What are some of your goals for 2023? Tell us below!

I am grateful to Alfred Street Baptist Church for the SEEK 2023 observance. I have struggled with some internal personal struggles and the time spent in SEEK - connecting with God and in prayer has freed my mind and my soul in ways I did not anticipate. I think it has been the best 40 days I have spent in communion with the Lord and with others in a very long time. I feel more grounded, more peaceful, more positive, and more blessed than I felt before. I can face adversity with a clear mind, knowing that God will not give me more than I can handle and that in weakness there is strength. Where I was closed and struggling before, I have a new sense of purpose. I am so grateful and see many opportunities to continue my growth in increasing my faith and love for Jesus, and in my growth in discipleship at ABSC.

My SEEK 2023 experience was rewarding on many levels. From moving from bitterness in my job to a complete change in my mindset for the work I do; from asking God why a relationship didn’t work out, to knowing that God would reveal the person He has for me in the right season; I truly had a heart change in this fasting experience. Towards the last few days of SEEK, I felt this change and was so content with the great work God was doing in me, but God said I am not through yet! Over the past 4 years at my job, I was experiencing pay equity issues. While there should’ve been a pay difference due to my colleague’s experience, I came to learn I was making nearly half of what she was making for doing the same work and having the same title. I had given up on advocating for myself after two attempts of bringing this situation to my boss’ attention, but my counselor encouraged me to try again and take the situation to the director. I was hesitant, but God placed it on my heart that I wasn’t doing this for me, but the people who would come behind me. Two days after SEEK was over, I (being led by God) reached out to my director to meet. We met for no more than five minutes and he agreed to give me a $35k pay increase, and thanked me for advocating for myself. (Wowww, thank you Jesus!) The years of feeling like I was being treated unfairly financially, to the sleepless nights on how I could effectively advocate for myself, God had it already worked out. He told me it was mine, I just had to walk in it. The best part about the entire situation is that I heard from God and acted. It truly is a beautiful experience to hear God speaking to you. Thank you Pastor Wesley and the entire pastoral staff for leading us through this transformative fast.

During SEEK, the enemy attacked me harder and right at the end, it really got tough but I continued to pray boldly and God worked out a situation that was bad and turned it around. I’m more grateful and feel assured that God is covering me and loves me. Health changes, weights lifted, my Auntie safe.. Praise God❤

Great Day Seek Family💕🙏🏿 I didn't think I could complete the 40 days...the last 3 were a little tough. Because of my hyperthyroidism, my fasting was modified to veggies, plant based & a small amount of fruits. Some-things I don't want to go back to, foods, emotions, past hurts. I'd get up @ 5:40am to make sure I'd be on the morning call (I miss it). Now I use that time to draw closer to God, reading, sitting in silence, listing for that small quiet voice, to be at peace knowing my Father is always with me & working things up for my good. I dial into to 7am call now too! During the journey, I prayed & cried for family who are going through, lifting them up to God. I asked God to bless & protect my neighbors, & co workers, to use me to His glory & be open for opportunities to share the love of Jesus Christ. Not only did God blessed me with a full time job in complex, God opened a employment opportunity for my son in NY. We have new assignments now ☺️. As Christians God always has an opportunity for us show kindness, to be the light. The journey was undescribable, a little touch of heaven on earth. It was awesome to know the amount of people Seeking, the voice & the will of God. Thank you my ASBC family, Seekers, my Village Family & DG 34. God bless you Pastor Wesley.✝️🙏🏿🕊️

Greetings ASBC Family! I thank you for this opportunity to share my testimony directly linked with SEEK 2023. During this journey, I prayed and asked God to supply my holistic needs as I decreased to obtain Kingdom increase, job opportunity, a stronger spiritual connection, better health, and just a closer walk with thee. At the beginning of January 2023, I simply wrote the vision for my life and made it plain upon the tablets through journaling. As a result, the following things occurred after silencing the noise and devoting more time with God: 1. I wrote that I would get a new job contract by the end of January. That happened. As a matter of fact, I got two job contracts. 2. I noted that I desired to change my talk to match my walk as outlined in the Word. Through deliverance, I don't curse anymore. I walk with sobriety. I don't even desire an alcoholic drink or adult beverage of choice even socially. #SOZU 3. The monetary seeds that I have sown to others returned to me in my time of financial need without even asking. Jehovah-jireh. 4. I reduced the risk of developing health ailments such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes associated with African American obesity. I lost nearly ten pounds along with several inches from my waist, and other key areas on my body. 5. I can process the unexpected death of my baby brother, Corey Deonne Russey, age 46. He transitioned from this earthly life this past Monday, February 13, 2023. The spiritual strength from the morning prayer calls, the Word, reflections, devotional songs, and meditation from the SEEK 2023 guidebook was an inspirational tool that prepared me for this moment and beyond. Lastly, this is my SEEK 2023 testimony, I will continue to SEEK God. It's a lifestyle. I am strong. Alesha K. Russey

I thought the adversity I’ve been experiencing for the past 20+ years would go away during the SEEK Fast period, but instead, it intensified. At times, my anxiety and fears caused from the adversity were so great that I thought I would collapse from a heart attack. During these 40 days, God led me to meditate on 2 Corinthians 12:7-10: “7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” I’ve read this scripture many times but never has it applied to me the way it that has these past 40 days. One of my strongest desires is to have such a close, deep relationship with God that I am able to obey and hear from him with clarity and understanding. These past 40 days have allowed me to hear from Him and I believe He said to me: “My love, My light shines the strongest in darkness. Each time the enemy strikes, view that as My opportunity to show My power and the victory I have over the enemy. Notice how quickly and how often you run to my arms for refuge. Notice how I give you what is needed for survival at those very moments. My light is shining through you, and as you continue to spend more time with Me, the more you will look like Me.” During this fast I have also continued to learn the importance of gratitude. Gratitude has affected my perspective and helps me realize that God has allowed more good than bad into my life. When I look at my list of blessings, I am able to see in plain sight that whatever the enemy has meant for my harm and evil, God has meant for my good and to propel me. Through my physical eyes, there have been so many days the enemy seems to win this 20-year war. Through my spiritual eyes, however, gratitude has shown me how much God has been there all along, fighting for me, cheering me on, and showing me the true meaning of “My grace is sufficient.” Sometimes I am embarrassed about having to experience a 20-year war and live with “a thorn in my flesh” that may never go away. However, I have learned to accept that this is my reality. Despite the discomfort and heartache, I am honored God has chosen me as one of His vessels to reveal just how much His grace/mercy is very much an even stronger reality that will never, ever go away.

Hello Seekers.🌿😊 I just wanted to share that when I told my two sisters about my spiritual journey to Fast until February, they decided to join me Day Two. They are not members of Alfred Street Baptist Church, but they were inspired by my commitment and wanted to be involved. Daily, we talk to each other about our progress and share new recipes that we've made that are Daniel Fast friendly. These recipes are now a part of our plant based meal plans.😁 My younger sister, Tanya, also learned something about her eating habits. She really likes sugary foods. Since she stopped consuming them during the Fast, she has noticed that she's been sleeping well at night as of late. Prior to the Fast, she had trouble getting to sleep nightly for quite some time, but we thought the reason was more involved. It's amazing how the simple act of reducing sugar is now benefiting her health in a tremendous way!️🎉 She said that she would continue to follow the things she's doing to minimize her sugar intake from now on. My older sister, Bridgette, has also experienced changes in a positive way as well that she will continue to follow. She has created new dishes each day that she sends pictures and information to us to cook for our meals. As sisters, we have become even closer walking this spiritual Fast journey together and I'm so very happy!💝 I am glad that I shared my Daniel Fast and Alfred Street's SEEK 2023 commitment with them!✝️

This time as I did seek2023 every day as I did daily prayer and took the time to read God word I though of all the people that don't know God or can't get to know him my heart was sad so every day I pray that they would find God because I fill that they could tell other about how good God is I will keep prayer in for them Thank you pastor Wesley for seek and your staff for a great job God Bless

A special shout out to Pastor Wesley for his vision, guidance, prayers especially the early morning Seek calls and leadership on our Seek journey. Praying for his continued strength and blessings. Thank you Pastor Wesley for ALL you do for the Kingdom and God’s people. May God’s very riches blessings be yours 🙏❤️

In my seek contract, I wrote that I was hoping to get healing out of SEEK 2023 prayer and fasting. I had just received a terminal prognosis of 6 months over the holidays due to a severe Lupus flare. The Lupus caused my kidneys to shutdown. On January 5th, my doctor recommended I start dialysis immediately. I refused because I had spent the last 20 years in and out of IV treatments and chemotherapy. I turned to family and friends but no one offered to be a donor. At that point I decided to give this struggle to God and said the following prayer, "God, if my purpose on this Earth has been fulfilled, then call me home. If my purpose has not been fulfilled, then let me live and serve you." On February 10th, I went to my follow up appointment with my specialist. My kidney function had improved so much, that I no longer need dialysis or a transplant! This was such a blessing, relief, and honor. The honor is that in granting me life, I can now testify to my family and other's about God's glory.

To God be the glory for the things He has done. I have done many fast in the past but never 40 days on The Daniel fast and abstaining from social media. Wow! It was only by God’s power I made it all 40 days. i am blessed to receive answers, guidance and direction in many areas I was seeking. God provided me peace and acceptance in some areas. God is more than wonderful, more than amazing that’s what Jesus means to me. My Savior and Lord. What journey and blessing. ❤️

SEEK 2023 was transformational What blessed me the most were the Seek 2023 Playlist and the daily devotionals. As our forty days were coming to an end, I was beginning to "miss" the daily devotionals! But God! The Lenten Seasonal devotions are providential. Bless you my virtual ASBC Family. To GOD be the GLORY.

SEEK 2023 has been absolutely amazing! I am grateful to God for seeing me through this 40 day journey and for drawing me closer to Him daily. The daily 6AM prayers truly blessed me. I am exceptionally thankful to Him for saving my life and someone else’s during an attempted attack of the enemy. I am grateful to be be alive to give this testimony. I have been humbled through this fast and blessed that Jesus covered and continues to protect me with His Blood.

Thank all of you for allowing me to participate in another SEEK journey. My friend Cheryl H. introduced me to this event a few years ago, and I have enjoyed each journey since then. My testimony has to do with hearing the voice of God. I recently had a bout with Shingles. The pain was right up there with childbirth! I have always heard that it was painful, but I did not expect that level of pain. When my mother heard that I had Shingles, she immediately sent me a bottle of calamine lotion over because she said that would help with the itching, which I did not have. My doctor and she said it would keep the itching at bey and help with the pain. Now, I am allergic to antihistamines and have horrible reactions when I take them or put them on my skin and my mother knows this. However, when the itching came, as it was drying-up, I applied the calamine, did not read the label, just put it on, and went to bed. About 30 minutes later, while I was sleep, the pain came back! It woke me from a sound sleep. Naturally, I began praying for God to take away the pain and just let me sleep...didn't happen. After about 45 minutes of this, I heard this voice say, "Carolyn, wash off the calamine and the pain will stop." Well, it was cold and I was in pain. I was not getting out of that bed. So, I continued to pray for relief. Again the voice said, "Wash off the lotion, and the pain will go away." I do not know how long this lasted, but I was in tears when the voice said again, "Either wash off the lotion or remain in pain." That's when I finally got up washed off the lotion, read the label, which did have an antihistamine in it, and got back in the bed. Within what seemed like a few minutes, I was pain free and sound asleep. I do believe that was God speaking to me and only when I listened, did I find relief. God does work in mysterious ways. Thanks again for the this journey.

Renewed and grateful to God for this experience.

During these forty days of Seeking the Lord, I can humbly say, "Oh taste and see, that the LORD, He is GOOD!" To God be the glory for ALL the things that He's done. I feel so much CLOSER to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit than I ever have in all of my 56 years of living. This fast has taught me that "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." I've tasted His word and His presence every single morning and found that the Lord, He is GOOD! I only want to love God and through that desire, I am able to walk in the light of Jesus. I clearly hear the Holy Spirit in that still small voice. I have a new 31-year marriage! My husband and I are closer than we've ever been and we're BOTH closer to God and each other. I bless God for ALL that He has done, is doing, and will do as my husband and I hold hands and move forward together in Him. I bless God for this fast! And not only did I do it, but my mother-in-love and sister-in-love participated as well. We've grown closer as well and I bless the LORD for it. God is SO GOOD!

Happy Day 40, SEEKers! I feel renewed and excited about the rest of the year as we draw to a close of this 40 day journey with the Lord. This was my first fast and also the first time that I was able to experience corporate prayer calls with so many participants. I was in awe at the muddled shouts of praise and thanksgiving during the first prayer call and my heart has been warmed by the same outpouring every morning! One of my brothers served 6 years in prison and was released in September '22. His salvation and success were a part of what I was seeking God for during this time. He has had some hiccups but during week 2 of SEEK, he got a job (after months of applying) and has been working overtime most of the time since then! I know my brother...so I know that this was God! 🙌🏾 I also entered SEEK on a 3-year stretch of just being stuck in virtually every area of my life. This included the fears I have had about purchasing a vehicle for the last few years although I really needed a new(er) one. On day 39 I ordered what will be my first financed vehicle and I am simply trusting God to see me through the entire process. I am letting go of the control that I try to hold so tightly to and allowing God to be God in my life. This is the resolve that SEEK brought me. These are only a couple of the blessings and experiences that I have had with God over the last 40 days. There are some things that I will continue to seek God for over the course of this year and beyond if needed. I am more disciplined and have a greater understanding of what it looks like to spend time with God and not to simply talk to Him, but know how to get in a position to hear Him speaking to me. Many thanks to ASBC and Pastor Wesley for the open invitation and for making me feel welcomed while joining in!

I'm eternally grateful for SEEK 2023, I committed to fast with an accountability partner (PVO) and we began interceding not only on behalf of each other but for our families and friends. Our day started off on the prayer call and ended each night in prayer. We started a prayer list that has grown to over three (3) pages and still growing. As each day passed, additional people have been added to the list. The prayers of the righteous availeth much. We have seen the move of God in our lives and on behalf of others. We have truly drawn closer to God and how He has moved in our lives and the lives of others. I praise God for drawing us closer to seek His face, presence and power of God. We have been favored and honored with the privilege and opportunity to pray for others. We praise God for using us to bless His people. SEEK 2023 has been a blessing in my life and super boost in my spiritual journey to go to the next level in Him. Pastor Wesley, May God continue to Bless you and ASBC!

Praying, believing, seeking God to show himself strong with the manifestation of my new house, financial increase to meet my goal of home ownership, my job, friendships, and blessing my daughter with a paid internship. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Father God revealed to me during the fast that I was not KIND!!! Reading the daily notes on being kind, God let me know I wasn't kind. I was walking around with a chip on my shoulder. Being married to an abusive, violent, extremely offensive, cruel, and insulting husband, I decided I wouldn't allow anyone to get away with anything with me again. I don't go out too much, but since I moved to SC, I have encountered many racist people. I was determent that I was not taking it from anyone. If I were in a place of business, I would report them or look up the business's main e-mail address and phone and contact them immediately. I didn't care if they were fired or not. Now I pray for their ignorance and my compassion and patience. Let go and let God. God made me stand in front of the mirror and see myself.

I am so grateful to God for SEEK 2023. I had started fasting 2 days before SEEK, and was waiting for God to give me clear direction on what all to give up and how long to fast. SEEK 2023 was the answer. I have done 40 days before, but never given up eating/doing so many things. I have been challenged mentally and physically. I’m seeking God for a miraculous healing ❤️‍🩹, and I’m grateful for Pastor Wesley reminding us that while we wait His grace is sufficient!!! I’m excited for myself and all the participants of SEEK to see how God moves in our collective lives in 2023!!!🙌🏽 P.S. the devotionals were EXCELLENT

Praise the Lord🙏🏽! I ‘am so grateful to GOD for Pastor Wesley and the ASBC family. I have seen GOD at work . I just know that it is a brand new day for me! It was kinda smooth in the beginning seeing the changes that GOD moved in my life. Come day 38 and all ya know broke loose!😅 I never been on my knees that long. Anyway the blessings are constant and in every way. JESUS IS THE BEST THING THAT EVERY HAPPEN TO ME!! Thank you Church family this is going to be the best rest of 2023. #Seek2023!

Praise God Savior Jesus Christ! I have during this SEEK session, acknowledge the undisclosed internal feelings through my lifespan.With daily prayer and fasting,I am in much understanding that Jesus through God has given me the strength to leave old routine patterns and to not look back. I am confident God has his arms around everything. Amen.

Praise God, I’m am so grateful to have been a participant in Seek 2023 journey.. I did Not follow the fasting as outlined.. however did not give up or in My participation was for spiritual reasons .. Not to lose weight etc. or medical. Praise report went to my Doctor for follow up lasting week,as I have genetically high cholesterol.. Blood 🩸 test revealed my numbers lower then ever .. I told my Doctor that was following the seek 2023 partially and exercising.. Note I did think about my cholesterol when Started 23.(.since last visit Dec 2 2022) Thank you God🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 Pastor Wesley for the Anointing that God had put on your l life. Love 💗 Alfred Street

Good morning all. Please pray for me on this 39th day, nearly there. was up all night thanks to banging and clanging of pipes - we have oil heat. please pray this will be easily resolved. it is also causing anxiety for my dog. God has been good during this seek fast. I am trying to hold on. Prayers of thanksgiving for my sister Beverley's birthday. May God continue to bless her life and her ministries.

Today, God answered my prayer on purchasing an investment property!...signed the contract today. I started pursuing this venture mid- 2022 & I believe when I started SEEKing God in a real & trusting kind a way with my hopes & dreams, things began to change for me. As a part of my fast, I decided to read the Bible (KJV) in its entirety, out loud and at least 5 chapters each evening; weekends off, (announcating Old Testament names is challenging). The bonus for me is how God/Holy Spirit has re-entered me, the charity, the peace and the utter satisfaction, not to mention the sheer anticipation of hearing from God each day has created such joy in my spirit. Many, many years ago I read the entire Bible but reading it this time is very different for me...I'm older & more mature and I know myself in Christ Jesus! Thanks ASBC for the role you've played in prayer, support & your guidance throughout this soon to be 40 day fast! Love you much, Phyllis

My final day, I was offered a promotion and a raise. This happened on the 37th day of the fast! God is good!

I called my doctor to see if could participate in SEEK23 and he asked that I come in as I had not been in the office for over a year. I went in on Jan. 11, 2023, and came out anxious and SCARED!! The sedentary lifestyle that I had been living had taken a toll on me and it showed up in all my tests. My BP was sky high, my weight was off the charts, cholesterol dangerously high, and glucose borderline prediabetic. The doctor also ordered an EKG and echocardiogram to see if there was any damage to my heart. He immediately put me on BP and cholesterol medications. In all of my 76 years, I had never been prescribed medication for that. To say the least I was very worried. He did say I could participate and the Daniel Fast would be beneficial! After feeling sorry for myself I decided to get moving and do something about my condition, physical and spiritual. I began each morning thanking God for waking me and seeing me through the night. Praying that my numbers were getting lower. I began exercising while listening to the awesome playlists by Pastor Wesley and Dr. Judy! taking short walks in the afternoon, all the while following The Daniel Fast. I carved out time in the afternoon for reading and studying the Bible. I returned to the doctor on Jan. 24th. My BP was still very high and he upped the dosage for BP meds. When I returned home I was catching up on the Journal entries and read the one for day 13 (Jan. 23)"I AM WELL" by Dr. Ty. I then knew, by my faith I would be well, physically, emotionally and spiritually!! I returned to the doctor on Feb.10. Praise God, my weight was down 11 lbs., my BP was now in the 140 range, still high, but trending down, the EKG and electrocardiogram were normal!! Each morning I thank God for the WILL and the WANT to be better, and for Pastor Wesley and SEEK23. For I truly believe if not for SEEK23 I could easily have had a stroke or heart attack. But by Faith I will continue to be WELL!!

I am pausing to worship and praise, as I do many times in my day to bless the Lord at the moment, for the Pastor and SEEK Covvenat partners, for this time of prayer and fasting. We began a ten-day prayer and fast focussing on returning to the altar of God on the 11th Of January here in London. Because I am subscribed to Alfred Street I decided to continue the journey and it has been a blessing, God has come through in a number of ways, especially in moments of sudden grief, and he answered some prayers beyond my expectation, and I continue to seek, surrender and expect. The devotionals and the journaling have been good for my soul. The sermons have been soul-stirring, challenging, and thought-provoking. I was really thankful for the webpage playback of the prayers as it was difficult to join the call from here. In everything I give thanks, I count it all joy and move forward with confidence that I can hear God's voice, align myself to His will and feel and show His power in my life. God.s continual blessings to Pastor Wesley, Dr. Judy(my OTOG), the covenant partners and pastoral team . God is doing great things

I am so grateful to God for helping me through this SEEK fast. Learning so much about managing diet and $$. God has been good. This week especially was very tempting, even though I have only done a partial fast, I have lost weight. But I arrived at work on Monday to every kind of Girl Scout Cookies (why do they always come out around Lenten season:) each day something different, Dunkin Donuts and of course chocolate, thanks to Valentine's Day. However I remained strong. Please join me in celebrating my mother's birthday yesterday. "Snooky" turned 89!!! She has been doing well since coming out of the hospital beginning of December. I also covet your prayers for her sister SYLVIA whom I just found out has been in the hospital since this past Monday. Also for her only child, her son Kenneth who has been caring for her. Thanks to all who have been praying for me along this journey. I am always immensely encouraged by Pastor Wesley, love his honesty and transparency. Praying God's richest blessings on him, his sons whom he clearly adores and all his family. Thanks.

Thanking God for allowing me to walk through a new opened door. Asking for God to bless the conversation, and the hearts and minds of everyone in the room to consider inviting me through the next open door. In Jesus’ name I trust and pray! Amen

Tuesday February 7th around 7:30p my 89 year old mother went to the restroom and felt that she could no longer move her legs and she saw red, she then fell to the floor and still could not move her legs, she then dragged herself to the door to her apartment to let the EMT's in...Let me tell you "BUT GOD" see she wears a Life Alert bracelet but was not wearing it at the time because she just came in earlier from an outing, but on the way to the bathroom she grabbed the bracelet- OMG Look at God !!! EMS came quickly....Fast Forward Wednesday February 15th she's at rehab and the doctor stated that my mother is doing excellent!!!! My mother suffered a stroke that effected her balance, but let me tell you her balance is good and she has no bruises nor any broken bones from the fall !!!! Hallelujah !!! Glory to God !!! OMG, the Lord just keep on blowing my mind, time and time again and I thank him and Love him so much !!!

My prayer request is that we see justice on this side of glory for the brutal murder of our beloved son Bakari Henderson who was beaten to death by 9 Serbians and Greeks in Greece on 7/7/17. As we enter into the 6th year of this journey I'm also asking that our family, friends, and community be able to forgive his attackers as we fight for justice and that I not bargain or negotiate with God but that I be obedient and do His will. Amen - Thank you for your vision Pastor Wesley. I met you at Selah last year and had no idea I would be on this journey with you and so many in 2023. This 40-day fast has been a true blessing for me and I'm looking forward to what the next few days reveal.

I’m grateful to God that I finally got a promotion on my job after applying for several years. During the same week I received my promotion, my daughter received an offer for a paid internship this summer and my step father received a promotion and doubled his salary. God has truly blessed me spiritually and financially during this fast.

My SEEK journal entry for today says it all… The pandemic period has been one big humbling and growing-in-God experience for me. From Momma's financial crisis and failing health to work changes to romantic failure to financial failings to social isolation to midlife realizations, it's felt like my world has been collapsing and all I kept doing was making the wrong decisions. That was only partially true: Things were breaking down but God was about to reconstruct! When I think about how God has shown up and shown out such that Momma is now in good shape and at peace, my work is steadily growing, my finances are looking up and my outlook on the future is brighter, all as my relationship with God is getting stronger and deeper, I can say God has shown me Who is the Boss and how much I truly am nothing without His love, mercy and grace. And I'm good with the lesson. Thank You for pruning me and growing YOUR Marjorie, dear Lord God!!! Onward I go with You in humility, faith and joy. In Jesus' most blessed name, amen

I have learned to hear the voice of God much more clearer. I've had my ups and down with the fast BUT I was and am determind to make it to the end.Will be doing more on my own as the spirit lead me.Praise God for alfredstreet ministry,and God bless you Pastor Westley

As a child I remember the fun in playing Hide and Seek. Here I am 60+years later and 30 days+ in SEEKING GOD (asking is He hidden or is he lost?) and I realize He is not lost (He has been present from the beginning Genesis 1 and from my beginning Psalm 139). I am lost sometimes, though Jesus is my good shepherd. I'm beginning to awaken to the fact that He may sometimes be hidden yet revealed in His word. In addition to my modified fast for health reasons, my financial fast has been to ask for 'change back', then randomly give to grocery teller or sacker a $10.00 to $20.00 bill and say "God loves you". Some have cried joyfully. By grace, this week I received an unexpected, incredible financial blessing that blew me away! Best of all, serene confidence of the Psalmist in 27th and perfect peace in the storms of life wash over me. Thank you, Alfred Street remote family, for your examples of faith in action. Thank you Pastor Howard-John Wesley, for saying, "your servant is listening."

A few Thursdays ago—I believe it was Day 16 of SEEK—Pastor Wesley started the call describing a recent session he had with his therapist. He said during their time together, she guided him through breathing exercises, and in turn he guided the listeners through inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly to release mounting stress and tension. We both participated—my husband from his hospital room at NIH and I was in the car headed to him before he went in for what should have been a routine procedure. After returning from the recovery area, we found ourselves alone in his room and waiting for his attending nurse to show up. After 20 minutes or so she was still “missing in action” and my husband started to shake uncontrollably, his lips were turning white, and a stream of tears flowed from his eyes. I ran back and forth to the warmer and piled heated blankets on him, but his condition worsened! I was able yo get the attention of the charge nurse, hospitalist, and a tech; they came to his aid and assured me that this strange episode was something they see often - condition they call rigors. The charge nurse yelled to him, “Mr. Strong, breathe deeply and exhale slowly!” I started to shake myself then yelled, “Noah, do what Pastor Wesley told you to do this morning!!!” While all of this was going on, his phone was ringing and then mine! The caller dialed both our numbers, back-to-back, twice! Silly me couldn’t believe someone could be so insistent at that critical time, so I stepped out to see what the urgency was and returned the call only to get a church deacon on the other end!!!! I couldn’t believe the timing, but could only think it was orchestrated by God! When I walked back into the room, Noah’s body temperature had returned to normal, the shaking had stopped, and the medical staff were talking to him. He was back to normal and we sat stunned for moment with the timing of events. Pastor’s words were scarily timely and the deacon’s call was too! Since that day, we have told that story numerous times and we’ve participated in the membership activities! We are firm believers that ASBC truly is the place for us and orchestrated by God!

Back in 2020 when we were faced with an epidemic of mass destruction, I did not know where to turn. I soke to God to protect me and my family and friends and frankly the world. It was a scary time for me and the local church did not know how to handle it. There were actually 2 leaders who I felt faced the challenge the way I needed them to. One was the Governor of Maryland, Hogan and the other was Alfred Street Baptist church Pastor Howard John Wesley. I told my family and friends ;that they needed to listen to the messages that God has placed on this mans heart. They were exactly what I needed and they needed to get in on it. The messages were so profound that at one time I started feeling guilty for listening. I actually felt that I was robbing God for not sewing seed where I was being fed. I tell you I had to reevaluate the tithes I was giving my church! So little by little I started reasoning with myself and saying well I have to give where I am fed and started dipping in my church home tithes and splitting them with Alfred street, Ever since that time I have been giving offerings to Alfred street. When I tell you the messages are on point. It's definitely an understatement. Without going into it much but at the same time of the pandemic. The devil saw fit to snatch part of my family from me. Devasting times even unto this day. But God. He has a way. Through giving at Alfred Street I am whole and have been participating in SEEK every year. I can say that God is my all and all. It's not easy, but God. He is a sustainer and healer a waymaker, a miracle worker a provider and he makes all things Good. Thank you Pastor Wesley and the Alfred Street Baptist church for being the example. I know everything is not perfect but you guys give me hope through Christ Jesus. I am a faithful non member and I intend to even sew more seed towards this ministry that is doing the work of Christ. love you guys.

Since being on the Seek journey, I have learned just HOW important it is to pray before starting my day and inviting the Lord not only into my day, but all of my decisions, difficult conversations, etc. What I have also learned is the importance of putting on the full armor of God each day so that my mind and heart are protected. Finally, because I am only listening to sermons and gospel music during the day, I am now more cognizant of making sure that my eye/ear gate remain focused on Him.

Good evening everyone! Thank God for your grace and mercy and allowing me to see another day to Seek your face. All honor and glory to your precious name. Since SEEK23 started I have so much more energy, my lifestyle is changing and through prayer and fasting he has renewed me and brought me back from to where I wanna be. Bless ABSC and all the SEEK23 members.

When I began SEEK 2023 I already had a prayer list of individuals who I prayed for daily. As the days have gone by, additional people have been brought to my attention and added to my list. Today, as I read a text from a friend asking for prayer for a cousin, I asked the Lord "why is my list getting longer?" The answer wasn't immediate but when it came it was very clear. As I have drawn closer to God, seeking His face and committing more of my time and energies to know His will, He has honored me with the privileged opportunity to pray for others. If I lift Him up, He will draw others to Himself. So I am thankful and grateful to Him for enlarging my territory and for using SEEK 2023 to reveal this message to me.

How can I say thanks to God and Alfred Street BC for all that SEEK 2023 has done for me and others? One way is to encourage to "keep on keeping on." Pastor Wesley's prayer on 2/8/23 was shared with our Prayer Ministry and several clergy friends, including the preacher of our upcoming Feb 18 Prayer Conference. I asked each to pray with Pastor Wesley and not only listen to his heart cry (Psalm 130:1-2) but note his freedom and boldness in prayer. Too many of us still have "heard" about prayer, but we need to "see" it as God designed it. (Job 42:5) HALLELUJAH!

I am asking that you continue to pray for the restoration and healing of my lungs and the direction that God wants me to go if I should get a lung transplant or not. I am also asking the Lord to show me if he wants me to relocate back home or continue to stay where I'm at I cannot afford to turn from the gospel plow. Please keep me and my grandson in your prayers I am having some challenges right now and I'm asking for patience and tolerance with him because of my health challenges and some bitterness toward my daughter and being in his role with hell challenges. But I know that God is able to give me a clean heart and I desire to have a clean heart so that I can continue to serve God. I am asking God to show me how he wants me to serve and where he wants me to serve. Because this is truly a transition after being in Phoenix teaching and preaching for 20 years and I just want to finish the race but not without God please play for my daughter and our relationship to grow stronger and most of all our communication to be so much better that we learn how to listen to each other the love is there but communication is a barrier and I pray the same for me and my grandson that our communication gets better

Evening Pastor Wesley, While neither of us are in Mass anymore I continue to follow you and love the message you share. SEEK2023 has challenged me and I am so thankful in this moment. My TEDx talk just went live and I wanted to share. I give thanks to God. https://youtu.be/dvSq4Qv-JSg

I am not a member of Alfred Street Baptist Church and joined SEEK a week late. The first week without caffeine was torture. I had a hard time Getting out of bed in the morning and staying awake at work. Now, I don’t miss the caffeine and I don’t need the caffeine, so I have decided not to go back to caffeine when this is over, I do miss having a hot cup of coffee in the morning but from now on it will be decaf. I’ve also let go of the sugar which is a miracle for me but the longer I’m without sugar, the easier it is to be without it. My hope and prayer is to remain without sugar after this is over. Regarding social media, I would like to find a way to go back to social media on a very limited basis because I’m realizing how much time it was taking up in my life that I could have dedicated to other things that nurture my spirit land add joy to my life like mindfulness meditation, taking time to just be, simplifying my life and lifestyle so I’m not as busy, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, decluttering my home, so that it is a peaceful haven, and other things like that. Shutting out the social media world has been very good for my mental health. Even though I started a week late, I am very grateful I discovered this, I’m part of it, and I’m able to listen to the prayers each morning. Thank you so much for the blessing you are. May God continue to bless and lead you as you bless and lead others. From the heart, Chaplain Millicent. 🙏🏽❤️

I thank God for Seek 2023 and for Pastor J. Wesley and Ssek 2023 team. I participated last year and did better this year than I did last year still haven’t had any coffee and getting up early to pray and reading my journal and reading the Bible has been a big help in keeping things in perspective in my life.

I love you Lord

I have been listening to Pastor Wesley’s testimonies online & was excited to join the SEEK fast. During this fast I have been praying to see God move and experience Him in my life. I have drawn closer to God & I’m seeing His purpose manifest in my life. I also received a new job after of years of applying for different positions. My daughter received a fully paid internship jn Miami and my step father received a new job and doubled his salary. This fast has been a blessing to me and my family

God is breaking me in some areas of my life. While it hurts, I am genuinely excited about what's to come. May Almighty God remember each of you as you proceed to the end of this sacred journey.

I've been doing the fasts with ASBC for a few years now but this is the first year that I've really committed 100% and given my all. I would in past talk myself out of fasting for a whole day and only do half days. This year I asked God to really strengthen my mind and body to abstain for the full day. I believed that God answered my prayers as I've been doing the full day fast for 30 days now. I was in Richmond yesterday lobbying for prison reform bills when I saw an old acquaintance who said to me "OMG, you look so amazing!" She complimented that I had a glow about me and that something seemed different with me. Although my husband and son are incarcerated and the stress of that takes a toll on me sometimes, it was a blessing to hear her say I don't look like what I'm going through. I can only contribute that to getting closer to God with Seek 2023. I've always done devotionals but through the fast I actually pulled out my Bible and read the scriptures and passages for my devotionals in their entirety. I'm grateful for ASBC and I know God has and is doing a new thing in my life. I will also share my husband does the fast with me every year and even he's changing his outlook on his situation. Thank you Pastor Wesley and ASBC family. Continue to pray for us as I will for you and yours.

GM Seek sisters & brothers! I am grateful to be apart of this life changing. I have had some struggles staying on track with my devotional time,but I have been determine not to give up seeking God. I'm grateful that there has been some wonderful changes in my marriage and in me towards my husband. Please continue to pray for me and my husband to draw closer to each other and to the Lord. Asking a special prayer for my brother and grandson that the truth comes out about false charges against them both. Thank You

Spirit of the LIVING God is falling fresh through this fast and I believe it to be so on all of us who are seeking God in many many ways. Thank you Pastor Wesley for your leadership throughout this fast. Truly it’s an honor to say God is doing a new thing. Someone very close has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer but we are trusting in believing the very God we serve to do what only He can do. I speak LIFE in the name of Jesus. Believing this is not unto death. Lord will have His way and whatever that maybe we trust in His will. This fast has been amazing for me personally, each sermon, praise and worship and drawing closer to God through devotions has me saying hallelujah and thank you Lord throughout my day. God really is doing a new thing and I don’t want it to stop. Grateful for all of you who are on this seek journey with me there is so much strength in togetherness. Praying God will continue to substain all of us to finish to the end. First time fasting for 40 days, it hasn’t been easy but the sacrifice is teaching me discipline. Thank you ASBC for daily inspiration and encouragement to be more like Christ. To God Be The Glory. Love you all with the love of Christ.

Is it possible to be born again, again? I was raised in an active Christian home with grandparents who were church planters. Because it was a musical family, I sang in church, at revivals...you name it. I came to this country, met and married a wonderful Christian man, Dennis, and we had four incredible kids who are now young adults. As a couple, we raised our children, as we were raised, in an active Christian home. And that's just the thing. I was busy being active! Busy doing God's work, busy raising children, busy working...too busy to nurture my personal relationship with God. During the pandemic, our family started watching ASBC online, and were hooked. This year, Dennis and I decided to join SEEK, and boy oh boy, the turnaround is incredible. I feel I've been literally hit in the head with Matthew 6:33. Last night during my devotional time, I prayed, and poured myself on the alter before God, completely yielding my whole self and everything I am and have to Him. This morning during the corporate prayer, Pastor Wesley literally used exact phrases I used last night in my prayer, particularly, "my offering to you, God, is me, my very thoughts" etc. That's when I realized that was all He has been waiting for all these years, was me! Thank you, Lord, for confirmation. Please know that Dennis and I are praying for ASBC and its leadership, that you always remain smack dab in the center of His perfect will. God bless you all!

To all my brothers and sisters in Christ. The Lord has been so faithful to me that I can barely hold back the tears and the joy in my heart. This is my second year of fasting with Alfred Street and it is such a joy. I was so excited to get started that I practiced fasting starting in December! I talk a lot but now I tell everyone who will listen about the power of praying and fasting for the Lord! I lost a large federal contract in December and I worried for a few weeks about how I would continue to take care of my overhead employees, BUT GOD! HE has positioned me for greater contracts and the opportunities are coming in almost daily. The greatest way God is showing up is in my marriage. My husband and I are closer than we have ever been. This year he is fasting with me and on the prayer call every morning. This was my prayer for the last 12 months and now God is answering. Be patient God is not done yet!

Pastor Wesley, this 40 Day Fast has continued to open my eyes and changed my focus from other things to God. Each morning I wake up no later than 5:45am for the prayer call which is followed by journaling and reading God's Word and then I make it a habit to do the same prior to going to bed. Although I am resting less, I have so much energy and focus at work and especially at home. I have completed so many long overdue task that have needed to be done. My mother passed recently and I am able to make sure my dad is taken care of, along with my family and all done in "peace" and joy in my heart. Today on your prayer call, you spoke about tithing that resonated with me. I was giving a lot but not quite my 10% in tithing....I realized that if I gave an extra $87.50 per pay period, that I would in fact be giving God 10% of my gross pay. As I have always increased what I gave each year, I just never realized how little the "extra" was that would allow me to give my total 10%. I was so excited when I realize this and I have to say, "To God Be the Glory!" I thank you for your Prayers and Words of God's expectations and Goodness! May God continue to Bless you and ASBC!

Good morning Everyone! I wanna thank God for waking me up this morning! Every since I started SEEK23 , I have felt 100% better, my prayer life has increased and improved, I feel so much closer to God, he has opened my eyes and his love is strengthened me.The love and joy I feel in my heart Everytime I praise his name is indescribable. Thank you God for never leaving me. Thank You to Pastor Wesley and ASBC,God Bless you.

I’m so thankful for SEEK. I’ve seen two prayers answered in a mighty way. I’ve had dreams that showed me what God wanted me to do to help others. I’ve learned that the day can actually start without 1-2 cups of coffee. I’ve realized the day can end without a dessert. And, Amazon hasn’t been to my house. Thankful for this Fast.

Lori (my wife) and I love Alfred Street Baptist Church and Pastor Howard John Wesley! This seek journey every year provides an awesome opportunity to get closer to God and to set a solid foundation for a blessed year where we can be a blessing to others. This year has taken on more significance because I am praying for my kids to find and build loving lifelong relationships, praying for my wife’s complete joy, and praying to improve my health this year. God is in control and has a plan that my fast is allowing me to see clearly and follow faithfully. Thank you for helping us by teaching and providing the tools to build closer and deeper personal relationships with God. We are already at the end of week 4 (day 28), and I am looking forward to what God has to share with us over the next 12 days. Much Love❤️ Phil

I feel better mind, body and spirit. First and foremost my prayer is to hear God voice, follow his way and word. One of my prayers is financial breakthrough. When I tell you God has blessed me the last two weeks more than I had every hoped for, not that I had been asking for particular help, God always help me to makes ends meet from check to check, but I had some serious financial deadlines I had no idea how I was going to pay for them, and out of no where God bless me with Angels(friends) that volunteered to GIVE not load me money. Recently I found I have a nail in all four of my tires, I was planning on borrowing money and pay people back, or buy one tire at a time, God bless me with a Angel(friend) that sent me money that I didn't ask for that will cover getting tires. I have been struggling with blood pressure and cholesterol problems, so the fast came at the right time, I start eating right and going to the gym. That is just few of his many blessings and so many more. Under so much of the stress at my job, but it has subsided, I am now going to the gym everyday and I know that helps. I am sleeping better, I had insomnia. I could go on and on. I had not planned to do any fast this year, I hadn't watched Alfred street in several months. And one day while on youtube, I left the room and came back and Alfred street came up, and the Sunday Pastor Wesley spoke about Seek 2023, and why things are going so wrong, who moved away...not God, he spoke of distractions in your life, and hearing God voice, all those things were talking to me, so I decided to sign up, and my O my, I am glad I did. Thank You !!!

While watching that Jan. sermon and hearing Pastor talk about SEEK2023, before I knew it my fingers seemed sign me up, LOL! Feeling at peace and excited. Although I have committed to fasts before this time was different. Jan 11th came and I was like "what did I do". As quickly as that thought came it went. I heard that 6a prayer and I felt so committed. I kept saying "With my whole heart I'm committed, I want to hear God clearly with no doubt". Giving God all of the glory for this fast in this season. I clearly now understand He already prepared me in 2020, when He revealed the meaning of rest to me. Now, that He has my attention my eyes feel so open, my thoughts are at times a struggle, He's showing me more and I don't feel starving anymore during 6a to 6p. HOWEVER, this Daniel has hit different that the other times before. When it's time to eat my veggies and beans, I'm not able to finish all of what I prepared, LOL. Overall, I asked Jesus to help me during the day to incorporate more ways to read His word while at work. HE Answered my prayer. I was committed bc I didn't want this to be a diet as Pastor said, I want to hear God and understand Him by reading his word. Lastly, the attacks that others were feeling, I guess hurt more when a few family members thought I'm too literal with God's word. Meaning if I read that God said He'll do it, then I believed that He would. If I asked Jesus for His help today when things went wrong, afterwards it worked out way better and I believed I received His help. Why is my belief wrong to others? Isn't my walk unique to me? Answers: this fast has made me not have to fight other people's opinions, stay focus on His will, pray for other people more, bolder in my walk, seek Him to make the right decisions, increased my listening. IT is Jesus helping me, truly grow into my "Yes, Lord I'm your servant" faith. ASBC, Thank you for allowing me to join this journey with so many others. God Bless #40andForward

I am so grateful for Alfred Baptist church in this seek time of prayer. Praying several times a day and reading God's Word daily have put me in a closer to walk with God. I truly believe seek is helping me to deal with my brother's death in a better way. God is good all the time. Freddie Thomas ❤️

We serve an awesome God!!! I am participating in SEEK to deepen my relationship with my Lord and savior. Oh my how good it feels to get up and pray every morning and then continue to praise God after the prayer. Many mornings I just continue to praise God..I feel him in my spirit. I gave up sweets, which I love...when I am tempted, which I have been I think about my commitment, and I pray and ask God to help me not to get that cookie or piece of cake. I am really challenged with the social media, but I do know that it can take up to much time and takes away from the time I could be in the word...seeking God to continue to help me. I always honor God, but SEEK 2023 has drawn me closer to him by an increase in my devotion time, praying time. SEEK 2023 has also reminded me how important it is to reach out to others..one morning Pastor Wesley suggested that we reach out to others...so I sent a prayer out to several friends...a friend called and told me, she needed that prayer so much..she just lost her sister. Forty days seems long but by the grace of God Im gonna make it to the end..pressing on!!!

I thank God so much for allowing me to participate on this 40 Day Fast through Seek 2023. God has blessed me so much I really don’t know where to start. God has made the vision and path He has for my life much clearer. Not only has God blessed me financially, I was able to give $500 on the 20th Day and will give another $500 on the 40th Day, to support the ministry of “Children whom are being sexually used and abused against their will”. Seven years ago the results of my heart was not the best after an enormous amount of testing, I was informed by my Doctor that my heart was hardening and becoming stiff) however a couple of days ago I went in for another echo gram because I had an abnormal “EKG” two days later I went for my results and the Doctor was amazed (she couldn’t believe what she was reading) the Doctor said my heart was so strong and healthy, there were no signs of my heart stiffening, or hardening, that my heart was in excellent condition, the Doctor couldn’t believe what she was seeing or reading. My Doctor asked me what had change, I said well, I do eat healthier and workout more, but I have a stronger relationship with God, better prayer life, and mentioned how I completely surrendered my life to the Will and Plans that God has for me. My Cardiologist stood there with her mouth wide open, I just got up from the chair, walked around her and sad, God Bless you, have a wonderful day.

I will not look at negative commentaries on social media.

I continue to be thankful for SEEK & the daily prayers, which I get on playback. Today was particularly rough - not with huge dangers, but with smaller disappointments going wrong. One on top of the other. I wanted to crawl under covers & not come out. But, thanks to my fast of 'signing out' [SM / daily news shows / TV ] and tuning INTO the prayer calls, I know my "I AM" God will sustain me past this temporary valley. Specifically, the Tues Jan 31 call: I refuse to let the Enemy take the joy of what HAS gone well, eventho today some did not. At least not yet; I trust that God will show me the way. Thanks AFBC

Thank you Heavenly Father for allowing me to see another day! I thank you for your Grace and Mercy. Everyday since SEEK23 started I feel closer to the Lord, my prayer life has increased and I’ve learned to humble myself and turn everything over to the Lord . He gives me peace and comfort. I’m truly blessed for this opportunity to be part of ASBC SEEK23.

At the beginning of this fast, I asked for 2 things: 1. That my relationship with a close family member be restored. It has been praise God. 2. That my son gets help in his situation and it’s beginning to happen! Thank you Pastor Wesley and Alfred Street for SEEK23. I have not only grown closer to God, but my fasting has spread into other Alf my life and it feels so wonderful! God continue to bless us all on this journey!

Before leaving France in January I had lost my contract. It seemed impossible for me to get home, get my condo, and have money left over. Somehow, some way God did it. Not only do I have my beautiful new condo I now have a new career. I will be working in Marriott’s Corporate Office as Senior Assistant to a Senior Vice President. My salary is also $10K over the max range. God did it!

I am forever grateful to God, Our Lord Jesus Christ and Alfred Street Church family. Seek 2023 has been life changing. My thoughts are more focused on seeking God first. I actually hear more clearly, and love spending more time with Him in worship and prayer. I can truly say God’s love is the most powerful force in the universe!

Thankful for the opportunity to pray for people and those who request prayer even during Seek 2023.Pray that God's will be done in these people's live Teresa and Tom from Nebraskaad they recover from sickness.She says thank you. Will the cancer is taking over his body Two students Joel who is a victim of bullying by teasing. He is also new and to Arizona and misses Texas. Joel who is seeking attention and bullies other students cyber space bullying and other forms of bullying. Betty Duncan as she continue to recover from Covid.Noah and Christina salvation.

I believe God had been speaking, and especially ministered to me through the prayers, Scripture and songs in this video: https://www.wevideo.com/view/2938057485 Hopefully it will be a blessing to others as well.

Praise, glory and honor unto God, our heavenly father, I am so thanks and grateful for His mercy and His loving spirit that dwells inside of me. In the beginning, I asked God to allow me to see myself as He sees me and He came to show me so much. I always thought so many times what I couldn’t do and I knew all along God was telling me I could. I see it now I trust even more, I am so grateful for the Trinity. It’s a wonderful feeling to just sit in the still quietness and wait for His presence. A closer walk with God is taking me to my destiny. I can do all things through Christ Jesus, who strengthens me!

This fast has really shown me how I was neglecting God. God has revealed areas in my life that I need to work on. The TV got much more of my attention than God. I strive to give God my attention and submit to him to direct my thoughts. I pray hears the yearns of my heart.

Hello, My church ended their 21 days on Saturday however my cousin shared Alfred Streets SEEK 2023 40 day and I was led to do that beyond my churches. I have struggled with maintaining a healthy weight after losing for years and never fast about it because I was taught that we shouldn't fast to lose weight which I am not but I am fasting to grow stronger in my faith and for the Holy Spirit to show me how to eat and what to eat for me so I can be fit Spirit, Body and Soul. I have a good exercise program so that's not an issue. Last year I found a group called Weight Loss God's Way and that helped me uncover some suppressed roots of hurts and trauma that caused me to emotionally eat and God has healed me from it. Now God is revealing to me what foods work for me and against me and I'm no.lomger focusing on the scale but allowing my spirit to be led by the Holy Spirit in all areas of my life. Reaching this point has given me a peace I cannot explain. I no longer think about the next meal and I now eat when my body says too not based on the society norms for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will be leading a small group called Lay Aside the Weight starting February 21st, though I was reluctant to since I am still a work in process with this however I heard the small voice of God say, "As you help others, I will help you overcome this for life". That promise was enough for me. I know the enemy won't be happy however I know if submit to God, utilize my support systems, then I can resist the temptation of overeating. The lessons you all provided for each day are a great reminder that God is concerned about every aspect of our lives and I intend to take advantage of it all because he's a Good Good Father and I am hid daughter. 💯🙌🏾💃🏾

I’m so grateful for Seek2023 and strengthening my relationship with God. I feel such peace with all situations I’m faced with, because I know God will fight my battles! Removing the TV, social media and following the healthy eating has removed so much noise from my life! Allows me to spend more time seeking, and praising God! Grateful for ASBC, Pastor Wesley, and Seek2023!!

This is my first time being apart of SEEK2023, I have been struggling the last couple of days. God is still good and faithful I am working on being humble with my supervisor its been a challenged. I have learned to keep God first and continue to write in my SEEK journal its been helping me a lot and listening to Pastor Wesley daily prayer each morning it helps. I give GOD ALL THE GLORY

Rev. Dr. Wesley, thank you for leading us on this seek journey. While, I strive to be kind to others, I noticed over the past three weeks, I am praying for others more, encouraging others and even dropping scripture to those in need. The amazing part is that I am receiving notes from many that acknowledge that a kind word from me helped their day! God has blessed me in all Aspects of my life, even in the challenging times. I need to be a blessing to others! Thank you ASBC and My 2023 Seek Squad

I’m so excited, it’s amazing putting time with God and God back in His proper place. The peace it brings is amazing! And no caffeine or night sweats - come on Jesus! There’s some things we won’t go back to.

Praise Jesus, I’m reading my Bible more, reading Christian literature more. My eating habits has changed. Hallelujah! I my health has improved. To God be all the glory. Thank you Pastor Wesley and Alfred street for allowing me to partner with you in this journey.🙌🏾🙌🏾

Praise report - My Godmother, Victoria had a brain bleed 2 months ago. She has been in the hospital and on a ventilator since then. She has gone through 2 surgeries and some complications but my family has been trusting God for her healing which is my #1 prayer request for SEEK 2023. On January 15th the doctor on the medical team caring for her called me to report that based on the neurology team's report they do not believe she will recovery or be able to come off the ventilator. They wanted the family to start making end of life decisions and on Jan. 19th the palliative team from the hospital called to set up a family meeting to assist with our deciding what is best for my Godmother. So we set up a meeting for January 23rd to discuss her case with the Neuro, Medical and Palliative team. My family was depressed, I felt helpless and confused but thank God for the daily 6Am morning prayers and friends/families praying along with us. Coincidentally, Jan.23rd was day 13th and the devotional journal for that morning was New Wellness by Rev. Ty Jones. I prayed, cried, and claimed God's wellness for my Godmother. When my sister and I met the hospital team that afternoon, we were waiting to hear the worst case senario. However, the Neurologist that had said my Godmother would be in a vegetative state on week earlier started giving us a new report that he has began seeing some improvements in her condition and now believes she has a good chnace of coming off the ventilator. Holy God, what?! Long story short my Godmother has been making little progress each and every day. She is becomming more alert and instead of planning end of life care we are working towards her hospital discharge plan to a longterm rehab facility. To God be ALL the glory for His faithfulness hearing the prayers of His children. Praise God for SEEK 2023 and Dr. Howard-John Wesley's vision to stay committed and connected to GOD's Will. AMEN! Please continue to keep us in your prayers for her miraculous healing.

I am beginning to feel amazingly better spiritually, physically and mentally in the presence of God. My thoughts use to be negative all the time. Now, my thoughts are positive and my attitude toward this race called life is great. Praise God!

Today’s devotion really spoke to my soul. It was confirmation that even at 65 you can take on a new assignment when God has spoken to you. Praise God. My wife and I are enjoying SEEK 2023.

Hello sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus. There are no words that I can say about what SEEK2023 has done in my life. Yes, I have fallen down on my readings. Yes, I ate something that I shouldn't have. Yes, I have been on Facebook. But, I haven't missed one day of prayer at 6 am--getting up at 5:30am! I haven't missed a minute praising my Savior whenever I can. I haven't missed my early morning programs on TV from 8am to 11am. That was always part of my daily seeking God life! Where have I changed inside? The Holy Spirit has aligned my spirit with Him more, and to understand the walk of my senior parents without losing patience. I feel so much better in my body. More aware of the Spirit in me. Less anxious, and worried about the future. I am trusting God. I want to grow in that trust. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jesus. Thank you Pastor Howard John Wesley. I have actually recorded some of your prayers on my cell phone to keep close. Can you please produce a library of the 40-days of SEEK 2023 prayers. They are a life line. Thanks to all the ministry staff, administrators, and anyone who had their hands in organizing this. God bless you all and keep you safe. No weapon formed against us will ever, ever, prosper. Glory and honor to the King of Kings now and forever more! Love.

So greatly appreciate the Peace in the midst of my issues.

I am doing a hybrid of the fasts. Beginning to really recognize, acknowledge and be more disciplined with discretionary spending and eating. Friday the 27th was a banner day. I had perfect EKG, pulse and blood pressure. Best of all I had lost 7 lbs!! For the first time in years I got just below 170 lbs and BMI, just below 30. No fried foods, able to resist taking even one from my friend's plate. I still struggle with devotions, sitting still. Easier when I am walking. Also struggle working thru clutter but I am determined. Praising God for my successes and trusting Him thru my challenges.

Thank God that even when I stumble and fall I can get back up. During this Seek fast I have had some challenges but God keeps standing tall in my life.May you be encouraged to see God is standing tall in your life no matter what.

Good Morning and Praise God! This is my second time participating in Seek and last year I was not fully committed. I am much more committed this year...Thank God. I'm asking prayers for my marriage it's been a real struggle since I started Seek. We (I) need some help. Thank you and God continue to Bless All.

I'm finding out each day that God is with me and speaking to me along the way. Oh what a joy it is to have this personal feeling and relationship with God. It's a joy that I can not explain , an overwhelming joy. I can feel his spirit in all that I do. I can feel him leading and guiding me along the way as a caregiver to my wife during her illness that keeps her in severe pain each day. Prayer has given me the ability to keep the faith and walk by it each day. No obstacle can turn me away from the Love that I have for GOD. when GOD speaks, I can hear him. During one of my daily prayers, I heard GOD, say in a sweet still voice, " I got this".

When God says that He will fight our battles, He means all of them…big, little, and everywhere in between. There was a dispute awaiting me and I was readying myself. I even had a little ego about it, thinking that I would have an answer to every claim that would come before me. But then, I prayed to God asking for His forgiveness that I knew best and asked Him to fight this battle. Hours later, although I had the contract printed out on the table, I never had to lift it up. A call came from the company with an apology. All I could do was praise God. Once again, He showed His faithfulness. Once again He showered me with grace and mercy. Once again God showed that He is God. He is God not just over big things, He is God not just over little things; but our God is God over all things. All power is in His hands and all we need to do is trust Him. Dear God, keep us humble and teach us to turn to You in all things. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Please continue to pray for Deacon Grace Albritton a faithful servant of ASBC.

Good morning I have a prayer request and I'm asking that God's will be done in my life. I have some challenges with my left lung and I'm starting to have challenges with my right lung. My new doctor wants me to have a lung transplant. It has shown that my long volume has decreased 19% within one year possibly 2 years. I am in a lot of discomfort sometimes daily and every other day. I am persevering reading study in God's word praying and serving in the capacity that God allows me to serve. Please pray for me in the liver environment that I'm in because there is mold an issues with water that has a sewer smell. I am challenged with being in other unhealthy environmental factors. I am asking for prayer that God will guide me in being an advocate for myself and others who are afraid to speak up about the unhealthy living environment that they live in. I would like to see a lawyer and or turn the information in to the department of Health and whoever handles unhealthy water and sewage issues.

Good morning Alfred Street Church/Seeking God Members, ever since I started fasting prayer in Seeking God 2023 I have had some challenges ups and downs. But nevertheless it has proven to be an opportunity to continue to persevere in the calling that God is placed upon my life. To continue to preach teach and study his word. I thank God that even my grandson who is only 13 years old is fasting and praying and seeking God. I have had to make some adjustments to where it's age-appropriate and safe for him. We have both decided to give up sweets and candy other than natural sugar. We are both not spending 3/4 of the time of being on any kind of social media platform only as it relates to worship services and studying scripture. He is now growing in his prayer life and daily discipline of reading the word of God and praying other than just in the morning. He has implemented watching more movies and videos about some of the books in the Bible. We have more family time together and are in cooperating prayer and scripture. I am hoping and praying at the end of the fast that I will be familiar with God's voice again and continuing to grow and seek a personal relationship with the Lord and study in his word rightly dividing the word of Truth at the level that he is expecting me to be at this time in my life. I am seeking to know where God wants me to move and serve him. I want to know if God wants me to have a lung transplant. My grandson simply just wants to know God and hear his voice.

My faith in God has increased to higher levels. I am at peace with waiting for God to do His will. Several weeks ago, my child was to have a procedure done in a New York hospital. Three days be for the procedure, the nurses went on strike at the hospital. But God assured me in my spirit that the strike would be resolved. Praise God at the 12th hour, nurses agreed to a contract. my daughter had the procedure and is doing well. What a great and dependable God we serve. Seek has increase my awareness and uncluttered my heart to love and know God better.

Good evening fellow Seekers! I am truly grateful to God for leading me to this church via online. It's day 19 and God has shown me that He is honoring my seek journey with many unexpected blessings, instruction, clarity, rest & peace. GOD truly knows what you need and when you need it! It's to Him that I give all the glory! Hallelujah!

I thought my desire to return to live in the DMV was selfish, just because I desired it. Today, as I eschewed television and, rather, listened to ASBC sermons, I realized that my family needs an Ishmael, and that is what drives me. My family is in the DMV. Thank you for the strength and power of corporate fasting and prayers as I seek God’s favor for the right and perfect opportunity to return to live in the DMV. Please save me a seat at ASBC. See you soon!!!!

Good morning Pastor Howard, I need prayer for my son Gregory whose car was stolen in December 2022 from his girlfriend's house in Prince Williams County, VA. He called the Police at 6 am, and at 11 am, the Police had yet to come. Because my son had a licensed gun in his car, later that afternoon called the Police and lied, stating that his parent was fighting so the Police would come quickly. The Police were angry because he made false accusations in an attempt to go immediately. A week later, he received a call from the Police stating Gregory was being charged with making a false CALL to the Police because it is illegal in VA. Gregory was charged with a misdemeanor and is due in Court on January 31, 2023. My son is an African American and does not have a criminal record. We need prayer that he's not going to be a part of the criminal justice system for lack of judgment. I pray this case will be dismissed.

Please pray for my son Markus Allen in Edgefield, SC. Pray as you are led by Holy Spirit to do so. Thank you.

Praying that God will work in the hearts of those responsible for selecting a new pastor; that God will send His cleansing throughout the church and the power of the Holy Spirit will rest, rule and abide.

I am so glad I made the decision to participate in SEEK 2023. Participating has caused me to really discipline myself as I am getting closer to God and allowing myself to be still and hear Him speak to me. The scripture that continuously permeates my mind and spirit is Matthew 6:33, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you”. SEEK 2023 has caused me to deliberately seek God. I know that every facet of mine and my family’s life will be changed. I am getting closer to the Lord and I praise God for Alfred Street.

Thanks to be God for me to be apart of ASBC family 🙏🏽 This is my second seek; I have been blessed in every part of my life through the journey. There is nothing like being close to God🙌🏽.pastor Wesley’s sermon from 2 weeks ago stated , “bad things happen when we stray from God.” Asking god to give me the straight and patients for me stay focus on him🙏🏽 I know his eyes always watching me. Additionally, love waking up early to hear god’s people sharing testimony and the morning prayers by our pastor!! After that Go out and concur the world with god on my side!!

Asking prayers for the working class families who are finding themselves homeless because they can't afford to pay skyrocketing rental cost and unfortunately are not in a position to purchase a home. Asking prayers for my father who has been diagnosed with CHF and due to his age (83) can't be placed on the heart transplant list. God continues to bless, heal and redeem my Dad through all health and medical odds and his family is so grateful.

My seek 2023 are financial and social media. The social media I am doing well with especially for a person who spend hours on on FB, Youtube, TikTok and Instagram. The financial part I did good with my spendings and seen a difference in my monthly income. I messed up yesterday and spent some of the money I saved. I feel I broke the commitment I had with the fast and God. I did put some money in a saving and did not touch but it is still bothering me. I will get up and kick the dirt from my feet and get back on the horse. I pray for forgiveness and to do better with the commitment to God and the fast.

Last year, my Dad, Kenneth Jackson, was diagnosed with dementia which quickly progressed to him requiring 24×7 assistance. Having Dad move to a care facility was a difficult decision for me and my siblings for a number of reasons, one of which was the significant expense. My prayer has been for God to watch over and protect Dad while he's in the facility. This morning, God went above and beyond my prayer by granting the Medicare approval needed to cover the $40K bill and future care. This is just another reminder of how God IS listening to our prayers as well as what's in our hearts. Beyond the physical covering for Dad, God fulfilled the financial need as well!! SHABACH! HALLELUJAH!!

Last week, God showed Himself to be a provider. I am a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, and I hold the position of a state leader within the organization. My administration and I are preparing for a conference in February, and last week, as we prepared, I was informed that we needed more funds to hold up our payment agreement on a hotel space for the conference. So you can understand, let me take you back to the beginning of January. As I did last year, I wrote to an Indian tribe here in Oklahoma who sponsored and supported an event (not the conference) we did last year, asking them to sponsor again this year. As of last week, I had yet to hear from them. Since SEEK started, I have been seeking God's face for myself in the area of understanding the office of prophecy and seeking God for my position in my fraternity and guidance as a state leader. Just last week, after getting the news that we couldn't uphold our agreement with the hotel for our conference, I began to seek God for direction and a way to handle that situation. I professionally contacted the hotel and reassured them we would honor our payment arrangement, and they graciously heard me and extended grace. However, I still needed to figure out how we would honor that agreement. While driving to another state to support another state leader in my fraternity last week, I checked my emails. The email I sent to the Indian tribe at the beginning of January was answered. It was the tribe agreeing to not only sponsor our event but assure us that they would always support us in all endeavors we do in Oklahoma. With those words, an agreement to pay us $10,000 was added. I had forgotten about the request I made at the beginning of January because weeks had passed with no reply from the Indian tribe. I must confess, I doubted that we could make good on the agreement, but even amid doubt that set into my mind, I still was SEEKING God for guidance, direction, and, as the old folks say, "a ram in the bush" for the situation. And in due time, He provided. The agreement I made with the hotel was that we would pay a portion the day I received the email, and the other portion we would pay the following week. I give God all the glory and praise, for He is always an on-time God.

God Bless each and everyone that is participating in Seek 2023. Please take a moment to read and re-read Matthew 7: 7-8. Also, listen to Pastor Wesley’s sermons dated January 27, 2019 “The Rewards of Fasting”. Lastly, take a look at the CAYA service dated Dec 17, 2017. Yes, I went to the vault to find these teachings. They will add a blessing to your day.

I have been participating in SEEK and when I tell you this journey has blown my mind it has. I have seen God move so quickly on things. I lost my job during this journey however I was asking God to close doors that needed to be closed and open doors that needed to be opened immediately after that sermon. So I believe and KNOW God will do just what he has said plans to prosper me and hope for my future. I have also become closer to Christ during this journey reading the scriptures and worshipping more. Thank YOU GOD for this journey of SEEK with others and the ALFRED street family!

All Glory and Praises to God! I’m so thankful for SEEK23 and the fast, It’s helping me to grow stronger spiritually and my faith continues to grow. When I’m weak and I want that sweet or soda,God gives me the strength to say No and stay focused on what’s important.Thank you ASBC.

I am learning through SEEK 2023 that I don't have to start my relationship with my LORD GOD all over. GOD is showing me that I can start.keep and renew my relationship with him right here right now. I have been reminded that GOD has never left me, that he has always been with me through his GRACE and MERCY ! I am so glad to know of his healing power and authority in always , in every circumstance of my life. I pray that GOD continues to lead me , so that I can tell others about his son JESUS. I feel that I can tell others about JESUS who is in my heart and GOD that is in my life. It is a blessing to be involved and active in the word of GOD. I continue to keep my heart open so that GOD can use my vessel as a living witness as to what he can do, because he did it for me. Our GOD reigns above every name.

The topic was Mercy For Today After prayer at 6:00 and completing the days journal. I took out my pen and paper To add up what should have been in my bank account because I ordered needed drinking water I'm kidney patient,I found I had overdrawn my account and retirement check wasn't due until the following day panicked set in,I decided to call the bank when the balanced came up,my monthly check was in included in the Balance,this has never happened before between the tears and thanking God all I could think about was the topic for that day.MERCY FOR TODAY.

I love seeing how God is growing me and showing his faithfulness in my life.

Praise God! My husband, two preteen daughters, and I are on the SEEK Fast. I have enjoyed the devotionals, the “Quality Time” with God and my family, BUT most IMPORTANTLY I enjoy stepping on the scale. I’ve lost almost six pounds and I’m back in my size 6 jeans! Hallelujah Saints!

Praise God I can't deny God Is showing up and showing out. Once I put a prayer request out into the atmosphere God shows up. Thank you Heavenly Father praise His Holy name. I'm even having dreams and visions like Pastor Wesley spoke of. I'm so thankful to the Rev.Dr. Wesley and the ASB Church for the shared content of Seek2023!!!

Greetings. PLEASE PRAY for and with me that God will give me grant me forgiveness in mismanagement of His funds. I’m four months behind in my mortgage and I ask God’s forgiveness and grace to keep my home and to restore a closer relationship with Him in Jesus’s name. Amen

I am so thankful that I have been able to fast along with my Church family to SEEK God. For a few years now, I have been contemplating a job change. I needed a nudge and received a kick. I prayed and just let go. I did not know where to start. God lined up the right people for me to talk to, and not only is my last day on the job at the end of this month, I have an incredible opportunity which I start in 10 days. I was afraid to let go but staying focused on God, being reminded of His promises, and countering fear with Faith, it's all come together better than I would have hoped. Abba Father, you showed out as you always do and I adore you!!!

I just want to say thank you lord!! This feasting is really bringing out things in me every day with more to come ! We sever a God . I am going to keep on looking up ! Thank You Jesus 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️

I resigned from my job on 12/31 because I am SEEKing a new career (after 30 years in the finance and accounting arena). The organization then asked if I would consider being the Director of Events which has been a dream of mine for years!! Now I get to stay employed and learn and pursue my dream job…YAY!!!

Dear lord my humble prayer is that I am able to find a new job that I love as I attempt to relocate to the DMV.

Grace and Peace I am requesting prayer for Total Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Healing. Having been Challenged With Physical Good Health And Wellness For Over 7 Years Has Been Exhausting On Every Level On My Life. Chronic Pain Without "Conclusive Answers", Continuous Tests And Procedures And Lake Of Medication Due To Unbearable Side Effects, Have Made This Journey Lonely, Desperate Any In Some Instances Hopeless. Prayers For "Answers" and Restored Health Is My Plea. Prayers For Comfort, Strength, Peace And Human Support Are My Desires "While In The Waiting Room."

I’m excited to be on this 40- day fast. I was led to do the financial fast and I also gave up coffee and sweets. This has transformed my relationship with spending. I can see how often I would stop and get Starbucks , or a salad or sandwich while away from home. But the prompting of God’s Spirit has reminded me “that’s discretionary” and “no you don’t need to order an item on Amazon”. Funny thing-I was about to order some SEEK merchandise and “no” that’s discretionary-came to mind! I had to click off the site and go back to my fasting 😅. This has been life changing. I am enjoying dreaming while sleeping…nothing profound, just pleasant dreams; but I know this is a prelude to something spiritual. I am enjoying communing with God and hearing Him speak even though I haven’t asked for a response. Thank you all who organized this spiritual journey. Being on the west coast, I dial in for the recording of the 6 AM prayer call, rather than attempt a 3 AM Call time. God bless everyone in this journey!!

I am a part time teller. Last week I miscounted a deposit and I was out of balance $6300. I called my two sisters we were in agreement that the people who made the deposit would be honest and tell the truth regarding their deposit. At this point, it was their word against mine, because I had given them their receipt and let them walk out the door. Well, God came through for me. The customer was honest, called us back to say confirm the oversight on their part. But still short $200. I believe that God would’ve given it all back, if I had not wavered. Praise Jesus.

SEEK 2023 has been an amazing experience so far! I feel better all over and have been able to feed myself spiritually and I believe I am learning more how God speaks to me and how to train my ears to God’s still, small voice. Please pray for me as I am facing an eviction notice. On Monday, I received a 72 hour eviction notice and by Thursday I must come up with a little over $3,000. I honestly am not worried at all about it. I know God is going to come through. As a matter of fact, I’m really just excited to see how He will provide!!

Praise be to God! God is truly showing Himself strong during SEEK2023! First, my adult son, who is on my prayer list and who lives with me, after one of our nonsensical arguments, humbled himself later and came over to me and APOLOGIZED! He's NEVER done that before, ever! The shift and breakthroughs that I have been seeking God for have begun to manifest! Second, I asked something far-fetched from my HR department, a long shot, not expecting a good result, and got a yes to my request. They came back and said it will take a while to implement because they have NEVER done it before, but I should expect it in my paycheck in three weeks! Third, I wanted to do some home improvement in my house. The day before the fast started, I went to the home improvement store just to look around for inspiration. By divine appointment, a man walks up to me and starts a conversation about what I was doing. After I told him, he offered me a terrific price to do the job. I prayed about it, felt peace, and hired him to do the job -- months before I was expecting to because I didn't think I had the funds yet. The FOLLOWING week he came to do the job, finished in the four days promised, and did a great job. Something that was just a thought in my mind God brought to fruition SOONER than I even imagined! Praise God!

God bless ASBC for Seek 2023. This time of fasting & prayer was really needed for me to draw close to Christ. I am expecting great things during SEEK 2023. Jesus is my source and nothing on earth can compare to how magnificent, powerful & loving as our King of Kings. #teamChrist247365 ralstonjay1@yahoo.com

God has sustained me after being let go from work last year January 31, 2022 God closed the door. God then opened doors for me to continue working on my small business from home. Bills were getting behind, I exhausted my unemployment benefits and our marriage is going through a legal crisis. Through all of this God said He is the God of ANSWERS and that problems only come because of the ANSWERS He provides for me. Isa 65:24 - “It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Last week I had $13 in my account and I needed to get gas. I drive over 40 miles a day to and from work and I knew I wasn't going to have enough gas to get back & forth the next day. That morning as I drove to work I prayed "God I don't know where the money is going to come from, but I need to get gas for tomorrow. Please help me out. Thank You!" Didn't think about it the rest of the day. At 6pm I put my bag on my shoulder to leave the office and I get a notification I got a direct deposit!!! I literally forgot I needed to get gas until I checked my account wondering where this money came from when I wasn't scheduled to get paid for 2 more days. God heard my prayer!!!! All I could do was repeatedly thank Him! He is so good!!

Hello Seekers, I chose to join Seek2023 this year because I'm THE caregiver for my roommate who not only has Stage 3 bone cancer, she suffers from a condition called gastroparesis. This condition causes her not to be able to keep food down or in long enough to take advantage of the nutrients, so she's on a feeding tube to save her life. Her name is Carole Brooks and I solicit your prayers for miraculous healing. We have been best friends for 21 years and I'm fasting to increase my faith in God's will for her healing, here in the land of the living or in Glory.

I began SEEK to draw nearer to God and to hear His voice. I am praying for healing and reconciliation for my family. Today I was contacted by a neice who shared family information with me. While some of it was distressful, I was able to witness and share scripture to assist her with a problem. This was a sign to me to continue as best I can (I am diabetic) because it hasn't been easy. But, Saints, it is definitely worth it. I now have to include physical healing for family members, but my God is Able

My Son was accepted into not 1 but 3 colleges/universities. God is good all the time.
