We have no need to live in fear, be brave, child of God. He loves you much and is always with you in your heart, know this! God will protect you and keep you save so long as you keep your faith in Him
I feel like God wants me to come out of this Fear of Man. It’s been holding me back from doing the things I love doing and the things God wants me to do. Because I fear their rejection. But ultimately being accepted by God is all that matters. Please pray for me tho
God it’s calling to step out of fear, fear of rejection, fear of man, I want to preach the gospel without caring about what others think of me, even if my friends reject me, I know the lord is calling me to do so. I only need the fear of the Lord!❤
For me this season, my familair place is being a teenager. God has been gracious and in a month I'll be graduating college. But the thing is, I already saw just a glimpse of the workplace and the responsibility of an adult and I was afraid. Because it's really comfortable just to scroll, play, watch and go out with friends and those we like to go out of but once I step out of that flat form after graduation. I know its gonna be a whole new stage, a new season. God is calling youth to adulthood and its scary but His with us every step of the way. Just like How this video mentions that Jesus' resurrection is the proof that we wont sink so pray for me and for many youths that are graduating, that we may be reminded of who God is in our life and that in Christ Jesus, we won't sink in the waters that God is calling us to walk on. In Jesus' name. Amen🙏
It’s not an easy transition, but it sure is so much more simple when your eyes are fixed on Jesus! I wish you the absolute best and pray that the Lord would bless you and strengthen you as you go out into the world. Everything will work out for your own good as you love and trust in Christ. Blessings upon blessings to you! Turn any fear into excitement for all that God has purposed for you :)
I feel like my comfortable place for years has been my laziness, addictions, and consistency in telling myself I’m not good enough to succeed at anything. It’s kept me complacent. It’s kept me in my slumber. It’s kept me away from what God desires for me. This word really spoke to me especially because I saw it RIGHT after a prayer I had with the Lord asking him to help me with my faith. I’m ready to step out on that water
This video hit me hard. I’ve been seeing a pattern of self-isolation in my life for a couple years now, but never acknowledged it as “fear” until today. I’ve always dismissed the pain in my chest at the thought of physically moving out of my home as love for my family, when in reality, it’s been fear of losing my support system. I’m realizing I’ve placed my family above the Lord. The familiarity and love that they provide has been my go-to comfort instead of the Lord. Note to self: Don’t be fooled into thinking that good things can only ever be good things. Anything you place above the Lord, you’re idolizing.
This was me for so so long and I genuinely didnt think i could get out of it. I thought the Bible didn't talk about it, but it does. It just talks about the root of the issue and not the behavior. If you want to talk you are welcome to message me! He will free you in Jesus name
I feel the fear that God is telling me to walk away from is acceptance and addiction also control. When I would go through my storm, I wouldn’t walk to Jesus I will stay on the boat. I will go back to the things God took me from because they’re comfortable instead of walking on faith knowing that God will bring me through. In this season, I’m breaking self sabotage habits, and leaning on faith in the grace of God. I pray we all leave our boats and trust God to lean on him and not lean on societies standards or devices that have passed. Amen 💕
GOD is calling me from my hometown. He has been calling g me for a few months now, but fear kept me stagnant. This video is the second one to pop up on my feed about leaving my home. I was asking God if this 8s really what I'm supposed to do & this and another video popped up. He is definitely telling me it's what he wants me to do. God is calling g us for a reason & we must listen & step out on faith
I stepped away from my faith for a long time I feel as if God is still holding on I can't lie when I say I feel terrible for not putting my faith in him and I feel as if I am not wanted or forgotten but I want a strong relationship with him more than anything. My name is Sergio, Please keep me in your prayers ❤
I’ll keep you in my prayers Sergio. Do understand that with God he always wants us no matter the time or day. With that being said, know that what you feel may be shame, doubts and everything that is not of God but rather your feelings! Don’t base God on your feelings. He loves you and wants you through his words in the Bible not by what you do or feel. Don’t wait when life is good or you feel like you’ve accomplished things but rather, come to him NOW with the mindset of WANTING TO CHANGE and in HUMILITY. The beauty of now is that God gave us a chance to submit to him. God loves you and he really wants you my friend, don’t leave him hangin 👊 ❤
Sergio just go back to the Lord I know it’s hard I’ve been through this. I know you feel ashamed and like a hypocrite. But God is waiting for you with open arms. He’s already forgiven you just go back to Him you will not regret it that’s for sure
The familiar place I believe God is trying to call me out of is worrying about my future and caring what others think. I am unsure of what I should do right out of college which has caused me to worry about my future every day. What I need to do is have that child-like faith and believe that God will guide me in the right direction. I also care about what others think of me too much which leads them to control my choices. It is time to be unapologetically me and be a confident person. Thanks for the video Alex.
Yeah, making friends is difficult, especially in real life since there is the challenge of maintaining closeness with people who won't always agree with you on everything. As someone who is online a lot, that's a difficulty i need to overcome. God help us all 🙂
Hey everyone . I graduated from high-school last year with nothing saved up for Uni but in my hearts of hearts I wanted to further my studies at a tertiary institution locally within my country , South Africa . When I got my results early January this year unfortunately my marks weren’t competitive enough to land me into the three Uni’s of my desires I had applied too . I had been so tunnel vision focused on those three and didn’t apply elsewhere . I had been so devastated because I didn’t plan to take a gap year . I then met someone who encouraged me to apply overseas but I was convinced I was setting myself up for another heartache because i thought to myself that if I didn’t get accepted locally what then makes me think Uni’s will accept me overseas ? But I pursued it anyway and to my surprise I had gotten accepted at a Uni in Northern Europe . I was so over the moon but reality got to me real quick , Tuition fees ? Accommodation? Food ? Cost of living ?My family and I had nothing saved up , we even struggled to raise up money nearly missing my deadline to accept my offer . I was so scared of the journey I was embarking on and whether I was even fit to pack my life up in a suitcase and leave my family , friends and life as I knew it to embrace another culture , a foreign place where not even a single soul knows me and I’m only 18 this year . My classes start this fall , September and I have gotten signs from God that it is his will that I pursue this endeavour. I’ve decided to give in and stop trying to take up his responsibilities into my hands . I’ve been praying without ceasing , emptying myself so that he fills me up that I may overflow through fasting . Exchanging my social media time with Worship . I probably figured that he wants to change my character so that I have the heart to know that it was an answer from God and gently put gratitude onto my lips declaring his good works unto my life not only for my satisfaction but so that I can move as many vessels as I can . I can already see the changes and my family is convicted and inspired through the good work of the Holy Spirit through me . I will not stop viciously praying until he trusts me to build on me blessing by blessing , breakthrough by breakthrough. Through my physical eyes this is an impossible task but through him all the impossibilities of life will bend its knee to the name Jesus ! Guys if you can please remember me in your prayers . I desperately desire that this may be a reality . I want to live in my answered prayers as a changed vessel . Love you all ❤️ Hope to update you soon in anticipation of good news
Awesome! Trust me, God's going to provide for all things. I just graduated high-school as well, and applied to community college -- but I literally had NOTHING. Mom was barely able to provide basic food, no money left over. About four days ago, God told me to share a verse with my mom. It was along the lines of "Salvation is near." The next day, my mom got a scholarship, along with $2,500 in the bank, literally impossible without God. (scholarship SPECIFICALLY for my college too!!!) I also got a brand new phone, which I had been asking God for for nearly two years. The whole ordeal was so amazing and unexpected that I was literally in shock for two whole days. I had a headache from trying to understand how God had blessed us so much! (all this is about 2 days ago) Our stories sound slightly similar, so I just want to encourage you to know what God can do. He will provide for you when it's His will. Sending much prayers! 🙏🙏❤❤ God's got you!
God often tests our hearts/spirits not our budgets. That does however mean that we step into dedication, discipline, meet new people/take daily action. We often forget the works that goes along the Faith steps. Or sometimes it’s just the works!
I think that familiar place he's trying to pull me out of is the past. He's saying "Its time to go" and that feeling of embarking on a new adventure hits me, but at the same time I find it hard to let go. Its like I'm in the ocean, and there he is in the boat above me waiting to pull me out, but I just have to accept his invitation. I think the only thing holding me back anymore is fear and the "what if's". And I'm starting to realize I can't stay here, or else I will drown. All I have to do is give him my yes, and I know he will take care of me.
Fear lives in familiarity. I have been struggling lately. I am alone; however, my patterns have become my home. I am ready to step out in my gifts. I have nothing else. Thank you for the world. Lord, I know you will not leave me.
I'll take the first step of going out of my comfort zone tomorrow,i will leave my hometown to fulfill an amazing plan God gave me in another city.Pray for me.Thank you so much and God bless to all of you.
So timely, after basic training I started training for a nurse role within the military I failed an exam, and had the option to either start the nursing course all over again or go into another job. What is comfortable is saying to start an “easier “ job but I’m choosing to walk by faith and I made the decision to start these courses again. Want to do it for His Glory! I know I Can NOT do this without Him! Excited to see Him move as I partner with him!
I loved being in my familiar space, which was just being in my room studying and going to my classes. I had no social life because I did not like to communicate with people, I was very shy and lacked self-confidence. I feel like God made me choose the path of becoming a doctor because he knows that this path will force me to leave my comfort space. I started volunteering at the hospital, my church, and at food pantries because I need to do this if I want to apply to medical schools. Now I love communicating with people, I am no longer shy and I prayed to God to help me become confident. I remember in the Bible that the Holy Spirit is in me which would help me become more confident and I remind myself to always believe that I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. I am grateful God used this path to take me out of my familiar space because I know the Lord needs to transform me so that I can be ready to do His will.
Lord if that's you, command me to come. I'm currently learning to step out of the familiar and comfortable spaces I've nested in. I'm just going where Jesus is taking me.
As a teenager that sometimes struggles with peer pressure, I am so blessed and grateful that I watched this video. Thank you so much Alex! May the Lord bless you and be with you and continue to use you!!
I am being called to move states with my husband and children, selling what we can and starting fresh and this short video has definitely convicted me and is very true: walking by faith is HUGE when you’re comfortable and everyone around you is comfortable and make you out to be the crazy one, just like the persecuted our Lord Jesus Christ. I know that taking this leap of faith will be better for our family, so I choose to trust in Him and His plan for our lives. Blessed be!
I am currently dealing with something, and I was just wondering if God wants me to get out of my comfort zone and then I saw this. Clearly a sign. I don’t know what it is for, but I am trusting Him 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this video Alex. I prayed this morning for God to send Christian friendships in my life to increase and strengthen my faith, and then I came across your video. I am at a point to leave fear and the familiar behind and step into the beautiful unknown God has for my life. I believe this video is confirmation to keep seeking Christ's will, no matter what!
For me it’s God calling me to leave my sense of control. So often I try to manipulate or do things in my way with one step into the world and one step in Heaven. I know this isn’t how it shouldn’t be and I need to be fully trusting in His timing and control. I also need to drop my perception of how people see me. I have a passion of cars and it hit me when Alex you said people on Instagram showing off their materials. Please continue to pray for me guys appreciate you all and God bless ❤️
I left my comfortable place from smoking 🌱 & 🌽 cornography. I’m in a period of isolation and God has been opening my eyes to see that this is my walk. What’s important is my relationship with Jesus. I feel that some think I’m just in “Jesus Phase” but nahhh. I’ve been away from him for too long. All of my urges for 🌱 & 🌽 are gone. All praises to the Most High. ❤️
This was literally the perfect message that I need to hear to solidify what I’m feeling and experiencing right now. God is asking me to lean more into following Christianity and changing careers. I left the new age and it’s been a rough road. Especially as a single mom. Thank you 🙏🏼
This is an answer to a prayer that I've been praying for and oddly enough was something that was heavily on my mind when I woke up this morning. I'm someone who intentionally isolates myself but because of Jesus, I was able to recognize that and seek therapy for healing. He has called me out of that and trust in Him, where ever He decides to lead me. I thank You, Lord, for having Your Spirit speak through Your people. God bless you and your family, Alex. All praise and glory to the LORD :).
hey everyone! please pray for me. i believe i’m in the unfamiliar bc I’m a Christian and, not doing what a lot of people around me are doing. as a high schooler that’s hard, but i have higher hopes than most right now, at my age, God’s got me. and that’s what i believe full heartedly!! amen!
God has been showing me, giving me and even getting contracts for the expansion of my brand, and every time I got scared that I might ruin it. This isn't a coincidence at all. I just finished meditating on Ephesians 3:17 and on TH-cam God is talking about leaving the familiar, I am taking that step today in Jesus' name. Amen
Amazing. One of the most impactful parts of the story for me is that Peter looked down and became fearful instead of keeping His eyes on Jesus. If only I could always keep my eyes on Him and trust Him fully. Jesus is so good!
I feel the familiar place where God is asking me to leave from is temptation. I have been trying to leave it but these past few days it really hit me hard. I, just today, realized through a conversation with God that the opportunities and endeavors I have been praying about is on the other side with Him. God says love your enemies, I am my own worst enemy, it's me against me (my flesh). I should love myself, respect myself and leave this sin in the fire where it belongs. God wants to prosper us and bless us. We should go out there and walk on water for our good, the good of others, and for His glory, in Jesus' name!
The way this word ministered to me, Eh I can only thank God, so I thank God. I thank you for allowing God to use you, God bless you and bless your family Alex
i feel like the Lord is calling me out of finding stability in worldly things. i’ve recently given up social media for the week and i definitely feel how dependent i was upon it. it’s uncomfortable to walk by faith but i feel the Lord calling me to do it, so that’s why i keep trusting despite how i fewl
Is that you? Whew that hit me like a ton of bricks. God has been telling me to move and trust HIM. This resignated and I am ready to stop trying to have control and Fear in my heart. ❤🙏🏽 This was my sign.
My familiar spot is home. But God has given me an opportunity to become a Traveling Wind Technician for Renew Energy. I'm working at Chick-fil-A (for another week)and I had a CAD class for this coming semester, but I know this would be a great opportunity to build my relationship with God even more. Spread the Gospel, and see his creation even more.
Lord if that’s you that is asking me to go to church, even when my whole family isn’t Christian and forbid me to go church. If that’s you, then please just give me faith to step out onto the water and go. Please guide me to the church you want me to go to and please provide me a way to get there. Please help me to have the strength to follow you wherever you lead me all the days of my life and seek your presence above anything and or anyone else. In Jesus name I pray through the power of the Holy Spirit Amen 🙏🏽
Thank you Jesus I really do appreciate you and all you say I like the analogy that you put how Jesus is walking towards me on the water I never thought about that
God is calling me to leave my job which is stable, salary based, with full medical insurance and dental insurance. & it’s nerve wrecking. But my spirit just can’t do it anymore. There are too many souls that need to hear this good news, which is the restoration of all things, the coming of the Lord. I’m thinking of buying a Skoolie and just travel the US/North America preaching the gospel. We need to wake up the church and call back the prodigal children. The King is coming soon! Please pray for me church.
I believe that God has a job and new life on the horizon for me. It's difficult as it's a long shortIt doesn't seem to be in my reach and I've put so much on the line(school-wise), in hopes of venturing into this new door. Plus, I'll miss my family terribly and will literally only have God once I start the job. But I'm also very excited knowing that God wants to give me the job and has already made the preparations. The holy spirit continues to encourage me to believe and wait upon Him and that He will provide me with everything necessary to do this job well for His glory. Thank you, Alex, as the Lord has used you to continue to stir my faith as I step out into the unknown, according to His call and leading. Glory, praise, and honor to Our God! Our good shepherd!
Thank you, Alex. This message is for me. Battling with a million thoughts that keeps me in constant fear, I pray for faith restoration and internal peace. Well wishes🙏
It’s too much too type but this is confirmation that I am hearing God correctly. The Lord just confirmed with me THIS MORNING, that I am in a season of mystery. Not only walking by faith, LIVING by faith and all I need to do is grasp onto him. Thank you for being obedient and making this video !
I am so inspired that we should be the one who tries to do our best to walk upon the faith regardless of circumstances of fear so that someone who are struggling with the similar problem will be encouraged to overcome fear. Thx!
I really feel like God has been talking to me lately. Your videos popped up so randomly and I’m so appreciative of that. It’s been a journey but I’m grateful he has never left my side. God bless you
I can’t even explain how much I needed this. I was just talking to my boyfriend about how Matthew 14 has always been one of my favorite stories. There’s been a lot of new and scary things happening in my life but I know God is and has taken care of all of it. I’m so grateful God showed me your podcast because it’s truly helped me with so many things💜
I thank God for you this morning's teaching preaching reached out to me because I will be leaving the familiar stepping out on faith and I know God will be there helping me thank you God bless you and your family things on top of blessings for your ministry in the name of Jesus Christ amen amen🙏🏽💯
In my past life before Christ, I was always seeking validation and approval from others usually through materialism, the way I dressed, talked etc. just living in the world. Now, after Jesus came and made me new a lot of the things I desired were instantly changed and plenty had fallen off. However the heart motive is so important to God. Recently my heart motive has been merely out of pride and selfish ambition to receive the approval of man. God has told me to come out of the familiar place of acceptance because the truth is as His children we must seek first for His kingdom, for His love, His sacrifice that has made us APPROVED by God. So all in all I am so thankful to the Lord for taking me higher, to new places with Him. Though He chastens for a time, He does it all for a reason. Praise God!!!.
Thank you for this Alex. If anyone sees this I ask you guys to pray over my relationship with Syd. Prophecies have been spoken over our relationship and we’ve even made promises to each to her. However, waves have came and wind blew on our hearts and relationship. I ask you pray not only over us but over her heart. That she lets forgiveness and Jesus in. And her physical body , her back specifically that she is healed and renewed ❤
Matthew 14:22-33 was a favorite and special verse for me during my college years. Peter has been looking out for me and praying for me I know because I relate to so many of his fears and encounters with Christ. What I love about this one is that as long as we keep our eyes on Christ, we can do all things. The second part I love is that Christ IMMEDIATELY saves Peter when he cries for help. When I’m struggling through storms, I try to remember to keep my eyes on Christ and call for his help if I feel like I’m sinking. He hasn’t failed me yet and he won’t.
I think I needed this video I grew up in a muslim family but about 4 months ago I made every effort to leave my family and became openly ex muslim to Christian to them. It was a bit chaotic cause I was borderline homeless the first 2 weeks I left and ended up moving back in denying Christ (because I didnt want to be on the streets) for another couple of weeks eventually I rented a room a left since then. Welp even now I think im in my familiar place despite the chaos I went through not really too confident in my faith but I do feel like my mundane life is heading towards the broad path of destruction. Im thinking of preaching to muslims and around mosques but yea im not confident in my knowledge capabilities and muslims can get aggressive.
I have been idolizing having a good body over the Lord. After God told me to quit cross country, I felt really weird doing so but I did anyway. I am now doing better things for God’s sake. I am happy I quit despite the doubts I still face
Definitely an answer to my prayer because I was tempted to go back to the things of the past today. Please pray for me as I choose the Lord and to walk by faith ❤️. Thank you Alex for this amazing message
OOF ! 🔥 “is that you, Lord Jesus ?” For me, it is friendships. I grew up w really good friends from my home church but honestly I think he’s showing me that I can’t just depend on them as my only friends but to not be afraid and even desire and be joyful to make new Christian friends - ones that will be edifying and I’ll connect more with. Another one is serving at church. Today, literally, I said “if it’s you God then you will open the doors for me to serve in that capacity” and the door opened like a few hours later . I only want to step out if it’s Jesus calling 🥺❤️
For the last few years God has been calling me out of this fear of acceptance. I feel sometimes I have to act a certain way around people and can't be the true me, the man that God is calling me to be out of fear of rejection. Slowly he's been pulling me out of it but I need to just keep putting my faith in him!
Amen to you and family.I left the regular crowd of friends behind .I was always different to them and they knew it.Nerd to say .lol.. He let me see him so many times in my struggles that I can't deny it.I talk to him all the time.Thanking him for guidance.
God is calling me out of my comfort zone by pushing me to open my art business... It's hard and scary but I try to listen as much as christian talks about faith cause God knows it's hard for me
I feel like ABBA wants me to spread the good news more often. He’s trying to break me out of fear of rejection. Also fearing vulnerability with others.
I'm Brazilian and I confess that I don't really like watching Christian videos in English because I'm more used to Portuguese. But I've been following this channel for years and EVERY time God is telling me to leave my comfort zone or tells me to take a step of faith, TH-cam starts recommending me his videos... every time I see Alex's face on my TH-cam I start to get scared cuz I knows there is something coming haha😂😂 jk Thank you very much Alex, for this and all the videos that are crucial in difficult moments of decision in my life!
This video hit me so hard. I'm a naturally anxious, mistrustful and worrisome person. It's one of my stumbling blocks and I feel like God has been calling to attention this area in my heart that constantly craves control and order. It's difficult for me to surrender to God. One example of this is being a light to my generation. I'm 19 and go to a college that's famous for its progressive and liberal ideals. I lived in fear for the most of my Freshman year because of how alone I felt. I didn't have a Christian community yet that I was able to regulalry keep in touch with, so I was afraid of being isolated and ostracized for my counter-cultural beliefs as a Christian. After reflecting on my silence as a Christian during that first year, I deeply regret not being bolder in my faith and am making it a goal to be completely open about my beliefs as I go into my Sophomore year. I'm tired of being a slave to my fear and people-pleasing tendencies. I'm tired of this horrible shame. Please pray for me, brothers and sisters ♡ I long to grow in my faith and deepen my walk and intimacy with Him.
My comfort place was an unhealthy relationship I was in for three years. I love the person deeply but for months I felt God telling me I had to let her go… for her sake and for mine. I also felt God calling me to the road and her and I decided we would do it together as a way to mend some wounds. I left my job, sold everything, and moved into a camper trailer living on the road full time… but I still felt God telling me I had to let her go. We separated yesterday. My heart is broken and I have been full of doubt all day, but then this video found me. Oh me of little faith haha. God is still calling me onward on my own. It was him in the beginning and I know it’s him now.
It’s an exciting but I recently left my partner cus I was falling into sin and I thought maybe God wants me alone right now and a few weeks later she lets me know she’s pregnant. And now we’re back together (she doesn’t believe) It’s going well still growth being done but I’ve been down thinking is this what I’m called to be But a man who is double minded is blown about like the waves of the see. So now it’s just stepping out into fatherhood instead of hiding or running. And I’ve been well stressed about how am I gonna provide my mrs is from aus I gotta sort out all this stuff for moving and the medical cost down the uk are expensive so yh a tricky one rlly but exciting for sure ❤thank you God bless brother 🤙🤙
Rugs… it’s been hard and it still is. This video speaks right to me. The comfort I feel knowing after all this Jesus still is searching and running after me while im running away. Yet im still letting myself fall deeper not searching for help or even helping myself… living in fear of God not in the way he wants me to fear him. Always thinking the second i step outside theres a target aiming down on me from the sky. Thats not who God is. YHWH is love. The best love and what true love is. But why dont i appreciate that by offering my life to him. I say i wont give up on him but im steady living like i already did. Please pray for me. Appreciate God with your life please. Its tough
My familiar is working 15 years at a renown organization. My familiar is California and feel like I'm being drawn to leave the state. I have it all here, my home cars family and friends. I pray God leads me to those waters!
I want to successfully be able to sustain my family's needs. I kind of copied my pastor's wife's prayer about this. Asked that a job be desirable through His eyes and not distract us from Him. I guess my familiarity would actually be, the venture ADventure even. I want the Lord to simply scoop me up give me the feathers to fly where I can be best used, teaching my family you can too. I think most of my doubts are AM I praying correctly, am I asking for things I don't need? Let me see with Your eyes, sweet Jesus. Let me feel every uneven surface, every pebble on the path You set before me. You do so Great, and I so little. Give me courage and words and patience i ask in Jesus ' name! Heal my inequities
Im stuck in a boat regarding my career path choice. When this video was first posted, I scrolled past it, and the Holy Spirit didn’t let me forget. Days later (today) I had a Bible study with fellow believers, and was told by 2 members, who hadn’t conversed with each other prior, but agreed on the path that they believed I should take, would be appropriate for the Lord and for my demeanor. I’ll pray on it, testing to see if it’s from the Lord or not. Although I’m late to the video, God delivered it on time….Per usual😂💜
This was spot on for me: I have felt called by The Most High to share the scriptures and the understandings The Holy Spirit has given me, but the struggle is the rejection issues that come with social media especially when you’re actually bringing truth. I am learning what it’s like to have the healthy degrees of separation that you’re speaking on here. Thank you bro
God is telling me to leave familiarity, my brother owns a gym and was paying me to manage it, now things are getting tough, and I'm forced to look for a job, I try to apply at different jobs but it never seems to go my way no matter how great of an interviewee I am. I'm now starting a powerwashing business and have a crew, but I'm not to sure if that's what God is telling me to do, it's summer but when winter hints idk what to do! But I have faith in Jesus name!
Thank you so much for this timely word! Definitely encouraged. In this season, God hasn’t been calling me to step off the familiarity of my career. Scary but like you said, when we’re chasing after Jesus, we won’t sink.
I was wracking my brain trying to hear where God wants me to do my medical residency. I was in between comfortably doing it in my home country or walking in faith and trying the USMLE and this totally spoke to me. It’s scary and hard but if it’ll ultimately glorify the Lord then I’ll do it
I’ve been big time wrestling with what steps I need to take in life. I want to give my life fully to the Lord and feel as if I have in many ways. I want to serve, but I also have this unrelenting desire in me to travel and evangelize. Please pray for me that the Lord’s Will would be done in my life! I’m ready for big steps of faith, I just don’t know what they look like…
Thanks for this video Alex. I think for me I hear plenty of ways in which Go is calling me to leave familiarity when I read the bible, particularly the book of proverbs. But then I tend to forget it after I’ve read and prayed on it. Perhaps it’s time to start journaling to keep track of progress/ answers to prayer.
This is so relatable! I pray and hope that God will help us remember his Word(surely God will help us, let us have faith and hope in Him!😊). May God bless us and be with us all🥰🥰
this is so on time for me, i feel he'd been calling me to start a Christian blog & this week it finally happened! then i was afraid to go to a church event cuz of my social anxiety but a family member ended up calling me to come & so i went & got to further my relationship with a friend :')
I am New to all this barely learning how to talk to god and read the Bible I am always amazed in how through videos god has talked to me at this moment in my life I feel like god wants me to move out of the state that I am and leave my comfort zone again but this time by my self.
Alex hiiii!!! it's been long since i visited your channel, but God directed me here, in the perfect time, i needed this instruction, these wise words, these are the words to live by,and ... everyday. this is what we call faith. faith , where fear has no hold of us. faith 🍃
I definitely feel like God is slowing getting me out of my comfort zone day by day, I’m scared, but I’m Trusting God with this. Also Good Morning!
We have no need to live in fear, be brave, child of God. He loves you much and is always with you in your heart, know this! God will protect you and keep you save so long as you keep your faith in Him
You got this!
Amen For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power love and of a sound mind
Amen he is bro I feel the same way rn putting me in new places meeting new people have faith always.
He will lead all the way. God bless you
I feel like God wants me to come out of this Fear of Man. It’s been holding me back from doing the things I love doing and the things God wants me to do. Because I fear their rejection. But ultimately being accepted by God is all that matters. Please pray for me tho
Amen. He is with you through it all. Continue to play and walk with Our father.❤
Mann fear of man is a tough one im struggling with too but the Lord will bring us through!
God bless you!! Be bold in the Holy Spirit! He loves you and has great things planned for you.
I'm struggling with this too
prayed just now❤
I have food addiction and I struggle to make a perfect Christian life with jesus. but my lord Jesus have saved.
I WILL NO LONGER LIVE BY FEAR I WILL GLADLY RUSH TO WALK ON WATER WITH JESUS AMEN
God it’s calling to step out of fear, fear of rejection, fear of man, I want to preach the gospel without caring about what others think of me, even if my friends reject me, I know the lord is calling me to do so. I only need the fear of the Lord!❤
Me too
Same
For me this season, my familair place is being a teenager. God has been gracious and in a month I'll be graduating college. But the thing is, I already saw just a glimpse of the workplace and the responsibility of an adult and I was afraid. Because it's really comfortable just to scroll, play, watch and go out with friends and those we like to go out of but once I step out of that flat form after graduation. I know its gonna be a whole new stage, a new season. God is calling youth to adulthood and its scary but His with us every step of the way. Just like How this video mentions that Jesus' resurrection is the proof that we wont sink so pray for me and for many youths that are graduating, that we may be reminded of who God is in our life and that in Christ Jesus, we won't sink in the waters that God is calling us to walk on. In Jesus' name. Amen🙏
Wow thank you for explaining your perspective. I'll be graduating next year and this is how I feel🙏
Amen I’m happy for you. God won’t let us youth sink
It’s not an easy transition, but it sure is so much more simple when your eyes are fixed on Jesus! I wish you the absolute best and pray that the Lord would bless you and strengthen you as you go out into the world. Everything will work out for your own good as you love and trust in Christ. Blessings upon blessings to you! Turn any fear into excitement for all that God has purposed for you :)
He is with you young man! be bold and know he is right there
I feel like my comfortable place for years has been my laziness, addictions, and consistency in telling myself I’m not good enough to succeed at anything. It’s kept me complacent. It’s kept me in my slumber. It’s kept me away from what God desires for me. This word really spoke to me especially because I saw it RIGHT after a prayer I had with the Lord asking him to help me with my faith. I’m ready to step out on that water
This video hit me hard. I’ve been seeing a pattern of self-isolation in my life for a couple years now, but never acknowledged it as “fear” until today. I’ve always dismissed the pain in my chest at the thought of physically moving out of my home as love for my family, when in reality, it’s been fear of losing my support system. I’m realizing I’ve placed my family above the Lord. The familiarity and love that they provide has been my go-to comfort instead of the Lord.
Note to self: Don’t be fooled into thinking that good things can only ever be good things. Anything you place above the Lord, you’re idolizing.
Oooo this one hit me.
The pain in the chest is so relatable...
I struggle with food addiction & binge eating. But I am leaving this area of comfort and giving it to Jesus to heal me from this.❤
Yess!
Hi, I just want to encourage you💜. You got this, keep praying abt it and trust the Lord🫶🏾🫶🏾
You got this !
This was me for so so long and I genuinely didnt think i could get out of it. I thought the Bible didn't talk about it, but it does. It just talks about the root of the issue and not the behavior. If you want to talk you are welcome to message me! He will free you in Jesus name
💕amen !! u got this girl jesus will heal you from this
I feel the fear that God is telling me to walk away from is acceptance and addiction also control. When I would go through my storm, I wouldn’t walk to Jesus I will stay on the boat. I will go back to the things God took me from because they’re comfortable instead of walking on faith knowing that God will bring me through. In this season, I’m breaking self sabotage habits, and leaning on faith in the grace of God. I pray we all leave our boats and trust God to lean on him and not lean on societies standards or devices that have passed. Amen 💕
God is definitely calling me out of my home country to pursue my education and to trust him every step of the way!
GOD is calling me from my hometown. He has been calling g me for a few months now, but fear kept me stagnant. This video is the second one to pop up on my feed about leaving my home. I was asking God if this 8s really what I'm supposed to do & this and another video popped up. He is definitely telling me it's what he wants me to do. God is calling g us for a reason & we must listen & step out on faith
I stepped away from my faith for a long time I feel as if God is still holding on I can't lie when I say I feel terrible for not putting my faith in him and I feel as if I am not wanted or forgotten but I want a strong relationship with him more than anything. My name is Sergio, Please keep me in your prayers ❤
Hi Sergio! I pray that you would put your trust in the Lord Jesus, and that you would see how good and loving God is!
Praying for your Sergio! Spend time with Him, He doesn't leave you!
I’ll keep you in my prayers Sergio. Do understand that with God he always wants us no matter the time or day. With that being said, know that what you feel may be shame, doubts and everything that is not of God but rather your feelings! Don’t base God on your feelings. He loves you and wants you through his words in the Bible not by what you do or feel. Don’t wait when life is good or you feel like you’ve accomplished things but rather, come to him NOW with the mindset of WANTING TO CHANGE and in HUMILITY. The beauty of now is that God gave us a chance to submit to him. God loves you and he really wants you my friend, don’t leave him hangin 👊 ❤
Sergio just go back to the Lord I know it’s hard I’ve been through this. I know you feel ashamed and like a hypocrite. But God is waiting for you with open arms. He’s already forgiven you just go back to Him you will not regret it that’s for sure
Sergio, I am on the same boat as you! I’m glad I’m not the only one, but I know we can do this!
The familiar place I believe God is trying to call me out of is worrying about my future and caring what others think. I am unsure of what I should do right out of college which has caused me to worry about my future every day. What I need to do is have that child-like faith and believe that God will guide me in the right direction. I also care about what others think of me too much which leads them to control my choices. It is time to be unapologetically me and be a confident person. Thanks for the video Alex.
He's telling me to leave my loneliness. It takes courage to build good friendships and to not care about opinions
Wow yes same here. Heavy on that, sometimes we think God wants us to be alone but that is not always the case.
Yeah, making friends is difficult, especially in real life since there is the challenge of maintaining closeness with people who won't always agree with you on everything. As someone who is online a lot, that's a difficulty i need to overcome.
God help us all 🙂

Hey everyone . I graduated from high-school last year with nothing saved up for Uni but in my hearts of hearts I wanted to further my studies at a tertiary institution locally within my country , South Africa . When I got my results early January this year unfortunately my marks weren’t competitive enough to land me into the three Uni’s of my desires I had applied too . I had been so tunnel vision focused on those three and didn’t apply elsewhere . I had been so devastated because I didn’t plan to take a gap year . I then met someone who encouraged me to apply overseas but I was convinced I was setting myself up for another heartache because i thought to myself that if I didn’t get accepted locally what then makes me think Uni’s will accept me overseas ? But I pursued it anyway and to my surprise I had gotten accepted at a Uni in Northern Europe . I was so over the moon but reality got to me real quick , Tuition fees ? Accommodation? Food ? Cost of living ?My family and I had nothing saved up , we even struggled to raise up money nearly missing my deadline to accept my offer . I was so scared of the journey I was embarking on and whether I was even fit to pack my life up in a suitcase and leave my family , friends and life as I knew it to embrace another culture , a foreign place where not even a single soul knows me and I’m only 18 this year . My classes start this fall , September and I have gotten signs from God that it is his will that I pursue this endeavour. I’ve decided to give in and stop trying to take up his responsibilities into my hands . I’ve been praying without ceasing , emptying myself so that he fills me up that I may overflow through fasting . Exchanging my social media time with Worship . I probably figured that he wants to change my character so that I have the heart to know that it was an answer from God and gently put gratitude onto my lips declaring his good works unto my life not only for my satisfaction but so that I can move as many vessels as I can . I can already see the changes and my family is convicted and inspired through the good work of the Holy Spirit through me . I will not stop viciously praying until he trusts me to build on me blessing by blessing , breakthrough by breakthrough.
Through my physical eyes this is an impossible task but through him all the impossibilities of life will bend its knee to the name Jesus !
Guys if you can please remember me in your prayers . I desperately desire that this may be a reality . I want to live in my answered prayers as a changed vessel .
Love you all ❤️
Hope to update you soon in anticipation of good news
Awesome! Trust me, God's going to provide for all things. I just graduated high-school as well, and applied to community college -- but I literally had NOTHING. Mom was barely able to provide basic food, no money left over.
About four days ago, God told me to share a verse with my mom. It was along the lines of "Salvation is near." The next day, my mom got a scholarship, along with $2,500 in the bank, literally impossible without God. (scholarship SPECIFICALLY for my college too!!!) I also got a brand new phone, which I had been asking God for for nearly two years.
The whole ordeal was so amazing and unexpected that I was literally in shock for two whole days. I had a headache from trying to understand how God had blessed us so much! (all this is about 2 days ago)
Our stories sound slightly similar, so I just want to encourage you to know what God can do. He will provide for you when it's His will. Sending much prayers! 🙏🙏❤❤ God's got you!
God often tests our hearts/spirits not our budgets. That does however mean that we step into dedication, discipline, meet new people/take daily action. We often forget the works that goes along the Faith steps. Or sometimes it’s just the works!
I think that familiar place he's trying to pull me out of is the past. He's saying "Its time to go" and that feeling of embarking on a new adventure hits me, but at the same time I find it hard to let go. Its like I'm in the ocean, and there he is in the boat above me waiting to pull me out, but I just have to accept his invitation. I think the only thing holding me back anymore is fear and the "what if's". And I'm starting to realize I can't stay here, or else I will drown. All I have to do is give him my yes, and I know he will take care of me.
Fear lives in familiarity. I have been struggling lately. I am alone; however, my patterns have become my home. I am ready to step out in my gifts. I have nothing else. Thank you for the world. Lord, I know you will not leave me.
I'll take the first step of going out of my comfort zone tomorrow,i will leave my hometown to fulfill an amazing plan God gave me in another city.Pray for me.Thank you so much and God bless to all of you.
So timely, after basic training I started training for a nurse role within the military I failed an exam, and had the option to either start the nursing course all over again or go into another job. What is comfortable is saying to start an “easier “ job but I’m choosing to walk by faith and I made the decision to start these courses again. Want to do it for His Glory! I know I Can NOT do this without Him!
Excited to see Him move as I partner with him!
I loved being in my familiar space, which was just being in my room studying and going to my classes. I had no social life because I did not like to communicate with people, I was very shy and lacked self-confidence. I feel like God made me choose the path of becoming a doctor because he knows that this path will force me to leave my comfort space.
I started volunteering at the hospital, my church, and at food pantries because I need to do this if I want to apply to medical schools. Now I love communicating with people, I am no longer shy and I prayed to God to help me become confident. I remember in the Bible that the Holy Spirit is in me which would help me become more confident and I remind myself to always believe that I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
I am grateful God used this path to take me out of my familiar space because I know the Lord needs to transform me so that I can be ready to do His will.
God bless and much love to all 🙏❤️
Lord if that's you, command me to come. I'm currently learning to step out of the familiar and comfortable spaces I've nested in. I'm just going where Jesus is taking me.
As a teenager that sometimes struggles with peer pressure, I am so blessed and grateful that I watched this video. Thank you so much Alex! May the Lord bless you and be with you and continue to use you!!
I am being called to move states with my husband and children, selling what we can and starting fresh and this short video has definitely convicted me and is very true: walking by faith is HUGE when you’re comfortable and everyone around you is comfortable and make you out to be the crazy one, just like the persecuted our Lord Jesus Christ. I know that taking this leap of faith will be better for our family, so I choose to trust in Him and His plan for our lives. Blessed be!
I am currently dealing with something, and I was just wondering if God wants me to get out of my comfort zone and then I saw this. Clearly a sign. I don’t know what it is for, but I am trusting Him 🙏🙏🙏
Leave the ordinary and start walking up to the mountain peak 🙏
Thank you for this video Alex. I prayed this morning for God to send Christian friendships in my life to increase and strengthen my faith, and then I came across your video. I am at a point to leave fear and the familiar behind and step into the beautiful unknown God has for my life. I believe this video is confirmation to keep seeking Christ's will, no matter what!
For me it’s God calling me to leave my sense of control. So often I try to manipulate or do things in my way with one step into the world and one step in Heaven. I know this isn’t how it shouldn’t be and I need to be fully trusting in His timing and control. I also need to drop my perception of how people see me. I have a passion of cars and it hit me when Alex you said people on Instagram showing off their materials. Please continue to pray for me guys appreciate you all and God bless ❤️
Leave the familiar wherein fear resides. Walk by faith, not by sight. Thanks for this message Alex.
I left my comfortable place from smoking 🌱 & 🌽 cornography. I’m in a period of isolation and God has been opening my eyes to see that this is my walk. What’s important is my relationship with Jesus. I feel that some think I’m just in “Jesus Phase” but nahhh. I’ve been away from him for too long. All of my urges for 🌱 & 🌽 are gone. All praises to the Most High. ❤️
This was literally the perfect message that I need to hear to solidify what I’m feeling and experiencing right now. God is asking me to lean more into following Christianity and changing careers. I left the new age and it’s been a rough road. Especially as a single mom. Thank you 🙏🏼
This is an answer to a prayer that I've been praying for and oddly enough was something that was heavily on my mind when I woke up this morning. I'm someone who intentionally isolates myself but because of Jesus, I was able to recognize that and seek therapy for healing. He has called me out of that and trust in Him, where ever He decides to lead me. I thank You, Lord, for having Your Spirit speak through Your people. God bless you and your family, Alex. All praise and glory to the LORD :).
hey everyone! please pray for me. i believe i’m in the unfamiliar bc I’m a Christian and, not doing what a lot of people around me are doing. as a high schooler that’s hard, but i have higher hopes than most right now, at my age, God’s got me. and that’s what i believe full heartedly!! amen!
God has been showing me, giving me and even getting contracts for the expansion of my brand, and every time I got scared that I might ruin it. This isn't a coincidence at all. I just finished meditating on Ephesians 3:17 and on TH-cam God is talking about leaving the familiar, I am taking that step today in Jesus' name. Amen
Amazing. One of the most impactful parts of the story for me is that Peter looked down and became fearful instead of keeping His eyes on Jesus. If only I could always keep my eyes on Him and trust Him fully. Jesus is so good!
“He sank so we could walk” SHEESH. So powerful
I feel the familiar place where God is asking me to leave from is temptation. I have been trying to leave it but these past few days it really hit me hard. I, just today, realized through a conversation with God that the opportunities and endeavors I have been praying about is on the other side with Him. God says love your enemies, I am my own worst enemy, it's me against me (my flesh). I should love myself, respect myself and leave this sin in the fire where it belongs. God wants to prosper us and bless us. We should go out there and walk on water for our good, the good of others, and for His glory, in Jesus' name!
I feel the same way too.I think God is asking me to leave the Sin I am struggling with too for something better.
@@oceanrosethatsailsacrossth3466 We got to stay strong and trust in Him.
The way this word ministered to me, Eh I can only thank God, so I thank God. I thank you for allowing God to use you, God bless you and bless your family Alex
Perfect timing because I have terrible anxiety, afraid to do so many things I used to do. Thank you for this. God Bless.
Amen I Love Amen Podcast And I Love You Alex.. Thank You Jesus For Leading Toward These Amazing People In Christ 🙏🏽✝️
i feel like the Lord is calling me out of finding stability in worldly things. i’ve recently given up social media for the week and i definitely feel how dependent i was upon it. it’s uncomfortable to walk by faith but i feel the Lord calling me to do it, so that’s why i keep trusting despite how i fewl
Is that you? Whew that hit me like a ton of bricks. God has been telling me to move and trust HIM. This resignated and I am ready to stop trying to have control and Fear in my heart. ❤🙏🏽 This was my sign.
My familiar spot is home. But God has given me an opportunity to become a Traveling Wind Technician for Renew Energy. I'm working at Chick-fil-A (for another week)and I had a CAD class for this coming semester, but I know this would be a great opportunity to build my relationship with God even more. Spread the Gospel, and see his creation even more.
Lord if that’s you that is asking me to go to church, even when my whole family isn’t Christian and forbid me to go church. If that’s you, then please just give me faith to step out onto the water and go. Please guide me to the church you want me to go to and please provide me a way to get there. Please help me to have the strength to follow you wherever you lead me all the days of my life and seek your presence above anything and or anyone else. In Jesus name I pray through the power of the Holy Spirit Amen 🙏🏽
Thank you Jesus I really do appreciate you and all you say I like the analogy that you put how Jesus is walking towards me on the water I never thought about that
God is calling me to leave my job which is stable, salary based, with full medical insurance and dental insurance.
& it’s nerve wrecking.
But my spirit just can’t do it anymore. There are too many souls that need to hear this good news, which is the restoration of all things, the coming of the Lord.
I’m thinking of buying a Skoolie and just travel the US/North America preaching the gospel.
We need to wake up the church and call back the prodigal children. The King is coming soon! Please pray for me church.
I believe that God has a job and new life on the horizon for me. It's difficult as it's a long shortIt doesn't seem to be in my reach and I've put so much on the line(school-wise), in hopes of venturing into this new door. Plus, I'll miss my family terribly and will literally only have God once I start the job. But I'm also very excited knowing that God wants to give me the job and has already made the preparations. The holy spirit continues to encourage me to believe and wait upon Him and that He will provide me with everything necessary to do this job well for His glory.
Thank you, Alex, as the Lord has used you to continue to stir my faith as I step out into the unknown, according to His call and leading. Glory, praise, and honor to Our God! Our good shepherd!
Amen yes it’s good to go into the unknown because becoming comfortable can make you become stagnant🦋
Thank you, Alex. This message is for me. Battling with a million thoughts that keeps me in constant fear, I pray for faith restoration and internal peace. Well wishes🙏
I loved this message. Anytime I'm faced with fear or doing something out of my comfort zone I'm going to picture God reaching down for me
It’s too much too type but this is confirmation that I am hearing God correctly. The Lord just confirmed with me THIS MORNING, that I am in a season of mystery. Not only walking by faith, LIVING by faith and all I need to do is grasp onto him. Thank you for being obedient and making this video !
WOW THIS HIT LIKE A ROCK TO MY SOUL! Man God help me. Lord I want to believe, help my unbelief.
Thank you Alex, thank you Holy Spirit.
Thank you for this word your videos never fail thank God for people like you 🙏
I am so inspired that we should be the one who tries to do our best to walk upon the faith regardless of circumstances of fear so that someone who are struggling with the similar problem will be encouraged to overcome fear. Thx!
I really feel like God has been talking to me lately. Your videos popped up so randomly and I’m so appreciative of that. It’s been a journey but I’m grateful he has never left my side. God bless you
Yesss. Sometimes we feel guilt when we don't know for certain it is God but Peter, He knew His friend Jesus 🙂. IF IT IS YOU LORD... WOW ❤
I’ve gotta grow my discipline and obedience
I can’t even explain how much I needed this. I was just talking to my boyfriend about how Matthew 14 has always been one of my favorite stories. There’s been a lot of new and scary things happening in my life but I know God is and has taken care of all of it. I’m so grateful God showed me your podcast because it’s truly helped me with so many things💜
I thank God for you this morning's teaching preaching reached out to me because I will be leaving the familiar stepping out on faith and I know God will be there helping me thank you God bless you and your family things on top of blessings for your ministry in the name of Jesus Christ amen amen🙏🏽💯
Confirmation. Wow. I love this season God is bringing you through! 🎉
In my past life before Christ, I was always seeking validation and approval from others usually through materialism, the way I dressed, talked etc. just living in the world. Now, after Jesus came and made me new a lot of the things I desired were instantly changed and plenty had fallen off. However the heart motive is so important to God. Recently my heart motive has been merely out of pride and selfish ambition to receive the approval of man. God has told me to come out of the familiar place of acceptance because the truth is as His children we must seek first for His kingdom, for His love, His sacrifice that has made us APPROVED by God. So all in all I am so thankful to the Lord for taking me higher, to new places with Him. Though He chastens for a time, He does it all for a reason. Praise God!!!.
Thank you for this Alex. If anyone sees this I ask you guys to pray over my relationship with Syd. Prophecies have been spoken over our relationship and we’ve even made promises to each to her. However, waves have came and wind blew on our hearts and relationship. I ask you pray not only over us but over her heart. That she lets forgiveness and Jesus in. And her physical body , her back specifically that she is healed and renewed ❤
The timing on this is crazyy🔥 Praise God
Matthew 14:22-33 was a favorite and special verse for me during my college years. Peter has been looking out for me and praying for me I know because I relate to so many of his fears and encounters with Christ. What I love about this one is that as long as we keep our eyes on Christ, we can do all things. The second part I love is that Christ IMMEDIATELY saves Peter when he cries for help. When I’m struggling through storms, I try to remember to keep my eyes on Christ and call for his help if I feel like I’m sinking. He hasn’t failed me yet and he won’t.
I think I needed this video I grew up in a muslim family but about 4 months ago I made every effort to leave my family and became openly ex muslim to Christian to them. It was a bit chaotic cause I was borderline homeless the first 2 weeks I left and ended up moving back in denying Christ (because I didnt want to be on the streets) for another couple of weeks eventually I rented a room a left since then. Welp even now I think im in my familiar place despite the chaos I went through not really too confident in my faith but I do feel like my mundane life is heading towards the broad path of destruction. Im thinking of preaching to muslims and around mosques but yea im not confident in my knowledge capabilities and muslims can get aggressive.
I have been idolizing having a good body over the Lord. After God told me to quit cross country, I felt really weird doing so but I did anyway. I am now doing better things for God’s sake. I am happy I quit despite the doubts I still face
Definitely an answer to my prayer because I was tempted to go back to the things of the past today. Please pray for me as I choose the Lord and to walk by faith ❤️. Thank you Alex for this amazing message
Brilliant.
thankyou Alex for being the mic.
May God continue to Bless your listeners.
OOF ! 🔥 “is that you, Lord Jesus ?” For me, it is friendships. I grew up w really good friends from my home church but honestly I think he’s showing me that I can’t just depend on them as my only friends but to not be afraid and even desire and be joyful to make new Christian friends - ones that will be edifying and I’ll connect more with. Another one is serving at church. Today, literally, I said “if it’s you God then you will open the doors for me to serve in that capacity” and the door opened like a few hours later . I only want to step out if it’s Jesus calling 🥺❤️
For the last few years God has been calling me out of this fear of acceptance. I feel sometimes I have to act a certain way around people and can't be the true me, the man that God is calling me to be out of fear of rejection. Slowly he's been pulling me out of it but I need to just keep putting my faith in him!
Amen to you and family.I left the regular crowd of friends behind .I was always different to them and they knew it.Nerd to say .lol..
He let me see him so many times in my struggles that I can't deny it.I talk to him all the time.Thanking him for guidance.
God is calling me out of my comfort zone by pushing me to open my art business... It's hard and scary but I try to listen as much as christian talks about faith cause God knows it's hard for me
I feel like ABBA wants me to spread the good news more often. He’s trying to break me out of fear of rejection. Also fearing vulnerability with others.
I'm Brazilian and I confess that I don't really like watching Christian videos in English because I'm more used to Portuguese. But I've been following this channel for years and EVERY time God is telling me to leave my comfort zone or tells me to take a step of faith, TH-cam starts recommending me his videos... every time I see Alex's face on my TH-cam I start to get scared cuz I knows there is something coming haha😂😂
jk Thank you very much Alex, for this and all the videos that are crucial in difficult moments of decision in my life!
This video hit me so hard. I'm a naturally anxious, mistrustful and worrisome person. It's one of my stumbling blocks and I feel like God has been calling to attention this area in my heart that constantly craves control and order. It's difficult for me to surrender to God. One example of this is being a light to my generation. I'm 19 and go to a college that's famous for its progressive and liberal ideals. I lived in fear for the most of my Freshman year because of how alone I felt. I didn't have a Christian community yet that I was able to regulalry keep in touch with, so I was afraid of being isolated and ostracized for my counter-cultural beliefs as a Christian. After reflecting on my silence as a Christian during that first year, I deeply regret not being bolder in my faith and am making it a goal to be completely open about my beliefs as I go into my Sophomore year. I'm tired of being a slave to my fear and people-pleasing tendencies. I'm tired of this horrible shame. Please pray for me, brothers and sisters ♡ I long to grow in my faith and deepen my walk and intimacy with Him.
Currently going on a mission trip, this video could be a sign for something while Im gone. Much appreciated.
This is timely because I am struggling with needing to leave my church and find a new one.
Do it. It's worth it. I've done it recently
My comfort place was an unhealthy relationship I was in for three years. I love the person deeply but for months I felt God telling me I had to let her go… for her sake and for mine. I also felt God calling me to the road and her and I decided we would do it together as a way to mend some wounds. I left my job, sold everything, and moved into a camper trailer living on the road full time… but I still felt God telling me I had to let her go. We separated yesterday. My heart is broken and I have been full of doubt all day, but then this video found me. Oh me of little faith haha. God is still calling me onward on my own. It was him in the beginning and I know it’s him now.
I feel that area in my life is my obedience
To stop investing on others too much and put that effort to better myself
It’s an exciting but I recently left my partner cus I was falling into sin and I thought maybe God wants me alone right now and a few weeks later she lets me know she’s pregnant.
And now we’re back together (she doesn’t believe)
It’s going well still growth being done but I’ve been down thinking is this what I’m called to be
But a man who is double minded is blown about like the waves of the see.
So now it’s just stepping out into fatherhood instead of hiding or running.
And I’ve been well stressed about how am I gonna provide my mrs is from aus I gotta sort out all this stuff for moving and the medical cost down the uk are expensive so yh a tricky one rlly but exciting for sure ❤thank you God bless brother 🤙🤙
Rugs… it’s been hard and it still is. This video speaks right to me. The comfort I feel knowing after all this Jesus still is searching and running after me while im running away. Yet im still letting myself fall deeper not searching for help or even helping myself… living in fear of God not in the way he wants me to fear him. Always thinking the second i step outside theres a target aiming down on me from the sky. Thats not who God is. YHWH is love. The best love and what true love is. But why dont i appreciate that by offering my life to him. I say i wont give up on him but im steady living like i already did. Please pray for me. Appreciate God with your life please. Its tough
My familiar is working 15 years at a renown organization. My familiar is California and feel like I'm being drawn to leave the state. I have it all here, my home cars family and friends. I pray God leads me to those waters!
I want to successfully be able to sustain my family's needs. I kind of copied my pastor's wife's prayer about this. Asked that a job be desirable through His eyes and not distract us from Him.
I guess my familiarity would actually be, the venture ADventure even.
I want the Lord to simply scoop me up give me the feathers to fly where I can be best used, teaching my family you can too.
I think most of my doubts are AM I praying correctly, am I asking for things I don't need? Let me see with Your eyes, sweet Jesus. Let me feel every uneven surface, every pebble on the path You set before me. You do so Great, and I so little. Give me courage and words and patience i ask in Jesus ' name! Heal my inequities
Im stuck in a boat regarding my career path choice. When this video was first posted, I scrolled past it, and the Holy Spirit didn’t let me forget. Days later (today) I had a Bible study with fellow believers, and was told by 2 members, who hadn’t conversed with each other prior, but agreed on the path that they believed I should take, would be appropriate for the Lord and for my demeanor. I’ll pray on it, testing to see if it’s from the Lord or not. Although I’m late to the video, God delivered it on time….Per usual😂💜
Praise God 🔥
you're speaking to me bro. i received a similar word, to leave familiar by faith for His promises. amen
This was spot on for me: I have felt called by The Most High to share the scriptures and the understandings The Holy Spirit has given me, but the struggle is the rejection issues that come with social media especially when you’re actually bringing truth. I am learning what it’s like to have the healthy degrees of separation that you’re speaking on here. Thank you bro
God is telling me to leave familiarity, my brother owns a gym and was paying me to manage it, now things are getting tough, and I'm forced to look for a job, I try to apply at different jobs but it never seems to go my way no matter how great of an interviewee I am.
I'm now starting a powerwashing business and have a crew, but I'm not to sure if that's what God is telling me to do, it's summer but when winter hints idk what to do! But I have faith in Jesus name!
Thank you so much for this timely word! Definitely encouraged. In this season, God hasn’t been calling me to step off the familiarity of my career. Scary but like you said, when we’re chasing after Jesus, we won’t sink.
I was wracking my brain trying to hear where God wants me to do my medical residency. I was in between comfortably doing it in my home country or walking in faith and trying the USMLE and this totally spoke to me. It’s scary and hard but if it’ll ultimately glorify the Lord then I’ll do it
I’ve been big time wrestling with what steps I need to take in life. I want to give my life fully to the Lord and feel as if I have in many ways. I want to serve, but I also have this unrelenting desire in me to travel and evangelize. Please pray for me that the Lord’s Will would be done in my life! I’m ready for big steps of faith, I just don’t know what they look like…
Thanks for this video Alex. I think for me I hear plenty of ways in which Go is calling me to leave familiarity when I read the bible, particularly the book of proverbs. But then I tend to forget it after I’ve read and prayed on it. Perhaps it’s time to start journaling to keep track of progress/ answers to prayer.
This is so relatable! I pray and hope that God will help us remember his Word(surely God will help us, let us have faith and hope in Him!😊). May God bless us and be with us all🥰🥰
I fell like God is telling me to preach the gospel and leave my Familiar ways and Trust more in him and what he has in plan for me to do
this is so on time for me, i feel he'd been calling me to start a Christian blog & this week it finally happened! then i was afraid to go to a church event cuz of my social anxiety but a family member ended up calling me to come & so i went & got to further my relationship with a friend :')
I am New to all this barely learning how to talk to god and read the Bible I am always amazed in how through videos god has talked to me at this moment in my life I feel like god wants me to move out of the state that I am and leave my comfort zone again but this time by my self.
Alex hiiii!!! it's been long since i visited your channel, but God directed me here, in the perfect time, i needed this instruction, these wise words, these are the words to live by,and ... everyday. this is what we call faith. faith , where fear has no hold of us. faith 🍃
Wow! I recently moved states, leaving my family and friends behind! And this message really spoke to me!
God Bless Alex
