Alx James I'm sort of disappointed... we all know this is about the RUclips thing for you guys to get money. This is so wrong... cursing isn't bad for me, it makes videos 10x funnier tbh. Unsubscribing sorry... this is just so obvious that the RUclips ads are taking over. This absolutely sucks.
I'm an atheist but honestly people being so devoted to their religion and trying to spread positivity makes me extremely happy.Religion should be an unity and not an excuse to be hateful towards others.Even though I don't believe in a God,I'm glad that people like you exist to cancel the bad reputation that religion has due to some bigots.
For those of you confused what I meant by "I was saved at 12" it means I read from a scripture from the Bible allowing God in my life! Haha it's hard to explain but google "what does being saved mean in Bible" something should pop up lol
That weight that was trying to stop you from going to church was probably Satan trying go stop you from going. And the reason you went anyway was because God wanted you to hear something or get something out of the service. The Holy Spirit was trying to speak to you and convict you. Glad you fought it off and went!
This video is so inspiring. November 18, 2016, 2:30 am, I woke up from a deep sleep. Long story short, I almost killed myself. I tried so hard. I felt sudden vibrations in my chest, I walked to my kitchen and grabbed some water, and headed back to my room. I kept getting a nudge in my head to pick up my bible. I have never once read my bible. I opened up the Bible randomly to a random page. That page was Jeremiah 29:11, highlighted in yellow. I did not highlight it. To this day I wonder who did. It read that, the Lord had a plan for me and that he will never leave me hanging. From that day, I became a new person. My life changed forever. In two weeks, I am going on a missionary trip with my church for two weeks to texas, and I cannot wait. God saved me that night, and I owe him my life for that. Thank you James, you are an inspiration. I'm crying so hard right now. I'm 18, not the average 18 year old, but an 18 year old that God saved from an overdose. Thank you.
why3ij you are absolutely amazing I love your story and you know that you are doing great helping people like god helped you and just remember they god always had your back and just fallow him and you will be ok 😊😉😇❤️💛💚💙💜💕💝💖✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ☮️ ☮️ ☮️ ☮️ ☮️
can y'all pray for me, my parents haven't gone to church in three years. and i go to sunday school by my self. and i don't know how to talk to my SS teacher about it. and i cry every sunday about it. and my mom is a uber driver and she is always in a bad mood, never feels good, and is always cranky. and i pray for her eery day. i rededicated my life at camp this summer. and Alx, i felt God pull at my heart then, and i cried so herd, my friend that came there with me, we cried our eyes out. and ever since then my faith has grown stronger. but my mom and dads faith has gotten weaker, i can tell b their actions, and our relationship has gotten weaker. so please pray for my family. i didn't know any where else to put this so, i hope its ok to put it here.
Twentyonechemical Panicattacks I'll pray for u and your parents but try to introduce your parents to God and whenever something good happens to them say "God has blessed you!"
Twentyonechemical Panicattacks I'll be praying for you and your family. I'm 24 and have the same problems. I grew up going to church but it felt forced. Then we only went on certain important days then not at all. I didn't feel very interested then but last year my friend started singing in the band at church and I went and cried for the entire time. It's also turned my parents a bit by watching me becoming a bit better, not being hurtful, and really walking the walk and talking the talk. I know it's hard now but please don't give up. Introduce them a bit. A year ago I never thought I'd be where I am now. Mention things like the above comment said. It's okay if you get shut down just keep trying and keep motivated. This is God's job he needs a little of your help but He has this handled completely. Sending love and prayers you way
Twentyonechemical Panicattacks I dedicated my life to Christ about a year and a half ago. I'm on the exact same position as you actually, it's nice to know I'm not alone! I go to church by myself and now take my 2 younger sisters with me, who have now also dedicated themselves to serving our God. Both of my parents have a very weak relationship with God as well and I find it difficult to maintain a good relationship with them. All we can do is pray and show Christ's love for them through us and our actions and words. You plant the seed and let God do his thing... Just like He did for us! I will be in prayer for you and your family. Stay strong in the faith and God bless you!
Savannah Yvette I'm so glad you're still here, we all are here for you, and God loves you so much more than any of us could, just know that! I'll pray for you :)
yeah cause we live in a sinful world and god loves us always, but we dont just go up there and sin whenever we want to cause that makes be further away god and harder to hear him when he wants us to do something and harder to hear him when we pray. Cause he might have something special for you in life but if you cant hear him how are you suposed to do what he said to get to that point. You dont. so thats why its good to try not so sin so that we can be as close as we can to god and we can do what he has for us instored
I feel like this was a testimony.. a message in itself and dude I really needed to hear this, for the past couple months I've been struggling with trying to be what God wants and feeling like I'm doing so much wrong.. I've been trying to find things to do in my life to show him I'm trying but it's so hard being in this world in this flesh and hearing this hearing someone else going through it it makes me feel that much more empowered to take the next step to show him I am listening
God is working in you Alex. He will work in you until God makes you into the person he wants you to. God made that feeling of us missing something in our life's for him to come and fill up that whole missing in your life
This is one of the most needed stories I needed to hear. I am young and I'm scared to accept myself for my sexuality because of my religion. Now I am Christian, I am very loosely Christian. I have always said (before I felt how I feel now about who I love) that even if your gay, why would god send you to a terrible place because you love someone who is like you. But as soon as I started feeling like I like girls and guys, I feel this doubt of being unaccepted. And so I can't accept myself for who I feel I am because I'm scared for myself. And I've been saved twice, one time I was lucky and chose to go to a friends house when on the way back I would've been in a fatal accident. And the other time I had a heat stroke and I saw my body and was being raised up and then my body was turned over and I saw the outline in the clouds/light of a hand and it pushed me back down to my body and I opened my eyes and took a deep breath as someone dipped me in the water. And so I have strong faith even though my doubt might seem over powering. I just wish I could come to conclusion that god will accept me.
I also want to just say thank you to you Alx because you are an inspiration and this video brought me to tears because it's been a very bad couple of months/weeks/nights/even this whole year with a lot of stuff and this truly made me even the slightest bit better. Thank you so much.
This is what I hate when people have used religion to push others away like the LGBT community, I'm gay and am very Christian. There is the movie called "so the Bible tells me so" and it's a very powerful message about why gays ARE accepted in the church and it brings up every bible verse and explains the true meaning behind it. It's a beautiful movie and it's how I found god while still being gay. Please watch it it's a life saver
Thank you all SO MUCH. Reading these replies honestly helped a lot. I might check out the movie, I have a hard time watching them sometimes but I'll give it a shot. Thank you all so much again for sharing your stories and your thoughts. It really does help me and made a difference.
I had such a similar experience when the Preacher could tell someone needed to go to the altar and I started bawling and went up and prayed then so many people kept kneeling behind me and placing their hands on my back and praying over me. They were complete strangers and this sense of peace just came over me. -- the cussing thing is addressed in Ephesians 4:29-- There is no such thing as a perfect Christians and us trying our best is enough for God. He is there for us and he will forgive us when we ask. God knows we can do anything because he has our back. God loves you Alx and everyone else in the world! I'm glad you feel good and feel that God is with you because he is! Love you Alx!
I think I found your videos just now for a reason. Just randomly came across you and clicked through a few videos and I was led here. I don't think this was a mistake. You touch my heart, open my eyes, you have helped me. Thank you for sharing!
I'm really inspired by how open and honest you are about your faith on the internet. It really helps people like myself who are struggling with their faith. Thankyou
People are always under the assumption that if you cuss then you're less sophisticated/intelligent. Words only have the power you give them. Yeah I cuss a lot but I have an expansive vocabulary, so others' opinion of me based on my vocabulary matters very little.
i don't cuss because it's shown as bad, but honestly.. a word is just a word.. i'm pretty confused why everyone thinks some words are so bad when they're just words? idk.
Lauren Brynna words are strong. Words are powerful. Words can be weapons. Words can hurt.... words can heal. Words give love. words give life. Watch your words. 😁
This was such a beautiful story. That feeling when you know that God is truly there is amazing. That feeling inside you that didn't not want you to go to church is like you're in the middle of a tug of war between God and Satan and finally letting God win is so life changing. I enjoy those moments when pastors/people call you out even when you're trying to suppress that deep down you need help. Sometimes you need that pull to get out and receive the prayer you need. Your story made me cry.
I am so proud of you ! Such an amazing way to use your platform and talk about Jesus ! So many people are scared to do this because they're fearful of losing subscribers! God will rain blessings upon you for this ❤
preacher alx james. I'm not Christian per say, but I have a strong belief in God nonetheless. I really appreciate this video. I love you. Good for you.
+Allysa B let people decide what they believe. Maybe the idea of belonging to a religious organisation is off putting to some people who have their own ideas and their own personal faith. I think the world would be a lot healthier if every one was able to believe and not believe freely without having to sign up to a whole religion.
The Lord is up to date! he is using all these famous RUclipsrs to impact other lives!! I'm so proud of you Alx for stepping our in faith to tell your story!! this is a hard thing to do with tons of judgment at you!! I respect you a whole lot more now. God bless you!
I'm the most none religious kind of person on this planet probably, and this video almost brought me to tears. It's not about religion anymore. It's about passion. And you Alex, have a passion for God. And that's such a beautiful thing. I hope to see more people around me and you find their passion. Because that is a wonderful thing ❤️
That feeling you felt is the Holy Spirit! It is an indescribable feeling until you feel it for yourself! Super proud of you and happy for you!! I've been praying for you and I will continue to do so. I love you❤️️
This is great Alx!! 2017 is gonna be great for you since your relationship with God has grown. Your testimony has reminded me of the great things God can do.
I do this and it's rude. I wish I didn't do it because I feel so bad for people but I just laugh. I laugh to the point I cry. I really feel bad but I just laugh. I'm sorry Alx I'm trying not to but I'm laughing. but I'm proud
Sounds of Death don't worry about that at all!! Trust me, it doesn't make sense until you truly allow God to enter your life and ask him to guide you... You feel like a different person...
Alx James your so awesome. at least you get it. I laugh at anything. I hate it its rude but everything is just funny apparently. but I have to say nice story
THANK YOU for sharing this story. There just isn't enough talk about church and the feelings you get when you fall in and out of going and or in and out with God. Absolutely inspiring!
This moved me so much. I've been feeling so lost as well and like I'm not enough. I thought I was all alone and hearing you tell this story really helped me. This seriously brought me to tears. God is on our side and sometimes we forget that. Thank you for reminding me. (: Love you Alx!
I cried watching this video. I love listening to people's stories of meetings with God. Sometime in June, my youth group went to camp. On the second to the last day, the speaker asked if anyone felt called to missions. No one from my youth group stood up, but then we sang "Good Good Father" Chris Tomlin, and I felt like I had to go up there, but I felt glued to the seat, but I stood up and started walking towards the front, but then I felt like I was running towards the alter, where my sister and a few of my friends were there. We stood there and were amazed at how God was working in our lives. It was the best feeling EVER❤❤❤
This really blessed me today. We're all just a bunch of broken people trying to get along in a broken world. I'm so proud of you for going to church despite the internal pressure you felt to stay home. You've encouraged me to do the same.
Omg I needed this so much!!! I too have done a cleanse type thing with the trying to not cuss and everything and it's amazing to hear someone else story about it too!! God bless you!!
Alex the power of Christ is calling you he said before he returned he would give everyone a choice take it the as that how he did me and I surrendered to him I'm glad you made this video everyone repent and ask Jesus Christ in your life before its too late be blessed
really it's never too late. God forgives absolutely so as long as you don't denounce him it's ok. I'm not Christian. I'm not gonna say what I am cause all the negativity I'll get. I respect all religious beliefs so long as no one is getting hurt. No one is truly lost unless they spitefully renounce him. Go on with life and be a good person and all is well.
VixyGirl god says you have as very to repent daily and follow his commandments and do his will and confess with your mouth and believe with heart that's his instructions to enter into his kingdom try him he's awesome be blessed
lauren confess with your mouth and believe in your great Jesus died and rose on the 3rd day follow the commandments and don't sin tithe and do gods will repent and surrender to him he's on his way soon be blessed
lauren it means you allow him to enter your life, allowing Him to work through you with his grace and love and that your life belongs in the hands of our living and loving God who cares for us. reptence each day is just being transparent and admitting to what you've done, how your day was (that's what I like telling Him about ) as simple as having a conversation with Him through prayer, God knows everything, but He wants us to lay it all down to Him (worries, concerns, sins, anything you feel you're struggling with) so He can take on our sin for us as we can't do it alone. :) that's how I like to think about it.
This legit made me cry. I been low key scared to go to church and start prayin and stuff but this video made me start rethinking that and i wanna try and start gettin right with the lord again. Thank you alex for sharin this with us because it truly inspired and spoke to me❤️😊
I find it remarkable when someone is cuss free. It's rare to find someone who doesn't cuss. Kudos on your personal choice that makes YOU feel better. God bless.
Social Aniexty will weight you down so much & keep you from life ! To me that is what my weight on my chest is . & when you said that "what do these people me to you" NOTHING ! Don't let stares & looks stop you from doing what you need to do . I'm glad you got up from that seat & took your ass to that alter ! I'm glad you got some peace out of it !
This is the most powerful thing I've heard, better than any preacher, pastor, priest or any sermon. Thank you Alx, it really gives me a warm feeling and wants me to never lose my faith.
I have never loved a RUclipsr more. You are such a light and using social media for so much good! I know what you're feeling and how you felt because it's exactly what I've been feeling. You are being an amazing disciple and I will forever be a fan of you and your work! God bless you Alex James and your beautiful soul!
I'm not even religious, but this spoke to me. I used to go to church when I was younger and I would cry when the pastor was speaking because every single word he said spoke to my soul.
This makes me glad to be religious because most people(some youtubers) these days are like "I don't believe in religion" but I'm glad to see someone I can relate to very well be so moved by god, also like me.
you have no idea how badly i needed to see this video. I have strayed from the path and have been feeling lost and this video made me cry so much thank you for posting this.
Alex, I have enjoyed this video the most out of everything you have done. I see the peace that you are talking about and it's inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that I'm currently questioning my sexuality and am Christian is so hard for me right now. It makes me scared and I really do love god I really do!!😭 I just hope I am still accepted because I tell y'all what I do sin just like Alx said, we all do but I'm so happy that there are other people out here that all believe the same thing(well most of the same thing) and are here for the same thing💖LOVE THE WATERBUG ARMY
xx.Band_lover.xx God loves you no matter what you do. His love is always attached to you and there's NOTHING at all that you can do to remove it. No matter what you do, He stills sees you as His child. He will never give up on you. ❤
xx.Band_lover.xx I believe everyone has a tendency to be more apt to one sin than another, as one may struggle/have an addiction to alcohol while someone else could easily live without it. I will pray for you, remember that Jesus will take on your sin for you ❤ pray about it, nothing can ever separate us from the love of God, but it's okay to struggle about this thing that you feel is overcoming you. cast all your worries and cares on Him ❤ "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me;" Psalms 23:1-4... in my eyes the fact that you are struggling proves that the Holy Spirit is fighting for you.. :) you are precious and loved, no matter what.
jesus hung out with those who were considered to be "full of sin" and loved everyone equal, so i think he'd want you to be happy and be yourself. god made you just who you are, and whatever you decide, god will still love you. be free
xx.Band_lover.xx God will love you and accept you no matter what your sexuality! I know there's those christians/believers that condemn LGBT, but honestly, God really doesn't care. He just wants your heart and wants to be in your life! :)
Love you guys ❤💪🏻

Praying for you :)
Savannah Yvette I am glad it did
Sweet Alx, you are enough. God loves us where we are, not where we should be. ♡
God still doesnt like sin though.
xXNoah DixonXx He loves us in spite of our sin. We all fall short of the Glory of God daily.
yeah cause we live in a sinful world and god loves us always, but we dont just go up there and sin whenever we want to cause that makes be further away god and harder to hear him when he wants us to do something and harder to hear him when we pray. Cause he might have something special for you in life but if you cant hear him how are you suposed to do what he said to get to that point. You dont. so thats why its good to try not so sin so that we can be as close as we can to god and we can do what he has for us instored
Heather Hanna thank you
you're helping so many people with this video. whether you see this or not, just need to put that out there. i'm praying for you.
I feel like this was a testimony.. a message in itself and dude I really needed to hear this, for the past couple months I've been struggling with trying to be what God wants and feeling like I'm doing so much wrong.. I've been trying to find things to do in my life to show him I'm trying but it's so hard being in this world in this flesh and hearing this hearing someone else going through it it makes me feel that much more empowered to take the next step to show him I am listening
So honestly thank you I appreciate it

This is my FAVORITE Alx James video!
I'm so proud of you for letting God work in your life and trying to become more like him. ❤❤
I have experienced that weight before on the day I was saved.
I had such a similar experience when the Preacher could tell someone needed to go to the altar and I started bawling and went up and prayed then so many people kept kneeling behind me and placing their hands on my back and praying over me. They were complete strangers and this sense of peace just came over me. -- the cussing thing is addressed in Ephesians 4:29-- There is no such thing as a perfect Christians and us trying our best is enough for God. He is there for us and he will forgive us when we ask. God knows we can do anything because he has our back. God loves you Alx and everyone else in the world! I'm glad you feel good and feel that God is with you because he is! Love you Alx!
AMEN! Madi Konet
what the hell is this...
This video brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing, Alx. Much love being sent your way.
Also, I love having longer videos of you to watch. ❤️
I don't cuss but I'm going to miss when you do it
but I still completely support you
I think I found your videos just now for a reason. Just randomly came across you and clicked through a few videos and I was led here. I don't think this was a mistake. You touch my heart, open my eyes, you have helped me. Thank you for sharing!
ME too!
Same!!! X
"I feel like I'm not enough for God" I burst into tears. I've never related to something so much in my life!! I needed this video!!
Oh my god i could never stop cussing.. i know it's bad.. but seriously.
I freaking love you soo soo much but now I can show my mom even more of your awesome videos with out being like like... Yeah...ummmm....yep lol😅😂😂
Andy Black preach
Yasss now I can show my great grandmother your videos 💕
Wis & Bridget I'll sub if you sub (((:
omg u met shane lucky!!
Lauren Hawkins same XDD
God is working through you.
I'm really inspired by how open and honest you are about your faith on the internet. It really helps people like myself who are struggling with their faith. Thankyou
HIM CUSSING IS WHAT LOWKEY MAKES HIM FUNNY
no hes funny no matter what
People are always under the assumption that if you cuss then you're less sophisticated/intelligent. Words only have the power you give them. Yeah I cuss a lot but I have an expansive vocabulary, so others' opinion of me based on my vocabulary matters very little.
Andrea Torres Same
Andrea Torres Same. This needed to be said.
I don't think that's what Alx meant. Like he said he wanted to show God that he's trying. But that's his life. You choose for your own life.
Plamedie Ifasso of course! I wasn't suggesting that Alex meant it that way, I was referring to people in general
i don't think anybody expressed that about people who cuss??? but okay. Alx did it for God not because he wanted to seem more intelligent to others😂
i don't cuss because it's shown as bad, but honestly.. a word is just a word.. i'm pretty confused why everyone thinks some words are so bad when they're just words? idk.
Lauren Brynna words are strong. Words are powerful. Words can be weapons. Words can hurt.... words can heal. Words give love. words give life. Watch your words. 😁
prince eliel yes mam😁preach about them words💁🏽
prince eliel Words are only offensive if you let them be
Lauren Brynna bad words are bad words because the devil said those words to speak negatively against christ
Abnellys Roca i don't fuck with religion.. words are words kid
This was such a beautiful story. That feeling when you know that God is truly there is amazing. That feeling inside you that didn't not want you to go to church is like you're in the middle of a tug of war between God and Satan and finally letting God win is so life changing. I enjoy those moments when pastors/people call you out even when you're trying to suppress that deep down you need help. Sometimes you need that pull to get out and receive the prayer you need. Your story made me cry.
thank you for sharing this. it gave me goosebumps.
Am I the only one who started crying when he did? 😭
God works in mysterious ways doesn't he? It's amazing
First thought: Pshhh Alx and his clickbait
Second thought: Oh Shi- I mean shoot
Alx is me when ever there's a alter call at my church 😂😂
Laia Johnsom same 😂😂
Laia Johnsom sameee 😂😂
SAMMEEEEEEE Y'ALL!!!
Me too but my church has a prayer group at the end
I am so proud of you ! Such an amazing way to use your platform and talk about Jesus ! So many people are scared to do this because they're fearful of losing subscribers! God will rain blessings upon you for this ❤
He did it...He put it into words. This is exactly how I feel. Thank you for sharing Alx ❤
You made me cry😭 I'm so happy that you finally found peace💕
preacher alx james. I'm not Christian per say, but I have a strong belief in God nonetheless. I really appreciate this video. I love you. Good for you.
Cassiopeia if you believe in God and believe that Jesus is the Messiah then your The Christian!❤✝️
+Allysa B let people decide what they believe. Maybe the idea of belonging to a religious organisation is off putting to some people who have their own ideas and their own personal faith. I think the world would be a lot healthier if every one was able to believe and not believe freely without having to sign up to a whole religion.
i know that, but I am not Christian
Ian Chamberlin at least you understand!
Ian Chamberlin Muslim religious has Allah as there "god". What she could be is nondenomination.
Alex, this video touched my life more than any other video you ever made
The Lord is up to date! he is using all these famous RUclipsrs to impact other lives!! I'm so proud of you Alx for stepping our in faith to tell your story!! this is a hard thing to do with tons of judgment at you!! I respect you a whole lot more now. God bless you!
God will always be there for you Alx. Hes here for me and he works wonders
The lord said you better stop with that cussing lol praise the lord 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The power of god is amazing!! I love this and I'm so glad to see you on this part of your journey Alx!!!
when you can't explain how you felt that means it was a true God moment
Happy for you Alx 😄but I'm going to miss you screaming "Bitch!!" 😂😂
I'm the most none religious kind of person on this planet probably, and this video almost brought me to tears. It's not about religion anymore. It's about passion. And you Alex, have a passion for God. And that's such a beautiful thing. I hope to see more people around me and you find their passion. Because that is a wonderful thing ❤️
When you started crying I literally started crying and I'm not even joking
Alx, you're making me tear up. I hope you find what you're looking for within the church.
this saved me ❤❤
Angelina Bush I'm so glad you are here and so is God. He loves you so much and all He wants is for you to be happy and feel that!
I'm so happy you shared this. I really enjoy seeing the religious side of you because it's so real and genuine. Keep doing you! Proud of you.
This is the sweetest, most meaningful, genuine thing I have seen on RUclips in a long time. Thank you Alex. This is so awesome.
Yes ma'am ! Ugh brought me to tears ! I love you and I will be praying for you !!!
Noooo you made me cry! I'm sharing this to my friends who need to see an LGBT person feeling touched by god!
*Your the reason i started RUclips! look at where my channel is fr thank you cause without you i would have never started*
:)
subbed
Luke O'Connor dont, this twat has been copying and pasting on random channels i saw him on ricky's >:( 😔😔😔
That feeling you felt is the Holy Spirit! It is an indescribable feeling until you feel it for yourself! Super proud of you and happy for you!! I've been praying for you and I will continue to do so. I love you❤️️
This is great Alx!! 2017 is gonna be great for you since your relationship with God has grown. Your testimony has reminded me of the great things God can do.
I do this and it's rude. I wish I didn't do it because I feel so bad for people but I just laugh. I laugh to the point I cry. I really feel bad but I just laugh. I'm sorry Alx I'm trying not to but I'm laughing. but I'm proud
Sounds of Death don't worry about that at all!! Trust me, it doesn't make sense until you truly allow God to enter your life and ask him to guide you...
You feel like a different person...
+Alx James Loved your story 👏👏🙌, never give up 😊!
Alx James your so awesome. at least you get it. I laugh at anything. I hate it its rude but everything is just funny apparently. but I have to say nice story
That little voice was Satan trying to deceive you 😴 I'm very proud of you Alx 💗❤️️💗❤️️💗
Everyone that goes to church hates going to church late.
THANK YOU for sharing this story. There just isn't enough talk about church and the feelings you get when you fall in and out of going and or in and out with God. Absolutely inspiring!
I know that peace, and just seeing that same peace reflected in you, moved me to tears.
What a great way to use your platform. Good for you Alx.
This moved me so much. I've been feeling so lost as well and like I'm not enough. I thought I was all alone and hearing you tell this story really helped me. This seriously brought me to tears. God is on our side and sometimes we forget that. Thank you for reminding me. (: Love you Alx!
everybody still loves you alx and ill be praying
I cried watching this video. I love listening to people's stories of meetings with God. Sometime in June, my youth group went to camp. On the second to the last day, the speaker asked if anyone felt called to missions. No one from my youth group stood up, but then we sang "Good Good Father" Chris Tomlin, and I felt like I had to go up there, but I felt glued to the seat, but I stood up and started walking towards the front, but then I felt like I was running towards the alter, where my sister and a few of my friends were there. We stood there and were amazed at how God was working in our lives. It was the best feeling EVER❤❤❤
This really blessed me today. We're all just a bunch of broken people trying to get along in a broken world. I'm so proud of you for going to church despite the internal pressure you felt to stay home. You've encouraged me to do the same.
I'm not cussing anymore
*buys a hello bitches door mat*
Wow, best video I've watched on RUclips in a long time ❤️
I think this is the best And realist video Alx has and will ever do !!! Loved it
Omg I needed this so much!!! I too have done a cleanse type thing with the trying to not cuss and everything and it's amazing to hear someone else story about it too!! God bless you!!
Jordan Stevens northpoint.org/
I'm crying right now because I'm realating to him in a way I can't discribe and I just Broke down when he started talking about his feelings.😢
I have cold chills! God is good! Bless you Alx
Alex the power of Christ is calling you he said before he returned he would give everyone a choice take it the as that how he did me and I surrendered to him I'm glad you made this video everyone repent and ask Jesus Christ in your life before its too late be blessed
really it's never too late. God forgives absolutely so as long as you don't denounce him it's ok. I'm not Christian. I'm not gonna say what I am cause all the negativity I'll get. I respect all religious beliefs so long as no one is getting hurt. No one is truly lost unless they spitefully renounce him. Go on with life and be a good person and all is well.
Mr._Splash_Man$ ok no that sounds sketchy af u "surrendered" ur self to "him" ? what does that even mean ?
VixyGirl god says you have as very to repent daily and follow his commandments and do his will and confess with your mouth and believe with heart that's his instructions to enter into his kingdom try him he's awesome be blessed
lauren confess with your mouth and believe in your great Jesus died and rose on the 3rd day follow the commandments and don't sin tithe and do gods will repent and surrender to him he's on his way soon be blessed
lauren it means you allow him to enter your life, allowing Him to work through you with his grace and love and that your life belongs in the hands of our living and loving God who cares for us. reptence each day is just being transparent and admitting to what you've done, how your day was (that's what I like telling Him about ) as simple as having a conversation with Him through prayer, God knows everything, but He wants us to lay it all down to Him (worries, concerns, sins, anything you feel you're struggling with) so He can take on our sin for us as we can't do it alone. :) that's how I like to think about it.
What about Sheedra!?
Neko she got run over by a bus 🚌
Neko tru
I don't think you know how much I needed this right now... thank you for sharing ...
This legit made me cry. I been low key scared to go to church and start prayin and stuff but this video made me start rethinking that and i wanna try and start gettin right with the lord again. Thank you alex for sharin this with us because it truly inspired and spoke to me❤️😊
I am glad for you Alx. God bless you.
Praise Jesus!!🙏🙌 You had me crying 😭!!
this story gave me goosebumps.
I find it remarkable when someone is cuss free. It's rare to find someone who doesn't cuss. Kudos on your personal choice that makes YOU feel better. God bless.
I love this video alx I actually cried it was so touching I know how you feel when you said you felt at peace and a weight was lifted off. Amen 🙏🏼
Social Aniexty will weight you down so much & keep you from life ! To me that is what my weight on my chest is . & when you said that "what do these people me to you" NOTHING ! Don't let stares & looks stop you from doing what you need to do . I'm glad you got up from that seat & took your ass to that alter ! I'm glad you got some peace out of it !
why would people be so unsupportive of someone not cussing anymore wow.
God is good. God is great
I relate with 100% of this! That feeling of hearing that still small whisper always takes me by surprise! Love you Alx!
This is the most powerful thing I've heard, better than any preacher, pastor, priest or any sermon. Thank you Alx, it really gives me a warm feeling and wants me to never lose my faith.
U should start church with alx😩😊
this was asking you made me realize I need to keep going and trying to not sin I no I can't fully stop but I'm going to try
thank you
You are truly an inspiration! And this was exactly what I needed in my life right now!
I have never loved a RUclipsr more. You are such a light and using social media for so much good! I know what you're feeling and how you felt because it's exactly what I've been feeling. You are being an amazing disciple and I will forever be a fan of you and your work! God bless you Alex James and your beautiful soul!
I'm not even religious, but this spoke to me. I used to go to church when I was younger and I would cry when the pastor was speaking because every single word he said spoke to my soul.
first I thought this was a prank at first😑😥😣
This makes me glad to be religious because most people(some youtubers) these days are like "I don't believe in religion" but I'm glad to see someone I can relate to very well be so moved by god, also like me.
you have no idea how badly i needed to see this video. I have strayed from the path and have been feeling lost and this video made me cry so much thank you for posting this.
Alex, I have enjoyed this video the most out of everything you have done. I see the peace that you are talking about and it's inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that I'm currently questioning my sexuality and am Christian is so hard for me right now. It makes me scared and I really do love god I really do!!😭 I just hope I am still accepted because I tell y'all what I do sin just like Alx said, we all do but I'm so happy that there are other people out here that all believe the same thing(well most of the same thing) and are here for the same thing💖LOVE THE WATERBUG ARMY
xx.Band_lover.xx God loves you no matter what you do. His love is always attached to you and there's NOTHING at all that you can do to remove it. No matter what you do, He stills sees you as His child. He will never give up on you. ❤
xx.Band_lover.xx I believe everyone has a tendency to be more apt to one sin than another, as one may struggle/have an addiction to alcohol while someone else could easily live without it. I will pray for you, remember that Jesus will take on your sin for you ❤ pray about it, nothing can ever separate us from the love of God, but it's okay to struggle about this thing that you feel is overcoming you. cast all your worries and cares on Him ❤ "The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;" Psalms 23:1-4... in my eyes the fact that you are struggling proves that the Holy Spirit is fighting for you.. :) you are precious and loved, no matter what.
jesus hung out with those who were considered to be "full of sin" and loved everyone equal, so i think he'd want you to be happy and be yourself. god made you just who you are, and whatever you decide, god will still love you. be free
blindxfaith we are all full of sin, we're tainted with it :p
xx.Band_lover.xx God will love you and accept you no matter what your sexuality! I know there's those christians/believers that condemn LGBT, but honestly, God really doesn't care. He just wants your heart and wants to be in your life! :)
