SEAL Team 6 Operator recounts seeing God

Eddie Penney's story is a powerful example of how faith can transform a person's life when they least expect it. He went from seeing Jesus as the boogeyman to dedicating his life to being a warrior of God. His story can be seen as a reminder to us all that no matter where we are in our spiritual journey, we can always find faith, even in the darkest of times.

I was an alcoholic & drug addict that reached out for help at the age of 30. After I left a rehab, I immediately began to use again but attended meetings daily. One morning after a night of drinking & cocaine use, I asked myself “what am I doing?” I realized I didn’t have the strength to stop so I got on my knees & begged God for help. I was kneeling under a painting of the infant Jesus and I was lost.

A couple of weeks later, I had a dream that my body was lifted from my bed & a voice told me “everything is going to be ok now, God is taking care of you.” I woke up with tears streaming down & remembered every detail of that dream

Since that moment, the desire for alcohol & drugs that ruled my life has been removed.

I am about to celebrate my 64th birthday and have been clean & sober since 1989.✝️🙏

The terror and darkness didn’t coincide with Jesus’ presence, but in His absence… consider this relevance.

I was an atheist most of my life until I've hit a personal crisis that forced my back against a wall. With no seeable way out, I prayed out to God. He saved me from my mental suffering, delivered me from drug abuse, and revealed himself to me on numerous occasions through cosmic coincidences. Jesus is Lord. God is real everyone. Please, repent and turn to him before its too late.

I was originally a Buddhist, but one night in 2021, I had a dream where I saw an elderly man with white hair and a white robe. He didn't say who he was, but he smiled at me and said, "You will submit to me." When I woke up, I was convinced that he was God, Jehovah. Because I had experienced several prophetic dreams before, I paid special attention to this dream. By 2023, I realized that the events that had occurred in my life over the past two years were so coincidental that they were beyond my comprehension. I suddenly understood that it was God who had arranged everything for me. Now, I am a devout Christian, and I diligently study the Bible and follow God's teachings every day. I am grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for everything He has given me. Amen✝

I have a customer whose son has downs syndrome and needed surgery when he was younger. His Mom and Dad were in the room with him just before the medical team took him to the operating room and asked if he wanted them to pray with him and he told them they didn't have to because there were angels holding hands all around the room. He made it through his surgery with no problems and is perfectly healthy now. He is an amazing young man and I'm lucky to know him!

I'm a South African Marine veteran, , saw a demon standing in front of my bed looking at me many years ago, although I was well armed I realized that I needed Jesus, this poltergeist started attacking my wife in the days to follow.... She also gave her life to Jesus. A few years later we buried our 3 year old daughter 😢, we received a prophetic word at her funeral to spread the word that the lord is coming soon... 21 years later my wife and I are still strong, indeed His arrival is imminent.... I thank God for His strength to endure and for my training as a South African soldier that prepared me for the future ❤

I've been reading the comments here and how many of you have spiritual experiences with the Lord. I know we don't share these experiences because we think it will be misunderstood. Some years ago I was at a terrible low point in my life and hating myself for all of my mistakes, and I was on my knees in my garden. Suddenly the Lord was there, I could feel him and hear him, but not see him. We spoke of my sorrows, all the while I was so amazed it was happening. Then He told me I would be forgiven, and I could feel him rifling through my mind, like flipping through files in a drawer, going through all of my life. When He was finished I said, I want to see you, please. I squinted down the garden path, but I didn't see him, Then I could feel him starting to leave, and I said, please don't go, please. Suddenly He was behind me and whispered in my ear, I am ALWAYS right here. Then He was gone, and I realized tears were pouring from eyes, like my soul was crying. I knew then how He loves All of us, because there was nothing special about me. His love has never left me since then. He loves all of us, praise Him!💖

When my dad passed, I woke up two times in the night hearing music. The second time, I listened as it got closer and louder. It was a many voices singing praises to God, and I could hear my dad. I lay there peacefully, not wanting to mo e, speak, or fall asleep. I knew it was a special mome t that would never happen again .

I grew up with a physically abusive dad who beat me like a man growing up until I left at 17..had a mother who abandoned me at a young age off and on until one day she never came back and went and had 4 kids which she raised. I grew up going to church with my grandmother but it never led me to having faith..my dad apologized years later and we spent quite a bit of time together before he passed away.. we made a promise to one another that which ever one of us passed away first we'd come back and tell the other one that there was a afterlife and what the truth of it was.. he kept his promise and I had started noticing a higher power in my life several years before he passed.. from the abuse I had seizures for 13 years and they really beat up my body..the worst part is I'm now 45 and the toll abuse and seizures play on your mental health is no joke.. I was going to end my life 3 years ago this week and just as I put out my last cigarette and was reaching for the pistol I heard a voice.. I don't know if it was a voice inside or external but it led me to pray .. between my dad dying and paying me a visit and the experience I had with Jesus the night I was going to end my life there's no doubt that God is real and so is heaven.. I didn't get to see heaven but did see just outside where there's mountains on both sides with a luscious green valley between the mountains and a small creek or river leading through the valley into the gates of heaven.. my mental health is still crap.. doctor says he can't tell me what I'm going to have to face as I get older because of the seizures... I've already had my shoulder reconstructed twice and a back fusion and needing atleast another one.. my memory is terrible.. one last thing I want to mention is that I've been sober for 3 years now since the night I had a experience with Jesus Christ... it's the only time I've ever been sober completely since I was 17.. I used to always have to be on something to numb myself..I took 2021 off and sold some of my material crap so I could just relax and recoup..I was going back to work last year but slipped and fell down a entire flight of stairs on my tailbone and lower back so I was forced to take 22 off as well..I sold majority of the material things I had left .. doctor says if I'm not careful with my back I will be in a wheelchair before 60.. I put my wife through nursing school and paid for everything..I've been her rock when she got cancer and many other difficult times yet I'm led to believe that she will not be there for me if my health takes a crap.. she doesn't help my mental health situation at all.. I'm just going to keep relying on God to get me thru.. I believe that he's reaching out to some of us to wake us up for the approaching season ahead.. every time in history when mankind turns their backs on him and starts living the lives we see on social media, tv such as the Kardashians etc creation is almost wiped out.. he made Noah a promise to never flood the earth again and this time it will be by fire. Something like 85% of biblical prophecy has been fulfilled and in the last few years we've seen even more prophecy be fulfilled.. we are the last generation before the final battle between God and the fallen angels.. I don't know why I typed all this out other than the hope that someone who reads it knows they're not alone and they can call on Jesus Christ anytime...religion is man made and corrupt.. having a personal relationship with God is the best thing that can happen to a person

[carpiousmc]

I believe him I have experienced the presence of God and great fear fell upon me after. Not because he is scary but because you realize the Lord’s power in the universe at that very second. I am thankful for his protection during my time in service in the Marine Corps and in life, thank you for these videos Shawn 🙏🏼 peace and love

“As soon as he vanished, my room was the blackest of black in my entire life”
Got the chills when he came to that part

[bengibb]

In November of 2021 I had a profound experience that changed my life. I was doing some digging into the Travis Scott Astroworld tragedy and found alot of evidence that this show and the deaths were some sort of satanic sacrifice. There are numerous parallels to satanic imagery, portals and demons contained within this concert. However, I never believed In God and considered myself atheist for my whole life. This still didn't sit right with me. I found an image of the stage taken from an aerial view, it was of an inverted cross, a portal, and mountains behind the portal. I took a screenshot on my phone and was about to send this image to my girlfriend and show her. I edited the picture circling around the inverted cross  and portal and mountains and then I experienced something that changed my life. Everything started shaking, it felt like there was an earthquake, and I was in my car at the time, I put the windows down to see if the ground was shaking, but it wasn't it was completely still. Then I look at my hands and they are shaking uncontrollably. I then had this overwhelming amount of anxiety come over me and I felt like I was having a panic attack, which I've never experienced in this intensity before. I started having shortness of breath and felt like my chest was being compressed. And then I look down at phone on my center console. The image of the stage was glowing and then I could feel what I could only describe as extremely heavy bass like at a concert pulsating throughout my body, as if it were sucking my soul. And I could hear it too, and it sounded as if a enormous portal was directly in front of me. At that point I realized whatever I was experiencing was because of that image I circled, and in that moment I started believing in God and in evil supernatural forces. I deleted the picture and erased all the history of the Travis Scott on my phone and I started pacing around outside. I began crying and fell to my knees begging God for His forgiveness. I lived my life up until this point as a very sinful human. I was not a good person and caused much suffering for many people around me. My father left when I was very young and I was raised in a trauma enduring household, and i began getting into the wrong crowd and doing bad things at a young age. My mom tried to instill Christian values on me but i rebelled, began engaging in many addictive behaviors like overeating, fantasizing about sex and pornography, and playing video games for most of my time. I eventually started binge drinking alcohol, and stealing it from stores. I started listing to satanic death metal and would spend my high school years harassing people, vandalizing homes and cars, and even once tried to burn a church down with a molotov cocktail. I then joined the Marines after high school and deployed to Afghanistan when i was 19 years old. I endured a lot of mental trauma during my time in and began spiraling further downward into these addictive behaviors to cope with the PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Later i fell into more addictions, with social media prominence, drug usage, and promiscuous sex with many women. I began using many other drugs regularly including cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, mushrooms, and xanax, and steroids, sometimes many at once. I had no care for myself or others around me. I essentially worshipped myself and engulfed in many sinful pleasures and little did I know that I was completely enslaved by it all. I stopped drinking alcohol and using hard drugs 5 years ago this October In 2017 after my 3rd arrest in that year, which was a 2nd DUI. I've made many mistakes in my past however I have already turned away from many of these things in the last few years. In the moments after I begged God for His forgiveness, I could feel this tremendous weight lifted off of me, and I felt a dark cloud leaving me. The shame, guilt, and pain of my past had left me and the shackles were released. I then looked at the sky and a huge sense of gratitude came over me and a thought of how beautiful it is came into my mind. I could finally see. Later that day I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and asked for His Spirit to fill me. And I feel His Spirit all the time. Whether it's a thought in my head that would get me to do something incredibly nice for someone I don't know, or if it's a sense of peace when I'm feeling anxious. The Spirit is always here with me now guiding me. Before being saved I was undoubtedly deserving of hell for all the sins I committed. I was a depressed, lost soul, no longer able to enjoy life. But now, I've been filled with the fruits of the Spirit: Joy, Gratitude, Peace, Love, Kindness, Gentleness, Patience. I was once very anxious, angry, negative and scared for the future. But now, even with how crazy the world is, I have the greatest sense of joy and peace that rests in my soul. I believe because I was searching for the Truth, that God revealed hell to me. That few seconds was all it took for me to realize hell exists and this is no place I want to be. Nothing had ever terrified me more in my life. Nothing could ever make me go back to the way I was now knowing what I know  and believing what I believe. I went from a full blown atheist to without a doubt knowing that He exists in a second. The greatest trick the devil ever played is making the world believe he does not exist! God Bless you all! 🙏

When we were kids my next door neighbors had a basket ball roll into the street and out of nowhere a car was coming as they were walking into the street to retrieve the ball. Both neighbor-girls screamed at the same time and jumped back as they said they saw something (Christ Jesus) appear. He saved their lives by preventing them from walking further and both being hit by the car. I never saw Christ but saw their simultaneous reaction to seeing him. Based on their response, and the live saving situation I had no doubt they saw Christ.

[chadparsons]

Jesus appeared to me once, in I guess what's called an open vision. He presence was peaceful, loving, and direct, He said "There you go walking by again, and I'm always waiting for you." I collapsed in tears.

[smokejaguarsix]

Ive apparently died on the OR table twice during spinal repairs from my Army service. I have 3 different dead peoples bone in me.
And I swear to you that I have felt Gods presence on many occasions, not just while visiting the Vatican but during prayer and even just sitting there in pain in my room. I literally felt the sun shine down on my face and I was in a room, blinds drawn, at night.
It was warm and I felt His love and acceptance. It was awesome.

[Wild-Wisdom]

Gives me goosebumps to. I have I guess a similar experience. Not seeing God, but my mom which i suppose goes hand in hand in this story. When I was 8 my dad killed my mom. My whole life was gone everything I knew and loved was gone. Mom's dead, dad is in prison. I had major depression and so many questions, I was somewhat in denial like how is this even real or possible then came the suicidal thoughts. Started putting bags over my head as a little boy just to see if I could end my suffering. I was laying in bed with my grandmother one night and this overwhelming sense of peace came over me I lifted my head off the pillow and looked up as my grandmother was sleeping and looked over and there was my mom as an Angel, exactly what you imagine an Angel would look like. It was her, looked just like her in the most beautiful way. She had a glow and was not transparent she had a like white/cream silky looking dress with big wings that went pretty much floor to ceiling, taller than her and they were arched at the top and like inwards they looked so strong like they had a bone or muscle structure almost and made of white feathers like a person could absolutely fly with those wings. She looked at me as I looked at her and she whispered "I love you" I sat there for a second and then put my face in the pillow and looked back up as I had seen on TV like is this real. And looked back up and she was gone. But there is no doubt in my mind it was her and real. I'm not sure if she knew it but she absolutely sealed my faith in God and saved my life countless times in my darkest moments that event always comes to mind. Till we meet again 💪🏼

Regarding this story, I feel an unusual connection to this Team 6 Operator. I’m 63, and as a sophomore in high school, I was working towards being a Pro Fighter and tough as a nickel steak. I went and saw The Exorcist, knowing that people who saw it either laughed and made jokes or were petrified by the spiritual realities. When he mentions pulling the covers over his head, I remember doing that, only “hiding“ from the devil. After several weeks of dealing with the reality of not being able to “put my hands on” and scrap my way out of this fear, a friend of mine, who is also a tough guy, but terrified by some of the spiritual realities, and I were whispering in the kitchen about what to do. A bunch of our buddies were in the living room being very loud and we knew that nobody could hear us. We decided to walk outside on the front porch, it was dark but we saw a very typical looking man in jogging sweats standing in the middle of the walkway to the house. This was in Costa Mesa California in a typical neighborhood with a front yard and two way traffic going by. He said “I overheard your conversation“. There is absolutely and categorically no way whatsoever that he could’ve heard us at all with the noise of the guys in the living room, the fact that we were whispering out of embarrassment in the kitchen, and him walking by on the street with regular traffic.
He gave perfect biblical counsel on Satan and his abilities as well as Christ who pre-existed everything that was created, including Satan. He answered every one of our wild questions about the Exorcist with point blank accuracy and theological soundness. After dramatically relieving our fears we asked where he lived and he said “I come by here often“. I lived there for years and never saw him before, and never saw him again. We simply knew him and referred to him as “the little angel guy”. I would love a chance, off camera or whatever to talk with this guest or
yourself.
Praying God‘s best for you guys in this coming year.
Chris

I've seen Him too. Recently! I was losing my faith because I've seen my brother suffer for years due to health problems. My brother has never doubted our Lord Jesus but I started feeling angry and gullible.
One early evening about a month ago I saw Him. He seemed like a holographic image and I could see the curtain behind Him. He was sad on my account and in the praying position; kneeling down and with His Hands together in prayer.
I understood that He's just in another dimension but HE DOES EXIST.
Love and blessings to you all ❤

[believer]

I to saw Jesus in the middle of the day, standing on a cloud, arms opened wide, no FEAR at all, but I am a christian...I'll never forget it...2 weeks before I was baptized with the holyghost...praise his holy name...
