Content advisory

Before you watch

This testimony contains graphic descriptions of childhood physical abuse, drug addiction, cocaine debt to dangerous criminals, a suicide attempt, and extended demonic deliverance in a field at 1am. What makes it worth watching is the specificity of the transformation — every bondage named is also named as broken, and the man telling the story is now a street preacher sent to the darkest city in the UK.

What this story teaches

People who are running hardest from God are often the ones he is pursuing most deliberately — and the very things they use to escape pain can become the moment he breaks through.

How God moved

Go Deeper

The Lord Jesus can do a mighty work in your life just as he did to me. If you see what he's done to me and everything that I went through in my past and how he called me out of the darkness, he can really do the same to you. So any person here who's watching and this has touched you — those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Now, if you haven't given your life to the Lord Jesus, now's the time, guys. And if you are walking with the Lord, but you might have backslidden, now's the time to start taking your walk seriously because I'm nothing special. I'm just somebody who's surrendered to the will of God for my life. And he's used my life and changed it around in the space of a couple of years. He just wants you to give him everything. Give him your heart.

Progressive entrapment

Started with weed at 15, immediately hooked. Escalated to dealing, then ecstasy, MDMA, magic mushrooms at raves, then cocaine, Valium mixed with alcohol — each substance deeper than the last. 'The deeper you go into this life on the roads, the more money you can make, but the darker it gets.'

Generational demon

During deliverance Ollie identified generational demons and generational witchcraft as part of what needed to be cast out. 'I had multiple doors — generational demons, generational witchcraft, all sorts.'

Counterfeit spirituality

Ollie used magic mushrooms, DMT, astral projection, and meditation from age 16 to access the spirit realm. 'These things open you up to darkness though. They open up to demons, but they do give you access to the spirit realm. And I was fascinated by this.' He was searching for God through demonic portals.

Family weaponisation

Every time Ollie tried to pray and take God seriously, one specific friend would immediately message or call: 'Hey bro, come on. We're going out tonight, money's on me.' Ollie recognised this pattern: 'Something is out there trying to stop me truly seeking the Lord properly. Every time I'm telling myself I'm going to truly take this seriously, this guy just pops up out of nowhere.'

Core lie

Childhood abuse and father abandonment created a wound of rejection that drove Ollie to seek attention, acceptance, and identity through crime, money, and street reputation. 'That abuse, that rejection was inside of me and it was manifesting in the way that I was behaving to people outside.'

Spirit of death

Ollie attempted suicide by overdosing on paracetamol while in the world. 'I tried to overdose on paracetamol. I tried to just take a load. Literally, I ate like a whole thing and I passed out and I woke up absolutely fine. That was a miracle from the Lord.' Spirit of death was also named and cast out in the deliverance session.

Spirit of fear

Ollie lived in constant paranoia — memorising undercover police number plates, sleeping with weapons, suspecting his own mother of working with police, unable to sleep without swords by his bed. 'I had absolutely no peace during that life.' Fear was also named and cast out in deliverance.

1

I said God if you're out there and I know you are. You need to help me now. Stop these people coming for me.

2

We're not robbing anybody. I'm not doing anything. I think I met God last night and everything is going to be okay.

3

I accepted that I was an alcoholic. I'd accepted that I was a sniffhead. I accepted that I was a mess and I couldn't live this life. And I knew I needed help.

4

I put this thing on and I said, 'Jesus, you need to take this out of me, please.' And guys, I'll be real. This demon was coming out of me. These demons were coming out screaming, roaring. I'm in the middle of a field looking like a nut job.

5

I had to repent of all this stuff — a lot of repentance. I had to go through everything and I had to repent and say like, you know, and really really repent of this like these things. Witchcraft, spirits of death, murder, spirits of addiction, rejection, fear, all sorts.

6

I had a long deliverance session. It was going on for hours pretty much — witchcraft, spirits of death, murder, spirits of addiction, rejection, fear, all sorts.

7

The next day I got baptized in water. I came back a completely different man. Everybody around me saw something has happened to Ollie because I've been filled with the Holy Spirit.

8

I said, 'Guys, I'll be real. I was involved with drug dealing. I was a bad guy, and recently I became a born again Christian, gave my life to Jesus, and he's changed my life. I'm a new man. And what you see on that piece of paper is not who I am now. That guy's in the past.'

9

I handed him my notice to the work and I said, 'Lord, okay, you know, I'm going to do what you want me to do. I'm going to preach.'

Proverbs

The book Ollie was reading when the words appeared to glow off the phone — the moment of his encounter with God.

Acts 2

Ollie received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues just as the apostles did in Acts 2.

Matthew 28:19–20

The Great Commission — Ollie cited this when his bosses told him to stop handing out gospel tracts at work.

Acts 9:1–9

Paul's Damascus road conversion — reading this passage was when the Lord told Ollie to go to Brighton.

John 14:6

Ollie saw a sticker saying 'Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life' on the door of his future landlady — confirming God's provision.

Romans 10:9–13

Ollie quotes this directly when calling viewers to salvation — confess with your mouth, believe in your heart, call upon the name of the Lord.

Ollie explicitly identifies with Paul — reading Acts 9 was the moment God told him to go to Brighton, just as Paul was told to go into the city.

Ollie spent his inheritance on riotous living, hit rock bottom in debt and addiction, then returned and was restored to purpose and calling.

A man described as spiritually dead — addicted, violent, demonised — breathed on by the Spirit and raised to become a preacher of life.

Ollie explicitly received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues just as the apostles did in Acts 2, confirmed by video evidence.

Ollie's Christian Walk

Freed from daily alcohol dependence and cocaine addiction; cleared thousands of pounds of drug debt through legitimate work; stopped drug dealing and all criminal activity; pornography and fornication ended; cigarettes and weed stopped; got and kept legitimate employment; baptized a former colleague; built a world street-preaching ministry within 3.5 years of baptism.

I came back a completely different man. Everybody around me saw something has happened to Ollie.

alcohol addiction — 'I don't want to drink anymore. And at that moment, I realized that I was free from the addiction to alcohol, delivered completely.' Also: the desire for cocaine and drugs — 'the dependence upon the alcohol, the dependence upon the coke and the other drugs — everything was broken.'

Set free from the addiction to alcohol — delivered completely. The dependence upon the alcohol, the dependence upon the coke and the other drugs — everything was broken. The Lord knocked off cigarettes, weed fully stopped. Set free from lust and pornography by the grace of God. Delivered from witchcraft, spirits of death, murder, spirits of addiction, rejection, fear — all sorts.

Prayer

The power of Prayer — deliverance minister and discipler stood in the gap for Ollie.

Brother Roy of House of the Lord took Ollie in after he pestered him by email and YouTube comments begging for help. He administered a multi-hour deliverance session, walked Ollie through repentance of every open door, taught him to cast out demons, lay hands on the sick, and evangelise on the streets — true discipleship modelled on Jesus. He also prophetically warned Ollie that following Christ could cost him everything, which Ollie accepted. Brother Philip Blair's online deliverance video was the earlier trigger that first exposed the demonic in Ollie and drove him to seek formal ministry.

Is today your day?

Yes — I'm Ready

Absolutely, He will.

You don't have to figure everything out right now.

You don't need to have all the answers.

If something stirred in your heart while you were watching or reading — that's not nothing.

That is the Holy Spirit gently knocking on the door of your heart.

Stay right here. There's no rush. The Spirit doesn't pressure or hurry.

Watch another video. Read a little more. Take your time.

When you're ready — even if “ready” just means a little curious — Jesus is ready to meet you.

You don't have to clean up your life first.

You don't have to pass any test.

You only need to say a simple “yes” to Him.

He will take care of the rest.

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Luke 11:9

Nia — testimony

Nia

I was a dark-skinned girl who hated herself, always trying to be validated by people around me, living a lifestyle I shouldn't have been living. I changed my eye color, my hair, chased relationships — but I always had a big friend group and felt so empty inside.

Corey — testimony

Corey

I was a 40-time convicted felon who spent 17 years incarcerated — a drug smuggler, thief, and dealer who believed I could never be good enough for God. I always had insecurities, feelings like I was never enough, and I ran from God into every kind of crime and chaos.

Sequoia — testimony

Sequoia

I was a stripper and an escort who hadn't been sober since I was 18. I felt like trash. I was angry, full of shame from childhood violation, and I thought my life had no meaning. I was being trafficked and beaten, and the only way I could do the work was to stay intoxicated.

Sarah — testimony

Sarah

I was a devoted Buddhist raised in strict Buddhism, then turned to Hinduism and witchcraft, praying to many gods across Thailand, India, and Switzerland. I was self-focused, doing everything for myself. I was always searching — from childhood I knew something was missing — but I couldn't find the answer.

Christa — testimony

Christa

I was a shamanic healer and love addict cobbling together an identity from tarot, spirit guides, and relationships with men. I was in pain all the time — like an open canker sore — and I was convinced I was working for the light while I was actually an agent of the enemy.

Yesupadas — testimony

Yesupadas

I was an Untouchable boy treated worse than an animal, a committed communist who made a blood covenant to bring revolution to India. I was drinking, in gangs, cutting people, saw dead bodies — and I was happy doing it because I thought I was taking revenge.

Omar — testimony

Omar

I was a fatherless kid from the projects who adopted a fake identity to hide where I came from. I chased women, cocaine, and alcohol for years trying to fill an emptiness I couldn't name. I had a failed marriage, kids I couldn't raise, and I felt like I was screaming for help from inside a dark cell and nobody could hear me.

Rodney — testimony

Rodney

I was a little Black kid growing up in the streets, no father, looking up to drug dealers and OGs, trying to be the tough guy, the gangster. I was searching for identity, acceptance, and validation in all the wrong places — and I had a temper that could flip on a dime.

“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
