YES! I’m a new momma too and I’ve definitely experienced the enemy trying to work his way into my heart in this season. I was up in the middle of the night a few days ago trying to get my baby to sleep, and the Lord really convicted me here. I can spend that time in the quiet hours of night praising the Lord, praying for my son, and my sweet husband! What a gift!

[@blaykeheaton2516]

I’m not subscribed to you guys and this video RANDOMLY popped up on my KZbin, I needed this message so bad today!!! I’m watching my baby niece for my brother and sister in law and have been STRUGGLING! She’s 6 months old, teething, finding her voice and her likes/dislikes and I have been having a really hard time with her and it sent me spiraling down the path of “if I can’t handle her for a weekend how could I possibly handle children of my own” THE DEVIL IS A LIE!!! The enemy is so sneaky oh my gosh!!!!! Thank God for the God we serve🙏🏼

[@emmahanf]

GUYS, you have got to be kidding me! YOU ARE SO ANNOINTED. UGH, how thankful I am to be alive in this generation. I am 22 and so many people in my generation will say things like, "I wish I was born in another generation". WE ARE BLESSED. The Lord knew how people like you, both will change hearts with the Holy Spirit. I took a couple years off watching you both consistently and I am so happy to be back. I remember when you both did not have kids and were having a hard time trying. Look at the blessing, not one child, BUT TWO! Ugh, I am so happy for the two of you and am crying writing this. Thank you for continuing your walk, I encourage you to keep growing like you are and exhorting to people, like me :)

[@selah_vie]

I’m not a momma, but my sleep is often stolen due to illness. And I’m feeling deprived right now as well. So I feel with you and for you. Thank you for sharing this. I wore that shirt yesterday… indeed… the joy of the Lord is my strength!!

[@amandalynnsmith832]

Giiiirl!!! THIS!! A choice. I needed to hear this so badly. Reminding us we have autonomy over our choices. We can parter with joy. Thank you!

[@hawaiigurl747]

I’m not a mom or a wife, but I’m 40, and have never had a day half as happy as you seem every day. It seems impossible people can be like this. Glad you have joy in your life.

[@sarahchadwick4672]

The joy she has is the joy of the Lord! Joy that is completely available for you as well 🥰🥳🥳

[@jennifergonzales8124]

❤ Tori, you are an inspiration and how awesome to turn your perspective around. "He's not just winning,he's got himself a teammate in you" really stood out to me. No way will I partner with him again He is NOT the Winning Team! I forget even Christ had to tell that Dirty Player to get behind me, so how much more do we need to? Thank you for this video and sharing your Revelation. You are Beautiful Mama - inside and out! 🌺🪻🌼🪷⚘️🌻

[@katebecker2040]

Holy Spirit came through you!❤ I am also a mom of two under two. You’re not alone

[@emilyniebaum640]

I very much needed this reminder today. This is exactly what we are going through right now with a new baby and toddlers. I don’t want to miss these hard but very sweet times with our babies. God is good!

[@G1rl4G0d]

“He’s not just winning, he’s got himself a teammate in you” WOW. So convicting-really puts things into perspective. Loved this, Tori!

[@michellesanchez9]

Tori, I am a online subscriber and I cant tell you enough how much I needed this video today. I have been so stressed as a new mom, and part time student and Behavior interventionist for children with special needs and I have been responding out of my frustration, irritation, really stress, also lack of rest and sleep including not honoring the sabbath day, instead of using those moments to praise God and looking at things from a heaveanly perspective I have been looking at them in how I feel and have been complaining. Including not responding in ways that honor the lord. Thank you Jesus and thank you Holy spirit for this reminder 🙏🤍

[@ashleyacevedo4296]

Literally up since 5 nursing our newborn and frustrated that I can’t get him to go back down. I open my phone and here’s this video. This is sooooooo real. Thank you for speaking on it!

[@alexandrahill7002]

Crazy timing for this video. I’ve been watching videos all day on how to get my baby to sleep because I’m so frustrated and exhausted and defeated.. then this popped up and I clicked on it not having any idea it would be exactly what I needed. God works through others, thank you for this! 🤍

[@emilyklesick]

This encouraged me so much! “When we are not walking in joy, we are weakened.” So good! 🤍

[@jessicadaniel6345]

I felt a huge conviction to watch this video again and I’m so relieved that I did!! I have a 3 year old & 16 month old that’s going through a horrible sleep regression/separation anxiety to the point that last night, she kept crying and screaming when I didn’t hold her. It lasted for 3 hours 😔😭 I tried to make the day better by getting the girls out of the house & get my oldest a bike she’s been wanting for months. I brought it home, she sat on it & come to find out, she was too tall for it 😭😭😭 Before watching this, I cried and just felt like a failure as their mom and a wife. After watching this, it gave me the encouragement that I truly needed. Thank you for making this video 🙏🏽❤️

[@cynthiacontreras7839]

I needed this video a long time ago❤ I have a 4 year old son and I have felt so frustrated because I feel I can’t have any alone time or get anything done. But I select JOY and enjoy my time with my son and spend the time with him.

[@seranoa3513]

Thank you so much dear Tori. I really needed this, just like a lot of people hearing this. My relationship just ended, even though I thought that “this” could be it. It really hurts. Besides that, my singing voice doesn’t work anymore. I’m so grateful that I was able to sing for so long, all for the glory of God. But now it seems I have to chose another path? Or is it the enemy who is trying to pull me away from Gods direction. I’m praying a lot for this specific situation. Sometimes I feel so lost and down. But you remind me of the thing I always say to others: the joy of the Lord is my strength! That’s the truth!

[@alexafortney]

This is so timely and divine wisdom. Thank you!!! Thank you Jesus🤍

[@delaneygray9523]

Oh my gosh the lord put this on my feed for a reason. I am 36 weeks pregnant with a 2 year old and my dog has been sick getting up multiple times a night, along with my toddler and I have been so tired and struggling hard with joy right now. I needed this reminder so badly thank you ❤

[@brieannaporter808]

Thank you Tori! The LORD really used you in the video to convict me. I have a ten month old and in my fist trimester with my second and my first born will not sleep unless I’m nursing and has also been bitting me so hard I bleed. I found myself dreading the days and sadly partnering with the enemy. No more! I will praise our father for my blessing he had I trusted me with and treasure this time with my fist born while it’s just us. Thank you!

[@alexisobhagat]

This was in line with our message today from The Pearl Church 👏🏼 I’m 35 weeks pregnant and started to allow the frustrations of late pregnancy/slowing down to override the joy I have growing inside my womb. This is a great reminder for me entering the mama season and for when life gets tough when our baby girl is here! 🙏🏼

[@taylorbtolley2]

Ooooooh Mama!!!! You are speaking TRUTH right to me!!!!! Thank you for this!! Wow wow wow I needed this more than you know!

[@mariahfedosov1516]

This is so timely! I have been getting so frustrated as I come up on a year of feeding every night...more frequently now than the newborn stage due to teething and I've been more impatient than I'd like to be and not enjoying each moment as I should be. What a great reminder!

[@Thegracefilledjourney]

Yesss!!! Hallelujah!! This is exactly what my church and me personally are studying, living, choosing, and learning!! God is so good! So amazing how the Holy Spirit is truly on one accord.

[@shawnee.]

Tori you're beautiful. Such a precious daughter of the most high. I want to give a shout out to Chad also for holding it all down. I know how much strength a father carries to allow his wife and children peace and stability. Beautiful family. Wish you all the best and blessings on top of blessings.

[@jamie-leewatson3565]

ABSOLUTELY! Mother of 5 here... My first few were the hardest because i was praying for God to change it (The lack of sleep mostly)... My last 2 have been the easiest because I prayed for Gods strength within the circumstance & I intentionally blocked out the hard and focussed on the lovely. Plus I realised that it goes fast and id sleep eventually (Current bub is 19 months old & still waking 2-3 times a night, but I dont really mind).

[@kelseyDOD]

TORI!! I have been in your shoes, 2 under 2 was the hardest battle to stay positive and be kind in my marriage etc. gosh those days were SO HARD! I am watching my 3.5 and 5yo boys play outside and am grateful for full nights of sleep, I don’t say this to make you envious or anything of that nature, but to give you HOPE that this too shall pass! The way you responded inspires me and I will apply it to my life, because the sleepless nights are just replaced with a different worry, we all know that there is never a time where things are “perfect”! Thank you so much for feeling led to share this, it impacted me! I adore you! You’re a great mama 🥰

[@crystalortiz6786]

Man, I needed this

[@caitlynpeterson4687]

Thank you for following the Holy Spirit’s prompting. My soul needed this today. Renewed reminder of the necessity of prayer and specifically first hand revelation going forward. What a perfectly timed message. God is so good.

[@jessicaamllr]

I can’t tell you how much I needed this video. My babies aren’t so little anymore, 8 & 4, but I feel I’ve been struggling lately with having my joy stolen. NO MORE. I recently gave my life to Christ & goodness, the spiritual warfare I have experienced has been nuts. Your video has fired me up & I’m done partnering with the enemy. I am strong only through Jesus to be a warrior for my family! Thank you for this reminder! God put this video on my feed for a reason! 🤍

[@aleishahicks]

So timely! Thank you Masters family. Truly in a season of pressing revelation from God and keeping joy is vital! Thank you for helping us! Love you Tori!

[@glendatrinidad7888]

Thank you so much Tori! This was just what I needed! I've been wishing my life away for the "next" season that I've not allowed myself full joy in this season. God bless you!

[@vitaliaschultz138]

OMG this is what I needed to hear today. Thank you for this. we have 3 children and one is special needs. What a perfect timing. ❤️

[@Daughter_of_God21]

Tori, I felt the Lord put you on my heart the last few days, and I felt led to pray against the enemy attacking you! 🤯 Holy Spirit knows, and I just thought it must have been my mind rambling up reasons or something lol. So good to see you taking a firm stand against the adversary. It fires me up to start praying the Word over my home and loved ones more. The enemy thought he could have you but Jesus says y'all are His (if you know the song, you know what I mean 😆) Will be making it more of a point to keep praying for you guys 🤍

[@monicacsaucedo]

Omg I needed this reminder so much right now!! My husband and I just had our 3rd boy recently (3 boys 3 and under) and life has been crazy to say the least. Thank you for reminding me to choose joy and to enjoy the season we are in regardless of how hectic it feels.

[@Leanna-jj5cr]

I love you guys and your family of 4! You guys are so encouraging and it’s awesome to see lovely Christian families online ❤ Good for you! I can’t even imagine what having two under two would be like (I’m a teenager sooo like 😂) God bless!

[@madisonfunari1331]

That’s such a great mindset Tori, I also feel the kids feels the enemy in us when we’re sleep deprived. It’s no JOKE. Waking up and serving our children from the very start of our day, on a lack of sleep. Take care of y’all! This will definitely pass, around 6-7 months I feel it gets so much easier!!! Stay strong

[@shaunafarrington]

Yes!!!!! I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old and I am strugglinggggg the past few days, my 1 year old is extra clingy which makes my 2 year old whiny. BUT I want to enjoy this season! So so good! Thank you!

[@amberlymercado]

My littlest man nurses to sleep most of the time and nurses throughout the night and I used to think I needed to change this but I know it’s only going to be so long and now I see it as a magical and joyous experience and I am embracing this stage of life we are in. God will always meet you when you open your ears and eyes to the beauty of those moments instead of what’s lacking and it’s so hard when we are TIRED. It’s ok to ask for help. It’s ok to nurse him to sleep if that’s what works. I’m so glad God met you in this moment ❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing it’s so inspiring

[@KendraMBrandon]

Incredible Truth! There are so many areas that I can apply this to my life. Thanks for sharing!

[@jennabouman8602]

That was an amazing reminder. Thank you. I’m 33 weeks pregnant with our first baby and prepping for everything. I’ve been so sick this entire pregnancy and just so beaten down but this reminds me to choose joy even when it’s hard.

[@macieanderson718]

As someone who is going through a completely different season, this spoke straight my spirit. Thank you for being a vessel Tori. 💛

[@erb611]

This was hard to hear but I needed to hear it. Thanks Tori!

[@daniellegianni9120]

Can’t even describe how much this applies to the season I’m in right now nothing to do with babies but heading into a new piece of my career. And each day been so frustrating of the newness and I keep thinking like oh in 6 months it will be better. And not appreciating what God is doing right now. This was amazing thank you so so so much!!

[@hilarygrace8696]

Watching through tears 🥹 I’m in the same season with you guys, our babies are super close in age and man has it been tough. Thank you thank you and praying for joy in the midst of all the overwhelming and tireless days that I KNOW we will all look back on one day. I pray we see Jesus in all the moments and find joy in the hard days.

[@nicolemoura342]

This is the second video that appeared here on youtube for me today about this same theme, love the ways God finds to deliver words for me when I most need them! I have really been blessed by this message, thank you for sharing!!! And also loveeee the high quality of the video and love how peaceful it feels looking at the trees swaying in the wind behind you!

[@그레이스쌤영어]

I love this video! so powerful message to me! I keep listening these days. This is so timely and divine wisdom. Thanks Tori 🙂

[@elliebaker7869]

WOAH. This week I have been wrestling through this issue of feeling my joy is stolen. I asked God for help knowing how to combat it and you were my answered prayer today! Thank you for washing us with scripture.

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

Yes! I’m currently 7.5 weeks pregnant and also have an 18 month old (and I also work from home!) so I’m currently going through a crazy season and can totally relate to not wanting the enemy to steal my joy even in some of the “difficult” moments!

[@Kiayamarieee]

Great word!!! This was empowering where I wanted to put back on my armour and go to battle confidently and with supernatural strength

[@LesleyDeSessa]

Wow this is so so good! I am in this season with y’all! My hubby and I have a 3 month old. In the thick of it & all the postpartum hormones etc. I have truly felt we have been being attacked by the enemy. We’ve experienced attacks on our marriage, our vehicle, my husband’s job, my relationship with my Dad, and multiple panic attacks where I went to the ER. I *need* to watch this again multiple times and take notes. Thank you!

[@HappilyAnonymousGirl]

Very timely word, Tori. I’m single, but I know this will be useful to me one day.

[@rebekahkann1599]

Girl i love this!! Your ok to feel tired, your ok to feel upset that the Devil is trying to steal your joy! Don't let him win keep your faith!

[@allisonlucas018]

You are on fire Tori! This video confirms what God has been speaking to me about- choosing joy! On the missions trip to Costa Rica, the organization we were with has 5 contract items we are to sign off on. And one of them was Choose Joy. And in the two weeks I've been home, I've found that I've laughed more and truly been finding joy even on hard days. Thank you for sharing!

[@YEM8991]

Wow!! This spoke to me so much!!! I love this. The power of life and death lies in the tongue. Speak life - meaning God's way into your situation big or small. Currently still nursing my son who is over 1 and it's been alot on my sleep and body. Thank you for the encouraging words! God bless you and your family !🙏

[@kimberlygreidanus5639]

I needed this so bad....Thank you!!!! I am going through divorce and the joy has been stolen from me for some time as I'm navigating my new season not bc I've chosen this way for my life to go but bc this has been thrown on me and If I want a non toxic/non abusive, healthy God fearing marriage then this is what I need to do....In the waiting for my destiny to be lived from what the Lord God wrote over my life long before I came to be I will choose JOY today tomorrow and each after!!!

[@janilizrodriguez8779]

Omg this was so needed a reminder that was refreshing to my soul! The truth was said and helped debunk the lies of the enemy .. Thank you for being used 💓

[@taylorblackman3422]

This is exactly what I needed in this season. Such an encouragement. Thank you Tori! ❤😭

[@nancydroge7682]

AMEN! Powerful! Thank you for this, Tori! I will choose JOY; I will choose to focus on the generosity of God even through seasons of suffering and/or deep disappointment! “The joy of the Lord IS my strength!” Prayer IS powerful! 🙌🏽 Blessed, we ARE! ~Praying for you, Chad, Micah, & Noah! ~Praying for this community! ❤️🙏🏽

[@tanirnicolee]

Love this!! I think that whatever season you’re in, this applies to it! So great to be reminded sometimes🥰🙌🏼🩷

[@anniebrown8198]

This is so good Tori. Staying close to the Father in the secret place and asking for the spirit of revelation is POWERFUL! Thank you Jesus for your mercy! And what you said Tori about staying present and prayerful, so good! I also wanted to say I loved the background of this video, so beautiful 🥹🥹🌱

[@elizabethfennell9887]

If you’ve ever posted a video that I NEEDED to hear, it was this one. ❤️

[@emmacarpenter1133]

Toddler mama here with a newborn due in October.. this was a great watch.. mindset in these busy times is going to be everything!

[@aprilsouthers7318]

Yeah i definitely agree that's what the enemy is trying to do to me as well. He wants me to be irritated in this season and i have been. I'm trying to get deeper in God's word and focus on what I'm thankful for instead of allowing the enemy to steal my joy focusing on my lack of community and time with friends. Thank you Tori i really needed to hear this.

[@allisong3736]

Wow, I needed to hear this. Currently in the 4 month struggle and this is very convicting!

[@allisong3736]

Also, this video is looking crisp! Did you get a new camera?

[@ruthtieman7636]

Thank you Masters Family. This video was encouraging to me. God’s blessings!

[@Jollzzz]

Currently being blasted by the impartation Tori! Thank you, God bless you. All glory to God, that was a word I heard just an hour ago, that "the JOY of THE Lord is my strength". So your confirmation, impartation just rushed me free. Taking it all with me into the day, weekend and next week. 🙌 The assurance of God's love is too precious! Thanks again 🙏And Chad, absolute gold of a word. Appreciate you!!

[@freetobe15]

Literally right before I started watching this video, I told myself, "I'm can't let tiredness steal my relationship with my child!"

[@hannahhyy]

Thank you Tori I’m so blessed by this video. Amen there are seasons of hardship but that doesn’t mean we have to let the enemy rob us of our joy 💗🙏

[@briana_hernandez]

“We’re in a season of pressing…man when I’m pressed what’s coming out, I want the fruit of the spirit to come out of me in the season of pressing and I don’t want to miss out on what God has… in the here and now. I want to have eyes to see what he’s doing. I want to have ears that are in tune to hear his voice. I want to have a spirit that is sensitive to his leading.” 🔥 So Good!

[@allig1415]

I didn't just LIKE this video I LOVED IT!!! 😍✝️💪🏽 I Feel super blessed & lit up the right way!

[@pw1445]

Thank you so much for sharing your revelation here! I needed to hear this. Amen!

[@Watercolorpainter15]

Literally was up this morning at 5am for the millionth time with my baby in a sleep regression. This fueled me! Thank you. We will walk through this season joyful and grateful! 🫶🏻❤️

[@elainasahf]

FTM to a precious 7 week baby boy named Andrew and I have not been choosing joy. I am with you Tori and I am choosing joy today and I will be thankful for this moment in Jesus’ name.

[@EmilieHart-l5f]

Thank you so much! How timely was this?! This reminder of the Joy of the Lord is my strength was brought to me with such convicting power! I needed this today! Thank you Jesus! ❤️

[@lindseymitchell9499]

PREACH! The Spirit who raised Christ from the dead is in us, the same Spirit whose fruit is JOY. Lord, awake us to Your Spirit and equip us to speak truth into our situations! Joy comes in the morning, and let us worship You in the waiting! You walk with us through the valleys, You are our song in the night. Love the song "There Will be Joy in the Morning" by Tauren Wells. My weapon is a melody 🎶

[@destinee7326]

Oh my gosh!! The power in this 😭 literally gave me chills. I NEEDED to hear this. God is SO good. The enemy has NO hold here!

[@freetobe15]

This is SO real, Tori! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@lucynichols1971]

Whew. Needed to hear this! Headed into the newborn stage, any day now, with baby #2 and have been feeling some nerves around the wild postpartum possibilities (1st PP was a doozy). This was such encouragement and a reminder of truth. The joy of the Lord is my strength!!

[@nidiaparra5226]

Wowow the lord never ceases to amaze me with his word! I’m fired up now! Thank you so much for letting the lord lead you!

[@sharon6981]

Wow.. I’ve lost my joy since finding out I’m pregnant with my 5th child. I love my kids, but I’m so tired from being pregnant & raising kids the past 9 years. I hear you.. joy is a choice. I needed to see this video today.

[@lilywojciechowski9906]

Thank you for this! I definitely needed this recently! I think you would love the book, "Our thoughts determine our lives" it's one of my favorites and it's exactly this topic. I think you would really like it!

[@cassiliev1053]

People tell me that I have the joy of the Lord…it really is the Joy of the Lord, because anyone else in my situation would be angry and upset and frustrated, and some days I do get frustrated, but then I think about how amazing the Lord is and all that He’s brought me through. I had a brain injury 9 years ago and I still can’t use my dominant left side like I used to, but I have the Lord 🤩

[@nadinepotgieter9594]

As a mom with grown children..the sleep deprived stage is really hard.Thank you for choosing joy❤God is good

[@TiffanyAnn9]

Wow this was great to hear as encouragement as a mother! Thank you❤

[@neylenahedmont1143]

SO POWERFUL! Thank you God. ❤️

[@emmar4786]

[@Breeanamarie]

TORI THIS VIDEO HIT ME RIGHT IN THE HEART ♥️ 🥹 currently recovering from a knee injury and have found my whole world feel like it’s been turned upside down, but I’m about to enter a whole new season full of answered prayers. I’ll be starting my SLP grad school program this fall, moving to Texas with my soon to be husband and about to graduate. The enemy is done stealing my joy and enjoying the season that is coming. I will no longer give him a foothold of my fears, anxiety, and joy because even in the darkest valley His rod and his staff comfort me!!!

[@melissasworld6494]

Tori...this was amazing. Just what I needed. Our frustration is best spent on the guilty; the enemy. Amen!❤️

[@autumns3890]

Husband has been dealing with incredibly difficult health issues for six months and is now getting insomnia, waking us both up for 1-2hrs nightly. Currently 3rd tri pregnant with first baby and feeling everything. The Lord used this to speak to me today ❤

[@MultiPassionateMoms]

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this was put in front of me on the day I started convincing myself that I didn’t like my baby… I’m 2.5 months into being a mom of 2 under 2. I’m so tired and impatient that I’ve been having negative thoughts about having my baby at all, but I “teach” my thoughts!!! Thank you thank you thank you for this reminder 😭❤️
