- Breakout session at Reunion 2017
The Kingdom of God at its core is family; a great and loving father and all his adopted sons and daughters. My wife and I set out on our own journey of adoption 6 years ago. We have a beautiful and diverse family of 8. With each new child I have come to gain a greater revelation of our Heavenly Fathers heart for us. With many comical and heartwarming stories I am excited to share our family with you.

He asked God to show them His heart ❤️ in his prayer, that is a true prayer!
I am in South Africa and you have just lifted me out of a very dark place! thank you so much much!
Michael you have touched the lives of so many with your love and humility. Such an amazing inspiration! We’re so so blessed to have been touched by your soul 💕
Only God does the impossible. Thanks for a moving and transforming story. Christians are called to be a force in the world. And just adopting people of different races means a lot to what God is trying to teach the world. I am so grateful to have learnt on how to listen to God when He speaks. May His Glory overshadow your house. You are a blessing to many. With love from Australia.
I could listen to him preach everyday he’s a natural inspiration. True hearted person hopefully Hollywood doesn’t attack him just cuz he’s really genuine keep preaching Michael ❤️
This is an amazing story.. you are a good person who live the life of a Christian. Thank you for sharing this incredible and inspiring life.
Exactly the person God knew the USA needs as our nation transforms! 🗣 Hallelujah! Bring prayer back to schools!
This is the one time I will like my own comment! WOOOOOOOOOOT!
RE AGT 2018, Michael is not just technically able. His choices of songs lay out pieces of the story of his beautiful life, full of insight, empathy, passion and love that he has lived and lives. Those here believing he is still here, "just because he has a sob story," are so clueless. It is story of celebration and triumph borne of the miracle of parents with more room in their and children with hearts needing to be valued finding each other, and then filling their house with absolutely everything needed to qualify for having made it HOME. In meeting each others' needs as family members, they have found the "home" that is centered within each of them that was waiting to be fully found/discovered by each and then, secure in that inner place, to be to be generously shared with family, community and world. That is what I hear in Michael's lovely heart songs. He "gets it," understands how to be a fully human man and how to inspire others. In a world where the "white hats" are now at literal and figurative war with "black hats" to take down worldwide corporate owned/bankster-Satanist/New World Order/Deep State/Shadow Govt corruption that involves human sex trafficking, child rape/torture, child eating (by pedovores) and sacrifice, enslavement, organ harvesting of live people, drug and weapons running, and more that is designed to farm humans and to strip the victimized/conquered/preyed upon to steal virtually every asset, Michael is one whose choices in life are a righteous blow to the evil doers who have sold their souls for short term gain. We are drawn to him because, in or own ways, we ARE him, try as does he to be the love lived that humans actively struggling to achieve love can be while on earth, and must be if there is to much longer BE life on earth. Wanting his musical talent and skill in delivering the deepest messages of songs to be recognized and celebrated is way to say "thank you," It is also an available means of providing one deserving family with the means to properly meet its needs. In doing that, showing how much we value the full talents, life decisions and commitment to stick with those, we, too, are contributing to the lives of beautiful rescued children and those who love them, rescuing ourselves in that process. Go, Michael; I love your family and what you collectively represent in and to the world.
The most powerful testimony I’ve ever heard in my life. At the end when he prayed the power and presence of God hit me so hard I hit the floor shaking and yelling. That’s my GOD💥
your story needs to be made into a movie to reach a bigger audience because your story is so deserving.
Thank you!!!! I am truly honored to have been directed to this footage... Micheal, you are an inspiration!!
Wow. Just, wow. Keep golden, Mr. Ketterer, you are making a difference - through your music and your children/family. God bless!
You are a beautiful soul! Blessings to you, your wife and especially your children. Your message of unconditional love just fills my soul with hope!!
Wow..I never watch videos this long but I was captivated. I learned sooo much about the Fathers heart and how we are called to care for the orphans through this. Thank you so much
So glad I watched AGT tonight.........you are one awesome man/singer/husband/ father/ nurse.........why can't there be more of you? good luck to you, but I think you have it all because you have a heart of GOLD and GOD is with you.........love and hugs to you and your family
" What God can do when you say 'Yes' "
Lord, I pray the Hollywood elites do not get their evil hands on you... you have a truly blessed soul.
Amen, Amen! He is special. It's because of Jesus work in him.
Does he go to a Vineyard Church? He reminds me of the type that is part of Vineyard USA. They are good people.
And, it happened!
The media tried to destroy him but you can’t destroy a man like this. The media may be able to influence the flock but at least he won’t be there when the wolves remove the sheep’s clothing.
Michael, I love your story and your heart for God and His precious children. ❤️ I have been considering fostering/adopting for some time now, but have been hesitant because of my current situation. Your story came across my feed today, and as I listened I felt The Spirit move upon me, as if He was asking me, “Are you willing to move forward not knowing how this will play out?” I wept during your prayer at the end and, making the decision to say YES to God, I took the first step in the process. To God be the glory. 🙌🏻
God bless you, this brung tears to my eyes
This story really touched my heart! - Love & Blessings to the Ketterer family!
Thank you for allowing God to move through your life Michael, in every area of your life ,especially in this ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Adoption is the best donations one can do! It is the greatest donation filled with greatness in a person attribute !
Wow, what an amazing family story. I cried the whole time.
God bless you Michael. I really didn’t know anything about Michael Ketterer until going to You Tube during my devotional time for some worship music and for some reason clicked the AGT video and heard you then looked you up , seen your video “Spirit Lead me” and now I am here listening to you story. God bless you and may His light continue to shine upon you.
Growing up in Morristown and teaching music in East Tennessee public schools since 1996, I can't tell you how your story has blessed me. Thank you for saying, "YESSSSSS", when I'm sure your flesh was screaming, "Please, no!" I knew God was the center of your heart when I heard your back story on AGT, and when the first 3 words of that song came out of your mouth, I was instantly in tears. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Midhael...as I listened to you speak, I find myself saying "YES! YES! YES!", and "The whole world needs to hear this. I am a Mormon, and as you spoke, I felt the spirit so strongly...."this is exactly what Mormons believe...what we teach and try our best to practice...the most important part of God's plan is the Family. and we are all brothers and sisters, children of our God...our Savior Jesus Christ is our God, our Savior, and our Best Friend. I was so moved and impressed by your testimony of these things. I am grateful to you for sharing how you listen to the spirit when it speaks to you...you are a most inspiring person,,,you and your wife and that beautiful daughter who followed the promptings of God as she was taught and guided in her precious dreams.....""and a little child shall lead them". I am also completely taken in and deeply inspired by your music. Your voice is a true gift from God, and is what the world needs right now, We need Michael Keterrer's voice...
Karen Truman Mormon is not from Jesus ! Get out of it, Repent!
jenny liew ~ You missed a BIG part of what Mr. Ketterer’s testimony was about. He spoke of God’s love, Fatherly love for ALL His children and the importance of bringing family back together.
It does not matter if one is Mormon, Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Evangelical, Methodist, Pentecostal, Jehovah Witness, etc... The definition of “Christian” is to be “Christ like”.
Your single statement will turn more people away from God, than bring newbies into His glory. God is a loving and accepting God. He knows no division and does not place one of us above the other. We are simply here to help spread His word and love.
Finally, get to know a Mormon, a Jehovah Witness, a Jew, a Sikh, a Muslim, a Hindu... on a personal level and away from your sense of righteousness.
I will pray for your clarity and willingness to embrace God’s unconditional love. 🌺
Karen Truman ~ Beautiful comment, and the message of love you projected. 🌺

God is good.
The most beautiful testimony I've ever heard. ❤❤❤
I absolutely LOVED this! This is what being a Christian is all about! We are able to love because HE first loved us. I don’t care how old you are! I’m in my sixties and there are times that I have felt like an Orphan. Mostly because of a horrible decision that I add years ago that I have never been able to forgive myself for .Even though I know that God has!
I was a nurse and the lord gives you the talent and strength to be one as you see so much tragedy and healing. I listened to his testimony and I do have an adopted son who is my life. I would love to be an infant to 2 yrs old children since I’m 66. older kids I couldn’t keep up with them after 2 back surgeries. But the little ones I could and this testimony sparked me so we shall see what the lord decides. And sir I watched every time you sang and what a beautiful voice you have
I feel like crying about that part of the story about his son confessing about the teddy bear story😭.
What a great story, a great human being!! Good luck Michael in everything you do for Our God!
Michael Ketterer since I watched your first video singing Spirit lead me , I am hocked to everything about you , because I am amazed by what God has doing through you. Besides, I am praying for you and asking God to protect and keep you on his way!
I love ❤️ your heart! So happy to get to know a little more about you!
What an incredible human being...
I love this family!!!
You are a great man , love your story 😊 God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you Michael
I have the biggest man crush on this guy...what an excellent human
gaiolinn : Me, too, from when I fist saw him at AGT and talked about why he entered the competition. I don’t know whether or not he got into the finals, but I hope his exposure brought him some financial gains to help his family. I love this man and wife!
What a powerful testimony.
God Bless this man and his beautiful family~
Inspiring testimony of a Father's heart
You are blessed because you bless your family.
Amo...esse Michel Kerther
Wow amazing !
Amazing story! Glory to God
You are an Angel dear Michael
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. This message and cause resonates with me. to know we are orphans and need to become adopted into the family of our Heavenly Father through the faith of Jesus is the simplicity and intimacy of the Gospel message. The need to rekindle a relationship with a loving Father and become part of his eternal family through the example of his only begotten son Jesus much needed in the world.
Thanks
such an insightful talk... i wish to hear more from this guy and his testimonies
May the Lord strengthen you to do greater things and use you to reconcile many broken people back to our Father
Michael you are kind people your life full of God and me proud of you,God blessed your life,Amen.
Wow! Thank you for sharring your story! You are amazing.
GOD BLESS you... brother
This is so amazing!
God blessed u brother , tnx for sharing this amazing messages ! 🙏💕💕💖🙏💕💕💖🙏💕💕💖🙏👑
God is really working for you

I'm glad your so gifted.. and you use your gift. Me ? I'm struggling. My girlfriend walked out on me today for something I did before I met her. She is a devoted Christian and couldn't except that I could fall in the flesh. I've repented and have been forgiven but it feels like it's not enough I love her and miss her. This isn't going to be easy.
Wow, Just Wow.
Så amazing!♥️♥️♥️
Amazing man
Wow, wow, wow!
Mike.... Jesus was feeding him cabbage because it heals ulcers and stomach issues. Jesus is amazing! Vitamin U Mike! Be incredibly blessed pal!!!!! Yay God!!!!!!
I just googled cabbage and you are correct about the health benefits! Jesus is so amazing!😄
You are a great man I wish I could be you....
Bire Abrah you can be even better! Just be uniquely yourself and the gift that you are to this world. Don’t compare yourself to anyone but yourself
I cried a lot watching this video😂😂😂
❤️
Ppl ask yourself if you can foster a child. Especially teens, they are the hardest to get placed. There's thousands of teens with no family. I'm moving this summer then going to foster a teen girl. Can you do the same?
Great point, Robbie Underwood. 👍
im one of 23 siblings. i was the first adopted as were the 19 following me. Babies, mixed race, sibling groups... When my mom passed away four years ago, the realization of what they sacraficed, their patience, and the gift of a truly blessed life, hit me like a ton of bricks. Every family has its dysfunction, its part of our journey in life to live large, love deeply and be willing to make mistakes along the way and at the end of the day... the bottom line is, that 20 of us that were adopted, were given the gift of a beautiful life, and each other. i encourage anyone whos thinking of adopting or fostering kids... I know 20 lives that were forever altered because my parents were willing to stand up and say- "we will do it, send them on over" lol... and they loved us and we all had the joy of growing up with each other. Our family is pretty crazy but I wouldnt trade it for anything!
Amen
wow!
Thank you. Pray God blesses ya'll abundantly in Jesus name amen.
W-O-W🙏🏽
Where he was at giving this testimony? Anyone knows?
This man is Christ like.
Anyone know who the prophetic tattoo artist he said he went to is?
Prays to The Jesus Lords
Is it even possible for him to be a better person than a singer? Guess so...
I’m sorry,but what about the arrest for domestic battery 2 days after AGT aired. What happened? If it didn’t, then God Bless Him! He was to show and sing a song wrote for him by Garth Brooks as requested by Simon. He called Garth and canceled and Garth agreed....
🌊Brother Michael🔥 Abba Mas Fuego. three 8 year olds... 8 is the number of new beginnings ❌3...one black one white one Brown Holy Ghost Mod Squad... Supernatural provision Abba in Yeshua name🌊🌬️💨🔥
the woman's hair sitting behind the man in yellow wheelchair, i see the face of Jesus Christ! really, anyone else?
Me. Letter how could I show my daughter that I gave birth to but after my Husband committed suicide 2yrs later I was out on the streets with drugs I was gone for 20 yrs and she don’t know Jesus but I have found Jesus through being addicted I’ve always known of him but I know him better now and understand a little more but how do I let my daughter know that I haven’t had contact with because she wouldn’t allow me to but now she does but she addicted to drugs and she does see how her gramma that we recently lost has been showing her things so she is seeing spirituality through her gramma my mom but she don’t know Jesus and she don’t trust me but she does love me I told her that I couldn’t be apart of her going to jail again but she could stay with me but her illegal things that she does cannot be in our home. She chose the street life how do I tell her about him how do I get her to listen and open her heart to him
What are the kids names?
Julianna Arnold
In his instagram, all the names are post
I just know Chase, Jared, Sean Shawn, however you spell it, Rodee and Sophia.
i really enjoyed ur music but i ask why are there only women there
probably a women Christian retreat, and he happened to be the speaker.
I saw a few guys anyhow.
Great! But why the commercialization? There are many people doing great things for others and they do not appear on social media.
Maca Garcia this is not commercialized! This is giving God Jesus glory & honor for using him as His vessel on earth for the 5 boys !
i went to the same school as his kids. Jared didn’t win the school president
Why he didn't take his cap off while praying...
What is the hat in prayer😊
😂😂😂😃😃👍👍
I am in love.....wonderful man, wonderful wife.....they give everyone hope for the future of mankind
lt is hard to believe this great human being abused his wife. And it is impossible a man who abuses his wife can raise 5 adopted children. The children happily told AGT that they had a great father, they wanted to be like Dad. Kids express what they have in mind. Do you think that you want to be like a person who likes to abuse people?
Wenny Eva Wenny you are passing judgement without knowing any facts. The testimony of one’s character is how they have lived their lives. Michael’s heart is evident in the sacrifices and the love he has demonstrated to his wife and his kids over the years.
@@ejlago9609sorry, people might misunderstand what l mean on my comment above. What l'm trying to say is the kids would not have said that he was a super fun dad if he had beaten others. Kids say what they have in mind. You could see their happy face how they adore their dad.
Wenny Eva Wenny sorry Wenny, I did misunderstand, I agree with you :) have a great night
I'm glad this video was filmed which then Ketterer was a unknown nurse who would do occasional speaking appearances and on this momentous occasion he's telling his story on how he got involved adopting children and this to me may been his early build to wear he was bound to go and there is no doubt he's on a journey I sincerely hope will get him in the top 10. With that being said Michael Ketterer is our voice that's going to make our world a better place and with the lord with him he's going to make it happen. Thanks for filming this video and God bless to one and all.
Indeed he is the lrd will be with him throughout the competition that may be tougher than it's ever been the 4th week is past as soon as the live shows come Michael will give it his all to go all the way and be AGT winner of 2018.
What a powerful story! You are an amazing man, god bless you and your family always 💓
