Cold Night with the Homeless

After I witnessed to the gangs on this extremely cold Saturday, I headed home to warm up and go to bed. It was 9 pm and I was ready to crash for the night. My King said, “Sonny, I need for you to go back to Denver. My homeless people are cold and hungry and I want you to tell them about me. I want you to take pizza, hot cider and hot chocolate to them.” I have learned that when my KING says go, I go even if it takes me into the cold. I usually get my food in Loveland Colorado but I would have to backtrack. I decided to pick everything up in Denver. When I was about half way there, I received a phone call from the head woman of the undercover police. She said, “Where are you at?”

I replied, “I am here in Denver. My KING wants me to take care of the homeless on this frigid night.”

She then said, “The Holy Spirit had several undercover families make a bunch of food. One family purchased a bunch of pizzas. Another family made hot cider and hot chocolate. Another family was lead to make cookies. We were thinking that it might be for you.”

I said, “Our KING requested that list of those items that the families made.”

She then replied, “Tell Blue Mustang that he can take the night off because we will continue to make whatever you need. By the way, I have dispensing containers that you can use to keep the drinks hot. I just need them back in the morning.” When I arrived at her home she had everything my KING requested there. They gave me other items that the homeless would need. I had grabbed the extra blankets, gloves and sleeping bags at my apartment that I don’t use anymore to give with their things. I then headed to the park where they were camping out. I parked next to a dark tunnel bridge where they were huddled trying to keep warm. My pickup said it was seven below zero outside. When it is this cold, the homeless have to keep moving or they might freeze to death. They came out to see what was going on. I said, “My KING told me to come and bring food and hot drinks to warm you up. He wants me to tell you how much he loves you. That is why I am here.” I began playing worship music as I set out the pizza and drinks on my tailgate. I then prayed over the food so they could began eating. They were all very hungry because of all the energy they have used to try and stay warm. I pulled my Bible and a pillow out of my pickup. I began reading John 3:16 to them. As the first words came out of my mouth, the light under the tunnel came on. The lights brightness made it like daytime. Even heat was radiating from the light. One of the homeless ladies said, “I have been here over a year and that light has never come on.” She repeated saying that several times as the night continued because I feel she knew that our KING turned that light on. I continued reading scripture as they ate. Because of the cold, homeless people from all over came when that light came on. They too were hungry and asked to join in. Others in the group left to get their buddies so they would not miss the blessing. There was a lot of food but I feel that people drank and ate more food and drink than what I brought. My KING made sure everyone had enough to eat and drink. The most requested song they wanted to hear was “Amazing Grace.” I played that song many times.  They continued to listen to the music playing and the KING’s message I shared with. Some of the homeless grabbed something to eat but left right away.

The Holy Spirit said it is now time for them give their hearts to Jesus. I read Matthew 6:33 to them and said, “This life you are living here is all temporary. We are never promised tomorrow. We all need to decide where we are going to spend eternity. Now is the time to give your heart to Jesus Christ so we can be with him.” As I gave the alter call, 24 of the homeless wanted to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. I prayed for them as they began turning their lives one by one over to Jesus Christ. A peace fell over them from the power of the Holy Spirit and some started going to sleep. I brought my pillow and sat down on the cold ground with them. I layed some of the blankets I had on the ground by me. Some of the women took advantage of the blankets and even rested their heads on my lap and feet. The cold got to my speakers in the back of my pickup and the music stopped playing. I continued talking with them about their new lives in Jesus. One person turned to me and said, “We have received food and goods from other people which we are grateful but it was like feeding an animal in a zoo. They drop the package off and leave the scene quickly. You are different. No one would ever come this late at night and in this cold to love and share with us. You are not in any hurry to leave because you want to bless others that keep coming by. The light even obeys you. Who are you?”

I said, “I am Sonny, I am just doing what my KING asked me to do. He gets the Glory and the Victory.” All of them began to fall asleep. I placed blankets over the ladies who fell asleep next to me. My KING had me stay and continue to read my Bible and pray over everyone as they slept. As I was praying, I was interrupted someone walking by. He was surprised to see me awake by myself and that my pickup had not been harmed in this dangerous neighborhood. He said, “You have a nice pickup. It is going to get trashed in this neighborhood. ”

I said, “This is not my pickup.” He said, “Whose pickup is it?”

I replied, “My KINGs.” He said, “What do mean by your KING?”

I replied, “Jesus Christ is my KING.” When I mentioned the name of Jesus, he took off running. Eventually he came back. He began to realize there was food here and a place to get warm. He came back and apologized for his behavior. I offered him pizza and hot drink. I told him what I told the other homeless and he too gave his heart to Jesus Christ and fell asleep with the others. I asked God what I should read as the night continued. He said, “Sonny, start reading Psalms 1 and keep reading.” It was approaching 2 am and God said, “You can stop reading. It is now time to go home and get some sleep.” The Holy Spirit had everyone fast asleep. I started wiggled my way from the women laying on me. Even though I was trying to be careful, it looked like I was banging them around. Everyone was still fast asleep as worked my way entirely out. I started my pickup and turned my lights on. Still there was no one stirring. I continued watching as I put my pickup in reverse and backed away.  I started driving forward and left the park as everyone remained fast asleep. It was 3 am when I arrived at my warm apartment and went to bed.

Sunday morning my KING had me check on their progress. I went back where I left them. A white van from one of the shelters was there feeding them breakfast. They came to pick them up to take them to a shelter. They all picked up the things I brought them and climbed into the van with them. They are going someplace warm. The reason my KING had me come back was for me to watch what was going on. The homeless women were praying and witnessing to the shelter people after only knowing Jesus for a short time. They were listening to exactly every word I said last night because they quoted to the staff word for word what I said to them. Soon the shelter staff began giving their hearts to Jesus Christ. Some of the homeless saw me watching and shouted, “Sonny! There is the man who cared for us and brought us to Jesus Christ.” The staff came over and talked to me. They were amazed how I stayed with the homeless most of the night and how these homeless people brought Jesus into their lives. Like the homeless they asked, “Who are you?” And like I said to the homeless, “I am just Sonny. I only did what my KING asked me to do.” It was very interesting that when they were ready to load the last of their possessions into the vans, they began grabbing the food that was left. The staff said, “You can throw that food away. We have plenty at the shelter.” The homeless replied, “No way! We do not waste food. We have experienced hunger and all food is precious to us.” They continued to pick up all the food. As I watched the vans go, I thought to myself how our KING used me to reach them for the Kingdom and keep them alive until they could be picked up by someone. My heart has a spot for the homeless and I want to thank our KING for allowing me to serve them.

It was still cold outside and it became very quiet after the vans disappeared. So I left the park to talked to some more gangs at their homes. After sharing with them, I went home to warm up and eat a snack.

Easiest Gang Ever

My King had me go see a new gang today. The undercover police said, “There is a new gang of 15 from Dallas Texas. They have been hanging around the park each day even when it is very cold. We feel they have no money or a place to stay and have not seen any girls with them.”

I replied, “My King wants me to see them this weekend.” My King wanted me to take them homemade burritos so I purchased ingredients for the undercover women to give them time to make the burritos.  They had them freshly made by 10am Saturday.  I took the breakfast burritos, Dr. Pepper and water to the park where they were hanging out. I pulled up and parked behind their cars. Because of the temperature, they were just sitting in their cars. When I stepped out of my pickup, the gang also stepped out of their cars with pistols drawn. The leaders said, “What do you want?”

With all their pistols still trained on me,  I said,  “I am here for your hearts. ” They looked at me strangely and said, “My heart! What are you talking about?”

I replied, “I have come here to bring Jesus Christ to you guys.” They said, “Dude, who are you?”

I said, “I am Sonny. I minister to all the gangs here in this town.” They then asked,  “You are a minister then?”

I said, “Only when I’m awake. When I’m asleep, I’ve got to rest.”  He said, “Do you have something…?” I interrupted him and said, “Yes I do.” He then said, “How do you know even know what I was going to say?”

I said,  “God told me you guys are hungry. I brought food.” He replied, “What did you bring? ” They still have their pistols trained on me.

I said, “I brought breakfast burritos for you guys. Blue Mustang helped me to get this food to you guys. He’s just a guy that is big part of this ministry.” The leader said,  “It sounds like he is a cool dude. We definitely are hungry.”  I laid everything out on the tailgate. It was too cold to eat outside but this gang had no place to stay.  The burritos are still hot to compensate for the cold. They started eating but I said, “We need to pray over God’s blessings,  that’s the rule.” After praying over breakfast,  they began eating the three dozen burritos I put front of them. I had a total of 12 dozen in my pickup but the rest were for other gangs. While they ate, I went back to my pickup to get my Bible. When the last of burritos were eaten, I began reading John 3:16 to them. The leader began crying when I finished reading.  The rest of his men looked at him and said, “What are you doing? We don’t cry here. What’s the deal.”

The leader said, “My grandma used to read that verse to me all the time. I know it by heart.” His gang said, “You do! What does that verse mean.” From here on the leader took over. He replied, “Jesus came to Earth for us. He died for us because of the love he had for you and me. He wants our names to be written in the Lambs Book of Life. All we have to do is ask Jesus to forgive the bad things we have done and give our hearts to him. My grandma and grandpa told me other great things about Jesus Christ. I also remembered them telling me that a stranger like this guy would come some day and read this same verse over me. They also warned me that it would be the last time anyone would talk to me about Jesus Christ again.”  His men then asked, “We have been a gang for 3 years and you never mentioned any of this to us.” The leader replied, “I was stubborn and never taken their words seriously. I wanted to do things my way.  After seeing all that has taken place,  I am ready to give my life to Jesus Christ now. If this guy is that brave to tell us about Jesus Christ while holding pistols on him,  I’m ready to surrender everything to him.”  The leader then said, “Sonny is not going to hurt us. Put your pistols down.”

The leader looked at me and asked, “How long have you been a Christian.” I replied, “I have been a Christian long enough to know that God is real.” His men then asked, “Is it really easy to ask Jesus Christ into your life.”  The leader took over the conversation and said, “Men it really is that easy. All you do is have to ask for forgiveness of your sins and ask Jesus to to enter into your hearts.” The leader was witnessing to his own gang. He thoroughly understood the concept of how to give your heart to Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sins. The leader then said, “I want my name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.  I’m done with this life. We are going back to Texas to my family.” He then turned to his men and asked them the same question, “Do you want your names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?”  They began thinking about how nice it would be to go home to family.  The leader then looked at me and said, “I want to give my life to Jesus Christ in front of my men because we have been a gang for three years.” The leader then looked at his men and said, “It would be great if you would give your hearts to Jesus but if you decide not to you have my blessing either way. His men then asked, “Are we going to be a gang anymore?” The leader paused then said, “We are going to be a gang representing Jesus Christ.” After that,  everyone accepted Jesus Christ. They all began calling home to talk to their families in Texas. There was a lot of crying going on as they communicated with their families.  Almost all of his men had families who are Christians. They have all been praying for this day that is probably the reason why it was so easy for me to talk to this gang and convince them to give their lives to Jesus Christ. My King gets the Glory and Victory.

The Lord was working on their hearts before I got there to talk to them.  They begin sharing with me they’ve been here for three days and nothing seemed to be going quite right. They were running out of money. They were not sure what they needed to do. My King wanted to continue to bless them and said, “Sonny,  I want you to fill their cars with fuel. Use your credit card to fill their cars.” I then said, “Guys let’s go to Costco.  I want to fill all your car with gas before you go home.” I lined all the cars up at one pump and filled them one at a time. They were ecstatic to have there car all gassed up. My King asked me to give the rest of the food I had to them. I then said, “I have nine dozen burritos in my pickup. You can take them home so you have something to eat on your way back.” I called my informers and told him what I was going to do and they said, “That’s okay. We’ll just make more burritos for you.” The leader came to me and said, “I only need three dozen burritos. I was planning on getting cheeseburgers for lunch and pizza for supper for my men. So three dozen burritos will be enough.” They did take all my pop and water and put it in their coolers which were completely empty. I then remembered I had a big box of Costco chips that I gave that to them also. They were so perplexed. They again asked the question, “Who are you?”  I again replied, “I’m just Sonny.  I know Jesus Christ and when he said give it all, I was going to give it all to you guys.” One of the gang members said, “You are like Santa Claus but a Christian one.” I smiled and continued praying for them all as their families continued calling all of them. I was listening to the leader talking to his uncle on speaker. His uncle said, “I heard that you became a Christian.  I have a job for you here in Texas as a roofer. It will help you get your on your feet.” God was already starting to bless him before he even got home. This was the easiest gang that I reached for Jesus Christ. But I will not forget who prepared their hearts for me. I am only the messenger.  The Holy Spirit knows our hearts better then anyone.

Is Loyalty Gone?

I am wondering about what is happening to loyalty in our country today. When I bring food to the gangs and tell them about the love of Jesus Christ and how much he loves them they respond to this message. Even though I myself never have been in a gang, I have experienced the street life and I share things I learned to help keep them safe. It furthers their loyalty to me. I know a lot about guns myself and have told them not to hold them sideways to prevent the bullet from jamming in the chamber. Semi-autos are designed to kick bullets out with the barrel on top. By holding it sideways, gravity can prevent the bullet from going into the chamber properly and it could cause a gun to jam. They always look at me like who am I. Why would he want to protect us. I always tell them, “I love you too much. I do not want to see you get hurt.”

I told one gang about Antifa in 2020. I told them that they are a paid organization that go out and cause Kaos and destruction. I told them that they hate me and that you should stay away from them so that you don’t get hurt either. Well, I found out later when I met with them again what they did for me. They said, “Sonny, remember when you know you told us about Antifa. On January 6th when they were run out of the Denver Capitol Building, they came over to our park with their loud speakers blazing. We remembered you warning us about staying away from them. But we decided that we did not want them in our park. I had my boys get their baseball gloves, softballs and bats out of the cars. We went over and asked them to play softball with us. The Antifa guys looked at us with arrogance and mumbled, “Play softball with you.” It will be fun. We then dropped our mitts with the softballs. As our gloves dropped, their eyes followed the gloves to the ground. In that moment of distraction, our baseball bats began clubbing them. When we got through with these guys, they could not move. We know you would not want us to kill them but we did make thirty-eight hundred bucks off them and received a lot of other gifts from them. We busted them up pretty bad so we waited for them to come to. I threatened them further about what might happen to them if they stayed. They said thay they wanted to live so I had one of my boys escort them to the Kansas border.”

I do not condone nor does my King what they did but there was this tiny feeling of celebration of pure evil getting its just reward. l am continually meeting with gangs that have a certain amount of loyalty towards me. My goal is still for them to turn their hearts over to Jesus Christ and to live like Jesus did. Many times I have told gangs that tomorrow is never promised and if they continue in the course they are on that the Lake of Fire is their final destination. This is something no man wants to hear but I also tell them that Jesus Christ does not want you to go there either. Just give your heart to him and you can be with him.

Our president is no different.  He has proven to us by keeping his promises that he is on our side. He stands up for our country by giving us low unemployment, building our military for protection. It works because we don’t hear about the bad guys overseas anymore since he’s been president. I know he prays for us and he prays to our King. His whole goal is to make America great again. America’s greatness means we are blessed by God and what’s wrong with being blessed by him. Granted, go getter President Trump sometimes comes across more like a drill sergeant and some people don’t like how he says things. But you know, I have been behaving myself and nothing he has said has been directed towards me. It seems like whatever anyone says today is offensive to someone else. Many people spend every waking hour trying to catch someone in the act of being offensive. Whatever happened to that backbone that allowed us to take things in stride. Just remember President Trump is not Jesus Christ so that means he’s not perfect. But you need to look at what he stands for. Most of his platform deals with Biblical principles. He hates abortion, human trafficking, same-sex marriage, transgenderism and open borders. He’s been trying to do things for us to be secure and honor our King.  What’s wrong with that? On the other side is Joe Biden who has a nearly demonic platform. Almost everything in his platform apposes President Trumps platform and our King.

I know of another man who God had a lot of respect for. He had the same problem President Donald Trump had. When he spoke, he made lots of people angry. This man also prayed for the people and to our God. He was really cool in God’s sight. He made the blind see, raised the dead, and did tons of other healings. But his speech was bad in man’s definition because he was always making the Pharisees angry. He kept talking bad until they finally had enough to crucify him. If you voted for Joe’s satanic platform over President Trumps, you would have cheered to crucify this man also. But remember this, God was in 100% agreement with what this man said. I think we all know who this man is.
