December 29, 2019 "I'll Be Back", Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley

[@NeaneyBeany]

Coolest and most intelligent brotha to preach the word of God!! (My opinion🤷🏽‍♀️) Thank you and rest well!! 🙏🏾

[@leonardhayes9595]

Selah. Thk u soo much for this awsome message. This word is for such a time as this . I feel that it not about what others think because it was not given to them . I am glad u are being obedient to what God has given u & congregation. I pray that many will truly understand what God means to REST & come apart & time spent with Him. I know what this means because He has truly Blessed me from that busyness. I see why is so much needed &a very important in our walk with the Lord. So we can undersrand how to truly hear from God & being obedient when God speaks. I pray many are delivered & be Blessed my this word.. And watch the peace you will have in this midst of any storm....GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!!

[@carolpeacock6802]

This is the kind of man I believe God had in mind when he called men to PREACH! A man of GOD who is not ashamed to he's human and admit he's tired.GOD BLESS YOU.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lindaeaster9715]

I am so glad you realize you needed a break. Most people- most pastors can't or won't realize it. You preaching now!

[@valeriejones3808]

I love he's confessing how he got priorities out of order. Many pastors would die rather than show their humanness. I have truly enjoyed your teachings. Will still be listening weekly until you return. May you returned renewed, rejuvenated and restored to wholeness.

[@GretaCaines]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Such humility. God is so good. Amen

[@SonOfAmittai]

Dr. Judy is a beast going to miss Pastor but I'm going to enjoy Dr. Judy

[@shamusibalogun364]

I am going to miss your preaching, teaching and ministering pastor Wesley. However, your overall health is way more important than your exceptional preaching, teaching and ministering skill-set. Sabbath well pastor Wesley you have more than earned it.

[@JeffCorryMusic]

Pastor Wesley, you did a great job at Alfred Street Baptist Church for the past 11 years. I am thankful and blessed to be in your presence whenever I would visit there. The Lord has called you to rest, rejuvenate, and recover at this present time. I’m glad your church is very supportive and loving. I absolutely love your transparency and it’s not easy leading a flock of people like us every single day, but you have done it with passion. God will continue to speak to you because you are one of His messengers. I love you, we all love you, and establish your first love-with God! When you come back, I pray God’s anointing be upon you. We’ll miss you and your encouraging sermons here on KZbin that helped us all!

[@shamusibalogun364]

Someone put water in my eyes when I saw the Alfred Street family laying hands on and praying for pastor Wesley.

[@calvinlittlesr.7767]

Church! Get ready because when Pastor Wesley returns, he’s going to be wiser, stronger and better! I encourage you all to spend time with the Lord in prayer while Pastor does the same. There’s nothing like being able to clearly hear from God in the quiet space. The Lord reveals so much when He’s not competing with our schedules. Prayers up for the entire ministry.

[@rotony22]

i think he is the happiest pastor because of his good followers, i can feel they love and respect each other. im expecting his coming

[@lelieustache]

It seems like you missed the point of them non being his! There is no such thing as "his followers". Church is made of people who follow JESUS💪🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 HIS followers (no Pr.Howard's... God bless him, His servant)

[@renitawatson3157]

Lord, be with this young child, because he is your child. Put him on Your Potters Wheel and renew him a fresh. Build him up for your Glory. Create in him a New Heart in you Father I pray. I have respect for you you. God Bless You in Jesus Name.✋🏾

[@gloriagordon3895]

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Praise God! Bless your holy name Father! My God! I’ve never witnessed anything so beautiful! We Praise you our most Gracious & Merciful God! Thank you Lord God for such an Awesome Pastoral group and church you’ve led me to... Amen

[@Qochemist]

I thoroughly enjoyed this message on Saturday evening. I am praying for this Pastor and the ASBC congregation during this time.

[@wandabuie6875]

Yes. Rest

[@sharoncox3734]

Thank you for you are giving me Selah. This has been on me from God for months and I have been too afraid to stop. I left my church and found myself in another thinking I can't leave the congregation to rest and be alone with God! I am a minister too and know God told me to take a sabbatical! Hallelujah Jesus! God bless you Pastor and blessings and rest to you! God bless you and you have such a wonderful and powerful ministries in place! Jesus rest! Amen

[@shamusibalogun364]

He put Dr. Judy at the helm for the next 14 weeks!! It. Is. On. And. POPPING!!! She is my FAVORITE Bible teacher and second favorite pastor at Alfred Street. Look at God!! :0) :0) :0) :0) :0)

[@ms.cookie4872]

I absolutely have fallen in love wit the Word God has bestowed on Pastor Wesley to deliver to us! He is so transparent and authentic wit the ability to reach all ages and especially the generation he and I share. I have high hopes to visit Alfred Stree from Atlanta as soon as he returns. His Word is Amazing! This is My daily bible study...

[@endurethejourney]

Thanking God that He gave you the courage to obey Him and not care what man thinks about it.

[@wandabuie6875]

Pastor u said it best let people think what they will. As long as God has u dont worry bout what others think.

[@KellieAlston]

What a courageous move in these days and times when busy-ness even in church activities often supersedes our need for prayer, quiet time, and intimacy with God. I am so glad to know that Pastor Wesley listened to the voice of God and that the congregation has agreed to support him in doing so. I pray that he enjoys this time and that his decision to rest will be an example for believers everywhere.

[@barbarafreeland5582]

Hallelujah! What a powerful Word. 👏

[@davidsanti866]

Pastor, you are a blessing not only to Alfred Street Baptist Church but to even us who serve as pastors, Children of God in South Africa. Selah!

Our Father tells us for I know the plans I have for you, Pastor John Wesley May you go and be with our Father and take your time in his bosom and heal and rest your mind, body and soul we are in prayer with you until your return May GOD be with you 🙏🏾

This was amazing!! Praying for your pastor and the body of Christ. Rest is good

[@rekoholland]

I deeply honor and respect how the Lord is leading you, Pastor Wesley. Rest well, sir! See you in 14 weeks.

[@msdermpath1]

Pastor, you are dearly loved and respected. Know that you are in my daily prayers. Your sermons and teachings have blessed my spirit so much. I will miss them, but more than that I wish health, happiness and joy. Peace my Blue Devil Brother :)!

[@missyla2u]

I am praying with you all this day - refresh!! Amen

[@caroljones9690]

God speed pastor. Hurry back We will keep the home fires burning and leave a light on for you to find your way back to us. Much blessings. Carol

[@jacquelinerobinson4741]

GOD IS SOVEREIGN AND SO GOOD AND WORKING MIRACLES IN OUR LIVES..BLESDYOU PASTOR WESLEY FOR EVER..GOD EVEN RESTED!!.GOD BLESS YOUR HEART AND ALL OF YOUR PARTS.

[@avelinosantosmanuelmaria9311]

Here in Mozambique (Africa) most pastors don't do that. I was blessed and I will share. We need time to refresh and feel ourselves to able to give.

[@13cing]

I am praying for you, Pastor Wesley and look forward to what God is going to put in your heart. Not only for the refreshing of your strength but also for what He will give you for the rest of us, Including, like me, those who are not members there at Alfred Street but who listen to you regularly from other churches. God Bless You and Yours.

[@kdogg8601]

@ 18:35 AMEN! Went through persecution in the past and have grown from it to say the same comment you made, Pastor Wesley. Praying for you in the season of Selah ahead of you. I follow you on KZbin and thank you for being the Follower of Christ and Faithful preacher that you are! I praise the Lord for how He uses you to spread the Good News of the Gospel!

[@JonesClovia]

I LIKE: "Holiness is Resting"....Amen, Amen, Amen. Sending you and your church family bundles of blessings and much favor. DO YOU...have peace while you rest....

[@helenliz9074]

[@nancyyoung1209]

God Bless you Pastor Wesley. I pray you will gain strength and peace during your time away. Thank you for being obedient to God's Word for yourself and your congregation. Peace and Blessing to all of you!

[@johnnycooks6995]

Pastor Wesley Get your Rest and Grt Closer to the LORD! GET RESTORED GOOD BROTHER!🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DaRealH2]

One of the best sermons I've heard in awhile. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Sarah-gr4gp]

Pastor you are doing the right thing, the bible has mention many men of god like David who took time just to be with the lord and reconnect, likewise Jesus did the same by reconnecting . You are bless and will be re-sanctified in and with his holy spirit in his presence. My prayer to you Amen.

[@lettiemonene2125]

We are Gods people don’t elevate Moses more than God.

[@gloriagordon3895]

Praise God! Thank you Sir for being obedient and listening to the voice of God! I can’t wait to see the the glow on your face and hear the words of our Living God speaking through you, when you come back down from out of that mountain! Selah

[@YourGoodKarma]

I am going to miss this pastor!! He always has a good and relevant word

[@patiencemudangwe5790]

Thank you Rev. You’re amazing. May God do for you what only He can do. God bless you. Love you already Pastor Judy

[@wynetteabc]

I was just telling someone that prayer can make or break a church. I need to pray more also. This pastor is very humble. That's the Holy Spirit indeed. God bless him and his sabbatical.

[@Whey2lovely]

Great Point!!19:36-20:29....when I first started watching this video I found myself asking why is he explaining himself in such detail...smh...but then I started thinking about the "people" and "how we can be" some of us feel as though we own our Pastors and many of us make them out to be our own tangible gods, and because we lack a personal relationship with God we put unnecessary pressure on Pastors. I went through a season in my life that was so rough (to say the least) that if God through my Pastor didn't speak into my soul and spirit, I would still be lost to this day.....So with that being said.... I still say that it is a shame that he must explain but I see why he is doing so. Great Point!!! 22:13- 23:45 I feel the exact same way about my church too!!! My Pastor certainly "Rocks" and He loves us like that too...He (my Pastor) would certainly have to explain to us... and He always leaves us in anointed hands... LOLOLOL Point 27:02-28:00 .....THAT'S WHAT I SAID!! 20:20-33:50 Point 44:00 smh lol he is right some do feel like that. Wow Now... The Following is a huge dose of Transparency!!!!!! 44:30 Rest Well...Sir.. You and the Alfred Street Baptist Church are in my prayers.

[@ChavaSaraa]

God bless you and your sabbatical sir..well deserved!! Thank you for sharing your God given gift with the world, continue to be a blessing to all that know you! To God be the Glory!

[@csrolgriffith7485]

Pastor Wesley my only thought is why not SIX months YOU DESIRE IT. God continue to Bless you in your time of Selah

[@josephadeering3774]

Thank you for the sermon and the transparency Dr. Wesley. I have thoroughly enjoyed your teachings and sermons. Good bless your time away (sabbatical) as you seek the Lord God through prayer, study and reflection.

[@lorettafloyd8385]

May God be with you Pastor Howard John Wesley and give you His rest that you need so that you can come back and bless us with the tools we need to go forward In God. Love you, Loretta Floyd

[@wandscain3237]

[@markwhite4877]

Much blessings to you Dr Howard Wesley selah I am praying for you

[@gwendolyngrantham6113]

We are God's people

[@yaminhaniyah2979]

Preach!!! Some people thought that they were going to designate themselves as of some importance to me above God, and got removed and thrown down, God did it. That is also a danger to designate yourself on an elevated level to others that did not award you. God Bless and keep God first.

[@kilvernisbett6770]

Thank You for this sir! Take your rest. Lead by example

[@lauricejennings7254]

I’ll be waiting for your return because I know while you are Selah, God is going to put some amazing things on your mind. Your returning is going to be Welcome Back Pastor Howard John Wesley! You are an anointing man with a lot of Wisdom. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@gwendolyngrantham6113]

May God bless and keep you Rev. Dr HJW during your selah! I have been so blessed and encourage by the ministry God has entrusted to you. What a privilege it has been to witness the move of God in your life. I'll stay tuned in during your absence and I'll be praying that God pours into you while you spend time with him. Get some well deserved rest. Mental health is important and I'm glad you are speaking about it for the world to see. Take care.
