I struggle with self righteousness and struggle to believe how evil I am. I pray that God will reveal His truth to me. I His help to even believe in Jesus. My mind likes to play tricks and sometimes I fall for it. The struggle is real. I pray that God will help me stay focused on Him and not get distracted by the world.

This is my first time ever listening to scripture and I thank Johnny for this, I feel like listening to it because of him for some reason

I don’t really comment on videos and this is a borderline essay but man Johnny, I am sooo grateful to God that I came across your testimony and channel. I’d been struggling with overcoming guilt and anxiety for really long time…my mentality was so polluted and I felt no sense of belonging or purpose. Had a bad break up back in 2020 when I first started University and developed a lot of bad habits. Started doing drugs to cope because being sober hurt too much. I hurt a lot of people because I’d become so self centred and selfish in my hurt over losing someone so good. The ‘one that got away’, I guess you could say. Gotta admit though, from a spiritual perspective, it is crazy how many demons attack you when you’re vulnerable after a break up. I’d gone from doing well academically to being suspended for two years for bad grades. Lost all my friends. Started experiencing really bad problems with anger that I’d never had before. Started lashing out at my mom and sister in ways I hadn’t before. Cussing at them like they were strangers on the street. Starting fights with people I barely knew…a year beforehand, I wouldn’t have dared to confront anybody. But the ache was so deep, I’d become so lost and isolated in my sorrows. I hated everybody and I hated myself. Blinded by the rage of regret. I wanted to die but I didn’t have the guts to do it. Above all, I felt like a complete failure. The life I had envisioned for myself had dwindled into whispers of a dream. I started developing social anxiety to the point I’d travel to grocery stores in the town over because I didn’t want to bump into anyone I knew, out of fear that we’d have conversation. How crazy is that? The enemy had me where he wanted me; isolated, shrouded with guilt and left with no hope for a better season. I kept sinning because I thought that’s who I was and that I could never be better. I knew I hit rock bottom because I had nobody to turn to but God. Someone who I’d known of my entire life, but never truly accepted. In May, my family started doing prayer nights together. At first I avoided it, but ever so slowly, I began to join after seeing the goodness of God working in my mum. I noticed how calm and understanding she had become and I wanted to know what it was. I started to draw closer to the idea of wanting to know God, but I wasn’t so sure. A part of me was a bit hesitant. I don’t know what it was but I’m happy I didn’t listen to it.

It was your testimony that made me seek Christ and truly accept Him. Hearing your story is the first time my spirit truly felt some sort of relief. I’ve never heard of anyone break the Bible that way and it scratched my brain right where the itch was. My anxiety and guilt stemmed from a mind that was crippled with the disease of constantly THINKING. I was never truly present in the moment and I couldn’t understand why I became so anxious. I would get so angry out of nowhere for seemingly ‘no reason’ - when really, the root of my anger had been a simple thought. Which grew into another thought. Then another. Then a full blown vision spun by imagination that would make me feel rage. I went to therapy for 4 years looking for a damn answer on how to solve my issues but I couldn’t. They all said the same thing - oh, do this because or do that because They would teach me breathing technique after breathing technique, send me home with some notes on this and that, blah blah blah. If anything, I would wonder why they didn’t just ask me for my money straight up. That’s all I felt like - a damn pay check.


The way you explained our thoughts and our hearts being evil….man, I was blind but after hearing that? I now SEE. Like dude, I been seeing and seeing and wow 😂😂 The spiritual warefare is REAL! This is a long comment but man, God has given you the beautiful gift of ministry, and His goodness is shining through you. Best thing about being a believer is having fellow brothers and sisters who inspire you to draw closer to God. I just wanted to take some time and express my gratitude, cause man you got no idea. If people came to Christ and truly understood the meaning of his sacrifice, the weight of his love and the fact that we are made in HIS image and should not listen to the voices of guilt and condemnation but instead God, who is LOVE, then a lot of therapists would be out of business. My family has been healed through His grace and it was your testimony that pushed me to walk that path with my mum and sister. Just so thankful to you Johnny, for real man. Long as comment but goes out to anybody who is holding on at the tips of their fingers. Let yourself fall into the hands of God and trust that He will catch you 🩷 Much love from New Zealand my brother, God bless you abundantly in all that you do!!!

54 years old been saves since I was 13. First time I heard this explained and I’ve always wanted to know thank you, sir. May God bless you.

[cameronanderson]

Brother, I’m not religious, however I’m deep in alcohol recovery and go with AA. Your words help. Make more videos, please.

[buckanderson]

This comes to mind. Jesus said to the Pharisee "go and learn what this means 'I desire mercy not sacrifice' " It's not what God wants from us it's what He wants for us!

[armandosanchez]

You in a way, open my eyes, Johnny. You you make me see things that I didn't see? You're doing a good job and God bless you for that. Thank you for your videos. They're wise and they're honest from your point of view.Thank you

[yume]

Come on now!! You are God sent Johnny.. The holy spirit is straight up speaking through you because wow😮.. Um amazed how your revelation of scriptures is so unique yet biblical. How you also dived into "Faith without works" still blows my mind. We appreciate you In our generation and what the Lord is doing through you. Be blessed and spread the Gospel even further

[rondocto]

Watching this video 5x now. I feel the Holy Spirit speaking from you brother😇 God bless.

[nildarivera]

Please keep doing these videos, I have never had someone break down the meaning like this before, thank you, for clarifying it

[joshuarush-garrison]

I never knew that interpretation of this passage and I’ve known this story for years. Bro that was a masterful exegesis. Keep letting God speak thru you🙏🏽

[morenikewillmore]

Preach, Johnny! Amen, we cannot do anything by our own works. We need God in everything we do and allow Him to guide us! 🙏🏾❤️

[neosega]

always reminding us that we as creation cannot do anything for Creator. if we do try from our own works, it just leads to realizing we aren't abel to... especially without the grace from God to do so. thank you for this gold pastor <3 - aqua

[jamoljackson]

Oh boy you are definitely enlightened and yet humble. This was so refreshing to hear
