Amen....thanku for your truth...Jesus is gracious and merciful...praise be Jesus
Thanku
I've experienced this.
Who is this person? I want to hear more from him
40:59 i wonder what is still bothering him...
Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to get them, anyone?
doc.jeanne is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Is on Instgram?
Yesss
I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
I was an atheist. I took some LSD and started to perceive that death was all around me. I felt like everything was dead and I started to freak out. I was in my living room. There was a patio sliding door that had drapery on it. My head was bowed and I was crying out to God to help me. When I raised my head, even though that patio door was closed, the drapery was blowing in like there was a wind outside and I felt like I was in a dollhouse and there was the huge presence of God outside. I came down from that drug right away and from that experience found a belief that there really is a God. I was no longer an atheist. I was not born again at that point though but my search for my creator began. After years of hard searching, He led me to true information that made me realize I was a sinner in need of saving. I got down on my knees and asked God to forgive me for all of my sins past present and future and to save me. I was 23. I’m now 75 and I’ve not looked back. He rebuilt my life and has been with me in the good times and in the hard times. He is a faithful loving merciful God. Call on Him in sincerity and need. He will save you and be your best friend, Lord and Savior. There are only two kingdoms: God, His Son, the Holy Spirt and Satan’s. Choose life in Christ.
WoW...just WoW. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful testimony. God bless you
Wow Glory to God!!!
Love ya brutha!!
Amen, I’m 22 still learning the truth
"Every breath I'm getting right now is from God so it needs to be used to glorify God" that's too powerful, i cried
I also cried
yeah. that hit...
Yes, brother... the love of God is unlike any other love. I cry just thinking about his redemption for all the bad things I've done...❤
I watched a video earlier about a brother describing his experience in hell. He stated that it was a struggle to breathe. God created man and breathed life into us. Remember there is no life in hell
What confuses me is why? Not that glorifying god is not the right thing to do, but why is it the ONLY right thing to do? To the point that this guy didn’t even want to preach for fear that he wasn’t worshiping right. I’m not saying any of this is wrong but I feel like there’s a piece I am missing
Psychedelics have the ability to induce profound altered states of consciousness.
True, it helped me in facilitating deep emotional processing and introspection.
Do you know where i can get one? I really need this shit to clear my head.
I got mine from dr.stolly
Is he on Instgram?
Yes, Dr.stolly saved my cousin from bipolar disorder and some addiction. It has a lot of potential benefits.
Wow. I was homeless in 2017 for 6 months, living in my Ford Explorer, with my two cats. I had battled addiction and mental illness for 21 years. I cried out to Jesus and He delivered me from the addiction and mental illness. I got off of disability and went back to work, after not working for 13 years. Glory to God! Awesome brother 🙌
Amanda!!! This little comment here has brought me to tears; due to trauma not chemical addiction, I have also been on SSDI for going on a decade now, and I’ve wanted to work because never fully accepted “being disabled” and yet now understand that this period is part of Gods plan for me, but to know that I can be more fully healed and maybe someday work again? I want to work for Him sooooo much more than I wanna do anything, and yet also wish to work doing whatever He leads me to so I can have ie security that I can afford the vet/dr/etc…so this is very inspiring. (And even as I type this, he says “God hands you literally every breath you have. I’m in HIS hand.” and I realize; I maybe don’t NEED a vet a dr money to fix a leaking roof etc, for God can provide allllllll things, that no money or drugs ever can…)
@@nadirabotwin7435 It is truth! He doesn't have any limits. I will pray 🌸. It is difficult being on disability. Blessings in Jesus Name to you always🙌. I am going to pray right now!
God bless you Amanda!
Glory to God! Praying for whoever is going through something!
@Momma Bear Amen❤️
I smoke a lot of weed and rarely consume alcohol… after hearing this testimony and feeling the fear in his voice. I’m making the choice today to stop smoking and drinking. I needed to hear these words. THANK YOU GOD
You go man , hopefully wisdom comes to you so not only you quit those things out of fear but that you meet God and his presence 🙏🏽! I am not religious , i know he exist and he has saved me countless times , i still haven’t met jesus but we will one day , great steps you taken
Yes Joe God can give you so much more than anything in this world 🌎 trust Jesus
1 peter 5:8
I had his same experience. Same experience but from weed. I told God ‘I will quit but I can’t do it without you.’
You can do it man. It’s been 8 months for me and I’m happier than ever. Let me know if you want help, we’re all a prayer away!
That’s why the testimonies are so powerful. If ONE person turns away, the heavens rejoice
“When you have an encounter with Jesus by His own authority and not your own, it’s pure and no side effect”. This line gives my heart courage and liberty ❤❤🎉
Jesus saved my life from a near fatal spirit attack. I was deep in the New Age and witchcraft and after it, I gave myself to Jesus. When this was happening, I only called out to Jesus because He was last resort before death. He saved me, a sinner, no matter how much I ignored Him. It's only after that experience do I realise how we are surrounded by darkness and we must give ourselves to Christ and no other. My life has totally changed ever since. Around the same time of this experience, a friends daughter had a dream that I died, standing in the exact spot of where this encounter happened, only that in the dream, I actually died, and my corpse was found rotting 3 days later. I believe had I not called out for Jesus to help me, this was going to be the result. Praise you Lord Jesus. I surrender my life to you forever xxx
Hallelujah
God is so good!!
Jesus Christ saves and He is returning very soon!
lool :D
i went to highschool with this guy and was in a rehab with him when we were teenagers. This is the most amazing transformation and story of redemption i think ive ever seen and it is so inspiring and so motivating. you could call it chace or coincidence i randomly found this video but we know better. keep killing it josh
Praise the lord. Hope you’re doing better yourself.
Ima tell you right now, God loves using what we call “coincidence”.
@@FlockOfYahweh The entire month of September for me was a constant stream of "coincidence", then I had my experience being baptized/inundated with the Holy Spirit on the 19th. It was the most amazing experience I've ever had in my entire life, just pure love and bliss. It was like an ocean being poured into a tiny cup.
Hi when I smoke weed I feel like God.. Honestly having a spirit breakthrough on God . What I've learnt:
Devil broken up = D evil
Also. = De vil (The Villan)
Devil spelt backwards = Lived meaning Dead
Etc .. The codes I'm cracking
100% god there’s no other way
Two months away from 17 years clean , He has created a new man in me !!! Glory to God !!!
Great
👏.....13 years of Sobriety for me🤩
Michael great job you are an inspiration to others!
!
So he inspired you to get clean 17 years ago.. im confused?
" It's just enough truth to keep you going down the rabbit hole, and just enough lie to keep you bound."....Well said, sir.
My favourite line.
You have to be pretty ignorant to think that’s well said about psychedelics
@ganglestank Have you suffered through addiction? Are you familiar with the snares of the devil? I took a brief inventory of your channel , and it screams im a 20 year old stoner with little to no creativity. How about you keep your judgmental comments locked away in that empty shell you call a head.
@@ganglestankI think a lot of religion is perspective. Either side people convince themselves of their beliefs, confirmation bias is a huge factor. I could see it both ways tbh, right now I’m trying to figure out if I believe out of real conviction or if it’s just cause I was raised to believe all this.
@@LongDongSilver69420 i believe it because i was a atheist before and now i believe in christ. They have made me more peaceful, self-reflective and humble. This is a standard effect; psychedelic using people have lower rates of violent crime and domestic abuse. If the devil is using psychedelics to turn me away from god he’s doing a pretty shit job
Psilocybin flipped the off switch on my social anxiety like a light switch. It's effect lasted long enough that I thought it permanent. My anxiety and doubts and lack of self worth was gone. Anything that can make you love yourself should be legal
Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.
@@Roy.Laguna2988nothing comes up when I search for this doctor
@@Carlos_Rivero3480
You can do them on your own for the first time but I’m begging you take a small dose. (Can always eat more but can never eat less.) yes mushrooms can’t kill you. But like he said god can stop your heart at any minute. That is life. That’s how it is supposed to be. Take .5 grams to start no more. If you need more take another .5
Wait abt 30-1 hour before redosing. For your first time do not go past 1.5-2 grams I would say I took 4 my first time and was fine but it’s not the same every time.
Thats God right there. They will give you what you ask. Seems homie got exactly what he asked for telling all the enities to reveal themselves. They did.
Yeah as a christain. Shrooms can bring you closer to God. And help destroy the ego and pride. Under proper conditions and proper motive. Not for wrecklace behavior .
“This one is mine, he belongs to me” whew !!!! Thank you Jesus!
"It doesn't matter if your chain is 10 feet or 100 feet, you're still on a chain."
Amen
I read that as chin.
That comment was hard
@@Invisble748
😂☘️
Are you saying 'no matter what,we are all on a chain' ?
Ahhhh even shadows have shadows by eyedea
Wow, I have a very similar testimony, but with DMT. I backslid a few years ago and searched for spirituality outside of God. I had the most heavenly experiences on DMT, followed by the worst one where darkness pressed so hard on me that I went into psychosis. In a moment of clarity, I called upon Jesus to save me and begged for forgiveness. All darkness fell off me at once, and within a week He healed me from the mental damage it had caused. He literally saved me from the clutches of evil.
The spirit realm is the domain of a defeated enemy. Children of God have no business there. Stay away from it. The "good trips" are all tricks of the devil to keep you bound. This all happened a few weeks ago. I cry my eyes out every time I think of His goodness and mercy towards me, even though I have turned my back on Him.
I am so sorry you went through that terrifying experience. I'm glad you're in a better place now. Take care.
I don’t believe you turned your back on him. You were just experiencing. Don’t worry. God loves you. ❤
Literally same
If taking drugs is sinful, and I believe it is, then it's unreasonable to have true experiences of Heaven followed by darkness. Rewarded sometimes and punished others? Psychedelics are known to produce good and bad trips, and it's more reasonable to think these spiritual experiences and reckonings with God are simply the effects of drugs whose sole purpose is to produce psychedelic experiences. I believe in NDEs because powerful psychedelics aren't involved.
@@kurt1391 I too believe it is sinful, but I do believe that it can open doorways and God be willing, either to show the person, direct them or because they ask with an open heart; they can experience "true" things. The final time I recreationally indulged in a light dosage of shrooms, I got a few signs that it was against His will like things falling in my home right after I prayed and reflected. I then fell into a deep nap and experienced a dream of deep stairs and a trapped community in what seemed like a lighter vision of hell - a place absent of God. Last time I'm going to do that, no need nor real desire. I barely drink these days either as drunkenness does indeed lead to debauchery.
25:05
I heard this, and I just broke. I was sitting on my couch watching, and this just destroyed me. I started bawling, weeping, I threw my hands in the air and blessed the Lord as I walked to my bedroom. My strength left me, I fell on my knees and worshipped... Just worshipped. The words "God is good" or "Thank you, Jesus!" are so insufficient.
Thank you so much ❤🙏🏻
“Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” - Jesus

What if God created the mushroom’s and their psychedelic effects? What if it’s supposed to be used to deepen one’s faith by providing an experience so impactful it can’t be put in words?
@@loganparsons5179 a bunch of what if’s bro….. I’ve done it all, tried it all. I can honestly say the trippy world is not for us. It’s an eye opener but sometimes not a good one
@@bigboinutbaggins7134 close minded. Jesus probably took psilocybin himself... study the hidden scriptures not the Walmart bible
you know wine referred to a mixture of spices and psychedelics at the time the new testament was written?
@@GDM1787 amen
This made me cry I relapsed last October and had a bad trip jump out of my car and broke my skull had to have emergency surgery while I was in the coma I was in this black void but I was conscious when I woke up a week later there was an angel standing at the end of the bed shining in this gold light now I’m completely healed Jesus truly does love us he gave me a second chance to be a good father to my children and husband and now I have stronger relationship with the lord than i ever had.
I have heard recently that is hell. Just a video being in this lonely isolation. Your experience just proves that piont even more. A speech from Allen Watts is where I 1st heard something along those lines then later a kids Christian story series eluded to that too. So to hear you say this and my own fleshly misery it just all makes sense to me.
Thank you for sharing and adding a puzzle piece if my understanding of life and the afterlife!!
God Bless you sir!!
I recently went to a large ayahuasca ceremony and I’ve never felt more surrounded by demonic energy in my life. It was absolutely awful.
Everything about it made me turn away from that path and back to Christ. I was raised Christian but veered off that path for majority of my adult life. My husband also just recently became a believer. Best decision for us and our marriage. Thank you Jesus !
I participated in an Ayahuasca retreat in 2019. I drank the "tea" 2 nights in a row. I didn't experience any psychedelic effects. Nada. And I only barely threw up on the 2nd night. Going into it, I had prayed over & over "God, please heal me, your will be done, and please protect me". I believe my "Nada" experience was 100% God's protection that I prayed for.
so then what do you make of all the people who have positive breakthroughs during the ceremonies?
@@chottstuff I have two close friends who have had positive breakthroughs. I went, based on their first hand experience. The healing doesn't come from the Father in heaven though. There's a spirit realm, and the Bible warns to stay away from "other Gods". They encounter the one they call Mother Ayahuasca. Personally, I want nothing to do with her/it.
@@flannelwhiskers so how did they have positive breakthroughs if it is "surrounded by demonic energy"?
@@chottstuff you think Satan and his demons only bequeath misery on people? They attract them with earthly values. But they'll experience the consequences in the afterlife, and maybe their earthly life. I'm not interested. Do whatever you want, that's freewill. I'm grateful to God for protecting me from that spirit realm.
I went to the hospital this year for suicidal ideation and I brought my Bible with me, I was trying to get close to God but had so much self hatred. I wound up fasting while in the hospital (because I don't trust hospital food in a for profit healthcare system) and I had heard how fasting could break chains of depression and bring you closer into God's presence. I spent 3 days only reading my Bible, looking at the wall, crying a lot, and praying to Jesus. I wound up having a vision, which I had to look up when I got home, and apparently other Christians have visions while fasting too. No food, just water. It was like a projector suddenly showing me an image on the wall in front of me, and I realized it was a cross. Then the cross transformed into a man, holding his arms out to me, and a mirror image of him reflecting made me realize it was Jesus, walking on the water and holding His hands out to me. I felt overwhelming peace and joy and it was like all my pain left me in that moment. He then showed me my nana, who died last year, and she was looking up to the sky with the BIGGEST smile, and I watched as light began to envelop her until the image faded. The last thing He showed me was a DOVE! I thought, wow, that must be the Holy Spirit. I've never ever experienced anything like that before. When I came home from the hospital, I opened my blinds the next morning and there was a giant cloud that looked like a dove. I felt like Jesus knew I really needed those signs, because I keep telling Him "I just wish you could be here, physically, that I could see you and talk to you." I am so thankful to my Jesus, my closest friend, most beautiful one.
Thank you for sharing. I keep thinking the same thing, if Jesus was here physically and I could see him.
What a beautiful testimony, sister. I'm so grateful you're here, dear;. Sending a huge hug from Ethiopia

Bro thats deep. "every breath i receive is from God so i need to glorify God with it" Hallelujah indeed!
If you look at the old Hebrew word for God YAHWEH is actually the vocal resemblance of a deep breath yaaaaah - Weeeeeh
@@TMFxUniverse The Holy Spirit is Holy Breath. It flows through man, combines with man's breath and gives him abilities and understandings when his heart is tuned with God through Christ.
@@just-a-fella3212 this is dope and truth 🤟 do you have resources that I can check out that relate to this? GOD BLESS
@@BrianPruett The Bible and the creeds, faith and prayer, and Christ. These are resources.
Prayer is the soul's communion with God. Prayer begins with repentance. Faith is the power of God in man. The light and warmth of God is the love of God for his creation; this love is God's radiance; it is God's only offspring; God's love is alive and conscious; Christ is the name of God's Spirit of Love for earth; Jesus is that Spirit of Love's personification; no one comes to God except through God's radiation, his love called Christ, and Jesus who is that love's personification. Acceptance of this brings about an alignment and motion in the soul that enables one to receive God's outflow through soul and heart and mind, to breathe with Holy Breath which is called the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. A new heart is granted and made, and with the new heart, a new attitude toward others, and a new outlook on life, a new mind and new personality, new understandings and abilities, all come from the new heart, which is called being born again, and is only possible through receiving Christ into one's heart.
Amen
You put words to the darkness that I felt caving in on me when I did psychedelics after being saved. I didn’t have the visuals you did but I saw demons in the physical and knew that darkness had fair ground over me because of my choices. But God was gracious and showed me why I didn’t want that darkness to have power over me anymore. This testimony is amazing!!
You experienced this because this is what was in your subconscious. Psychedelics bring out what’s in your subconscious.
I love how Jesus said, Let’s not do that again! I also laughed and I cried when I heard that. There’s nothing more precious than his love and I believe he does have a sense of humor!
I was Muslim and converted to being a follower of our lLord Jesus Christ..I prayed to God one time with all my heart and asked him to show me if he’s real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in God’s name one day to bring this gift of rue love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen
How can Jesus be God when Jesus said in John 14:28 ... and the Father(God) is greater than me. He said all throught the New Testament , I am totally dependent on God. I do nothing of myself. Jesus never said anywhere that he was God . He never told anyone to worship him or to pray to him. When Jesus ascended into Heaven he sat on the right hand side of God. You have here two separated and distinct beings. God and Jesus so no trinity. If God is greater than Jesus and there is only one God. Jesus can't be God. There can be no trinity. Do your research. Truth is Just Truth. There is only one God and not trinity. Here O Israel the Lord your God is one God.
Praise the Lord! I’m so glad we are now part of the same family, the family of God.
@@roseg4771 You are body, soul and spirit. If you reject God you are already death without the spirit of God. There are three baptisms: water, spirit, fire. Like a saved person is three in one, so is God three in one. God created us in his image, but he is still seperate holy from us. Seek God, his Son Jeshuha Hamashiach the Messiah and will experience the power of God, the Holy Spirit and get understanding.

WOW!!! THATS AWESOME!! I know a Muslim this happened to as well ❤️❤️❤️ welcome my brother. check out pastor Arnold Murray he's really good at explaining Bible ❤️
“ as long as your not with Jesus the devil doesn’t really care” “ it doesn’t matter if ur chain is 10 ft or 100 ft your still on a chain” I felt that
I relate 💯 Ashlyn.
Very deep truth
lmaooo that's an eyedea lyric from even shadows have shadows
Can you save my soul
@Shepard’s P1e that last sentence. You are right. 💯
I could remember several years ago I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 11 years totally clean. Shrooms are God- sents
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life iolic etter without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need!
YES very sure of Dr.raymycolx. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today
Yes he's Dr.raymycolx .Lsd and psilocybin are amazing teachers along its dmt mah dudes have safe trips all. Shrooms are blessings from nature
He ships discreetly to your location. If you're worried about that. He has been my supplier for over a year now. No problems
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.imagine carrving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone.Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety level .I would love to try to shrooms.
When you've experienced psilocybin,the visions,the feeling that others feel become relatable and real,but when you haven't they could sound weird
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have a lot more empathy as well
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues..i would love to try magic mushrooms but they are hard to source!
Tripping on mushroom is the best experience I've had so far
When he described Jesus smiling at him and saying maybe we shouldn't do this again... I almost cried. Praise our Lord and savior Jesus Christ!!!! Forever and ever!!
It's funny how when you *experience* Jesus, the desire to worship becomes natural, rather than forced.
Thats so Jesus. I love him!!
@hellomate639 I know what you mean, but really I think it's sad how many false religions force us to worship without ever teaching the truth. The truth that all we have to do is believe in his sacrifice and that's it. No need to donate to the church, out do your neighbors good deeds, be at church 3 times a week etc. Just gotta believe. And I think once you believe and realize what he's done for you the desire does come Natura as it should. Especially for someone who's done some really terrible things I will never be able to express my gratitude in words for our lord's grace!
@@moneyontheside4206 I think that these religious propensities propagate through fear, a very low emotion.
Fear of Hell, fear of annihilation, and assuming that pessimism is realism are things that drive religiosity over True faith.
What's also funny is how scriptures that get abused in a way that mentally imprisons people actually come to life in a deep, beautiful way when you actually connect with spirit.
But, you also see the humanness in much of scripture, and it becomes a lot clearer against the deeper Truth.
It's when people have a mindset of seeking Truth in scripture without connecting to it in a living way with our Father in Heaven that it becomes this irreconcilable leviathan.
Thank you for your comment - I needed a little light. I was feeling angry at a lot of the evils in the world, especially the evils that are paraded around as virtues.
If he hadn't been Christian you think he'd have seen Jesus? Unlikely. Depending on where he lived in the world he would have seen Shiva, Vishnu, Buddha... it's all culturally determined.
the part where Jesus says "this one is mine" brought me tears of joy, thanks you for this story
Reminds me of the line quoted in Episode 1 of The Chosen, Isaiah 43:1b "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine"
SAME.

I appreciate you posting this. I was 17 in 1969 and over the next few to several years did much acid and some "organic" mescaline and once some self harvested mushrooms (not to mention several other drugs). When I was saved in 1988 is was not immediately separated from all these things. The last time I was stoned on pot, an abrupt thought came to me "this is doctrine of demons". My immediate reaction to this thought was 'no more smoking', and that's how it's been. Somewhat recently I've been considering 'micro-dosing' with mushrooms. I think I'll put that in the doctrine of demons category as well.
Absolutely! Any drug that alters your mind can be put in that category.
“He keeps eating from our table” really resonated with me. Powerful.
Same here man.
He is telling the Truth
Christ is our savior ...
That part! You cant be eating at every table.
Convicting
“You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.”

My name is also Josh and I’m also 29 and I have been battling addiction from 15 to present day being 29 years old, and also started having mental health issues since 12.

“Just enough truth to keep you going down the rabbit hole and just enough lies to keep you bound.” One of the most amazing quotes!
That line hits like a brick. I knew it in my heart but couldn’t put it into words.
I love this, can I share it?
@@benitahardy2566 oh sure! He said it in the video at some point. It really stopped me in my tracks.
That’s what Satan does mixes enough truth with lies to keep your wheels spinning. This is why the New Age is so huge.
I knew exactly what he was talking about
There's a scripture that says when you come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and then you go back into sin, you are better off not having come to the knowledge of Christ at all. Because when your house is "empty and swept", demons bring with them several more spirits more wicked than themselves. Living in Sin AND being aware of Christ is one of the most dangerous things you can ever do. Demons are WAITING to eat the children of God like a delicacy. We are like filet mignon to them. We must be careful and watchful at all times....
I agree but don't forget we still can mess up as Christians...we control our actions but not the consequences
This is so true. I've experienced it myself. God delivered me (I wasn't really aware of it at the time). I was raised pentecostal yet I had no clue how real the fight between light and darkness is. I felt so joyful and carefree. Long story short the enemy got me distracted. The next 7 yrs after was pure hell. I ended up in a relationship with a very broken man. Was verbally abused in ways I never even knew possible. I lost a baby. He was 2 months old, my first day back at work he suffocated in the sitters comforter. The devil came for me so hard. I finally broke free from that relationship and got put me on the path of learning about deliverance. I'm still not free the way I felt before. Its almost like I need to prove I'm not gonna make that mistake again. God is so good. He didn't let me die or lose my mind when most would have.
Thank You..Truth Be Spoken...
@@ericaleah5547 we mess up every minute, every hour, every second. But when you fall, quickly get back up. Because when you fall into sin and make a choice to stay there, it’s not going to be good for you. Of course God loves you, but who wants to be RE-enslaved by the enemy and tormented? Not me
Truth.
I always had the same strong mind whilst experiencing psychedelics so I wanted to try ayuasca, once I found a shaman to facilitate, I booked a session put a deposit down and as soon as that happened, EVERYTHING IN ME said “do not do this!” I thank god the Holy Spirit is in me and I cancelled the session and haven’t touched any psychedelics since. Jesus is truly ALL WE NEED! Listen to your intuition that is Jesus speaking to you through the Holy Spirit that is in us ❤️🙏🏼❤️ happy to hear this man’s transformation and experience. Thanks for sharing.
Mushroom helped me alot
I know, right! It's mind-blowing how psychedelic trips can be so individual and unique, even when people take the same amount at the same time.
Where can I source em?
Surely dr.vincentshrooms is the man for you.

On instgram?
I was saved when I was 8, and I ended experimenting with mushrooms. I took them a couple times and had a fun time, but one night I ate twice as much as usual. It started off ok, but things got weird quick. I started seeing demons coming out of the tv. Then I was all alone with a body on a gurney in a blackness. Then a doctor walks in and looks at the body and says,” only God can save him now.” I get closer and look at the person and it is me. Right then I’m back in my friends living room with shadows circling me. Right away I start experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack. I get up to go outside to die. I figured I was finished. As I’m walking outside I see into my friends garage. There are iron maden posters and other heavy metal posters with demons climbing out and flying around. I got down on my knees in the driveway and cried out for Jesus to spare my life. Right away it felt like a tube went down my throat and sucked all the poison out of my body. From that moment I vowed to try and get sober and come back to God. It took eight months of a struggle to fully surrender. I finally took my Mom up on her offer and became spirit filled. Within a week I was dead sober and filled with God’s power and strength. Since then I have experienced many miracles, signs, and wonders. I have been sober for 18 years, and I am married with four sons. God helped me start a business, and helped me learn how to play music. I’ve been serving in my local church as a musician for about 17 years. God is good and deserves all the glory. I truly am a dead man walking. I liked hearing this man’s testimony because it reminded me of the grace of God. He loves us so much and we cannot comprehend it. It’s backwards to us. There is truly nothing you can do to disqualify yourself from coming to Jesus. If there was then I would have done it in my rebellion and anger towards God. Put your whole life in His gracious hands today. God bless!
Demons ARE coming into our homes and lives via the TV and demonic music we allow in. Cool story thanks for sharing 🙏
Amen!! Powerful testimony
I think one thing Joshua should have gotten from the experience that he did not mention is that you shouldn't go back to your throw up. By going back into the drug scene he was doing just that and the Bible warns us about doing that. I think this should serve as a warning to all of us who start to backslide.
Praise God! He is soo great!
That’s the real world my guyz
"Maybe we shouldnt do that again" God truly has a sense of humor. Thank you for your testimony.
It's just like on the show the chosen I love his personality on that show
Yes! A very very sick sense of humor allowing hundreds of thousands of children to be sexually molested by men of the cloth in the name of GOD. Get the fuck out here.... ya'll are so sick it is unreal....
i feel like he really funny anyway@@f2hw6
@@f2hw6 That's exactly what I thought of too. :)
Dude when I heard him say that I immediately started laughing so loud and crying for some reason that I just can’t really explain very well. I’ve been having such a hard time turning away from certain sins, such a hard time reconciling how he could ever forgive me, such a hard time understanding why he would even look my way because I know how unclean I am. But something about that part of the testimony… God is truly unfathomable in his **Edit:forgiveness and love**. It just gave me so much joy. Sorry for the long comment 😅
This is an ABSOLUTE treasure of a testimony. I feel so blessed to have had it come through my feed. I know, without a doubt, spiritual warfare is more real than the majority of us can fathom. I am so grateful for you that you took the correct principles from your experience and are living them.
“Maybe we shouldn’t do that again.”
Jesus is so good. ❤️ He was willing to set you straight, but was never going to actually let you go. Very powerful.
Thank you for sharing.
“Maybe we shouldn’t do that again.” That made me laugh out loud. The Lord is generous! What a great sense of humor in the midst of such seriousness. He does not condemn! I’m glad you have repented of drug use. ❤
Are you crazy? Lol you sound like a child.
This story is one that resonates with me, deeply. When i was 16 years old, i wasn’t living for Christ, and i was into all kinds of drugs, xanax, adderall, weed, nicotine, alcohol etc. I decided one day that i wanted to try LSD, so i called a buddy and got 4 hits. I waited until my mom and stepdad were asleep, and i put a tab on my tongue. This is a very Long story so i will try and sum it up. Waited about an hour and i felt euphoric but still completely sober, so i took another one. 2 hours in, i start seeing things in my room move, and spiral, next thing i started to see was sexual intercourse all around me, visuals. It was fun at first, but it became dark, and evil. Being raised in a Christian Family with a mother of strong Faith, i knew of God, and Jesus, but I didn’t truly know him. So it got to the point in my trip where i cried out to him, and asked him to make it stop. As soon as i did, the fight for my soul was extremely overwhelming. The Enemy was telling me to sell my soul, and i rejected his offer and kept praying. It got darker and darker as time passed. Eventually I surrendered my Life to Jesus in that very moment, at around Midnight. God gave me a sign, i could visually see and Hear the Word “Serenity”. I didn’t know what it meant, so i tried looking it up on my phone, but as soon as I typed in the first few letters my phone exited out of the browser, i tried and tried and it kept doing that. I knew that the Enemy didn’t want me to see what this word meant so I kept praying, eventually i found the definition, and it read “the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled.”. I broke down in Tears, and knew that God was tugging on my Heart, and telling me that i could have Peace. An acid trip usually lasts close to 12 hours, depending. I sobered up in under 5 hours, went to bed. As soon as i woke up i ran to my mothers bedroom and told her everything. She started breaking down with tears of Joy, and said “my first child is finally saved, he understands now”. I’m now 21 years old, fully submitted to Christ and i will never turn back. I’ve had some road blocks and backslides but God remains the same. Felt the urge to share. Thank you.
Thank you Josh!
Praise The most High for this ! 💙
Amen 🙏🏽
I'm so glad you did share your testimony! God is awesome!! He loves us so very much and he wants the best for us!
@Thomas B Amen!
It’s crazy that in many ways this man has an incredibly similar testimony to me. Using psychedelics after i was saved.. the feels he had going into it, what he experienced.. God is so good!!
Great testimony, praying that many will have an encounter with Jesus through your testimony. And Joshua Zatkoff, a verse came to my mind and I wanted to share with you: "Don't take the path of the wicked; don't follow those who do evil. Stay away from that path; don't even go near it. Turn around and go another way. The wicked cannot sleep until they have done something evil." Proverbs 1:8-19 God bless you!
I love when he says, “With Jesus, it’s pure. No side effects.”
Everyone chats some crap like this after a trip. 😂 I saw God, Vishnu, Christ, Mo, and Superman that night. Great gear.
@@joeblogs5012 I know right lol
Nahhhhh let’s be honest it’s a dirty thing to take shrooms and ayahuasca. Even the fact that your body goes into his defence mechanism and makes you wanna throw up or stuff, shows that this can not be healthy nor good.
@@aventura9182it's nature's medicine. Truly is, and sometimes truth and results can be ugly. That's the beauty and gift behind a valse satin curtain many Christians tend to stand behind.
I have alot of tolerance for people and their beliefs than I use to. But something about groveling to a God in fear doesn't seem like a good relationship, them, and yourself (primarily but thats another topic that christians cant comprehend). But I'm glad the dude learned something that makes him happy. 93. Love is the whole of the law.
@@FriggitsXx you are right my friend. I myself took part in an ayahuasca ceremony in colombia. It was at the same time enlightening and frightening because all your past beliefs about yourself and life just break into pieces. Especially when it comes to religion I felt like I am going crazy bc god is my only meaningful purpose in this life until i realized I am part of the divine and all is linked togehter. It was hard to stomach and I still struggle sometimes with the thought. But in the end I learned a lot about myself and life.
"God hands you every breath you have..." so powerful!!!!
The breath is the Holy Spirit, you are the Son, God is the Father.

@@zootsoot2006 not to be that guy but isn’t the father, son and Holy Spirit being that the father is god and the son is Jesus?
@@waclac As far as I understand it, Christian mysticism equates the individual with Christ and therefore each of us is playing out the myth of Christ on the cross, undergoing incessant suffering then dying to the ego by sacrificing all to God and achieving liberation and eternal life. On every spiritual path there is always the question to God or the Absolute, however you want to phrase it, 'Why hast thou forsaken me?', i.e. why am I adrift in this existence without any sure ground to stand upon. I know this isn't the standard line within Christianity and would be considered heresy by most, which is why the likes of Meister Eckhardt were excommunicated and others suffered an even worse fate. But anyone who's interested in true religion, not the watered down version to appease the masses, has to look beyond the exoteric forms.

Awesome testimony. As you say, shrooms does access the spiritual realm, but it’s the wrong way to access the Most High. Come to God the way Jesus taught us. Thx for sharing. God bless you brother.
I resonate so much with this testimony. The experiences explained here by Josh are very close to my heart and have touched me in an incredible way. It is not often that you hear people with actual experience with such things, give their testimony. Thank you so much for this, and for backing up the thoughts that have been in my mind for a good few months now. God is way bigger and more important than any of these temporary pleasures that this mortal and sinful life can offer us. God is real, He is our Creator and Savior, and a very present help in our every hour of need.
Bless you all. God loves you!
I agree. You're spot on with the note of humor. After my own struggles with marijuana addiction, and the guilt I've harbored over my slip ups, I can say this testimony blessed me, too. To hear Josh say Jesus told him, "Maybe we shouldn't do that again" brought me to tears while laughing. It touched a part of my heart and soul I've been longing for the Lord to heal.

13:59 yo this was me but i didnt know the lord yet. Straight set up. The demons were feasting on my fear.
All praise to the most high. Thank you for your video Brother ❤✝️🙏
I saw demons from mushrooms every time. But my current brothers and sisters had been praying for my salvation which I didn’t know about but the fear of these beings led
Me to know it was all real. I started reaching out to a Christian friend and he took me to his pastor. After a couple of meetings and praying I hear an audible voice…..Its time. I knew exactly what it meant. I went to the bathroom and completely broke down crying uncontrollably calling out to Jesus to save me. Instantly a warm hug enveloped my entire body. I stopped crying….god was there in my suffering and saved me from my sin. That was a little over 2 years ago. I am 47 and awaiting the return of my king
"We are tired of this kid. He keeps coming to our kingdom and taking people out, and then he came back and ate off of our table." That is chilling.
It really was.
I just got chills reading this lol.
What does it mean?
@@wovasteengova going to their kingdom and taking people out as in bringing people out of darkness. Going back to eat off their table as in consuming things of darkness, like shrooms.
@@wovasteengova Satan is a legalist. Think of him as the prosecutor and jailer. When we sin it gives him rights over us, like when a court finds you guilty and are put in jail. When we repent we are covered by the blood of Christ's sacrifice i.e. he paid the penance on our behalf. We are not in jail. The person in the interview had the authority in Christ to proselytize and basically get souls out of Satan's jail. But then by eating the shrooms it's like he wants to party and sin like the old days. Satan is saying to God "who does this one belong to? If he wants to come back to me I will get my revenge on him for taking those other souls away from me."
The shrooms are a sin because he wants to have knowledge like Adam and Eve, knowledge that puts him on the same level of God. It's pride, basically.
This testimony has a lot of lessons in it.
Jesus makes you feel no shame no guilt. He is pure love
He is pure love, however, Josh felt shameful of himself. Jesus however had nothing to do with those feelings.
Editorial:
To be clear in case you think I'm agreeing I'm not.
*Jesus showed forgiveness in Josh's testimony and it was Josh that had a hard time moving forward. So, it had nothing to do with what Jesus did as far as Josh feeling guilt*
BTW, God confronted David immediately when it came to murder and adultery and killed Bathsheba's child which belonged to David.
Soy, God will correct his children if need be.
Yea, don't think that was God.
You feel shame and guilt when you choose a path out of God. Pure love requires obedience to His Spirit.
@@gugligem948 absolutely 💯.
The Holy Spirit convicts you. God has to correct his children. He is a good Father
I think the biggest take away is the “dirty” part of taking shrooms . Iv always felt that. You think you come away with something about how “I should be better “ but it always comes with this price of anxiety and fear. This video just made me turn from that life. Iv been on the fence lately with psychedelics and even attempting DMT . I’m glad I found this, god bless ! 🙏
Blessings on the journey. Yeah we don't need those entities in our lives. Jesus is the way, the truth, amd the life. 🙏✝️

@@yourangelinfleshorsackclot1523 yes, you are correct, YAHUWAH is His Name, and He said that is how He is to be referred to throughout ALL generations. Pronunciation matters. Jehovah (Yehovah) means ‘Destroyer’, Yehovah is Shatan, and that’s why he murders, and kills children, promotes slavery and polygamy and concubines, human and child sacrifice, stoning disobedient children, genocide, stealing land, racism, jealousy, and many other sinful, human attributes. Shatan deceives the whole world. YAHUWAH would never allow His Name on a corrupted text/Bible. The 66 evils are the blasphemous deception that lead MANY astray. This is nuanced, He put His Name in the Scriptures over 7,000 times and man blotted it out over 7,000 times.
“Maybe we shouldn’t do that again” just warmed my heart and brought me to tears because Jesus is really our friend and brother. & he really loves us so much. My God MY GOD. He intercedes for us. Wow.

Jesus brought the light to our world.
This testimony led me back to Jesus after 20 years. I came across it randomly months ago. To put it simply I called to Jesus asking him if he was really real and received blessings and a vision. He answered me in such a big way. Sincerely Thank you for doing these videos. This guy speaks truth, from my experience Jesus loves us so much he hurts when we sin and he’s never angry with us, he’s always a loving father. it hurt him that I was even questioning whether he was real or not. I’m positive he is real now.
Joshua, your testimony was for me. I can't tell you how much it helped. And you're a great guy. Thanks from my heart.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY!! This is one of the most powerful testimonies I've ever heard!!!! Without Jesus we are nothing really!!
Amen! ❤️
I liked this testimony a lot! I never did mushrooms, but done plenty of other drugs before!

*"For In Him we live, move, and have our being"...*
"God hands you every breath you take"... Woah!! That should hit so hard to everyone who listens to this. ALL GLORY TO OUR GOD!!
I'm not sure that's true. I think it might be predetermined how many breaths you take. Not each one individual
But it's like an ultimate real life double entendre
because he was literally on the hand of GOD as he was receiving a breath of life
Josh prayed over me randomly years ago when i was working retail at Best Buy... I’ve been battling spiritual attacks for years. I thought I could find answers with ayahuasca… and on my first experience, a veil was lifted. God is the only answer. I’d love to get in contact with Joshua again.
I think I might do a college speech on this, salvation through psychedelics. It’s incredible how this trip made you come closer to God and how there are a couple of testimonies of people converting to Christ during a trip and it was genuine.
I am a Christian and I have considered psychedelics, specifically magic mushrooms for years. Hearing his words “he ate off our table” was a confirmation that I should not partake. Thank you for sharing.
You think it may be that his perception is different than yours? It seems like someone telling you that it's evil or that it came from demons in a video because he had a bad experience, is just as reasonable as him telling you it's good because mushrooms come from GOD and he had a good experience...is that wrong to think?
Edit: Strangely enough, the man wouldn't have learned that much about his personal relationship to God had he not done it. Just an observation.
@@jayfleming1534 Exactly. You can see these testimonies over and over again. Bringing someone closer to Jesus, or turning an anthesis into a believer. It is very weird for sure, if they are truly evil. There was a women who did a video on how ayahuasca ruined her life and to never do it. In her story she ended with having a deep appreciation of life after 2 years of trauma from her trip, then reveled before the trip she didn't care if she lived or died, no appreciation of life. Goes to the saying they give you what you need, not what you want. IDK.
@@jayfleming1534 GOD also made poison mushrooms. You don't eat everything he made.
nope!! You should try it. I was healed of my anxiety during my one trip. And with the light I saw coming out of everything, and the perfect love I felt for this... ball of light.. and the love I finally had for myself (which was also a ball of light in my head)... I think it got me closer to God. Please don't just write it off. This man was already questioning and doubting, he was already feeling guilty for eating the shrooms... that makes a difference. I mean, he was STILL tripping. Its not like it HAD to actually be a message from God 100% of his trip... and his message was meant for him. Your experience will be 100% different. It is for everyone. People do it all the time and don't get warnings from God... I think he manifested his experience. God is perfect love. That's what I felt when I tripped.
I am also a Christian, and have taken magic mushrooms (twice). At the time of my second trip I was not religious, I had lost my faith approx 5 years before. Long story short: during my trip I was given an ultimatum by God: Accept him, or suffer the consequences. Shrooms brought me back to Christ. Well not shrooms per se, rather God used them as a tool to guide me back to him.
"Just enough truth to keep you going down the rabbit hole & just enough lies to keep you bound". He hit the nail on the head with that one. I felt that in my soul.

@@ciaranryan4501 actually I’m not offended. I was trying to understand your point because it makes no sense but your off point assessment about me tells me all I need to know about the quality, actually the lack of quality, of your discernment.
Awesome testimony dude! I can relate to your experience, being from a Christian fundamentalist home where nothing was explained satisfactorily, I went searching, and found psychedelics. I also relate to your experience of futility, when there is no integration of the revelations you get on psychedelics, it can cause even more distress (Matt 11:20-24) because you see a better way, falling back into old patterns feels so much worse. Eventually suicidal depression from feeling trapped and helpless, and then I let go of my life and became manic depressive for a time. Through out all of this, God has been very gracious to me, through revelations and nightmares, the path has lead me closer to him, I have certainly learnt moderation, and developed a more personal relationship with God through my reliance on him in navigating psychosis and being in prayer (a man will find God when he is alone in the wilderness).
I have a few notes, these from my personal experience. I find the concept of faith, of true belief or unbelief fascinating. One can choose to believe something, but the conscious mind can not command a mountain to be lifted by what it chooses to believe, because belief and unbelief are deep forces that are forged in time. Your belief that psychedelics are of the table of demons was deeply held before your experience, and for you it is so (Rom 14:14). I believe that your intention to go into the spirit realm through a medium which you believed in your heart to be profane, and to exercise the authority of Christ was unconsciously engineered to fail abysmally, in order to attain a final and painful elimination of psychedelics from your walk. That being said, I really enjoyed your testimony, what a powerful experience, foundational to a beautiful understanding (that every breath comes from God,) to feel connection with God in every breath.
I also agree with you, we don’t need psychedelics to have encounters with God, and not every experience of transcendent beings on psychedelics is an encounter with God, and must be tested (1 John 4:1-3) (Matt 10:16).
Psychedelics are an amazing tool, but they are a powerful medicine, and should be respected. It is as you say, we are protected by the the reality of the mundane, many people have no idea that they are in serious spiritual or existential jeopardy, pulling back the veil is as dangerous as it is useful.
I would not recommend psychedelics to Christians or to anyone, especially not to people who have a negative belief about becoming vulnerable to spiritual attack in psychedelic states, or that they would lose God’s protection, because all that you will find is a confirmation of your belief.
What he said "it's just enough truth to keep you going down the rabbit hole and just enough lies to keep you bound" stood the hair up on my back because this my flesh feeling that hold on me ... thanks for your content helping us get some foundational information.

His heart didn't stop either way, but he was reaping what he sowed after taking shrooms. In the end, God used this negative experience for good to turn Joshua's heart and also for His glory.

@@Garanon5 ...horseshit, seems to me like your god makes idol threats to his children...and then you lap it up like a dog.
What a beautiful testimony 🙏🏼 Praise God 🙏🏼 thank you Jesus for Your love and our salvation. 🙌🏼
It's intense. People are so lost , infact I was so lost , thinking these things are way to enlightenment and higher understanding. I'm thankful and grateful that God never gave up on me. Constantly reminding me through various hints and experiences
I started balling like heavy crying when He said Jesus walked out and put His arm around him and said this one is mine. Because I know that feeling and I cried I still am right now as I type this. Thank You Jesus for I am nothing without you😭😭
Jesus is wonderful
Amen!
Me too.
I’m crying just reading what you wrote! How beautiful!
Jesus is the king of Glory!!
"THIS ONE IS MINE, HE BELONGS TO ME!" The most beautiful words to hear from our Father!
I thought lucifer said that to God regarding constantine......sounds like the movie..
This is what He told me as well, I love Him, my saviour
No, that's what Jesus our savior said. The father was holding him.
Amen!
@vannarooski87 that's a twisted version of what Jesus says in scripture. Hollywood is filled with that.
This is amazing I love this I love to be reminded of the unconditional love Of Jesus! It’s truly beyond our understanding !!
Bro! I loved this video! I loved your testimony and I love Christ! There was a very plain,relatable way that you spoke and I've understood some of the things you've shared,but there was an eloquence in the simple way you articulated what you saw and what you know. You because of who you are and how you approach things are going to affect more people than some who have studied the word for decades or have obtained that degree in Theology. Thank you to this channel and thank to the young man being interviewed ,and thank you first and foremost to Jesus Christ. I say this in Jesus' almighty name. Amen!
“It doesn’t matter if the chain is 10 feet or 100 feet, you’re still on a chain.”
Wow. This testimony is powerful. Praise Jesus! All glory to God!
I really related to that. I loved how he put it. Really great testimony. Praise Jesus.
What a great statement! 10 feet or 100 feet your in chains and it will just get worse.
Yees! That was good!!
Jesus doesn’t exist

That part really resonated with me when he mentioned "That's why I don't watch pornography anymore, because I know the darkness that comes with it". I remember when I went back to it after a month of being clean (which I know isn't very long, but was really long for me), after I finished watching it and feeling that sort of way... I don't know how to put this into words... I felt the guilt and hate and misery and depression and anxiety and messed up thoughts and wanting to kill people and act inappropriately linger back into my brain like a you slowly dunked a sponge into a full sewer drain pipe. Not to mention the demonic spirits I felt surround me talking to me like "It was just a matter of time". It was so antagonizing and scary that I pleaded with God to have mercy on me because I did this to myself all over again for what...5 minutes of pleasure that wasn't even real, when God can offer you much more and for eternity. As much as I have a dirty desire to engage in that filth, my hunger for the Kingdom of Heaven is much stronger now. I want that peace and serenity back that I took for granted or possibly was too ignorant of to care.
Edit: I wasn't expecting so many beautiful responses. All your kind words help me trust in the Lord even more. Strength in numbers!
Wow, worth the testimony 🙌!
Amen
I feel this deeply ❤️🔥
Thank you for bringing all of you into the ‘light’. Your testimony is what the church NEEDS! We can’t hide from God, behind our masks.
Shame, denial and guilt live in the dark…pray we ALL will choose the light of our savior-Jesus.
God bless you brother. 🙏👆🏼❤️
You literally just described what I’m going through. I’m not realizing the true wickedness that comes with that dark side of lust, and it numbs you from God which only allows you to be open for attacks for demons and they really speak you that way “ it was just a matter of time” things like that freak me out
I had the same experience of the hand of God carrying me out of hell as soon as I began to pray. I was sober but asleep.
Needed to hear this. He’s in control and we need to follow His way. God bless brother! Much love to everyone reading and that God directs each one of your lives. John 3 v 16
My husband and most of my college friends left me when I dedicated my life and soul to Jesus, I love Jesus. GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST FOR EVER AND EVER.
That is a blessing in disguise. You are being protected from evil.
My wife is leaving me too because I gave my life to Jesus. She hates that I bring our daughter to a Bible believing church. This was prophecized by Jesus in the End. Families will be torn apart. Family members will be given up by other family members. Jesus didnt come to bring peace to the earth. He came to bring a sword. Be strong in the Lord. This life is a vaopr compared to eternal life that Jesus promises
It's the cost one has to pay to go down the narrow road. Happened to me too. Praying your spouses get radically saved 🙏
God bless you, when I quit drinking, I found myself alone, I have not ONE friend. Oh I've got Facebook "friends" but I could die and noone would care. But I've got God, and I know what really matters in this world
God did not create you to fit in, He created you to stand out.
I started crying out hard in the later half the Spirit did something to my heart as I started to reflect on the goodness of God. Every breath we are given and Jesus' immeasurable kindness.
He loves us so much it makes my heart melt when I stop and truly think about it.
Me too I was balling 😭😭😭
21 mins into it Bruh ME TOO! So Much an I Think what Got ME The Most was The Fact That I Understand.
Same. I was addicted to chiefing, dabbing and porn. I've been a Christian for years. But the attacks got worse when I smoked. Two years ago I had what they assumed was Covid. But it wasn't. God showed me it was a battle for my life because I opened the door with drugs far too many times. I'm here because of His mercy and love. Thank God He's got me.
@@StandUp777 Amen. All the glory to God. The part where he said Jesus is better than we think hit me because we really do not comprehend His goodness fully. His love His Mercy. What a privilege to be a son or daughter of God.
God bless you for this testimony. I have had a similar experience myself. Jesus King of kings. I surrendered my life to him. Thank God he gives us grace.
I was not expecting this; this testimony blew me away 🤯 so many gems. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness, your mercy, your love, SACRIFICE for us and we don’t even deserve it. Thank you so much Lord🥺🙌🏾🙏🏾
I was addicted at age 4. Inhalants. That went on until I was 12. I accepted Jesus and was baptized at 12. Stood behind the pulpit at 13 for the first time. I had promised God I would be a preacher when I got out of highschool. I was a decent athlete and opted to go to college to play ball. It was one big party for me and after playing around with several types of hard drugs I found my achelez heal. METH. It took me down for 15 years. I ruined my heart a marriage and lost everything. At 40 years of age God delivered me once again. He restored my heart. He gave me a new wife and children. I finally became the preacher I had promised God I would be. I have been in the ministry for 12 years and have been pastoring a church for 4 years. With God anything is possible. If you are struggling with addiction call out to Him today.
Amazing
Glad to hear this
I didn't know that I needed to hear this, but now I know I'm not here by accident. When he said his subconscious was asking God what psychedelic experiences meant in light of Christianity, I realized I've been asking that same question for years and have been slowly warming up to the idea of giving it a try. I'll listen to the words Jesus told him and just not go there. Jesus is enough.
Me too. Amen.
So glad I watched this video. He answered alot of questions I've had. Love you Jesus!
Hey YOU
YOUR TESTIMONY IS NOT RUINED!!!!
ITS JUST BEGINNING
GOOD WILL FINISH THE GOOD WORK HE HAS STARTED IN YOU 💪🏻
LETS GOOOOOO
This testimony will save millions. Amen hallelujah
Even our testimony is not bigger than the Saviour Himself. Not saying that his testimony is nothing, yet it is still JESUS who saves and the Holy Spirit who convicts us. And then, by His Grace we may have a testimony. Elevate the Miracle Worker before the miracle.
Amen God's Work never fails
@@Yeshuathefirstandthelast.7 Amen
His testimony can impact many, but only Jesus can save millions.
No it will not..it’s deception to the highest degree and the fact you believe it prove how deceive you’re
"This one belongs to me." Straight chills.
People don't understand how real the Spirit Realm is and how merciful God is...
"Maybe we shouldn't do that again."
😭😭😭
Maybe Jesus would actually ask someone to repent, rather than just let them off the hook?
This story sounds Christian on the surface, but there is something missing.
@@Michael-Archonaeus I repented nearly 50 years ago when I responded to Christ's offer of Eternal Life. The "Judgement" according to the Living Word is that Light has come into the World, but men Love darkness rather than come to the Light and have their deeds exposed. We have no reason to hang out in darkness if one accepts Christ's Forgiveness of not only our sins, but us also. I am forgiven because of the Eternal Blood of the Covenant....period!
Or he was tripping his face off and because this guy is a hardcore Christian, it became part of his trip, and he got out through the ringer. It’s not that surprising when you think about it. Being able to observe yourself is one of the great things these tools can offer, but they don’t offer total truth. They can show you things in ways you never thought of before. This guy obviously got something way stronger than he thought he was taking, probably stronger than anything he’d ever done before, and all the fear baked into his beliefs came bubbling to the top.
I started to cry when he said that.
@@fourlightsorchestra 100%. Mushrooms can be a fickle drug. You can bet you will manifest whats on your mind. In the same way that we are our own worst critic and the creators of our nightmares. This is why they are so powerfull; they can bring fourth subconscious thoughts and ideas that may not have bubbled to the surface before. There is nothing religious about drugs but they can certainly humble you to the point that you feel spiritual.
*LONG TESTIMONY WARNING*
Had a similar testimony with weed back in July 2023. I was on weed bad for a good 2 1/2 years from 2021 til then, and during that time I had an encounter with Jesus in a psych ward December 2021 but I still didn’t learn my lesson when it came to smoking.
After being absent in church in 2020 & 2021 I got invited to a church by my physical therapist in January 2022 and I haven’t missed a service since then, but during that whole time I was still smoking weed. I started to idolize it & make my day around it, even before or after church on a few occasions which was horrible. During all of that though I started to read my Bible every day while praying day & night, and every week that passed by I would start to notice things while I would be high that would throw my spirit off, until I got this sign in the summer.
I’m reading my Bible one night in July before I go to sleep but It’s right after I got done smoking, and once I finished reading I went immediately into my daily night prayer before I go to sleep. But as I’m praying with my eyes closed, it’s like I went into this deep sleep for 30 seconds while I’m hearing these dark demonic whispers like they were right beside me in my room. Next thing u know I snap out of it I finished my prayer & went to sleep, but I still didn’t learn😂.
Next morning I wake up read my Bible & pray but I roll another blunt to smoke. & after I smoked half of that blunt I drive to go get some breakfast but on the way back I click on UA-cam and this short video pops up with David Mapaolo talking about the red flags Jesus will send you before it’s too late, and after he shares his testimony he started listing all the sins/addictions people struggle with, and when he said marijuana I decided right then and there to throw away all the weed I had in my car as well as the other half of the blunt I smoked from that morning. And since that point I been on my journey with Christ as well as being a vessel to his testament.
Fast forward to now it’s been half a year since I picked up a blunt and I never felt better. I still be getting tempted to do that as well as other things but I always remember that red flag I got from Christ as well as denying myself to pick up my cross and follow him. I still struggle with other temptations but this testimony reminded me of how similar it was to mine and how it drew me back to Christ. Praise be to Jesus Christ✝️🙏🏾 Proverbs 12:11
