I am grateful to have the savior In my life, I was homeless for 10 years living on the streets couch-surfed finally living in a van, while having to watch my back yet I kept praying, going to church, feeling the spirit, and knowing our savior is with me and helped me with a new life.
Romeo my heart goes out to you. I am blown away that you held on for soooo long. What a great example you are to anyone wanting to give up. God bless you. I pray you will continue to feel His love.
Dude..., YES, stay on the bath brother, Don't let trouble drag you down NO more! You've showed me that there is true HOPE in GOD. Thank you for your honesty and testimony. Thanks again for your testimony and your beautiful spirit.... you've given me HOPE!!♿✔️🤟
Wow ! Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks clean of methadone. Wish now my dad & sister could but more than anything, I wish things were better with us. Prayers please.
@@schroekate my battle is not wanting any substance, it’s mainly getting my self back physically & moving on from the past. It’s took many many years, and today I can say, I have the knowledge & tools to succeed because I WANT IT and IM DETERMINED! Thank you for your kind words, and a lot of days are harder but I’m hopeful:)).
Amen! That part gave me chills. I could feel the truth of that statement. What an inspiring soul. You know he had to be prepared for such a mission on this earth to go through all that! To get out of that hell and turn to Christ after all that is an incredible testimony!
This brother reminds me that a saint IS a sinner who keeps trying. Even while having joined the church, he still eventually fell into very bad addictions and despair once again. I can relate and hate to say I have felt somewhat worse.. The church isn't the church without the ever enduring strong hearts and continuing, dedicated faith of its loyal members.. Even ones that can still screw up like everyone else. Just as me and this inspirational brother have. I WILL continue to hold to the rod. I know personally myself, I've slipped off the path many many times. I've sunken or fallen into many dark, familiar intoxicating mists in my life that keep returning to haunt me.... Lds or not, DON'T let yourselves be so discouraged brethren. Never give in to that it's too late or point of no return bullcrap. We ALL can change..God speed 🙏🏼💛
I left the church right out of high school. I just found Jesus again after a lot of years without Him. I've done it both ways, with and without Him and all I know is the dark is a lot darker without Him.
What an amazing story!!!! I love it💜💛♥️ My father was an addiction recovery leader missionary as well! He LOVED IT! He loved it soo much that he did it for 8 yrs! It not only helped others. It Helped himself as well! I attended the meetings also because I'm an EX-Addict as well. I've now been 12 yrs clean! It IS POSSIBLE!!! My life could not be any better now! Thankyou for sharing your wonderful inspiring video!! Good 4 you!!!🙏
In overcoming the "why me?" "victim" attitude, stacking it as part of the wins under your belt, you have indeed kept hope alive. Well done and may more miracles attend your prayers.
I too was an addict and fought and had miracles happen to me I completely understand your pain and your humility thank you for sharing your testimony and your story I too feel that I am ahead of the game I've been to the temple I try hard every day some days it's not easy I rely on Jesus to help me he always does there is hope there is success
Before I watch the video I just want to express how much I love Jesus Christ ❤️ he never leaves me even when I'm in my darkest of moments.. feeling so alone. He always lets me know, that he's right there with me
I used to run those classes you took in drug court...I worked mental health court which is basically the same thing. Good for you! This is such a great testimony! I know where you're coming from for sure.
Never quitting is an absolute necessity to come out with the win. Even then, we cannot do it ourselves, we must have God on our side, and we need to ask.
The part where he said “I remember you and I’m with you” made me feel a bunch of good emotions and made me cry. I know Jesus Christ will be with me in everything I do and that in everything I do I remember him. I also know that he will strengthen me by praying and doing the things of the Lord. I remember experiencing doubt in my life and going through depression, but God never left my side and I pushed myself to pray more often so that I’m always on the right path. During my institute class today someone shared that it is also okay to cry when we are feeling down or doubt, it is normal, but God with always be right next to us (almost like he is literally next to you). One thing that I remember is that Jesus Christ is like our missionary companion. He will always be there for us like a missionary companion is. I’m very thankful for being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Also super grateful for all the many amazing testimonies of everyone. I can testify that God is always with us and will never leave our side no matter what we go through. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. ❤️
I can't relate to his story in any way as I've never had experiences like his but I so needed to hear him and Him today. I am so grateful for Saints who are willing to share their stories because it can touch someone in a way that prompts them to remain hopeful and to make necessary changes. Thank you Moroni and thank you Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
I’m so great full to Jesus Christ, for His love and care for ALL of God’s children, including you and me. Keep on the narrow, covenant path my brother! God is ALWAYS there for you
I was so poor that I begged on the streets and Jesus was always there but I couldn't see him,so bogged down in depression that it took me yrs to finally find my God. I'm blessed, today I have finally found my father,my Lord God. Jesus Christ.
I "played in the jungle" for a period of time, and had 2 marriages with some pretty hardcore men as well. Both wound up in divorce (of course), but I was able to get clean 15&1/2 yrs ago, and forgive them/be friends with them both. God showed me how over time, and one has since passed, and the other is still in & out of prison. I minister to him through letters, staying clean, and being an example through Christ. We'll never be together again because I've grown into a very different person, but I'll be the best friend I can be to him for Jesus.
How much joy brings to my heart to hear his testimony and see the love of are Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have for each one of us and they never ever giving up on us.
I appreciate his faith and trust to God, and he is willing to let God to be part of his life again to guide him back to the brighter path. Thank you for Moroni's testimony.
Wow. I can't move beyond the power of this amazing man's story & testimony. Christ's Light really does shine brightest in the darkest nights of the soul. And just like our beloved Prophet says, "The Lord loves effort!" You give it your all Thanks be to God for you & your wife. God bless you & may there be many more rescues like yours. Christ lives & my only hope resides in Him. Thank you for sharing! 😇💙
Amen because all you needed was to have faith in yourself and in our Heavenly Father and in our Saviour and redeemer Jesus Christ and thy Holy Spirit above themselves Amen
Moroni, I knew I recognized you from the 12 steps from recovery video. Your story really stuck with me. I'm glad you made it through. I'm glad your life changed. You're a good man.
This is beautiful. God takes the most unlikely people in our eyes because they have learned firsthand how to fight the battles the rest of us have never known. They speak to those who no one else can speak to. This speaks to me.
Thank you for bravely sharing your inspiring story and for not giving up. Your strength and testimony will help many. May the Lord continue to bless you.
“It took a lot of commitment, a lot of praying, a lot of begging for help...as long as I kept going...I continued to have the hope I needed to win.” I love that. “Jesus is in the ring with you and with me” I know this to be true.
I cried 😢 your story is amazing and I'm sure you can help a lot of people who are in struggling like you did befores. I do pray you will endure to the end 🙏
Oh I simply love this Another day where I felt like its only me who is struggling and fighting so much and then to hear your story of failing and succeeding just makes me realize I am not alone in trials, I am not forsaken, God still cares about me, there is still hope for tomorrow. Thank you for this!
What an awesome, wonderful story! Isn't it amazing how God can bring us out of the worst situations and guild us to a place we never thought we'd be if we just trust Him. Thanks so much for sharing and may God continue to bless you!!!
Great testimony! That was really neat, feeling like a grain of sand among many on the beach, & then the dream. The poor me syndrome is our current popular culture. Victimy, being easily offended, people feeling like they have to walk on eggshells around each other. Yet people have never had as many comforts & opportunities & so much stuff.
He reminds me a little of James Edward Olmos I love the point of the message to have The Savior at the center of our lives & never give up. Keep trying. You are loved.
Wow, this was incredible! I can’t almost express how great this was! Thank you so very much, brother, for your story about your life and your testimony and your work and service for our fellow brothers and sisters!!!! Your story gives a lot of hope, where there was no hope I’m sure! It gives a lot of help to me and I’m sure many, many others! Thank you to you and your wife and may God bless and keep you and keep you strong in the gospel and keep you strong to serve others to help others! I love you! As Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you both!
"I frequently prayed in my cell and asked the Lord for a miracle. I remember asking for the God of Israel to come and do battle for me, cause I knew it would take a God to rescue me. My cell turned into my sanctuary. I would pray, read scriptures, and have spiritual experiences, all the time surrounded by prisoners who didn't even believe in God. It was my only escape. When the other inmates saw that I was praying, they taunted me, saying 'Why are you asking for Jailhouse Jesus to come rescue you. Man up. You are going to do 15 years.' In the bleakness of the night surrounded by concrete and bars I remembered a dream I had years before. In my dream the Savior came across a long Beach and He found me, and He picked me up with His two fingers and looked at me and called me by my name and He said "I remember you, and I'm with you." Those words gave me strength to fight another day. I also remember my trainer Frankies words. 'The fight comes from within boy'."
This video was incredible! I also spent most of my life searching and not finding answers to questions. I investigated many faiths, and it was my belief in Jesus Christ that help me through the dark times. I am very grateful then when I was 19 years old, a member of the church had the courage to share the restored gospel with me. I now bask in the light that I have been given. Light is exactly the word that I would use to describe the experience I had that helped me know for myself the truthfulness of what I was hearing. For those still in darkness, I promise you that if you look to God as this man did, as I did, by studying his word and also by listening to his servants, you will find light and truth. Then, our consistent and persistent running to the light leads us to God, who blesses us with a joy beyond all you or I could imagine.
I bear solid testimony of God’s ability to transform us through the Atonement and sacrifice of His perfect Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, as well as our ability and privilege to help others transform their lives through His grace and mercy.
Awww, this is so beautiful, thank you for sharing your special journey with us Brother, I loved every word. This is going to help so many people who are dealing with addictions, and will also be insightful to those who are dealing with their own challenges whatever that may be. I just love hope works, it truly is a place of hope, and one of the places on social media where you feel the spirit of the Lord ❤
Great testimony, very encouraging Heavenly Father can overcome all things, great video,it would take a God to deliver me , so true great statement. Thank you Jesus.
This is an amazing testimony of the power of Christ. He never gives up on us. Many people who say they believe in Christ give up on others. It is my testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that people we think can't be redeemed can be. God loves us. He is able to redeem. We must turn our hearts, minds, strength and will to Him. When we do He will direct us. He is in the ring with us. Money and power currupt us unless we remember Jacob's counsel. Addictions can be overcome but addicts require love, and knowing we will never give up. Never, Never, Never give up. He will come. Thank you for your testimony.
We all need to a have a reason to hope. The day my ex said she was filing for divorce was the very day I was able to have hope again. I still have hope for better things in this life, and in the life to come. I found someone who loves and respects me, and appreciates the love I show to her. My children all love me and I even get to have deep conversations with my teenage boys! How cool is that! If you find yourself feeling hopeless, please hold on. The Lord knows you and loves you, and you may not see what he has in store for you, but one day you will.
I believe it takes a great deal of humility to aire your dirty laundry as this good brother does in this video. I’m glad he did though. It proves to me that no one is unreachable. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is for all.
I am grateful to have the savior In my life, I was homeless for 10 years living on the streets couch-surfed finally living in a van, while having to watch my back yet I kept praying, going to church, feeling the spirit, and knowing our savior is with me and helped me with a new life.

Thanks for sharing, @Niwtahc Ardnas. We are so glad that Christ has brought more light into your life.

Deciding ahead of time to never give up makes the whole difference.
I love when he said that it was not a perfect happy ending but Christ was always there to help him through his battles!

Powerful Message I needed to hear every bit of that. Thank you keep pressing forward Jesus is in the ring for I know we are not alone.
Thank God for you and for this message. Prayers for all of us as we fight our various battles. Love you all.
It's an amazing testimony❤ Thank you for sharing😊 He is with you!!
Whenever I feel like I need a boost of encouragement, I watch this video.
Touching, and well delivered. Thank you
Keep up the great job 🙏🏼
"my cell turned into my sanctuary"
God see us, not as we are, but as we can become. He never gives up on us, so there is always hope! What a powerful story, thanks for sharing!

I love the point of the message to have The Savior at the center of our lives & never give up. Keep trying. You are loved.
Wow, this was incredible! I can’t almost express how great this was! Thank you so very much, brother, for your story about your life and your testimony and your work and service for our fellow brothers and sisters!!!!

Great testimony, very encouraging Heavenly Father can overcome all things, great video,it would take a God to deliver me , so true great statement. Thank you Jesus.
I love hearing your story! God is great! He works miracles in our lives when we open the door and let him in!
This is an amazing testimony of the power of Christ. He never gives up on us. Many people who say they believe in Christ give up on others. It is my testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that people we think can't be redeemed can be. God loves us. He is able to redeem. We must turn our hearts, minds, strength and will to Him. When we do He will direct us. He is in the ring with us. Money and power currupt us unless we remember Jacob's counsel. Addictions can be overcome but addicts require love, and knowing we will never give up. Never, Never, Never give up. He will come. Thank you for your testimony.
Jesus is in the ring with me ,my deliver, thank you Jesus, thank you Heavenly Father. Great video thank you for putting this on UA-cam
We all need to a have a reason to hope. The day my ex said she was filing for divorce was the very day I was able to have hope again. I still have hope for better things in this life, and in the life to come. I found someone who loves and respects me, and appreciates the love I show to her. My children all love me and I even get to have deep conversations with my teenage boys! How cool is that! If you find yourself feeling hopeless, please hold on. The Lord knows you and loves you, and you may not see what he has in store for you, but one day you will.
One of the most powerful real videos I’ve ever watched. Bless him
I believe it takes a great deal of humility to aire your dirty laundry as this good brother does in this video. I’m glad he did though. It proves to me that no one is unreachable. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is for all.
