Signs

"You don't need a sign from something scripture is saying don't do" hit too close to home

This episode is exactly what I needed right now at this time in my life. I just went through a breakup this week with a very special woman, but because of how it all went down, I've been unsure of the future. This morning I was reminded in prayer of specific, significant signs that God has answered in the past when I've prayed about her "the one." I've debating all morning with myself all morning whether or not His answers have been significant enough to believe in, or if I'm just being emotional after the breakup. But you guys shared amazing wisdom in this episode, and I'm going to stop asking for signs and just trust in the conviction He's given me over the years. This is a very necessary time of singleness with God, and for how long I don't know, but I'm trusting in the promises He's given me that He's not done with her and I yet. Thank you guys, and praise God for your ministry!!

The sign I need to stop asking for is, “am I loved?”

God is just wonderful :") The past couple weeks, this was the exact lesson that He had been trying to teach me, to stop relying on signs about this specific topic I'm praying about. The timing is insane! This was truly reassuring. God bless you guys abundantly from His riches ❤

This video was my sign to stop looking for an easy way out and instead trust in the words that God has already provided for me.

It's amazing how God is working through you two and I am so grateful. I too have been looking at a lot of Christian content searching. Searching for everything and anything that will bring me closer to Jesus, when all I need is THE WORD of GOD. Thank You God for The Word! Thank You God for giving us Your Son. Thank You Jesus for Your Sacrifice!!!!

What sign do you need to stop asking God for? This question hit home. I really liked what Lokelani said about how our sign is the conviction that God gives us. Recently I have had certain convictions on my heart to do something like pray for someone, or stop by someone's house. I kept questioning Him and asking Him to show me if this was right, but all along I should be trusting Him to lead me - the Holy Spirit lives in me!

But like why is this coming at such a good time? My goodness, God does it again. Amen

Love this one. We are definitely in a time when we seem to worship the signs, wonders, and goosebumps more than we worship the God behind them. We put more effort into going to a particular worship experience, conference, or revival than simply being alone with God in scripture and in prayer. I myself am guilty of spending a lot of time watching YouTube videos about God hoping to find that hidden nugget that will change everything but realizing that many of these videos are a poor substitute for doing the hard work of being alone in study and prayer. I'm also convicted by the fact that Jesus tells us that they will know us by the love we have for one another, His new commandment was that we should love one another, and Paul writes that love is the superior spiritual gift, yet few people will seek to attain this. We want the other gifts, the healings, the tongues, the prophetic words, the ability to see into the spiritual realm, and other goosebumpy Instagram-worthy experiences. This is something I've been praying for, trying to love as He commands. Honestly, that's pretty tough in certain situations, but when I feel that love coming through and the peace that accompanies it, it's such an amazing feeling.

This was such a great word. I’ve always wondered about signs, yet felt guilt for wanting it. Jesus is the sign! Needed to hear this and identify my itching ears.

Wonderful episode. Reminds me of Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to the patterns of the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is.” (Discernment: Is being able to test the ways of the world with God’s word). We have to remember that any sign we need is in God’s word. That’s where the real super power is. Amen.

Thank you so much for this video. I came out of New age to Christ in 2021/beginning of 22. Coming out of new age my mind was so indoctrinated by signs and confirmations. I was taught in new age to look for signs and that there will be signs everywhere. I found myself obsessed with signs and symbols to confirm my own biases. God convicted me of that early in my walk with Christ but I recently got convicted again that some of those behaviors were still present and that “God” was enough. He asked me to put down the golden calf of signs in my life and to worship Him! I recently made a video talking about us having itching ears, and being “sign junkies”. It was personally convicting and also something I immediately repented for and released to God. It’s so funny, because I now have so much more peace and have let go of anxiety attached to me “needing” a sign. God showed me that just as it is clear to choose Jesus as your Lord and Savior in the process of salvation, any other decision I am presented with, choose Jesus! So many people are prophetic word obsessed, sign obsessed, confirmation obsessed, and it causes us to become distant from God and His Word. This not only affects our faith but our mental health because it is rooted in fear of not knowing and idolizing worldly knowledge versus the truth and wisdom of God! Matthew 24:24 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

A sign that I need to stop asking God for is obeying him. And also I could take my time and actually love my prayer time.

i realized that I have been thankful for the opportunity that God has given me. I work in a school in NYC and Jesus has put me here for a reason. To be an example of Lord Jesus. So thank you Lord

Hello friends. By the way, this is an excellent question. I keep asking if the Holy Spirit is with me. I'm still new in my walk. However, I am struggling to stay focused because of my concerns (marriage/pending divorce). Navigating and having faith is a hard job. Nonetheless, pushing forward and asking for discernment and understanding, oh, and not doing things on my own will, you will fail, trust me. All that to say, I'm here for the long haul and walk with my Lord, Jesus Christ❣️

Hello, dear servants of Amen podcast! I stumbled across your podcast when I was going through problems of overthinking about my purpose of life and my ministry. (I grew up in a Christian family. My dad is a korean missionary who came to Russia when he was a student, and my mom was also saved around the age of 21-22. English is not my first language). And as Alex was mentioned in this episode, I had eaching ears. I searched for some affirmations and signs outside of the Bible. I consumed a lot of information. I was seeking for love and I realized that I praised the worldly view, my own independence and people's opinions. I think I need to stop asking God for sign about my future marriage. I prayed about it recently and also meditate on scriptures and I understood that I was seeking for my own comfort. God wants me to spend more time with Him trough prayer and reading Bible, through writing my reflections, not numbing myself with social media content and shows. I'm so thankful to God about your sermons. They made me think about God's word more deeply in my everyday life. Thank you so much for your service 🙏

I've been looking for a channel like this I just finished the book of Matthew it's so good

For me I need to stop asking God for a sign of what I am going to be in the future. I need to trust that he is preparing me right now without me even knowing
