Just to point out one more point that I didn't cover. When it came to meeting my fiancé for the first time she said that she was not going and was determined not to but then she had a sudden change of heart at the last moment and then came, still to this day she cannot understand why she had that feeling. I wish I could ramble on for hours (which I could) but I wanted to keep it as short as possible to try to help you guys or at least at the bottom level find it intriguing. If you do have any questions then please leave them in the comments I'll be happy to answer any. Hope this helps and see you in the next one :)
awesome story mate thanks for sharing it with us and opening up it can be tough sometimes but God defo has your back and he does work in mysterious ways thats for certain! you're blessed with more than you know, good career, family, missus, kids etc well done to you bro you deserve that Amen mate and give thanks to God 👊🙏
I appreciate the comment very much thank you. I still have my struggles and at times I'm not the most faithful but no matter in the end I always come back to him and I thank him for that. Being in the RAF can be challenging at times (In terms of faith) but fortunately I have a Roman Catholic & A Orthodox Christian on my course so there's a lot of support in that regard. God bless you and I hope he blesses you with all that you are working for in the name of Jesus Christ Amen! 🙏
Hi mate fellow Christian here. I actually became a lot closer to god in 2023 and 2024. I went through a lot of suffering during this time and for years before hand. god used this suffering to reach out to me and save me. He has also been using you my friend. I applied for the raf back in June 2024, passed all the selection process by November 2024, was always planning on doing cyber space and what do you know I see videos of you walking through raf selection phases and giving advice and you also chose cyberspace same as me. I watched all your videos during my time in the selection process. I passed everything and am now waiting to get shipped off to basic in March 11th. You have been a great guide for me during my journey so the fact that I found out you are also a man of god with a testimony like mine makes this all even better and strengthens my faith in god even more. I know the raf is linked to gods plan for my life and I know that’s where I’m meant to go. Been seeing Angel numbers everywhere plus your videos during my time applying and so many other good things were happening that were way too coincidental to just be luck.
@@ethanbell5508 wow this is an amazing comment thank you so much and I’m so glad he has reached out to you the same he did me. For me suffering is the key to finding god but it’s hard because there’s a false perception that he wouldn’t make his creation suffer but it’s more complex than that! I’m glad you have found the calling that gives you purpose alongside god. Don’t get me wrong I’m not perfect by any mean I still make mistakes sometimes I go in really bad ways but no matter what situation I’m in I always return to him and I realise he’s still there, incredible feeling. Really well done for passing the selection process it can be a long one but I’m glad he made it smooth for you! Good luck until that point and if you have any questions about basic please feel free to comment 🙂 god bless.
I served 4 years in the RAF from 82 to 86 and then became a postman for 36.5 yrs..am 60 now !became a Christian in 1995....I got into faith through an interest in things like Near death experiences....God has certainly seen me through some tough times,especially this last year regarding my health.God Bless you in your RAF training and career.
@@adrianandkatrinadove203 that’s great to hear! What trade did you do in the raf? And yeah the post office is defo not a miserable job very good for keeping you active so the post office must of lost one of their best when you left! 🙂 100%, I heard something the other day about god that he doesn’t find the righteous followers he goes after the non-believers and sinners to give them salvation (something I have experienced myself). Thank you and God bless to you to and I pray everything goes well with your health.
@@JakeGchannel Thanks so much Jake......what u write is so very true....To be honest Royal Mail was great for twenty 4 yrs approx,then it got ruined and became an unhappy place to be and that`s putting it mildly.Posties now work in impossible situations,with deliveries so big they cannot cope,I was an A mech W....(Armaments) Served ..)at RAF Chivenor on Hawks ..Base now gone..(North Devon) and RAF Wildenrath on Phantoms,in Germany...also now well gone for many yrs.Did just 4 yrs and decided to leave...In hindsight wish i had stayed in longer but its no good looking back....What trade are you ? I don`t think i ever met one single Christian in my time in the RAF,certainly never knew of anyone going to church..Blessings to you and family....Ade
@@codymclean7206 that’s good to hear, one of my favourite days at halton was Sunday. It was crap knowing I’m going back into a long week of struggling but also comfort knowing I’m going to church. Good luck with your Halton career let us know how it goes.
@@JakeGchannel I’ve gone back home atm as similar to you my partner is pregnant she is really struggling but back on the 6th of Jan after Christmas need to speak to someone about support about that with me and my partner.
@@codymclean7206 oh fair enough congratulations! I know how tough it can be being away but I’m sure your partner is supportive of your career choice. In terms of support do you mean financial?
So glad to hear you have found God his might is the greatest and he tends to find his believers and followers at their lowest and darkest moments. I was also in a really dark place when I found God I was addicted to spice and weed I was consistently high the entire time I was in college, everyday for 2 years, I would party every weekend and then my dog died and my life just felt empty after his passing and one night I was done with it all I wanted to die, and for some reason I sat on my bedroom floor and begged for someone to help me balling my eyes out, a few minutes go by and I feel this force that felt like a hand on my shoulder and it lifted me up I felt this comfort I had never felt before come around me and I just knew it had to be God and when I realised what had happened I knew that it wasn't too late too change so I poured out the spice from my window prayed for the first time since primary school to thank Jesus for helping me and went to bed like I wasn't just about to end it all. p.s these images that play out from bad times in your past is Satan reminding you of your past and the guilt you feel from those times is proof that your connection with God is growing stronger. it was lovely hearing your story.
@@jrushed1840 Amazing story, it’s unbelievable how everyone has similar experiences but so different if that makes sense. No matter though, we all end up in the same place, I hope you are doing well and Thank you for sharing your story.
@@waynelynch3252 Hi Wayne, yeah it’s ok so far just a bit boring as it’s death by PowerPoint and it’s rather difficult to learn the technical stuff but I had a sort of careers day last week where I spoke to a lot of different bases and speaking to them reinvigorated me to get through these next 6 months. No problem thanks for watching 🙂
@@macauleyholloway25 Not at the moment however, a lot of people have been asking and I am think of making a discord sever for the channel, unless you guys have any other suggestions for filling that area? Love to hear your suggestions.
Similar testimony here with the depression and then the coincidences. God really finds a lot of people at there lowest and I'm ecstatic to know you are a brother in christ ❤. What is church like at Halton? When can you go to church what's the support like? How's the pastor? How many people were going?
@@hehe8231 good to see a fellow brother as well 🙏 the church is really nice the glass work is incredible there as it had many aviators over the years create their own to put on the church. The support is amazing it’s usually taken by a wing commanders as many padres are that rank where they sing and pray, afterwards they have cake and beverages to mingle with one another. Great thing about the raf is the padre has some serious footing and their words carry a lot of weight so if you have an issue that’s not being resolved (I.E the block at your phase 2 isn’t getting fixed) then they go to the station officer and it gets fixed very quick. Usually on a day it was like 20 people sometimes less sometimes more. It’s open every Sunday and you basically sign out at the guard room and walk in civies to the church for an hour or so.
@@hamza-id9zj A great question and the best answer is it’s personal to everyone. For me the RAF was not only a financial or status benefit but a place for me to serve a higher purpose while still remaining faithful to god. I always said this to people who ask: ‘but you took oath to serve the king not god’ and while this is true to some extent to me personally I swore to god first during my attestation and I’ve always said, I’ll bow before the king but only kneel before god. Again, this is very personal to me doesn’t necessarily mean I’m right or wrong. Bit of a long answer but shortly yes you can practise faith and it is promoted here although many are atheist 😄
God is actually using you. I was watching your DAA advice(hence I subscribed) a few months ago, done everything upto my fitness test and along the process I found a girl whom I thought liked me and got curved. I just got back from the gym with a really heavy heart and distracting myself here on RUclips. My faith has been weak lately and this video is my answer. Thank you love from a brother
@@joeceleron5022 no problem thank you As well and I’m glad he’s calling out to you and I hope like me you can find the way back on this amazing ship we are all on. Well I don’t ever script my videos usually I have no idea what I’m talking about (not in the sense of pretending to know but more in the sense of not planning anything) and I just go with what I feel to be right in my heart and more importantly my soul. How has your application progressed on? Have you got a basic training start date?
@@TheMrJmcm I’m glad to hear you have passed well done for putting the work in 🙂 god bless to, keep me informed with how your medical and fitness goes. God bless 🙏
My bro, Thank you for your testimony, The Lord is working in your life right now. I'm so glad that you got a bible as a foundation. keep reading it will mould you to God's will. Please read new testament- Book of Romans - Galatians- Corinthians. Everything will get more clearer. God willing you find a born again Christian Church for your family. Finish all ur prayers in Jesus name. John 14:6 . Keep going bro 🔥✝️ God bless
@@AnewinChristMinistry thank you for this comment and I’m currently on chapter 23 exodus is defo a hard book to read and follow along but I’m doing my best to. God bless to 🙏
@@johnhammond6423 most definitely it’s not but it is a persons experience and if many other people have the same experience then you have to wonder how far coincidence can stretch before questioning it. Atheists have the same right to talk about their experiences as well, the beauty of free speech.
A fellow Christian here 🙌 God has done wonders in my life. Like you I came to a point in my life where I was down and didn’t know where to turn. I’d spent best part of my life raising kids (4 of them) and lost my identity. Anyway long story short and many, many ‘coincidences’ later I was in church and had been filled with the sprit. He made me realise I was not just a mother but I was a mother and my role was vital and important. I have had a total overhaul with my life and I am a completely different person, and definitely more confident. I now work for a Christian charity and get to make a difference in peoples lives, even if it’s just a warm smile. God is amazing. 🤩🙏🏻 P.S I still swear too!🙈 😬 Great video
@@mkjones7603 that’s an incredible story and everyone regardless if they came from a background of faith or not always come to the same conclusion that they have found more reasoning to life. The more beauty thing is that it’s personal to everyone and trailered to them. It’s so good to hear you’re apart of a charity that helps people without the need for something in return, that’s true fulfillment. God bless 🙏
