I toured with Sublime and the Devil offered me a Deal - Chris Hick's Testimony
What Researchers Found
The Story
Chris was a successful drummer facing severe depression and contemplating suicide after a life of abuse and unfulfilled dreams in music. The trigger was his desperate prayer to God for truth about who He is, leading to a powerful dream. In the dream, Chris drove through a desert storm with a friend but turned back, seeing thousands of white doves form a massive cross in the sky. He merged with the cross, feeling millions of volts of loving electricity and visions of Jesus' crucifixion, including blood and light pouring out. He saw lifeless, dazzling crosses representing false religions, then a pigeon attacked his hands as God's voice said 'Believe,' bringing him to his knees. He appeared in a village urging his best friend to believe in Jesus, who rejected him. After waking, Chris became a committed Christian. He quit drugs and rock music, underwent inner healing and deliverance, and started a ministry focused on inner healing and evangelism, traveling the world to spread the gospel.
