Why did Bas Rutten return to the Faith? Was he physically attacked by a spirit??

[@SplittingAtomsTV]

“Being a Christian isn’t for sissies,” Johnny Cash said. “It takes a real man to live for God - a lot more man than to live for the devil, you know? If you really want to live right these days, you gotta be tough.” Great video, thanks Bas! All the best to you.

[@willhall7777]

I completely agree! Real men, tough men follow Jesus. When a real man puts Jesus first and follows Jesus then that man always puts others first and is thinking about the well being of others because that's what Jesus is doing. Man being the head of his wife ONLY works if God is the head of that man. Then that man will always put his wife before himself. Real men don't do whatever they wanna do when they feel like doing it because that man is about the Lords business and the Lord's business is helping others and saving souls.

[@holyresolution]

Oke Bass dank je!!! But please can show you all in the Bible conserning the dead please read all this: Luke 16:19-31 King James Version 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a >>>great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

@@irishjedi2522 Really? Interesting exegesis with a looooooooooooong stretch, if any. It's good to examine the Bible, criticize it. For critique to be valid you need to examine it. There are many weird verses/passages we could use to reject the Bible as Godly inspired. Is our interpretation correct? How do we verify/falsify? But while focusing on "disproving the Bible" is one way to go, why not turn it around and study/examine the other side: look at the claimed verification/arguments for it being really "holy", study prophecy. It helped me to find the truth. Be honest to yourself and you will come to your conclusion.

Bas is a true gem. I can relate on so many levels, from the asthma and bullying to dabbling in the occult and experiencing sleep paralysis. I joined the infantry, went to Iraq and learned about Bas Ruten and UFC. Then, in my despair, I found Christ and became baptized. This stopped the sleep paralysis and yelling. I found the Catholic Church through God’s Grace, and I’m raising my family in Faith the best I can while fighting my demons. Thank you, Bas, for sharing this. I watched with my kids tonight after Mass, and it led to many good conversations.

Hey Bas. I went through a tough situation in the beginning of the COVID-19. It was not about a regular COVID disease. It was about my mind. I was kind of lost in my life before 2020. Personal issues. I was crazy during Covid lockdowns. I went to psychiatry clinic for some days. I had some mystical experience that nobody would believe. No pill could treat me.

Hi Bas, I am a Pentecostal Christian who after having found the Lord on February 7th 2011 have never looked back. I've been clean of cocaine and booze for 12 years. In February 2024 I will celebrate 13 years of sobriety. I have had similar paranormal events in my life as well. I used to suffer sleep paralysis for years. Then shortly after finding God and living like a monk for 2 and a half years sleep paralysis left me completely. All my life I used to laugh at Christians but then I became one and I realize it is no joke living for Jesus. To find true peace and joy I gave up my worldly ways and Jesus gave me the best life I've ever had. God bless you richly Baz. Please keep preaching and testifying of God's greatness. Amen brother 🙏🙏🙏

[@Adam_A_Christian]

Bas, my brother (RIP) was really into the UFC, I wasn't a big fan, but something about your fights and personality made me a big fan of yours. Some years later, the Lord put it on my heart to pray for you after I was radically saved through a divine encounter with God, myself. I totally forgot about that until seeing your video just now. All glory to God. I'm sure I wasn't the only one praying. God bless you, in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. 🙏 God is good.

[@OfficialBasRutten]

I really appreciate that prayer because I believe all of them together made it happen, I was just like the non believers, same stupid comments, Todd Bjornathon a fighter who also fought Pancrase, a long time ago, like 94 he was already thinking (he told me later) "what ifBas would be a Christian"? Because I was nuts, so thank you and everybody!

[@Fr.Damian]

My roomates and I are all Catholic. We went through a Kevin James movie binge when we leaned he was a trad Catholic. I remember we all literally screamed and cheered when we first learned Bass Rutten was a practicing Catholic. Then we watched "Here Comes the Boom" in honor of you both. You're an inspiration. Probably one of the only celebrities I'd actually ever care to meet in person

[@Duskrunner]

Not going to lie, I watched "Here Comes The Boom" and it immediately shot up to one of my all time favorite films. My kids were all in band so there was a connection there. I was a Rocky fan and there was something for me with that. But the best part of the film wasn't the actors, the action or the relatability: to me it was the moment where Kevin James is sitting there at the dinner table, and his new coach busts out the scripture about Jacob's tenacity. Up until then I was watching a good film with a genuine message. I saw Salma Hayek wearing a cross, I saw Henry Winkler representing Abraham, and the nod towards the 70's Revival entrance theme that would "pick up" - all these were subtle hints that this film had an underlying message. After the dinner scene, though, I realized that there was a conscious Christian effort behind the picture. I didn't know Bas even had a channel like this until a few minutes ago. I didn't know anything about his faith. But I am not surprised. Immediately after watching the film i looked up who this Bas Rutten fellow was. Saw his interview with Dolph Lundgren. Had a sense that he was Christian - but seeing him boldly presenting himself here as such is extremely heartening. And I'm glad he brought up the whole hand gesture revelation. Not many in his world willing to place themselves in that line of fire.

Inspiring testimony brother Bas! I'm more of a Baptist, but came to believe at age 26 during night security work. The most important thing is that we rest assured in Jesus's perfect work, not our own - lest we be boastful. God the Son has gloriously been the good person we ought to have been and died the death that we deserve due to our sin, so that we may humble ourselves in admitting as such, believe and receive eternal life. Amen.

[@joshuaconrady169]

Amen. Jesus is King. Praise His holy name! All knees shall bow and lips confess that He is Lord! Let he that glories, glory in Lord. JESUS already won victory on the cross at Calvary. Death and the devils works were defeated. Jesus finished the work. Seek His righteousness and then all those things you worry about will be given to you also. They hate us, because they hated Him first. But, we love Him, because He loved us first.

Does anybody besides me understand how detrimental to the gospel this is by saying you can go to heaven by being a good person that is what the Catholic Church thinks that is what the Pharisees believe this is dangerous it is the free gift of God nothing you can do to urn it there's a ditch on both sides of the road you can be sleeping with everybody and drinking and doing drugs all the time or you can be on the other side of the road saying that you're a good person relying on your own morality they both end up in the same place

[@bontempo1271]

Listen brother, it's unreal that we are all getting to witness this, but more and more people around the world are having the same experience. We are lucky to get to witness what happens to the world when we are left to our own devices. It's happening right infront of our eyes, society is truly falling apart, the statistics are very clear - wickedness is through the roof. The 'trick' is that the young born into it do not know any better, they become wicked too. There is no respect, only quick violence, like mindless animals with no concern for the consequences. Of course, we cannot live like this, it is self-destruction. It is very clear we need structure and guidance as a mass. Individually we are not stupid, but as a mass we follow the herd. How can this be ? Why can't humans behave better on their own ? The laws of the universe demonstrate the will to live, all the laws point towards preserving existence. Even Science now is saying that the laws of the universe were fine tuned for life. If one single thing was off, then existence couldn't work at all. So then the creator of this existence made the laws for us to live on and as efficiently as possible. Anything that leads to destruction cannot be of the creator. It is the opposite. It is this force that is always waiting for us and has been evident throughout our known history. Out of all the beliefs and religions, Christ changed all that. And you know what are the two most desired values requested of us in The Bible ? Righteousness and Forgiveness. Do you know how important they happen to be for humans ? Forgiveness breaks the chain of destruction but without Righteousness to stand up for what's right, we get walked all over. We are supposed to be strong, but for what is good ! Good luck my friend. You will find that once God is in your heart, you feel complete and fearless. Happy to enjoy your life. God Bless

I remember waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a what I can only describe as a dark cloud above me and I remember the same feeling of not being to move my body, but I could lift my arms. I reached up trying to touch the dark shape. At that moment my wife stirred and tried to sit up and I remember putting my arm across her chest to hold her down. Then we both nodded off. The next morning we didn't really say anything to each other about it at first until we both said at basically the same time "did something weird happen last night?" She described what she felt and saw and I confirmed it. We called the landlord the next day to see how we could get out of our contract and she asked if we experienced weird stuff. She totally knew!

I’m tuned in Bas. Your life sounds like mine. The accidents, falling out of trees, martial arts and maybe one paranormal experience were the hairs all of a sudden, stood up on the back of my neck. I am also a pragmatic person as well and for some reason I started reading the New Testament again just before bed and saying the Lord’s Prayer in the morning. Thanks for your fantastic oration on this video.

[@OfficialBasRutten]

Oh man , love hearing that! Amen!

[@AVWAP]

If I ever met Bas It wouldn't be about fighting that I want to discuss but about God and mysteries of life

[@Alex-ej3by]

I didnt think I could have more respect for this guy and then this video comes up! What a Legend, thank God we have Bas on our side

[@hardcore907]

So much respect for you Bas. Had no idea you were embracing Jesus. This is just incredible!

[@Eb-mq5gw]

Bas thank you. Every testimony reinforces our faith to the king of kings. I too was agnostic for years and immersed myself with parties, women and being the 'wild' guy. Never have I been more free and found more peace at a low point kneeling in my flat by myself.

[@bigguy7353]

That's not what agnosticism is. Just fyi.

[@Eb-mq5gw]

@@bigguy7353 ? I just meant I didn't know/ didn't care about the existence of God for years. Was never arrogant enough to claim with certainty that he didn't. God can only be found in the inside not the outside.

[@OfficialBasRutten]

Welcome to the good guys!! Amen!

[@lyrakeltica]

I found your video to be honest and compelling. Thanx for making it. It's so refreshing to listen to a sincere man in these times. I'll be watching your other videos. JESUS bless you, your wife and kids.

[@WickedOne1212]

Bas is the best.. Respect!!🙏🙏. Most impressive thing to me about Bas's fight career was how intelligent he was.. the guy would even watch their breathing patterns before a body shot.. I mean.. who does that!?! BRILLIANT FIGHTER!

[@Francis0316]

Bas, this just warmed my heart, and tears in my eyes. I've followed you your whole career and can tell as fierce a warrior you were there was another gentle side. Thank you for sharing your testimony, God bless you in Jesus name.

[@alpsala]

Dude your channel is great. I appreciate you sharing wisdom. I had a similar experience in Coachella Valley. One night in my sleep I couldn't breath, I saw this dark figure hovering above me, and it felt like it was trying to choke me. It had these long straight hair and dark eyes. But then something incredible happened. I called upon my spirit guide, and suddenly, there he was, holding a staff. He spun it like a warrior and somehow freed me from the grip of that entity. He then created this protective circle around me. That was in 2002.

Thank you for your Vulnerability Bas, your Honesty and your Humility. This is what we need in the world. Authenticity & Love

[@Tan_AK]

Thank you for the testimony Sir. Have been very wishy washy with faith and God most of my life. But lately have been feeling a big pull to get back at it, start praying consistently and start bettering myself. I’m definitely not doing bad or at a low point in life but continuously feel the push to get right with God and let Jesus in and do better in areas in life where I know I’ve been weak and making mistakes. I appreciate your words and just want to say thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@OfficialBasRutten]

Thank you!

[@Digitaljoyride]

This is the most important video you have ever made. There are so many people i need to share this with. Thank you Bas. You are a true warrior and an inspiration. God bless you brother.

Spiritual ware fare is real! Glory to God in the highest! Mad respect for this powerful return Bas! ☦️🤝✝️

[@jcduplessis1]

Hi Bas. Thanks for this video. It's always great to find out one of your role models are a true Christian. I believe that you are setting a great example to today's young men on how to be a man, physically and spiritually. As a fellow martial artist (kickboxing) I have always enjoyed seeing you in action and learning from you. I know the chances that we will ever meet is less than zero but now I know I will meet you in Heaven! (I hope they have pen and paper for a signature! LOL) Please keep the videos coming and lets pray that God's Will be done on earth. Kind regards and blessings!

[@gerardomata.costarica]

Thank you for obeying the Holy Spirit Bas! Obedience is better than sacrifice. I love you bro.

[@johnnybigg7772]

I love this. Great timing as it looks like we are in end times. I returned to the catholic church recently too. Praise Jesus 🙏

[@geetjuhhisdebeste]

They certainly make it appear like end times since they use Revelation events like a blueprint. I think "this is it" but I can understand other interpretations. Anyhow, the power that be, I refer to them as Khazarian Maffia other call them deep state this or that, the powers behind MotherWEFfers, the UN, Club of Rome, Trilateral Com etc. etc. the 13 families and/or others we don't know 100% sure, these fckers are running their end phase agenda30/50 to enslave all who survive - and depop is part of their agenda. They openly talk about it all. And yet, huge part of humanity is sleep walking into their grave - or digging it themselves. Let's see if the real awakening is really real and we'll have a chance. God uses the foolish and evil things of the world for his purpose. And Christians should be ready anytime, anyplace to meet our Lord and creator. Until then, let's do as we are instructed from our Lord. Be blessed Johnny, and be a blessing.

[@BBDragon66]

Bas has always had great advice for us in training and now in life. God Speed in all your endeavors Bas and thanks for sharing your life's experiences.

[@georgevarvaras8983]

A great testimony from a great personality. So sincere, direct and simple. Exactly like the way you fought. So glad to hear people like you talk about God. Seek for truth is an action only of authentic men. Thank for sharing. Keep inspiring. God bless you.

[@doncarson8618]

Bas, thank you so much for sharing your personal testimony. I am thankful to God for the person you are. It is a blessing that you acknowledge the many miraculous events in your life as gifts from God and not just lucky breaks. We don't have to have ALL the answers, that's why it's called faith. May God bless you and your family. Jesus is Lord!

[@Frontline.Motivation]

i met boss at an event in Colorado when he was coaching Ludwig. He was very respectful. A true martial artist. I was a believer back then. He was my favorite MMA fighter at the time...still on my top 3 list. This video makes me so happy. Nothing like knowing one of your inspirations will be in eternity with the Savior. Thank you for this post Bas.

[@OfficialBasRutten]

And thank you for you comment!!

[@littleblue995]

Hey Bas. I remember my late brother sent me a video of your testimony from about five years ago. I was only after returning to the church after been away for nearly 30 years at the time. I am very thankful to our Lord Jesus for pulling me out from the mire and to you Bas for sharing your faith in such a beautiful and inspiring way. May I ask for prayers for my brother who died a young man in 2022. He was after coming back to the faith too just some years prior to our Lord calling him home. God is good! Love to you and yours, Bas. Take care

[@JohnyPatrick]

This is a beautiful story. I love Bas Rutten and to see him in the faith is just amazing what God is doing today!

[@paloy3551]

I listened to your kickboxing instructions many years ago and it helped me in my workouts trmendously at that time. Never expected I would be listening to you preaching the truth, God bless you Sir. Keep fighting the good fight. I will pray for you.- From a fellow Catholic

[@AlessandroFranchi]

God bless Bas for this great gift of testimony he is giving to the world! So many people will be touched and moved to faith and salvation through his life experiences. Thank you Bas for your straightforwardness, the Holy Spirit is clearly inspiring your mission! Keep doing this stuff, brother❤❤❤

[@richyakuoko2360]

Praise GOD!!! Thanks so much for sharing this video Mr. Bas Rutten. This video came in my KZbin feed. And I'm so happy I saw this. I am a MMA fan and a fan of yours. GOD wanted me to see this and to keep my fire for him. I am so happy that you have rededicated your faith. I subscribed immediately. I am still watching this video as I am writing this. May GOD continue to bless you and your family Mr. Bas Rutten. GOD changes people. The power of GOD will prevail we are the head not the tail. I had very bad sleep paralysis for many years. And it was very scary. I have a long testimony myself. And I also lived in Holland. Was born there and bullied by a teacher and kids. I live in America now. I look forward to watching more of your videos. I am a bigger fan now. GOD bless you and have a blessed day.

Thanx Bas have always been always a huge fan of yours and can’t believe I’ve never seen this, but kudos to you man, Love your Mind and your Heart, I’m a Christian but past couple years my family and I suffered back to back losses in our family and for me it was deviated set me back 2 years now and it still feels like yesterday, feeling abandoned angry and left me with me with many unanswered questions! This video came at the right time, I’m taking it one day at a time and I am now at a point where my life is taking a turn in the right direction and thanking God for the time I was given with my loved ones.

[@OfficialBasRutten]

That's what I always said, people think we can be easier on ourselves because he knows how weak we are? Haha, bullcrap, he wants unto be stronger, what people don't seem to get that there is NO time for him, he's outside time and space, so when he gave us these rules 2000+ years ago, they are as relevant as they are now, when he would have told them a billion years ago, she thing, he IS, he never was or is going to be. Bad things though, the Devil has the same, so if he can make you sin after 30 years you being good, for him its all at the same time. Have videos on my Catholic IG channel about this, I never gave it, but here it is, just know that nobody knows, so it's small, once Become more steady with it, I announce it. I will actually add it under the video, why not? @SebastiaanHARutten

[@rg3082]

You nailed it Bas when you said you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. I believe the same way. I'm not into organized religion but follow the scriptures. Jesus wasn't Baptist, Catholic, Pentacostal, etc. and neither do we have to be. Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and following Him is the only way to salvation. Thank you for your strong testimony. God bless brother ✝️

@@OfficialBasRutten Bass Rutten, what do you think of "Đavolja noć" series by Adam Medvidović?

[@HeyThisIsBlowski]

It’s pretty incredible to listen to a man like Bas speak about Sleep Paralysis and being attacked by a spirit.. feel very vindicated after being told for so many years that it must have been psychological or just a dream. No I felt it… I was awake. Went through something very very similar for three years when I was in high school. The only thing that got it off of me or made it stop was begging for Jesus Christ and calling him by name to help. It never happened again after that. All the best to you and yours brother, thank you for making this video.

Yeah I said the same thing, everything worked except couldn't move my upper body, crzy, happy you had the same so we know we aren't completely insane, haha

​@@OfficialBasRuttenvery refreshing to know im not crazy after reading these 2 comments.. only that i couldnt move at all.. only my eyes! also seen 2 entities in dreams that gave me the same feel.. one was a dark shadow figure that pinned me down but it felt like a gravity type of pressure.. and the othe was a light being, told me i shouldnt be there and pushed me out with that same pressure/energy! same pressure you felt on your chest Bas.. crazy! i thought im going insane!

[@smellme6313]

I had one episode of sleep paralysis. It was terrifying. I only had 2 other “emerging” cases but I remember thinking “attack! Attack with your thoughts!” and thought very hard, “Jesus is Lord.” Over and over and prevented the paralysis from going full swing. My breathing slowed back to normal and although I felt uneasy, I felt strong through faith.

[@johnnavarro9169]

I just discovered you, great talk , I am a Christian and though I have been amazed by your fights I didn't know you were a believer and a brilliant speaker, God bless you.

[@sharonkasper5126]

Mr. Rutten, my name is Roy Kasper. Husband of Sharon. I have watched every fight you've been in. You are one awesome fighter. This is the your first and could be the last video I'll be watching. I am also Dutch. In America since 12 years old, now 76 years old and full of the Holy Spirit. Believe me, we are at life's end as we know it. As a born again believer, my believe is in Jesus. The world is about to go to war. Before any bomb is dropped Jesus will take out his people. Nothing is more important then having Jesus in your heart. My most desire is knowing that you have Him in your heart. If so, I will personally see you in Heaven. Make sure you are born again and if not sure, invite Him into you heart and you will be born again. Blessings.

[@marcomendoza6508]

This is amazing to find. My favorite fighter is loving God. We have had a lot of similar experiences. This video made me look back at a lot of stuff that I had overlooked. I have thought about going back to the Catholic Church. I am still on the fence. But it’s great to see your faith. 🤙🏼
