  1. Since the beginning of the year I’ve had several challenges with my work my moms health my daughter and her challenges with addiction and my marriage. I prayed and asked God to help me find a way to address these issues in the way Ge saw best. God knows the end from the beginning in all of our lives. I reached out to Pastor Andrew for prayer and he has prayed with me and for me and my situation. My mom has stage 2 dementia and gets very angry with herself and at us and it makes the home situation very difficult. She doesn’t get on with my husband and neither does my my daughter. My work is very pressurised and have had a difficult time with the pressures at home. My contract was going to be terminated due to the mandatory vaccination policy and I would be out of work from next month. I’m the only breadwinner of the family and I reached out to God and others for help.
    God came through for me in a mighty way. My mom has been reading her Clear word Bible daily and has brought calm to her mind my daughter has been attending AA meetings and seeking Gods help for strength over her addiction and has met the most amazing person who is very supportive in her overcoming the addiction. God found me a job and I start work from next month all this within a month when I was ready to throw in the towel.
    God has been amazing in my journey and I can bear testimony that He is there for You and we can trust Him in His promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us no matter what we’re going through. Thank You God for answered prayers and coming through for me and my family. Thank you Pastor for yours and your prayer groups prayers, we needed them and they have been answered Praise God.

    • Good afternoon all
      My name is Liesal Harmse. I am from Jeffreys Bay in the Eastern Cape. I am single mother of two teenagers. I lost my amazing Life Partner in 2021 due to COVID. I thought that I will recover. He was the most wonderful/ beautiful man God could ever have given me. We misses him every single day words cannot describe the feelings. However I Thank God the All Mighty for everything up to date in our lives.
      My son lost his father in the most critical time of his life and for my it every day a learning curve.
      Sometimes it feels like 10 steps forward and the next 20 steps back. By God is a God of Faithfulness His Mercy never-ending. He will carry your wherever you can not walk. Hallelujah Amen Thank you Jesus
      My son completely primary school last year and I battled to get him in the specific school eventually they informed me that he was was on a very very long waiting list.

    • Good morning, my name is Godwin Moyo from Zimbabwe. I have seen the goodness of the Lord after the work prayer you sent me l received an email inviting me for an interview, and got the job. I had wrote my prayer requests and placed them in my bible from all my requests God is fulfilling his promises and answering them all. Im failing to thank God but to testify his goodness and share my testimony that he is alive and he hears our prayers , for in Jeremiah he said “For l know the plans l have for you” and he has our names “engraved in his palms. May the glory be to God. Im here today after 5 years of no work my prayers being answered. He loves us let’s live according to his word and stand still.

      Thank you

  3. It’s such a wonderful thing to check your emails each morning and read rhe word from alive to God each day. I’ve been through a very rough patch after having covid last year. The messages each morning have been my source of strength getting me through each day. I thought I was going to lose everything I’ve worked so hard for in a battle that took almost a year but God came through for me. I requested prayer from Pastor Andrew and his team and they continued to intercede on my behalf until I received the outcome that everything was fine. Pastor Andrew continued to encourage me in my time of need. All I can say is Glory to God. All praises, glory and honor to our miracle working God. Thank so much Pastor Andrew to you and your team of prayer warriors who so unselfishly gave up your time to pray for me. Keep up the good work. I’m here to say that it doesn’t matter how tough things get, prayer changes things. When two or three agree as touching one thing, it is so on earth as in heaven. May God bless you Pastor Andrew and your team. May you grow from strength to strength in God’s work. I don’t have enough words to thank you for the impact you’ve had on life. Thank you so much. Thank you for being obedient to God. Thank you…

  4. Pastor Andrew, I thank you for your prayers. I was ill for 3 weeks and struggled with my breathing. I now have scars on my lungs, but am much better and am back at work with His grace. God is good, He answers prayers.
    Blessings to you and your ministry and the work you do.

    THE GREATEST LOVE STORY
    AND MIRACULOUS RECOVERY OF MY LIFE
    It all began on the 01st of August 2021 when my boss was taken ill and later diagnosed with COVID. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it through and succumbed on the 09th of August. In the meantime, my colleague and I were not surprised when our results came back positive. Despite all the necessary precautions we took, we were not spared by this virus. We quarantined for the next 10 days taking all the medications that was prescribed.
    However, 10 days after Doc had passed away, my health began to detoriate. Although my oxygen levels were dropping, I did not have any problems with my breathing but was very weak and listless. On Thursday 19th of August, I was admitted to hospital in a critical state and subsequently diagnosed with the dreaded COVID PNEUMONIA.
    On arrival at the hospital, I was put onto oxygen and wheeled to the ICU ward. I remember very little of the next few days as it passed in a shadowed haze. My children were called in, fearful of the worst but I don’t remember seeing them as often as they had come.
    My first morning, I awoke to the swishing sound of my curtains being drawn. Through the little gap amidst my growing fears of apprehension and the movement of shadows, I saw the patient on the next bed being taken away in a black bag and it dawned on me that he had died during the night further magnifying my fears.
    I had never feared the virus and thoughts of death had never crossed my mind before this. I had no sense of time or day. I remember telling God that if I come out of this then I have a story to tell but if I don’t then my situation was solely in HIS HANDS.
    Having the oxygen mask was necessary but the thirst and bone-dry feeling in my mouth was unbearable. I sometimes pleaded for just sips of water to get some reprieve. I had never felt so helpless and desperate before. Then one night, the sister on night duty, purchased a bottle of water and personally handed it to me. I was so overjoyed because now there was no need to keep asking for water and I could finally offer myself some semblance of self-dignity. I thanked her profusely and once again thanked the Lord for His gracious kindness to the world by blessing us with people like her. Thereafter I had a couple of sips of water and kept the bottle close to my heart in the crux of my arm and drifted off to sleep.
    Around 2 a.m. that morning, I was told that I was literally in the palm of death and doctors called my son in Cape Town to seek his permission to put me onto the ventilator immediately or else they would certainly lose me. My son was understandably stressed and traumatized, not knowing what to do. I had mentioned to him earlier that I didn’t want to be admitted to hospital and become dependent on the ventilator knowing that from there on there were hardly any survivors due to the severity of the virus and the pneumonia.
    I was heavily sedated and put onto life support. My body functions had to be shut down to limit body activity for the ventilator to work successfully. In my comatose state, I remember lying on a pure white surface that looked like snow, but it was not cold at all. It appeared as if heaven’s pearly gates were welcoming me to its arms. Despite my trepidations, my surrounding was filled with peace and tranquillity. I was alone but I had no fear at all. After what seemed to be an eternity the faces of my loved ones fleeted through my mind. Moments with friends, family and acquaintances which had before seemed so trivial and unimportant in my journey of life, now reminding me of simple precious things I had overlooked and taken for granted.
    Sadly, I cannot possibly begin to share everything or truly put into words the intense feelings I had experienced, except to attempt to highlight but a few that could hopefully resonate with you. I pray that you will always be thankful for the precious treasures that you have and allow the Spirit of God to be the guiding light that ministers to your hearts.
    Once on life support, doctors had very little hope and they informed my children that my chances of survival were very slim because the virus had spread covering both my lungs almost entirely showing its full force.
    It was about 3 weeks after my being on the ventilator, I remember it was the 12th of September, when my eyes opened to the hospital ICU ward. I was very disorientated, trying to gather my thoughts around me. Immediately after I awoke, the first thing that came to my mind was the question of my love for God. WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE GOD’S UNMERITED FAVOUR AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE THAT HE SAW IT FIT TO BRING ME BACK? I fail God every single day of my life, yet He loves me with a pure love that only He can give, which is indescribable and without conditions.
    The doctors and nurses on duty were extremely excited to see that I had woken up but not as thankful as I to have been blessed to see thee the world once more. I could hear them talking amongst themselves and some of them came to me and said that I must thank my God for bringing me out of this alive. They said that I had come a long way of which I had no doubt. Doctors told me that I was one in a million because at that point in time recovering from the ventilator was slim to none.
    I was taken off the ventilator but was still on high levels of oxygen. It felt as though I was breathing for 2 people whilst on the ventilator, which was a little uncomfortable. One morning during my routine bath, I was having difficulty with breathing. I could feel the phlegm in my chest bubbling up and obstructing air from getting into my lungs. Nurses surrounded my bed to assist. I felt my chest shut down for a split second and I thought that my fate had run its course, and this was probably the end. Thank God for their medical expertise that helped me breathe again and their sigh of relief was mirrored by mine. It took me at least a week to recover from this incident.

     Then one morning, after a very peaceful night’s rest, I awoke with an amazing feeling as if feathers were on both sides of my face. The warmth and comfort of these feathers was extremely incredible. Immediately my thoughts lead me to Psalms 91 vs 4 – “I WILL COVER YOU WITH MY FEATHERS AND UNDER MY WINGS YOU WILL FIND REFUGE”. What an awesome promise that is!!

     Yet another morning, I saw this absolutely beautiful pink and orangish, shiny veil over me. The radiance and warmth of this veil was so overwhelming that I wish I didn’t have to wake up from it.

     The last and most profound vision I had was that of the promise of God that was written in fine red print – “THIS FIGHT IS FINALLY OVER”.
    By now I’ve had physio twice a day for a while, but I still could not sit or stand by myself. My feet felt so heavy that I couldn’t pick them up. My fingers were so stiff that I couldn’t make a fist. I was helpless once again laying there waiting for someone to assist with everything. Every single movement was an agonizing effort.
    In the days that followed, I watched people all around me die. They come in talking and being able to eat and within a few days their health begins to detoriate as if in a blink of an eye. It was heart-breaking to hear them cry out in their weak and feeble voice for water. Then sometime later the curtains would close and re-open and you would be left with the sight of an empty bed with only a memory of a soul that was there no more. Many fell during my time in ICU. Then again, I was reminded of Psalms 91 vs 7 Ä THOUSAND MAY FALL AT YOUR SIDE, THEN THOUSAND AT YOUR RIGHT HAND, BUT IT WILL NOT COME NEAR YOU”. That strengthened my faith and trust in God even more and I knew that He was always with me, and I was surely never alone.
    My struggles were many, but I remained determined to get well and come home. I knew for sure that the road ahead was not going to be easy. I spent 47 days in ICU and finally it was time to be transferred to general ward. I spent my last 10 days here before my discharge from hospital on my 63rd birthday, I was still unable to sit or stand on my own and that was stressing me out. Doctors said that due to the length of time that I had been in bed, it would take me at least 4 to 6 months before I would walk again. Well, I was simply not prepared to accept that. I reminded God of the paralytic man who did not get medical treatment nor physiotherapy but was healed by the Lord Jesus Christ. I challenged God to just speak the word and I will be back on my feet in one month. Amazingly, on the 12th of November, being just within a month, I started to walk without the support of the walker. Indeed, what an awesome God we serve!! He never ceases to amaze us with His Promised Word, His Supernatural Power and Never-Ending Favour. From then onwards, thankfully my health progressed tremendously and here I am standing before you.

    I have experienced weight loss, regrowth of my nails, loss of hair, and shedding of skin. I am not as quick and fast moving as I used to be and considering the aftereffects of COVID, it is a small price to pay for the GIFT of LIFE. Most importantly I had my sanity intact. Doctors were amazed at my determination and bravery during this fight. One thing I am certain, and can assure you of, is that God was with me every step of the way and He still is until this very day. I know for a fact that the medical team that worked with me during the entire time was truly ordained by God Himself. Sometimes I can still hear their cries for water and their families crying out to God. Covid has made people forget who they are in Christ. Instead of drawing closer to God they just curled up in fear of their lives. Don’t wait for someone to leave this earth and then wish you told them that you loved them. It will be too late; they won’t hear you nor see your tears.
    Yes, I have come a long way from staring death in the face to my miraculous recovery. I am nothing less than a Miracle and God has proven once again that He alone holds the breath of life in His Mighty Hands. It is truly not over until he says it’s over. I know for sure that God is not done with my story yet and He alone has the final say.
    in closing, I want to humbly thank God from the depths of my heart and give Him the glory for what He has done and continues to do for me. I thank Him for breathing Life into me when I couldn’t breathe on my own. I thank Him for Life when I was certain I had none. I thank Him for His Infallible Word, His Unconditional Love and Never-Failing Promises. God is still in the business of performing Miracles. After all He is a Covenant Keeping God.
    I also wish to sincerely extend my humble thanks and heartfelt gratitude to every single person, especially my families, friends and not forgetting my neighbours that stood in the gap fervently interceding on my behalf, when I could not during my battle between Life and Death. I have learnt that 100’s if not 1000’s all over Umzinto, Scottburgh, Johannesburg, Cape Town and even India called on God. Here I stand before you and the world declaring that without a shadow of doubt that God still answers prayer. He continues to answer mine and I’m sure that He can do the same for you.
    The Psalms which I hid in my heart, especially Psalm 23 and 91, became a living reality when I was unable to speak for myself. I trust that you have been blessed and inspired by my story and it gives you HOPE for your own. Remember there is no hope nor peace in this world but in Christ alone.
    FROM MY MOUTH TO GOD’S EARS, TO YOUR HEARTS, I SAY: THANK YOU!!!
    TO GOD BE THE GLORY – AMEN!!

    • Thank you for sharing your experience, it is heart-warming – we do serve a mighty God!

  6. Amen, what a promise from GOD,

    On point 2 where two or three are gathered there HE IS,

    Today I can testify to that, many years ago when my daughter was still a teenager now (35), this scripture came to life for me and her, she was already in the pit, burning and confessing with her mouth ,, GOD send me this scripture to show that HE is, and surely as it is I got in the car late in the night with her and together we rode a few kilometres to my brother’s place and there GOD has already prepared the why for us, my brother could not sleep he was in prayer for a long time and could not understand why, when I knocked on his door, with my daughter (where 2 or 3 are gathered there I AM) we immediately went into to corporate prayer and then HE THAT KEEPS HIS WORD, came and with her own mouth my daughter said that JESUS is here me , mommy HE is washing me with HIS blood, and then she was healed, oh how awesome and wonderful GOD we serve, HE SURELY HONOURS HIS WORD ABOVE HIS NAME, all GLORY TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE, HE took the time to look at my daughter and with the love HE has for her and my family I know that any problem is not too big for HIM, HALLELUJAH, TO HIM

    Amen and Amen.

  7. Good day saints of the Most High God. I just want to thank Pastor Andrew and team for the prayers. I was off ill last week and am back at work at a 100% of health capacity. May God continue to increase and elevate your ministry as you effect the lives of many more people. Glory to God for staying true to His word!!!

  8. God Did It Again!!!!

    I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Pastor Andrew and the Alive to God prayer team for praying for my daughter who was to seat for her lower secondary exam in April 2022.

    The results came out towards the end of June 2022 and she made us very proud. To God be the glory, honour and praise.

    Pastor Andrew had given her a word to stand with from Jeremiah 33:3 and my daughter told me anytime she would pray that verse she felt the Holy Spirit directing her where to read, to the exact content.

    During exam when she felt stuck she would pray that verse and she would feel directed to the contents to write. We say thank you very much for standing with us and we say thank you very much Lord.

    Blessing June Neuhoff

  11. Pastor Andrew thank you and the wonderful team for the very reassuring words every day.
    Our awesome love story started in November 2019 when we met on a Christian Dating site.
    A very long distance relationship started with Benjamin in the USA and I in Australia.
    We gradually got to know each other and after 6 months Benjamin proposed and I said yes.
    I planned and arranged to fly to the USA in August 2020 but Covid had struck and my flight was cancelled.
    I rebooked a flight ✈️ for September 2020 and again it was cancelled a day before I was to fly. I was absolutely distraught.
    However we prevailed and our love 💕 for each other just grew stronger every day.
    We planned to exchange our wedding vows in November 2022.
    However Benjamin’s elder sister became critically ill and international travel had recommenced.
    I booked a flight ✈️ to the USA and arrived on May 22nd.
    Finally we met face to face at the Airport and it was a fairytale meeting with cheering from everyone.
    We then decided to marry as soon as we could and not wait for November.
    OUR ALMIGHTY GOD Is Awesome.
    Without HIS intervention we would still be waiting. We finally exchanged our wedding vows 3 weeks after my arrival.
    We managed to arrange everything from the marriage license to the ceremony and reception in just over 2 weeks.
    We were and will always be surrounded by an amazing congregation and Pastor at Harvest Fellowship.
    The love support warm reception and overwhelming strength we have received has shown us that GOD Alone intervened to make this very special day happen.
    Our Faith continues to grow stronger every day.
    I have returned to Australia after extending my visit by 5 weeks.
    I now await my spousal visa so I can return to be with my husband.
    We humbly request Prayers for this Visa to be granted soon.
    However we have now come to realise that all good comes to pass in GOD’S Time not ours.
    TO GOD ALMIGHTY BE THE GLORY HONOUR AND PRAISE.

  12. Today’s message, 5 September 2022, has really hit home for me!

    Verse: Exodus 14:14

    ‘The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.’

    – Some battles are not ours to fight.
    – Some things we have to leave in His hands and He will sort them out.
    – If the Lord commands the wind and waves, He can surely save you.
    – So rest assured in His power and in His love for you.

    I have been going through major depression and have been dismissed from my job for not agreeing with Senior Management, and several other issues.

    Thank you for todays message.

    I shall be leaving everything in our Lord’s Hands.

  13. Good morning Pastor Roebert

    I have so much joy in my heart this morning and I firstly want to thank you and all the intercessors who have prayed for me and my husband for a financial breakthrough YES GLORY TO OUR GOD! We received a telephone call from the mechanic that worked on our car informing us that God speak to him (this mechanic we know for very long and he is also a child of God) and that he should not change us anything for the work done on our car – I have to say I was in tears of joy (in shock) at first but then once again realised that God says – What I have in store for you the eye have not seen and me and Chirsto are embracing God’s mercy, grace and His Love and abondance towards us. We were singing songs of joy while we went through this dessert time but I eyes were focused on our precious Lord Jesus.

    Thank you for all the prayers I do believe that each one of you and your intercessors defeated the Devil and I just want to share this wonderful testimony with you this morning as God says in Psalm 50:15 As a further duty; thou shalt give me the glory of thy deliverance by praising me for it, and improving it to my service and glory

    May God’s mercy, abundance, grace be with you and the work you are doing.

    Jesus love

    Charmaine

I continue to praise the Lord for the daily scripture/prayers we receive for encouragement and spiritual upliftment.🙏🙏

  16. on the 17th Feb 2023 I had to undergo surgery to remove my wisdom tooth. I had an out of office saying I’m sick. To my surprise when I logged on to check my messages I received a message from brother Andrew enquiring and reassuring me that I’m being prayed for. To my delight I felt so blessed to know that Im being prayed for by a team of prayer warriors.

    Im still in pain but I’m glad I’m covered in prayer by faithfully prayer warriors.

    Faith it till you make it.

    Blessing always.

    May you continue with the work you do for us. God bless you

  18. It is funny, my “Alive 2 God” words have been going into my “junk” folder….and a couple of weeks ago I found them and resurrected them into my in box. Little did I know that we were then going to be hit by Cyclone Gabrielle. The words He has spoken through Alive 2 God and Andrew have been so on point and spoken to my heart. I emailed back to say so…and Andrew shared they were praying for us in NZ. Below is my response:

    Thank you for your response and prayers. Out of our darkest hour His light shines. God’s hand is in all of this. The community is coming together like never before. He is uniting people in this season, bringing them together in unity and one accord. It is such a joy to witness heaven on earth “ my kingdom come, my will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”. He is literally giving people their daily bread. People may not have homes and businesses at the moment, however they have shelter, food and love.

    Abundant blessings to you all. He is a good good Father and I believe He is calling His children home in this season. Amen and amen
    ❤️😇🙏🔥🗝🦋

    I believe we are coming into end times. The shaking and shifting, the groaning of the land with floods, rains, earthquakes, forest fires…and many more…and out of this I am seeing His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I believe he is taking ground in this season and everyone here is good soil.

    Love and abundant blessings to you all. thank you.
    ❤️😇🙏🔥🗝🦋

  19. Good day Pastor Andrew.

    I would like to share my testimony. I have been with my present company for just over 12 years and it is a great company which God led me to in 2010 after much prayer and tears. On arrival I came home and that in itself is a testimony. Over the past 12 years I have moved up the ranks quite rapidly with God’s guidance and blessings. In 2017 I applied for the top position in the division where I was working and was shortlisted at no.2. I did not get the job but was promoted shortly after that to a higher position just under the HOD. I have to admit it was quite disappointing for me, but I asked God to open or close the door when I applied and I realized shortly after why He closed the door and I praise Him daily for that. Four years later the door opened again when my manager resigned and left the company. I acted as HOD for almost a year in which I applied again but did not make the shortlist this time around which was very disappointing at first. During this time things were very hectic in the division, and I got so frustrated with everything because it changed dramatically from the day I started. None the less, I just kept praying for God’s guidance and power to get through every day. I just kept going and trusted God for a miracle every day. I thought I was going to stay there until I was eligible for pension but on the 30th of August you shared the scripture for the day namely:
    Isiah 43:19

    ‘See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up…’

    At first, I have to admit that I thought it was a nice scripture but possibly for someone else, until later that day when I was approached by another division within the same company asking me if I would like to join them. It is a division in which I never thought I stood any chance of getting into. I was appointed on 1 Nov 2022 and I am really enjoying every moment. I thank God every day for His provision and opening the right doors. at the right time. I now realized even more why the doors were closed every time I applied for another job because I would have been stuck there and frustrated forever. God gave me more than I asked for because He knows our hearts and longings even if we don’t make it known verbally. He made my favorite scripture Rom 8:28 a reality as always and it is evident in my life for as long as I have been serving the Lord and before. As a family we’ve had some tough times, but God took us through. When I look back in my life, I see the hand of God clearly where I planned my ways, but He directed my path as stated in Prov 16:9.

    To anyone reading this testimony, I would like to urge you to hold onto God, no matter what your circumstances are. At the right time He will open or close the door. If He closes it, it is for your own good will, hang on. God’s plans for you are far better than your own. He knows what tomorrow brings and will protect you from harm which in itself is a blessing although we don’t always think so at the time. Just trust Him. He is faithful and just to fulfil His promises to you every time.

    I want to thank you and your team for the obedience and hearing His voice every time you quote a scripture for the day. I bless you in Jesus Name and thank God for His love and grace.

    Hallelujah and Amen!!!!

  20. Good Evening, firstly All Glory to God, was setback with illness coming out of Resurrection Sunday, all fear and doubt had been removed (In July 2021, I was hospitalized for 15days and 15days at home to recover), my body has been made whole. I give thanks with grateful heart, there are many saints out there. Thank you Pastor Andrew for your continuous support and encouragement, we are blessed to have you, you and your family will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

    On a separate note, I would like to ask the saints to keep me in prayer, appointed in a new position with many challenges, eight months ago I was retrenched, wife has been unemployed for 2 years since Covid. Our Heavenly Father opened the doors to a job opportunity without a salary break. I ma truly grateful for the opportunity, we certainly need the finances. I am waiting on our Abba Father to direct and guide me, never asked for the position, was pre-selected, comes with a significant salary increase.

    My conflict comes with sacrifices being made spiritually and at home, I have 14hr days, work almost every weekend and the environment is very stressful. I am trusting that God will lead and direct with wisdom to make the right decisions whilst I am still in the very early stages of this role. Mark. 8 Verses 34 to 38
    [36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

  21. Dear Pastor Andrew and the Team,

    Thank you for noticing that I was on sick leave, yes I was very ill, I thank God for healing. I would also like to say “Thank you for the word of God, and one feels so special that they are people of God, who intercedes on her behalf.

    May God Bless you all.

    Regards,

    Maureen Mkhize

  22. Since 1987 the Lord brought me a prayer friend with a prophetic gift. I was in the Dutch Reformed Church and she was in thue Reformed Church We both went to a charismatic church in Newcastle. Grace Community. The first time we prayed together the Lord said:Get a book and pen and write every message dowh. I am going to make yo a team. We prayed for 18 yrs and have books, which I still have. She told me long ago that the Lord said I must keep the books; she was only an instrument; and I must write a book. I tried many times; but could not get to doing it. a Few months ago a man named Neil Bredenkamp ; prayed for me and he said: Neil is a group leader in the digital church of dr Arthur Frost. He said; I see you writing a book and the Lord said He will take your hand and help you. The book must be printed: Miracle upon miracle happenned to help me getting that book finished and printed in a few months. It is now on Amazon and 40;000 book sellers all over the worl. In English and Afrikaans. In South Africa it is at thebookstore.co.za. Testimonies:Prophetic word; visions and miracles in prayer. Author. Anna de Wet. That is my real name. Ansonet or Anso is my nick names. To do that at 85 is the grace of God to help me and gave me another chance to be obedient. Ansonet

  23. Dear Pastor and team I would love to share my testimony with others to help and incourage them. I never understood why thinks never gotten better over the years but these last couple of months I learned what it really means to surrender to God to give your life to understand who you are in Christ and what God really means to you , as I walked this journey with my Lord I became a better person without any fears I am no longer a slave to fear to my past, it all happened the night I ask God what now , where to now , and the Holy Spirit told me go to your Father’s House the Sunday I went to the beach not to church and I sat there crying what now Lord and as I looked up I so seabirds flying to a hill and Ps 121 came up … Where does my help comes from and that was actually where the church was on the hill so I went …. In Church I surrender to God in praise and worship remembering the woman in the Bible doing everything in her strength to touch the hem of the Lord how painful it must have been for her being trampled on as she reach … I said to the Lord I’m going to be like her keep on reaching no matter how painful and hard it is …. And the Lord reach out to me as I put everything that I am and have on the altar of praise as a living sacrifice and nailing everything to the Cross…. From that moment I understood what it means to surrender completely to God to let go and let God do what is needed… Every Sunday I received word just like Abraham get ready get your house in order and as it came closer to the end of March God told me time to leave your loved ones and friends and go … Go to Joburg… And I obeyed I came here from my Father’s House (Sweetwater church winkelspruit) to Jericho (Joburg) never did I new the challenge that was waiting for me …. I realised my fear for hights dogs and close space was gone I was free …. I learned what it means to really trust God no matter what everyone was telling me even when I was going through a scam I learned to trust God completely, I learned what it really means to be a new creation in Christ …. When you hold on to the past to everything that is not of God things won’t come right you will always remember the bad the struggle and always cry out why why isn’t my prayers being answered why isn’t thinks coming right … Why do I struggle why am I always sick why am I poor… All these questions it is because you don’t let God work and change your life you don’t let God do what He needs to do … Until you understand that there are doors in the past that needs to be shut to be sealed with the Blood of our Lord and to let God set you free of it all …. When you let go and you let God do it , God will change your life and bless you things will come right, because I didn’t I surrender to God and God has bless me with work … This is only my beginning for God has planned much more for me …. Because of GOD I am new I am righteous…. And I give all my praises and Glory to my God my Lord Jesus Christ … I know if I didn’t listen to the Holy Spirit I would never over come my fear I would never have change I would have struggled….. Keep going keep reaching until you touch the Hem of The Lord until God Has Blessed you… SHALOM .Thasia….. let GOD set you FREE

  24. My partner who has a daughter from his previous relationship was not able to have contact with her as the mother was keeping his daughter away from him for her own reasons, which did not make sense at all. He was in and out of court for what seemed like an eternity, as each time he was told a different story, to the point where some days he just felt so down and out. We prayed, and prayed some more, till we cried. He never gave up, and kept going back, sticking to the dates provided by the court and asking God for help and guidance. Well, yesterday, 27/07/2023 he got a breakthrough, as the judge ruled in his favor and he is allowed to see his daughter and spend time with her again. The journey was long, but we give God all the Glory, honor and praise! In His time, he showed us that if we put our faith and trust in Him, if we believe and pray without ceasing, He will do what needs to be done. Hallelujah!

  25. Hi there, my name is Lisa S, after my retrenchment in 2020 during hard lockdown God has been working on my character, showing me how to lean on HIM Alone and not in my career or partner, etc. I learnt how to think out of the box, trying various businesses, temping and going into companies where I did not feel I was good enough or liked. I started a Virtual assistant business and picked up one client it felt amazing. At the 11th hour, when I felt I was losing hope as my finances were getting low, God opened a door where I work half day for amazing people at a Childrens hospital as Executive Administrator, what a good cause to be able to serve others, I no longer want to work in Corporate anymore. God is so Great, draw close to Him and He will grant you the desires of your Heart.

  26. After this mornings’piece from Pastor Andrew, I have to share my testimony, that God DOES come through for you. Not my ti,e, His time and always on time. I have had some hard times throughout the years, but He has always provided. I am fortunate to have a good job and I work very hard. However, financially I just seem to always come short. My eldest son (35) was involved with the drugs since 13 years. He finally got saved 2 years ago and is now studying to become a Pastor (Victory Outreach). I have had to financially assist him for many years and he is currently living with me, while he is studying. He also get fits since he was 13. Which led to him being unable to get a steady job, because as soon as he has a fit, he is no longer wanted. But God saved him! My youngest son (22) is struggling finding a decent job and is studying in between as well. So, I need to help support there too. But somehow God just come through for me in the last hours of almost giving up on prayer. I am so thankful to Him. Thank you Lord and thank you for sending Pastors on our way to encourage us in these times.

  27. Through it all I’ve learnt to trust in God and depend upon His word. In 2020 my life was challenged so much when a new manager had moved to my area at work, we were investigated all the time and without our knowledge. The manager would go to other areas saying “I am here to clean them out” it got so toxic I decided to apply for other positions and God came through for me I got a senior position at another department, as I sent my notice of resignation the response I got was that I will be charged of a misconduct as a result of the investigations. I was charged and the charges were so harsh I couldn’t believe it, we prayed, fasted and got closer to God in August 2021 I was found not guilty all glory be to God! To my surprise on the 29th September 2021 I got another charge sheet! I could not believe it, I was charged again for the same set of facts just different time periods.😳 I continued praying and fasting, this time around was so difficult anxiety and worry kicked in as I realised that they want me out. Fast forward post the traumatic hearings on the 17th of May 2022 I was found guilty of dishonesty and was terminated, last day was 19th May 2022. I could not believe at 32 years old my career just flashed out right in front of me I was in so much despair. We took the matter to bargaining council for arbitration and that process took over a year and 3 months. During this time I remember praying and God revealed to me that all things work together for my good. I remember saying to myself maybe I was so confident that I won the first time and I was going to win again, yes I trusted God but maybe I trusted my representative more 🤔 maybe God wanted me to trust in Him with all my heart and not lean on the fact that I’ve done this before. The months went by and my savings slowly depleting but God’s hand was upon me through out this process I have never lacked anything I continued being faithful on my tithe and God took care of me for a year and 4 months. It was a tough journey and at some point I was suicidal. The word of God from pastor Andrew motivated me through out the process each day the scripture spoke to me as if it was personally for me, on the last days of the proceedings I reached out to pastor and asked for prayers as we concluded and God heard our prayers I got an award and I will be returning to work on the 1st September 2023! To God be the glory! This process has brought me closer to God more than I was before, it tested my faith so much sometimes my prayers were just that God strengthen my faith because I knew Him and I’ve seen and tasted his goodness.

    Through this process a mobile coffee cafe was birthed and I always remember the passage where David enquired with the Lord and God said, Pursue them for you will Overtake them and Recover ALL!

    Everyone will now know that the God I serve is a mighty God, a faithful father a God of mercy!

  28. John Ward:

    Praise the Lord! Thank you for your prayers, and glory to God for a quick answer for me.

    In the last two weeks, I have had two wonderful generous gifts that have supplied me with enough money, given normal circumstances, to last me through to at least the end of the year, when I pray that the Lord will persuade Zimbabwe Cricket to provide me with a good living salary — unless He has something better for me altogether, so please continue to pray for that for me.

    Glorify the Lord with me and thank you again for your prayer support that has brought me such a wonderful answer.

    John

  29. Thank you Andrew this is a blessing to me.

    I love the scripture you sent Barry and I – Jeremaih 30:17 .

    I want to thank you for praying for us. Barry has recovered well from his colon surgery and is cancer free. ( no chemo was necessary).

    I have recovered well from successful retina surgery and my sight will improve evenmore over ensuing months.

    May the Lord bless you and your daughters and your ministry.

    I pray your Aunt will recover fully both physically and emotionally from her attack.

    Kind regards

    Rose and Barry

  30. My name is Mosele Hlongwane from Lesotho. I watch FAITH Channel a lot. In July I lost my job and was angry and resorted to drinking and my benefits from previous employer worn out as I am also sinking into debt. Two weeks ago I sent out an email to Pastor Andrew and requested prayers for breakthrough. I was invited for an interview for 28th August which I attended and then on Friday 1st I got a job offer and have started on the 4. All glory to God and all thanks to Pastor Andrew and the FAITH community prayer. I am believing God now for my financial breakthrough and will continue to pray, worship and praise God for the job. I will ultimately get out of this horrible debt that I am in by the power in the Blood of Jesus.

  32. My name is Elsa, and we are struggling from March 2023. My daughter has lost her job and she and me are the people who are the once providing for the household. My salary is very little and i did not know how we are going to survive. My daughter applied for jobs everywhere, want for interviews but nothing, when i ask Pastor Andrew and all my bible friends to pray with me when she goes for interviews and today the one place phoned her and told her she is starting on Monday. When you pry you need to believe what you are praying the Lord will and can do it, do not pray with doubt or anything.

    I want to give the Lord all the glory and worship Him for the door He had open for my daughter.

    thank you for everything Jesus!

  34. The anointing is just so beautiful since a few nights ago. It has been lingering and gets stronger and stronger.

    God is here. God is alive and this message is so powerful from the email dated 30 Oct 2023.

    He has been speaking to me about boldness and a few nights ago my husband, 2 friends plucked up the courage to pray over my friend’s husband at the airport in public. We were not afraid of what anyone thought of us, we just did it in obedience to God as our friend is relocating and goes onto something new.

    The anointing came down as we did that and the next day was such a beautiful presence…

    This was 30 Oct 2023 email
    “FAMILY NEWS.
    My girls and I are keeping well. The Lord has been faithful, and we have so much to be thankful for.
    I am privileged to still have a mother who loves and serves God. This week something happened that I wanted to share with you.
    We were leaving the shops and went to the lifts to get to the parking. When we arrived at the lift there were lots of people who had the same idea. The doors opened and we all made our way into the lift. I was at the back of the crowd and my mother was at the door facing all the people. As the doors were closing, more people were getting onto the lift. The doors closed and the usual silence descended into the crowded space – everyone staring at the lights above the door, except for my mother, who was facing the group.
    As I looked at her, I thought: something is about to happen. She began to speak to everyone in the lift. She said: ‘So, do all of you know that Jesus loves you and if you give your life to Him, He will give you His gift of eternal life!’
    Many began to comment: Yes Aunty, Yes Granny, Yes Gogo. The doors opened and the people all made a quick ‘escape’. On departure my mom began to speak a blessing over the people as they disappeared. Only my mom and myself were left in the lift and so we made our way home. I wondered how this 84-year-old lady could be so bold. I realised that when we know we are called, we can be bold.
    You are called by God, you can make a difference – don’t doubt and don’t be fearful or intimidated. The Lord wants to use your life too.”

  35. Good morning Andrew,

    I am so glad that everything is going well with you and your family.

    Thank you for your inspired messages every morning. Yes, we serve a faithful God. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer a year ago. I went for the operation, but the cancer sped to my liver. I went for chemo for 3 months, but my body did not respond to it. I went for another stronger chemo for 6 months, and in the process, I lost all my hair, but did not care. I hold on to the Lord that gave me a word that He will be with me and that I don’t have to worry, he will carry me. I spoke God’s word of healing over my body and trust the Lord to heal my body from cancer, and He did.

    Yesterday I went for my check up and the doctor was very satisfied and please to tell me that my blood count dropped from 12,5 to 2. I only must go for checkup every 6 months again, just to make sure it’s not coming back again.

    God is so good and faithful.

  36. Good morning and win today. I would like to thank you for praying for my daughter when I sent a prayer request about her matric. I was very disturbed and she was not coping with her exams.

    I then sent a prayer request because she was not taking her exams serious. But through God and prayer she passed wonderfully. She has done well and only prayer can make such a transformation. I am really greatful for all your help and support. I thank God for his grace, mercy and favour upon her life.

    May his name be praised, and he deserve all the glory. May he feel all of you with fresh annoiting so you never cease to pray even for people you have never met. May he continue to glorify himself through this ministry and all it’s prayer worrious. Reabetswe Molokoane (my daughter) doesn’t even know she had you as angels watching over her through her exams.

    Million thanks are not enough, but I thank you. May God exceedingly bless your ministry with wealth, love, money, breakthrough, healing, deliverance, good health and miracles in Jesus name. Amen

    Shalom Shalom may peace of God be with you forever.

    MS MPEILE MOLOKOANE

  37. Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord!
    I praise the Lord for Alive to God forum and pastor Andrew. The word sent daily is always so encouraging and prophetic. I remember on Monday the 05/02/2024 my daughter was about to go to a university that is a bit far from home. As a Mom I was a bit unsettled but praying. In the morning, I got the word, Gen 35:5. I learnt that when Jacob had to travel God sent terror in the towns, he was to go past so that no one dared to attack him. I was so relieved and overwhelmed at the same time. I was like oh Lord! you knew my daughter will be travelling. I praised the lord that He is doing the same for my daughter. God is wonderful! Every time I open the daily word, it speaks to me and my situation.

  38. For quite a while now I have been experiencing shortness of breath, but for the past few months it has become more persistent and when I walk on the treadmill I could hardly complete 1 lap and I felt like I had run 10km full out. Well, I actually went to see the specialist about a hernia that I had developed and she insisted that I go and see a cardio specialist first before she did anything about the hernia. The cardiologist also put me on the treadmill and then promptly told me to stop, as I could have a heart attack…! He said that he was convinced that one the main arteries to/from the heart were blocked and that I would need to have a stent inserted. I went in for the angiogram yesterday and it clearly showed that both the main arteries were wide open. There was however a secondary and much smaller artery that was blocked, but because it was too small they could not insert a stent. I am now (unfortunately) on chronic medication to clear that blockage up and to relieve pressure on my heart. It could’ve turned out much worse than what it actually did and by praying I know that God was with my all the way during the procedure yesterday. I am going to beat this and I know we serve an awesome God and nothing is impossible for him!!!!!!!!!!!!

  39. Marge Fletcher Testimony:

    Dear Pastor Roebert

    As for living in the past…..I too recently moved homes, (3 weeks ago)  after my husband/life partner’s death, 3 years and 4 months ago. 

    I too have given away lots of items, big and small. Jis, I feel so much lighter in my mind.

    My life is decluttered and I am travelling light. It is a wonderful feeling.

    I am so fortunate that our Lord, has provided for me in the most amazing ways, and I am able to retire in peace.

    You know Pastor Roebert, I was compelled to retire at 54. Our company liquidated.

    I then went and rented my 1 bedroomed townhouse out for an additional income, to supplement my small pension fund.

    During covid and lockdown, we looked after a cancer patient. It was just us 3. He refused chemo, but eventually he passed away, a month before my husband died of covid. 

    They provided for me financially to be able to not worry about finances. I am forever grateful to our Lord, Jesus Christ, for planning my life meticulously. 

    My parents died when I was 22. I am the youngest daughter of 5 children. My younger brother and I have always been close, and I could help him and his two daughters.

    I am turning 65 in June, and God has been my rock and I give Him all the glory. 

    I deserve nothing, yet, He has considered me. How can I not be grateful and love Him inconditionally.

    Make no mistake, I am not a goody two shoes, yet He has forgiven me, so many times, in my process, of being a daily sinner, and realising that I need to ask for forgiveness. 

    Thank you for reading my story.

    Much love and blessings to you Pastor Roebert, and your family. Marge

  40. Diane and Louis Testimony:

    Morning Pastor Andrews thank you for your uplifting scriptures everyday.  It helps gets us through all the challenges of life. 

    Reading your testimony about your flat tyre same thing happened to Louis and I a few months back . In the middle of Durban cbd in Pine street in the evening. Something sharp was in the road and shredded our tyre. We had just bought 2 new front tyres for our car a week before.  Louis was battling to get the jack up and also the nut would not come off . It was so dangerous I was starting to panic as it was starting to get dark . I was praying for God’s protection as you know how dangerous it is theses days to have a flat tyre or a break down

    All of a sudden a gentleman appeared and offered his help in no time he had the spare tyre on . We also did not have money on us .  All he said he was happy to be of help as it is not safe in cbd at night.  

    I give God all the glory for protection that evening . 

    You can share my testimony. 

    Have a blessed day 

    Kind regards 

    Diane and Louis 

  41. Good morning Pastor Andrew

    I trust you are well, battlefield of the mind, I have been experiencing so long now, I attend an on line bible course every Wednesday night through my church, last night I was speaking about how I fight with my mind each day, it happens when I shower so in the shower I cry, I fight. Last night I confessed what has been happening. My Pastor told me to anoint my bathroom, which I did, and all my brothers and sister have been praying since last night. This morning, I had such a peaceful shower. Praise our Father. No more fighting. Amen

    Thank you for all your inspiring messages and the confirmation this morning.

    Jornette.
