    My parents were satanists. From the age of 3 my parents took me to rituals and passed me around to men and women. I was poked with straight pins pushed in as far as they would go. My skin was burned with heat lamps. They made me do horrific things, and I was programmed not to cry or show any emotion. But Jesus came to me and picked me up during my first episode of abuse and held me. Some times he took me near to heaven so I could see what it was like. He told me that some day he would take me there to live. When I was 5 my grandma took me to a Billy Graham meeting. Mr. Graham explained the gospel so clearly that I asked my grandma to take me forward to get saved. My life didn't change immediately, in fact the abuse went on to age 15. But when I was 16 a friend invited me to a Bible study at school. I began to learn about Jesus and who I was in his eyes. This began a very slow and difficult healing journey that has lasted 40 years. I've finally been released from the damage and the demons. Praise Jesus for saving me!

    Aside from his profound testimony, what I see is a catastrophic failure of every adult in his life as a child. What did his teachers think of a little boy who shows up to school repeatedly, covered in scratches and bruises? What about the CPS officer who left him in this madhouse? What about the doctors and nurses who pretended they believed his father's preposterous stories about falling? What about the family members who knew what his father was like and did nothing? So, so tragic.

Our ONLY hope and savior is Jesus because man will disappoint us. Satan knew this child was destined to do great things for Gods kingdom so he attacked him fiercely early on in his life in an attempt to derail him. But praise God he has not succeeded! God has plans for this young man!

    His dad was clearly possessed by demons. Everything he described sounds like classic demonic possession. He probably gained power from the blood shed he enforced on his poor kids. This is heart wrenching. All I felt is complete disgust and anger watching this. It really hits you differently when you have a child yourself. I cannot imagine my toddler going through this. The devil is so evil.

    I have been so incredibly moved by Jon’s testimony. I cried because I have a similar experience. My dad was an abusive alcoholic and my mother suffers from mental illness. I blocked out a lot of my childhood memories, one vague memory was a time when I was 5 years old. My dad is drunk and beating me and my little brother. I’m trapped in a corner of a room and I’m shielding my brother with my body from the pounding fists. Growing up my father was in and out of jail and eventually went to prison. He never said he loved me and was only proud when I got into fights at school or in my neighborhood. I grew up fighting and was abusive. My mother would tell me often she wanted to kill herself. I tried committing suicide by doing reckless things. In High School I jumped off a moving vehicle and fractured my skull and had to learn how to walk again. For a decade I was addicted to drugs to numb my pain and to feel false joy but my anger still controlled me. The depression got so bad I was having suicidal thoughts every few hours. So I surrendered to Jesus alone in my room. Weeks later I went to a Revival by myself. I got a spiritual baptism, felt the Holy Spirit as the church prayed for me. My legs were trembling and my hands were tingling and I cried because I felt the love of Jesus. The last day of the revival I had a water baptism. I felt a peace and tranquility I never knew. My journey is just starting as a Christian and I’m excited to see God’s plan for me. God bless you Jon. I cried mostly because I know that feeling of blind rage. The evil empty coldness of having no heart and being trapped in it. I often pray for guidance to forgive my parents. I’m glad to find my church family and to be reborn again. Jon we were warriors of darkness, now we are redeemed and warriors of the most high God.

      Im so sorry to hear you also went they so much. It’s true I too was very self destructive. Tried to kill my self drinking a whole bottle of Tylenol and cutting my wrists I didn’t know how to commit suicide. All because my mother would constantly tell me she wished I was never born. I survived because God had a plan for me. She never took me to get pumped beat me up and pulled me by the hair because the bathroom was full of blood. but God is so good. He is our loving father. And I praise him that he didn’t allow me to die. I praise God so much been walking in the faith for 12 years now. Best decision ever. Jesus he breaks chains brother so that our children and our childrens children don’t go thru that. I went thru multiple types of abuse. At her hands physically psychologically mentally. Sexually . I can’t remember a lot. But it’s all coming back in bits and pieces. The Lord wants to heal my pain. But the Lord rescued me!!

    You can tell he’s a good person with a good heart. The way he gently talks, his whole demeanour tells you that he is good to the core. His previous life was a nightmare forced upon him.

    I grew up in a Christian home, same thing... we knew of God but never religiously went to Church or followed God fully. I always seen religion being a thing for older people, I always thought “I’m young. I’ll live my life now and get with God when I’m older”. It’s been a little over a month now that I’ve been walking with Jesus. I stumbled upon this video and it gave me the reassurance to continue serving Him and a reminder that He does love me, even when I tell him thousands of reasons why he shouldn’t. This was such a beautiful testimony. Thank you!!!!

    For those of you who believe Jon's mother shouldn't have allowed the abuse- She was also a victim of abuse. The abuse damages you mentally as well, you are afraid to act, afraid and unable to leave because of the trauma bond that has been formed with the abuser. It is complicated and hard to explain. But I lived it, thank God no children were involved, and I eventually got the strength to separate myself from my abuser. I always used to say, Why doesn't she just leave? Now I know why.

      Women who "put their kids through" those things are abused and brain washed from their abusers probably before their kids were born. And abusers tend to isolate their victims because they don't want them to have people to help them. They abuse them to the point where they feel they have no choice because they live in constant fear. Instead of saying there's no excuses we should all learn about signs of abuse so we can approach and help people who need to get out of bad situations.

    While hearing your testimony I literally had to pause it to digest what you were saying about the fights and the physical abuse, I felt my stomach flip and really mad. This just really touched my soul and thought of all of the children that go through this and can’t say anything and the mothers that have to tolerate this and suffer in silence. Your testimony is so amazing and the fact that Jesus has taken all of your pain and turned into a life changing testimony has mi in awe of what God can do in someone’s life!! You are an amazing man and I’m so glad that you were able to form a family and be a good loving father. God bless you so much !!! Thank you for this powerful testimony.

    Another time I was taking a shower and I was pulled and beaten with a hanger and I can’t even remember why. The abuse continued day in and day out. I asked God everyday to make me die. 😢 it was hell on earth.

This testimony has waken up all the abuse I had to endure in the hands of my own mother and step Father. I have failed to heal and accepted to live with it. I have failed 2 marriages because I don't understand and know what love is. The men I married, used what I went through to treat and abuse me so badly. I have given up on men and relationships. I think I was born not to be loved.

    I’ve blocked out a lot of my childhood b/c of abuse. It’s funny how when you’re little you don’t know any better so the abnormal becomes your normal. Most of that abuse happened to me between ages 3-8 years old. I had a brother who was 5 years older than me and who treated me more like a little brother at times. We didn’t have a father (and we were from different fathers too). Our mom had/has schizophrenia so she wasn’t all right in her mind. I remember spending a lot of time on the streets and just seeing a lot of stuff that a kid my age shouldn’t have seen. Since my mom struggled with the mental illness and my grandma could only so much I was neglected sometimes. My uncle was an alcoholic so he wasn’t safe to be around because if he wasn’t drunk he was angry. He had physically hurt my gma, mom. B/c of this I felt safer outside b/c then I could hang out with my friends which were mostly guys. Little like that and naive I’ve walked on a lot of crazy situations. I remember being beaten like full on punched in my face. I can remember who exactly did it, but I must’ve angered them somehow. I have memories of being thrown against the wall and hitting my head really hard. I was sexually abused and told that if I tell anyone I’d be killed. It’s a miracle I’m alive today after everything I’ve been thru. God must be watching over me cuz I could’ve died on several occasions. I struggle with self worth b/c of this. I have a very warped understanding of how a man supposed to love a woman. I’ve seen good examples in my life too but those other ones are deeply rooted in me too. I remember being so confused and not understanding why was all of it was happening. I felt like God didn’t love me, like He was an angry God. I’ve had good moments too. I went to preschool and then kindergarten. Like I said I blocked out a lot of it to survive so I only remember bits and pieces of my childhood. I do remember being in a mental hospital tho after a nervous break down. I was 6 years old and at the psych ward I was damaged some more. I was told that if I act out with my anger I’ll be put into the ward again and I was soooo scared of that place that I learned to bottle up my emotions. Most of my life I’ve been afraid to talk about this stuff b/c even right now as I’m typing this I hear that voice in my head “we’ll kill/hurt you more if you tell anyone”. I’m 30 years old today and I’ve yet to still really heal from all that trauma.

The other 3 and my mom didn’t ever help
    I was sooo tough on the OUTSIDE! But hurting after longing for love on the inside.5’2 100 lbs but by the time was was 11 I would fight back.... usually big very successfully but I HAD to! If I cried it was worse, I believe he was a sadist.

    My father beat me on a regular until he got tired. Then would call me back in for more. It only got worst after 12 when he felt I was too old for beatings with a belt. I missed school regularly because of the bruising and busted skin on my back and legs. He committed suicide when I was 17. I don’t whether to feel fortunate or morn. I’m broken and hate children have to endure this. My mother never stopped him. Even encouraged it. I grew up always being called worthless and I wish you weren’t my son. I carry this with me every day. I used to be extremely violent. I’m a dad now and can’t imagine hurting my children like this. I just pray Jesus comes to save me one day like this.

    Thank You for your testimony.
    I gave my life to Jesus Christ over 30 years ago. I still need to hear and be refreshed on His love, goodness, mercy and power.
