      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
      Welcome to the family.

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.

    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.

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.

    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”.

    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 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!

      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!

    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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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 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.

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.

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.
