Jim entered college with a skepticism about life. The idea of God seemed "silly". He poured his life into a successful career in magic where a lot of his skepticism was confirmed. There really are "trap doors" and "smoke and mirrors." But despite doubts, radical things were happening in Jim's life to turn his world upside down. And then, just when he thought he had it all figured out: Leukemia. When faced with the choices of how to proceed, Jim knew his best chance of living was to allow himself to die first. Chemotherapy to destroy blood cells. New blood to replace his own. Yet how could he allow himself to endure the agony? And why was this happening?
This guy came and did a show at UC Irvine last year and it was incredible. Totally filled up the second biggest room the campus has, 1100 people or so. Even if people didn't turn their lives towards Jesus right at that show so many people were affected and had a chance to see what God can do. This guy does great things. Pray that he would continually be used to bring more and more people to christ
Totally agree!
I saw you in Brussels several years ago. Fantastic show. Fantastic testimony. Best part was when you met that 19 year old female who agreed to come and meet you. You said "What would you feel when you saw the person who saved your life?" Awesome, isn't it, what Jesus did for every single ONE of us... I too am second.
These videos are profound
The production is stunning
I hope they keep it up
True ministry
This video was shown at our church this morning. My husband was just diagnosed with Luekemia on July 14, 2011. This was such an amazing example of the life we have in Christ, but also was an encouragement to us, as we have just found a match for a transplant. The thought of the probability of that are so amazing. Blessings to you Joe! ~ Vic and Cindy
Actually, it's Jim... 😊
I legit teared up watching this video. Gah... So good. I love how God impacts each person in these I Am Second videos in completely unique ways. He's so good!
What an amazing perspective on the Gospel! So relevant.
Jim was born to tell his story and imprint his life upon ours. Thank you for your time today at ETSU, Jim. I was very moved. God Bless.
What is the difference between Magic and Miracle? Magic makes a lie appear to be true. A Miracle reveals Truth.
That's good!
Magic is deception
Miracle is clarity
This is beautiful! Thank you, Jesus, for your blood!
Thank you for sharing your story. It is amazing. God meets us were we are and knows what we need to fully see him. Thank you Lord.
Beautiful testimony. Thank you, Father, for Jim's story.
My church has been showing this video the past couple days I also saw you in whitewater with my church your amazing and glad that your well much love
It made me cry the way that a parallel was made between the donor giving blood and Jesus giving His blood & life for us.
What a powerful testimony to the saving power of Jesus’ shed blood and resurrection for us ! Thank you Lord Jesus
Miracles happen every day all around us! How great is our God:)
I love Jim Munroe!!!
This testimony is the ultimate example of “Born Again”!
Our God is SO good! ❤️🙏
Such a beautiful living testimony of God's beautiful work :]
This is so powerful. Thank you for sharing.
nobody could describe it better...
Tears...God is awesome 🙏
Man is awesome, science is awesome, reality is awesome...
Just heard your story on the latest episode of Radio Lab, I'm a keen listener of the show and your story was the best episode I've heard.
praise God
Only people can help people.
One of my favorite..
Amazing Testimony ❤
This is amazing and cool how God made it so real to him that God is real. This definatly encouraged me.
Amazing.... and true! Thank you for sharing!
From Oregon, ✝️
I agree that life holds wonderful mysteries, friend. The step of faith is sometimes hard and doesn't make sense, intellectually. But God loves you even if you don't believe in Him. In fact, He gave His son for you, Jim Munroe, me, and everybody else who accepts Him. He loved the whole world so much that He gave Jesus, His Son, to die for us and if we believe to have eternal life with Him. Open your heart to Him. Bless you.
Such a strong testimony! Thanks for it! God bless you abundantly!
i love this, God is incredible
WOW!!!!
Wow! ❤
crying 🙏❤️
What more can be said after that? Unbelievable story of God working a miracle to save ONE man's life. That's how much He loves ME! That's how much He loves YOU!
Seeing God from behind the curtain!! Oh my what a powerful analogy...
awesome!!
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony...
great testimony!
What a wonderful analogy. Of all the billions of people who have lived on this earth there is only one blood donor that will save us from death. And for every man or woman, that One donor is a perfect match.
Beautiful story...
That you are happy and fulfilled doesn't show that we are not ill. It just shows that you do not know it.
Not a believer, but wow this was still powerful. You don't need to believe in God to appreciate life when you see things like this.
Wow!
omg how powerful
❤
I believe also.
i am second.
Looking forward to Jim sharing at WatermarkOC Church in Costa Mesa, Cali on Sept. 13, 2014 - yes, that's a plug. If you're in So Cal come hang out with us.
cindyberry1, just reading your post. I was moved and inspired by your simple faith in Christ. How is your husband's treatment going? Praying for him, and you.
Amen!!!!!!!!
I love how there are only likes on this video :)
😓
ONLY God creates miracles - now that's REAL MAGIC.
Bless it be you Jim, continual blessings to you and your family.
God is good, all the time God is good.
Praise God!💗🙏👍
Miralces real magic by "god"? Maybe "god" should do some miralces to stop the suffering in the world...
😭😭🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Actually, I think you shared that you got diagnosed at Christmas and had the transplant on April 23rd, three days after Easter. Resurrection day for you!
wow
\0/KING JESUS ❤\0/
Awesome! Amen. 🙏
Some of you who have added your own comments about how this is science and not God have missed the whole point. Jim is telling his story... not yours! He started with something like, "God if you are there, show me proof behind the curtain and smokin mirrors." What transpired convinced Jim, and that is his story. You can't tell him he's wrong. You can say it is not your story, but you can't take it away from Jim... unless of course you are brave enough to make a similar deal with God?
My wife had a dream where an angel told her that she was going to have a baby in the middle of december, and that another interesting thing would happen in the middle of september. Well, she did have a baby in the middle of December, and the dream was 266 days before the birth. It takes 266 days from fertilization to birth (on average). We hadn't been together in a couple weeks when she had that dream. We got tons of sales in August and September, and finished paying all our debts sept 14th.
.... to be true. It is both intellectually satisfying and spiritually fulfilling. Personally though, it goes beyond any of that for me. However I would be glad to answer anything questions or complaints about Christianity. Just message me.
Throw in the fact that that 19 year old girl was an atheist.
Was she? How do you know? I would like to know! Because not a word of her in his story...
@@xeroxxerox-iw4wh Because it was me.
I dont even know what i have... But, my story is not complete yet. I guess
this is *his* story -- what I don't understand is why people feel the need to apply it everybody else... faith is deeply personal.
Because he asked God to make it real because he wasn't sure if he wanted to believe this, and what he went through pretty much after he prayed that is pretty much exactly what the bible talks about about jesus blood being for us and him living in us. A little bit to on point to be just a coincidence but it is his story :)
The Blood Of Jesus!!!
By "not together" I mean sexually. The implication is that those little guys can live for a while. Think before asking these questions. I wasn't telling that story to convince you of anything. It was for others who are capable of being reached by God.
I wonder if he ever met the donor
As I was saying, this story wasn't for you. Now go troll elsewhere.
Variety of beliefs tells us nothing about whether that belief is true or not. It is estimated that about 3% of world population call themselves atheists while a combined about 10% say they are "non-religious." You would tell me its ludicrous to assert that sense only 3% of the world population calls themselves atheist, it is a false belief. We need to look at the reasons behind a belief to determine whether or not it's true. I personally believe Christianity has good reasons......
Chris Hoops thank you! I always tell people that
Chris Hoops and if I’m not mistaken, the Christian Bible is the only “religious” book that allows you to challenge it with reasoning.
Btw, I put the word religious in quotations because so many people call Christianity a religion when’s it is a relationship
no god in my book but a pretty cool story. its funny in an ironic sort of way that instead of having the blood of how he looks he has a that of a 19 year old female. you gotta admit thats pretty awesome.
and i still dont see how that can prove a god. its science, medical shit, and stats. nothing more.
Well, I tried. :)
Why are you on here? Seriously? Is it your goal in life to criticize and mock others beliefs and faith? Does that make you happy? According to one of your posts there are "a vast number of people just like myself that live happy fulfilling and moral godless lives." If you are so happy why do you try to make others unhappy? How is that moral and self-satisfying? I think you are possibly fooling yourself.
