I took 2 weeks off from Twitter and Instagram and the Lord really made me aware of some things. So, I decided I would share what I& #39;ve learned AND continue to learn during this quarantine. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦋" title="Butterfly" aria-label="Emoji: Butterfly">

On March 22, I felt in my Spirit that I needed to take a break from Twitter, but ->
there was also this strong pressing in my Spirit to take a break from Instagram AND finally the hardest one (kind of), my K-dramas. Therefore, I deleted the Instagram app and Viki app off my phone, and logged out of Twitter. I will admit that the very next day I wanted to ->
download the apps back on my phone because I missed it, and this made me realize that I was addicted to them. I had made Twitter and Instagram an idol. It was a shock to me because I didn& #39;t think I was addicted until I started my fast. Another thing God made me ->
aware of was how I was basing my worth off of what others said about me. I was so worried about how others viewed me on social media that I took my eyes off the One in whom my worth really came from! THE CONVICTION! So, on my fast I started watching more sermons by->
Michael Todd, Sadie Robertson, Charles Metcalf, and the conviction that came from watching those sermons started to change my life! From Michael Todd I learned that I AM the MINISTER. From Sadie Robertson I learned that God has a calling on my life. From Charles Metcalf I ->
learned that I need to submit EVERYTHING to God. I started to think about the reasons why I would post things on Twitter and Instagram; was it to truly spread God& #39;s Word to people around the world? Or was I tweeting and posting things on these apps to gain attention, seek ->
validation, find my worth, to get likes, retweets, and see comments??? Well, 10% of me genuinely wanted to share the Gospel with others and that other 90% of me was lost, broken, and seeking validation from others. I got caught up in these worldly things that I took my focus ->
off of God. It really made me look at the way I was living very differently. I immediately submitted my Twitter, YouTube Channel, Instagram, personality, potential, plans, power, and myself into His hands!! I encourage you to watch Charles Metcalf& #39;s sermon called "My Version ->
is in Revision" because it will snatch ya edges! It made me realize that I can& #39;t grow in what God& #39;s called me to do until I SUBMIT everything down before His feet. This fast was so good, BUT of course, the enemy gotta come and mess with you while you& #39;re trying to better ->
yourself. Yo, he really tried it...and succeeded a little bit until I started to remember scripture, talked with God more, and was given advice by my loving mother. He brought up my past and made me feel so unworthy of the calling that God placed on my life. I started saying, ->
"I can& #39;t minister to others because I& #39;m not qualified. God can& #39;t possible use me. I got too much baggage," and this went one for awhile until I started to remember what GOD said. 1 John 1:9 popped up which says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive ->
us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." The enemy has NO power over me. He is already defeated. Christ stands in victory!! He has the last say in EVERYTHING! HALLELUJAH!!! I said to myself, "I& #39;m going to come back on social media on April 5th." Ha, it& #39;s here and ->
I honestly didn& #39;t want to come back because I didn& #39;t want this to become an idol anymore like it had in the past. I don& #39;t want this to consume me anymore. There& #39;s a WHOLE new look on life now. God continues to teach me who he is! I encourage you to take a fast as well!! It& #39;s ->
good for the soul. I will continue to minister to people, be an encouragement, be a good friend, be a good example, be transparent in hopes of helping other brothers and sisters, and the only difference is NOW I know my worth is in God. He loves me. He is for me. He is in ->
control. Everyday I choose to submit my entire day to Him. Everyday, even though my flesh is weak, I will submit myself to Him. I hope this has encouraged you. I love all of you so much! The verse of the day comes from Col. 1:17! Be blessed!!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦋" title="Butterfly" aria-label="Emoji: Butterfly">Happy Sunday!
