God's Plan for You: Uncovering Your Purpose | Alex Wilson

[romanlee]

Alex, I am going into a summer camp soon, this camp has no christian influence and I believe I will come across some people who have never heard of Jesus. This could be my only chance to reach these people and I need your help. I understand you prioritize living an unhurried lifestyle. However, I ask that you would either make a video or have a conversation with me in the next month or two, about sharing the gospel at a young age, and how to reach people in general. Aside from that I love your online ministry and I deeply resonate with your thoughts and beliefs. I pray that one day I would be blessed enough to become a father and a leader like you. If you see this I also have a lot of questions about growing up in faith as a boy without a father figure.

I will be bold and creative for Christ. I will stop focusing on the world. I will not be distracted. I will not be afraid. I am not a coward in Christ. Jesus thank you for this video. God bless you all brothers and sisters. Let's be bold and brave together!

You can't know your calling without a relationship with God.

I will concentrate on the King by being slower and quieter. Lately I’ve been moving by my feelings and I want to live by faith. I’m 21 and I feel like I’m missing out at times when I know I’m happier reading my word and encountering God’s beautiful message and love. By going slower and being grateful for those still voices he sends me makes me not so quick to run to the worlds idea of what I’m suppose to be doing.

I will focus on my calling by removing myself from the distractions in my life.

Fish swim, Birds fly
Righteous people live by faith👌

9:46 “it was getting alone and concentrating on King that he got his calling”

I love that. I want to be a Spanish teacher to impact the youth in a Christian way. However, I’ve had so many people tell me don’t do it because of the money.

I know that I can’t worship both money and God, so sometimes I can’t listen to society. I had to talk to God alone, and concentrate to hear his repeated calling.

I watched this video a couple of weeks ago, and right after watching it I was inspired to write something and I wanted to share it here. It’s message is about focusing on God. First I want to thank you Alex for willingly letting God use you, you’re a blessing to many. Second, I just pray that this encourages whoever takes time to read it (warning: it is kind of long).

To concentrate, or focus, is to give my undivided attention. Not some, or even most, but all. To give all my attention to God is nothing less than what He deserves. But how can I focus on Him? I can pray. I can pray all throughout the day. And when I pray, it shouldn’t just be me talking endlessly. I need to listen to what God has to say to me. I need to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. I need to listen to God’s words and instructions. I need to be slow to speak so that I don’t talk over Him. And I need to be slow to anger so that my emotions don’t distract me or prevent me from hearing and obeying what God says.

When I concentrate on God, it means that I’m not focused on people. People may be proud of me or encourage me, but that’s not what I need to listen to. Instead, I want to know how God feels and what He thinks. What makes Him happy, excited, and proud? What is it that God wants me to try or do? Where is it that God is leading me, and what does He want me to do there? Who is it that He wants me to develop a relationship with or talk to, and for what purpose? How does God want to use me to bring glory to His Name? If I really want to concentrate on my King, then I need to ask these questions everyday. And everyday, I need to listen when He answers.

It would be a lot harder for me to hear someone if we were at a concert or party than if we were alone together in a quiet room. And it’s hard to hear God when I’m caught up in the world and rushing through life. So it’s good to take time alone with God, and to just listen. I want hear what God says and to pay attention to what He reveals to me in the quietness and the stillness.

I don’t always want to hear what others are telling me. But that’s often when I need to listen the most. I can’t choose to only listen to God when He’s directing me to do something that I already have a desire to do. I also have to be obedient when His commands are difficult, uncomfortable, or elicit a level of fear. He may lead me away from people that I love, and to people that I wouldn’t have chosen to be involved with. He may lead me away from a situation that I thought was good, and into a situation that looks threatening. It often won’t be an easy process, but I just have to trust my King. I have to trust in His faithfulness and in His love for me.

I shouldn’t make my plans and then try to insert God into them. Instead, I should make God my central focus and then let Him direct me. If I put God first, to serve Him and to bring Him glory, then He will put my path in order; jobs, people, hobbies and activities, etc.

Concentration requires the removal of distractions. Who is my distraction? Who actively tries to lead me away from my Heavenly Father, and who do I tend to focus on or value more than God? What consumes my attention? What do I turn to in my free time? What do I do or turn to when I need an outlet for my stress, anger, or happiness? Why do I value and spend so much of my time with these people or doing these things? And how am I going to let them go?

When God puts me in different situations or when He puts different people in my life, I can’t just continue to do my own thing. God has a reason for everything, and He has a purpose for everyone. I have to pray and ask God what my role/purpose is in that situation, and when He answers me, I won’t hesitate or resist what He tells me to do.

God has a purpose for yours and my life. We have to find that purpose and live it out fully, freely, and without any hesitation. The first step? Concentrate on the King.

God bless you all. God loves you and i love you ❤️✝️☝️ Jesus is Lord

[tracycoles]

This video is very timely. I was recently coveting my friends purpose and God separated us to show me that. He used your video to bring the right wording for me to understand. Thank you for being obedient and following your purpose. God is good and is always working. ❤

[simonehardy]

Thank you for your obedience. Thank you for preaching the simple truth of God. Know chains are breaking through this channel.

[michaeloliveira]

My calling and purpose is to walk with Christ and try my best to hopefully lead more people to him. I believe that’s what I’m here for I have found my true purpose and calling.

[Redacteduser-tq]

I always used to compare my gifts to other because in the back of my head I was like 'God said we're to be bold' and I always evangelists preaching on the road in mass crowds and stuff like that and I'm like 'Is that what God wants me to do?'. I prayed about it and then God showed me that my gift is encouragement, He said for me it is to focus on individuals instead of mass crowds all at once because individuals is where I'm most effective. I enjoy public speeches don't get me wrong but He said my main calling in individual encouragement to others and telling them of His glory.

1 John 5:4 “ for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”



YOU ARE AMAZING AND HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!!! 😎😎🔥

God The Father Loves you, Jesus Christ The Son Loves you, And The Holy Spirit Loves you

[lionlee]

I will concentrate on the King by seeking His kingdom and righteousness first (Matthew 6:33) and by meditating on His Word daily.

[kala]

recently deleted my socials & i pray for discipline to focus on Jesus for 1 month & longer if lead. in Jesus name❤️ no outside forces or voices, just me & Jesus

[reneeadcock]

This is exactly what I needed to hear, struggling a lot with envy and coveting. Thank you so much, praise God!

[johannastokes]

If I'm understanding right, I must pay close attention to my King by focusing on His life in being obedient like He was obedient to the Heavenly Father's call. I'm a new subscriber, also as a child in this spiritual walk, but loving every step with Christ Jesus thus far. I'd like to ask for everyone to pray for me through this journey & please help me ( by commenting) to understand so that I come to & know what is the truth. God's truth. Thank you❤

[scottallen]

I will focus on my King by not worrying about others callings to become head or youth pastors but by solely devoting myself to God’s Word this summer and let that guide my internship at my local church.
