what's your testimony? share it with me here!
Hey Ashley, back in 2019 i gave my life to Christ. Before this (in 2018) My family started having a really terrible time coping with bills. I got kicked out of school, my dad lost his job, we basically only had little to go by. I remember having to write my final exams as my family lived with our Pastor and his wife in their little apartment. Eventually, after i got kicked out of school, my mental health went under. I'd be left at home till late-ish and would literally sit in the dark just staring. My life was really going under but then Jesus stepped in. A friend of mine posted different things about Jesus and Scripture on her story and that's how I came to know the Lord. Ever since then my life and that of my family have changed. Literally God has opened financial doors, my education is moving forward so much has happened and honestly it's great to belong to Jesus🥰🥰🥰
I gave my life to jesus in 2021 . 1 I was a lesbian and lusted after women and hated christianity because i thought they hated me 2. I had a medical condition called Fnd you guys can search it up but in basic words it’s seizures and tics and 3. I loved cardi b and all these worldly artist so I cussed and listened to that type of music. so i. 2021 i was so broken and scrolled on tiktok and it was a girl sharing the gosple and realized i needed him but the Devil was play8ng with me telling me hateful things in my mind so I asked God to fight it for me and he did but i still had Fnd and dealt with homosexuality and I watched a video of a pastor saying God hates guys and they will never have a relationship with him and just full of hate so I strayed from God because i thought he hated me until I went back to inperson school and developed a crush on a boy and realized that i like men know so I started
reading my bible and praying now about my FND i still have it but i haven’t had a seizure in a year and i still have tics time to time but I am gald no more seizures and when I found you I started being motivated to read and pray daily
Hi Ashley I’m 12 😊 I gave my life to Jesus when I was little probably around like 6 years old but I never really took it seriously but this year when I was at a camp with our church, but during the night service I saw my friends just all breaking down crying because the Holy Spirit was just falling on us and I didn’t really feel anything so I walked up to the alter I closed my eyes and I just prayed to God I surrender every thing and now I trust the Lord even more and now I take my faith very seriously
I grew up in a Russian Orthodox family. At least with my mum. I was baptised at an early age ( all children were actually: my brothers and cousins. We were all babies), so I knew the baseline of faith. I always accepted Christ, but I didn’t really have a relationship with him. We pray before dinner, we fast before Easter (Lent) We have an icon of Jesus and Mother Mary, I have an icon of my Guardian Saint Martyr: Hope. The beginning of my relationship was the second time my paternal grandfather got really sick (2019). We were in Italy in September that year. One day, my step-dad (whose Catholic) took me to a nearby church in Rome. I walked around (it was really beautiful) and came to an image of Christ. I had been constantly worried about my grandpa. I just fell and prayed that my grandfather would recover. When we returned, we were told he was recovering slowly. Slowly, but there was a big chance he would survive. The whole year was a massive blow to us. As I mentioned it was the second time this had happened, I am very close to my paternal grandfather. But I never turned back. However, I kind of forgot about Jesus and Lord. I never forgot what he did though. Last year I moved to Russia from Australia. That was a horrible 4-5 months. My back was turned. I was leaving my family, my friends. I’ve been to my mum’s hometown anytime, so it wasn’t knew or scary, but the thought that I might never see my friends and family again scare me. Only a month and a bit ago, I realised, all this time I had some one else on my heart. We weren’t together, he didn’t;t like me, he had a girlfriend. But we were friends. Not close, just friends. For some reason he occupied my thought months after I moved. But I’m glad I’ve started to read the bible, pray and talk to God.
Your testimony was so moving an inspiring, Ashely, keep up the wonderful work. God bless you!
Girl! So happy to hear your full story. It's so amazing everything God has brought you through, He truly never stops loving us.
What hit home for me would be that He can heal all things, our hearts, minds, souls, bodies, and pasts. I've been blessed to grow up in a Christian home, but that definitely doesn't rule out struggle and attacks of the enemy. I dealt with insecurity in my body and image around 13-14. Basically expecting mother nature to do more for me more quickly. LOL It led me to view things I shouldn't of and that honestly just troubled me more. I had had an "ok God I'm done with this moment" but didn't fully surrender it. The enemy had me in so deep that I didn't even realize it, I fell back to the "viewing" again here and there over the next month or 2. Then I was at youth group one night, an amazing service and then the holy spirit fell during the alter call and God lifted that weight off of my shoulders, my heart, and my soul. It felt like an instant drop off from my mind to the floor and I felt like I could fly, honest truth. I spiritually could feel all of that junk, weight, and hurt drop to the floor in front where I was standing and I left it there. Walked away that night free, never falling back into that rut. I found my image to be beautiful and exactly how God wanted me to be at that time of life. I saw myself through His eyes not the world's. He truly loves us, even when we waver, as you said Ashley, He's patiently waiting. It was a process over the next year to 2, to have the full realization and appreciation of who I was as a daughter of Christ. I've of course had many other struggles and most just these past 2 years. But I can now say, with a thankful heart, that God has delivered me from it all and I am as of this year growing closer to Him then I have for a very long time. I'm not on a perfect schedule yet, but it's a daily process and commitment that I refuse to lose sight of. Your encouragement and messages were truly an inspiration and a light from God for me Ashley. I know that He literally started putting your posts in my Pinterest feed. So never stop doing what God calls you to, He will always bless more than you know with your obedience. Thank you sweet sister. ❤️
thank you so much i cried listening to your amazing testimony. im 14 years old and got saved from anxiety and depression about 2 months ago then a week later got baptized and now ive been praying so many times a day and im starting to read the bible and i love your videos so much, ive been sick this past week and have been binging your videos they are so real and relatable thank you, god bless!!
I’m so happy for you! I’m also a teenager and got saved last year!
Praise the Lord!!!
@@megan2617 yay!
Kept on going! God loves you ❤️
Praise the Lord! I’m so so happy for you! I hope you feel better soon :)
God saved me from a suicide attempt almost 2 years ago, he changed my life, brought my family close together and taught me love. I’m so grateful for Him ❤️
cmon LORD! Praise God!
Jesus loves you John 3:26 Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 29:11
I am so grateful that you took the right path
praise the Lord!! He is so good, and you are so valued and loved!!
This was my story too. Glad we get to see the hope and love that was waiting for us.
I grew up in an atheist home, I didn't know who God was until I was 17, my high school sweetheart told me about Jesus and I wanted to learn more about Jesus so I started going to church with him, my family did find out and it got so bad to the point where I had to move out and becoming a believer was the best decision I have ever made and now I am married to my high school sweetheart!
Do you realize what your really doing? God has led me to you! I have been in panic for 10 months and going on days without sleep (I’m talking minutes of sleep if I’m lucky). This is what I’ve needed to hear. I’m a Christian but I’m not in the word like I should be. This is saving lives. Thank you Heather❤
cmon Jesus! There is such a freedom found in the name of Jesus. i am so glad He led you to this community. His word is powerful - the only weapon you need.
@@ashleyhetherington_ thank you Heather! I made my index cards last night
@@ddawn8977 Keep Going!!!!

Hi everyone. I have something beautiful to share. My testimony. I was suffering from depression, fear and anxiety. So many people told me to go to psychiatrist but I refused and started praying...started reading John. What a beautiful chapter. Till 9 months nothing happened. My situation was same but I used to pray pray and pray...one day it was all gone...I was free...free of fear,, anxiety and depression. Prayer does work. God is faithful. Know that your situation is only temporary. May be in this painful time god is teaching you something. May be he is getting you closer to him. Because we humans...trust him with all your heart. He will deliver...surely. God bless 😀😀
Praise the Lord!! I'm so happy for you sister! There is nothing impossible for our God! May He bless you. ❤
praise the lordd!!! well, in my case, last year, I was also in a horrible case but went to psicologist, because my situation was traumatic and with physical consecuences, but the Lord!!! he was with me the whole time!!! now he is waiting for me to talk with him again this day, May he be with you!! we are all strong with Jesus, Amen!!!
It's so nice to hear the testimony of someone who wasn't raised in the church. I wasn't raised in the church either so I always feel shy sharing my testimony.
you are not alone 🤍
hey, you are inspiration to people as us who werent raised in a strong faith and just a "common" life, may God bless you!!@@ashleyhetherington_
Girl me too! I wasn’t raised in a Christian family so talking about my testimony and about the Lord was hard but he will guide us every step of the way
I grew up in the christian communtiy but never really like paid a whole of attention to God. Recently at the end of 2023, I started my walk with God. I love this communtiy and boy do I love the Lord. I working on connecting Jesus and my life together and working on my patience. I cant wait to see wha God has for me in 2024.
A few months ago, I was having friend problems and started to get sad alot.Then, I saw one of your videos, and I began reading the bible, and trying to go to church with my grandma any time I could. Then in one of your videos, you said, "If you're worrying about it you're not praying about it." That changed everything, I began praying about anything that made me nervous, and all my fear went away, then just a few weeks ago, I started a CZcams channel devoted to spreading the Lords word.
Wow. I have never been moved by a video so much. I was raised loosely Catholic, we went to church every Sunday for a few years on and off throughout my childhood, but my biological father wouldn’t allow my mom to have me baptized, and denounced all religion. I feel like the lord has spoken to me, and I cannot stop consuming content and scripture since that moment. I’ve been having a really rough time, for a very long time, and I’ve been doing it alone. I feel like I’ve made too many mistakes that God can not forgive, and I’m early in my journey, but your videos (especially this one) are showing me the love and light that is God and Christianity. I’ve been struggling to find whether I should follow the Catholic or Christian faith, but I feel like God is calling me towards the latter. I have hopes of getting formally baptized on my 24th birthday (late, yes, but never too late) and fully giving myself back to Christ. I already had my head down, tearing up when you started your prayer. I said every word with you, crying. God is so good, and so patient. Thank you for spreading his word, and his light. To anyone reading, it’s never too late to form a relationship with Christ, and as she said in the video, you’re never too far gone. God bless ✝️💗
I was a cradle Catholic but finally started reading scripture on my own this year. I ended up finding Christ for real this year and left the Catholic Church to go to a church with more emphasis on scripture. Personally, I’d recommend finding a Christian community over Catholic because Catholicism is much more rooted in tradition. The mass involves a lot of rituals with barely any time for a sermon. I’ve found that a Christian service helps me grow more in my faith bc there’s a much longer sermon with a lot more references to scripture. Stay focused on God’s word!
Thank you for this. OCD doesn’t define me, God does.
Ashley, you are a light in the darkness that GOD is using to reach the hurting and the lost!
Continue to shine your light so others can see Jesus’ through you❤️
Hi Ashley. My name is Vanessa. I barely reply in the comments, so I’m definitely out of my comfort zone but I just wanted to thank you. Your story just struck me. I too had to experience both my parents divorcing and my grandmother passing away at the same time. There was a time where I felt like I had to do so much just to be able to fit in. I thank God that today I can experience having a relationship with him. I still remember the afternoon when my mother told me something that changed my life. She said “when we die, we get to spend eternity with Jesus.” My mind was blown away. I couldn’t comprehend and still today it feels so hard to do so. I’ve been following you for a while, I actually discovered you from my little sister. Today I just wanted to know more about your story, and I’m glad I did. I can’t believe how much I can relate to you. Please keep encouraging so many to get to know Jesus. I hope you see this. (My hands are literally sweating while I’m writing this note) 😅❤ Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing Vanessa!! Praying God blesses you with more of His Word and you keep turning to Him throughout it all. He can be trusted!
Hey Venessa, God bless you
Wow! Just wow!
The part Jesus said “you’ll heal this time and this time you’ll heal with me” made me tear up so much🥺 How sweet and caring Jesus is. Girl, you went through a lot but thank God!!!
wow this is crazy... God suddenly led me to watch this video at 1 am and i'm shocked by how i can directly relate so specifically to two aspects of your testimony! i know that it wasn't an accident and i'm so thankful that you posted this video and that God led me to it!
This is so REAL! I love this. Not everyone has that tragic story before they suddenly experience Jesus. Yours was a process. I know God let me hear this. Going through ocd, sometimes intrusive thoughts (the more we seek Him the more the enemy attacks). Thank you for the reminder that we have power with Jesus and scripture!
cmon Jesus. that is absolutely true. you are a threat to the Enemy as you grow closer to God. keep going and keep fighting with the sword of the Spirit.
Feelin like I’ve been grabbed by fear and been stuck in cycles of depression and anxiety too. God has picked me up so many times and still I have issues believing. Thank you for sharing your testimony and being bold! Thank you for leading me in prayer today ❤
The Lord being patient is smthn I def needed to hear rn… and the enemy knew I did bc this video wasn’t loading at first !! God always wins!!
Amen! Satan be jealous and he can stay that way
cmon Jesus! He is so good.
I did the prayer with you. I have been saved since 2012, but I have been lukewarm. Not on fire for the Lord, not in the word. Cursing, drinking. Not raising my children to know God. I pray for restoration of faith, that I may be able to lean on Him. I have been experiencing anxiety and paranoia and I think it’s satan getting in my mind, instilling fear, and robbing me of joy. Thank you for this.
I’ve come to realize that the enemy is just a tool that God uses. The enemy can’t do anything without permission. Just like he had to approach before he terrorized Job, he has to do the same for us. The accuser of the brethren can’t act without a legal right. The warfare comes because God is calling you back. Your spirit is convicted, your soul is battling the flesh and the spirit. You have conviction to change but the enemy uses that conviction to condemn. God uses it to correct us. The Joy of the Lord is our strength. When we aren’t close to Him we have joy or strength.
@@helenbekind8486 I don't think that God would use an evil creature to literally torture us because He wants us to become faithful. Sounds like toxic theology to me.
@@The_holly_and_the_holy I don’t mean that he uses the enemy to torture us. But warfare of the mind can be used to strengthen our faith. There’s a reason for scriptures about battling anxiety, depression, fear, doubt, worry, etc. During times where we feel like we are under attack, God uses it to bring us closer to Him and show us how to overcome so that the enemy can no longer use that weakness to defeat us.
Wow, GOD use you to talk to me!
for the 2 week i went to the ER, due to shortness of breath, a very bad headache and neck pain, i was shaking, felt very depressed. The Doctor told me that I had panic atack. He told me to ask my primary care Doctor to put me on medication. I stayed in prayer all the time, i say Psalm 91 tree times a day then pray. Now im heal, and said that im not even going to talk with my primary care Doctor about the situation.
And you talking to me, is proof that God doesn't want me to be on medication.
Thank you so much Ash, may the LORD continue to use you.
And stay humble just like you are!
I can feel the spirit of GOD in You. GOD bless you!
You have such a warm heart and you are so kind and sweet, I really want to just hug you. I love your energy! I am in my 20s and my story is a little bit unusual. I grew up and live in a completely atheistic community (east germany has lost almost it's whole christianity due to the DDR). But I found faith still. I always believed in something higher and was really into spiritual things and then I read the Books of C. S. Lewis. Narnia, Mere Christianity, the problem of pain. I also read The Power of now and still think it's a good book as it offers some good ideas that are helpful. And I am still into spirituality and it actually helps me to get closer to god. I bought a bible and do bible journaling a lot and I love worship music very much. Also learned a lot about the bible at university (I study literature sciences). Sadly christianity isn't very accepted where I live. Church, the bible and faith have a really bad reputation here. But that won't stop me from doing what I think is right. I experienced several trauma since childhood and grewing up the world offered no help and pushed me deep down into anxiety and anger. Guess who finally helped me to step into healing? You know the answer. Who the son sets free, is free indeed 💚
I love your story, hope God shows you who you can connect with of likeminded, mature people in the Faith, Godly friends. It must be hard being surrounded with the atheistic mindset in people but I trust you will win souls for Christ, just by being your authentic self. God bless you and protect you🌹
Yes Jesus Christ Is The Lord And Is Good!❤ Thank You Lord Jesus Christ For pouring out Your Love On The World giving us a second chance your free gift of salvation lord Jesus Christ thank you for providing and protecting and healing everyone in this comment section and all around everyone and all Thank You Lord Jesus Christ For Everything In Jesus Mighty Name AMEN❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dear Ashley, thank you so much for this video! I'm almost 17 now. I have had ocd all my life, but your testimony was really encouraging that I'm not alone. I prayed the prayer with you! I've loved Jesus and went to church all of my life, but it's always good to give your life to Jesus again and again. 🥰
you are not alone love
Praise God! God is not only with you always, he is also for you all the time.
your testimony is currently moving me. Even though this was uploaded a year ago I’m still trying to get closer to God and I’m glad I found you through Pinterest. You inspire me and I’m currently writing scriptures down so Amen and God bless u.
I'm thirteen. My testimony started in August a few months ago. I've had a stutter since I was 8. In sixth grade, I experienced some pretty bad ridicule from my classmates and people who I thought were my friends. Since then, my life changed into wanting to be fluent. Middle school was coming up the year after, and I thought stuttering would be the way out of my pain. The way out of sadness and bullying. I didn't see it then, and I worked so hard to stop stuttering. Of course, it didn't go away. I went through 7th grade with a few friends, but I was still focused on the stuttering. My mind would be on it pretty much all the time. In 8th grade, I was determined to make a "new version of myself" and the process of this was to manage my stutter and to not put the goal of fluency in my mind. One day, in August, something was put on my heart to read the Bible. I read it, not really caring much about it. I stopped for about three weeks, when I decided to read it again. A few days before the 8th grade year, I realized that I did not prepare to say my name in front of people (I like to have everything planned). That led to anxiety and even trouble sleeping. When I got to school, I didn't even have to say my name! That whole first week of school, I was anxious. I realized that the anxiety was ridiculous, and it made me think about how God knew I wouldn't have to say my name (which would have saved me from my worry), and that I should trust in Him. This walk hasn’t been easy. Although I still stutter, stuttering no longer has me in its wraps. I am free!
I said the prayer. Lately I have been feeling like I have been away from God. Like I have been living this life alone, and that I dont really know God. I have talked to Him and prayed to Him but I alwalys have had conistant fear that I am not His. But for once, I BELIEVE. PRAY FOR ME, IF YOUR WILLING. AMEN. ❤
Thanks for praying that at the end with me! I am.33 years old a mother and I'm so new to this. I'm so lost in life and want to give up all the time but I want to try this way of life, it's my last hope I have left in me! Thank you again
How are you doing?
You can do this sis. God is for you and he desires to walk with you every day. Do not be afraid for the Lord your God is with you.
Lord, I do not know my sister's name, but You do. I ask You to please touch her heart and mind with Your love and salvation and help her see how amazing life with You can be. Lord Jesus, Your Name literally means Salvation. Pease save her in the days when she feels lost and desperate and help her feel You close. Jesus, Mighty Lord and Powerful God, we have witness Your power and love in our lives, help my sister also. Father, You who held nothing back in Your love, show my sister Your Fatherly love and help her to never again feel hopeless. In Jesus' Name I ask You, Father. Amen.
Testimony’s aren’t always the most interesting thing to me because I have a short attention span but I was genuinely interested in hearing what you had to say!
I TOTALLY relate to this bc I struggled with fear exactly like this before too. Im also a Christian CZcamsr and I was in bondage as well and God delivered me through fasting a prayer. And I finally stepped out of the fear and into the calling of my life. God is so amazing! Thank you for sharing and may God bless you sister in Christ🙏
Ashley, this was beautiful and very freeing to watch. The enemy gets in my head a lot making me feel like I am the only one going through things or having certain thoughts, and to know there is someone else who has experienced the same thing and got free, very beautiful.
I’m struggling with OCD right now. But as I was writing a card to my parents for Christmas. I wrote how God Is helping them, suddenly I felt something while writing that.
It was the Holy Spirit.
I cried in tears of happiness because feeling God is The most amazing feeling of all,
The Holy Spirit loves you, welcome the Holy Spirit in your life!
The Holy Spirit wants to befriend and help you, so invite it into your life.
It’s changed me for the better!
If you are struggling with mind battles, remember scripture and how God is helping you. ❤
I loved this video, Thankyou! ❤
So grateful for your existence on YT. Thankyou Lord ❤
THIS VIDEO HAS LITERALLY SAVED ME. I relate to this so much. I didn’t even know I needed to hear this. I am still today stuck in this cycle of being a chameleon for everyone around me. I am just now realizing how bad this pride and deceit is… how much it is hurting me. I did not grow up in a very practicing religious family either but I am trying to find light through Christ and his teachings. I hope to be guided to a better way of life. Thank you so much for this testimony. Hearing an experience so similar to mine has really touched my heart and has inspired me to keep going. I love your channel, you are so inspirational. I am incredibly grateful that god has guided me to you. God Bless you ❤
aw my sister. you are not alone and God led you to this video to show you that. you are SO LOVED by Him.
I just found your channel last week and it was no coincidence! I struggle with OCD, anxiety and depression and hearing your testimony gives me hope. Thank you for sharing ❤
When saying that prayer I was tearing up hold myself from crying! As I cut apples for my daughters lol Praise the Lord! I’m so ready to have a relationship with him 💕
no way. We love when the Lord moves
@@ashleyhetherington_ yes!! He’s definitively moving in my life! I love him so much! 🥹❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! God bless you! I‘m sooo in love with your videos!
(And I prayed the prayer haha)
omg i loveeee your channel i’ve been binge watching all of your videos❤ you inspire me! praise God!!!
This was truly inspiring. We have verrrry similar testimonies. I’ve been in a rut with my faith & hearing your story really sparked a new fire in my soul, so thank you! God has also put Nashville on my heart - just waiting for doors to open right now. Hearing how he did that for you gives me faith he can do it for me, too 🥰 TY!
I really love that you are sharing this story
I'm catholic and I understand that you can get bored really fast during service if you don't really understand what's happening. I started to understand like a year ago when I started getting involved in a community group. Everything what's happening during service has purpose and deeper sense and once you start to understand it's not as thrilling as your ceremony but it's amazing too. You get to receive Communion ( like when you start to belive that's Him in this little piece fo bread it's literally WOW), read His word just like in your church, worship Him, share peace with people and some other things. I wrote this in different order than it is but I think that what's the most important thing should go first so... yea. I used to get bored easily during service but now when I know more and have personal relationship with Jesus I really like going to church and even though it's not the most interesting form I'm really happy to be there. And for my little catholic and non-catholic sisters: it really helps when you'll find community group. You can learn a lot about Jesus, service, life and everything. You can't forget about having intimate relationship with Him but sometimes community can be something you can start with
I’ve just found you this week from your “self discipline” video and I loved it! Hearing your testimony just made me so happy! I relate so much! I’m from Ohio too, and moved to Florida last year!Thank you for what you bring to this space 💙
I've never cried (good cry 😂) so much in my life. I'm so grateful to know that I'm not alone in thid as it sure is a tough battle in the mind and dealing with anxiety as well. Thank you so muchh Ashley for this, you have no idea how this really encouraged me to keep running back to Jesus ❤️
cmon Lord. He is so kind. you are so so loved by Him.
Amen. I prayed that prayer! Your testimony is so beautiful, so powerful and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing! God is good!! 🙏🏻
I was born into a Christian family but feel like I am so so shallow in my link with the Lord and I feel like I'm crippled with my life situations at the moment. I think you're amazing and thanks so much for what you do it's so needed.
just said a prayer for you that God would pull you so close in a relationship with Him!! He loves you so much!! 🩷🫶🏼
I love how honest you are. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️💕
I prayed with you and it was amazing! Let me just say, I found u on Pinterest, ( meanwhile I’m trying to grow in my faith and am facing struggles with that) and I started watching u a lot and u have helped me so much with my journey with the lord! I love you and thank you so much! I haven’t been watching for long but you have already helped change my life!
Yes you are so right about God being a healer! Thank you for sharing your story 💓
Amen! Bless your heart, I love this! What an encouragement. ❤
Honestly this really spoke to me, im much younger than you but my story is really similar. it was process. i was camelean in middle school then i was homeschooled and realized i wasnt who I pretended to be. i did a bible study with my grandmother who lived thousands of miles form me and i learned about God and finally started to understand His word. As i got closer to God i got obsessive thoughts and ruminations that led to an eating disorder and then God called my family and I to move to live 40 miles from my grandparents! I found your channel around the same time and now im doing the Holy 40! i prayed the prayer at the end and cried tears of Gods joy!!!
Ashley, I stumbled upon your page a few days ago but your videos have touched me in so many ways. I pray the Lord shares an overflow of blessings over you and the work you do ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony!!! This really woke something up in me … I thank GOD that I stumbled on your page🙏🏾❤️ God bless you
I loved praying 🙏 with you at the end!
And btw I'm crying
Thank you and thank The Lord! ❤
I related to the mental health portion. This really helped me. You talking about your ministry also helped since I want to start my own ministry. You’re an inspiration.
Ashely I'm Delaney and I'm 10 and love your videos you have brought me to Jesus in rough times when i felt like running away!
Hi there! How is your walk with Jesus going 😊
Wow, how amazing. Stay strong, don't be influenced by the world or people around you. There's lots of peer pressure to do things, but it's not worth it to give in. It's dangerous this world spiritually and physically to live in sin..Choose to always live close to Jesus Christ, no matter how the world views you. This world is ending soon and none of this will last, but the soul will. God bless!
God is not only with you always, God is also for you all the time. May Christ’s peace be upon you.❤
you're a blessing! thank you for being here!
Hi Ashley, I was want to say, I’m in my late 30’s and find you so inspiring. I’m on a journey to come closer to God and live a more Christian life. I think just becoming a mamma for the first time 8 months ago is what sparked it and drew me closer. I stumbled across you on Pinterest and you are amazing!
I just want to say what really brought a tear to my eye was seeing all the comments from 10 year old, young teens that you are helping. I mean there’s me in my late 30’s but wow these younger ones are looking up to you as well and you’re helping them and such a vital age.
Thank you! You’re doing Gods work and are amazing.
Such a powerful testimony! Your video on discipline popped up in my suggested videos, which is something the Lord is currently walking me through! So happy the Lord led me to your channel! God bless you!
I really really appreciate you sharing your testimony - the fact that God knew I needed to hear it in this moment is awesome. I wish I had a friend like you! God bless you 🤍
Thank you for this video! I've been feeling so broken and lost recently, and the part where you fully surrendered to the Lord struck me. Thank you for your prayer as well. God bless you! 🙏
This is so special and moving. I’m watching this on Christmas Day and it’s so inspiring watching you speak about how God healed you and he can heal all of us❤️
Thank you for sharing your testimony!
God showed me this video this morning, and I had the opportunity to use your testimony to minister to my friend the same evening. Praise God for using you for His glory!
Thank you ❤ my testimony is so similar to yours ❤ from rarely going to catholic church and being bored, from being away from God and partying and meeting guys, to finding spirituality elsewhere to OCD diagnosis, to accidentally finding the Lord during COVID while reading a book! My intrusive thoughts were about my relationship fears and I still take medication but after watching this video, it has given me the courage to ask our Father to help me heal and stop them eventually. It would be beneficial since I’m trying to conceive. I’m already in my late thirties 😅. I have the impression that you are looking for a life partner and I know that God will grant you that wish. ❤
All I cn say is "Praise God!" Once again, we see God is PERFECT in ALL his ways🙌 ure testimony is such a blessing every bit of it just to see how he worked with you stood by u..allowed u to be broken to rebuild u..ugh so amazing! May God continue to bless u.. ure videos are a blessing , keep them coming! 😊 your love for the Word is everything🙏🙌🥰❣️
God bless you! ❤❤ I said the prayer with you, and I felt great after!
Totally relate, I still struggle with some things, ,but I thank God for leading me to your Chanel ,you are a blessing!! THANK YOU!
This is so powerful!! So touched! Praise the Lord! Thankyou Ashley ❤
thank you for this. I can relate to a lot of things you mentioned and I've already been saved and recently wrote out my testimony in my journal just to reflect, and I know God keeps revealing to me like my testimony honestly will be as long as I live, from the day I was saved, to the day I die, because God is constantly taking me deeper into relationship with Him and growing me, and so I loved that you said our testimonies are never done! also God has used this to confirm some things in my life so I'm very glad I watched this! I love how you talked about how speaking truth to the lies you were facing, lead to freedom! its something I've been trying to apply in my life, so this inspired me a lot, also like in Matthew 4:1-11 thats literally how Jesus responded to satan when satan was trying to tempt Jesus, and what Jesus did was quote scripture, so your testimony really atests to the power of Gods word!
Thank you for your testimony. ❤ Been watching your videos & following you for a few months now, & I'm, just now, watching your testimony. I cried watching - such a beautiful story of finding God in a broken world. I have struggled with OCD as well . . When I was a teen (I'm 25 now), it was so bad. It was life crippling with ruminations. A battle in my own brain. I never went to therapy, but I probably should have. I told my parents about what I was struggling with, but they just thought I was looking for attention. Anyway, it was years of struggle, but I do feel like God has healed me. Years of just crying out to God. I still have the disorder, but it's nothing like the past. God can heal anything!
Thank you for sharing your story it helped me so much! I feel less alone regardless of the trials 🙏
Praise the Lord for what He’s done in your life Ashley 💖 thank you so much for sharing your story and being such an inspiration 🙏
Amen.This morning I came across your chanel.Also I prayed as the same you did.Thanks a lot♥
I just prayed that prayer and I believe God lead me to her testimony to encourage me to keep going ❤️
Really enjoyed your testimony. I know all about being tormented internally day in and day out with intrusive fearful thoughts. It’s been the toughest battle of my life and there are times I can’t believe something has got this much control over me. I also struggle to make scripture work for me and to believe that I can come out of this. Thank you for sharing your testimony. ❤
God is using you for his glory… Amen❤
Thank you! ❤️✝️😁 I love hearing different testimonies and it just helps me so much to know that there are others out there who struggle but stand in faith.
Amen! Thank you for this video, I can definitely relate to you. My faith in the Lord grows more and more every single day 🤍
WOW! Our testimonies are so similar... I grew up struggling with similar things you struggled with and God really revealed Himself to me during the quarantine and my faith has been deepened and my life forever changed after coming closer to Jesus in 2020. I struggle with OCD rumination as well - your insight is so encouraging. Also, God actually just led me to Nashville too!! Thanks for sharing, sis!
Not even half way through your testimony and i can relate to you so much Ash,
Really thanks for being here!
Wow, I really needed to hear this today. So much I can relate to. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony and awesome prayer with us❤
thank you so much I have not prayed that prayer for a while and I really needed it, your testimony was so amazing it just comes to show how awesome God is.❤
I have anxiety and finally got diagnosed with OCD two days ago and I agree it’s a comfort to know that there’s not something wrong with you - your testimony is similar to mine and it’s so empowering ❤
I just came across this video and I changed my life, thank you!
Amen!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony!!! It encouraged me greatly!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 God is our healer!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your testimony. It was such a blessing hearing you and what the Lord has done in your life. I am struggling with anxiety and bad thoughts and I feel like the Lord wants me to put my full trust in Him, that He cares for me and loves me. God bless you all!
A few things were so relatable! I'm going thru it right now. I said the prayer! I'm chasing Him. Thank you Jesus!
Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest sharing your testimony. 💗🙏🏻 It’s so powerful and encouraging. ❤️🔥❤️🔥 God bless you sister. 🕊️🕊️
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing and praying! Blessings
Cried with you sister
I know this is an older video but I just watched it and prayed with you! Thank you! ❤
bless you. i cried when you said God wanted you to heal and heal with him.
I think this is my 3rd time watching! Thank you so much for sharing! And being such an awesome/amazing inspiration!
Prayed the prayer with you! Thank you for being bold in your faith.
You really inspire me.God sent you to me and I pray that He blesses you abundantly
This has blessed my soul. I also grew up Catholic! I tried to find my worth in accomplishing things to make my parents happy. I also just wanted to be like and valued by others. It took everything from me. I realized that the Lord was all that I needed. I want to fully live my life for Him and make Him known. I feel like I am stuck though and have been consumed with anxiety at times. I don't know how to win the battle and I have dealt with it for years. I related to you with you saying that you ended up realizing you had OCD. I thought it was amazing that you said you fasted and prayed and God healed you. What does that look like? I want that
Ashley I love your Pinterest and I love watching ur shorts on yt so I’m so happy you shared your testimony! Keep shining for Him!!!
i am so so glad you are here.
I said it out loud! 🙋♀thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story
Thank you so much for this amazing video! Yes, I prayed that amazing prayer. You are so amazing, thank you,
Wow I am so grateful for God and you actually helped me begin my walk with the Lord and not only believe but to be a servant for him and to start a story on Snapchat to spread the word and help others interpret it ❤🙏🏼✝️
Girl! So happy to hear your full story. It's so amazing everything God has brought you through, He truly never stops loving us.
What hit home for me would be that He can heal all things, our hearts, minds, souls, bodies, and pasts. I've been blessed to grow up in a Christian home, but that definitely doesn't rule out struggle and attacks of the enemy. I dealt with insecurity in my body and image around 13-14. Basically expecting mother nature to do more for me more quickly. LOL It led me to view things I shouldn't of and that honestly just troubled me more. I had had an "ok God I'm done with this moment" but didn't fully surrender it. The enemy had me in so deep that I didn't even realize it, I fell back to the "viewing" again here and there over the next month or 2. Then I was at youth group one night, an amazing service and then the holy spirit fell during the alter call and God lifted that weight off of my shoulders, my heart, and my soul. It felt like an instant drop off from my mind to the floor and I felt like I could fly, honest truth. I spiritually could feel all of that junk, weight, and hurt drop to the floor in front where I was standing and I left it there. Walked away that night free, never falling back into that rut. I found my image to be beautiful and exactly how God wanted me to be at that time of life. I saw myself through His eyes not the world's. He truly loves us, even when we waver, as you said Ashley, He's patiently waiting. It was a process over the next year to 2, to have the full realization and appreciation of who I was as a daughter of Christ. I've of course had many other struggles and most just these past 2 years. But I can now say, with a thankful heart, that God has delivered me from it all and I am as of this year growing closer to Him then I have for a very long time. I'm not on a perfect schedule yet, but it's a daily process and commitment that I refuse to lose sight of. Your encouragement and messages were truly an inspiration and a light from God for me Ashley. I know that He literally started putting your posts in my Pinterest feed. So never stop doing what God calls you to, He will always bless more than you know with your obedience. Thank you sweet sister. ❤️
hi ashley! I know this is an older video but I just stumbled across it and wanted to share my experience. I'm in my freshman year of college and have been feeling very lost for a long time now. I've decided I wanted to become closer to Jesus and surrender to him so he can lead me to be the best version of myself that I can be. At the end of your video, saying the prayer with you I closed my eyes... right when I opened, the sun was shinning ( its ohio in the middle of winter and the sun hasn't been out in days). I just know that was the lord showing me he is there and hears me. Thank you for sharing your testimony!!
My testimony is so long. But I know that God has used my life as a blessing to others. And I can’t wait to see where He takes me. And also I watch your videos on Pinterest and your words are so encouraging. I remember this one time where you prayed for me to have dreams not nightmares and that helped so much and I want to say thank you for being a blessing to me and everyone else here. I can’t wait for what the Lord shows you in your life and I’m also giving it all to Jesus. Thank you again. ♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I have been walking with the Lord for 4 months now and I too suffer with OCD. God Bless You for posting this.
thanks for being here laura. you are not alone 🤍
