FROM HATING CHURCH TO 24/7 PRAYER & WORSHIP! 😳 (TESTIMONY)
Jason Hershey Testimony

Hi Family! Thank you for watching. We appreciate your support. Here are some links to help you with your next step:

This was one of the greatest testimonies I have heard. It gave me hope for my lost children. We raised them as Christian but my daughter is destroying herself taking male hormones, and the other two are a mess as well. We raised them to love the Lord, then got sick and could no longer homeschool. Kids had to go to public school. I lost all three kids when they went to public school. This just gave me so much hope.

[bgujeno]

Lovely testimony. Hearing this from Nepal🇳🇵. Praise to God..plz keep praying for Nepal...Nepal needs Jesus..

[janinamiranda]

I love hearing of testimonies where family members pray for loved ones for years and years and they eventually accept Jesus as their savior. I pray over my parents salvation everyday and I pray that the Lord reveals himself to them. ❤

[Elidethct]

I haven't finished the testimony yet... but so far, it's been made for my benefit. As a new missionary in Italy, this was a huge blessing. "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."

[iknowwherethewildthingis]

I am RECEIVING THIS NOW!!!! ITS CRAZY… YOUR SO RIGHT!!!! IT BOILS DOWN TO ONE WORD!!! “KNOWING”… I was asleep and whatever random YouTube video ended and your testimony started playing. I was in a dead sleep and words kept jumping out at me from things that you were saying that essentially answered every single question I’ve ever had about knowing for sure if I’m going to heaven or saved or just a lukewarm Christian that’s going to hell. I have been in a state of terror since around war stuff started happening and now trying to learn everything under the sun from YouTube videos which is very dangerous and have been more confused and terrorized than ever and now scared for every single person that is not saved or at some new age Christian thing the point is I have been researching what is true is the Bible true is Jesus true is he real and I’m realizing there’s too much proof out there physical proof for even alias she did atheists to deny so I then researched the history of the Roman Catholic Church and realized that the entire problem and Satan’s slimy plan is to use language words to counterfeit Jesus‘s gospel and anything else he can via the Roman Catholic Church because it’s in a Latin translation from Hebrew. Pope innocent himself, his own name mind you who also had 33 children the boys who were put up into the priesthood or whatever I’m getting off track here my point to you is that in all my research hours and hours and hours of trying to find answers to why even me I have been so sort of deceived and yet if my own fault, and now I know why because i’ve been saying things like if you don’t know your testimony like you know your testimony, then you don’t have a testimony. And I actually just spoke out loud. I think that I’m writing my own testimony right now because the word no KNOW is translated so unbelievably improperly in the minds of people who don’t know what the translation is including myself. I’ve never heard it until today until you said it that knowing Jesus knowing about Jesus doesn’t mean you know Jesus. How many songs do we sing hymns growing up? He walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me he is my friend. I remember those things, but I didn’t get the connection that he wants me to be his BFF. He is my helper. God is the brain. Jesus was the heart and he is the helper. He’s the teacher. He’s the one that you’re supposed to talk to when you’re boo-hoo about whatever and don’t know what to do know him. He wants to know you I just heard you talk about the girl who laid down with the flashlight on her heart asking Jesus to reveal herself her heart to him her motives her deepest darkest like nobody knows you better than Jesus doesn’t you don’t even know it and that’s a sobering realization and such a bonus because you don’t have to fill him in on the details so you need to learn to talk to him like your best friend and get to know him how you get to know him reading your Bible, but here was the kicker. Here’s what sealed me this reel me in was when you said your brother told you you don’t have to do anything. You just have to accept it. Get the Christmas present out from under the tree, although that was not your reference, I think that’s mine but I think people say those words come into my heart forgive me of my sins. I repent all that, but they don’t ever let him do it. Let him Jesus take the wheel back. That’s what we it’s it’s trusting the parachute to open, but you don’t know the parachute will open until you jump. That’s the point you have to jump and for a very long time I’ve been trying to figure out what jump meant you cleared that up as well I think through many parts of your testimony and I’m going to have to listen to it many more times to write down, but I think that I know what my purpose is and I’ve been asking the wrong questions I’ve been asking how long do we have instead of what can I do until whatever you’re gonna do happens because I don’t care I’m just gonna keep doing it so shift in mindset and strangely, I am sitting here smoking cigarettes while I write this and I’ve been so terrified that that’s gonna send me to hell but now realizing that I can, I’m giving that to him and I don’t have to be strong enough to take it away. He’s going to take it away and I actually told him I’m I’m a wimp so please be graceful, merciful not graceful merciful with me because I’m a wimp and I don’t like to be uncomfortable and I’m I’m really wishing that I was 50 years younger because I would like to go to like be a missionary somewhere and then I realized that I’m too old. I’m too kind of broken which he might not make me better from, but I think I know what my mission is because I’ve been studying the history of the Roman Catholic Church and how things got because my question was so how did so many people get so deceived like why didn’t they get it? You know now I’m looking at it and I’m realizing like well. OK, it seems super obvious to me but why do 2 1/2 billion people not see it in and do the priests know like surely they don’t know that they are 100% going to burn unless they get this straight because and it’s all because of language even the priests are misguided and think that they’re doing the right thing because of language and wow tower of battle isn’t that crazy in a boil sound to just that one word knowing because who else to give you good advice but your BFF and that’s what he’s asking for so the whole the whole point of the Holy Spirit is for that I believe that people mainly me kind of need a visual or a well OK you know what that’s that’s probably just my own assessment but your conscience and your convictions your little white guy on one shoulder and little red guy on the other shoulder whatever that is that is that is the Holy Spirit he oh and also that 10 Commandments are imprinted on your heart so anyways my little brain can’t understand his plan and wow I’m grateful that I don’t have to, but I really wanna have a talk with him someday but I’d also like to have a talk with you because I have some serious questions that I would really like to ask you you’ve answered most but I have more and wow this is long winded, but I had a lot to say that really came from the Holy Spirit I like to call him the holy helper because he’s referred to that to ask that in the Bible, I have so much biblical training in my vault from years ago I went to covenant College and Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, and I remember certain things while mostly I was just rebellious child I did hear some things and remember some things and now they’re making sense, but I really do have questions that I don’t actually need to have the answers to actually but I’m curious and I think I would like to know so that I could explain I want to be a missionary here to the Catholic Church people to the Catholic and I’m going to start with my aunt Sandy as a guinea pig because she straight up blunt and we’ll talk about it with me so I want to try her out. Try out my skills on her, but I need more skills or words because your words resonated to me like no one else’s ever clicked. I’ve never had it click it clicked amen thank you thank you my name is Kristen. I’m going to try to figure out how to contact you because I’d like to talk if you could thank you amen and thank you again. I feel like I want to jump up and down right Now.

***please note this was dictated because Satan was messing with the arthritis and my fingers and typing was too annoying so forgive the run-on sentences and probably a lot of improper grammar hopefully no bad typos, but I’m giving it to the holy helper to send on to you and hope that you get the message . Go with God seemed so light and easy to say because I’m giving this message to God to give to you because I’m not sure it makes sense because I’m sitting here smoking cigarettes trying to figure out the puzzle pieces that you just connected. Thank you so sorry for the rough read.”

[Yasoohabibi]

This is my favourite testimony so far. Jason’s testimony set my stagnant soul on fire. What an encouragement and a reminder to rely on God’s power of salvation and obeying God’s calling. Bless you brother.

[annettek]

Thank you for the testimony Jason, being a child of a Pastor it touches my heart deeper. May God bless you richly and the 24/7 prayer and worship ministry.
HolySpirit keep praying for us in groans, Jesus Christ intercede for us so we may emerge victorious.

[thaniaxo]

Love this testimony ! God is so good ! The way his brother led him to salvation was so beautiful and simple. And the van testimony… wow! Im blessed to live in the DC area so I’ve visited David’s tent throughout the years. Every time I sit down to pray and worship in that place, I’m overwhelmed by the Holy Ghost.! The place is truly special. God bless you brother! And your family!

[dianeleblanc]

Amazing testimony, I too was raised in the Mennonite church. Although I was just a kid, it brought back so many memories.

[celestialblissfulness]

Help me pray for my younger brother Juan to know our Lord and follow him 🙏💚

[joyouse]

I’ve been distant from God but this touched me. Thank you.

[karingraham]

Awesome!! It gives me hope for my adult children who don’t believe ❤

[alenazima]

I could feel that you were prayed for during this interview… every word was filled with His wisdom and knowledge of Him. God bless you, Jason, in all you do for His Kingdom and your big family and your wonderful wife, Kimberly . Praying for you and wanted to know how I can support your family financially. Thank you for your prayers for all states of America. ❤️

[mariachox]

God bless this brother in Christ and gives him strength and to continue to share Gods love ❤

[MaLendaBaley]

I, too, have a FOND MEMORY that took place under DAVID'S TENT in Sept. of 2012. In fact, I recounted it to a FRIEND just this past Sunday. And we have a KEEPSAKE of THAT MOMENT hanging in our PRAYER CHAPEL in TX.

[thhourevangelism]

JESUS!!! JEHOVAH JIREH! God calls us to a relationship with Him, our Father. Glory to Jesus!

[moomin]

That is a lovely testimony. The Gospel of Grace, so many need to hear it.

[ServantScientistSonSaved]

In spite of religion, God has been gracious to this man, his wife and their family.

[marilynmasedman]

Thank God for his testimony, it fired me up to know more of Jesus and be consumed of his love....we need to pray for others, our nation, Israel and not just self centered.
