Follower of Jesus, first and forever. I support American goodness, for Americans and for good people of the world. Married, with teens! 😱 Love God, Love People
This is my testimony. I've given it before, but I'm pinning it here so people can understand who they're getting with me. Hint: He's a permanent resident!
I gave up on self-help on my birthday last year. Formally. In a short speech to my family. Then I redoubled my efforts to seek Him, while pretty much abandoning any attempt to live uprightly. I was still an alcoholic. Still smoked. Still depressed and a mess, while my life seemed to fly by in a dull and dreary haze.
But I continued to seek Him anyway. Learn about His goodness. I was already a Christian. I'd been saved at the age of 8 and attended church at most points of my life, aside from a couple short breaks in my younger years. I prayed. I read the Bible. I even read books about Jesus. I listened to sermons on Youtube. I was looking for the secret, the secret that I was missing. I knew that there had to be power here somewhere. That it wasn't just a theology or philosophy... at least I had that hope. And I wasn't going to give up on Jesus without really giving it my best shot to find Him.
When the dam broke, it broke quietly. I was listening to yet another book on Jesus when the realization dawned on me how GOOD He is, and how He did care for me. I realized that I'd never actually surrendered my life to Him. Never had the guts, didn't think I could hold up my end of a bargain like that anyway. And what if He asked me to do something I couldn't do? Something like Abraham with Isaac on that altar... I just couldn't fully trust that kind of lion's leap.
But when this dam broke, I suddenly realized that He loves me better than I love myself (which honestly wasn't a lot at that point), His plans for me are bound to be better than anything I could dream up. So, in a moment of passion, I surrendered all of me to Him. Asked Him to make of me whatever He could, broken and flawed as I was.
And He came. One by one he rifled through the things that weighed my heart down like a stone. Healed those unhealable wounds, and settled my heart about the things which had happened and I'd been unable to face. I cried for four hours, more or less straight. My face was a mess. My eyes actually hurt from all those tears.
I felt a little bad for the nice Korean family sitting around me on that international flight. A big white guy with tears streaming down his face for hours . . . might have been disturbing.
When I got home, the next night, I prayed before sleep and I had a visitor. Jesus? Holy Spirit? I had a conversation with them back and forth for about an hour and a half. It was amazing.
I was immediately cured of my decades-long addiction to alcohol. I realized that when I noticed a total lack of any urge to drink after days. I put it down forever, and haven't had any since. I don't even have a desire for that. What I have a desire for are the things of God. I get up early to pray and read my Bible. I post on X about Jesus. I listen to sermons by my favorite pastors. And that's all in addition to church and a men's group.
Jesus has become my passion. He's my life. He's my reason for joy and peace. And, I swear this is true . . . my life slowed down! Before this, it was going by so fast. Now, the days crawl by, and that suits me just fine! I'm loving this new life in Christ.
SO what happened to me on that flight? It took me a while to figure that out. At first I thought maybe I wasn't really saved before . . . for 40 years. But that seemed pretty harsh, and didn't line up with my experiences. So, I dug deeper and found some people with testimonies of non-traditional receivings of the Holy Spirit. Testimony after testimony lined up with my experience.
Holy Spirit has totally changed my life! And He wants to do more... I hear the sound of an abundance of rain!
The power wants out!
@CherylSchatz Maybe begin with what you got right.
Acknowledging our mutual commitment to understanding the Truth. And then offer up the way they understand it. Refer to scripture, as much as possible, and choose verses which clearly support their position. Sign off with a God Bless.
I heard this story about a Japanese soldier who was discovered on an island 25 years after the war ended. He was still hiding, plotting to kill allied soldiers, and defending his post.
You make me think of him. Even in 2026, as the narrative around the Covid vax finally crumbles, you’re still a true believer.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Educate yourself! You’ve fallen into the Dunning-Kruger trap.
“The ATSDR oral aluminum limit is based on 0.1% of oral aluminum being absorbed into the bloodstream, as the digestive tract blocks nearly all oral aluminum (Fig. 2a).2 In contrast, aluminum injected intramuscularly bypasses the digestive tract, and 100% of aluminum may be absorbed into the bloodstream over time (i.e., the proportion of absorbed aluminum is 1,000 times greater). To account for these different absorption amounts, the ATSDR oral aluminum limit must be divided by 1,000. This conversion results in an ATSDR-derived bloodstream aluminum limit of 1 mcg of aluminum (0.1% of 1,000 mcg) per kg of body weight per day (Fig. 2b).”
Vaccines contain 85 mcg/dose. That’s 85 times the safe limit. And you do one in each limb.
Or more!

@Mantisfarmer69@MilesFuzzyBear@jackunheard Ok, killer!
I looked at that study carefully. The authors chose to only focus on third trimester outcomes with their 12.6% miscarriage number, which is HIGH for that period.
The Covid shot was almost as effective as RU486.
Your entire specialty needs to be scrapped.
I’ve been counseling new parents to avoid getting a pediatrician, and just rely on urgent care if they need medical attention. Avoids all the SIDS from the shots you people push on babies.
Their immune systems aren’t even capable of making proper antibodies until they’re 2 or more, but you pump them full of aluminum and if they survive, treat their rashes and allergies that are the result, and then hit them with more vaccines.
I wonder how many kids you have personally given head-banging diaper-wearing non-verbal-for-life autism?
How many just died quietly in their cribs from the aluminum poisoning?
What’s your body count, “doc?”
@SolaSixMillion The prophets prophesied that Israel would be gathered back to their land from all other nations. Surely that has happened to a great extent, but perhaps this sort of thing will drive the final surge? Idk just guessing. I believe all that God said will come to pass.
@_PA_KAG_girl I just got “corrected” by a pediatrician and linked her the article about Fauci and his miscarriage texts.
So satisfying to watch their massive egos crumple under the weight of their revealed crimes against children!
She was the most honored woman ever.
And she had the great advantage of loving Jesus from the moment of His birth.
Surely she is a saint.
But so is anyone who is reborn of spirit as Ezekiel prophesied 500 years before Christ was born:
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.”
Ezekiel 36:26-27
1)New Heart
2)New Spirit
3)The Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) placed within you.
All by Jesus, at the moment of your full surrender to Him.
Has this happened to you?
You’d definitely know if it has.
@Mantisfarmer69@MilesFuzzyBear@jackunheard That study was fraudulently conducted to provide cover. Even Fauci knew the shots were causing a ton of miscarriages. What rock is the favorite for pediatricians to hide under to escape knowledge of their habitual crimes against children?
@MathisenSteve True.
You can’t erase what He does to us. A new heart and a new spirit enjoined to His own, plus this Holy Spirit as guide and companion? You’re not going to be snatched out of His hand. You’re Family.
