- Morris Cerullo interviews Michael English, award-winning Christian vocalist, who shares the bitter-sweet story of God's restoration in his life after the ugly scandal of an adulterous affair which resulted in divorce, broken relationships, drug addiction, and homelessness. There's hope even in the darkest pit of despair.
Billy Graham says "some just have to take the long way home".......so true!
I am an old lady, and have been here a long time. Michael English is absolutely the best singer I have ever heard. Is there any wonder than the enemy would try to stop his witness (in song) for Christ. I am very proud of Michael for not taking the trip that satan had planned for him. Keep singing the gospel with that wonderful voice.
Check out my video Michael English vocal range!! We all like his testimony
Can I cheat on my wife and blame it on the 'enemy' ?
Steve Rollins Why not? That's xtian standard operational procedure. Break their commandments, claim the devil made them do it, ask Jesus for forgiveness, repeat process.
Dougibert It is not God's way. It might be man's. God is who you can turn to for forgiveness, but it is not free, it was bought at an unimaginable cost- the innocent blood of His son, Jesus. Hence God demands in return for forgiveness is first- acknowledgement of our sin, that we committed by choosing to not obey His laws. Secondly, God requires us to turn away from the sin we chose to commit and to "crucify the flesh" and walk in accordance with His Law. There is grace, thankfully for all whom are so far from what we should be as "Christians" and we are blessed with the ability to take our imperfection to God for renewed grace. HOWEVER, God will not accept- the devil made me do it. He will not accept no change in your behavior or lifestyle that has taken you from His Grace. You will be held to account on the day of judgment when we all bow down and cry Holy for each and every act we have committed and asked for forgiveness without the intent to remove that sinful way from our path. You cannot be in Christ and claim immunity because of the devil- the devil sure gets a lot of blame for free will! Until true repentance is asked for- none is given. One of my favorite Pastor's is John Hagee- He said-" you can be baptized in the blood of forgiveness but unless you are confessing, accepting responsibility, and actively CHOOSING to walk on the path God has designed for you- you will go under the water a dry sinner and come up out of the water a wet one." Not exact quote but close as I remember it- very convicting and true of most "Christians" today. FYI, Jesus and God never called us Christians or xtians as you so decided to shorten it, He called us Saints. He expects more than the devil made me do it and until you are willing to accept that the devil didn't make you do anything, you chose to, you cannot be saved or forgiven.
Are you serious? I do not believe he ever "planned" to commit adultery. I have been on the road doing mostly country, though this was over 20 years ago. I have seen so much sin in this world. Mr Rollins, God is a forgiving God and also a God with high standards, but he created us and loves us, and he asks that we come to him for whatever the situation; Michael did just that - eventually. Just look at the lives Michael's music has touched since. There is absolutely no question God's hand is on his life and his talent. Never make fun of the fallen; you may be there someday. Besides, he is no longer "fallen." He will answer, as will you and I, for any sin he committed after being saved by God's grace and his son's blood.
Michael English has become my favorite singer in the past years because of his testimony. I don't know how many times I begin to cry when I hear him sing. My whole life changes. The anointing just grasps me within. It never fails for the holy spirit to get a hold of my heart totally.
I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️🧡💓 May God bless and keep you safe 😷😷
I just bought Michaels book & I can't wait to read it. Good for you Michael, because there are many others out there struggling with some of the same issues you experienced & I pray your testimony will help them. God bless you & I'm praying for you.
I like this pastor. He asked the hard questions
With Love and Truth
Its just too bad he doesn't preach the truth.
@vernonsteinkamp1088 hmmm so then why would English meet with him then? too bad 🤔
what a humble man, is Michael English! WOW!
"what made him think about what he did? His conscience!!!!"... Nobody is perfect, not even one. Yet, Appreciate the honesty through which Michael composes himself to speak through the whole interview! God bless your heart Sir English. Absolutely one of the best voices i have heard in my lifetime!
I was a huge fan of his before his fall. But with the honorable, admirable and beautiful way that he has come back, I'm an even bigger fan of his now.
We all fall short of the glory of God , awards , money our talent does not keep or sustain us ! Only having that intimate relationship with Jesus will keep us ! Because just because we SAY we are Christian doesn’t mean we have intimacy with the Lord . Praise God for His grace and restoration in our lives ‼️🙏🏽
Michael, I continue to pray for protection over you and your ministry. May God continue to Bless you. This testimony has blessed me immensely. It is wonderful to see you on this side of what was once a nightmare for you. God used your music throughout for His Glory. In the years that I "did not take my Christianity seriously," it was your songs that specifically spoke to my heart. My trials were different, but the wilderness is the wilderness. Thank you for answering God's call and being His voice in my darkest hours.
Amen. There is too much judgement in this world. Esp from the "church goers"
I am K C and I approve this message
***** agree what is a KC
I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️🧡💓 May God bless and keep you safe 😷😷
Michael we love you
I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️🧡💓 May God bless and keep you safe 😷😷
I dontknow how i bumped into this , I TRUST GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES
Thanks for sharing your testimony
Thank you Jesus 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. Wow what a testimony?? Am sure thousands can relate to his experience. Flesh wrestling against spirit. It’s no easy way but Jesus can/ will get you through. Just keep leaning on him🙏🏼
Michael English is such
A kind soul,& you can
He's genuinely taken
With Morris,
God will forgive us for anything but one thing! I'm a recovering alcoholic, Crack addict, adultress, chasing a feeling to cover my pain and today I am forgiving, God helps me every day and I sure don't deserve it. people in my family and even in my church judge me talk about me like a dog, and it is so alright, God's opinion of me is all I need. I don't care what folks say just don't put your hands on me. I can't believe how ignorant folks are, call themselves Christians (WOW) IF THAT IS WHAT CHRISTIAN PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE I DON'T WANT NO PART OF IT" HE KNOWS MY NAME YALL!!!!"
Nancy i have so much respect for what you say. you are open and vulnerable and let the whole world look into your life and in your heart. it really gave me goosebumps when I read your answer this hit me right in the heart. In my family I have many people with the same problems, of which they don't want to stop under any promise. the temptation is too great and we have done everything in terms of care and food and so on, but as soon as we turn around they just continue. I was once in the mall asked by my niece for money for food she said but I refused and said if you need food I go with you and pay for you, but you do not get a cent in my hands because I know it will go wrong. and then she ran away and was angry. the only thing we can do in these situations is to pray. because we cannot change these people, only God can. But it hurts me so much that she doesn't want anything else. Because nowadays with addiction or financial or relationship problems you name it, I think that it is not far off how bad and deep and difficult a situation can be nowadays there is quite a lot of help on the above problems. But then someone must want to and as we call it here, turn the button and go for it with the necessary help. and dear Ms. if you do not agree with me then please say so because I am also someone who can react rather fiercely and if this is the case then I am willing to change my words. I learned in my marriage to have to say sorry to my husband if I make mistakes. and I also learned to have to learn to say sorry to my 3 wonderful 3 lovely caring sons. which was very difficult for me because of my character. but thanks to my dear husband and my wonderful heavenly father God anything is possible, Michael has designed a necklace with text that says "Give God the best of what you have and He will bless it". and I have experienced that in my personal life. And I am thankful to God that He touched me and received His love in my life and my relationship with God has become so much deeper and stronger and I thank Him everyday with my heart for this amazing grace. God bless you sis😘
We walk and live in God’s wonderful forgiveness every day. Michael keep walking with the Lord
QUESTIONS ARE None of his TICK PICKING BUISNESS !!!! GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL ENGLISH
God forgives you and so do I . Lover your talent. You bring tears to me when I listen to you.
God is all...ALL. Period. The end. ALL. God bless Michael, what a witness.
Amazing Grace!
What a merciful God we serve who tells us work out our own salvation with fear and trembling !!!!!!!!. Great program. I love both men of God. Blessings.
Amen Greg R. Judge ye not lest ye be juged. David was a man after God s own heart. When we see sin all we should say is go and sin no more.
+Amy Marshall-Comperatore -- Read the other 4 verses.. the "Judge not" verses are about HYPOCRITICAL judging... AND you're combining pieces of other verses.. that's not Christian.. "Study to show thyself approved". When you don't know what "Judge not" verses are intended for, it's past time to be STUDYING and LEARNING God's word.. 90% of people say they are Christian, but cannot recite a verse IN context... and all that is called RIGHTEOUS Judgement.. as Jesus commands.. John 7:24.
I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️🧡💓 May God bless and keep you safe 😷😷
It took gutts for him to do this interview and a book I HEAR. I think his testimony is SO synonymous with everyone listening and that's from the home to the church. God bless him.
I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️🧡💓 May God bless and keep you safe 😷😷

it's well it's well brother Jesus paid it all in the Cross of Calvary
The awards of man are meaningless, but the Lord's award: eternal life is to die for.
Amen 🙌🕊️✝️ hallelujah
Mr. Morris Cerullo interrupted Michael English so much it was distracting. Glad Michael came back to the Lord because he is a tremendously blessed singer

Maynor Montalvan please post the "link" so we can check out michail's range
I know... it was annoying. But I still liked the interview though :)
Listen to him sing Here Comes The Bride, it is stratosphere, space great out of this world next door to heaven. I think best he"s ever done?
The book is amazing
Morris is very good at cutting in.
Michael, you are my hero, Gloria Mean Maguire
I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️🧡💓 May God bless and keep you safe 😷😷
I dont understand the criticism. The God I worship is a God of love mercy and grace. And forgiveness None of us are anything but AN OLD SINNER SAVED BY GRACE
Satan got David and Solomon... who do we think WE are to judge this man. There, but by the Grace of God, go I. I don't care who you are, you have addictions that you struggle with. When will people realize that there are 3 fingers pointing back when a finger is pointed at someone else?
That is the best analogy I have ever heard. Thank You my brother.
When a man cheats, the church says " he's a man, he has needs" when a woman cheats, we hear " slut, whore, jezabel spirit" I'll judge all I want thank you.
Greg R
Indeed! 🙌🏼

Every trial brings us clover to GOD.
*Closer. Clover totally changes the meaning!
It's a shame how Michael was treated, and how he allowed himself to be treated. You should never allow yourself to be judged.
I wish people will not stereotype Christians. Not all Christians are strong in their faith. That is one of the purpose of God's love is to heal us from our sins and to love us and accept us and to help us become children of God. Once you have surrendered your life to Christ and establish a relationship with God your life will change. Psalm 1
Gloria al Señor
Let Michael talk man!!
Eph.6:13...Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Like he said..we need it all, prayer, fasting the word.....we cannot do this alone
Amen 🙌🕊️✝️ hallelujah
Not the full interview?
Amem Deus abençoe a todos pastor
Yes, king David is a good example. Just really believe Michael received the limelight way too soon and before he was ready.
I saw Michael in Concert that very year. I meet his wife, whom I could sense knew that her husband was not trustworthy. For you women out there. If your gut tells you, When the spirit is talking to you. The best thing to do is to confront that spirit and ask the hard question.
What you do after that is thru prayer. Personally I kick him out on his shirt tail and let him figure it out between him-his lust and how he "decides" if the Lord is his life or not.
Tina Cohen lady you are the most critical wannabe Christian. I hope God forgives you. Just like he did Michael.
I'm totally in love with your comment ❤️🧡💓 May God bless and keep you safe 😷😷
Not saying he's lying. But he MAY have been just telling his fans what they wanted to hear.
The truth might have been that he was as dedicated a Christian as the next guy. And he was also human. And things happen sometimes.
For Morris to title this video as it is, it is a bit judgemental. We all know God forgives. And will forgive in this case also. There are only a few things that are pretty much unforgivable. But who are we to really know for certain. That is why there is a judgement day.
DOC You are correct I believe Christians are beyond Judgement al
It's not critical at all, considering the Bible has David's, Samson's, apostle Peter & Paul's flaws etc. written although God has forgiven. It's there for a reason to give hope for the sinner. Besides the title is appropriate to capture people's attention just as Psalms 51 is David's private prayer pleading forgiveness made public to give hope.
I wish the interviewer would simply let Michael English talk and finishes statements. Can't watch it anymore.
GOD BLESS TEXAS !!!!! GOD BLESS ALABAMA!!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!! BROUGHT DOWN ANGELS FROM THE PROMISE LAND...AND GAVE THEM A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD DANCE !!!!!! HOW BOUT IT.....NOW WHO SANGS THAT HUH HUH ???? GUY PENROD ????
God forgives ladies and gentlemen
And yet no one remembers Marabeth Jordan and the pain she lived through. Not a single mention or acknowledgement. Double standards.
I wish that man would shut up and let him talk....didnt he hear the part of being tired of others telling him what to do?? These ppl on tv are too controlling!! God doesnt need them directing everything!! God is very much alive and can direct things better than any man can!!
Morris needs to let someone else do the interviews. If you say I probably shouldn't say this and then continue on to say it , that's a sign. Thank God Michael English is humble.
Morris Cerrullo quit interrupting him mid sentence shut up and let Michael speak!!!
Yes shut up.
It's strange how people compartmentalise the hero's in the Bible who feel into grevious sin :
David- murder and adultery.
Solomon - child sacrifice.
Noah - drunkenness.
Samson - adultery etc
We see they were men of God and confess it but when people fall like that now we write them off like modern day pharsees .
Oh dear God this man Morris really creeps me out!!!!!....He talks like a freaky peter Lorey type guy who should be named Egore and live up in the bell towers and he speaks with a creepy voice! didnt he get arrested for somthing?.......Time to ring the bells with Quazimoto Morris!!!!!!!
Cerullo talks way too much!!!!!!
I was never a fan, and I'm glad...
Acts 2:38
most christian singers are like him, they just sing but don't have the relationship with GOD.
True words
Michael trust that God always called you and had a relationship with you. I grow up with you song In Christ Alone. It saw me through the toughest times in my life and still does. That's not coincidence that you have a Purpose a God given Purpose that inspired other Christians. Remember the words of your song says:' My source strength is Christ alone.'. We all have sinned. We all have failed God but those failures can also turn into out greatest testimonies. Having heard you story I'm still inspired by you. Don't lose Faith. Your ministry reached far and wide. My brother and I used to listen you. Our Youth did outreach every weekend and musical productions even 30 years later inspired by singers like you. We our currently in week 3 og Lockdown in SA due to Covid19 and I was feeling very stressed trying to work from home in a highly pressurized job and juggling home schooling my 3 kids and my elderly mom. This morning I woke up with your song on my heart. In Christ Alone and wow did tears fall and I was once again reminded of how many battles in life I have overcome because my source of strength is Christ alone. Thank you for the part you played through you song that became an anchor in my life. Michael Keep serving God. Keep ministering in song. Keep be a blessing. Keep the Faith.
That's the man who REWROTE THE BIBLE ??? PROSPERITY ?? SEE IF I WANT OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR U OUT A BLESSING, U DON'T HAVE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE !!!!!!!!!! AMEN
He won't hold his parents accountable for their problems! They're to blame for his issues! Why do people brush off abuse from parents?
Recovery? For him???? He's the one who cheated!!!! What about his ex wife???
The Bible says to pull the mote out of your own eye before you can pull the mote out your friend's eye
@@melissawilliams6635 Yeah what about the husband of the woman he cheated with ?
This is HIS story. Theirs are not his to tell-- they should tell their own--should they even choose to have it out there.
@@lindaj2296 He is not the victim here. People need to stop making excuses for him. Also he is the only one who has a platform to tell his story.
@@scorpionx7044 I never said he was a victim. He did pay a high price, and he completely owns his guilt. I do not make ANY excuses for him; neither do I condemn a man who has owned it & asked for forgiveness as sincerely as he has. I do, however, think it's been talked about enough. It does start to seem disingenuous the more it goes on. I just wondered what happened with her life after. I hope she & her husband (who seemed, from Michael's book, to be an incredibly decent man who really loved his wife & was willing to forgive her) were able to repair their marriage. Michael's marriage was already irretrievably broken, but fear of judgement by the christian community kept them from divorcing. No excuse; just the way things were.
I may be wrong but in every interview he sounds like hes looking for pity. I am tired of hearing this story. His voice is great if he wouldnt change the way theyre written. He cant touch the voice of Guy Penrod and Iva Parker.
