Feeding a Homeless Man Rib Eye Steak at 1a.m.

It was a late night after a busy day of working with the gangs. I didn’t get home till 1 a.m. in the morning. I felt like going to bed immediately. As I was getting ready for bed, my stomach was growling and cramping up. It has been a long time since I had something to eat. Then I remember those ribeye steaks that I had in my refrigerator. I decided that I was going to get something to eat before I went to bed. I cut up some potatoes and onions and wrapped them in aluminum foil. I went outside and started the grill.

Normally, I do not have ribeye steaks myself because they are kind of expensive. But when I was eating breakfast with Blue Mustang, he said, “Sonny, God loves it when we support our missionaries. King Soopers has their ribeyes on sale for half price. Do you want some?” I couldn’t turn that offer down. Blue Mustang waited for me so we could go into the store together. I had a brand new Christian song I had to listen to first before we went into the store. The author wanted my opinion before he released it. We then headed to the back of the store where the steaks were. I looked at a three-pack of steaks for $24 and I said, “Yeah, that’s a good price.” Blue Mustang was checking out what I was looking at. He said, “Put it in the basket. I’ll get one just like yours.” We then we went back to the front of the store. Blue Mustang cut over to the fruit isle. He said, “I need to get some oranges. Would you like some?” I love oranges and before I could finish my sentence he had a bag for me.” He then said, “Sonny, I have to get a snack. Let’s get some bananas. I will split a bunch with you.” I was looking forward to eating those bananas going to Denver. So Blue Mustang blessed me with the good food. When I took it home to put the food in the refrigerator, I was thinking about eating all that meat. God said, “Sonny, not all those steaks are for you.” My King did not say anymore so I did not know for sure what he meant.

The grill finally got up to temperature. I started cooking the rib eye steak and the potatoes on the open flame. The smell of the cooking steak started to radiate throughout the plaza at the apartment complex where I live. A homeless guy walking by came closer to watch me cook. He saw my steak cooking and said, “Oh man, it’s been a long time since I had a steak.” I sensed that he was hungry. Now I know what my King meant. I was about ready to give him my whole meal but my King said, “No Sonny, I want you to split your meal with him. I want you to give him the best part of the steak and share my Kingdom with him. I then said, “I would love to share my steak and my potatoes with you.” I split my food up and we sat down together. I began talking to him about Jesus Christ. I said, “My King loves you very much. He wants your heart.” We continued talking about his Kingdom. He soon wanted to give his heart to Jesus Christ.

We talked for approximately three hours. It was almost 4 a.m. I asked, “What do you want out of life?”

He said, “I would love just to be able to have a job and have a place to stay.”

I said, “We need to ask the King to grant you that desire.” I lifted him up in prayer and asked the King to provide him with a job and a place to stay. About the time I finished praying, a vehicle came by. It looks like a construction type vehicle. The guy pulls up and rolls his window down and said, “I had two guys that were supposed to go with me but changed their mind when they found out they had to live on the construction site. Do you know anybody that wants to work?”

I said, “Yeah I do. There’s a guy right here. He wants a job and a place to stay.”

The homeless man said, “I will go. I want this job very much and I am going to be one of your best workers.” My King made sure he quickly got a job. This was his desire from the beginning. I then focused on the driver. I asked, “How is your morning going?”

He sadly said, “It has been a lousy day. I still need two more guys for work.”

I said, “Before I start each day, I asked the King to grant me favor for the day. I would like to do the same for you.” I began praying for him for the organization of his day. Then we prayed for the location of two more workers or if they would show up in some way. About the time I finished praying, his phone rang. A man and his brother said, ” We want work. We also have a friend who wants a job.” He gave them a job description about doing construction, living onsite and food in the refrigerator. They had no problem and he hired them. So my King answered a second prayer that morning all before 5 a.m. The homeless man later called me and told me that his employer took him to Walmart and bought him some clothes to wear for work. He was very grateful for what just happened. He was still grateful that I shared my meal with him. He told me that he was about ready to start checking dumpsters for food. Ashamed, he then said, “You know if I was you, I probably would not have shared my food with you. I’m just so thankful that your love for me allowed you to share your food with me. You even spent your evening sharing God’s love for me.”

I told Blue Mustang what happened to one of his steaks. He said, “Wow, I had no idea that buying meat could bring somebody to Jesus Christ. Sonny, we should get more of those steaks on Labor Day when they’re on sale again. We will then pray over them that somehow these steaks would bring someone else to Jesus Christ.” I then began thinking what would have happened to this man if I told him to get lost. The vision of him crawling through dumpster after dumpster with no hope in his life is heart breaking. Now he knows Jesus and has a purpose in his life. It all started by sharing a meal.

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.

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.

Day of Many Miracles

Saturday morning my focus was on 2 different Gangs. I was to serve breakfast to the first gang and lunch to the second. Because God loves us so much, he likes to provide us with our favorite foods. He gave me a list of foods to buy for each gang. I climbed into my pickup and began my drive to Denver. I pray while driving that the Holy Spirit will prepare their hearts.

When I arrived in Denver, my fuel gauge was on empty. I headed towards my favorite Cosco to fill up. I found a pump that was empty and pulled up to fill. As I opened my door, I heard someone call out my name. I looked behind me and saw Steve, the man I prayed for at this store last month. He jumped out of his car and headed towards my pump and swiped his members card and his credit card. He said, “Sonny, just be blessed.” I began a conversation with Steve to find out what just happened. The Holy Spirit prompted him to buy a red cooler at the store. He was wondering what the cooler was for. Then he was promoted to go and buy some gas. This is definitely strange because he just got through filling hs car. He bought the cooler and headed back to the fuel pumps. As he neared the pumps, he recognized my pickup and quickly came up behind me. Steve figured out what he was supposed to do. After the fuel started flowing, he went and got the cooler out of his car and gave it to me. God definitely is preparing me to reach gangs on Memorial day weekend allowing me to stock up more beverages. God has been working mightily in Steve’s life. When I prayed for him last month, he accepted Jesus in his life. When he went home, his love for his wife increased mightily. He started cooking and helping around the house and let Jesus shine towards her. Steve’s whole family now knows Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. His wife, Sharon, called me and thanked me for what I did. I replied, “I had nothing to do with it. Only my King can change one’s heart.” She still calls me and shares what amazing things Steve is doing since Jesus Christ has taken over his life. It is now time to buy breakfast for the first gang.

I headed to King Soopers to get donuts, milk and orange juice. I then proceeded to the location of the first gang. God said, “Sonny, when you meet the gang give them their breakfast and pray for them then walk away.” It was around 10 am when I arrived where they were all standing. As I got out of my pickup, they all drew out their pistols and pointed them towards me and asked, “What do you want?”

I said, “I brought breakfast for you guys and to pray for all of you.” A couple of them grabbed me and threw me against my pickup.

The leader asked, “You brought us breakfast.”

I said, “I brought donuts, milk and orange juice.”

He replied, “Why are you doing this?”

I said, “Because my King said you guys were hungry. I would like to read a couple of scriptures to you guys.” I began reading John 3:16 and Jeremiah 29:11 to them. After I read the scriptures to them, I prayed for all of them.

They curiously asked, “How did you know we wanted donuts?”

I said, “That’s what my King said you wanted.”

One guy asked, “Who’s your King?” I did not have time to answer. Another guy retorted, “That’s Jesus Christ.” I nodded confirming his answer. After I put the donuts, milk, orange juice and the cups on the picnic table God said walk away. As I was walking to my pickup, I said, “God, bless you guys.” I climbed into my pickup and drove away. I watched them in my rearview mirror. They were all looking at me while I drove away. God is so Faithful. Now it is time to get food for the second gang.

God’s menu choice for them is tacos so I headed to my favorite Taco bell. I ordered several of the large taco boxes. The manager asked, “Sonny, are all these tacos going to the gang?” I said, “Yes.” The manager replied, “You always give everything to the gang. I want to make some tacos just for you. ” He handed the bag with the taco boxes. I went directly to the second gang. As I drove up, they also took their pistols out and aimed them at me. I got out anyway and said, “My name is Sonny.”

The leader asked, “What are you doing?” Before I could answer, one of his body guards picked me up and threw me into the back of my pickup box. Boy, that really smarts landing on that hard steel floor. I answered the leader from the back of the pickup. I said, “Are you guys hungry? I brought 5 dozen tacos for you guys.” As I climbed out of my pickup box, they started to put their weapons away.

The leader asked, “You brought us tacos.”

I said, “Yes, because my King said you were hungry and you guys wanted tacos.” Two guys started to push me around and threw me against my pickup. Out of nowhere the Latinos pulled up. They are another gang I witness to and have written to you about. They even call to give me their schedule. They were in the same park and were watching me closely. They surrounded us in their Mustangs. They all quickly exited their cars with their guns drawn towards the gang. The angry leader of the Latinos said, “If you guys touch Sonny again, all of you will get shot. Sonny is not here to fight with you guys. He’s here to bring food to you and to tell you about Jesus Christ. So don’t touch him.” They turned and headed back to their cars and drove away. The leader asked, “Who were those guys?” The Holy Spirit revealed, “Sonny, he doesn’t need to know.” So I told him, “I really do not know. But he feels that I am not a threat to anyone.”

I said, “Let me pray for you guys then I will drive away.” Before I prayed for them, I read Jeremiah 29:11 then I prayed for them. I got the 5 dozen tacos and drinks that I had in my cooler and set them on the table. I told them that Jesus Christ loves them as they started eating. I got my taco bag out and ate four of the tacos with them. I counted eight tacos left. Normally, the gangs devour everything in sight but they did not touch the bag. I wanted to give the tacos to the gang but God said, “No.” I loaded the cooler and my tacos into the pickup. I drove away from the park. As I drove around the corner I saw eight homeless guys holding signs saying “Will work for food? ” Now I know what the tacos are for. I parked and grabbed the tacos. I said, “I have a taco for each of you.” They were greatful for the food. One asked, “It would be great to have a Dr Pepper now. I have not had one for ages.”

I said, “I have one in the cooler for you.” They all began asking to have a drink of some kind. I had something left in the cooler for each of them. I began asking questions about them. They pointed out two of their friends who were asleep under the tree. I began thinking how they missed out on the food and the scripture of the wedding party. Some patrons did not have enough oil for their lamps and were forced to go to town to buy more. When they came back now prepared, the wedding party came and gone leaving them all alone. It is good to be ready. They also revealed to me that it has been difficult to get a job. When an employer finds out they are homeless, they do not want them. I said, “I cannot help you in that area. But my King can. Can I pray for you.” They wanted me to pray for each of them. As I lifted their unemployment situation to God, a landscaper was being directed by the Holy Spirit to come here. He saw me talking to the men and drove his work truck next to us. He introduced himself and that he was looking for workers and had a place for them to live with weekly trips into town to get things. He said, “If you show up for work each day for work and don’t steal from me that you will see a pay increase each month. We usually work through the month of October” He also warned them about what happened if they began not doing their job or stealing from him. He even gave a job to those sleeping. They all wanted to give their lives to Jesus Christ after witnessing such a powerful miracle. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory I did exactly what my King said.

So far the eight homeless are getting there before the boss. He serves them coffee and breakfast before work. They then discuss today’s work schedule. Everyone does his job. Being homeless together has bonded them like family. They want to support each other and they do work. They have worked late and not complained. If they are fast they can quit early or start tomorrow’s work today to get off early tomorrow. The boss said to me, “It is refreshing to have everyone there at the start of the day; not having to wonder if anyone will show up.”

As for the gangs, God has plans for me to speak to them again next weekend. I will keep you informed.

New Pueblo Gang in Denver

It was early Saturday morning and God said, “There is a new gang from Pueblo in Denver that is hanging out at the park where you witness to gangs frequently. They are hungry. I want you to serve them tacos.” I headed towards Denver and stopped by Toco Bell to get a bunch of their lunch box deals. When it was my turn at the 1st window, the girl whose name is Sahara, recognized me from my many visits here. Sahara said, “Hi Sonny. Are you getting tacos for gang members today?”

I said, “Yes, I need 3 party boxes of tacos to go.”

Sara said, “Coming right up Sonny.”

When I pulled up to next window to pay, they handed me a large Baja Blast. They then had me pull forward to a parking spot. Sara, Kari and Rachel came out with all the taco party boxes. They asked me to step out of my pickup to lay hands on me. All three prayed out loud for me and gave me big hugs. They continuously pray for me all the time. They even have their parents praying for me.

I left the parking lot and headed to my destination. As I was nearing the park around 10:30 AM, I could see the gang hanging out by the picnic tables. I continued to drive closer to them to find a parking spot nearer to their location. The Holy Spirit had a spot for me to park so I took it. While I was getting out of my pickup, the leader came towards me with his pistol drawn and exclaimed, “What are you doing here?”

I responded, “I have come to bring God’s Kingdom to you. He loves you very much.”

The leader asked, “So you have come to preach to us. We are going to have to shoot you for bothering us.” They started pushing me around.

I responded with the most powerful words on the planet, “Before you shoot me, let me pray for you.” I was starting to pray but the leader noticed the smell of Toco Bell coming out of my pickup. He then said, “Your pickup smells like Toco Bell. ”

I said, “Yes, my King told me to get tocos for you to eat.”

The leader responded, “You brought us tocos to eat.” The leader began to drop his pistol. I could see some of the gang members already coming over to get something to eat. Some gang members kept their pistols drawn while they ate. The leader was so used to getting ripped off or violence of some sort that getting something from love has never happened to him before. He just stood there.

I said, “Yes, if you are not hungry, I am going to eat.” I went over to my pickup to unload the Tocos and pop I had on ice.

The leader’s body guards exclaimed, “We cannot shoot someone that would bring food to us.” They too went over to get something to eat. This was my opportunity to pray for them. They all had their mouths full so they could hear me pray for them. As I prayed for several of them, God said, “Sonny, I want you to stop and pray for Blue Mustang now. ” I usually don’t look at my watch but I noticed the time was 11:12 am. I told the guys, “My King has asked me to pray for Blue Mustang, I am going to do as my King asked.” I left them to eat the Tocos. I prayed for Blue Mustang. The next day he reported that he was switching tasks. He to noticed the time was also 11:12 am. We are not sure what God did but he either solved a problem for him or protected him or both. Heck, it could be just to encourage. My King never asks me to do anything unless it was important.

I came back to finish praying. The leader was amazed on my loyalty. He exclaimed, “You are loyal to Blue Mustang.”

I said, “Yes I am.” I finished praying for the rest of the them. God then told me to leave them.

I was going to visit another gang in south east Denver but God had other plans. He said, “Sonny, you are not finished with this gang. I want you to get three big bags of Cosco popcorn and cookies. I went to Cosco first. The parking lot was full. I got in line created because of social distancing. I counted that I was about 40 to 50 people ahead of me. A man came from behind me and said, “Sonny, come follow me. I don’t want you to wait.” I recognized him from three weeks ago. I was shopping at this same Cosco and I noticed him crying in a corner of the store. I didn’t ask him anything but if it would be all right to pray for him. He said, “Yes, I would like for you to pray for me.” So I prayed for him right there in the store. He works at this store and was just coming back in from a break. Even in this large crowd, he recognized me. I stepped out of line and followed him to a side door. He said, “I have to go back to work but go ahead and shop.” I found the big bags of popcorn but the cookies were picked over. I had to go to King Soopers to get the cookies.

I headed back to the park and arrived about 2 pm. The gang was still there where I left them. The leader came up to my pickup. The leader exclaimed, “Are you going to preach to us about Jesus Christ some more?”

I said, “My King wants wants you to be part of his family and he wants me to take his love and bring his message to you.”

The leader then asked, “Are you a full time preacher? ”

I retorted, “Only when I am awake. ”

The leader responded, “We have a funny man here.” The gang still had their pistols drawn on me. The gang members started to pushing me around. One other gangs nearby was watching what was going on. This happened to be Alfredo’s gang. He was in one of my other stories. Alfredo was angry and walked over by the leader. He angrily said, “If I see you guys mess with Sonny anymore, I am going to have my guys shoot every one of you dead. Sonny only brings food and talks about Jesus. He is no threat to you.” Alfredo turned around and walked away. I was amazed that he came by himself and this gang did not dare point their pistols towards Alfredo or his gang.

To diffuse the tension, I said, “Look what I have in my pickup for you guys. ” He looked behind me and noticed the food I brought. He then asked, “Are you going to feed us again?”

I reached into my pickup and brought out the popcorn. I said, “Look I got popcorn from Cosco. ”

I prayed out loud to my King to give thanks before I gave them the popcorn to eat. After I was done praying, the leader asked, “Do you pray before every meal?”

I said, “Yes, because I want our King to bless our food and I want to show you that praying for this food is showing that we are grateful for the food that has been provided.” I then handed him a bag of popcorn.

The leader exclaimed, “Cosco popcorn, I love their popcorn.” He started eating the popcorn and consumed several cans of Dr. Pepper. I continued to talk about the wonders of Jesus Christ and his love. Nearly two hours had passed. I discovered that the leaders name is Franchisco. The gang started to lower their weapons. The Holy Spirit started revealing memories to Franchisco in his youth going his grandparents home. Grandma would make him popcorn and share Jesus Christ with him. This happened many times so she shared Christ with him many times. So when I gave him popcorn and shared Jesus Christ, all those memories came alive. He suddenly exclaimed, “I’m ready to give my heart to Jesus Christ. I want this life to end. ”

His men and the girls really loved and Franchisco. They saw their leader’s heart change in front of their eyes. They said, “We too want to serve God also.” I prayed for all of them. They laid their arms on each other in a huddle and gave their hearts to Jesus. I prayed for the ladies also. I want everyone to know that women in gangs are treated more like property than women. When one experiences the love Jesus Christ gives me in my life, she wanted to marry me because of that love she felt. I told her that its Jesus you feel; not me. I told her that that I will pray for the right man to come into her life and you will be glad that you did not marry me. I don’t think she is entirely convinced. Men, please treat your ladies like Jesus treats his church. We ALL should do this. It will help our ladies love us even more.

Even though they could have drove back to Pueblo to share what happened to their parents, the parents wanted to come to Denver to share in their excitement. I prayed for them and their sons and daughters. They went back home to Pueblo. Franchisco in 1 week of coming to Jesus printed fliers to the teenagers in his neighborhood to come and have church in the park. He read Matthew 6:33 to them and explained to them what it meant. Of the 37 parents and teenagers who showed up to have church, 21 wanted to give their lives to Jesus Christ. It is exciting to see the power of God move like this in Franchisco life. I will keep you informed of anything else Franchisco does. Jesus has some big things for him to do.

Serving Thanksgiving to the Eastsiders

It is Thanksgiving Day and I’m about ready to serve a feast to a gang in Denver.  This all started on a Tuesday afternoon when I was out grocery shopping at King Soopers. As I was checking out, I was listening to a couple of ladies talking to each other. One said to the other one, “You know, I should cook a Thanksgiving dinner for someone in need.” About that same time, God said to me, “Sonny, you need to do the same thing. I want you to serve a Thanksgiving dinner to a gang. I want you to serve the Eastsiders.”

The Eastsiders live near Commerce City. Everytime they would see me, they pushed me around. They would also hit me. They have sliced my arms with their knives.  They are one of the meanest gangs in Denver that I have encountered.  I usually am hurting after I meet up with this gang. So my heart rate was kind of racing thinking about doing this. God said, “Sonny, prepare the table before my enemy on Thanksgiving day.”  I was thinking in terms of pizza, hamburgers or chicken.  God said, “No Sonny, I want you to serve them up a feast.” God gave me instructions seven days before Thanksgiving to start getting everything ready.

I have never done a Thanksgiving dinner like this for anyone so I really had no idea how to begin. But God was there to help me. Later that day, an undercover policeman called me and said, “My wife just told me that the Holy Spirit told her to make a turkey for you. Is there something going on that I should know about?” I shared what God told me to do with him. Even later that day another undercover policeman’s wife said she was told to make the stuffing for the turkey. As the days passed, others called to cook parts of the meal. I had a lady volunteer from Fort Collins to make the pies. The mom of the undercover policeman’s wife making the turkey found out what was going on and wanted to made the rolls.  Some of the undercover police officers wanted to help serve the Thanksgiving dinner. I had to turn them down because the gangs feel threatened when there’s more than one person present. Everything that was on my list was going to be prepared by someone. God is Faithful. The Eastsiders were going to have a homemade Thanksgiving dinner. The snow storm we had two days before Thanksgiving sure made a mess of the roads and made it more challenging to deliver the food to Commerce City. I picked up the pies in Fort Collins first and worked my way around Denver picking up all the ingredients for the feast. I picked up the turkey last.  Everyone who had volunteered had their dish prepared to perfection. The pies had to go the longest distance. I prayed, “Lord, with the rough roads keep everything stable and intact.” I wasn’t sure where they live but I knew approximately where they hung out.  I did not just want to keep driving around bouncing the food in my truck. Soon an undercover policeman called me and gave me their exact location. So everything arrived in excellent condition.

I arrived at the gangs neighborhood at 11 a.m. From a distance, I could see that they just finished clearing the snow out in front of their home. I pulled up and parked in that spot. I got out of my truck and opened the rear door of my pickup to get the food. The leader, whose name is Apollo, stepped out and asked, “Sonny, what are you doing here?”

I turned around and said, “My King told me to come and bless you guys with a Thanksgiving Dinner. ”

Apollo said, “I can’t believe you brought us a Thanksgiving Feast knowing how we have treated you.”

I said, “Not only my King wanted to bring you Thanksgiving, but many others wanted to bless you guys. With love and enthusiasm, they wanted to give up their time to make sure that you had a good Thanksgiving meal.”

Apollo asked, “Do you need help Sonny?”

I said, “Yes that would be great!” He told some of his guys to come and help me. As I was walking into the house, some of the guys had their pistols drawn on me to make sure I didn’t pull anything funny. It is extremely difficult for these guys to trust anyone. Even though they had me covered, everyone was excited to see all the food. There was the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls and corn on the table. We put the four pumpkin pies and three apple pies on another table.

I had brought a cooler with Dr Pepper, Pepsi, and Mountain Dew in it. The gang set the table with plates, forks and knives. Everyone was waiting patiently before eating.  Apollo spoke up, “Guys, put your weapons down. We don’t need this here.” As the feast was about to start,  I could hear some of the girls crying in the background.  I said, “Everything is set up.  Let me pray and thank Jesus Christ for this food.”  As I was praying, I could hear more of the gang crying.  I said, “Amen.” I then said, “The ladies go first.”

As I was serving them, they kept thanking me for what just happened. After they were all served, I sat down next to Apollo and ate with him. A couple of guys were sitting behind me at another table still watching me.

Apollo asked, “Sonny, how did you get started talking to gangs about Jesus?” I told them how my heart was broken by my family. That’s when I asked God to give me a ministry that nobody wanted. That’s when my King said, “Then follow me.” God started healing my heart. He brought me to Denver to minister to gangs because they have broken hearts too. My King wants to bring healing to all your hearts. That’s why I’m here to obey the word of my King to bring healing to all of you.

After we ate, some of them began hugging me. I read Mathew 6:34 to them. Then I read John 3:16 to them. Then I stepped into the living room and said, “Those of you that want your names written in the lambs book of life come into the living room.”  They all came to the living room.

Apollo asked, “Can God really forgive me of all my sins?”

I said, “Yes, but you first have to ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart.”

Apollo said, “I want to ask Jesus Christ into my heart.” All of them then asked Jesus Christ for forgiveness of all their sins and asked Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. A lot of them began to cry.  Later, they started to call their parents to tell them what happened.  All their parents came to welcome them back. I had a chance to pray for many of their parents. A lot of them were already Christians. The ones that weren’t wanted to give their hearts to Jesus.  It was so Beautiful. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. I am not sure how to describe it but the power of God during this meal was totally amazing, energizing and different from anything I have experienced before.

Chinese Mafia Asks Questions

March 29, 2019

Friday at 2:30 p.m. one of the sons of the Chinese Mafia called me and asked me if I could meet with him, his brother and two of his cousins in Denver at 9 p.m. over dessert and talk about the Bible. As I was talking with him, I was praying and asking God if he wanted me to meet with them. God said, “Go and tell them how much I love them and to take milk and cookies with you.”

I said, “Yes, I can meet with you guys. I am bringing milk and Oreo cookies.”

He got all excited with my invitation. I took 5 glasses and met them on the south side of Denver. They were happy to see me. When they climbed in my pickup, I noticed that they all had their Bibles with them. After we were done eating cookies, one of them opened his Bible to Genesis 3 and started reading the passage. After finishing he talked about the serpent being crafty and a liar. He made a point about how the Devil tries to get in our minds and lies to us.

I asked, “If you asked Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins and ask Jesus Christ into your hearts. The Holy Spirit is there to help you. The Devil is already defeated because of Jesus Christ going to the cross.”

Our discussion stopped here because they had to leave. I prayed with them and thanked them for coming all the way to Denver. They thanked me for taking the time to meet with them. God is Faithful! My King gets the Glory and the Victory.

Sep 17, 2019

Today these young men have given their lives to Jesus Christ. They’ve been able to even to witness to their parents and they’ve had an impact on their lives and today they are doing things for God themselves. This was another victory for our King. These stories were password protected earlier to protect the young men. But now that they are God’s children I want you to know about God’s glory in their lives.

God Sends Me to New Jersey

The Police jet that picked my up in Chicag0 came to pick me up a Denver International Airport. I boarded the jet and I am now heading to the state of New Jersey. God said, “There is a gang there that is hurting everybody who comes into contact with their turf. I want you to witness to this gang and tell them about my son Jesus Christ. Take 15 Bibles and 14 crosses and read 1 John 1:9 and John 3:16-17 to them. Serve them by taking milk, orange juice and 2 dozen chocolate doughnuts for them.”

I was dropped off 7 blocks away from the gang on “Death Street” because the uncover police didn’t want to be seen before I started to witness to the gang. The Undercover Police prayed for me. They prayed, “God, give Sonny wisdom to touch their hearts and protect him while he is sharing the love of Jesus to them.” It was a very powerful prayer. They then anointed me with oil. As I walked, I prayed for the gang I was to meet. I asked God to show me their hearts and why their hearts are broken.  I prayed that my King would start the healing to their hearts even before I arrived.

As I neared my destination, a man named Job walked up to us and said, “Our King said don’t walk into the street for 7 minutes.  Our King is still preparing their hearts.” Then Job turned and walked away.  You may be asking, “Is this the same Job that I met in Chicago? It is. He could be an angel sent by God or he could be a man who was sent by God to aid in my Ministry. Either way, he is one cool dude and I thank God for sending him. The undercover police also asked, “Who was that?”

I said, “His name is Job. He was sent to us by our King. He told us to wait 7 minutes  before crossing the street.”

After the 7 minutes passed,  God said, “Walk towards them.” While I was walking towards the gang, God showed me the Leader’s heart and why it was broken.  I walked straight to the leader. The Leader exclaimed, “What’s your last words to me? Because you are going to die here today.”

I said, “My last words to you are: I forgive you and love you just like my King has loved me and has forgiven me.”

The Leader said, “You never should have come here!” Then the Leader said, “Your not scared of dying, are you.”

I said, “When my eyes close in this world they will open in God’s Kingdom. I get to see my King and from there I will pray for you.”

God told me, “Pray for all of them.”

I responded,  “I was sent here to pray for all of you. After I finish praying then you can shoot me.”

The Leader said, “Go ahead. Pray for all of us.”

I said, “Before I pray for all of you, there are two Scriptures that God wants me to read to all of you. One scripture is John 3:16-17 and the other is 1 John 1:9.”

John 3:16-17

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

1 John 1:9

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

God told me, “Pray for the Leader last.” As I was walking by the Leader to pray for the others, I could see his eyes tearing up. As I began praying for the others, God began showing me why their hearts were broken. I began praying that God would bring healing to their hearts.

As I prayed for each one, I hung a cross on their neck and anointed them with oil.  Then I handed them a Bible. Each gang member accepted my prayer.  Our God is so awesome.  Lastly, I walked towards the Leader. God showed me that the Leader was wearing a cross already under his shirt. That is why God said to me to only take 14 crosses even there are 15 in the gang.  The Leader said, “You are praying for me, anointing me with oil and giving me a Bible. Where’s my cross?”

I said, “It’s under your shirt. The cross you are wearing was given to you by your Grandpa.  Your Grandpa also read John 3:16 and 1 John 1:9 to you before he died. Those were his favorite verses.”

The Leader started to cry and said, “I know that you were sent here by God for me and my Gang. No one here knows about the cross under my shirt and my Grandpa’s favorite verses. I’m tired of running from God.”

I responded, “Those of you that want your names written in the Lambs book of life come to me and I will pray for you.”

All of them walked up to me and and asked Jesus Christ to forgive them of all their sins. Then they asked Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. They all called their parents who were anxious to have them come back home. Before their parents arrived,  I continued to pray with them and telling them that God has a new purpose for their lives. The Leader came over and hugged me for a long time. I exclaimed, “My king loves you and is so proud of you and I know your Grandpa is praising God for your Salvation.”

I kept hugging them and praying with them. When all their parents arrived, they all cried while hugging and loving their sons. God told me, “Pray for their parents.”   I asked the parents, “Do you  want your names written in the lambs book of life?” All of them came forward with their sons. All the parents gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. My King gets all the Glory and the Victory. We all sat down and ate the food that I brought with me and continued to talk about the wonders of God and his son Jesus.

Entire Dallas Gang Give Lives for Jesus Christ

Monday morning when I landed in DIA at Denver, I received a phone call from an undercover police officer.  He said, “Sonny a gang moved to Denver last Friday from Dallas Texas. There are 20 of them.”   He then told me where  I would find them.

God said, “Read John 3:16 to them and take them fried chicken.” I went to King Soopers and I picked up 40 pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. I then filled a cooler full of bottled water. I placed the food into my pickup and headed to the location where they were hanging out. When I pulled up to the gang and climbed out of my pickup, the Leader said, “What do you want?”

I said, “My Boss sent me here to meet you because he said you guys were hungry.”

The leader said, “So, who’s your Boss.”

I said, “His name is Jesus Christ. He told me to bring fried chicken.”

As they started to eat, I prayed out loud to Bless the food. I then read John 3:16 to them.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

When I finished reading,  three of them came to me and said, “We are ready to accept Jesus Christ.” So the three gang members from Dallas, Texas gave their hearts to Jesus Christ on Monday. God is so faithful. One of them has an Uncle and Aunt that lives in Pueblo, Colorado. They drove to Denver to pick the young men up. The other young men’s parents are coming from Dallas, Texas to take them back to their homes.  We stayed up most of the night Monday talking about the awesomeness of  God. The Uncle and Aunt from Pueblo, Colorado also asked a lot of questions about God. They both gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. It was beautiful to see. They all cried and kept hugging me and each other. My king, Jesus Christ, gets all the glory and the victory.

Tuesday was more powerful then Monday. That morning I went again to the park where the Dallas Gang has been hanging out. I parked my pickup in the middle of all their cars and proceeded to get out of my vehicle. The leader said, “What are you going to read to us this morning?”

I said, “My king told me to read Mathew 6:33 to all of you. I brought doughnuts and milk for all of you guys.”

While they were eating, I read Mathew 6:33

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

The leader started to cry and all the gang members began to surround us. They asked him, “What’s going on?”

The leader said, “That verse hangs up in my Grandma and Grandpa’s living room. My Grandma told me when I was a little boy, someday a man is going to read this verse to you and you are going to give your heart to God. This  man will be sent to you by God.”

The leader asked for forgiveness and gave his heart to Jesus Christ. The rest of the gang said, “We have known about Jesus Christ for a long time. Our leader has never cried before.  This must be real.”

The entire gang gave their hearts to Jesus Christ today. They all called their parents and told them what they did. Their parents welcomed them back  home in Dallas, Texas. They are on their way back home as of this writing. My king gets all the glory and the victory.

As I was writing down the events of the greatness of our God, I had a chance to talk to the Grandma and the Grandpa of the Leader.  The Grandma was so excited. She said, “I know all those boys and I had them in children’s church every Sunday and Wednesday nights. I praise God that they finally gave their hearts to Jesus Christ.”

My king gets all the glory and the victory. Amen.  Before they headed back to Texas, I went with the gang members and talked to their landlord and told him what God did to their hearts. The landlord is a Christian and he prayed with them before they drove to Dallas, Texas.  The house was rented to them last Friday. The Landlord gave them back their rent for the month and gave them their deposit back. It was so powerful. God is amazing.  The parents of the boys are having a big celebration barbecue for all the boys and rejoicing to have them come back home.
