Please pray and fast so you can have a hair cut because you want to honor God by not covering His glory with your long hair.
A man of God is supposed to wear his hair short so he can reveal the glory of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11

@@moninejeanfrancoisacceus6974Really, what about Samson in the Bible...God's glory is all in him, around him everywhere 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
@@moninejeanfrancoisacceus6974 ma’am if you were praying and fasting you would not have missed all that God just did and spoke. God is not concerned with law and hair. Please let every man or woman walk in the calling THEY are called. Comment was not necessary after such a serious testimony. He has a calling to minister to those you may condemn due to how they look. I am Spirit filled and I say with boldness Gods ways are not ours. Pray for him to keep walking in the Spirit not looking at the outward. I get your heart but inappropriate.
Amazing. I’m a police officer in DC from where this young man is from. In fact, Paradise is in my beat! I tell you it’s rough. I see so many sad cases of kids lost to violence. Just when you think there is no hope, this young man gives his testimony of how God saved him and turned his life around. God is always at work. In darkness, God’s light shines brightest. Praise God!🙏
I’ve lived there my entire life since the 80’s and I’ve seen so much and have done so much but the Lord Jesus has been so faithful TGBTG ✝️🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
Praise God man! Thank you for the work that you do, praying all of DC experiences revival, especially the hood!
Thank you for your service and your heart.
Praise God. Your saving lives. God uses you. God has his plans.
Brother Christ saved me but man if someone else really helped me in my life it’s you keep this story going please God is so great
Hallelujah. My brother was sentenced to 96 years in 1996. He was considered a habitual offender even though he'd been addicted to drugs since he was a teen. He accepted the sentence as he had found Christ and saw it as saving his life. At his reconsideration years later, they knocked off 80 YRS!!! His sentence was 16 yrs. He is now a Minister, Married and blessed with his own son.
TGBTG ✝️🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽
@@RayDugga God bless you. Your testimony has blessed many, I pray the Lord use you mightily and bless you Abundantly for your diligence. IJN, Amen
Glory to God
Wow!
96 years?? So he committed a violent murder or *several* murders? Had to have to get that much time. So how in the world did they knock *80 YEARS* off of such a violent crime to get you almost a century of prison time? That *has* to be some kind of world record, there should be articles all about it online.
This young man just changed my life without knowing it. I have been so angry with the guy from NW DC who murderd my brother, who was just getting started with his life heading to college. My brother was an amazing and good person and did not deserve death. I commend this young man because he is sincerely remorseful. To bad the monster that murdered my brother has shown no remorse. I will never forget. They took a piece of my heart when this crime was committed. Thanks to this testimony, i will never forget but I am going to try to let go and let God. Thank yo, young man.
Praying for you 🙏🏽✝️🙌🏽❤️
I will pray for you and your family.
Wow! May God bless you❤️
Wow. Hallelujah.
AMEN! Praise God for this. I was a victim of crime. I forgave the young man though I did not have the opportunity to tell him. I pray he was able to know God in prison to know that He had forgiven him. 🙏🏽✝️
Its crazy when he says “you know God is singling you out when you get in trouble for things that everyone else always gets away with”. My Whole Entire Life I felt this way. And I used to always be resentful that I would get in trouble for even the smallest things that everyone else around me was doing any time I barely stepped out of line. It always had the feeling of “Nope. You don’t get to be like this. This is not for you. This isnt who you are”.
Now I understand. ✨
I thought about that too.
Me too! The good Lord placed a hedge of protection around us and prevented disasters before they could occur. Praise the Lord!!❤
I felt this too as well
Wow!!!
For real! That's MY LIFE. I have started saying that I'm not allowed to move like everybody else, Im cut from a different cloth, cause I CANNOT do ANYTHING that everybody else does without getting in trouble. Jesus is like "Nope.Nope.Nope". I be like "You right, I surrender"
I was in jail fighting a first degree murder charge in 2005. My mom came down to see me every week and she even walked to the jail at times 🥲. I prayed to God that it wasn't me and i confessed to God of the things that I did do in them streets. He brought me home in 2008 after the jury found me not guilty. When I received my Class A CDL and I never wanted the streets anymore. His testimony was deep 🙏🏾
I'm so greatful to God for your testimony. People need authentic, honest and compassionate truth to believe with God all things are possible. This is the evidence! This young man is a truth seeker and has a personal relationship with God not religion. I'm 74, and his testimony is so piwerful. Thank God you're free and doing well.
That's a testimony it so clear you know GOD first hand.
Thanks for sharing your testimony.
🙏Amen

When I first started watching this i was angry because my 18 year old son was murdered. After listening to this kid...I knew I had a lot of work to do on MYSELF! I believe God can change whoever wants to be changed. I am really proud of this guy
I’ll be praying for you TGBTG ✝️🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽
@@RayDugga THANK YOU! I am SO PROUD of you!!!
Sorry you lost your son. May God give you comfort give you strength and get you through this process.
I’m so sorry for tour loss. I can only imagine the pain you endure daily. May the lord Our God comfort every thought in Jesus name.
Thank you for understanding God's process in this young man's life, I'm sorry you had to endure such a tragic moment in your life. I believe God wanted you to watch this and show you how deep is his love for you ❤️ and for everyone else. I admire you for being so brave not only to watch this but to realize that change is what we need to get this young kids out of the streets to reduce violence and only God can change life's this way 💙 May he bless you with his presence from this point on 🙏😇 I will pray for you and your family.
I was a correctional officer for years. I learned to have empathy for many inmates. The whole experience became spiritual to me.
I can tell you right now, I would have totally taken to this guy. His spirit is so genuine. I am totally intrigued with how simple and easy he made truth truth! What a beautiful Sunday you made for me!
Thank you!!!
TGBTG ✝️🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
I am at my desk crying at work. Praise the Lord God almighty, may you be glorified through this testimony to others who need to hear it. Amen ♥️
My son was born with 615 grams doctors said he had a 96% chance he wouldn’t make it. And if he did he would have a serious handicap situation. 3 months in the intensive care unit 2 months in the infant unit. Doctors were shocked he made it with no handicap issues this year Nathan will make 11 years old. Thank you Jesus. A miracle indeed.
🙏🙏🙏
God is better than Good HES GREAT!!!!💖💖💖💖 AMEN
Amen praise the Lord 🙌🏽🙏🏾🙌🏽
This is a powerful testimony continue running for the Lord love ❤ this I will share this may God continue to Bless you and your Family with overflow of Blessings
Thank you GOD and JESUS CHRIST 🙏 🙏🙏 and HOLY SPIRIT for this precious Little Prince to live AMEN
When he said "Jesus is my bunk buddy" I just dropped my phone and fell to my knees crying... the sheer joy that radiated from him when he said that, I felt it in my soul....
This testimony has changed the entire trajectory of my life.
😢
Amen!
Shame this so called Jesus was not there to stop him murdering then, now as you believe the person murdered may not have believed in Jesus and is now in hell, and the man who killed is all forgiven, such 🐂**** is what religion is all about. Murder, rape, child molester and kill, and be forgiven. 🤔🤨🥱🥱
I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭
🔥🙏
This guy is the modern day example of the murderer that was on the cross next to Jesus when he was being crucified that the murderer acknowledged who Jesus is and Jesus said on this day you will be in paradise. 😭😭🙏🏽💙
Wow you're right!
😭
Praise God no one can have an encounter with CHRIST and remain the same
This testimony deserves to be shared world wide in prisons, in schools. If that's His will, this is powerful to shows that when God calls and you answer you can have life. The impossible is possible and just the transformation He does in our lives and how us being used brings others to Christ!
Amen
" When God calls and you answer is correct," we must answer...
Amen and Amen
When he said "jesus is my bunk buddy." made me cry. I felt love from my screen.
Amen!!! Absolutely agree!!! Hallelujah, the Lord is amazing!
I am listening to this while praying for my nephew to surrender his life to Christ. He is currently in prison for murder and looking at 20 years. Lord You did it for this guy, do it for my nephew! 🙏🏽
I'm praying for my grandson as well 🙏🏾. ❤ Let's keep praying.
Very Good and encouraging
Be strengthened, built up in His word daily. King James Bible.
Amen. May the lord guide your nephew
Never stop sewing seeds

"God is for me, not against me!" This conviction makes us victorious! What a powerful testimony of God's saving grace in Christ! You have such a beautiful smile brother Raynard. Praying for you and the victim's family. May God continue using you for His glory!
Dugger's genuineness throughout his testimony is what really touched me. In my opinion, authenticity baths every word this young man spoke. Angels rejoice! I rejoice! Jesus is real, folks! I would have him spend the weekend with me, my family and my congregation anytime. Let me know your thoughts, Dugger. 💞
That's what I felt as well❤😊. Sooo genuine ,and humble.
So about this guy, I met him in November at a TSNL conference in Atlanta. He gave me my first deliverance session, I didn’t think I needed it, some how he did tho and I felt the enemy tough against this man, but I got deliverance, had no idea that this was him. ❤❤❤❤ He’s doing great if anyone is wondering 🎉🎉🎉
Wow TGBTG love you sister
@@OFFICIALHOMECHURCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you brother, God bless you
God bless you Olivia!
Lol right. I know him from a mutual friend and I was scrolling UA-cam and was like “don’t I know him?” I met him quite a few times but I didn’t know he was convicted of murder. My friends and I ran into him and some of his friends at TSNL where he briefly mentioned that he had done a testimony video and I’m just now running across it. This is such a powerful story and showed me that you never know what someone has gone through bc of God’s transformative power.
So awesome to know!!!! I’m apart of TSNL and it’s an awesome ministry. So I’m glad to hear that you and this young man are apart of the ministry as well!! Hallelujah!!
This testimony needs to be played in every prison, in every theater, on every screen! This testimony is a blessing and is soooooo beautiful. Wow! Glory be to God. This brother is awesome!
Such an awesome testimony of God, who made a beautiful cathedral out of a life of rubble. I pray God would send him to do prison ministry as his testimony would have a great impact on the incarcerated. I would like to remind him that the first murderer Jesus exchanged His life for was Barabbas. That was His specific purpose for coming to earth, not to save the righteous but to call sinners to repentance. I'm so happy for his encounter with Jesus. He not only transformed his life but changed his destiny. That's the God we serve!
Thank you for sharing your amazing victory. Your testimony is awesome, I know that God is alive in every situation God or bad. I can see the joy of the Lord is your strength. I love his personality, not proud of what he did ,but realy sorry.Wanting to take your life and God step in is amazing victory. Every one should hear this testimony. I love your pashon for Christ Jesus Hallelujah. This is the way I feel about living for Jesus. Jesus said His sheep know His voice. I am praising God with you and for you. I trust his family understands what God did.
I agree. My husband is doing time for something he did not commit but hung out with the wrong people. I Pray everyday 🙏
I so agree with you Britney. Such a beautiful testimony.
I totally agree!
This testimony is an exhibit of God’s forgiveness and faithfulness. God is good.
He is so articulate and well spoken. This is a powerful testimony. "You want to do life with me?" So... powerful.
Why wouldn't he be? Non people of color really need to stop saying this. It's an insult. You'd never say this about a white person.

What are y'all talking about??
This man is giving a testimony on how Jesus Christ has come into his life at the right time.
The word of God teaches us when father and mother forsakes us, He will take us up. (Psalms 27:11 KJV)
Parents don't have to be dead or bad. THE LORD chooses when He needs us for His work and that's been determined from the foundation of the Earth.
Being 'good' and having 'morals' doesn't mean ANYTHING; according to scripture. You can be a good little person and STILL hit hell wide open; because your ways do not reflect God, do not line up to God's principles, and (most of all) not transformed into the image of God through His son Jesus Christ.
This man didn't find Jesus. Jesus introduced Himself to this man; showing him a new and better way... and that's in Jesus.
There is NO GOOD outside of GOD the Creator!
I'm a hood dude and always being hard is in my day to day life. I heard this song and just broke down in tears. All this pain building up inside me needed a release. Waking up this morning felt different and I see why. GOD is Shifting my life as i write this. Beautiful song GOD BLESS 🙌
Blessings to you
WOW! Respect to you my brother. May The Lord Jesus Christ protect and guide your every step.....All praises and glory be to Yahweh The Father!!!!
Draw close to God, & He will draw close to you ♥️
TGBTG bro 🙏🏽✝️🙌🏽❤️
No need to try and be hard. Just be you. You have nothing to prove.
My dad did street and prison ministry when I was little. One guy had a long long journey to Christ but basically got there shortly after being caught. On his trial he casually told his lawyer to shut up and confessed to everything. He said he _was_ sorry but expected no sympathy. He said he'd take his punishment as he knew he deserved it but God's forgiveness was his so come what may. The judge got quiet for a bit then finally explained that he had presided over a trail against him some years back and he was impressed by the change. Long story short, he got life in prison BUT in a minimum security prison. He only served a few years before he saved a guards life. Its a long story in of itself but basically he and some other prisoners were send with guards to fight a wildfire. The guard over him was injured after falling off of a ledge, breaking both legs. In stead of running, he got help for the guard. The medics said that the bone had nicked an artery and he came close to bleeding to death even though he got help relatively quickly. The guy was issued a pardon and was released from prison after the investigation into the incident finished.
Amazing!
wow that is amazing he was released!
Wow, wow, wow! Nothing is impossible for God!
Powerful testimony
God Bless !! I hope he is still doing well to this day
This man has a hidden talent for story telling Give him a book deal immediately.
I was thinking this was I hear him speak
Or a movie of his life with his voice narrating it! Kind of how The Temptations movie went, where Otis narrated it.
This is one of the most amazing testimonies I have ever heard…. I receive this in my personal life as well as my loved one who is also incarcerated and to witness how God is working in his life has been impactful on my spiritual journey… watching this testimony is confirmation.. Lord Jesus I love you so much please continue to be a blessing to this man…. This was truly amazing!! ❤ I’m so touched
His excitement about God is so contagious and fresh. Hallelujah!
I was thinking the same, he really has the joy of the Lord🤗
Ditto ditto! It’s contagious. I’m always in Aw seeing the glory of God in people and how it just absolutely softens them. This PURE peace and joy that resonates in someone’s entire being is only from God and Jesus. Hallelujah praise Him!!!!!
🙏♥️💪🏾

My daughter was murdered back in 2008. It was God who kept me and my family and has brought us through all the grief, hurt, and pain. They never charged anyone for her murder and she left behind 3 children and a husband. I pray often that someone would admit or have a change of heart as you. I believe one of the perpetrators is dead, but one is still alive. I have forgiven him, but it's so hard to continue on without her, but I know that in being a Child or the King, I will see her again one day and that God is the answer to all the violence and anger these days. I pray you continue to let others know your story and how God changed you. It blessed me today.
Praying for your family
God bless you and your family🙏
May God bless you love!🙏🏽🤲🏾❤️
Bless You Daughter of God-Jesus Christ.
May bless you and the family she left behind.
I just want to say that this testimony really touched me. I’ve watched many testimonies on this channel but this one was different. The joy of the Lord radiating off of him is so apparent. It nearly brought me to tears. Even writing this is making me emotional because I see how God truly gives us everything we need. I’ve been struggling with feeling like I’m not hearing from God and it left me feeling hopeless but after hearing this testimony so much peace and faith has come over me. Praise God! And I pray that Ray’s life continues to be blessed and that God continues to use him to preach to people ❤️🙌🏽
I feel the same way! His testimony really opened my eyes & my heart
This young man has spoke so much wisdom. Through simple and everyday vocabulary, which I feel the world needs to hear so they can relate. Not just a pastor in a church saying the things that he's saying. But this is your everyday person that has gone through and still continues to go through what we go through on daily basis. I am so honored to have heard this message. This testimony and shared it with family and friends. I pray God's blessing for tection. Grace and mercy over him and his family 3 day. Thank you so much for this testimony it has blessed me In ways that I can't even find the words for it right now. Just thank you. Thank you, Lord through who you are. And for who you are to us your children
“I was amazed He wanted me”. That really stuck out to me. This was a powerful testimony. Gods love for his creation is endless. Yes, God can even use a former murderer. It doesn’t matter what we have done, there’s nothing we have done that Jesus Christ did not die for at Calvary.
I still don't think God wants me, but I love testimonies like these.
Absolutely nothing but blasphemy of His HOLY SPIRIT!! What an endlessly wondrous GOD we serve, worship & adore!! 💃🏽🔥💛🙌🏾✨💫🐕🦺💃🏽🙌🏾🩸💛
@@mariadominguez116 you’re right he doesn’t “want you”…He already has you. He designed you. He created you. He hears you and He is there with you now! Just began to smile
😊 and believe it
@@RayDugga thank you for your kind words
@@EnduringwithCHRIST what does it mean to blaspheme the holy spirit?
He forgave Paul that was a murderer, he forgave Moses that murdered, he forgave David that was a murderer and adulterer with the wife of the person murdered. On and on he forgave so many people in the past and he forgave me that I thought I was so far gone. You're testimony is very inspiring.
My Son was murdered but because of Jesus, I forgave them. Thank you for your testimony. I got needed understandings by your ministry to me. Thank you so muc, my Brother in Christ. 😂
Delafe’ I am happy to have came across your video. I am a born again Christian, a senior, a vet. And a Walmart employee. Your testimony is very inspirational and I am sure you are reaching a lot of young people too! Keep trusting the Lord and you will experience the many blessings he has in store for you. Remember the enemy will still be there to still and to kill. You and your family be blessed.
This hits hard. 🔥 I’m as lost as anyone can be but to see this young man find hope, purpose and passion for Jesus, has encouraged me - it’s time to Try Him again. Thank you
Praise God 🙌🏽
Thank u Jesus Christ for saving this young man.u went to the highest mountain and flow to the lowest valley.your blood give this young man strength to salvation I praise u lord Jesus christ.for your love that ha
God is good
How's it going to far my brother?
I will paste the gospel below for you to read
In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. He created humans too to have a relationship with Him. That's our purpose as humans that have a relationship with God. Sin, however, messed that up because it made us imperfect and imperfect creatures cannot have a relationship with a perfect and holy God. That's why we so oftentimes feel empty, unsatisfied and unaccomplished because we're not in relationship with the God we were created to be in a relationship with. But that's where Jesus comes in. Jesus is God's son and He came down to earth in human form to live the same life we do yet unlike us He never sinned. Jesus is perfect. Yet despite the fact He is perfect He died on the cross for our sins and sacrifice Himself for us. The punishment for our sins is death but because Jesus took that punishment for us if we put our faith in Him and receive Him as Lord and savior we can be reconciled to God and be restored to that relationship we were created to have. And we can be sure that Jesus is the Son of God because on the 3rd day God raised Him from the dead and in that He defeated death and the grave, proving that He can do the same for us if we put our faith in trust in Him. That's how you get to Heaven. That's how you become full in your heart. That's how you become reconciled to the God who created you.
Live2Game yes try Jesus again. I believed. My life became so good. So much better than I could ever imagine. Some part of me still always felt I didn't deserve it. I had got off drugs sober six years and relapsed on alcohol. Got back on the wagon real quick and stayed sober 3 more years but beat the living hell out of myself the whole time for blowing my sobriety. I finally started drinking again. In the midst of it I was in an abusive relationship and knew God wouldn't want that for me so I said goodbye God and cried. Everything went to shit real quick. I was out drunk for about 2 1/2 years. One day after resigning to the fact that one day this man was gonna kill me eventually I had a nervous breakdown in the car and I had been drinking. I ended up on the wrong side of the road and hit four cars head on. On the way to the hospital I said the name God and he was back just like that and I knew I was safe before I passed back out. I was hurt real bad. I hurt someone real bad. I had never been in trouble with police. I ended up with a felony DUI charge and eventually had to do 2 years of a 2-5 prison sentence. I hated every second of it. God got me through. I stayed sober through it all. My ankle was so shattered I walked with a can 3 1/2 years. It was almost 10 years ago. I don't have my cane anymore. I can walk without it. I can work a professional job even with the felony on my record. In August I will be 10 years sober. I can sleep at night knowing I deserve a good life. I help who I can when I can. I always called the Power God and am finally able to comprehend how important Jesus is and what He went through for all of us. That is how much God loves us all. Through Jesus we are redeemed!!!! Now I just try to catch myself when I am slipping in to character defect or breaking the 10 commandments. I pray as soon as I realize and ask for help. Sometimes I pray for willingness to stop. Years of bad habits don't disappear overnight... but at least I have a righteous direction to walk towards. On my own I am a hopeless sinner. But with God I can not fail.
This guy is a great teacher, he’s really breaking down his testimony in a way that’s so simple to understand!
Oh yes....and am learning how grace practically looks like
@@m6likmerciles220 That God's grace does not waver notwithstanding our sin weaknesses guilt etc..It is because of that grace that we are saved, delivered and because of that grace we repent (change) of sin...that is a good lesson
@@m6likmerciles220 God forgives anyone who humbly calls on Himand ready to accept His forgiveness.
Amen
He had alot of time with zero distraction to think about it. Jail can be a blessing in disguise
I’m from DC and from paradise, I’m thankful for my mom, I was surrounded by the projects or hood, but didn’t experience drugs and that side of paradise. Thank you God for his testimony and that he met Jesus ❤

I listened. I cried. I could still see the fire of God burning in this young man. That message to the family who lost a loved one came from God himself.
Yes it did ✝️
He truly put a fire inside of me! Bless him.
Amazing testimony!! Amen praise Jesus Christ for saving us🙌🏾
Amen for this testimony . Continue to work for Good.
I couldn't agree more
I was hypnotised by that testimony. What a brilliant way to relate his story, to tell it, to make us live it with him. God bless you young man!
i’ve never been to jail nor have i murdered someone but i resonate so much with losing that spark but still trying to ignite it as well as accepting that God still loves me and wants to use me despite all of my wrongs/sins and the enemy trying to torment me w that. This testimony has blessed me sooo much and knowing i’m not alone really touches me as well. Thank you for this and thank you for leading me to this Lord🙏🏾
“When you draw close to Him,
He will draw near to you.”
This is possibly the most beautiful, authentic, powerful testimony I've ever seen and heard. When Raynard say's to the family, "Don't be mad at God.", I lost it. That was the most Christ-like, perfect message. He didn't make it about himself, he made it about God, without missing a beat. Thank you Raynard! I did not have an hour to invest in a video, but this was simply anointed. God bless you and your family Raynard. Praise Jesus Christ!
😢 tgbtg
Most authentic. I didnt mind it took me more than an hour of my Monday morning
My sentiments exactly!
Powerful heartfelt testimony! To God be the glory 😊
Thank you Raynard for your testimony which expressed the wonderful, unconditional love God has to offer. I can completely identify with rhe physical feelings and negative thoughts you experienced, and constantly ask God to help me to see and hear him clearly. Thank you once again and I believe God has so much more in store for you.
Blessings🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen
😢 ❤ thank you for your testimony. This touched me so much. I am a sister of a victim of homicide as well & your message to the family members was what I needed to 👂🏽. My brothers life was sacrificed to save many 💪🏽. Jesus is real! He's soon to comeback and I can't wait ⚔️♥️🫡🫶🏽
One of the most beautiful testimonies ive heard. Thank you Jesus❤
I’m not sure how I came across this young man’s testimony, but it is amazing!! I work at a group home for troubled teen boys, and his story from his teen years is where they are now.
He communicates so well, with such honesty and authenticity, in a way that anyone can understand and receive what he is saying.
I plan on sharing this with our boys in our Bible study time.
please do TGBTG ✝️🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽
Yes yes !!!
Same here. I work in a group home. It has a mixture of grown men and women. From day one came in there different than the other people that worked there in the facility. But I share things with them that nobody really shows them. So, I will definitely show them this and that the impossible is possible.
That will be a great idea. I pray for God’s touch and transformation on these boys.
He tells his story so well, gives me goosebumps. He makes me so excited about God
There's a man here on YT it's called the heaven tour with Brad Zoc the way this man speaks about heaven he makes you desire wanting to know Christ and heaven 😍
I'm from Baltimore city when I turned 13 yrs. Old I told both of my parents I'm leaving this city because if I don't leave I won't live long in this city. Long story short I moved to Oklahoma City and got a job with government at 13 when the law passed a bill for 13 yr. olds to to work in the States. This move saved my life. Now I'm in my 60's living a spiritual life and helping others to find their purpose.
This is my favourite testimony. This is my second time watching it. First time I watched it I was a brand new Christian just dipping my toes in it all. It really touched me then. But I back slid and the sin caused a lot of chaos in my life. re-watching this now I can relate to so many parts of what this man shared. It was a HUGE reminder of who God is and that He is ALWAYS there, that He can save and redeem. I’m getting so many messages that I needed through his testimony. There truly is power in sharing our testimonies. God bless this man and everyone reading this. God is capable of everything. He can part the ocean for us to walk through. He can help us fight our giants, He can perform miracles. God is so so good. May we all walk according to His will for our lives. Praise God. The cross is enough.
When he said, "God is my bunk buddy" he turned right back into a child and seeing that was so precious and PURE!
Seeing a mans inner child is something else.🥺💗
I pray for that child like faith again 😭

yes, that’s what I noticed too❣️
@saintsean respectfully sir Jesus said in Matthew 18:3 unless we change and become like little children we will never enter the kingdom of heaven I don't think anybody's trying to emasculate anyone rather showing the true state of how Jesus expects us to live in our faith
This just came across my feed. My son Caleb just got sentenced life in prison for murder. He received his State number last week and he's just waiting now to be shipped down south. He's in Alabama. This is my prayer for him. His name is Caleb. He's 22. It happened when he was 20
I’ll be praying for him momma in Jesus name ✝️🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽
♥️
Thank you. Many people don't understand. I pray that God continue to use you in this beautiful way in this very dark world.
I love this. You are a blessing. May God continues to bless you.
Caleb will not spend the rest of his life in prison in Jesus mighty name. He along with others Lord l pray have mercy, have mercy Lord, Have mercy
What an articulate, well spoken young man! I am impressed! I grew up not in the hood, but in a really poor country where violence, dometic violence, alchololism, teen moms were the norm. I know how hard is to escape everything you ever knew when you don't even know what other options are there! Really brave of him and I am happy to see how far he has come!
This man's high spirit is such a joy. Another beautiful testimony that SCREAMS that God is real and continuously working in our favor, AMEN! 🙌🏿❤
When he said he didn’t want to commit suicide not because he was depressed it because he felt he had no control of his life. That hit me differently. Glad he pulled thru
Me too ✝️🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
True
Keep the 🔥 fire burning Ray. God BlessYou Young Man. Love ❤️ ya
The tears are rolling hard down my face as I listen to his testimony. So beautiful. So free. So honest. So liberating. This is so so powerful!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
It truly is, reminds me of Saul to Paul testimony.
Glory hallelujah 🙌 all praise belong to God. Amen.
Jesus support murderer
You are the embodiment of God’s mercy. Thank you for your testimony. My aunt, cousin , along with my aunt’s goddaughter were murdered 1 year ago. I struggled with anger towards their murderer. Your testimony reminded me of the mercy of God. It helping to heal me.
I was close to ending the pain very recently. I thought of all the pain I'm in, how nothing makes sense in my life. My family, children and then I thought about my children and the pain I would cause them and God showed me I would only make things worse and cause more pain so here I am. I pray he delivers me and gives me hope and a bright future. I want to be happy and not so lonely, I want my life to have meaning and purpose. Only God can help me through. This cross is heavy. Not being able to talk to people because of how much I have built up. The burden would be too heavy to unload on someone else. I'm happy God delivered you. I pray he heals me too. 🙏🙏🙏
I feel what you're saying. I have similar feelings. Hang in there. I'm praying for you, me, all of us out here. I'm going to watch this video repeatedly because I don't want to forget all the wonderful things God did for him. He will do them for you too. He has for me. 🙌🏾♥️✝️
@@joannewman6014 Amen 🙏 Thank You. I hope you are restored too
I am a few months shy of my 70th birthday and I know a Pastor when I hear one. You have a true Pastor's heart. Please don't change a thing about yourself. Blessings to you and yours!
When he said God said "try me." Man tears came to my eyes. Listening to him share his story and what God did for him. This testimony was definitely worth sharing with the world.
😮😮😮
😢😢😢😢😢😢🎉😢 🎉
Amen!!!!!!!!
God never says “try me” because He is not a drug. In the Bible God says believe
Listen to with tears in my eyes, I am 29 and married, I'm a Christian too, I went court today, my case is going to a bigger court, the court revoke my bail, an give me back same time, no one came to bail me, because everyone is busy, the lawyer plead for time to the judge he say no, I start to cry in my heart, knowing I will spend Christmas in jail, then I heard the judge say, you have 5 days, I know God is working, my next court is 5 days time, I'm praying God will send someone to bail me, please help me pray.
I’ve watched many testimonials in my time, but this! Really left an effect on me. I can relate to so many things he said, even god saving me when I had suicidal thoughts and me feeling his mercy but confused to why me. This young man reminded me to remember when things get hard, don’t trust in men or circumstances, try him first ❤️🙏🏾
I have never heard someone explain the loss of a life the way this man preached it. This is so beautiful and the analogy of Christ dying on the cross to sacrifice and save so many souls was comforting. May the Lord continue to use you and protect you always. This video was posted on my birthday, I believe I got an extra birthday blessing from watching this video ❤🙏🏾
I know, i love how eloquent he is in intellectualizing in a Biblical manner the killing part.
In order to save many, someone has to die just like Jesus died on the Cross to save mankind.
It may sound unfair to us in our karnal thinking and understanding, but God is a just God.
That guy he killed might have been enjoying his afterlife in heaven right now.
But he had to die for the sake of others to hear the gospel from this guy.
@@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871 Exactly! Amen 🙏🏾
Happy B-Lated 🎉 🥳 im blessed that you were blessed by this testimony prayers up for you always in Jesus name 🙏🏽
Belated happy Birthday🥳🙌🏽
God bless you sister in Christ❤️🙏🏼
@@RayDugga Aww 🥰 thank you so much! 🙏🏾
That was such a beautiful testimony. God isn't here to heal the Christians, he is here to heal the broken.
A lot of the believers needs healing most have forgotten, this is powerful testimony
We all need healing. It’s a process…
Powerful
@@vanessajackson1388 a lot of believers need to BELIEVE since healing is already there.
@@abbyromero8837 Amen!!!!! Everyone!!
What a God we serve. This child will go on to win many souls for the kingdom of God
Amen!
I thank Jesus for changing my prejudice mentality against all his people especially those convicted for crimes that seem unfathomable to us on the other side of the fence. I did not even want to watch this video until I forced myself to lend an ear to what I had concluded would put me off. My mind is renewed and my perspective of life will never be the same after listening. To Christ our King be the glory.
Why do good things always have to come out of tragedy though?😢
I also have a testimony! 🙋
I love you in Jesus TGBTG ✝️🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
Brother, please share your testimony, I would love to hear it..
Because that's the best way to get our attention...when things are going great, we seem to forget about Jesus...it's only when we go through these "tragedies or tribulations" that he gets our attention...me included.
Only Jesus can take a tragedy and turn it into a miracle.
Listening to his testimony made me smile and cry of joy. All I could say in my mind is Thank God for his life. 😁
Hallelujah.
❤Me too, Praise GOD❤
Me too!!! Love you Jesus
I also cried and smile..2 GOD BE THE GLORY
He is so humble and lives in a state of gratitude. His testimony blessed my soul. I am rejoicing with this young man. God is so amazing. This was beautiful.
Yes, he is. And it truly blessed me too. He has a glow on him and I love it when he 😊 after saying the name of God. This is one of the BEST testimonies I've ever heard.God bless you young man.
@@esthermcknight5153 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!👌🙏👍
OH SO TRUE. GOD BLESS HIM AND KEEP HIM 🙏❤
Amen! I can relate to this testimony. I faced life in prison & rededicated my life during this time. Joined a church & one right after another each one of my kids got saved & then we all got baptized together. I plead down to a misdemeanor & got 2yrs probation. God is good!
Ray, thank you for your testimony . You have helped me and so many others to strengthen our faith.
I loved this testimony. I have one with many miracles similar to yours. I sold drugs to a friend and he overdosed and died and by God's mercy and grace I was freed from this. I did 11 years in prison due to addiction and now I'm clean, and I work for God
😇😇
Bendito Dios
Jesus te lleva siempre de la mano,
Awesome, awesomely wonderful. God bless your soul and keep you now and always brother.
Glory to God 🙏🏾
Amen praise God
I’m a youth leader, and I would love to have you speak your testimony to our young people. God bless you young man! Your testimony is changing lives. Only God can do that 🔥😭🙌🏼
Can we talk?

Yes we need more young people like him in our schools who relate to this generation.
This has been one of my favorite testimony videos from this channel. My God is so faithful and He keeps His promises! I love me some JESUS ❤️ Praise the Lord for this young man 🙌 he’s allowing the Lord to use his life to be a light in this dark world. This was so encouraging and it’s definitely a story of hope and faith. Love this!!!
This is like my 3rd or 4th time listening to this testimony. I keep coming back to this because its one of the most vulnerable, bold, honest, and clear examples of God's love for us I've heard in a while. God loves us while we were still his enemies, and not only loved us but brought us back home to God, our father, restored us, gave us a new identity and then invited us in his redemptive work. Jesus is all.
This testimony is amazing! I cried and I praised God. THIS, my brother, is ENOUGH to lead someone to Jesus! This is just wow
I'm 74 years old and listening to your testimony reminded me of something I've known for almost 50 yrs. Thank you for your honesty and may the Lord blessing you and your family. Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!
His voice makes the difference. Im so glad that you listened to that voice my brother. Keep testifying, keep teaching, keep preaching the Word. God is a forgiving God!
My lord jesus helped me out of addiction!! Praise the lord!!Amen. If we pray to him sincerely he answers. I was struggling with my addiction. I tried kicking the habit many times but fell back after some time but finally overcame it with Our lords help. Amen.
I'm going through this right now.😢
To Raynard Dugger, someone had to die in order to save you because Jesus knew that I would need to hear your testimony and save me too! Thank God for you!
Glory to God hallelujah 🙏🏾♥️
Amen
I actually sat still and watched his testimony for the last hour. It was no mistake that I came this video while looking for a movie review. We have to continue to trust and lean on God for he is always there waiting like the loving father that he is. Being a Christian for over 22 years I have struggled also with shame, condemnation, guilt, and that God is upset with me. God is love and just wants us to continually trust him. Praying for you sir that you will continue to spread the gospel and love of Jesus. All the best to you.
Amen to that.
Amen my Brotha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was outstanding. God never ceases to amaze me, and from time to time I think how is it possible that you love others just the way you love me. You love me so well I think I'm the favorite, and then I hear a testimony and I'm like wait a minute you love them too like you love me, yet there is no lack. What a MIGHTY God we serve.
This Testimony is soo precious. Thank you all so much 🙌🏾
All the glory be to our Lord Jésus-Christ ✝️🫶🏾❤️🫶🏾
His testimony was so powerful. I pray that the family of the victim feels and sees God's presence all around him. This truly moved me. God is more than amazing.
Amen💝
A friend of mine sent this to me and at first I was like I'm not about to sit here and listen to this for over a hour but I did and this testimony was so powerful that I just couldn't stop listening to him. To have an experience like that with God doesn't happen to often to many people but I can say this young man found God. Ir was something he said that I can't get out of my head and there are many but the main one he said he had to take someone's like to be saved. I hope one day he does get to talk to that family. No it won't be easy or even kind or accepted but I think it would give both of them some type of closure to be able to move on. Forgive but not forget because that's impossible. But great words of encouragement
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️
To God Be The Glory....
Love you testimony it inspired.
Your Love For God Is Contagious. 💙💙💙 Thank you for Sharing....
Oh my God I would sit for hours and listen to this young man testimony
Wow that is very intense I am happy for you
God found him
I pray millions and millions of people hear this young man’s testimony . It’s beautiful!!
Me too for the glory of God ✝️🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽
I absolutely agree. I've shared it to my famly and frieds and pray tbey do tbe same. This need to be played in churches as well.
@@ceejanebryant5879 I totally agree. I shared it to my Facebook page. And sent to my granddaughter. ❤️
🙌
to God be the glory great things he has done 👍
Such an amazing testimony! I struggle with believing I have to pay for everything with God too. 20 years homeless and I met God in the beginning of the 20 years. But I'm still believing. I relate at "where else am I gonna go? There's nowhere else to go." Nothing else to do but keep on truckin'and believing.
🌹🤍🌹 I know it's hard to feel special to God when life is so dark but I feel led to tell you that His love for you is so deep... It's hard to understand sometimes... Just trust...... Always trust.... And remember, God said, " my children do not have, because they do not ask" ask Him for everything... Every single thing...... Hang in there...I will be praying for you🌹
Thanks for having this brother in Christ here to tell his story. I was raised in the DMV area and can relate to some of those childhood struggles. Praise Jesus! When he said he had the connection with God the being not the religious person, I felt that. To add, I mostly struggle with how to incorporate worship through my day, he put it so simply. Amazing!
15 years ago I had a very similar experience, I wrote a book about it. Your amazing testimony brought it all back to me. I’m sat here in the UK, tears streaming, remembering, contemplating. Praise God, when we are at our lowest and our heart’s are open, he steps in!
Praise God for your Testimony. Hello to you from one UK sis to another 👋☺️
Amen 🙏❤️
Amen! Praise God!
Glory to God......
When God above all gods is for u nothing cannot stop u prayer is the key it open doors and close doors never give up

This was an amazing testimony and the fact that, that the one who passed at his hands didn't die in vain. Moved me to tears. That his precious life is bringing people back to Christ. 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
I am 41 years old. I’ve been saved since I was 8 years old, rededicated my life to Christ when I was 18, parents are pastors and I myself am in full time ministry. Ministry has been my life for ALL my life. This is one of 2 of the BEST testimonies I’ve every heard. Praise God

What a wonderful testimony. This young is correct...Try Jesus. My son has been locked up for 9 yrs now and he has also accepted the Lord in his life. He will be coming home soon. God is an awesome God in everything that he does for us.
You are a great solder of Christ Delafe.
Wow that was deep , your testimony is a blessing to yourself and others that’s currently facing any type of adversity . God is the way maker to any problem we have in life . I just pray anybody that come passed this testimony is blessed by it in Jesus name , Amen 🙏🏾
My brother is currently in prison, and our family feels the pain of this situation everyday. This testimony has given me hope that things will be better with Jesus !
God bless u all
Amen. It gives me hope as well. Just know that this didn't find us by chance. That this finding us is not a coincidence.
I pray Christ delivers him
I grew up in a muslim family.
Jesus saved me!
Mines is as well.. he gave up on Christ . I’m praying for him. Also, this wasn’t by a coincidence.. my client wife kept talking about how things were wen her son who was once incarcerated. They use to go around to visit other inmates in different prisons. She also, asked a lot of questions about my brother.. so Yahh.. I’m not sure what God is telling me. But I’ll definitely tell my brother about this video. Wish it was a way he can watch it
I spent years begging God for His fire and in 2020 I became deathly ill and was in ICU on a ventilator for almost 3 weeks. I had a experience with angels then Jesus which has lit the fire of His love for me. Thank you for this beautiful testimony, it helped me to hear His love for this wonderfilled man!
You are a new creation in Christ! All the old is gone.
Man brother, what a testimony and the fire and joy in your heart just pours forth. You are truly transforming left foot, right foot, glory to glory, praise Jesus!!!! Wonderful testimony of the redeeming grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This testimony has built my faith, stronger than ever. Thank You Jesus 🙌🏾
😢 TGBTG
The smile and laugh he casually does while telling his testimony is sooo amazing!! You can see the joy of the lord on his face 🙏🏽😄
Praise God. Jesus is so amazing. My significant other is in prison right now. He’s given his life to Christ and I’ve got the fire out here in the real world waiting for him to get out to. Prayers for Fitzroy 🙏🏼 great share thank you brother
