli_A]

YEEEEES! So true

[@Nuli_A]

Also what Holly said.

[@KikeOlaPoetry]

Stephanie is my kinda women. So wise with the wisdom of God.

[@GracefullyMadeup]

I absolutely loved this one, there was so much wisdom and inspiration to help me to trust and let the Lord lead my life and to lay my life down for His using.

[@steflondon88]

The Holy Spirit is working overtime, because almost all of your videos lately speak DIRECTLY into my situation among others I have been coming across, like Tony Evans two sermons, "the Risk of Faith", and "Israel: Risk of Faith", and another video by Christine Caine, etc etc... GOD SPEAKS. I have literally had a few moments where I had to pause the video in a sigh of relief, Crying... because I do feel like God is angry at me or punishing me, but in scripture we always see His mercies don't fail, even when we mess up our story. Joel 2:12-14 talks about God relenting when we repent. But, it's a hard journey when you feel God is mean, or uncaring, which is far from the truth, and satan wants us to believe that. Thank you for giving me hope, and so much relief that it's going to be okay.

[@mercysamuel4865]

Thank you all for beautiful words of encouragement that are so needed!

[@brittanyb9292]

This was so Stephanie and holly broke it down so well of how surrendering and being obedient

[@priscillaxsafi]

So needed❤️

[@kdy531]

Yes! I love these perspectives on obedience, especially how it is personal to each person. I’ve struggled with laying down my will as well as with placing my convictions on others. I feel that I am growing in both, and I am grateful for more awareness.

[@annabelleappiah-dankwah2368]

This is beautiful and right on time 🙏🏾

[@ABCDEFGHI118]

I love Ike soooooo much she’s full of wisdom. I’ve learnt a lot from her teachings.

[@DetesiaTotiana_MOR]

Beautiful life stories from such beautiful woman on how God had a different plan for your lives and each of you had to surrender to the Lord all of you in order to walk into the fullness of all that he had promised for each of you. This was a message of inspiration when I needed a push with my own ministry work. Thank you and God bless each and everyone of you woman with abundance and grace. Stephanie God has bless you with the anointed power to move in high places and he’s going to take you even higher. Love & Blessings Detesia Totiana

[@marymwinambo3562]

I can confidently say that recently I felt something heavy on my chest regarding certain things I had been doing before I started paying attention and speaking to God but after I started living according to his plan I feel at peace.

[@mariamercedesmurillo3576]

My biggest struggle is giving up me and all my desires. I am in a very uncomfortable place and I have no clue what's next, but I know this is my journey to God's will for my life. Lord help me continue on this path no matter what it looks like. Oh Lord give me strength.

[@alyssal.4672]

Yes I am in the same situation! God has called me to relinquish myself and my will and follow him depending on Him alone! And He's been calling for so long but I have been afraid and walking in the flesh and hesitating from a lack of faith and I too am very uncomfortable because I'm not where I need to be but I can't go back.

[@ashleylopez1987]

“Because I’m not where I want to be but I can’t go back” - felt that to my core 🤍

[@chibwemusendeka9049]

[@lillianchambers2160]

I really want to give God thanks, that He cares so very for His children and He knows exactly what our needs are. I started a course three weeks ago, which I started, thinking that it would enounced a project which I know the Lord has laid up on my heart for a number of years. However, over the past two days, I became aware of The Holy Spirit speaking to me, to terminate this course. He was impressing on my heart that, it is not that the course itself was wrong but the establishment where I am taking the course and their course content, would overwhelmed and encroached on the time which I have dedicated for Him. Interestingly enough, I emailed the letter of course termination this morning at 08.00am UK time and just before 3.00pm this afternoon the Holy Spirit led me to Better Together TV, 'You're LIMITING Yousel' - discussing the very subject of trusting and obeying and be willing lay down whatever our Lord has asked us to be submitted. I praise the Lord for the relevance and timely confirmation from today's episode! Blessings LC.

[@limoyollan]

This is a wonderful, encouraging and inspiring show. Sharing your journey with God, experiences and encounters with Him to the rest of the world, is truly a Blessing. Thank you Ladies. May we also gather the courage to share our walk with other people just so as to encourage even one soul. All this for the Glory and Honor of God.
