Former MLB superstar Josh Hamilton shared a spiritual experience that he claims guided him to hit a clutch World Series home run in 2011. During an appearance on Fox News’ ‘Will Cain Country,’ Hamilton described how the Holy Spirit told him he was about to hit a home run while he was on deck during the Rangers’ game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This moment, described as a divine intervention, occurred in the 10th inning of Game 6, giving the Rangers a crucial lead in the series.
Hamilton’s spiritual journey began during a period of personal struggle. In 2010, he recounted being high on drugs when his grandmother delivered a message he believed was from God. This encounter, which he described as a turning point, led him to give his life to the Lord and begin a journey of spiritual growth. He cited the Bible verse from James 4:7 as the catalyst for his change, emphasizing humility and resistance to evil as key steps in his transformation.
Hamilton, who had struggled with substance abuse and faced suspensions for violating the drug policy, eventually turned his life around after joining the Rangers in 2007. His rise from a troubled past to an All-Star status marked a significant chapter in his career. However, his journey hasn’t been without challenges, as recent events involving his family have brought new complexities to his life.
