Give me strength Lord Jesus. I’m struggling providing for my children. I will keep faith. I have two beautiful boys both have special needs. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets with my boys. Lord restore my faith. I’m so tired Lord Jesus of constantly struggling to pay bills and struggling to buy groceries. Ashamed because I’m failing as a mother. Please Lord continue to give me strength.❤️
Keep your faith even when times get hard my mom is struggling to raise me and my sister and as two teenage girls going through high school it’s tough. This account may look like I am a guy but this is my dad’s old account I took it over. But anyway Jesus sees you
The Lord will always provide, trust in our father and never let go of hope in him. Remember who you are and don't let any problems dictate who you are, your a child of God and you will overcome.
Praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying for you 🙏
The Lord gave you those beautiful boys and he will take care of them,keep your faith and stay rooted. The Lord has not forgotten you.
Pray for me in my battle of lust and pornography which i sadly have to experience every day as a teen. please i beg you.
I've been there brother. Get blockers on your technology. Get an accountability partner so you cannot remove those blockers. This can be an elder in your church, a close friend, a male family member. Look yourself in the mirror and make this change.
I’m a teen too bro I’m 17 and I’m 4 months clean :). Literally just repent truly and surrender to Jesus. I had a cussing problem too and as soon as I got saved, Jesus took those two and more away in the blink of an eye. Just pray, pray, and pray bro. God bless.
Praying for you, been there, truly the key r having deep relationship with God and stop fighting the temptation but run, run away from that
“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”
1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 4:15-16 ESV
Both of these verses prove this: that we all will deal with temptation (this is no sin). But in times that we do face temptation, we have been given a way out! To understand how, we look at Christ. He understands us fully, being tempted in every regard as we are. The verse above gives us the key on how to beat temptation when it says: “draw near to the throne of God that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need”. Whenever temptation comes, understand this: you have been given authority to overcome it, not in your flesh, but because of He who is in you, who has overcome the world! And two, that you MUST go to the Lord. Shame and guilt are of the devil, for we know that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ (Roman’s 8:1). The Lord wants you to come to Him, you are His child in need! He will never leave you how He found you, for we know that those who come to Christ are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). From personal experience, you must remain hopeful that you can be set free. If your mindset is that you are still in chains, you will not be able to walk in freedom. But of course, we know that because of Christ, we have been made free brother!!🥳😁🙏🏼 May the Lord bless you!
I typed this out already but it deleted 🤨 maybe it’s just on my side of the screen but I typed it again LOL
“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 4:15-16 ESV
From these verses, we can gather these things: that although all of us will deal with temptation, we will be given a way out! Not only that, but no temptation will be too powerful to overcome us! This is because of He who is in us, who has overcome the world: “Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 ESV In order to understand how to escape, turn to Christ, who is understanding of our temptation because He too was tempted in every regard. The key is in the verse above, which says: “ draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in a time of need”. To overcome temptation, we must flee into the Lord! Meet Him at the throne that He would give you the mercy and grace to help you. We know that feelings of guilt and shame that prevent us from coming to the Lord are not of Him, for it says in His Word that “there is no therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). You are His child in need! He will never leave you how He found you, for we know that once you are in Christ, you are a new creation: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17. I understand where you are, and from experience can say that you MUST remain hopeful (especially in Christ), that you are freed. If you remain believing that you are chained to this habit, it will be harder to walk in freedom. Adopt the mindset that you have been made free!!! (Because you have been😙). May the Lord bless you brother!!🙏🏼
Im a prodigal, ive lost my way, ive turned my back on Jesus. Im addicted to porn, depressed, and anxious. I dont know what to do, i miss Jesus and i feel so alone. I dont have him in my heart anymore and i want him here with me..
Then go back brother, He's always there waiting for you. He's not surprised or disgusted by you, because He says that all have sinned and fall short.
Hey brother I was there too. What you have to do is learn to let go of the sin instead of fight it. Theres still a part of you that wants it, so you have to let go and literally fall back on jesus. Maybe what you let go of is your phone or tv, maybe some friends that are influencing you badly. Jesus tells us not to worry about what the future will bring because he is in control. So dont worry about whats going to happen if you arent always on your phone or what people will say to you if you're trying to change because at the end of the day its just a distraction. I hope these words help.
I felt like that too man, stay strong, repent and just talk to Him like a friend, that helped me a lot.
I’m praying for you. Ask God to reveal Himself to you, there’s a way out and his name is Jesus
I was there too but he has restored me and gave me life
proud vs pleased is so deep. Thank you Alex & Lokelani for your faithfulness!!!
Nothing to add and yet so much I’ve gained here while listening. I find myself not enjoying life when others want me to do what they want and be who they think I should be and not accepting me for the person that I am in this day. Because I have the joy of the Lord they think and see me as less (I think) than I was previously.
Thank you ABBA for all that you have been doing in my life, thank you Elohim for always going before me in my career path, at my work and in my life ❤️❤️❤️ in Jesus Name, Hallelujah
Every one of my prayer requests is about to manifest in the Name of Jesus I receive and connect with this message in Jesus' mighty Name, Amen.
I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in life until 30k bi-weekly began rolling in and my life went from a homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer.
Hello, how do you make such an amount monthly?
I'm a born again Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself🤦🏼 because of low finance but I still
believe in God.
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Thanks to my co-worker whom God used to give a great opportunity of crossing paths with 'Mrs Caroline Hyde Barry'.
“I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:12-13
What you said at 28:33 resonates with what Paul says here.
Amén. Finding happiness in the Lord is the main priority
God is faithful, and He will not let you be tested beyond your strength.
This is helping me work on my vocabulary. Pray for me this journey is hard as I work on getting closer to our Yahweh
Idk how things are with you mate, but about works, for me i was really struggling with how insufficient my works were for trying to get me closer to God and He showed me how we need to just trust in Him and in His finished work on the cross, and rest in that! Then when we're trusting in Jesus Christ and Him crucified the works come as the fruit of that!
just came upon your channel. This sermon was like it says to eat well, a Tbone steak with a lot of awesome sauce on it.. Nehemiah 8:10 is my favorite verse...thank you for this wonderful sermon...blessings to you and your familly..
Thank you God for the wisdom and joy you shared with all of us in this message. 😊
Thank you for using Alex to draw us closer to your holy spirit and kingdom!
I appreciate you speaking on nihilism. (One of very many different ways the enemy tries to confuse and destroy us all)
May your podcast keep reaching more and more souls, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen✨
THIS SERMON WAS AMAZING. I really thank Jesus for this … I am shocked how much I compared so much to this.
I have been encouraged by your sermons, thank you
Really glad this video was recommended to me. I was mainly watching travel videos, which is why it's a surprise that this popped up on my recommended feed. I was trying to get back to the Christian life. My dad is a senior pastor for as long as I can remember, I basically grew up in church. I got tired of it and moved on with my life without God. Recently, I've been trying to get back to reading Bible, but I was never able to. This is the closest I can get to reading Bible atm. I just wanna go up to the mountains while playing this video in the background. I would like to request to please do a podcast where you converse with another person talking about Christian life. I kept saying "Christian life" but what I really meant is that I want to grow spiritually again and be actually born again this time. I also want to hear you explore the stoicism philosophy and how that affects the Christian life, for better or worse.
This arrived at the perfect time. I really needed this today. Thank you 😊
Powerful word mate. Praise God!

*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
@Jerryy234 It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus

Hey Alex thank you for the knowledge. I have a request , it would be nice if you recommend a few books to read in the Bible that go with your videos✝️

"You getting a good job, more followers, more money, a house, whatever it is that you really want on Earth right now, getting married, whatever it is, what you're actually looking for in it is immortality"
That hit hard
Thank you Alex for this great word of God. I was with you until the Rosa parks analogy. I get the context in when you used it, but more research around the true reason in why she was chosen to remain in her seat would be useful. God Bless
What to do if i get unjustis situation and judgment? Or my toutghs being replaced, also all kind of voices and wishpers i hear. I wana heal and get ridd of my sins, lust, angrynes, foolishnes and what i doing is that i seek kingdom of haven and do it.
