    I was a Muslim a few weeks ago. now I am a Christian and a servant of Jesus Christ. I left Islam because it is full of moral, historical and scientific mistakes

      I am happy for you, but I think the reason why you left Muslim isn't good. I expected that you would say, that you found out that Jesus is Lord and your Saviour.

      Liszz - you need to learn very quickly that people dont have to spell everything out.
      That's what he is saying. The revelation of Jesus led to his revelation of Muslim religion.

      @@Laurel_KayYou are right what you said, that people don't need to explain everything. But that reason isn't very inviting for other Muslim that need to convert.

    Thank you for your testimony Emily. I completely identify with this theory of perfectionism and although I have given my life to Christ, I still struggle with this. I sometimes feel Christ values me when I’ve done everything right, when I’ve been loving, kept the house clean, done all the housework etc. and when I fail, I just want to give up the spiritual fight because I still think of life as school where I need an A in everything. Please pray for me. I know intellectually that Christ’s grace is sufficient for me but I have a lot of difficulty putting it into practice and believing it in my heart.

      I can relate to this. I think the problem is what's known as black and white thinking. When you fail you give up completely cause you don't think you can hold up the Christian perfectionism. I don't know what the answers Are, I can just relate. Maybe just do your best and forgive yourself when you fail. I don't know that God requires us to be perfect.

      @Maria Wesley. Part of the problem may be due to the fact that you are probably not seeing justification, sanctification, and glorification as all being part of salvation. Here's the logic. If I can't save (justify) myself, I can't save (sanctify or glorify) myself either. You may be seeing Jesus as your Savior, but in order for Him to be your Lord on a daily basis, He must become your LIFE as well (Col. 3:4; Jn. 14:6). That's where abiding in Christ comes in (John 15). In order for the vine to reproduce its life through the branches, there must be the rejection of the error self-help and self-righteousness and the acceptance of that true vine life through surrender. Perfectionism is a form of self-righteousness. If you want to explore this more, here are a few reading suggestions (Murray's are all on John 15. The other is on John 13-17):

    This happens to me too. I see shadows and things that shouldn't be there. But today God told me that He is protecting me and I believe that if it weren't for God, the devil would have taken me. I praise the Lord for always holding my hand and guiding me through life. Loving Jesus everyday is my daily victory. I am carrying my cross just as He did to calvary. I know that God will never let me go and that makes me very grateful and happy! ⛪️❤️✝️🙏🤴

    Wow, that’s crazy. When I started to really ready and study the Bible crazy things started to happen. At night and even in the afternoon, I would hear noises. The noises I would hear was like someone was walking around my room and random foot steps at night near me while I tried to sleep. It got to the point were things would get nocked off my desk. One day a battery flew across the room. Through out all this I prayed and ignored it. It’s crazy the things satan does to try and keep people from turning from faith. I did not realize that the reason for all the crazy things going on around me was because of my increasing faith and devotion. After watching this video, I now realize it.

    I had that experience of waking up with a blanket of pitch blackness over me in the room and the feeling was PURE EVIL. I was so terrified I could not even speak or shout out to others in the house. All I could do was close my eyes (because of the fear...I didn't want to see "IT" whatever it was) and in my mind say, "IN THE NAME OF JESUS" over and over until it left. After it's presence left, It took me about 10 minutes to compose myself. I envision life without God/Jesus the light and life......an eternity in the after life in that horrid darkness and terrifying fear.

    A demonic entity attacked me once while I was asleep. It held me down. It felt like my blankets were made of lead. All I had to do was take control and declare the blood of Christ, and it let me go as if I'd burned it. It was unnerving to say the least.

    My son is on the cusp of twice exceptional, that means he’s on the cusp of learning disabled and on the cusp of gifted in language.
    I’m praying for a healing . I don’t mind the gift however I do mind the learning disability.
    Although he’s smart in language in school the LD shows it’s ugly face . My son struggles with perfectionism as well and is prone to social and emotional difficulties.
    Imposter syndrome, over excitability‘s etc.
    Jesus is my lord and saviour, I’m counting on him to restore my son.

      San mariam thank you. I used to be a Catholic but I’m not any longer, I’ve since become a born again Christian. There are many reasons why.
      Although we are both Christians we worship in different ways. I appreciate your encouragement however, very kind of you.
      I consider my son healed ..... he has shown a slow but steady progress and has gone up 1 grade level since his last report card.
      I pray every day to Jesus Christ for my son & we believe he’s been healed. All the areas they’ve said he’s deficient in has had a significant improvement.
      Thank you and God bless you.

    Jesus wants us to surrender all to Him. He is the one who redeems, sanctifies, forgives, justifies and purifies us. It's never about what we can do but what He does..
    Let's keep inviting others to church or Christian fellowships. Let's keep sharing the good news in and out of season. The rest is only God who does..
