Aug. 1st 2004, God lead me to His son Jesus, with a beam of light. I was sitting in a jail cell, again, for drugs, again, but this time I had messed up good, I was in the subfloor of rock bottom's basement. I had cars, homes, boats, motorcycles, lovely wife great job...& lost it all, because of my addiction to drugs. I had been to church on & off as a kid, but mostly off. I was arrested for drugs, while on probation for drugs. After a few months being in county jail one evening a little old Independant Baptist Pastor came to preach at the county jail, he pointed out truths from the Word of God like no one I had ever seen & heard preach, but when it came time to come forward, I didn't. Later that night when the lights went out, I was still reading the Bible & I got bummed, but I noticed a small beam of light that came through a little window in the door in the cell pod I was in that I used to keep reading & not long after in that dark night I trusted Jesus Christ as my savior & I haven't been the same since. I serve Christ in my church in my home, even online, like right now, I have been & will continue to live drug free until I pass away. I am blessed with a great church home & church family as well as a home where I care for my elderly mother & other family, there's a small & honest income. Five of my family members, that have or still do live in my home, including my son, my sister & her 9 yr old grandson. They all got saved because they could see that I am a changed person that I'm not the same man that I use to be & that I have true joy in my life from my relationship with Jesus Christ & they wanted that too. God has & continues to provide me with the right people & things & the places I & my family need to be to serve him for just like Joshua, me & my house, we will serve the LORD. THANK YOU JESUS!
My name is Renee, and I was raised into the Catholic church. As with many young adults, I have strayed away and began forming to the world and its evil works. During this time, I was facing many life challenges and even faced a battle with depression and anxiety. It was then that I realized I must find my way back to God. I began seeking help for my depression and I began seeking the Lord, I returned to church and even joined bible study groups. Over time, I was healed and slowly returned to the ways of this world. Although I did not suffer from depression and/or anxiety, I found that my relationships were not healthy. Relationships of work, personal and friendships. Without God fully in my life, it seemed that I was unable to live fruitfully.
I am now in my midlife and have been with the lord for a few years now, steadily, faithfully, humbly. I want to share that my life is so much more peaceful, relationships are better, life is better. My heart is pure, my soul is pure, my spirit is pure. I face life challenges as we all do, but our savior Jesus Christ in my life, challenges are easier to face because I now know that I am not facing them alone. I am stronger, wiser and guarded by our Lord Jesus. I have a church home and family and pray every day and throughout my day. I make sure to read my bible so that I may learn the Lord and grow closer to him. My life is better with God as my lead. I encourage anyone who does not have God in their life, to please let him so that you may live a fruitful life and have a blessed after life.
I would like to praise the Lord God and Jesus Christ of Nazareth, for keeping me sane in all trials I have been facing since 2021. God connected me with the right people to reach out to for counselling when I couldn't stand ,somedays, due to emotional pain of watching my business collapse in December 2021, losing all my investment capital.
Thank you Lord for a husband who keeps providing for our family, while I have no income. Thank you Lord for healthy children that love you. Thank you Lord for all the lessons I have learned since 2021, I thought I knew you Lord, until I lost everything, but still you did not cast me away, instead your grace sustained me since then to this day.
Thank you Lord that my season of trials is coming to an end in 2023 and that my relationship with you God has become better, deeper and stronger throughout.Thank you for wisdom and boldness you have given me throughout this trying time.I have learned to stand up for myself (and others)during this process and speak for myself (and others) against injustice and unfairness, with boldness, knowing that I have no money, power or earthly connections to back me up, but only your Holly Spirit and your Word(Bible) to guide me and be my witness. I'm wholly dependent on you Lord and I feel safe more than ever, Amen.
Thank you all for your prayers! God is so good!!! My gums and teeth are completely healed with no pain as well! Thank you all again for your prayers, and may God bless you!
An ex husband was abusive. I prayed hard for 9 years that the hurting will stop. One day, I came home and he had a kitchen knife , threatening to end my life, with no fault of my own. He's diagnosed from the USN with mental health issues with medications to take forever to calm him. I took my Bible and pressed it on him while saying , " In the Name of Jesus, Satan, get out of my husband", after I said this several times, he passed out and lost consciousness. Thank you Lord for your protection. I filed a restraining order against this man and was divorced a year later.
I'm 15 years old and I'm at a great point in my life. I'm currently attending a private Christian boarding school. I'm on track to graduate high school early and either join the United States Marine Corps or United States Navy and become a Navy SEAL. There's a beautiful girl I plan to marry when I'm older.
Truth be told, I have very strong Christian faith and devotion and a great relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior, but I used to struggle with faith all the time when I was younger, but I met two amazing women who led me to Christ, and I owe these women my life. I thank God for them every day.
Please pray for my friend Carrie's son he was found at KU in the bathroom on conscience bumped his head hes in the hospital and please pray for healing miracle
Khalid Mansoor Soomro is from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. He was an ardent follower of Muhammad until he decided to put a challenge to some Christian students at his school. This dramatic testimony tells the first-person perspective of how a Muslim convert came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Khalid's Story
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." ( Mark 16:15, NKJV)
I belong to a Muslim family. When I was 14 years old, I was studying in a convent school in Pakistan. My parents had forced me to learn the Qur'an by heart when I was seven, and so I did. I had a lot of Christian fellows (or acquaintances) at school and was surprised to see them studying because I had always found Christians to be of a low profile in the society.
I discussed and argued a lot with them about the accuracy of the Qur'an and rejection of the Bible by Allah in the Holy Qur'an. I wanted to force them to accept Islam. Often my Christian teacher told me not to do so. He said, "God may choose you as he chose the Apostle Paulus." I asked him to explain who Paulus was because I knew Muhammad only.
A Challenge
One day I challenged the Christians, suggesting that we each burn the other's Holy book. They should burn the Qur'an, and I should do the same with the Bible. We agreed: "The book which would burn, would be false. The book which would not burn would have the truth. God himself would save his Word."
The Christians were frightened by the challenge. Living in an Islamic country and doing such a thing could lead them to face the law and meet its consequences. I told them I would do it by myself.
With them watching, first, I set the Qur'an on fire, and it burned before our eyes. Then I attempted to do the same with the Bible. As soon as I tried, the Bible struck my chest, and I fell to the ground. Smoke surrounded my body. I was burning, not physically, but from a spiritual fire. Then suddenly I saw a man with golden hai
I was born again at 8 years old. My mother taught me the Word of God. My understanding was opened up by the Lord. I prayed through to Salvation and was baptized in the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. (Act2:4) I did not have disciples ship after this encounter. My parents were in and out of church. I made a lot of mistakes and I was in and out of church. In 2017 I began to studying the four Gospels. I fell in love with the Bible and most of all Jesus. I read the whole Bible and used a commentary for harder things to understand. He consumed my life and I have not been the same. A Orphan spirit was broken off my life and I realized I a child of God. I have no longer been in and out of church. I have been called into the ministry. My parents are back serving the Lord and he is moving in their lives. I give Jesus Christ Yeshua all the glory!!
Well 1st I want to say God is sooo good! He does work all things for our good and his Glory!
I can gratefully say after years of smoking cigarettes and addiction to Opioids God has delivered me from both in the same year!
I've made many many mistakes on my life.... sexual immorality, drug use, smoking, cussing, even thought I was hearing from angels... wow Was I wrong! Nope it was demons acting as such! Before I realized that I got into new age stuff that didnt know was witchcraft and was in that for about 5 years. Crystal's, giving messages, sage, ouija board once, chakra and reiki work, angel cards.. you name it I tried it...
As of right now I am dealing with the aftermath of my horrible poor choices but I also see alot of good that has come out of it. Both my husband and I are walking with Lord Jesus and this situation has made us hold on to him even tighter!
See I didn't realize that when I was channeling what I thought was spirits ... I invited demons in me.... I currently feel them moving and even see them in my reflection in my eyes and smell them also... I have lots of paranormal movement in my house still.
I have been thru 8 deliverances so far and will be attending another one on Saturday and then the following Thursday.
I used to be very afraid of what I would see or the thoughts and voices etc.
Now I am standing in my faith and learning more and more every day how to do that.
However I KNOW that the Good Lord is helping me and thru this my husband and I can help others!
I post this to testify to God goodness... he has sustained me and my husband thru this... thank you Jesus
Its also important to KNOW THE WORD! please anyone that's reading this KNOW that it IS REAL! you have to be very careful what you get into...
I stopped absolutely everything I ever used to do... no music or tv or immorality, no cussing, no drugs, no smoking, cut out all movies and the list continues. I believe 1000 percent God will
I would like to write this, so that I may remain anonymous - but at the same time - share what Jesus has done for me. Please bare with me.
I was raised a catholic. I enjoyed the structure, tradition and taught prayer of the church. I felt a closeness to God as a youth, that went away in adulthood. I married, and it was terrible. They were a non believer. I sinned. I failed as a husband, father and catholic. Divorced, I felt I was damaged and no longer capable of being religious in the old way I thought about things.
Ive prayed all my life, attended church (more in my youth) but had never read the Bible. Ive remarried and have a fantastic wife and our children are great, but I could not find a relationship with God the way I previously thought I knew how.
3 years and 2 months ago, I was going through a terrible time personally - and a friend who is a former catholic now christian, told me to read the Bible; open my heart, just try it.
I did. First in the basement, I felt almost embarrassed. A few pages, here, there. Then my prayers were changing, then I was reading every day, then I was reading in the main floor of our house. Every day, regardless of work or being home or on vacation.
I was addicted to many sins without realizing it, and one by one they fell off and there was no craving to repeat. I had terrible anxiety and regular panic attacks.
3 plus years later, I pray at least twice a day; I read from the Bible every day, and have read it cover to cover/made notes and highlights over 6 times. We say grace before our family dinner every night. I try to make examples to the kids about good and bad, based on my readings from the Bible. When I speak to friends and sometimes strangers, I feel the need to tell them what the Bible and Jesus have done for me.
I carry no anger in my heart.
I do not deserve the grace, mercy, light, love or peace that God has extended me - but I thank him every day for it with my prayers, studying and unending loyalty and love.
What a blessing it is to be God's ambassadors to have the ministry of reconciliation with the responsibility of reconciling the world to Jesus Christ. Heavenlt Father help us on this great mission!
I was a sheltered Pastor's and stronger Christian woman's son, and I was taught right and wrong. As I always stated (and for those who are TRUE CHRISTIANS) I knew that I had to find God for myself. I was saved on Friday, June 18, 1976. I survived a one car accident. I learned that one of my classmates didn't survive, his accident. As I grew, I learned to listen to the Holy Spirit, ask for forgiveness when I made mistakes and Thanked GOD, for Blessing me, even when I didn't deserve it. I accepted my call to the Ministry on Sunday, January 15, 2017. One of the mistakes that I made, was to marry a woman, who knew that Dad was a Baptist Pastor, but enjoyed being his only daughter-in-law, because Dad had two sons-in-law. Because of his favoring my wife, she felt that I didn't matter. After I was ordained as a Baptist Deacon (which made her a Deaconess), she resented the attention that I received as a Deacon. Her resentment for me, lead me end this marriage. Then on October 3, 2009, I married my Soul Mate and after being married 7 years, I accepted my call to preach the Gospel. I learned then that my wife completed me. I Thank GOD for her and for giving me the opportunity to work in His Vineyard.
After 16 years of wandering alone, I am sure I have finally found a way, a way to be free from fear and anxiety. I am no longer prone to self-denial and self-criticism. I no longer care so much about other people's opinions. God fills my heart with hope and strength, God will understand me, and God is with me. I am devouring the Bible now, and I regret that I did not understand the guidance God gave me sooner. I hope there is still time. May God always guide me.
Hey this is Kobe I grew up in the hood. I never had a real good life until I found out about God. I know Ya'll might think this is dumb, but I feel like I need to let people know this. I grew up watching and experiencing a lot of things people shouldn't have to experience I am not trying to throw myself a pity party. Not until a few weeks ago I wandered and fought that God exist because I always told myself if God is so good how could he let bad things happen to good people but I just want everyone to know God still provides and he still answers prayers well that's all I had to say goodbye until next time.
I like to fist of all do the most honorable thing of all and that thing one can do is say Thank You LORD Almighty GOD JESUS CHRIST,so Thank You LORD
For had it not been for GOD grace and mercy, I would not have the pleasure of writing this morning, yes He has cary me for over eight years and five months now, cause should one percent of the blessing I received in the past three years had been done in Sodom Gomorrah they would have repent and we would be able to fly there today and do the most honorable thing one can do that is to say Thank YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST
One Saturday about 4 months ago Jesus came to my house, I didn't see him but we had a long conversation. I had received a message from First Free Church saying to take 30 seconds and pray for a better understanding when reading the word of GOD and I did. I started listening to the Bible through my hearing aids, and I had family over which kept interrupting me so I separated myself into the Garage. I started with the book of Revelation and then the New Testament, as it was playing
Jesus told me it was time to make a choice, laid out for me the cost, persecuted, beaten jailed even unto death. I said I was willing he told me to awaken the churches, then he told me he was going to sit at the right hand of the Father. I have been reading his word going to church and trying to figure out GOD's plan to awaken the churches. It is important that it be his will and not mine because the potential for harm is there.
Please pray for this to happen and for me that I do his will on earth as it is in Heaven.
To GOD alone be the Glory Honor and Power forever. Amen
Thanks to God in Heaven and thanks only to Him . After twenty years my prayer has been answered . I wish I could say that I waited patiently for God to answer but that would be a lie . I was not patient . While I waited for His answer I was ridiculed , thought to be a liar , no one believed me , people thought badly of me . Now I have my answer and it's not as sweet as the realisation that has come with it . Through out those twenty years , God and God alone has taken care of me in a million different ways . He kept me sane , alive , warm dry fed and cheerful . He has taught me patience ,and to trust Him always . I still have a lot to learn but I thank God for His lessons . I realise that to be His is to trust Him , at all times but especially in the dark times , He was right there with me . I was just to wrapped up in myself to recognise Him . So , I have my answer which is lovely but , not as lovely as knowing that He sorted everything out for me while I was waiting . Brothers and sisters , know for sure , that He is with you every second , His love will sustain you through everything and all things can be and should be endured because He is with you , and maybe , just maybe He is trying to teach you something ? Trust , faith , patience and love . Life is a constant lesson , allow Him to teach you and don't fear the lesson , He will teach you in the loving way every good parent teaches their child . Be His child , allow Him to be your parent .
First time going public with this.. It was on 11/2/22 that the Lord removed the heart of stone form me and placed a fleshy one in. Since 1986, I was a practitioner of traditional witchcraft and ancestral paganism. I was known internationally through my podcasts and appearances on hundreds of YT channels and podcasts. On 11/1/22, I had a compelling urge to pray to a God that I had been at war with since I was 9 to ask for His help with my daughters as I am a single father of two girls. Within a minute, He answered. It was like this voice within me said " take them to church". Without analyzing what I felt, I immediately complied.
24hrs later, I said to myself that if I am going to make this sacrifice for my daughters and walk into enemy territory then I need to prepare myself by listening to sermons. I came across this sermon by a well known pastor and he said " there are many who study the bible for years to use it as a telescope to argue and debate but I ask you, when was the last time you let the bible study you and be a mirror?" I broke and this consuming feeling overtook me that I could not fight and a transformation was happening within me that I have never experienced before. It was God's irresistible grace that I could not fight and the transformation within was He removing that heart of stone and putting in a fleshy one. I immediately gave my life over to him and repented for all my sins and the lives I have destroyed over the decades.
So I am no longer the enemy but a Brother In Christ.. I am no longer and enemy of God but a Soldier In His Army.
Such a powerful verse. It was on 11/2/22 that God chose me and removed the heart of stone from me and placed a fleshy one in. I was one of many wolves that attacked the flock for decades and now He has called me to become a sheep dog. In all, I see it as God performing a miracle as I never would have entertained the idea of being a Christian yet I am so grateful.
I have a long testimony, so I'm going to leave out many, many, details for time's sake.
Demonic possession led me to cry out to God, and He delivered me and I repented that day and gave my life to Christ.
I have a history of practicing witchcraft, satanism, and the New Age. I used to study anything on occultism and "ghosts." Anything seemingly supernatural. I practiced meditation, sought psychics, used crystals, practiced LOA, communicated with what I thought at the time were angels. All kinds of things.
The time during my possession was horrific, terrifying, awful, and traumatic. And those words don't even truly explain what it was like.
The day I was delivered, I prayed and cried out to God and asked for His help and for the Holy Spirit. I literally felt the demon leave my body (I had also felt it enter).
I repented for my sins that day, gave my life to Christ, and devoted hours and hours to reading the Bible. I've shared my testimony publicly several times, and I share the gospel every opportunity I have. My life is lived for God now. And I am so thankful for His grace and mercy and what Jesus has done for us. Truly, we are blessed.
I came to saving faith in Jesus Christ on March 4th 1995.After thirteen years of alcohol and drug abuse which started in my early teens I got to a place where that lifestyle wasn't fun anymore.I never held a job, bummed off people.Many believers and preachers in my family tried to witness to me.I would listen but never was interested in knowing about Jesus even though I was headed for Hell.I can attest of many times Satan tried to take my life as a sinner but God had other plans.One night my preacher Uncle told me he was holding a revival and invited me.all that day I thought about it.i was invited to a party that night also.Something in me prompted me to go to the revival.I sat each night telling myself I wasn't going to go back after first night. On the fourth night of this revival at the altar call I headed to the altar but made it only to the front pew as I fell to my knees and cried to God for forgiveness.He saved my, baptized me in thr Holy Ghost a month later.I was water baptized four years later.I have since been involved in various aspects of ministry mostly outreach and street preaching.
When I was a child, I was always told about God and Jesus. I never really knew much about them except that they were the good guys and the devil was the bad guy. That's really all I knew until I was a preteen. I was told by my grandmother to pray to them often, especially when I was in any sort of trouble. Well as I got a bit older, I was in Jr High and I began to suffer from anxiety. Now mind you, I was a kid. I had no idea what it actually was that I was facing, I thought of myself as weird for thinking the things that I was because no one ever talked about it. After many months of dealing with it, missing school because I was pretending to be sick so I could lay in bed, and really struggling in my academics and relationships, I began to pray about it. Now when I did this, no medicine nor therapy in the world could ever give me the sense of peace that I had, whenever I prayed. I felt like someone understood me, like they had my back no matter what. Still, it took a lot of time and years to truly know The Lord. It didn't happen overnight, but He saved me from suicide, He saved me from so much pain and heartache I can't even describe it. Now, because of all that, I know more than anything else in the world, that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I never found peace of mind, heart and soul like I did when I came to Him with my problems. He loves us and He's waiting for us to realize we can't do things in our own power. We need Christ in our lives.
I was a practicing Satanist, devil worshipper, and idolater turned Christian. I am coming out as a witness and have recently come out of and was heavily involved in the New age movement (higher self meditations), occultism, various types of meditations, self-styled Satanism, psychic third eye abilities, summoning and calling up different "spirit guides" ie fallen angels of Lucifer and giving offerings to other idols to obtain Satanic knowledge favors and power through these practices. This was all done in secret. All these things mentioned above and many other practices are a trick of Satan and his demons and their false religions he's established to get you to defile yourself (hooked into him through your sin) like the Bible says.
And guys, don't get me wrong, I knew what I was doing. I was knowingly using these powers and this knowledge to harm people spiritually and to trick people into thinking that these practices these occultic things, these New age beliefs ("higher self power") are okay and being part of spreading these false doctrines on purpose instead of the truth of the Bible. Any occult subject or New age subject to talk about and entice people with was game.. among many other sins.. sin is sin and sin is death like the Bible says. Satan knows the Bible too, And Satan protected me and blessed me while doing these things and operating using this knowledge against people for being a loyal servant to his kingdom. But I was even more dangerous because I knew the ways of God and what Jesus commands us to do and what he says in that gospel and that he looks at all these things as sin but I went against it anyway for the feeling of power, and the pride that comes with it - and I was ruthlessly evil in doing so. And pride is what got Lucifer tossed out of heaven.
"4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads."
I've squandered the last few years speedily absorbing anything and everything in a never ending research in global events - studying all things Jewish - and studying Christianity, attempting to understand what's happening in the world, by whom, why, and what it means - or what I should do.
I know for multiple reasons, there is simply not enough time to come even close to one full reading of the New Testament. If the world doesn't implode, well my health is... quite bad, which i've come to terms with. Life always being overrated imo, yet I have found comfort in Christs words, though remaining conflicted & confused. I know Revelations warns twice not to be deceived I'm hopelessly deceivedconfused.
I'm aware of the "mark of the beast" branded either in the forehead, or the right hand. That being said, I've on occasion heard, or read snippets of something of this above line, Christ's people who reject the mark of the beast, six hundred and sixty six, no buying, selling, being beheaded, and em, much unpleasantries of Tribulation (The general idea of it anyway), but what can you tell me of a mark that followers of Jesus Christ, faithfully, are supposed to haveget?
One other please, I'm familiar with the names, "Lucifer Lightbringer" & "Lucifer Morningstar" and reading an insinuation that Jesus is Lucifer from a randomly encountered commentary bringing me here:
"16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
Reading it... didn't dispel their claim. Can this be a translation confusion from Greek to English, or am I just a total idiot? Why is Jesus saying he is the "Bright" (Lightbringer?) and "Morning star" (Lucifer Morningstar?!)
Not even sure if this'll get read, but apologies for the foolish questions. I have a million more, but if anyone responds to these two, thank you.
I am sitting on my bed early morning THANKING GOD and being AMAZED that because of His great mercy I NO LONGER smoke cigarettes!
Cigarettes are more than a bad habit. They are one of the devils "tools". They steal, kill, and destroy. But there is freedom in Christ.
This was a major bondage in my life. The BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST destroyed that yoke! I have been loosed of it, 16 months ago. PRAISE THE LORD! This was a major prayer answered. I couldn't/wouldn't have done it on my own.
When I get a craving I just start praising God. And the craving leaves. (Thank You Lord)
Hallelujah.and glory to God in the highest. So much good has come to my life just from quitting cigarettes.
If you're struggling with an addiction to _________, ask God to make you HATE that thing. He will do it!
I have found God to be faithful, when I am not. To be a merciful loving Father, Savior, Deliverer, Healer, Friend, and so much more!
WOW..so this is what "America the Free" should feel like.! From age 2-38 I was abused in Everyway & allowed that to run/rune my life. Thinking I was Christian cuz I was raised that way or because I went to church. Then, In 2021 God showed me true Love, Peace & Freedom from my past that was dragging me way down, to near suicide, a few times. I have since apalajized to my kids for bringing my baggage over the yrs raising them (single) with anger, spitefulness & being vengeful at times. Tho we went to church so God's hand was w/them. Thank you Lord! Which lead me to think, IF I had Read, Studied & Learned His word, instead of listening to others tell me what the bible says, I could have reached this point way sooner. Then the meaning & depth of the words, "It's all in His time for His glory", came to mean so much. So in letting go of said baggage & finally Loving Him w/all my being & helping others in need (even when I was homeless) how free I truly have become thanks be to God.! I no longer stress over what's going on in the world, tho I disagree w/pertnear everything, I pray anytime I see things or hear sirens even. I talk to ppl (before you couldn't get me to, to save my own life) daily about believing in their heart He is the ONLY way truth & life.! Loving God w/all our being (heart, soul, mind & strength) & our neighbor as yourself (anyone in need), again I say WOW, the peace that passes ALL understanding was with me always, right at the top of my nose. Then reading all the prayers & responses in here it hit me even harder..how we have to work together to make the world great again. Not just America.! Love GOD & EVERYONE in need with ALL our being.! Amen, Amen& Amen
I am now in my midlife and have been with the lord for a few years now, steadily, faithfully, humbly. I want to share that my life is so much more peaceful, relationships are better, life is better. My heart is pure, my soul is pure, my spirit is pure. I face life challenges as we all do, but our savior Jesus Christ in my life, challenges are easier to face because I now know that I am not facing them alone. I am stronger, wiser and guarded by our Lord Jesus. I have a church home and family and pray every day and throughout my day. I make sure to read my bible so that I may learn the Lord and grow closer to him. My life is better with God as my lead. I encourage anyone who does not have God in their life, to please let him so that you may live a fruitful life and have a blessed after life.
Love,
Renee Wiggins
Thank you Lord for a husband who keeps providing for our family, while I have no income. Thank you Lord for healthy children that love you. Thank you Lord for all the lessons I have learned since 2021, I thought I knew you Lord, until I lost everything, but still you did not cast me away, instead your grace sustained me since then to this day.
Thank you Lord that my season of trials is coming to an end in 2023 and that my relationship with you God has become better, deeper and stronger throughout.Thank you for wisdom and boldness you have given me throughout this trying time.I have learned to stand up for myself (and others)during this process and speak for myself (and others) against injustice and unfairness, with boldness, knowing that I have no money, power or earthly connections to back me up, but only your Holly Spirit and your Word(Bible) to guide me and be my witness. I'm wholly dependent on you Lord and I feel safe more than ever, Amen.
Truth be told, I have very strong Christian faith and devotion and a great relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior, but I used to struggle with faith all the time when I was younger, but I met two amazing women who led me to Christ, and I owe these women my life. I thank God for them every day.
Thank you, Ms. Bonita and Ms. Renae

The Christians were frightened by the challenge. Living in an Islamic country and doing such a thing could lead them to face the law and meet its consequences. I told them I would do it by myself.
With them watching, first, I set the Qur'an on fire, and it burned before our eyes. Then I attempted to do the same with the Bible. As soon as I tried, the Bible struck my chest, and I fell to the ground. Smoke surrounded my body. I was burning, not physically, but from a spiritual fire. Then suddenly I saw a man with golden hai
Well 1st I want to say God is sooo good! He does work all things for our good and his Glory!
I can gratefully say after years of smoking cigarettes and addiction to Opioids God has delivered me from both in the same year!
I've made many many mistakes on my life.... sexual immorality, drug use, smoking, cussing, even thought I was hearing from angels... wow Was I wrong! Nope it was demons acting as such! Before I realized that I got into new age stuff that didnt know was witchcraft and was in that for about 5 years. Crystal's, giving messages, sage, ouija board once, chakra and reiki work, angel cards.. you name it I tried it...
As of right now I am dealing with the aftermath of my horrible poor choices but I also see alot of good that has come out of it. Both my husband and I are walking with Lord Jesus and this situation has made us hold on to him even tighter!
See I didn't realize that when I was channeling what I thought was spirits ... I invited demons in me.... I currently feel them moving and even see them in my reflection in my eyes and smell them also... I have lots of paranormal movement in my house still.
I have been thru 8 deliverances so far and will be attending another one on Saturday and then the following Thursday.
I used to be very afraid of what I would see or the thoughts and voices etc.
Now I am standing in my faith and learning more and more every day how to do that.
However I KNOW that the Good Lord is helping me and thru this my husband and I can help others!
I post this to testify to God goodness... he has sustained me and my husband thru this... thank you Jesus
Its also important to KNOW THE WORD! please anyone that's reading this KNOW that it IS REAL! you have to be very careful what you get into...
I stopped absolutely everything I ever used to do... no music or tv or immorality, no cussing, no drugs, no smoking, cut out all movies and the list continues. I believe 1000 percent God will
I was raised a catholic. I enjoyed the structure, tradition and taught prayer of the church. I felt a closeness to God as a youth, that went away in adulthood. I married, and it was terrible. They were a non believer. I sinned. I failed as a husband, father and catholic. Divorced, I felt I was damaged and no longer capable of being religious in the old way I thought about things.
Ive prayed all my life, attended church (more in my youth) but had never read the Bible. Ive remarried and have a fantastic wife and our children are great, but I could not find a relationship with God the way I previously thought I knew how.
3 years and 2 months ago, I was going through a terrible time personally - and a friend who is a former catholic now christian, told me to read the Bible; open my heart, just try it.
I did. First in the basement, I felt almost embarrassed. A few pages, here, there. Then my prayers were changing, then I was reading every day, then I was reading in the main floor of our house. Every day, regardless of work or being home or on vacation.
I was addicted to many sins without realizing it, and one by one they fell off and there was no craving to repeat. I had terrible anxiety and regular panic attacks.
3 plus years later, I pray at least twice a day; I read from the Bible every day, and have read it cover to cover/made notes and highlights over 6 times. We say grace before our family dinner every night. I try to make examples to the kids about good and bad, based on my readings from the Bible. When I speak to friends and sometimes strangers, I feel the need to tell them what the Bible and Jesus have done for me.
I carry no anger in my heart.
I do not deserve the grace, mercy, light, love or peace that God has extended me - but I thank him every day for it with my prayers, studying and unending loyalty and love.
Thank you!
Yours truly Kobe Southern
For had it not been for GOD grace and mercy, I would not have the pleasure of writing this morning, yes He has cary me for over eight years and five months now, cause should one percent of the blessing I received in the past three years had been done in Sodom Gomorrah they would have repent and we would be able to fly there today and do the most honorable thing one can do that is to say Thank YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST
Jesus told me it was time to make a choice, laid out for me the cost, persecuted, beaten jailed even unto death. I said I was willing he told me to awaken the churches, then he told me he was going to sit at the right hand of the Father. I have been reading his word going to church and trying to figure out GOD's plan to awaken the churches. It is important that it be his will and not mine because the potential for harm is there.
Please pray for this to happen and for me that I do his will on earth as it is in Heaven.
To GOD alone be the Glory Honor and Power forever. Amen
May Demar come to the realization that God spared him and so, may he live his life for Jesus from now on. Amen.
24hrs later, I said to myself that if I am going to make this sacrifice for my daughters and walk into enemy territory then I need to prepare myself by listening to sermons. I came across this sermon by a well known pastor and he said " there are many who study the bible for years to use it as a telescope to argue and debate but I ask you, when was the last time you let the bible study you and be a mirror?" I broke and this consuming feeling overtook me that I could not fight and a transformation was happening within me that I have never experienced before. It was God's irresistible grace that I could not fight and the transformation within was He removing that heart of stone and putting in a fleshy one. I immediately gave my life over to him and repented for all my sins and the lives I have destroyed over the decades.
So I am no longer the enemy but a Brother In Christ.. I am no longer and enemy of God but a Soldier In His Army.
Demonic possession led me to cry out to God, and He delivered me and I repented that day and gave my life to Christ.
I have a history of practicing witchcraft, satanism, and the New Age. I used to study anything on occultism and "ghosts." Anything seemingly supernatural. I practiced meditation, sought psychics, used crystals, practiced LOA, communicated with what I thought at the time were angels. All kinds of things.
The time during my possession was horrific, terrifying, awful, and traumatic. And those words don't even truly explain what it was like.
The day I was delivered, I prayed and cried out to God and asked for His help and for the Holy Spirit. I literally felt the demon leave my body (I had also felt it enter).
I repented for my sins that day, gave my life to Christ, and devoted hours and hours to reading the Bible. I've shared my testimony publicly several times, and I share the gospel every opportunity I have. My life is lived for God now. And I am so thankful for His grace and mercy and what Jesus has done for us. Truly, we are blessed.

I was a practicing Satanist, devil worshipper, and idolater turned Christian. I am coming out as a witness and have recently come out of and was heavily involved in the New age movement (higher self meditations), occultism, various types of meditations, self-styled Satanism, psychic third eye abilities, summoning and calling up different "spirit guides" ie fallen angels of Lucifer and giving offerings to other idols to obtain Satanic knowledge favors and power through these practices. This was all done in secret. All these things mentioned above and many other practices are a trick of Satan and his demons and their false religions he's established to get you to defile yourself (hooked into him through your sin) like the Bible says.
And guys, don't get me wrong, I knew what I was doing. I was knowingly using these powers and this knowledge to harm people spiritually and to trick people into thinking that these practices these occultic things, these New age beliefs ("higher self power") are okay and being part of spreading these false doctrines on purpose instead of the truth of the Bible. Any occult subject or New age subject to talk about and entice people with was game.. among many other sins.. sin is sin and sin is death like the Bible says. Satan knows the Bible too, And Satan protected me and blessed me while doing these things and operating using this knowledge against people for being a loyal servant to his kingdom. But I was even more dangerous because I knew the ways of God and what Jesus commands us to do and what he says in that gospel and that he looks at all these things as sin but I went against it anyway for the feeling of power, and the pride that comes with it - and I was ruthlessly evil in doing so. And pride is what got Lucifer tossed out of heaven.
I've squandered the last few years speedily absorbing anything and everything in a never ending research in global events - studying all things Jewish - and studying Christianity, attempting to understand what's happening in the world, by whom, why, and what it means - or what I should do.
I know for multiple reasons, there is simply not enough time to come even close to one full reading of the New Testament. If the world doesn't implode, well my health is... quite bad, which i've come to terms with. Life always being overrated imo, yet I have found comfort in Christs words, though remaining conflicted & confused. I know Revelations warns twice not to be deceived I'm hopelessly deceivedconfused.
I'm aware of the "mark of the beast" branded either in the forehead, or the right hand. That being said, I've on occasion heard, or read snippets of something of this above line, Christ's people who reject the mark of the beast, six hundred and sixty six, no buying, selling, being beheaded, and em, much unpleasantries of Tribulation (The general idea of it anyway), but what can you tell me of a mark that followers of Jesus Christ, faithfully, are supposed to haveget?
One other please, I'm familiar with the names, "Lucifer Lightbringer" & "Lucifer Morningstar" and reading an insinuation that Jesus is Lucifer from a randomly encountered commentary bringing me here:
"16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
Reading it... didn't dispel their claim. Can this be a translation confusion from Greek to English, or am I just a total idiot? Why is Jesus saying he is the "Bright" (Lightbringer?) and "Morning star" (Lucifer Morningstar?!)
Not even sure if this'll get read, but apologies for the foolish questions. I have a million more, but if anyone responds to these two, thank you.
Cigarettes are more than a bad habit. They are one of the devils "tools". They steal, kill, and destroy. But there is freedom in Christ.
This was a major bondage in my life. The BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST destroyed that yoke! I have been loosed of it, 16 months ago. PRAISE THE LORD! This was a major prayer answered. I couldn't/wouldn't have done it on my own.
When I get a craving I just start praising God. And the craving leaves. (Thank You Lord)
Hallelujah.and glory to God in the highest. So much good has come to my life just from quitting cigarettes.
If you're struggling with an addiction to _________, ask God to make you HATE that thing. He will do it!
I have found God to be faithful, when I am not. To be a merciful loving Father, Savior, Deliverer, Healer, Friend, and so much more!
I'm praying for you.
