Transcripts

so hi all my name is Rosie and I'm going

to share my testimony um about the Lord

Jesus Christ and how he saved me

so I'm 47 now and I was saved about 2

and a half years ago around about May

2020 um when everything was going a

little bit crazy with Co

um and my husband and I started

to basically research everything that

was happening because we didn't

fully believe what was going on um what

I was seeing with my eyes and what was

actually happening were seemed to be two

very different things and so we started

to research and joined in with what was

called the truth movement at the

time um but now being saved and coming

to the full knowledge of who the truth

is and that is our Lord Jesus Christ um

I can see that the truth of movement was

just another rabbit hole and another way

of feeding into our pride and our egos

with regards to what we know the truth

and nobody else does whereas the truth

of our Lord Jesus Christ is for

everybody um and he's just waiting for

everyone to come to him for he is love

and he loves us and he died for us he

died while we were

Sinners so the history is for me I was

brought up in an atheist home had

nothing to do with Christianity the only

times um ever came near to anything like

um was in the schools where we used to

back then still say the Lord's Prayer in

school assembly

so I knew of a God and of Jesus but

nothing was ever in my

awareness um never spoke about it at

home never really spoke about it in

school um religious studies that we used

to do um never seemed to touch on

Christianity an awful lot it was every

other

religion um and if it did touch on

Christianity then it was one of those

lessons that people just never paid

attention and I'm ashamed to say I was

definitely one of them too never paid

attention um not

interested at all and when you're a kid

you know you um you follow your lead and

if your parents are atheists then then

that was good enough for me at the

time so going into the adult Arena then

leaving school um joining the Navy and

getting into a lifestyle of Deery

basically lots of

drinking um lots of sexual

encounters

um no drugs at the time none of that

that came later um but at the time

alcohol was really the drug of choice

and for many people and what's

unfortunate is it's culturally accepted

as well so

with all that going on

um and with everything at the time being

bombarded to us through either the media

I can look back at even the songs the

celebrities everything was in my

generation pointing to girl power and

all that rubbish that comes with it um

so it gives you a false identity and it

really does take away true Womanhood

from you um but again not realizing any

of this at the time just being led by

what we were being

fed um so from one indoctrination to

another many many years down the line

many failed

relationships um I was rejected by my

parents which is why I joined the Navy

in the first place

so um I didn't have Roots I didn't have

grounding um I didn't have family to

turn to um during Royal Navy holiday

time I was probably one of the only ones

and there was a few others that just

used to stay on the base because there

was nowhere to go

so you know you continue with that

lifestyle because you don't have any

Roots you don't have any

grounding um I'm also a recluse very

much so very much a

Hermit um so I and I struggle with um

people I I always have done I I was not

brought up

nurtured um I wasn't taught really how

to socialize properly um I did have

friends at school but I used to usually

have just the one

friend um I was bullied um very badly

and because my father was in the RF we

moved around a lot and so we just went

from one place to another so no roots no

long-term friends um rejected at home

and then bullied at school so I entered

into my adult life and you know there's

people that do condemn me and still

condemn me to this day

um of my lifestyle but the drinking and

I did start to binge

drink it was the only time that I felt

that I F F in with people or Society

because when I was sober um yes I did my

work I could get up every day and go to

work I wasn't um what I considered an

alcoholic um although I probably was but

I could easily give up you know I didn't

have withdrawal symptoms or anything

like that if I stopped drinking alcohol

um but I could go out and drink and I

could get up every day and go to work

and so people never saw a problem I

never saw a problem with that but it was

a problem um and it was a big problem

and the biggest one was it was

masking it was masking

really me and I couldn't be me in in

front of people even even up to today um

I still

struggle um I've joined a a couple of

churches just to just to see but I found

that the auditor

church is overwhelming there's a lot of

people lots of

personalities um lots of lovely

people um I don't fully agree with a lot

of the church's doctrines uh these days

um but I will get into that a little bit

later with what's called the Lan Church

um but that's um a story for another

time but if you're anything like me and

maybe you're a Believer or an unbeliever

and you're a lost sheep

and the thought of walking into a huge

Auditorium with lots of people um puts

fear into you then then you're not alone

um I'm definitely one of them and I

still struggle now and I always find if

I try and reach out to people that um

they they never answer me so and I'm

kind of used to that because I'm I'm

someone that

um people don't tend to like and I don't

know why that is but

um I I really don't know I I I could

question that all day

so again my testimony um with the

drinking kind of as I got older and

older and

older you know your body can't take it

much anymore and you let the demons in

that that's exactly what you do you just

let the demons in and because drinking

was the only time I ever fit in it's

just something that has always just been

a crutch to me I have now stopped

drinking um I didn't straight away

coming to being a Christian I did have a

couple of binge drinking

episodes um but I just took it to the

Lord straight away the next day and now

i' I don't touch the stuff at all now

but that's for me I'm not saying you

can't drink as a Christian but if you've

had problems with drinking then it's

probably best to give up is what I'm

saying so with that lifestyle um I was

also getting involved in the ult now I

had a friend who was heavily into the

cult is a solitary witch and so I went

down that path as a solitary witch

and doing anything occult will let more

demons in they are just open doors to

let these demons in I'm getting tattoos

I've got four tattoos one of them is

horrendous you know when I look at it

now well I can't look at it it's it's

like a big dragon with with a rose on it

and I just think wow I was so Led Led to

get that

tattoo um not to mention the fornication

you know that sex outside of marriage I

have been married once um but that that

failed um we were just too young um and

I think we both had issues that we were

dealing with as well so we were not good

for each

other

um so with failed relationships um

opening up doors with the occult and I

talk also as well about the new age now

that came a little bit later and the new

age is everywhere now if no one's heard

that before then it's all about the

Awakening um The Age of Aquarius um yoga

meditation raiki uh crystals all of that

there's so much more to say about that

too but I'll just say that I was into

all of it um even the um like the star

seeds with regards to thinking that

you're a pladi and star seed um that's

aliens that you're an alien Spirit

that's come here to help the Earth get

into the fifth dim menion and that's all

about Awakening as well all of these are

huge huge

deceptions

that it's basically being like a kid in

a sweetie

shop you can pick what you want to suit

yourself and in essence you are becoming

a little God because it's all about you

it's all about your own truth it's all

about what you

want um and so many times now it's all

about your truth oh it's my truth it's

your truth and not mine and all

this when there's really only one

truth and that truth is our Lord Jesus

Christ now he saved

me and what happened was on a particular

night I went drinking with friends and

we started smoking marijuana as well and

we went from beer onto wine onto run you

name it um the party was flowing and

again just didn't see anything wrong

with this at

all and something took over my

body and bearing in mind at this point I

hadn't done any drugs until I

was into my 40s I can't remember the

exact time but I was in my 40s and I

even went to Vietnam partied

hedonistically

partied um you know you start going to

festivals I didn't start going to

festivals until I was in my 40s either

everything that came with a new age you

know vegetarianism and I'm not against

people that a vegetarian but all of that

seemed to come with it it was like you

know vegetarian and then you had to go

one step further and become a

vegan um and then all of that um you

know saving the

planet um Eco Warriors all of that it's

just all part of this new age and then

the festivals um and it's such false

love it really is you know I met so many

people at that place who when you're

deep in MDMA LSD or what or whatever

your choice of drug was

you know everyone was best friends on

that night but the next day or the next

day after most wouldn't even speak to

you you know it was everyone just went

back to being an individual again and

that's what I noticed about that

scene um even in Vietnam you know it was

like a surface Paradise but everyone was

um like big egos huge Pride going on and

um you know I'm not against that stuff

either either that that area you know

but that just seemed to me the way that

people were it was you were an

individual you were not a group or a

community even though you thought you

were you very much it was just you were

your own God you did your own thing and

do what thou

Wilt is the whole of the law with

regards to that and a lot of people

didn't care about others that you know

you could use people and throw people

away it was that sort of thing

and it's really not good for the soul

it's not good for the spirit it really

isn't and it's false love and you you

think you're having the best time of

your life but you're really not you're

really not having it a great time

because your spirit is dying you are

spiritually dead you know so you go from

one shortterm pleasure to another and

never ever have your spirit fulfilled

and you never will the only person that

can fill your spirit is the Lord Jesus

Christ and so I go back to the

night it was nearing the end of the

night for me

anyway and we started arguing again you

know the truth of movement stuff and

what's right what's wrong um which again

was just another deception it was just

another way of dividing people and

um you know the enem is very good at

instilling fear in people and dividing

people and the enemy is very good at

making you turn away from God and you

know distracting you putting your focus

completely on something else and so

that's what we found as well um with the

churches coming to the churches at that

time which I'll I'll discuss later so

this particular night night

um I then lost control of my body and a

demon possessed my body it overtook me I

stood in the middle of the room and I

sort of opened it it open my mouth like

this so I was stood straight arms

straight up

and mouth just open and out of that

[Music]

came a scream from hell is the only way

I can describe

it it was a it was awful

and then it took me around the room

sniffing people like I was a

dog sniffing people and then when I got

to my

friend he just looked me in the eyes

straight in the eyes um and I just

walked out the room then I staggered

back to my van and we were staying in

camper vans

and these two loud male voices were

shouting shouting shouting at me um you

know Drive get in your van go home

you've got to drive now drive drive

drive you know really loud male

voices and with that um I Heard a soft

voice say to me eat something and go to

bed and that was that was all the boys

said I know now that it that this voice

was an

angel so the next day I woke up knowing

something bad had happened that night

before and so that night I got home

and I was in bed and I was about to drop

off to sleep and in the spirit the two

demons came back and tried to drag my

spirit and soul out of my

body now I'd already seen a testimony on

YouTube

about the Lord Jesus Christ and who he

really is because he's the son of God

and I'd already in my

heart believed and even said out loud no

no Jesus is the son of God so I had

Jesus in my mind when this was happening

to me and I called out to him to save

me and he

did and it was the most amazing amazing

experience and I know not everyone is

going to have this and I listened to so

many testimonies and everybody's

testimony is different and it's amazing

every every single testimony is perfect

for that person and for me this is what

I needed I really needed

a well it was it was like

um an amazing

powerful Rush of wind that came through

my spirit and through my soul and he

filled my heart with love filled it with

love and the demon demons were gone they

had no chance they've got no chance with

the power of God the power of Jesus once

he comes into

you and then everything

changed I changed my life changed I was

with um my now husband at the time um we

got married after he was saved as well

so it took a few months after my

experience for my now husband to be

saved

um but initially he thought I was nuts

when I told him my testimony and I told

him about Jesus he did think I was nuts

but the change in me was so

drastic um that he thought there's got

to be something to what I'm

saying and we've already come to think

there's got to be a god there's got to

be something bigger than we are and so

he was on that path already and we'd

already started to read the Bible and

and

what an amazing

book that is and book doesn't

even you know it's not a good enough

word for what it is because it's living

it's a word it's a Living Word the Lord

is in that word and he changes you

through the word and so another um bit

of advice I would give is to anyone who

believer or

unbeliever get your mind get your head

in the Bible and read it because it will

change you and you need to read it every

day it's got to be your daily bread read

it every day it will change you over

time and if you fall the Lord Jesus

Christ is there to pick you up you know

he specializes in the broken and I am

still broken but he's putting the pieces

back together and you know every now and

then it'll bring something to my

remembrance and I will either cry or I

need to repent

or just have to work through something

you know he's an emotional healer he'll

heal everything he heals physically

emotionally

spiritually the Lord Jesus Christ will

save you because he saved me and I was

deep deep in sin deep in sin I have so

much more to say of sort of things I did

but you know the bottom line is I was a

heathen for many many years and I was 45

46 when I got saved I forget how old I

was in 2020 but um you know so it's

never too late either for people and so

I will just

then say that

if if you like me and a lost sheep and

then you feel like you can't go into the

churches hon honestly a lot of the

churches now are the loudest in church

and I wouldn't

recommend you know most of them there

are some good ones out there so just

look around and ask the

Lord to

discern which is a good church for you

but otherwise you know I know that there

are networks out there house churches

are getting

together um but for me at the moment I'm

still working through my

woundings and the Lord Jesus Christ is

helping me to slowly slowly start to

Fellowship um although I'm I'm still not

fully fully committed to a church just

chat

um I I trust in the Lord Jesus Christ

and what he's doing in my life um but in

these end times I would just be careful

um with with who you go to the church

and see and listen

to um because there are so many

deceptions out there and coming from

witchcraft I can see that in a lot of

the churches they absolutely practice

Witchcraft and they don't even know it

and that is a whole whole different

subject altogether um I'm not against

the church at all because it's the Lord

Jesus Christ and our father will work

through

whatever um structure that we we put in

place the father and the Lord Jesus

Christ is more powerful than anything

and so you know they they will work

through whatever

structure men men puts in place um but

for the new Believers out there just and

the Believers like me that are like lost

sheep you know struggling with mental

health um depression and especially

social anxiety um I've suffered all that

and I still suffer and I still struggle

I know the Lord Jesus Christ is with me

and I always put it to him the burden um

but

auditoriums they they can be

overwhelming but you're not alone you

are not alone there's people people like

you like me out there and the Lord Jesus

Christ we belong to him thank you for

listening to my

testimony
