Chicago Gangs Meet Jesus

The Chicago undercover cops called me earlier and asked if I’d be willing to go Chicago and talk to four gangs. One of the gangs belonged to the MS13. These gangs are very violent and they’re always constantly shooting everything around them. It is impossible for anyone else to go in. They know the power of my King from a previous encounter of a MS13 gang. No gang, no matter how strong they are can stand against my King and his Kingdom. They are starting to realize this when they asked for my help. My King gave me thumbs up to go to Chicago. I made arrangements for the undercover police to pick me up in Denver. The jet came for me Saturday morning at the Denver International Airport. Before we took off, God wanted me to pray for the pilots. Both pilots were Christians. One of the pilots rededicated his heart to Jesus Christ. I also prayed with the women that took care of all of us during the flight. While we were in the air, my King started showing me how this gang was going to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. God wanted me to pray for them first and then read John 3:16 to them. As we flew over Chicago, my King said, “My Kingdom has gone before you and with you.” That means he has already cleared a path for me to do his will. This is as awesome as parting the Red Sea.

The pilots yelled, “Hey, Sonny we will be flying over the the houses where the gang members live.” The cameras mounted on the bottom of the jet transmitted images to the big screen TV in the living room. The homes the gangs took over were beautiful mansions at one time. I could see that there must have been a big party. There were passed out people all over the grounds around the homes the pictures. The Holy Spirit showed me a girl siting on the ground in the alley between all the houses. My King said, “She is praying to me right now. She is praying; if you are real can you get me out of here. Sonny, go get a bus and get all the girls.” After we landed, I thanked everyone on the plane and prayed with them again. The undercover police picked me up and they gave me high fives. Then they prayed for me and asked, “Sonny, what do you need?”

I said, “I need a bus. My King wants to take a bus and rescue the girls in that area as soon as possible.”

They replied, “Sonny, it is to dangerous for you to drive through that neighborhood. You will never make it!”

I exclaimed, “Whenever my King gives me a go as he did today, he will send the magnificent seven again that went before me when I witnessed to the MS13 gang the last time. They will clear a path before me again.” They finally gave in because they have seen the power of my King in action before. They dropped me off where a school bus was. They showed me how the bus works before I started my journey. It was weird driving through that neighborhood. The gangs must have quickly taken over the neighborhood. There are skeletons of late model and expensive cars that the gangs torched sitting all along the street. It looked like the residents had to leave very quickly without having a chance to take anything along with them. There also is a lots of visible damage from all the shooting going on. I drove past a large gang carrying automatic weapons. Their heads turned as they watched me drive past their location. Not a single weapon was raised as I passed. They were probably bewildered, wondering what a bus was doing here.

When I was two blocks from the houses, I walked to the alley where the girl was sitting down on the ground in the same spot I observed in the jet. I walked up to her said, “Hi!” She turned around and looked at me. She then said, “Who are you?”

I said, “My name is Sonny.” She responded, “My name is Kara.”

She asked, “What are you doing here?”

I responded, “My King sent me here to rescue you. I’m sorry you are crying.”

Kara said, “It’s ok. I have been praying for a miracle because I wanted to runaway from here. I was praying that God would send someone to help us girls.” Earlier in the day before the party began, she told all the girls to remain sober so that when the men became drunk and abusive that it would be easier to push them off. It looks like somebody already had pushed her. She had leaves all over her hair like somebody threw her into a bush.

I said, “My King showed me when you began praying. He brought me here to rescue all of you girls.” I then said, “My King gets all the Glory and the Victory.”

Kara excitedly said, “I’ll go and tell all the girls that we are leaving this place.”

I began praying for her that God would help her and give her the words to speak to all of the girls. My King then told me, “Go and stand by the south east gate near the trees and wait for the girls. As I continued praying for the girls, the south east gate opened and all the girls started walking towards me. I had no idea how many would be coming. As the girls went through the Gate, I counted 78 girls. Kara then closed the gate. As they came near me, I said, “Do not look back. That life is over.” We began walking back to the bus that I hid in a grove of trees. The girls started to cry. Some of them were holding my hands and putting their hands on my back when we got to the bus. Now, all the girls were crying very hard as they sat down on the seats in the bus. When everyone was onboard and the bus started moving, they started to laugh when they realized that it is actually happening. They were excited to go back to their families. They started calling their parents on their phones. You could hear the parents crying and their excitement on the other end of the calls to get their daughters back. I drove past the same gang with automatic weapons.  Their heads turned as I drove past. Again, no weapons were raised against us as I watched in my side mirrors. I bet that my King is working on their hearts right now and he may want me to come back and witness to these guys in the future. As of this writing, he has confirmed that I will be seeing them again.

The undercover police gave me directions to a safe place where all their parents could come and get them. When we arrived, all the girls ran out to greet their parents. Again, they began crying when hugging  their parents. I asked, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life, come and stand by me. All the girls and their parents came forward and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory and has more plans for me tonight. The undercover cops checked the bus to count the bullet holes. They said, “No way! No one has been able to drive in that area without getting shot up.” They still have a difficult time understanding how powerful my King is. Some of the girls shared that they have been praying for a miracle to get out of here. Others shared that they had my ministry card and almost called me several times. I asked them, “How did you come into possession of my cards in the first place?”

They replied, “We had some girls that came from a MS-13 gang that you witnessed to earlier and brought Jesus Christ to them. They came to share Jesus Christ with us. They handed me your card and told me that you were from Colorado but that didn’t matter. Just call the number on this card if you need help.” Isn’t it cool how the Holy Spirit uses people you share Jesus Christ with to do the same thing. Those obedient girls helped prepare the girls to be ready for just what happened now.

Saturday night, after all the Girls had gone home with their parents, God said, “Sonny, I want you to get up at 1 a.m.  Go anoint the front of the gangs homes and their sidewalks. Finish up by anointing the streets all the way back to the undercover police car that is waiting for you.” I called the undercover police and told them what my King’s plans were.  They made arrangements to pick me up at that time. The undercover police dropped me off two blocks away. As I started walking, it felt like I was walking in the Valley of Death. It was silent while I was praying but as soon as I stopped, the shooting started up again around the surrounding areas. All of the homes had security fences and gates that surrounded the homes. Kara knew the code to all the gates so that I could walk inside and anoint the homes. All the gates used the same code. I did as my King asked without any interruptions then went back to my room. Early Sunday morning, my King said, “Sonny, at 7 a.m. anoint all the Bible’s and the Crosses. Put the Bible’s and Crosses on the trays and set them up on tables in front of all the homes you anointed earlier.” Then my King said, “Walk away and go pray for the day.” My King had me come back at 10 a.m. All the tables and trays were exactly as I left them. Nothing was taken or touched. I stood in front of all the homes. All the guys started walking out and began yelling, “You made a big mistake standing in front of us.” As I looked them over, my King started showing me their broken hearts. I could see their lips moving but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. They kept looking at all the trays with the Bible’s and the Crosses on them but never went by them. All of them had their pistols aimed at me. All four gang leaders walked up to me and said, “Who are you?”

I said, “My name is Sonny. I was sent to you guys by my King.”

They asked, “Who’s your King?”

I said, “His name is Jesus Christ.” Then two of the leaders recognized me. One said, “Your the one that tells gang members about Jesus Christ. I stabbed you two years ago.”

I said, “Yes it’s me and I have forgiven you like my King has forgiven me.”

One of the other leaders said, “You are not walking away from here. You are going to die here today.” This is a common phrase I hear all the time. I have learned that when an obstacle this serious occurs, always pray for it or someone. It is no different this time. I said, “Before you guys shoot me, let me read a verse that my King wants you to hear. Then I’ll pray with all of you and ask if there’s any of you that want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I will pray again with those guys and then you can shoot me.” I began by reading John 3:16 and I John 14:6 to them. I explained those verses to them. I could see some of them had tears in their eyes. Just before I was going to pray with them, my King said to also read Matthew 6:33 to them. I continued by praying for all of them. Then I asked, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life come and stand by me. ” As I stood there with my Bible, my King said, “Sonny, raise the word of God to them and tell them that I love them and want them to go back to their families.”  After I did what my King asked,  the leaders came first and stood by me. They put their weapons away and said, “We want a new life and a new purpose.” Then the rest of the gang members came to me. They too, came forward to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. I had a chance to pray for each one. When the first one started to cry, that’s when they all started crying and asked, “Can God really forgive us of all our sins like you said Sonny?”

I said, “Yes and he will forget all your sins. You just need to ask Jesus into your hears.” I then said, “The Crosses and the Bible’s are for all of you who accept Jesus Christ. Do not take anything if you don’t want Jesus Christ to be part of your life. ” All 72 men accepted Jesus Christ that morning. They all called their parents who immediately came for them. The ones that needed a ride entered the bus I brought to get to the safe place. I had a chance to meet all their parents and families. They too all gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. The guys thanked me for being bold and telling us about Jesus Christ. They said, “No one has ever come to tell us that Jesus Christ loves us. Thank you for being brave.”

I said, “Someone came to me and told me that Jesus Christ loves me too. It’s about obedience to our King.” The story is not over. Before I had a chance to even write anything down. One of the gang leaders went to his grandfather who is sick in the hospital. He took his Bible and went up to pray for his grandfather. His grandfather knew Jesus Christ but was surprised to see the Bible in his hand. The gang leader shared about what happened. He then started praying for his grandfather. A doctor, who is a Christian, was listening. He commented to the gang leader about what a powerful testimony that was to his grandfather.

Bean Bags Save Girls Life

I had a few moments to take a breather and I was thinking about some of the unusual things that God has done in my life. I remembered an event that occurred last summer around 6 pm. That evening I was tired and went to bed early to catch up on my sleep. I was almost asleep when my King said, “Sonny, I need you to get a pickup load of bean bags and take them to I-25 and 144th in Denver.” You can imagine the thoughts running through my head why my King may want with bean bags. Plus, he never gave me an idea where I might find some. I was clueless and began to wonder where I could get bean bags. My first thought was to see the undercover police down in Denver. I asked, “Do you know where I can get some bean bags?”

With a puzzled look on his face, he asked, “Who do you want to hit?”

I said, “I have no idea what I am going to do with them. All my King said is to fill the back of my pickup with bean bags and park under the bridge on 144th.”

He then said, “Yeah, we have all kinds of rooms full of them. We use them to throw at each other to release stress and just to have some fun. We have all sizes of them here. Back up to the double doors and we will load you up.” The filled my pickup box to the brim. I then drove to 144th on I-25. As I began to slow down in the far right lane, my King told to stop just past the overpass. As I came to a complete stop, my King said, “You went to far. Back up five feet and stop. Now, I want you to get out of the pickup and witness my power.” So I got out of my pickup but I was focusing on the bean bags. My King then said, “No Sonny, look up.” As I turned my head upward, suddenly this girl comes flying off the overpass. It appeared that she was thrown because I saw the set of hands supporting here body at the top of the overpass. As she comes down, she rotated her body mid-air and landed on her back, dead center in the back of my pickup. The bean bags cushioned her fall saving her life. Being a gymnast, her quick reflexes enabled her body to spin around and position her body so she landed on the bean bags perfectly. My King loved this girl so much that he did not want her killed. He has other plans for her life. Dazzed, she sat up and looked at me and said, “You saved my life.” She got up and gave me a hug. I am sure she was wondering why anyone would be parked under an overpass with a pickup filled with bean bags. I said, “My name is Sonny. My King sent me here with a pickup load of bean bags. He told me to park in this exact spot. I had no idea what why I was here. Then my King wanted me to see how powerful he is. He told me to look up and I saw how he made sure that you would have a safe place to land.” I then asked her some questions about why they might have done that to her. She replied, “I was thrown over the overpass because I wasn’t doing what they wanted me to do. At first, I ran away from them and that made them angry. They finally found me and they wanted to make an example of me of what happens to people when you leave the gang.” After all that happened to her and witnessing the power of my King she was ready to make a life change. She decided then and now to accept Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. I prayed for her for a fresh renewal of her life with Jesus Christ. After we finished praying, I took her to the parent’s home.

While this was all going on, the undercover cops happened to be videotaping another event at this location and they caught the whole thing on video. They had enough evidence to charge the gang members. Even though the gang members think she is dead, they still have to changed her identity. This will protect her from future attacks just in case they would find her again. It is great that no matter what we may have done in our past, our King will take us back if we are willing to change our lives for him. I just wonder how many other people who have done what the King asks to bring someone back to the King’s home. I know you are out there and I too want to thank you for being obedient to our King and bringing his children home. It is very gratifying to be able to serve the King in this manner.

I then took the bean bags back where I got them. I asked, “What do you want me to do with all the bean bags?” An undercover cop replied, “Let’s unload them in the same spot you picked them up.” I backed my pickup up to the door. As I was getting ready to unload them, a couple guys came out to help. It was starting to get dark and the undercover police were having a short meeting before they went to work. The weather was nice so the meeting was held outside. The one guy looked at the other and said, “Are you ready to have some fun?” The other guy said, “Yeah! ” We all followed him carrying the bean bags to a room on the second floor. The windows happened to be facing the meeting tables. They both opened all the facing windows. The guys looked at me and said, “Get ready to launch!” They got me to join in. We started launching bean bags outside from our vantage point. Some of them knocked the coffee cups completely off the table. The guys below picked up the bags on the ground and threw them back at us. We had a full-fledged bean bag war going on. Everybody was laughing and having a good time. They eventually asked what happened and intently listened to my story of what happened. They too were awed by the power of my King. Now they blame me for what happened that night. Every time I now come into the building, I get popped by a bean bag. This definitely was an exciting and fun day. As I finish writing this story, my King has told me that it is time to bring his Kingdom to this gang.

Can Animals Sense the Holy Spirit?

Jesus told his disciples after he would rise from the dead and he would ascend into heaven that he would send the comforter or the Holy Spirit to be with them and even for us. The Holy Spirit of course we know is a figure of peace and security. He usually speaks softly and he’s what is considered a pleasant personality. Of course don’t get me wrong he can move with extreme power while speaking softly. I know the kids can sense the presence of the Holy Spirit. Many times I go into stores to buy food for the gangs and I’m always having young kids, especially those from Christian homes, come up to me and say, “Could I please have a hug?” It almost happens every time I’m in a store. The most gratifying moment was in a Walmart store. This kid comes up to me while his mom is nearby. He points to me and he says, “Mom, that’s the guy that’s supposed to pray for us.”

Looking bewildered she asked, “Do you know this guy?” The little boy responds, “No, but I know he is the one to pray for us.” She looked at me and asked, “Do you know my son?”

I said, “This is the first time I’ve ever met your son.” I continue talking to her until her husband came around the corner with a case of beer. We informed him on everything that just happened. I began praying for the family. As I was praying, the Holy Spirit began convicting the man’s heart. I gave them one of my ministry cards after I finished praying. The husband immediately took the beer and put it back on the shelf. She called me later and said, “My husband went home and got rid of all the liquor. He has given up drinking. Thank you so much for praying for us that day.” Her son, being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and wanting prayer, changed the lives of the entire family.

Can an animal sense the Holy Spirit? We, of course, all know the story of Balaam and the donkey in the Old Testament. When the donkey spoke to him, we know it is possible for the Spirit to use animals to get a point across. But can they sense the Holy Spirit in someone else? I believe they can.

I was witnessing to a gang in one of the parks. As I was talking to them, I noticed a animal about 2/3 of a mile away that started running towards my direction and I couldn’t tell for sure what it was. The Holy Spirit said it was going to be a dog. I told the guys, “There is a dog coming toward us. Please don’t shoot the dog?” They all looked in the direction I was looking and noticed the dog coming towards them. The dog kept running towards us until it got near me. Panting heavily, he sat down right by my feet and just waited. The gang members were cool about the situation.  The were amazed on how a dog I did not know would come directly to me and lay down by my feet. They did not draw their weapons on the dog to shoot it. After the dog cooled off a little bit, I got a bottle of water and gave him something to drink. I found out later that the dogs owner was watching her dog take off. But because of fear of the gangs in the park, she was hesitant about coming towards us to pick the dog up. She continued watching everything that I did and she was so pleased that I stopped and took care of her dog by giving it a bottle of water. Up until that moment, she was not sure what might possibly could happen to her dog. This action of mine gave her the courage to come forward to pick her dog up. You can say it’s coincidence but the Holy Spirit in my life is the only way I can reach the gangs. Without his strong presence, I could not reach them. The dog picked me out of the crowd of people because it sensed what the Holy Spirit offers – security and peace. I am sure that there may have been another people in this park who also had the power of the Holy Spirit present but that dog could be a teaching tool for the gang members and that too may be a reason why the dog picked me over anyone else.

Black Mafia and Black Nights Accept Jesus Christ

I was at a one of the parks in Denver praying and seeking our King for what to do next. Shortly I received a call from my informers. They told me that one of the Drug Cartels, who I found out were the Black Nights a cartel I have already shared Christ with them earlier,  and the Black Mafia were meeting around 10 a.m. the next day. They asked me if I wanted the address of the meeting. My King immediately said, “Sonny, take them my Kingdom. Pick up a Cross for each man.  There will be a total of 77. There will be 33 members from the drug cartel and 44 members from the Black Mafia that will be present.”

I responded, “My King said for me to pray and take his Kingdom to them. So please give me the address.”  I looked at the address and it was here in Denver.  My King than gave more intel on these organizations and the fact that they have been looking for me. I was anxious to meet these guys but I would have to wait till tomorrow so I went home after finishing my day with other gangs.

I got up early the next day to meet them.  My King said,  “Sonny,  I  want you to take some string with you before leave.”  You are right it seemed to be a strange request to me also. But I have learned my King has a purpose for everything. I really did not have any string around the house but I had some leather laces that were quite long that I used for string.  I then headed to my pickup and drove to the address they gave me. On the way there, my King instructed me on what to do with the string.  He said, “Sonny, take the string and push it through the tiny loop on top of one of the crosses you bought for them. Then I want you to tie the ends together. You will make a circle that you will be laying on the ground when you get there.” Then my King said, “When you arrive,  I want you to drive between both organizations then stop. They will be on opposite sides of the street of each other.”  When I arrived it was just as my King said. Both sides had their pistols drawn. These organization do not trust each other because of all the money that is involved selling drugs.  I proceeded to drive between them and park my pickup. Before I got out of my pickup,  I put the 77 crosses on my neck and grabbed my Bible and the string.

Seven men from the Black Mafia started to walk towards me and one of them asked me,  “What do you want?”

I responded,  “I’m here to pray with all of you.”

One of the men who was looking me over asked,  “What’s the Bible for?”

I replied,  “I brought God’s Kingdom with me.”

He retorted, “You made a big mistake coming here.” Some of the Black Mafia started pushing me around. The Black Nights have been silent up to this point because they have dealt with the power of the Holy Spirit in the past meeting I had with them. They all of the sudden stood up for me. They said, “Guys, leave him alone. All he wants to do is talk about Jesus Christ. He is totally safe.” Then the Black Mafia backed off a little bit after their request.

I said, “My King brought me here to bring healing to all of you.” As they were looking at me, I created a big circle with the leather strings that had the cross attach to it. I then stepped inside the circle as instructed by my King. I then took the crosses off my neck and split them between both arms.  The Black Nights became scared. They asked me, “Are you going to put a curse on us Sonny?” They remember the power of the Holy Spirit gave me on our last visit.

I said,  “No, this circle is for my protection. My King has not told me what would happen if anyone would come inside this circle. All I know is it would not be good.” The Black Nights backed up even further away from me after I said that. The Black Mafia proceeded to backup likewise.

Jerome, the leader of the Black Mafia taunted, “Do you really think that circle can protect you?”

I said  “Yes, I serve a powerful King.  He protects me all the time and it will protect you.”

Then Jerome noticed the Bible and asked, “Are going to preach to us?”

I said, “My King brought me here to pray for all of you.”

Jerome asked, “What are the crosses for?”

I said, “They are a gift for you.”

Then Jerome asked,  “What’s your name?”

I replied, “My name is Sonny. I am the one you have been looking for. I have come to ask you if you want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life.” Fadell, the leader of the Black Nights asked,  “Sonny, do you know that you have a price on your head. do you know that your getting shot here tonight.”

I asked,  “Before you shoot me, let me pray for all of you first.  Then I’ll read the word of God to all of you because God wants to bring healing to all your hearts.” Because I was standing inside the circle,  I prayed one prayer for all of those under their leaders.  Then I prayed for the leaders themselves.  I then said,  “My King will not allow me to leave the circle. I would like someone to help me pass these crosses out to everyone.”  Someone from both organizations came forward to get some crosses to pass out. They were careful not to step inside of the circle where I was at.

After everyone received a cross,  I began reading John 3:16 followed by Jeremiah 29:11.  I then said,  “My King has a better purpose for all of you then what your doing now.”  I looked down in my Bible and began reading Mathew 6:33 followed by Psalms 91. I read the whole chapter outloud to them.  Jerome asked,  “What does seek first the Kingdom of God mean?”

I said, “That means you have to seek my King’s heart first above all else and that’s when you will start hearing my King’s heart.”

Fadell then asked,  “You said in John 3:16 that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.”

I said, “Yes and his name is Jesus Christ.” Then I said, “The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ. So all of you must repent. You must ask for forgiveness. Accept him as your Lord and Savior.”  For 2 hours they continued asking a lot more questions about my King and Jesus Christ. It was hot outside as I continued to stand in the circle and answer their questions.  They never got within 21 steps of the circle except when the two came forward to pick up the crosses.  Then out of nowhere, an old man dressed in 1930s garb walked up to me and gave me my favorite sweet drink, a Route 44 cherry limeade from Sonic.  He said,  “Sonny,  I know that you are thirsty.  I have something to quench your thirst.” This is the fifth time I have seen this guy, whose name is Noah. The first time I met him was in New York City. After he had handed me the drink,  he looked at me and encouraged me to continue bringing God’s Kingdom to them while he was starting to walk away. Both sides were watching what was going on but neither side never uttered a word.  Noah seemed to come from nowhere and seemed to just disappear as he went around the tree.  In fact, they continued asking questions right where they left off and never asked me what that was all about or where did he go. I remained standing inside the circle and continued to answer their questions for another 1.5 hours. After 3.5 hours with their pistols aimed at me, all of them put their weapons down. It was now time for them to make a decision.

I said, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life come and let me pray with you.” Eleven of the Black Mafia stepped forward and wanted to accept Jesus Christ and nine of the Black Nights came over to me.  One of them said,  “I’m tired of running from God.” Neither one of the leaders gave their hearts to Jesus Christ on my first encounter.  I know that a seed has been planted.

The gang leaders then did the unexpected.  Jerome signed over the titles to the almost new black Cadillacs they drove to each man that gave his life to Christ.  Fadell asked his boys if they are sure they wanted to do this as they nodded their head. Fadell walked to his car to get something.  I started praying that it would not be a weapon.  Nope he pulled out a suit case and brought out wads of cash to give to each man. It looked like $100 bills in a 2 inch stack. He asked the question again then and said no hard feelings as he gave a wad to each man. Most of the time it is impossible to leave a gang but the leaders had so much respect for his men and I am sure the Holy Spirts heart softening helped very much.

My next encounter was on July 18th as I was heading down to talk to some other gang. My King said, “Hey Sonny, I want you to pull over here in this Walmart parking lot. There you will find two rocks that I want you to get.”  I went into the parking lot and there were two smooth rocks laying next to each other in one of the parking spaces.  They were both approximately the same size. Then my King said, “Sonny pick up the two rocks.  I want you to write Isaiah 41:10 on one rock to give to Jerome and I want you to write Jeremiah 29:11 on the other rock to give Fadell.” I then asked the undercover police where I could find the Black Mafia and the Black Nights. They asked,  “What do you want to see them for?”

I replied, “My king wants me to take some rocks to the leaders. The undercover police weren’t sure what they just heard and asked, “Are you taking these guys cocaine?”

I then said,  “No, I’m just taking two rocks to them.” I could see them snicker from my response.  When they made arrangements to get cops to cover me, they always ask what I am up to. The cop humorously said, “Ah,  Sonny wants to take two rocks to the Black Mafia and Black Nights organizations.” I could tell that the cops on the other end of the line asked the question again to make sure what they heard was correct. The cop on my end gave them the answer again. You could hear them snickering in the background. I was wondering if they thought maybe I lost it.

When I found them at the location I was given, they were alone and talking to each other. As I began approaching them they both drew their pistols on me. I continued walking up to them with the rocks in each hand and gave one rock to each of them and began walking away. My King earlier told me to leave immediately after I gave them the rocks.  They asked me, “Hey Sonny,  why are you leaving in such a hurry?”

I said “My King said for me to leave immediately after giving you the rocks.”

Jerome replied,  “Sonny,  we have been thinking about everything you have told us. We will look up the verses later.” Jerome then threw his rock in the back seat of his black Cadillac and Fadell put his rock in his pocket. My King has not revealed his plan for the next step to me but how he does I am sure it will be interesting.  In a few days I was about to find out.

My 3rd encounter was started when Fadell called me. He asked if we could meet. Seven hours after Fadell called,  Jerome called and asked the same question. The Holy Spirit has completed changing their hearts.  They are ready to give their lives over to Jesus Christ.  I made arrangements to meet with both of them at the same time. When that day came for us to meet everyone from both sides was there. Everyone had their pistols but this time they were in their holsters not pointing in my direction. Even those that gave their lives to Jesus Christ the first day wanted to be there to see what was going to happen.

The leader Fadell asked, “How can God forgive me of all my sins?”

I replied, “God will forgive you of all your sins but first you have to ask for forgiveness of all your sins and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart.”

Then Fadell said, “I’m taking the price off your head.  I want a new life with Jesus Christ.”  Jerome, who had his own questions,  asked me, “Is it really that easy?”

I said, “Yes, God created all of you for his purpose not for your own.”  The leader Jerome came up and he turned around and said,  “I’m giving my life to Jesus Christ. I’m done with this life I want a new purpose for my life. All of you that came forward and are giving your hearts to Jesus Christ you are free to go back to your families.” During the last half hour, those that gave their lives to Jesus Christ called their parents. Jerome signed the titles to the rest of the Cadillac to his men and Fedall split the rest of the cash with his men for there new start in life. There was a lot of crying going on and the men were asking for forgiveness for the things they had done to each other. The Holy Spirit is moving mightily among these men.

God is Faithful God gets all the Glory and the Victory. God is still not finished with these organization.

Giving My Testimony to Highway Patrolmen

One of the coolest things my King has allowed me to do is honor our highway patrolmen with a weekly Bible study. It all started a few months back when one night a highway patrolman pulled me over because my tail light was out. The minute he walked up to me my King showed me that his Dad was sick and that I had to pray for him. The patrolmen asked for my license and registration. When I gave it to him, I also gave him my ministry card. He asked, “Are you the Sonny that ministers to the Gangs here in Denver and the United States?”

I said, “Yes I am.”

He said, the reason I pulled you over is because of your tail light.” He then said, “I’ll be right back.” He left and went back to his car. I waited a little while and he came back. He then asked, “Could you pray for my Dad because he’s really sick?”

I said, “Let’s pray right now.” After I prayed for his Dad, him and his family, I asked, “Give me your Dad’s room number and I’ll go and pray with him.” After he gave me the room number, I went to the hospital and introduced myself. His Dad said, “My son called me and said you would be coming.” A few days later he’s Dad was healed and released from the hospital. After the miracle happened to his Dad, he asked me if I would be willing to meet with his friends that are highway patrolmen and have a Bible study with them. My King gave me the go. He said, “Sonny, so many have broken lives. They need to be restored.” My schedule is getting full and the only nights I had open were Wednesday and Thursday nights. We picked Thursday nights to meet. The Captain found an auditorium for us to meet in Aurora. There were only thirty who showed the first time. Then it kept growing until over 300 Highway Patrolmen show up. The wives began seeing such a dramatic change in their men and they wanted what their husbands had. My King also gave his approval for the ladies. I meet with them on Wednesday nights.

When I was preparing to leave for the coming Thursday BIBLE study, I received a call that we were meeting at a different location. I drove to the address they sent me. I noticed it was a football stadium and began looking for a place to park. The parking lot was loaded with vehicles. Definitely more cars than people who come to the Bible study. I checked the address to make sure I was at the right place. I was at the right location and had to park towards the outside edge of the parkinglot. After I made the trek to the stadium entrance, a young man approached me to introduce himself. He said, “Hi, Mr Sonny. My name is Jonathan and I’ll show you where need to go and get ready.” As we walked under the bleachers, I could hear everyone talking and laughing. It sounded like a big crowd was present. I began to realize something is up. I asked, “What is going on?”

He explained, “The Captain sent out memos to all the patrolmen to bring out their families and close friends for the next meeting. We want to hear your testimony on how God has been using you to do what you do. We were afraid you might get nervous if we told you up front.” I later found out the Captain did this by the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I was taken to a room by the locker rooms so I could pray and prepare for tonight’s event. I never have spoken in front of such a large audience before. I nervously asked the King what to say to the crowd. My King responded, “Sonny, just speak from your heart. They want to hear the truth about my Kingdom.” I then heard someone coming.

It was Jonathan. He asked, “What song do you want to start with?”

I replied, “Amazing Grace!” then I asked, “Play an old hymn called When the Role Is Called Up Younder when we finish worshiping.” Jonathan was instrumental in getting things set up for today’s event. His Dad, a highway patrolmen talked about the ministry to him quite often and he felt it was time to quit running from God and turn his life over to Jesus Christ. He jumped at the opportunity to be the sound guy for the event. It is now time to meet everyone. They started out playing the music. It was exciting to see everyone with their hands in the air worshipping my King. The worship lasted nearly half an hour. Now was my time to go on stage.

As I stood on the platform I was seeing lions in the crowd. I asked my King, “Why do I keep seeing all the lions?”

My King replied, “Sonny, you are seeing these men through the eyes of the people on the street. I want you to close your eyes for 21 seconds then you will see them as I see them.” I did as my King asked and when I opened my eyes, I only saw men of integrity not lions. I also observed the expression on everyones face as I opened my eyes. They probably were wondering what I was up to. I started speaking by thanking everyone for coming. I then said, “I was not expecting to see this many people here today. But, Praise God, I would like to pray for all the Highway Patrolmen that are here tonight. can you please all stand.” We estimated that 307 patrolmen stood up. I then said, “Take a good look at them. I know you see men and women that are risking their life’s for us but the people that are on the streets see them as lions and they want to destroy them but my King sees them as mighty warriors of the highways. If there’s a man or woman standing by you, lay hands on them and pray for them.” I prayed out loud closing my prayer that our King will protect them and continue to show them how much he loves them.

I than began my testimony by sharing everything that was in my heart and I wanted to be honest with everybody. I told them that before I got started in this ministry how my life was deteriorating. I had a failed marriage. I was abandoned and felt all alone. My King was always there for me and had to break me in order for me to bring his Kingdom to anyone. I was definitely at the low point in my life. I cried out to God, “Give me some ministry that nobody else wants. I am ready to take on the challenge.” So God gave me this ministry that I’m going to tell you about. As I began speaking and sharing everything about the King’s ministry, everybody was silent. Not a single cell phone was visible. Everyone was looking forward. As I continue talking, many of people became emotional as the Holy Spirit began to move. Nearly an hour had passed as I finished giving my testimony. What came next was totally unexpected.

A bunch of highway patrolman came in late and asked if I could re-cap a short version of my testimony because they were called out on a serious accident and many of them we’re out directing traffic and were disappointed they could not be here. The Captain stood up and said, “Hey Sonny, why don’t you just go ahead and give them the whole version of your testimony. I am sure no one will mind plus it will be good for them to hear your complete testimony.” I saw from the crowd that they were ready to hear it again. I began to give my testimony all over again. I’m sure I shared things I didn’t share the first time. The crowd made sure I did not forget anything. As I was going on, some of the crowd shouted, “Don’t forget to tell us about Blue Mustang.” I completed my testimony again. I noticed many people who were emotional the first time were still emotional during the second time. There were not very many dry eyes in the crowd. The moving of Holy Spirit was extremely strong during both testimonies. It was now time to ask the crowd about their salvation.

I asked, “I’m going to be honest and tell all of you what my King shows me. God is showing me that a lot of you love God but some of you look like you have no life inside of you. It’s because your running from my King. Today is the day of Salvation because tomorrow is never promised not even for me. My King is knocking at your heart and wants to restore the joy that you had when you accepted Jesus Christ in your hearts the first time.” I then said, “My King has shown me who you are. Those of you that feel dead inside and want a fresh Anointing from my King, I want to rededicate your hearts to Jesus Christ. I want you to come so we can pray for you.” Over 360 came forward and asked Jesus Christ to forgive them and they asked our King for a fresh Anointing from God’s Kingdom upon them. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. Over three hours have passed by the time I finished praying for everyone who came forward. One message I would like to say is, “Be obedient to God and use Jesus Christ as an example on how to live your life. The Bible shows the life of Jesus Christ well. Even if you have moments of failure, do not give up. People will see what you have and will want what you have. Your life can be a testimony to someone else.” Another cool miracle happened today.  It has been threatening to rain during the time of this event. Nothing happened until I finished praying for the grounds keeper who approached me at the very end when most everyone was gone. We both got into our vehicles and the rain began pouring down.

The Holy Spirit did change lives during my testimony.  Fifteen minutes after the meeting was over Jonathan approached me and asked, “Sonny,  could you talk to us teenagers on how we can become better servants for Jesus Christ.” My King and I jumped at the opportunity to do this. we scheduled a meeting two days later at a safe, quiet place where there were some trees to keep things cool for people to gather. We met in the parking lot first. After everyone arrived we headed in the back of the building where the trees were at. I did not know this until the end but the parents and sisters of many of the teenagers went on the top floor of the building to observe and pray that their sons could have that deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, I told the boys they need to find out who God is by reading his word. His word defines who he is. The next thing is to model your lives like Jesus Christ was as a man. We talked about how to treat women as a Godly man would. When I got to the topic of honoring your parents as shown in the New Testament, it really hit home. I had boys coming forward while I was speaking who were convicted. They knew that they have been very disrespectful to their parents. I asked them to call their parents to ask for forgiveness. It was fun to watch brothers call. One would call one parents and the other the other parent. When they apologized to that parent, they would swap phones so the other could apologize to the other parent. I think the parents were more emotional than the boys. As this was going on, the rest came forward after they began thinking that they too have not been honoring their parents as much as they could. Our culture tells us that us many things contrary to what our King wants. These young men have said, “I am taking my life to serve Jesus Christ better.” Jonathan did a head count and estimated 325 teenage boys present.

Independent of the boys, four of the teenage girls also wanted me to speak with them without their parents or brothers. Some could not make the first meeting or had friends who needed to hear my testimony. I also asked them what was important to them. The number one thing they said was to stay pure until they got married. They too had issues with honoring their parents. They too came forward to change their lives for our King.  They then called their parents to apologize for their behavior.  The parents of the girls were close enough to observe them as they dedicated their lives to Jesus Christ. I estimate that 370 girls came to tonight.

As I finish this story, Jonathan has shown his commitment to Jesus Christ. He is president of the student council. The school principal wanted to meet with him and some of the students about the coming school year. He began talking about the fears of the Covid 19 virus that we had to live with for the coming year. Jonathan would no accept this and quoted Isaiah 41 :10,  Jeremiah 29:11 Philippians 4:6-7 to him. The principal saw a new boldness in Jonathan and commented on it. The principal has been avoiding talking about Jesus Christ in school because of political correctness. Jonathan said, “I want to be proud about Jesus Christ. Jesus did say, if you deny me before men, I will deny you before the Father.” These words convicted the principal. The principal than said, “You will see some changes from me this coming school year. ” It is so cool to see the Holy Spirit working in Jonathan so quickly. I feel all the teenagers I met with are going to have an impact on the other students this coming school year. Thank you Jesus Christ for calling us yours.

The principal met with Jonathan today in a private meeting. He said, “Jonathan,  from now on I’m going to carry my Bible to school, wear a cross around my neck and I am not going to be afraid to talk about Jesus Christ to others. I may get fired me for sharing Jesus Christ in school but it is better than living in this box I created for myself all these years.

Greeley Court House and Police Station Saved

After work, I received an interesting call. The undercover cops warned me that the word and on the street was that an evil organization was in to Greeley. Their sole purpose was to damage the courthouse and the police station. Since the George Floyd incident, all kinds of people with hate instilled in them have been rioting with destruction and burning. This organization is one of them. Shortly thereafter, my King said, “Sonny, it is not my desire that this organization to succeed. I want you to walk around both the police station and the courthouse seven times and anoint the buildings and pray over them.” I did as my King requested. I walked around the courthouse first and while I was there I did not notice anything unusual going on. After I finished praying for the courthouse, I went to the police station and did the same thing. Again, I walked around it seven times anointing the building with olive oil. No one came out and asked me any questions even though I knew that people were watching. Eventually, they came out to thank me for doing what I did. Shortly thereafter, Blue Mustang called and asked me about the courthouse situation. I told him what I just did to protect the building because God really didn’t want anything happen to the courthouse. He told me a bunch of men were going about 8 p.m. to pray around the courthouse. I found out later that a larger group of women surrounded the men. They all prayed that my King would protect the courthouse. I was about ready to leave when my King said, “I now want you to pray over this organization.” I did not know where they where but I soon received a call from the undercover police.

They undercover police were having a difficult time locating the organization that was going to do damaged in Greeley. I was told that the individuals would be dressed in black and that they were very evil. The undercover police asked me if I wanted to go along to try and help find these guys. I told them that I would go with them. I entered a van that looked almost like it should be sent to the junk pile. It had graffiti and some dents all over it. But when I entered into the vehicle, it was immaculate inside. It had all kinds of electronics and devices to aid the undercover police in getting info about any situation they were involved with. As we were cruising in Greeley, we did come across a smaller bunch of approximately 19 guys all dressed in black. We knew we were getting warm at this sighting. The informers responded that the organization was a lot larger group than this and they would eventually rondevu somewhere in Greeley. We continued cruising. Eventually, a spotter got word got out that they were in Island Grove Park Fair ground in north Greeley Colorado. I told the undercover police that I need to go back to get my pickup and that I needed to go and pray for these young men as I was commanded by my King. They were trying to keep me from going because they knew the characteristics of these guys and they would be very mean. But I told them as I have said before, “When my King tells me to do something that I need to do it.” They reluctantly took me back to my pickup and I headed off to Greeley Island Grove Park.

When I arrived at 7:12 pm, my King said, “Sonny, drive around these guys seven times.” As I got closer, I counted what appeared to be 15 black vans. They all appeared to be in excellent condition. I began driving around them. The young men were standing there with their pistols drawn and pointing them in my direction as I drove around the vans but nobody shot at me. After I completed my seventh-round, my King said, “Do not drive in towards them, but I want you to back your vehicle into the area.” I found the road that lead to the vans. I put my pickup in reverse. I am sure these guys were wondering what was going on. I carefully got out of my pickup and I was greeted by a bunch of pistols. The leader asked me using vulgar language, “What the heck are you doing here?”

I replied, “My King sent me here to pray for you.”

The leader retorted, “And who is your King?”

I exclaimed, “He is Jesus Christ. He loves you guys very much and he wants me to pray for you.”

The leader furiously said, “You made a big mistake coming here and you are going to die for doing so.”

I said, “Before you do what you want to do let me pray for you.” There was a total of 46 men and three women there at the park.

As I started praying, two guys placed their pistols on my temples. One on each side of my head. They kept their pistols on my temple as I moved from guy to guy it was very difficult to pray under that situation. I finally said, “Why don’t you just put your gun in the front of my head because I need room to lay hands on and to continue to pray for each guy here. They backed off to give me some room to continue praying.

I prayed for each one and God revealed their hearts to me. Almost everyone of them were abandoned as a family because they were assumed to be worthless. Others had alcoholic parents and other issues of rejection where they were forced to leave home early. I handed each one a Ministry card after I finished praying for each person. I prayed for the leader last. I shared with him what the Holy Spirit revealed to what happened to his life. I said, “I know that your father was an alcoholic and abandoned you. It is time that you ask for forgiveness from your dad.”

The leader angrily said,  “Shut up, I do not want to hear anything else from you.” I still handed him one of my Ministry cards that he threw over his shoulders.  One of the young women there, whose name is Katherine, caught the card and stuck it in her pocket. She already had one of my cards. I saw her put in her pocket earlier when I prayed for her. This card went into the same pocket. The Holy Spirit showed me that the women were rebellious at home and left home when they were 16. Two of the parents were Christians when they came here. I then looked the leader into his eyes and said, “I am done praying. You can do with me what you want.”

I am sure the leader was caught off guard. He brashly said, “You can go but you better leave now before I change my mind.” My King then said, “You’re done here. Leave them now and whatever you do, do not look back!” That is the reason why my King had my face my pickup away from them. Looking away, I got in the pickup and drove away. I said to myself, “It looks like no one gave their life to Jesus tonight.”

Then the Holy Spirit revealed to me, “What do you mean? Three people are going to be giving their life to Jesus Christ. I am still working on their hearts.” I found out three days from now when I received a phone call. It was Katherine. She said, “I want to get out of here and when would you be able to come and get us?” All three of the women wanted to leave their situation and give their lives to Jesus Christ. I asked them where they were staying. They gave me the directions to the motel in Denver where they were staying. I decided to ask for help from the undercover cops. They were eager to help. They wanted to send out seven sharpshooters to make sure that nobody got hurt when the three girls left. We all left for the motel. We arrived at 8:30 p.m. The adrenalin was beginning to pump as the plan was coming together. The sun was set but it was not real dark yet. The sharpshooters who got there first started monitoring the windows and exits for any activity. The girls figured out how to get out of their rooms undiscovered. The undercover police found them hiding in the darkness of the alley. When the coast was clear, the undercover police signaled for me to get going. I started driving with my lights off and my engine at an idle. The alley was paved so there was no tire noise. The Holy Spirit put a deep sleep on all the men because there was not a individual to be found. The three women knew my pickup from the Greeley visit and came towards me staying in the shadows as much as they could. They placed their stuff in the box and entered my back seat. We continued to the street in stealth mode. I turned my lights on after I could not see the motel anymore. Not a single shot was fired tonight.

I took them to their homes in southwest Denver. These homes are mansions. They all came from good homes. Their rebellious Spirit made them leave home and join an organization like this. Satan is a master at clouding one’s judgment. When the girls gave their lives to Jesus Christ, Satan’s cloud was lifted. They wondered why they did what did. Some of the parents present weren’t Christians. After their daughter’s gave their hearts to Jesus Christ, four of the parents gave their hearts to Jesus Christ also. As I was getting ready to leave,  I then asked God, “What ever happened to the rest of the men?”

God responded, “I gave them an opportunity to become mine. They have chosen the Lake of Fire.” The undercover police told they have tracked them to Baltimore. My King has not revealed to me what they may be doing in that city now.

Rescue Three Women

I was at work Monday enjoying my job but it was not a typical Monday. My phone rang at 2 pm. I didn’t recognized the number but my King said to answer it. When I answered the phone I said “Hello” just like anyone else. The young woman went directly to the point. The young woman said, “Sonny, this is Kelly from Denver. You told me that if I ever want to get out of this organization that you would come and get me out and take me to my family.” You may be wondering how we made contact in the first place. God, as you see in many of my stories has me speaking to people on the street. I met Kelly on the street one night and told her how much Jesus loves her and prayed for her. Kelly was not ready to give her life to Jesus Christ that night but I planted a seed in her heart. I gave her one of my ministry cards to call me when she was ready to leave this life. Kelly kept my card close by.

I said, “Yes, I remember our conversation very well.” Then I said, “What time do you want me to come and get you out?”

She said, “Can you get me at 8:30 pm Monday night. There will be two more coming with me.”

I said, “Give me the address and I’ll deliver you to a safe place.” My King said, “Sonny, call the informers to help you get them out safely.” I then called my informers and told them what was to be going down. Seven of them came to help me. I shared with them that there is a black van that follows the young women to where they are meeting someone. The sole purpose of the van is to prevent the women from leaving their destination early. This night was going to be different. The cops set undercover vehicles in the area and waited for the van to show. They stealthily moved in around the van and patiently waitied for the 8:30 pm drop off. I set myself behind some bushes to watch the drop off point. As I looked on, Blue Mustang called asking for prayer. The Holy Spirit gave me insight to his situation and I had him read Jeremiah 29:12. I told him what the Holy Spirit said to me and I was giving him details of what is going down minute by minute until the limousine arrived. I then explained, “The limousine is coming. I have to go when the Limousine arrives at the front door. The girls are going in just long enough to allow the limousine to leave. They are going to come back outside. When this happens, the guys in the van are going to try to stop them. They will be stopped by the undercover police nearby. I will take my pickup to the door where they will enter and be taken to a safe place.”

The Limousine pulled up at 8:30 pm. The body guard got out and opened the rear door and the three young women got out the car. The body guard walked them to the front door of the hotel. As soon as the young women walked further into the lobby, the body guard walked back to the Limousine and left the hotel parking lot. When the Limousine turned the street corner, I drove my pickup to the front doors of the hotel. While I was doing this, my informers went straight to the black van to block it so it couldn’t leave. I found out later that they were all arrested. About the time the young women stepped out of the hotel, all the power for the whole block shut down. With the power off, security cameras go offline. I had just enough time to get the women out of there before things start recording again when the backup generators start up. I quickly pulled up to pick up the young women. They jumped into my pickup and we sped off. I kept checking behind me in my rearview mirror and side mirrors. No one appeared to be following us as I was heading to a safe zone. I parked my pickup off the road when I arrived. The next step was to secure the women. I asked them for their phones and I destroyed their cell phone chips. We then got back into the pickup and headed towards Kelly’s home where all their parents were waiting for them. Even the parents knew what was going down. The girls jumped out of my truck and ran to their parents. They hugged their parents and cried for a long time. Then the parents came over to meet and hug me. They thanked me over and over. I told them that it was my King that get all the Glory and the Victory. He gives me the courage and protection to do this.

I asked them, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life come over to me and I’ll pray for all of you.” The three women and two parents came up to me and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I got home at 3:45 am on Tuesday morning. That same day at noon Kelly called me and thanked me again for coming to rescue them. Then she invited me for supper at their home that same night. I welcomed her offer to have supper. I arrived at 5:45 pm at her home. All three girls were there. They were just starting to cook the appetizers. Kelly, Lynette and Rylee asked me to pray for them again. The young women looked totally different after giving themselves to Jesus Christ. Our King had transformed their hearts and brought peace to their lives. Those young women wouldn’t stop hugging me. I was so blessed to be there with them. As the evening progressed, the women shared what my King has put on their hearts. They want to reach other women who live their old life. They also want to be able to share Jesus with other women who are hurting to give them hope. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory.

Revisiting Gang 1 and Gang 2

Two Gangs Revisited

A new weekend is here. God said, “Sonny, you need to meet with the same two gangs you witnessed to last weekend for me. Both of the gangs want the same menus you gave them last time.” A short time later a lady, whose name is Rebekah, called me and asked me if I was coming to the park Saturday. She belonged to the first gang. She was traded for another gang when I first saw her. She was the first one to call me by name. I prayed for her 8 months ago and she gave her heart to Jesus Christ. She took my Anointing oil from me and put it in her pocket. She wanted to witness to the other girls and anoint them when she prayed. She has remained in this gang this long because she is witnessing to the other girls in the gang. She has a heart for the remaining women in the gang.

I headed towards Denver with cold sodas and bottled water in my cooler. When I was in the vicinity of my favorite Cosco, God said, “Sonny, it is time to fill your pickup with gas again.” I looked at my fuel gauge and it was over half full. I really do not need fill up. I have learned that what seems dumb has a purpose when my King wants me to do something. I directed my pickup towards the Cosco fuel pumps. I noticed a guy there already pumping gas. I looked closer and it was Ed McAfree, a retired receiver of the Denver Broncos when John Elway was quarterback. I pulled my vehicle behind his car then I approached him to introduce myself. He is a Christian and loves Jesus Christ. His family is just like him. He shared some details of his NFL career. He told me that when John Elway would throw the ball with intense speed. He remembered one pass he caught that the force on his hand made his middle fingers swell. He did have fun playing ball with John. I then told him what I did. I told him that God directed me here and I feel he wants me to pray for you. Ed was all excited for that. He humbled himself in front of me to allow me pray for him. I lifted him up to God as I prayed for him. He wanted to pray for me and my ministry that was given to me by my King. During our conversation and our prayer time, no one came to fill their gas tank in our line. I have never seen this before. Cosco pumps are always busy on the weekend. God did not want us to be interrupted.

After Ed left, Steve (the Cosco employee I prayed for a month ago) showed up behind me. Just like last week, he ran his Cosco card and payment card to fill my pickup. While the gas flowed into my pickup, he called his wife and told her I was here. She said, “Do not let him go. I am close and I want to meet the man who changed both of our lives.” Steve asked me to wait so I could meet his wife. I did not have to wait very long. She gave me a hug of joy and wanted to share everything that has been going on with Steve and their marriage. I made sure that she recognized that only the Holy Spirit can change one’s life. I just prayed that the Spirit would do that for him. After my gas tank was filled, they both wanted me to go to the parking lot to visit their daughter and her boyfriend. Their son then pulled up and they introduced him to me. I prayed for them all. They decided to rededicate their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. Now is time to revisit the gangs I met with last week.

For the first gang, my King said, “Sonny, pick up donuts, Double Stuffed Oreo Cookies, milk and orange juice.” I went to King Soopers to pick up the food and headed back to the same park. As I began parking nearby, they started to walk towards my pickup with their pistols holstered. When I exited the pickup, they said, “What’s up Sonny? Did you bring us something to eat?”

I said, “Yes, I did.”

They replied said, “Thanks Sonny for thinking about us.”

I responded, “Your welcome; but first I want to pray for all of you. I prayed for all of them. They mentioned to me that the last time I was here that they actually found a Bible and looked up the scriptures I read them last week. They then asked, “Sonny, do you have any new scriptures for us today? ” I then read the scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Jeremiah 29:11. I explained those verses to them. They asked, “Can God really forgive me of all my sins?”

I said, “Yes, but first you need to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins. Then ask him to come into your heart. My King will forgive you and forget all your sins. Then he will transform your hearts for his Kingdom. My King will give you a new purpose for your life.” As I finished talking, God said, “Sonny, pray with them and then walk away. I am having you serve lunch to this gang” After I prayed with them a lot of seeds were planted in their hearts. My King is Faithful he gets all the Glory and the Victory. I began walking away. I looked back and told them that I was going to bring them lunch to them. They were very excited when I mentioned “lunch ” to them.

God said, “Sonny, they are craving cheeseburgers. For lunch, pickup up 36 cheeseburgers for them to eat.” I headed to my favorite McDonald’s restaurant to order my cheeseburgers. At McDonald’s they are always excited to see me. The girls and the Manager always come out to pray for me and to say “Hi!.” The manager also helps me reach the young men. Today he paid for 50% of the burgers and eight that I did not even order. He placed those eight in a separate bag. Does the manager know something that I don’t know?

I headed back to the park to meet them again. When I parked my vehicle, they greeted me with their pistols holstered. They helped me carry the food to the nearby picnic table. I prayed over the food and they began eating. They were excited that they could have more than one burger. They only took one at a time and shared. But they did not touch the burger bag with the eight burgers I had. I assumed they thought they were mine and left them alone. Soon, I was to discover why I received those burgers. If you remember the story about God having me do church in the park, well; eight homeless men who attended recognized me. They were very hungry and walked slowly towards the table. They sheepishly asked if we had anything to eat. The gang invited them to dine with them and wanted to share. This is something gangs do not do. I told them I had a burger for each one of them. They were greatful to receive the food. They became thirsty and quietly asked for something to drink. Again, God had me bring enough pop and water so they could quench their thirst. The Holy Spirit definitely is working here in this gang. I prayed with them again. After I prayed with the last man, my King said, “Sonny, It is time to drive away. It is time to bring a meal to another gang”

God had the 2nd gang I have been witnessing to in mind. He told me to get tacos again. He then said, “No, they are not tired of tacos. They will love them again.” He can read my thoughts did not want me to question his choice. My King’s meal choices either fill the need of the gang and usually are their favorite or they just satisfy a craving. I headed to Taco Bell to get more tacos. When I pulled up to Taco Bell window, the girls and the boys always tell me, “Taking more tacos to the gangs I see, we’re praying for you Sonny. Your a blessing to all of us.” They always treat me like family. After praying for me, I headed to gang 2. I parked near them. Just like the first gang, they kept their guns holstered and helped me carry the taco boxes and drinks to their table. I prayed for the food and them and talked about Jesus to them and his ability to heal hearts. Anthony, one of gang members, was hoping that he could heal lives also. He came up to me and asked, “My mom is in the hospital with a bad stomach blockage and doesn’t have much time to live. Can you go to the hospital to pray for her?”

I said, “I will go and pray for her, but you are going with me. ” I have prayed for people in the hospital before and it is difficult to see non-family patients. I also wanted Anthony to see the power of the Holy Spirit. We left the gang and headed for the hospital. With the covid-19 virus going on, going to the hospital is not an easy task. They do not even want any non-family individuals around. Anthony decided to adopt me as his uncle and that took care of that problem. Now, to prepare ourselves we had to get into our what seemed like hazmat suits. We were told not to bring anything into the room or touch anything. So, with all the garb on, we entered Anthony’s mom’s room. I introduced myself to her and said, “Anthony has asked me to pray for you. Is it OK for me to do that?” She welcomed the offer with open arms. The blockage has been quite painful for her. I learned that she has been praying for Anthony for years to accept Jesus Christ. She was glad to see him in her room. Before I pray, I get my bottle of olive oil out to anoint the person I am praying for. Deep inside my sleeve the bottle was hiding. I worked it down my sleeve until it popped into my hand. Luckily, both of the nurses watching us are Christians. They both understood the power of the oil and gave me thumbs up to continue. I opened it and began anointing her. I began praying for her. Whatever was causing her pain seemed to just pass through. Almost instantly, she felt wonderful. Anthony watched carefully everything that just happened. He noticed how the Holy Spirit healed his mom.  His mom noticed her son’s bewilderment. Her first words to Anthony were, “Isn’t it great how good our God is. Anthony would you like Jesus Christ to be your personal Savior.” Anthony began realized that gang life is not what its cut out to be and Jesus did heal his mom. He wanted what I and his mom had; a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Anthony told her, “I do want to accept Jesus as my personal Savior! ” His mom asked me if I could loan her my bottle of oil. I handed it to her while the nurses were watching. She anointed him with the oil and prayed over him as he accepted Jesus Christ. Anthony now has the peace of Jesus Christ in his life. His mom’s next request was “I want a lemonade to drink.” Even though the nurses advised against it, she threatened to get someone else to do it. They caved and let her have the lemonade. She enjoyed it but had to spend the next hour in the restroom. She was released the next day. God totally cured her. It was great to get out of the hospital and the suits. Anthony has one more thing to do and it is to leave the gang.

At first,  I think he wanted me to tell them but then he said, “Sonny, this is one thing I have to do myself.” I drove him back to the gang to talk with the leader. Anthony went up to him and said, “Loco, I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and I want to serve him. I am asking your permission to leave the gang.”

The leader replied, “Loco, it is fine with me. But anytime someone treats you without respect, you still have a home with us. We will keep this spot open for you.” Normally, it is impossible to leave a gang without leaving the state or dying. The hearts of these men are softening but they still have tremendous respect for each other. I am not sure why they call each other “Loco”. Now that Anthony knows that God is real, he is going back to his gang. He is bringing God’s Kingdom with him and more of them will be saved. I went home to end the weekend. God still has plans for me to visit these gangs again.

Memorial Day weekend with the 5th Timers

Saturday morning I picked up 4 dozen donuts to take to gang 1 I have been witnessing to this was the 5th time. I have shared the word of God to them when I met them. I gave them all Bibles. There are 27 individuals in this gang of which fifteen are guys and twelve are girls. One of girls names is Rebecka. I talked about her earlier.  She has stayed with the gang to try and reach the other girls for Jesus Christ. She also has been my inside informer. She has been calling me lately and telling me that she wants to go home. She has been trying to get the other girls to come with her. Rebecka reported to me that during the past week they have been reading the Bible. The whole gang has been showing signs that the Holy Spirit has been working in their hearts more each week.

When I arrived Saturday morning, the leader, his body guards and Rebecka came out to greet me. No one had their pistols drawn when they came to help me carry in all the donuts, milk and orange juice I bought for them. As we all walked inside, the rest of the gang members were excited to see all the food. I noticed the Bible’s everywhere. You could tell that they have been reading them. My King said to read Jeremiah 29:11 to them. When I announced which verse I was about to read, Rebecka said, “That’s my favorite verse because it talks about our future.” She opened her Bible and read Jeremiah 29:11 out loud to all of us. After she was done, the leader said, “Sonny, I’m ready to give my heart to Jesus Christ. Rebecka has been reading the Bible to us and she makes us read the word of God. All of us have learned so much about God’s word. Because of your and Rebecka’s persistence, our hearts will never be the same.”

Then I replied, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs Book of Life come over by me and I’ll pray for you.” They all stepped forward to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Then they called all their parents to go home. The parents came for all of them. The parents that weren’t Christians asked me to pray with them. As I prayed they gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory.

Gang 2

You may began asking yourself what happened to Gang 2? Well, Anthony took breakfast to his old gang. He prayed for them and shared what Jesus has been doing in his life. Three of them gave their life to Jesus Christ during their encounter. He may be the one who brings the entire gang to Jesus. I have planted the seed. My King keeps me humble by showing me that he can use other people to bring Salvation to the gangs. I am excited for Anthony and want him to succeed immensely. This does remind me of a time I had this discussion with God. I asked, “God, do you have anyone to replace me as I get older.”

God retorted, “Why do you ask? Are you planning on dying soon. ” It was a foolish question because God probably had a successor lined up for me even before I was chosen. It also told me that my King as more work for me to do.

Denver Riot

On May 28 the Holy Spirit warned me of the rioting going on in Denver near Colfax and the Capitol Building. When I arrived, the cops knowing me had me park my pickup in a secure area which I used every day I was on the street. Fires, vandalism and angry people everywhere. The riot started because of a Minneapolis policeman and a black man named George Floyd. These people want to believe cops are all bad. Not true; the Denver police showed professionalism and self control while I was there. He wanted me to talk and pray with the people on the street near Lincoln and Tremont. I stood in the middle of the street and kept witnessing to them. The main thing I told the people is that Jesus Christ loves them and his plan is not what is happening on the street tonight.

I sensed all the hopelessness and brokenness in the people. Small groups of people would stop and talk to me quite often. When other people saw us gather they would stop and see what’s going on. I shared God’s message of love by how Jesus Christ has a purpose for their lives. I also emphasized what should be obvious that the businesses and the homes on the street have nothing to do with Mr. Floyd death. Even he would not be pleased with what’s going on. Wouldn’t it honor Mr. Floyd’s death a lot more by sending condolence to his family then destroying your innocent community around you. When people asked my to pray for them, many times they would break down and start crying when the Holy Spirit touched their hearts. All I prayed for always turned around and went home. Those who did not want prayer I helped convince the people that it would be better to go home. The Holy Spirit wanted me to go again Friday evening.

When I arrived, people were rioting again. I walked up to a group of 23 people. As I walked closer to them, the one that was doing all the yelling said to me, “Move out of the way. Do you think you are going to preach to us? ”

I said, “I come in the authority of my King.”

He asked, “Who’s your King?”

I replied, “His name is Jesus Christ and he wants me to pray for all of you.” The second I said “pray” they just looked at me. I prayed out loud to all of them. First, all the women started to cry. Then some of the men started to cry. When I stopped praying, I asked, “Those of you that want your names written in the lambs book of life come over to me.” Eleven came forward and the rest just stood there. After they gave their hearts to Jesus Christ, they came and hugged me. I gave my ministry card to all of them. They turned around and went back to their cars and went home. Only my King can transform hearts so quickly. He gets all the Glory and the Victory. He has called me to go back again on Saturday.

The weather was beautiful Saturday. Again, the mobs were everywhere. I went back to Lincoln and Tremont. I was approached one mob on the street. Fifteen people in that Mob gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. Later that afternoon, from another large mob of people 27 people from that group gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. As my King instructed, the people came to me. I just told them that God loves them and wants their hearts. My King gets all the Glory.
At the end of the day, I thought about the 1st responses I get from people:

  • Could you pray for me?
    I pray for them and have some Bibles if they need one. I even had a guy come back the next day to let me know he has started reading it.
  • What do you mean by Jesus Christ loves me? I have never heard from no one that they loved me.
    I talk about John 3:16 to them and Jesus Christ plans in our life.
  •  I don’t believe in Jesus Christ or God.
    I use God’s creation to show his existence. I asked one guy to examine his own hand to marvel at God’s power. The technology is thousands of years old and no one has matched the technology. It is difficult for them to deny it.
  •  You are brave for being here.
    I always tell them my King gives me the courage.
  • The love part of my message is the most asked about.
    With all the hopelessness and deceit going on love is a good alternative. I tell them about my King’s love. It’s a universal love and it is for everyone. He wants to share it. We just need to come to him.
Lincoln and Tremont

Saturday was busy but my King had plans to be at the same spot early Sunday. morning.

Sunday morning was not that quiet. Around 9 am I was sharing God’s message to the people. A mob of thirteen men came with baseball bats. The leader separated from the group and started poking me with his bat. He said, “What authority allows you to block the road? We are going to give you a beating. ”

I exclaimed, “I am here under my King’s authority. He has ordered my to share his love with the people.” The leader backed up towards the guys and his bat was ripped out of his hand. Immediately, the rest of the mobs bats did the same. The first response I heard was, “Why did you throw your bat on the ground?” The next response was, “Then why is your bat also on the ground.” They began to see what just happened. I said, “My King does not want you to hit me with your bats. Instead, he wants your hearts. Can I pray for you?” I prayed for them and shared more on the wonders of Jesus Christ to them. After witnessing the power of God and now knowing God loves them they decided Jesus Christ is the better option. The thirteen dedicated their lives to my King. One thing that perplexed me was: After they accepted Christ they asked me and themselves, “Why am I here in first place?” I noticed that many of the people walking the streets are like zombies. Satan can cloud our memories get us to do things we would never do on our own. I really believe that many on the street do not really know why they are there. Jesus Christ is very good at breaking this spell of Satan. I am thankful that Jesus Christ will search us out even if we are up to no good as I witnessed these last three days.

The leader was excited about accepting Jesus Christ and wanted to talk to his wife about just what happened. He called her on speaker phone and when she answered he said, “You can never guess what I just did.”

She sounded like she was not pleased with what her man was up to. She replied, “You just burned a building down.”

He answered back, “NO! I just accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. ”

I think she heard him the first time but she answered, “You did what??

“I accepted Jesus Christ” was his response.

Now she was curious and asked, “I have been praying for you for years that Jesus would become your personal Savior and instead you were out to burn the town down. What happened to you to that convinced you that you needed to do this? ”

He said, “I met this guy on the street and he stood firm on what God told him to do. He shared the love of Jesus Christ with us. God really convinced us when he made us all drop our bats. I mean the bats were ripped from our hands.” She became excited with the news and probably another marriage has been saved. All the men went home with a new purpose in their life. Only my King could do this to the hearts of these men and to all the other people I talked to of which gave their lives to Jesus Christ these last three days.

 

The Seven Are Saved

I left work Friday and headed to Denver to meet with the Undercover Police. After the meeting concluded, my King then said, “Sonny, there’s seven young men hiding in an alley. Go and take my Kingdom to them. I also want you to feed and pray for them.” God then gave me more details on the men and what they were hungry for. I went to my favorite McDonald’s to purchase seven Big Mac meals. I drove up to the order window and asked for seven Big Mac meals. Leslie recognized my voice and responded, “Hi Sonny, you changed your order up a bit. You usually order cheeseburgers.”

I said, “Hi Leslie; my King said seven Big Mac meals. I don’t even know who they are for.”

“Wow!” she said. They started putting my order together. Leslie then said, “I want to pray for you. I’ll personally bring your order out to you.” Leslie hustled out to my pickup with my order. She handed it to me and immediately started praying for me. Then she prayed for whoever was going to get the Big Mac meals. That God would prepare their hearts to accept Jesus Christ. It is such a blessing to me to have Leslie pray. I left the parking lot and headed for Colfax Avenue. God said, “Sonny, begin driving east on Colfax.” I did as God told me and began driving east on Colfax Avenue. Soon God said, “Sonny, go five more blocks and turn right at the first alley and then turn left.” Just as my King said, I found the alley. It was very dark as I proceeded down the route. God prompted, “Look to your right.” I turned my head and I saw the young men hiding in the shadows. I drove my pickup next to them. They asked, “What do you want?”

I replied, “My King wants your hearts.” One by one they began to cry. One of them walked up to me and he started to cry as the peace from the Holy Spirit settled on him. They all began walking towards me after they started to cry. They all gave their heart to Jesus Christ. One commented, “Sonny, you are like David Wilkerson.”

I was curious and asked, “How do you know about David Wilkerson?”

He responded, “When I was in school, my teacher showed us the movie “Cross and the Switch Blade” in school. I see him in you.” I thought that was pretty cool and got an idea to show them a video relating to David Wilkerson. I said, “We better get out of here. It is not safe to be here.” All seven climbed into my pickup and we drove out of there as quickly as we could. As I was taking them to a safe place, I told the young men to call their parents to tell them where to meet us. After we parked, they ate their Big Mac meals I bought them. I had them watch a movie about the testimony of Nicky Cruz while we were waiting for the parents to come. After they finished Nicky Cruz’s testimony, they cried again because his testimony hit them right in the heart.

The next weekend one of young men invited my to a family barbecue at his home. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. They invited me this afternoon for another cookout. They wanted me to meet more of their families. I got to pray with all of them. The families all gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. Our King gets all the Glory and the Victory.
