    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🙏

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.

      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 👊 ❤

    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.

    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!

    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.

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 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 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.

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.

    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!

    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 💕

    Omg I just had this conversation this morning with my mom. And I’ve been talking about leaving the familiar for weeks because I believe God is asking me to do this but I’m not quite sure so I’m asking for clarity. Anywho, message received. Thank you, Alex ❤❤

    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!

    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 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 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

    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. ❤️

Spread the Gospel, and see his creation even more.

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.

    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 🥺❤️

    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 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 ❤

    Awesome Scripture choice!!!
    Walking by Faith is walking on water. We shut off our peanut brain and surrender to His Command, His Direction, His Voice, HIS FAITH!!!!
    My situation is that I have been isolated a long time and I am ready to go but I haven't been given the exact time and location.
    I do not fear because it's HIS Purpose for me; He will provide. I am His Ambassador and I am not living for my dreams or goals; I am surrendered to the Holy Spirit so God will live HIS Purposes and Power through me.

    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😂💜
