It is Friday evening and as usual I meet with the undercover police. One of their biggest concerns is for the people fighting all the wildfires here in Colorado. They wanted to pray for the safety of the fire fighters and for the families of those involved. All my Bible studies this week have involved praying for the firefighters. They all made the request to me to do this. Of course moisture in the mountains is a must in our prayers. This would really help out our firefighters.
After finishing up with the undercover police, I rescued five girls out of a gang and brought them back to their families. After seeing the transformation of their daughters, all their families gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory.
Saturday morning, my King had me rescue five more women from an organization. I also brought them back to their families who all met at one home. I prayed for all of them after the girls greeted their parents. My King then directed me to focus on two gangs. One of them I know but the other one I don’t know. My King had me get tacos for them to eat. They pushed me around at first but when they found out that I was going to feed them tacos they stopped. Today they were very interested in eating because they were hungry. They left me alone except for one guy in the gang that I have met before. He said, “I do not want to hear you say anything about Jesus Christ.” He continued to push me around. His leader sternly said, “Hey, knock it off. Leave Sonny alone. He wants to feed us. He can talk about Jesus.” The guy left the scene for a while and walked around for a few minutes. He then came back towards me with a lit cigarette in his hand. He walked right up to me and stuck the cigarette right on my lip while I was reading the gospel to the gang. It did hurt but I continued reading. The leader was extremely upset with the guy. He ordered his men to grab the guy and tie him up. His men proceeded to haul him off. I’m not sure what they did with him but he was not welcome here in the gang anymore.
Eight guys from the first Gang and four guys from the second gang gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory
It is now late afternoon and I’m going to witness to another Gang that just showed up here at the park. As I was ready to finish this story the guy who burned me called. He said, “I have been thinking about what you said and I need a new direction in my life and Jesus Christ to become part of it. I hope that you can forgive me for burning you with that cigarette like I did.”
I replied, “I forgave you the day you burned me with it. My King has forgiven me for the bad things I have done. He has taught how important it is to love and forgive others. ” I prayed for him as he accepted Jesus Christ. He wanted to go home and asked me if I could take him there. I acknowledged that I would. When we got there with his family, I prayed with them too. My King gets the Glory and the Victory.
At the end of the day, the Latinos call me. They witnessed a police officer getting beaten up by a gang from Mexico. He said, “Normally, if we see someone getting beaten up, we keep on driving. But we have too much respect for our law enforcement officers. So we stopped and got out of our cars. We immediately beat the Mexican gang up bad because of their action. When the cops did eventually arrived, they wanted me to give a statement. I said I don’t do statements and I left.” I always wondered how the Latinos handle themselves so well. I found out that most of them are Golden Glove boxers.
