    I was an atheist until I was 33 years old. I did not go to church or ever think about God unless someone brought up the subject. I was saved unexpectedly while I was alone driving. I felt the presence of God, a god that I’d denied. I pulled over, cried, repented, was forgiven, and began my new life as a fully devoted follower of Christ from that very day. I’m a whole new person and my family tree has completely changed.

      William WALLIS! Absolutely. The Bible says that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains! My advice would be to pray, and dig! Dig into knowledge, this channel is great, also look at Living Waters University. Something I’ve been thinking about lately is how God wrote His laws on our hearts. Take the difference between us and animals for example- if a mother cat abandoned her runt kitten, she would not be considered to have done an evil act; I’m pretty sure animals don’t ask for consent before mating, yet the animal isn’t an evil rapist; they do not have morals like we do, that’s because God set us apart and created us in His image. We’re his treasure. Just a little something to think about. I’m praying for you William, allow God to work in you.

      I had this shit crammed down my throat from the time I was a little kid. Never bought into it and always had questions. Best day of my life was when I let all this abrahamic god belief behind and walked away from it all. Never felt more peace than when I stopped going to church and let it all go.

      @@sidepot So you are not alone in that. You never had a personal connection to God, just a superficial one that others tried to impose on you. And as a result you often felt troubled and confused about something that seemingly meant nothing. Unfortunately while that may have been the case, that is not how faith works at all. Faith is a personal connection and trust in God. It is rejoicing in the cross of Christ at the promise of the gift of eternal life and deliverance from this world. Do you know where you are going when you die? Would you be willing to turn your back on the truth just to end up in hell for all eternity? Because of a bad experience or a misunderstanding? These are things you need to ask yourself. Now I am not commanding you to do anything, but I would suggest that you pray somewhat and consider what I have said. I will be praying for you.

      I don’t buy into this bullshit. Don’t tell me the nonsense about a personal connection. Whatever you feel is what you believe in your head. You have no proof of some fantasy relationship.
      I am not going to be coerced by fear of some eternal torment. That’s fucking bullshit.

    I was an atheist all throughout high school and the first half of my first semester of college. A friend of mine invited me to dinner at a campus ministry, and I continued to go the next week. I even started to go to their freshmen bible study, and went to a church for the first time. I had so many people pouring in to me and showing me the love of God, and this past March on a spring break mission trip with the campus ministry I prayed to receive Christ when I was 19. Now I'm 20, I lead a Men's small group bible study with the same ministry. I plan on spending my two years after college doing international ministry with a program called GO2, and possibly going to seminary.

      Thank you for sharing this... God uses plain ordinary and weak people so that His power can be put on display through them.... we have plenty examples in Scripture. If you want to hear an encouraging Testimony of a Preacher who never ever dreamed he would be one, as he saw himself as just ordinary and not worthy, and he has dyslexia on top of it to ... well let’s just say you will be super encouraged. He is a phenomenal Preacher. Top in my opinion and conviction, and God sent. Go check out his testimony: Shane Idleman. He is from Westside Christian Fellowship in Leona Valley USA. I’ve just listened to his latest sermon, which is awesome indeed. As Allen was talking about a lot of Preachers not preaching truth, or the Word of God, well, lets just say, Shane through what God is doing in Him, brings the Word of God to live, and speaks into lives of others. If God can use him, God can use you. You just need to be open to what the Spirit wants you to do, and do it. God will empower you and lead you for sure! God bless 😊🙏🏻

      Yeah it's really difficult. Recently I was in a situation where I had to choose between keeping my friendship with someone or standing up for God. It was really difficult because I had just went through a painful break up the year before and she was the one that helped me through that, and this time I didn't have anyone else to be with instead. I chose to stand up for God and what happened was she broke up with me but I didn't feel any pain from it. It was really weird because the previous one hurt a lot but in this one I felt perfectly fine. Honestly the only explanation for it is that God was supernaturally making me feel better. It was similar to when I was first trying to talk to her about Christianity I was extremely nervous but then as soon as I said it I felt a huge sense of peace.

    On January 6th 2019, I made the decision to follow Christ. This was the most important decision I’ve ever made, and I haven’t looked back since.

      3. Can be used to advance His kingdom
      With the power of the Holy Spirit I now live according to:
      1. Matthew 22
      2. Romans 1:16-17
      3. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

But it’s sad that I would come out of church the same way I had walked in. Never really being moved. Until it hit me, it isn’t a religion, it’s a relationship with the Lord. And that’s when I embrace the Lord being born again and God helped me fine a great home.

    Allen, I have been watching your channel for about 6 months. I really like your bullet point style. Your teachings really help me apply the Word to my life. I really appreciated this video as well...for numerous reasons. Though I am no longer the angry, strung out man I used to be, and am active in the Ministry, I do struggle with the day to day temptations that every believer faces. Testimonies like this one really help me remain faithful. "Trusted with little, trusted with much."

God recently gave me the call to preach to youth and this promotion was "conveniently" placed before me right afterwards. This video encourages me to stop and think about what God has given in return. Thank you Allen!

Which I am on the men's choir. Since listening to you, you have made it biblically clear, about a lot of things in the bible, that I wasn't clear on. So Continue, to Bless this community and other viewers, with God's Word. And it was good hearing your testimony! God Bless You And Family!

    Thank you for sharing your amazing testimony. I really like that you call your journey a “faith Journey” it’s definitely a challenge, and if we don’t give faith a chance, how will we ever know our fullest potential that God has for us? Im going to start calling my journey a “faith journey” too. Faith is difficult to practice but either way, faith or no faith, we still have to wait for an outcome. So it’s best to just have faith and work towards whatever will bring us up not down.

    Thank you for this wonderful testimony.
    I have been living in middle east for almost 9yrs. with Muslim family as I work as an OFW(housemaid).
    I have my own testimony right now.
    For the past couple of years, during this time of Ramadan, I've been having a different feelings toward Islam and during this times also, I would check on videos regarding their (Islam) beliefs. So basically, I feel like I am being shaken up as a Christian. For the past week, almost everyday, I would watch videos and listen to Islam Qur'an recitations and Muslim testimonies aswell, and I would even put my comments telling about how I feel or my thoughts about it and some people would often reply to me with indirect encouragement toward Islam. But you know what, there was one comment that seems to wake me up today. It says....
    "JESUS is the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN".
    Reading that gave me so much impact that led me to checking a video regarding that Bible verse. This is why I am here now in your channel and I am very glad to belong here.
    Thank God for waking me up from my agonies. I don't even watch your video as I am at work(my hands are busy). I simply put on my headset and listened to you while my phone is in my pocket.
    I am here to know more about my religion, CHRISTIANITY.
    Looking forward to much more meaningful mornings like this.
    God bless us all.😇

    Haven’t watched the video yet, but I think us Christians need to keep sharing our testimonies and experiences. I believe that relationships and experiences are things that humans can relate to on a whole new level. Sharing those can have great impact as it did on my life.
    Personally my testimony is still a work in progress. I think I have struggled with just about everything a human can struggle with, and that is if you do an honesty check. Anyways, I encourage you guys to never give up on God. I know you have heard this a billion times, but God is always here. His presence and the peace He gives you just hits differently. Keep strong fellow Christians!

    Idk what I’m doing but I kinda wanna give like my quick testimony because I have no friends I can talk to (lol) . God kinda saved me from depression and suicide. (I’ve been having it since I was like 10. I’m 13 right now). Like this year, I was planning on committing not alive because I really had nothing to live for and the future scared me. For some reason, my parents who blocked all my paths for counselling randomly told me the cons of suicide, I’ve never talked to them about it. My mum was like, suicide is bad and you’ll probs go to hell for it, and my dad randomly asked me if I was happy. It was so random and it couldn’t be a coincidence. Then I researched all I could about hell, and I really don’t want to go there, so I searched about getting the Holy Spirit and how to believe in RUclips, and now I can 99.99percent say that I have the Holy Spirit and that I believe in the lord and Jesus as my saviour. :D I had to give up my lifestyle of reading yaoi fanfics because that was realllly sinful, and because I had nothing else to live for, I really hope that god can give me a reason to live, and to change me fully. I think it’s working, and despite all the thoughts urging me to go back to my previous hobby, I didn’t. Now I am a lot less suicidal, and I am actually using my (hopefully) talent for god, and drawing comics a lot. (Although I have like no followers or anyone noticing mine.) Hopefully I actually do have the Holy Spirit and I pray that god will guide me in all my life choices, and change me fully. This all happened during quarantine, so I guess god knows what he’s doing with these events. God bless everyone, and hopefully he can use me to bring people to Christ, because YT channels like this one really changed me. Thanks if anyone reads this, and now I know why some comments has no paragraph spaces between paragraphs.

    I feel that God is leading me to move on from this guy that i thought I was in love with, and i feel that God is leading me to stop focusing on boys and my romantic life. I realized that I had been idolizing getting a boyfriend/falling in love/getting married. My whole life I have been. And I know that God is so much greater than all of that and than everything/everyone, so I need to let my idols go, and I need to focus on Jesus. That is the most important relationship in my life, my relationship with Jesus. I also felt God calling me to quit choir next school year. I am going to be in 11th grade next school year, and I have been in choir since 4th grade. I know God has something better. I am actually really excited. It surprises me how excited I am. And when I first (I believe) felt God call me to this, I didn't want to believe that it was God telling me this. It felt like I would be letting a piece of me go, like I would lose myself. It was really hard for me. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't. I felt no peace. So I eventually gave in, and I felt peace. And now I am actually so excited for this, for what God has in store for me. God's plan really is greater than my own plan. So much greater. And hearing your testimony reassures me. I know it will work out for good. Whatever Jesus has in store will be so much better than what I originally had! I can't wait! Thank you for sharing your testimony!

    Hey Allen, I was listening to your Personal Testimony & Faith Journey. It was very good of you to share. I was a Muslim, but I gave my life to Jesus. I use to go to church, but I have stopped. Reason of my own. I pray and read my Bible at my home. I love to listen to gospel music. Praying to God is a everyday worship, not just on Sunday. Becoming a Christian has really change my life. I have gone through many hardships in my life, but now I have Jesus. Sometimes I do question God, but the good Lord as always blessed me. And we all have to wait on His timing. Amen.

    I became born again in July 2018. I was watching a street preacher video and saw the sins on the signs and immediately I was convicted. I didn't want to go to Hell. I bowed my head down and prayed to God, I'm sorry for my sins, please forgive me and I want to repent. Within a few minutes I felt like a brand new person. I didn't know what happened to me, all I knew was I felt So GOOD and I didn't want to sin anymore. I had really bad anger problems, I was addicted to pornagraphy and lusting at women. I am so glad and blessed Jesus changed my life. I was a very disgusting person and horrible sinner and Jesus saved me. I am so excited to see what God has for me and my family in the future.

    Thank you for sharing your testimony and for your willingness to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Your videos have helped me in so many areas of my life, but mostly in my family. I introduced my aunt to your videos and now we watch them and engage in studying God's word together. There has been so much dysfunction in my family for the past few years and we are a so called "Christian Family". I had been praying for my family to be revived in Christ and I feel your videos and my relationship with my aunt are just the beginning to that prayer being answered. I thank God for you and I pray that God will allow you to continue this RUclips ministry for as long as it's being effective in changing lives. Be blessed!
