Cartel Gives Hearts to Jesus

It was Sunday and I went down to Denver to meet with the gangs I spoke with yesterday. By the time I got finished with them it was almost dark. I was sitting on a picnic table and began thanking the Lord for what just happened. By the time all their families picked everybody up there was over 140 people there. Both gangs went home with their families.

As I was still sitting on the picnic table, I looked over to my left and noticed three black Cadillacs pulling up beside me. These are the kind of cars that the cartels drive. I said, “Lord, give me wisdom to speak to these guys.” I am not scared of them anymore because I have learned that God decides when I am going to live or die. After they stopped, five men got out of the Cadillacs. I have met this cartel before. What was unusual this time is that they did not have any weapons pointed on me. I begin thinking about when I told Blue Mustang that the only people now who point guns at me are from the cartels. Blue Mustang then said, “Let’s pray to God and ask that even cartels will put their guns away when they see the word of God.” I vividly remember that prayer that he made over me when they had their guns holstered.

The men who were nicely dressed began walking towards me. The leader came up to me and said, “You must be Sonny. We have heard that you always tell the gangs around here about Jesus Christ. You have even talk to our girls about Jesus Christ. My name is Salvador. I was also raised in church. I have forgotten what it means to serve God. I have been telling my team that I am tired of hurting people. In my profession we sell drugs to people which are devastating to their lives. I have been thinking how my profession just brings destruction to people’s life but what you do is bring life into people, just the opposite what I do. I am just sick of what I have been doing to people.”

I reminded the leader that it is the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ that provides that life into people. Only the Holy Spirit can transform a heart. He gets the glory and the victory for that.

The leader then asked, “We are here to ask that you pray for us. We got rid of everything. Now we want Jesus in our hearts. We want to start a new life and go back to our families.”

As soon as he said “families”, nine more Cadillacs pulled up. The rest of his crew showed up. I was thinking that they are angry for what their boss was about to do. But God said, “No”. They all got out of their cars and walked towards me. The leader looked over his shoulder and said, “These are all my boys. I gave them the option of serving Jesus Christ or to continue what they were doing. I have been looking for you today. When we saw your truck, we noticed that you were praying for these gangs. We wanted to make sure that we do not interfere with while you praying for them, so we just waited until they left.”

The men from the other cars came up and asked Salvador if he has given his life to Jesus Christ yet. Salvador replied, “No, I have not.”

His men then said, “Well, we are right on time then. We have been thinking about what you said. Going back to our families and starting a new life, that is what we want to do also. We are also done with this life. We are done hurting people. We don’t want to hurt people anymore.”

I began thinking about the first time I met these guys and started talking to them about Jesus Christ even though they wanted nothing to do with me. I planted seeds in their lives when I left them. Those seeds have matured and now these men want to give their lives to Jesus Christ. As all the men began given their lives to Jesus Christ, they begin to cry uncontrollably. Even more so than I’ve seen it any time while I’ve been witnessing to the gangs and cartels. God is totally healing their hearts and their minds. These guys have hurt a lot of people but surrendered it all for Jesus Christ.

They began calling their parents to tell them what they have done and that they are ready to come home. I chuckled and begin to think that I was just about done for the night and God had something cool happen just before my eyes. You can listen to the entire story below:

Valentines Cards Bring Gang to Jesus Christ

I headed off to the Commerce City park to meet the gang that my King gave me instructions to see. When I got there, I noticed that two gangs were there. Usually when I see two gangs facing each other, they are usually about ready to start fighting. But not these two gangs, they look like they were talking with each other. I had the music playing on my pickup and both gangs turned their heads in my direction. After I parked, they started walking towards me. I asked Lord what is going on here. God said, “They want to know me.”

I then proceeded to get out of my pickup and put my tailgate down so I could arrange the coolers for breakfast. The gang leader that I knew was called James. I asked, “James, what’s going on?”

James said, “I am getting tired of this life. When you gave us those valentines cards, we filled them out for our families and it made us think of what we have been missing. This gang here also wanted some of those valentines cards to give to their parents.”

I replied, “James, I have some of them for these guys right here.”

James then asked, “How can God really forgive us? We really have done a lot of bad things.”

The other gang was intently listening to our dialogue. I had no idea who these guys were. Their leader was really interested when James began talking about Jesus Christ. James then said, “We do not want to go home with broken hearts. We want to go home with transformed hearts like you said Sonny. What do we have to do to do that?”

I replied, “You just need to confess your sins to Jesus Christ and give your heart to him. He will forgive and forget your past sins.” I could tell that James was really close to giving his heart to God.

I finally found out why the other gang was here. They were getting so hungry that they felt like they had no other option but to ask the other gang if they had any food that they could share. They did not want to fight at all. James told the new gang about me always having burritos and drinks when I came. The new gang leader, who they called Isaac, said that he would stick around two see if I showed up. James then gave Isaac a big box of chips to hold them over. James had shared what he had with the new gang.

Isaac then asked, “Sonny, do you have enough burritos for us?”

I replied, “Yes, I do. You can help me get more coolers down.”

Isaac was really craving Dr. Pepper and asked me if I had any. I replied, “Yes, see that cooler over there. It is fuller of Dr. Pepper.”

Isaac then said, “Yep, that’s our favorite drink.”

They all began to eat breakfast. James came up to me and said, “I memorized the Bible verse John 3:16 you talked about last time we met.” He then quoted it to me. It wasn’t perfect but it was real close. James then shared with me that when I give him a Bible that he just threw it in the trunk of his car. But one night he could not sleep and he had to get it out and start reading it. Then he began trying to memorize that verse. He then said, “My gang and I all want to go home. We all need prayer because most of our fathers were alcoholics. We do not want to go home to fathers who are like that. That is the reason why I ran away.”

I replied, “Let’s pray over that.” I looked over at the other gang to see what they were doing. They were still intently listening to everything that was going on, not saying a single word. We began praying for the fathers of James’s gang. I then looked over at Isaac and asked him if he would like me to pray over his family. Isaac said, “Yes, that would be awesome.”

After I finished praying for the families of both gangs, James then said, “I am ready to give my heart to Jesus Christ now. I am speaking only for myself but if my men want to accept Jesus that would be great.”

His men chimed in, “Yes we too are already to go home to and accept Jesus Christ.” They began asking Jesus to forgive all their sins. Then they asked him to come into their hearts. Isaac’s gang began to cry as James’s gang made that commitment to Jesus Christ. Soon James and his gang began crying. They began asking me what is going on with me right now? I replied, “The Holy Spirit is transforming your heart right now.”

Soon all of James’s men began calling home to their parents to tell them what just happened. I looked toward Isaac and asked, “Isaac do you want your names written in the Lamb’s book of life? Just remember that tomorrow is never promised not even for me.”

Isaac replied, “Is it really that easy to have Jesus come into your life? I don’t even know if I have a home to come back to. I am not even sure if my mom and dad will even take me back.”

I replied, “God even knows their hearts. You make your heart right first and he will take care of their hearts to. You can help them with that.”

Isaac the answered, “Okay, I am going to do that. I am ready to give my heart to Jesus too.” As the Holy Spirit began to transfer Isaac’s heart he began shaking. Isaac exclaimed, “I don’t know what’s going on with me right now but I’m just shaking.”

James came over and replied, “It is Jesus transforming your heart. Now we are brothers in Jesus Christ.”

Soon Isaac began to call his father to ask for forgiveness. In the process, Isaac’s dad said, “After you left, I gave up drinking. I now serve the Lord.” Isaacs mom confirmed that everything he said was true. Isaac’s dad began to share with him all the things what they been doing to serve God and that his room was exactly as it was when he left home. They also shared that they’ve been praying for him every day.

Soon the park became full of families coming to pick up their sons to take them home. Both gangs end up giving their hearts to Jesus Christ. You can listen to the entire story here:

The 3rd Family

It was Saturday February 4th when God put into Blue Mustang’s heart that there was going to be a 3rd family. I felt it to but I wasn’t sure. So he gave me some extra money. I left for the ghetto and did not think much of it anymore. When I arrived, there were over 100 people praising God. It is always fun to watch them worship. They do not allow time to interfere with their worship. They give up their Saturday mornings because they love God. They would be rather be worshiping him then doing their own thing.

I do believe that churches should be just like these guys. We should give God whatever time that he needs. Sometimes God will enjoy just having us just give praise to his holy name. Other times he wants to give us encouragement. Or he may want to share a word to us of the prophetic. We should not prevent the Holy Spirit from doing what he wants.

After they finished worshiping, God blessed the two new families with money. I told them that there is going to be a 3rd family. The families gathered around me and began to pray for that third family. They then anointed the money that I was going to give them. It was time for me to leave. The two families that were blessed went shopping because they were very hungry. As as I left the parking lot, I looked in my rearview mirror and noticed that Lydia was still praying for me. That little girl is anointed by God.

God directed me down a different street that I haven’t been on before. I never knew that there was another grocery store here in this area. This looks like one of those mom-and-pop grocery stores. Boy, everything sure looks run down around here. This grocery store looked like it had been here a long time. I looked down the alley by the store and noticed a family behind the grocery store. I saw a grocery cart and some people standing up against the dumpsters. Soon a person from the store walked outside with a box of fruit. They put that box of fruit on a table that was outside. The family began rummaging through the fruit. I did not drive up on them right away because I wanted to make sure that that was the family that God wanted. I have seen people digging in trash cans all the time. God then said, “This is the family.”

I parked my truck on the east side of the store. I got out with my Bible and walked around the corner to where they were at. I saw the father praying to God thanking him for the fruit. His little daughter then asked, “God, if you are real, could you give us a miracle today. I am really craving cereal.”

I kept myself hidden because I did not want to interrupt their prayer time. It is something amazing just to be able to listen to people’s hearts speak. I walked up to them after they finished praying still holding my Bible. I said, “Good morning, how are you guys doing today.”

Their little daughter piped up and said, “I think it is closer to noon right now.”

I replied, “Yes, it is pretty close to lunchtime.”

She then asked, “Are you a preacher?”

I replied, “I am. I minister out on the streets. I minister to gangs, families, and the lost and the brokenhearted.”

She exclaimed, “Wow, you have quite a job!” she paused a moment then asked, “Would you like a banana?”

I almost started crying because this family did not have very much but she was willing to give some of what they had. I replied, “Sure, I will have a banana.”

She even started peeling it for me. Her dad,
Samuel said, “Could you pray for us? We really could use a miracle right now. We need groceries today.”

I prayed with them. As I finished, I said, “Let me tell you something about who Blue Mustang is and how God is using him to bless families who need help.” I then gave them testimonies on how God is using Blue Mustang to help families in the ghetto area.

Samuel then said, “That would be a miracle today.” He then pointed and said, “We live over there.” It was like one of those buildings where a bunch of families lived together in a complex. Such each apartment has two bedrooms. They are very small. He then said, “I have started a job at the oil refinery in Commerce City. But I will not get paid until Wednesday. We are really hungry right now and we are stretched out to the limit right now.”

His son Joshua stepped in and said, “The only thing that we have is one Apple in our refrigerator.”

I looked at Joshua and asked, “Joshua, do you believe in miracles?”

He said, “Yes, I am a even a miracle. When I was born I only weighed 4 pounds but look at me now. I am strong and healthy but I sure could use some Cap’n Crunch cereal right now.”

I began to cry. I just could not hold back the tears. I knew that God did not want me to hold them back. The little boy came over and began hugging me saying, “Everything is going to be all right mister. God is faithful.”

He said that not knowing what I was about to do. I finally gave them the money. As they began to count it, Joshua was watching. He said, “We are now multimillionaires.”

A girl and the manager of the store came out to greet us. They said, “We have heard everything that you guys have been talking about. How can we not help out with this family.” The girl said, “We have a grocery cart going for you guys. I have loaded it with Cap’n Crunch cereal but haven’t got the milk yet because we don’t wanted to spoil.”

Before everybody went inside the store, they prayed with me. As the family walked inside, the manager said, “I am going to pay half their bill. I know how it is to not have anything. I also know what it’s like to have plenty. It is right thing to do. God bless Blue Mustang whoever he is.”

Joshua turned around and asked, “Is Blue Mustang a car or something?”

I said, “No, he is not car but he definitely has one.”

Joshua replied, “He is our new hero!”

It is time for me to leave now because of the gangs I need to talk to. As I headed down the street, I noticed fire trucks parked in the direction that I was going. I could not continue because they blocked the entire street. So I began to back up. One of the firefighters came over and asked, “Are you Sonny? Because I have seen your truck over on the east side. I have seen you witnessing to the gangs. What are you up to?”

I began to share with him the testimony of what happened. He then asked, “Is there really a grocery store down that road?”

I then told him it doesn’t really look much like a store. After he heard about what the manager did with the family he said, “We are going to go by there later to buy our groceries.”

That store does not get that many customers because of where it is located. The fire department went there and bought all their groceries there for the week. This really blessed that store because not many people go there. The fire department filled the grocery cart full of groceries. When they went to check out, that manager began to cry. They spent a lot of money there today. The manager then said, “Come back anytime.”

The firefighter then said, “I am going to tell our other shifts to come here. We just did not know you were here.”

Just because the manager blessed his family, God brought the fire department to the manager’s store. God really does believe in blessing those who bless others. You can listen to the entire story here:
