I've been sober 6 years now!! Praise GOD!! Seek first His Kingdom and all things will be added unto you. Keep going! It keeps getting better and better my friend ❤

Please pray that i can get him to watch this so he can be saved he probably doesn’t have that many years left 💔 He won’t watch this stuff when i send it to him but if everyone can pray somehow someway he opens his heart and ends up watching it maybe it will plant a seed. 🙏🏻

I was standing in my living room when he came to me, my vision closed out, and I want to describe it like a light, but it wasn’t and he put the words in my mind. I didn’t hear a voice, but he told me he had been trying to get through to me for sometime now and that I was going to need him very soon, two weeks later, I was diagnosed with cancer.

    After a successful medical career, I found myself going through a tough divorce and the family courts. I was raised in the church, but never really embraced Scripture. I was down and out living in my medical office when I read his book. I renewed my vows to Christ, was fully baptized, and served The Lord for several years.
    Fast forward a decade.
    Now, I was back on my feet and living large. I had all the luxuries of life and had abandoned my obedience to the Lord.
    And right in the middle of that opulent lifestyle, something changed.
    The Holy Spirit moved in me, and for the last 2+ years, I’ve been immersed in the Bible several hours a day.
    I’ve never been closer to our Lord.
    Oh, what a feeling it is….to be sanctified. Praise the Lord!

    When I was 14 years old, Korn was my favorite band. I came to Christ at 17 and threw away all my Korn cds and all the other cds that I felt were not good for me. I even prayed for the bands of the albums I threw away, that they would come to Christ. At least one of those prayers was answered in Brian Welch. That and apparently the band Cold. It makes me so happy.

      Just talk to Jesus yourself. Israelites had to do blood sacrifices to cover their sins, but Jesus Christ was a perfect, sinless blood sacrifice. He suffered the consequences of your sin so that you don't have to. But He also reconciled us back to God. This means that you can talk to God yourself, you don't need a middle man. You can talk to Him anywhere , anytime, for any reason, in any way you choose. You have that authority bc the Creator is your Father. And unbelievablely, He so desperately wants to hear from YOU. You talk to any & every person you come across, but you just keep ur Heavenly Father hanging, without a word. Ever.
      Whether you talk to Him silently in ur mind, or aloud, He hears EVERYTHING you say. He is so interested in every single little aspect of your life, He loves you SO much. If you're honest with Him then He can help you. Even if it means you're so angry that you go off , at least ur honest, He responds to honesty.
      He knows we are made of dirt. He knows we try everything under the sun to gain satisfaction. But He still challenged you, He said "Try ME"
      Nothing in this corrupt world can ever satisfy your heart. You'll feel pleasure , temporarily, but itbfades, so u live ur life chasing it.
      U don't have to. The Creator of the entire Universe sees YOU! He has His eye on you 24/7.
      Talk to Him honestly, open your heart to Him. He won't let you down if your sincere 🤍

      Dear Brother,i just found your message.I was going to last a message on this thread but decided to read the messages...I am. guitarist and musician..I started playing guitar in 1979.Over the years I was attacked spiritually and mentally...I smoked weed, took drugs and drank.I was heading down a dark path towards destruction even though I was raised as a catholic and carried a crucifix around with me in my guitar case...I still went down a path of abusing myself.I met a person whilst walking through a park with my flute and I started doing meditation which showed me the root cause of my mental state and addiction to sex,drugs,drink which was a real Molotov cocktail of poison...I meditated before I did a course and was always connected spiritually but I began to do real deep meditation and observed my cravings etc which caused suffering....I ended up having a break down and was at the edge of killing myself.I could sense forces wanted me to do it....But then I was taken up into a higher realm where I saw God as a sphere shifting shape.I was calling for help...This dream then changed my outlook and I knew that I had a purpose here on earth in a battle with the dark forces....I was hearing people say about putting on the armour of God but then in another dream I was shown that my spirit was powerful and I was being shown God in myself as that spirit...The dream was absolutely amazing and made me feel invisible.I woke up feeling totally empowered by the great spirit or Holy Spirit....[Same thing]....I had real spiritually connections to The hopi...I had another dream where I was in the tomb seeing Christ rise as a bright light...Since I was a child I have been psychic and seen spirits etc and even proved to people....I was walking a path of trials which were mental where I found people not understanding that spirit and also ridiculing it...I watched the film Mel Gibson made and saw how Herod mocked Christ and all the court were laughing at christ...People laughing a shouting abuse to have him Crusified...I found a few years ago a you which stated that Christ has risen in us.From what I studied and learned the the christ consciousness is the heart sutra in Tibetan.It is Compassion and love....So I would like to say that you are the spirit of god and christ has risen within you and so we take up our cross every day in life and we are also mocked and ridiculed by those people who do not have that awareness in thier hearts of the creator great spirit...I saw the earthed formed because that spirit showed me..Just as I was shown the celestial sphere from which we all come from....I was exactly where you are and crying is a good thing brother its part of healing..So do not give up the world still has many genuine people who really care for all life.The Hopi pray for all beings...I hope and pray that the great spirit will fill you up with great power and joy so that you like me overcome that which wants to pull you down...Soar like and eagle my friend because that power of the great spirit is more powerful in you than your depression...it is true that your spirit was with the great spirit before you were born...Peace be with you always and may the creator bless you with much joy and spirit in these times...Do not fear because all will come to pass away...In the past all empires were destroyed and the spirit moved the earth so do not worry about what the liars say because in the beginning there was no lie just as in the end there will be no lie...Walk the path of peace in line with the creators path and live in harmony with earth...Peace brother

    KORN literally got me through my teenage years and school. I have always believed in Christ but I still loved KORN. When I sang along I could feel everything inside of me release and I felt understood and not alone. That’s what music does for people. It unifies us. Christ is there but as a teenager I didn’t feel the christian music could meet me where I was inside. So I’m glad I had the music to connect to back then. I am almost 40 now and the Christian song I connect to now is “Even if” by mercy me because that is REAL. I hope you don’t ever regret your early life because some of us needed you!

As I grew, I found out how quickly you can fall into this pit. I've overdosed and died. What I seen during my near death experience was powerful enough to break the chains. Running into Korn a few times after Brian's "breakdown" he was a new man. Supportive every way possible. We love you brian.

    So glad you guys are embracing Brian.
    I am a rocker saved by grace, also with the realization that there are pockets of people under the tent of Christianity who are harsh judges, they seem to misunderstand grace while at the same time singing that grace is amazing.
    Some of these people have declared Head to be false. I know in my faith and in prayer that Brian changed drastically. I have been a Korn fan since their first album, I could tell right away that Head was saved, he changed.
    Bless you guys.
    His decision to return to the band has brought many to Christ. If anyone reading this feels judgemental, try prayer and maybe review passages of Scripture which declare that while we were sinners God loved us so much that He sacrificed Himself through His Son, to obliterate our sins forever. God's LOVE is the key and permeates through all of us who have answered the call of salvation through belief in Him. Where sin abounded, grace flooded. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. We are all members of the same body, so the eyes should never tell the ears they are not needed because they can't see. We all need each other, to pray for each other and praise God together.

    This guys testimony has inspired me. I grew up in church just never fit in or seemed to live up to other peoples standards. At about 17-18 I rebelled. It always seems as if the “wrong” crowd is the most accepting so I went that way wholeheartedly drugs alcohol, witchcraft even became a not very famous metal musician. I still feel like I get looked down on because of the length of my hair etc. in most churches. It’s become very apparent to me that Christ died for all and wants a personal relationship with all. Not just those that have the perfect haircut or those that wear a 3 piece suit or even those that attend church twice on Sunday and once on Wednesday.

    I'm so happy for Brian! I love hearing other people's testimonies! The most surprising thing about giving my life to God was how He actually made me into a new person. There was a time when I was living a very sinful life that I didn't think I could give up, and didn't want to give it up, but after giving my life to Christ, I woke up one day and all of the sinful things I thought I loved, turned me off completely! There wasn't even any temptation anymore. For the first time, I could see clearly.
    If life isn't working for you, if you feel lost, alone, if you're hurting, depressed, or physically ill, just reach out and call His name. Like Brian said, He is always close by, eager to embrace you and fill you with His grace and love. You will never regret it!

    Thank God I never did drugs. I hate the smell of alcohol. Born again at 10 and lived in a agnostic home. Yes, the Lord sets us up for our future. Great testimony!

    I was a Christian before Brian welch was and I was a huge fan of his and of the band I remember when he got saved reading comments where people said I'd rather he had died of a drug overdose then have found religion some people are just so wicked I am moved by this man's testimony

    Fantastic interview. I went away from alcohol and into church when my wife was pregnant with my first son... I knew I had to be there. And I felt the presence of Christ through my son's eyes at his first Easter. ❤

    When you headbang, put your back into it and go low and slow. This story is so inspiring. I can't even describe how much

    Love korn, grew up with korn. Love metal, grew up with metal. I lost track with metal when I discovered punk. 10 years later after giving my life to Christ, seeing Brian on a UA-cam video as a Christian, brought a tear to my eye man. I went back to my old metal folders and hearing korn again after like 15 years was awesome
