Ferry Bring Peoples From Side To Side On Mekong River Of Cambodia Hi Friends, Welcome to my blogger "168 168 Never Quit". This is my new video. if you like this video so please comment, share, subscribe. Thank you very much Rorn Entertainment Channel Mix Plants Along The Street
I’m going to be letting you into my personal space; I mean you’re already in my personal space but I’m gonna draw you in just and a little bit more. One thing I will say before I show you this... I have not always been this way. I really haven’t. I became a Christian in 2018–in case you haven’t watched the video or you’re not familiar with my story–then please do watch the video straight after this video and yeah that’s just the encourage you. Please don’t feel intimidated because this has been a journey. A journey. You say with me...A journey.
So I have currently got my laptop here, because I have written down some things that want to share with you. And do you know what? I’m gonna be honest with you. I wanted to try and freestyle this. I wanted to try and remember everything by memory so that you can think I’m really cool and I know everything. But guess what? That wasn’t the reality and there’s some real gems that I’ve got written down that I want to share with you and I don’t want to forget them. So I thought hey, I’m gonna look at my screen and talk to you at the same time. Okay, alright, so let’s get straight into it. Alright, so now what I’m going to do is... I’m going to explain how spending time in the morning has drawn me closer to God. The first thing that I will say is spending time with God first thing in the morning has just allowed me to be in a space where no distractions or less distractions; well in my case no distractions and just literally being quiet.
For me, it’s an in its an instruction. Its telling me what I should do seek first the kingdom of God. And one of the things that I actually realized from this scripture is... the Holy Spirit one day said to me Ayo, look into the word first So I’m gonna read what it says and this was something that I had shared in my book A Young Woman’s Guide to Seeking God. Two definitions are coming before all others in time or order; earliest; 1st. Foremost in position, rank or importance.
Synonyms include earliest, initial, opening and fundamental. I have applied seeking God first to my daily routine and honestly, it has just done absolute wonders. I’ve learned to value my time with God because even in the place where, you know, it’s just, you know, me speaking to Him me seeking Him... me reading His Word... it’s something that’s of high value to me and is something that I’ve learned thus far on the journey.
God will lay on my heart what I mean is... all of a sudden I’ll have this scripture that will come to my mind... so a perfect example... recently something that happened to me was I was just meditating. And when I say I was meditating I was literally...I had some... DappyTKeys is this amazing piano worship artist if that’s what I’d call him. .but he basically plays like piano and it’s so soothing and so soft.
So I will just literally be still and I’ll just meditate having that in the background and then a thought will come to my mind and it’s a Bible scripture. A very specific scripture and then when I look into that scripture when I read it (I open up my Bible) and then I read it and I realize that that’s an example of God speaking to me through His Word. So I might have planned something the following day; the night before, but then I get in this space with God and then He’s like yeah I want you to read this–this is a word from me to you. So that’s just something that I wanted to point out. And that’s a good example of me being diligent and making plans but then also holding on loosely to my plans. Because ultimately I desire to be in alignment with Gods plan. So it’s like: I have a plan but then I desire God himself more so I’m actually gonna listen to Him when He tells me to do something different.
Something else I’ll say is that some days, I actually wake up... I may wake up later in the morning. So maybe 5 or 6 a.m. and not 4 a.m. because maybe I’ve had a really busy day before and I’m just simply tired. Different things... reasons why I might wake up a bit later in the morning Sometimes I do snooze. I am a human being, I promise you. Sometimes I feel... I just like.. I just don’t want to get up, so sometimes I really just don’t. So if that’s you please don’t feel bad right now. The most important thing is that you start making steps toward seeking God first above all else. It’s about the steps that you’re taking. Psalms 91 verse 1 gives us a really good illustration of them value of the secret place. And when I say secret place I mean time where it’s just you and God.
He who dwells in the shelter of the most high will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty whose power no enemy can withstand. I want to paint a picture... think of the secret places that we enjoyed hiding in as children. Imagine being 10 years old and finding a secret hiding place under the stairs or in the bushes.
You slipped inside that secret place and as you did it felt magical; you felt safe. You felt protected from the world. Now you imagined that you could live there and all the times you were there no one could find you. God has a secret hiding place and He invites us to join Him there. And notice that He doesn’t invite us to visit...He invites us to dwell to; abide; to stay; to remain. The promise is to those who dwell there. To dwell means to live there it becomes our address.
God invites us to pack up and move in you know to His secret place. But to do this we have to walk away from conforming to cultures; to society’s way of doing things. We just have to be willing to invest in our quiet time with God. We must be willing to quiet our hearts and just allow Him to investigate those innermost things about us that you know.. we reveal to nobody else.
The secret place is a place where we can be transparent and really honest with God. So that’s it for this week’s video.
