30 years ago today, 10/30/22, I got saved! Heard your testimony when you all and News Boys were at the Atlanta Civic Center in 1992 and gave my heart to Jesus. So, as a special treat to myself, let's hear it again John!
Thank you for sharing this video. Amazing, beautiful testimony! I love PETRA ever since I was a new Christian. I really love that part when John said, "but I didn't realize the pastor's house had the Holy Spirit" 🙂, "I went in with an attitude, I walked out with Christ". Praise Jesus! God bless!
Petra music was the background music of my childhood. They played at my church when I was 12. It's wicked to hear his testimony and that he's been able to stay sober all these years.
What a great testemony!!! Some years later and I am here, just to say that I'm a big fan from Brazil!!!❤️ The verses of the song "Pray" ... in my opinion, is totally related to John's testemony and so many others all over the world...🌎 It doesn't matter if it was in the past, or in the current days or even in the future, Our God is the same Miracle worker, Promise keeper Light in the darkness and the Saviour of our lives!!! 🤩 "First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve" 🙌 ❤️🙏
i grew up with petra, started drumming because of them.. i used to love louie.. got myself a dw drumkit like he used to play and i kept on beating the ish out of it. thatsa what made me a musician.. but over the years, i drifted so far. johns story really caught me. so much things in common with this dude.. today is the9th of july 2017, i made a decision. hopefully I am strong enough to to keep it up. trying to reach the next plateau, or die.. thank you for uploading this
what it is that brings us here . .. .It's a purpose. . .It's God's only purpose. .We are all here for a unique purpose in our own unique existence . .. Without His purpose we would cease to exist or have any importance . . .
John 15:16 ~ You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
I' really love Petra especially John..anyway I got addicted of using heroine since 4 Years..I wanna get out of this life n become like John..please pray for me Pastor..love from Nagaland India
O my goodness his story is so true about addiction! I was on prescription Xanax for about 14 years and Adderall. Along with drinking it’s pretty much the same as coke and drinking even though I never done coke!

Petra!!! They even walk the remotest places of India all the way to Shillong, Meghalaya!!!! Beyond Belief!!!!
I got hooked on Petra way back in 1985, I am still hooked.
In our minds and hearts, our family's favorite vocalist of all time.

For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve
Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve" 🙌 ❤️🙏
Still listen to Petra and always will. Its good to praise the Lord all day with songs. It's helped me everyday listening to petras music.
I've been a fan of yours for years, and this is the first time I've hear your story. I adds so much depth to your lyrics. Thanks for your honesty.
Petra, my all time favourite Christian group. God used this band to take me out of secular rock and teach me more about Himself. Thank you Jesus ❤
Let everything that hath breath, Praise The Lord!
Hey, Brother John......you are a true light!
Thanks a lot for sharing this video. I loved Petra and John since I was a teenager. God bless. Greetings from Italy.
Praise The Lord
Amen, brothers and sisters.....come home.......the Lord knows your hearts.....it's time to come home..........
I still remember when i heard Petra Praise 1 for the 1st time 30 years ago..still my favourite album😁
God bless john schlit he's a cool guy
God worked through Petra to inspire me to play bass guitar in Christian rock bands and on Church Praise Teams.

Fleischfresse you let Jesus be your strength and you’ll see it’s a surrender, not a struggle, my man.
One of my favorite vocalist of all time ❤️
So blessed to see him. He came to my home town too for a gospel concert 🙏🙏 God bless you all.
O testemunho do Jonh, é maravilhoso! e a forma que que Deus agiu para alcançar o Jonh, só Ele sabe fazer, bendito é o nome do Senhor Jesus Cristo !
Awesome testimony
greatly blest, God bless you, John and the pastor
My favorite Petra song is We need Jesus on the Wow CD back in the 90' s. Best song ever!😊

Greatly blest, God bless you, John and the pastor and viewers of this video
India......I thank you, and pray God blesses you
Take A Stand For JESUS!

Ahoa, I will pray the Lord takes this addiction away and replaces with a love of God. - From America, Timothy.
@ahoakonyak2914, I pray that God has set you on the Solid Rock, Jesus Christ, setting you free, delivering you from heroine, in Jesus Name!!!
I love petra yey praise God
Praise god
There's nothing impossible with God
Wow! I can relate to addiction! It’s a very difficult thing to deal with! Doesn’t matter if you’re a Christian or not which I am, it’s a disease!
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when John hit the carpet at that pastor's house! ;)
Bethel AG church, Bangalore
O my goodness his story is so true about addiction! I was on prescription Xanax for about 14 years and Adderall. Along with drinking it’s pretty much the same as coke and drinking even though I never done coke!
Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad has another incredible Testimony. It was the same time period as John's.
AMAZING TESTIMONY
Who is this pastor! He was awesome- not john- but the intro man?
I wish he'd come to Dubai :D
WHICH PASTOR IS IT
👌👌
Eso fue en Dubai?
❤
Mark and grand funk railroad were anti drugs and were cheered over the Devil's Led Zeppelin in one of their concerts
❤❤❤❤😅
