    Hi Vivian! My testimony is similar to yours. Prior to coming to Jesus, I was empty. My life was meaningless. I tried to fill the void with everything the world had to offer. I turned to sex, alcohol, and drugs. I almost got an abortion when I found out I was pregnant at 22, but praise God, He spoke to me and said NO. YOU ARE NOT GETTING AN ABORTION. 7 years later, I'm sober and walking in purity. I'm saved and raising my daughter in the ways of the Lord 🥲 I didn't KNOW, but God did. He foreknew, foreseen, and foreordained. God is so good and faithful! God bless you my sister. 🙏🏼💗

    i grew up in a christian home. but in my teens I left the church. I listened to a lot of rock music and watched a lot of horror movies and it made me very negative and suicidal. Last year I started to seek God more and ask for my deliverance and by watching an online deliverance service, I felt my mental freedom. And it's been about 8 months since I've listened to world music. I try my best to feed my mind only with good things and God. and a total transformation is already taking place in my way of thinking. music and movies have a big influence on us and we don't even know it.

      Yeah music completely programs your mind. Just the same as affirming scripture makes you feel more positive. Or affirming anything in life. You program yourself to be depressed by listening to sad low vibrational music

    I've never done drugs and ive only drank alcohol once and decided that wasn't for me. However, my struggle was sexual sin, fornication, masturbation, and porn. Also, horror movies and not so good secular music. I'm thankful to have been delivered from that. It will be a year since I've been saved when May comes.

      I used to hear a voice in my head telling me not to smoke many times and I chose to ignore it, I literally would hum over it or sing over it, and when I did it my spouse would come home drunk and he was struggling with alcoholism- two months ago I decided to give up smoking and we got sober together. It was interesting how we both admit when we struggled with our addiction the other would have big issues, too.
      He pulled us out together. We have to be willing to listen to that voice and if we blatantly ignore it- well things will be a lot harder!
      Congratulations on getting sober! God is good! ❤

    I was craving nicotine SO bad this past week after quitting for 8 months. I even tried drinking after years of quitting yesterday to curb the cravings (I've never been dependent on alcohol luckily so it has always been easy to put down).
    I ended up breaking out in hives after 2 sips and this has never happened to me in the past. I've always been a "heavier" drinker.
    And my husband has to take the car for work every morning and comes back late and there's no way I'm purchasing a pack while he's with me. I could never let him down like that.
    I couldn't sleep at all because of the cravings but this video popped up.
    The Holy Spirit is working with you Vivian. It reminded me that I had to stop looking at the world, humble myself and really PRAY this time. This really helped to me turn back to God again!
    He is a JEALOUS and LOVING God ❤

    I grew up with Christian roots. I had seasons where I would be doing different things, some seasons it would be weed and cocaine and alcohol or just opiates and weed, then I went to molly and E and weed every single day like all day long for a couple months I was on that but God SET ME FREE! I started to turn into a hypochondriac and my peace was gone and when I had no more peace I knew where to go I went straight back to the Lord and here I am, transformed and restored! My marriage restored and with a beautiful baby boy 👦💙💙💙💙 congrats to you girl ❤

    I struggled with a cocaine addiction for a short period of time. My dad used to use as well and sell and I got caught right into it. Eventually it got to an accidental use of snorting meth and I went through a crazy come down and got fed up with where that party life was taking me.

    You will get back to that place. Glory to God. Yess we must remain close to God. Happy you're figuring things out. Amen.
    It's Definitely a journey. At times we wonder off and or stray away from God. But no one is perfect. You will get back to that place! Amen

    I struggled heavily with weed and right before I got set free I was beginning to become obsessed with cigarettes and ketamine. But I was taking MD (molly), psychedelics and coke sometimes. My husband was a dealer. We both got radically set free but backslid into weed last year after a year and a half sober. Drugs are so serious and if you have a family history of addiction, it becomes a huge stronghold. I personally am still dealing with insecurity with the way I look from some traumatic experiences I had on mushrooms.

    Hi sis , just as an observation please do not take Birth control it’s so bad for you ! You’re gaining weight from that not from thinking you’re lazy ! Please trust what I’m saying , I’m about to be 30 and was on all birth controls for many years , i gained 50 pounds , hair loss , psychosis , acne , bone loss, vitamin deficiency, huge cyst the size of cantaloupe needed to be removed because of birth control ! I finally got off of it in March 2022 , had an early miscarriage January 2023 now trying again but i wish I would have never got on birth control to begin with. It’s not worth it !

I have really struggled with laziness along with adhd, depression, anxiety, and ptsd so pointing out how much of it is actually laziness has been hard to discern. However, I know that I've been lazy in one area too many and your videos have helped me get my toosh moving! I feel like your videos are a course study, lol, maybe it should be! God bless you girl! Keep serving the Lord in all He's called you to do!!

    funny enough a part of my journey to finding Christ was me taking mushrooms… i meditated, listened to music, journaled. It was peaceful.
    I’m not saying shrooms was the reason I was saved but it definitely led me to where I am now.
    And maybe this is me justifying my drug use… but marijuana and mushrooms can be beneficial. Especially microdosing.
    I think the problem is when people abuse these drugs. That’s why people have bad trips or traumatic experiences. You should only roll or trip a few times a year at most.
    That being said, I’ve prayed about this. I am a believer but I also love EDM and have continued to go to music festivals and raves. I am not doing drugs or getting drunk or rolling or tripping every weekend though.
    As I said, I do it few times a year. I can go on and on about psychedelics… they must be used properly and 99% of people do not use it properly. That is all.
    I have recently been convicted to stop smoking marijuana because I have no self control. I have become the stereotype of being lazy and too comfortable with life. Will I smoke weed again? Probably. I don’t plan to any time soon and I would hope I can reach the point of self control otherwise, I won’t be smoking anymore. But I don’t necessarily see anything morally bad with smoking weed or taking psychedelics, especially for spiritual/religion purposes.
    Also, werent some Catholic Churches back in the day - all the priests and members - they would get high off psychedelics lol.
