He has it all mapped out ....trust and obey is the secret

Marlon God paid me a visit in 2017. After that I went into the bottomless pit of depression, feeling like he left me alone after his initial visit. Then diagnosed with Bipolar disorder at age 57. I took the drugs that the doctor prescribed and it shut-me-up. During my time with him, he cracked me so wide open and nearly emptied me out. That is was like a brand new baby. Anyway there are a lot of similarities in your journey and mine. There’s a lot more to my story and The Lord is only now allowing me to write my testimony. Maybe someday I can share mine with you. I took an immediate liking to you while watching 2 Strong. You speak my language and I love the way you are able to articulate so many things that I stumble over. One last thing I want to say and it is that your wife is so blessed to have a man that sticks up for her the way you do. My husband doesn’t get me at all, AT ALL!!! Peace❤

I wrote this in my Bible: relevant to your son.As children bring their broken toys ,with tears for us to mend,I took my broken dreams to God because He was my friend.But then instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone,I hung around and tried to help,with ways that were my own.At last I snatched them back and said,"How could You work so slow"?"My child ",He said,"What could I do?You never would let go".

Thank you for pouring out our soul for us to witness your life's testimony

I am so glad you heard Him, Marlon!!!!!

You are so very brave to tell your story and it is one of hope... Keep doing what you're doing and know your story wasn't too long

Marlon I cried hearing your story. Not from sadness, but from joy. GOD never leaves us. His love is unconditional. He is always there for us. We try to put Him in a box. And make Him fit into our lives in a small minded way. GOD is all. And once we figure that out,and let Him take over, we are set free! Our sins are chains. I'm so glad that you came back to our glorious Father. And I am glad that you are free. If anyone thinks of you in a negative way, may they understand that GOD changes us from the inside out. Our past needs to stay in the past. I love you. You are my brother. Don't let the devil accuse you or condemn you anymore. You are a child of the ONE TRUE KING.

I'm so glad I found you Marlon!!! Please keep sharing because your teachings have been sooooooo great for my walk!!! I really LOVE your podcast!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Marlon. It's obvious that GOD is with you. The fact that you can share such personal information is evident. May HE continue to Bless and walk with you.

Thank you Marlon. Today one of my children was released from a 3 day stay at the hospital for mental evaluation. I prayed. Glory to GOD. They told my child go home... What my children fully understand the trauma you stated about your mother. We sometimes have to choose our mental health first to be able to help them. I see so many channels speak about selfish or narcissistic. PRAISE GOD for sharing your testimony. I pray anyone going through will hear this video. I am sharing it to many.

Oh my goodness thank you so much. What an encouragement. Keep pressing on.

My hubby hasbeen telling me to stop and listen ti God. He sits upthere just listening to us and we never just be still and listen to Him.God says "Be still and know that I sm God" I think He knows we're to busy with unimportant things,just to be STILL and listen to him.WHEN HE knows the answers.Sometimes HE sits us down.guess what? He knew your answer ALL ALONG.YOU,along with most of us just don't know how to be still.just like kids! HIS kids and He loves us through it.

So much of your story hits home for me...including feeling useless because my body is breaking down (this is recent). Pray for me. But I want to tell you I have heard God's voice audibly 4 times in my life. It is indisputable....thank you for sharing. What a blessing. Praying for you...I found you thru 2 strong.

Thank you Marlon, what a blessing to hear your story. God is using you mightily.

I love testimonies. I love to see other people’s journeys. I love to see how God calls each of us to Him. Thank you for sharing your story Marlon.

Lord bless you and your beautiful wife ❤️. I was wiping my tears away right along with you the same way at the same time. I love you and thank you for your testimony. ✝️🙏🏼🛐🙌🏼☝🏼❤️

Thank you Marlon for sharing your testimony. May God continue to bless you with wisdom and strength to spread His Word. May all those that hear you continue to be blessed. 🙏🏽 ❤️

Thank you for sharing your testimony today. Keep letting God use you as His vessel. I agree that we all must come to a point in our lives that we have to surrender our wants, needs and desires and accept the fact that God’s will be done. This journey we are on isn’t about us…it’s God’s plan for our lives and how He can best use us to glorify His name 🙏🏾

Thanks 🙏 Amen

That was very impressive. I loved your story, I cried, I smiled, very impressive thank you. Once I told God "Please take my life & do whatever you want, I put my life in your hands... Great things happened & when he wants me to save someone, he'll tell me to share my story. I always tell ppl devils way is very hard full of anger & hate. God's way is very easy. Love!

Thank you thank you for sharing your heart & testimony! I can relate in so many ways, especially with your son. Give it all, stand firm & Praise Jesus our Savior 💛🙏🏼

Beautiful testimony Marlon! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for sharing. I really think Jesus is going to use your testimony to set some people free. You are really brave to put it all out there, but I know you give all the glory to God. Blessings to you and your family.

Thank you for sharing your journey through this life, before Christ and after. It is a constant moment to moment walk and it is so much easier walking with Him. That is where the peace and joy are. Keep doing what He has caller you to do, it is blessing so many of us. I pray physical strengthening for you because I know how emotionally draining this "looking in the rear view mirror" can be. Bless you for being willing to share. 🤗🤗

As I've said before I knew it was God that led me to 2Strong and Straight Talk 💯without a doubt! Marlon your testimony was so needed by many. I didn't speak much in chat because I wanted to be completely focused on what you were saying. You were speaking about me at times and to me more than you'll ever know. There is Power in your teachings- GODS Power....Im very thankful that through you God speaks to me in ways very easy for me to understand. I'm sure many others feel the same. Thank you for Sharing and Thank you for helping me to "Let Go and Let God"❤ Much Love, Respect and Blessings to you Marlon and your Family✝💜

To thyself be true we all have a story to tell. The truth will set you free.

Dear Marlon I Love You my brother, what a honest beautiful testimony, my name is Cheryl and I was so touched by your heartfelt truth, I am encouraged to get my life deeper with the Lord cause I can relate to alot that you have been through, Thank You for sharing, it means alot to me.

Marlon, I have watched you and 2-Strong several times. So… I decided to watch this for a few mins. I’m half way thru and can’t stop. I can tell you that I have enjoyed you and that I think your are amazing. Now, back to the video. It’s almost 10pm and I need to watch the whole thing. With all your pauses, it will be long… but absolutely worth it. Thanks!

Thank you dear Marlon, your story is my story... what a blessing you are... God's way and timing for us is always perfect, when we let go everything to Him...God bless you and your family...this was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time .

I play ya on my blue tooth speaker, my who family listens while we do chores and cook breakfast. ❤

Love it… thanks for sharing Downtown Brown. I commend you because it takes so much confidence to do what you do. God gave you this assignment. So just keep going because it’s wonderful! He gave you this responsibility so you can help reach all of us. Awesome job Marlon 🤗

I’m listening to you while I’m at work. I’m speechless. God sent me to your channel.

Great testimony! Just know you are absolutely NOT ALONE! You've told the story of many people and many still struggling with it! Praise God, you made it out and you are Blessed~

God will not take our life until our number is up . Great testimony God won this battle

Your testimony is very authentic and beautiful. It was probably very healing for you to share it. More people need to be open and honest like this. It helps others to be closer to God. I really appreciate it Marlon. Very healing 🤍

God bless Marlon❣️🙏❣️Thanks.

Thanks Marlon brother we all have a journey no matter how big or small and what matters is your journey to God seek him and be led by his spirit his order is the only way of living a sin free life that's what people have to understand is you are sin free when you are led by the spirit of God well hopefully you can get Cory on here at some point.

Thank you for sharing your story. Certainly God brought you through for a great purpose. You have been giving me a lot to consider. I first somehow happened upon your & Cory’s 2 Strong channel and later your Straight Talk channel. Keep up the good work & God bless you and your families. 🙏🙏🙏💕

The Bible says my sheep will hear my voice! He loved us when we were His enemy, He didn’t let us die in our sins! I had to surrender all in my darkest place where I found He had always been there patiently waiting, watching and loving me as He walked me home to wanting only Him and truth. So grateful for your journey and growing faith. Thank you Marlon 🔥

Don't worry about them Marlon.

Thank you for sharing your testimony. It takes a lot of courage to honor even the darkest parts of your journey. I am happy for you that God has blessed you with sons, so that you can be the father to them that your dad was to you and in doing so help you to heal. He truly is Amazing Grace. God bless you and your family. People like Bruce need to learn to give the grace that they yearn for from God. I am happy that you have reached this place of peace.

Thank u for sharing your story

I hear you and I can relate. God is a triune God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I can relate to the kids too. I am a single mom of five. Four boys and one girl....all of them are now grown up. All of them are christian

No one is higher than Jesus, and I agree that is who has sway in your life. Those commenters can lash out, but it reaches back to them. You can't avoid the truth, you'll face it here or you'll face it before Jesus. I prefer here to face it and stay with Jesus. So thank you so much Marlon. I know what repent is and I believe everything you said.

My beautiful brother Marlon through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Thank You for sharing your testimony! I got saved 4/4/2020. My relationship with my Father is more than I could have ever imagined or asked for! I never had an earthly Dad. It took me 49yrs, I literally lived 49yrs off of God's mercy! I am so beyond Thankful for Jesus shedding His precious blood to pay for my sin debt! Again Marlon, Thank You for sharing!

Thank you for your transparency. 8t takes courage to lay your life out in front of everybody. Telling your story is helpful to those with similar experiences.

Thank you Jesus for this testimony! Thank you for allowing Him to use you. May God continue to bless you and your family. I thank Him in advance for the blessings to come for me and my family. It’s surrendering time.🙌🏽

Marlon, your testimony is heartwarming. May God Almighty continue to bless and protect you and your family.

REPLAY 💜 💜 Every time, it is an amazing testimony. To God be the glory 🙏🏻🕊🙌🙌 ⚔️🙌

I truly understand your testimony. Hearing the voice of GOD has been my most satisfying & fulfilling memories, and it's when I knew HE called me, friend. Now I always listen for his voice. Your son wrote you that letter on my birthday 2 years ago. Confirmation that GOD speaks.

GOD WINS

I’m so glad you found KZfaq and so glad I found you! God had His hand in everything. I’m sure you have and will continue to help save ppl and bring them into the Kingdom.

True it is all about sleeping..hybernate and worship

I did that with my Nephew. I told God, I'm gonna give him to you! Because I can't. God is dealing with it! He is moving out in a few days. He is slowly moving out. He'll be out on the 20th.

Yessss, Marlon! Repentance...repent means go to the highest place...like penthouse, the penthouse suite is at the top!!! Change the way you think and operate. Thank you for sharing this!! I too have heard the audible voice of God and can say He is a "man" of very few words. He will tell you something and you either do it or wonder for the rest of your life what blessing you missed out on!!! God bless you, sir 🙏🙏❤❤

Your story has me in 😭 .Praise God that he kept you..and now you are an amazing..powerful warrior for the Lord..Thank you for your amazing story about God's grace and mercy..The Lord deals with everyone differently because that's why it's a personal relationship with Him..He knows what it takes to bring us to Him.. and everyone's journey is different 💖🙏🏽✝️❤️💯

Thanks so much Marlon for your very touching testimony 🙏🙏🙏. GOD is using you mightily! Don’t give up! He is using you to encourage others. You have been very vulnerable. God wanted it no other way. We will be praying for you and your family. Be blessed !

Such a GREAT testimony. Thank you for sharing. SHALOM

Thank you for your testimony!! Timely🙏

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was especially touched when you read your son Caleb's letter to you. His life before you let him go and gave him to God reminds me of my ex who passed away from what they thought was an accidental overdose in 2021, although I feel it in my heart that it was intentional. I know that there was still nothing I could have done to change the outcome, but I never stopping loving him and wanting the best for him. God has blessed you and your family. 🙏❤️🙏

Beautiful testimony Marlon.

Marlon, I am just seeing this. Praise God, I am truly overcome by the words of your testimony. Keep doing what God has called you to do. Blessings to you and your Family

Thank you for sharing with us I truly can’t tell you enough how much you continue to teach & help me with bringing me closer to God through all of your straight talk lives You truly are a blessing to so many more of us than you know As is your wife Bc her testimony was very relatable to things from my past I am grateful that was shared on live I know you’re probably tired of seeing my comment in straight talk lives about wishing you offered a bible study class I apologize for bugging you but I learn so much from you You make it easy to understand and relatable I could go on & on Thank you I truly appreciate you

Beautiful Story ❤❤❤

Amen 🙏

I just want to say Thank you so much for Sharing your testimony. God works in mysterious ways we don’t always understand why he works the way HE does .God brings Beauty from ashes. I thank God for you and what he is doing through you. God is always in control. God Bless you and may HE continue using you for HIS Glory,Amen ❤

I know that feeling about what you say about talking for hours. My relationship was the same with Christ.

If you hadn't gone through your journey, you could never have compassion for his journey, and those tears you share as you read would never bring you that "joy." I used to be a member of Perfecting Church, with Pastor Marvin Winans, and his dad, Pop Winans would often exclaim, "HE'S A WONDER," indeed HE is!!!!

😂 Man oh man! You really got me in the beginning 😂 funny guy! Lol! Still watching.

Marlon, you are a seed planter, watchman and God's Elect. Because of Elect, you really aren't in control of your life. He totally directs and controls. The first shall be last and the last shall be first.

Thank you I needed to hear this desperately. Thank you for your testimony and letting me I need to keep on pushing through and not giving up😢❤

💗🙏🏼💗

yeah I know depression, self hate, self medicate, medicate you escape in turn begin to hate and round and round depression goes, which not taking care of it will destroy you and the people that love you.

I'd rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today..

Keep letting God use you brother

Thank you for sharing your touching testimony, Marlon. Your sensitivity to the voice of God shows your steadfast love for honor and truth. Have you considered writing a book? And yes, I recall and love the old hymns. I think I heard you say, in another video, that you taught voice. So we know you can sing. You’re probably a strong tenor. 🎶 🎤 I’m a relatively new subscriber who looks forward to your current offerings. I’m glad for the ability to visit some of your past videos, like this one, as well. Blessings to you and your family.

Marlon,Here from the chat...GOD BLESS

Thank you Marlon for your truth honesty love and passion respect now I get you

This was a blessing to listen to. Thanks 😊 💖

Just listened. Great testimony and thank you Marlon.

Jim Reeves, yes!!!!!

It's ok Marlon ❤

So did I! I was angry for a very long time

What an amazing testimony....

Actually acceptance is the key. We continually repent while we are in this sinful body.

I'm just going to listen then comment when your done speaking your words.

Great raw sincere testimony. Thank you for sharing it!

I remember listening to Jim Reeves on my late Mom's 8 track!

Thank you Marlon,that's a heartfelt and powerful testimony

🙏 🙏

💞

I know like seriously almost word for word my life too. Crazy as it seems it the Truth. It literally took me years and years. More to say as you speak. Couldn't wait until your done because i don't want to forget what i want and need to say

😂😂😂 That's It, That's All! Thank You & Goodnight 😂😂😂

Dang Bruce! SHeeSH

😢

Let go and let God

❤‍🩹

🤧🤧🤧

Bro. Marlin the Most High's word says if we take another person to be our spouse while our 1st spouse is still alive we are in adultery 😢. There's still time to repent.

I have audible heard God's voice
