When I tell you I JUST prayed about this in tears because I didn’t know how to move in terms of a job and an apartment. God is good.

[keniavallejos]

I’ve been looking for this answer for so long. I couldn’t understand why God was telling me to be still when clearly he knows I need a job and I’ve been looking for a long time. I trust him to find me a job in a healthy work environment, where I can make friends and grow my skills and stay there long term so that I can get my own apartment. May God bless you and your channel ❤

I needed this word at this exact moment ❤God is good! He has given me my answer through you. I was so confused whether I was acting on my own accord or by faith. You are right…context is so important. Thank you so much for sharingggg 🎉Thank you. Have a blessed day everyone. Let’s keep holding on to faith ❤

This is me. I'm always trying to help God and manipulate the situation. Im always trying to have a Plan B. This usually makes things works. I'm so glad I found your channel.

Keeping a guard concerning the voices of others is important. When others are speaking something contrary to what your spirit knows God is saying causes unrest and confusion. His ways aren’t our ways so it often looks contrary to common sense. I have had to lock out well meaning friends and family from speaking over me without knowing how God is working in me. I appreciate their heart, but I’ve learned not to open myself up to voices counter to Holy Spirit. I have been in this place many times, and in fact am in this place now.

Dear Deborah, I am literally coming off a day of wrestling with faith vrs works. Tomorrow my rent is due, I'm also praying for a car. I wasn't sure how to exercise faith but told the landlord I'll have the money tomorrow whilst thinking "But Lord how?" I told my son we would have a new car soon after I test drove my dream car " then saying Lord, how" then I asked the Holy Spirit to show me what to do to exercise my faith so I can receive from ABBA Father because I know our needs have been provided for already. Being a single mum to a special needs child has been quite overwhelming and I'm always asking for strength and support from the Lord thru His Grace. I will continue to speak Ps 84:11 and in faith believe for it. God bless you for this awesome word of wisdom❤

AMEN! This is so true from my experience. I've lost my previous job during the pandemic in 2020. In December 2021, I knelt down in prayer telling God "Lord, I entrust everything to you. I will not apply any job on my own. I know you have a solid plan for me." And soon, I received a call from the company I really liked and offered me a job and now I am promoted. All because of God. AMEN!

God is moving through you! This is the exact place that I’m in. Trusting God in the stillness per obedience.

Your channel has confirmed things for me even regarding my next. Keep letting Him use you 🤍

Very substantial, Sis!
I'm literally in between the two right now and the Holy Spirit is leading me and helping me to obey and don't counteract anything right now in my life and I thank Him. As I wrote earlier in the comment section of the "Apartment Testimony" and one of the "Faith Talks" videos, I don't have a job, I've been admitted into a university in the USA and have no funding and I need a sponsorship, etc, with regards to the admission and needs sponsorship aspect, like who haven't I contacted, I applied to the school's scholarship but didn't qualify for it, I did all I could but nothing and now all my options are exhausted. I even started applying for a "state aid" where I'll be studying but the Holy Spirit prompted me and said has God told you to? So after hearing that I didn't even apply again. Before that God has already told me He'll support and help me so I was like "Adele just relax for God and do the needful". So I was putting in works for everything based on this whereby I had to be "still for God to do His work". I'm still trusting God and I know He'll come through for me at the right time and he won't delay! With my options been exhausted, God has already taken it from there and he's working it out which I do not perceive "Isaiah 43:19" because he's making a way in the deserts and streams in the wasteland. This will be mind-blowing and will take me by surprise, I prophesy! Fast Forward, with regards to me being unemployed for 3 years now and still with my parents at the age of 21 hmm, I've started rebuilding my resume to apply for on-campus and off-campus jobs in the school and in the state and with this is "faith and deeds because I know God will give me a job even if I don't have some of the documents and no matter the tons of requirements and restrictions for international students in the USA. God will deal with that so I need only to be still in the documentation trait! So I'm doing the needful by having faith and trusting God, praying, sowing seeds, worshipping, reading the bible, and all the good stuff, etc.
Based on this verse "Proverbs 16:2", I've had a lot of plans and reflections in my heart but I've to wait for God to examine them and see the true one to give me a wise response/reply from his tongue. 😭😭 This is when you're walking in God's Will and I know his plans for me will succeed forever because I've committed all my ways to the Lord "Proverbs 16:3"

This is so lengthy but I hope It'll transform someone to be inspired and never lose faith in God.

Sis, may you walk in the Anointing of Jakin and Boaz forever thus you been spiritual and wealthy at the same time forever "1 kings 7:21", and may he strengthen you, in Jesus' name Amen.

Yes i needed this, no back up plans, family members cant see my faith, God will make a way.

[AddieMon]

What I’ve learned is sometimes faith with work is ACTUALLY being still. The act of not trying to take things in my own hands and according to my limited human understanding and trusting God … specially with things I’ve already tried to do myself and seem like a shut door everytime. Trusting the Lord will come through for me is what the Lord calls faith at work 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[markmnjeru]

I wish I could express just how much God is using you to reach poeple. I am very much in the same situation of needing a place and have been struggling with whether constantly looking for apartments after believing that God will provide one is me acting in faith or lack of faith. This video is an answer to prayer, and I just wanna say thank you and I pray that God will continue to work through you.

[kameisharobinson]

Thank you so much this teaches me how to stay focused on god everyday 🙏🙏🙌

[KazmiHome-jqml]

I done the same. Walked around the house I now own for 7 days and was purchasing things before we even had a deposit saved. <3

[yvonnedonaldson]

Thank you sharing this message. I am struggling with this issue. I’m currently looking for a new job and and I’m looking at a particular company and have been praying for the job freeze to end, but wanting to apply for other jobs has backups. I’m now praying for clarity. Your message has helped me to see that I need to get closer to God and listen for his voice. Thanks again and may God continue to bless you. 🙏🏾

[lesaforbes]

I'm currently in this situation. I lost my job 4 days ago and I'm stepping deep in my faith. I'm applying for jobs, praying to our Father and not allowing fear to take over. Fear tried to stop me from buying food ( I have some money put up but was concerned to spend it). I trust in the Lord and he has Never failed nor forsake me. I love him sooo much!! And I know I was meant to hear this. Thank you Father & Deborah!!! 👃🥰😇

[wandajohnson]

Just like the last commenter, I was confused as to weather I was doing to much to advance my future housing and financial situation. Now I know it’s time to walk by Faith in what’s already been prepared & promised by God. Rest - Release Everything Starting Today 😊
