It is an absolute honor for me and Julia to be able to be part of the efforts to bring the revelations and teachings of Dr. Brian Adams to Brazil

On January 9th, 2021 I was in the upper room of the Rock Parkersburg tagging along with my cousin Daniel Busch while he did some video work on a teaching series that Dr. Brian was working on.

It turns out someone had forgotten a cord to connect the lapel microphone to the camera and they decided to hold off recording until the next day. While the equipment was being packed up, Dr. Brian looked at me and asked “You in any pain?”

I responded that I had some shoulder and knee pain- what I didn’t say was that one year earlier I had torn my rotator cuff and dislocated my shoulder. It took the doctors 6 months to set my shoulder in place and by that time it was too late for my shoulder to correctly heal without surgery.

I had also gotten into a drunken wrestling match a few months earlier and tore some tendons in my knee. Another injury that was needing surgery, but I had kind of just accepted that I would always have that pain and wouldn’t ever be physically active again.

Aside from the constant physical pain, I was drinking a bottle of vodka per day while taking benzodiazepines, oxy contin and morphine.

My toe nails were falling off, i was urinating blood, every time before going on a bender, I assumed that it would be my last one. I was entering the dangerous favela (slums) at night here in Brazil and staying until 2 or 3 in the morning playing pool.

I had been held at gun point multiple times, robbed and one particular night I was almost strangled to death because I was attacked outside my apartment while the thieves went through my apartment. Luckily my neighbor was a cop and came down with his weapon drawn.

I had reached a point in my life where I wanted to be okay, but I couldn’t. I hated myself. Everything I touched broke. Everybody I touched broke. I was package of destruction and was ready for the end.

BUT GOD!

Dr. Brian sat me down across from him and asked me to raise my hands to the Father. He had me repeat a prayer of confession and then I heard the words “I forgive me” Before the word “me” left my mouth, I remember feeling a violent shaking in my neck. Tears began to flow..began to POUR…and for a few moments, I don’t know where I was…but I wasn’t in that room.

I don’t know how long that moment lasted, but when I came back to reality, I was on the floor.

I remember hearing Dr. Brian say “do a pushup”, something that had been impossible for the last year without feeling intense pain…but I tried…and NO PAIN!

I stood up and did a squat…no pain. I marched…no PAIN!

It was all gone…and not just the physical pain…but the roots of the addiction. The roots of the emotional pain. The roots of it all!

I had an encounter with Jesus that day. 31 years old and I had read about God, talked to God, but I had never met the Son.

I’m just one of the fruits of Dr. Brian Adams. He travels all over the world into countries most of us would never desire to enter into as a Christian to preach the good news of Christ. And it is a pleasure to bring these methods into the Nation of Brazil!
