Seeing this man cry about what Jesus Christ has done for him is powerful. As a viewer, you can physically feel how immensely thankful he is that God personally went after him to save him from the death of sin. His soul cries out Alleluia.

[@maryjean-vb8bm]

Alleluia is correct, sis. 😊

[@yayigarcia9866]

Amen❤

[@johnmartinez9469]

Yes it did I thank the Lord for pulling me out when he did thank you for your words! God is good

I love how the Holy Spirit made his heart so tender.

I'm praying and believing for a daughter and her boyfriend to be saved. I got told to get rid of the muck once- no, I will believe for their deliverance and salvation.

[@johnmartinez9469]

I'm going through the same thing I'm praying for my seven children to turn to Christ and receive salvation my oldest son is 30 he has schizophrenia bipolar depression has a meth addiction and alcohol addiction and it's homeless on the streets me and my husband are homeless right now but we live in our car but God is helping us out God bless you and your family

It's very appropriate that his middle name is Paul. Like Paul in the Bible, he has a radical conversion story from reaking havoc to preaching the gospel (see Acts 9). Only God could complete a transformation like that. 🙌

[@johnmartinez9469]

Thank you that's what I've been told! God is good

As a fellow newly saved child of Christ, I find absolute joy in hearing testimonies of all walks of life. We all have a story, and there is power in our stories. God loves us all no matter what our past is. He can wipe your slate completely clean, build you up, and use you to be a beacon to maybe plant a seed for another broken soul. I will never be able to humanly express the love I have for my savior. God is everything for me. I personally will forever be in debt to him for saving my life. That's why I give him all the glory and praise whenever I can.

[@Mediamessengers]

I got jumped into a "crew" back in the day. It felt good to be part of a tribe but a lot of trouble came with it. Thank God I made it back to the Lord.

[@bronzemuseum504]

Always beautiful to see men showing vulnerability when talking about God. God can soften anyone's heart even when World teaches us to become ''strong'' self centered whos emotions are showed as weakness.

[@NatalieAnn-m7m]

If a man won’t cry I see trouble ahead. It’s a sign of strength to me.

[@paigalina129]

John Paul got me crying. Powerful testimony ❤ God is so good

[@paulwilfridhunt]

Those whom God has chosen are the ones that He knows can become faithful to Him. He orchestrates their lives in such a way that will it result in their salvation. And without this God given life they would not have eventually gotten bonded to the Lord. This is what they need. Therefore we should thank God for the life He gave us because without it we wouldn’t have gotten to that place which brought us to our knees. You have gone from one gang to another. God’s gang. Now you are a leader for God. He is pleased with you brother. You have God’s respect. You are obviously grateful to God. And we love Jesus because He loves us by laying down his life for us. Keep up the good work brother. God has got you now. Yes sir God has got hold of you. 💒

I can relate to this testimony because growing up I lost my father at an early age and the neighborhood that I grew up in was heavy in gangs and for some reason every time God kept me from those influences.

That is the reasony dad took us out of LA in the mid 90's. he moved us to Texas and it was a night and day environment. I also thank my dad for moving us because that's where he met the Lord and he got us into Jesus Christ and church and everything.

[@ruanetsebethNatau]

i appreciate that he tries not to cry, as a man myself we are taught not to show emotion but while im going through the process with Jesus i can say. its hard being used to the worldly view and holding ourselves to not show emotion. but when ever it comes to our Dad in Heaven. man its hard not think about how He said He will give us a heart of flesh. My guys dont be ashamed that Abba allows you to feel now. He gave us emotions. and He is great, always.

[@ServantScientistSonSaved]

Im looking forward, not backward. I will not look back Lord. Help me.

This testimony brought me to tears and inspired me. I literally can hear the and see the lyrics to a hymn I have heard in long time once this video ended.
