hey everyone welcome back if this is  your first time welcome for the first
  time my name is Shalayna Janelle I'm a  preacher singer songwriter and author
  but today I want to talk about my  testimony of living and walking by faith
  okay  and so I want to give you a little bit
  of backstory okay when I was 18 years  old
  I moved to Los Angeles California I'm  originally from the Northeast
  I am from Massachusetts and I moved  straight out of high school to Los
  Angeles California because it was always  in my spirit since the age of four
  probably even before to be a singer  songwriter and an actress and to be an
  entertainer and so I moved to Los  Angeles and I began to act and so I was
  actively acting in commercials and doing  some commercial modeling as well but
  mostly acting and stuff like that um I  was not really in the modeling thing
  that was never really what I was about  but acting in commercials and in film
  and so God had blessed me with many  opportunities in the entertainment field
  and in the entertainment environment and  that was what God has called me to do he
  called me to be a light in Hollywood and  to minister to those in Hollywood in to
  those who are in the media and in the  arts and I absolutely love doing that
  and so that's basically part of the back  story for me I moved to Los Angeles
  California with basically nothing and I  knew nobody I had never been to
  California before I didn't know I just  didn't know anybody so hopping off the
  plane I was I guess you would say  surprised as if you would hop off the
  plane and go to anywhere you've never  been before right and so I hopped off
  the plane it was extremely hot I am NOT  a hot weather type of girl I like the
  snow like the fall I like the winter I  do not like
  heat and so thank God I get to go to  heaven right and so praise the Lord and
  so yes I moved here and I was acting and  stuff like that and working with my
  agent I had been doing it for some years  since I had moved to Los Angeles
  California but when I first moved to  California I didn't just hop off the
  plane and start acting I had to work my  way to that point to even be able to get
  agents to be able to you know start  being seen in front of even little
  casting directors and then the bigger  casting directors and stuff like that
  and so it was a process and so that was  even living by faith because it's a
  constant not knowing what your next job  is gonna come from not knowing where the
  next thing is gonna come from because us  actors don't have a job unless we have a
  job you know we're auditioning and then  we booked the role that's our job but
  once that job has finished filming that  or finished shooting then off to the
  next job or off to finding the next job  and so many people would never want to
  be in that position they wouldn't be  able to handle it but I actually do love
  the acting world so that doesn't bother  me but it was definitely a constant
  living by faith because you don't know  what your next thing is coming from and
  so as an actor in Hollywood especially a  Christian you have to pull on God and
  believe that God is going to provide  number one for you in general but also
  provide the opportunity and  opportunities in work for you as well
  and so let's fast-forward I started  getting to audition for some bigger name
  casting directors so for people who like  Catholic shows that you've probably
  heard of before and so I started to get  into rooms with them and this is years
  later okay my whole process of I moved  to LA in 2009 when I graduated high
  school and then gradually I began to  progress okay when acting really started
  kicking off for me that was about
  I would say four or five years after I  have moved to LA I started getting in
  better audition rooms getting you know  meeting more people and stuff like that
  and things just started to be good to go  uphill and so I've always loved acting
  and entertaining and desiring to pursue  a career in that ever since I was about
  like four years old it could have  probably even been way before then
  because I was singing since I could make  noise and so I always had some form of
  wanting to entertain just within me and  that was obviously clearly a god-given
  thing and so I'm in LA God sends me out  here to LA and as I'm auditioning God
  will have me minister to people at  auditions as I'm at events God will have
  me ministering to people at events as I  am on sets God will have me ministering
  to people on sets and left and right I'm  able to minister to people in Hollywood
  where me from four years old up until 16  I knew I always wanted to be a singer an
  actress and an entertainer at that age I  was not saved yet so all of these dreams
  and hopes and aspirations they had  absolutely nothing to do with God and to
  then get saved at 17 move out to LA less  than a year later and all of a sudden
  God is saying I want to use this and use  it for my glory and I find myself being
  trained by God in the spirit him really  molding and shaping me and doing all
  types of things and now I'm able to  pursue my dreams and ministering to
  people on sets that was crazy for me and  so I wanted to give that back story
  about me moving to LA and be being an  actress and entertainer because I wanted
  this actual particular testimony that  I'm about to tell you to make sense to
  you because if I just tell you the  particular testimony that I'm about to
  tell you it would probably not make  sense to you and you'll be like
  what is she talking about I don't even  get it it has no impact so um I had to
  give you that back story of me moving to  LA at 18 years old I had only been saved
  for less than a year and I moved to LA  never having been here before I moved to
  LA on a whim on a hope in a dream and  because I knew that God was still
  sending me here contrary to what  everyone else was saying okay and so
  fast forward to December of 2015 by that  time I'm pursuing acting on a level I
  have never been pursuing it before by  the grace of God and so I remember all
  of a sudden I'm now auditioning and I'm  booking in I'm getting into bigger rooms
  and when we say rooms we're talking  about casting director rooms and I'm
  just like wow God you are blowing my  mind right now you're blowing my mind in
  this season and I remember I was in a  room with one of the casting directors
  from Empire and then about two weeks  later I was in a big-name casting
  directors room as well and when she was  looking at my audition because sometimes
  the most of the times they have a camera  and they're taping your audition and
  they're looking at you through a  computer screen through a monitor screen
  and they're not physically looking at  you sometimes and so this particular
  casting director was looking at me  through the monitor screen and I
  remember I finished my audition and  she's dead silent and I'm dead silent
  cuz I'm waiting for her to speak I'm  waiting for her to say thank you leave a
  boy for her to say something and then  she goes oh oh I'm so sorry
  watching you was like watching TV yeah  I'm sorry I got I got distracted you're
  really good you're a really good actress  and so remember I had just been in an
  audition room where one of the casting  directors who cast Empire and then about
  a couple weeks later I'm in this  audition room now
  it was right at that time where the Lord  says I need you to stop acting right now
  I need you to focus on something that  I'm about to show you it is full-time
  ministry in a different capacity than  you've ever done it because you have to
  understand while I was an actor I was  preaching I have put out a gospel EP so
  I was doing ministry at that time as  well as at auditions
  on set at events I'm telling the world  about Jesus I'm that bold girl that
  people know she's for real about God  that is a worshiper of God that is
  someone who lives holy no matter where  she's at even in closed doors in the
  dark at her house she's living home and  so God says I need you to stop acting
  right now because I want to bring you  into something different and I remember
  when he said that I was like okay God  because it's it's funny how things
  started really rapidly going well and  things were taking off on a deeper level
  in the career that God actually told me  to pursue and then he said stop which
  means quit your job acting was my job I  was not working a computer job while
  pursuing them and so quit my job quit my  job and so for me in particular this is
  not just a regular quit your job  scenario this is a quit your job and
  quit your career something you loved and  knew you wanted to pursue since you were
  4 years old you know what I'm saying and  so it wasn't like oh I'm just gonna work
  at this office space for such-and-such a  time to accumulate a certain amount of
  money you don't really care about that  and this has been something since four
  years old I knew I was gonna do what  everyone told me I
  I should have been doing all types of  other stuff and so when he says leave
  I said yes Lord yes Lord that was my  first reaction yes Lord because I'm a
  yes Lord Kanha karai I'd like to submit  to the Holy Spirit because he knows
  what's best he knows what's best beyond  everything he knows what's best and so
  I'm like okay Lord okay Lord and I  remember he gave me confirmation upon
  confirmation and so that in fast-forward  full-time ministry had started in a new
  capacity because like I said I was  already preaching I had online ministry
  as well as well as um ministering while  I was acting out focused on ministry in
  a different capacity and so I'm like  okay Lord and so I was walking by faith
  before  believing God before and that that
  testimony I I may if the Lord leads me  do a testimony about my journey as an
  actor and about how living with faith  was implied with that as well but since
  this testimony is not about me being an  actor I just had to give that back story
  so that this part makes sense but I made  to a video as well cuz I know some
  people will be blessed by it and so he  pulls me into full-time ministry in this
  new capacity I remember when he when  everything really started to take off
  and whatnot and all of a sudden he began  to put books in my spirit book after
  book after book and I had never  considered writing a book like writing
  books like come on now  uh y'all know me for those of y'all
  y'all y'all  Cemi- know me, Cemi-  know me okay you
  don't know me know me but you Cemi-  know me
  Oh through my videos I don't I don't  look at me as I'm that bomb girl I'm
  that bomb girl that's not how I look at  myself and so I'm bomb I'm a write book
  and you gonna read it and you're gonna  read it everybody gonna read it that's
  not how I look at myself okay I look at  myself as a servant of the holy God
  okay and so I remember he began to give  me all these book ideas I'm starting
  writing books and things are just  popping off and then he as I'm writing
  these books because I began to write I  think it was one and then in the middle
  of that one he shifted me to writing  another one which you guys now know as
  the gates access to the throne of God  because it was the first one I ever
  released because he wanted that who  releases that my people need to know
  about this topic and so at your leisure  you can look up the gate access to the
  throne of God and so this was so awesome  how he began to shift me into this
  season of writing I call you to be a  scribe a prophetic scribe to the
  nation's and so I'm like I I knew I was  called to the nation's even while I was
  acting but um write books okay this is  awesome this is different this is more
  pulling on God this is more trusting in  God and remember I don't have a job so
  trusting God once again like I was doing  my whole entire walk with Him and so
  this is a different phase of trusting  the Lord this is lower no type of income
  you know um bills still have to be paid  but I believe you can pay my bills cuz
  you've paid them before all right all of  this stuff you've done before God has
  supernaturally provided for me so much  even while I was an actor
  and I needed provision I needed things I  needed resources I needed money I needed
  food the Lord gave me so many  supernatural permissions and I'm
  probably gonna do a separate testimony  video about supernatural provision as
  well because I know that that will boost  the faith of many people but back to the
  story I never once questioned whether  God was going to provide it was never a
  question of was he going to provide  because he he is a provider he has
  always shown himself to me since I've  known him as a provider and so you know
  I submitted to the will of God the Bible  says that if any man wants to be a
  disciple of Jesus Christ he must pick up  his cross and follow Jesus he must deny
  himself pick up his cross and follow  Jesus and see many people they don't
  want to get to the point of denying  themselves and so this particularly
  reminds me of Acts chapter 16 where Paul  was on his way to one place doing his
  missionary works and doing preaching the  gospel and ministry doing all those
  things and then the Lord shifted him to  go to a new place and so the Lord had
  him moved from one direction to a new  direction and that is exactly what the
  Lord did to me  because the Lord actually had me on a
  certain path and then said okay now I  need to draw you back right now for you
  to go do this endeavor that I'm telling  you to do and so even with Paul Paul was
  not doing some random thing he wasn't  going on random missionary trips and
  just pulling cities and countries out of  a hat he was going places where the Lord
  gave him unction to go but at this  particular time when he was on his way
  to go to this new place the Lord said  okay well I need you to go here instead
  and that's why we have to be so willing  to follow the Lord wherever he leads and
  don't get so caught up on what we think  we should be doing or what even you want
  to be doing it's definitely not about  what you want to be doing and so Paul
  and  switching places and many people came to
  the Lord many people got saved it was  conversion because of his his obedience
  to the unction and because of him truly  following Jesus because his ministry was
  truly about ministry Jesus and souls  it wasn't about his own self and filling
  a roster and all types of stuff like  that and so he was able to move when the
  spirit told him to therefore he was able  to see Holy Spirit results and that's
  what I'm about Holy Spirit results and  so I shifted to where God told me to
  shift to and all of a sudden I began to  write books which like I said it was
  nothing I had ever said god I want to  write books never said that before if
  anything the only book that I could have  ever imagined myself ever writing was if
  I ever became a super super super famous  actor I would write a memoir when I
  became like 80 you know um there was  never a book where like I'm gonna write
  a book because I'm gonna write books for  people continuously God put that in the
  plan for my life God put that in my path  he shifted me into the right place and
  I'm so blessed to have been able to  write these books and he's been giving
  me supernatural provision 2016 when  things really took off 2016 was one of
  the best years of my entire life I got  the opportunity to go to Paris and all
  my goodness the Lord's hand mood so  mightily in Paris it was it was a wreck
  it was off the chain out there in the  parish streets and so God's hand moved
  and I just love seeing the work of God  you know like the book of Acts that is
  the real church that is how we're  supposed to always be operating like the
  book of Acts that's not some "Woop Woop" Wonderland type thing that is real deal that's what
  we're all supposed to be operating like  operating in the fivefold ministry
  operating in the prophetic operating in  the gifts of the Spirit operating like
  geez  he said he has given us power to take up
  serpents to trample over serpents to  cast out demons he has given us those
  power that power from on high to do  those things and I believe been walking
  in those ways every day and so 2016 was  a awesome year and this is to where I am
  now this leads me up to where I am now  continuing on in doing this new new
  season even in this new season God has  blessed me with opportunities to be able
  to be on TBN as a television host and also TBN's young adult network
  JUCE TV as a television host and I'm  also working on another project as a
  television host and so God is  flourishing and bringing my life to
  where it should be at this time the  desired place that he wants me to be in
  this time and so I was taken out of one  way to get put into another sector and I
  I I just love what he is doing and I was  blessed to be able to be afforded the
  opportunities and blessings that he has  given me even when he maneuvers people
  some transitions and some shifts can be  temporary and some could be for ever
  meaning long-term forever and it's not  up to us that's all up to God and so
  when God said I want to shift you it's  been a blessing for me and that doesn't
  mean that God may not ever have me act  again it just means that he had
  something that I needed to do and so  shifts can be temporary seasonal or
  long-lasting they can be for a lifetime  but that
  not up to you that's up to God and so  when God shifts you somewhere he could
  literally shift you in three months  later shift you back because that
  assignment was only for three months  or he may shift you and it is a
  permanent shift of taking you out of  somewhere it's only up to the Holy
  Spirit amen and so you just have to be  healed dating just led by the Holy
  Spirit any man desires to be a disciple  of Jesus Christ
  he must first deny himself pick up his  cross and follow Jesus
  that's the separation when Paul said all  right this was on the plans this was on
  the list to go to such in such a place  but the Lord is shifting us in this
  direction that was denying himself  picking up his cross and following
  literally following the unction and the  moving of the Holy Spirit of Jesus
  Christ and so even with my situation I  choose and everything I do to follow
  Jesus no matter what it is no matter  what it looks like even if it looks
  crazy to other people could look crazy  to Christians it could look crazy to
  friends family whatever the case may be  I'm gonna choose what Jesus wants me to
  choose and so I truly live by that  scripture that if any man wants to be a
  disciple of Jesus Christ or called  himself a disciple of Jesus Christ he
  must first pick up his cross or deny  himself pick up his cross and follow
  Jesus and that's where many people they  they hoped at they're like okay well I
  want Jesus I want the benefits of Jesus  but they don't deny themselves pick up
  their cross and follow Jesus and why did  I even tell this testimony because I
  wanted to tell this testimony because  God how they Mia he has such an awesome
  plan for your life will things be hard  yes they very very well may be hard
  well things go your way no they probably  won't go your way unless you are totally
  lined up with the Holy Spirit and you  want to do what the Holy Spirit wants
  you to do which I encourage you to line  yourself up with the Holy Spirit and
  desire to do what the Holy Spirit wants  you to do and so you're gonna sometimes
  face obstacles those are to build your  faith
  sometimes have to let things go  sacrifice some things by no means is God
  telling everyone to quit their jobs no  he's not doing that and so this is not
  an advertisement for anyone to quit  their job ok so don't say she'll why
  didn't told me to quit my job no no  let's simmer down simmer down ok he will
  begin to Jesus Christ and that's what my  testimony is it's just fearless and
  fierce obedience to Jesus Christ why was  it fearless and why was it fierce
  obedience  it's fearless and fierce because a dream
  that I had since I was 4 years old I  laid it down for the sake of a
  transition that the Lord wanted me to go  on and I could have easily if I was in
  the flesh I couldn't easily said well  Lord you called me to be on set and to
  minister to people while my mom said I  could've easily said that because he did
  call me to be honest a minister of  people on set but one thing I know is
  that I know how the Lord operates and  the Lord shifts and the Lord operates in
  seasons and so if you didn't know that  know that the Lord he shifts things and
  he operates in seasons and so where you  are right now may not be where you're
  gonna be even tomorrow or a month from  now God shifts things okay there are
  some people who at one time were  attending a church next thing you know a
  year later there a pastor of a church  God shifts things okay and so understand
  that things don't always stay the same  will that be uncomfortable for you maybe
  so but it's God's will does it mean that  much to you does God's will mean that
  much to you in your heart because God's  will should mean so much to you that
  you're willing to go through the fire  when you're willing to go through the
  uncomfortability I just want to  encourage you by my life and by my
  testimony I have not denied Jesus no  matter what I've had to do no matter
  what I've given up no matter what I  faced I've continued to stay on the
  course that God wants me to be on I'll  continue to if God said let this go I've
  let things go if God said  I need you to do this thing I've done
  things there was things I had to do that  I had never done before but God was
  functioning me to do them and so it's  not always that he's telling you to
  sacrifice something sometimes he's  telling you to do something okay and so
  you just have to listen to the Spirit of  God I want to encourage each and every
  one of you to listen to the Spirit of  God be yielded to the Spirit of God and
  most of all be obedient to the Spirit of  God he has great plans for you Jeremiah
  29:11 says that he does the thoughts and  plans he has for you plans of peace to
  give you hope and a future he doesn't  want to harm you and so he wants each
  and every one of his sons and daughters  to tap in to those plans that he has for
  us it is when his sons and daughters do  not tap in to those plans that he has
  for them that things go haywire and  people end up going in cycles for years
  and years and use the same cycle and  never get anywhere and then they're like
  but God you promised this and God you  promised that yes God did it God did
  promise something but you promised you  would be obedient
  aren't you being obedient that's the key  I just gave you a key to the kingdom one
  of the keys to the kingdom be obedient  that's a wisdom key be obedient
  obedience will unlock things that  knowledge can never unlock obedience
  will unlock things that even sometimes  favor will not unlock obedience will
  unlock things that jomama the person up  the street the President of the United
  States of America cannot unlock but your  obedience can unlock it there's a reason
  why the Bible says that obedience is  better than sacrifice there's things
  that obedience will unlock that  sacrifice will not unlock be obedient to
  God be obedient to God if he's telling  you to sacrifice then your obedience
  would be to sacrifice but don't  sacrifice something and then be
  disobedient to what he's telling you to  do it's like because then he's gonna say
  I told you to do such-and-such and you  gave up something
  obedience okay and so I want to  encourage your spirit to let you know
  that God number one is a provider okay  he's provided for me since 2009 I moved
  here September 18th I believe it was  2009 September 18th and I'm here right
  now it's almost I think in what two or  three weeks will be September 18 again
  which will mark eight years God has  provided God is a supernatural provider
  and so I would encourage your spirit if  you don't believe God will come through
  for you with any form of provision he  will I'm a living witness he is provided
  for me supernaturally some people look  at me crazy because of it so be like
  some people are jealous because of it  why does God do this for her why does
  God give her supernatural finances and  listeni than that because I'm in the
  perfect will of God to what he's calling  me to do amen being the perfect will of
  God for when he's called you do so God  will always provide Bible says he will
  supply all your need according to his  riches in glory in Christ Jesus his
  riches in glory are infinite he created  everything he owns everything the Bible
  says the earth is the Lord's and the  fullness there he owns everything he's
  got your back okay and so I also want to  encourage you those of you who are
  struggling with walking by faith living  by faith this whole walk with God is by
  faith the Bible says we walk by faith  and not by sight it's not about what you
  see it's not about what you think it's  not about what you learned in school
  it's about the Spirit of God and walking  in living with the Spirit of God it
  takes faith to even be saved okay  and so you have some type of faith all
  right you're not faithless right now  unless you do not know Jesus and so you
  have some type of faith but now exercise  that so it will grow don't despise the
  process the testing and the shifting  because it's the process the testing and
  the shifting that will grow your faith  the Bible says we go from faith to faith
  and so if we go from faith to faith how  is that by being tried in our faith okay
  when your  I in something there comes a verdict
  okay what's your verdict can be that's  your faithless or that you are faith
  full meaning full of faith and faith  full literally being a faithful type of
  person and so you want to be exactly  what God has called you to be and I want
  to encourage you and every one of you to  be in the timing of God and that's
  pivotal the timing of God cuz when he  told me to shift I shifted at the right
  timing and when he said to do it and so  we as believers need to be so keen in
  the spirit and obedient to God amen  and so I pray my testimony of living my
  faith has blessed you I would give up  everything for the sake of the gospel
  again I would give up everything for  Jesus again I commit my life as a living
  sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God  because it is my reasonable service and
  I encourage you to shift your mindset to  have that type of mindset as well that
  is the way God desires you to walk  that's the mindset God desires you to
  have that is a pure Kingdom mindset  totally for the glory if you have any
  questions you can feel free to put  questions in the comment section email
  me questions as well this particular  video was done by the unction of the
  Holy Ghost because he wanted me to talk  about this particular situation okay
  until I couldn't give my life testimony  in one video you see how long this just
  section of something that happened in a  short period of time in my life took a
  long space of a video and so yeah this  video is done all in obedience and by
  the unction of the Holy Spirit and so I  pray it has bless you I want to pray for
  each and every one of you guys  that you will walk by faith live by
  faith  totally trust and be yielded to the Holy
  Spirit and that you will just even know  his voice and heed his voice even more
