my life spiritually is weird rn. it’s super strange because i want to be with God and praise God ive been in the word more and i’m more on fire but at the same time i’ve still been disobedient. but i don’t feel shame, and i’m not sure if i should (to be convicted) i just hope i’m not numbing my sin to a point where i can’t hear God. i’m in a season of accepting grace and believe i’m growing in love and discipline. these video is really encouraging. i love the way you speak, it’s calming and human lol. you’re very real and i appreciate that so much, it’s a breath of fresh air
Bro, literally same. Like I know what I'm doing is wrong and I ask for forgiveness, but I don't truly feel bad. Sometimes I feel like I'm taking advantage of His grace. I don't want to get to the point where I can't recognize when I'm in sin.
I’m definitely in a rut and I’ve been in one for year now I got save last year during the pandemic so I’m a have in Christ I just want zeal back for god
Hey Alex, recently my girlfriend and I had to break up, we both were on fire for Christ but we were also so truly in love with each other that we were okay putting Christ aside for each other, it’s been a couple of months since we had to split, and there had been so much confusion, there had been so much pain, I still truly love her and I know that’s not going away. She’s been praying and I’ve been praying but God has been speaking to us differently, I’ve been trying to continue being her friend, but with our breakup there has been a lot of pain talking to her still now. It feels like I’m losing sense of genuine love, I’ve been trying to seek the Lord closer than ever, I’ve been trying so hard but I still can’t seem to find my rest because I believe God isn’t done with us yet, but it feels like we’re done. Aside that I’ve been watching you I want to say maybe two days now. And in that time I’ve learned alot, and came to appreciate you alot for what you do. Your testimony is truly a beautiful one. ❤️
Thank you for your transparency and honesty. Ruts do happen and sometimes they're had to get out of. Thanks for the inspiration. Don't let the devil win. Amen!
Thanks for this brother. I think I'm in a rut, I think it started last year until now, and I can't seem to get out of it even though I know what to do. And I think I've been Idolizing comfort and I want to stop aswell. Please pray for me. Thank you, May GOD Bless us all
Amen. I have been feeling distant from God recently. I have been going through a hard time and I just feel distant from God. I have been repeatedly asking him where his is and what he is going to do with me but I just haven’t been feeling his presence. Thank you so much for your tips I am going to try to have a conversation with him instead of just asking him to reveal himself and show me he is with me.
I am have been in a rut! Even before God called me into his love, I’ve been in a rut, I’m separated from my wife, I’m just running in circles, I’m scared to changed, because his will shall be done. But I need to change but I’m so scared to change, plus it’s not that I’m in the deep sea of sin, I just need help and I want help so bad 😢
Was feeling like I was missing something then watched this and made me realize the only thing I need to do is get a structure going with The Bible and and school and working out and video games
God is leading me to stop sex outside of marriage, alcohol, and marijuana. I have quit the first two vices. But I am wrestling with the third vice. I have been smoking marijuana for recreational and medical reasons for about 7 years. I think the Holy Spirit is revealing to me through your experience and videos that I have been creating lies for myself. I justified my daily, constant use by labeling weed as a pain reliever. I need to be healed by the power of God, the Lamb, and the Spirit. Pray for me!
i’ve been in a rut for so long. But recently it just feels different like i have absolutely no idea what it is but i feel like He’s restored me. I pray when i don’t feel like it. i Listen to worship more often. I read His word when i get the chance and i feel like He’s slowly building me up after me being so low for so long. Praise be to God❤️
That's great man, I feel like we always expect to be the best versions of ourselves overnight, and its like we're disappointing God when we aren't. But thats not how it is at all
Thank you for this. You know it's easy to feel alone in a lot of the things we pass through. Of course we have GOD, but it's good to know you are not the only one passing through certain things.
"Knowing what I could be." I have not been able to put into words exactly how I feel when I come to repentance, but this describes it perfectly. It is such an empowering but destructive feeling. On one hand, I get excited to grow and blossom into who God calls me to be, but on the other, I get so turned off by how far behind I feel. It is so true that we must go to His word. It's almost like watching a movie and knowing the answer is right in front of the characters but they are so oblivious. My bible is right in front of me but I constantly ignore the truth waiting on those pages. I definitely need to read scripture more and I'm glad I watched this video as a reminder. Thanks Alex and amen.
This!!! Man, it's crazy how much believers all over the world are going through the same things as you do. You basically articulated word for word what I'm going through
This is definitely God led. Just subscribed to your channel and was watching a few of your videos when this popped up. Perfect timing. I’ve been struggling to get closer to God the last few weeks. I went from being as close to God as I’ve ever been, fasting every few days, I devoted all my time to doing things to bring glory to God, reading my bible and praying all day throughout the day, if I opened tiktok, I watched biblical videos, if I opened youtube I watched biblical videos. I feared so badly falling out the place with God because it’s happened so many times before. I was doing very good and some how without realizing it I just fell short and started drifting from that, I don’t know how it happened. I’ve been longing to get back to that spot. It just seems so hard. Even though I know how easy it really is. The way you described being in a rut is exactly how I feel. I think it needs to be talked about more in the christian community how we all fall short. I think a lot of us feel alone in falling short because we see all these other christians who seem like they have it all together, for instance, you. I would have never thought that you were going through ruts constantly if you didn’t make this video. I’ve just really felt alone in it, I feel every time I get really close to God I end up falling short and it’s just a continuous thing, I get close and fall short and then I get really close to God again and feel on top of the world and then I fall short again. I think feeling alone in it brings a lot of baggage as well and makes it even harder to get close to God. I think this video was very important to be made and I definitely appreciate it. It’s helped me a lot. Bless you brother. Keep doing what you’re doing! God is leading you to do amazing things. If this didn’t help anyone else it definitely helped me.
wow. This comment just gave me life. I was scared to make this video. I have been feeling that I want to share more about the struggle of being Christian instead of showing the bright side. I want to be more honest. If you were the only person that watched this video it would have been enough and worth it. This means so much to me. I’m glad that we are feeling the same things brother. Praying for you today. I’m going to be doing another video soon about times in life when you don’t feel God. Stay tuned
You are definitely not alone. What you described is exactly how I feel too, and I agree that the Christian community seems to all seem to have their life is together and it makes us feel alone!
I didn’t realize comfort could be an idol and for me I’ve made it that way. I look at other people and see how “happy” they are living for the world and I want that for a split second and then I pray to God to take that away. Thank you for helping me realize that. It’s hard being uncomfortable and sometimes I overthink WAYYYYY too much but I know God is there. God bless u. 🤍
Having a relationship with God is immaculate. The other day I realized how much the Lord and I relationship has grown. It has grown to the point where I would die for the lord. This channel and Off The Kirb Ministries really helped me and is still helping me to this day. Amen 🙏
Amen. I’m litterally in a rut as we speak and I thought I was the only one that felt this way. when i’m repenting, reading the word, praying, i’m functional. When i don’t have fellowship with God, I crumble. I’ve been praying psalm 16:11 daily which is helping. I think God is wanting me to fast too which is VERY uncomfortable
Amen! I definitely have been in a rut and in what it seems like an endless cycle of running to God and then running away from God and running to the World and all that it presents to me. Definitely gonna try out making the words bigger on the Bible app and I’d love to hear a solution on how to consistently pray to God everyday. Thanks Alex!
Sometimes I feel like I am always in a rut and I can’t get out but Ik that when u feel far from God he is the closest and all Ik is that I will never loose my faith or deny my God. Amen
i’ve been in a rut for so long. But recently it just feels different like i have absolutely no idea what it is but i feel like He’s restored me. I pray when i don’t feel like it. i Listen to worship more often. I read His word when i get the chance and i feel like He’s slowly building me up after me being so low for so long. Praise be to God❤️
Amen, Alex! Agh this video was timely uploaded. Thank you for obedience. Thank you for being vulnerable. I too am in a rut :( . I'm currently in a cycle of being fired up for Christ, creating content, praying, studying the Word and then I fizzle out and feel unmotivated to do anything God-related due to sin (not making time for Him, not putting Him first, giving in to temptation etcetc). The obvious answer is to repent and do better but it feels so hard to do. Nonetheless "Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything." (1 John 3:20) Knowing that God is omniscient, & knows how many times we're gonna mess up yet He still loves us and gives us chances to do better each day He grants us on Earth, is comforting AND gives me some hope.
Sometimes I know I am hungry to be in God's presence but it feels like I can't/I don't... I feel so unmotivated like I allow laziness to overcome me but I know I have strength in Jesus to keep pushing and keep going and keep trying. Amen
How’s it going now , I’m currently battling laziness and procrastination and honestly makes me so upset as I don’t recognise myself sometimes and can seem to strike a balance when I do do things it’s either hyper focus or nothing gets done but then I end up putting God on the back burner , but yeh I’m trying to stay active and keep on the move and create a routine where I can’t be lazy and pushes me to do this good things
I can definitely appreciate this video. I have been in a rut for a while. I feel so lost at times, it feels like I'm just going through the motions. I have been asking God where to start as far as getting reacquainted with the word. Amen
i’ve been in this rut as well. i used to feel so close and have so much peace and i desired him too. but now it feels like he’s not there and ik he’s there. i have to trust him. thank you for this video. it made me realize a lot and cry. this was so helpful thank you again
Amen, I really appreciate what you do. You motivate me every time I see your videos. And I ask that you may please keep up the good work. Congratulations on your daughter Lucy!!!
Really helped me out. I’m getting bad grades because of stress and my grand parents having the possibility of COVID and it’s scary to me like I’m 14 and turning 15 in a month. I’ve matured so much from being sad and stress and I’m tired of it. I’m going to try and get rid of my phone for a week and see how it goes, also start reading the word and get back on track with God. I’m tired of being in my rut. Wish me luck
I stumbled upon this video and I needed this! Thank you for sharing!! Right now in my walk with God, He is guiding me somewhere that seems out of my comfort. I realized that I am afraid to make the changes that I need to but they are so necessary and I need to continue to obey and stay confident in Him!
Hey Alex thanks so much for this content 🔥 Yeah was feeling like I’m in a rut like cycle and yeah just the thought of knowing all we could be but just kinda scared of missing out on other things. Appreciate this from NZ. 🇳🇿 Keen to be more healthy and focused spiritually and physically. Thankyou God 🙌🏽
I remember watching this video actually being in a rut. I was struggling with a panic disorder and a crippling anxiety out of my control and it felt like I was going crazy and I had lost all hope in life and in myself. I remember driving down the empty roads side by side two big fields in the country and the sun was setting, so golden hour. The piano on this video made me cry but that warm sensation felt so familiar and it was nobody else but the holy spirit. He gave me so much comfort on that drive home in the middle of that rut at its peak. I started watching your videos a lot after that day and months later I was set free of the panic disorder and all anxiety symptoms because of Jesus! Long story short it was all about habitual sin and true repentance, once I let go of old lifestyles and sin was when the lord could truly work in my life from the inside out and he did and it hurt but he put all my pieces back together and here I am. Stronger than ever and stronger in him because of him.
Brother, I just teared up... this is exactly what I’m going through right now. Your video couldn’t have come at a better time. I looked up at the Lord and just praised Him for showing me this video. I’ve been in a spiritual rut for a while... thank you so much for taking the time to open your heart and share this with us. It truly means so much to me. God bless you man.
I would meditate on Ephesians 4:17-24. When we're in our heads too much we inevitably lose our understanding of who God truly is; bigger than any earthly thing or problem
A cycle is better than being in one stagnant place. You keep pushing the devil keeps pulling I just don't give up ask God for strength just don't give up He wil deliver you from the struggle of inconsistency if you trust Him too. I'm in a rut myself. You're not alone. But His grace is sufficient
Just wanted to say thank you! I lost my sister 7 months ago and I have been in bed that long. I have never heard of your channel. I use the 5 hour rule and decided to spend an hour figuring out how to get out of this rut. Your channel came up! Your work changed my life today. Thank you! Just thank you!
Thank you for your obedience I’m posting this I’m here two years later and this was definitely used by God to speak to me I’ve been feeling this way lately and I need to speak to him and trust in his strength and knowledge not mine when reaching souls for him I pray I can be a obedient vessel
Love your content Alex. You are so genuine and real and that is honestly what our Christian community needs. I am currently in this huge rut that I’ve been fighting since quarantine and could really use some prayer for that. But just talking it out like you said has already made a difference so thank you for your advice. Also what was the name of the book you were talking about?
It feels like I've been in a rut for a while. I try to get out using his word and praying but I don't have anyone to turn to because of some past pride. I want to feel better and others to forgive me but I'm scared that the damage is already done.
This really encouraged me bro. I've been stagnant lately, distancing myself slowly. Thank you for this reminder Lord! I needed this. Amen bro, God bless! All the way from New zealand
I have realized I am just going through the motions of reading the word and talking to God. I am definitely in a rut... and no matter how many times I pray I still am feeling defeated spiritually . I definitely came across your video by the Grace of God , so thank you.
Same here sis. But always remember that prayer weakens the enemy. James 4:7-8 Says if you submit yourself to God and resist the devil then he will FLEE from you. When you draw near to God, He will draw near to you. Psalms 145:18 - God is near to ALL those who call on Him in spirit and in truth. Have faith that God is near. Hear he's you. He loves you.
@@mare3n Oh Amen sis ! I receive that and claim it in the name of Jesus ! So thankful for your comment . I honestly have been struggling with my faith these past few weeks but low and behold here comes my Father sending the Holy Spirit through his children ! So much appreciated thank you, love you, and God bless you.
Today, just a few minutes ago, this helped me be completely honest with God and my emotions. Thank you for setting time out to be a living testimony of what following God means. Thank you.... Thank you.
hey Alex, what’s the background piano loop? I think I could contemplate with that on for hours. Appreciate the genuine content. Watching from Wales, UK!
Literally everything you just said I’m going through this exact thing & have been going through this for some months now, actually let me correct that for some years now. I read the Bible not everyday but I read it. I pray when I wake up before doing anything & pray before I go too sleep but somethings are very hard for me. I pray for anyone else dealing with this issue!!! Please Pray for me🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m gonna continue to pray for everyone. GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN JESUS NAME❤️❤️🙏🏾
There are monthly cycles. Just as is seen in our moon. We get back up and stay on The Vine. Then we will continue to bear fruits of the Holy Spirit even when we have fallen. "Though the Righteous fall SEVEN TIMES (complete ruin), WE GET BACK UP. " (paraphrased). May God bless and keep you in Jesus name. Much brotherly love to y'all.
When we start to realize how much He is wanting to change us, yes, it’s terrifying! But it’s amazing! It’s what we need, to be changed!! Thank you Jesus! Praise God! Thank you for this video!
Over thinking , I'm guilty...thinking of future is overwhelming, Jesus is with us in the present and we receive his Grace in the Present ,I am Propelled Knowing I'm accepted by God just as I am only because of what Jesus did not any thing I do or don't do, and He always gets us back on track....Your a Blessing and have Beautiful Spirit 🙏 Amen

I’m only 13 and want to pray and watch all this good content but it’s like a can’t find a spot and it’s just tuff and I need help
I started in John!! It really helped keep me intrigued and want to keep reading maybe start there or in the Gospels
start with the 4 Gospels (matthew , mark , luke , & john)
You should ask God to help you read the bible from beginning to end (not in one day ) just in a process maybe read 5 chapters or more everyday?
@@roboticrachel3331 thank you I appreciate you looking out for me
James is also a great book to read to start

How’s it going now , I’m currently battling laziness and procrastination and honestly makes me so upset as I don’t recognise myself sometimes and can seem to strike a balance when I do do things it’s either hyper focus or nothing gets done but then I end up putting God on the back burner , but yeh I’m trying to stay active and keep on the move and create a routine where I can’t be lazy and pushes me to do this good things
I was just thinking of messaging you about this and I prayed about it. Then you uploaded this. Thank you Alex
Amen
I can definitely appreciate this video. I have been in a rut for a while. I feel so lost at times, it feels like I'm just going through the motions. I have been asking God where to start as far as getting reacquainted with the word. Amen
Amen
I feel like I’m in a rut too ;((
Amen
i’ve been in this rut as well. i used to feel so close and have so much peace and i desired him too. but now it feels like he’s not there and ik he’s there. i have to trust him. thank you for this video. it made me realize a lot and cry. this was so helpful thank you again
Amen
I’m going to try and pray more often from now on!
Man I'm fighting an addiction. Im in the battle right now and Gods leading me but it's hard man.
How’s it going for you ?
I hope you are doing better now and you are in a better place. Addiction is rough.
Amen

Amen, I really appreciate what you do. You motivate me every time I see your videos. And I ask that you may please keep up the good work. Congratulations on your daughter Lucy!!!
Amen
Really helped me out. I’m getting bad grades because of stress and my grand parents having the possibility of COVID and it’s scary to me like I’m 14 and turning 15 in a month. I’ve matured so much from being sad and stress and I’m tired of it. I’m going to try and get rid of my phone for a week and see how it goes, also start reading the word and get back on track with God. I’m tired of being in my rut. Wish me luck
How did it go and how is it going? You 16 now? I will be soon. God bless you and stay strong in the Lord! If you wanna update me I'd appreciate it!(:
The Lord is with you
Amen
I stumbled upon this video and I needed this! Thank you for sharing!! Right now in my walk with God, He is guiding me somewhere that seems out of my comfort. I realized that I am afraid to make the changes that I need to but they are so necessary and I need to continue to obey and stay confident in Him!
Amen
i definitely feel like ive been in a rut & i need to make a change . today is the day 🤍
amen, alex :)
This was raw and definitely needed right now. Thanks for being vulnerable and reminding me what I need to be doing right now as well. Love you man 🙌🏽
Im so thanksful to GOD that i found this channel.
I can relate so much.
Thank you for the video. I would appreciate your prayers that I can get out of my rut and get with it for God.
I gotcha! God bless!(:
@@Brain5454 Thank you!! God bless you, too :))
Amen
Hey Alex thanks so much for this content 🔥 Yeah was feeling like I’m in a rut like cycle and yeah just the thought of knowing all we could be but just kinda scared of missing out on other things. Appreciate this from NZ. 🇳🇿 Keen to be more healthy and focused spiritually and physically. Thankyou God 🙌🏽
Amen
I remember watching this video actually being in a rut. I was struggling with a panic disorder and a crippling anxiety out of my control and it felt like I was going crazy and I had lost all hope in life and in myself. I remember driving down the empty roads side by side two big fields in the country and the sun was setting, so golden hour. The piano on this video made me cry but that warm sensation felt so familiar and it was nobody else but the holy spirit. He gave me so much comfort on that drive home in the middle of that rut at its peak. I started watching your videos a lot after that day and months later I was set free of the panic disorder and all anxiety symptoms because of Jesus! Long story short it was all about habitual sin and true repentance, once I let go of old lifestyles and sin was when the lord could truly work in my life from the inside out and he did and it hurt but he put all my pieces back together and here I am. Stronger than ever and stronger in him because of him.
Praise the Lord!
Brother, I just teared up... this is exactly what I’m going through right now. Your video couldn’t have come at a better time. I looked up at the Lord and just praised Him for showing me this video. I’ve been in a spiritual rut for a while... thank you so much for taking the time to open your heart and share this with us. It truly means so much to me. God bless you man.
Bro., I agree with U & Alex.
I would meditate on Ephesians 4:17-24. When we're in our heads too much we inevitably lose our understanding of who God truly is; bigger than any earthly thing or problem
Im in one of the hardest times of my life and ive been bouncing between doing really good and falling back into sin and i dont know how to stop it.
A cycle is better than being in one stagnant place. You keep pushing the devil keeps pulling I just don't give up ask God for strength just don't give up He wil deliver you from the struggle of inconsistency if you trust Him too. I'm in a rut myself. You're not alone. But His grace is sufficient
Just wanted to say thank you! I lost my sister 7 months ago and I have been in bed that long. I have never heard of your channel. I use the 5 hour rule and decided to spend an hour figuring out how to get out of this rut. Your channel came up! Your work changed my life today. Thank you! Just thank you!
i love this style of content
Thank you for your obedience I’m posting this I’m here two years later and this was definitely used by God to speak to me I’ve been feeling this way lately and I need to speak to him and trust in his strength and knowledge not mine when reaching souls for him I pray I can be a obedient vessel
All Glory to Jesus + God ❤️
0 dislikes as of now... well said, very relatable. thank you
I feel the same way. Thank you for sharing this ❤️
glad i’m not alone
Love your content Alex. You are so genuine and real and that is honestly what our Christian community needs. I am currently in this huge rut that I’ve been fighting since quarantine and could really use some prayer for that. But just talking it out like you said has already made a difference so thank you for your advice. Also what was the name of the book you were talking about?
rut, rot or revival by aw tozer!
@@lokelaniwilson thank you:)))
how are you doing now?
It feels like I've been in a rut for a while. I try to get out using his word and praying but I don't have anyone to turn to because of some past pride. I want to feel better and others to forgive me but I'm scared that the damage is already done.
The fact that he only has one dislike shows how much of a respectable person he is.
Keep it up man 👍
Amen!
This really encouraged me bro. I've been stagnant lately, distancing myself slowly. Thank you for this reminder Lord! I needed this. Amen bro, God bless! All the way from New zealand
Amen
I have realized I am just going through the motions of reading the word and talking to God. I am definitely in a rut... and no matter how many times I pray I still am feeling defeated spiritually . I definitely came across your video by the Grace of God , so thank you.
I feel the same way.
Same here sis. But always remember that prayer weakens the enemy. James 4:7-8 Says if you submit yourself to God and resist the devil then he will FLEE from you. When you draw near to God, He will draw near to you. Psalms 145:18 - God is near to ALL those who call on Him in spirit and in truth. Have faith that God is near. Hear he's you. He loves you.
@@mare3n Oh Amen sis ! I receive that and claim it in the name of Jesus ! So thankful for your comment . I honestly have been struggling with my faith these past few weeks but low and behold here comes my Father sending the Holy Spirit through his children ! So much appreciated thank you, love you, and God bless you.
Today, just a few minutes ago, this helped me be completely honest with God and my emotions.
Thank you for setting time out to be a living testimony of what following God means.
Thank you....
Thank you.
i love these videos
hey Alex, what’s the background piano loop? I think I could contemplate with that on for hours. Appreciate the genuine content. Watching from Wales, UK!
Literally everything you just said I’m going through this exact thing & have been going through this for some months now, actually let me correct that for some years now. I read the Bible not everyday but I read it. I pray when I wake up before doing anything & pray before I go too sleep but somethings are very hard for me. I pray for anyone else dealing with this issue!!! Please Pray for me🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m gonna continue to pray for everyone. GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN JESUS NAME❤️❤️🙏🏾
There are monthly cycles. Just as is seen in our moon. We get back up and stay on The Vine. Then we will continue to bear fruits of the Holy Spirit even when we have fallen.
"Though the Righteous fall SEVEN TIMES (complete ruin), WE GET BACK UP. " (paraphrased).
May God bless and keep you in Jesus name. Much brotherly love to y'all.
i Love JESUS CHRIST and HOLY SPIRIT and GOD our FATHER All Glory Belongs to GOD GOD Bless you all ✝️🙏🏻❤️⛪🙌 halleluYAH AMEN
When we start to realize how much He is wanting to change us, yes, it’s terrifying! But it’s amazing! It’s what we need, to be changed!! Thank you Jesus! Praise God! Thank you for this video!
Over thinking , I'm guilty...thinking of future is overwhelming, Jesus is with us in the present and we receive his Grace in the Present ,I am Propelled Knowing I'm accepted by God just as I am only because of what Jesus did not any thing I do or don't do, and He always gets us back on track....Your a Blessing and have Beautiful Spirit 🙏
Amen
