About 7 years ago, I had an ayahuasca experience where I was told I would die in a year's time. It felt like truth, and I was devastated.

My life started falling apart. All my hopes and dreams were crushed. I was crushed. I had nowhere to turn.

I had been in chronic pain for twenty years, and one tragic event after another kept knocking me down.

I'm an extremely stubborn and resilient guy. But I hit my breaking point. I just about shot myself. It was a terrifying experience.

Then I suddenly had this urge to try something radically different. I had never tried praying to Christ.

I through it all on the table. I prayed for hours at a time, every day. I took away all distractions and just sat in prayer, day in and day out.

I faced some hard truths I had been running from for a long time. Truths that had been too heavy to face. But I couldn't run anymore. I just sat with it. It was so painful. I was broken. My life was broken. I was alone with no hope.

GOD HEARD MY PRAYERS. I was a non believer before that. But I know, without a doubt, He heard me and He answered my prayers.

He reached into my life and began to radically transform me. He opened my eyes to a level of truth that I wasn't aware existed. I had always been a seeker of truth, but I was blind to the truth of God, and Jesus Christ.

Five short years later, my life is so full of joy and blessings. I've received more than I could have ever imagined. I have found true freedom. Words will only fall short in attempting to describe to you what God has done for me and through me.

I can attest, that the claims of scripture, that the kingdom of God is worth more than all the silver and gold (and Bitcoin) , is in fact true.

If you don't yet know Christ and the Father of all creation, I implore you to seek Him with all of your heart. All else will only fall short. You will never find true lasting contentment outside of Christ Jesus.

I did die a year after that terrifying day. It just wasn't what I expected. I died and was raised up again in Christ Jesus, through baptism . A new man. A new creation. A new life.

To God be the glory. I pray that all who don't know Him, and the power and depth of His love, would experience the true freedom that comes to you when you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior.

If He was willing and able to redeem a life such as mine, I assure you that He will do the same for anyone of you. Humble yourself and pray that He would come into your life.

Also I can help but wonder: have you returned to ayahuasca since the first experience?

I consumed ayahuasca 7 times in total. Once Christ came into my life, I stopped talking psychedelics all together (after twenty years of occasional use) . I have no need or desire anymore. Not to say that couldn't change in the future.

One of the first times I took it, I had a group of flying beings come to me and scan my soul. They reached some kind of consensus, then planted this glowing, pulsating white orb type thing in the center of my being and told me to guard it with my life.

I know believe that they were angels, and the pure, whit pulsating light was in fact the Holy Spirit. It was after this experience that my eyes started to open to Christ.

I was a heathen. A sinner, through and through. Very little previous knowledge of Christ or the gospel. I thought Christianity was a form of control and completely made up.

I could have never imagined becoming a Christian, let alone having a burning desire to lead others to Christ.

Beautiful! ๐Ÿงก

The reason I asked is because when we were in Peru and visited some curanderos there, I was actually surprised how much Christianity was interwoven into many of the ceremonies there. Many people treat it like church, attending every week, just like taking the sacrament.
