- I was walking around the WKU food court when I ran into three guys and as I asked them about the afterlife. One of them had Christian beliefs. Another said he was Christian and talked about reincarnation. And the third talked about the Big Bang Theory and returning to where we came from. But as I talked to them about Jesus, something amazing took place.

My Testimony:
I grew up in church, but instead of knowing Jesus, I only knew religion. This led me to live a very hypocritical lifestyle. By the time I was in college, from the outside looking in, it seemed like I had everything together in my life. I was in the military, getting paid to go to college. I had plans to become a financial planner and expected to make a six figure income shortly after completing my degree. I had joined a fraternity and had access to all the alcohol, drugs and girls that I desired. In spite of all of that, on the inside I was broken, depressed, and empty as I searched through the world for something to satisfy my void.
I radically encountered God in a rock bottom moment and everything in my life changed from the inside-out. Instead of pursuing my own life plans, God rerouted my life into full-time ministry. After joining a local church, I began to voluntarily serve for several years. Over time that led into a church staff position opening up for me. As a result I’ve had the opportunity to wear many hats including: administration, overseeing media, sound, & lights, leading worship, preaching, leading outreach ministry, and many other tasks that have arisen with ministry. While being faithful with the small, the Lord started to open doors for me to preach and equip the saints at other churches as well.
God has expanded His reach through the ministry to include not only many different states in the U.S., but also several different nations. Via in person encounters and social media platforms including UA-cam, Facebook, and Instagram, we're reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
God has given me a beautiful wife named Abigail, and blessed us with two lovely children named Nora and Will. Abigail is currently on staff at our church as the Worship Pastor. Our hearts desire is to love God, love others, and walk as Jesus walked.

I was deep into this idea of reincarnation etc and yoga. But Jesus saved me and the Bible is the Truth.
Welcome home, sister 🫂🕊️ God bless and Peace be with everybody who reads this. B’Shem Yeshua HaMashiach, Amen.
Hallelujah! Praise God
Hallelujah! Praise God

@marielestrellanaslund It is believed that in 553 A.D. during the Second Council of Constantinople the idea of reincarnation was found to have no place in the Christian Church..
Do you notice how distracted 2 of them are as soon as you gets to the gospel??
It's powerful. Satan is trying to distract them by sending thoughts in their heads
I clocked that. when you’re familiar with the enemy then you see him working in other people. This is why we need to be wearing the armour of God talked about in Ephesians 6
mister big bang theory looks like the most genuine and receiving out of all 3 of them.
Now imagine how God works and how different peoples hearts are set up how the guy who I thought was gonna be the least interested seemed to be listening the most then the other two one was laughing the other looked uncomfortable during the gospel so yea it’s interesting definitely noticed
They wanted to leave because they became bored 🥱 and just wanted to be left alone. I have no way of knowing what they truly believe and what is in their heart. I could see by actions they were trying to be respectful but just wanted the talk to be over. Just like when you were in school listening to the instructions just waiting for recess to start. I have no way of knowing if Satan was pushing them to become bored. But I could tell they wanted to be left alone after a while that is visible showing through their glancing around, facial expressions and the lack of engaging in the conversation. By the way if you are on private property like a mall it is breaking the law to be bothering or pressuring people about politics and preaching. So the guy preaching needs to humble himself and be respectful and not breaking the law. The preacher knows this yet he broke the law. I have friends that preach in the mall or on private property and they are told by security and the police that this is a mall so people can shop with no soliciting. I wonder if he is going to repent yet he habitually does this so he knows better and knowing this is illegal how does he square this away with God by commiting the same sin. He is in love with the sound of his own voice. Pride. Loitering. If he wants to do this legally he needs to rent a store
@@alisarsour8552 you are saying that you don't know what is in the hearts of those who he was talking to, i agree we don't know. Yet, you are accusing the evangelist of being prideful. Why the double standard?? or is it possible to indicate what is possibly in a person's heart by the way they carry and outwardly express themselves. Jesus said "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks"
I was once atheist, funny enough I found God when I was Swearing at him, but I questioned myself "who am I swearing too?!" And so I started listening to God in my heart... I'll be honest, sometimes I still swear to God, and I apologize and have tried to repent from it! Don't swear to God! He will swear back... just without the swearing, he acted through people amd events in my life and that's how I came to him...
You are a true Christian. God bless you.
He is a loving father we should fear and love
GOD SAVE THESE YOUNG MEN❤
Amen in Jesus name they will be saved and guided to the real truth of the gospel
Praise the Lord. Jesus is my King🎉
Amen to that brother
This is really sad their parents never talked to them about who is God the word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
I pray that they will with their children! ❤
Nicholas, I would just like to say I am a 63 year old survivor of 2 strokes and I can definitely say that Jesus saved me and kept from going straight to hell, I don't know what he saw in but I am so thankful he grabbed and protected me, Thank you Lord Jesus! 🙏🏾❣️✝️‼️ May I also say I am a new subscriber and I am loving your outreach videos. 👍🏾
I think the guy with the dreads was the one listening the most and receiving the message! I hope they follow Jesus they are in a hard place being in college!
The one with dreads I went to middle and high school with and at first I was like he looked familiar and then went to his Facebook pictures and seen that it was him since I haven’t seen him in 3 years since we graduated high school
The late comer is the one who's listening the most❤
I'm so impressed by how well mannered these guys were, seriously this gives me faith in humanity. God bless these young man 🙏🏽
You'd hate John the Baptist and Jesus and the 12. They weren't mannered at all. That's why all but one were murdered.
@anthonythomas1504 actually they weren't poorly mannered at all. They were killed for their beliefs not their manners.
It’s nice that you’re impressed by them and they definitely seem to be pleasant people but at the same time, it’s a shame that what’s expected from youngsters has become so low that just being receptive and respectful in a conversation can be impressive.
@@anthonythomas1504 You are saying Jesus Christ wasn't our perfect example? He never sinned. What you saying?
They seemed very open to sharing their thoughts, & welcoming of new ideas❤ That's what young ppl are supposed to act like; especially on college campuses!!! Very curious to listen & unafraid to speak up when asked for thoughts.
--We always had random ppl walking around; & everyone was discussing new information, so it was very rare for anyone to feel combative & become aggressive towards others!! Just bouncing ideas, sharing opinions & eager to hear new/opposing views!
The most controversial topics are NOT supposed to be hurtful; they're the most interesting things to talk about, to gain perspective; we would listen & reflect before jumping in. Instead of shutting down & throwing out wild accusations. It was fun!
Bro i think you just changed the course of their friendships for the best! 8:18 his friend was definitely keeping that a secret and now his friend knows hes going to be getting into it now. Seed planted!! I know that the crowd preaching get more views for you which is why im grateful that you still do stuff like this. I know your not after fame but i know your ministry will keep growing as your blessing of being so humble!!
My neighbor who is a Christian believes in reincarnation. I told her I don’t and gave her scripture.
Most likely she doesn't have a scripture, or didn't read it, never probably
@@ionfocsa4362 agree!
@@RaptureReadyforJesus-qv2ql if you agree, than give that lady a scripture 😉😇
@@ionfocsa4362 I did give her scripture. I stated that in my comment. My neighbor and I have spoken a few times about different subjects related to new age and Jesus . 💕
this might be a good scripture to share with your neighbor.
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.."

Spread the gospel to everyone especially your family and friends
At least they sat through the whole convo
Your prayers are always the most BEAUTIFUL! I just get this amazing feeling when you pray ! I ask the lord everyday to send me someone with the type of heart and anointing that you have !! Thanks for all you do !
Amen same here it’s beautiful definitely the Holy Spirit moving
Thank you brother Nicholas for your amazing ministry! May God bless you 100 fold for your work! Amen 🕊️🤍
Seen several of your videos before, but this was the first one I watched where you gave your testimony. You have a gift for communication and you use it well for God's glory. It probably doesn't look like much just watching the video, but it's conversations like this that can be the inflection point in someone's life where their whole destiny changed.
The lord is so good and I am at AWE at how this encounter was so divinely and he put you in the right place at the right time with these men who were thinking of church before you came. I LOVE THIS. I felt the holy spirit definitely leading you, and I am so thankful. Thank you Jesus!!!
Uh no
I just thanked GOD for you young man.I am asking you to pray for me, it's spiritual warfare that's been going on my entire life. Lately my feet are on fire for The HOLY SPIRIT
have prayed for you...may God bless you on your journey to Him
Idolatry is pervasive in Christianity today.
Catholic doctrine sadly
This was powerful! 😢Praise Master Jesus!
What an incredible encounter! This has been such an encouragement and I am so grateful for how the Lord uses you for His glory! God bless you. Thank you, this is so inspiring for the outreach I am involved in by the grace of God. Praying for this ministry and these brothers.
I just stumbled on your channel a few days ago brother and I've been Binge watching your Vids. My brother in Christ is definitely anointed.
People unfortunately
Think that you can
Mix Jesus and weirdness
Together
Amen brother keep building the kingdom! Bring these people to see the Lord in Heaven!
Nicholas, thank you for being an example to the Body of Christ in these last days. God bless you and keep you safe in Him.
You can call a pig a giraffe but it's still a pig.
Alot of "christians" will hear "I never knew you"!
May the God bless these three young men to accept Jesus in their heart.♥️✝️🧎♀️
These young men were great. Hopefully they understand what they need to do. God bless
God bless you Nicholas
Loved this video. Stay blessed and stay beautiful y’all !
Enjoy watching you, encourages me to hand out tracts. Just got clean after 8 yrs of using fentanyl n tranq in kenso Philly. After I got clean a girl I was trying to help out said I put my hands on her and I was arrested and put in Camden county jail which was a big discouragement in my faith. I'm struggling to get back on track now. Any prayers would be nice. My name is Christopher... Ty nick
It's crazy how to this generation have no idea about what's in the scriptures.
Powerful man of God, I pray to raise a son to be how you are today! God bless your feet servant of the Lord and God bless and keep these young men in Jesus name!
God bless you brother! 🙏🏽
God bless you and everything you do in His mighty name!
Yo Nicholas bro you forgot to mention that the Christian life is about walking with Christ. You will stumble sometimes, you will make mistakes but the goal is to not give up the journey until Christ comes or calls us home
Listening from here in Ada, Oklahoma
Thanks!
Sir you are anointed 😊 God Bless you and your family AMEN
Honestly. I love children. I feel like crying when I see this foolishness 😢
Remember lord
Your compassion and mercy
Which You showed long ago
Do not recall the sins and failings
Of my youth
In your mercy remember me, lord
Because of your goodness
Psalm 25 6-7
You’re just killing it with these videos man and I admire your boldness to go out and preach to young dudes like this. Honestly man, this is just amazing stuff. Keep it up and keep serving The Lord with all your heart. Amen and God bless 🙏
Hallelujah. Our Father is our Dr, our Redeemer, our Savior..our Truth and Life. He is the Way.
Amen❤️☦️❤️ you say the true.
Wow! Blessings brother!
God you are mighty !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank u for your grace !!!!!!!
So good man. Thank you for what you're doing Nicholas
Love your channel! I recently started a Bible study at my church and just really hope it can help me improve and help others find Jesus and his love!
Greetings from UK, you are truly doing the Lords work , God bless you and your family
Beautiful and powerful to see how these 3 young men prayed with you and accepted to receive and live for the Lord. I pray also that these young men will grow much more in their walk in the faith in Jesus’s Christ name. Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Great video ❤✝️👏🏽✍🏽✍🏽
Thank you for what you have done with Amaxing Grace
Great job, God bless you
God bless all of you ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Really loved this video, what way he structured that conversation the holy sprite is truly special GOD bless you brother ❤
Praise the Lord. God blrss you, brother.
Good job sharing the gospel brother, planting seeds for the kingdom!
Romans 10:13 KJV - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. JOHN3:16-17
And What's the follow up ?
Thank you Nicholas, i myself as a Christian that has been pondering strongly on the word of god for these past few days has hit me stronger then ever with what I’m currently experiencing in these moments and have gotten my questions answered when I was in doubt with life goals and friends/family and this girl i strongly see myself committed to and im realizing God knows i am too but I as well needed to hear this and it’s strengthen my faith in the lord even more. It’s amazing how over the years I’ve been able to put my trust in the lord and to see the fruits he bared unravel in my life and the answers I needed after I continued to pray about them and not give up because of my faith.. he gave it to me ✝️🔒
This is powerful thank you bro
Nicholas, You're an amazing, amazing young man! People don't realize how blessed they are to meet you! I can actually feel the Holy Spirit thru your videos, unbelievable!
God Bless you
~never give up~
This video was soo sooo powerful! All glory to God!
Thank you Lord Jesus 😢 🙏 be with those 3 young men and protect them.
God bless you young man. I pray for an army of young people like you to rise up and go out into the world and engage the culture. You are a treasure. God bless you richly with a bountiful harvest of born again souls!
Love All, Serve All, Help Ever, Hurt Never. All Are One, Be Alike to Everyone.
All thoughts on afterlife's can be really bizarre.
I have been watching so many videos and you teach me so much.
Thank you. I'm so hungry to know Jesus and I want to 10000% saved. I know I have a long way to go but....I feel like God is pulling me in that direction
Thank you for what you do. ❤
Good analogies
People nowadays have trouble saying I don’t know. They feel the urge to give some kind of answer even though it’s completely incoherent and not well thought out.
Agree with you, brother 💯 🙏🏻
New to the Chanel, but started out like how Ray Comfort shares the gospel. Ray explains the need for a savior the best I have heard. Keep up the good work Nick!
Your ministry is solid. I love you Jesus Christ help me Jesus and tell me what you want me to do as your servant
Amen
Amen brother
When I did this I didn’t pray in words per say, I really felt what I was saying and meant it I didn’t read much of the bible but I knew Jesus was the truth so I realised in that moment my will had to be his and I had to choose Gods will with my free will and then holy spirit filled me up in a very super natural way, I had a mental break down for a while and pushed God out then needed him and here we are ❤️🙏
My joy and happiness comes from imperfection. Nothing is perfect and nothing will ever be.
"I was Buddhist for 8 months" 😂 it’s a religion not a diet my dude
@@dirkjensen969 … religion by definition is a particular system of faith or worship, You may not want to call it a religion for personal bias but it doesn’t change reality
@@dirkjensen969 😂😂😂 bro you’re so confident but so wrong, it’s literally a faith in accepting one’s suffering, if you actually knew anything about theology you wouldn’t be making these points 🤦♂️ don’t listen to me, go google it buddy
@@dirkjensen969 my reply got deleted. It’s literally a religion, I’m not typing out how it is just for my reply to get deleted again but a simple google will prove how wrong you are 😂😂 actually I will, Buddhism is basically the faith that one’s suffering is meant to be accepted to achieve enlightenment… please explain how it’s not a religion
@@dirkjensen969 the "god" in Buddhism is yourself, the one you worship is yourself… it’s the same with all pagan religions 🙄
@@dirkjensen969 😂 bro just accept you’re wrong, it’s literally a religion by definition

AMAZING
Yes Amen agreed, jesus bless you abundantly and use you mighty way son❤ Amen stay blessed Amen
so cool
It is appointed unto man ONCE to die then after this the judgment.
Thanks for showing the way to witness to others and sharing the Gospel message.
The Gospel message is simple -
(Paul speaking)
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ESV
[1] Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, [2] and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. [3] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, [4] that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
All have fallen short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth, the life, the only way to know God. Like sheep we had all went astray, but God laid on him the iniquity of us all.
These verse are very helpful for spreading the gospel! and Acts 4:12. He is the only way!!
This is absolutely a beautiful song" You're the Almighty God " ( English Version Official)
ALL GLORY GOES TO GOD AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ❤️🙏
At the end. That man. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Little knowledge is dangerous. Dont call yourself Christian if you dont even know the beliefs. Thank you though brother, may God bless you and them too in Jesus Name
Nick pray for me please I have pain in my stomach and my dr don’t know what it cause I take Suboxone for the pain I hate to take theses things the good lord knows I hated it I used to go to church I need to get back in church I really miss going
Trust that gut feeling. Get back to church. Time is running out. Seek God while he can still be found brother. Read his word and pray.
Cool 😎
Gd eve please can u pray my family and i...also our daily need and first of all we need Jesus in our daily life
What a great world it would be IF EVERY ONE WAS A BORN AGAIN CHTRISTIAN .The crime rate would be very low . Drug dealers would go out of business. No more prostitution .Bars would go out of business .No one would be in drunk driven accidents ,Lawer's would be very little needed .IF AT ALL .. But then again I did say IF ...
Everyone is born a devils child until they accept Jesus and become a child of God.
Adam and eve started it.
Damn, your story sounds similar to mine!
Those 3 guys don't know how to send him away.. please, do not force it too much, maybe they are just go out from 6 hours scholl. Talk to them but involve them too. He talks and talks and talks about his life, they want to go but don't know how, because if they say "please, brother, let our attention flow around" they are against God! Ah ah ah! What a difficult situation
I was a Christian for 27 years and I am a former associate pastor and music director before the doctrine of salvation was opened to me. After reading Jeremiah 33:3, and seeking God, He did something that brought me closer to Jesus than all the previous years. Repentance has TWO meanings. To repent and believe in Jesus IS the gospel. Repent unto salvation comes from the Greek word metanoia, meaning to change your mind . When we place our faith and trust in Jesus , that is our repentance. The second meaning of repentance is having conviction/sorrow for sin and asking forgiveness. I wanted to share this with you brother Nicholas , the gospel is to believe in Jesus.. Jesus says this four times in John 3. In Acts 16 Paul was asked by a jailer how he could be saved , and he told him to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
We as Christians still have the sin nature in our flesh, so we cannot " turn from sin" to be saved. Salvation is to be born again, sanctification is the process by which God is working on us in our lives daily. Once we are born again, we are presented blameless before the Father and sealed by the Holy Spirit which is our guarantee of our reservation in heaven ( Ephesians 1)
I greatly admire your courage in sharing Jesus and I watch some of your videos
So awesome👍👍😂😂🩷
I have heard so many stories, and ond from a person i know, that we are given a choice and pressured into coming back to the earth because we are all batteries to these forces. Ive also heard that the light is dangerous, not go into the light, but turn around and go into the universe. Interesting stuff
The dude on the left wasn't interested in the message
My uncle claims to be Christian. He believes he is living his 11th life he is also gay. Basically anything in the Bible he doesn't agree with has been corrupted. The things he does agree with... those things are trustworthy. His "Christianity" is what I like to call "salad bar" Christianity. Cherry picking the scriptures in a way that allows the person to live however they want and serve a god of their liking.
If we don’t know about the day and time what do we actually know. Because the Bible has been interpreted so many ways and everybody wants to argue about their interpretation. All I know Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior he died on the cross for my sins. I believe in the father of the most high, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit.
It is appointed to man once to die. After that the judgement. This is what the Bible tells us.
