  • do I need to meet with other Christians as a Christian?

    Hey friends! Today, I want to talk about why it's important for Christians to meet together and how it impacts our faith walk! I know some of you might not be used to getting plugged into a local church or even a small group, but I challenge you to pray about it earnestly and seek God's face regarding what He wants you to do. Going to church online has become easily accessible but that doesn't mean that your relationship with God should stop there. I know it's uncomfortable to be seen and see others on a consistent basis but we all need it in order to grow properly in our faith walk. As always, I hope this video encourages you and builds you up! Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments section down below!

    These are the Bible verses that I mention in the video!
    James 5:16
    Matthew 5:27-28
    Romans 12:4-8 AMP
    John 15:5
    Hebrews 10:24 AMP
    James 2:18
    Hebrews 10:25 AMP
    Ecclesiastes 4:10 AMP
    John 16:33
    Galatians 6:2
    Matthew 18:20

  • how to pray to God
    how do I pray? Today God wanted me to share some things on how to pray and the things I keep in mind when I do pray to God! Prayer to me is communicating with God, talking to God and listening to God.
    Here are some of the points that I talk through regarding prayer!
    Know you hear from God
    Visualize God
    God loves a humble heart
    There's not a formula you follow to pray
    God is hearing from the other side. He remembers everything you pray
    Be still and know God is God, clear your mind
    Search him with all your heart and He will be found by you
    Sitting and listening is also prayer
    Your audience is God, not other people
    These are the Bible verses that I mention in the video!
    1 Timothy 2:5
    Hebrews 4:14-16
    John 10:27
    Hebrews 10:19-22
    Psalms 145:17
    Genesis 1:26 and John 1:3
    Matthew 6:7 AMP
    James 1:13-15
    Psalms 119:105
    Matthew 6:33 AMP
    Numbers 23:19
    1 Corinthians 13:4-7
    Jeremiah 29:13
    Deuteronomy 4:29
    Hebrews 11:6 AMP
    Romans 10:17
    Matthew 7:7-11 AMP
    James 4:3
    I hope this helps and encourages you on your faith walk with God!

  • what are spiritual gifts from God and how do I use them? #spiritualgifts #holyspirit
    What are spiritual gifts? How do I use them? Do spiritual gifts still exist? Today I talk about bible verses that talk about spiritual gifts and its function in the church! I believe that spiritual gifts definitely exist today, because that's what the bible says and I've experienced them in my own life! God wants to equip you to use your spiritual gifts. Do not be uninformed and neglect them as Paul would say it haha. I hope this encourages you for boldness in your ministry or at least exposes you to more of God's power and glory!
    Here are the verses that I talk through. I'm reading from the AMP version!
    1 Corinthians 12:1-11 @1:50
    Romans 12:4-8 @21:15
    1 Peter 4:10-11 @26:09
    Ephesians 6:12 @29:33
    These are the other verses that I highly recommend you read!
    1 Corinthians 13: 1-3
    1 Corinthians 14: 1-15

  • what does be still and know that I am God mean #psalm46 #bestillandknow #christiangirl #christian

    I was spending time with God today and I felt like he was telling me to be still and know that He is God...and to be honest that feels so challenging to do. But I talk about a few ways that's helped me be still and know He is God in the midst of my highs and lows. I hope this encourages you in your faith journey!

  • why should I have a relationship with God?

    guess what?...  God loves you! I hope this video encourages you to pursue a relationship with Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Spirit. They love you so, so, so much. Having a relationship with them helps me make hard decisions in life, gives me peace throughout hard times and allows me to pursue my big dreams in life! If you're wondering what the purpose of life is or are wanting to grow closer to God, then you've come to the right place.   Wow God is good. This may be the smoothest video I've made without any planning haha. The more you risk and trust, the more room you give God to show up!   Love,   Jamie

  • knowing how to rest

    Have you ever felt so tired and weary and you don't even know why? It's because the world is constantly telling us to strive and not be. And all of that pressure builds up internally in our soul. Today I talk about how to actually rest from all the chaos and striving that's so prevalent in our society! I believe the answer is getting to know Jesus and spending time with the One who loves us and cares for us and heals us from our trauma. We don't have to try to be or strive to be. We just are. We are loved, precious, valuable. And when we know that as part of our identity, we can be at rest. I love you guys and God bless :)

  • how to forgive as God forgave us
    Hey everyone! I hope you're having a lovely day. This week I felt like God wanted me to talk about forgiveness and what the bible says about it. So let's start off the new year with the important topic of forgiveness. 
    Important things to note:
    A huge misconception is that forgiving someone is forgetting what they did and pretending nothing happened without processing it. It's not that at all. Even with forgiveness, you can still remember the incident and still have a heart of love towards that person. Forgiveness is also not saying that what the other person did was okay or that they have the right to keep hurting you.
    Another misconception is that just because you forgive someone, they can access your heart again. Meaning you have to share your life with them in a very meaningful and vulnerable way. But that's not true because there is a difference between trusting someone and loving someone. You can love without trusting them as you would a super close friend. 
    You also don't need the other person to apologize or be present for you to forgive them. Forgiveness happens in the heart and you can forgive from anywhere. And a lot of the times, people won't apologize for the hurt they've done to you but you still need to forgive them.
    Forgiveness is letting go of the anger, resentment and bitterness towards people who have hurt you.
