The Power of Testimony: One Man's Journey from the Occult to Salvation in Jesus Christ
Testimonies of faith have the power to inspire, convict, and spur spiritual growth. In this accompanying blog post for the Coffee with Conrad podcast episode featuring Thomas Dabney Tannehill's powerful testimony, we'll explore key themes surrounding his journey from occult practices and drug addiction to experiencing new life in Christ.
Here is the original Facebook Live
Dabbling in the Occult Opens Doors to Darkness
Like many young people, Thomas was exposed to occult practices like using Ouija boards and tarot cards from a young age. Little did he know the dangers of opening doorways to the demonic realm. The occult should be avoided by believers, as it gives the enemy a foothold (Eph. 4:27). Thomas also experienced poltergeist activity in his home growing up.
Drug Use Leads Down Destructive Paths
Down the road, Thomas' involvement in Eastern religious practices, psychedelic drugs, and rock music sent his life into a tailspin. He had demonic encounters telling him to worship Satan while high on LSD. Drug use leads to addiction, poor choices, and dangerous consequences. Seeking enlightenment or spirituality through substance abuse can open people up to darker forces.
Crying Out for Help in Your Darkest Hour
After a terrifying drug trip where Thomas saw his body convulsing and hordes of demons, he cried out to God for mercy. Though far from God, Thomas retained a flicker of faith from his religious upbringing. God hears our prayers even at our worst moments. When all seems lost, He provides hope.
Christian Fellowship Helps Restore the Lost
Just when he thought he was alone, Thomas encountered his old friend Mickey sharing the gospel. This divine appointment led to Mickey mentoring Thomas in his newfound faith, discipling him in God's Word, and providing a community of belief. Surrounding ourselves with strong believers helps us grow.
The Holy Spirit Illuminates Scripture
As Thomas read the Bible, its truths came alive by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Mere intellectual study is not enough. When we invite the Spirit to teach us, the Word transforms us. The Bible is the Spirit's sword (Eph. 6:17) to cut through lies and point us to godly living.
True Repentance Leads to Lasting Change
After failed attempts to clean up his own life, Thomas fully surrendered his heart and will to Christ. This repentance led to supernatural freedom as he turned from darkness and embraced the light. When we submit ourselves to God, He breaks sin's power. Our old self dies, and we become new creations in Him (2 Cor. 5:17).
The Journey May Be Slow But Progress Comes
Though saved, Thomas still stumbled at times on his spiritual walk. Sanctification is a process. The righteousness of Christ is gifted to believers, but living it out takes time. Thomas discovered the joys of forgiveness and getting back on the right path when he faltered. God's grace sustains us.
Testimonies Build Faith and Give Hope
By generously sharing his story, Thomas inspires us to cling to Jesus above all else and reach out into the darkness with Christ's love. Our testimonies matter―they build faith, give hope, and point others to the One who can set them free.
have captivated audiences for centuries. These simple yet profound stories are packed with spiritual wisdom and revelation. In this podcast episode, we explore how pondering the parables can unlock hidden insights to transform your spiritual walk.
Jesus used parables for several key reasons.
The vivid imagery grabs people's attention and draws them into the narrative. Parables connect on an emotional level, making complex concepts relatable. They provoke deeper reflection as Jesus challenged societal norms. Most importantly, parables are accessible to all, regardless of background. The stories resonate across culture, education level, and time.
A major benefit of parables is that they stick with you. Even if you only recall the essence, that seed can sprout revelation. Pondering parables while away from your Bible allows you to approach them with fresh eyes. Without preconceived notions, you're free to explore the truths from new angles. This is when the Spirit rushes in, bringing sudden clarity and congruent understanding.
As you meditate on parables, they become a mirror. You see yourself reflected in the stories, which challenges your beliefs and values. This introspection is key, but parables must align with scriptural truths. They complement the Word, offering perspectives on eternal truths. With the Word as your foundation, the Spirit has ample ammunition to guide you into deeper revelation.
When you abide in the Word, you recognize Jesus' voice through the Spirit's guidance. This transforms you, as pondering the parables renews your mind. If you want to ignite your faith, listen to this podcast and start unlocking the hidden treasures within Christ's profound parables.
