Kat Von D on Becoming a Christian | Ep 902
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- Today we’re joined by tattoo artist and entrepreneur Kat Von D to discuss her incredible testimony of coming to faith in Christ and her ongoing faith journey. Kat explains her upbringing and how she initially rebelled against going to church because it was only something she was told to do. We take a look at her rise to fame through the shows "Miami Ink" and "LA Ink" and her interest in spiritual practices that were just methods of putting Band-Aids on a sinking ship. She recalls her journey to sobriety and how her husband helped her readjust her thinking on not just her faith but also some political topics. We discuss her viral baptism video, some of the backlash she’s gotten from both non-Christians and Christians, and how she can actually use certain aspects of her life and style to reach those who may feel ostracized by Christianity or “Christian culture.” Then, what would Kat tell those who have questions about Christianity as she did?

Kat Von D on Becoming a Christian | Ep 902
Don’t know if sister Kat Von D will see this but she said she heard more “impressive” or “better” testimonies than she had. Sister, Christ reached down and grabbed a hold of your heart and transformed you into His daughter. That is an INCREDIBLE testimony. You are loved by an AWESOME GOD and that is truly amazing. God bless you
Amen!
what in the world are you talking about ??
did you even see her latest video??
Amen❤
Amen ✨️🙌🏽 sanctification TAKES TIME. The works of God do not happen overnight. God's timing is PERFECT! 🤍
@@appointedaday-ur6stare you perfect? Maybe you should pray for others to reach your level of perfection. Maybe that will make the difference.
I used to be a witch/new ager, addict, sex worker and I had a radical encounter with God when I was suicidal and sitting in my car. I heard his voice say “I have work for you to do.” I never felt as loved or as seen as I did in that moment. Jesus is so incredible
EDIT: there’s a few short videos on my page touching on pieces of my testimony if you’re interested. I’d love to hear your testimony too! 💙💙💙
Hallelujah!! He is so good!
Amen! God loves you soooo much. He will never leave you. In our darkest moments He is there.
God bless you ❤
Praise Jesus 🙌🔥✝️
Whoa... that's so cool.❤ Thanks for sharing!
As a Christian i think its so important to realize.rhat its not our job to "fix" new believers. Its our job to share the truth and share the Gospel. Its The Spirit's job to fix people and we must not judge the journey they are on.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Yes. Thumbs up for you
Jesus commands to pray for non believers
@@milwaukeemotor5995 amen
Though not sure why you are saying that is anyone saying otherwise?
Abraham Moses and Paul did the same
And... it is okay to speak up, when you feel inspired to do so... as you have done, right here!
There is nothing wrong with voicing one's doubts & concerns -- the question is, how to do it!
i recently took down all the music i made over 15 years of being in a LGBTQ / PUNK band because i found the truth in Jesus. this interview is hitting me and i appreciate Kat & Alley for talking about music and its relationship to faith.... thank you both and God Bless anyone out there going through the big changes and grace that Jesus brings to us.
I dunno what you found, but she`s a protestant, that`s not a real christianity, and the REAL christians like catholics and orthodox have no problems with punk music.
Amen 🙏
Praise God! Ephesians 3 20 ✝️
Never knew god doesn't like punk music that you had to give it up to find God hiding somewhere
Bigot much?
As an ex-witch of 22 years and known in the goth world as WackyWitchTV ...it brings me to tears to see my idol in that world, Kat Von D has now given her life to Jesus Christ! I did the same thing and got baptized! Jesus saved me out of the darkness and placed me into his kingdom of light! He is my entire LIFE and my everything! The love we receive from Christ doesn't compare to any other love. Welcome to the family Kat!
God bless you both! ✝️❤️
The problem I imagine you have too is that you can never be too sure if you've reinforced up all of the spiritual attack vectors witchcraft well and truly opened up in you. This is especially true when the joy in Heaven over a converting witch is matched by the rage in Hell over the loss of one, and that Satan and the Dark Angels will fight tooth and nail to return such a convert to the road to Gehenna. The sad thing is that most people don't realise that the reason why the Bible warns against witchcraft is precisely because it opens up direct pathways to spiritual attack in the practitioner.
I don't know how much my doing this will have any authority, being the flawed sinner that I am, and I hope that someone else likes it so that the "2 or more gathered in my name" rule applies, but I would ask Abba Father, that if any demons, dark angels or even Satan himself attempt to harm you or Kat Von D, through any remaining spritual vulnerabilities caused by past practicing of Witchcraft, that they backfire on those dark entities a million times over and that the backfire drive those entities so far from you from the recoil of that backfire, that it forms an impassable gulf between your and/or Kat Von D, which those dark entities can never cross. I ask this in the name of Our Eternal Brother, Lord and Saviour, Yeshua the Christ.
I look forward to meeting you in eternal life, Sister in Christ!
Time will bear this out!
God bless you, Kat! Love hearing how the Lord had moved in your life!!
I found Allie's interview to be grace-filled. I remember what it felt like as a new (adult) believer to be judged by those born in the church. I really appreciated Allie saying we forget that sanctification is a process. Kat clearly said there are things she did before that sicken her now. God is merciful to deal with things in us not all at once. She also said when she goes to church, "I want the Bible, not feel good stories." Our sister is on her way. She needs our prayers for protection over her and her family.
I’m so happy for her. You can just see the peace in her countenance. ❤️🙏
Born in the church? What does that mean?
I assume her parents took her to church when she was little. My grandma took me to church when I was little but became born again at 14. @@amylynnhunt55
@@hopemorrow4244grew up in church and knew the lingo and how to dress and act etc
@amylynnhunt55 It means they were raised in church their whole life, from birth (or really early) so have heard and known about Jesus, about the Gospel, etc. all their life. Can sometimes make it a little hard for them to relate to those who weren't and this new life is all brand new to them. Hope that helps 😊
I used to be a Satanist and GOD CHANGED MY LIFE YOU GO GIRL IM PROUD OF YOU 🎉❤
Interesting. It’s great that you’re happy and Satanism doesn’t sound like a good belief system. Why do you credit God with this choice of yours? Just curious.
It is God/Christ who saves us and brings us out of things and to Him.@@emilyroseayres84
Praise God! Ephesians 3 20 💪✝️
After 40 minutes all I heard was 'me' talk -- absolutely nothing about Jesus Christ.
When she says that she was "fighting tears" in her Baptism... it makes NO SENSE!?!?
That would mean the whole ceremony was staged.
The Lord woke a LOT of us up in 2020. We switched churches. I felt compelled to read the Bible cover to cover for myself for the first time at the age of 50. I used to watch you on Miami Ink with my husband and I remember being so surprised at the light I felt coming from you. I had no idea you were struggling with addiction at the time. I saw the daughter of God in you. I said to my then boyfriend, now husband, “I’ll watch this with you only because for some reason I like this Kat Von D lady.” Congrats on your baptism 🥰. This testimony made me so happy!
Don't let the WEF take us down 😅
woke you up from what? You read the bible cover to cover and you still don't know Christ, enough to recognize that continuing in sin is NOT the picture of conversion?
It really did wake people up
She is living proof why we should raise our kids up in the Faith. She came back to her Faith after being raised to love Jesus.
Amen! This is so true. They come back.
Yes! “Train up a child, in the way that they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6.
What if they’re not elect? Does it matter?
the Bible speaks about this. Raise a child up in the way they should go and when they get older, they will not depart from it.
How I pray people would wake up to that simple premise ! Parents need to STEP UP and get a clue
I wanted to cry when Kat spoke about the congregation saying they had been praying for her. Thats where its at.
Exactly!!!!!!
Me toooo 😭 God is always working
Me too our God is amazing
As an ex new age astrologer, drug addict, stripper and wild woman singer of a metal band, God truly saved and delivered me 8 years ago! Jesus is Lord! God bless Kay Von D for sharing her testimony, it takes a HUGE amount of courage to go against the grain, which is why Christianity is the post modern rebellion.... Go Kat and Allie ❤
Everyday more goths are surrender into Christ, we still dress in black. But now, we live enjoying the sweet love of our beloved heavenly Father.
The news about Kat becoming a sister, it really warms my heart 🥲. Thank you for sharring❤
I love that you still dress goth! As a teenager when I would just wear black jeans and tshirt my dad would already be upset and kind of imply that it's dark and evil or something to wear lots of Black. And I'm not even talking about revealing things or anything, just literally the colour Black. I'm interested in Christianity rn. I'm not Christian yet, but I just ordered a bible so lets see how that goes. I have a lot of prejudice towards Christianity that I'm working through rn, cause I made bad experiences with people who used god or the bible as an excuse to just be really judgemental, mysogynist and hateful unfortunately. I can understand not agreeing with things that's are against your believes, but their are better ways to express that, than what I experienced from some people. Anyways good to know that there are Christian goths!
So wonderfully said,goth is beautiful and God Loves them ...he might not love each individuals decisions but he still loves and wants everyone ! Just remember hell was not made for humans in mind !!
Thank you very much for the delighful messages, in my country Bolivia (Southamerica), there´s actually a goth christian church, and has expanding consistantly to other Latinamerican countries. All the members are goth or similar subcultures and we all family in Christ.
Perhaps we get a lot of critics (to say the least), but we do not focus on that, we try to walk on the understanding of the grace of the Lord, without messing with other peoples life.
We were royalty in the world and now we´re outcasts in the faith community, it´s a price we are willing to pay, that´s not important. For us, the only real tragedy, is to be forced to live in this cruel and horrible world without the sweet love of Christ.
Amén. “Goths” can truly enjoy the fullness of the faith in Catholicism. Look up “memento mori”
I was born in '66. Really kinda too early for the Goth thing. Plus I had to be the good kid because my parents went through hell with my older brother. I do love the punk sensibility and I identify with that. My quiet way to be my own person was to dress in black. My inspiration for that though was Johnny Cash, a rebel but also a Christian.
I'm sure if I had been born 10 years later and had a more saner childhood, I probably would have been a Goth. I'm a night person and my wife jokes and calls me a vampire. I just like the quiet of the night because being a daytimer is not fun. putting up with all the chaos and stress. So yeah, I guess I identify with the Goth culture.
I think this is where Christian parents have failed, not learning apolegetics and/or teaching their children about them too. God doesn't want blind faith He wants us to love Him with our mind as well (Mark 12:30). So happy to see Kat come to faith, praise the Lord.
Yes. As a child.. my family has already stepped away from the church, church hurt, but no one wanted to discuss it. So when I'd go to Sunday school, or church things and ask questions..it was all very .
That's not allowed
Believe what we tell you, questions are a bad thing, stop asking.
So I stepped away
So true. Questions are good because then we can dig deeper into the word and be strengthened in our faith. I don't understand this thing about discouraging questions. The apostle Paul says we should always be ready to give a reason for our faith. So naturally, we should know and be confident in what we believe.
Yes! Apologetics are what brought me back to Jesus and strengthened my faith so much! My mom said she regrets not bringing that into our childhood. She said when she grew up she just accepted and believed so she didn’t really understand how or why I had the questions I did. Now she reads a lot of apologetics stuff and can effectively answer questions others have.
I taught my two kids apologetics. They took apologetic courses during their home schooling years and at church. My daughter participated in speech and debate competitions with apologetics as the topic. Once they reached about 25 years old - they walked away from their once professed faith. One is an agnostic and one is an atheist. Why do I say this? Because parents can do all the right things and the kid still turn away from the Lord. 😢
That's good to know.
That said, has He said, how He felt, about the blood libel, Inquisition, and slave trade, yet...?
Also, what is the latest apologia... on, 2 Samuel 24, out of interest...?@@b_caldwell1057
"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” -1 Samuel 16:7
Happy for her! She's in my prayers
How convenient. 😂
Amen! God's got a grip on her soul, and he's now going to start to pry of the Evil and God knows her heart is Good! 💖
Amen he looks at our heart our flesh is of the earth and only a vessel
Ohh yes he does, People are quoting that as if that means they can sin and get away with it, but that is not at all what it means
Jesus spoke much about it too, it is not some unknowable thing
Out of the abundance of the heart comes out the mouth, a good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree produces bad fruit
and many other things
The Prophets too also spoke of this, you need to get a new heart, purify your heart, cleanse your heart
Jesus said clean up the inside and the outside will be clean also
What that verse you quote means men or the world looks at things like appearance , social status wealth good speaking
Jesus said Judge with righteous judgment
@@Chronicallymanette The heart is a pump made of flesh.
I’m a 6’4” 280 lb man, and this video has me blubbering like a little girl. I actually watched this video while watching LA ink at the same time, and it made me realize how GREAT our Lord and Savior truly is!! It’s obvious she has changed and given her life to The Lord! All she needs is her faith and ALL hater’s need to keep their opinions to themselves. I love you Sister!!
I feel Kat can bring so many people to Christ thru her testimony. ❤
She is speaking honestly, no fake nonsense, no arrogance, just her heart.
Kat Von Delusional. She’s hardly the sharpest needle in the tattoo shop
@@Hairypoppins682 She is a lot sharper than you are I can tell you that.
@@buckjones4901 nice one, mate. 😂
@@Hairypoppins682 thanks Hairy!
Listen, NOBODY can tell me anything bad about Kat Von D., okay? Before I rededicated my life to Jesus, I was pursuing an acting career in Hollywood. One of my side jobs was working behind the scenes on LA Ink, the tv show Kat was on a while ago. And let me tell you, she is truly a kind soul. I was actually surprised she was into dark things because there was something about her that made me feel like she belonged to Jesus😊I'm so glad she officially does!🥰
I never understood her dark side yet her so gentle spirit! She is the sweetest person.
Me too! I always LOVED her! I am an artist and I love dark aesthetics but I also love colorful and bright art as well... Her work was so beautiful to me and she always seemed so sweet! I just came to Jesus this year and I am so glad he brought her a long recently too! She is going to reach so many people from her background to find Jesus! Praise the lord!
WE ALL BELONG TO JESUS..... Sadly most will deny JESUS.
God Bless, hopefully it is sincere. Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
@@mountainmamanirvana31 very true
As a Christian, Kat I cried with Joy watching your baptism. Pharisees still walk amongst us. Keep walking the narrow path to Jesus. God bless you!
What is in youre eyes a pharisee?
Amen❤
a Pharisee is one who beats the sheep with works of legalism in order to keep their salvation. complicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ and confusing the Brethren, leaving them in condemnation and fear that they are not saved and kept by Jesus’ blood for eternity. keep your eyes on Christ.
@@adrianexo21 so you mean you can life like a demon but if you say you believe thats enough. If so then repent thats a false Christ and a false gospel. Repent means turn away from sins and a changed life, john the Baptist told the pharisee show youre fruit of repentance! If i understand you correct John the Baptist according to you is a pharisee and legalist?
@@alexkalfsbeek4371
It is indeed way too early to say anything about her walk with Jesus. We had way too many other celebrities who "came to faith in Christ" like Kanye and Bieber and millions of Christians were greatly celebrating them, only later to see that there was no actual faith at all, they continued to live as wickedly as before.
The dark Gothic look that she has right now is still from Satan and this is why she says that she does not like how Christians like to say everything is from Satan but the truth is, lots of it is from Satan.
Man I didn’t know Kat Von D became Christian. I just found out a few minutes ago. That is just awesome. Praise Our Lord Jesus Christ. ❤ I love it. I needed this. I’ve had a bad day and I needed to see some good news.
Over 2 years ago I still dressed “dark” and did questionable things but I’ve since been convicted of and changed. God sees our hearts and he transforms us a little more every day. It’s important to remind ourselves that everyone’s walk with God is personal, that God sees our hearts, and that the fact that she’s found Jesus should be celebrated. And our faith should remind us that Jesus loves us enough to not leave us where he found us. God has her in his hands 🙌🏻
I’m happy Sauls conversion, he didn’t just kill people less each day. Or the prostitute didn’t continue on a did better each day After Jesus told her “ GO AND SIN NO MORE” he doesn’t want us to continue in our sin. We may fall but we get up and fight the good fight.. vampire love music song has nothing to do with God and shares a different more true testimony about her. What would stop her from Turkey repenting meaning change of mind and not continue with this song.. but you know what she continued. I pray for true repentance I was a false convert for many years and I only wish to warn others.
@@ChamomileMineralthere is a big difference between salvation and sanctification. Believers are saved by Jesus' atoning work on the cross, not their complete turnaround in wardrobe and makeup choices.
@@ChamomileMineral well said!!
@@ChamomileMineral Yet, Paul relates in Romans 7 about his strugles with sin and that he does what he did not want to do, and the good he wanted to do, he did not do.
When did you get saved? It's amazing feeling isn't it?
I love when Kat starts talking about listening to sermons and reading the Bible she has a big smile and lights up.
She really is glowing from the inside out ❤❤❤
Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered in shame. Psalm 34:5
And her whole demeanor is peaceful and wholesome…. the Holy Spirit softens hearts.
Ikr!! She was so excited you could see it so clearly!
Yes. She is lit from within! Amen.
As a person 5 seconds into Christianity, who has so much baggage, new age, occult, spiritualism, etc., I feel like I've missed the boat, that I will never have a good life, a good Christian life, this gives me so much hope for the future. I've been so scared, feeling so alone, unable to relate to anyone at the Church I've been going to, and feeling like an outcast, and I can't tell you how much this helped me.
Thank you so much Kat and Allie.
God meets us exactly where we are! You haven't missed the boat. Sometimes it's good not to fit in with other Christians, especially if they are pharasitical. God bless you on this walk with Him! If Jesus is all you have, then that is all you need. ❤❤
Welcome and you are now an important part of the “body of Christ!” His church!! Nothing before matters!! YOU MATTER! Find a church that makes you feel this way; I will pray for God to bring you friends who uplift and challenge you, without demeaning you!
All sin is equal to God and if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your past sin, is as if it never happened to God!!
2Corithians 5:17
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
No boat has been missed, brother/sister. Our Lord loves us with such an infinite mercy, we can't even comprehend it. I have a similar story and I look a little alt lol so I understand feeling externally like not the stereotypical Christian. You are loved all the same. You are a part of this family, you are not alone, and you are important to Him!
Such a beautiful and authentic feeling. I pray for people just like you, and me. Certainly, us, the outcasts who have this thirst for Church, but the Church has failed and hurt us, know that Jesus is not like that. Church may hurt us all the time, but Jesus NEVER will. If I still go to church, the main reason is Jesus. I no longer care about what people think about the way I look or how I behave. Jesus is always the reason. You will find your way. 🤍🤗
Jesus loves you. Keep reading the Bible, Romans 10:9
The sincerity of her testimony is very uplifting .I can see the seeds of her family’s faith was a part of her life at the time she needed it, and the fact that she new that prying was an important part of her life when she needed it was very encouraging. God is so good .
My heart broke when Kat spoke about the negative comments about her baptism which is something so precious to a believer. I hope Kat will somehow see this message because I want to remind her of what Jesus himself would have to say to her about it.
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.”
and now the christians? are attacking Russell Brand? Wow!! If they saw me when I received Jesus. I was a mess
"Instead of picking us apart I wish people would pray for us" ABSOLUTELY! That's exactly how it should be & how a Christian should react,pray for people. I absolutely love her testimony & I'm proud to call her my sister in Christ ❤ I will definitely pray for her & her family. This is just wonderful ❤
My son’s girlfriend is goth and as a Christian I was so worried about what people were thinking but she is such a nice girl and love her and my son is so happy. Seeing Kat talk about Goth kids coming to her feeling not alone now, broke my heart… I will never be ashamed again nothing but love. Thank You Kat such a eye opener.
That's Sweet ❤
Yes, that's great. We have Jesus as our example and he looks at the heart. The heart is what matters. ❤
@@lifebeginswithaseed this is why it’s so important for people to give their testimony.
Not a Gothic people are Occult practitioners or drug addicts/alcoholics.
But all people need to repent of their sins; no matter if they were raised in the church or even if they're PKs, all people are born lost in sin and are condemned from day 1.
@@beatlesrgear All the types of people you mentioned are qualified to receive our Savior Jesus!! We are born with a sinful nature and are in need of rescuing. Jesus said he came to free the captives, give sight to the blind, and deliver us from sin.
What a refreshing interview! Kat von D is so humble and so non judgmental. God will use her for so much good. ❤
After my conversion I just kept praying for the people I was a fan of. And seeing this interview let's my heart rejoice.
Regards from Germany.
Being able to say "sister in Christ" to you is a wish I had for many years. Thanks be to God!
This is SUCH a good reminder to us Christian’s to CELEBRATE other believers, not judge them. ❤
It’s More than being a believer. Satan even believes in Christ it’s about changing the demonic things in your life . I have not seen her do that yet on her platform
Amen
It's possible to do both, and it's not bad to judge as long as you do so Biblically...which is to aim for being tempered and "fair" and not hypocritical.
You can't properly support and help others if you try not to judge at ALL.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had always shied away from being a Kat Von D fan back in her ‘Ink’ days because of her persona/lifestyle. But, when she posted her baptism video, I cried tears of JOY and celebrated with her!!! ✝️ I saw her genuine excitement when the pastor called her his sister in Christ. Makes me sad that anyone would try to steal her joy.
"I don't want these crutches, I just want Jesus." This is such an inspirational testimony. Welcome home Kat.
Kat Von D's make up is how i came to know her. I have lupus and my skin was in dire need of being covered it was horrific. I went to a mall about an hour away, met this nice girl named Zoe at Sephora and she sampled the the foundation in my face.
That was a literal confidence saver for me at the time.
I came to appreciate her work and the love i felt using her product.
I also happen to live in Indiana and am a a Senior Pastor now. When i found out she moved back here and is saved i say TO GOD BE THE GLORY 🙏🏾. -&. I'm proud of her for being herself ❤❤❤
I thought women are not suppose to be pastors? Let me know what you think…(serious question)
@@charlescharliecharlotte I am. Some religious traditions say no. But God says yes
I’m not a religious person but I’ve loved Kat for a while and I’m very happy for her.
I am sooo proud of her. I used to be a high priest for Satan. Am now a devoted Christian. I now do motivational speeches in university here in west tx
Yes please! I would love to hear your testimony!

What she said…when you can read the Bible as an adult it’s just different it’s speaks to your heart!!! Yes! I’m tearing up 🥹
I totally agree with Kat..although a Christian by birth i fell in love reading the Bible just one year back..🙂
@@jyrwas-dq7lr No one is born a Christian. Baptizing a baby is unbiblical and does NOT make one a Christian. That is heresy. Only thru repentance and surrendering the throne of your life to King Jesus can anyone be saved.
There are lots of people who think they are Christians who absolutely are not, and they are just religious unregenerated heathens playing a mind game.
Totally!
Me too. Tears of true joy
This ‼️
Currently my son is going down the wrong path.
Your testimony has given me inspiration to keep praying for him asking the Lord for breakthrough and for me not give up on my son.
I’ve tried and tried to talk to him explaining that the way he’s going it will only end in tears 😢
But he has his own path to walk 🙏
I’m now 3 years clean and sober and on this journey I had a calling from god saying come to church about 18 months ago my church is eqquipers in Surrey England I’ve been baptised it’s not been all plan sailing my faith journey but I know this is my path now ✝️🙏
God bless Johnny from London England
OMG.... I believe (I'm catholic but love all Christian faiths) Kat will eventually be an ordained SAINT. The most endured, sincere and true are those who travel other roads.... little do they know they ALL lead to our HEAVENLY FATHER. WE ARE ALL HIS CHILDREN. ALL LOVE, SUPPORT AND PRAYERS FOR YOU, KAT!❤🙏
Want to let Sister Kat Von D know that I will be praying for her and her husband. I was a tattoo artist for about 30 years and a drug and a porn addict, the Lord delivered me from all that, I am now a Deacon in my church and even get to preach occasionally. I'm proud of you Kat! I used to idolize you because you are an amazing artist! but I'm so happy to be your brother in Christ Jesus, will be wonderful to see you in paradise one day! God bless you and your husband dear Sister!!
one of my gifts from the Lord is intercessory prayer. In her defense when I first started my walk with the Lord, I was still tattooing, listening to slayer, and sleeping with women, but sanctification is God's work in all of us. it's ongoing. The Bible says God winks at our ignorance, boy was I ignorant! I used to brag about being the worst Christian walking! fast forward to nowadays, I learned to submit Everything to Him, I mean everything! Now I don't watch any secular movies, nor listen to secular music. the music I thought was "boring" hymns and praise music, I now enjoy. I'm saying all this to show that God is working on all of us as long as we want Him too! So we all should keep praying for Kat and her husband. I'm excited to see the hand of the Lord working on folks. and His timing is Always perfect, so we need to trust the work He's doing in her and her husband's life. PNP. love all y'all!
Amen. Great comment
Beautifully expressed Peter.
Really cool!
They needs lots of prayers. 🙏 He isn't on board yet. Her new video on RUclips "Vampire Love" isn't either.
Amen and AMEN
I'm glad she went public with her baptism. It was a public display of her faith in God and her redemption by the blood of Jesus Christ. People are so very public and proud about worldly, wicked things. Those of us in Christ put HIM on display in our lives. God bless you Kat.
@@VoiceOfTruthSpeaks1 Peter 3:21 “baptism saves”
Baptism is a sacrament not a symbol only
We're not supposed to put God "on display" in our lives. Pride should have no foothold on anything we do in God's name.
Im proud to have kat as a sister of Christ. Such a beautiful soul, and I love how authentic she is.
Authentic yeah i'm not sure about that one
Sister Kat has a sweeter heart than some "christians" out there. May the Lord use her testimony to bring many to Himself. God bless you ❤️✝️🩸
Her conversion sounds genuine to me. No one has the authority to judge her heart and baptism. I say welcome to our family in Christ, Kat! 😀 💗 🥰
This is spot on!
I know she is genuine
It’s a beautiful thing to be able to call Kat Von D a sister in Christ! 🫶🏼✝️
RIGHT ? Her story and herself is so beautiful ❤
Does it make us cool now bcz she's on our side? Lol jk!
We are on the winning team because of our lover of our souls, king Yeshua!
👏🏼🙌🏻🕊️
@@jesussaveslivess 🤔 valid point. It's a good heart-search question to ask ourselves to be sure we admire the right person here and the work He's doing in another lost life. We humans are so fickle and easily distracted if we don't keep our armor on. 📖🗡️. Thank the Lord He's still saving souls like only His 🩸 can. 🙌❤️
Right because He loves her goth look and the vampire and exorcist bs on her channel.
@@SO-vd9fl I’d love to hear your story and see how fast your change came. I know God loves her look and everything about her because she came home to Him. What God doesn’t like is your nastiness. Have a blessed night sister ❤️
I'd never heard of Kat Von D until I saw a post on one of my friend's pages, and I decided to look her up. I found a beautiful short clip of her baptism, a few other video's, and this one. I'm so glad I watched this! What an amazing conversion story! She is in a position to be able to share her faith with individuals that many of us would never be able to reach because we can't understand or have empathy for what they are going through. She has been there, and she knows how to reach them and encourage them. Praise God! Thank you for having her on your show because she's an inspiration. I needed the reminder that I should never judge someone by their outward appearance because it's their inner journey that's important and we all need love and encouragement. I'm so glad she has found such a wonderful church family that is so loving and accepting of her, her family, and her friends. This was so beautiful. ❤
That was a great interview! Kat's testimony really touched my heart. I've been lost for alot of years and want that fire that Kat has discovered.
I will never forget feeling Jesus' presence in my car telling me that when I get to know him, I'll get to know me.
It's time that I take him up on it. God bless both you ladies and thanks for the messages that your sharing 🙏
Even though she is covered in black, she is shining the Light of Christ. What a great perspective about not judging outward appearances. God does not judge by outward He looks at the heart. So, thankful for my sister Kat. She is truly blessed and courageous to share her faith with the world.
I agree! She's beautifully shining! And I personally love wearing black.😊
@@sjg5994 One of my favorite colors, and I pray every day that my light shines through. But isn't what we as Christians supposed to do is be forgiving, like our Lord and Savior did for us?
There is an old hymn that says “and they will know we are Christian’s by our love”. Your testimony is beautiful, I am so excited that you are apart of God’s family!
Yes! It also says in the New Testament, “by this shall men know ye are my disciples of ye have love one to another.”
We JUST sang that song like last week in worship at church!
I love her humility. She’s on a journey of repentance as we all are who are in Christ. I may disagree on some things, but we aren’t in the family because we agree but because we have the same father.
I had the privilege of meeting Kat Von D, several years ago when I was working for a frame shop out of Fresno CA. I had the opportunity to travel with my friend to measure a potential painting we were going to frame for her. It was a very surreal experience, she was really down to earth, and gregarious.
She allowed me to play an acoustic flying v, and we were just sitting there chilling, and while she was talking to some other people, I began to fumble around with the notes to fur Elise by Beethoven. She stopped everything looked at me with this gleam in her eye, and acknowledged what I was playing, because she said she was a huge beethoven fan.
I know its crazy, considering how brief of an encounter it was, but when I see her doing big things with her life, I feel like I'm watching a long lost friend, and it fills me with joy to see her happy healthy, and trying to support others.
I’m a very traditional, conservative, evangelical Christian and I thought this interview was beautiful and authentic.
Same!! Pastors daughter here too😊
Evangelicals are not real Christians though, lets be honest.
Thank you for thinking and sharing this, I'm closer to Kat Von D, then traditional, in some ways even more in that direction then her.
I'm trying to find God, and stay with the father when I do see him, but it's really hard, hard to connect, and relate to others in Church.
I am forever grateful for the Spirit Filled Christians who patiently and compassionate hung in there with me as I went through the process of sanctification! I was a handful and a tangled mess back then, lol and still have my moments but I know God had me the entire time!
God has got Kat now; He is in control! I am so happy hearing her testimony now and will look forward to hearing even more as time goes by!
She is thirsty for truth;
Heavenly Father, protect Kat from any one who deliberately or unintentionally speak in a way that the enemy can use against you. Surround her with those who patiently and with compassion, stick around as the Holy Spirit takes priority in her life!!
Amen
@@Tryingtofindmyway I'm glad you aim to get closer to God. Just focus on the Lord right now. Don't worry about connecting with other believers yet or about being similar to them (although it's advised u go to church ) . Grow in your faith first become stronger with God. The rest will come.
As someone who mostly wears all black, has tattoos and piercings, listens to rock and metal music, and very much loves Jesus, I relate so deeply to Kat's testimony. I couldn't be happier to know that she's a sister in Christ, and He shines so clearly in her.
Monks and nuns wear black too.
Hell yeah dude
Yeah I'm tatted up and have a pretty crazy past. People in the Church would judge me just solely on the tattoos and my past. But I know Jesus changed me. I don't need to look different. In fact it helps reach those who look like me that would never step foot in a Church.
Christian and metalhead myself
As someone who has been a Christian for 49 years and have in the past had that “church lady” mentality. (Think Dana Carvey on SNL…This interview was such a blessing. Kat seems to be so kind and genuine, loyal to her friends and so very careful not to hurt others. I love her compassion for those who are not believers. The world is a better place with people like Kat in it.
Kat has been my fav artist for over a decade. This is so inspiring. I'm so happy for her and her family!
When I first became a Christian, the Christian people around me overwhelmed me to a point that had me packing away from the church for a very long time. It was like I was this baby Christian, newborn, eyes open to an entire new world and soaking it in but all my Christian friends were pushing for me to be a senior citizen in Christ over night. Even though they meant well, they pushed too hard and I felt the tender skin of my newborn Christianity was being pecked and clawed to death and there was no where to go but away. God's timing is gentle and He prods us gently by His tender conviction. When it's time to lay another thing down at the altar I find that there is peace about it--and a readiness. If it's hard and you want to run again, then your friends need to be praying for you and encouraging you, not clucking their tongue at you. I just loved listening to Kat. I understand her views so well. We are pilgrims traveling on the same road at differing paces, but we are all heading home.
what are you talking about? But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin- 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. 8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.
I really identify with Kat's journey, I am a UK Tattooist, went through a long new age period in my life searching for Truth, finally finding Jesus and due to get baptised soon. Having knowledge of the occult practices I am in a fairly unique position to see faith from both sides of the fence and recognise the healing power of Christ, my Lord and Saviour. Good on you Kat!
I pray you have a wonderful Baptism. Where abouts are u in UK.? Me & my family are in West Norfolk. My husbands testimony is from Punk to Evangelist. God took us 10,000 miles away to Australia to find Repentance & Baptism into the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep sharing your testimony to those that want to listen. Such power in testimony as it says in Revelation 12:11- And they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their life unto death.
Yessssss!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!!!!!
The Lord will guide you. You are going to be a very great part of the body for Christ to share the gospel of Jesus!
Welcome home friend. We are all so happy to have you and wish you a wonderful baptism.
@@annapeach6718 Awesome, thanks for your kind words and prayers. It is great to hear of other testimonies such as yourselves, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, may He light your way! I am in the Wiltshire area.
I’ve watched her for forever! And when I seen her being baptized and coming back to Christ I cried with tears of Joy! God is so so good, continuing to pray for her and her family!
I did too! As a lost 20-something, I really enjoyed LA ink. I always thought Kat was cool. I’m so happy and grateful about what God has done in her life!
I was an alternative kid from Miami, and Kat VonD was my ROLE MODEL!! It feels like middle school and I’m fan girl-ing all over again! She really has no clue how good her public transformation is for young Christian girls that don’t fit the mold!
@@smileyG305 I always liked her too! I was wearing her makeup line while dating a guy in the "Shiny Happy People" cult. She dressed in a way that resonated with me ❤
She is so humble. I'm really impressed with her. And even though I've been a Christian my whole life, she somehow gave me permission to believe what I believe. Because despite always speaking openly about it, deep down I was embarrassed. Thank you Kat, you lifted a weight off my chest and made me cry.
I appreciate Kat Von Ds vulnerability! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
My heart went out to Kat when she said she wishes people who criticize her and husband to instead pray for them. No one has ever led anyone to Christ with words of criticism or hate. Let's pray for Kat's husband that he too will come to know the love of Jesus in his own personal way! Let's pray for Kat that her life and testimony will serve as God's light in the circles that she's in. I love how there are people from all walks of life who follow Jesus because God's light, through his people, need to get into every corner of this world.
34[Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.”]*
Let’s not.
"No one has ever led anyone to Christ with words of criticism"- wrong and not just semantics, are you kidding me lol.
Amen. ❤
Yes I agree..Praying with you that He will come to know the experience the love Jesus has for him for himself.
Kat has discernment and a level head. She’s not operating on all emotion. Relatable and practical. Praise the Lord! I’m rejoicing for her and her family.
If she has discernment , How is it she has such sexual immorality in her lates video which she is out promoting now?
@@appointedaday-ur6st You can have discernment but still not have been purged from your old sins. You can have discernment and still lack boundaries or even obedience. Pray for her to grow in grace. Pray that the seed that has been sown produces fruits of righteousness and all of the regenerative effects of a new creation in Jesus Christ. When we’re carnal and coming away from the world we still have our beloved sins and we will have to be sanctified and she’s not even ready to separate from old friends. I think it’d be difficult to cut off all those people. Same with addicts and an alcoholic mentality. Birds of a feather flock together. Just keep an understanding and compassionate heart for celebrities that make a public statement of faith. They need lots of prayer and they can use their platform to be influential. She has a heart to see her husband saved and raise her children up right. That’s conviction. It takes conviction and courage to withstand all the backlash from fault finders, doubters, and the Accuser (the spirit that wants to throw your past in your face). She shouldn’t be in a fish bowl but as a public figure it comes with the territory.
She a level of discernment that matches her spiritual maturity. As she continues to grow in Christ and read scripture more, the Holy Spirit will make more connections for her. The darkness that she tries to justify will also be revealed to her in the right time. I’m so thankful for her testimony, I believe she will change the hearts of many.
@@cutieepiee wow what are you saying she is 5?
@@appointedaday-ur6st i just looked up the video and watched it. I see many people dancing in dress up style and often skin tight outfits but I don't see the "sexual immorality" you say is there.
Could you please explain what you mean? Help me understand what it is you are seeing 🙏
I love her joy and peace-filled smile when she talks about starting to study the Bible🥰
I have long admired how raw her transparency is. She’s just so genuine and to see how much her light and presence has always been so bold and intense that it literally intimidates people’s demons, I mean…that’s why she’s KatVonD and she will always be a freakin rock star!!! YOU KEEP SHINING🌟 SIS🖤🖤🖤 No one could ever take that from you. 🫶🏼
You have no idea how relatable this is to me. I have ten tattoos, a questionable past and my sinful nature has ruled me my entire life. I came from childhood abuse, addicted parents, and I made terrible life choices. God was always there. Opening the Bible felt like I was going home when I was 10 years old. Hearing Kat's testimony really helped me understand that a person like me can be truly saved. God is so good. 🙏
i feel you sister god bless you❤
@@luv1430 God bless you too sister ❤
God loves you!!!!! Jesus would leave the 99 for the 1.
Love you sis!
I know what it's like being raised in hell, but now we're born again and we'll retire in heaven!
Jesus Saves Sinners!
Hi Samantha not only are you saved but you are a daughter of the most high God! You are a co heir with Jesus Christ. This means you’ve been given all spiritual authority and power to walk in victory. Also remember that as new creation there is no condemnation for those in Christ. Walk with your head up high and if you stumble repent and move on. He loves you. 😁 Our walk with Him is a journey not a destination. Much love to you sister! ❤
As a Christian Goth, I am utterly delighted by this interview. Kat had such excitement and passion for God and Love for her family friends and other people, I could have heard you guys speaking for a long time. I'm stoked to see what else God will do with and in her. Much Love and many blessings.
I’m curious what is a Christian goth?
Christian goth? By definition, those don't go together
@@Renewed85
That’s not entirely true. Goth is an aesthetic and style. You can absolutely love God and be faithful to God and wear black nail polish and listen to the Cure . Mkay ?
@@Renewed85what do you think a goth is?
I'm curious, can you tell us more about what draws you to the Gothic style?
As a young teen I always thought Kat was so beautiful. I used to pray for her all the time because I never knew where her faith stood. Seeing this has brought such great joy to my heart
Thank you for this Episode. I was in awe when I saw the caption, yet my heart was happy because of Kat found her way back to God. Just like I did. I had, and still have so many questions, but I also went to look for people who were whiling to lisent, answer and pray with me for me to keep listening to His calling. Sobriety also, was a gateway, and to see you two speak in such harmony, is truly a what we need. The perfect example of what is looks like to be followers of Christ. I don't know how this video got into my feed, but now that I watched the whole episode, know that it wasn't an algorithm. I was meant to see it and hear such a powerful testimony. I also found a new channel that I feel Relatable and not so alone on his journey of faith ;)
Idk if she’ll read these comments but Kat mentioned that she sees herself as a “quiet witness” but I hope that she knows, her declaration of her faith, the video of her baptism itself and this interview are the greatest testament and form of witnessing for God/Jesus she could ever possibly display. For her to have such a platform/following and to make her faith public, she has shared her light with the world in a way that is going to impact SO many people that thought they just had no chance of taking this route because of things like their physical appearance or their past. So even if she never talks about her faith again publicly after this, she has made a major impact on an entire demographic of people that may not have been reached otherwise. I feel like God is smiling on her for her bravery in doing that.
Amen
100000000000% He is.
I've always loved Kat. Her style, her personality. As a Christian, Jesus reminds us that people judge the outside, but God looks at the heart. She is awesome. I'm proud of her decision to receive the Lord Jesus. Welcome to the family of God sister in Christ! God bless her!
Amen Jesus taught to judge righteous judgment's not like the world, Out of the mouth the heart speaks, if you clean up the inside the outside will be clean also you shall know them by thier fruits and much more
we do not judge based on weath, if they look good, or have high standing in society
But we know if ther confession is real if they count the cost and follow Jesus and his kingdom or are tangles in the things of this world
I resonate with your perspective of her. Even since I was a teenager, I always was really drawn to her because I thought she was so creative and kind. It was only when I saw some occult-like things in her life (I think around the time of her marriage) that I had dissonance from her as a fan. But look where God has ultimately brought her… Awesome.
She is genetically a he (MTF).
I agree 💜
Jesus' literal quote in John 8:15 to Pharisees, "You judge by appearances, but I do not judge anyone."
Proud of you Kat and offering a rosary prayer up for you and your families protection and spiritual growth. 📿
Welcome, sister. I'm not gonna lie, I was REALLY excited to learn about Kat becoming a Christian. I grew up watching her and really liking her style, so it's amazing to see her come to Christ.
Two things: your husband just gained thousands of prayer warriors! I KNOW his heart belongs to Christ, it’s only a matter of time. ❤ and 2. I was a bit of a silent skeptic and am so glad you shared here. ❤❤❤
Agree, amen!
Absolutely! Standing with you in prayer for this couple. AMEN ❤
Yes, many prayers for you and your husband🙏
As Christians, all we need to know about Kat is her comment "I'm on fire for Jesus". That's good enough for all of us, including Christ.
This phrase alone means absolutely nothing and every born-again believer knows it.
Remember Kanye? Remember how much on fire he was when he came out as Christian? He said that he is Christian everything now. Yet remember the fruit? He continued to be as sinful and wicked as before, fornicating, cursing, singing his old demonic songs and just living his lavish lifestyle as before.
So, no. This one little phrase means nothing yet. Let's be very careful in calling people Christians and celebrating their conversion before we actually see the fruit.
@@nikokapanen82Go back further and a guy named Robert Zimmerman not only was on fire but put out several "christian" only albums and talked as much as performed in concert. Until he got tired of it, renounced his faith and went back to his old Dylan standards.
@@nikokapanen82Kanye is still Christian . No Christian is perfect .. you don’t get to decide who is actually Christian enough for you
@@Kwildcat13
Jesus Himself said, "by their fruit, you will know them". His fruits are very clear, they are rotten and corrupted to the core.
@@Kwildcat13 wow wait are you saying everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian because they say so? Even Jesus said why do you call me lord and not do what I say and again many will say in the last day lord lord and I will say depart from me I never knew you
Thank you for this interview with Kat Von D. I love the light and love she beams in her heart and in her eyes. She is so gracious and beautiful. Glory to God.
I remember praying for her salvation… God be the glory… I knew you would… May the lord keep you always😊
Love her wisdom, she is speaking truth. Many times religious Christians hurt people so much. God looks at the heart.
I agree and people mistake bad or fake Christians (in name only) for Jesus. As a result people reject Jesus for how bad Christians act. It's really sad. 🤦🏾♀️😥
@@TheRealRenn
I agree with you. It's really true that God does the drawing to Himself. This is why I pray for the souls of people I care about. I remember God speaking to my conscience when I was a teen. But, I found out someone was praying for me. So I got saved at the age of 23. 😊 We all should pray for souls. God listens to His sons and daughters when we pray. :)
There are Christians and then there are Christians in name only. A true Christian is one who is truly Born again. Jesus said, you will know them by their fruit. And evening then people are not perfect. Their was only one person who was in this world who was perfect and that was Jesus Christ. Believe in him and we are saved. That is the most important thing.
@@TheRealRenn You're spot on. Very well said 👍
Yeah, that's something I've learned in my Christian walk. These days I remind myself daily to love one another and be a light. I love to see people grow closer in their relationship with Christ.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
As a tattooed, pierced, non mainstream looking person, i so deeply appreciate this interview ❤ I'm a Christian and have felt like i had to dull down my appearance to pacify others who were not sure of me or felt i was not christian enough due to my appearance.
Kat, thank you for your approach and your commitment to still being uniquely yourself while pursuing a life of faith.
You will reach people that only you can because that's what God made you for 😊
Keep serving our Lord Jesus and i look forward to meeting you in the future beyond this life He has for us 🎉
Whoever you are , I want to let you know that, it's okay to dress or be who you are , if your body is fully covered and not adorned with satanic items because Christians come in all shapes,sizes,race,style and personality. For those judging us by our quirkiness understand that,they don't read the word of GOD. It is the heart that GOD sees not our clothes, ofc we are told to be dressed "modestly" ,but that modesty doesn't mean plain white clothes and make a sad face. Modesty is our character,our inward being, in self control, meekness, kindness,loving, patience, understand,wisdom,faith etc, .
Pls help me understand how continuing to dress goth and put videos on your channel about vampires and exorcisms is Christian like? I'm not saying Kat isn't saved but it is unlikely. Also if anyone can pls list all the things that make Kat a Christian?
@@thisnthat7760 it's one thing to have tattoos you cannot remove and piercings you cannot close, its another to continue to dress and wear makeup exactly as you did as a non believer. 3yrs after coming back to God she still looks like a satanist. Not buying her story. Bit like the fraud Kanye.
Be yourself and who you are. You cant control other people and what they think. Meet people where they are. You are a beautiful example of Jesus.
@SO-vd9fl can you please explain to all of us what you classify as Christian and why?
I first learned about Kat when she appeared on Miami Ink and was always amazed with her artwork
She’s so talented and I’m so happy for where her journey has brought her. Her story is very inspiring
One of the greatest talks I've seen. This is the blessing of the internet. So encouraging! I have been a Christian for only 10 years, but I also have lots of friends that aren't Christians, and I am so thankful for our friendship. 🙌
One of my absolute favorite episodes! I have a daughter who grew up always feeling like she didn’t fit in with other Christian girls because she was “edgy.” Well, my edgy daughter loves the Lord, is married with a daughter, and many of those girls she grew up with walked away from their faith. So never judge a person by their appearance because it’s their heart that God cares about. It’s a real shame that a lot of the negativity comes from within our own churches.
I too have that daughter. So many people have written her off. If they only knew her heart and love for Jesus. I pray Jesus uses your daughter and mine to reach those the “traditional church girls” can’t/won’t reach. Blessings my friend.
SO TRUE!!! The Jews expected their Messiah to appear wealthy, handsome, & charismatic, yet Jesus was so poor he was born next to the animals. They said there was nothing attractive about him.
Proof that looks 100% don’t matter
I'm that "edgy" girl that didn't fit in as well growing up. At the age of 33, I look forward to Sundays now.
@@Fruitloop30Amen!!!
I love when Kat says "I can't have even ONE drink!" she's not alone! I'VE been saved for 41 years (1982) and I can't even have ONE beer! so much respect to you Kat. keep it up!
Same! The Lord made it clear to me that He didn’t want me to drink. Not even one. 👏🏽👏🏽
Me too!
That's like most addicts, understandable and very relatable!
Kat, if you see this just know there are wrong people in every group. Thank you so much for your courage to share your beautiful baptism!! It has blessed me more than you can know. I have loved you for so many years and it brings me to happy tears to see you have joined our family. I will continue to pray for you and your gorgeous family. ❤
Hi Kat, I welcome you as a sister in Christ. As to the listening to music issue, I can relate. Since I was a child I listened to popsongs and sang along with them. That's how I started learning English! I even was a singer in a few bands. After I gave my life to Christ, I too still enjoyed listening to the secular music I was accustomed to, and I too didn't really like a lot of the christian hymns at first. However, slowly I got to know christian songs that I did like, or that I already knew, and I started to listen less often to secular music. It also helped to know that a lot of popsongs are written in trance, and they contain spells. Many famous people admit how they made a deal with the devil, and many have Aleister Crowley as one of their idols. If musicians write in a trance, they wake up after 15 minutes and suddenly see a song written in front of them, without remembering they wrote it. Sometimes, if we don't quite understand what the lyrics are all about, there's a good chance they contain a spell. Satan (meaning: adversary) was the leader of music in heaven, where he was called Lucifer (meanng: lightbearer), before he turned against God and was thrown out, so music is his specialty. He knows exactly how to lure people into his trap. We all know how mesmerizing music can be, many people are addicted to it.
Over the years I started to listen less often to secular music, but still I sometimes find myself singing along with a song that I used to like, even one that is satanic in my opinion, and then I ask God to help me overcome it, and to make that kind of music less attractive to me. It happens sometimes without realizing it, Hotel California is a good example. Slowly my taste for music changed, and lately I can't stand to listen to most of the rock music anymore. The screaming and the guitars just hurt my ears. When I was a singer, I endured listening to loud music, but now, when I'm alone at home, I hardly ever turn on the radio anymore, while before I sang popsongs for 2 or 3 hours a day, and the rest of the day I had the radio on or the tv playing in the background. Way before I became a committed christian, I had already thrown out the tv, that is showing more and more garbage, when I started noticing so many things being off in the world. Now I enjoy the silence. I even moved from the city to a small village, to get away from the noise. They say that you become what you see, and that you become what you eat, and you also become what you listen to. Don't worry, as you will grow as a christian, your appetite for earthly things will diminish, your perception of things will change overtime. However, be warned, many 'friends' will not like what you have become. Please, don't let it put you off.
Most people always talk about their feelings, and how you should listen to your heart, but, as Jeremiah 17:9 states, 'The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?' Proverbs 4:23: 'Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.' The more you read the bible and ask the holy spirit for guidance, and the more you pray and talk about God with fellow christians, the more the holy spirit will help you grow as a christian. You will find that, as time will pass, your preferences will change, it's a process, because people are stuck in their ways, it's only logical. And it's important to keep your body and mind healthy, so you can discern things. Mark 12:30: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your MIND and with all your strength.’ He should be the center of your life, but I'll be honest, I too am still working on that.
We are living in endtimes. We can see the world changing: people being lovers of themselves, occultism becoming more normal and being propagated, occultists becoming more open about whom they worship, Gods creation being meddled with (DNA changed), christians being more ridiculed and even hated, more wars and diseases, and more and more natural disasters happening (not all are natural, the governments are manipulating the weather, it's called geoengineering, or solar radiation modification. To prevent global warming, against climate change, so they say). These are the signs, that the end is near.
Revelation 9:20-21: 'The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood-idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.' Luke 21:9-11: 'But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately. Then he said to them: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.' Luke 21-31: 'Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.'
'Ephesans 6:12: 'For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.' 2 Corinthians 4:4: '...the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.'
1 Peter 5:8: 'Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.' Luke 21:34-36: 'But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day (when Christ returns) come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.' Matthew 24:4-5: And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many." Matthew 24:23-27: 'Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.'
God will change your heart, if you let Him. 1 John 5:19: 'We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.' James 4:7: 'Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.' Romans 16:20: 'The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.'
I hope we shall see eachother in the new Jerusalem, after all earthly things have passed. Revelaton 21:5: 'And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
Amen!
When she said “…short lived bandaids on a sinking ship” when she was trying new age practices was so profound. Bless her God. I cannot wait to see how God uses her. 🙏🏼✨
I absolutely love her. She came to my daughter's school and spoke to her class. My daughter was so taken by her. She is truly a gift to the world and to the body of Christ. So grateful for her
I don’t know why “Thou shalt not judge” won’t resonate with some Christians. But Kat von D, you are a beautiful daughter of God. The pull for you by the other side will be strong and will present itself in many ways, even as “Christians”. You are stronger because your strength comes from Christ. You are loved by many Christians, don’t forget that!! ❤️
I’ve always loved Kat since Miami ink days! So happy for her and her new journey with Christ ❤
I always KNEW Kat Von D would come back to the Lord. I remember her tattooing people and listening to their stories about God, and i could tell it was soaking in, and shed eventually be open to it ❤️
God the Father's faithfulness in her life.
I was baptized October 29, 2023. One of the best decisions that I have made in my adult life. I celebrate Kat's baptism and dedication to follow Christ!
Congratulations! ❤️
Congratulations Glory to God!!
God bless you, Sister Sabrina!!! ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏼
Welcome to the winning team my fellow sister in Christ! We are so happy to have you.
2:08 Amén 🙏🏽 ❤🎉 Congratulations!!! 🎊 May the Holy Spirit guide you always in the name of Jesus 🙏🏽💕
Just full of light, love and life! Thank you for sharing Kat Von D!!! LOVE this interview and your journey with Christ
"I know that you're not perfect, but I love the light that you have." Amazing statement!
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
I idolized Kat as a teen and as a new Christian myself (almost 2yrs) it’s so cool seeing her faith journey too. I’ll pray for her and her family ❤
❤
I hope she will receive more revelations from the Holy Spirit and open to God showing her the truth about Halloween…because it is a dark celebration.
I would love to see her grow more in the Lord and make worship songs as She falls in love with Jesus.
when she said “i’m on fire for Jesus,” I got goosebumps! what an amazing testimony, love sister Kat!
Jesus is a hipster now?
What I want to know is why is this fake Christian Podcaster running ads for sex toys during this video. Not making this up. Ad break asking if my wife only takes care of me on my birthday 🙄
When she repents from all the sexual immorality in her recent music videos then we can talk about how on fire she is
Till then I can only hope somone will warn her about the fire she and the multitude of Idolatrous Christians' is awaiting them as the end of the wide road they are on
@appointedaday-ur6st it's not Kat vod D running the ads it's the other girls show. She's running the ads
@appointedaday-ur6st also it disturbs me that you speak of other people being tortured in hell like it excites you in some sick way. Maybe you should pray about that or you'll be right next to her if God's that strict
I never leave comments on videos, ever. I had no idea who either one of you were and the video just came through my feed.
What an excellent, honest, touching interview. Both of you ladies display through actions and words what being a TRUE Christian is all about!!
KAT- thank you for the reminder to not judge because you never know what people are going through. KEEP EVANGELIZING YOUR WAY!!
So much love to you both.
I’ll admit that I came to this channel because of Kat but I was very impressed with this channel and the obvious love you have for Christ. I am now a proud subscriber. Thank you for everything.
Kat was nervous about giving advice at the end, but honestly she nailed it. Our faith is foundational, factual, and objectively true. It is not a "feeling," nor, as as an atheist once told me, is it an "assumption." It grows based on what we know about God through Scripture. Praise God for His miraculous work of regeneration in Kat!
Two authentic, beautiful Christian women having a conversation about faith and living for Christ and sharing it with us all. Thank you Allie. Thank you Kat.
I love hearing her life story. Thank you for sharing, Kat, and Allie Beth for this interview.💜💜
Kat von D I have been following your conversion because I was also into a new age Christian mess! I love you I'm praying for you and I am so excited to see all the people you are going to help change for God's glory! You go LADY!!! now sisters in Christ LOVE IT
There does have to be a point where evil is called evil and the occult is called out as being of satan. I am so happy to hear of her conversion to Christianity. I pray her husband makes the same decision soon. She seems like a lovely person and I pray she grows closer to Jesus everyday. We all need Jesus.
Yes !!!
Amen 👍🏻👏🏻
Amen, I was thinking the same thing.
As someone who spent a lot of time watching Kat in her various tattoo shows, always highly impressed with her artistry- I had tears of joy in my eyes watching her be baptized. What a blessing, Glory to God!!!!
That should be our reaction to anyone being baptized! Adding to the family of God!✝️🕊💜
Me too!!! Praise The Lord🎉❤
dear sister Kat Von D,
I caught a few episodes of LA Ink years ago. I have been a Christian for over 30 years. I was blown away and VERY humbled by the testimony of your conversion. Sometimes we expect it to follow a specific format but then, one cannot put God in a box. I wouldn't call myself judgmental but there're some physical things i'll never touch because i have understanding of spiritual matters having come from a lineage of sorcerers. That is why I shudder when I see christans mess with them.
However I see that God works in different ways in different people. He is the One Who determines when the next level of growth should be and what it involves for the convert AS LONG AS THEY'RE IN THE RIGHT CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT.
I have been at crossroads in my life where just quoting scriptures was no longer sufficient. i learned how to fight the hard way, by being thrust into spiritual warefare.
I am very blessed by your testimony, and rejoice in your conversion to Christianity. Thank you for sharing.
God bless Kat von D that she can walk the walk. Believing is the easy part, rearranging your life into newborn obedience is where that narrow path begins. Get ready for a difficult yet wonderful journey!
