Nick Shakoour, who inspired millions through his portrayal of Zebedee in “The Chosen,” openly shares his incredible journey of faith.
Shakoour told CBN News that his new book, “Transformer: Awakening from A Spiritual Com Come – Nick Shakoour autobiography” – detailing the path from darkness to Christianity” is “Respect for God.”
The text sums up his personal story and addresses everything from Shakoa, who emigrates from Lebanon to America, to his radical encounter with Jesus.
Shakor, who came after his encounter with Christ began working on “chosen” and shared the details behind what unfolded, explaining how his new Christian friend led him on a real walk with the Lord during filming.
“I always said ‘The Chosen’ was the conduit God took me to Texas,” he said. “Look, I didn’t think it would lead to a synodal invitation with a friend I started making with the construction crew, and I have friends outside of the production.”
Shakoour continued, “I started running with all these, I believe, circles of followers. So it merged with the encounter of the Holy Spirit. But as I was talking about the book, I had to make a lot of things happen.”
The actor explains in “Trans: Spiritual Coma, Awakening from Nick Shakoa’s Autobiography,” but perhaps the most eye-catching encounter with the Lord is his radical encounter.
“It happened after the church meeting was over,” Shakoa said. “We were in an empty arena. It was me alone, almost nine people praying for me.”
The moment came at a critical time in Shakoa’s life as the actor admitted to reaching the “climax of not understanding the points of life.” He hadn’t committed suicide, but he was struggling deeply and knew he needed something more.
“For some reason, I was thirsty to know who God really was,” he said. “I was tired of people telling me to mention the Bible.”
The Bible was beginning to talk to him at the time, but Shakoua still had questions.

“(I) If this is true, where is God? Where is he?” he recalled. “On the way to the meeting, I actually had something physically concrete, and I think I could call it a low-energy demonic attack.
Shakor said he was terrified by the time he arrived at the meeting, “it was completely broken, disarmed and desperate.” He said that after the meeting he didn’t know where life was heading, but ended up remaining completely transformed.
“Okay, are they coming in? They’re going to pray on me. Great. Good luck,” he said. “And the next thing I knew was when they were putting their hands on me and praying for something called speaking in tongues, all I knew was what happened on the cellular level, my cells started to vibrate and it seemed like I was in the massage chair.
Shakoour continued. “My outside forces were bigger, bigger and bigger, bigger, as my body was almost shaking.
He believes he is experiencing the existence of God at that moment, and explains the profound impact that the trial has had on his body while the group continues to pray with his hands on him. Shakor believes that was the moment he received the Holy Spirit.
Initially, he was confused.
“I said, ‘Yeah, but I thought it happened when my grandfather baptized me,'” he said. “And the interchesser there said, ‘Well, when your grandfather baptized you, it might have been resting on you, but he’s resting inside you.” ”
Shakor asked whether the experiences he had experienced were “very enthralled with Jesus” by many of the people who prayed over him. He now understood the power before Christ.
“It really changed everything,” he said.
He says, “Trans: Spiritual Coma, Awakening from Nick Shakourl Autobiography” – a book written in the spirit and excitement of a comic book – hopes to inspire people to take a deeper look at his journey and discover the powers they can primarily find.
