  • The Word says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. I appreciate Michael English's honesty, but I think it's time for him to have the funeral for the past, and move on. He made a grave error in judgment and he sinned, as we all have. Through the blood of Christ he's been forgiven. I think he should stop talking about it now, because God has removed it from him as far as the east is from the west.

  • Michael, I pray you are still keeping on. Love you brother.... Hope you see this youtube page and know that you are still not alone. You have God Himself, your family, and your brothers and sisters in Christ rooting for you everyday.... Thanks for sharing your story. It is an inspiration to all. Take good care of yourself.

  • This is the precious thing I ever heard.

  • If you were on the receiving end of being in his situation you may see a different side. People in high places can cry for what they did in pubic and get back up on their rocket ship and fly off in glory. Meanwhile the person that received their afflicting blows has scars that will never heal pain and suffering that they deal with everyday. And don’t say Jesus can do everything because the Lord doesn’t heal pain from being abused for a lifetime. Submitting to the insult is all that is reaped.

  • God Be with you Mike..I am proud of you.

  • I think Mike's life shows that he is human just like the rest of us, not a celebrity or a star but a human being with regualr struggles like the rest of us, he just lived his in public. I pray for him and if you read his book you will never look at things the same.

  • Glory to our holy and loving Father; thank you Lord for Jesus...those who love you are waiting for your return. Hallelujah!!

  • There's healing in the name of Jesus! He who has begun a good work in me will see it through to the day of Jesus Christ.

  • There's healing in the name of Jesus!

  • Oh Michael, thank God for His Lovingkindness and tender mercies! You are truly a man of God and He has delivered you and now your testimony is an inspiration to all who are going through STUFF!!! Love you my dear brother in Christ! God bless you and make you stronger every day!

  • THE PIT IS NEVER TOO DEEP FOR THE LORD TO REACH DOWN AND TAKE U OUT...

  • aww, its okay sweetie. Its all better now...

  • Michael has gone through alot. He was addicted to prescription pain pills in the 1990's and early 2000's . He was in a wreck in the 1990's. Give the guy a break. God has forgiven him so why won't the seven people who disliked this video do the same. Praise GOD !!

  • This reminds me of that passage about the Prodigal son. We all stumble and have weakness, but Jesus would always be there. It does not matter what happens in a believer life, abiding in the Lord is his/her life. Look in the mirror before you start being judgmental, remember that Jesus said he did not to condemn the world, but that he world may be saved through him.

  • King David sinned and his temple will be rebuilt, by God Himself. Who are we to judge Michael? sin is sin....gossip, overeating ,turning a blind eye to the needs of

    Jewish people.

    Please help the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It is something, as Christians ,we MUST do. I will bless those that bless thee.....pray for the peace of Jerusalem. amen.

  • Amen. God is so wonderful.. he will give you strength to overcome any addiction or thing that has you bound, if you only place your trust in him and believe <3 Powerful testimony Michael Thank you so much for sharing.

  • Maybe we all should remember to look at other people's sin's as if they were their own, maybe, just maybe we with begin to see our brothers and sisters through Jesus eyes and do with that what Jesus would do with that knowledge! WWJD?

  • Thank you, Micheal for your TESTIMONY, GOD IS LOVE AND GOD IS FORGIVENESS

  • AMAZING TESTIMONY....READ HIS BOOK...IT WAS AMAZING!

  • @sherrilynncoats Do you know the Title/ name of the book?

    Thanks.

  • @Demama777 "The Prodigal Comes Home"

  • Love you Michael English, God Bless

  • michael you are great inspiration threw christ  and GOD THANKS

  • WOW, I never knew Michael English was an addict.....just goes to show even the most wonderful people have been through something, but they didn't go alone. Jesus was there.

  • This is such a wonderful testimony .God is always with us no matter where we are in the valley or on the Mountain...

  • Michael sinned against Jesus, his family and himself. He didn't sin against those who listen to his music. The man needed prayer and support. Those close to him attempted to help him as I'm sure many people prayed for him. Those who condemn him and Marabeth Jordan for what they did are no better than the Pharisees of Jesus day. Why did Jesus defend the woman caught in sin and stand against those with rocks in their hands? Disapproval of sin shouldn't be equated with hating a fallen brother.

  • @Palimostra amen. this is something God has placed on my heart and i felt i was alone in this belief. When some1 sins its imporant 2 still love that person. They are still Gods child, and God still loves them

  • God Bless you Michael

  • My story. . . So powerful.. bless you, Michael for having to live this in front of the world.

  • The fastest growing addiction in america is to pornography.

  • Just beautiful. Bless the Lord

  • I went through trying of self medicate while struggling with bipolar. I searched for the strength to win this battle for years and it wasnt until i thought to myself one day If only you could help me Lord, that my answer came. I was in a darkened sanctuary by myself, felt someone embrace me and looked up to see a banner that read Those Who Walk With God Always Reach Their Destination. Praise God for helping Michael, me and so many others out there!

  • wow!!!! a miracle..

  • Tears of both pain and joy. Lord, help us Jesus - we ALL need You and You alone O Lord!

  • i think michael english has lived the life of a sinner and found his way back to the lord. if the lord can frogive him why cant radio stations and chritians do the same for such a talent

  • @GAbigdaddy2002 I will say this about why I don't forgive Michael English: He didn't sin against me. No offense exists that I should forgive him for. I pray for him and listen to his music. We all have addictions that Jesus works out of our lives if we let Him. Sometimes Jesus needs to allow us to hit the other side of the bottom. Michael is a prime example of this. People who think Michael sinned against them are casting a stone in judgement of Michael. They are denying their own addictions.

  • It's not something he "went through" or something that "happened to him." It was a conscious decision.

  • Thank you Michael for being a friend.

  • My bible says that confess ur sins one to another, if you have wronged them, but when the sin is against the temple, yourself, confess in secrecy unto the Lord, who sees what happens in darkness and knows the hearts of men. We should not bare ourselves to the wolves, for we have alot of us in the churches, christian radio/bookstores. Just take to the Lord, and Him alone.

  • Wonderful testimony! I was blessed by the book and CD by Michael English called "The Prodigal Comes Home".

  • GOD BLESS you Michael !!

    Keep strong in Christ Michael, and you will stay strong in life.

  • oh yeah, i know a little about this. i want to read his book

  • Thank God for the Valleys, where we can be found of God.

  • I struggled through addiction,and I had walked with the Lord on and off.Than I had a daughter and I relized that I had to raise my daughter in the way the Lord wanted me too.I thank God for the prayers of my family and I thank God that he delivered me from the hands of the enemy,that just wanted to destroy me.Thank You Lord,for the freedom I found in you.

  • love you michael, God loves u:)

  • Sad thing is that the biggest weakness in the Christian community is to actually forgive someone who go out in the open about their sins. It's as if it's better to hide your sins than coming out to be healed - really sad. Christians should realized that the reason they were forgiven is to exercise the same mercy to those who will need it

  • Truer words were never spoken. Bless you friend.

  • Michael is the greatest.

  • thank you for posting this, I needed it

  • It amazes me that Christian radio stations stopped playing his music and Christian book stores stopped selling his albums because of his what he did, and what happened in his life. Yet there are others, that have done similar things, that are still played on so called Christian radio stations and their music is still sold in so called Christian stores...

    That is Hypocrisy!

  • Yea I thought that was awful. He asked for forgiveness publicly and yet fellow Christians turned him away. His music is beautiful and ministers to many. They did it to Amy Grant too.

  • its not hypocrisy..its called settin an example. it was a public sin.u also hav to consider dat dis cud also b a stumbling block for other ppl 2..if u get wat i mean. yes ppl fall cuz we are human. its jus like wen moses i think wasnt allowed into d promised land cuz he struck d rock cuz he was angry. so d radio stations were jus settin an example. u may agree or disagree..its my opinion. thnk God he repented. daz wat it comes down 2. if dey choose to resume playin his music..daz wat dey do

  • this is so touching. God bless you Michael!

  • LOVE Gary Oliver....get his cd's he rocks

  • There is nothing that our God will not do for us. He loves us, cares for us, He wants to lead us through a victorious life. He wants to show us we don't have to do this on our own. My God. Michael, I pray that you continue to grow closer and closer to God. I don't know if he will see this, but Michael, Psalm 51:17. God bless you.

  • This is the okness of being real . We all need it sometimes . I love it It makes me cry

  • Sometimes we have to go to--be in the valley; to find Jesus. It's in the valley that I found Jesus. May you be Blessed.

  • amen!

  • What happened to Michael English im lost? He is till my favorite GVB singer no matter what!!

  • Yes Michael; In Christ Alone. You have blessed my life for years,I love you! I thank God for you music and your heart of love. No songs or singers stir my heart like you. What a blessing you are. Your story gives me renewed hope for my son and others walking through that dark place in life. Our Father is still the deliverer!! Thank you for sharing your heart! May HE continue to bless you!

  • God loves you Michael! thanks for sharing your story...i'm blessed by your life!

  • Jesus Christ is the foundation,strength,Light, and the way! Addiction is nothing to Jesus Christ the word is not in his vocabulary.What good is it to sit in a N/A Meeting surrounded by those that condone Anti Christ Faith, Adultry,Fornication for a cure.Your avenue to recovery is the only way through our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.Sincerely David Lee Laskiewicz decendant of Lillian Gaither

  • We love you Michael!!

  • he needs Vestal Goodman back in his life

  • ... or maybe just Michael and Jesus?  What a remarkable guy! Proof that in-Christ, no man or woman is defined by their sin, but His all-encompassing righteousness. It is the scandal of Grace.

    We want the goodies from the past. God rejoices in a future without limits!

  • Vestel was in his life but she is dead. They loved each other but the love between him and Vestel wasn't going to solve his problem but it was the love between him and Jesus,

  • I saw Michael in concert last night, and he cried. It just broke my heart. I never knew Michael because I wasn't alive when the scandal and stuff happened. Very shortly, I have learned to love this amazing man. "You're looking at a child forgiven. You're looking at a soul set free. You're looking at a pardoned prisoner who's walking now in liberty."

  • It is important to stay right with God, because of all that is going on in the world. We COULD all be leaving within the next few years, IF everything stays set up right.

    The Bilderbergs are going to meet this april or may and talk about a new world order(666). If everything stays set up right, we just might be leaving within the next few few years.

  • Very touching, so glad that God has the power to deliver not only from sin, but from drugs or whatever has a person bound.

  • Isn't it just so amazing that God is willing to meet you where you are in life? Man...

  • Beautiful testimony! God says that if we will call upon Him from the depths of our heart...He will hear us & will be there for us.

    I throw myself at the foot of the cross & cry COME LORD JESUS....COME SOON!

  • Our God is coming within the next few years.......Needless to say.

  • I asked My God for a rapture dream the other night(3-23-09). I get tired of not knowing when he is coming. It is true we will not know the hour/day but we WILL KNOW when it is near. But anyway, I asked God and I said VERY SPECIFICALLY.....IF YOU ARE TRULY COMING WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, AND IF I (MYSELF) WILL SEE THE RAPTURE then and ONLY THEN give me a DREAM/VISION sometime. Needless to say I WAS NOT EXPECTING GOD to respond THAT VERY NIGHT if ever.

    HE DID RESPOND GAVE ME A DREAM!

  • just know that the rapture is not a secret..."EVERY eye shall see Him." Pls read I Thessalonians 4:13-18, too. Thanx...Praise God for Michael's testimony.

  • What a cool dream!

  • thats right michael is a champion and blessed.

  • i love the good news of our lord JESUS CHRIST

  • ~ testimony~

    My pastor had a vision while he was awake on his bed. His ceiling opened up. He was shown Heaven. He saw Christ himself. He asked Christ just when are you coming? Christ responded and said "I am coming soon"

    My pastor heard a noise in heaven when he was asking the question. He asked JESUS what it was?....Christ responded and said~ "THAT NOISE YOU HEAR IS MY ANGELS WARMING UP THEIR WINGS GETTING READY FOR..........

    THE RAPTURE OF GODS CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!

  • How long ago did this happenr?

  • omg.........im crying a pool of tears.

  • sob.........o my!

  • "Thou wilt not leave my soul in Hell...."

    Jesus, Thank u for Your Redemptive power!

    Jesus delights to hear our cry, when we come to the end & say "I can't!"....then He is free to work in us.

    Turn it ALL over to Him, He is larger than our burdens! Praise You, Jesus!

  • yeah he was able to overcome it, praise God!

  • Faith can MOVE Mountains.

  • At the foot of the Cross the ground is level. We are all sinners. My prayer is that the Church will eventually wake up to the plague of self-righteousness and find that the greatest testimonies and victories....only come with the grace and mercy of Our Precious Savior.

  • Very great change, Thanks michael English and thank god in heaven

  • I saw this the night it was taped. And I've watched this clip about 30 times. I'm going through the identical same thing, and I do not have the strength either. Thank you, Mike, for pointing the way to Jesus.  And thank you, hoover4000, for posting this life-changing video.

  • I have a friend at work who has gone through this. He's been clean for 2 years now. May God bless you in the days ahead and remember as the Crabb Family sings "He'll (God) will take you "Through the Fire" again". Just remember that God will always be there for you and He'll see you through.

  • Today, I'm dealing with some deep and personal troubles in my own life...today, all I have the strength for is to go to my room and say "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil". Thank you Michael for your testimony. You are an inspiration to so very many. And thank you Hoover4000 for posting this video. Your youtube posts are a lifechanging ministry.

  • Beauty for Ashes! What a beautiful testimony!

    WOW! God is so good! PRAISE JESUS!

  • thanks for posting this.

    "I heard God's voice, and I know He's not going to leave me here"...Amazing grace!

  • Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

  • what happened to him

  • Michael English had problems with drug addiction.

  • Oh...my....goodness. Thank you so much for posting this. I haven't seen any recent interviews of Michael. I read his book but it is far more emotional to hear him in person. I just can't stop thanking God for getting Michael through everything, and thanks to Michael too, for hanging on. I will see him soon in concert and I'm looking forward to it SO MUCH! It will be the first time since 1993.

  • i was moving into my dorm when i saw this. it was hard to concentrate.

    amazing.

  • this reminds me of what Todd bently is gong through right now , people really put Micheal down and really hurt him with words ! they same way that they are saying bad things about Todd Bently , People really need to start lifting people up inprayer rather then rip them apart for what they do wrong we all fall short ! this was awsome to see

  • I agree with you 100%! We've all got something and to critize another is totally hypocritical. We need to be Christ-like and lend a helping hand/prayer.

  • AMEN!!

  • This touch me so deep today. I think we all fight our own addictions everyday and hearing him tell how God is bringing him out of this really encouraged me. God IS faithful and we are all gonna make it. Thank you so much hoover4000 for posting it here. GBU! Hugs, Amy

  • Great testimony how God uses a simple man to accomplish something great in his life. Also, you have misspelled name "Michael" in your heading.

  • I didn't get to see all of this interview, thanks for posting.

  • Sooooooooo, heart-warming! Praise god!

  • Michael you Bless my heart...

  • I've always enjoyed Michael's music and he has a strong testimony to share. I'm glad I came across this video today.

  • Thanks for posting. I watched it this night at 2am, couldn't sleep and was looking for something uplifting.

  • Thank you so very much for posting this. I was channel surfing the other night and came across this interview. WOW!

    Thanks,

    Snoopy

  • Vraiment touchant comme entrevue Hoover. Je connais Michael depuis le début de ma vie chrétienne et le voir pleuré de joie, de voir que Dieu la sauvé de son épruve wow. I'm overwhelme

  • thank you for putting this video on.

  • What an amazing interview. I went to TBN and listened to the whole thing. I knew of some failures but didn't know of the addiction. I think it is amazing how God can use the brokeness of people's lives to touch others just like Michael is being open and honest so others can be helped. Thanks for the post.

  • Wow! That was really an act of God's Grace. Amen. nad thank you for posting.

  • this really shows how powerful the God we serve really is. we all fall down...but a saint is just a sinner who fell down, and got up. beautiful!

  • All glory to God! I'm so glad Michael English is part of the GVB Homecoming Family.
