00:00Welcome everyone! We are happy that you are here with us today. We want to share
00:16quickly with you a very important message that will change our life. Please stay
00:22until the end. It is these morning habits that take God away from you. Few people
00:29know them. Have you ever wondered if your morning habits could affect your spiritual life?
00:36In this video, we discover these morning habits that can involuntarily take God away from you.
00:42Learn to recognize and change these habits to improve your spiritual connection and start
00:49your day on a positive note. How are you my daughter? I hope you slept well.
00:59Did you do your morning devotion? Dad, hello, no I didn't.
01:05In short, I have been watching you for so long hoping that you would change. Every morning,
01:13the first thing you do is take your gadgets and watch movies,
01:17play with your phone. These things are bad. We don't start a day like that.
01:25I'm sorry dad. I can't even explain it. I started pressing my phone
01:33before I remembered that I hadn't prayed yet. I'll do it right away, dad.
01:39Do you know that you unconsciously pushed God away from you? And that you let
01:46the demons into your life? Dad, how? Now listen to me. I'm going to tell you
01:54this morning habit that you do and that takes God away from you. Let worry dominate your
02:05thoughts. The morning can prevent you from counting on the strength and providence of God, which affects
02:10your spiritual and emotional well-being. Worry is often a sign that you do not
02:16fully trust God's plan and providence for your life. When you allow anxiety
02:22and fear to take over your thoughts, you essentially doubt God's ability
02:27to take care of you. This lack of confidence can take you away from his presence and weaken
02:33your faith. Trusting God means believing that he has control of the situation and that he
02:39will provide for your needs, as uncertain or difficult as your circumstances may seem.
02:44The Bible says in Philippians 4 verse 6, Do not worry about anything, but in any case
02:52let your needs be known to God by prayers and supplications, with acts of grace.
02:57And the peace of God, which surpasses all intelligence, will keep your hearts and thoughts in Jesus Christ.
03:04Anxiety consumes your mental energy, preventing you from focusing on God and his promises.
03:11Instead of starting your day with a clear mind and an open heart towards God,
03:17you are concerned about your worries and fears. This distraction can prevent you
03:23from hearing God's voice and recognizing his hand in your life. Focusing on worries
03:29instead of God's promises can lead to a cycle of anxiety and fear that
03:33eclipses your spiritual growth. The anxiety continues to create a spiritual blockage,
03:47preventing you from feeling the peace and comfort of God. The Bible encourages us to entrust our
03:53anxieties to God because he takes care of us. When you cling to your worries
03:59instead of abandoning them to God, you miss the peace that trust in him provides.
04:04This spiritual blockage can hamper your ability to connect to God in prayer and worship,
04:10because your mind is consumed by fear instead of faith. Anxiety does not only affect you
04:17spiritually. It also has consequences on your physical and emotional health.
04:22Chronic anxiety can lead to health problems related to stress, fatigue and
04:29emotional exhaustion. This tension can make the practice of spiritual practices such as
04:35prayer, reading scriptures and participating in religious services difficult. By letting
04:41anxiety dominate your mornings, you prepare for a day full of stress and tension,
04:46which can take you even further away from God. Anxiety slows your spiritual growth by
04:53forcing you to focus on your problems rather than on God's solutions. It
04:58prevents you from advancing in faith and taking bold measures that correspond to
05:02the will of God for your life. When you are worried,
05:07you risk missing opportunities to serve others, to share your faith and to live
05:13the fullness of life that God has for you. Anxiety deprives you of joy and gratitude,
05:25which are essential elements of a dynamic spiritual life. Instead of starting your day
05:31with a feeling of joy and recognition for God's blessings, you start with a
05:37heavy heart and a clouded mind. This lack of joy and gratitude can hamper your ability to
05:43worship God with all your heart and to appreciate the beauty of his creation and the goodness of his
05:47resources. Anxiety can lead to isolation, because you risk moving away from others
05:54to focus on your own concerns. This isolation can deprive you of the support and
06:00encouragement of your Christian community, which is a shame, because fraternal communion
06:07is one of the four pillars of faith. Indeed, the first disciples persevered in four pillars
06:13of faith to be strong Christians. Acts 2 hours 42 to 43, they persevered in the teaching of the
06:20apostles, in fraternal communion, in the fraction of bread, and in prayers. The fear
06:27took hold of everyone, and there was a lot of prodigy and miracles by the apostles. Participating
06:33in fraternal communion is essential to growth and spiritual strength, because it
06:38offers opportunities for communion, responsibility and shared prayer. To fight
06:44anxiety, start your morning with practices that promote trust and
06:49peace in God. Start by praying, asking God to take control of your day and
06:55help you trust his plan. Meditate on the scriptures that remind you of the fidelity
07:01and providence of God, as Philippians 4 verses 6 to 7 and Matthew 6 verses 25 to 34. Practice
07:09gratitude by making a list of the things for which you are grateful and by
07:13reflecting on the past fidelity of God in your life. By moving your attention
07:19from your worries to God's promises, you can start your day with a feeling of
07:24peace and confidence, knowing that God is at the command and that he will provide for all your needs.
07:28Start your day without devoting time to prayer and devotion can create a
07:44spiritual disconnection that affects all aspects of your life. Without devoting time to prayer,
07:51your spiritual concentration can weaken. Prayer helps to center your mind and heart on God,
07:58bringing you the clarity necessary to face the challenges and make the decisions
08:02you will be confronted with throughout the day. If you neglect this essential practice,
08:08you risk feeling dispersed and without foundation, more vulnerable to distractions and temptations.
08:15Prayer and devotion are not limited to speaking to God. It is also about listening. This moment
08:23of silence allows you to listen to the voice of God, to seek his direction and his wisdom
08:28for your day. When you forget this moment, you pass by the divine direction that
08:34can enlighten your path and help you make choices in accordance with God's will.
08:39The fact of systematically missing your time of prayer and devotion can lead to a
08:44gradual weakening of your faith. Just as muscles atrophy without regular exercise,
08:50your spiritual strength decreases without a regular connection with God. This weakening
08:57can make it more difficult to remain firm in your faith during trials, which can lead to
09:02feelings of doubt and discouragement. Prayer and devotion give you the opportunity to
09:08entrust your burdens to God, to find peace and comfort in his presence. If you skip this
09:14moment, you risk carrying the weight of your worries and your stress alone, which can
09:19lead to an emotional imbalance. Over time, this can manifest itself as an increased anxiety,
09:26an irritability, an unequal depression, because you miss the spiritual renewal
09:32that time gives with God. Prayer and devotion are also
09:37moments to reflect on God's blessings and express your gratitude. If you neglect
09:43this practice, you risk starting to neglect the daily blessings of your life,
09:48considering them as acquired. This lack of gratitude can lead to a feeling of
09:54right or dissatisfaction, further moving you away from the joy and peace of God.
09:58Your relationship with God gives tone to your relationships with others. Starting your day
10:07without connecting with God can have an impact on your interactions throughout the day. You
10:13could find yourself more responsive, less patient and less compatible, because you
10:18miss the grace and strength that the fact of starting your day in the presence of God
10:23gives you. Over time, not praying and not devoting yourself to devotion can
10:29lead to spiritual dryness. You may feel disconnected from God and have trouble
10:35feeling his presence and his love. This spiritual dryness can be discouraging and
10:42lead you to question your faith, which makes perseverance more difficult in
10:47your spiritual path. Every day presents opportunities for spiritual growth,
10:53moments where you can learn, be challenged and deepen your relationship with God.
10:58By skipping prayer and devotion, you risk missing these opportunities, stagnating in
11:05your spiritual growth instead of moving forward. It is good of you. Incorporating
11:16prayer and devotion in your morning routine gives a positive and spiritual tone to the
11:20rest of your day. This strengthens you with spiritual concentration, advice and the
11:26strength necessary to face everything that presents itself to you, deepening your
11:31relationship with God and enriching your general well-being. Making a priority,
11:37even if it means getting up a little earlier or reorganizing your schedule.
11:42The rewards of starting your day with God are deep and wide-ranging,
11:47affecting all areas of your life. Having a negative inner speech in the morning can
11:53give a negative tone to the day and considerably affect your spiritual well-being.
11:58When you start your day with thoughts that criticize or belittle you,
12:03you erode your self-esteem. This negative perception of yourself can make you feel
12:10unworthy of God's love and blessings. Do not forget that you were created in the image of God
12:16and that you are deeply appreciated by Him. Allowing a negative inner speech to dominate
12:22your mornings absorbs this divine truth and takes you away from the affirmative love of God.
12:26Gratitude is a powerful spiritual practice that moves your attention from what is
12:32wrong to what is right in your life. The negative thoughts you have
12:37towards yourself can eclipse your ability to recognize your blessings and be
12:42grateful. By focusing on your flaws and perceived failures, you miss the opportunity to start
12:48your day with a heart full of gratitude. Gratitude aligns your heart with God's goodness
12:55and invites His presence in your day. Negative thoughts can create an aura of
13:10negativity around you, affecting not only your mood, but also your spiritual atmosphere.
13:16This negative energy can act as a barrier between you and God, making it more difficult to feel
13:23His presence and hear His voice. Starting your day with a negative inner speech can
13:29create a precedent in the way you perceive and react to situations throughout the day,
13:34leading to a cycle of negativity that takes you away from the peace and joy of God.
13:39The Bible says in Proverbs 18 verses 21,
13:42Death and life are in the power of the tongue, which conclaims and eats the fruits.
13:47Negative discourses on yourself can make you feel disconnected from your identity and
13:53your spiritual objective. They can create a feeling of despair and defeat,
13:58which are contrary to the faith and hope that God inculcates in us.
14:02This disconnection can hinder your ability to commit yourself to a significant prayer and cult,
14:08because you can feel unworthy or distant from God. The way you see yourself and
14:14speak to yourself is often reflected in the way you interact with others.
14:18A negative inner speech can make you more critical and less compatible,
14:24which affects your relationships with your family, friends and colleagues.
14:28This tension in your relationships can isolate you more,
14:32making the experience of the community aspect of love and support from God more difficult.
14:37Yes, sir. I understand.
14:42To counter the negative inner speech, start your day with affirmations based on the
14:49word of God. Remember these promises and your identity in Christ.
14:54Meditate on the scriptures which speak of the love of God,
14:58his grace and the value he gives you. In doing so, give your day a positive
15:04tone and an imprint of faith, by inviting the presence of God and aligning yourself with his
15:09truth and his design. Starting the day with negative news or social media
15:14can lead to a pessimistic vision and a troubled mind. Negative media can
15:20prevent you from focusing on the presence and promises of God. They can increase
15:26feelings of anxiety and stress, making it more difficult to feel the peace of God.
15:31A continuous exposure to negativity can corrupt your thoughts and hinder
15:36your spiritual growth. It is quite true. Rushing in the morning without taking the
15:43time to connect with God can lead to a spiritually empty day.
15:47Rushing in the morning prevents you from taking a moment of calm to meditate and reflect on the
15:53word of God. A rushed morning increases stress, which makes the experience of God's peace more
15:58difficult . This habit can lead to a superficial relationship with God,
16:05lacking depth and intimacy. If you do not practice gratitude in the morning,
16:11you risk closing your heart to the recognition of God's blessings throughout the day,
16:16which affects your spiritual and emotional well-being. Without a grateful heart,
16:22you risk neglecting God's little blessings and little gifts.
16:26Each day is filled with countless moments of grace and kindness that can go unnoticed
16:32if you do not actively seek them. By starting your day with gratitude,
16:38you train your mind to recognize and appreciate these blessings, which can
16:42considerably improve your awareness of the presence and activity of God in your life.
16:47Ignoring gratitude can promote a negative attitude and disconnect you from the joy of God.
16:53When you fail to focus on why you are grateful,
17:01it becomes easier to dwell on what you lack or what is wrong in your life.
17:06This negative state of mind can blur your perspective and prevent you from feeling the
17:12joy and peace that come from God's knowledge. The practice of gratitude moves your attention
17:18from your problems to God's goodness, helping you to maintain a positive attitude throughout the
17:24day. Regularly neglecting gratitude can weaken your faith and confidence in God's providence.
17:31Gratitude is a powerful expression of faith,
17:34because it recognizes the goodness and fidelity of God in your life.
17:38When you thank regularly, you strengthen your conviction that God is at
17:43command and that he provides for your needs. Without this practice, your faith can become
17:49fragile and you could have more trouble trusting God in difficult times.
17:53The lack of gratitude can create a spiritual disconnection,
17:58making it more difficult to feel close to God.
18:01Gratitude opens your heart to God's love and helps you recognize his hand in your life.
18:07The Bible says in Hebrews 13 verses 15 to 16,
18:11By him, we constantly offer God a sacrifice of praise,
18:15that is to say the fruit of the limb that confesses his name.
18:18And do not forget well-being and liberality, because God takes pleasure in such sacrifices.
18:25By starting your day with gratitude, you cultivate a deeper feeling of
18:31connection with God, which can help you overcome the challenges of the day.
18:35This connection is essential to maintain a dynamic and growing relationship with God.
18:41The practice of gratitude increases your awareness of God's work in your life.
18:47When you take the time every morning to think about why you are grateful,
18:52you become more attentive to the way God works behind the scenes.
18:56This awareness can strengthen your faith and give you a greater feeling of
19:01confidence in God's plan for your life.
19:03Please listen to me.
19:07To integrate gratitude into your morning routine, start by reserving a few
19:13moments every day to think about why you are grateful.
19:16This can be done by prayer, holding a diary or simply meditating on God's blessings.
19:23Get in the habit of thanking God for specific things,
19:27whether they are big or small, and expressing your gratitude for his providence and his care.
19:33By starting your day with gratitude, you can cultivate a state of positive spirit,
19:39deepen your connection with God and improve your overall well-being.
19:43Ignoring healthy habits such as a good diet,
19:50exercise and adequate rest can affect your spiritual well-being.
19:55A poor physical health can lead to fatigue and weakness,
20:00which makes it difficult to engage in spiritual practices.
20:03A Corinthians 6 verses 19 to 20,
20:07Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you,
20:10that you have received from God and that you do not belong to yourself?
20:15For you have been bought at a great price.
20:18Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which belongs to God.
20:23Neglecting healthy habits can darken your mind,
20:28which makes it difficult to hear the voice of God.
20:30God wants us to take care of our body,
20:34and neglecting this care can create a rupture in our holistic relationship with him.
20:39Papa, thank you very much for this teaching.
20:43I was so ignorant and I did not know that I was not doing the right things.
20:48Do not cry, my dear.
20:53Just start doing the right things now.
20:57Recognizing and approaching these habits can help you get closer to God
21:02and strengthen your spiritual path.
21:04Start your day with God.
21:07Thank you very much.
21:10I will do everything you said.
21:13I want God to be so close to me that I can hear him every day.
21:18Brothers and sisters, we are at the end of this video.
21:23God bless you.
