Ex Gang Member interview-Johnny (follow up)

[@kylejohnson6279]

When he says 'I trusted myself', I think that's synonymous with pride. His pride led him to the bad decisions he made, but later his trust in God gave him humility.

[@deevillarreal9475]

💯 absolutely Eve relied on her own thinking, Adam may have questioned what if nothing will happen if we eat of the fruit of knowledge, the original Bible canon does not specify the fruit.

[@sogno_di_carta6430]

The ego. That's why God wants you to let go of your ego. Another thing I have learned watching a preacher named Cliffe, is that because God delegated part of his power to us when he gave us free will, he does not intervene in any of the choices we make unless we ask. This explains why there is evil in the world and God doesn't intervene. Also, from another perspective that makes a lot of sense to me as an artist, you have to realize that if God gave us free will, why would he intervene? For that he could have just let us be without will. What's the logic behind giving us something if he is gonna control it? When I create something I'm in full control, that's why this way of thinking about it makes a lot of sense to me. So your ego won't let you see that the reason why you can make choices is because God gave you that power. It's interesting topic even if you arent a beliver of God.

Because of you I reached out to my parents today after not speaking to them for almost a year. I was so afraid that they wouldn’t accept me or want me back in the family but I just picked up the phone and called them. Your story of reaching out to your dad to apologize and let you know you forgive him after not talking to him for nearly 20 years, and it going well, gave me the courage to do this. Thank you Johnny.

AMEN! Believe in Jesus Christ, only and follow the Good Lord & His laws, precepts, statutes and commandments. Jeremiah 17:9-10 KJV The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

[@MichaTheLight]

I think there is a misunderstanding we are here to develop our own ability to make decisions but some of us get so deeply lost that the intervention of the beyond is necessary but this can only work when ppl honestly confess to themselves and the beyond that they are at the end of their wits and that they need guidance. (This is original sense of the confession in the catholic church see godfather 3 when Michael confesses first time to a priest in 30 years - the priest says: you can be forgiven and live with God but you don't believe that stuff (again disbelief)) But this existence isn't there that we avoid any risks, that we avoid become individuals, we shouldn't be all the time dependent (cause we should become in his (lords) likeness) This can only happen if we are able to make own decisions therefore we have free-will ("bestowed upon us from the lord") If you checkout NDE's you will see the same logics and explanations again but also new stuff NDE's helpede to better understand the beyond. The authentic testament of beyond, entities, God/Brahman etc is helpful for understanding. Ps: There is a risk in only following without questioning cause things which aren't from the beyond can be passed as such.

[@sicsempertyrannis3782]

​@@shepherdofjudah3715 From what I gather is it is when someone is born into a Christian family, but either loses faith or true faith is never truly there but true faith is restored in their hearts and they truly begin to follow God, meaning they forego all their worldly desires, sins, and attachments and live only for Jesus Christ and The Father. I can hardly believe I'm starting to see as I was someone who spent a lot of time arguing against religion and faith, believing it was all created just to control the populace, just about a week or two ago I was still an agnostic, and I was for nearly all my life. As soon as something clicked out of nowhere in my mind, I go on a forum I frequent that is not Christian at all, and there is a thread that says nothing but "At last I truly see" with a picture of three crosses on the thumbnail. Many more inexplicable "coincidences" have happened since where I struggle with explanation of scriptures and the answers just appear. I'm still lost because I'm as stubborn as it gets, but I suppose I now see the only true path to take thanks to the Grace of God.

It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We work out our own salvation with fear & trembling. The Lord warns us not to rely too much on our flesh, as it can lead us astray. We should take refuge in the Lord rather than princes, knowing that He will always be by our side no matter what happens in the future.

I really needed to hear this (I just watched the first video as well). I think a lot like Johnny did when he was getting into trouble. I was also living a bad life addicted to drugs, hanging out with people I shouldn’t have, doing bad things, etc. Since I was a child, I truly thought that I was always right. When Johnny said that it’s because people like that don’t “think deeply” I got upset. Because even though I had that “always right” mindset, I still thought deeply. Then shortly after he said “deep thinking is different than overthinking” and that really made sense to me. I thought I was deep thinking but I’ve actually just been overthinking this whole time. A lot of things Johnny talks about really connect with me (as I am sure they do with most of us). I am 3 years sober and a mom now but I am currently struggling with really bad depression. These interviews helped me remember there is another perspective here. I forgot how to think because I’ve been doing things trusting my first thoughts for so long. Now after watching this I can remember to slow down and think about what’s really happening and listen to my heart instead of the resilient, intrusive thoughts that come to me. I hope this all made sense. It’s hard to put what I am thinking into words right now. Thank you Johnny for speaking to people and helping so many of us! I don’t think you will truly understand the impact you are making on people. Also, I actually cried when he was talking about meeting his dad to say sorry and his dad apologizing back. 🥲

I'm Buddhist and his video gave me courage to finally stand up for myself by confronting my abusive parents after I have cut them off over 10 years ago. My Mum was physically and mentally abusive to me my entire life where she told me many times that she wished I was never born. The tragedy is, that my ignorant father, siblings, cousins and relatives have not protected and supported me ever. When I confronted them this year, my parents only got defensive and blame everything to me. But I'm glad that I stand up for myself, because I can finally let go of my family. Let go of the desire that they will change. Let go of the vision that they will be one day caring, supportive and loving to me. I accept now for who they are and I take responsibility for my life now. I'm 32 and I feel like I'm living my life again. In my opinion blood makes me related but love, trust and respect makes family. My husband and my friends are my family.

I am sorry that you have endured such pain. I can relate completely. I am 38, it took me about 20 years for me to open my eyes fully.

It has been unbelievably painful and lonely, yet a blessing to learn and become aware, so I can stop chasing the illusion of family that is so desired from these blood relatives which is hurting me.

I love your analogy of not trusting someone else who is a liar, yet we trust ourselves. We don't even need to use the word liar, it works with words like "fickle" or "changeable". One moment we think we are so right, and somebody else is SO wrong. Yet eventually (one would hope), we usually come to find the part we played in some matter. Or one moments being in a terrible mood, "woe is me, all is lost!", and then that mood or season passes and we feel much more balanced and reasonable. Well, anyway.

[@MotherOfHope4U2]

So grateful to hear from Johnny again. I especially appreciated his comments about overthinking versus thinking deeply. And the trap of “believing in yourself” stays with me. Thank you!

[@Lechron]

love seeing the videos where the interviewer has overcame something and can articulate why and how they did. Johnny has a special story and should be proud of whats hes done and learned to get to a better spot. mad props!

[@puqbit028]

Ever since his first interview I really love this guy and his messages. The main thing I really do love about him is that he's happy. Many people with way wealthier and better upbringings are miserable and yet he's really happy.

[@loliemanda9025]

Thank you Johnny for the 2nd interview. What you said is correct about trusting yourself. The root cause is pride, the spirit of pride to be exact. Waking in humility will keep us safe. Bless you brother.

[@jackiebuchanan7458]

I sent this to so many friends. Just needed to share. I enjoyed so much.

[@mistyvalles5038]

Such a pleasant presence about him, glad he's getting the recognition for his changes!

[@Bluespindle]

This really resonated with me and I made my son watch it. There are many pearls of wisdom here; there is so much elightenment that he has gone through and there is great value in him sharing this. I hope that Johnny continues to spread his message and realizations because it really has incredible value.

[@vaniagoncalves6510]

Favorite person you had on your show❤️❤️❤️. Wow!! He is so powerful!!!

[@susannielson2134]

This guy is truly living his faith. You know Truth when you hear it.

[@stillwatersrundeep777]

I’m so glad you brought back Johnny, Mark! I appreciate all he has to say and I don’t get bored of listening to him. SWU Interviews my two favorite “Johnny’s”, different sides of the spectrum but both so interesting!

[@tropi001]

Thanks!

[@Mykeynikey22331]

I saw Johnny first on the jk new podcast, and even with that one podcast, he's started to help me realize things about myself and life. Not many people have been able to do that for me in my life.

[@deanjacobs6693]

Your message reached far and wide Shout out from South africa 👍

[@vickyshan6302]

Thank you Mark and Johnny for sharing this inspirational story to me and most importantly the entire world. The goodness of this video will be touched by many folks who need this inspirational light .

[@ZombieRofl]

[@britneebraylen3398]

[@princessleah341]

Thank you for your testimony Johnny! A book about your life & thoughts would help so many. God bless you!

[@vincentsmith9811]

Johnny, I think your views on deep thinking vs. overthinking are very insightful. Through my own journey, I've also learned that empathy and compassion are key principles to not only live a happy, fulfilling life, but to also impact your environment and the people around you in helpful and positive ways. Thank you for sharing your story and insights brother.

[@stevenchau2545]

I'm so glad Johnny is back with a follow up. The first interview with Johnny was what grew me into this channel. Thank you for the follow up.

[@Youropinion925]

“ Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” John 8:36. Johnny is filled with the Holy Spirit, all glory to God.🙏

[@Sunny-sd4ol]

Please write a book and narrate the audio version! You are captivating and moving.

[@zaytime4156]

Great story. I am 27 years old and a ex blood gang member myself. I have been Stabbed shot the dude stabbed me, shot, jumped to where I lost consciousness, beaten by my own gang, incarcerated, etc. basically everything that come w/ that life and while I was in it I accepted that I was living a certain way and that’s what comes w/ the life I was living. I resonate w/ a lot that he’s been through and have similar outlook on life now that I’m older and inactive

[@Sergeant_Fury]

I love the idea of a man, or woman, realizing he, or she, doesn't have the answers and, in order to find wisdom and redemption, has to be humble and accept outside help. Hitting rock bottom. Very inspiring. Keep up the good work.

[@uuuuuuuuiiiiiii]

He’s a very good storyteller, and an uplifting one. That’s rare, I hope he reaches a lot of people
