    I love how raw these testimonies are man. Most testimonies are short with encouraging music but these are real, and you’re giving people an outlet. And John seems like such a nice dude man he’s awesome .

      Thank you Steven! You’re right on target. Our goal is to give people a space in which they can be transparent and honest without feeling rushed in order to show a full picture of what someone has been through. We obviously won’t be able to get their entire testimony, but at least we’re giving more room than what has usually been allowed on camera.
      Thank you again for watching and commenting! Truly appreciate it 🙏

    I'm so sorry for your loss, my condolences and prayers go out to you. Stage 3 cervical cancer took my wife on 4-6-22 after 13 months of fighting it. I feel the way you feel on mostly everything. As of now I know she's not here anymore but my mind, heart, and soul won't allow me to accept it. I'm spiraling out of control completely, I know that. But the pain of my wife not being here is too much to handle, it's hard to make it through the hour let alone a day. The last time I seen my baby was on the 5th the day before. She was completely incoherent. I hugged her leg, hugged her, kissed her cheek and lips, ran my fingers through her hair, I held her hand and told her I loved her always. Seeing her that way broke me shattered my soul and destroyed me. I'm not doing this without you babe I LOVE YOU I NEED YOU I MISS YOU BABY. Thanks for letting me share, again my condolences to everyone who's lost someone.

      The Lord Jesus sends the Comforter . His Word says He is near to the broken hearted and to those with a contrite heart. I know how hard it is . I had to bury the body of my daughter from a car accident. I thought the pain in my heart and soul would kill me but the Lord helped me thru it. At the time there were others who had lost loved ones and when they told me that the pain would get lesser with time - i didnt believe them . But after a few years it did . There is a cycle of building up pain as you think of your loved one - each memory is a painful reminder that theyre not here anymore. As the pain builds up until you breakdown and pour out the tears you will find that you can last longer and longer between the breakdowns. It has been over 10 years and my heart is healed but the twinge of pain still brings tears to my eyes every now and again. The pain is way less now that ive heard from those who came back alive after they clinically died and visited heaven . The book " My Glimpse of Eternity " by Betty Malz and many testimonials on yt @ Randy Kay Ministries have really given me joy knowing what is going on in the heavenlies where my loved ones have gone. ( my mother , father and two nephews have passed away since 2015) I pray you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour so you can be saved and comforted thru this very rough time. He is the Way. He loves you. I will be praying for you.

    Thank you so very much Delafé Testamonies for uploading videos. I'm 18, from South Africa. I've been following your youtube and tiktok since the first video you uploaded. Coming to these testimonies motivates me on my walk with Christ. It reminds me to not give up and most importantly that God is REAL. I have been a christian all my life but have never come across spirit filled testamonies or church. I've moved from a Catholic church to a non-denominational church looking for that and unfortunately did not find it. My walk , with Christ, this far has been quite lonely (and the pandemic did not make it easier), but l choose to be joyful because I know a living God is with me in those moments that I feel alone. I look forward to your videos every week. And thank you once again.

I personally battle every week with a lack of motivation to post and edit the testimonies, but God continues to push me and encourage me through people like you. I trust and believe your breakthrough is coming!! You'll begin to receive new fresh encounters through the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray God surrounds you with a loving community that will love you and challenge you to go deeper in your relationship with God. He's already preparing you!! Continue to be joyful because it's contagious and you've brought joy to my life today. Thank you again for watching and supporting the channel!

    My beloved wife also passed because of cancer back in 2011
    She suffered a stroke that left her paralyzed before she passed and one day, as I was taking care of her at the hospital , I wept because I didn’t want her to leave my side but I didn’t want to see her on that condition either
    I told The LORD Jesus Christ that no matter what he decided to do with her, I would still follow him until the end of my days on this earth
    Days later she passed and today at almost 12 years of her passing , regardless of my many mistakes and have grieved The Holy Spirit with my sins and stupid decisions, I am still fighting the good fight
    The LORD Jesus Christ bless you all

I can say my walk to God now is stagnant... it's my desire to know God deeper but it just stagnant I don't know why...

    My heart is breaking listening to your testimony and I’m not even 7 minutes in yet. 😢 my condolences as well for your loss. I know God is walking with you and I appreciate you opening up and sharing what he has done in your life. Loss is never easy. I didn’t lose anything to death but there have been times in my life where I have pretty much lost everything. I’m a loner too. It became more intense for me because I also had so many questions of why me? I think I stagnated my own healing and growth because for the longest time I think I blamed God for my misfortune. I’m still really hurting right now but I don’t blame God anymore.

    • @emilieeshelman1508
      @emilieeshelman1508 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The gospel of salvation is believing that Jesus came to earth, died for our sins, and rose again 3 day later. That we might live with Him in eternity. It has nothing to do with church...just a relationship, a friendship with your creator who loves you and will show up for you. If you feel "lost" ask God to reveal himself to you. To come along side you and show you the truth of who he is. There is only sin that is unforgivable... according to the Bible, blasphemy against the holy spirit. Just ask God to forgive you, to walk and lead you, and to strengthen your faith. Blessing to you!

      @@emilieeshelman1508 Amen re no need for attending a church! I am a saved believer in Jesus Christ and I have studied the Bible, especially Paul’s epistles, for many years. I only found out recently that Gentiles such as we - and actually everyone today whether they think they’re “Jews” or not - were not even called to receive salvation until the Barbarian/Scythian Gentiles in Ephesus and Colossae were saved by grace and became a pattern for the grace by which we are saved today! That means that we can’t even find ourselves in the scriptures until Paul’s letters to the Ephesians and Colossians! And even those letters have only a section of them speaking of our Gentile salvation; when Paul speaks of “we” and “us” and “our” in all of his Acts letters, he is referring to the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks that first trusted Christ when Paul was sent to preach the gospel of, first “God” and then “Christ,” to them in the synagogue. I had been under the mistaken idea that the “Greeks” were run-of-the-mill Gentiles, but they actually were a special class of Gentile that was eligible to be blessed with Israel under the OT covenants of promise because they had blessed Israel in some way and were welcome in the Jewish synagogues. Everything Paul and the 12 wrote to those believers is not to be applied to us, who at the time were still “strangers from the covenants of promise”! That’s why those early instructions and ordinances that Paul put those Jews and Greeks under are not compatible with the pure grace that is “the gift of God” by faith, not by works, of the Ephesians letter. (Paul refers to the Acts period believers as “saints” [Jews]; the Greeks as “God-fearing Gentiles [not us], and we regular Gentiles of then and now as “the faithful in Christ Jesus.”). The dirty dog Gentiles never had a relationship with God so we were not the ones that broke God’s heart - that was his wayward bride Israel! So, because he didn’t formerly have any dealings with us, he was now free to offer us a grace salvation with no strings attached (like baptism, not eating bloody meat, keeping feast days, etc.)! So, this is epic because I doubt there were any theologians anywhere in history that saw this distinction and they don’t want to see it because it isn’t concussive to bringing people under control and in fear! Israel lost her kingdom (because it was them that committed that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit by stoning Stephen and declaring that the miracles of the disciples were done by the power of Beelzebub and their final rejection of Paul’s offer of their kingdom in Acts 28) so there are no real Jews now because we’re all Gentiles in God’s eyes! So you are right that God is offering everyone the free gift of Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV but there is no unforgivable sin today because God is completely gracious to those that will trust his Son and gives us eternal security in Christ. We’re kind of like the less loved daughter that is suddenly favored over the ungrateful beautiful daughter that refused to love her father! There is no sin we can ever commit that would cause God to stop loving us! God is silent and waiting for the day his Son shall appear and then we will appear with him in glory, but until then we are given no signs, no miracles, and no answers to our prayers although we have the Holy Spirit to lead us, guide us, and comfort us until that day! So NDEs and the like are from Satan; believe me, I’ve been there and it was realizing it is demons that led me to seek God’s truth! If you want to learn more about where we are right now in scripture and why Israel is defunct forever (although those that had faith in God/Jesus Christ will of course be saved), this YT channel is where to get info: th-cam.com/channels/TBeQURiRUoThwDfilD4i0A.html
