I hope this blesses some... 🙏 I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊 *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️ *All things are possible with God*

If our Loving Heavenly Father does not chastise us when it is needed then we are not His children….I know I am amazingly loved and blessed by the Grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ but also I have known His loving chastisement and that is also the great blessing of His grace. If we love Him we will keep His commandments…not legalism but loving obedience

Nothing will seperate us from Christ. NOT EVEN DRUGS can separate us from the love of Christ. That's why he couldn't stop talking about him.

MWS music always touches me! Please GOD bring my 22 yr old daughter back home and reconcile us back together. Jeremiah 31:16-17.Amen

5:28 Whatever you think is giving you life in this world is really giving you death and it’s temporary. God’s goodness is what fulfills you & He is everlasting. Amen

1:40 Many parents are grieving for their wayward children. We need to stay persistent in prayer and wait in expectation for Gods will to be done in our children’s lives

If you’ve had a harsh or cruel earthly father you will struggle with thinking that’s how God the Father is.

Michael W Smith was the first contemporary Christian music concert that I ever went to and He and Amy Grant became started my journey with Contemporary Gospel music! I love them both❤️. Michael is truly anointed by God for his abilities to write and perform Contemporary Gospel music! He gave me hope for my future. Although I was in Church every Sunday and Wednesday night, I was being sexually abused. Never escaped that nightmare but I listened, enjoyed and worship God. My journey has not been a good one and not one of a lot of happiness because I ve been through it all and my God has been with me through it all. I may never figured out what God's plan was for my life but I am blessed to be alive at this point! God reigns, He is alive! Amen, thank God, praise God for these awesome singers. I would not have survived without you!!!!! Much love 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🇺🇸

❤ 🎉 I'm so proud of TBN and the team behind it! Thank you! Been a hige blessing since you came to Uganda! And God bless M.W. Smith! Amazing man, music and most of all, happy you're still about Jesus! God give you strength and the grace to keep on keeping on! 🎉❤

MWS has really been a good influence on me. My youth pastors took me to see him in concert when I was a kid. It was amazing. I’ve been influenced by his lyrics, music, my whole life. I also met him once and he was very nice to me.

God never let him go.. How great is His mercy and grace!

I have always loved MWS’s talents and gifts. He is my brother in Christ and like the rest of us- He struggles / struggled. The message in his music has gotten me through some awful times and reminded me Jesus was always with me and never leaves my side. Thank you Mr. Smith.

I am so blessed to have seen you in concert for a fourth time Michael w. Smith and May your voice bless others as it has blessed me!

Thank you Michael for your testimony

The best Christian music artist of all time!!

Well this is the first time I've heard his story and thank God he was able to pull himself out of doing the wrong thing and I've always loved michael-w-smith music he's a great singer👏👏👏🤟🤟🤩🥰😍💛🧡🖤

One of our best songwriters!

Have adored his musical creations for decades he is quite the worship and praise music maker master. Great testimony MWS. God Bless All.

Thank you Jesus for the word God and amazing Michael Smith awesome man that got his putting the Earth to teacher at 2 encourages from worship amen

I would pray that Matt and Laurie Crouch would listen to and following what Michael W. Smith said.

I love God and MWS! I grew up mostly in the 80’s and my mom always played his cassettes in the car. My wife and I danced to one of his songs at our wedding in ‘06. I believe it’s titled, “Love of My Life”✌🏻

Praise the God for praying fathers and mothers!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐🛐✝️✝️✝️✝️

Smith's testimony is just amazing. God must have been making a point that "this guy (Smith) is mine". We are so blessed. Even when we deal with drug using nephew Smith's talks come so encouraging.

God Bless you Michael W. Smith

I had the great opportunity to see Michael W Smith at a Billy Graham crusade in Jacksonville not too long after the Columbine shooting. It's a moment I will always remember, he sang "This is Your Time" and a regiment of bagpipes came out as he sang. I felt the Lord as much in that second as I have ever in my life. Thank you MWS

Oh this has been on my newsfeed... perfect timing! Thank you God for touching hearts and transformations many nations in Christ. You are the best Jesus!

I enjoy how gracious Matt and Laurie are in their interviews. I just wonder how many prodigals there are out there who could be used powerfully just like MWS. Secret Ambition, Place in this World, Deep in Love with You, Open the Eyes of My Heart, Healing Rain

I sure love his song "Friends"

Me too Michael, me too......Praise GOD for HIS faithfulness .. Whiskey bottles and brand new cars, oak tree your in my way !!! ....I lived it too brother......GOD is good

Loooove my Broooo...Michael. Blessed...alwaaays by his music n songs. ♡♡

Love this testimony

I am glad you 'came around' early in life, before the world had more of a hold on you. Praise God for steadfast praying parents.

I have always love Mike Smith he has a beautiful voice♥️🧡💜🙏💜❤️💙💚💝

What a beautiful testimony Michael! You give people hope! Please pray for my son who has anxiety and paranoia over this virus! He needs prayer. Thank you!

Praise be to our faithful God

Thank God for the change. You are a gift!!

This testimony literally speaks of what wrong choices many of us have made in life. The song "Healing Rain" the alcoholic,the drug addict,the homeless man. Now we must choose to follow Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Thank Father God for His grace. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. God does not use the tools of the devil to teach us, but He does use the situations. Hallelujah! And He brings us through, and out on the other side, if we go with Him as He leads. One day the world will look upon the devil and shake their heads in disbelief as he cowers in the face of Jesus Christ our King. The ppl will say, Is THIS the one who brought nations to their knees? Is THIS the one who made the kingdoms of the earth tremble? Puhlease Jesus is King and Lord, Lord God Almighty, forever and ever, Amen.

Michael : “My parents - NEVER- condems me”. ❤️🙂😭 Profound value

Thanks for the beautiful truth of God's love and forgiveness. May God bless you more. John 3:16-18.

God bless you!

God bless everyone

Amen! It is Gods Kindness that leads us to repentance. 🌈🥰

All glory, honor and praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!

God is good and kind and merciful, but He can be very difficult to those who are difficult. Believe it, for the Bible tells me so...

Michael doesnt age

That’s why he’s so relatable❤️

O boy. I wish you folks could understand what Je'sus taught Paul. God bless punish today, that is, as you call him, " the great delivers " favorite things to do.

1:05 I did the same thing as a teenager until God told me, “You are either for me or against me.” I then asked Jesus to come back into my life again and He’s helped me to keep living for Him.

Thank you God for never leaving me.Thank you God for loving me. Thank you God for your patience . Thank you God for allowing me to make mistakes and fumbling and you always pick up the pieces . Thank you God for HOPE 💕

You are so amazing no matter what you been threw you heart everyone loves you and your heart for God we all live you more being by your side ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Since I got born again servant of God u hav been a blessing to me through your songs

Hi Michael W Smith gives God all the praise and glory to his name. Lorri

This was an interesting experience watching this because I have not followed TBN or that segment of believers for a long time and seeing Matt and Laurie caused me to time travel a bit. I did not know either of them but I think it was around the time they got married I was involved in Springs of Live Church in Tucson, Az which was pastored by Cliff and Kathy, Laurie's parents. Wow, time has flown by.

Jesus loves you

To God Be The Glory!🙏🏼

I remember Mike when he cameout with that song faith incredible man of God one of the real ones.

Thanks Jesus that You saved me from horrormovie with hashis 1978

I love how your experience that changed your life was just you alone with Papa ...your Abba ... The most tender moments and biggest breakthroughs seem to be without and audience.

Great testimony

Sorry Smitty endure all that, glad he is real and shares. God is Good, all the time!

Amazing!

What a great testimony Mike ,,, to me the tender ways of how The Lord restores us through people who care and pray for us is the best part ,, is the work of the church and His Restoration power and its my story thanks for sharing

Thank You God.

Beautiful story, this is the message that we all need to learn of God the Father's love. Love that do not discriminate based on color, cultural background, language, beliefs or whatever we may call it.

Michael W Smith God Bless You & your family..I've seen you live in Pennsylvania at a Christian Camp Site and at DaleCity Virginia..I took my mom to see you she went to Paradise Heaven in 2013..I gave a card with a rose to someone to give to you before you went on stage..I never knew if you got it because you never said anything... I'm sure you don't remember now anyway 😊

Good word MWS !! Your dad's style of correction is like mine. That was very encouraging to hear your description of him AND that it still influenced your decisions. Our son is going through the difficult time now and this was very helpful to me. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Thank you for your story I appreciate it thanks again

God bless you Michael you are giving God's blessing, prayers, message THANK YOU

Thanks Psalm 139&34

Love this!

Good testimony

Very interesting interview. I love to hear about religion.

Truly Our Father can chastise. I remember spending a very hard Christmas alone and was given a book. In the book contained all the answers to all the problems I was having. I knew I had been behaving unruly. I also knew someone was used to bring to light where I was going all wrong. Our Father uses at least to me chastisement in such a way that you can feel so profoundly loved in such a way as to understand and get what you have been missing in this life. I had come from all kinds of abuse and my idea of love was very backwards. A Father must chastise but mine had molested. The Father, our heavenly one does it in such a careful way as to get you to see Him first and know Him first but to also see how wayward you were. Love in just the word can be a dangerous thing. Those who abuse claim they love even though God would totally disagree. I just remember being happy after the book. In my heart I knew God was displeased but he rebuked instead of hammered me down for distasteful behavior. That was when I first understood pure, undefiled love. ❤❤🙏

Thank you!

MWS. MARCH ON

I enjoyed glasgow🫶💚☘️

Amen

One of my favorite song artists.

Wooooow

💕💕💕

I don't think God is holding a hammer behind is back but I do believe His heart is torn when we do those things that hurt Him and disappoint Him. We love to say He is a God of Love, and He is, but "He IS" also God of Justice and He loves justice and loves when we obey and keep His commandments and laws. Be careful not to label someone legalistic when they are really just trying to live by the standards and truths God has laid out for us in His Word. Don't let the word "legalistic" be your "get out of jail free" card so you can feel better about living life your way. You are no longer your own, you are no longer in control and are able to live life your way ...if you are a Christian then you have been bought with a price, your are a slave to Jesus Christ and you belong to Him. Know what you are signing up for, there is "Only One Way" ... His way. #nocompromises

🙏🙏

🙏❤👍

One can put this dialogue under any religious banner. Nothing about this sounds like a conversion.

❤🙌

Michael needs to play a young Pat Boone!

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Under our apostle paul’s ministry,we are only saved by believing The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross,shed His Blood for all of our sins,was buried and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ Shed Blood is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart

Ive shared this with Matt years ago that I've seen the first five seals and heard the first trumpet September 29,08 and from that time God started sealing the 144000 and come September feast of trumpets Gods through then the next picture Rev 7,9,14 a multitude in heaven but there taken out by the first four trumpets after the sealing Rev 7,1-4, so come September woe is man , after the first four trumpets take out 1/3 your then in the woes or last three trumpets 5,6,7 and trumpet six is the seven years of Daniel it's the second woe,, Rev 8,13 the angel says woe woe woe cause there's three more trumpets 5,6,7 then the 5th trumpet sounds and it's five months long then the first woe is over Rev 9,12 then the second woe comes the sixth trumpet and its told us in two parts first the kings of the east and they bring us to armageddon Rev 16,12 then the second part is Rev 11,1-14 the building of the temple and the two witnesses for seven years then the second woe is over Rev 11,14 then the third woe comes the seventh trumpet the Lord Jesus and thats the last trumpet 1cor 15 50,51,52 Matt 24,29,30,31 Rev 10,6,7 1THESS 4,13-17, Rev 11,15. So we are at the last tribe Benjamin then the hail and fire will fall.

Hello, amazing story....btw I's that you Laurie?

😊😊😊😊

The problem is if you get the rong info from your sherpard, you will get stuck for a long time. How many sheperds are sincere enough to admit their wrong teachings or mistakes made? They will usually keep quiet about it to preserve their pride. In the end you are the one grobing for the right direction in the dark, desperately finding the right direction to follow. They don't care. All they know is endless judgements and finger pointing. Then some others who are like them joined in, thinking they are doing great in God's eyes. Padding themselves on the shoulders. If they are less selfish and more responsible and accountable, it would save your sheep less miseries. They have to suffer unnecessarily because of the evil selfishness of those who are suppose to guide.

What is that weird sound like “help” right about 5:14-5:15, right after he pauses his speaking. Am I the only one that hears it?

What was the stuff …?

'gonna' 'gotta'......what's the deal with these words.?

I struggle wi Michael W. Smith's testimony. I have never heard him say he took his sin to the cross of Jesus Christ, and asked Jesus to be his Lord and saviour. Is Michael also a deceiver?

Christians, didn't Jesus tell us to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven? God's Kingdom is a heavenly government ruled by Jesus Christ as King. Soon Jesus will bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalms 37:9-11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on earth, Psalms 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! Jesus said that this good news of the Kingdom would be preached about in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come, Matthew 24:14! Soon Jesus will make sure that God's Will is done on earth as it is in heaven, will you be there to see it? John 4:22-24; John 17:3; Isaiah 42:8!

You were a child?
