[@emmanuelniiayihammon]

the alfabet was just amazing!!!... Always Believed Christ Didn't Ever Feel God Had Inversely Just Knowingly Left Me Now Oppression Penetration Quicken Rage Saving Thought Ugly Variation Would Execute Youthful Zeal

[@mrsetamayple]

The fact that she did that while signing is amazing

[@rehtse6721]

after awhile it wasn't even just a spoken word it was preaching, literally.

[@jessypooh24]

I'm crying because I realize how I still have wounds in my soul from being abused and molested....I ask God to please help me be made whole.

[@olamideee4904]

How are you doing today💕?

[@justinabenson7229]

Praying for you

[@tamekalee-reynolds512]

We are overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. Thank you woman of God for sharing your testimony.

Glory to God!

[@ravenqueen4122]

Amen

[@AdrianaClark54]

this made me cry so hard... I went through the same as a child, and Christ was my only healing. Thank you so much for this. I needed this.

[@sharkyyyx5653]

Adriana Clark how do you move past it all? I can't move on. I don't know how to be a normal person. How do I find Christ, and how do I heal from him

[@tabathamanzanilla5900]

Jesus loves u ,ask Him to come hug u He can I didn't know that was possible till He did it for me.and I've sined so many time and He still saved me

[@MorganTracyJ]

The Lord is working through her!!

[@deborahprice1452]

yes!_

[@jazmine7798]

It's weird. When it happens, you feel like you're the only one until you realize how many others have been abused like that too. I know how hard that must have been for you to share your testimony like that. Thank you and god bless. Continue what you do.

[@MissRichardsonWrites]

those alphabets though!!! she did that!!!

[@chaniecekinglife14]

ladya5 wow ikr so talented.

[@Dymond433]

[@karenmcgee1869]

Praise GOD that you were able to tell your testimony! Thanking GOD for your healing as well. I love the messages that you convey in your poems. So heartfelt and authentic!

[@bibiantemercera9532]

amen

[@RETTAVISION]

+Karen Mc Gee YOU ARE **NEVER HEALED** ....WITH THE HELP OF GOD YOU PRAY AND APPLY YOUR FAITH AND YOU "CHOOSE TO FORGET AND FORGIVE.. AND YOU CAN... AND YOU DO......"UNTIL THE NEXT TIME"... YOUR DAILY LIFE IS SURROUNDED BY SEEKING SO HARD TO "TRY" TO REPLACE THE "TRIGGERS"....OF THOSE "THOUGHTS THAT CONTINUE TO VIOLATE YOU AND VICTIMIZE CONTINUALLY THE PIECE OF PEACE WITHIN YOU. WHILE WATCHING THIS VIDEO IT "TRIGGERED" ONE OF THOSE MANY NIGHTS..THOSE DAYS.. THOSE AFTERNOONS.....THOSE HOURS.....THOSE MINUTES...THOSE SECONDS.... AND I THOUGHT...HOW COULD SHE KNOW THIS?????? SO LET ME START OVER... NOW LET ME PRAY AND CLEAR MY HEAD AND SHAKE IT ALL OFF AND REPLACE THOSE "THOUGHTS" AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME...UNFORTUNATELY YOUR HEALING ONLY REMAINS INTACT........ "UNTIL" "THE NEXT TIME".

[@tellerbe40]

Thank you for being so transparent. This will help others to take a step toward healing in Christ.

[@natashaburton306]

Every issue starts with a small seed!!! Thank you Father God for righteous seeds 🙏

[@thewritingmommy]

oh i both love and hated this ... loved is obvious as the talent with which she is gifted but the mirror she holds up for me means the veil is now lifted and i have to see me....and i have to see him...again... both of us sinners... and i have to forgive him.

[@Teeninchee]

God keep you as you see beyond "him" to HIM....The lover of your soul. He will take you through to forgiveness.

[@thewritingmommy]

yes ma'am. God is ever shaping me and pruning me and loving me as i grow in Him. Peace to you, and blessings.

[@eieisha1]

i dont think the poets know why much they postively affect people live..... i appreciate you maam you saved my life

[@deem132]

Somebody ! Hallelujah ! The anointing of God is strong in her I'm more than uplifted and inspired. Praise be to Jesus

[@angelynwalters8629]

Janette....ikz, you are truly gifted. I stumbled upon you by accident, and I'm so glad I did. I can't stop listening to your artistry. When I listen to your poetry it seems as if you've been watching me through a window of my life. Thank you so much for you powerful, soulful, truthful,artistry. May GOD continue to bless you and your craft. I'm sending you Peace, Light, and Love.

[@bibiantemercera9532]

God Bless you

[@heckkane4041]

Amen. This is such a inspiration to victims of sexual abuse. The scars....only Christ can heal. I believe Christ gave this woman insight and wisdom into many things she inquired Him about concerning her own struggles, and with the wisdom she attained she used it for the glory of Gods name. God is the only one who can turn tragedy into a testimony.

[@karenhardiman1]

"I rather Shop his Photo. Then Photoshop the truth." super deep!!!

[@CarmenWJones]

let Christ be your Inhaler...love it!

[@Whey2lovely]

that was very powerful..I was molested as little girl if someone wasn't touching they were looking...until one night my mothers step-son succeeded after many attempts...my father went to prison for raping a white woman and he left my mother with 4 children & pregnant with me...and I came out looking just like him(so every time my mother sees me she relives the most painful day of her life so needless to say she and I are not....) years later... my father is released and he changes his name which changes his acceptance of me but then he tries to molest me as well(mid twenties... I still don't get it ) but long before that my weight & my style of dress became my shield of protection as well. this lady literately retold my story in away that I could have never told it. So while I am believing God for restoration I am trying to deal with a lot...because all of the sexual molestation and abuse didn't have to happen! yadda yadda yadda before I get mad I like the poem

[@bibiantemercera9532]

May God Bless you always tel people, iI held my secret for about 8 years now I'm 15 and finally feel free.

[@ur5860]

Praying for you Sis! You are not alone put here. May God keep His angels and loving arms around you. And may God be a hedge of protection around you everyday from now on. In Jesus' Name Amen!

[@efuasintim5493]

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us". Romans 8:18.... You better preach!

[@priscillashaw5754]

My story... told through her testimony! Amen!

[@yojoeo9067]

God must have had you in mine. God bless!

[@bibiantemercera9532]

amen

[@shellgriggs853]

Tears Because it happened to so many and to myself. The shame, Jesus bore it.

[@MalloryNewcomb]

What’s weird is several years ago I listened to this & thought “what happened to me was my fault” because I saw innocent in the child Janette describes herself as but not in myself. But in the middle of the night a few weeks ago I listened to it and it just hit differently. I understand now why I felt that way. And it’s funny how I felt an overwhelming feeling to watch this video at 3 AM despite struggling with it over the years. But now I might say THIS is her best spoken word. God bless you sister. If your testimony brought healing for just one it was worth the sharing and it was worth it for me. I pray I can be healed like you and be courageous like you are sis. I love your petty!

[@happywinnings537]

ABSOLUTELY THERE IS VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS OF THE BIBLE ALONE!!! I have been watching some of your videos, I thank GOD for your LIFE in CHRIST JESUS!!! I know that you are a brink of HOPE for a LOST soul out there!!! Thanks for sharing!🌸

[@dreadee34474]

That took my breath away and left me with tears. Snap snap snap snap snap

[@Godslady01]

This just broke something in me!!! Oh God..

[@MR_ZL717]

😯😯😯 Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

[@ophburke]

I can relate to this because I was sexually abused as a child multiple times. But God!!!!!

[@raquellpn7482]

This woman is speaking nothing but power..what a demonstration of the blood of Jesus.. I was molested by my cousins and I was punished because of them.

[@hodarileni7550]

Thanks janette! our freedom and healing is hidden in your words. . . thanks your pains

[@mbalim_Her.journey]

It has opened my mind and freed me from all the darkness i held inside. I hope it helps more people.

[@Franaflyby]

Pleeezzz come to Salt Lake City , Utah and put on a concert for us....PLEASE "))

[@EsteeCoako28]

My God. My God. My God. I am in tears this is partially my story. I just man ... God bless you all and this movement. All these videos have spoken so much to me. God bless her and all of you who have part in this production.

[@babybrat925]

i think we all cried watching this one. thank you P4CM for making videos like these... being poetic/lyrical is a blessing, and it's a blessing seeing it used in such a way that helps so many... including myself

[@mzbstreeter09]

Amazing, amazing, amazing. This really touched my spirit because I have gone through some of the same things and still am holding on to that and it happen 15 years ago but today that ends. You have truly inspired me and I'm giving it(all the pain and sorrow) to my Lord and savior because he is the only one that can mend my broken heart. Thank you.

[@latonyajohnson2757]

It's been 16 years for me, like you, I'm vowing to now let go . Good luck, many blessings.

[@hollypattersonwriter]

Wow that was the personal and deepest poem I have ever heard! GO JANETTE! she is a amazing poet!

[@backpacker3397]

"I assumed numbness meant healing ".. 🔥

[@revdrtom]

Wow. When I was five, my innocence was shattered by my sister's best friend. That was 42 years ago and I have never forgotten those moments. But thank God, I didn't totally submit to legacy of that abuse. God saved me and kept me for my wife. The scares are still there, but through the love a God, a good wife and an accountability partner...I have the victory.

[@PurelyDivine]

Dear God I thank you for this woman, this woman of God, this spoken word piece...Im a spoken word artist and I've never had the guts to tell my testimony this way...my testimony is almost identical to this and I thank God for this...this moved me in a way thats unexplainable...in tears right now...thank you.

[@Purplecamellia]

I am drowning in tears! This is powerful!!!

[@Silinganiso]

Here again. . . . But, "The present sufferings of the current time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us. "🔥🔥🔥 Thank You Genetics♥️

[@willow-wf3jf]

Very earth-shattering but love how she still worships God even though her youth was stolen. I heard a testimony of a woman who had been molested repeatedly as a child and she became involved in all kinds of rebellion later on. At one point, though, she had a near-death experience, and when she saw Jesus, the only thing she could think "why didn't I do more for you, Jesus?" and she didn't give a thought to misfortunes which befell her while alive in this mortal body. He is so overwhelming that His glory washes away all grief and all we can do is stand in awe.

[@AnnaBTsatokeEmpress]

your life...my life...some others life....

[@simplyratu]

POWERFUL ! POWERFUL!

[@mercythandiku7283]

ohhhhh Lord!i can't take a grip on myself

[@towannadiggs8774]

My Sister, this testimony has me on my KNEES, I accepted JESUS Christ into my life in my twenties I am now 55. There isn't enough space on here to share my testimony of my life after being raped by a cousin at the age of fifteen. I too loxked my secret away in the back of my mind until one day, I asked God why was I doing The things I did, it's was something that happened to me the gave surface to my SIN AGAINST God. I had been told by God years ago to WRITE a book, I started, and stopped. Really didn't feel it would capture alot of people like "US" who had a silent cry, and begging to be heard. I initially stumbled upon Jackie Hill videos, not for personal reason s of my own, though I did get alot out of what she shares of how God brought her out of her life choices of being gay. Hearing you inspired me to pick up my pen, and I will be doing videos soon of my life, before and after rape. GOD BLESS YOU MY SISTER.

[@matebogodorothyseape1311]

This had me in tears, you are so brave and courageous for sharing your painful testimony with us, thank you for letting me that the pain i had in my upbringing is going to be the same glory that God will use to bless another.

[@sherlockholmeslives.1605]

I am NOT a poet! I am NOT clever! I am a poor reader! I like the poetry of Thomas Shadwell and Nicholas Rowe. I know 2 very short poems to be able to recite from memoy by these 2 poets.

[@TheSpriceangel]

I just have to come by and revisit every now and then. Each time God speaks. Thank you Janette. ❤️💕❤️

[@kat27435]

Thankyou for your testimony this is very moving God has helped me heal I'm no longer a victim. I pray for those who are still battling with this please look to Christ 😇😇😇😇😇

[@DanieActsLke238]

" i can no longer put a band aid on a womb that needed surgery" - God bless you for this Janette. Your testimony spoke DIRECTLY to my spirit. Glory to God. This has been exactly my experience... thank you Janette. Thank you Jesus.

[@missapriloneida]

There is so much healing in this piece! Oh god bless this Woman of God!

Wow I am speechless ..... Janette you just got a standing 'O' from me girl !!!!!! YOU are so precious !!!!!

[@BeautifulScribbles]

I cried for what we both went through then I was excited about all the people who will be delivered from our openness I just started writing poems with my true testimony and I stumbled across your poem and I know it was confirmation for me not to be apprehensive or afraid to speak of what happened in my past All I can say is thank you continue to let God use your gift to shed light on the ugly truth that many would rather photoshop just to remain comfortable bless you I pray we meet one day

[@brittanymartin1026]

I don't even know how to fully explain the pain..the shame..the deceit..molestation shines its ugly head too many times in our society..yet ironically it happens in some of the darkest places and is unfortunately never spoken of until the scar is already "infected." I myself know of this scar all too well..but I also know and immense myself in a Light greater than any other. God's ways are not our ways, but I know His Will and purpose for me is greater than my past. So. I. Trust. HIM.

[@msxeunybunxy]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! I find it AH-MAZING how they used her for "what not wear" at church and they prolly embarrassed her but she kept going to church! even more amzing how the church wouldnt let her recite her poems l8r on!!she knew that church would be a place where she could get some healing! thats amazing because ive known people who have been embarrassed at church for one reason or another and their expereince becomes a reason why they stop going, but I thank GOD janette is okay now!!

[@kyliemrobertson28]

The testimony here is outstanding. However, God didn't "allow" your innocence to be taken. The Bible says in John 10:10 the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy and it was his plan going to action that caused it.The Bible tells us that Jesus came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly, we don't have to suffer because Christ already suffered in our place. We need to be thankful for that and dwell on being the righteousness of God through Christ.

[@RatherBeSquare]

Holy Jesus, this woman is incredible. The fact that she is able to articulate such victimization and the theft of innocence when there are so, so many little girls, young ladies and women hurting from this and the questions in their hearts are endless. I love this woman. Such an amazing voice for so many who've had their mouths sealed by the people they thought they could trust. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thank you for standing up Janette.

[@IamAbillionaireNow]

This was SAD yet BEAUTIFUL. My prayer is that we will all grow in a deeper understanding of our authority in Christ & the privilege of hearing God's voice because Jesus said My sheep know My voice&the voice of a stranger they will not follow. None of God's promises are automatic, they require our learning how 2get results. STOP SAYING 'SOMETHING TOLD ME" Read the Word worship, fast, pray&LEARN THE VOICE OF GOD. Acknowledge His Presence throughout the ENTIRE day,He will direct ur path-Proverbs3:6

[@theoneualwaysluv]

wow this testimony is amazing its funny how there are others who are going through this situation and dont have God in their life and don't know how to handle the mess and no one there to listen to them or help them and let them know that God has purpose and after all of it God will reward them and God love the them even though it feel like he is not there he is there but they have to go through their test and God will use them for his Glory for a testimony and every thing will get better.

[@2KnowLove]

Respond to this video... The bible warns us that offenses are inevitable but blessed are those who over come them. The church is made of an imperfect people so we cant go there expecting perfection. Just go expecting to hear from God. That is all that I meant. When God comes back he is going judge me alone and I will have to give an account for every word that leaves my mouth and every decision that I make.

[@2KnowLove]

@DJTripleThreat78 Please, don't be so quick to judge me either. You have no idea what God has done for my life. Yes, I know love because God is love and God showed me love repeatedly from the Cross down to healing my body of an incurable disease (polymiositis). I have come across offenses and hurts in the church but because of the love that I have for God I continued to return to his house of worship faithfully with joy and understanding that its all about God.

[@2KnowLove]

@DJTripleThreat78 Listen, I am sorry that I offended you. That was not my intentions, nor were my intentions to judge you. I don't take back what I said because church is a place of worship. Church is a place of refuge. It is where the sick go for healing. If you need healing (spiritually, emotionally, mentally, whatever the case) then the last thing you should do is let "people" stop you from going to the one and only true healer.

[@Mamimantha]

Powerful Woman of GOD! Blessed and touched my heart. Where i was last night was a place of asking "Lord, why me? Why must I feel this pain and heartache? Why do I feel as though I am being punished for wanting more than what I have now(PAIN ON TOP OF MORE PAIN) Now i realize its not about me but about GOD, And ALL THINGS TRULY WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD, Continue speaking, cause you are digging people out off deep holes. Much Love....

[@ChristinaVictoriaP]

@DJTripleThreat78 - I believe it is wrong for you to say that someone who was raised in a wonderful family could never help people like the poet, like you, or like me. Their family is what we should long to build for our future families, but this isn't about other people helping us, but Jesus Christ cleansing us. You're not alone, but no one grows up in perfect homes. They don't exist.

[@Monaex98]

@DJTripleThreat78 but that shouldn't stop you from goin more frequently.....find a church that is convient for you.! there are millions churches that aren't the old traditional church, no offence to them.but there are churches like my church where if you have a gift it will be used and we care for eachother.....but if you are looking for a perfect church there is no perfect church.!that's why we go to church to be perfected and more like Christ.!!!!

[@a6stubbs]

Tearfully I thank you God for using this ministry of spoken word and your child (Janette) that delivered such a moving, powerful and healing word, that could only come from you. This is going to help so many that are broken, and unwilling to seek restoration because of the enemies lies. God bless you all and let us all pray that those who need this testimony will see it and give God the Glory, Praise and Adoration that is due Him.

[@Uniklymade1]

I'm glad Janette...ikz had the strength and faith in Him to say what so many of us, whom had been molested and have not yet found the strength to say it... yet the hurt , hurt, and hurt by adults/molesters/family/ friends will always remain like an open infected wound that only He can heal. thnx Janette...ikz

[@MsOynx]

My God...Janette...ikz, is soooo anointed...This is exactly what I needed to hear for this time in my life. I thank God that she let Him use her...In this time and day the devil don't mind giving out his mess to the world raw...& in order for us to oppose it...we as True Believers eventually have to do the same, just so souls can be saved...

[@designersoriginal23]

This spoken word, "Truth Without Photoshop" is a powerful testimony of the transformative power that comes through the blood of Christ. Although I did not bear the scar of molestation, I am keenly aware of how the enemy tries to use it to destroy young people. Keep spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ Jeanette...ikz to everyone who has an ear to listen. God bless you.

[@2tontunic]

I won't argue but I would advise that you watch the video again. My interpretation is that she believes God allowed this to happen to her so that we may receive her testimony thus "encouraging us to give God the glory". Her life was turned around by that fact, if we do the same then we can also become better. God Bless

[@Breazy2011]

I was introduced to this video today and i watch the entire video and i cried. i cried because i, like herself went through the same thing. wondering the same thing. and through these trials no matter how much i stubble , no matter how many times i trip, God won't let me fall. so thank you for your testimony. May God bless you my sister.

[@ChristinaVictoriaP]

@hahayoudeserveit - You're very correct. In grade one I was molesting little girls in my class because of what I was subjected to. Satan then used two or three instances that had occurred to me, to make me believe that I needed to continue the behaviour. I grew up with a lot of shame because of what I had done to other people, even though I was only six.

[@ChristinaVictoriaP]

@iluvthaLord81 - You're not the only one - But I too had to go under God's knife before I could talk about it with others. I'm 28 now and I can honestly say I am completely healed. I had attempted suicide at 22 because it hurt so much. I had allowed myself to do so many bad things because I didn't know how to live, but today, this is not the case. I AM FREE!

[@musikpassion18]

someone needed this..thank you god and thank you for allowing god to work through you....at this very second I see the work god has for us... true his son suffered ,but only in flesh and in this flesh we suffer as well ... god I love you for this message ..I love you sister...all my brothers and sisters for god is our father

[@nascorob]

God gave birds eyes that can see uv but forgot to turn ours on, even though we have the capability, What a prangster god is. God made a infinite amount of Suns, just so we could look at them at night and say how pretty they are. God took all the oxygen away from 99.9999999999999999 percent of his kingdom "Space" because he found it rather amusing.

[@sharmstrachan]

Speak Sista Speak..... We have to put a stop to this. Child Molestation is SO rampant in this little country of ours. SPEAK OUT, SPEAK OUT, Sistas, Cousins, Aunties, grammys, and OMG Mommies... these are your little gurls SPEAK OUT!!!! Allow Christ to heal their hearts, their minds and their souls. Allow them the opportunity to be children. SPEAK OUT!

[@redon781]

you know God choses people. He let her go through all of that despite how painful it was because he had TALENT deposited in her, which He intends to let the world see. He is using her to spread the word. she is a dynamite of talent. You bless souls, lady. I hope this touches souls. No matter how hurt you think you are, you have a purpose. Dont ever let that go to waste.

MY EVERYTIME FAVOURITE POET. never dissapoint

[@Listenhoesitsmeh1]

I accidentally stumbled on this video. Janette, I think you saved my life. For the longest time I stepped away from god and did me because I was blaming him everything wrong with my life, but all I know is Jesus Christ is everything right. Pray for me as I try to get this thing right,

[@moonrock72]

i was in tears because i experienced almost the same thing and Jesus came and wiped everything away. he took all the pain away. Thank you lady for being bold to share your testimony through your poem. May God be the source of all things in your life. Glory to God

[@2KnowLove]

Respond to this video... So you cant let what other people (or don't do) determine what you do. Again, i am so sorry to have offended you. I hope that you can except my apology. I pray that my comment will not further deter you from God's house of refuge.

[@OandO]

@cjnpure25 Why is it that they need to be saved? Who's to say that they simply didn't like the piece or are you such an authority on all things that you would be in a position to speak to the divinity of those you don't even know? Must be nice being that righteous.

[@Ceemoore3000]

This a POWERFUL sermon. It is not just a poem. May God continue to use you Janette...Ikz. I had to send this link to others. She inspires me to return to my writing. We overcome "him" by the blood of the Lamb and by the WORDS of our testimony...far too many suffer in silence, TELL IT...
