Thank you so much Bracken and Linsey. Bracken I saw your testimony. It was so good I want you and Linsey to know your music has been a staple in my walk with Jesus. I came to be a believer in 2016. My Saul experience was to amazing and since I’ve set myself apart. It has been difficult but the Lord He is so good and I find such peace now. I wasn’t raised in any church so no background. So when i kept reading and studying the Bible it dawned on me many Christians have probably never read the Bible for themselves. Jesus words will change you He is amazing.
I believe you all and your music have been a blessing to many who are walking from their slumbers.
God bless you both for your service for the Kingdom. Hallelujah
This is such a wonderful testimony of how Jesus has saved these two people! I love to hear testimonies of how God works in our lives to bring each one to Himself. Thank you so much.
I'd like to add, the "prayer book" visuals you have at 32:20min is in fact POLISH language not German. Just FYI. 😉
How may we contact these brothers and sisters? I'd like to send them a card or possibly speak with them. Thank you!
Glad you are searching for truth❤. Look into the commandments deeply.
I am Chinese. 19 years ago I received Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. Now I have true peace, joy and the assurance of salvation. Hallelujah. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.
May the Love of Jesus bless you brother
@@acolley2891❤❤❤❤❤
Amen brother!!
Ni hao brother. Its refreshing to here about Asians in majority atheist/buddhist countries accepting Yesu as Lord and Savior. May God continue to bless you
BTW Im Spanish but last year I was learning Chinese history and I came across how China's language is rooted from the Book of Genesis.
Greetings to you brother. Asian people are so beautiful. Their customs and manners and behaviour. Generaly speaking very hard working. Humble and sweet and courtious and kind and hospitable. I thank God you came to faith in Jesus 19 years ago. Oh, my name is Greg. I am learning Russian, but also want to learn Chinese and Korean. My ancestry is Ukraine, Poland, Hungarian, Israel(Hebrew). You are a beautiful person in Jesus. Have you heard of the heavenly man, brother Yun? Have you heard of Paul Hattaway books called "China Chronicles?" Please excuse this English version --
"Knee-how" and "shishen." Lord bless, keep, and protect and strengthen you and your family.
I am Pakistani christian I admire lots of things which is very good in Amish community I pray they all come to know Jesus fully in Jesus name..amen
God bless you dearly Brother 🙏 !
It is so wonderful to have people from all nationalities that God made coming into the real body of Christ by the holy spirit ! Thank you for your testimony
Please read my comment. God bless.
Amen. God bless!
Amen! In Jesus name!
I grew up Buddhist and was 35 when Jesus saved me and came into my heart and gave me a new life, in Christ, and a new mind. My mother demanded I deny Him immediately or she would disown me. I told her to deny Him would be like trying to deny the air that I breathe, it's just not possible. She disowned me but that only lasted a few years. :)
Praise God for your salvation story. So sorry you had to go through that. Glad you held firm. Sounds like things are a little better. Hopefully she comes to God soon.
PRAYER for PROTECTION and PRESERVATION in Times of War, Inflation, and Uncertainties.
The Victory in The Blood of Jesus Christ
is The Only Total and True Victory available for mankind from God in this earthly pilgrimage.
Whoever Inherits This Very Victory in The Very Blood of Jesus Christ, will be in Divine safety and in God's Victory in the seasons and paths to come.
This is The Good News of Christianity about the Wholesome Power and Victory Available in The Blood of Eternal Covenant of God.
Blood of Jesus is The Life of Jesus.
This Blood is Available Today in Covenant for anyone in a Daily Prayer Relationship Life with God.
Even Abel's Blood is Crying till Today after many millenniums. (Hebrews 12:24)
The Very Victory in The Merciful Blood of Jesus, Speaks God's Mercy, Protection, Covering and Guidance for the child; that will inherit It's Paradise Power through the Daily Prayer Cry.
Yes, Cry to The Lord All Day with Sincere Thirst and Hunger for The High Priest to Sprinkle The Blood of The Covenant on your spirit, soul, body and your family; and all things in your life, for His keeping.
Would you Thirst to Thirst for This Need?
You can be a priest before The High Priest and Request This Mercy for your family too. (Like in Job Chapter 1)
This is The Very real Need for any one of us.
There is no greater Honor and Protection for a child than For God's Blood To Be Sprinkled (1 Peter 1:2) on Them Continually and Ongoing, through a Prayer Relationship.
Those who have Full Clinging Faith on Jesus Christ and His Blood Alone, as being all-sufficient, Daily Medicine for Spirit, Soul, Body; will inherit This Victory in The Blood's Merit and Power, as Gifted from God, to the Thirst-filled, persistent child; who Prays on The Merit of This Power , Daily and often.
Those Who Inherit The Power in The Those Words
"THERE IS ABSOLUTE VICTORY IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST"
Will Surely Walk in God's Victory.
Divine Protection Will Happen for them.
This Word Is Coming from God's Tender Heart Right Now. It is The Heart of God that People Thirst to Thirst and Long for His Blood Daily and All Day.
Is He Getting His Thirst Filled?
Won't the Child ask the Lord Jesus, What is His Thirst and what will be pleasing for Him to see in our daily walk.
God is Faithful and talks Plainly, on The Highest value of respect and Adoration, Due for His Living Blood.
Yes, we ought to Thirst for His Blood Daily, as The Highest Regard of our Life (John 6:53-55)
"This Power is In The Living Blood of Jesus and is Available in a Daily Prayer Cry for The Child. This Power Remains The Mercifully provided Paradise Wellspring of Divine Healing Protection Balm for any nation (family, church etc.) or anyone who humbles themselves to The Source of All Blessing,
Protection, and Preservation; ALL through His Holy Blood, She'd for our Total Redemption...
As a Heavenly Father, Who Paid such a High Price. He delights When we Thirst for His Provision of The Blood of Jesus. In this way Keeping His Eternal Blood Covenant, in Every thought and need of our Days."
God's Whole Desire is for homes in all nations (individuals, families) to Cry, The Battle Cry: VICTORY IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS ____for Daily Blessing, Preservation of their spirit, soul, body; for The resounding Thanksgiving to God. This alone Will Surely Bring Glory to The Blood of Jesus, as The Lord Expects it. This is our only medicine: which is provided to us, only through a contrite prayer union.
God Will be Glorified in Those Thirst-filled Children.
God Will Preserve them in the day of Dangers.
Victory in The Blood of Jesus Christ is The Trumpet Cry that Will Break the Jericho Wall (Joshua 6). Surely nations, families, and individuals run into Jericho Walls; hence this Holy Battle Cry has to go across all homes in all nations.
When The Cry for Victory in The Blood of Jesus Christ rises up in a home, God’s Light Will Come in and darkness depart; and True Protection Happens for God’s Glory, because this home now has a continuous, and daily Thanksgiving Testimony ; for the Holy Power and Care of God, Provisioned for them, through The Victory in The Blood of Jesus Christ (Rev 12:11)
The Power of This Totally contrite and sincere plea; through the Words "Victory in Blood of Jesus Christ" Will Protect each Soul and That is True Protection.
May this Truth of The Lamb of God, Root in each one of us.
When One, Holds On To This Eternal Remedy of God; all Fear Will have to go away and The Very Victory of God placed in the midst of us, in and Through the Mercy of The Blood of God. This is The Surety of God's Own Anchor for The Child; Who Adores and Hides in The Blood of Jesus Daily.
For Those, With a prayer heartbeat similar to the exposition provided above, which pleases the God Of All Righteousness beyond measure; Our Triune God Will Place and command, The Refuge and Support of His Blood's Protection, to Enter into their lives and Cover them, with His Favor.
Biblically, ftom God's Heart Perspective , This Grace Gift of the Divine Shelter is attainable and available to any with Thirst to God as in Isaiah 44:3.
These Children Cherish and Hide in The Blood of Jesus, with a Deep Respect to their God. This indeed is True Faith That Moves God. In The Bible, God Rewards Himself and All of His Treasures to a child; who expresses Total and sincere Faith to Him. May The Good news of the Lord Spread All Across the lands to any suffering nation, family, or individual and especially in Ukraine.
Even right now there is a bible being written about all of us, through Angels. Should that Surprise us? Both God and Heaven are interested in God's Kingdom; all the while Transforming and protecting those who entered The Refuge of God's Blood. There Testimonies will be recounted on the Judgment Day for God's Delight.
Let’s Run to This Eternal Mercy of God. May those testimonies "about individuals and families who have come into the wholesome protection of His Blood, which neither them nor the world can provide" cherish His Heart.
Will you be found living and basking in This Free Grace Available for anyone? Let's be in Awe of our Creator and fall at His Feet in Contriteness and in Thanksgiving, Hiding in His Safety, in and Through His Holy Blood!!
Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace;
@@lufhopespeacefully2037 Because it doesn't? I'm not sure of the purpose of your question. However... Father, Son and Holy Spirit do appear in the Bible (and in my life) and for that I am eternally grateful. btw, when anyone refers to the Trinity, I know exactly what they mean. :)
Amen! No turning back! Why would we ever want to return to the pain that rebellion brings?
I am a born again Amish man with a family of 6 children, i am a member of the old order amish church and by the grace of God am surrounded by God fearing brothers and sisters who have been an inspiration to me. I have never experienced what you shared so it is obviously not the same in every old order amish church. We have small group bible studies bi-weekly and everyone is very open to the word. Yes, you can be amish and saved. FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. EPHESIANS 2 8&9 AMEN....
Praise the Lord for your testimony!
May God abundantly bless your family and congregation!
... And see you in Heaven!
How are you using electronics then? I thought this was not allowed by the Amish church. Obviously, some of this is what I have heard and not throughly studied it out.
So you people are basically like Haredi Jews
HalleluYah!!! So glad to hear this.
@@MathewBebout unfortunately there is a lot of misconception about the Amish, it varies a lot from one congregation to another, from one community to another. We are a human people same as everyone else.
I was raised in the Amish as new order. My story is very similar, I left just this year and my boyfriend and I are getting baptised in a few weeks in the church we go to. For me it was the same way.. I wanted to pursue Jesus and find the real truth, and when I did, it was not what I was expecting. I'm so happy to hear of Amish who turn to Jesus. ❤
God bless you 💚
I meant I was old order, sometimes I get mixed up. 😉
Praise the Lord. God bless you ❤🙏
I thought Amish were Christian? And what's old and new order?
Just keep studying the Bible prayerfully and you will grow spiritually and closer to Jesus. He will never leave you and the Holy Spirit will open new truths to you every day. Feel free to ask questions and ALWAYS ask to be shown the answer in the Scriptures. God bless you.
“He renewed my mind and there was no way I could undo it.”
Amen 🙌🏿💛
Mine as well! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Right??!!! Amen indeed! Blessed is the Father!

I AM SOOO BLESSED TO HEAR THIS COUPLES BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONY. I became a born again Christian when I was 16. The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and I thrilled every time I hear God working in other peoples hearts 💕 I am now 63 and still seek out God’s truth❤
Glory to God for you! Keep walking in the light of the Lord. 😊
Prayers for continuous growth in Jesus.
Have you found the Sabbath truth?
I am a 72 year old widow living in Ohio. We have a lot of Amish in our area and as a Christian I have been curious as to what they believe. This was so encouraging to hear first hand from someone who has left that lifestyle to follow Jesus. Perhaps God will give me opportunity to share Christ with an Amish person. Whatever be His will, may we serve Him as a light in the darkness.
I also live in Amish country in Ohio. I would say to Amish when I would deal with them, God Bless. Boy did I get a cold shoulder from them. This seemed strange to me because I was told that they were a FAITH based culture. I can't believe that now that they are a faith based culture when they don't know Jesus, Our Heavenly Father. So what are they believing in ???
@@kathysyphrit5713 believing the rules will save you and being separate from the the world. I grew of up in old older Mennonite they are similar. We had more modern things. As a little girl when someone said God Bless you I took it as they are worldly. These things I don’t think they even had to say it was just a silent understanding. I grew up thinking anyone that didn’t go to our church wasn’t saved. I know now that is not true. There is a lot of hurt and pain that goes on in the plain communities. It’s more about serving man than Jesus😢
You must live near Holmes County.
Just remember, many from different denominations will make it to heaven, peoke who go to church, and people who dont. Everyones walk with christ is different. We may see people from different backgrounds, religions, cultures, everything....even see murders or even pedophiles who have truly reoented. It's truly a walk with Jesus and yourself and heaven. But fellowship is very important. But many will go yo heaven, even ones we don't think who will make it.
@@bellalove3097 Like I said I now know that!
Thank you for your beautiful story. I'm 56 years old and have been praying for 32 years for my husband . Please pray that he will come to know Jesus.
I just want to say don't lose hope it took 30+ years of prayers to get me to Jesus. My grandmother and mom is not here to see her prayers answered but Jesus still answered and came and got me. So please do not lose hope. God is a miracle worker and he has a way of reaching us at our lowest and worst. Keep praying and i will pray too.
Praying now.
I know how you feel, I prayed for mine for 22 years. I was ready to kill him.
many are called but few are chosen
@@johanconradie2120 Yes, sadly, many do not answer the call of the Lord. Which is what that means. God breathes life into us and if we are breathing, then he is giving us a chance still. It is not to late for her husband. Took my daddy and pawpaw both over 50 years to come to the Lord. We are to encourage 1 another and to pray without ceasing.
When they said they were encouraged to read their bibles only on Sunday, that resonated with my Catholic upbringing.
When I started going to a church where the Bible was taught verse-by-verse, I couldn’t get enough of the Word. I’d read further at home and was told that the church taught it was dangerous to do so because we would misinterpret scripture. That it needed to be read and explained by a priest.
If a place of worship discourages the reading of God’s Word, see that as a red flag. Get out and seek the God of the Bible, not the god of the pulpit.
I had the very same experience with my church which said they were nondenominatial . They had small home groups for what they called bible study, but the materials they were handing out were not bibles, they were the variety one would find in a "christian bookstore" by people were famous for books they had written. After maybe 5 of these so called bible "studies" we realized wait a minute, we are not studying the word of God, we are studying self help fluff written by mere men and women. So, we told our church (there were about 15 in our small group) that we were going to study complete books of the bible including old testament prophets and writings as well as New Testament including Revelation. They told us we were "rogue" and that we were causing division and that we should stop. We did not stop, instead we left that church , many went to old school Calvary Chapels as we all desired to study the word both Old and New book by book, chapter by chapter, line by line. I still all these years later only study with teachers that approach the bible that way. My first Pastor that I found online was Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills CA, and from there I have now ten or more old school Calvary Pastors that I study with online. I have not found a church where I moved to that operates only from the bible, so I have not been to a church now for almost 9 years. I miss the fellowship greatly, but with the Covid thing and the fact that we had cancer treatments going on and we are not young, I wanted to go out publicly as little as possible and I still have no desire to go out even if they were a bible teaching only church near.
@@claudiadickerman4218 thx so much for your honesty. I think many are in this same or similar "boat". The enemy wants to keep us from being salt & light to others. Let's pray that we can know the next step of faith for our lives. Let's watch for it as we pray, & step into it when God reveals HIS PLAN. Amen
Interesting in that everyday in mass there are two readings from the Bible in the Catholic Church. All laity are encouraged to read the Bible and pray everyday, even three times a day. The Vatican II council changed the traditional liturgy and practices. There are traditional Latin mass communities still adhering to the true faith and magisterium. SSPX is one of the priestly orders still serving communities and offering the Latin Mass and traditional dogmas.
@@claudiadickerman4218 Lovely testimony but keep praying for a church. You need to go out and spread the gospel. When I was hungry you gave me to eat (,man shall not live by bread alone) when I was thirsty you gave to drink (it is not only water but the water Christ talked about to the woman at the well. How are you ministering the gospel I wonder? Don't feel judged but I am just interested?
@@claudiadickerman4218 hi there, glad that you have been receiving bible studies, teaching, etc, online but just wondered if you have any face to face contact with other Christians & if you may have come across this scripture in Hebrews 10:23-25, about 'And let us hold fast the confession of our hipe without wavering for He who promises is faithful, And not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, but exhorting one another and so much the more as you see tge Day approaching." (KJV) - like the sharing of love for one another in Christ thru manifesting of itself in works of love & gathering together in His name, especially in the light of His imminent Coming.
I hope you can check this out? God bless your precious journey in Christ!! Amen!! 😊

Hi there friends my story is similar,
I am 68 years old oldest of 4 children born Jewish and Bar Mitzvah, however at 14yrs old I was fortunate to have a friend also born Jewish who had found the Lord and witnessed Him to me.
I knew it would be difficult for my family to accept however I desperately wanted them to know the love and joy that I had found in Christ and to fully know our God.
They did not see it the same way.
Two years later at age 16 they kicked me out of their home telling me I was dead and no longer had any parents brothers and sister or family. This was not what I wanted however I had no choice any that day forced from home I left with almost nothing to follow the true Messiah, my Lord and Savior learn the scriptures.
I had to leave school and get a job , and that summer became a missionary lasting 3 years in N Dakota and Idaho (USA)
It has been 54 years now and I continue to walk in and manifest the Spirit, learn and teach the scriptures applying them daily in my life.
Iv had many things happen but in all things God always provided never let me down.
My own sister and recently her son eventually found the Lord as well. Iv heard aunts and cousins iv prayed for all these years have alsocome to the Lord which I am so thankful for along with many iv witnessed to as Christ's Ambassador.
I want to encourage you to continue learning and growing in your believing and studying God's rightly divided Word with others you meet along the way.
There is much joy in Christ, His Father God and manifesting Holy Spirit.
Our God is so good!
Bless your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus!
Thank you for sharing your story on RUclips.

Beautiful witness...have you ever been a missionary to Israel..
Amazing testimony sir, same here I got kicked out of my parents home also,I had packed a small bag, I had a job, but I had no place to stay. But I had Jesus and He showed me what to do, he walked with me during those times ❤

This sounds so much like what I went through when I left the JWS after which I was in the wilderness for over 20years. Jesus found me there and I’m saved and loved and his Word is alive in me.
"The 666 man will come out of the church and announce he is a homosexual at a pageant." God and Jesus (see Daniel 11:37 in the Douay-Rheims Holy Bible; next closest KJV)
You made a hard decision to leave but you were right. Any religion that says that you must subvert your life to any earthly “ pope, prophet, president, elder is misleading you. The Bible which, if you research it, there are a huge amount of manuscripts that are virtually the same as the original Greek and Hebrew. When tradition, or leadership become more important than the Bible you know you are in trouble. Jesus is the ONLY intercessor or priest that you need. Keep reading your bible, then you will recognize when someone is misleading you.
i was also raised as a JW, most of my family still is, but it was Jesus that saved me - saved me from being baptized in their "church", saved by reading the bible and further trusting that our Creator would show me what i needed to do for HIM and for me to live a life prayerfully doing the next right thing. for over 45 years i have been led through love and prayer - two things i seldom saw as a child or still even now in some of my family. i continue to pray that all may find the peace and joy only found in our Savior!
I received a brochure in the mail this week from a JW church. What shocked me is that they quoted Bible verses from both the old and New Testaments. I didn’t think that they read the Bible, for sure not the New Testament. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that it was from a Christian church. I’ve noticed that with a couple of false religions, how they try to look like a Christian church when they are far from it. Mormonism and Christian Science have tried similar approaches.
Halleluja Andrea 🙏💝
What a beautiful couple. The light shines brightly through them. God bless them and guide them, give them wisdom and discernment, wherever He leads them 🙏
Beautiful story! Glory to the Living God! Jesus!! ❤❤❤❤
Blessings from South Dakota 🌷
What a blessing to hear their testimony about their conviction toward JESUS!
Amen.

I am very happy for this couple I live among many Mennonites, there are not many Amish here. But the Mennonites live a very similar life. I always wondered what their message was to share with the world about Jesus. You do not join their Church. They live a very private and hard life. I attended one wedding, it was strange with very little happiness and not too much happiness. I am thankful that this young couple has found Jesus : they are not in bondage anymore

@@laurieleone7476I’m curious why you made this comment. How does it relate to the original comment? Also, I looked up your reference in that translation (never heard of it before) and it does not say even remotely what you quoted.
Only very recently have I fully understood what it means to be equally yoked, even as believers. It's very clear from this precious couples' testimony that they are indeed equally yoked. What a precious gift from the Lord ❤

May the Lord continue to guide you as you continue to keep your heart surrendered to Him. Thank you for sharing your story. I an a Christian who taught school for a branch of Mennonite for 3 years. For school training I got to stay in an Old Order Mennonite's home my first year of 2 weeks training and in the second year I stayed in an Amish home. I am thankful for the experience with them. Such hardworking people. I truly believe that some were truly followers of Christ, while others were followers of tradition and legalism. I could teach the Bible to them each morning, pray for them and with them for morning devotions, but had to agree not to give them an invitation to invite Christ into their life. I agreed to do that, but I did teach them the Gospel, told them how to invite Christ into their life and that they could invite Christ to forgive them of their sins at any age and from any place, while in bed or in the barn; but I did not lead them to accept Christ as their personal Saviour. I did tell them my testimony of giving my life to Christ as a wee child and rededicated my life to Christ as a young teen and was baptized as an older teen.
Yes, but that’s also glory to Jesus
Because they weren’t before, right?
@@sharonhart9131 thank you for sharing this here.
I'm not amish my lifestyle was the exact opposite I was a career criminal. And people might think it was a small thing to forsake that lifestyle becauae it was bad (but to me it wasnt to me I had money power and respect) and follow Jesus but no, I had to leave practically everyone and everything behind to follow Him. The great news is there's no better Path to follow. He is The Way. Thank you Jesus! Your story really blessed me. It's amazing how The Lord calls us from all these different walks of life to follow Him.
This is such a powerful interview!!
Their hunger and thirst for truth is honorable and should be an inspiration to us all to seek Jesus!

So everyone believes their church is the chosen church/religion. Very confusing, seems like it’s all just mind control and money.
"He is no fool to give up that which he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose"...Jim Elliot. Wow! This young couples' testimony gave me goosebumps...they gave up everything they had ever been taught or known...and gained "above all they could ask or think!" Thank you for sharing their inspiring testimony!
I haven't watched the video but am very confused. Amish are descendents of the Anabaptists, members of the "radical reformation ". Yes they went too far in quite a few ways, but the original intent was pure. I consider authentic Amish and Mennonites my brothers and sisters in Chtist
@@foodforthought8308 once you watch the video you will see why. What this couple said they got kicked out of the community for professing Jesus. The Bible says if you don’t profess Jesus in front of man then Jesus will not profess you in front of the Father. The Amish are a cult. Their religion is works based like they said in this clip.
@@foodforthought8308There are many different groups of Amish with their own ordinances and differences, many just living lifestyle, but not born again. Being born in Amish or in Christian family does not make one automatically Christian, each person needs to know and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.

What an amazing testimony, this verse comes to mind.
"If you come to me but will not leave your family, you cannot be my follower. You must love me more than your father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters-even more than your own life! Whoever will not carry the cross that is given to them when they follow me cannot be my follower."
Luke 14:26-27
I can't imagine how hard that must have been to leave your family and everything you have ever known to follow Christ. May he continue to bless you on your journey and in your ministry.
This interview of conversion to Jesus Christ was a Great Blessing to me. It was a great testimony of how Jesus works in our lives. I had Christian parents and gave my Heart and life to Jesus at 7 and now thank you Jesus I’m 73. I pray God will continue to bless this family and use them to further the Kingdom of God!

I can relate with you, coming from a Hutterite colony. Similar but different when everything you have, belongs to everyone else, community living. When we’re excommunicated for followers of JESUS CHRIST, we had nothing to call our own, we had to leave without a cent to our name, that’s where Faith & trust really it’s tested,to stand strong on what you believe is the truth . Thank you LordJesus for counting us worthy, HOW COULD we EVER turn BACK 🥰🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
God bless you abundantly.
You were brave and
your faith was strong.
You saved your souls! ✝️
Hutterites, Amish etc are cults. Most religions are
Please be careful using emojis, they’re demonic. God Bless
Jesus is expensive. He's costs everything He's worth it all.
I am Pentecostal, and I believe the only way to go is by following the word of God, but to follow to word of God you have to know the word of God. Jesus is the Word. It's not "religion" that saves us, it's Jesus. Thank You so much for sharing this, it is such a blessing to see & hear. Your growth, your baby steps, from reading the word, to communing with God. Praise God!
Amen. Only Jesus is the Way.

I was Pentecostal but YAHSHUA came to me i a dream and saud: "GO TO MY PEOPLE"
Tha was 32 years ago.
I never looked back.
The Word of God says, "Remember the 7th day....
What a blessing to hear of religious Christians come to personal relationship with Christ.Being born again is such a privilege and blessing .What a glory that we were chosen before the foundation of the world.(Ephesians 1 : 4 ) Hallelujah.
“It’s NOTHING we do. It’s ALL Jesus!” Wow! This could only be insight from Christ! Praise God!
Jesus finds us no matter where we are in life. Thank you for sharing this couples journey in how they found Jesus.
Amen, that is because he “Chose us in him before the foundation of the earth.”
Amen
Amen.
What a beautiful testimony~ I've communicated with a young Amish girl once when I was on vacation. I was at her family store in KY and bought a Bible devotion. She commented she has been meaning to buy it and read it too. I asked if she read the Bible daily and I was stunned when she said no. Which included more conversation, but because other Amish entered it ended abruptly. I often think of her and pray she comes to know Jesus and his truth. Thank you for sharing.
I was surprised when witnessing to an Amish couple that they didn't seem to have any knowledge of what Biblical salvation was. I think they were all caught up in lifestyle and tradition.
@@ScottPalmer-mp1we I agree. They've gone by the way of the Pharisees, but they wouldn't even know because they're biblically illiterate. =(
@@BookZealots Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. Mark Hemans\\
@@ScottPalmer-mp1weyes. It’s the same with Jehovah Witness. They are all caught up in the cult and what it tells them to believe. They even think they replaced Israel!! NO! Give those people Isaiah 43:10-12 and Isaiah 9:6-7. For them to realize that Jesus is God shown to us in the flesh. That part of their translation hasn’t been tampered with. Their John 1:1 has Jesus as a god. Not God!!! Those verses among others will help them know that their John 1:1 is not correct
Happy Sabbath and thank you for sharing your testimony. I would like to encourage you to evangelise the city, but live in your country home. Here is a quote in support of this.
temptation.9 AH 137.1
Cities Offer No Real Benefit-There is not one family in a hundred who will be improved physically, mentally, or spiritually by residing in the city. Faith, hope, love, happiness, can far better be gained in retired places, where there are fields and hills and trees. Take your children away from the sights and sounds of the city, away from the rattle and din of streetcars and teams, and their minds will become more healthy. It will be found easier to bring home to their hearts the truth of the word of God.10 AH 137.2
Counsel on Moving From Rural to City Areas-Many parents remove from their country homes to the city, regarding it as a more desirable or profitable location. But by making this change, they expose their children to many and great temptations. The boys have no employment, and they obtain a street education and go on from one step in depravity to another, until they lose all interest in anything that is good and pure and holy. How much better had the parents remained with their families in the country, where the influences are most favorable for physical and mental strength. Let the youth be taught to labor in tilling the soil, and let them sleep the sweet sleep of weariness and innocence. AH 137.3
Jesus is so beautiful and powerful!!! Thank you Jesus! ✝️🙏🏼❤️ God bless this family
My favorite part was when you talked about "Stepping Stones" I pictured grey stones and taking a step by step. I became a Christian at 19. Now in my 50's I can see the "black and white". I was raised Catholic and I thought the bible was a fairytail. We weren't encouraged to read the bible and I didn't know it. I was so hungry for God at 19 that I was going to Mass several times a week. I knew something was missing but didn't know what. It was Jesus and that He died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I met my husband at that time and he was from a faith that read the bible and believed what it said even speaking in tounges. So I started reading the bible and found out the truth. That I was lied to by the Catholic church. These are some of the example I realized: You don't have to go to a priest to confess your sins. It doesn't say that at all. I didn't know that the Hail Mary Prayer we were taught to pray wasn't in the bible. The rosary wasn't in the bible. When I realized I was going to leave the Catholic church and go to my boyfriends church (Now my husbands) I remember my aunt being Catholic getting upset. She didn't even go to church. I realize that's my story is nothing compared to what you went through. That just made me feel like I can relate to you on some level. I know following Jesus path for you won't always make people happy with your decisions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. Praying for you and God's direction for your life. One step and a time.
Thank God for delivering you.
Praying for more of these testimonies
The Hail Mary is in the Gospel of Luke. Jesus gives the Apostles the authority to forgive sins in John 20:23. We have 3 readings of the Bible at Sunday mass and solemnities and 2 readings on weekdays.
The Rosary is a meditation on the life of Christ. It’s extremely Biblical. I’m glad you developed a personal relationship with Jesus, and that you got into the habit of reading your Bible, but there’s no reason why you couldn’t have done those things and remained a Catholic. Also, Sola Scriptura is nowhere in the Bible. No Christian before the 16th century believed in Bible alone. Critics of the Catholic Church will often say we follow the traditions of men, but our Church has direct continuity to the Apostles. Meanwhile, Protestants deny what Christians believed for 15 centuries in order to follow the dogmas of a few Europeans, ignoring entire passages of Scripture like John 6 where our Blessed Lord teaches that the bread is literally and not symbolically His body. It’s so important to receive the Eucharist that Jesus says: “Whoever does not eat my flesh and drink my blood has no life in them” For that reason alone, I could never be a Protestant. Somebody should have explained these things to you before you left the Apostolic Church founded by Christ. I’m hardly an expert and I was able to address every point you raised of the top of my head. Therefore you do raise a valid point; a lot of Catholics are not able to defend their Faith, especially in the West. Thats simply because they’re not committed, and the Church has failed to properly catechise, something we’re much better at doing in the internet age. Either way, leaving the Church was never the answer. I’ll be praying the Rosary for your reversion to the fullness of the Christian faith, handed down by the Apostles. God bless you and you’re family. You do seem sincere but it breaks my heart no end to see people leave Jesus’ Church over simple misconceptions.
I see this a lot from ex-Catholics: I jsut want to let you know we don't have that problem in Orthodoxy. But in all Churches you WILL have folks who don't bother with the Bible, don't really believe, etc.
@@sajansuganth8967Daniel 7:25, He …. shall intend to change times and laws. The Papacy clearly admits changing the Sabbath from Saturday , the seventh day of the week, to Sunday, the first day of the week, and declares the change to be an act of her ecclesiastical authority. The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday. _ Catholic Mirror, Sept 1893. You are a Protestant, and profess to go by the Bible only; and yet you go against the plain letter of the Bible, and put another day in the place of the Sabbath. The command to keep holy the seventh day is one of the Ten Commandments; who gave you the authority to tamper with the fourth?”- Library of Christian Doctrine, page 3. But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a
single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday, The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify. -Gibson’s Faith of our Fathers, page 111. The Observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the Catholic Church. - Plain Talk About Protestantism, by Father Segur, page 213.
My story is similiar in many areas. Id love to talk with you guys! Our (me and my husbands) life dramaticallly changed in the past 2 years. Knowing God and Him being Lord over your life is so different from the life we had. We also grew up Amish. The journey is tough but knowing Jesus is worth all the pain of being "alone".
💙💜🦋🤗
❤🙏🏻
I have a question as a foreigner. Aren't the Amish Christian, too? How are their believes different from other Christian denominations. I am confused by this video, because when I google Amish they are described as Protestant baptists. Don't they believe in the Trinity? What else differentiates them from other Christians?
Blessings to you in the name of Jesus! Were you allowed to read your Bible? Was there a silent pursuit and pressure to build wealth? Are you able to see your families again? Were you able to read other translations of the Bible? TIA
@@MelanieGraceTV there is a pursuit of wealth. With that, most do give when someone is in need. We do spend time with family. It is strained in areas and hard but gets better with time! We were not encouraged to read our Bible...it was discouraged.
I feel Holy Spirit so strongly upon this couple. There is such an anointing on that man to speak! I sense so much humility in them both. Beautiful to see and witness
a lovely peace and love for God and hunger for Him
So beautiful. I was born into a Christian family and I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember, I got born again at the age of 8 and now I am 26. We often do not know how privileged we are to know what we know and watching this I am so excited for them and also so grateful to have always known what I know. It's just beautiful
May there come a "great" move of Christ & the Holy Spirit among the Amish people that is beyond all expectation!
~At His Appearing~
All eyes quickly swing towards the Eastern sky
as bellows start to roll
He's riding on promised clouds
It's the appearance of God's Son
lightning flashes but must bow at Majesty's approach
thunder can not say a word it's great clash isn't
enough to speak the greatness of His worth
the sun's burning has no fire, the moon stand's still & stares
the heaven's surrender their glories & galaxies appear so bare
all waiting is over, all preparations are done
His Bride blushes before His loving eyes
He's come to take her home

Amen!
Oh Benuel and Mim, what a joy to see your faces again, hear your voices again, and hear how the Lord has used his Word to bring you into a close relationship with him. Give each child a hug from their new Nana Linda. I will share this podcast with several friends. Sending love and prayers.
God bless you Nana Linda for the step you took to be a grama figure to this blessed family.
May the Lord keep all of you blessed with his wisdom.
Amen
Do Benuel and Mim have a website or blog? Their testimony was so wonderful. Such a sweet couple.
Makes you want to follow their journey and watch their faith grow. So beautiful to see them follow Jesus at huge cost.
Hello brothers and sisters! I am a born again believer and i just want to say what a blessing your testimony has been. Surely God is doing a great thing in your lives. Thankyou Jesus for this beautiful family. Cant wait to meet you all in heaven. Until then, lets run this race for the glory of our Lord King Jesus!!
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. Mark Hemans//
I absolutely adore this couple. I can't help but think of Matthew 19:29: "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life." God bless you.
Amen
Beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing ❤
I always thought that the Amish way of life was Gods way of life.
Hard working, humble stewards of the land, low impact living, a good sense of community, brother helping brother ..... and then the comment that the path to Jesus is even more narrower, JUST BLEW ME AWAY.
This is so true!
In this day and age lots of people hate The Christ. So by default they will also hate you if you love Jesus. Even when you bring a message of love and tolerance!
These are dark time for the followers of Jesus.
Stay strong and God bless.
Lovely interview!
do you know what the amish believe? they don't even teach the holy bible. people are not allowed to read God's word. and their salvation is not secure. it is a false teaching.
Yes. Narrow is the way and very few go through it
I was shocked to find out how I perceived them is not reality! Sad!
@@roxyroxieroxannquite eye opening for me too 😮
@@roxyroxieroxann I had that shock about 10 years ago; after spending my first 35 years living among several Amish communities. Appearances can be deceptive.
My family is Pennsylvania Dutch from Berks county. My grandfather owned an apple orchard in New Jerusalem. My dad was Mennonite and my mom was Lutheran, where once a month the service was in high German. When my mom was in her 30s, they attended a Presbyterian church in Philadelphia, and were both saved. They eventually moved to Florida where I grew up. They're with Savior now. I'm so grateful for their faith, how they taught me from a young child...God is faithful! Such a great interview! Thank you!
This is one of the sweetest testimonies and discipleship stories I've heard in years! What tender hearts they have for Jesus and truth! I was saved 30 years ago out of another syncretist culture that I'd thought was Christian and was also blessed early on with a hunger for the Scriptures and simple faith to just take the next step.
I can see the love that the two of you have for each other. Not only do you love Jesus, but you love one another! Thank you for sharing.
Isn’t it amazing how he is in a church wanting to talk about Jesus and they turn away? So much like Jesus in the temple right? I really want to hear more about this. The world has the idea that the Amish are Christian.born again not so much. I would like to learn just what exactly do the Amish teach about their faith. Is it the Bible or is it just the god of Amishess? So glad Jesus has come to you and changed your hearts for eternity. Hallelujah. Amen.
They worship their way of life.
@@user-oc2mt8kf2j I’m gonna pray for the Amish people because I had no idea really
Amish is a cult.
From someone who grew up in an old order Amish home, a lot of the old order unfortunately are more about the rules and being Amish than following Christ. They teach being a good person but it’s more being good on your own rather than being saved and letting Jesus live in you.
Your attitude towards the Amish is admirable. Although you’ve been hurt by them, but you still want a relationship with your family. That’s powerful. I’m so grateful to hear what Jesus did in your life
Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace;
Knowing you are on your way to heaven. God's grace is sufficient.
I agree! I praise the Lord Jesus that His light has been birthed in you both. Your story made me cry. May you -all in your family continue to walk in His ways and know and cherish His presence in your lives.
I pray your parents and siblings and old friends will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior too!
Amish is another culture.
Jesus will lead into all truth. It's not about ANY denomination it's about relationship with Jesus.
May Yahweh bless this couple abundantly l pray 🙏
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind - amen!!
What an encouraging interview! I love hearing what the Amish believe. Now i know how to pray for them. I have always loved their simple lifestyle and their connections to each other. I didn't realize they didn't have the full knowledge of life in Christ and what it means. It's awesome to hear how this couple was touched by the Holy Spirit and they leapt into the arms of Jesus. Praise God!
I like "they lept into the arms of Jesus."
His loving arms are always open wide. ❤
Amen 🙏🏼 and Amen 🙏🏼
Actually the Amish are very similar in belief to those in many denominational churches. They just want to practice religion.
@@theresabrooks7901 except they don't believe in a relationship with Jesus. 😔
I hope you mind me saying this but l hear nothing about the Apostle Paul the gospel of our salvation which was given to paul and only paul which is 1 Corinthians 15 1-4 and how jesus died by shedding his blood. In Roman's it says to put our faith in the blood ..without the blood there is no forgiveness of sins
The second in 'timely 2 15 we are to rightly divide the word of truth
Read Roman's to philemon that applies to us the church age today if we take dont divide you will think that everything is for us it isn't
Jesus's earthly ministry was only to jews not gentiles it wasn't until the leaders of Israel rejected him that he used Apostle Paul
Please read it for yourself
Dont take my words for it
Thankyou
I'm so pleased that this video "randomly" showed up in my feed! I appreciate this interview and the sharing of this journey to Christ. I'm so grateful that Christ brings us into a family. It's like we do a trade in. It can be scary, but so much more rewarding.
This is a great channel!❤❤❤
Me too 🙌🙌
This testimony has really blessed me today. It seems very similar to what I hear about Jewish people finding out that Jesus IS their messiah. The same kinds of struggles and losses. Yet, God makes a way for us all to deal with the aftermath of coming to accept the free gift of being made clean in God's sight through Jesus. So glad your families found their way to Him!!
My husband and many others experienced this same tension with family members when they, as Catholics, started reading their Bibles and following Jesus. It scared their parents. They were afraid they were joining a cult or something.
my great grandmother in the early 1900s came from Italy to N.Y as a Catholic, someone gave her an English Bible and she started reading it and got saved for real, Jesus is, and everything that is Word he is, in my life I have sat in many denominations and found they all have something right and they all have something wrong, in the end it comes down to Jesus, its not about any one denomination its about him and his word...
My catholic grandma thought we were in a cult for being protestant
but you are! If you read the new testament you will see that Jesus is the church the beginning with Peter and the apostles.
It scared everyone who doesn't know Jesus. Be a member of a church or a congregation doesn't mean that we're sons of God.
@@marciachrist9776
I'm now considering that the Apostolics could say the same statement. Yet what matters is Jesus and over the years i understood little by little that Jesus didn't come to make new religions. He just came to give to us His Life so that we might live with Him forever. And we learn to listen to His Holy Spirit. And walk with Him.
Paul said that true religion was to take care of orphans and widows.
And we are here on Earth to be a testimony of God's love for Mankind.
Praise God for we are with Him !
This interview of their transition is so encouraging.
I left the JW religion when I was 17, and am now 62.
I lost my entire family, 4 siblings, 6 cousins, parents, aunt and uncle, and many JW friends.
Yet Gid became my Father, and Mother and told the time over years to bring deep healing to many wounds in my life from an abusive childhood . The fruit of following the one true God gives such a deep knowing of its ok to let go of the old. God is our All in all. May Papa God continue to bless this couple and their new found life of Truth!!
Sometimes you get saved and lose family anyway, because they don't want to be around you. You don't have to say a word, they get convicted of their sins, and they are uncomfortable....❤
I had JW friends in highschool and this way of throwing people out always tores my heart apart. I am so sorry you had to through this and hope you found a church body of true love just as described in the Bible. I come from a non believing background and I am the only one truly following Jesus apart from my granny (so far!!!), but after many years of being in a "church system" God has gifted me with a wonderful house church, and we truly are like a family. And yes, he has also healed all the shortcomings of my own upbringing. Our Abba is so wonderful and His love for us is truly unending. But with churches, his judgment stands and falls not only with sin, but also with love. I am praying that he will have mercy on those churches who are abusive, manipulative, and lack love. I pray for a true revival in these churches. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You’ve gained true family members only saved belivers will be togther forever in eternity from the beginning of time to the present
I say that to say our unsaved family members aren’t out true family members and will not be with us in eternity but all of those in Christ will be so it’s definitely a blessing ans something too look forward to spend the rrest of our lives with the lord and new family members in Christ
God bless you
❤
I can so relate to the discomfort they felt with their parents. I was raised non-Protestant but became Protestant after marriage. It was only when my parents moved to another state 15 hours away by car, that I felt ok exploring my changing understanding of Jesus’ life and sacrifice. I loved them so much and appreciated my spiritual heritage & I didn’t want to hurt them.
I am always encouraged by His words: "Who are my mother and brothers and sisters, but he that does the will of my Father." ❤
"unless you eat My flesh you do not have life within you" ah, to have Jesus
I am a Jamaican and I will continue to pray for the family.
Salvation by grace through faith, which is the gift of God! Hallelujah
This is an enlightening interview. A few points that I will highlight. The Amish life is romantized by books and movies. I am glad to see they have kept many of the values from their Amish life. He mentioned living Amish was an idol that God had to remove. Just as English people we need to remove our denomination from our heart and fill it with Jesus. I am glad they are a part of the family of God. Thank you for the boldness to tell your story.
WOW! So powerful. Loved your testimony. I am a born-again Christian. Keep going forward. God is my everything. Saying a prayer for you now that God will give you direction for your family. 🙏🙏🙏
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. Mark Hemans//
I’m so proud of this couple that they pursued Jesus Christ and they now live for the Lord. And now they know the truth..Praise God .You are now in the family of God. I love you both.
“If I say I’m NOT saved .... I’m actually denying Christ”. Wow - praise the Lord, the world needs to know this.
Lying about being saved is just as awful as denying Christ. This is the most absurd saying I have ever heard.
My husband and I had a similar journey out of another church which emphasized rules and regulations and earning your salvation. We can really relate to their journey. God bless them for sharing their story.
There are several "christian" sects that if they read their bibles instead of the extra books they are encouraged to read instead, they may come to the truth of the gospel and Jesus and would be set free!
🙏🏼Always prioritise the Bible. Even a biblestudy book can veer off of the complete Word of God. Whatever else we read, the Bible and it's truth always comes first. Other books, words, can easily obliterate the Way, the Truth, and the Life, if we allow it. Prayer and Bible reading should be first and most important in our lives. Praise the LORD for the Holy Spirit guiding us moment by moment. We should be obedient, not rebellious. P.T.L. Praise the Lord!!!
Thank you…. Believe it or not this is similar to catholism! I had to leave the RCC to truly follow my Lord and Savior Jesus
Both are works salvation.
“Jesus renewed my mind” instant Holy Spirit chills. God is so good! Wow thank you Jesus! Prayers this reaches so many even in your community.

Thank you Jesus. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Great testimony
What joy!! Sitting on his recliner and Holy Spirit washed over him❤
Thank you so much for sharing this story! In May my family went on vacation and visited Amish Country in PA. We did a private buggy ride with the most authentic business we could find and talked to the lady for over 2 hours. I could see a lot of what was discussed on this video in her but couldn’t pinpoint all of it at the time. This was really eye opening. We talk about that trip and the lady often in our family. She seemed to be on the fence. I will be praying more directly for her now with a better understanding. Thanks! I always enjoy your videos and music! Thanks for being a shining light in a dark world!
Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace;
Слава Иисусу Христу! Да благословит Господь эти прекрасные семьи еще больше!❤

Где только нет наших 😊
I grew up Amish and keep in mind to not put them all in the same box . I came from an area where there are a great amount of born again believers and believe in Jesus as there Lord and Savior. We switch our membership and a great number of them do not shun us .there are definitely some that do. There is revival in some parts of the communities. There are pastors that attend bible studies which would of not happen 10 years ago …
Thank you for being obedient and sharing this testimony. I was raised in the church, with church people but when the Lord called me to a closer walk, and to actually apply God's Word to my life, some family and friends fell away. Initially, it was very sad, but then Jesus surrounded my family with new families in the faith who also desire to have an authentic walk with the Lord.
Jesus, is so real. 🔥
Thank you and God bless❤
I was raised catholic, and I'm struck by how similar the Amish religion/tradition and Catholic religion/ tradition really is. I also had these questions about why bible reading and study wasnt encouraged, and it finally hit me, it was all about keeping people in the "religion". Maybe other catholics have a different experience, but i never really knew Jesus, and I certainly wasnt lead to salvation.
When I walked into my little Baptist church, I finally found Him. I Praise Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!
Praise the Lord! What a wonderful testimony!! I feel like even people outside of Amish can idolize them and think they have it better, when in fact everyone equally needs Jesus and to choose Him personally!
Such a beautiful couple!
I love them!!!
Thank you sooo much for this precious interview and the opportunity to hear them and their journey into grace! Thank you Jesus!!
"If the Holy Spirit is at work the fruits will come out" Amen, so good!!! The word says you'll know them by their fruits.
I've never come across this channel before and for this to be the first video I see is so amazing. Thank you for this amazing content and for this beautiful couple to share their story. It has and will continue to lead other hearts to Christ just by the words of their testimony.
This is an AWESOME channel. New subscriber!!! Yay!!! Amen
Yes - me too - a YT suggestion 😁 I don't think YT have the censorship power that they think they have - Praise the Lord! 🙏
Me too! Thank you Jesus!
Your testimony puts me in mind of a song: In the mornin' when I rise...in the mornin' when I rise...in the mornin' when I rise---give me Jesus! Give me Jesus---give me Jesus---you may have all this world, just give me Jesus!
“28Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
Matthew 11
I can tell that the wife from the ex Amish couple is following the leadership of her husband in this whole process and her husband is growing deeper in his relationship with God❤ love that for him and I pray for both the wife and myself because we both seem to be struggling similarly. Praise God for renewal of minds in Jesus Christ.
There are alot of christian churches that are practicing feminism and calling it biblical. They don't follow the bible as far as headship of the home goes. Its 50 50 100 100 Ive heard all this drivel. The bible is clear the man makes the final decision based on weighing the facts that he and his wife, both talking about it and the husband basing his decisions, taking into account her being the weaker vessel and making sure it is not hurting her. There are times if it is gods will that both have to take pain when doing something but god never gives us more than we can handle per his word. Gods kingdom is all about authority. Note Miriam being punished for scolding Moses. God rightfully said she was rebelling against him when she rebelled against Moses. People don't seem to understand this today.
I was born into the gospel through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Having been blessed with truth and knowing nothing else, it is easy to take Divinity for granted and become casual about my relationship with our Heavenly family. Seeing this couple's faith in Christ, and their commitment to their beliefs, inspires and reminds me to renew my commitment to my relationship with God and my Savior, Jesus! Thank you for sharing your testimony publicly!
jesus christ of lds, is not the truth, the way and the life, JESHUA IS respectfully research the roots of LDS, AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE, IN HIS EVERLASTING LOVE [ JESUS IS NOT THE DEVIL'S BROTHER OR AN ANGEL, JESUS IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD may His peace and His holy spirit lead you to true freedom.[ respectfully i tell you this]
Yes you can know that you have eternal life!!! Praise Jesus!!!
This is a great reminder of how God calls His people to himself, in his time. Thank you for this interview. I truly enjoyed it. ✝️💟
This has been a real blessing to hear. I am encouraged how the Lord is moving and saving his children!
Yes! There have been so many new, bold testimonies since 2020! I have noticed, too.
Amen
Amen . We became believers in 2019 less than a year before the lockdowns. So thankful.
When we find Christ, we all come out of the darkness. Praise God for His blessings on you!
So inspiring..Thank you guys! The Lord said " If you seek me, you will find me if you seek me with all your heart.."
It was such a blessing to hear this testimony! So many things resonated- as young(non amish) christians my husband and I were approached by Beachy Mennonites. They seemed very serious about God, and had similar views as Amish. After we joined their church, we realized like you said- people would get uncomfortable talking after the service about Jesus or even the message. It was always the weather or gardening and I was a city girl😂They were so moral that leaving made us feel guilty but we were so hungry to talk about Jesus we left. I am deeply blessed to hear how Jesus led you step by step into His Arms, praise the Lord!
That's so weird because my ancestors were Mennonites and I assume they were born again. I mean it's five generations back but my grandparents who became Baptist because they moved East where there were no Mennonite churches definitely were
Yes. I understand they feel called to the city. Bless them and you. I love the Lord, and Im stepping out in total Faith today. Amen.
I'm so sorry you had that experience! Some of them are very willing to talk about Jesus and the sermon.
@@georgewagner7787Many are born again and understand salvation and relationship with Jesus and living in Christ. Most of the ones I know are born again and understand life in Jesus.
I wonder why speaking about Jesus is wrong? So weird!
What an answer to prayer! We have interacted with the Amish in Berne, Indiana for years and prayed for them, and attempted to share the love of Christ with our contacts while doing business with them. This is AMAZING! Brought me to tears and goosebumps!!
Please share your personal relationship with Jesus not just God's love. Pray first for God to direct you to open-hearted Amish who are hungry for more. ❤🙏🏿✝️
@@anne4weeks Jeremiah 33:3 God is FIRST responding to prayer. Let’s not forget that! I rejoice at answered prayer. Some sow, some plant, some water but God gives the increase. I Cor. 3:6-9 We have different roles to play in the harvest, my Sister.

Why are people acting like Amish aren't Christian? They have a higher percentage of Christians than any other group in America besides Mennonites and Mormons, and actually dedicate their entire life to Jesus, unlike 99% of American Christians.
What if they are right and you are wrong? What if you should of been listening instead of speaking the entire time?
I am so amazed by the journey of this beautiful couple. It resonates with me a lot, though I wasn't amish. I was in a different denomination of Christianity and saw some things in scriptures that weren't being practised. It can be a pretty confusing journey I know but each day I take heart in the fact that Jesus is our door to God and God is there waiting for our hearts to commune with Him. It's a step by step process and still is.
God bless you and this channel.
May I add one more here :

Raised Catholic, now Christian in a Baptist denomination. My faith journey sounds much like theirs!
What a blessing to hear that y’all have your life to Jesus Christ! Jesus is amazing! He shows us everything we need everyday! Let’s praise Him together! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Love this interview. Wished there was a part 2. Asking how they adjusted to daily life after the Amish. Work, life outside the church . How they deal with technology, shopping etc
Yes, I would have loved a Part 2.
That WOULD be totally interesting. But maybe not the focus of this channel. (I don't know - this is the first video I have watched.)
The choice of words to describe their journey towards discovering Jesus are so beautiful. I too hope some day I have that!

This is a lot like my journey - only Jesus called me out of the institutional church. So much of what is shared here I went through. Few are born again and few truly desire Jesus Christ in any gathering, not just the Amish as shared here. Like said here, the path after Christ is very narrow and the cost is immense, many attend church (I'm from the evangelical / actually Mennonite faith originally) who live a very superficial faith as I did also for many years. But God called me fully to Himself and that meant breaking with this world and the fake institutional church system. It's been a lonely road in terms of other true believers, but rich in growing to know Jesus Christ. And Jesus knows who are His and connects His body together, especially well in times of the internet. Discernment is so key as shared!
God has a church on earth it’s the seventh day Adventist one. Their is a lot of muck in the pond but a beautiful Lilly is there as well
I think I'm going on the same journey. Realizing church is more of a social club. Dressing up, singing and singing, pretending the sermon actually scripture based not motivational based. I feel stuck, hard to leave what I grew up in. The older I get, the more I realize not following scripture more traditions. God, show me your will for my life. 🙏
@@rosemaryraplar8 God's will for your life and for all of us - mankind - who He created for Himself is eternal LIFE!
The question is:
. do we REALLY (!) want GOD?
. do we really want HIM in the way HE has made THE WAY - in JESUS CHRIST?
.do we really want THE TRUTH! As God has revealed in fullness in scripture and finally in Jesus Christ - the WORD made flesh?
Or do we want the lies of this world, which are easy to have, which cost (at first seemingly) little, which lets us fit in perfectly with the masses, which have infiltrated most institutional 'churches'?
Following Jesus Christ means 100% submission of all we are! Only then are we even born again. Only when born again do we experience any signs of His life, and even then the journey just starts - to grow in Him, to carry our cross, to overcome, to endure till we are resurrected and finished.
Following Jesus Christ costs you everything you thought was ' everything', but so much later turns out was only a lie, a stupid, dead idol, an empty well...
....but HE - JESUS CHRIST - IS LIFE!!!!
Dear rosemary, alone what you've written seems like Jesus is calling you, moving you to unrest.
Seek Him, and HE will show you what is to be done! He will walk with you. But seek His leading! Daily! With a surrendered heart! He is perfectly faithful 💛🙏

They are ( most of them are a cult as well just like others they teach hersey soul sleep and teach sabbath days which they think they are Jews they hate the Catholic Church and aren’t any better . Some teach weird things about Christ and they follow the false prophetess Ellen g white and her false doctrine in addition to the Bible which is a huge no no and red flag that says I’m a cult and you better run now
Their false prophetess made several predictions about Christ and other biblical things that were false and never came true they also have weird diets and etc read do research folks
@@rosemaryraplar8I had a similar struggle with the denomination in which I was brought up.
There was a season where I prayed earnestly if I needed to stay and keep asking questions or try drawing others to a real relationship with Jesus, or do I leave? In the end, I realized I needed spiritual sustenance and wasn't getting the right nourishment from that denomination and left. I attended different churches for a time then stopped attending but hung out with the Lord and my Bible. I found some radio teaching that was really helpful for me (pre-Internet days), and found a few other unchurched believers.
I wasn't sure if at some point I would return to that denomination. So far, the answer has been no.
The Lord may call you to a different experience from the one I had. But I wanted to encourage you to seek Him to guide you. I wanted to have the whole agenda, but as Bemuel mentioned in the interview, I often could only see a tiny step and not the whole thing. But I could take the tiny step.
My route seemed rather convoluted, but the Lord has not left me or forsaken me. I currently pray with others who came from different denominations. All of us want to serve Him and walk more closely with Him. And that draws us more closely than any one building, liturgy, or denomination can do.
May you hear Him clearly on what next steps He wants you to take.
I always thought the Amish were all Christians, so very eye-opening interview with this couple! Thank you for all of this information about the struggles of this former Amish couple's struggle with their separation at first from their community socially.
@RichMizenko I just have to remember that God sent His Son to die for the sinner, and that means everyone, whether they believe in Jesus as their Savior or not! People like Paul the Apostle are still sinners and continued to sin even after they believed in Christ's blood atonement for their sins. So the only One who is able to live a perfect life was Jesus and this is what qualified Him to be able to be the sacrifice for all of mankind's sins as it had to be a PERFECT sacrifice, without sin. He took the place of everyone who chooses to believe He died to give them this free gift of salvation. Their future sins may disappoint God, but they won't lose their salvation as once they believe in what Jesus did for them they are sealed by the Holy Spirit so that they are still saved per Ephesians 4:30. They may lose rewards if they habitually sin but their salvation is intact.
@RichMizenko yes but I also thought Amish were very religious Christians, that they believe in Jesus and all that. Personally I am Christian but only do the traditions,not a believer, but still see myself as a Christian.
@nancyanderson6741 I left a Spanish Speaking "Evangelical Christian" church, they're actually a Corporation now....Cult teachings, we MUST follow the "Annointed" & other very Religious teachings but we were (same as this Couple) ostracized if we left, God Forbid we ASK questions.....I was labeled a Rebelious Youth due to my Spiritual Questions, smh.....Hallelujah, I left....and as per 2 Timothy 3.....I am GLAD I have removed myself from them, including my Toxic "Christian" family, my Childhood/Young Adulthood Friends ....it HURT but I Prefer to follow JESUS not man 🙏💕✝️
@@mrsTraveller64these are honest questions, I say that only because it might sound like a snide remark in text alone without you hearing my tone.
Why do you identify as a Christian if you do not follow Christ? What traditions do you follow and what do they add to your life if you do not believe?
I live around Hutterites also antibaptist sect. They believe that the communal living is the most important. It’s ok to steal or cheat anyone that isn’t a Hutterite. We had reformed Hutterites in our church. They try to bring the word of God to their people.
Jesus sets the Captive free. So Happy for them I have been praying for Amish and Mormon be born again.
