    This brother reminds me that a saint IS a sinner who keeps trying. Even while having joined the church, he still eventually fell into very bad addictions and despair once again. I can relate and hate to say I have felt somewhat worse.. The church isn't the church without the ever enduring strong hearts and continuing, dedicated faith of its loyal members.. Even ones that can still screw up like everyone else. Just as me and this inspirational brother have. I WILL continue to hold to the rod. I know personally myself, I've slipped off the path many many times. I've sunken or fallen into many dark, familiar intoxicating mists in my life that keep returning to haunt me.... Lds or not, DON'T let yourselves be so discouraged brethren. Never give in to that it's too late or point of no return bullcrap. We ALL can change..God speed 🙏🏼💛

    The part where he said “I remember you and I’m with you” made me feel a bunch of good emotions and made me cry. I know Jesus Christ will be with me in everything I do and that in everything I do I remember him. I also know that he will strengthen me by praying and doing the things of the Lord. I remember experiencing doubt in my life and going through depression, but God never left my side and I pushed myself to pray more often so that I’m always on the right path. During my institute class today someone shared that it is also okay to cry when we are feeling down or doubt, it is normal, but God with always be right next to us (almost like he is literally next to you). One thing that I remember is that Jesus Christ is like our missionary companion. He will always be there for us like a missionary companion is. I’m very thankful for being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Also super grateful for all the many amazing testimonies of everyone. I can testify that God is always with us and will never leave our side no matter what we go through. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. ❤️

    I "played in the jungle" for a period of time, and had 2 marriages with some pretty hardcore men as well. Both wound up in divorce (of course), but I was able to get clean 15&1/2 yrs ago, and forgive them/be friends with them both. God showed me how over time, and one has since passed, and the other is still in & out of prison. I minister to him through letters, staying clean, and being an example through Christ. We'll never be together again because I've grown into a very different person, but I'll be the best friend I can be to him for Jesus.

    "I frequently prayed in my cell and asked the Lord for a miracle. I remember asking for the God of Israel to come and do battle for me, cause I knew it would take a God to rescue me.
    My cell turned into my sanctuary. I would pray, read scriptures, and have spiritual experiences, all the time surrounded by prisoners who didn't even believe in God. It was my only escape. When the other inmates saw that I was praying, they taunted me, saying 'Why are you asking for Jailhouse Jesus to come rescue you. Man up. You are going to do 15 years.'
    In the bleakness of the night surrounded by concrete and bars I remembered a dream I had years before. In my dream the Savior came across a long Beach and He found me, and He picked me up with His two fingers and looked at me and called me by my name and He said "I remember you, and I'm with you." Those words gave me strength to fight another day.
    I also remember my trainer Frankies words. 'The fight comes from within boy'."

    This is an amazing testimony of the power of Christ. He never gives up on us. Many people who say they believe in Christ give up on others. It is my testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that people we think can't be redeemed can be. God loves us. He is able to redeem. We must turn our hearts, minds, strength and will to Him. When we do He will direct us. He is in the ring with us. Money and power currupt us unless we remember Jacob's counsel. Addictions can be overcome but addicts require love, and knowing we will never give up. Never, Never, Never give up. He will come. Thank you for your testimony.

    This video was incredible! I also spent most of my life searching and not finding answers to questions. I investigated many faiths, and it was my belief in Jesus Christ that help me through the dark times. I am very grateful then when I was 19 years old, a member of the church had the courage to share the restored gospel with me. I now bask in the light that I have been given. Light is exactly the word that I would use to describe the experience I had that helped me know for myself the truthfulness of what I was hearing. For those still in darkness, I promise you that if you look to God as this man did, as I did, by studying his word and also by listening to his servants, you will find light and truth. Then, our consistent and persistent running to the light leads us to God, who blesses us with a joy beyond all you or I could imagine.
