Blessing Three Families

I went down to the King Soopers where I normally go to. But this time things were a little bit different. I saw a van but there appeared to be only a Mom and her two kids. I watched her as she walked around to the passenger side of the van. When she opened the door, she held on to her kid’s hands and started praying. God said, “She has two other families living with her. They have come here to see what food they can buy with what they have. They are hurting! ”

I then walked up to her and asked, “How can I pray for you guys?”

She said, “We’re trying to stretch out $42. Including myself, there are three families in my home. I have both my sister and brother’s family living with me right now. We are struggling to make it. They all have jobs but they will not start for another two weeks. So we are really hurting right now.”

I prayed with her that God would stretch this money out so they could buy groceries. I then said, “Let me tell you about what God says about your situation. I also want to tell you about Blue Mustang how God uses him in this ministry.”

Her daughter Martha said, “Blue Mustang, that’s a car. My dad has a white Mustang.”

I said to Martha that the Latinos gave Blue Mustang his nickname because he has a Blue Mustang. Martha said, “That is so cool!”

I said, “Yeah, Blue Mustang gives me $280 each weekend to bless two families with. But God says today you guys need it all.”

Ruth, Martha’s mom said, “You are giving me $280 so that we can buy groceries.”

She then started crying out of control. Martha then hugged her mom because she was crying so much. After Ruth composed herself a little bit she said, “We have been praying to God that he would multiply this amount that we had somehow.”

I said, “God heard your prayer. That is the reason why I am here. But I would not be here if Blue Mustang was not obedient to God. God wants him to bless his people so they can buy groceries. This money is supposed to be used for food only. It is not for smokes or liquor.”

Ruth said, “Oh no! We are Christians. We don’t drink or smoke.”

I then said, “Why don’t we pray that God would even multiply this.”

I usually just hold my Bible and don’t make any effort to try to hold anybody’s hands but I felt this little hand reach out and grab my hand. Martha reached out to hold my hand. Martha started praying first and said, “Jesus, thank you for being so faithful. In Jesus name, Amen!”

Martha was only 7 years old but I could tell she loved God. Ruth hugged me and said, “This is a miracle. You have restored my faith.”

I then said, “It was Jesus who restored your faith.”

Ruth said, “Yes, my faith has been pretty weak but now it has been restored.”

She then took a piece of paper out and made a grocery list. She looked at me and said, “I am going to follow this list.”

We both went inside the store where we split up. We each picked up the things that we needed. I needed to stock up on more Dr. Pepper and water for the gangs I was going to meet today. I was getting near the checkout line when I started to witness to some Spanish guys that were in the store. I noticed that Ruth was getting ready to check out and the manager started pointing at me. Ruth said, “Yes that’s him.” The manager then reached into his wallet and paid for their groceries. When we were outside praying, that manager must have seen me pray over her. He definitely knew what was going on.

I went outside where I met up with her again. She came up to me and said, “That manager would not let me pay. He said that Sonny over there is always blessing people. He is like that guy Blue Mustang.” Then she told me what Martha said:

Martha spoke to the manager and said, “It is not a car. It is actually a man. My Dad has a white Mustang but the Latinos never gave him a cool nickname.” Then Martha asked, “How can we pray for you? I know Jesus does miracles every day. I want to pray for you.” At that moment the manager began to cry.

What Ruth said made me think; What if Blue Mustang and I were not obedient. These things would never have happened. The family may have missed out on a blessing and the manager may have never known who Ruth was. So it is important that we always continue to stay obedient to our King. Our obedience changes the destiny of people.

Ruth then said, “We now have enough money to put gas in the van. When my brother and sister start working, I will give them money to fill their cars to get to work.” Ruth was thinking how to spend God’s money wisely. I reminded her that it was God who orchestrated all this and to give him the Glory and the Victory. It is important that all the families staying with you know where the blessings come from.

Even before God told me that this was the family, I saw them praying. That was a clue that these we’re the ones to receive the blessing. You may someday see someone praying for a miracle. This will be your opportunity to change someone’s life.

Mexican Mafia Turn to Jesus Christ

On the week of October 23rd, I got a call from Greeley’s undercover police that Mexican Mafia had moved into Island Grove Park. The first thing they did was run off all the homeless people in the area. The Mafia said, “Either you leave or you get shot. We are planning on taking over the entire area and we don’t want your kind around here.”

The homeless frequent this area a lot because of its availability to the river and space to hang out. Now they are going to have to hide from the presence of these guys. Some of them did challenge the Mafia, but that didn’t last long as the Mafia quickly beat them up. The undercover police have been trying to arrest the Mafia but they don’t make any mistakes for a conviction. The undercover police showed me videos taken with drones. The Mexican mafia consists entirely of guys. As I continued watching the videos, God was preparing me to take 33 Bibles to this organization. There are two gangs in Greeley called the Reds and the Blues. From the videos I could see they were losing to the Mafia guys. Once these guys were gone, the Mafia would totally own Greeley. I did not want to interfere with the operations of the undercover police and God had not, at this point in time, given me permission to go in yet. So I waited for God’s permission to do so.

The undercover police contacted me many times during the week to follow. I continued to observe and God finally said, “Sonny, you need to go and talk to them today.”

This was on a Tuesday. I immediately went home and gathered all the Bibles and left for Island Grove Park in Greeley, Colorado. Before I entered the park, God said for me to start playing some music. The selection he gave me was quite unusual. He said play “In the Mood” by Glenn Miller. If you don’t realize who this guy is, he is a singer from the 50’s. I said, “God, this is not going to help relieve the situation. I just have not heard of any Mexican gangs or Hispanic people who listen to Glenn Miller.”

After God listened to my so called advice, he said, “Sonny, just do it!”

God sees the big picture. I did not understand what he was planning. I pulled up to the Mexican Mafia playing Glenn Miller loudly. You may even wonder why or how I was able to find a recording of Glenn Miller. I happen to like the song that God asked me to play and I actually had it on my phone. I parked near them while the song was still playing and got out of my pickup. They all reached for their pistols and pointed them at me. They said, “You made a big mistake coming here. I don’t know who you think you are to pull up like you did playing that kind of music.”

I replied, “Let me tell you about the music you heard. God told me to play it loud so you could hear it.”

Before his men started beating me up, Carlos the leader of the Mafia said, “Leave him alone! I can tell you exactly why he was playing that music. That was my grandpa’s favorite song. Every time I would go over to his house when I was younger, he would play Glenn Miller and I heard this song many times. This was my grandpa’s favorite song. While he was playing that music he would always tell me about Jesus Christ.”

Now, I knew exactly why God had me play this song. Carlos then said, “Everybody put your pistols away. This is only one guy.”

But Carlos didn’t realize that I brought God’s Kingdom with me. Carlos said, “What do you want to say? What do you want with us?”

I said, “I want your hearts for Jesus Christ.”

At this moment Carlos took over the preaching for me by talking about his grandfather. He started telling his men about what his grandfather told him about Jesus Christ. He said, “My grandfather would continuously read John 3:16 to me.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Carlos began quoting scriptures to his gang. My grandfather would never stop. I would tell him that I do not want want to hear about Jesus Christ anymore. My grandfather would then say that everything you see is temporary. But Jesus Christ is eternal.”

I just stood there listening to everything that Carlos was speaking. He then said, “He would have this board in his living room. He used a hot knife to sear Matthew 6:33 into the wood.

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

My grandpa never gave up on me. He continued to show me all kinds of scriptures. My grandfather’s favorite scripture was Jeremiah 29:11″

His right-hand man Victor never put his pistol away. He felt it was his duty to protect the leader. But Victor was listening intently to what Carlos was saying. He then asked, “Are there any more scriptures that you can share.”

Carlos replied, “That is mostly it but hell is real. You will be thrown into the Lake of Fire if you do not give your heart to Jesus Christ.”

Victor was amazed and asked, “How can you remember all that? You are now preaching to us and you are our leader!”

Carlos said, “Yeah, some things you just don’t forget. You’re thinking that you’re not paying attention but I found out that I was listening to every word my grandpa was speaking.”

Victor looked at me and asked, “What is Jeremiah 29:11?”

I said, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Carlos then stepped in and said, “When you read that verse you notice the part that says the Lord. That was actually the Lord speaking himself. That was not like Matthew or Luke writing it.”

As I was listening to Carlos, I said to myself man this guy could be a preacher. I then looked at Carlos and asked, “So now you have a gang and your primary purpose is beating up people. This park is the only place that the homeless people can hang out, but you physically ran them off. Now they have no place to go. Jesus would not do that he would come here and feed them. He would give them clothing and blankets so they would stay warm.”

Carlos immediately started crying when I said that. He said, “My grandfather told me that someday I would go to the homeless and feed them, give them clothes and give them warm blankets.” Carlos was starting to become emotional. He then said, “I don’t know what’s going on inside of me but you better stop talking.”

I said, “It is not me talking to you but it is the Holy Spirit. You have forgotten what your purpose is in this world. That is to preach to those who are lost and broken hearted. Just like your Grandpa and your Dad used to do.”

Carlos was definitely ready to lose composure. He just had to walk away. As soon as Carlos left the scene, Victor looked at me and said, “So you come here to tell us about Jesus. Then you bring all these tacos from Taco Bell for us to eat. Our leader, of which I have no clue what just happened, but he knows all these scriptures. You tell him that his purpose is to feed the homeless, give clothes to them, and tell them about Jesus.” Before I could answer him he then said, “You do not know all the things we have done. We do not mess around.”

I said, “Victor, it does not matter what you have done. If you ask for forgiveness from our King, he will forgive you. Then he’ll forget everything. But you need to ask him for forgiveness first.”

Victor then paused as he was thinking about what I said. He then said, “I don’t know what is happening right now. I have to go take a walk.”

At this Moment, he finally put his pistol down. Then he began to walk away. His men did not know what was going on either but when Victor mentioned the word “tacos” they looked at me and one man asked, “Did you really bring us tacos?”

I then put the tailgate down. I brought the Bibles and the tacos and laid them out on my tail gate. I asked what his name is and he revealed his name is “Hyman”. I had him write his name down on a piece of paper. I then had the rest of the mafia do the same thing. I personally put their individual names in each Bible and wrote a personal message to each one in their Bibles. The Holy Spirit told me what to write for each man. As I handed each man his Bible, I said, “It is your responsibility to give your heart to Jesus Christ. I cannot force you to do that.”

Meanwhile Carlos came back and said, “I have been thinking about what you said. I am going to go back home in Mexico. I am going to start a ministry there. I want to rededicate my heart to Jesus Christ. Will you help me?”

I prayed over Carlos as he rededicated his life to Jesus Christ. I looked at his men and said, “If any of you guys want your name written into the Lamb’s Book of Life, come over here. I am not going to force you to come over here but you will not be able to say that no one ever told you about Jesus Christ loving you. You can never say that. I am telling you right now that Jesus Christ loves you. He came to this world for us. Even before we were born he knew us and he still does.”

Victor then shared, “I never liked hurting people. I did it to protect my leader. I always felt bad after we hurt people.”

They all started sharing things about their life and soon they were all giving their hearts to Jesus Christ. Soon they began calling their parents and telling them that they were ready to come home. Carlos shared with his folks the ministry that he was going to start with the homeless. All his men continued eating while all this was going on. Some of the homeless people were curious to see what was going on. They watched us and kept coming closer. Carlos shouted, “Hey, if you guys are hungry we got some food here for you.”

Carlos was already starting his ministry feeding the homeless. Soon this taco truck suddenly appeared. I had no idea where this truck came from. The driver shouted, “I hear somebody needs some food around here.”

Carlos said, “We don’t have a lot of money here, so you can leave.”

The driver replied, “No it’s free Taco Tuesday.”

The man’s wife was also in the truck and they both started making tacos and burritos for the gang and me. More of the homeless were hiding behind the ditch on the Northside. They were watching all that was going on. They now felt more bold and came over. I looked at Carlos and said, “God is already bringing them to you.”

There were close to 50 people there being fed including the mafia itself. The driver said, “We need to stop eating and thank God for this meal.”

He used the intercom system on his truck and started praying to the gang. The homeless guys began crying. Carlos walked up to them and asked, “Do you guys know Jesus Christ. He’s the way, the truth and life. He is eternal.”

I already had given him his Bible. He opened it up to John 3:16 and started reading that verse. He was definitely ministering to homeless people. Wednesday morning they all jumped into their 61 Impalas and headed back to Mexico as changed men.

I had a Freitas taco that was out of this world. The driver, who somehow knew who I was, said, “Good work Sonny!”

I said, “I did not do anything thing. Jesus Christ did it all.”

The driver then said, “No charge. These tacos are all free today. Do you want anymore?”

I gratefully said, “No, I am full. That is one of the best tacos that I ever ate.”

What was interesting, there were nine undercover police that were watching and listening to everything that we said. They confided in me that they have never cried like they did when I was sharing Jesus with them. We saw the whole thing. What you just did blew us away. But they said, “We were really concerned when you started playing Glenn Miller. We all thought you lost it! ”

God gets the Glory and the Victory. There was no way I would have chosen Glenn Miller. God knew Carlos’s heart much better than I did. He could not have made a better choice to deliver his message.

A few weeks have passed and Carlos and his men are getting support in Mexico. He calls me frequently to share what is happening. He will be reaching the homeless. Likewise in Greeley this was a desperate situation. Nothing could stand up against these guys and they were worried. They did not realize that God’s Kingdom was present. Getting rid of a threat is one thing but turning the threat into a ministry, only the true God, Yahweh, could master such a plan.

Families Delivered from Dumpster

It is Saturday morning and my King had me head to a King Soopers on the east side of Denver. When I arrived at the store, I headed to the parking lot like I normally do. But God said, “No, you need to go to the back of the store.”

That caught me off guard because of the habit of doing it the way he had always had me do it. I have learned that my King has sent me to many different places. This is no different. I drove around to the back of the store where the dumpsters were located. I noticed that there were two families in the back. One family with three kids worked on one dumpster. Another family with two kids worked on the other dumpster. It looked like one dumpster contained their old produce. The other dumpster contained the rest of the trash. They knew the schedule of the store and they were waiting for them to bring the outdated meat outside. As I continued to watch them work the dumpsters, God said, “Sonny, those are the families I want you to bless. Go get them.”

I just started crying because this was so sad to see what was happening here. I parked a short distance from them and I walked up to them with my Bible in one hand. When I got near them, they said, “Good morning.” They were somewhat embarrassed but I feel they encountered other people before so they are are starting to get used to this. I didn’t ask them how they were doing but I asked, “Are you guys hungry?”

They replied, “Yes, we’re waiting for them to throw stuff away so that way we can get some more groceries.”

I then said, “If somebody would come to you and tell you that someone gave them money to buy groceries, how would that make you feel?”

One wife replied, “That would be an answer to prayer. We are really hurting. My husband has been laid off because they closed his business down again because of Covid. People are panicking way too much. This is preventing him from going to work.”

She then pointed me to the other family and said, “They only moved here two weeks ago. He gets paid monthly not weekly so he has to wait a full 30 days to get a paycheck.”

I said, “Yikes! That sure does have to hurt.” I paused a Moment then said, “Let me tell you about Blue mustang and how God…”

Julie, her daughter interrupted and said “That’s a car!”

The little kids just don’t get it. I continued explaining to the family who Blue Mustang is and they exclaimed, “Wow! Does God really tell him to give money to families like us to buy groceries?” The 11 year old son chimed in and said, “He is like a Christian Santa Clause!”

I said, “Yes, God has given him a heart for his Kingdom.” It is now time to bless the families. I then said, “Everyone come by my pickup. I have some hand sanitizer in my pickup and I will get your hands all cleaned up.”

After messing in the dumpsters their hands were getting pretty dirty. I then prayed with them that God would bless them and encourage them. I finished up saying, “God never abandons us. You will never walk alone. God knows that you are hungry and he will always provide.”

Then Julie said, “Let us not forget about the Christian Santa Claus, Blue Mustang. Bless him and his family and do not let him get hungry like us.”

I began to cry. What she said just penetrated my heart. Both families were crying also. After I collected myself, I said, “Let’s get ready to go inside.”

Before they went back to their vehicles, God said, “Sonny, it is now time to give them their money.”

I was thinking about giving the money to them in the store. But God said, “Give it to them now! What are you waiting for!”

I handed each family $140. They said, “Man, that is a lot of money.” They were so grateful for what they received. Julie looked at her Dad and said, “Remember Dad, Mom said that it is a blessing.”

Her Dad said, “Yes, you are right. It is a blessing.”

Both families hugged me again and they moved their vehicles to the front of the store. I was getting ready to leave and let them do their own shopping when the kids all asked me to go shopping with them. I acknowledged to them that I would love to go shopping with them. We all walked into the store together and each family grabbed a cart. Both families were careful with what they bought. They were only getting the things that they needed.

The manager then comes up. I had no idea who he was. He asked, “I see that you guys are doing some shopping.” As he said that, I could see tears coming down his eyes.

I then asked him how he was doing and of course he said he was doing okay. He paused for a minute as he continued looking at me. He then said, “I listened to everything you said outside. I heard every word that you said. I also listened to every word that the children said. I have seen these families here three times this week. I have actually put red tags on good meat just to help them out. I knew that they were hungry. God brought conviction to my heart when I heard what they were saying and what you said about Blue Mustang.”

Julie then stepped in and said, “He is not a car. He is a real person.”

The manager then asked the families if they had a place to live and they confirmed that they did. He then said, “Continue to enjoy your shopping. My wife is coming in about 20 minutes to meet you. Don’t worry about what it’s going to cost. You both get what you want and what you need.”

The kids exclaimed, “Does that mean that we can get cookies and ice cream? Maybe we can even get cereal.” For kids all this stuff is huge.

The manager then reiterated what he said before, “Just get what you want and get what you need. I will meet you up front when you are ready to check out.”

I wanted to pray with the manager and Julie said, “Let’s hold hands.”

We all got in a circle and began praying with all the people shopping around us in the store. We just did not care what other people might have thought. Julie said, “You know this is just like celebrating Christmas. Everyone is giving gifts to us. This is just so awesome.”

The parents were becoming emotional with the scope of miracles that were occurring. Two employees also came up with some extra gift cards. They had one for each family. They too, overheard everything that I said.

It was interesting how God orchestrated all this. At the appointed time that I arrived to talk to the families, the manager was getting ready to take something outside. That is when he heard me talking to the families. He just stood there with the door cracked listening to everything. At the same time the employees were curious what the manager was up to and they started moving towards him. They too started listening. Almost every employee in the back of the store was listening to what was going on outside.

The manager was flabbergasted when the employees did that. Most of them were young and mostly high school age. To sacrifice that money that they make for these families was totally amazing. Most young people want everything that they make for themselves. The manager then said, “May God bless you guys for what you’ve done.”

The kids went back and they brought two more grocery carts. The kids said, “We want you to fill these two carts up too. We will pay for these also.”

In the meantime the manager’s wife showed up. And she said that she wanted to pray for the families. She then paid for all the carts of the families. One cart was a little over $300 and the other was just a little less than $300. Next, more of the younger employees all started showing up. They all pitched in and said, “We just got you some more gift cards. This is just in case you need gas.”

That ended up being another $150 in gift cards for each family. The manager then looked at the families and said, “Do not ever go back there again! You come and look for me.” At that moment he handed them his business cards. He then said, “You always call and make sure that I’m here. I want to make sure that you never have to go back there again.”

By now both families are crying at such a wonderful miracle they received from God. Julie asked, “Does that mean that we do not have to eat from the trash can anymore?”

When she brought that up, I lost it again as I began thinking about her rummaging through the dumpster. She then said, “We are celebrating Christmas in October. It is so awesome.” She then looked at her Dad and said, “I remember you telling me that we should always pray and thank God for our blessings. I know that we have thanked these people but we have not thanked our God. I understand that God sent these people to us.”

I was amazed how well Julie spoke of spiritual things. I asked her how old she was. She said, “I am seven years old. Can’t you tell!”

I said, “You sure know a lot about God.

Julie then said, “I learned it all from my Mom and Dad. I learned more from my Dad because my Mom is shy when she prays in front of other people.”

Her Mom verified that Julie was correct. She then said, “Not anymore. Let us thank God right now.”

The mom started praying thanking God for everything. She prayed boldly to our King.

It was so cool seeing each family taking two carts of food to each one of their vans. You know what is amazing about all this is when God told me to go to the back of the store, it started a chain reaction of events. As I was telling the families about how God sent me here, the manager happened to be coming outside. He heard the message that God sent me to the families. That in turn as he was listening, the employees began wondering what he was doing. They moved in closer until they heard what was going on. That inspired them to bless the families with gift cards. So the lesson learned is to be obedient to God. He knows how to bring a plan together to orchestrate a bigger blessing. I know, I see my King do this for his families all the time. I can only deliver his blessing. It is his and he gets the Glory and Victory.

Frisbees Bring Gang to Jesus

I just finished blessing two families and I am headed to pick up the 12 dozen burritos that my ladies have made for me. To this point God still hasn’t told me where to go so I started praying to him to show me where I should take these burritos. After I finish praying, God said, “Sonny, go to the park in Commerce City. The gangs will be there.”

I have been there many times before so I was curious to see who was there. When I arrived, there were three gangs already facing each other. These guys weren’t holding baseball bats or knives. They all had pistols drawn and were pointing them at each other. And they were having a shouting match, accusing each other of certain things. God said, “Sonny, drive your pickup on the grass now! Go right between all three gangs and separate them.”

I have learned that in this kind of a situation I don’t have to worry about anybody chasing me off the grass. It is amazing, when pistols are drawn there is no law enforcement of any kind present. So I immediately drove my pickup right between all three gangs. I was moving so fast that a few of them even had to move out of the way so they would not be hit. I caught them off-guard and they yelled, “What the hell are you doing?”

Now their pistols were pointed in my direction. Pablo was the leader of one of the gangs that I have been witnessing to for two years. Pablo knew me very well and he came up and said, “Sonny, what are you doing here man. You need to move your pickup out of the way. We are fixing to shoot everybody here. These guys were planning on shooting us so we are going to shoot back.”

I said, “No man! I can’t do that.” I looked at the other gangs and turned back to Pablo. I then said, “I have a gift for all of you.”

Soon the other leaders started moving in and began asking, “What is going on here? Who are you? You are in the way!”

I said, “I made a way. My King said to come here. That is why I am here.”

They were not sure what I was talking about. They then asked, “What do you want?”

I said, “I need some help to get this box out of my backseat.” One leader said, “All right, we will help you. I just cannot wait till we start shooting this pickup all up.”

I said, “It’s okay, but first let me give you your gift.”

That leader sent two of his men to get the box out of the back of my pickup. I had the box all covered with duct tape. I asked, “Do any of you guys have a knife?”

About 30 guys already had their knives open ready to have at the box. They started carefully opening the box with their knives. When they pulled the flap back, one man said, “It is full of Frisbees!”

I said, “Those are for you guys.”

I reached into the box and started throwing frisbees at all the guys. One of the men said, “Man, do you know how long it’s been since I’ve thrown a frisbee?”

Pretty soon there were frisbees flying everywhere. They were hitting my pickup and they were hitting other gang members. One guy was playing football. He would send a couple of guys out, then he would try making a pass. Those frisbees changed the whole atmosphere that day. When I got there, they were ready to shoot each other, now they’re playing frisbee with each other. You are probably wondering why I had frisbees in my pickup.

My King knew that there would be a solution to what was going on today. He had me go to Walmart earlier and pick up the frisbees. You are right, I was clueless on how this would unfold but my King already had an amazing plan in place. When I got there, the manager said, “I just put them all in the back because this time of year people don’t buy frisbees.”

I said, “I need all the frisbees that you have. If you have at least 30 that would be great but I will take more.”

We continued walking to the back of the store and started looking for the box. Then the manager said, “Let me look and see what’s in this box.” As he started messing with the box, he asked, “What are you doing with all these frisbees?”

I said, “God wants me to buy frisbees for the gangs I am meeting today. This will prevent them from killing each other.”

The manager then said, “Man, that is so super cool!” The manager then grabbed a marker and put “Rejects” on the box. He then looked at me and said, “Take them. I will walk you outside so you do not have to pay for them. That is the coolest idea I have ever heard of in my whole life. I want to be part of that blessing also.”

Going back to the park, all the gangs were continuing to have fun chucking frisbees. God then told me to get the coolers and food out. I placed all the food and the drinks out on the back of my pickup. Then I yelled, “Are you guys hungry?”

They yelled back, “We definitely are hungry!”

I told them what I had in the coolers and mentioned that the burritos are spicy. So be careful so you don’t get the screamers. These are going to be the best burritos you probably have ever eaten. As they began to eat, they continued to throw frisbees. Everyone put their pistols away. I climbed up in the back of my pickup and started reading the Bible loudly. The men then asked, “Are you a preacher?”

I said, “Only when I’m awake but when I’m asleep I’ve got to have my rest.”

He smiled and then asked, “Is it true that Jesus came and died for us even though we weren’t even born yet?”

I said, “Yes, he knew you even before you were born. He knew that you would be standing right here today.”

Pablo came over and said, “Sonny, will tell you that Jesus loves you. I used to beat him up and he would still get up and say Jesus loves you and I forgive you.” He paused for a moment and then said, “Sonny, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I’ve been missing my family. I want to go back to them but I don’t know if they are going to accept me.”

I have been witnessing to this guy for over two years. Now today he’s ready to give his heart to Jesus Christ. Pablo then looked at his men and said, “I am done being a gangster. If you guys want to continue you can be gangsters but I’m finished. I am going home but first I am giving my heart to God.”

His men thought about what he just said. They all began to tell themselves they were missing their families also. The whole gang then gave their lives to Jesus Christ right in front of the other two gangs.

The other gangs then started asking questions. They looked at me and asked, “So you brought us frisbees and you brought us food just because Jesus loves us?”

I said, “Jesus loves you guys very much. He has a different purpose for your lives than what you are doing right now. He does not want you to shoot each other but he wants you to have fellowship with each other. You don’t have to fight each other. Just do what this other gang did.”

One of the leaders said, “We do a lot of trading with girls. God will never forgive that.”

I said, “Yes, he will. But you have to ask him first before he will forgive you.”

Pablo joined me and said, “God will forgive you. He will bring peace to your heart like he did to me today. Before I leave, I would love to pray for you guys right now.”

I said to myself, “This is amazing! He just became a Christian today and he’s already wanting to pray for the people he was about to shoot.”

Pablo continued to share with the other leaders. He said, “When Sonny first witnessed to us, we were extremely hard on him. We pushed him around. When we got bored with that we were ready to shoot him. But he said to me that he would love to pray for us first before we shot him. I then said to myself, “Why would a man who is about to be shot want to pray for me?” After this we could not shoot him. When he did that, things already started to change in my life. I realize today that would take a real Christian man to want to do something like that for me. That is a man of God standing there in front of you. So before you do anything to Sonny, he is going to ask you that question.”

The other gang leaders then said “Man, we want to know God like Sonny knows him.”

Then Pablo said “Let me pray for you guys.”

The other gang leader said “Pablo, I have known you longer than I have known Sonny. It would be great if you would pray for me.” Then Pablo prayed to God saying, “God, I have never prayed to you before. But could you bring peace to my enemies heart. His heart is broken just like mine was.”

He just prayed for the leader but not for the whole gang. After Pablo prayed for  the leader, he asked Pablo to come back later this afternoon to talk some more.

That gang leader looked at me and said “You know we know Puablo. We want to talk to him alone because we know him. I will probably talk to you later.”

Then all the gangs asked what they should do with all these frisbees. I told the guys just to keep them. So all three gangs divided the frisbees amongst themselves. Pablo confided in me, “If you would not have showed up, a lot of us probably would be dead right now. Because we were here to shoot each other.”

Then he finished talking and every gang member left. The third gang stayed quiet but the Holy Spirit is tugging on their hearts. I have a feeling I am going to be seeing these other two gangs next week. The fact that the other two gangs got to see Pablo’s gang give their lives to Jesus Christ, it will have an impact on them. Even though they did not invite me to come back this afternoon, I know Pablo well enough. I’ve talked about Jesus with him so much, that I am sure everyone is going to bring up his name in their conversations this afternoon. This should further impact their hearts to coming to Jesus Christ. It was amazing to watch this man who just give his life to Jesus Christ and to immediately pray for a guy that was about to shoot him. Only God has this kind of power to change one’s heart in such a short time and give him the desire to do something like this.

Dual Van Miracle

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when I ate breakfast with Blue Mustang. He said, “I know God has a couple of families out there that need to be blessed today.”

Blue Mustang gave me $280 to do that. Our King loves that number of $140 per family. He always multiplies it when this amount is given. I headed down to the King Soopers where God usually sends me. When I arrived at the store parking lot, God said, “Sonny, look behind you.”

I looked into my rearview mirror and saw a van that stopped behind me. I saw what looked like two families getting out of the van. They were packed in the van like sardines. Both families had a total of six kids. They lined up in a row and were all facing east as though they were about to pray to God. I got out of my pickup and stood by my back bumper. I could hear the men praying. One man said, “God, you brought us here and we came in obedience. We only have $28.15 left. You brought us here to expect a miracle. We are going to wait here as long as it takes for this miracle to happen.”

They had brought snacks to wait for the miracle. I discovered they could only afford saltine crackers and peanut butter to snack on. This is definitely not my way of having a snack. But they were prepared as best they could. I continued listening to the families pray. One of the children prayed, “We are expecting a miracle because I would love to have some cereal.”

This kind of prayer makes you appreciate what God gives you. I have cereal all the time. Many times I am in a hurry and don’t have time to make breakfast. I just eat a bowl of cereal to solve this problem. One of the girls then prayed, “God, I am sure missing French toast. I want to have it with butter and syrup.”

The last person to pray was a girl. She prayed, “God, I want you to bless that person who is going to bless us today 100-fold for their obedience in doing this for us.” What a grateful heart this girl had in asking God to bless someone who still has not given any money at all.

I continued to stand there until they were all done praying. God told me to wait just a little longer before I went over to talk to them. I continued listening to what they were saying. One of their little girls ask for a cracker and peanut butter because she was getting hungry. They did not have the time or the resources to even make breakfast. I began to cry when I realized that was all she had to eat. I began thinking about all of them getting out of the one van. I prayed, “God, they only have one van. They need to have another vehicle.”

I discovered the bank had reposed one family’s van. They were forced to ride together in this one van. Julie, one of the little girls said, “How long do we have to wait for this miracle?”

Tony, her nine-year-old sibling gave her the analogy about the Red Sea and said, “God could have easily opened the Red Sea before they got there, but he wanted to show his people how powerful he was. So he waited till everyone was there before it happened.” Tony paused a second then said, ” If we have to wait here all day, we are going to be patient with God. He promised that there would be a miracle and he will keep his promise.” This is a profound analogy from a 9 year old.

They decided they could be waiting awhile. They had some games in the van and they started setting them up and playing them while they were waiting for the promises of God. God said, “Sonny, it is time to go over and talk to them.”

I moved in a little closer. I then said, “So, you guys are here waiting for a miracle? Apparently you know God because I heard your cries for help. I want to tell you about Blue Mustang.”

Julie asked, “Is that a car?”

I said, “Yes that is a car, but let me tell you about Blue Mustang. God has used him in this ministry to blessed families like you that are hungry and need food. This is what he gave me to give you so that you can go buy groceries. He has warned me it is to be used for groceries only. No smokes or liquor or the blessing will stop. This money is from God but he has blessed Blue Mustang so that he can give it to you.”

Julie came up and grabbed my hand and said, “I like you. You know God.”

So here I was holding her left hand and I had my Bible in my right hand. She then said, “We have room in our van. You can sit on the floor with me. Then we can go shopping.”

Up to this point, I have not even told them how much money I have. But it didn’t matter to her. She was ready to go shopping. I told both the wives to hold their hands out. God just revealed to me that both of these women are true prayer warriors. The husband’s do pray and they have faith, but these women are amazing. God described their prayer life to me. I then laid the money on each of their hands. They said, “We don’t know when we can ever pay you back.”

I said, “No, this is a gift from God.”

Both wives replied, “This is the miracle we’ve been waiting for all morning.”

All this happened in 45 minutes. Waiting on a miracle can make it appear longer. Just remember God is never early and many times may respond at the last minute. But he is never late. Both wives said, “We know what we need and we are now able to get it.”

Julie asked, “Do you want to go shopping with us?”

I acknowledged to her that I would love to. Before we did anything, I prayed over both families. I did all this while Julie continue to hold my hand. We then began to head to the store to go shopping. But before we got to the entrance, two vans pull up like they were trying to cut us off as we walked on the sidewalk. An old gentleman, Noah, got out of one van and an old lady, Lisa, got out of the other van. Noah asked, “I saw all you guys get out of that one van. We counted more people getting out than there are seats. Some of you must not even have a seat to sit in.”

Julie said, “That’s me. I sit on the floor.” She then continued on and said, “The bank they are the bad guys. They took our van away from us. Now we have to ride with them.”

Lisa said, “Really! God just told us that we don’t need two vans. He had us come here. He said there is a family here that needs a van. He said that we had to get over here right away. It is filled with gas and now here we are. My husband pointed you guys out and said that’s the family.”

Julie exclaimed, “So you are giving us a van! Boy, these miracles are just coming from everywhere!”

She then told Noah that Blue Mustang gave us money to go buy groceries. The man then said, “I tell you what! I will match everything that he has given you so that you can not only get the things you need, but you can get the things that you want. How much money do you have now?”

They said, “Blue Mustang gave us $140 each.”

Lisa pulled out some money she had on her. She said, “I tell you what! I am going to give you each $200. Now you guys can really go out and get some groceries. That $140 will get you everything that you need but once in a while our tummies want Oreo cookies for dessert. We all know that is something that we don’t need but it is definitely something that we want. We want you to do likewise and get those things that you desire.” Lisa paused for a moment then asked, “Which van do you guys want? We have a Blue one and a red one.”

The family hesitated a bit and said, “Why don’t you take the one you want and we’ll take the one that you don’t want.”

Noah said, “No, it is not about what we want. It is about what you want. My mom passed away and she left this other van. We do not need two vans.”

It was a tough decision for the family to choose. Both of them were 2019s and they were pretty well identical in looks. Both were well taken care of. Noah said, “We tried to give one of them to our grandkids but they said we definitely do not want one of those vans.”

Martha, the wife said, “I would like to have the red one.”

Noah said, “It is yours.” He then pulled the title out and signed it over to the family. He then told Martha that it has insurance for six months and the tags are not due until next year. That family began crying after receiving such a wonderful miracle. Julie said, “Man, I cannot wait to sit down in one of those seats. That will be so much more comfortable than sitting on the floor.”

After a few moments of the family checking out the van, Noah and Lisa said, “Let’s go shopping. We want to go shopping with you.”

It was fun to watch Noah and Lisa in action. They got a cart of their own. When the parents would put an item back or the kids could not get something extra, Noah would put it in his cart. The parents did not want to abuse their blessing and many times said no. So the old couple faked it and said, “man this would be nice to have and they would put it in their cart.”

Noah asked the family if they had a freezer in their garage. The family responded that they have one but it’s almost entirely empty. They keep a few frivolous items for emergencies. Noah then stealthily took his cart towards the meat department. He then came back with hamburger, hot dogs and other meat items for their freezer. It was now time to go to the checkout line.

Julie said, “This is the most groceries I’ve ever seen in our cart ever.” She continued to eye over the vast quantity of food in the cart. She then said, “Mom we forgot peanut butter.”

Her mom said, “No, we got plenty of peanut butter.”

Julie responded, “Not the peanut butter with the peanuts in it. We need some of that.” So Julie ran to go pick up a jar of the crunchy peanut butter.

After they checked out and paid for their groceries. Noah then paid for his cart and said, “Here these are for you.”

Now the families were really feeling blessed. When they got outside, Noah asked the family that drove the van here if their van was paid off. They confirmed that it was. Noah then said, “Why don’t we transfer all the stuff out of your van into the Blue van. We will keep this one.”

If you could have seen the other van. It was old, dilapidated, and needed new tires. Noah was blessing the family with something much better. The family looked him in the eye and exclaimed, “Are you serious?”

Noah said, “God brought us here to give both of these vans away. The reason why we didn’t say anything earlier was because we wanted to see how you would react with us giving the van to the other family. Your heart was in God’s Kingdom. You passed the test and we want you two to have this other van.”

Noah signed the title over to the other family. The family then said, “We’re sorry that our van is such a mess. We want to clean it up before you take possession of it”

Noah said, “This van is not for us.”

Soon a white Cadillac showed up. A teenage boy was driving the car. He parked pretty close to us. Noah explained, “This is our grandson driving this Cadillac. I told him that all this would be done with about 11:30 a.m.”

Noah’s wife said, “We need to wait for the other family that is coming.”

Julie said, “What do you mean by another family.”

Noah’s wife said, “Your van is going to be given to another family that needs a van.”

Shortly, a Hispanic family came driving up by us. The boy driving the car dropped his family off and asked how long it would take. He wanted to go get coffee and bring some back to his family. We then heard the family that got out of the vehicle telling the driver how much they appreciated what he’s been doing to get them places. They said, “One of these days we are going to have our own vehicle and you won’t have to do this for us.”

That kid was definitely a trooper and reminded them that we are family and I do not mind taking care of you. This was Noah’s opportunity. He went up to the family and asked, “What would you say if somebody would give you a van? Would you take it?”

The husband said, “Yes, we would take it.”

Noah said, “Well then, this van is yours.”

The husband then said, “No way! You have got to be kidding me. Is this a joke or something?”

Noah said, “No, it is a blessing.” Noah then signed the title over to this family. This family also began crying when they begin to realize that they now have the ability to go places on their own.

It all started with Blue Mustang blessing two families. From there, the two families got additional groceries plus two almost new vans. The blessing was so powerful that the van they had was given to a third family who was also blessed. I love the way our King talks to people. Noah knew he was not going to be taking anything home because he knew God’s plan. His grandson coming to pick him up at just the right time shows us Noah was listening to God. Next week more families will be praying for a miracle. I cannot wait until my King sends me to them. God gets the Glory and the Victory as he reveals himself to those who ask him for help.

Miracle At The Stone Cross

It was Saturday morning and I just finished meeting with Blue Mustang for breakfast. I was heading towards Denver to bless families with the money he had given me. I was about ready to take the exit to the King Soopers that I usually go to but God said, “Sonny, keep going straight.” I continued heading southbound on I-25 and had no idea where God was going to take me.

I noticed a beautiful stone church on the right hand side of the road. You could really see the stone cross. At that moment God said, “You need to go to that church. I exited off the interstate to get there. In my mind, I was thinking, “Why do I need to go to church on a Saturday? People who are hungry are at the grocery stores?”

Before I finished my thought, God said, “There are two families there that are praying right now.”

I found out later that the wives were sisters. As I approached the church, I could see two families all lined up facing towards the big cross on the church. All of them are on their knees praying to God under the cross. As I moved closer, I shut down my music and idled my pickup down as I began to park. I carefully closed my pickup door so I would not disturb their praying.

I began to think about what they might be praying for. If they were hungry, they should be praying at a store. There’s no place to get food at a church. God then said, “Sonny, you do not understand. They do need food. The reason why the families came here to the church to pray was because they have nothing. They cannot buy food by any means that would honor me. They came to church to pray for a miracle.”

The entire family prayed. Each one said their own prayer including the kids. In one of the prayers, they said, “God, please let the money rain down on us so that we can buy groceries.”

The next one modified that prayer. The little girl said, “Let the money hit us on the head so that we can go buy groceries because I am hungry.”

The little boy said, “I want everything that my sister said but I sure would like some ice cream.”

Others were praying for ability to buy bologna just so they could make a sandwich. Another one of the kids was praying that they could just have a Snickers bar. I could tell they haven’t had a lot of these things in a while. I was within 17 feet of them as they prayed all of this.

After they finished praying, they stood up and I was right behind them. They looked at me and asked, “When did you get here?”

I said, “I have been here for a while. I have been listening to you while you’ve been praying. You have beautiful prayers. Just remember that God does answer prayers.” I paused for a moment then I said, “Let me tell you about Blue Mustang. God is using him to bless people with money so they can go buy groceries. I usually go to King Soopers but God said “not today.” He wanted me to stop here at this church where you were praying. When I came to you guys, you are already praying. I am proof that he answered your prayers. That is why I am here.”

The families asked, “Is Blue Mustang a person or a car?”

I said, “He is both. He is a person who drives a Mustang. The Latinos gave him that nickname.”

They were not sure what I meant by the Latinos. I then shared with them who they are. They were dumbfounded and said, “Wow!”

One of the wives said, “Blue Mustang is a Christian man who has a heart for God to help families like us.”

I said, “Yeah, that is correct.”

She then said, “Even if it is only $5 we are blessed to receive that.”

They were appreciative of whatever someone could give them. When I gave the money to them they were next to speechless. They just said, “Whoa!” The little girl then asked, “Does that mean that we can go and buy cereal and ice cream?”

Her mom confirmed that can happen. She then said, “We need to pray for Blue Mustang.”

The little girl then held her hand out towards me to get ready to pray. We all held hands and each one of them began saying a prayer. One of the wives, whose name was Martha, was gifted in prayer. Her prayer was powerful. When it came to the little girl, she started praying, “Thank you for Blue Mustang, thank you for his car and thank you that he walks barefoot.”

At that moment, the little girl kicked her shoes off into the center of the circle. Whenever I mention that he goes barefoot, many people are starting to take their shoes off. As we finished praying, all of the sudden a white Cadillac appears. A black couple steps out of the car. They must have gone to church here because they asked how we were doing and if we were here to do church clean up today. He said, “You guys do not look familiar to me. Do you go to church here?”

One of the husbands said, “No, we saw the cross and we decided to stop here to pray for a miracle. God brought this man to us to give us money so that we could buy groceries.”

They then shared that Blue Mustang gave me the money to give to them. The Cadillac driver humbly said, “So you guys do not have any groceries at all.”

The families said, “No, we are completely without. But God has changed all that.”

The kids started telling them all the things that they were craving and wanting to get. The wife of the Cadillac driver said, “I carry an envelope in the glove compartment of the car to bless families.”

This lady did not know how much money I gave to each couple. On the envelope it was written “$280 for families in need”. She said, “I always have $280 in the envelope just to bless families each month.” This is the third time that this has happened to me. God really likes the number $140 for families.

She then split her money up and gave $140 to each family just like I did. Martha revealed to her that Sonny has just given us $140 each. The wife said, “Wow! What does that mean? Because we both gave the same dollar amount.” She was running things through her mind trying to figure this out. She then said, “I am going to try to figure this out what this number signifies.”

The Cadillac family then prayed for Blue Mustang, then they prayed for me and the families. It is interesting that when we are obedient to God, how God always seems to multiply the money.

Martha then said, ” I need to meet with my sister and we need to start making a list of what we need to buy in the store.”

They went to the cross that day and they dropped everything there because they were out of options. They had to rely on God 100%. They had no idea how it would come about. And now because of surrendering it all to God, they are now making a list to buy groceries.

The Cadillac couple invited the families to come to the King Soopers store near this church at 1 p.m. I was also invited to go shopping with them. Even though it was several hours away, I went ahead and had breakfast with a gang and talk about Jesus Christ with them. Nine of them gave their hearts to Jesus Christ today. What was interesting, the gang continued to listen to what I had to say. But when it became time for me to go to the store at 1 p.m., they just left. I was now free to go shopping with the families.

The Cadillac couple brought their brothers and sisters along at 1 p.m. to go shopping. They also drove white Cadillacs. I introduced myself and Blue Mustang to them. The Cadillac families wanted to know more about Blue Mustang. They were curious how God would just pull somebody out like that. I said, “No, it was not random. He was chose to bless people. He was also chosen to bless the gangs with food. Some friends of mine do all the cooking for me. They too are blessing to God’s Ministry.”

When I told them that he goes barefoot. They all took their shoes off and said, “Let’s go barefoot into the store.” The little girl said, “Yes” and threw her shoes into the van. They all made the trek barefoot into the store. The Cadillac families gave three carts to each family to fill. They said, “This gives Glory to God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Buy the things that you need and get some of the things that you want.”

As we started shopping, people began staring at us. We could not figure out why unless it was because we were all barefoot.

I talked to the little girl and ask her if she bought any ice cream or candy. She answered, “Yes, I bought a little but we needed to make sure we had hamburger, romaine noodles and other things to make meals with. Both families had all three of their carts full. They even had the bottom rack packed with groceries. Both of their husbands were Dr. Pepper lovers. But due to their circumstances, they have not been able to drink one for a long time. They stocked up getting 1 case of Dr. Pepper each. They both promised not to drink more than one can a day. Both families had enough groceries to last a month.

When they were ready to pay, the manager came over and got both families set up with King Sooper cards so they could get credit for all the groceries they bought. He then told the families “I am here at the store Monday through Friday and anytime you want to talk to me you just give me a call.”

There has to be something with King Soopers and God. It seems like their employees are more apt to bless other people. I just don’t notice it as much at other stores. I do know that God does like that word “King” on front of the name because he is definitely the best King one could have.

After the families loaded all their groceries into their vehicles, they surrounded the Cadillac families and prayed over them. Jerome, one of the Cadillac owners, said, “We are blessed so that we can bless other people. Just as Jesus came to serve so are we to serve.”

When we are representing Jesus Christ, we are commanded to go out there and “just do it”.

I started laughing. They asked me what was so funny. I started talking about the boys in the Bronx and how they read the stories on the website. They really like God’s answer when I question him and he says “just do it”. I told them about my last phone call I had with them. They said, “Sonny, when God told you to just do it, it sounds so powerful, we are starting to say “just do it” when we allow God to bless a family. When we were getting ready to pay, we started laughing because a young girl had a “just do it” t-shirt on.”

The Cadillac families started laughing also. They then said, “We want to get some of those shirts too.”

Jerome then said, “No we are going to make our own t-shirts. Ours are going to say ‘just do it in the name of Jesus’.”

God has revealed to me that there will always be gangs and families in need. Blue Mustang and I are blessed to be able to serve both situations. Again, God gets the Glory and the Victory. I just get to see it.

God Changes Things Up Just Because He Can

It was Saturday morning and I finished breakfast with Blue Mustang. Out of habit, I went to the King Soopers I usually go to assuming the families would be there. I never really took time to even ask God if that’s where he wanted me to go. I parked and I sat there for 5 minutes when God asked, “Did I tell you to come here?”

I sheepishly said, “No.”

God then said, “I want you to start heading south on I-25.”

As I was driving for a while, God told me to take the next exit. By the time I got there I was pretty well on the south and east side of Denver. As I was driving through the parking lot of that King Soopers, God suddenly said, “Stop!”

It seemed like there was nothing going on here, it was pretty dead. It didn’t take long though and people began arriving to go shopping. As I continued to observe my surroundings, God said, “Sonny, look to your left and you will see a U-Haul truck.”

I saw the truck and a van. I noticed a husband and wife standing in front of the van. The kids must have been still sleeping in the van because it looked like they had been traveling all night. They just looked beat. God said, “This family needs money to finish their trip.”

I started questioning God again and said, “This money is for groceries.”

And God said, “Yes, it will be used for groceries. But it is also for gas.”

I grabbed my Bible before I headed over to talk to them. I have discovered that the word of God brings peace to the people I talk to. When they see the Word and what I wear on my t-shirts, they assume that I’m a minister of some kind. I walked up to them and said, “How can I pray for you guys?”

They then shared, “We are traveling to Michigan but are going through Kansas first to see some family. We have a long way to go just to get to Kansas. From there on our family will help us get to Michigan. Right now, we are tapped out and are trying to figure out how we can put gas in our van and truck to get to Kansas. We would even like to get some lunch meat and bread to make some sandwiches during the trip there.”

I said, “Well, let me tell you about Blue Mustang. God uses him in this ministry. He gives me money to give to families. He wants to bless families with groceries or even gas if it’s necessary.”

God likes to bring me to King Soopers stores because he likes the word “King”. It has nothing to do with the store but he definitely is an amazing King. About this time they began crying as I handed them the money. The family said, “This is going to help so much.”

Again, I had the money sorted out into $140 envelopes. But God said, “Give them both envelopes.”

I began to question God again and said, “I know there’s two families that you want to bless today.”

God said, “Sonny, just do it!”

I then handed the second envelope to them. I did not realize but there was a couple drinking their Starbucks Coffee sitting directly behind me with their windows rolled down listening to what was going on.

The family then questioned me and said, “You always give to two families but we are only one.”

I said, “It doesn’t matter. God said for me to give it all to you guys.”

They even cried more as I handed them the additional money. They said, “Man, we are now able to buy some gas. Then, we are going to go into the store and get some groceries for our trip to Kansas. Wow!”

They drove off towards the gas pumps. After they were gone, the Starbucks couple got out of their car and came over to my pickup. They said, “We were listening to everything that was going on. What you just did was so beautiful!”

They then pulled out $140 and gave it to me and said, “This is the $140 for the next family that you are going to provide for.”

This couple wanted to make sure that another family did not miss out on the blessing that they were going to get. They then said, “If you are that obedient to God, we are going to trust you with this money to bless another family.”

Meanwhile, the traveling husband was filling the U-Haul truck and van with gas while his wife was shopping for groceries in the store. The Starbucks couple that gave me the $140 went over to the pumps and paid for the husband’s gas with his credit card. The Starbucks couple came back and prayed for me. I was still holding my Bible in my hand as they prayed for me. Another family pulled up right next to us. They said, “We saw you with a Bible and praying with this couple. Could you pray for us also? We could use some food.”

Then I realized, while I was fighting God, here the second family showed up. See how awesome our God is. He can turn anything around so that the families he wanted to bless got blessed. God knew the couple drinking coffee was going to provide me with $140. He held the second family back until I received it. Then in his timing, brought the second family to me.

I prayed with that second couple. Then I shared with them how Blue Mustang has a heart for families and handed them the $140. They too began to cry as they saw the miracle.

Their little girl asked, “Does that mean we get to buy cereal this time?” She then looked at me and asked, “Mister, what’s your favorite cereal?”

I said, “Captain Crunch.”

She said, “Yeah, I love Captain Crunch. I even like to put it on my ice cream.”

I said, “You even put it on your ice cream.”

The little girl sighed, “Yeah, it is so delicious.”

The second family thanked me over and over again for blessing them. I made sure they knew it was entirely God who brought me here to them. They then asked, “Can we pray for you?”

I acknowledge that I would like that. The parents prayed for me. Their 7 year old daughter began praying for Blue Mustang first then me. I then tried to explain to her more about Blue mustang and what he does. She then asked, “Is he a car like one of those hot rods?”

I said, “Yes, it’s a Blue one and it is a hot rod.”

She said, “That is so cool. I just never knew that cars could talk.”

I laughed and said, “No, it is a man who has a Blue Mustang. The Latino gang, that I have been witnessing to, gave him that nickname.”

I noticed that the little girl was barefoot. I then said, “Blue Mustang is just like you. He doesn’t wear shoes either.”

The little girl exclaimed, “Thank God there is another person who is just like me!”

The mom rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t encourage her. I’m always having to tell her to put her shoes on.”

After I explained more about Blue Mustang to her she then said, “That makes sense. I’m going to start not wearing my shoes also.”

The woman’s husband looked at her and said, “Don’t get any ideas about doing that.”

She then replied, “If I feel like going barefoot, I am going to take my shoes off. I don’t care.”

After the husband of the Starbucks couple put gas in the first family’s car, he came back and noticed that I had been praying for another family. I explained to him that the money he gave me had been used to bless this family because they needed groceries. Then the husband said, “Oh yeah, do you need gas?”

They replied, “Yeah, we are also running low on gas.”

He then said, “Let’s take a trip to the gas pumpsso I can fill your vehicle with gas.”

He led that family to the pumps to fill their car with gas. The lady who was working the pumps watched him topping off all these different vehicles with gas and said, “You know, my vehicle’s pretty low on gas also. Do you want to fill mine up?”

He replied, “Yeah, just bring it over.”

She said, “I’m just kidding!” She paused a moment then said, “You know what you have done here today has restored my faith in people. I am so used to people just doing things for themselves. This is so refreshing to see what you are doing. We should be givers and not takers.”

He then said, “Jesus Christ came to serve, not to be served.” He then paid for the gas.

They were a lot of blessings given this morning. It was now time to go and get the burritos to witness to the gangs. They had just called me asking where I was at because it was unusual for me to be this late. With God, I am never late. As I was about to leave, the Starbucks couple ask me how the gas was doing in my pickup. I said, “It’s half full.”

The husband said, “That is not acceptable! Take your pickup over to the pumps and let me fill it up!”

His wife then looked over at him and said, “This is so fun that you are doing this. You hardly ever do stuff like this.”

I then said to the husband, “There’s probably another family that needs to be blessed.”

The husband then looked intently at me and said, “You are blessing families, witnessing to gangs all over the world, driving everywhere to save girls, so, let’s get over to those pumps and get you filled up!” The husband still looking at me intently said, “God gets the Victory and the Glory! Sonny just remember that.”

As he began filling my pickup, the lady said to us, “Is this ever going to stop?”

The husband said, “Only when God tells me to stop.”
