She has experienced loss, abuse, suicide attempts... And yet with Jesus, she has such a loving, strong heart. I have never met a woman like her. Please pray God will bring miracles into her life, and turn her situation around. I ask in Jesus name, Amen!!!

*5:116 Holy Qur'an*
وَإِذْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ يَـٰعِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ ءَأَنتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ ٱتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّىَ إِلَـٰهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِىٓ أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِى بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِن كُنتُ قُلْتُهُۥ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُۥ ۚ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِى وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ مَا فِى نَفْسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ ١١٦
When *Allah* will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary, did you tell people, “Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah?” He wills say, “Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no right. Had I said so, You would have surely known it. You know what is within myself, whereas I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, You are the *All-Knower* of all unseen.
IN PRAYER FOR YOU RIGHT NOW IN JESUS PRECIOUS NAME
Repent. Ask Jesus to come into your life and truly love and believe in him and Gods Word
You are forgiven. You are forgiven. YOU ARE FORGIVEN! MY FELLOW SERVANT IN CHRIST!Jesus loves you. We are fellow members of the body of Christ. No matter how badly we have fallen, Jesus loves us. We cant out sin His grace. Sin is strong, but Jesus is stronger. If you need help comment back. We can talk. Also they poison us so much in this world. So much poison. Please pray and read bible, and also consider taking b1 vit. It can help with mental issues. It helped me a lot! We can still do so much still in the life. The guilt is really bad, trust me I know, but that is the Holy Spirit. It means you are saved. :) you can still be used by God. If we repent the Lord is just and righteous to forgive us our sins. 1 john 1:9.
Jaime, we all make mistakes don't condemn yourself. Give it all to Jesus. He is the waymaker, promise keeper, light in the darkness and He loves you and so do I.❤🙏
It is 3am right now. I have been in a battle like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. This video just randomly came through in my feed. I was also raised in church. Very involved in youth group, activities, etc… things happened where I turned away from all of it and have been gone for so long. Jesus and my beliefs have always been there. Only when I want to listen. Now I’m almost 40 and something inside me is screaming to get back. I feel so lost. I’m tired of failing. This video came at such a random time… thank you for sharing your story
Hey John you got this just ask the LORD for more faith and to help you bring you closer to him to be brought back to your rightful place as his son jesus shed his blood for you that you can be called his son god sent his only begotten Son for us I pray you come back to the LORD stronger than ever accept his love
YESSIR COME BACK TO HIM thus it is written if you seek the lord you will find him if you knock the door will be opened.
Same boat. 45 and been away from God for a while. I’ve had this tug at my heart for a while and am coming back to Jesus day by day. Prayers for you brother. God loves us more than we can imagine 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
God works through everything to reach you. I'm so glad you saw this too
Same for me... I just need the Lord to help me! I need You Jesus!!!! please Father, help me in Jesus name
I wasn’t raised in church and when I got with my husband at the age of 18 I’m now 41. He was raised in church and he taught me how a gf and wife was suppose to be cause all I never saw was my mom partying and cheating. Long story short my husband brought me to God and he still teaches me things I don’t understand. I’m so thankful for God bring him into my life.
Amen!
Hallelujah
That's amazing, Ryan! I hope that your husband continues to teach you about Biblical marriage and what Biblical womanhood is!
Glory to GOD
I backslid for many years. God has delivered me from nicotine, alcohol, cocaine and some other things this year. I am no longer lukewarm thank you Jesus 🙏
Nicotine is so hard to quit I’m 9 days
Thats amazing! Praise the Lord!
@@drewski8138 u got this. God is good 🙏
Amen 🙏
Plz pray for my husband to come back to God plz...he struggles is nicotine and other things.
Brother, Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. I am also a backslid Christian who went through very similar things but now I am finding myself back to the Lord through His unconditional love, mercy, and grace. I met the Lord compelling way in 1989 on June, 27th. I remember as a baby Christian when I got back home after being saved, I hid myself in the closet and started praying for the first time. All I said to the Lord was, "Father, I know I am a sinner and I am a human being, I know I will sin again as I live in this world and I know I will fall again, but Lord please do not forsake me if I fall." I remember at the moment the peace that I have never felt and experienced in this world overcame me and I heard the Lord saying, "I will never forsake you, my son." I remember coming out of closet with the most peaceful heart and felt as angels were dancing around me. As I was growing in faith I lost all my friends but Lord always kept me filled with Holy Spirit and I had the most best and beautiful times in my life when I was walking with Him and able to hear Him and even laugh with Him time to time. I had experienced God so many beautiful ways and His teachings. As many years gone by, I fell back into the world doing the same things as you mentioned and became numb to the sins as time passed and every time when I was trying to pull myself back to the Lord, it was getting hard and harder and all guiIts in my heart was overpowering me. I also remember one night when I was in my room, the light went off suddenly and when I turned around to go turn the light on, I saw the same figure as you mentioned standing right in front of my face which was very tall figure blacker than the darkest black anything I have ever seen in this world and with so much hate in the eyes. I remember all the goosebumps that stood up on my skin but when I reached out my hand to see if it was real and trying grab it but my hand went right through it and then it faded away and then I was reminded "Love overcomes all evil" I once had fear of these evil ones but through the love of our Jesus Christ, by His name, and by his blood I am able to push the demons out and rebuke them. I believe Lord has reason for me to hear your testimony and I thank the Lord for reminding me again when he said, "I will never forsake you my son". Once again, thank you so much for sharing what Lord has done in your life and how He has brought you back, it is really an encouragement to me. Thank you again and praise Lord the God almighty. (Please excuse my grammar)
I've fully surrendered recently.
Still a war going on and still failing but my faith and love for Jesus is much stronger & deeper, it was never shallow.
Just one bad decision in my teens after my grandpa passed away caused a cycle that went on for 10 years.
Glad I never drank, smoked, did drugs or dated (it would have been much worse)
I've battled with anxiety, depression, fatigue for a decade too.
Even get tormented while praying & praising God.
Horrible things come into my head.
I know it's not my thoughts, fully disagree with them.
Devil is clearly not happy that I've fully surrendered to Jesus Christ.
Funny thing is that I gave my life to Christ after grandpa died, had delayed shock, wasn't myself and the devil used that to ensnare me.
Glad I'm in the process of being freed.
Might have delayed God's plans for my life but I know He'll use what I've been through to help others.
God Bless.
Hallelujah, I'm so happy for you brother in Christ, thank for sharing this, I loved it.
@@MatthewMorris1997 God's timing is always on time, thank you for sharing your with us. God has not forsaken you brother in Christ.
I'm just 15, and I know I'm young and I have a lot more to learn. I've been Christian all my life but I'm afraid I've never really known my Father, and that breaks me, because I want to love him much more than my own life, I want to really know him, I've prayed about it but...I just don't feel a strong connection with Him, I know He hears me but my heart craves to really feel His love, not just know that He loves me but feel that He loves me..
Just know that He sees you. He's not going to forget about you. Put aside your religious doctrines, the age old Church on a Sunday, instead start reading your Bible with the aim to learn who God is for you, not what others tell you. Genuinely seek him with your heart and He will reveal Himself in the perfect time
God is never far from anyone, you may not feel the presence of god, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t nearby. God loves each and everyone of us very deeply, and I promise if you are praying for closeness and repenting for your sins, he will deliver. It may not be on the time you want, but he always delivers. Also the Bible says fasting is a great way to get closer to god. The only reason god is ever far from us is if we make him far, or if he’s preparing us for something greater. So if I’m your heart your truly desire him, and you show him great faith, then he will make himself known to you.
I have felt the same way. I wanted to feel closer to God. The only thing I felt I had to find this is to read the Bible. We won't really know God if we don't search His word to find out about what he wants from us. we will feel closer to him.
Read John 14
14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus the Way to the Father
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever- 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. 30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
“Come now; let us leave.
I ran away from church life at 14 years old. The next time I stepped in the te doors of that church, I was burying my son. What a humbling experience. The same people I ran away from greeted me with open arms. My grief was a call. I needed God so bad 🙏🏽💕🙌🏽
I’m sorry for your loss, I will pray that you have peace beyond understanding. I know a lot of things don’t make sense but God is going to bring you to the promise land. Love you, keep your head up and pray everyday❤️
God is our strength, the solid rock, the ⚓, God Bless, Happy Holiday's ❤️
yourmessage really spoke to me !!!as im goign through sadness. while i cannot even imagine what you goign through. may the Lord restore you and all who grieve any loss. He is the ressurection. Those in Christ never die. pleas eknow that those in Christ are mereley asleep with our loving Lord an Savoir lovingly watching them and when He returns he will wake them up. Praise to HIm forever!
Thank you all
We all really do💜 Im sorry for your loss and I’m glad that you came back to him (even amidst the pain which I cannot imagine) as I myself also did not too long ago💜💜
One of the truly sad things is that people (myself included when I did) run away from God and from Jesus, because of misconceptions, because of religion, and in short, because of all these deceptions that aren’t God, because He is so loving, he’s not condemning, Jesus is pretty much the definition of Love. God is always waiting for us with open arms, no matter how many times we metaphorically stumble, and that is one of the things that’s so beautiful 💜
Much love and blessings to any and all who come across this 💜
I’m crying right now, I have been praying for my 24 yr old son who like you grew up in the church and went to Christian school etc… in college he started to drift. I can only imagine the prayers for you behind the scenes from your parents and brothers and sisters in Christ. Honest to God every video on sermons I am putting out a plea for people to pray for Dru. When Dru was seven or eight yrs old he woke up in the night and said “ Mom, I think Gid is calling me to preach” he says he does not remember that, but I do. Watching him walk away from the Lord has been so painful there are no words to describe. Please pray for Dru to come back to God.
Prayers are up!!!
My son Tyler has also walked away. Praying for your son also.
Amen 🙏 He will come back in God’s time. Prayers are up. God bless you mom keep praying 🙏
Thank u for sharing. My oldest son claims to be an Atheist but I really don’t think he is. I pray daily for him to return to God. He is angry at God because of things that happened his childhood. I remember when he asked me a few years ago, if God is this so called loving God, why did he let me suffer. I do believe one day he will return.
Praying for all our lost sons and daughters! I've been praying for my son Jason and daughter Ashleigh for years! Believe me, I've made so many mistakes! So grateful I've acknowledged them to my children!
My son Jason shouldn't have survived an accident during my pregnancy! But GOD! But oh how it's my heart's desire that they come to see and taste the goodness of the LORD for themselves!
It’s amazing how this brother is not afraid to be emotional. The Holy Spirit is so heavy on him. I love it
I love it!!!
Because he understands being a man has nothing to do with what the world teaches you.
Amen
You can’t control your feelings if it’s holly sprit touching you
I believe that when God calls you to ministry He will let you go through these times just to help you to have an honest understanding of those you will be ministering to And that craving you have for your relationship w Him. People who are broken need to know that Christian’s aren’t perfect and that God wants to use them too. Your testimony is powerful because of your experience. I’m so glad I found this
God says he will never leave us nor forsake us. No matter how many times we sin, or how many times we fall short. He waits for us with open arms to welcome us back, each and every time. Man, God is so faithful! Thank you God for your forgiveness, grace and mercy. We are recklessly loved. 🥺😪💕
right
I have heard Jesus say that audibly & if He didn’t I might not believe it
He’s so good, despite me ❤
Amen!!!!🙏
That's a hard thing to walk out as an attic...every day asking for forgiveness for the same thing u did today and know ull do tommorow
@@tylerboyer3904 By His love was the stars placed, earth shaped, waters told where to meet the shore..the sun when to rise & set, as well as the moon
By His love you were formed in your mothers womb brother Tyler, before the foundation of the world. He knows the number of hairs on your head. He adores you more than you could ever comprehend
He died for every action we make that fall short of the standard in His Word bc He loves us
Tell Him sorry, and ask Him for help. When you ask, know that He will bc He loves you brother
Raise your hands to the heavens and tell Him how great He is for all His works, all His creation & all that we haven’t seen or begun to imagine.. praise Him brother & let His love consume you.
Let that love of His Holy Spirit be your foundation ❤️
I cried along with your testimony. As someone who at 7 gave his life to Jesus I can relate. I love how you called it a Sweet Communion with Jesus. That is exactly what I had as a kid and teen. Then a 10 year military career led me away from Him for a decade. I have since come back to Him and raised my kids to know Him. One of my boys graduates in 3 months to be pastor. God bless you RJ
@Greg Halter God Bless You Man Of God
His testimony is too familiar and I was looking for his name and you mentioned RJ. RJ is my initials. I’m currently going through this testimony. All the way up to the dreams while trying to come back
@@peebrayen6564r u edifying ?
AMEN
Amen
I totally relate to this. God is so awesome, He never stops loving us He will never forsake us. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior at a very early age somewhere around 6 years old. Somewhere along the many years I walked less in the spirit and more in the flesh. This happened to me more than once. I think I lived the prodigal son story at least 7 times and every time God welcomed me back, I’m 61 years old now and this last time, I was battling spiritual oppression, I finally cried out to the Lord and surrendered all to the Lord Jesus and received the Holy Spirit in His fullness. I’ve grieved the Holy Spirit so many times in the past that I quenched Him out. That was a frightening awakening. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Living and walking in the Holy Spirit is such a peaceful way to live. I love your testimony and relate to it so well.
I was raised by my father. He was a sinner to the core till I was born. He went into the service to get things back on track. He left the service and took me from my mother to raise me [my mother wasn't right at this time]. My father and I grew to know Christ together. In my youth I fell and fell hard. I made most sinners look like saints...people starting dying all around me...then I left Christ all together...but I always had my father who never locked a door on me. He died when my twins turned 2. I am a complete mess. Every day I would say tomorrow will be the day I change...I'm still lost...I'm so deep in the woods and have no mountain to run to anymore....I can't even pray anymore. Looking at how far I've gone away from Christ. I try to hear these testimonials...hoping some fireworks will lead me in the right direction....I truly hope anyone who doesn't fully understand the strength of satin..he's waiting for us to fall and never get up...please don't give up...the weight and loneliness is uncomprehensible...words can't convey how much I would sacrifice to be in this man's shoes...of all the things I miss-I miss the Lord more than anything...I hope you all stay strong, there is no lonlier feeling than not finding God when you used to be best friends...sorry for being so longwinded....
Pray!!! And don’t stop praying! What you said here, you need to say to God. Just before the eclipse on the 8th, I prayed to Jesus and I was sobbing bc I felt like his spirit was leaving me and I had this dreadful feeling I would be left behind. Just the next week, the day before the eclipse, his spirits descended on me and it was so powerful. He said he wasn’t going to forsake me! And he won’t forsake you! Please pray that he will save you and bring you closer to him and do it everyday and don’t stop even if it feels like it isn’t working! You have to want him with everything in your heart! God bless you. I truly hope you win this battle. Sending you love and prayer! 🤲🏼 ✝️
Just remember you may feel a million steps away from God but it only takes 1 step to get back to him. All it takes is surrender because you can't do anything on your own, it's all Jesus in his mercy that will pick you up and carry you through. We weren't meant to do this life, especially the Christian walk alone. Find a spirit filled church community that can help you in your journey of healing, God created us for community and he wants us to be interdependent, not independent of each other. Be honest, be vulnerable, ask for help from people who truly love God and serve him. Praying you let Jesus lead you into a peace and joy you've never known before. May the depth of his love cascade over every part of your being and may you truly know and feel his heart for you. "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
Man, when he asked you the third time it really hit me 💔 it’s like it was echoing when Jesus asked Peter “do you love me”
❤️❤️
That's where is was with that as well.
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
ua-cam.com/video/71jdb0mmVmk/v-deo.html
Similar like God calls Samuel 3x times ( Old Testament )
I cried so hard watching this. I have been tormented by a sexual demon since I was 11 or so. I repented and cried out to God watching this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
I did too Jesus set me free from that demon
Yup I hear you same here
Anyone else reading this. Jesus can and will set you free of sexual sin and also addiction of all types. You must call out to him in a sincere heart, ask him to set you free of the chains of sin and to give you power to stay free. As it is written , draw near to me and I will draw near to you. Seek me with all of your heart and you will surely find me. Continue to knock on God's door daily. Continue to ask him for strength to overcome all sin. And remember. A righteous man falls 7 times but he gets back up. This is your sign to Get Back Up brothers and sisters. If you want to stay up you must seek God daily. Feed your spirit with his word daily, if you stopped eating food you wouldn't wonder why it's hard to stand strong and tall. The same thing is true with your spirit, God's word is what feeds your spirit. If you can't stand up strongly and boldy it is because you Are Not feeding your spirit. The blood of Jesus triumphs over all sin, allow it to.
There called spiritual spouses , you can watch john Ramirez
I’m asking for prayer please I’ve been fighting spiritual warfare! I want a deeper relationship with God I want to walk in faith God will restore my life I’m going through a lot always depressed I know i have a calling but I just don’t know how I can have a deeper relationship with God ! I ran from God I feel so lost !! Going through spiritual warfare im asking for Prayer Please .
That saying ''The reason i wake up in the morning'' is the phrase i hear so many young kids say, they get up maybe only because there is a musician they really love on the internet, some great friend they look up to, and so many other things which if they didn't have they'd lose their motivation to live. If only God could become the real reason we get out of bed in the morning, because only with Him can we do it joyfully even if we're in pain. He gave us those musicians, those people that make us smile, and even if everyone else leaves, He will always be there
Satan constantly attacks me with dreams of my past sins! I was like you. I was raised in a Christian family and accepted Jesus when I was 7 . I loved Him so much. But when I became a teenager I backslid and was promiscuous , untill I married and had my sons and wanted to raise them to know the Lord. I did that and then several years later backslid again and had so much guilt. I loved the Lord all along and then years later when I was so heart broken I prayed God would take my pain He 27:30 showed me the lights from Heaven and immediately He touched me and took my heartache away and I have never been the same and I will never go back into the world again. Since then satan really hates me and attacks me in my mind! And condemns me. I can’t forgive myself for the things I had done even though I know Jesus does. Please pray for my peace about my backsliden years. Thank you and thank you for your testimony. I need to hear that. 27:30
Ex Muslim here after saw Jesus Lord Amen 🙏
All glory to God in Jesus name hallelujah 🙌

God bless you every day
YES, JESUS!!! I’m thankful for the power He is unleashing on the earth!!!!!
Hallelujah 🙌🏼
Such an amazing testimony! I have been best friends with Roy since 2011 and I can tell you right now this man loves the LORD like no other!
Yes indeed
I LOVE this testimony. His love for Jesus knows no bounds. Praise Jesus!!!! 👏
Wow how wonderful is the Works of God 💯💯🔥
I was crying within the first 3 minutes😂❤😊 God bless you all.
Thank you , Isaiah , for your ministry as well. I was at the CORE group retreat when you preached and deeply regret not waiting around and asking for deliverance prayer- instead I left early feeling totally defeated. I pray for a second chance to Find someone as on fire for God as you are who can minister to me and help me through Delievrance and into my calling as I should have died at 19 on Good Friday but God had other plans and woke me from my coma Easter Sunday so I know I’m meant for something! Just gotta find it.
I wrote a VERY VERY long comment but I wanted to thank you for this video and sharing your story. I'm going to watch this again. I needed this more than you know. I know people say that all the time but I'm in such a dark and lonely place. I did realize that I obviously have some fight or glimmer of hope left in me if I'm searching for guidance from God thru UA-cam. God will always meet us where we are at. Praise the Lord God, our Father in Heaven for his unconditional love even when I cant love myself. The blood of Jesus covers me like a shield and I know the Holy Spirit stands all around me like the mightiest of all weapons.
The Holy spirit is moving through this message. Touching hearts cutting through the stony hearts and turning them to hearts of flesh. Inclining many to hear and recognize the voice of God. He's asking the same question now "son how are you doing?"
I dont understand how you can think that God actually spoke to him or anyone
Just look at him.
He's totally restored for life.
God's sweet little boy has returned to the waiting arms of God.
I'm such a cry baby. Everytime someone tells their testimony of Jesus Christ and how his love surrounded them in that momemnt of forgiving them as a sinner, I remember the exact same experience I had when I got born again. It makes me cry everytime. It's the same across the board for so many of us.

I just reconnected to God again. I was a backslider for like 4-5 years. I ended my almost 3-year relationship with a non-believer last Sunday and on that day I returned to God. On the same day, Sunday late afternoon, a woman tried to share with me about mother god and that Jesus had a wife. I had a little bit of knowledge of Theology and Apologetics and it had been something I like and so on that day, God used me right away to plant a seed on that woman and reminded me of what I used liked to study. Maybe something he called me to do. I was surprised that he still used me despite my disobedience and rebellion. 😢❤

I was stuck in a cycle for 10 years, only starting to come out of it now.
Always loved Jesus and professed my faith throughout.
Glad I never drank, smoke, did drugs, dated or any social life.
Battled with anxiety, depression, fatigue for over a decade too.
I get tormented regularly, even during prayer (sometimes it's the worst)
I think the devil is angry I've surrendered my life to Christ.
Still battling but definitely getting much closer to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, just need to have the strength to resist and overcome.
I'd say the majority of guys go through this one way or the other.
I'm praying for revival and a culture clean up (it's getting so sick now)
I'm glad God is in control of everything.
Just need to give Him full control in a few areas of my life and He'll transform me.
The process has been happening for a while I just wish it would speed up.
Sometimes I just wish I was with Jesus and not in this body.
I really hope I can walk in the Spirit soon.
God bless.
@@MatthewMorris1997 I know exactly how that feels. I wish I was with Jesus because living in the flesh has many struggles.
@@MatthewMorris1997 WE have to look towards God for the strength to move forward, he is our only and complete strength, if we don't say let Jesus take over in absolute faith, we can never get over our sinful nature.
When I see people cry like this it brings me back to when I surrendered myself to the lord. So powerful and overwhelming.
Two things about RJ’s story stood out to me.
1. Why the special moments he had were in the washroom? We cleanse ourselves every time we leave there.
2. The irony of turning from God and running towards flames - in the form of becoming a firefighter is absolutely wild.
God bless you all.
I backslid from around age 13 to 28. I cried out to him with a prayer in my closet and he hugged me, loved me, gave me real joy and peace. You’re testimony is beautiful. All praise to our God who loves us unconditionally ❤.
13 to 28 thats a long time dude lol. Glad tour doing better💖
@@shydalelewis3966 pls no condemnation , the good news is that she is back like the prodigal son its a time for rejoicing! 🥰🙏🏽🙌 God loves her and we love you Ashley
@@Romans_10.9 much love to you and Ashley. I wasn't condemning her I was just stating that was a long time. I thought to myself when I was 13 and what it would be like to be 28 im only 20 so I still got some years haha I'm definitely glad she's back.
It was a long time. Too long and a lot of it was my own doing. God waited patiently for me and still blessed me when I didn’t know that he was. His timing is everything ♥️. May God bless both of you and protect you!
@@FairMaiden20 I did the same thing as you ash. God's timing is definitely amazing. I grew up in church but they never told me about any of this. Honestly if it wasn't for the internet I wouldnt be in this position I really don't think the internet is bad unless you know what to stay away from on here. God has used this platform to reach so many people to him and im greatful I know all of this and more about this world I hope he's done the same to you much love💖 I hope to see you rising its gonna he a crazy time soon.
I also backslid, as many do, for years but God never left me. And recently, He brought me back to the straight road that I want to be on for the rest of my life. I praise God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit for allowing me back into the fold and have no plans on ever leaving again. My eyes are heart have been opened and I want to do whatever His will is for my life is. So, if you are a backslider do not dispare, God is there and always will be, just come back to the fold, it is that easy, He wants you to come back.

Thank you!
I am so blessed to hear this testimony. I myself had backslid and God accepted me with open arms and he never reprimanded me. He said I love you and I will not change my mind about you. He will restore you as he did me and he will make you even better than before. The first thing he said to me, I will give you a new heart and I will take that stony stubborn heart of yours and give you a tender responsive heart and I will ;put My Spirit in you.

I’ve been waking up from my slumber a long time n now I’m serving God thru singing, praise n worship. To God be the glory.
This really hit me. But also sinned so much and went downhill during 2nd year high school to the present time with drugs, alcohol, girls etc... But just last week, i felt so down, missing the feeling of loving and having Jesus in my life, i broke down in tears. I since then have lessened my sins a whole lot each day and i'm starting to read my Bible again. Praying for more strength and consistency in following Christ.
I hope you are staying strong
Powerful testimony, thank you for sharing. Backsliding feels like death when you come back. Because of the guilt we feel. Ashamed and embarrassed. It was so hard to forgive myself. 😪 I been there. The devil kept putting guilt over me. But he is a liar. He was tormenting my thoughts and I was having strange dreams. It was so hard. But it got better after I got baptized in water and holyghost filled with that fire 🔥 of God. Hallelujah! I'm born again. Bless you for sharing. ❤️😍💯🤗👌🏾👏🏾
you got baptised again?
Praise the Lord!! Thanks for sharing your amazing testimony, God bless!
I’m sending this video to my 28 yo son who has strayed from God. As a baby I thanked God for him and recall saying in my spirit he’s yours Lord. I would pray through his teenage years “Lord mark my son so the enemy knows he belongs to you.”
I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit on my drive back after dropping my 12 yo son off at summer school. It was the most beautiful experience and whatever has transpired since that day has only solidified my faith in God. The enemy is real and he’ll try to separate us from God and try to attack those he knows are called to serve him with a specific purpose.
I ask that anyone who reads this pray for my son Michael who needs to be delivered. Pray that he’ll have a personal encounter with the living God.
Time is short and is of the essence. We need to be hot for God and his purpose in our lives.
Amen.. moms prayers are heard especially ❤ Michael is God’s son just like you are.
Thank you for shareing your testimony. I know He's calling me back and Im currently on the path away from the world, I have a lot to repent of. Though the world has a very loud voice I know Jesus is standing here beside me, I believe He's even reading this as Im typing it. (If you are reading this, please pray that I dont ever again look back)
Keep going on the right path through christ. He loves you and so do I. I’ll keep you in my prayers
What an awesome testimony! You are such an inspiration brother! Praise be to the Most High God! Love the fact that you repeated "wake up" so many times. I've never been so awake than I am now. Never have I seen things through the lens of Christ like I am now. Everywhere I look, I'm burdened in my heart for the "walking dead" going about their lives. I was visited in my dreams on February 13th in regards to the Rapture. The message the Lord gave me, was to urgently pray for my family, friends, the lost, and the "sleeping believers", as well as the lukewarm church. Please pray for me by name if the Lord puts it on your heart. God bless.📖✝️🙏🙌
This is so touching . I use to be a heavy drug addict strung out on opioids and was so shy to speak out in front of people . Rededicated my life to Christ and now I love spreading the gospel telling people the truth of our lord and savior . It’s so amazing how God will let us wonder off only to come back 100x stronger . Thank you God your such a holy and righteous God but also a God of wrath
Praiae God for his mercy and forgiveness! I am so happy for you!
*"God disciplines those he loves"* AWESOME!
Sounds like your ego

I backslid too brother, but after losing my daughter to kidney disease I fell into a dark place, I was angry with God wanting to know why, because I begged to take my daughters place, and prayed and asked why and thought that I all I wanted was to give up and go and lay down at her grave until I could be with her again, but our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ being so patient and loving never left me but waited patiently and lovingly to remind me that His son was precious to Him too, then I felt stronger than I have ever felt Him, and I could feel how much He loves us and was missing me as much as I was missing Him. Amen
I love this guy. I understand his tears. I also go through it daily. Satan pulls at those threads until we unravel, he has our entire lifespan to beat us. Putting on the whole armor of God is a must. Talk daily with your heavenly Father, read your Bible daily, do not put off attending church, that is the full armor of God.
_Almighty GOD, I come before YOU today to lay down my struggles on YOUR feet. Things seem to be getting worse for me by the day and there's nothing I can do. So I come to YOU in prayer to surrender all my struggles to YOU. Please come and take control of everything in my life and give me rest. Im struggling really bad, LORD, and things seem impossible for me right now. But I also believe that YOU are the Almighty GOD, and there's nothing YOU can't do. So I know that no matter what life throws at me, YOU can deliver me. Give me patience as I wait on YOU for my restoration. Thank you for YOUR grace and glory in my life. Amen._
For 50 years in the church, I never had a true Relationship with God. Jesus warned us that the church would do more damage than good. Satan comes as a wolf in sheep's clothing by twisting scripture and telling us that we were all saved even though we continue to sin. We were all Religious hypocrites in the church and trying to volunteer for a many things as possible, but we were all confessing through our testimonies that we still had willful sin in our lives, so obviously none of us has Ever truly repented. Repentance actually means Turning From sin/that old way of life, and Never go back to it again...like a dog to it's own vomit. I personally would have heard God say: "I never knew you!" My name would not have been "blotted out of the Book of Life", because my sin proved that I had still never been saved in the first place, but just like a religious Pharisee that couldn't thrown a single stone. In the parable of the sower 3 out of the 4 and Never produced good fruit. All 40 Parables compare a true believer to a false believer. It didn't matter one ounce that I: said the sinner's prayer, got baptized, was mentored, went to church 3 times a week, sang in the choir, prayed, fasted, cared for the widows, the homeless and those in prison, tithed, did mission trips overseas, visited Israel, street evangelized, discipled young believers, etc. No matter how much I DID, I would always feel distant from God at the end of the day that I couldn't shake. Well it should have been Obvious that I was a lukewarm, because I was still tell white lies, I hated my neighbor, I'd steals from my employer by only working 7 hours instead of 8, I won't forgive my enemies, I had lustful thoughts, etc... so I never would never have entered the kingdom of Heaven.
Then on Aug 10, 2017 at age 50, I finally surrendered my Entire Life to God for the 1st time, and then and only then was Jesus willing to Completely heal My Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit in just 1 Day!! Now I finally know what it is to be "Born Again", because everyday I am able to Love God with ALL my Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength, & my enemies more than myself. During my many years in the church, I had never once read Through my Bible. I would do a ton of Bible studies and pull a bunch of verses...out of context..which is an intended way for the church to keep the lukewarm Dumb Down. The BIBLE is God's Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, yet most of the people in the church have never read it. Now I've read my Bible from cover to cover every single month for the last 64 months and counting... I absolutely love spending time with God more than anyone else. All worldly people, distractions and entertainment had to be gouged out and cut off, so I got rid of my TV and computer, etc.
Now Jesus is always in 1ST Place, Matt 6:24. I put nothing and no one before Him; I was willing to loose family, friends, fellowship, finances, flesh, food, feelings; that were both subtle and blatant distractions.
Why Jesus said "Go and sin no more". That never used to make any sense, and No Pastor could explain it, but would say it's impossible=Liars! Now I know that it is totally possible, and praise God it's not longer even a challenge! Jesus said to take EVERY thought Captive and MAKE it Obedient to Christ. So every time that Satan shoots a dart, it only takes 5 seconds to ask myself: Will this honor God or my flesh? Once I understood that there are NO gray areas, the choice was Not always easy, but it was always Obvious!
It's so amazed that for over 5 years in my walk as a Wise Virgin, I have never experienced ANY: anger, bitterness, condemnation, depression, drugs, envy, fear, fornication, guilt, hopelessness, insecurity, jealousy, loneliness, materialism, pornography, rejection, shame, suicidal thoughts, unforgiveness, vanity, worry, etc. etc. etc. Everyday I am able to experience all 9 fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. I no longer have sinful thoughts hour to hour, or minute to minute like the Foolish Virgins do. A Wise Virgins must always stay on the NARROW Road; so I picture myself walking on a tightrope that crosses over the Grand Canyon. If I take my eyes off of Jesus even for a second by the distractions of this world, it will take me to my death. People are the biggest distractions, so if we love father, mother, spouse, children more than Christ we are not worthy to be his disciple.
God tells us to only think on Whatever (Whomever) is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, and all things that are excellent and praiseworthy. The way I make this happen is I Listen to my audio Bible everyday for about 10-12 hours; at home, in the car, working, grocery shopping, cleaning, exercising, etc...
I have to be this persistent, because I remember who I used to be. I had a severe victim mentality. My mother had murdered my 5 month old twin sisters and then said she wanted to kill me, so I ran away from home. That same day I was kidnapped for sex trafficking, so from the age of 6 I had always struggled with having 4 multiple personality disorders. I never experienced any freedom from Doctors, Medications, Counselors, 12-Step programs, Accountability partners, Therapy, and if course the church actually did far more damage than good. They Twisted the scriptures and said If you simply say this sinner's prayer, you are guaranteed Heaven. I never had any peace or assurance even though I would say that prayer Every week...it was just empty words, because I still willfully sinned and I had never surrender my entire life over to God. Trying to depend on 10-15 feel-good verses every Sunday has never redeemed anyone from sin.
I learned that it only takes "1 Day" to LISTEN to The N.T. Bible! 1ST JOHN 3:9-10 completely scared the Hell Right Out of me. 9. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them, they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10. This is how we KNOW who the children of God are and who the children of the Devil are!!
Suddenly realized that the church lied when they taught osas. I saw that all of my religious works were all filthy rags and if I had been successful in my suicide attempt I would have gone straight to Hell. It gave me an amazing Fear, Reverence, and Awe for The Lord :0) Being Obedient to God is not "works", it's love. It's possible to stop sinning, because I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. The Bridegroom is looking to marry the Bride that lives soley for Him by obeying and loving Him. Why would a Groom ever marry a Foolish Bride that cheated on Him during the entire engagement? Jesus knows those who truly LOVE him with all their heart, mind, soul and strength, and those who only love him some of the time. If we do not want to live For Jesus now, why would God let us live With Jesus forever? Being obedient to our sinful flesh leads to death. The same people who tell me that they've never read through their Bible in All the years that they've been "saved", also tell me that they can't even take 1 Day to Listen to the NT Bible. Their priorities are clearly worldly. Now I ask people if they can just spend just 15 MINUTES and read through then book of 1st John which is extremely eye opening!
John 3:19-20 Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates (Jesus) The Light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
2 Cor 4:3-4 Our Gospel is veiled to those who are perishing, because God has blinded the minds of unbelievers.
Sadly, most people would rather believe their Pastor than to believe believe God. They are always telling people that the doubts you are having is just Satan trying to discourage you, but really it's the Holy Spirit pleading with you.
I pray that because you still have breath, you can repent from sin and ask that God would let The Truth set you free from all sin, so that you Know you'll be with Him forever!
I put together a list of 182 other N.T. verses that also warn us like 1st John 3:9-10 does, between a Sheep and a Goat. All of these lukewarm churches that Jesus warned us about in these last day are Everywhere now. Paul worned the church that as soon as he leaves that Wolves would come in.
The greatest deception has 90% truth and only 10% of a lie that tickles your ears.. a little yeast ruins the whole batch of dough. Satan's very first Lie is still working to this day: You surely won't die if you just take just a little bite!
We all need to Examine ourself to see IF we are truly in The Faith; because God will Judge every Thought, Word, Motives & Actions.

Last year I found a YT channel called: BIBLE STUDY 101, and he makes everything 100% perfectly clear, so I pray we all have ears to hear the Truth. What sin is worth your eternal soul?
God loves to take our problems over when we have NO PLACE ELSE TO GO, BUT GOD.
Almighty God, I come before you today to lay down my struggles on your feet, Things seem to be getting worse for me by the day and there's nothing I can do, so I come to you in prayer to surrender all my struggles to you, please come take control of everything in my and give me rest, I'm struggling really bad, Lord, And things seem impossible for me right now, but I also believe that you are are the almighty God and there's nothing can't do, So I know that no matter what life throws at me, You can deliver me, Give me patience as I wait on you for my restoration, Thank you for your grace and glory in my life, in Jesus name I pray,Amen

This is the best testimony I’ve heard this decade. The word luke warm is talking about the churches in revelation! That they will be dealt with. Instead of using the word luke warm it’s really unfaithful. Because once you’re saved God has a relationship with you and knows who you really are regardless of that outcome and he won’t forget it.
This touched my heart so much. I have been backsliding for the last 2 years and I feel so much sadness and grief over my decisions. I would beg Jesus to free me from bondage and give me direction and I still feel so lost and forgotten about. I was on fire for Jesus and I feel so wicked now. Thank you so much for your testimony 😢❤ incredible. Jesus is faithful period. I know the truth so what is wrong with me!
I just want to declare to you that nothing is wrong with you. God sees your heart, he knows your pain. He brought you here, and has a plan for you and your life. Take as much time as you can to just wait on him. I see you sitting waiting on his presence. Regularly finding a new rhythm of waiting on him. Stand up in an empty room and distract yourself from any distractions with an inward gaze on him
Wow, how can you not cry listening to this? I can feel your heart in this message. We love Him because He first loved us.

Now I finally know what it is to be "Born Again", because everyday I am able to Love God with ALL my Heart, Mind, Soul & Strength, & my enemies more than myself. During my many years in the church, I had never once read Through my Bible. I would do a ton of Bible studies and pull a bunch of verses...out of context..which is an intended way for the church to keep the lukewarm Dumb Down. The BIBLE is God's Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, yet most of the people in the church have never read it. Now I've read my Bible from cover to cover every single month for the last 64 months and counting... I absolutely love spending time with God more than anyone else. All worldly people, distractions and entertainment had to be gouged out and cut off, so I got rid of my TV and computer, etc.
Now Jesus is always in 1ST Place, Matt 6:24. I put nothing and no one before Him; I was willing to loose family, friends, fellowship, finances, flesh, food, feelings; that were both subtle and blatant distractions.
Why Jesus said "Go and sin no more". That never used to make any sense, and No Pastor could explain it, but would say it's impossible=Liars! Now I know that it is totally possible, and praise God it's not longer even a challenge! Jesus said to take EVERY thought Captive and MAKE it Obedient to Christ. So every time that Satan shoots a dart, it only takes 5 seconds to ask myself: Will this honor God or my flesh? Once I understood that there are NO gray areas, the choice was Not always easy, but it was always Obvious!
It's so amazed that for over 5 years in my walk as a Wise Virgin, I have never experienced ANY: anger, bitterness, condemnation, depression, drugs, envy, fear, fornication, guilt, hopelessness, insecurity, jealousy, loneliness, materialism, pornography, rejection, shame, suicidal thoughts, unforgiveness, vanity, worry, etc. etc. etc. Everyday I am able to experience all 9 fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. I no longer have sinful thoughts hour to hour, or minute to minute like the Foolish Virgins do. A Wise Virgins must always stay on the NARROW Road; so I picture myself walking on a tightrope that crosses over the Grand Canyon. If I take my eyes off of Jesus even for a second by the distractions of this world, it will take me to my death. People are the biggest distractions, so if we love father, mother, spouse, children more than Christ we are not worthy to be his disciple.
God tells us to only think on Whatever (Whomever) is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, and all things that are excellent and praiseworthy. The way I make this happen is I Listen to my audio Bible everyday for about 10-12 hours; at home, in the car, working, grocery shopping, cleaning, exercising, etc...
I have to be this persistent, because I remember who I used to be. I had a severe victim mentality. My mother had murdered my 5 month old twin sisters and then said she wanted to kill me, so I ran away from home. That same day I was kidnapped for sex trafficking, so from the age of 6 I had always struggled with having 4 multiple personality disorders. I never experienced any freedom from Doctors, Medications, Counselors, 12-Step programs, Accountability partners, Therapy, and if course the church actually did far more damage than good. They Twisted the scriptures and said If you simply say this sinner's prayer, you are guaranteed Heaven. I never had any peace or assurance even though I would say that prayer Every week...it was just empty words, because I still willfully sinned and I had never surrender my entire life over to God. Trying to depend on 10-15 feel-good verses every Sunday has never redeemed anyone from sin.
I learned that it only takes "1 Day" to LISTEN to The N.T. Bible! 1ST JOHN 3:9-10 completely scared the Hell Right Out of me. 9. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them, they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10. This is how we KNOW who the children of God are and who the children of the Devil are!!
Suddenly realized that the church lied when they taught osas. I saw that all of my religious works were all filthy rags and if I had been successful in my suicide attempt I would have gone straight to Hell. It gave me an amazing Fear, Reverence, and Awe for The Lord :0) Being Obedient to God is not "works", it's love. It's possible to stop sinning, because I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. The Bridegroom is looking to marry the Bride that lives soley for Him by obeying and loving Him. Why would a Groom ever marry a Foolish Bride that cheated on Him during the entire engagement? Jesus knows those who truly LOVE him with all their heart, mind, soul and strength, and those who only love him some of the time. If we do not want to live For Jesus now, why would God let us live With Jesus forever? Being obedient to our sinful flesh leads to death. The same people who tell me that they've never read through their Bible in All the years that they've been "saved", also tell me that they can't even take 1 Day to Listen to the NT Bible. Their priorities are clearly worldly. Now I ask people if they can just spend just 15 MINUTES and read through then book of 1st John which is extremely eye opening!
John 3:19-20 Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates (Jesus) The Light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
2 Cor 4:3-4 Our Gospel is veiled to those who are perishing, because God has blinded the minds of unbelievers.
Sadly, most people would rather believe their Pastor than to believe believe God. They are always telling people that the doubts you are having is just Satan trying to discourage you, but really it's the Holy Spirit pleading with you.
I pray that because you still have breath, you can repent from sin and ask that God would let The Truth set you free from all sin, so that you Know you'll be with Him forever!
I put together a list of 182 other N.T. verses that also warn us like 1st John 3:9-10 does, between a Sheep and a Goat. All of these lukewarm churches that Jesus warned us about in these last day are Everywhere now. Paul worned the church that as soon as he leaves that Wolves would come in.
The greatest deception has 90% truth and only 10% of a lie that tickles your ears.. a little yeast ruins the whole batch of dough. Satan's very first Lie is still working to this day: You surely won't die if you just take just a little bite!
We all need to Examine ourself to see IF we are truly in The Faith; because God will Judge every Thought, Word, Motives & Actions.

Last year I found a YT channel called: BIBLE STUDY 101, and he makes everything 100% perfectly clear, so I pray we all have ears to hear the Truth. What sin is worth your eternal soul?
If this is still something you deal with, I would definitely look online for Christian groups/ or church groups that you can be a part of in person or virtual that deal with porn or sex addictions, They can walk you through your journey to freedom. Christ is with you and wants you to be whole and restored!!! You are his beloved Thomas!!! Blessings.
I have done and said terrible things after drinking alcohol. That feeling of separation from God, the feeling of being away from God, the sorrow of hurting people is unbearable. I pray God will forgive me, I beg for forgiveness from those I've hurt. I will never drink alcohol again.
I went through the same thing. But I still turned to alcohol knowing what it did to me. But one day I decided enough was enough. That took me 2 years. U can do it. Never give up. God is your rock. He loves u more than anything!! 😇
M.C. I will agree with you and pray for us both, I have been backsliding, I have not been a effective Christian,
Lord forgive us, bring us on a path to you, show us the Way, in Jesus name I pray Amen
Amen
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. YOU can do it.
I’ll be praying for you my brother! All he wants is your surrender and for you to come home to him. He isn’t mad at you at all he loves you more then you can imagine just like a parent when they’re waiting for there son to come home and to be relieved that they’re home Luke 15:21-22. You are more then your addiction, and your mistakes. He raised lazurus from the dead and for me personally he has done so many signs and wonders even when I disobeyed and disowned him but yet he stil showed me so much love and compassion. Trust me my brother just come back home throw everything that isn’t right from you away and just surrender what you have left. I’ll be praying for you. I love you and I’m proud of you and so is Jesus 💙
AWESOME I TOTALLY JUST EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PRODICAL SON/DAUGHTER..WE CAN'T HIDE FROM OUR FATHER THAT INTIMATELY CREATED ME! THE GUILT OF TURNING OUR BACKS ON GOD, BUT THE BEST THING I Cn do is follow HIS, OUR JESUS LEAD!
I couldnt sleep at all and so I woke up at 2 am and decided to go to the gym. I was doing cardio and I normally watch Netflix but I decided to watch UA-cam instead and so I saw this video. I’m currently going through the same thing except for me it’s the college life. All through out my childhood I was an alter server, sang in the church choir and even a Sunday school teacher but starting college I stopped doing all that. I would make excuses to not go to church even though I attend a catholic university . I stopped praying, and I started listening to music that i haven’t listened to before. I’m constantly having this urge to drink and just commit sin. This video has helped me see that it’s possible to go back and change. I don’t want to keep feeling empty and I really want to change my relationship with God .
These testimonies are such precious and powerful blessings. This one hit different. Resonated so much with my experience running back and forth and it’s just like he said. “Don’t run away. You can’t.” There is no place you can escape from the Lord’s presence. Might as well run to Him and never go back. He is faithful time and time again to welcome you back with open arms, but time is short. Let’s rise🕊🔥✝️❤️
Amen, Hallelujah 🥰❤️
Love u brother amen let's rise
haha

This is my story as well. In church 3 times a week, loving God! Mom was told I had a special calling on my life as a baby. At 2 years old, i was the only toddler actually in the front of the church at the alter every sunday praising God, mom told me that everyone would be in tears watching me. I just knew God at a young age and I knew that He was my Savior. Long story short once i got older, started backsliding. This young man cannot stop crying because of the Holy Spirit inside of him. I cry and cry and cry everytime I start talking about the goodness of God. He is so overwhelming, my Father is everything to me. I asked one of my sisters in Christ why I always cry, she told me that the Holy Spirit inside of me loves God so much - that is my natural reaction.

The Holy Spirit is God.
@@wendyjomendy Encounter Ministries UA-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)
Son you need back with the Lord fast.
@@wendyjomendy Yes, it’s the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and they are One.
I love the raw emotions in these moments, I met God at 11 or 12 years old and I had never been the same and I can relate so much to these moments but my parents didn’t let me go to church (we weren’t raise in it or ever went) I was witnessed to in the 6th grade at school and that changed my life when I was 18 I RAN to God and it’s amazing how he never left me even when I couldn’t go to church in my youth but he had my heart. So amazing keep sharing your testimony.
I've been so distant the last few years from the Lord. All my family but my sister died at different three of which were in the last five years and at that point I had already felt myself falling away but my dad dying just put me over the edge. I didn't know I was walking away from him so much as I realized I was enjoying sin and allowing more and more of it. Today was a bottom for me and I reached out to God and was inspired to look up specifically when you've fallen away and how to come back. You're story gave me hope that this is just beginning and what has been done for evil God intended for good. Thank you!
The Church has been some of my toughest opposition after waking up and recognizing the sleepy slumber all around me.
In the morning when I wake up I always hit the snooze button on my alarm clock ⏰ but if you hit snooze too many times there will be no more alarms and you will oversleep and miss your appointment. That appointment for the snoozing Christian is the Light of the Morning, Jesus Christ and loving arms of your Father.
I can relate to this testimony so much; it is uncanny. Praise the Lord! Awaken to righteousness. His mercies are new every morning 🌄
Ephesians 5:13-16 NKJV - But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
I was crying throughout this testimony and I didn't even know why sometimes. This testimony really touched my heart. And it's making me rethink my life in the best of ways. And I can't wait for my life with Jesus. I know He's gonna come for my family and friends and coworkers and change them all. The Lord is gonna change hearts and tests into testimonies. I can feel it. God has so much He's gonna do with me. But I just have to say yes to His calling. And be willing
Seek God everyday. Never stop. Life with Christ is beautiful. God bless
You won’t regret it!

When I was up for days on meth, I’d be too afraid to go out of my room because I’d be tripping, and I’d see those tall black figures standing around me. I didn’t know what they were then because I was an unbeliever, but after I got saved, I realized that they were unclean spirits that were watching me.
I thank God that he brought me out of that life.
I'm 30 and when I was kid three different times and years with three missionary pastors told me the same thing that God wanted me to be a pastor but throughout the years I've been so far away from the Heavenly Father. I even backslid not too long ago and missed a couple of Sunday church. I've been sober from alcohol and marijuana for 12 weeks now. I've been scared and alone with giving testimony at church and don't even know where and how to start being a preacher that I was chosen to do for God and HIS works. I've always doubted myself. In the first 3 weeks of sobriety I started reading Proverbs. And going back to church today made me realize that I have to get back on HIS path of righteousness, so I'm starting back with Proverbs. Thank you Brother for this testimonial video, its helping me allot. ❤❤️❤️💯🙏💪🛐🛐🛐🛐

Is Jesus Jehovah? Are you a witness?
@notvegangoy That's an excellent question, and one that asked by many.
Although Jesus is like God in every way in terms of his perfect love and personality, the Bible has this to say.
The Bible’s answer
Jesus’ opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. (John 5:18; 10:30-33) However, Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am.”-John 14:28.
Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. For example, the apostle Paul wrote that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position? -Philippians 2:9.
In answer to your second question - Yes I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. What faith are you if you don't mind me asking? It is so rare to have a solid faith now days of any kind In this world.
All the best Sir! 👍
I was prophesied over three times by different preachers in my life and every time they said I had a calling and it was always Isaiah 60:1, and what was awesome... In church I was laying hands on people praying for everybody else and then the pastor came to me and I wasn't expecting it. This was the third time being prophesied at different times in my life and the pastor said on the third time "I have already told you purpose I'm not going to tell you again and walked away". The presence of God was so thick in our youth church. I'm 38 now.... And I finally said Lord I'm tired of being a hypocrite, Let's do this, Praise Jesus!!!!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I didnt grow up in a christian household but was saved after going to christian school at 16. I believe that i knew God and the goodness of God but i started drifting around 20 years old (covid times) because i feel i relied too much upon my own works and a legalistic attitude towards salvation rather than the grace of God and just when i became disconnected with church i was tested. I failed miserably and a 3 year life of sinfullness proceeded where i indulged in drugs and alcohol, sexual immorality and hateful speech and idolitry. The whole time i had faith and i tried in my own power to do good but i was justifying what was wrong and it put a divide between myself and God. Then this year in June God convicted me as i read Peter of being like the dog that returns to its vomit and the fear of the Lord came upon me. I chose at that time to give myself to God and i havent looked back, nor do i intend to! The grace of God is amazing, keep praying for those who have fallen away.
Lord we pray for the weak - those who suffer - the sick, the poor, the distressed, the lonely, the unloved, the persecuted, the unemployed, those who grieve. Be also with all those who care for them. Comfort and heal us, Lord, those who are in sorrow, need, sickness or any other trouble. Amen!
Please pray for me. I lost my 21 year old son to suicide in 2020. I held strong to my faith for 2 years, assuming that my deepest hopes and prayers had been answered even though it didn’t look like it. After this time, as we head toward year 3, I started getting plagued by doubts and failure etc,.. we went into the messianic movement thinking that God had revealed more of Himself to us and it all made so much sense. In the end it ended up showing me how short we fall and started feeling like it all was just hopeless. I missed Christmas etc,.. and feeling disconnected from family etc,.. I just feel very alone & bankrupt. Unsure of anything anymore. In the past months I’ve done magic mushrooms several times (for the first time) listened to new age teachings and watched trash on TV. I need some powerful prayer because I can’t seem to get there on my own.
Praying for you Jenny
You can see in his eyes how he still yearns for Jesus. Such an unconditional love he has for him. God Bless him
'Him' for Jesus, Amen!
I think most all of us backslide. Remember no one is perfect. I relate my spiritually like a rollercoaster. Sometimes your riding high up there with God, and others your low and away. As believers it’s up to us to TRY to live as perfect as we can for Him, extending those high times with God the better we get at taming our sinful fleshly desires.
I'm not crying, you're crying. Okat, we are both crying. God's love is so powerful! I felt His love through this testimony. Praise The Father! Praise The Son!
hahaha. We’re all crying!! 😅
I did too. Amen
Amen God’s Love for us is Everlasting 🙏🏾❤️
I just wanna say that I'm so thankful for this channel!! In between listening to sermons, like if I'm not in a spiritually disciplined mindset in the moment if that makes sense, I'll listen to one of these testimonies & they ALWAYS HIT DIRECTLY IN MY HEART EVERY TIME!!! God knows exactly what we need & he meets us where we are. I'm not always open to conviction, although i know i need it & i find myself still wanting to be spiritually fed encouraged & uplifted, so the Holy Spirit will lead me to the EXACT MESSAGE that i know i needed to hear because it grips my heart with love that softens me reminding me that i literally LONG FOR JESUS!!!! The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, it's not always easy to read my bible or listen to a sermon....but then i come here & these testimonies speak my deepest hearts desire where I'm left in tears & thanking God for what he's done in my life. Please continue to upload, these are such a blessing, more than u know.

I'm realizing I have been running and I'm tired and I want Jesus in my life. The one night I went to a Christian fellowship I experienced the tall dark shadow person it looks like the reaper and he was talking to me through my mind and the one thing I remembered before I woke up and ran thru it as it was standing in front of my door, like a football player I ran thru it and the only name that came to mind was Elijah. I also had a moment while praying and when talking to a preacher he believed it was a holy spirit encounter, I was in the middle of repenting all my signs and crying hysterically and a wave of peace came thru me from my head to my toes and for the next 3 days I experienced nothing but piece and love. Hearing this just solidified the experience and I thank you and I know what I have to do.
I cried 3 times watching this, back at 2022 14 years old in the beginning of the year I wanted to be with Jesus, but then I went back my own way once I received the Holy Spirit. It was like I was running away endlessly. Until today I have watched this video like God telling me to come back. The lowest point of the pastor was when it touched me. And there I felt a sudden love fulled up my room and that’s when I cried knowing that I’ve been running away from God. That he brought me back.
Today I am very grateful that God brought me back and gave me another chance. Thank you God, for finding me again. ❤
Jesus loves His children so so so much!!! I feel this overwhelming sadness in my spirit for people who do not realise how much LOVE they already have. They only see the earthly and not in the heavenly realms. What I learned in my journey with the Holy Spirit is that if you are rejected by people close to you on earth. Just remember that you were chosen by our Father, our King of kings, our God, our Healer, our Redeemer and our Saviour. He loves you! He helps you! He is there for you! Not those who rejected you. God bless🙏🙏🙏
Jesus has been calling for me for the last 7 months. Your testimony has brought me to tears and for me to accept THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BACK INTO MY LIFE. PRAISE GOD RJ AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
I received Jesus into my 5 year old self and prayed to Him nightly for years on end. It was in my 12th year of life I back slid and fell away. By 15 I was an alcoholic and daily drug user. By18 I entered the criminal justice system. At 23 I was sentenced to 8 years in prison. By grace and intervention I returned to Christ in jail before my sentencing. The judge agreed to allow me an opportunity to attend Teen and Adult Challenge program in Muskegon Michigan. That turned out to be the most important year of my life. I’m 57 now and still growing in Jesus.
i remember one time when I saw something smoking a cigarette on the couch. The ember was light. I thought it was my mom, since at the time she smoked. When i returned upstairs it was gone. Addiction has been a problem in my family. My mother and father both have been addicted to alcohol before, as well as cigarettes. I myself was addicted to sexual immorality and pornography. My sister has been drinking alcohol recently as well. After I returned to the Lord I had a dream where a serpent was wrapped around me defiling me and condemning me.
I returned to the Lord after 20 years of being an active sinner, and he accepted me. The Devil still wants me to fall back into my sin, but any time I feel the urges of the flesh I'm going to read the Bible. Delve into the word and pray. I've tried fighting it off myself, but I always fail when i do so.
I am also fighting to come back to God and just 2 days ago I had this particular demonic encounter. Hearing your testimony I am positive now that my time of deliverance is at hand.
I am there too. Addiction snuck back in but he healed that for me, and I'm not abusing opiates anymore, but I relapsed on something else and I am so ashamed. I have attachments from sexual abuse, physical and mental abuse, and many other things. I listened to some of the hardest Rock N Roll, and was very worldly. I'm still learning, and I just really felt him trying to get my attention a few years ago, and I have talked to him all day, because he is my best friend, and this world really is making me weary, sad, and just disgusted because of the thing's that are being exposed. There is so many different entities? In this world that have been hidden from us, until we are worthy of the truth. This is a very BIBLICAL, SPIRITUAL war, and God is getting his army ready. I pray the lost are able to get saved. There are so many.
@@jessicaconner80 It's really upsetting and embarassing.. 1 step up and 2 steps down. It will really take a God to save us. But surely, as the Lord liveth we will not be forsaken or abandoned.
@@mojomahojo8253 today is the day of salvation. Dive in headfirst and don't even give it a second thought. He's got you!!! Praying for you and can't wait to meet you on the other side. I've backslidden HORRIBLY before and had so many consequences.....
BUT GOD!!! Jesus is everything. Love you brother (or sister lol). 🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
Same here! Today!
Run to the Father my friend. Pray and fast and give all to the Lord!! God bless you my friend
I was married in 2013, too! Praying this will be spread to others despite UA-cam's algorithm. Anyone who doesn't consume Jesus-centered media should see this anyway! It's not a mistake or coincidence, God is calling you to repent and trust alone in Him.

Just prayed for yall
Lord, hear the prayers of your people, that cry out for mercy over a generation that is slipping away. Hear Dorothy’s prayer for Greta, if it is your will, show yourself to her, before it’s to late … like you did to Thomas. Like To the brothers on the road to Emmaus, let yourself be seen by her- for mercy sake… because the price that was paid, was so high, that every soul that is spared is precious. Let her children be a testimony that the Word, never returns empty…
And jn the same spirit, i intercede. Though unworthy, by your merits, I am privileged to ask that this mercy be extended, to all of our children, the children of those who put their trust on you…let seeds be watered… and lead our prodigal children home. Like this beautiful young man- it is for your glory … because you make of us, new vessels … thank you - amen
james 5:13-20 kjv
Jesus is so real. I love to see people so in love with him. I’ll pray for that awakening in the church. Thank you for sharing!
Rj this is awesome! I don’t feel so alone spiritually now, because I’ve been struggling with my spirituality and people think it’s “crazy” to believe these days and weird, but I feel like God is the only other way for me, and I struggle because there are so many distractions.
I love watching these testimonies from different people but this one reflects the events in my life. I feel like God led me to this video specifically because I feel like I've been failing God but he is so loving and merciful and i guess I just needed to be reminded. He is amazing! Glory be to God in the highest!
I want this relationship with God, I have been lukewarm too. I want to give Him my everything. I’m a single mom trying to do it all and feel like there’s never enough time. But I don’t want there yo be any more excuses anymore. I love God and I want this same intense relationship with Him too.
@bianca Johnson. When you make the lord your first priority He will provide everything from that. He is your living water. Drink from His well. I used to be a single mom. Went through so much and then cancer. God restored my life. Everyday I give to Him! Glory to Him always
I would love to feel the presence, love and forgiveness. I'm ready but I'm always so guarded. I try to break the wall that holds me back, but it's just me holding me back. I pray for the Holy Spirit to help me. I know it will happen, if I just let go and let God.😢
His story resonates with me. When I was 7 I willingly gave my life to Christ and then when I became a teenager my life was thrown upside down. Now at the age of 32 and god called me. I’ve always wanted to speak to the brokenhearted and overlooked people because that’s what I was. Now he’s called me.
I need help everyone I know my life’s called to be with Jesus! Doubt and stuff has been lying to me but I know Jesus is real! Please pray for me! I love this testimony❤️
@@raydotson4798 Thank you so much ❤️God Bless you I’m not letting Jesus go
I have been distancing myself away from God... Backtracking to the old lifestyle I once had before I began to serve Him. I have been living in guilt for quite a while now, but I know that God is calling me back to Him. This video came at the right time...Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Same here brother
The devil makes things look good. He's entices, manipulates, deceive, lie, cheat, etc., to get you. He does it not because he loves you, but because he wants you to join him in hell.

I've been in that place for a few years now. I was an addict for almost 20 years, and I ended up in a 1 year faith based program in Beaverdam, VA in 2016. I grew up in a Pentecostal church the first 12 years of my life, but it was a Sunday thing mostly. Didn't know God at all. And as soon as the opportunity came to not go to church, I went on the run.
I was a rebel, hard headed, and just wild. I struggled with depression, acceptance, and rejection... all of which eventually led to smoking, alcohol, and drugs. I constantly got in trouble at school, and barely made it to my senior year. At which point I went to jail for 3 months, and was on "high school release". That is until they realized I was not doing my work and was failing. So they stopped me from going the last month of my time. And by the time I got out, there were 4 months left of my senior year, and I was so far behind that I just gave up and quit. And I went to work for my dad. But of course, I screwed that up too, and he eventually had enough and fired me.
By then I felt pretty worthless. Hopeless, with no goals, ambitions, or direction. Just aimless and lost. I was very close to suicide at that point.
I lost my job at Jiffy Lube for something out of my control, and I just said screw it. Bought an ounce of weed, took what I wanted for myself and my buddy, and we proceeded to sell the rest.
In that process we ran into a guy I played soccer with as a very young kid, and he happened to be looking for weed. And he told me he was leaving in 3 days to hitchhike to Ohio for Grateful Dead tour. That was September of 1993. I spent the next 3 years following them all over the country. It saved my life honestly, and intruduced me to spirituality. Though it would be several years later that it all led to Jesus, and many many many heartaches and destruction of my life. Still had alot of depression and demons gripping me. And heroin made it all go away, or so I thought. I believed it was a miracle drug. I actually told a couple of people that God gave it to me. Oh how naive I was.
Fast forward past multiple jail stays, and ultimately a 5 year prison bid, I did ok staying away from opiates for a few years, but was still drinking and living in sin of all sorts. That is until I went to that program and met Jesus. And he changed me pretty much instantly. I used to cuss like a sailor on steroids, but all of a sudden I just didn't. And it grossed me out to hear it. And though I did slip a couple of times in the grooming process, I was incredibly convicted.
Well, I graduated that program and was on fire. But I started making little compromises, which ultimately led to the devil taking that mile when I only gave an inch. And I ended falling back into heroin addiction, and of course shame and guilt. I struggled for about a year, and then got on sublocade for about a year. I got off of it all and I'm free from it now. But I still haven't felt like I'm back. What's worse is that I'm on the worship team at the church of another faith based program. I'm not in the program, I just volunteer. My mom passed from covid pneumonia January 8th of last year, and I decided that if I was going to stand any chance, I had to get plugged back in, and get close to Jesus again. But I still struggle with that. I'm definitely called to ministry, and especially music ministry. It's the one most significant time I ever heard God speak to me audibly almost... and He told me what He was going to have me doing, clear as day.
But I'm still having a hard time fully surrendering, and I'm scared. I've prayed so much about it, and He speaks to me. But I keep doing a couple of things He tells me to stop. But tonight I got a tugging to search for stories of redemption after backsliding. And though the ones I saw were beautiful, I needed something very specific. And just when I was going to hang it up for the night, I saw this video in the que. Actually, all I saw was Roy's face. I didn't see the title or anything, and I just looked like he was going to tell my story in his own way from his own experience. So I scrolled up and clicked. And although it moved me greatly, and let me know that Jesus loves me still and always... I still feel like I'm holding back.
So please pray for me.
Thank you for sharing your testimony Roy. I've saved and downloaded this video so I can re-watch it again and again if I have to.
What takes my breath away every time I think about it is GODS MERCY .
Praise be to God!!!Wonderful testimony!! This here brings me hope for myself and my two kids.. Jared and Jacob.
Jesus has been working on me. But it’s also been a struggle, especially with my sons, whom are young adult and teenager, who don’t know Jesus, if you read this please pray with me for jared and Jacob that Our lord God to open their eyes and bring clarity
To their minds for their own good. In the glorious name of Jesus Christ!! Amen. Thank you.
So wonderful to hear these testimonies! Thank always be to God!!!!💚
Prayers are up!!
@@yezeniavasquez9857 thank you sister!!
We appreciate hearing his testimony. You can always build your relationship with God again and again. Even if you backslid from him, God will still accept you, despite all of your flaws and sins.
You can't build a relationship with something you have never met.
@@vshah1010 AND you’re here because why?
@@vshah1010 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1 We may not see God but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist how about you try a pray to the Lord and see.
This is so crazy because i stumbled across this testimony knowing no context of it, and this is also the very first video I’ve seen from this channel and it literally applies so much to me. I’ve grown up in a Christian home and i was on fire for the Lord as a kid. My grandfather was a missionary throughout Texas and my family and I would always go with him and there’s been a few encounters I’ve had with strangers at those churches and they told me that the Lord spoke to them saying that one day I was gonna be a great pastor. I never really believed them and i fell into sin and tried running but little did i know, I couldn’t! I am now 20 years old, and I got saved a little over a month ago and I now know EXACTLY what i need to do!
