    I cried watching this video! I too was a prisoner but in a very different way.
    I was with an abusive man who isolated me from my friends and family. I was always isolated, had no friends and no one to talk to besides my then ex. God had to reach me himself to rescue me.
    A quick back story; My ex used to pressure me to smoke weed although I strongly hated it. Every time I smoked it felt my throat was on fire. And so my ex bought us a rice crispy treat laced with weed cuz we wanted to get “high together” I ended up getting a psychotic reaction.
    I kept hearing voices telling me to jump from our 5th story apartment in NYC cuz I was having a bad dream. It was voices everywhere I couldn’t trust my own thoughts so I thought to sit down and burry my head in between my arms so to “relax” suddenly the voices went away and a stern calm male voice appeared and told me that if I continued with my then ex that he would lead me to hell. I had to make a choice right then and there and I’m so glad I did! Jesus rescued me from that man whose only intention was to kill me to make the long story short. Even in my isolation he reached me to let me know that he had a better life for me and I am now in a different state living a much better life surrounded by love.
    I cried because of how God is able to reach captive people of all walks of life and offer them life! And it’s all so in the end we will return back to him and never have to hurt again. Look at how God is able to use us for his glory! In Jesus name Amen!

    I can see why that God's favorite song is the song of the redeemed. Joel doesn't have to be thrown into the lake of fire forever. His debt has been paid for on the cross. Jesus was pierced for Joel's transgressions. That only applies to a person if that person accepts that gift of salvation. That's exactly what Joel did. He received Jesus as his savior

    Hey everyone we all need to repent to jesus before its too late.. i seen jesus 3 times last year an 4 times this year.. i think i have a calling on my life.. i have a dream every week or two of jesus, My first dream was me seeing the lion of judah through sunlight a week before my bday. And it was an outer body experience so i was able to look through the sunlight, less then a second the lion of judah was in front of me. I felt his presence it was soo peaceful words can't explain the feeling. i can't explain the feeling, jesus the only one who can explain it. the feeling is beyond our imagination.. but he was talking to my mind telling me to spread what i just experienced.

    Ive heard of so many stories about God using those in prison. You know its like those who have gone through it, like murdering someone, robbery, or even drugs, are the best testimonies as far as helping others, and ive seen miracles w/ prisoners helping others, and including teens. I believe thats why God uses them for his glory to help others, and than our Lord Jesus will take over 🙏 you guys are awesome ❤

What you saw being your down fall with your prision sentence just so happened to be the greatest form and show of grace by Gods hand. Without you being there, more than likely you would have never found God whom was seeking you and never would you know the gift if ever lasting life Amen .

    My contribution to His cause …
    WHAT EVERYONE DESERVES TO KNOW ABOUT HEAVEN:

    Jesus Christ destroyed the barrier of sin between God and mankind at the cross so we can have peace with Him and have assurance we’ll make it to heaven.

    WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? The Bible (God's only trustworthy Word for the human race) tells us: All of us were born with an unrighteous sinful nature. We inherited it spiritually from Adam and Eve, the first two created people, because of their disobedience to God by giving into the devil's deceiving temptation. Why would the devil do such a thing anyway? Because he hates God! The devil wants no one enjoying intimate, joyous relationship with God. He once had it yet lost it, and now wants no one else having it either.

    God is so holy - so righteous - so pure … that He cannot and will not allow unrighteous sinners to remain with Him in heaven. But God had a plan to undo what Satan did to the human race. Jesus Christ IS the plan! Jesus came to earth to ransom you and everyone else for Himself, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. He took full punishment for your sins against God and the sins of everyone else on the cross so our sins no longer would keep us separated from God. Furthermore, He traded His righteousness for our unrighteousness through His death, burial and resurrection! (See: 2 Corinthians 5:21). It is ONLY God’s IMPUTED righteousness that makes us acceptable to Him - that is FREELY given to us who make Jesus our Savior and Lord. Imagine being in a courtroom, and the Judge has just sentenced you to death. Also imagine Jesus Christ being your lawyer. Jesus Christ says to the Judge (or in other words, God the heavenly Father): "Your Honor, I want to serve my client's sentence and pay the price for his/her wrong-doing by dying instead so my client can go free." Can you imagine someone doing such a thing for you?! JESUS DID IT!
    Of course you may be thinking at that moment: I haven't done anything to be sentenced to die! I'm being falsely accused! "What have I supposedly DONE, God?!" Here's your answer: God gave 10 commandments for people to keep in the Old Testament Bible. Anyone who breaks just one of those commandments must be punished for breaking them against God. Where does it say THAT?! It says that in Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Have you ever lied? Lied just one time? Everyone of us has lied at least once. Number 9 of the 10 commandments says: Thou shalt not lie (bear false witness). You know what that makes us? A disobedient sinning liar against God and His moral law - His 10 commandments. (Revelation 21:8 also tells us what God thinks of lying). You just read above what God says about our disobedient sinning against Him by breaking just ONE of His moral laws: God’s punishment for doing so is DEATH. Spiritual death. Ultimately total separation from God and agonizingly suffering for our sins against Him for all eternity -- totally void of any love, peace, hope, joy or forgiveness from God ever again (otherwise known as hell).

    BUT HERE IS GOD'S BEST NEWS! We can receive forgiveness for all our unrighteous, disobedience (sins) against God and our sins against others RIGHT NOW and have certainty RIGHT NOW that on the Judgment Day, our sins WON'T be held against us! HOW CAN THAT BE?! By asking Jesus Christ to forgive us for our sins and trusting that He HAS forgiven us of them simply by our asking and trusting! Jesus will do it! 1 John 1:8-9 says: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Thus if we make Jesus our personal Lord and Savior - every time we sin - we have every right to ask Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sin(s) - cleanse us as though we never sinned - so that when our heart stops beating, we can be assured that we won't have to suffer eternal damnation for our sins. Jesus Christ did what no other human being has ever done or ever could do. He was the ONLY person on this planet who has never sinned. And because He never sinned, He is the only acceptable sacrifice God the Father would accept to pay ransom payment for each of OUR sins. That is simply AMAZING, isn't it?! Yet JESUS DID IT!

    WHY? Because of God’s LOVE and MERCY for lost souls like you and I who will reach out in humility and demonstrate appreciation for His FREE GIFT of forgiveness (pardon) so we can have friendship and intimacy with Him starting now ... and lasting for ETERNITY! This life is your starting point with your loving Creator that will last for eternity. Ask Jesus for His FREE GIFT of forgiveness TODAY. Ask Him to live inside you. He WANTS to!
