Thank you for sharing, I woke up with severe brain damage from drinking, may God heal me and forgive me.
@woodpecker sings that sounds difficult. I will pray for you!
Hey Chris, if you’ve asked JESUS to … HE ALREADY HAS !!!
GOD BLESS YOU !!!
Praying for your healing to be full and complete.🤍
Hi Chris Jesus, forgives us don’t be afraid or listen to lies from the devil, or allow the enemy to guilt trip and condemn you,repentance is turning completely away from the world and sin and relying and leaning on and trusting Jesus this means being honest with him pouring out your heart repenting of the old stuff and asking him for help and everything every day, your body is sustained by God it’s like an impossible miracle to keep everyone just living breathing walking around He is the Lord of Life,God uses weaknesses and sickness to reach us because when we are strong and fit and healthy we are running around doing our thing forgetting God , Draw close to Him put Him first He is well able to heal you and deliver you from the hurts and pain that drove you to drink cast your cares on Him He loves you ❤
What transparency, you have a beautiful heart, I love how brutally honest you are, and I am still crying- to hear how cruelly you were treated, I'm so grateful for people like you who aren't afraid to share hard things they went through. I laughed and cried, may this testimony reach many people-we need it, and may the Lord richly bless you!
You’re not alone brother. Thank you for sharing your story.
I appreciate the encouragement brother.
I recognize a lot of myself in this testimony. Thanks for sharing Will.
Hey Will, Holy Spirit led me to THIS video of yours. I’m almost to the end of it and I absolutely HAD to pause to tell you I appreciate you and your story is Blessing me a lot !!! It’s a sweet kiss from our Heavenly Papa !!! I’m just smiling as you share about our JESUS Who is relentless in HIS LOVE for us !!!
BLESSINGS OVERFLOWING TO YOU !!!!!!!!! GRACE AND PEACE !!!!!
Hi Candice! God bless you! I'm happy to hear this video encouraged you. Your comment is also an encouragement to me! Praised be Jesus Christ!
Wow, what a great testimony! I too lived most of my younger years just lost, going along with the crowd, and became addicted to alcohol to the point I couldn't see my life without it. It was only when I surrendered to God that he freed me and I've been sober now for over 3 years.
I’m happy to hear that. It’s hard giving up alcohol or other substances at first, but eventually life becomes so much more enjoyable without them. You get to enjoy life as it truly is.
@@movingamountain I love being clear headed that's for sure. It can be boring at times not living life like it's just one big party, but we live in wicked times so I'd rather just keep to myself anyhow.
Just finished watching this powerful testimonial. How incredible is the forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Grace is the unearned forgiveness that is available only in Christ. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. II Corinthians 5:17
5 years sober here ❤ Wirchcraft to Jesus! Thank you for sharing I can relate 😭
Praise Yah! I pray that He blesses the new journey you are on with Him.
May the blessing of Christ Jesus, the Father and the HOLY SPIRIT continue to bless and keep you forevermore!
You have become an amazing young man. Your testimony will help so many lost young people. You must keep talking as much as possible about your story. God bless you. All the best.
Thank you for the encouragement. I hope that God uses my story as you say.
Ver inspiring, God bless you!
Praise to Jesus!! =)
Amen! Thank you! May God bless you too.
Thank you for your honest testimony. It’s bringing hope and light. I’m praying for deliverance from my addictions.
I will add you to my prayer list and pray for your deliverance too.
As I listened to the part where he had the dream and then he felt he was cleansed and forgiven i immediately thought of the story in Matthew 9:2-7 (the man that was sick of the palsy) I believe Jesus knew that this man needed to feel peace and forgiven of his sins, more than he needed to walk and that's why he forgive him before healing him. Jesus has the power to do both but better is to have that peace and certainty that we are forgiven and our names are in the book of life 🙏
Agreed! That's definitely the most important part.
Brave testimony. Thank you for sharing ♥️
Thank you for sharing brother ❤ All glory be to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, our Saviour Jesus Christ. I'm so happy and blessed to hear your testimony. It is a joy to know you are saved and to see your love for our Lord! 😊 Blessings 🙏
Thank you Josie! May God bless you. Praised be Jesus Christ!
Man.. Will, I feel like I know you.. I’ve been down the same roads as you and just recently got re-baptized because I had fallen so far.. you’re right and it’s ironic that you say it’s like being in a club being a Christian.. dude, I was just telling my brother this the other day! The Holy Spirit is moving!! I will say a special prayer for you tonight that this awesome testimony spreads like wild fire 🔥 for Our Precious Lord Jesus! 🥰🙏🏻 thank you for sharing how AWEsome our Trinity is!!!!
Thanks Susan! I'm happy to hear God changed your life too. Let's pray He does it for many others!
We serve a God that is sooo real. For those that don't know Him yet, Give your life to Jesus now! There is not much time left!
Thank you for an amazing testimony!
Amen!
Your Testimony helps me much to understand why some people act destructive an violent. If ever someone smashes my windshield or anything like that, i will surely pray for that person. I feel you as such a beautiful soul and it really touched me, that behind the mask of a violent and destructive acting person may be hidden a golden heart thats just mislead and deeply hurt. I'm so sorry to hear about you beeing bullied like this but so amazingly beautiful how by the grace of God everything was turned to gold.
God is so good. Thank you for this encouraging testimony!
Thankyou for being so courageous to share your story and God be with you always. God Bless.
May God bless you too.
Amazing testimony, brother!! I used to look to new age for help for my depression and addiction. Untill I asked God to please show me if He was real. And He did...He showed me Jesus Christ truly is the only way and Truth. I was shocked, but so happy. I got delivered from depression and suicidal thoughts and even addiction. Life is still a struggle, but now I have the King of Kings by my side🙌🙏😊
Amen! I'm happy for you! The hope we have knowing Jesus conquers all fears.
I've asked God to show me and change me but I feel nothing
Praise God!! I remember when I first had the realization that Jesus was real. It felt awesome. How did you feel?
It was amazing! I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Best thing that ever happened.
" He sets the enslaved free..." Indeed! Beautiful testimony. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your testimony.I was going on 3 years of sobriety an on my week of my anniversary I started to drink again ..I recently stop,It’s only been a week an 2 days an I need prayer
I as well was into drugs heavy drinking early in life an sexual immorality an pornography .I’m having to deal with the emotions an life i leaved know as a grow up.
Pleas keep me in prayer I stay in Colorado name is Sal.
Good for you for at least trying to stop these things. The beginning is tough, but it gets easier over time. I'll pray for you right now. Grace and peace.
@@movingamountain thank you for taking the time to keep me in prayer brother.
I’ll keep you in prayer as well 🙏🏼
how are you doing today? I hope well.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 1:7
The Lord delivered me from beer. Praise God ❤ God blessings for the truth.
Praise Yah. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!
GOD is sooo good!! Much love!!
Im writing a song and taking bits and pieces from testimonies. Thanks for sharing yours!
Cool. I’m hoping it gave you some good inspiration.
Amazing testimony brother! Thanks!
Such a poweful story. Im happy you turned to him hon and found that peace that only He is capable of giving. May He use you in an amazing way.
This is so good and you spoke just like I would speak about what Jesus has done in my life. You encouraged me to finish my testimony. I have been trying to perfect it but realize I just have to do it.
Yes, go for it!
Wow what a transformation brother. This has made my day. Glory to Jesus
JESUS bless you brother
Such Love!
I've heard that some believe in, that because You're the Son of Elohim,
You suffered less,
during Your distress.
But then, they completely forget,
that You're the Son of man, yet;
Which learned obedience through all Your sufferings,
but always without any sins!
Thank You, Lord, that during Your life down here, You stood against all kind of temptation,
to prepare a way for my salvation!
I'm so grateful for those precious Words in the garden of Gethsemane,
in the middle of Your agony ;
"Abba Father....not as I will, but as You will!"
Nobody took Your life, Lord,
but You gave it freely,
went through all the pain, scorn and slaughter,
because You love us dearly!
How can I ever comprehend such Love, which eternal life did bestow?!
All I can do, is believe and receive,
forever praise Your Name ; which
salvation for me became!
Amen. That’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Listening to you was very powerful.
Are you still alive?
My cousin was paralysed and I can't get over it. I'm a Christian and I'm angry with God.
God bless
Yes, I’m still alive and doing well. Being paralyzed is tough, but there is an opportunity in it with the right perspective. Even Messiah was crucified, but through that He redeemed the world and conquered death.
This testimony will almost certainly change lives, and make people think of God’s grace and forgiveness. God bless you.
Amen. That’s what I hope for.
thank you for sharing this amazing and powerful testimony! I’m so happy you were saved and freed from that old version of you! keep sharing your testimony it is so powerful!!!
Thanks for the encouragement. I’m happy to hear it was impactful for you.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing your testimony. It helps to hear how real HE is 🙏. Sometimes I don’t feel Him but continuously seek and pray and have many blessings in my life. Love and continued blessings to you ❤.
I’m glad it was helpful :)
I think the Lord has a lot more wonderful things for you. He said we will get back all the enemy has stole from you. I’m glad He saved you… and me too.
Amen. Thanks for the encouragement. I’m glad you were saved too.

Your testimony was amazing and it will help others. I was there. You should focus on teens that were you (us). I love brother.
Thanks for the encouragement. May Yah bless you.
My brothers story is so much like this, up until a certain point...
It feels like he is so far gone. I know Jesus can reach him. But i am scared to try anymore. I've tried some things, gave him a study Bible, sent youtube videos, answered every time he called day or night, etc, trying to help him see. He only ever comes back to me with paranoia. Where did i get the bible that it's speaking to him, but what he says he understands is evil and unbiblical. And the videos, who is this person, why are they typing, do they know who we are. When i answer and listen and talk with him, im wrong about everything, about everyone... im scared to send him anything, to say anything anymore. I just pray.
I am encouraged by your story today. Im so thankful you came to Christ, and ill never lose hope for my big brother 🙏
I’m glad my story was encouraging. It’s super hard to watch family members live like that. Sometimes all you can do is pray and show the love of Messiah to them as much as you can. Show them you care and show them how following Jesus affects your own life. I will pray for your brother too.
Hey brother, I can truly relate to your story in many ways. I feel like I know you now. Praise God man of God. From a struggling brother in northern England
It’s always good to know you’re not alone in something. That’s one of the reasons Messiah took on flesh. He has experienced the trials and sufferings we go through and can relate to us. Thanks for the support brother.
Wow! You have to do that documentary and write that book! Thank you for sharing Jesus!
Seek and ye shall find ask and it shall be given you knock and it shall be opened unto you.
Praise the Lord. Keep on walking with Jesus. And may He bless you in winning souls to Him.
Thank you. Amen.
It's great that you received Christ and your life has been transformed. I appreciate your courage in sharing.
Amen. Yah is good.
Hi thanks for sharing your story, I got really sick and ended up in a wheelchair. It stopped my wild partying instantly but I’m closer to God now than ever.
Thanks sister! That is awesome that your experience led you closer to God!
Hello brother, is there any way that I can get in contact with you? God be with you man of peace
@@GeorgeMarshall-hl2vm email me at william@movingamountain.com
Thank you for sharing your testimony.
I feel joy and happiness at how you are so joyful and happy.
I am coming back to the Lord after many years and I pray I can be a servant for him as you are.
Thanks for the encouragement. Following Him is the best decision someone can make.
Thank you with tears running down my face .
Thank you for your testimony. I pray for God to send you a godly wife and together you will serve Jesus for His glory ❤
Thank you. Amen.
God is using Joni Eareckson in an amazing way to bring the gospel of Jesus to many so can he use you to be a channel of blessing to others. God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform
Yeah, Joni is an incredible lady. I pray that God would use me in a similar way. Thanks for the encouragement.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing. I wonder if your grandpa was a man of faith and was praying for your salvation before he died.
I think my grandpa always believed in God, but he didn’t talk about Him much. I think he knew God was there, but didn’t consider Him to be a major part of his life. However, at the end of his life he seemed to turn to God. His mental state wasn’t extremely coherent at that point, but I remember him wanting to get right with God before he passed.
Wow, this is such a beautiful testimony! I really appreciate your transparency. I also got tingles all over when you told the story of your dream and the power of the name of Jesus! God bless you!
Praise God!
Thank you for sharing your testimony. ✨💞🙏🏽💞✨
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praise Yah. I’m grateful for how He has changed my life. May He bless you too.
Thanks be to God for you brother.
Amen. I'm thankful for the new life He has given me.

What an amazing testimony! Good bless you brother. I am a Christian struggling with faith and having ac relationship with Jesus. I also am just in recovery from my addictions. Please pray for me. Good bless you.
Hi Winnie. The Christian life isn't always easy. I have my times of struggle as well. Whenever you fall, get up again and keep going. I will pray for you.
Thank you for your testimony, God bless you
Thank you too.
Your testimony is amazing...sharing your past and at what age...so dark, so desperate...but always bring it back around...to forgiveness of the things because of Jesus...have you taken each of these incidents before the Lord? Has the Lord healed the CORE issue that drives you? If you struggle, it may be there are other life experiences you need to bring to Him...a great start is the book "bandage breakers"...
Bandage Breakers by Neil Anderson
Thank you for your testimony.
I will hold you up in prayer.
John 17, brother.
Thanks for the recommendation and the prayer. I’ve been working through that stuff for a while, and Abba has definitely healed me immensely. There is still more healing that needs to happen, but I’m grateful for what has been done. I’m pretty happy being alive.
this is an amazing testimony glad you shared
Thanks for watching.
Wow I relate so much to your story. Thank you 🙏❤
I hope it was encouraging.
You give me hope for my
Son. Thank you.
That’s great to hear. No one is too far gone. I will pray for your son.
I found you just yesterday after your video pay attention to who God puts in your path randomly popped up on my feed - I really needed to see that video and it has run though my head ever since. I truly believe God has brought me here for a reason too, so I am watching and learning from all your videos. Thank you ❤️
Thanks for the encouragement! I hope the videos help and bless you.
You are a beautiful man. You have been through so much and the Lord chose you to be a warrior! Hallelujah!! Your testimony is phenomenal.
Thank you Jem! I'm thankful He gave me another chance at life. God bless you!
At 29:21 LMAO....Not your fault bro
Even when sober some of them look really good done up and extremely hard to tell...I can only imagine being really drunk and seeing what I think is a beautiful chick
Respect on telling your story 👊👊
I'm listening to your testimony again brother. To share in your life experiences in a similar way even though I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, God be with you
Thank you for this.
Praise God!
Glory to God , thank you for sharing your testimony, blessings!
Thanks for the encouragement.
You encouraged me! may the Lord bless you and keep you and use you in a mighty way in the name of Jesus 🙏
Wonderful testimony. God bless you.
Love you brother this was beautiful ❤️.. thank you for sharing 🙏
Yes. I understand the bullying. It was bad for me too. They pick on EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING! No matter what I did, said, wore, ate, believed, my being American in Canada & even my parents & family were made fun of. Even the teachers took part & let it happen. Everyday for years. It took me about 20 years for it to fade in memory.
That sounds very similar to what happened to me. It does take time to process and understand it all from a new perspective, and even then there are responses we used to deal with the bullying that get ingrained in our subconscious and affect the way we deal with other things later in life. I hope that you have experienced great healing, and can maybe even use those things as a way to help others!
❤🕇❤ Brother , the LORD Jesus Christ not only died to save us from our sins which would have been glorious enough but the benefits of our salvation include wholeness in our physical body as well. . .i believe there is about to be an outpouring of His Spirit upon this earth like never before . Many will be amazed and receive Jesus and people in wheelchairs are going to get up out of them and be completely healed with brand new bodies. God will even do creative miracles - amputated limbs will grow back right before our eyes. I know you are content in Christ brother but theres going to be way more glory added to your story. Hallelujah!!!
Thank you for the encouragement Eileen! I believe at some point I will be healed too, whether in this life or the next. God is good.
I think your testimony and channel need more views! So thankful for what our Savior has done in your life. Your video randomly came across my home page today. Maybe consider contacting apologetics channels if they'd consider you as a guest? I'm also commenting for the algorithm. 🙂
Thanks for ideas!
God Bless u and love and prayers to u. I understand why u went down the road u did. I went down the partying road too trying to fill that God shaped void. God uses us at our worst to show His best doesn't he? ❤🙏
Thank you for the prayers. Yes, where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.
@movingamountain My brother had a car accident when he was 18, due to some friends drinking and messing around. His suv flipped 5 times and almost went into the river. He's been paralyzed from the chest down ever since. I've seen his struggles and i am blessed to see your amazing attitude. Thanks again for sharing. :)
@@rebeccashakespeare8134 you have some first hand experience of similar situations to mine. I hope your brother has found the same hope I have.
@movingamountain i think he's kind of gotten away from God a bit and it worries me. We were raised Catholic and i love them, but i think if we would have been involved with a church that was more Bible intensive, it would have helped him more. I think I'm going to share your video with him. I pray for him a lot. It's been about 25 yrs now. My mom is a nurse so she has given him daily care, but it definitely gets lonely for him. The friends he used to have kind of fell away at some point. He is sarcastic and funny as ever though, and I'm proud of him for not losing his personality. 😄
@@rebeccashakespeare8134 I grew up going to Catholic Church too and that’s what I originally went back to after my conversion. It was mostly because that’s what I knew. After a lot of learning and searching I’ve become more Messianic in my beliefs. I think it is important to present Yeshua (The Name of Jesus in Hebrew) as close to who He truly is as possible. If someone grows up with Catholicism, they might have a distorted view of Yeshua, and may not come to Him simply because they think He is someone who He actually isn’t. Loneliness is very difficult, but God is a great help in it. I will pray for your brother to know the comfort of Messiah.
Thanks for your testimony. Praise God!
I’m glad you are doing so much better. You are more capable than you know. The more healthy choices you want to make in life, the more good fruit comes from it. That has nothing to do with god though.
What if you had picked up the Quran as a young adult in an eastern county? Many of them do and change their ways. They had an experience just like yours. Visions and such.
Of course, there are bad ideas in the Bible and yet more so in the Quran that if followed today result in suffering for others.
Why do you think god “saved” you after many years of torment? Why not be the loving god he is supposed to be and give you a dream or vision that could spark your attention sooner? Like, the first time you hit a rock bottom?
If he was able to intervene in the ways you say he did by keeping you from jail or death so many times, surely he would have had the empathy and power to help you stop the things you didn’t like about yourself sooner too.
There are of millions of babies, women, men and children that live through horrific things and then die never getting a second, third, or fourth chance like you. They are born in countries where Jesus is not even an afterthought so they would never even know to turn to him.
I was a Christian for 30 years and realized that this existence is made up of our environments and many decisions, some with unhealthy and unsustainable consequences.
No holy spirit ever helped me stop watching what I shouldn’t. Or help me see that if I treat people kindly, they tend to do the same. Or that if I get bullied, I have the choice to walk away and choose to never do the same to others since I did not like how it felt myself.
Life is constant learning and observation. If peace and good choices were only due to the influence of god, then he’s either failing miserably or the other people’s who choose to live by the golden rule that existed before any Jew wrote it down (treat others how you like to be treated) wouldn’t be possible. Yet they are all around us worldwide. In the millions.
It’s not god. Its people observing the consequences to actions who choose to walk in a better direction because no one wants to suffer in the end.
If anyone is watching and thinks religion is the answer, just remember they are made up of thoughts people have had since the beginning of time. Some are much better thought out than others. But you have the ability to think things through and choose a healthy lifestyle for yourself - full of peace, health and less drama.
I can’t speculate on what might have happened if circumstances were different. All I can do is move forward with what I do know. The experience I had in the dream was definitely Jesus, and it was confirmed with supernatural events that shouldn’t be possible. I’ve experienced similar things since then, all involving the God of the Bible. It has been living according to the ways prescribed by the Bible that my life has improved. I don’t believe any of them are bad when understood in the proper context. There are people in different cultures who have also had dreams of Jesus, even though they have never heard of Him. The thing that sets Him apart is that He historically existed, He claimed He was God, and He rose from the dead, something that His followers believed they had witnessed so strongly, that they endured torture and death rather than deny that it happened.
As to why God would let me do all the wicked and destructive things I’ve done, have you ever let a child fail at something so that they learn from it? Sometimes you have to let people go through tough circumstances in order for them to grow. If you help a butterfly get out of its cocoon, its wings won’t develop properly and it won’t be able to fly. God knew that the amount of growth and the strength I’ve gained from my past experience was worth letting me go through it. He is a loving father and is going to do what’s best for us, even if it doesn’t make sense to us. Jesus went through horrible suffering too, and He was totally innocent. At least for me it was partially the consequences of my actions that led to my suffering, but He did nothing wrong. Yet, through the cross He redeemed the world. Jesus actually gives meaning to suffering. He shows that it isn’t pointless. It can accomplish great things, and ultimately there will be resurrection. That gives me great hope. I fully trust that He has my best interest in mind. It’s not about religious practice. It’s about having a personal relationship with God. If you just do a bunch of religious rituals, that will not lead you to God. Getting to know Him is what’s important. I know Jesus, and leaving Him would seem like ghosting my best friend. Why would I ever do that?
God bless you I’m so glad you’re doing better and saved. I’m so mad at those bullying kids who traumatized you 😡 they have some major repenting to do
Thanks for watching. I don't hold anything against those kids anymore. What they did was wrong, but they were also kids with their own traumas. It's kind of like a "Father forgive them, they know not what they do," kind of thing. In a way I feel sympathy for them more than anger.
We Thank God for saving yoi
Such a beautiful testimonial, God bless you dear brother. Thank you for your encouragement and dedication to the Lord. His ways are higer than ours 💙🙏
Amen 🙏🏻
I am a former Christian addict to an atheist in recovery. God was the problem. He was my abusive boyfriend
Have you considered that whatever you were worshipping wasn’t actually God, but your conception of God?
What a powerful testimony William, Jesus is truly good man. I can relate to a lot of what you said my brother and it really encouraged me. Thank you so much for sharing this, and may God continue to pour out his blessings on you :) ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing Derek! Jesus is truly good. May you find peace and joy in Him.
I'm so encouraged by your testimony and the love of God which you shared. He loves you and you're his dear child. Praise Our Good Father for Him.
I'm happy to hear it encouraged you :)
Thank you! My younger years were a lot like yours and I’m so glad that Jesus made Himself known to you.
🙏
💕💗💕🙏🏼
Amen. Wonderful testimony.
Wonderful testimony. So encouraging and inspiring. Thank you.
Praise God! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your atory! People can be unbelievably cruel. I'm sorry you experienced such cruel things, and I am glad you are feeling full of hope & so loved!
Yes, it was painful, but God uses me to reach others with His message of hope and mercy. Thank you.
@@movingamountain Your story really moved me. Don't underestimate how much you were traumatized by the cruelty of that abuse, and how it helped twist your brain into an ugly pretzel. I am glad God gave you comfort and made you feel healed
Hey William, geez that’s an amazing testimony, you brought a few tears to my eyes 😥 I’m so glad you have been saved after all the ups n downs in your life.
Have you heard of Todd White? he has an unbelievable testimony the longer version is better to watch...
He now goes round America and different countries healing the sick through God.
Look up... Todd White healing on the streets, just amazing
Hi Andrea, thanks for watching and sharing. Todd White is an awesome evangelist! I've watched quite a few of his videos. He has inspired me to go out and talk to people on the streets.
@@movingamountain That’s awsome he has inspired you because he did me when I first watched him 😊
Thank you William for being bold and honest in sharing your wonderful testimony. You dont know how your testimony can transform many,many lives and bring many souls totJesus. God bless you, i hope you cn still read my comment. God bless you brother in Christ.
Thank you for the encouragement Teresita! I pray that it will lead many people to our loving Savior. God bless you.
I was bullied in school too.
Sorry to hear that! I hope you realize you are still a unique person made in the image of God regardless of what others have said or done to you. You are of great value to our Father in Heaven!
How long, after you prayed for friends, did God give you friends & are they truly godly & loyal to this day?
I don't remember exactly. It happened over time, so it is hard to point to an exact moment. I still have good friends who encourage and support me. No human is perfect, but most of my friends seem to be genuine as far as people could be.

This is ridiculous.
I was also an addict and alcoholic.
I cleaned myself up. I was an atheist while I was an addict, still an atheist after.
No gods required.
Let me add, that if one was able to prove, that the only way for addicts to clean themselves up, was if they became Christians, you may have the beginnings of an interesting claim. But anecdotal stories from specific individuals offers no evidence whatsoever of the truth of your claim.
Because, there are also a huge number of stories of people who got themselves off of drugs, without becoming a Christian.
I am glad that you cleaned yourself up, but take credit for it. It was you that did it.
Let me add, that the only reason I am an atheist, is due to lack of evidence for gods.
Hi Pandstar. Everyone has different experiences and you are entitled to believe whatever you want. For the sake of your soul I hope you will consider what I'm saying too. This video was about sharing what has happened in my life. I don't know if you watched the whole thing or not, but it was about a lot more than simply a change from being not-sober to sober. I never made the claim that someone needs God to be able to get sober. It was actually the other way around in my case. I got sober and then I found God. It was also when I put my faith in Jesus Christ that the guilt and shame I was carrying from all the bad things I did disappeared. Jesus really does offer forgiveness, but if you don't turn to Him to forgive you now, you may find in the future that it is too late. I'm saying this because I care about you. I don't want you to go to hell. Consider that if it really is true that Jesus exists, you may find yourself in for a rude awakening if you reject Him. There is plenty of evidence for Gods existence, but you have to let go of preconceived notions. The Bible says, "For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." (Romans 1:19-20) In my own life the number of supernatural experiences I've had that are completely unexplainable is evidence enough, but unfortunately that isn't going to do much for you. You have to make your own decisions. I just hope you will keep seeking the truth. I'm sure you have had many interesting experiences in your own life, and I would love to hear about your perspective with addiction too. I'm glad you were able to get sober and change your life around. I really do hope the best for you. Grace and peace.
pandstar. God is very real. Call HIM and ask Him to come to you. He will respond.
Even Satan acknowledges God. You have a ways to go, but peace. We were all born into a spiritual war- Kingdom of God, Kingdom of Darkness. Daily battle. I am team God all the way. God loves all of us so much. Peace to you.@@pandstar
@@pandstar you also have to ask yourself, what in you makes hearing about Holy things makes you uncomfortable?
Incredible testimony. Do you have Instagram?
Hi Gigi. Thanks for watching. I am not on any social media besides TH-cam. The best way to contact me is through my website. www.movingamountain.com
Thank you for sharing this powerful testimony!!! I want to share this but don’t want to offend my friend who is suffering.😖🙏🏻🤍
Suffering only makes sense in Yeshua. He gives it meaning. Maybe your friend's suffering is meant to glorify Abba.
