Hardcore Atheist Turns To Christ After A Christian Patiently Explained The Gospel

by Christel Berns June 5, 2023

A hardcore atheist who hated Christians turned to Christ after a loving Christian patiently explained the Gospel with him.

Hardcore Atheist

Kap Chatfield hated Christians, especially when he was in high school. He was also a borderline Satanist. But despite being a hardcore atheist, God never gave up on him.

During college, Kap met a Christian in one of his classes who befriended him.

“He was the only Christian who was somewhat cool,” he recalled. Then Kap narrated what his Christian friend did for him to open up to him.

His Christian friend sat down with him and showed interest in his understanding of spirituality.

“And that build a bridge for me to have trust in him, to hear what he thought,” he recounted.

Hearing The Gospel

Then the Christian began to explain to him his misconceptions about the Bible that it “wasn’t this really long rule book” that he always thought it was.

“It was a love story about a God who created people to have relationship with Him who rejected this God,” he said. “And this God came down to literally sacrifice His life for the very people that rejected Him.”

He was mind-blown and his world was about to be turned upside down. He eventually gave his life to Christ and became a follower of Jesus.

“And it was because my friend had the courage to sit down with me and to share this good news with me,” he remarked.

At the end of Kap’s testimonial video, he urged believers to be that good friend who shares Jesus with others.

He stressed in the caption, “this is why it’s so important to share your faith, even with those you think are going to hate to hear it. Don’t hoard your Jesus story. Share it.”

Today, Kap is a pastor serving the Lord at Love Church in Omaha, NE.

Bible Verse of the Day Spotlight

Bible Verse of the Day: Be Known For Your Love

by Lily Benson May 30, 2023

written by Lily Benson

Christ says that you will be known for your love. Does the world see you as a person of displaying God’s love to your fellow believers?

Today’s Verse

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” John 13:34-35

Prayer

Lord, help me to comprehend the magnitude of Your sacrificial love, displayed on the cross for my redemption. Fill my heart with that same selfless, unconditional love—a love that extends beyond mere words and manifests in my actions, my attitudes, and my relationships.

Give me the grace to love those who are easy to love, for that is where I often find comfort. But Lord, empower me to love those who are difficult to love—the ones who have hurt me, betrayed me, or even those with whom I disagree. Help me to see them through Your eyes, with compassion and mercy, extending forgiveness and grace.

Help me to humbly consider others’ needs above my own, demonstrating acts of kindness and selflessness. May my life bear witness to the love that flows from Your heart through mine, drawing others to the beauty of Your gospel.

In the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Reflect

Is there a way that you can show the love of Jesus to one of your brothers or sisters in Christ today?
Is there unforgiveness in your heart toward a fellow believer? Ask the Lord for the grace to forgive them.

Woman Living In Darkness Now Preaches The Gospel To Millions

by Christel Berns May 29, 2023

written by Christel Berns

A woman who used to live in darkness smoking, drinking, and practicing witchcraft is now preaching the Gospel to millions.

From Darkness To Light

Nia-Cerise Conteh is a woman on fire for God, passionate about spreading the Gospel as much as possible. Many look up to her as a hero of faith because of her zeal for God. And behind all of it is a reason rooted in her gratefulness that God saved and redeemed her from the pit of darkness. She wants others to experience God’s freedom as well.

In an Instagram post, Nia shared video clips of her past self, living in darkness. She was wearing a very revealing outfit while partying. The video also showed Nia dancing daringly at a party.

“That’s me right there in that video, broken and empty,” she wrote. “I hope you understand why I now preach the Gospel so hard. Because I went hard for the kingdom of darkness for far too many years and now Satan will pay for these stolen years as I steal back souls for the kingdom of light!”

Your Past Doesn’t Define You

Nia stressed in her post that your past is not who you are. And God can use it for His glory.

“Let every religious person know that your past doesn’t determine how much God can use you,” she declared.

She also shared the Gospel in her caption. She added, “Did you know Jesus didn’t die for you to remain the same? He died to rescue you from your pit of sin, give you eternal life & to make you a new creation‼️”

She then remarked, “the key is to REPENT and to surrender to God.”

“God wants your life, your worship, your friendship! And He also wants to use YOU, not because your past was perfect but because He’s merciful. Jesus died a bloody death and resurrected from the grave on the 3rd day for mankind’s freedom. Today you can be washed in that blood that is still speaking today and enter into righteousness, eternal life and relationship.”

To end her post, Nia also shared practical steps so that people can start to cultivate their relationship with Christ.

Faith God's Word for the Day

God’s Word Today – The Joy of Your Salvation

by Lily Benson May 23, 2023

written by Lily Benson

The joy of your salvation is an internal and external happiness that comes from being redeemed by God’s grace.

What Does the Bible Say?

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” Psalm 51:12

You have received an incredible gift—the salvation provided through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. This gift not only secures your eternal life but also offers a profound and unshakeable joy that surpasses any circumstance you may face. Explore the depths of this joy, rooted in the unwavering promises found in God’s Word.

The gift of salvation is a blessing from God, not earned by your own efforts or achievements. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us that we are saved by God’s grace through faith. This truth should fill you with overflowing joy, knowing that our salvation is secure and cannot be earned or lost. You are forever loved and accepted by our Heavenly Father.

The joy that stems from the redemption you have received through Jesus Christ. In Psalm 51:12, David’s prayer to God resonates with us: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” Your salvation is not a one-time event but a continuous source of joy and renewal. Through Christ’s sacrifice, you have been forgiven, cleansed, and reconciled to God. Your sins have been washed away, and you are made new in Christ—this truth is worth rejoicing!

Psalm 96:2-3 says to sing, praise, and proclaim God’s salvation day after day. Your overflowing joy should compel you to share the good news of God’s salvation with others. As you bear witness to the transformative power of Christ, you invite others to experience the same joy and freedom you have found in Him.

Prayer

I pray that joy will rise within your spirit and create unshakable happiness that comes from knowing you are redeemed and set free. Lord, I thank you for a joy that bubbles up and overflows as a display of your goodness and faithfulness. Amen!

Bronx Rapper Preaches the Gospel

written by Lily Benson

Watch as a Bronx rapper preaches the gospel message at a boxing match, captivating the crowd, instilling hope, and praying for deliverance.

A renowned Bronx rapper delivered a performance that transcended the boundaries of entertainment. In a surprising turn of events, she boldly declared her faith in Jesus and extended an invitation to those grappling with their own personal battles.

Breaking away from the expectations of a typical performance, she courageously shared a deeply personal truth. With unwavering conviction, she declared her identity as a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx, unashamedly proclaiming her love for Jesus.

As the crowd hung on her every word, the rapper’s heartfelt plea resonated with a diverse range of people facing their own battles. Acknowledging that the fight within the ring was not the only struggle present, she extended a genuine invitation to experience peace, freedom, redemption, and hope through faith. Her presence on that stage became a powerful reminder that even in the face of success and fame, all believers should boldly proclaim the Gospel.

A Prayer for Deliverance

With outstretched hands and a room filled with anticipation, the rapper prayed that God would deliver those grappling with depression and anxiety. In that moment, the boundaries of entertainment dissolved, giving way to a shared sense of vulnerability, unity, and the possibility of redemption.

The rapper’s courageous act of transparency and faith had an undeniable impact on those present at the boxing match. Beyond the arena, her message reverberated throughout the community, sparking conversations.

May this remarkable event serve as a reminder that true victory lies not just in the boxing ring, but in the battles we fight within ourselves. Through faith, hope, and a willingness to embrace Jesus, we can find redemption, peace, and the courage to overcome even the most daunting challenges.

Pastor Has Open Vision Of Hell & Is Stirred To Preach The Gospel

by Christel Berns May 18, 2023

written by Christel Berns

A pastor went to hell and came back to earth with an urgency to preach the Gospel in a three-day crusade that led thousands to come to Christ.

Indonesian Pastor Philip Mantofa

Pastor Philip Mantofa is a pastor at Mawar Sharon Church in Indonesia. The church he leads has 30,000 congregants with “a network of 70 local churches” in the country. And as he leads God’s people, the Lord gave him in a vision through a dream. He went to hell and saw terrifying things people needed to hear.

Isaiah Saldivar. (Screenshot). (2022). Pastor Went To Hell Testimony, Retrieved May 18, 2023 from: https://youtu.be/KKw_ZmD74RQ

In a video by Isaiah Saldivar, Philip shared the vision he saw in his dream when he went to hell. The pastor also revealed that he received death threats and slanders for sharing his testimony. But he doesn’t mind if he can save one soul through it.

“If you want to kill me, still worth it,” he remarked.

Pastor Went To Hell

On January 1, 2000, Philip experienced a supernatural out-of-body experience. He woke up in a peculiar place and was puzzled about where he was. Then he heard the voice of Jesus behind him telling him, “you are here by My will. Go ahead and go forward. Walk on, I’ll lead you. I’ll show you something to tell other people.”

Apparently, the Lord led Philip into an encounter to show him several things. So, after walking on a very long path with a heavy presence, he saw a “huge white kid.” Then he saw a huge rusty door with supernatural writings in it. And Jesus told him to open the door.

“It’s not a supernatural experience,” Philip described. “It’s like almost physical, it’s not almost vision, it’s more than physical.”

Witnessing Gnashing Of Teeth

Soon, the door opened by itself because he wouldn’t want to touch the door. As the door opened, what he saw broke his heart…it was hell full of people crying out for help, gnashing their teeth, and being tortured by demons.

13-YEAR-OLD BOY CALLS RADIO STATION IN TEARS TO SHARE WHAT GOD TOLD HIM

After the horrifying things Philip saw in hell and he came back to earth and immediately organized a three-day crusade. He preached the Gospel and thousands came to Christ.

Watch Pastor Philip’s entire testimony in the video below.

Thousands Of Pakistanis Gathered To Hear The Gospel

by Rhoda Gayle May 15, 2023

written by Rhoda Gayle

Thousands of Pakistanis gathered to hear the Gospel during a prayer crusade where God performed signs, wonders and miracles!

Thousands of Pakistanis

A group of ministry school students testified of what the Lord did during a Gospel crusade in Pakistan. It was their first experience being in a crusade. They were in awe of how thousands of people came and gathered to hear the Gospel!

“The next thing you know you get on a stage in front of thousands of people, all waiting to hear the gospel,” Jordan recalled. “To see the students say, ‘I’m so hungry and in love with God that I will preach anywhere,’ that was so powerful to me.”

Ministry School Students

Jordan preached the Gospel in a simple way. When he called them to pray the prayer of salvation, thousands responded and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior that night.

“You’re in a closed Nation where people get badly persecuted, heavily persecuted for even sometimes mentioning the name of Jesus. Just seeing this crowd respond to the gospel was unlike anything,” Ben shared.

Miracles, signs & wonders

Not only did God save that night, but he also healed and performed miracles! There was even one woman who was set free from demon oppression after they prayed for her. Another woman also testified that the tumor on her neck miraculously disappeared.

A lot of people also came to be baptized, some of them have been Muslims all their lives, and some are even as old as 80 years old. The ministry school team also got the honor to minister to a family who is working as slaves in the brick factory. The Christian family was so poor that the owner of the factory loaned them money.

In exchange for that money, they would work as slaves in the brick factory until they pay off their entire debt. However, the interest on their loan was so high that it became impossible to pay off. As a result, their loans get passed down to their children.

It was generations of families living in slavery. But thankfully, the Lord blessed them through BSSM. Their debt got paid off and they had enough money to live for a couple of months. Jesus gave that family hope for a better tomorrow.

“Hope is so real because Jesus is so real,” Sarah testified.

What Does the Bible Say?

Sharing our faith no matter where we are is simple obedience to the call of God on our lives. Every believer is commissioned by Jesus to “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Mark 16:15

As a believer in Christ, you should be encouraged to share your faith with others through evangelism. It can be a daunting task, but when we think about the incredible gift of salvation we have received, it’s hard not to want to share it with others. The love, hope, and peace that comes from knowing Christ is too good to keep to ourselves. It’s a privilege to be a part of someone’s spiritual journey and to see them come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Don’t worry about having all the right words or being a perfect spokesperson; God can use all of us! Simply share your own story and your own experiences, and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. Whether through conversations with friends and family, volunteering at your church’s outreach events, or simply praying for opportunities to share your faith, every effort counts. So don’t be afraid to step out in faith and share the good news of Christ’s love with those around you.

Romans 1:16 says, ‘For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.’

Let us not be ashamed of the gospel, but let’s pray daily for boldness to share our faith and lean into opportunities that the Lord provides. You don’t have to be an extrovert for God to use you, you just have to say yes, and He will do the rest.

Ridding Yourself of Excessive Weight

by Margaret Green February 12, 2023

written by Margaret Green

If you know anything about weight gain it can alter our physical appearance. Most importantly, it can bring damage to our health. Often times we feel that if we carry our weight well we neglect to give it any attention. In a natural aspect, if we feel like we carry the weight in all the right places even though the weight is unhealthy we tend to throw a waist trainer on and just go! We buy bigger and more loose fitting attire to adjust to the weight gain. But what about the times the waist trainers, the spanks, the girdles, stretch pants, oversized shirts, oversized dresses, or high waisted jeans refuse to conceal and hide the excessive weight?

What about the time when the realization hits that “I need to get rid of this weight” because it’s literally killing me? Often times we tend to squeeze in a spiritual waist trainer or put on spiritual spanks to cover our real issues with the mind set that “No one will ever know.”

We find ourselves forcing a smile for the world, posting scriptures, posting on our social media pages, and sending words of encouragements to mask our issues with trust, issues with pornagraphy, issues with fornication, issues with faith, issues with ourselves, issues with dishonor, issues with jealousy, issues with gossip, identity issues, issues with our health, issues with marriage, and issues with relationships. All of these are weights the Lord does not want us to adjust to or conceal in the places only he is supposed to dwell. He wants to heal and restore you in every area of our life because it’s killing the true peace, the true joy, and the manifestation of the life he’s ordained for us to have.

Hidden Weights

Jesus spoke and said come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11:28-3 ). We will encounter life, we will encounter people, issues, and problems that are unavoidable and some times instead of placing those situations in the hands of our Father in Heaven and resting in him we tend to carry them. We feel bogged down, weighted, tired, drained, and to our wits end, but yet we carry burdens we were never meant to carry.

Release it all… So God Can Release It All.

Hidden weights often also involves forgiveness for offenses and betrayal. Allowing yourself to be forgiven for the offenses you’ve also created, being accountable for self created storms, and releasing the guilt and condemnation and freeing yourself through the love of Jesus Christ is attached to God’s favor and breakthrough. Truth and confession will always rid us of unnecessary weight. The Bible saids that “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth ” ( John 4:24 ). Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16).

God wants our lives to be fruitful and overflowing in the abundance of peace and joy. His desire is for us to be living testimonies of his goodness and mercy, yielding a continual harvest of all the amazing and wonderful things he has in-store! Could it be the very people we hold on to are the very people that’s blocking the view of those who God has sent to be destiny helpers? Could the spiritually unhealthy things we tend to hide or deny be the very things that keep us on a constant cycle of looking for the promise instead of obtaining them because we are not on the same path as the promise? Release them all so God can release it all.
