How to Identify Counterfeits? Relationship Talk with Us

[@misses1768]

Got deceived once and now trying to discern if I’m dealing with a counterfeit. Please pray that God will send my husband soon and for clarity and discernment 🙏🏽. God bless your marriage! ❤️

[@tariromerlenemupoperi3214]

Counterfeits may come with a rush to be married sometimes. It’s not always a situation where they don’t want to marry you but sometimes they will rush the process so that you miss the one. Check their fruit and do not overlook behaviors that don’t feel right in your spirit. Discernment is very important. If there’s one prayer that God answers real quick is “God take away anything or anyone not meant to be in my life” Pray pray and pray ‼️‼️‼️

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@Christiana_sheree]

Omgg this is so true I prayed this prayer && I lost my job the very next day like omg

[@BritTellstheTruth]

Yes that is so true!!! 🙏

[@BlairDevonte]

So true!!! Dealt with this recently. A great guy and very sweet, but he was in a rush and overwhelmed me with his intense pursuit! It was a whirlwind, but I knew spiritually we were not compatible. Discernment is definitely key and also dealing with fear in your own heart to not rush ahead as well.

[@delivertus4romnesha328]

This!🎯🎯

[@NurseBaddie]

I recently started intentionally praying for my husband/person to appear. I ran into my first counterfeit after this prayer. Everything you both are saying is so true. This man seemed to be everything I’ve prayed for. As soon as I got close to him I realized he was a counterfeit. I really appreciate the both of you for allowing GOD to use you. This is so needed. Thank you!

[@briacarter5418]

Thank you God for joining these two as one . Y’all understand assignment and Kingdom business. I pray that y’all can continue this series especially.

[@thealfordsforever]

Thank you so much!! So encouraging sis! 🤗

[@married2purpose]

Amen.

[@RashetaCannon]

I love,”Pray for the spirit of truth to manifest…to speak & reveal who a person really is.” That’s good Iman!! Whew!!! NOTED!!!

[@adikwuchristiana1538]

There are counterfeits who come into your life, look like your answered prayer and end up marrying you but were not God's plan for your life in the 1st place, they take you far away from purpose and make the salvation journey difficult. May God fill us with wisdom and discernment

[@CL-do5eq]

Well said

[@tee2678]

Thank you for sharing.❤ I fell deeply in love with my Counterfeit. He broke up heart in the most unexpected way. This was God revealing the truth to me. I am still in the healing process. I do however believe what the enemy meant for my evil, God will turn for my good. I believe that my Kingdom husband will find me when God wills. God's timing is always perfect.

[@thealfordsforever]

Amen sis! We are believing God with you! May God blow your mind in this restoring season of your life!

[@victoryokoligan8527]

I believe God will give me a good man.. My own man will come

[@angelamaria17755]

So sweet he prayed over you ❤

[@allthingzhairbyro2787]

Iman girl you are STUNNINGTTTTT literally I’m mesmerized by your beauty loll that man stephon hit the lotto

[@demetriaclay414]

I really needed this, and everything y'all said hit home. The most thing I've been getting, are the inconsistent men that come and go. Right along with the "married" men that like to flirt, and I'm not going down that road!! God I just pray for the strength to continue to wait on God, and not choose wrong! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@FM-yr4uq]

Wow this message was so timely , I believe this was a warning message from God , May God continue to use y’all to put the enemy to shame. 🖤

[@thealfordsforever]

Amennnn!!!

[@AllAboutBreaAlysse]

Thank you for posting this video . I just fell into temptation with a counterfeit. He lied to me about his intentions and I just removed him out my life on Saturday . He was communicating at first , calling/having conversations. Then, starting two weeks ago he stopped . I had to reach out to him in order for him to talk to me . I started feeling like I’m chasing him . I shouldn’t have to chase after a man . I would have to reach to him for him to then react to him . Although,I take responsibility for ignoring his behavior versus what he was actually saying to me . I pray God will give me more strength to not fall victim to counterfeits and have more discernment while I’m waiting on my husband.

[@20vannesa]

Umm this is happening to me right now. He is so inconsistent and just started talking about three weeks ago. We only met once for first date but a week after he disappeared for two days and then hit me up like nothing. He still trying to talk to me. He seems like a great guy but I’m not to sure anymore. What he did really threw me off ugh 😑

[@eunicekendi2541]

Yaaay! 1st to comment today...

[@SweetNeece23]

this is my first time ever seeing a video of two of you and i’m soooo grateful the Holy Spirit told me to click on it. i love the energy, the wisdom, such a beautiful couple with beautiful hearts! i can feel it!!! new subscriber for sure!!! i needed this word on counterfeits and i literally was like Lord i am a praying woman but i also want a praying husband so the fact that this man prayed for his beautiful wife to be healthy again warmed my heart!!! thank you both sooo much!!! 🥰🤗🧡💕💖

[@thealfordsforever]

welcomee to the family!!! To God be the glory sis!!

[@mayeshabrooks]

Yes I get alot of counterfeits too they talk about marraige but their actions is terrible and when I pray and fast for confirmation they just go away

[@lovelylady2823]

God was preparing you guys for each other when you both were dealing with the counterfeits, however, thru those counterfeits you both had to learn lessons, and after learning those lessons and not repeating the same cycle, I can tell that the love that you both share, and manifesting each other along with waiting on god, and his timing was well worth it.

[@janetics.]

I love these car chats and I am so grateful you two have accepted the calling over your life. It is so important that we seek Gods face in every season, we don't talk enough about how imperative it is for us to shift our desires to align with what God has for us. God not only knows what we need but He also knows what is good for us. He truly is a good father.

[@Bella_263]

Omg Iman’s counterfeit experiences are exactly what I have experienced aswell. This gives me hope. Loved this conversation. Thank y’all, may God continue to bless you both.

[@queenk.w_williams]

Topic is interesting

[@jamaicanbsnrn]

This was so good!👏🏽 I thank God for protecting me from all the counterfeits the enemy sent🙏🏽

[@Healingmakescentz11]

Me too

[@LChea1216]

This was soo good. Thank you so much for sharing & praying. I can relate to you both with the counterfeits but one thing I have held on to is "what the enemy meant for evil God will turn it around for your good." I am praying my next will be the real one SENT by GOD. 🙏🏽

[@cherylcampbell2632]

I’m so glad you guys found each other🙏🏻

[@natural0ne]

Amen Alfords "What does God desire for you!" Thanks for the clarification! We must be careful & recognize your purpose! ❤❤

[@thealfordsforever]

Yes indeed!

[@JoymarieParker]

This was good! I find as I continue to walk with God, all prospects look good on paper - discernment becomes more important than ever. But God also graciously closes doors QUICKLY. I used to be frustrated by that, but now recognize it as a blessing. It’s about assignment! Love y’all!

[@TellyJTV]

FACTS !!

[@nesseniftyjoseph5686]

I think God is using you to speak to me, I had a lot of questions but they all answered through this video. God bless you🙏

[@melaniedenise771]

This was so so good!! My small group is going to share this at our next bible study! We are so grateful for you both and your ministry!

[@thealfordsforever]

oh wooowww! We are honored to God be the glory!

[@annemwago3554]

3rd person to comment!!!! Love you Alfords and watching you.

[@she_sparkz6432]

One of my favourite lines is, “Ladies get y’all ah man that PRAYS and will put that ANOINTING and BLESSED oil on you!” PeriodT!!! You better listen now. LOVE❤️IT! 😂💃🏽🤣 We NEED to understand how to be aware of these🛑COUNTERFEITS🛑 COUNTERFEITS usually come right before the👉🏽PROMISE! (Therefore spiritual discernment in the dating season is absolutely necessary. We need to use this time to cover our future spouse in PRAYER, believing through INTENTIONAL DATING.🙏🏽) Under the LIGHT of GOD’S WORDS every counterfeit heart’s real intention gets👉🏽REVEALED. 😇QUESTIONS we should ask and also have the ANSWERS😉to: 1. Does my partner LOVE❤️GOD? 2. Is my partner a🙌🏽WORSHIPPER? 3. Is my partner good for my👉🏽PURPOSE? 4. Is my partner someone I want to give🙌🏽GOD🙌🏽GLORY🤝🏽with? 5. Does my partner have a servant’s❤️heart? 6. Do I🥳ENJOY🥳being around my partner? 7. What are my partner’s intentions with my❤️heart? 8. What are my partner’s🤝🏽expectations in this relationship? 9. What does my partner want our family life to look🤷🏽‍♀️like? (Regarding us sharing the same morals, standards, values, etc.) 10. What type of🤔lifestyle would my partner want us to have? 11. How many babies🤱🏽does my partner want, if any at all? (Do not assume you know this, ask the question.) 12. Can my partner handle being around my WISE😇Counsel? (The place where the SPIRIT OF TRUTH reveals who a person really is through prayers. This EXPOSES the plans of the enemy.) 13. Does my partner give me a GENUINE🥰PEACE about this relationship? (Are there any inconsistencies...Are there any broken promises…Are there more questions without answers?) 14. Can my partner define what👉🏽INTENTIONALITY looks like? (This looks different to everyone depending on what season they are in.) 15. Was the meeting of my partner a NATURAL🤗FRIENDSHIP or a fabricated one? 16. Does my partner avoid eye🙄contact or do they look me in the eye when we converse? 17. Does my partner care for their👍🏽mom? 18. Does my partner❤️love me with ACTIONS? 19. Does my partner😱ghost me for days? (BIG indicator that the person is NOT that into you.) 20. Does my partner make🤦🏽‍♀️excuses to not make time for us? 21. Is this relationship about my desires or what GOD💁🏽‍♀️DESIRES for me? (Nothing is wrong with knowing exactly what we want in a partner. Just❌NEVER❌let our list override GOD’S LIST. There is a need for balance.) 22. Is my partner✅compatible with me in every sense of the word? (Can we relate on every level?) Another one of my favourite lines is, “When GOD jumps in GOD gives us🙌🏽ASSETS🙌🏽aka BLESSINGS which give us😇PEACE!” PeriodT!!! I hope you heard! The devil on the other hand only knows how to🚷subtract from our lives and keep us indebted to him because “he gives us😵‍💫liabilities😵‍💫aka interests😱and extra😭fees.” This you DO❌NOT❌NEED. PERIODT! #NeverSettleForLessThanYouDeserve #OurFutureSpouseIsWorthTheWaitAmen LORD🙌🏽GOD🙌🏽I choose to TRUST😇YOU with my future because💁🏽‍♀️YOU alone can see the beginning from the end. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” Jeremiah 29:11. AMEN!🙏🏽 Love❤always Tracy C.

[@QueenSoonToHaveHerKing]

INTRIGUING ANALOGY IN WAY OF DESCRIBING IN PERSPECTIVE OF WHEN YU MENTIONED A CARROT! 👍🏽💯👏🏽

[@Alyseshelby]

“Enough!” YALL ARE TOO ADORABLE 🥹 Thank you both for this video! Missed yall

[@isssdaria]

gorgeous couple! thanks guys💗

[@thealfordsforever]

Our pleasure! Thank you so much!♥️

[@jr8694]

Sooo...your video popped up two months ago right after I got involved with counterfeit. I knew it was a sign but I didn't watch the video because I didn't want to think the guy was a counterfeit. Now here I am days after leaving the guy wondering how much pain I could have avoided if I watched this back then smh 🤦🏿‍♀️

[@BongiweSibisi-wd7dd]

The Faves are back!!!! 💃❤️

[@zoebravado8447]

This was excellent made me see something’s. My experience with counterfeits was way different. They were like ankle monitors. Obsessive & there was no challenge. Buying rings, asking me to live with them, tryna drag me to alter. I only saw the devil in them when I decided to leave. And they alway say the same thing “ I cannot let you go or I won’t”. “We agreed to die together”. The man God revealed as my husband has always been willing to let me go even if it makes him sad. Also, I wanted to add God knows each of us & how we need to grow as individuals. So counterfeit & Heaven sent situations can be unique to each one of us.

[@TheFEELSJourney]

Thank you. May the spirit of truth reveal itself to me. Amen

[@mercyitohan5009]

I’m just in tears right now cos I literally experienced everything you guys just spoke about in this video. Even when I started seeing signs I still wanted to be with him until God started healing my heart gradually

[@exclusivelytasha]

Great video. My Kingdom man is coming to get me! I believe it. Amen. Great prayer.

[@trinasmith9730]

Amen Amen and Amen 🤲🏽God bless y’all! Kept getting distracted from this video! But it was right on time! Thank you Lord for remembering me, never leaving nor forsaken me. You are so Amazing Lord! Blessings to all! Much love🤲🏽❤️‍🔥

[@thealfordsforever]

Amennnn!!!

[@KhaliahAli]

The anointing of the Lord is all over the both of you! Iman I am so happy that you are back to complete health!!! Stephon thank you for your labor of love & prayer over her! The work of the Lord is taken place(we know the enemy doesn’t like it…oh well) and the Lord is pleased! You both dropped some amazing gems 💎 to combat counterfeits! Brother when you spoke on dangling the carrot I knew it was for me that was one of the last words I spoke to the counterfeit in my life I told him that he was dangling and moving the carrot and I didn’t get it. Sis, the sudden change in consistent communication that you spoke on is so true. And indeed if they can goes days without talking to you that’s not your person! I’m excited for when God enlarges your territory and you get to travel the globe together! 🌎 🫶🏽🙏🏽

[@London.marieee]

Your channel literally has been such a blessing. I desire a divine union and I’ve been taking so much wisdom and knowledge from you guys ❤ I’m 24 but this gives me so much hope that Godly love still exist. I pray that God continues to cover your marriage and bless you both.

[@preyonce]

You guys are a beautiful couple. Individually, you guys are attractive but look better together. May God continue to bless y’all union ❤ keep God first, please!

[@dorothymatthews6690]

This was so good, Alfords! Marriage should have purpose! especially to build the kingdom of God. That is my desire. Proverbs 3:5 is my life scripture. Please pray for me and my future kingdom spouse . Thank you!

[@ToBeGodsVessel]

My God! Stephon and Iman you all have a Shepherds heart! I absolutely see you, Stephon, being called as a Pastor- It absolutely makes sense as to the heart you guys have and the mission/vision God has placed on y’all’s hearts for real estate and helping our community have access to home ownership. Y’all are slaying Goliaths in more than one way and I am INTERCEDING FOR YOU BOTH! May the Lord Bless and Keep You and Make his Face Shine Upon you and Grant you Shalom, Shalom - PERFECT PEACE! 🤍

[@thealfordsforever]

thank you so much for the kind words! To God be all the glory! We trust God! Thank you sooooo much for your prayers! We appreciate you!!

[@tiktaktoe2298]

Great talk guys! This is something singles should be aware about because a lot of Christians dating out here do not put into consideration the fact that we should be dating with purpose and destiny in mind. God created the institution of marriage to fulfill kingdom assignments and so if the partner you are with does not share the same sentiments as you about purpose that is a red flag. Side note: Every time I look at Iman I'm reminded of Monica (the singer), y'all look alike!!!!!

[@OnlinewithMathuto]

You guys are like one person. So much harmony.

[@marymalloy2848]

God has Great plans for you both, HE Truly has you in preparation.....eyes have not seen, ears have not seen the things that HE has in store for you both. You did it God's way and I rejoice in God before your manifestations take place. ✨️💖 You both are definitely one flesh.

[@Laura-hu3wy]

Thank you for this video! I literally just got out of a counterfit relationship! Wish you guys could talk more about this and maybe what to do after this happens to you!

[@ebonyhendrickson4249]

Hi beautiful kingdom couple! This video was very helpful. I feel as if I have more clarity about things now. Plz keep me in prayer🙌🏽.

[@basicinfo2022]

16:10 another helpful quote is "the eyes never lie" and "real eyes realize real lies". so important that they have a good heart and sincerity or light in their eyes.

[@butterflyj08]

This is phenomenal! I experienced a counterfeit about a year ago and it was definitely an experience that I learned from and just now getting to a place where i am being intentional with my self care and spirit of discernment. Counterfeits are definitely familiar spirit that you dealt with and I really had to pray and truly seek God on things concerning the Gift of marriage also in my gift of singleness right now. Yall gave awesome questions that I have never asked in that way. Thank youuu 🙏🏾

[@mmoiwangnekong9663]

I believe God is speaking to me through this video and m sure God will surely bless me like the way he blessed you, lovely couple. M so blessed.

[@Healingmakescentz11]

God knows what you desire and he has more for you beyond what u desire for yourself Lord that’s good!

[@afiopecokerofficial]

Thank you for this video 📸🙏 💖 i learned something new today. Pastor Stephon, thank you for that POWERFUL prayer 🙏.

[@thealfordsforever]

Glad you enjoyed it sis! You calling Steph Pastor had us LOL!

[@angeldiannah8306]

I used to have a list of what I wanted in a husband and how our marriage and lives would look together, but then I changed my prayer to God I want whatever you want for me because I know it will be the best. God bless you both.

[@Godforwardliving]

Thanks for recording this video. I label counterfeits as "Ishmael." God taught me the importance of knowing and aligning with purpose. Then, He started giving me revelation of my future marriage and His purpose for our marriage. That's what keeps me hopeful and believing in His promises for me and my future husband.

[@pamelabaker8638]

You are an amazing couple. I pray that God continues to bless you both. That prayer was awesome. I thank you for your encouragement. I needed it. Thank you. 💙 🙏

[@MsLalalala09]
