20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit

• Support your community, “Iron sharpens Iron.” - Proverbs 27:17

• Good Examples: Powerpuff Girls, Charles Angels, Alvin and the Chipmunks

• Bad Examples: The 3 stooges, dumb and dumber, mean girls 

Do it Holy, intentional, and in God's way 

21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.

• Do not wait for people's approval, but God's love and mercy 

• In God's grace, we will grow an understanding of His will, and in sitting in His love, we see what we need to grow and build on. 

• Not indulging in self-righteousness/entitlement 

22 And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering

• Help others who have lost their way

• Be gentle and understanding 

• When preaching the Gospel, be genuine about God's love

23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives

• Do not be passive but intentional 

• Protecting you and them 

• Do not adapt the ways of the world in helping others

• Example:

• Struggles:  Alcoholism, pride, greed

• If you have the same issues, learn to send help through someone else, so you do not get tempted as well 

• After acknowledging temptation, find someone to help drag this person out of the fire  

• Ant/mouse traps: be the one who warns others outside the trap, not in it!

Welcome backk to GodzVillage,

Talking to God is easy

Talking with God is what feels awkward....at first.
You’re not always going to hear an audible voice.

God speaks personally.

Just like a parent talks to each child differently, BUT loves ALL equally. God uniquely connects with each of us. But His Word stays the foundation. God's will still needs to be filled.

For me, God speaks through:
• questions
• conviction
• reflection
• honesty

I had to remove distractions, admit procrastination, and be real about why I was avoiding what He called me to do.

Talking to God looks like:
🙏 praising Him
🤍 being honest about guilt or fear
🤫 sitting in silence
📖 grounding it all in Scripture

You don’t need perfect words, just intention.
Start small. Five minutes is a start.
He wants your heart, not perfection.

Stay patient. Stay present. Stay consistent!

🎙️Welcome back to GodsVillage! 🤍

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to make faithful decisions and what it looks like to truly seek God before choosing a path.

Life is full of choices, and sometimes we’re led by emotions, friends, or what seems easiest in the moment. But faithful decisions come from turning to God first through prayer, Scripture, and learning to recognize His voice.

💭 Reflective Questions:

• What are you led by when making decisions?

• Does your choice lead to good or harmful results?

• After deciding, do you feel peace or confusion?

• Is the decision God-centered or self-centered?

• Do you seek God in prayer or look for random signs?

📖 We also look at the leadership of Nehemiah, who showed how prayer, wisdom, and trusting God can guide big decisions.

✨ Quick testimony: Asking God for help understanding the Bible and how that prayer connected me with the book 30 Days to Understand the Bible through a conversation with my cousin. A reminder that God answers prayers in ways we might not expect.

💡 Final Thought:

Faithful decisions come from seeking God, being patient, and trusting that He will guide you step by step.

Stay safe out here Villagerzz 🤍

Spring'24

Helloo0ooOo,

Rec '24

Nehemiah saw the need and tended towards it

Did not back down from doubts, pressure, and lack of structure

Nehemiah used his resources to the max, showing excellence and determination not only to finish building up the wall, but honoring God

Praying in every step for help and wisdom

🎙️ Love, Boundaries & Growth ❤️ '24

In this episode of GodzVillage, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about love myself, my family, and God’s perspective 🌱.

💡 Growing up, I protected myself and distanced from some things, but I realized love is shown through actions, not just words.

💖 With my family, I had to unlearn that love = affection or time together and understand that sometimes love means meeting people where they are.

⏳ For me, love is about showing up, giving time, and being present, even if it’s not always recognized.

💭 Takeaway: Love takes patience, action, and understanding. Learn to see it through God’s eyes and respect others’ ways it’s a key part of growing in faith and relationships.

🎙️ Welcome to GodzVillage,Recently went through a breakup and yeah… it was ghetto 😭But God used it to show me something deeper.Sometimes God isn’t just calling you to break up with a person; He’s calling you to break up with the flesh and the world.If you chase fleshly desires, you will get hurt.Peace is found hiding in God, not in emotions or the flesh.Jesus BEEN through heartbreak. Yet He had the biggest one.Rejected, disrespected, and abused by the world He helped create, and Jesus still chose to love and die for us.God reminded me:“I didn’t create you to hate people. I created you to love.”Breaking off from the world looks like:• asking, “Is this pulling me closer to God or further away?”• checking if something is building me or draining me• noticing when I’m losing myself just to keep somethingIf it’s from God, it adds to and grows you.If it’s from the enemy, it steals, kills, and destroys quietly.What helped me:1️⃣ Write down your values2️⃣ Ask: Am I losing myself or growing in God?3️⃣ Get godly counsel, don’t isolate4️⃣ Let yourself be poured into5️⃣ Set boundaries (know your weak points)6️⃣ Let go fully, not halfway, and choose peaceYou don’t realize how trapped you are until you try to leave.Freedom comes when you trust God with what you’re releasing.God loves you.He’s here to heal and build with you, NOT deteriorate you.Let the Holy Spirit guide you 🤍Stay safe out here.#GodsVillage #FaithWalk #BreakingFromTheWorld #ChristianHealing #SpiritualGrowth📲 Follow GodzVillage:IG: Godzvillage⁠FB: ⁠GodsVillage Kayla⁠TikTok: ⁠Godsvillage⁠

rec dec. 27'2025

Hey fam! Today, I want to break down Matthew 12:9-14, where Jesus heals a man with a shriveled hand on the Sabbath.

💡 Takeaways:

• Step into uncomfortable places: Jesus went where He wasn’t wanted to save others. 🏛️

• Do good anytime: It’s lawful to help, not just follow rules. 🙌

• Full restoration: God restores fully physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 🖐️💛

• Heart over law: Generosity and genuine love matter more than blind rule-following. ❤️

💬 Reflection:

God notices us, knows us by name, and loves us even in our struggles. Our obedience should come from genuine love, not blind rule-following. God’s generosity isn’t bound by religion or time it pours out anytime, anywhere. 🌟

🍞Final Thought:

Step into the uncomfortable. Do good, genuinely. Trust God to restore FULLY. His love and mercy go beyond rules.
