Popular Twitch streamer, Ninja, made a bold declaration for Christ on a recent stream. Tyler Belvins AKA Ninja has over 19 million followers on Twitch, where he recently said on a stream, \u201cJesus is king. Even if you don\u2019t think He is, don\u2019t judge me for it and I won\u2019t judge you for it. I do, I just feel it\u2019s so crazy, man.\u201d He also said he prays every day. Belvins went on to give his philosophy of how to share one\u2019s faith. \u201cThis is just about life, when you\u2019re talking to somebody and you\u2019re having a conversation. That\u2019s an important conversation, right? There\u2019s two sides to it, definitely. When you\u2019re talking to someone, don\u2019t talk to that person to change their mind\u2026You\u2019re just talking to them, right? And if you end up changing their mind, that\u2019s great,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite having such a large platform, Belvins stated he didn\u2019t want to \u201cpush anything\u201d on his followers. \u201cI love you all no matter what. And in the chat, we respect all religions, all people\u2026Someone has no religion? We love everybody, dude.\u201d He admonished his followers to \u201cthe most important thing.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ve just gotta love everybody. And I mean everybody. It\u2019s all about respect and never belittling someone else\u2019s faith, no matter what it is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Belvins also focused on the idea of changing oneself without having to be coerced. \u201cWe don\u2019t need something like the threat of the end of times to start becoming better humans and developing a relationship with the Lord.\u201d He shared that starting the habit of praying every night had definitely given him \u201ca better mindset.\u201d Belvins has talked about his faith in the past, such as in a special Mother\u2019s Day message to his mother in 2019. \u201cYou always taught me that God has a plan, and for that I thank you so much, and I love you so much for that,\u201d he said. He has also spoken about how his mom was encouraged to abort him. \u201cI was not supposed to be born, potentially. A lot of the doctors told my mom that I had spina bifida or Down syndrome or a number of diseases, and that I should be aborted,\u201d he said. He finished his declaration with a note of love to his followers. \u201cI love my life. I’m blessed, I love you guys. I’m blessed to have you guys here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
