The number of NL atheists turned Christians seemed to be rising on a regular, so this thread is specially devoted to them to share their testimonies and experiences to inspire others, including those atheists who may be contemplating leaving atheism for Christianity but need some encouragement. I will be mentioning monikers of some I can remember now but would be updating them subsequently when more come up, so if you know any NL atheist that converted to Christianity, kindly mention their monikers so they could be added to the list. NL atheists turned Christians: 1. Myer/Pressplay411 2. Jakanda1 3. Michellekabod1 4. Drjones109 5. GXCHANGE 6. Lonestar124 7. NSNO 8. InAfconSquad 9. TheSixthSense 10. Purem If God could do it for these above, He could also do it for you too, because what God cannot do does not exist! AMEN! |
NSNO:Kobojunkie the wolf that comes in sheep clothing. By their fruits you shall know them. |
FxMasterz:It's obvious the devil has completely blinded him so he can't see it despite how glaring it is. These are the same people that want to correct/advice others yet they can't see the mountain in their own eyes. |
Including Mary, Elizabeth, Esther, Deborah, and the likes that God chose, right? The devil has certainly got your sight on lockdown, hence why you could see the most devilish things and yet have the effrontery to spew it out in the name of God, because your ability to discern even blatantly demonic ideas is outright dead. May God deliver you from this utter madness and deeply-rooted hatred for the female gender that has completely striped you of the ability to reason sanely when it comes to any topic that concerns fhat gender. It will completely destroy you if you don't repent before it gets out of hand and beyond redemption. |
Jackanda1:There's one with the moniker, xmuslim. If I'm correct, it's the same person that has the moniker, Aaliyu or so. |
The Longest Walk! This is the 56th year of me carrying the cross around the world in every nation. 1968-2023. The Guinness World Record for the longest walk/pilgrimage. Over 43,340 miles (69,748 km) in 324 countries, island groups & territories. 86 million steps and over 19 billion pounds of total weight carried. Sharing Jesus, the cross and the gospel message. My wife Denise has driven in front with supplies and has been with me in 294 countries. We are just pilgrims, donkeys lifting up the cross and Jesus. God bless you. Arthur and Denise Blessitt 51 YEARS OF CARRYING THE CROSS AROUND THE WORLD BY ARTHUR BLESSITT Glory! This is the 51st year of walking carrying a 12 foot cross around the world. (1968-2019) My mind is focused on Jesus! As of October 17, 2019 I’ve walked with the cross 43,326 miles (69,726 km) including every nation, major island group and territory. For the Glory of God. Jesus did it. At the age of 78 I’m still carrying the cross in 2019! This is the Guinness World Record for the World’s longest walk/pilgrimage. 86 million steps, over 19 billion pounds carried as I walked with the cross. The weight is figured by the total of my body weight and the cross weight on my shoulders multiplied by the number of steps. The faces of millions of people I have seen or met along the way flood my memory. As a young pastor the night Jesus called me to full time evangelism as I prayed on a hilltop outside of Elko, Nevada. Jesus showed me the sky filled with the faces of people I had never seen before. People of all colors, races, cultures and religions. It was to these I was called. None of these faces I had ever seen before. His call to me was the world! I have now seen almost all the faces I saw that night. I believe when I see the last face Jesus will call me home. This took place about four years before Jesus called me to make the 12 foot cross and take the first steps with it. I was then 27 years old. I had no idea what lay ahead or that my life would become so intertwined with the cross. I got a taste of carrying the cross in 1968 and 1969. But little did I know it would consume my life when I walked out of Hollywood, California down Sunset Strip on Christmas Day, 1969 heading east toward New York and Washington DC. I was to become a fool in the eyes of many and a saint in the eyes of others. The road with the cross would lead me through wars, jungles, deserts, cities and to every continent, nation and major island group and territory. I walked into the world to meet people face to face. To hear the hurting and lost calling out to hear the message of love and hope as well as the screams of hate, anger and rejection. To help lead people to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord is the ultimate mission of carrying the cross and of my life. I preach and share the Gospel message of the cross, the Holy Blood of Jesus shed for our sins on the cross. The call is to repent of our sins, believe and trust in Jesus and to follow Him. Nothing is greater than to share the hope and life there is in the resurrected Christ. Along the way I was to kiss the lepers, touch the sick and diseased. I wept with the hurting and shared hope with the lost and dying. I saw the love of Jesus manifested in peoples lives and rejoiced with them along the roads. Sometimes one person and at other times with tens of thousands of people. The people of the world have welcomed us or we would not be here. We ate their food, drank their drinks, slept on their mats or bed and were welcomed as family the world over. However, neither the cross or Jesus or ourselves were always welcomed. The curses rang out, knives at my neck, guns at my head, a firing squad with guns pointed at me, spit on my face, beaten and so often in danger, arrested 24 times and in 54 nations at war. My life became a saga of struggles and triumph, praise and damnation. Attacked from every direction beyond what anyone could imagine. Don’t ever think that carrying the cross around the world will only attract applause. I’ve carried in my heart the suffering of the poor, the hungry and wept with the pain of seeing injustice, discrimination, hate, killings, wars and persecution. The attacks on the followers of Jesus in our world is so common. Lack of freedom of religion is rampant. It has been a true miracle that my wife Denise and I have gone openly into all these nations that have sought to destroy and restrict the Bible, the cross and the message of Jesus. Yet Jesus led us in and led us out. The cross the devil hates. Anything to destroy the cross or the cross carrier is open game. I had to reach the point where criticism and praise affect me the same. There were no bodyguards to protect. The way of the pilgrim is not to defend yourself but to bless your enemies. To love in the face of hate, lies, evil and discord. This has been for us to live out and put into practice as Jesus has asked us to do. Our life of walking with the cross and sharing the message of the cross… Jesus has been hard for many to comprehend. Denise and I are too religious for many of the secular and too secular for many of the religious. The cross shakes everything up. I’ve been turned away from leaving my cross at over half the churches I’d asked to leave my cross at overnight but was never turned away from leaving my cross at a bar. I want to clearly say that my wife Denise is fearless and loving yet strong and a true follower of Jesus. So often she is in front of me and faces the dangers first. God knew that I could not make it without her. She is as much a part of the cross mission as I am. We are one. How awesome to have been blessed with Denise by my side. Many don’t know where we fit. I’ve been welcomed and kissed on the cheek by Yasser Arafat in the middle of war, spent the night at Prime Minister Begin’s home in the Sinai, received the Sinai Peace medal in Egypt at the Presidential Palace, met with Pope John Paul II in Rome, took Billy Graham into the battlefield in Belfast, prayed with George W. Bush in Midland, Texas, preached on stage during the 1960’s with Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan talked with me in the park as I preached in Miami, have been welcomed by the President of the United Nations General Assembly and preached at some of the largest churches and stadiums in the world. On and on I could go. The path of the cross winds it way through every nation in the middle east and the world including North Korea. Our lives as pilgrim followers of Jesus has led my wife and I and also my children to feel that the world is our home. Fifty years with the cross has changed me as well as it has changed others. I feel as much at home in a crowded Indian market as I do in Los Angeles. I feel more at home kicking a ball made with rags by African children than I do at Disney World. I love to preach on the roadsides with no time clock and live stream on the internet for as long as I want to. It is too hard now to fit me into an 18 minute sermon inside a lovely building with a time clock that turns red when you go overtime. On the road I returned to my early young days of preaching in jails where there was no music. So I have preached the world over with no music groups or worship music to warm up the crowd. I just speak and the people who want to hear will stay. When I walk, I walk with Jesus. Wherever we go we share Jesus. Whatever we do we seek to lift up Jesus. That is my passion. I am just a simple Jesus loving gospel preacher and a lover of people the world over. We love all people. We share Jesus and when people meet Him He gives them a new heart and life. When the heart is changed the life starts to look more like Jesus. I stay focused on letting Jesus change people, not me. Another thing I’ve learned is commitment to the call and mission Jesus gives for us to live. To stay determined and to go forward no matter what is ahead. I learned early on that ‘circumstances don’t alter the call’. We are to act and not live our life reacting to the events, words or actions of others. Follow Jesus. I am a work in progress. Jesus has been grinding me to powder so that He can blow me where He will. I’m a saved sinner. Every day I pray and repent and say “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God have mercy on me a sinner.” I love the Holy Spirit showing me where I have failed and welcome God being the Potter molding me and making me more like Jesus. I want to be convicted of my sins, things I may do or things I did not do or thoughts that are not from the Mind of God. I truly love to follow Jesus. I love the Bible, the Word of God. I quote scriptures as I walk, sing songs to the Lord along the road. I worship and praise God. Jesus likes my company too. I love to live in the Presence of God the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One day soon I shall take my last breath and will step into the glory of Heaven and onto the streets of Gold to meet my God the Lord of Hosts. I feel that I’ve had the most blessed life in the world. From a child I’ve sought to follow Jesus. I recommend Jesus to you. See your sin…Understand your need, repent and welcome Jesus who shed His Holy Blood on the cross for my sins and yours. Ask Jesus to save you and come to live in your heart right now. Start following Jesus without shame. Tell others the message of salvation in Jesus. The greatest value in this world for a follower of Jesus is to lead a lost person to Jesus to be saved. I live from one soul saved to the next. A person’s soul and where they will spend eternity is the most important thing in the world. Jesus said “what shall it profit a person if they should gain the whole world but lose their own soul.” If we say we love others yet do not care where they spend eternity, something is very wrong. Together we shall see a world-wide awakening as the cross is shared and Jesus lifted up in all the earth. The cross has been with me for so long my body has been changed by the weight of the cross…my shoulder, my feet and my knees, etc. But most of all the weight of the cross and the Presence of Jesus has changed me, my heart and life. I close with this thought. Simon of Cyrene was in Jerusalem at the time appointed by God to be there to help Jesus carry the cross to Calvary. Simon was a sinner like you and me but he could help Jesus on the way to the place where Jesus was to die on the cross. Simon could help carry the cross but Simon could not die for the sins of the world. Only Jesus, the Word that became Flesh and lived without sin could do that. God gave Himself and shed His Blood for our salvation that whosoever will may come. After the cross and the resurrection and Jesus ascending into heaven those that know Him as Savior are to be His witnesses. We are to carry the cross into all the world with the message of Jesus. I don’t know why but before Jesus called me to carry a large life-sized cross on a long journey, it to my knowledge had never been done before. Sure some had carried the cross at Easter and others a few miles. But I have never been able to find any historical evidence of a person carrying a large cross across nations or continents. I am so humbled and truly unworthy to even carry the cross. But I learned that Jesus’ call makes me worthy. I have learned not to follow the normal but to be willing to step out and break through the walls that have been holding back the bold and daring in their journey of following Jesus and His radical callings. Now there are thousands carrying large crosses in nations and cities all over the world. What Jesus called me to do has opened the floodgates and people will be carrying large crosses until Jesus comes. May God bless all those who are or will be carrying crosses for Jesus as a witness to others and God bless all the pilgrims who are following Jesus. I encourage you on your journey. Remember this world is not our home. We are but pilgrims and strangers “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Jesus said. This is just another step on the long journey with the cross for the One that is truly Worthy! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Worthy is the Lamb! Amen. All Glory to God.

Hmmm... |
Steep:That's why it's foolish to quote the Op when you haven't read through what you quoted before you started speaky ignorantly. The Op said the election was rigged so the only liar here is you! What else does someone expect of an antichrist who despises the teachings of Christ? You are blind to the mountain of rigging in your eye but can see clearly that in the eyes of others? Where were you when Wike was rigging massively for those you support? It's now he rigged for those you don't support that you're crying foul. Such a lying hypocrite! |
bobestman:Tinubu is not a saint neither is Peter Obi or the other leading candidates, but in terms of proven competence at the leadership level, he trumps them all so stop being ignorant. The way though you guys try to whip cheap sentiments and playing the hate or victim card is getting too embarrassing. You're obviously a hate-filled child. Your hatred for Tinubu is palpable but you should realize that not everyone is like you. The Op didn't state anything that showed hatred or dislike for Peter Obi, he's just being honest and fair in judgment so stop being so childish in your analysis. What else would someone expect though from someone who could be brainwashed to believe the glaring lie that Jesus was a black man? |
CodeTemplar:You mean vocal prophets as the tithe heretic and thieves' supporting church leader below?
|
CodeTemplar:Lol. The mammon slave couldn't resist a thread which spoke about money. Are all gays lovers of money? |
CodeTemplar:Wow! Is that how cruel all gays are? No wonder you hate the teachings of Jesus so much because it brings your evil works to light. |
^^^^^Is this how gays/mammon slaves try to cover up their dark secrets? You won't remember what Jesus said until it comes to accumulating money? |
CodeTemplar:Is that all gays do? Cursing people in the name of Jesus? |
CodeTemplar:Is that what gays do to those who speak against homosexuality, because that's similar to what your friend, the other gay posing as a Christian here falsely accused jesusjnr because of his antigay posts. What though is expected of someone who believes every word of the devil in the Bible is the Word of God, you must also believe the homosexuals of Sodom and Gomorrah were also children of God who kept the word of God, hence following their example even though it's abominable and goes against the teachings of Christ. No wonder you hate the teachings of Christ so much thou slave of mammon.

Dtruthspeaker:You're desperately trying hard to cover up your lies that the woman was not made by God on the sixth day before He took a rest, but your lies has been found out by the Bible not me. Imagine, you expect your preaching to have the backing of the Spirit when they're filled with such lies? That's why you'd keep being a noisemaker, with no result to show, because the Spirit of God is the Spirit of Truth not of lies as those you hold and spread in the name of preaching. Someone too blind to comprehend simple account of creation in the Bible, talking about lack of comprehension. Smh. |
Dtruthspeaker:Abeg antichrist posing as a Christian go an sit down somewhere if you're not shameless. John the Baptist had results. Souls were coming to repentance as a result of his preaching even though he did no works. Jesus had such results. He proudly displayed them. The apostles had results. Many souls were won into the kingdom because of them and they weren't aft to talk about them where need be. jesusjnr has results of his preaching here. Souls including atheists were being won into God's kingdom. You can ask NL atheists or your fellow so-called Christians who were here then to confirm this if you weren't. You upon all your "fighting" or preaching, nothing to show. No single soul, and still you're have have no shame, trying to teach those who are producing results how to win souls. Thank God it's not up to toothless bulldogs and spiritual nonentities like you, otherwise this place would have remained overrun by atheists and Satanists that God used His servant jesusjnr and a couple of others to slow down drastically. Even if you don't like jesusjnr just for the sake of what God is using him to do here which you know very well about, you should be the last person to be distracting him if you really loved God. But obviously, you're an antichrist so it makes sense why you'd continue to be a tool in the hands of the devil. |
Dtruthspeaker:I only did that to prove the kind of bare-faced liar and hypocrite you are. The Bible clearly stated the woman was created on the sixth day before He rested on the seventh day, and gave a more detailed explanation of the process here, but you reject what the Bible says because of your hatred and bitterness against the female sex. Does the past tense mean that it was later than the sixth day? You believe God did this after He finished all work on His creation and rested on the seventh day according to th Bible? The liar here could only be the person who believes and spread such malicious lies about God's creation work. |
Dtruthspeaker:I'm a liar right, so you believe Genesis 2:22 happened on the sixth day before God took a break? Genesis 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. |
Dtruthspeaker:You think it's just about making much noise here because anyone can do that. This is about results, winning spiritual battles and lost souls for the kingdom of God. In just a couple of months of the Op being here, God used him to convert a well-known NL atheist to Christianity to the confounding of atheists here, including the owner of this forum. That's result not noisemaking, and that's just one of the great things God has used the Op to achieve since his arrival on this platform. So you claim to be here since 2019, so please kindly show us just one result of your being here if not just noisemaking. No souls, no even talking of atheists, nothing, but you want to teach someone God's using to win souls and make a significant difference here about soulwinning? Except you want the Op to become a mere noisemaker like you without any impact whatsoever. The Op is not your mate when it comes to soulwinning, so please until you have any result to show for your talks here, you don't qualify to speak to the Op on this matter expect to learn. |
Dtruthspeaker:Of course you have no sense of shame or dignity so would continue to lie to deny your own lies even when you've been caught red-handed by the Bible? You surely cannot give what you don't have when your heart's full of lies of the devil. No wonder you're one of those also spreading the lies about the woman sleeping with the serpent. Like serpent (Satan), like servant. |
Dtruthspeaker:Why would you care when your god is the devil behind the atheists and Satanists initially ruling this section and having a field day here, before God sent the Op and one or two others to cleanse this section and destroy the works of the devil here? You are not happy because your god the devil is being openly disgraced and put in his rightful place here by the Op, so you want to chase him out of here, so things would go back to the way they used to be, abi? The devil whom you serve is indeed a liar. |
Dtruthspeaker:Continue spreading your malicious lies that the woman was not created on the sixth day by God, but the Bible would keep exposing you as a liar that you really are. Wolf in sheep clothing pretending to sheep. |
Dtruthspeaker:Lol! Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Your lies and the evil thoughts of your heart has been found out by the Truth. Truthspeaker In mouth but liar indeed. |
Dtruthspeaker:Where are the results of all your talking since you've been here? Every time a soul is won, there is rejoicing in heaven. There are stars on the crown of every soul winner in heaven. He that wins a soul is wise and God has been using the Op to win souls here, including those of atheists, but instead of learning from those who are achieving glaring results here by the power of God's Spirit, you're being envious and be attacking them. Is that not being antichrist? Or do you want the Op to become a noisemaker like you, all talk with nothing to show for it, so you can be happy and rest? God forbid bad thing. |
Dtruthspeaker:So much noisemaking yet nothing to show for it. Instead of continuing to envy, you should humble yourself and learn from Jesus or those who learnt from Him, and were being used by Him to win souls, including atheists here. Envy without learning how to achieve similar results would get you nowhere. |
