God Provides for New Tires

I was coming home from Denver on Sunday morning and I decided to stop by Resurrection Fellowship in Loveland to meet some people I knew in church. While I was there I was approached by a complete stranger who came up to me and starting to ask me questions. He asked, “Do you have a ministry where you drive around a lot rescuing people from gangs and on the highways.”

I said, “Yes I do”

God told me to withdraw $800 from my checking account. I asked God, “What is this for?”

God said, “I will tell you at the proper moment.”

While I was there in church God showed me you standing over there with your GodOverGangs t-shirts. God said, “Take the money and give it to him. ”

The story behind this is:  I have been praying to get a new set of tires for my pickup. My Ministry causes me to put many miles on my tires and they were getting in a situation where they needed to be replaced. My God knew that I needed new tires and he listened to my prayer. Sometimes I feel like asking “Why God are you waiting so long? I should replace my tires now.”

But God always knows the right time to do things.  He continues to test us to see if we really trust him.  God, my king, is faithful.

I am not at my goal yet but my God we’ll make sure it happens.

GOD Wakes Me to Save Peter

On Sunday night I was fast asleep. About 11 p.m. God woke me up and said, “You need to get up and head south. “

I was questioning what God wanted me to do but God again said, “You need to get going. A guy named Peter is going to jump off a bridge. You need to get going right now. “

I was again questioning God because he did not give me the answer to which overpass  because there’s are lot of overpasses in Denver. But I should know  by now that God will always give me the location as I’m driving.  I just started heading south and waiting for him to tell me where to go.  As I was driving down  towards Denver  I noticed my fuel tank gauge was getting close to empty .  God said, “Don’t worry about your fuel just continue driving  towards Denver.”

During my drive to Denver  I encountered two automobile accidents  on the route down that slowed the traffic down. I continue driving the speed limit for almost an hour and 45 minutes till I got to near where the intersection of I-25 and C470 where God showed me a car sitting all on the right side of the road. This is where I was told to stop and I parked behind this car. I then proceeded out of my pickup and walked past the car. As I was walking by the car I placed my hand on the hood and noticed that’s the engine was still very warm. So I knew he had not been here very long. I continued walking up the ramp  to the top of the overpass. I noticed a guy standing near the bridge. I said, “Peter what are you thinking about?”

He responded by asking, “Who are you and what are you doing here.”

I said, “My King told me to tell you that he loves you and not to jump.”

Peter looked at me and was perplexed by how I knew his name and what he was about to do. Peter said, “Your king! Who is your king.”

I said , “My king is Jesus Christ. He sent me from Loveland to rescue you from jumping because he loves you very much.  He told me to drive south and I would find you here.”

Peter was part of a gang a couple of years ago and he’s been trying to go to school and make something of his life. But he felt that his life is inadequate and just wanted to end it all. I told him, “Peter, God has a purpose for your life. “

Peter started to cry when he realized  that  God had sent me here  just to tell him that God loved him. He came over and hugged me and continued crying. I told him about my ministry that God gave me to witness about Jesus Christ with gangs. He talked about gangs that he was in and was asking me questions about whether I had a chance to witness to those gangs. While this was going on his folks we’re worried because it was so late and he still hadn’t come home. They followed his route he normally takes home and  came up on his car shortly after I got there.

Peter told his folks how God had shown me who he was and what he was about to do and how I drove here from Loveland just to share God love with me and what God wants to do in my life.

Peter was grateful that I came and in fact he couldn’t even believe that he was about to jump off that overpass. The enemy Satan wants to destroy our lives and wants us to end it all. Only God’s love and Power can overcome the enemy.

On A final note, you may be asking the question why did God not get somebody else closer to Peter then to ask me to come down to Denver. I asked God the same question and God’s response was, ” Sonny I chose you to represent me to the gangs. That is the reason why you went down because you are  my representative. “

I didn’t ask any more questions after that.

Praying for a Violent Park

I was witnessing to the gangs in an area near the park where the young 16 year old teenager was killed by gunfire. God said, “Go over the to that Park and  walk around it seven times  praying for the park. There is too much violence in this park and we need to make it safe.”

I was walking around the park perimeter and I would anoint oil on certain places and trees where God told me to.  I kept praying while I was going around the park. It was a beautiful day and I was the only one there at the park because of the fear everyone had of being shot. I had some police officer stop me. One officer asked,  “What are you doing?”

I said, “God told me to pray for the park.”

The officer replied, “It’s not safe to be here.  You could be shot.”

I said, “When my God tells me to do something,  he will protect me from any harm. I am going to do what my God tells me to do.”

The police officer asked, “Could we also walk around the park with you?”

I said, “If you do, we are not going to talk or discuss anything. We are going to pray as we continue walking around the park perimeter.”

The police officer said, “That’s okay. We will we will pray with you.”

We continue the last 3 laps around the park praying for various things and for protection for the people who come to the park. The police officers continued to pray along with me. After I finished the seven laps praying, the police officer said, “You know we pray for our meals, for our families; but we have never physically seriously prayed this long for anything such as this park.”

It was also a growing experience for the police officers. I am sure that it is going to change their lives forever.

Later, when I went to the park in a few weeks I noticed that there was a lot of people enjoying the park again. The power of Prayer can be blessing and change the world.

 

Witnessing to Prostitutes

Last Friday night I went to witness to some high class prostitutes. They were working at a building in down town Denver where there was a men’s convention. Of the 14 young women there, seven gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. I know the undercover police working as a security guard in that building. He took me to the room where the young women were waiting. I introduced myself to them. One of the young women recognized me and said, “Your the one that told us about Jesus Christ last summer.  I’m tired of doing this and want a new life and a new purpose.”

As she came forward, six more came with her to ask Jesus Christ to forgive them of their sins. The accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We went out the back door and the young women got in my pickup and drove away. All their families took them back home. My king gets all the glory and the victory.
