  • 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!
  • If you're reading this, please pray for my friend Annie. She is a homeless, recovering addict. She has been through every type of pain you could imagine a person could go through. 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!!!
  • To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen

    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
  • 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.

    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 🙏
  • @MrJermainehall
    It’s amazing how this brother is not afraid to be emotional. The Holy Spirit is so heavy on him. I love it

    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’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.

    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 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..
  • 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
  • @daberechi1829
    Just look at him. He's totally restored for life. God's sweet little boy has returned to the waiting arms of God.
  • @Elijah-Bravo
    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”
  • 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 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....
  • 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!
  • @greghalter934
    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
  • @GoodKarma509
    I want Jesus in my life so bad, I've been a terrible person for the last 36 years of my worldly life. My name is jaime...can you pray for me? 😔
  • 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.
