Barry's Testimony
From childhood I was brought up in a Pentecostal home, my mother was the formative influence on my childhood, my father had been converted to Christianity but when I was growing up he had backslidden. My childhood a painful experience, my mother always devalued my brothers and myself, we were made to be aware that we were in the way and a burden, the christian side of things weren’t any better it was legalistic and there was never any love, I can remember being made to feel guilty if I bought sweets on a Sunday and we were never allowed to go to the cinema as this was considered a sin. My mother could be emotionally and physically abusive; I can remember being beaten with a belt down my back for talking to my brother in church. I don’t remember my father being much use at the time flitting between his various women and I can understand that my mother must have been under a lot of strain especially as my older brother has severe learning difficulties.
When I reached my teens I had developed both a hatred of Christianity and of my mother, infact in my mind at the time the two were intertwined, as I got through my teens and into my twenties this hatred: combined with a deep spiritual emptiness led me down some very dark spiritual paths, I became fascinated by the occult, partly to spite my mother and partly to satisfy an emptiness inside myself. I was involved in very dark forms of occultism involving demon invocations, and sorcery, I practised alone but later joined various left hand path groups, from the earliest time I began occultism I had numerous experiences seeing entities, having out of body experiences, having spirits jump inside me; yet it did not stop me I was determined to see and know all that there was, magically speaking.
I was married in 2001, and at first everything was great, I deeply loved my wife Michelle and honestly thought that we would be together when we were old and grey, but as time went on, it began to fall apart. I can remember having my name called by a woman, who wasn’t there, on numerous occasions seeing dark blobs flying above the carpet, furniture moving by itself , it was definitively focused on me ,although Michelle heard and saw things I experienced most of it. The strange thing is it didn’t really bother me although Michelle was really freaked out.
Anyway it was partly because of that stuff going on in the house that we moved, at first it was great, the house was fine and quiet, we got on better; but earlier this year my unseen friend showed up again there was no stuff going on in the house, no noises, no things moving by themselves but I started to see an apparition of a young woman from time to time as large as life completely solid and this time she would get inside of me, it took me to a really dark place and the sadness and melancholy was indescribable, Michelle didn’t know any of this but obviously my behaviour was affected, I became withdrawn and uncommunicative. It finally came to a head with me going to my dads, whilst I was there the shock and pain of what had happened between me and Michelle combined with the spooky stuff made me do something I thought I would never do, I got out the yellow pages and looked up the local churches, I got through to one and told the pastor all my troubles marital and spiritual and the following Sunday they came and picked me up. I found it difficult and when they prayed with me I could not bring myself to say the name of Jesus, I was aggravated, aggressive and scared, I also felt like I was being a traitor, it took several attempts over several weeks but eventually I found the help and strength to renounce it and say the name of Jesus, at that moment I actually saw what I can only describe as a bird flying away from me but attached by a cord, when it got far enough away the cord snapped, it was at that moment that I felt it leave me, strangely I felt empty and tearful for several days, and then I was fine.
I was baptised in July and I cannot understand how the Lord found me or even wanted to find me, as I jokingly say the Lord pulled a fast one on me and floored me and I’m not complaining amen. I just can’t believe the peace that I now feel, I should never have judged the Lord by my miserable upbringing, because Jesus is nothing like the tyrant I thought he was, with me he has been gentle and very patient and above all his love is what really amazes me.
J's Testimony
I just wanted to say Thank God for your television ministry and everyone who is preaching the Kingdom of God. I have recently been delivered from the occult and cannot believe how far I fell in the space of a few short years. I was taken in and fell hook line and sinker for the so called New Age and everything that goes with it. Beginning with an interest in tarot cards I sank deeper and deeper into the mire without realising it. I was interested in crystals, Reiki, meditation, pagan groups, angels, and eventually joined a coven and became a 'white' witch. I genuinely believed, as do many many others doing the same thing, that I was a good person and working for the good of all, not doing any harm to anyone. It was only through watching a music video while channel hopping that the Word of God caught me. I began watching your programmes and realised to my utter horror what I had done. I realised that ALL of the New Age is a deceit belonging to the Devil, because it is based on the very OLD deceit of Satan in the Garden of Eden. It is an affront to God. I repented of my sins, asked forgiveness and have been born again into Christ. I cannot believe how stupid I was in the past, how blind I was to the Truth. The New Age promises transcendental knowledge without any rules, believe in your God ( as long as your version condones all your sins and doesn't expect you to change) do what you want and believe what you want. It is an utter LIE and a RUSE of the DEVIL. I thank God for His Mercy to me, and thank you all who work in the field of television evangelism for restoring me and saving my soul from eternal death and judgement. Praise the Lord.
Andy's Testimony
I was an atheist; I absolutely despised Christians and saw them as stuck-up hypocrites. My wife somehow talked me into an Alpha course. I hated it, so I decided to read the bible myself to catch out these "deluded Christians" running the course. One night I was in the sitting room and my wife was in the outhouse exercising. I was reading the gospel of John about the death of Jesus. Suddenly the whole house filled with...what I can only describe as liquid love...I knew I was not alone. I felt dirty and wanted to wash but found myself praying and weeping to God and asking Him to forgive me of my terrible past and the awful things I'd done. I heard my wife coming in and tried to compose myself. I dried my eyes and tried to look composed, her eyes were red and it transpired that exactly the same experience happened to her in the outhouse.
After this event we found we had an incredible desire to read the bible. We slept only 2 or 3 hours a night and then read the Word the following day. We know when someone would knock at our door and who it was; we know when the phone would ring and who it was. We walked at night with the dog along country lanes and in our peripheral vision saw lights “dancing” behind us but when we turned there was nothing. When we prayed and asked for things we simply got them. Through-out all this we felt so alive, we had a tingling sensation in our bodies and it felt like if we had asked for lightning to come out of out hand we knew it would. We began to realise we had to be very careful of what we prayed for. This experience and other amazing supernatural things happened to us both over the next 3 weeks until we couldn't stand it any longer and asked God to let us return to normal. God existed, we couldn't deny it. We will now spend our lives trying to get to know this awesome powerful God who loves us so much.
Cliff's Testimony
For many years I drifted through life never accomplishing much. My school years were disastrous without obtaining one qualification. I was told my schooling was a complete waste of time. Job to job I went encumbering debt, emotional problems , trouble with the authorities, losing friends , family turning against me and a whole lot more I don't care to mention!!
At my rock bottom with thoughts about ending it all in 2003 my depression was sky high. Channel bopping guess what station caught my attention......YES....... that's right it was Revelation TV. Bemused I watched this guy called "Howard” keep on going on about his studio like a "sweat box”. I found him interesting and continued listening .I liked him .He seemed a funny, honest guy.
Over the course of several weeks I regularly channelled in to watch this entertaining guy. Soon after watching Alpha up at Holy Trinity Brompton I decided to go along to a local venue near where I lived it was fabulous and you got a meal!! I gave my life to the Lord and have never looked back .He is FANTASTIC. My life gets better and better. Note I did not say without trials. My advice for any thinking about becoming a Christian is go for it. Father forgives and restores .To surrender to him HAS to be the most important aspect of our lives.
Cathy's Testimony
I was struck down with ME eight years ago. It was a dark time and so bad that I lost my voice and my ability to communicate and physically do any daily activity. I was bedridden for 5 months and it took around 3 years to begin to feel better. A friend encouraged me to try and read the bible and when I was a little stronger to go to an Alpha course. From this I learned a lot of things about myself; I decided I would make prayer a priority in my life. One day I was struck down on my knees and thanked God for giving me this illness because of how it had led me to find God who changed my life for the better. There is hope, for God is a God of love and when he begins to show you how much, it is mind blowing for us as people to accept that kind of love. I love my heavenly father and I went through the fire and came out the other end and I now am humbled and am grateful to God for everything. God opened a door for me and I went back to College and University and he used me to witness to others during my time there.
I finished University last June, at the age of 49 and He is now using me to reach out to those who are in pain and suffering. I hope to encourage others that when you get a grasp of the truth, of who you are, you can start living in that reality and walk each day in faith knowing that you have the ability to be successful to be able to make wise decisions. Your spirit begins to develop inward and your mind becomes sharper and stronger. God dwells in all of us even though at times he may seem far away. I am writing this with love, care and compassion for those that are going through this terrible illness and let it be known that there is a cure for Christ knows you already and will know your need. Be patient for God’s timing is not our timing and know that he is a God that heals and loves us tenderly.
