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!

Sounds like this is what his father went through as a child too 😢 I pray this generational curses broken now in the name of JESUS!!

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.

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'm ten minutes in. This is BY FAR the hardest testimony I've ever heard. So sad! Those poor boys and mother. I'm so sorry they went through this. I don't know how parents can treat their kids that way. So horrible and sad! 😭

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.

The fact he’s able to be sane after all this is proof of Jesus

I experienced so much abuse and sexual abuse when I was a child. Today I am 48 almost 49 and I still feel the pain from my childhood. I hope one day I can tell my story .

I'm an adult and these details are too much for my brain, VERY DISTURBING... I cannot imagine what this could do to a child.

When his older brother said “don’t worry I got you” it hit me. I just think in my head these two babies trying so hard to protect and support each other. 😢😢😢 literally just trying to survive..

This was a really painful testimony. Took me 3 days to listen in full. I feel for children that go through this. 😔 Every adult failed them.

I'm 19 minutes in, and I had to pause this, and pray 😢 I'm in tears, and feel legitimate anger, and sorrow. This is so hard to listen to without getting angry. I pray God helps me to receive whatever message and wisdom He wants for me to have from this testimony.

When I was listening his testimony, my heart was aching and I couldn't breath. That was way too much abuse for 7-10yrs boys. I praise God for showing him his everlasting love, the abundant mercy and his grace. It is so powerful testimony!

His father was an absolute monster and his mother didn’t do anything to help. I’m so sorry you went through this.

I am 21 minutes in, and I’m having trouble not HATING his dad. Like literally wanting to see horrible things done to him. And, I’m just listening. Imagine going through it. Only God Himself could give someone the strength to forgive a man like that. Thank you, Jesus for the power of forgiveness. Thank you for being willing to share your testimony!

There should be some type of law in place that forces CPS to get involved once a child visits the hospital with questionable injuries a second time within a specified time frame. Accidents occur but after a second trip to the ER where you’re having the same nurse, you gotta look closely into it and question the parents, talk to the child in private. What an evil father, I can’t even imagine 💔

I was abused mentally, physically, and emotionally too. Sometimes it feels like you're alone. Thanks for your testimony.

This is one of the saddest testimonials ever. Definitely gona make me pray for children more. This is crazy. I HATE THE DEVIL!

Jon for someone who went through everything you did, you're still so full of joy. I sense such gentleness in you. Love you my brother in Christ!

My heart was aching when on every word he was spoke about the abuse 😭💔 Thank you Jesus for not letting the devil get the best of 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!!!!

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. His father is not just an abuser but a victim too, damaged by toxic masculinity. He was probably raised in a similar way he raised his two sons, surrounded by a macho, violent culture.

I am a mommy of 2 boys ages 15 and 9. I would/could NEVER standby and witness my children be abused. This mother had to have been in her own personal hell for all that she endured and allowed her children to endure. I understand it must have been difficult for her to leave her abuser so I pass no judgment and pray for continued strength for this family.

This is the most shocking testimony I’ve heard on here. The child abuse is so hard to fathom. He was failed by so many people. I just don’t understand God and why He allows these things BUT I know His healing power and I will follow Him forever. There will come a time, when we understand.

He tells his story with so much detail and emotion I couldn’t look away. I’m glad God saved you

If we can't protect our babies who will??? I can't imagine my beautiful boys being abused like this! This breaks my heart! We have to do better with the partners we decide to have kids by! God bless you for your testimony!

This is the hardest testimony I’ve listened to. My heart is broken for this man, his brother, and mother. I also think about how many other children have to endure this horrible lifestyle. Oh Jesus, have mercy Lord. Please use me in any way possible to stop, save, and protect children in this circumstance.

I am 65 yrs old and I remember my father being drunk and whipping, no beating, us with a belt. I remember him shooting a pistol at my Mom. What a horrible childhood it is. So I refused to have children for fear that I would not he a good father. I am so proud and happy for you because you have Christ in your life and that you have a family that you love so much. Thanks for breaking the cycle, for loving your children and for raising your children in Church. May God Bless You Brother.

This is such a crazy testimony. I’m almost 15 minutes in and I feel physical pain. Like seriously my chest hurts. It’s like I can feel at least 1% of their pain and sufferings. I have to take a few breaks because…Wow.. it just reminds me that I didn’t go through this because God knew I wouldn’t be able to handle it all. And although I do/did go through some traumatic things I still push through and handle it because God knows my limit. Thank you for these videos.

I am so sorry this happened. My body felt physical revulsion. The story was so sick and twisted. Thank you Jesus for delivering your precious son

Narcissists parents are the worst parents a person could ever have. Their abuses toward others are absolutely demonic in my opinion. This testimony broke my heart 😫Jesus, thank you for saving this man 🙏🏾

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. God bless you Jon. God will use everything you went through to help others. ( Your children have an incredible father!)

don’t stop posting these testimonies 😩🙏🏼

Cast all your burdens on to Jesus for he cares for you.

I get so ANGRY when I hear what this man's father considered to be a 'man'. The ultimate 'Man is Jesus Christ - full of love and compassion. Not hitting and damaging everybody around Him.

I won't lie this was really heavy his dad was tormented may God continue to work in this man's life and continue to bless him.

Evil, despicable “father.” 😤 I feel so mad hearing what Jon had to go through. God bring justice! As I continue to listen, wow, what an amazing Heavenly Father!

God did not put you through all this pain, your father and those demons who overpowered him did this to you. I'm glad you got that hug that reminded you of God's love.

I'm literally crying listening to your testimony. I went through a lot of physical abuse as a child myself with whippings for just arguing with cousins. Your father was a horrible horrible human being. After all the beating your father and those friends were just full of the devil. Why your mom didn't just leave your dad earlier I don't understand.

My heart weeps for what he went through. Praise God for what He has done in Jon's life

I was asking yesterday why I was angry. This testimony outlines that there is always a source to a broken person. But JESUS can heal any broken heart. He healed me yesterday when I asked why I was so angry, when he brought back some childhood trauma. I love this guy and would love to hug him.

I started to cry when he said “ Tell that 5 year old boy that God is control” I could literally see his life just by saying his testimony I could see his pain and could even feel his fear. He really is a man not of what his father put him through, but if what the Lord has done in him.

I got the belt buckle to the back too as a child....my road to healing started after I met Jesus. The scars remain, but the memories are now about forgiveness not the abuse. This story rings loud for me

This type of abuse sounds so typical in a hispanic family.. This really breaks my heart.. I just don't understand why women allow their partner to put their kids through this kind of abuse.. No excuses!

Heartbreaking how evil humans can be specially to their own flesh and blood 💔

May God have mercy 🥺 on every child who has to deal with abuse in the Holy name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Amen and Amen 🙏.

I’ve been through trauma as a child, it came from within the family also. But I could NEVER imagine this. 💔 May God hold him always, his testimony makes me feel so sick.

I’m so proud of the Man you’ve become. You’re so strong and you have been through so much.. you give hope to others who have been through this too. As a parent, and if no one has ever apologized…I’m sorry for the abuse you were put through. You all deserved more ❤

To suffer that much abuse at such a young and delicate age. I weeped for you. God is going to use you mightily as a testimony for His glory and turn that sorrow into joy for others. May our Father continue to bless you lead you and guide you in all that you do. Thank you so much for being brave enough to share such a traumatic experience.

"I didn't want to battle a demon with a demon" I felt that 🥺

I cried like a baby watching this testimony. I'm so sorry that you and your family had to endure all of that. But to know that God allows things to happen for his Glory is so POWERFUL!!!! Thank you for sharing. Praising and thanking God for saving your life!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾

What a beautiful soul you are Jon.. This testimony hands down is so devastating to the spirit and soul.. Your childhood trauma has been far from normal.. Your parents were very oppressed with demonic sources.. The evil you boys went thru and endured was so traumatic that im so shook up and want to embrace you with true deserving love from my heart. YOU ARE AN AMAZING MAN.. YOU AND YOUR BROTHER.. i can picture your brother sitting next to you.. Telling your sorrowful childhood together.. I hope he is as strong as you brother.. MAY THE CHAINS OF CYCLE ABUSE END I PRAY WITH THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.. please hug your children jon and thank your wife for standing in a loving you the way you deserve.. THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR THIS MANS SAVING GRACE . JESUS IS LORD

I can barely watch it halfway through and I’m just crying😰. The ones that are supposed to loves and protects us when we are children. That dad is just so evil. It breaks my heart.

Proverbs 18:21 says life and death are in the power of the tongue. So many people spoke death into this young man's life. Be a blessing to someone today and speak life to their life. 🙌

How can a mother allow this to happen!!!? 😭😭😭 and how can a father do this to His own children!? I’m sorry you had to go through this.

I was abused similar to this 😢 but I want to forgive my parents and learn how to through God I need peace

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.

Dude this made me so sad I'm sorry ☹️ I can't stop crying .

This breaks my heart to know that little kids go through this horrific pain. I'm sorry this happened to you. You are an incredible human being. You've been through so much pain and still became a nurse to help so many people with their pain and suffering. You're truly an inspiration and a gift of God. We need more people like you in this world. God bless you and your family. 💕

I cried so hard. Another style of abuse. Lord where are you? Help Lord. Mercy Lord.

“This is Gods son now” 😭😭😭

not only did you endure so much...but your personality is amazing...you have incredible story telling talent as well...I pray you will heal from all of it and have the happy life you so deserve

After so many ER visits, I am surprised that DCF never got involved?!?! This testimony is so painful. 😢😢😢

So sad to listen to Jon,s childhood abuse and equally sad that there were no adults around to protect these boys.Big hug to you Jon and glad that you got love from Jesus.

John is so brave for sharing his testimony! 🥺 WOW! Thank you for capturing and sharing with us! 💜

Literally can not even imagine going through that much trauma. God bless this man’s soul. Really awesome testimony.

Jonathan don't even know if you will ever read this, but if you do I would like to tell you that I'm here in bed sick with a fever and body ache just finished watching your testimony and im praising God for saving your life brother. For his unconditional LOVE for giving you hope and a future. I'm so happy that you can truly be happy now and that God is showing you how to be the father that you never had to your 3 little ones. God bless you and your family always 😁

My heart legitimately hurts for this man and what he went through. As a mother, I could never imagine having to put my kids through a life like that. I wouldn't care how but we would leave. It angers me so badly when i hear about kids being physically abused. My mothers father was a drunk and abused my grandmother...fortunately he died when my mom was still small and the abuse didn't last.

This world is so evil, it's so hard not to feel overwhelmed. I don't want to live in this world. I want to be with Jesus.

I can relate to the horrible abuse. My sister's and I endured physical and mental abuse from the one that was supposed to protect us,,, our Mother. I am now 52 years and I can now understand the why all four of us have had issues through out our lives.

The story is sickening in the beginning! It’s frustrating and hard to understand how a grown adult let alone a FATHER can treat a small child like that. May God continue to bless this man with love and recovery.

He's sooo strong I would have never been able to tell my story without shedding a tear!

this makes me so sad…i felt so heart broken. my tears won’t stop…wow…all i have to say is JESUS JESUS JESUS.

I'm around 18 minutes in and my hearts broke, I'm crying, this is extremely hard to watch I can't even imagine 💔

When I was a kid, I remember being in bed and all of the sudden I was pulled out of bed from my hair and my face was shoved into the drawer which had my socks and underwear. My mom was angry that they were not folded to her liking. I got a beating for that. 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 just made me cry. The abuse and the horror that little children had to go through. I thank God for helping you through all this

That’s My God. He has helped me so many time in my loneliness, His love can heal so many heartaches.

I cannot finish his testimony. I'm a mom, and it is SO heartbreaking 😢

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.

I am a 68 year old woman and I got blessed by your testimony! I sent it to my grandsons to listen to. Honey is your dad still alive? If he is I pray that he finds Jesus. Jesus has already found him I just pray that he responds to our Lord

Wow! Heart breaking testimony but Powerful! I grew up in Washington DC and do briefly remember the immigration situation in Langley Park, Maryland. It was infested with gangs there. Thank God he restored this man's life. Jesus also restored mine, he set me free from drug addiction, alcohol addiction, anxiety, depression, and sleep paralysis! I too didn't believe God could restore, but he did 😀

This was Soo hard to listen to the abuse he went through as a child. 😭 I can only imagine how traumatic this was to go through! My heart just breaks listening to this, knowing kids go through this!! Praise be to God for your life now!

Well, I'm 54 and was severely abused by my Mother to the point that my step Father started abusing me, because I had no one to protect me. 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.

These testimonies give you hope... give you life... feed your soul. This channel has become my favorite ♡

Thank you Jesus for saving my brother in Christ. It’s really beautiful what MY FATHER IN HEAVEN can do 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I pray he walks with the LORD forever ❤️

Wow such a heartbreaking story honestly this man is just amazing through everything he has gone through and still here today working with God, this just show not matter what you through thick or thin they always a way out through God 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Is a blessing whn someone goes through bad stuff as a child n God finds n saves them. Thank you Lord.

Wow I'm so sorry for all the pain you and your mom and your brother went through 😥. Thank God for saving you 🙏

Oh Dear God💔💔💔My heart. I have so many feelings right now. But then again WOW. 😊😊 There's nothing that God can't heal❤️❤️❤️He takes our pain away, but only if we let Him. ❤️🥳😊

My heart broke for this brother. So happy God is His only Father now ❤

Amazing testimony!!!! One of the best I’ve heard. Happy that he’s no longer suffering through all that childhood pain 🙏🏽

I know what you mean about the rage an abusive parent can create! I’m only 5’2 and people were scared of me!My dad was like your dad. I would go to school with bruises on my face, but in the 60 and 70s not much was done. We were middle income, looked like a “normal” family.... but it WASNT! Only I was abused. 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. Thank Jesus He changed my heart!!! I was able to forgive my parents, ONLY through the Holy Spirit

This was pure evil....and this dad I would love to see him one day and tell him what he deserves, yes Iam a Christian, but can't take this

Whew! This was HARD to listen to. Prayers to your entire family. This is extremely traumatized!!💔 Thank you Lord God for your healing and forgiveness❤❤❤❤

Wow this guy is the man no doubt. My dad was similar but not as crazy in some ways but in others he was just as nuts like making you fight with his freinds little brothers cousins ect so this hit kinda close. I swear had me choked up a bit so as I say this dude is now sane married with children is a huge testament in our savior 🙏

Amazing testimony loved the happy ending… I wish they made a movie about his specific testimony, I pictured everything in my head!

This is so traumatizing I am so sorry...I hope God continue to heal you from your childhood trauma

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. Yes

Just started watching and I’m already falling in love with his testimony!
