    I am a Holy Spirit filled believer. I had an otherworldly supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit lives within me and manifests upon me. When the baptism of the Holy Spirit happened it happened in my car. Jesus read my heart and I am chosen now. I speak in tongues have cast out demons in Jesus name and have lain hands on the sick in Jesus name and prayed and The Lord has done supernatural healings through me. I also prophesy. I go to an Apostolic church which is the true church of Jesus. Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Just as the Bible states. The church is a body of believers that have a supernatural relationship with Jesus. Many get hurt by religious churches that don’t truly know the Lord. The road is narrow. Only God can supernaturally adopt anyone. He is pouring His spirit on all flesh as we speak. People of all religions now are having encounters with Jesus. Jesus is real! I pray you find Him again. JW, Islam, even Judaism that denies Christ and the true gospel of His sacrifice for our sin and making Him Lord is antichrist spirit but many are coming to Jesus now. The bible says that before Christ returns there will be a great falling away. Don’t be part of it. Messianic Jews that have truly met Yeshua in spirit are extremely blessed! That Rabbi was not of Christ if he did not mention Jesus to you. When you truly meet the Lord the Holy Spirit placed inside of you speaks of Christ to others boldly. That is why true Christians witness to everyone. It isn’t their humanity it is the Holy Spirit inside of you. Jesus is the way the truth and the life you have to go through Him and His sacrifice to find The Father and the kingdom of Heaven. You must be born again! It only happens through Christ. God is not an energy that is new age thinking. He is the creator of all things. Jesus is God with God the Father and has existed from eternity. John 1:1. That love you speak of one for another is possible by the Holy Spirit within believers. It is not of your own willpower. If you felt judged as a Christian you maybe never met God. Being a Christian you have peace beyond all understanding. I don’t know if you ever were a daughter. Open your Bible again. He will meet you there.

    hi from the uk. im only 22 but going through a transformative period where im hurting in a lot of ways and yet i keep wanting to learn. I want to learn and connect with myself, my spirit and this divine energy i feel has reached me over the past couple years. I didnt grow up with a religion, I didn't grow up believing in God but i was always curious about understanding. i have changed since then and i believe in God, in this indescribable way, and so now i'm looking to learn more about teachings and guidance and beliefs etc. ive stumbled onto the christian communities, i'm reading the quran, interested in buddhism and learning about love and acceptance, forgiveness - all of the values. but i also feel alone in this journey. i feel alone and a hope that maybe learning more would connect me to these religious communities where i could finally say i am this or i am that and feel connected to other people through my spirituality. but at the same time, i don't think that will happen because there are practices that i dont quite agree with. then i think im being naiive, that my thoughts are somehow better than these ageold teachings and practices by choosing to disagree. its so confusing, especially not growing up around religion. and its almost like im navigating blind, listening to this here, that there, trusting the energies. i dont know if ill ever find my way. but this video helped me to accept that this is all okay. i feel judgment put on me going through this process, like this is wrong. like i need to listen and trust other people that have dedicated themselves to a religion over trusting myself. or that im crazy for believing these things because ive been around people that aren't religious or spiritual. its so hard to navigate. but hearing your story, it feels good to know that that all doesnt matter. its my relationship with god. and my journey. and i am and will be divinely loved through all of it. i just need to keep trying to be a good person, keep learning and being curious and be more accepting and whether i get somewhere or not, itll all be okay. so thank you for sharing this video <3

    Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story-it was truly refreshing to watch. You have a beautiful spirit, and the peace you exude is so inspiring. Please don’t let the naysayers or judgmental voices discourage you; they often don’t know any better. For those who understand, your message resonates deeply. I was raised in the church and spent much of my young adult life as a Christian. I stepped away 13 years ago, and looking back, I’m so grateful for the self-work I’ve done since then. I’ve become the best version of myself, and it’s freeing to see things from a broader perspective. You’re absolutely right-how could such a massive, incredible force be confined to a book, a text, or a single belief system? The universe is far too vast and extraordinary to be reduced to one interpretation. Life is a journey, and it’s all about learning, evolving, and striving to become the best version of ourselves. Keep shining and inspiring others along the way!

My path is very similar on how I came about find the Lord Jesus Christ. Listening to partial truth in teachers who are not professing the truth is not the way to find the Truth.

"The Mission” is to get as much money as possible from those who donate ,That is just a brain wash to All those donors making them believe that that money goes to those kids “cross the street". Rick the CEO makes $850,000 a year, did you know that? he lives on Mud Island in a 1.5 Million dollar house..did you know that? At the annual meetings where he told us how much money we raised, he, Rick forbade us from posting comments on social media about how much money the hospital made that year and all the years to come, did you know that? Shame on me for working so many years for those Corrupt, manipulating the feelings of those donors with SAD Coupons, TV and Radio Commercials.

My son is very similar. My daughter is in 7th grade and son is in 5th grade, so I got some time. Still I wish it was easier.

    I think it's important to define terms: 1. Jehovah Witnesses ARE NOT Christians. They are a cult. 2. Religion is- a particular system of faith and worship. The belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers. By this definition, all of us have a religion. Theists beliefs and worship is centered around their worldview of God. Atheists center the beliefs on matter and energy and their distant beliefs about God. 3. Christians- all believe that Jesus Christ is God. That The Holy Spirit is God and God the Father is God. All three distinct, divine persons, sharing the same essence. Christianity was established by God (Jesus atoning work on the cross) and once we accept His offer of salvation, we are born again (into a new family, a spiritual family. And just like when we are born into our natural families and are connected by unbreakable ties, so too are we when we are born again into the family of faith. You mentioned a couple of times that your biological father was not Christian, but that did not prevent him from being your father. You mentioned that your mother struggled with substance abuse and that didn't stop her from being your mother. In fact, NOTHING in this life could. As for the spiritual family and what could sever the the ties..in this life or the next. Typically what happens when people say they are an ex Christian, they were never Christians to began with. Like you, they were just church members. And I personally don't see why you have a say ex Christian in your story...i rmbr being younger and wholeheartedly being in Santa, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny only to be "delivered" from my immaturity and false understandings brought on by my family and the world.

      @@calmnrelaxed It is fair to say many people break ties with their family members. This is becoming more and more frequent as people learn what toxic relationships look like and begin to open their eyes and set boundaries. Christianity can also be a toxic relationship (for some). Your first statement saying we all believe in a higher power is fact. Without religion, you can believe and have a relationship with said power (God). You called Jehovah witness a cult.. One could say the same thing about Christians and many of the subcategories within this religion. Let us also not forget Jesus was a Jew. He died a Jew. Lastly, your example of the toothy fairy and becoming mature in your understanding of what is real and not sums up my whole story. Christianity, the religion, is the story about the tooth fairy and Santa. But let's be clear, Santa and the tooth fairy existed. The lie was who they were. Thank you for sharing your insight and thoughts. I am sure it will help someone on the journey for clarity. Perspectives are always good. Also, I encourage you to listen to my follow-up video on this topic if you feel so inclined.

      @nontraditionalmommy first thing, i appreciate your response. Next thing, I think it's also fair to say that family relationships have several connections. One of which we have control over, we can choose to fellowship with one another or not (that's the connection you're referring to). If we get mad at our parents, we can stop talking to them if we want. And I agree this happens quite a bit. But even if we stop talking to them, there is no way to give them back the dna that connections us to them. When we are born into this world, we have no say in the matter. If we don't like our parents, we had no say in selecting them. We are biologically locked into that family. Same thing for Christianity. We have no say in who the father is, no say in what it takes to be part of the family, and no way to remove ourselves from the family once we are born again into it. Now, let's talk about Christianity vs. Jehovah Witness. If you don't want to call Jehovah Witness a cult, I won't argue with you. But to make it clear, there are fundamental differences between the two that can not be reconciled. At the core of Christianity is the belief that Jesus Christ is God (big G). Never created. The Jehovah Witnesses believe He was created. That he is a god (little g), but not the same essence as God the Father. Christianity came into being in during Pentecost. Which is a Christian holiday that celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit on Jesus' followers, as described in the Bible's Acts of the Apostles. Christians view the Holy Spirit as God (Big G). The Jehovah Witnesses see the Holy Spirit as an active force (not as a person). Charles Taze Russell is considered the founder of the movement that became known as Jehovah's Witnesses, starting around 1879. Russell, a former Presbyterian who's beliefs included: The Bible was the "word of God, Hell was not used for eternal torment, The "Holy Trinity" was rejected, and The soul was not immortal. The Jehovah Witnesses published a complete bible in 1961. Reflecting these offshoots and radical teaching (by Christian standards). So, just to summarize my last point, Christianity was found by God, ushered into existence by God and the members held by God. Jehovah Witnesses were started by Charles Taze Russell. Their Bible, created by changing text from the Christian Bible to reflect their founder's personal beliefs.

All the women who are commenting and just the community of women becoming 1st time moms and those welcoming new bundles to their family is so encouraging. I just thank you cause it's so helpful to hear other women who have done this// are doing this. It just makes me feel more confident. 💓🥹💓

    So halfway through it seems like a lot was based off of other relationships. I pray you didn’t trade out your #1 relationship due to others. Very vital, you will need & so will your child. Please shoot me a DM so I can explain the Gospel more in debt for you. It will save you ❤️🙏🏾

    I was a hardcore Christian, went to seminary, was an ordained chaplain. Later rejected my faith and I was so much happier after I did.
