Praying the lord will send you a girlfriend & future wife who shares the same desires as you do Alwyn & you can both be in ministry together,the love of the lord radiates from you the lord will give you the desires of your heart God bless you as you minister for him & remember there are thousands praying for you 🙏
This makes total sense. I’m a woman and every day it’s me and Jesus! I thought I would be married by now, but it turned out totally differently! I too am doing it alone . Jeremiah 29:11 all day, everyday! His is faithfuls! That’s my King!
being called is a lonely life, I was called to leave the UK and go to Colombia, some days I think about what my friends ad family are doing and some days I am happy to be with God, it feels right and now I cannot imagine not being alone and having my 1-2-1 with God as much as it is difficult at times, its something I love
Hey sis…, I left everything behind two years ago to step into my calling as a travelling evangelist and now street preacher. I’m in the U.S.A for the 3rd time, New York City right now where I’ve been for 2 months…, I’ve been seeing Columbia ALOT and wondered if the Holy Spirit was directing me there also!!! I have to be out of America by 2/9/24…, what are you doing in Columbia and what visa did you get over there with ? I have no idea where the Lord is sending me in September, I’m in a time of prayer and fasting right now but it would be great to connect with a sis from my home country ❤
There's no turning back. When I think about what Jesus did for me, I can't turn back. It's still very hard, and can be lonely. But God, I have your perfect peace, something I never had in all my life. Thank you Lord, Father God.
❤️ He must increase, and we must decrease. Decreasing isn’t always easy. Persevere, Alwyn. If you lay your dreams down at the cross, your dreams are in the most perfect place they can be for redemption and restoration. He promises to restore the years the locusts and cankerworms have destroyed. God bless you with peace and purpose as you wait for your day of resurrection. Keep working for Jesus. You will see that He’s going to restore exceedingly, abundantly above all you’ve ever hoped for or imagined. Keep your eyes on the Eastern skies. Be blessed beyond measure. 🙏
Amen, Emily, Yes, Alwyn, when talking with my son about this, he said the same. Pray for FULL restoration. For FULL return on what has been stolen. God has been speaking this to him about his life, too. Reclaim what has been lost/stolen.
Recently I surrendered my husband's salvation 💯% to the Lord and I also surrendered the "I will only be happy and satisfied once he gets saved by the Lord!" My desires for his salvation became an idolatry in my life. I also had healing as an idolatry; that I would only be happy once the pains in my body that limit activity are gone leave/get healed and delivered from. I also let that go. I also accepted my calling is intimacy with the Lord, to do His will in each and every moment and let go of any idolatry I have with knowing what God's plans are for me and for the ministry calling!!!❤ Yes, there are costs and myfaith has been tested! All of my family members are unbelievers (except one aunt), my family of origin are deceased and that getslonely sometimes. I am called to lay down even more to say yes 100% for the Lord's work. Even willing to let go of having a "retirement plan" or "home ownership" and come fully to you Lord loving you with all (ALL) of my heart, mind, soul and strength ❤❤❤ Bless you Alwyn from 🇨🇦🙏
I have also surrendered my spouses salvation to the Lord as mine had also become an idol and the Lord revealed it to me. I am about 5 years in to the spiritually single life and I know others who have been standing for their spouses for decades. At times it can feel extremely lonely but I know the burden of his salvation is not on me and I am free to enjoy my God journey without shame. It’s a hard road to walk but we can do ALL things through Christ. Believing with you ❤
And you gonna be silenced very soon by impersonating the Name my Father gave me, to allow yourself telling my story in your wicked way to profane His Assets. Then you shall be as the same as those who sentenced by me 2 days ago: to be wiped away all together for the abomination you did, that was attempting to turn the Name of Holiness into dung, as if the dung you eventually become. It's alright. You are to eat it, your own dung, very soon. Just a day or two. Ok? Enjoy, you children of wickedness! The Rod to Curse, Ω.
@@traciwoodall3833Lying tongue like you there are a bunch! Prepare to join together with the evil impersonator above and silenced together, ok? You are friends of each other, so be together, as living as well as turning into stone, ok? Enjoy yourself, you children of iniquity! The Rod to Curse, Ω.
I remember some time after getting married and felt so strongly to get off birth control. I felt called to be a mother. I have 4 children ages 17 down to 12. I am raising them up in the Lord and praying He uses them mightily! I do feel like the Lord has more in store for my life still and I believe there is nothing that will compare. I am learning to trust Him and lay down my desires for His plan. Thanks Alwyn for sharing your heart. Thanks for being real and reminding us that there is sacrifice so we don't talk ourselves out of God's best when it gets hard. Bless you brother! Enjoy the beach :) We would have been there the end of June in Maryland but my daughter broke her arm in school so we postponed it until August. Love the beach! But we are making the most of our time at home right now. Prayers for your travels and for reaching many souls for Christ. You are so strong in Him! Take care.
She will come at the right time, and she will inspire you to always say Yes to Jesus, whatever the cost... 🩵 There is nothing we can do... we are soldiers for His Kingdom... 🙏🕊🙏🔥 Not by might nor by power but by His Spirit ❤️🔥 He died for us so that we can live eternally 🔥🕊🤍
Amen and Amen!!! In 2009 Father God told me I was to contend for The Kingdom of Heaven. And since this Kingdom is within us I needed to contend with my own walk with Father. And it has cost me, but Jesus filled the "vacancies" left by my gradual shedding of self. We are to approach this Kingdom like a child, which means you approach this Kingdom without preconceived notions. I had to shed my "religion", which brought me into conflict with my four elder siblings and their spouses.
Hi, Brother Alwyn, When we, left the place where we lived all our lives to come to Utah, I had not realized the cost of leaving everyone and everything we ever knew. I guess, I hadn't realized until about 4 yrs later, the cost of it or how much this really HAD BEEN His path. Because I hadn't fully known that this was HIS PLAN, the cost of it didn't reveal itself immediately. You are spot on. Right after I watched this, I heard the spirit quote 1 Cor 2. It seemed it was for you, too, regarding your own heart: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit."
Hi, Carol, Don’t you love Alwyn? Great message to him… That Scripture came to me in a Tender Mercy Mini-Miracle several Years Ago. I had Journaled for many Hours one Day, spilling my heart. I ended w/ that very Scripture that I included at the end of my entry. Then, I wanted to relax & took a Long while cruising Net-Flix Movies & finally settled upon one, entitled, “Coffee Shop!” Toward the end, an Old man in a Wheel Chair pulled out a piece of Paper, fm. his Scriptures where this Young Woman’s Mother had visited him in the Hospital after his accident & Gave him that Scripture! Yet, the Mom, herself had died some years prior! Again, I had just written it out in my Journal, & had never before, spent 1/2Hr. to choose a movie! This Tender Mercy, I hadn’t thought of for some years! Holy Father, knew that I really needed your Reminder! Where are you in Utah? I’m in Provo! I’d Love a meet-Up sometime! ☀️🕊🍃
God bless you Alwyn for being obedient to the Lord. We love you and are praying for you! You are right! God is RAISING UP AN ARMY IN THESE LAST DAYS. Please pray for clarity for me on what he wants me to do. I left a dangerous and abusive situation and moved nearly 400 miles to start over. My daughter and I are safe now, which I am very thankful to God for rescuing us! But I KNOW he is calling me to do more. Time is so short! I need direction. Thanks anyone for your prayers! ❤ Lori and Elina.
I can’t help but feel that not answering the call is a much greater cost. I think we must not count the cost. If we don’t answer the call, we may end up like Jonah in the whale, and he had to answer the call anyway! Following the call is an honour and a privilege, nothing in life is easy.
I look at the 12 Apostles answering the call, most of them not married, and they all sacrificed their lives! And they chose to stay and follow. It’s not easy but it will be all worth it to hear in the end : “ well done good and faithful servant “ wow!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you, Alwyn, for the inspiration and real talk of walking your faith and calling from the Lord Jesus. I'm praying to do the same. God bless you in your ministry, that you bear much fruit and continue to rejoice in it. Amen!
Trust me Alwyn, I know that it is not easy even when one doesn't have as great ministry as you have. For me it was very very hard to stay in a bad marriage for 40 years. If i didn't love the Lord with all my heart I would left long time ago. But i did endure, and after all God took him, and i am relieved. We have to follow the Lord because we love Him more than we love our life. God bless you.
1:30 I know what that feels like. I’m 33 years old and for the past 10 years I have traveled all over all alone trying to play pro basketball. Still looking for a team. But I know what it’s like to travel alone. You are never alone. God is always with you. God bless Alwyn. You are right there is a cost. I lost all the people that I thought really supported me and were my friends. Luckily, I do have my family, but even they are sick of helping me pursue this dream and I have to find me outside of my family.
Dear blackout, Sacrifices come at a price but you will never stop pursuing a dream that you have unless an answer comes from God too, if he's with u on this Dream ans supports u than that is all u need and I pray God is with u and u fulfill it. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 ❤😊
Thank you for your candor in this message. My single Christian friends and I discuss this all the time: make no mistakes--truly following Christ WILL cost you. These two verses come to mind: "those who follow the Lord will never lack any good thing. (Paraphrase)." And of course, "seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. And all these things shall be added..." When His timing is right, He will give you the desires of your heart, according to His perfect will... 🙏👌
Amen, I choose to answer God's call, I've sacrificed everything (job, family, church, house, friends, etc) but haven't seen the fruits yet, patiently waiting on the Lord for His direction. Amen
YES! This message makes perfect sense. We are in the last days and we are in a battle. It's time for a soldier mentality. Delight in Him and He will give the desires of our hearts at the RIGHT TIME.
I live like that me and Jesus 24/7. and he said get your abodes in order and everything will be added onto you..yeh i had to let everything go but I realized it wasn't much copared to what I gained. Blessings to you I keep you in the healing light of Christ.
I can identify with you. I am a solo traveller and it does have its pros and cons. It can get a little lonely when you’re by yourself. But the fact that I can talk to Jesus and feel His presence all around me., just reassures me that m I’m not alone. I do agree, it’s not an easy journey. God is faithful.
I feel the same way, Alwyn. But it is so much more peaceful / rewarding to be single until the Lord provides or leads us to the right divinely appointed spouse. Then when one gets married and becomes busy with children, they tend to miss the amount of free time they previously had prior to marriage . We tend to want the very thing we don’t have - fear of missing out. But that’s okay and totally normal. Thank you for your incredible ministry and blessing us always! Praying for the Lord to give you the desires of your heart! ❤
It's making sense. What I had to "give up" per the world and let go left me distraught, grief stricken and directionless for a short period of time. But at that same time, I experienced the most incredible outpouring of Holy Spirit / love of God of my lifetime. Hands down, I'm His and on board with Jesus. No greater love, life, purpose. Song of Solomon 6:3
So good! Answering God's call really has been one of the toughest, yet most fulfilling things in life. There are tears of pain, loss and hardship along the journey, yet tears of deep gratefulness and joy at the same time 🥲. There is no love without pain. It's all part of the Lord perfecting love in us - us gaining more of Jesus as we lose our lives and find it in Him ❤. I wouldn't wanna trade Him for anything else in this world! "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matt 16:25
Following Christ and answering the call can sometimes be lonely and difficult. But the peace on earth and reward in heaven will be great! I am willing to lay it all down to follow Him, the lover of my soul. I wouldn’t want to do anything but. Amen and thank you Alwyn!
Many years ago I made a list of things that I wanted for every aspect of my life. I looked at my list and I said to God that I knew my character was not enough and if it was his will, I know he prepare me, but I also said to him that if these things were not his will then I give up everyhing to serve him. After that, God began to work in my life in a new way. I had given up everything to be his vessel. It's been painful. Sometimes I wonder if I will never have a godly partner. Sometimes I wonder if I will never become a mum. God can answer this prayer however he wants to. We can't be entitled to have more than Jesus had or avoid the suffering he endured. He spaid for everything so he is worth everything.
I get you on this. Every day is me and Jesus, he provides everything I need. Yes, I can feel lonely sometimes, but hopefully it’s not forever. Never turning back!
Yes I'm in NZ and during the time I have served my King Jesus there has been sacrifice that makes me cry but Jesus has given me peace during this calling bringing many to His kingdom. God bless you.❤ New Zealand
Makes much sense. I am also single but I've known who my Kingdom Spouse is for about 2,5 years now. I'm happy to fulfill the calling in my life too. It's going go be worth all of it. God's will be done, not mine. Amen
Thank you for this video! 🙏🏻 I’m also going through a period of being on my own and finding my purpose in Christ! It’s good to know that there are other people in a similar journey and that we’re not alone!
This video popped up out of the blue. The Lord moved me from the UK to Italy 5 years ago and now I’m discerning a call to move to Gauteng to a Christian community there. These 5 years have been an isolation period of growth. I can’t tell you how scared I am to uproot again to go to a culture I am not familiar with. I know He is always with me, but the thought of a massive move again 😩, particularly as I’ve now settled here. You are blessed you know your calling. I still don’t know mine. Perhaps He is waiting for me to move to reveal it.
Alwyn, you are a loving brother in the LORD and I can completely understand your deep relationship with Jesus. For me too, HE is the treasure in the field and no person or things can give the happiness that HE gives. Warm greetings from Germany
I'm doing my best to carry my cross - 18 years going it alone in the UK. Praise God it's been a ride, but always safe and provided for. Lonely sometimes and and many tears especially recently but trusting Him
I've been walking with the Lord for twenty years. I am so thankful He chose me and I would never want to go back to the life I was living before Christ. Today is living in the good and bad times... The storms of life because of Jesus. I am nothing without Him and I know it. Not sure exactly what my calling is but I get up everyday and I choose Him. I am forever thankful and I know I am loved today unconditionally by the Creator. There are days I would rather be Home with the Lord than down here, but I know he has a plan and a purpose for me being here. God bless you always, Alwyn. You are so amazing. I am grateful for you. Enjoy your time in the States.🙏🕊️✝️🤗
"Count the cost and do it anyway" My goodness brother Alwyn. I really thank God for your wisdom and raw honesty about what it is "really" like to follow Jesus with your whole heart. It is not all sunshine and roses. There are many lonely days but our hope, courage, and fulfillment is in Him; doing what He has created us to be and do in the earth. I am reminded of the scripture when Jesus told those around Him that He only did what He saw the Father doing. As a fully human being, He also had to lay aside everything to fulfill the plan of God for His life and ministry here on earth. I am also reminded of the scripture that says "As He is, so are we in this world." My daily prayer is to truly die to all the things that rally for my attention and that I may be in this journey as Jesus was and desire to only do what I see The Father doing by His Holy Spirit! Not by power, nor by might, but by His Spirit. I thank God for the grace He has put on your life to minister truth to us and those He has called you to. May your days of sunshine and roses increase in the midst of your obedience to Him in fulfilling the call on your life! You are a true blessing to me and the Body of Christ!
@@barborazajacova7633 Not easy but I have stayed home for 18 yrs to raise my children (with some health challenges) but would not change a thing! God bless 🙏❤️
Sometimes those days where it's just you and Jesus are the best ever. Nothing compares to the beauty of being with Him in the stillness and hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit. God bless you Alwyn. Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Most days for 12 years been me and the Lord too. Cancer, incurables and God had kept me alive for such a time as this. Love you Alwyn❤thanks for your honesty and kindness and loving us. God Bless You✝️🌺
It's not easy at all, but it's so worth it. On Tuesday the Lord woke me up at 3am Jeremiah 29, the entire chapter was highlighted. I've read it before, but I felt like God wanted me to apply it to my personal situation. I could not understand initially how it applied, partly because I was very mentally tired from dealing with my family situation. But I kept pressing in and last night the revelation came. The Lord is not removing me from this chaos because He wants to use me right where I am. His plan for me led me here and His plan will guide me through to the good outcome that He has planned for me. Right now the situation is at a boiling point. I'm tired and sometimes feel like I'm alone and slowly drowning. But I've made up my mind not to slip back into depression, so I continue to fight. To die daily to myself and to trust God, that He is my Father and His plans for me are good and not harm me. He is shaping me and molding me into a strong warrior for the Kingdom. But boy oh boy, this journey can really get sooo rough at times 😓
@@ana_wilson Thank you for the encouragement my dear sister💖 I am doing my best to follow God's lead even through the fire I'm in right now, because I know he promised never to leave me nor forsake me. I'll keep pressing forward⏩️, even if I have to crawl some days, there's no turning 🔙🚷 God bless you my dear 😊
Hi Alwyn, you are truly hitting the nail on the head with this message. 29 years on in my walk with The Lord, I still wonder at the roller coaster time I've been on. My hand is stuck on the plough, Hallelujah. Only God!!! I wouldn't want my life to be without Jesus, ever. Stay safe, enjoy the sun, it's quite cold in Durbanville, South Africa. GOD IS ABSOLUTELY GOOD. Shalom🙏🙌🕊️🕊️🕊️♥️
All my days for the last 22 months it has been just me and God. The Holy Spirit owns me completely. No matter how high the price is, I would not have it any other way. NOTHING compares ♥️🔥
This is so true Alwyn. I had to lay down a desire to marry and have children as well. It was 12 years from the point of surrendering that to when the LORD made a match, and then gave me children. But like you, I left that with Him. His timing is perfect
Amen! Thanks Alwyn, this word came at a perfect timing for me to hear your genuine message, cause l am just going to do it anyway! Taking up my cross and to follow him, and yes it's not easy, it's by His Grace l can do it, and l give my BIG Abba Daddy a big thank you to him. ❤🎉❤🎉thank you Jesus Thank you Alwyn.. much love, thanks for being the real deal!🙏👍🥰😘👏👋😊😊
Brother Alwyn,.. I Have Been Sensing A Change Coming In my Life That Will Make A Greater Demand Than What Has Been ReQuired Since 2015 And A Totally Different Realm Of Demands I Needed To Hear This I Have Not Pondered The Things I Will Miss As I Have Been In Such Excited Anticipation- With Great Sobriety Too- Of The Doors To The Next Part Of The Call Opening Wado 🙏 Shalom Shalom
Catching up on some of your videos today. This is fitting for now. So we just moved recently to east Knoxville, TN. I’ve told my husband there’s a reason we are here. It’s more diverse here closer to the city and in Knox. In fact, just last wk, a girl(I thought she was a boy at first) was walking on the road by our house and she stopped in front of the house and asked for water. I looked at my husband and son and said “Sure, I’ll get some water.” After I gave her water, she sat down on our porch step. I knew right then this was an opportunity. I sat down beside her and asked where she lived. She started talking and long story short I ended up praying with her before she left! I was like did that just happen?? She told me she needed someone to give her hope. She also was familiar with Jesus being the Living Water. But I think I’m feeling called to step out but not really sure how. Second time in a mo. God has opened a door to minister to someone/others just out of the blue. Just a lot I’m thinking about. Been a sahm for last 9 yrs. Was in a dance & drama ministry in my 20s and a little in 30s. My hub has a career. But there’s something I feel like he’s calling us to do. I’ve heard Matthew 22:9 twice lately.🙏 Thank you for sharing. God will reward your faithfulness. 🙏 P.S. We like coffee too. Got a good espresso machine when we moved and we love it. ;)☕️
Yes the path is not easy, well said. I struggle with how different my life is just because l said yes to him. Some days it makes me sad. I applaud you for going the full time ministry route 👏👏
Thanks for sharing your expérience Alwyn, all what you've said is true and it's 3 years that I'm walking alone with the Lord as well, no friends and family. It's painful at times but the Lord is always there to cheer me up. So be of good courage my brother , the Lord will sustain you. You are doing and incredible work and we are all benefiting from the gift that the Lord has given you. May the Lord continue to use you and bless you . Amen. Marantha !
You keep me encouraged. I keep Faith in Jesus even as I constantly struggle to provide groceries and basic necessities for my children both of my sons are special needs taking care of them can be overwhelming at times but I seek and find comfort in our Lord Jesus. God has carried me through so far. Faith is all we need.💕❤️❤️ All things are possible with Our HEAVENLY FATHER.❤️❤️
Thats the place where the Lord is placing me to seek and pursue His calling for my life..And so many distractions comes my way that I need to let go. And I need a direction to where I should be heading.🙏🙏🙏
I once heard a Rabbi say.. Wherever you are in the world Whatever has happened in your life was all done to bring you to this exact precise moment in time You are exactly where God wants you to be.. When you look at your life like that, it changes everythjng because if everything in my life hadnt happened the way it did then I wouldnt be where I am today. I would never have called out to God for help pleading with Him to heal my broken heart and take the unbearable pain away. I woukd never have admitted I was a sinner and cried out to Him in tears begging forgiveness. Everything happens for a reason, all part of Gods perfect plan, Gods perfect plan from the very beginning. Glory be to God Amen
Thank you for this eye opening video. There is a cost to following Jesus but it is so worth it. He suffered so much for us. My mother suffered most of her life with many sicknesses but she would always remind us that Jesus paid the highest price to set us free. I was called to Africa many years ago and sold my home, left a young daughter with parents and when I arrived at the airport my husband and I had nowhere to lay our heads. Then the miracle came and a few Pastors walked up to us and asked if we wanted to stay with them. God is and has always been The God of Miracles. What we give up for Him, He will abundantly bless us.
Alwyn, you speak from my soul.. I feel exactly the same. But it's all worth it. Keeping the faith is everything. Not always easy, especially when we miss that special someone who we know exists but haven't met yet. You are doing great, I'm so proud of you. Much love & blessings, Leandra 💟
Amen. So true. It's really encouraging to hear and see of people living the same way. It ain't easy but it's so worth it. Thank you Jesus for providing in all we need to fulfill our callings, and in your perfect timing🙏🏼🔥
Yes I can really testify about this!! It’s a price and my path is very solitude between me and Jesus the most part of my calling even for church community in person I don’t have that’s a price also, because the church’s wrong doctrine. But thank God for His Grace only that sustain us! I belive the Lord will give to you a family wife partnership of your calling even both of you will be together serving the Lord in His perfect will!! And a children full of the gifts serving Lord Jesus together blessings.
Ty 😊 No looking back, GO forward because God is using us to be a greater blessing to expand our hearts, spiritual hearing. Kingdom work. Unconditional love and resilience
Shear up! I feel I little down for it sometimes as well. Half of my family doesn't talk to me, my husband walked away from his call, and left me 3 years ago. My daughter dating an unbeliver, and my son doesn't understand why his dad doesn't want to be with us. All what I thought and pray for my family, crumbled up right in front of my eyes. I belive we were called to be missionaries, evangelists and teachers. And even when I thought that I wouldn't walk away from God, I also ended up walking away for a year. Now, is only God, my dog and I, and ai get it is hard. None of my family members are belivers, I'm not even from this country. I have no friends. And now I live far from the place I used to live so, I don't even have a church. But my YHWH is worth it all. I'm trying to get back up with Him and for Him.
Thank you thank you Alwyn. This makes so much sense. This scripture keeps coming back to me - Luke 9.62 at times of seeking the Lord's will in a given situation. My thought for the day yesterday was "Will you release to Me your lesser, for My Greater?" I say YES to paying the cost.
Jesus will count what you sacrificing....Jesus...You are worthy of it all. For from You are all things and to You are all things...All Glory belong to the Lord ❤
No its not easy at all, but I know what I want and it is definitely it give back to our God for saving me! We need more prophets and Christians in the world Thank you I really enjoy your worship and talks. I take everything you say to heart! Prays for you! 🙏
Wow, what a good word, thanks for sharing Alwyn. Yes, I'm in that place of total surrender on a much deeper level to move forward, no looking back, trust and obey, leave the outcome to the Lord, full speed ahead and God gets all the glory for what He's doing in my life! Thanks Alwyn for your honesty and being real.
About a year ago, I woke up in the night and I was about to put my feet on the floor and I heard "count the cost". I am single as well and I am also focusing on my walk and answering the call on my life. I can relate to this message.
Yes, you are speaking truth.... I've been in ministry for 14 years with my family. I am now entering a new season and feeling the price... But I know that G-d has something bigger in the works... I just can't see it yet. Thank you for sharing. Although in different countries, know you are not alone. Blessings and prayers. Also, your daily words and messages have become a source of encouragement for me and have increased my faith and walk with the Lord. Seeing your faith in action and words, has made my faith stronger
Any solo journey will be the most challenging (a strongly understated word) of our lives. Answering the call will Always be the hardest thing you’ll ever do. I didn’t directly sign up for my solo journey, but here I am giving it all I have. There are many lonely days, but there’s also many winning days too. God doesn’t bring you through the challenges just to leave you where you are. If he called you to it, He will bring you through it.
Love you buddy. You have been a light to me and I hope this comment is a light to you. I am praying for everything going on in your life. I don’t know you or every circumstance but I am praying for you. Thank you for being such a light in quite honestly a pretty dark world. Continue pushing my brother, I think today’s message (2/22/24) was God really speaking into your life as well. You are about to be launched. The slingshot is a process. Keep. Pushing. Thank you Alwyn.
Alwyn, you are such a so strong man in the LORD. And I am sure, the LORD smile when HE see you doing HIS will in your life. And oh my, yes, it is a wonderful, but sometimes very hard part, to do HIS will. But we know HIS love and mercy is always with us. and HIS peace, too. much love and nothing can be more precious tha follow the LORD!
I'm at a loss of words. God is amazing and I'm so unworthy of what he's done for me but I want all the transformation to happen that needs to happen I pray he doesn't let me sleep on the things he's spoken to me. I have been thinking about this same thing and the Lord has really been showing me some stuff. This video in particular 🙏🏻 🔥 Forward March in the name of Jesus Christ ❤❤
Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Brother Alwyn something that you need to know is this. You are special and a gift to the World. Even when you go buy a coffee it is a ministry because people see you in a wheelchair emanating the Light of God. And it encourages them. Also, you are a very different image of what people have had of a white South African man. You are not only an ambassador for Christ but also your Nation. We Love You So Much. Stay Encouraged.
Absolutely right... There is a cost to fulfill God's call on our life, and it can feel lonely, isolated and painful. Well said for this honest message. Well done Alwyn. Xx... May God give you peace and encouragement.
Amen Alwyn❤Solitude with The Lord Is ALWAYS Preparing Us for What's Next!!! But Thank YOU for your transparency & Sharing God's Truth With Us daily,ITS SO REFRESHING TO SEE SOMEONE LOVING JESUS LIKE THIS,KEEP DOING THE WILL OF THE FATHER HE'S SHINING THE LOVE OF JESUS THRU YOU💙GOD BLESS YOU PRECIOUS BROTHER-IN-CHRIST!!!
Blessings to you Alwyn and thanks for bringing this message. I needed that. That you have a wonderful stay in the US. And also when you are ministering you will be a great blessing to the people. I see young and old and in between coming to life and getting free and being put back on their feet. Hallelujah. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I agree, Alwyn, that the call on your life is definitely worth it. For some, placing Jesus first may actually cost familial, along other relationships, which Jesus also warned us about. If you have the support of family that is truly an added blessing. 🌹I also agree, wholeheartedly, that surrendering to God’s will is the most secure place to be. 🌹For many, their call may take them through seasons where it is truly the LORD and them, alone. But there are those within the pages of the Bible who experienced this which offers added encouragement and confidence. And what Glory it brings to His Name when His Grace and Strength to persevere are so powerfully displayed.🌹
Yes. It is a choice i have to make every day. Choose life. His Grace is enough. Some days are in the valley. Some days are on the mountain. But He is still the same God and i love Him with all my heart and soul. Jesus willingly laid down His life for me. I chose to do the same for Him.❤
So true and timely. Giving everything away to live in a van with my dog, so I can do ministry to people across the US. It took years for me to say yes. Scary and wonderful!
Praying the lord will send you a girlfriend & future wife who shares the same desires as you do Alwyn & you can both be in ministry together,the love of the lord radiates from you
the lord will give you the desires of your heart God bless you as you minister for him & remember there are thousands praying for you 🙏
Amen & Amen 👏
Not a but THEE. 🙏🙏🙏

This makes total sense. I’m a woman and every day it’s me and Jesus! I thought I would be married by now, but it turned out totally differently! I too am doing it alone . Jeremiah 29:11 all day, everyday! His is faithfuls! That’s my King!
being called is a lonely life, I was called to leave the UK and go to Colombia, some days I think about what my friends ad family are doing and some days I am happy to be with God, it feels right and now I cannot imagine not being alone and having my 1-2-1 with God as much as it is difficult at times, its something I love
Hey sis…, I left everything behind two years ago to step into my calling as a travelling evangelist and now street preacher. I’m in the U.S.A for the 3rd time, New York City right now where I’ve been for 2 months…, I’ve been seeing Columbia ALOT and wondered if the Holy Spirit was directing me there also!!! I have to be out of America by 2/9/24…, what are you doing in Columbia and what visa did you get over there with ? I have no idea where the Lord is sending me in September, I’m in a time of prayer and fasting right now but it would be great to connect with a sis from my home country ❤
There's no turning back. When I think about what Jesus did for me, I can't turn back. It's still very hard, and can be lonely. But God, I have your perfect peace, something I never had in all my life. Thank you Lord, Father God.
Btw, as long as you drink your coffee before evening I have found it to be okay and research supports this view 😇
Yeah I know what you mean
be encouraged, God knows your heart and will provide in His Time.
Amen
❤️ He must increase, and we must decrease. Decreasing isn’t always easy. Persevere, Alwyn. If you lay your dreams down at the cross, your dreams are in the most perfect place they can be for redemption and restoration. He promises to restore the years the locusts and cankerworms have destroyed. God bless you with peace and purpose as you wait for your day of resurrection. Keep working for Jesus. You will see that He’s going to restore exceedingly, abundantly above all you’ve ever hoped for or imagined. Keep your eyes on the Eastern skies. Be blessed beyond measure. 🙏
Amen, Emily, Yes, Alwyn, when talking with my son about this, he said the same. Pray for FULL restoration. For FULL return on what has been stolen. God has been speaking this to him about his life, too. Reclaim what has been lost/stolen.
Recently I surrendered my husband's salvation 💯% to the Lord and I also surrendered the "I will only be happy and satisfied once he gets saved by the Lord!" My desires for his salvation became an idolatry in my life. I also had healing as an idolatry; that I would only be happy once the pains in my body that limit activity are gone leave/get healed and delivered from. I also let that go. I also accepted my calling is intimacy with the Lord, to do His will in each and every moment and let go of any idolatry I have with knowing what God's plans are for me and for the ministry calling!!!❤ Yes, there are costs and myfaith has been tested! All of my family members are unbelievers (except one aunt), my family of origin are deceased and that getslonely sometimes. I am called to lay down even more to say yes 100% for the Lord's work. Even willing to let go of having a "retirement plan" or "home ownership" and come fully to you Lord loving you with all (ALL) of my heart, mind, soul and strength ❤❤❤ Bless you Alwyn from 🇨🇦🙏
I have also surrendered my spouses salvation to the Lord as mine had also become an idol and the Lord revealed it to me. I am about 5 years in to the spiritually single life and I know others who have been standing for their spouses for decades. At times it can feel extremely lonely but I know the burden of his salvation is not on me and I am free to enjoy my God journey without shame. It’s a hard road to walk but we can do ALL things through Christ. Believing with you ❤
And you gonna be silenced very soon by impersonating the Name my Father gave me, to allow yourself telling my story in your wicked way to profane His Assets.
Then you shall be as the same as those who sentenced by me 2 days ago: to be wiped away all together for the abomination you did, that was attempting to turn the Name of Holiness into dung, as if the dung you eventually become.
It's alright. You are to eat it, your own dung, very soon. Just a day or two. Ok?

Dear one, you will come forth as gold. You are Beloved to Him.
I remember some time after getting married and felt so strongly to get off birth control. I felt called to be a mother. I have 4 children ages 17 down to 12. I am raising them up in the Lord and praying He uses them mightily! I do feel like the Lord has more in store for my life still and I believe there is nothing that will compare. I am learning to trust Him and lay down my desires for His plan. Thanks Alwyn for sharing your heart. Thanks for being real and reminding us that there is sacrifice so we don't talk ourselves out of God's best when it gets hard. Bless you brother! Enjoy the beach :) We would have been there the end of June in Maryland but my daughter broke her arm in school so we postponed it until August. Love the beach! But we are making the most of our time at home right now. Prayers for your travels and for reaching many souls for Christ. You are so strong in Him! Take care.
She will come at the right time, and she will inspire you to always say Yes to Jesus, whatever the cost... 🩵 There is nothing we can do... we are soldiers for His Kingdom... 🙏🕊🙏🔥 Not by might nor by power but by His Spirit ❤️🔥 He died for us so that we can live eternally 🔥🕊🤍
Amen
@@Veni37Amen & Amen

Thanks, brother. You always speak to my heart. The cost is so high, but, as the song goes, "I'd rather have Jesus than anything..."
So true!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@AlwynUysUnbrokenAmen Brother 👏
Amen and Amen!!! In 2009 Father God told me I was to contend for The Kingdom of Heaven. And since this Kingdom is within us I needed to contend with my own walk with Father. And it has cost me, but Jesus filled the "vacancies" left by my gradual shedding of self. We are to approach this Kingdom like a child, which means you approach this Kingdom without preconceived notions. I had to shed my "religion", which brought me into conflict with my four elder siblings and their spouses.
A great privilege to sacrifice "our lives" and die to self in order to FOLLOW CHRIST 🤗
HALLELUJAH 🕊👏🤗
Amen
Hi, Brother Alwyn, When we, left the place where we lived all our lives to come to Utah, I had not realized the cost of leaving everyone and everything we ever knew. I guess, I hadn't realized until about 4 yrs later, the cost of it or how much this really HAD BEEN His path. Because I hadn't fully known that this was HIS PLAN, the cost of it didn't reveal itself immediately. You are spot on. Right after I watched this, I heard the spirit quote 1 Cor 2. It seemed it was for you, too, regarding your own heart: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit."
Hi, Carol, Don’t you love Alwyn? Great message to him…
That Scripture came to me in a Tender Mercy Mini-Miracle several Years Ago. I had Journaled for many Hours one Day, spilling my heart. I ended w/ that very Scripture that I included at the end of my entry.
Then, I wanted to relax & took a Long while cruising Net-Flix Movies & finally settled upon one, entitled, “Coffee Shop!” Toward the end, an Old man in a Wheel Chair pulled out a piece of Paper, fm. his Scriptures where this Young Woman’s Mother had visited him in the Hospital after his accident & Gave him that Scripture! Yet, the Mom, herself had died some years prior! Again, I had just written it out in my Journal, & had never before, spent 1/2Hr. to choose a movie!
This Tender Mercy, I hadn’t thought of for some years! Holy Father, knew that I really needed your Reminder!
Where are you in Utah? I’m in Provo! I’d Love a meet-Up sometime!
☀️🕊🍃
Hi, Carol, My wonderful msg, disappeared immediately! Ugh! … Where are you in Utah… I’m in BYU Town, Provo! Would love to meet-up!
🙏🏻🕊🍃
God bless you Alwyn for being obedient to the Lord. We love you and are praying for you! You are right! God is RAISING UP AN ARMY IN THESE LAST DAYS. Please pray for clarity for me on what he wants me to do. I left a dangerous and abusive situation and moved nearly 400 miles to start over.
My daughter and I are safe now, which I am very thankful to God for rescuing us! But I KNOW he is calling me to do more. Time is so short! I need direction. Thanks anyone for your prayers!
❤ Lori and Elina.
I prayed for you. God bless you and your daughter ❤
@@eyethumfazwe Thank you!!! ❤
Praying for you both ❤
@@Evangeline0388 Thanks so much!!! ❤
I can’t help but feel that not answering the call is a much greater cost.
I think we must not count the cost.
If we don’t answer the call, we may end up like Jonah in the whale, and he had to answer the call anyway!
Following the call is an honour and a privilege, nothing in life is easy.
Well said!!
That’s a great answer! It’s good to consider what the repercussions or consequences are about not fulfilling the call and destiny that God has for you
❤ I had to hear this, thanks 🙏
I look at the 12 Apostles answering the call, most of them not married, and they all sacrificed their lives! And they chose to stay and follow. It’s not easy but it will be all worth it to hear in the end : “ well done good and faithful servant “ wow!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thanks for having this Heartfelt "Heart to Heart" ❤ conversation with us, it's well appreciated. 😊
You make perfect sense, brother. The cost has always been high. Thank you for your obedience!
God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way❤❤❤.
One of my very favorite songs!!
I is really been hard and scary. My next step is beyond comprehension and I don't want to do it alone. Pray for me please
Thank you, Alwyn, for the inspiration and real talk of walking your faith and calling from the Lord Jesus. I'm praying to do the same. God bless you in your ministry, that you bear much fruit and continue to rejoice in it. Amen!
Trust me Alwyn, I know that it is not easy even when one doesn't have as great ministry as you have.
For me it was very very hard to stay in a bad marriage for 40 years. If i didn't love the Lord with all my heart I would left long time ago. But i did endure, and after all God took him, and i am relieved. We have to follow the Lord because we love Him more than we love our life. God bless you.
I love this so much! Thanks for sharing ❤
You are never alone my brother. The Holy Spirit is always with you..
Amen 🙏 Alwyn it is a narrow and Lonely Road for his Chosen ❤️🔥👑🙌🕊 But The Lord is Worthy 💯
1:30 I know what that feels like. I’m 33 years old and for the past 10 years I have traveled all over all alone trying to play pro basketball. Still looking for a team. But I know what it’s like to travel alone. You are never alone. God is always with you. God bless Alwyn. You are right there is a cost. I lost all the people that I thought really supported me and were my friends. Luckily, I do have my family, but even they are sick of helping me pursue this dream and I have to find me outside of my family.
Dear blackout,
Sacrifices come at a price but you will never stop pursuing a dream that you have unless an answer comes from God too, if he's with u on this Dream ans supports u than that is all u need and I pray God is with u and u fulfill it. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 ❤😊
Thank you for your candor in this message. My single Christian friends and I discuss this all the time: make no mistakes--truly following Christ WILL cost you. These two verses come to mind: "those who follow the Lord will never lack any good thing. (Paraphrase)." And of course, "seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. And all these things shall be added..."
When His timing is right, He will give you the desires of your heart, according to His perfect will... 🙏👌
Thanks for faithfully answering God's call 🔥
It blows my mind how our Father have used your video's at exactly the time needed 🙌
May He bless you & keep you & shine His face upon you 🤍
Amen, I choose to answer God's call, I've sacrificed everything (job, family, church, house, friends, etc) but haven't seen the fruits yet, patiently waiting on the Lord for His direction.
Amen
@AJDub-1979 💖Let's pray for each other 🙏
YES! This message makes perfect sense. We are in the last days and we are in a battle. It's time for a soldier mentality. Delight in Him and He will give the desires of our hearts at the RIGHT TIME.
I live like that me and Jesus 24/7. and he said get your abodes in order and everything will be added onto you..yeh i had to let everything go but I realized it wasn't much copared to what I gained. Blessings to you I keep you in the healing light of Christ.
I can identify with you. I am a solo traveller and it does have its pros and cons. It can get a little lonely when you’re by yourself. But the fact that I can talk to Jesus and feel His presence all around me., just reassures me that m I’m not alone. I do agree, it’s not an easy journey. God is faithful.
I feel the same way, Alwyn. But it is so much more peaceful / rewarding to be single until the Lord provides or leads us to the right divinely appointed spouse. Then when one gets married and becomes busy with children, they tend to miss the amount of free time they previously had prior to marriage . We tend to want the very thing we don’t have - fear of missing out. But that’s okay and totally normal. Thank you for your incredible ministry and blessing us always! Praying for the Lord to give you the desires of your heart! ❤
It's making sense. What I had to "give up" per the world and let go left me distraught, grief stricken and directionless for a short period of time. But at that same time, I experienced the most incredible outpouring of Holy Spirit / love of God of my lifetime. Hands down, I'm His and on board with Jesus. No greater love, life, purpose. Song of Solomon 6:3
So good! Answering God's call really has been one of the toughest, yet most fulfilling things in life. There are tears of pain, loss and hardship along the journey, yet tears of deep gratefulness and joy at the same time 🥲. There is no love without pain. It's all part of the Lord perfecting love in us - us gaining more of Jesus as we lose our lives and find it in Him ❤. I wouldn't wanna trade Him for anything else in this world!
"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matt 16:25
Following Christ and answering the call can sometimes be lonely and difficult. But the peace on earth and reward in heaven will be great! I am willing to lay it all down to follow Him, the lover of my soul. I wouldn’t want to do anything but. Amen and thank you Alwyn!
Many years ago I made a list of things that I wanted for every aspect of my life. I looked at my list and I said to God that I knew my character was not enough and if it was his will, I know he prepare me, but I also said to him that if these things were not his will then I give up everyhing to serve him. After that, God began to work in my life in a new way. I had given up everything to be his vessel. It's been painful. Sometimes I wonder if I will never have a godly partner. Sometimes I wonder if I will never become a mum. God can answer this prayer however he wants to. We can't be entitled to have more than Jesus had or avoid the suffering he endured. He spaid for everything so he is worth everything.
I get you on this. Every day is me and Jesus, he provides everything I need. Yes, I can feel lonely sometimes, but hopefully it’s not forever. Never turning back!
Amen 🙏🏽 yes it’s driving me crazy I can’t wait to be actively walking in the call which I was created for. It’s been a long time coming now (I’m 54)!
Yes I'm in NZ and during the time I have served my King Jesus there has been sacrifice that makes me cry but Jesus has given me peace during this calling bringing many to His kingdom. God bless you.❤ New Zealand
Makes much sense. I am also single but I've known who my Kingdom Spouse is for about 2,5 years now. I'm happy to fulfill the calling in my life too. It's going go be worth all of it. God's will be done, not mine. Amen
Thank you for this video! 🙏🏻 I’m also going through a period of being on my own and finding my purpose in Christ! It’s good to know that there are other people in a similar journey and that we’re not alone!
making TOTAL sense! 👍 God knows the cost and He is the ONE we L❤️VE!!!
This video popped up out of the blue. The Lord moved me from the UK to Italy 5 years ago and now I’m discerning a call to move to Gauteng to a Christian community there. These 5 years have been an isolation period of growth. I can’t tell you how scared I am to uproot again to go to a culture I am not familiar with. I know He is always with me, but the thought of a massive move again 😩, particularly as I’ve now settled here. You are blessed you know your calling. I still don’t know mine. Perhaps He is waiting for me to move to reveal it.
Alwyn, you are a loving brother in the LORD and I can completely understand your deep relationship with Jesus. For me too, HE is the treasure in the field and no person or things can give the happiness that HE gives. Warm greetings from Germany
I'm doing my best to carry my cross - 18 years going it alone in the UK. Praise God it's been a ride, but always safe and provided for. Lonely sometimes and and many tears especially recently but trusting Him
I've been walking with the Lord for twenty years. I am so thankful He chose me and I would never want to go back to the life I was living before Christ. Today is living in the good and bad times... The storms of life because of Jesus. I am nothing without Him and I know it. Not sure exactly what my calling is but I get up everyday and I choose Him. I am forever thankful and I know I am loved today unconditionally by the Creator. There are days I would rather be Home with the Lord than down here, but I know he has a plan and a purpose for me being here. God bless you always, Alwyn. You are so amazing. I am grateful for you. Enjoy your time in the States.🙏🕊️✝️🤗
At 85 years old I am alone but settled my whole live in God. Not much choices to travel etc. Bless you Alwyn and come back soon to S A
"Count the cost and do it anyway" My goodness brother Alwyn. I really thank God for your wisdom and raw honesty about what it is "really" like to follow Jesus with your whole heart. It is not all sunshine and roses. There are many lonely days but our hope, courage, and fulfillment is in Him; doing what He has created us to be and do in the earth. I am reminded of the scripture when Jesus told those around Him that He only did what He saw the Father doing. As a fully human being, He also had to lay aside everything to fulfill the plan of God for His life and ministry here on earth. I am also reminded of the scripture that says "As He is, so are we in this world." My daily prayer is to truly die to all the things that rally for my attention and that I may be in this journey as Jesus was and desire to only do what I see The Father doing by His Holy Spirit! Not by power, nor by might, but by His Spirit. I thank God for the grace He has put on your life to minister truth to us and those He has called you to. May your days of sunshine and roses increase in the midst of your obedience to Him in fulfilling the call on your life! You are a true blessing to me and the Body of Christ!
Yes Alwyn. My current calling is my marriage and family and I have to give up everything else.
@@barborazajacova7633 Not easy but I have stayed home for 18 yrs to raise my children (with some health challenges) but would not change a thing! God bless 🙏❤️
Sometimes those days where it's just you and Jesus are the best ever. Nothing compares to the beauty of being with Him in the stillness and hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit. God bless you Alwyn. Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Amen 👏✝️♥️
Most days for 12 years been me and the Lord too. Cancer, incurables and God had kept me alive for such a time as this. Love you Alwyn❤thanks for your honesty and kindness and loving us. God Bless You✝️🌺
It's not easy at all, but it's so worth it. On Tuesday the Lord woke me up at 3am Jeremiah 29, the entire chapter was highlighted. I've read it before, but I felt like God wanted me to apply it to my personal situation. I could not understand initially how it applied, partly because I was very mentally tired from dealing with my family situation. But I kept pressing in and last night the revelation came. The Lord is not removing me from this chaos because He wants to use me right where I am. His plan for me led me here and His plan will guide me through to the good outcome that He has planned for me. Right now the situation is at a boiling point. I'm tired and sometimes feel like I'm alone and slowly drowning. But I've made up my mind not to slip back into depression, so I continue to fight. To die daily to myself and to trust God, that He is my Father and His plans for me are good and not harm me. He is shaping me and molding me into a strong warrior for the Kingdom. But boy oh boy, this journey can really get sooo rough at times 😓
Hang in there. It will get easier in some ways and maybe harder in others. Press on. Persevere. Run well.
@@ana_wilson Thank you for the encouragement my dear sister💖 I am doing my best to follow God's lead even through the fire I'm in right now, because I know he promised never to leave me nor forsake me. I'll keep pressing forward⏩️, even if I have to crawl some days, there's no turning 🔙🚷 God bless you my dear 😊
Head up, Hun. We are hard-pressed, but not destroyed. ♥️
There is an intense battle, but it belongs to the Lord. 🌹
You know you not alone the Lord woke you to give you Jeremiah 29 is for you to hang in there . This season will pass. 🙏
Thank you for talking about this! It's easy to become discouraged along the way, but we keep our eyes on Jesus - He's always faithful 🙏
Hi Alwyn, you are truly hitting the nail on the head with this message. 29 years on in my walk with The Lord, I still wonder at the roller coaster time I've been on. My hand is stuck on the plough, Hallelujah. Only God!!! I wouldn't want my life to be without Jesus, ever. Stay safe, enjoy the sun, it's quite cold in Durbanville, South Africa. GOD IS ABSOLUTELY GOOD. Shalom🙏🙌🕊️🕊️🕊️♥️
Amen 🙌 I needed this! Thank you for reminding me that the cost is always worth it!! Hallelujah!!
All my days for the last 22 months it has been just me and God. The Holy Spirit owns me completely. No matter how high the price is, I would not have it any other way. NOTHING compares ♥️🔥
This is so true Alwyn. I had to lay down a desire to marry and have children as well. It was 12 years from the point of surrendering that to when the LORD made a match, and then gave me children. But like you, I left that with Him. His timing is perfect
Amen! Thanks Alwyn, this word came at a perfect timing for me to hear your genuine message, cause l am just going to do it anyway! Taking up my cross and to follow him, and yes it's not easy, it's by His Grace l can do it, and l give my BIG Abba Daddy a big thank you to him. ❤🎉❤🎉thank you Jesus Thank you Alwyn.. much love, thanks for being the real deal!🙏👍🥰😘👏👋😊😊
Brother Alwyn,..
I Have Been Sensing A Change Coming In my Life That Will Make A Greater Demand Than What Has Been ReQuired Since 2015
And A Totally Different Realm Of Demands
I Needed To Hear This
I Have Not Pondered The Things I Will Miss As I Have Been In Such Excited Anticipation- With Great Sobriety Too- Of The Doors To The Next Part Of The Call Opening
Wado 🙏
Shalom Shalom
Catching up on some of your videos today. This is fitting for now. So we just moved recently to east Knoxville, TN. I’ve told my husband there’s a reason we are here. It’s more diverse here closer to the city and in Knox. In fact, just last wk, a girl(I thought she was a boy at first) was walking on the road by our house and she stopped in front of the house and asked for water. I looked at my husband and son and said “Sure, I’ll get some water.” After I gave her water, she sat down on our porch step. I knew right then this was an opportunity. I sat down beside her and asked where she lived. She started talking and long story short I ended up praying with her before she left! I was like did that just happen?? She told me she needed someone to give her hope. She also was familiar with Jesus being the Living Water. But I think I’m feeling called to step out but not really sure how. Second time in a mo. God has opened a door to minister to someone/others just out of the blue. Just a lot I’m thinking about. Been a sahm for last 9 yrs. Was in a dance & drama ministry in my 20s and a little in 30s. My hub has a career. But there’s something I feel like he’s calling us to do. I’ve heard Matthew 22:9 twice lately.🙏 Thank you for sharing. God will reward your faithfulness. 🙏
P.S. We like coffee too. Got a good espresso machine when we moved and we love it. ;)☕️
Yes the path is not easy, well said. I struggle with how different my life is just because l said yes to him. Some days it makes me sad. I applaud you for going the full time ministry route 👏👏
Whoa!😮Yes, Father! The call is great! Praise God!🎉🙏Blessings!🙂🙏
You are a true blessing from the Lord Alwyn🙏 I'm so glad I found your ministry on you tube. Thank you so much for your testimony 🙏
Thanks for sharing your expérience Alwyn, all what you've said is true and it's 3 years that I'm walking alone with the Lord as well, no friends and family. It's painful at times but the Lord is always there to cheer me up. So be of good courage my brother , the Lord will sustain you. You are doing and incredible work and we are all benefiting from the gift that the Lord has given you. May the Lord continue to use you and bless you . Amen. Marantha !
May the Lord bless you Alwyn.
You keep me encouraged. I keep Faith in Jesus even as I constantly struggle to provide groceries and basic necessities for my children both of my sons are special needs taking care of them can be overwhelming at times but I seek and find comfort in our Lord Jesus. God has carried me through so far. Faith is all we need.💕❤️❤️
All things are possible with Our HEAVENLY FATHER.❤️❤️
It can become very lonely in a human way but it is worth it. May YAH bless and save everybody who is reading this 🙌🏾
It’s all coming together as God sets us all apart. Keep up the great work. Blessings!!!
Thats the place where the Lord is placing me to seek and pursue His calling for my life..And so many distractions comes my way that I need to let go. And I need a direction to where I should be heading.🙏🙏🙏
I once heard a Rabbi say..
Wherever you are in the world
Whatever has happened in your life was all done to bring you to this exact precise moment in time
You are exactly where God wants you to be..
When you look at your life like that, it changes everythjng because if everything in my life hadnt happened the way it did then I wouldnt be where I am today.
I would never have called out to God for help pleading with Him to heal my broken heart and take the unbearable pain away. I woukd never have admitted I was a sinner and cried out to Him in tears begging forgiveness.
Everything happens for a reason, all part of Gods perfect plan, Gods perfect plan from the very beginning.
Glory be to God Amen
Thank you for this eye opening video. There is a cost to following Jesus but it is so worth it. He suffered so much for us. My mother suffered most of her life with many sicknesses but she would always remind us that Jesus paid the highest price to set us free. I was called to Africa many years ago and sold my home, left a young daughter with parents and when I arrived at the airport my husband and I had nowhere to lay our heads. Then the miracle came and a few Pastors walked up to us and asked if we wanted to stay with them. God is and has always been The God of Miracles. What we give up for Him, He will abundantly bless us.
This is exactly where I am! I didn't know what it was going to cost me but I'm grateful to have found my purpose and relationship with Him
Alwyn, you speak from my soul.. I feel exactly the same. But it's all worth it. Keeping the faith is everything. Not always easy, especially when we miss that special someone who we know exists but haven't met yet. You are doing great, I'm so proud of you. Much love & blessings, Leandra 💟
Amen. So true. It's really encouraging to hear and see of people living the same way. It ain't easy but it's so worth it. Thank you Jesus for providing in all we need to fulfill our callings, and in your perfect timing🙏🏼🔥
Yes I can really testify about this!! It’s a price and my path is very solitude between me and Jesus the most part of my calling even for church community in person I don’t have that’s a price also, because the church’s wrong doctrine. But thank God for His Grace only that sustain us! I belive the Lord will give to you a family wife partnership of your calling even both of you will be together serving the Lord in His perfect will!! And a children full of the gifts serving Lord Jesus together blessings.
Ty 😊 No looking back, GO forward because God is using us to be a greater blessing to expand our hearts, spiritual hearing. Kingdom work. Unconditional love and resilience
Shear up! I feel I little down for it sometimes as well.
Half of my family doesn't talk to me, my husband walked away from his call, and left me 3 years ago. My daughter dating an unbeliver, and my son doesn't understand why his dad doesn't want to be with us. All what I thought and pray for my family, crumbled up right in front of my eyes. I belive we were called to be missionaries, evangelists and teachers. And even when I thought that I wouldn't walk away from God, I also ended up walking away for a year. Now, is only God, my dog and I, and ai get it is hard. None of my family members are belivers, I'm not even from this country. I have no friends. And now I live far from the place I used to live so, I don't even have a church. But my YHWH is worth it all. I'm trying to get back up with Him and for Him.
Thank you thank you Alwyn. This makes so much sense. This scripture keeps coming back to me - Luke 9.62 at times of seeking the Lord's will in a given situation. My thought for the day yesterday was "Will you release to Me your lesser, for My Greater?" I say YES to paying the cost.
Jesus will count what you sacrificing....Jesus...You are worthy of it all. For from You are all things and to You are all things...All Glory belong to the Lord ❤
No its not easy at all, but I know what I want and it is definitely it give back to our God for saving me! We need more prophets and Christians in the world Thank you I really enjoy your worship and talks. I take everything you say to heart! Prays for you! 🙏
Wow, what a good word, thanks for sharing Alwyn. Yes, I'm in that place of total surrender on a much deeper level to move forward, no looking back, trust and obey, leave the outcome to the Lord, full speed ahead and God gets all the glory for what He's doing in my life! Thanks Alwyn for your honesty and being real.
About a year ago, I woke up in the night and I was about to put my feet on the floor and I heard "count the cost". I am single as well and I am also focusing on my walk and answering the call on my life. I can relate to this message.
Yes, you are speaking truth.... I've been in ministry for 14 years with my family. I am now entering a new season and feeling the price... But I know that G-d has something bigger in the works... I just can't see it yet. Thank you for sharing. Although in different countries, know you are not alone. Blessings and prayers. Also, your daily words and messages have become a source of encouragement for me and have increased my faith and walk with the Lord. Seeing your faith in action and words, has made my faith stronger
Any solo journey will be the most challenging (a strongly understated word) of our lives. Answering the call will Always be the hardest thing you’ll ever do. I didn’t directly sign up for my solo journey, but here I am giving it all I have. There are many lonely days, but there’s also many winning days too. God doesn’t bring you through the challenges just to leave you where you are. If he called you to it, He will bring you through it.
Love you buddy. You have been a light to me and I hope this comment is a light to you. I am praying for everything going on in your life. I don’t know you or every circumstance but I am praying for you. Thank you for being such a light in quite honestly a pretty dark world. Continue pushing my brother, I think today’s message (2/22/24) was God really speaking into your life as well. You are about to be launched. The slingshot is a process. Keep. Pushing. Thank you Alwyn.
You are making perfect sense. I get it. I'm wondering what I have to lay down for myself. I'll be praying over that.
Amen! Being in God's Will is worth all the sacrifices and compromises
That’s a word in season for me thank you and bless you! Glory to God 💕🙏
Alwyn, you are such a so strong man in the LORD. And I am sure, the LORD smile when HE see you doing HIS will in your life. And oh my, yes, it is a wonderful, but sometimes very hard part, to do HIS will. But we know HIS love and mercy is always with us. and HIS peace, too. much love and nothing can be more precious tha follow the LORD!
I'm at a loss of words. God is amazing and I'm so unworthy of what he's done for me but I want all the transformation to happen that needs to happen I pray he doesn't let me sleep on the things he's spoken to me. I have been thinking about this same thing and the Lord has really been showing me some stuff. This video in particular 🙏🏻 🔥
Forward March in the name of Jesus Christ ❤❤
Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Brother Alwyn something that you need to know is this. You are special and a gift to the World. Even when you go buy a coffee it is a ministry because people see you in a wheelchair emanating the Light of God. And it encourages them. Also, you are a very different image of what people have had of a white South African man. You are not only an ambassador for Christ but also your Nation. We Love You So Much. Stay Encouraged.
Absolutely right... There is a cost to fulfill God's call on our life, and it can feel lonely, isolated and painful. Well said for this honest message. Well done Alwyn. Xx... May God give you peace and encouragement.
Praying as you serve the Lord that he sends Godly, hospitable people to bless you with the fellowship at the right times!
Amen Alwyn❤Solitude with The Lord Is ALWAYS Preparing Us for What's Next!!! But Thank YOU for your transparency & Sharing God's Truth With Us daily,ITS SO REFRESHING TO SEE SOMEONE LOVING JESUS LIKE THIS,KEEP DOING THE WILL OF THE FATHER HE'S SHINING THE LOVE OF JESUS THRU YOU💙GOD BLESS YOU PRECIOUS BROTHER-IN-CHRIST!!!
Blessings to you Alwyn and thanks for bringing this message. I needed that. That you have a wonderful stay in the US. And also when you are ministering you will be a great blessing to the people. I see young and old and in between coming to life and getting free and being put back on their feet. Hallelujah. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I agree, Alwyn, that the call on your life is definitely worth it. For some, placing Jesus first may actually cost familial, along other relationships, which Jesus also warned us about. If you have the support of family that is truly an added blessing. 🌹I also agree, wholeheartedly, that surrendering to God’s will is the most secure place to be. 🌹For many, their call may take them through seasons where it is truly the LORD and them, alone. But there are those within the pages of the Bible who experienced this which offers added encouragement and confidence. And what Glory it brings to His Name when His Grace and Strength to persevere are so powerfully displayed.🌹
Yes. It is a choice i have to make every day. Choose life. His Grace is enough.
Some days are in the valley. Some days are on the mountain.
But He is still the same God and i love Him with all my heart and soul.
Jesus willingly laid down His life for me. I chose to do the same for Him.❤
No going back, I’ll follow him! He’s showing the way. Anything costly is worth it, especially in Gods kingdom
So true and timely. Giving everything away to live in a van with my dog, so I can do ministry to people across the US. It took years for me to say yes. Scary and wonderful!
